Human connections are also divided into upper and lower positions. If people in lower positions want to be connected, they have to flatter and flatter others. Don't look down on this method. If you want to do well, this is really a craft, and there are many ways to do it.
But the problem is that Mr. Shen is difficult to deal with. As for the woman, she has been clean and tidy; in terms of money, she doesn't accept anything except some jade; what's more, the evil aura around her makes ordinary people have no guts to approach her.
The previous relationship with the Jingbei Official Academy Grand Ceremony Wine was not easy to establish. After all, the Official Academy Grand Ceremony Wine had a high status, and if you wanted to get close to it, you could also close the door for most people.
Now the Shen family in Xinliang City has opened a wide door for everyone.
However, neither the Xuanqing Guards nor the local yamen or the dental shop came over in a hurry. They all had to be "appropriate" and those who were not reckless would just come over and slap them.
But it is different for merchants.
After just one night of fermentation, the news that the Shen family was a blood relative of Shen Hao, the commander of the Black Flag Camp, had spread throughout the "upper class" of Xinliang City, and many people had been sorting out the various relationships in their hands overnight.
As soon as it dawned the next day, as expected, some merchants took the lead and extended goodwill to the Shen family. But to everyone's surprise, the first person who wanted to get in touch with the Shen family was actually a wealthy businessman.
The Shen family has been running a wood carving shop and a jade shop. There are many experienced craftsmen under them, but the business has been tepid. It is not a problem to support a large family, but there are more people in the family. If the family business It won't be long before things start to go downhill. Therefore, the Shen family has been thinking of ways to open up their own business avenues.
No matter how hard we tried over the years, we couldn't squeeze into the old door. However, a new door opened last year, which gave the second generation of the Shen family an idea.
That's air conditioning.
Ordinary air conditioners have wooden shells with some simple carvings and simple craftsmanship. Slightly higher-end air conditioners have exquisite wood carvings or jade carvings. Some top-level air conditioners will also be shaped by some master sculptors.
The Shen family's shop is small, and there are no sculpting masters in charge. Their idea is very simple, that is, they hope to take over some work from Gemei Air Conditioning, and they are also targeting the customization of mid-to-low specifications air conditioner casings.
This form of Gemei Air Conditioning is called "outsourcing". This method is very novel. It not only saves Gemei Air Conditioning a lot of money to support low- and medium-level craftsmen, but also gives many small and medium-sized sculpture shops more sources of income.
But it’s difficult to get into this business. The Shen family contacted a manager from Gemei Air Conditioning several times but failed to do so.
But this morning, as soon as the store opened, the manager from Gemei Air Conditioner came over and said that he had agreed to the Shen family's request for manufacturing low- to medium-sized wooden casings and jade casings, and generously expressed his experience in outsourcing. The quantity will be determined based on the actual production capacity of the Shen family. The price follows the market price. The only requirement is that the Shen family complete the outsourcing share on time and with high quality and quantity.
Is this good news? Of course it counts. As long as you can get involved in the Gemei air-conditioning business, it will be a profitable business. Moreover, they also specifically said that the amount of outsourcing would be based on the Shen family's production, which was extremely generous. In other words, as much as the Shen family can produce, Gemei air conditioners need to be produced there. The premise is that the goods can be shipped on time and the quality and quantity are maintained.
This sudden business made the Shen family extremely happy. After their mood calmed down a little, they all thought of the reason why Gemei Air Conditioner suddenly came to the door so proactively.
It must be because of our relative in Fengri City, the commander of the Black Flag Battalion, Mr. Shen!
What does it mean that someone in the court is easy to be an official? The same goes for doing business! Even though Xuanqingwei would not be directly involved with merchants, their huge power is still awe-inspiring, and it is normal to have the idea of "getting familiar". In the opinion of the Shen family, Gemei Air Conditioner's proactive overtures also fall into this category.
There was nothing to consider in this matter. Shen Wentian immediately went to the headquarters of Gemei Air Conditioning in Xinliang City and signed the outsourcing contract. According to the current maximum output of Shen's two shops, 20% was reserved to deal with emergencies. There is no room for maneuver in case something happens, but there is no room for maneuver.
Three of the Shen family went there, Shen Wentian and his two sons who were in charge of the wood carving shop and the jade carving shop respectively. When they came back, they pulled an ox cart with three ordinary air conditioners.
"Ah! Is this an air conditioner? Why did you buy three units in one trip?"
As soon as we got home, the family members were surprised and curious as they helped unload the car and circled around the air conditioner. Although this thing is not very expensive in ordinary specifications, and can be afforded by the Shen family's income, but this thing consumes spiritual stones, and it cannot be used if it is affordable. Therefore, some people buy air conditioners just as decorations, or turn them on for a while to show their dignity when guests come over. In this way, any house with air conditioning is regarded as a well-off family.
"I didn't buy it, it was given by the manager at Gemei. It was said to be a benefit for outsourcers. All outsourcers have it, but we got an extra one."
"A gift?! And such a good thing?!"
Shen Wentian, who was standing by and smiling, said with a smile: "Okay, okay, one of these three will be placed in the wood carving shop, one will be placed in the jade carving shop, and the rest will be placed in the main room.
Wanjun, didn't you say before that a friend was selling pan-spiritual stones? Go buy three and come back and embed them. But don't open it randomly unless necessary. This thing is too expensive to use. "
In the past, I felt that there was no need to buy it, and I couldn’t afford to use it, but it is different now. Things are given as gifts, and they must be presented even if they are just to save face. Otherwise, wouldn’t they be looked down upon by the benefactors who just made the connection?
Moreover, Shen Wentian brought back more than these three air conditioners this time. In addition to an outsourcing contract, there was also a "down payment", which was considered an advance payment and was used to buy materials for Shen's shop. Moreover, the subsequent accounts will be handed over in batches, so that once the goods in the contract are delivered, the Shen family will make a huge profit.
Although the profit per unit is not high, how can the quantity be large?
With money, especially with a stable channel for incoming money, Shen Wentian no longer needs to save as much as before.
The family members all smiled and distributed three air conditioners according to Shen Wentian's instructions. The last one was placed in a conspicuous place in the main room, and it suddenly felt like the room was on a higher level. This feeling is weird and cheesy, but yet so real.
Seeing the family members laughing, the contract in their hands, and the air conditioner in the room, Shen Wentian was very satisfied, and his smile was even more comforting.
The bet was won! This time the big bet that cost the lives of the whole family was won!
Shen Wentian understood that Gemei Air Conditioner's show of goodwill was just the beginning. Later, there would be various big shots trying to make good friends with his Shen family in various ways.
From now on, the road for the Shen family will be wider!
