King of Industry

  Chapter 422 I bought furniture and found a treasure

  Following Director Wang upstairs, just as he opened the door of the office, Mu Aijun's loud voice came from inside.

   "Haha, I really mean Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, old horse, is this the truth?"

   Ma Jian next to him also smiled and said: "Yes, yes, factory director, we are talking about Guoyang here, and he came back, what a coincidence!"

  After Zhao Guoyang sat down behind Director Wang, Director Mu told the latest news he got.

  It turns out that the State-owned Assets Administration Bureau of the Ministry of Finance has already implemented the quota for the upgrading of local state-owned enterprises this year.

  Among them, Hongda Machinery Factory won a place for promotion among thousands of troops because the scooter that had just been launched had a very bright prospect.

  At this moment, Zhang Zhizhong, a high-ranking party official, was not here, but he was called by the Provincial State-owned Assets Management Bureau to report on the recent work situation.

  After listening to Director Mu's introduction, Zhao Guoyang was also in a good mood.

  After all, if the administrative level of Hongda Machinery Factory can really be raised to a higher level, it will be very helpful for the implementation of their future plans.

   You must know that the motorcycle industry is not Zhao Guoyang's ultimate goal. His expectations for Hongda Machinery Factory are much higher than this.

  After talking about the factory's upgrade for a while, Zhao Guoyang explained the history of the Yangcheng Auto Show in detail under the inquiry of several leaders.

  When several bigwigs heard Zhao Guoyang's report in person, after winning an order of 600 or 700 units for this exhibition, they all laughed from ear to ear.

   "Haha, let me just say, Guoyang will go out and guarantee success!" Ma Jian happily patted Zhao Guoyang on the shoulder and said.

Mu Aijun showed a hearty smile, took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Guoyang and joked: "Guoyang, you have made new contributions to our factory this time, and it is not in vain for the factory manager to help you with all the house decoration work." I took it down..."

  Hearing this, Wang Youchang also laughed. He turned his head to look at Zhao Guoyang, and said in agreement: "Yes, Guoyang, for the decoration of your house, I really have to thank you, Ma."

   "He asked someone to buy beautiful tiles for you from other places. He said that you young people like it more!"

Ma Jian didn't take the credit, he waved his hand indifferently and said, "Old Wang, although the tiles in Guoyang's house are beautiful, they are not much different in price from the floor of the factory manager and your house. Besides, choose Tiles or floors, I asked you this before..."

  Seeing the pair of "old enemies" bickering again, Mu Aijun couldn't help but shook his head.

"By the way, Guoyang, here is the key to your house. There is nothing else to do here. You can go and have a look first. In the afternoon, go to the street to buy some furniture and move it in. Then you can live in it." Mu Aijun handed it to the house. Zhao Guoyang said with two keys.

   "Uh, factory manager, have you all already lived in?" Zhao Guoyang asked suspiciously.

"yes!"

   Mu Aijun pointed at Zhao Guoyang with a teasing look on his face and said, "Guoyang, now you're in for a treat. If you want something good, just drop by any of our houses."

   "Yes, yes, yes, the factory manager, you are on the right track!" Ma Jian and Wang Youchang clapped their hands and laughed when they heard the words.

   Seeing that Zhao Guoyang was a little embarrassed, Wang Youchang pushed him and said, "Guoyang, you can go if the factory manager gives you a vacation. You have been working hard these days, so you need to take a good rest."

   "Hurry up and buy the furniture, and report the good news to the family!"

   Mu Aijun nodded and said: "That's right, everything in the factory is going on step by step, there is nothing important for now, Guoyang, you can rest at ease."

  Several leaders said so, Zhao Guoyang thought about it, and he agreed bluntly.

  Indeed, the new house has been decorated, and some furniture needs to be added.

  Not to mention other things, at least there must be beds, tables, chairs, etc., as well as bookcases, coffee tables, etc., it is best to buy one or two, so that it looks good.

   Coming out of the factory, Zhao Guoyang drove his own car and went for a walk around the new house.

  Hey, let’s not talk about it, Director Ma Jian really put a lot of effort into this decoration.

  The shiny tiles on the floor are not cheap at first glance, and the walls are also covered with neat wallpaper, which was very fashionable in the 1990s.

   In addition, what satisfied Zhao Guoyang the most was that Factory Director Ma specially installed a large bathtub in the bathroom.

   Soaking in it in winter is a beauty.

   After inspecting the new house for a week, Zhao Guoyang basically knew what furniture and appliances were missing.

  Home appliances are second to none. This furniture must be finished as soon as possible.

  Thinking about this, Zhao Guoyang closed the door and drove straight to the most famous "Haizhou Decoration City" in Ninghai City.

   "Haizhou Decoration City" is in the west of Ninghai City. After Zhao Guoyang drove in, the sharp-eyed shop owner had already seen it.

  In the early 1990s, people who could drive a car must be either rich or expensive.

  Seeing that the young Zhao Guoyang came here by car, the bosses and ladies in the furniture decoration city are of course flocking to him.

   "Boss, what do you want to buy? We have all the furniture in our store, of all grades. Come and have a look, I'm sure it's right!"

   Zhao Guoyang had just parked his car and walked out, when a pretty middle-aged lady greeted her with a smile on her face and said.

  Seeing the enthusiasm of the proprietress, Zhao Guoyang felt unreliable.

  He coughed and said, "I'm just looking around casually, so I won't bother the lady boss to introduce herself..."

   To talk about the proprietress, she is really persistent.

  When Zhao Guoyang walked towards the decoration city, she still followed behind, promoting her "Yuexing Home Store"

"Brother, I really don't lie to you. Our 'Yuexing Home Furnishing Store' is a ten-year-old store. We really have all kinds of furniture. Even if you want to import goods, I can make them for you." get."

  Listening to this eldest sister's tireless sales promotion, Zhao Guoyang scratched his head a little.

  He traveled all the way, and probably looked outside a few shops, but he really didn't find any bright ones.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Guoyang nodded, and said to the old lady: "Well, I'll go with you to have a look, but I have agreed, if there is no furniture that suits my eyes, I will leave man."

   "Hey, boss, don't worry, there is something you like!" The lady boss happily led the way after hearing Zhao Guoyang's promise.

  Following behind the proprietress, watching her somewhat thick waist twist and twist, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, and muttered to himself: Big sister, your waist really can't be twisted like this...

  Although he was a little dissatisfied with the slightly exaggerated walking movements of this elder sister, Zhao Guoyang's eyes lit up when he saw the furniture in her shop.

  Indeed, this eldest sister is not exaggerating. The furniture in her shop is quite complete and the styles are novel enough.

   What's more, there are several sets of furniture here, which makes Zhao Guoyang very satisfied.

   "Hey!" Suddenly, Zhao Guoyang seemed to see something novel, and walked directly to the back.

   "Boss, what kind of furniture do you want to buy? Is it a bed, a cabinet, or something else?" The proprietress followed closely, and greeted Zhao Guoyang enthusiastically from the side.

  Looking at the set of calm and beautiful furniture in front of him, and stroking its hard texture, Zhao Guoyang gradually had a picture in his heart.

  That’s right, this set of furniture in front of you is the legendary mahogany furniture, and it is also a treasure among mahogany furniture—ebony furniture.

  Mahogany furniture usually refers to furniture made of classical mahogany such as rosewood and rosewood. It is a general term for rare hardwood high-quality furniture since the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

   As for the research on mahogany furniture, Zhao Guoyang had a lot of experience before he was reborn, and he also collected some tables and chairs.

   I still remember that shortly after entering the new century, the standard of "Mahogany Product Grade" was officially implemented.

  This standard divides mahogany products into national special grade, first grade, second grade, and unqualified grade, and issues mahogany product grade certificates.

   The set of furniture in front of Zhao Guoyang is black and shiny, and it is easy to tell that its texture is ebony.

  Ebony has the characteristics of non-rot, immortality, and non-moth. It is an excellent material for making high-end small furniture, temple Buddha statues, and handicrafts.

  However, under normal circumstances, ebony has many large and small cracks, which are only suitable for small pieces of handicrafts, but few large pieces of furniture are circulated.

  The value of large ebony furniture, that is very high.

  Based on Zhao Guoyang's preliminary observations, although the workmanship of this set of ebony furniture is slightly flawed, its quality is at least at the national level, and there is even a high possibility that it can be qualified as a special grade.

  Because large-scale ebony furniture is too rare, this aspect must be added points.

  The proprietress at the side saw Zhao Guoyang groaning silently in front of this set of ebony furniture, and couldn't help but secretly delighted.

   Speaking of this set of ebony furniture, the proprietress was cruel when she bought it.

  At that time, the asking price for this set of furniture was 5,500 yuan. This was an out-and-out price in the early 1990s.

  The proprietress also took a fancy to its rarity, and finally gritted her teeth and bought it.

  But after pulling back to his furniture store, he couldn't make a sale for two or three years in a row, which really frustrated the proprietress' confidence.

   What hit her even more was that some ignorant people often offered her outrageous prices of three to five hundred dollars, which almost made her bleed out.

  After experiencing so many setbacks, the proprietress no longer wants to make money on this set of ebony furniture.

   Now she just wants to get rid of this backlog of "high-priced goods" as soon as possible, and exchange for real money is the right way.

  At this time, seeing Zhao Guoyang, a seemingly ignorant young man, seemed to have an idea about this set of furniture, and the proprietress immediately became energetic.

As soon as she rolled her eyes, the proprietress said: "Boss, have you taken a fancy to my set of precious ebony furniture? I'm an honest person, how about this, you make a price, as long as it's not too outrageous, I'll sell it to you!" "

   "Hmm." Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang couldn't help turning around and forgetting the proprietress's glance.

  He really liked this set of ebony furniture, and the price is actually not a problem.

   But looking at the anxious look of the proprietress, it seems that the chance of lowering the price is not small...
