277 Brief Wooden Wind
The master glanced at Yu Bing’s thin body. Just as he was about to carry it alone, Yu Bing wrapped her hand in a cloth and raised a piece of glass. “I’ll help you.”
The driver was stunned for a moment. Seeing Yu Bing’s serious expression, he raised the glass and moved it out of the door with Yu Bing. Then, he placed it in the cart gently. The remaining pieces were relatively small, so it was easier to move them.
After helping the driver move the glass up, Yu Bing said goodbye to Mr. Yang and the warehouse manager before leaving.
After unloading the glass at the office, Yu Bing waited for more than an hour before seeing Xiao Sheng return with a few people. One of them was a carpenter who had brought his son along.
!!
The remaining three people were led by Uncle Zhao, who was the oldest. The three of them were in charge of carving out a rectangle that was three meters long and 1.5 meters wide from the wall one meter away from the door. Then, they smeared putty on the entire room and separated it into a small office of 15 square meters. The office would be used as a signing ground for customers.
Yu Bing wanted to build a simple log-style shop. The left-hand side of the door was designated as a display area, and the right-hand side was a recreation area to entertain guests and chat about products.
Against the wall of the display area, the 3.5-meter-tall wooden cabinet made of top lattice covered the entire wall. It was made of raw wood varnish. The lattice of the wooden cabinet had three different specifications. There was a square with a 0.5m x 0.5m specification, and there were also rectangles with other specifications.
Nowadays, people’s aesthetics were still limited to symmetry. Yu Bing wanted to break this aesthetic standard and attract the attention of the people coming and going through creative designs.
In the middle of the shop, there was a row of waist-high wooden cabinets. At the bottom, there was a locked cabinet that could be used as a small warehouse to store samples. On top, there was a flat display table, where the products would be arranged in various positions. Then, according to the holiday, there would be all kinds of gift boxes displayed.
In the recreation area, there was a sofa and a small wooden coffee table.
There was a wooden shelf with green plants in the space between the sofa and the office. Coupled with the two large floor-to-ceiling glass windows beside the door, the environment was refreshing and elegant, making the people who entered feel relaxed.
When Xiao Sheng heard about this design, he was filled with anticipation. At this moment, as he watched Yu Bing talking to the workers, he felt that she was like a small sun in the winter. She was bright, but not blinding. She was warm, but not scorching, making him feel the urge to get close to her.
After giving instructions on the renovation, they began to discuss the price. Uncle Zhao provided the materials and construction. After all, Xiao Sheng and Yu Bing had limited time and were amateurs, so it was better to let the expert state the total price, which added up to 45 yuan.
The carpenter’s family had the habit of storing all kinds of wood, so the materials and labor cost a total 70 yuan, mainly because high-quality wood wasn’t cheap.
After the discussion, both sides started renovation at the same time. The renovation would be completed in three days.
By the time they were done, it was already past three in the afternoon. The two of them found a random shop to eat at. Then, they took the prepared materials to the local Commerce Bureau to file.
They originally thought that with the approval from the Pingjiang County Commercial Bureau, after finding the address and showing the rental contract and various factory documents, it would be very easy to file it. Unexpectedly, they encountered a tough nut to crack!
After a young lady in her twenties read the document, she rejected Yu Bing’s offer. “I’m sorry, this won’t do. I’ve never heard of an office having a display. An office is an office. It isn’t a shop. Why do you have to display products?”
When Yu Bing saw the other party’s bureaucratic demeanor, she knew that giving gifts definitely wouldn’t work on her, so she could only try her best to explain, “An office is ultimately a place where the factory communicates with the outside world. Our factory is in City H. People from afar can’t go all the way there to check out the goods, but if they don’t, they won’t be able to place the order with peace of mind.”
The young lady was still unmoved. “Then you can take the products to their factories. Isn’t this how many people run their businesses? Why can’t you guys do it?”
Yu Bing was very dejected. From the looks of it, Director Wu must be from a wealthy family and didn’t know that the competition outside was so intense, nor did she know that if one didn’t work hard, one wouldn’t even be able to eat one’s fill.
If they didn’t think of a creative way to sell their products and used the traditional method, how could a food factory in the village compare to those large state-owned factories in the city that already had established brands and had already established deep connections with various large organizations? If they had not done something out of the box, the food factory’s orders might not have even expanded out of the county city yet!
