After walking around the furniture factory with Yu Changfan, Qiao Shichu discovered that although the business of his furniture factory was not bad, the furniture he produced were actually very common styles today. Even if there were slight changes, they were all similar. In short, The style is single and not fashionable.
Although everyone has just had enough food and clothing for a few years now, the demand for home decoration has not been stimulated. Most people think that furniture only needs to be affordable and practical, and they do not pursue too much personalization. However, Qiao Shichu feels that, If you just blindly produce popular furniture without innovating and creating your own unique characteristics, then the furniture factory will probably not be able to survive for a long time.
So, Qiao Shichu asked Yu Changfan: "Does the factory have its own furniture designer?"
When Yu Changfan heard what she said, he was a little confused and said, "Furniture also has designers? Don't the carpenters who make furniture come up with it themselves or copy it after seeing other people's furniture styles? Aren't the tables and chairs all similar in appearance?"
When Qiao Shichu heard this, he rubbed his forehead. No one paid much attention to this kind of personalized design these days. It was understandable that Yu Changfan ignored it, but he couldn't ignore it forever.
"Of course there are furniture designers, just like clothing designers and jewelry designers. Furniture designers design the styles they want according to their different preferences and needs. The more styles they design, the more they can attract. Do you have many customers? The competitiveness is definitely much stronger than other furniture factories with a single style. After all, when you buy one piece of clothing, you want to see a few more different ones to compare, not to mention that furniture can be used for several years. Decades of daily utensils?" Qiao Shichu said.
Yu Changfan thought thoughtfully: "You are right, but if I ask someone to design it, other furniture factories will soon copy the style we have worked so hard to design. Wouldn't we lose money?"
"This requires registering patents and copyrights and preventing piracy." Qiao Shichu said with a sigh. Piracy is very popular in every industry now. Even if the laws focusing on copyright and patents have been improved a lot in 20 or 30 years, there are still various problems. The emergence of piracy is indeed very annoying, but you can't just mess it up just because you are upset. At worst, you can design more anti-piracy procedures for your furniture.
Qiao Shichu explained to Yu Changfan some of the importance of protecting bricks and patents. Yu Changfan frowned, but although he had no knowledge of future generations, he knew that this was only beneficial to his business, so He took Qiao Shichu's words to heart.
When Qiao Shi first saw him, she didn't feel that she was nosy or dictating, but he was very open-minded and listened to advice. She felt that this man had no machismo and was still willing to listen to advice. So when she was happy, she drew a dozen pictures for him on the spot. Furniture plans.
There are foldable and retractable tables and chairs, hanging chairs on the balcony, Arhat beds and lazy sofas in the living room or bedroom, as well as double-decker canopy beds suitable for families with many children or small rooms and large populations...
Although she is not a furniture design major, she is well-informed after all. She can design a wide variety of fashionable furniture according to the aesthetics of people of this era, which will probably always be more competitive than today.
Yu Changfan watched with amazement as Qiao Shichu drew several design drawings like a god, and said, "Daughter-in-law, why didn't I know you had this ability? You can even design furniture?" "
"Humph, I went to high school. I loved art the most when I was studying. It's just a pity that I didn't get into college. Otherwise, I would definitely be a painter." Qiao Shichu said proudly. She didn't lie. When I was studying, the original owner He really likes painting, but his talent is average. Qiao Shichu is just exaggerating now.
"Daughter-in-law, you are so wonderful! I am so lucky to marry you!" Yu Changfan's mouth felt like it was covered with honey, and he praised Qiao Shichu to the fullest.
It's not that Yu Changfan was so complimentary because he was wearing a filter on his wife, but Qiao Shichu's design drawings are indeed worthy of praise. Furniture is not a very complicated object, and the internal structure is clear at a glance. Moreover, Yu Changfan has been running a furniture factory for almost a year. He still had good eyesight, and he could tell at a glance that the pictures Qiao Shichu drew were extraordinary. He could imagine how amazing the real thing would be after it was made.
"Don't think that because you praise me so much, you don't have to pay me design fees. Let me tell you, I didn't give you these design drawings for free." After Qiao Shichu drew all the styles in his mind, he tilted his head. He looked at Yu Changfan and said.
"Of course, how can I let you, my wife, work for nothing? I will definitely give you a design fee..." Yu Changfan was stunned for a moment, and immediately answered like this. He was very sensible, and felt that since he hired someone to design, he would pay you , then of course you have to pay for the design designed by your wife, otherwise wouldn’t you think that your wife is not even as good as outside employees?
"But my wife, I don't know how much design fee I should pay." Yu Changfan scratched his head and said.
"Let's share it. I'll talk to you in detail later. After all, I don't know much about the prices on the market right now." Qiao Shichu said bluntly.
"Okay, no problem." Yu Changfan agreed.
After Qiao Shichu took Yu Chengxuan's child to the furniture factory, not only did the furniture factory get more than ten new and fashionable furniture styles, but it also made the female employees in the factory who were jealous of Yu Changfan restrain their petty thoughts.
After all, after they met Qiao Shichu, they only felt ashamed of themselves. When Qiao Shichu didn't come before, they only thought that the boss's wife must be an unkempt, yellow-faced woman who only took care of the children at home. She was not as young and beautiful as herself. They worked hard to pry In the corner, maybe he can really squeeze out the boss lady and take the position.
But as soon as Qiao Shichu came, they knew that they had no hope of rising to the top, because they were neither as beautiful nor as good-tempered as Qiao Shichu, nor could they casually design unique, novel and fashionable furniture, let alone others. Not only are they married and have children, but they also have a very good relationship with their boss. When they stand together, they are so intimate that no outsider can get in. The family of three has its own atmosphere.
Flies don't bite seamless eggs. Unfortunately, Yu Changfan is the seamless egg. If he were like Xue Yanzong with cracked eggs all over his body, the goshawk that bit him could drown his entire body.
After that, Qiao Shichu asked if there were any young girls who kept running to him. Yu Changfan shook his head and said that the rumors in their furniture factory were that the boss lady was so powerful, she was beautiful and capable, and she even treated the boss Take care of it...
Qiao Shichu:......
Well, although the furniture factory does not have her as a person, it is good to have her legend.
