June 1st was the International Children's Day. Xu Dong played hard with the Coco sisters for a whole day, and bought several sets of beautiful clothes by the way.
Xu's mother didn't nag her anymore this time. After all, her younger son had just signed a "big deal" and got back 100,000 yuan in just the withdrawal. The family's financial pressure had greatly improved.
On the second day of Children's Day, Xu Dong once again boarded the high-speed train to Yanjing. This time he had money and booked a business class ticket.
After arriving in Yanjing, Xu Dong paid the full amount of the house in the courtyard immediately. The agency was very efficient and completed the transfer procedures the next day.
As for the new real estate certificate, you still need to wait for about a week.
But Xu Dong was not idle either.
Although the courtyard is well maintained, there are still many areas that need to be improved before it is the "apocalyptic" base camp in his mind.
I contacted a small local home decoration company, and Xu Dong was ready to contract all the modification projects to this company.
The reason why I chose this unknown small company is mainly because they have their own decoration team, which makes communication easier.
In addition, Xu Dong also means to be low-key, and small companies do not attract much attention.
These days, with the decline of the real estate industry, the competition pressure in the home decoration industry is very strong and the involution is serious.
Faced with this huge order that fell from the sky, Mr. Sun of "Dafa Decoration" took it very seriously and even personally led a team to follow Xu Dong to the courtyard.
The group first took a general tour of the courtyard, which took almost half an hour.
Coming out of the basement, Mr. Sun couldn't help but said with envy: "Mr. Xu, you spent a lot of money on such a big basement, right?"
"A total of 100 million. These two basement floors account for a lot. One floor is probably worth 20 million." Xu Dong replied with a smile.
"In Yanjing, such a large basement is really rare." Mr. Sun complimented. You must know that land is very expensive in the capital. Although the basement does not have good lighting, it is also a scarce resource.
"It was this basement that I was interested in..."
After speaking politely, Xu Dong began to tell all about the transformation plan he had been thinking about for a long time.
"First of all, I will clear out everything in the basement and then transform it into a warehouse."
Mr. Sun was a little confused. Why would he need such a big warehouse when he was just living at home?
But who would let him be God? He could only nod his head and said:
“This is no problem, there aren’t many things in it and it can be cleaned up in a day or two.
But Mr. Xu, I wonder what kind of warehouse you want to transform into?"
"It's similar to a logistics warehouse with shelves. I'll send you pictures later and you can just build it accordingly."
Xu Dong himself is an employee of a logistics company and is most familiar with this kind of logistics warehouse, which has a very high utilization rate of space.
"No problem, the shelf specifications..."
"Please use heavy-duty shelves for me. The quality must be guaranteed. Price is not an issue." Xu Dong said with a big wave of his hand.
"I understand." Mr. Sun said happily, he could finally see that the person in front of him was a rich man.
Xu Dong continued to state the request: "Also, I want to enclose the entire yard, use a steel structure as the main frame, and add glass and skylights on top."
The reason for this design is mainly because after the severe drought, sandstorms have become more and more frequent, and families with old and young children have to consider their health.
"By the way, the glass is made of tempered glass, which must be strong enough to withstand people, and people must be able to stand on it."
"This is no problem. Our company has done similar projects before." Mr. Sun nodded.
Next, Xu Dong pointed to the roof of the courtyard and demanded: "Replace all the tiles on the roof with tiles that can generate solar power."
"Mr. Xu, are you talking about Hanergy's Hantile?" Mr. Sun confirmed.
"Yes, that's it." Xu Dong nodded and asked, "Can you do it?"
"Yes, Hanergy will definitely send technical instructors. We only need to be responsible for the construction." Mr. Sun agreed quickly, fearing that the duck would fly away.
"It's no problem."
Later, Xu Dong led everyone into the concierge, "Install a large water tank here for me, which can be filled with at least 20 tons of water."
"This is very simple. Just customize a stainless steel water tank according to the size of the room. You just need to temporarily remove the roof when installing it," Mr. Sun replied.
"You can just do whatever you want, I only want to see the results." Xu Dong waved his hand.
Mr. Sun quickly added: "Don't worry, we promise to restore the house to its original condition."
Xu Dong pursed his dry lips and finally concluded: "These are the general modification plans. Do you have any questions to ask?"
"Mr. Xu, don't you need to modify the interior of the house? We have a variety of classic design styles to choose from." Mr. Sun asked cautiously.
In most cases, the interior decoration of the house is their main business and the bulk of their profits, such as flooring, painting, kitchen and bathroom, etc. There is a lot of room for manipulation.
"I'm in a hurry, so I'll leave it like that for now. I'll come back to you next time I want to change it."
Generally, after the decoration of a new house is completed, it needs to be left idle for at least a few months to remove formaldehyde. Xu Dong does not want to waste this time.
Although he was a little reluctant, Mr. Sun couldn't make Xu Dong change his mind. He could only nod and said: "Okay, I will make the budget and renderings here. When will it be convenient for you to sign the contract?"
"I will go directly to your company tomorrow morning. Remember, don't save me any money. Use the best materials for me." Xu Dong reminded.
"I understand, there is absolutely no problem with the quality."
…
Early the next morning, Xu Dong came to the "Dafa Decoration" company as scheduled, and the other party had already prepared the project renderings and budget overnight.
Mr. Sun handed over the contract anxiously, "Mr. Xu, this is a sample contract. You can take a look at it first and we will change it if you are not satisfied with it."
Xu Dong didn't talk nonsense. He picked up the contract and read it, sometimes nodding and sometimes frowning. Mr. Sun's heart felt like a roller coaster.
"Mr. Sun, I have no objection to the project budget." Xu Dong put down the contract and said.
He knew there was moisture in it, but he didn't care about the cost.
Upon hearing these words, Mr. Sun suddenly felt relieved.
"Tsk tsk, you are indeed a big business owner. You can earn at least 300,000 yuan from this order."
Xu Dong then changed the subject: "But..."
"But what?" Mr. Sun's expression changed drastically.
"I hope the construction period can be shortened. Half a month is too long." Xu Dong tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
"Dong...dong...dong..."
Mr. Sun was puzzled: "But our company only has seven or eight decoration workers in total. Besides, the space in the courtyard is limited, and we can't do it even if there are too many people."
"I can pay overtime and pay an extra 10,000 yuan for each day the construction period is advanced. You can find a few more temporary workers and divide them into two shifts. This shouldn't be a problem, right?" Xu Dong suggested.
Mr. Sun quickly agreed. As long as he was willing to add money, he could talk about anything.
In this way, after some discussions, Xu Dong couldn't wait to sign the contract and paid 30% of the project price in advance.
Before leaving...
Mr. Sun patted his chest and promised that the completion date would never exceed June 10th.
