Chapter 94 Visit Dixin
"Hu Zi's wood carving skills are almost up to Uncle San!" Dong Leyong whispered enviously beside him.
Although Dong Leyong has already started his career, he is not good at wood carving, and he is only at the level of wood carving apprenticeship and not fully carving skills, but only knows a little relief technique.
This is not because Zhang Yingjie hides private money and refuses to hand over them. It is because of his profound wood carving skills. Many people immerse themselves in it all their lives and only learn one of the small items.
It's just that there is not enough talent!
Dong Leyong is a person with insufficient talent. He can learn mortise and tenon structure, learn to create methods, calculate how to cut materials, and can also make up for it by hard work.
However, wood carving is not good! Wood carving skills are very talented, and it is not something that can be compensated by hard work. That touch of spirituality cannot be compensated by sweating.
"Mr. Zhang, it's great! The carving is amazing, and the design is even more exciting!
Simple lines are combined to form a wonderful piece of handle. I don’t know how to describe this wood carved hand-held piece, but it’s just a love from the bottom of my heart! Liang Shaoxi couldn’t put it down and played with the hand-held piece that Zhang Junping had just made. “Mr. Zhang, ask, “I’m willing to give up this hand-held piece?”
When Liang Shaoxi spoke, he unconsciously used the title of honor.
Experts can tell if there is any wood carving skills displayed by Zhang Junping conquered Liang Shaoxi.
To see how a traditional carpenter craftsmanship is, wood carving technology is the most intuitive display.
Traditional furniture cannot be separated from wood carving skills, and the processing and production of mortise and tenon structures have application skills left by predecessors, just follow the script and read the details. The only thing to pay attention to is the degree of precision.
However, the degree of precision has little to do with talent, so the only word "attention".
To say two more words, it is "familiar".
"Mr. Liang is so polite! This handheld piece uses your material!
If you like it, I will lend flowers to Buddha and give it to Mr. Liang! As long as Mr. Liang doesn’t dislike me for being rough-hearted!" Zhang Junping said with a modest smile.
He can make seven or eight such hand-held pieces a day, which is not very difficult. To put it bluntly, it is openwork.
Through openwork technology, abstract hand-held pieces composed of lines are actually crafted, which is actually crafted.
Liang Shaoxi also understood, so he praised the combination of lines just now, rather than the openwork technique.
There is nothing to praise for openwork technology. It is better to exaggerate Junping's final scratching and grinding technology than to praise openwork.
Of course, this is the opinion of an insider. After reading it, the outsider will definitely see it.
So, an expert or an outsider can be exposed in just one sentence.
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it! If I dislike this kind of wonderful idea and this skill, I will be struck by lightning!
Mr. Zhang, and you all, it’s noon soon. Let’s go to the town for a snack first. After dinner, we will invite you to the workshop to visit and guide us!" Liang Shaoxi became enthusiastic.
While talking, he picked up the phone and arranged for people to arrive at the car.
Dixin Furniture Factory is located in Houjie Town, Dongguan, adjacent to Humen, and is an industrial center in the Pearl River Delta.
In the past 1985, it was listed as an industrial satellite town in the Pearl River Delta by GD Province.
Although it is just a town, its economic development is even more developed than Yingqiu County.
The group came to Houjie Town, a hotel with a small door curtain.
The meal was simple and hearty.
The lunch is so contradictory.
To put it simply, it is really simple. There is no wine. After the dishes are served, they said a few simple polite words and everyone started to eat.
It is so rich, with more than ten dishes on a table, including sauce chicken and bacon, pineapple belly, chicken duck and fish meat.
After having a simple and hearty lunch, the group took a bus back to Dixin Furniture Factory.
After the Dixin Furniture Factory settled in Houjie Town, it soon ushered in a new peak of development, and it can be said that it made a fortune.
The success of Dixin Furniture Factory has led many Hong Kong-funded furniture factories to settle in Houjie Town, and has also led to the development of a large number of local furniture factories.
Although it has not yet reached the scale of the furniture capital of later generations, it has already begun to show signs, and there are dozens of furniture companies of all sizes.
These furniture factories all have a characteristic, which is not very eye-catching. From the outside, they look dilapidated. There are some furniture factories, with only a few wood sheds and one roof, which can barely block the rain.
Dixin Furniture Factory is better, with barely a few rows of bungalows that can shelter from wind and rain.
The production conditions are worse than those of Jinhe Furniture Factory.
But it is such a furniture factory that has driven the development of the entire furniture industry in Guangdong.
On the way, Zhang Junping discovered that Houjie Town was no longer limited to a furniture factory at this time.
There are already relatively visionary and insightful Hong Kong businessmen who come to invest in hardware materials factories, specializing in the production of hardware materials needed by furniture factories.
There are even several timber factories.
...
"Mr. Zhang, this is our board processing workshop!" Liang Shaoxi personally led everyone to visit the workshop.
In the board processing workshop, there is nothing to do with it, just processing the log into wooden boards.
Because this process is very noisy and the sawdust is very polluted, it is in a workshop alone.
It is said to be a workshop, but in the eyes of Dong Yaozong and his group, it is just a larger cowshed.
It is air-ventilated everywhere, and the floor is also mud. Not to mention cement floor, even bricks are not willing to be laid.
Of course, this is what Dong Yaozong and others think. Zhang Junping and Zhang Yingjie can understand this workshop that is breathable everywhere.
The first step of rough processing is the decomposition of logs. Regardless of north and south, most furniture factories have such workshops.
Jinhe Furniture Factory is an exception. Zhang Junping's ancestors left such a large yard, so many rooms and warehouses, so they don't need to be used for nothing.
There was nothing to see in the unblocking workshop, so I passed by the big area and then came to another workshop.
This workshop is much better than the one just now, and at least it will no longer leak air.
More than a dozen chainsaws are roaring.
This workshop is a primary processing workshop. The wooden boards are processed into wooden squares according to the drawings, and then the wooden squares are processed into the required sizes for furniture parts, and then mortise and chisel.
Then transport it to another workshop for assembly, polishing and painting.
This set of processes is what Zhang Junping mentioned before to Zhang Yingjie, and is produced in assembly line.
Each worker is responsible for processing one component and then assembling it.
As a new type of furniture, Dixin Furniture Factory advocates the industrialization of furniture. Although it also uses mortise and tenon structures, it still uses metal furniture accessories for assembly.
Zhang Junping and his group just watched, listened, and did not express their opinions.
There is nothing new to them along the way. Even Zhang Junping has already proposed the assembly line production and is ready to implement it.
Feeling somewhat disappointed.
It was not until I came to the workshop where the wooden vase was covered, that everyone felt that the trip was worth it and opened their eyes.
Chapter completed!
