The two walked out of the residential building, and Li Mu asked: "Nansun, isn't this your aunt's house? I remember that you and Zhang Anren both studied design. Why did you leave the near for the distant and let Wang Yongzheng take charge?"
Jiang Nansun said: "My aunt has lived in Germany all year round. She is friends with Wang Yongzheng's mother and is familiar with Wang Yongzheng."
Speaking of what came to mind, I felt a little depressed: "Actually, Zhang Anren was responsible for the design and decoration of the house. He spent a lot of effort to design the plan."
"Wang Yongzheng intervened and criticized Zhang Anren's design for being old-fashioned. He drew a sketch on a napkin and showed it to his aunt. I don't know what my aunt was thinking. She actually said that Wang Yongzheng's design was better and left the matter to him.
.”
"Zhang Anren has worked hard for several days, but it's still not as good as what Wang Yongzheng drew on the toilet paper." He said this in a somewhat depressed tone.
Although some time had passed since the incident, Jiang Nansun still felt angry when he thought about it and did not understand his aunt's choice. He explained the matter in a nonchalant manner and introduced the two people's design plan.
"Jia Ming, which one of these two plans do you think is better? Why did my aunt choose Wang Yongzheng's design?"
Li Mu pondered for a moment and said: "I am an outsider and do not belong to the design industry. From a professional perspective, I cannot evaluate the quality of these two designs. I can only share my views from an outsider's perspective and provide you with some reference."
Jiang Nansun nodded, looking forward to it.
Li Mu said: "First of all, let me be clear. Your aunt has lived in Germany all year round. She will definitely not live in this house. So what is her purpose of decorating this house?"
"Is it to make money? Or is it for feelings? This is very important."
"Next, let's talk about two design plans. Zhang Anren's plan is to transform this house into four and a half sets. The decoration style is practical and there are no bells and whistles."
"The advantages of doing this are obvious: low renovation costs, more rooms, and more rent can be collected; but the disadvantages are also obvious: it is practical enough, but it is not beautiful and has no atmosphere."
"Let's talk about Wang Yongzheng's plan to turn this house into two and a half units, with a complicated style, spacious and beautiful appearance. The advantages of this are obvious, large space, style, and a good living experience; the disadvantages are also obvious, the decoration fee is relatively high, and the charge
The rent you get will be relatively less.”
Jiang Nansun wondered: "According to Wang Yongzheng's design, the check-in experience is obviously better, and the decoration cost is also higher. Why is the rent relatively low?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Miss Jiang, you are obviously out of touch with the masses if you think so."
"What kind of place is Shanghai? It's an international metropolis. Every inch of land is precious, and the rent is ridiculously high. A house can rent for tens of thousands. How can ordinary workers afford it?"
"In order to work nearby, many people have to rent a house nearby and can only choose to rent in a shared apartment. Since they choose to rent in a shared apartment, the most important thing is the rent. In fact, the conditions for moving in are not very high. Many people actually need a rest.
, just a place to sleep.”
"Zhang Anren's design is practical, not fancy, and has a variety of functions, which perfectly meets the requirements of these migrant workers. When shared, the rent for a single room is relatively low. It is very popular in the market and there is no shortage of tenants."
"Wang Yongzheng's plan seems to have a better occupancy experience, but if the income of the entire house reaches Zhang Anren's level, the rent of each room will almost double."
"Migrant workers are the most sensitive to rent. Sharing is to save money. The rent is doubled. They can rent a small apartment nearby, so why should they share it with others."
Jiang Nansun wondered: "Wang Yongzheng's design style is quite good. People who are not short of money and not sensitive to rent should like it."
Li Mu said: "People who are not short of money and have a lot of money rent the entire apartment. Who would choose to share the apartment?"
"People who choose to live in shared apartments are generally price-sensitive and find it difficult to accept such high rents. With this money, they go out to rent a separate small apartment."
"On the whole, this design is a little bit inferior. Migrant workers think they can't afford the rent. If you have money, you don't care about the rent, but you don't want to share it with others."
"If you want to rent it out, rich people should forget about it. In the end, you will still be working as workers. You can only lower the rent, and the overall income will not be as good as Zhang Anren's plan."
"If I evaluate it from my perspective, Zhang Anren's design focuses on profits and is more in line with the national conditions; Wang Yongzheng's plan is more international, which is probably related to the fact that he lives abroad, has just returned to China, and is not familiar with the national conditions."
Jiang Nansun said thoughtfully: "In this way, Zhang Anren's plan is actually better."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. It depends on your aunt's purpose of decorating this house."
"As I said before, it's for money, to charge more rent; or for sentiment, to make the house more stylish."
Jiang Nansun said: "My aunt lives abroad all year round. After the house is renovated, she rents it out. Since she doesn't live in it herself, she must choose one with high rental income."
"Then why did she choose Wang Yongzheng's plan instead of Zhang Anren's?"
Li Mu looked at her and smiled: "Does your aunt admire Zhang Anren or Wang Yongzheng?"
Jiang Nansun said without hesitation: "Of course it's Wang Yongzheng. My aunt often praises him in front of me. She only spoke a few words to Zhang Anren, and even her aunt only took a few glances at the plan he worked so hard to design before choosing Wang Yongzheng's.
.”
Speaking of this, she said in disbelief: "Is it possible that I just admire Wang Yongzheng and choose Wang Yongzheng regardless of the pros and cons of the two designs? My aunt is usually very strict, she is not such a person!"
Li Mu said: "You wouldn't do this under normal circumstances, but not necessarily under special circumstances."
Looking at Jiang Nansun, who was still confused, Li Mu pointed out the connection: "You have never thought about whether your aunt, like your father, despises Zhang Anren, but admires Wang Yongzheng, wants to bring you two together, and deliberately uses this method
, support one and step on the other to express attitude."
Jiang Nansun groaned, first in disbelief, and finally thought of the last time he met his aunt, when she introduced herself to Wang Yongzheng, and regretted that she actually had a boyfriend.
Read the book
I had some guesses at that time, but I wasn't sure. Now that I think about it, I still don't understand what my aunt was thinking.
She was disappointed and angry at the same time: "How could my aunt do this? She can't see that Zhang Anren is so good. What's so good about Wang Yongzheng, a playboy, and she actually..."
Then he looked at Li Mu: "Jia Ming, why do you think my aunt did this?"
Li Mu advised: "Nansun, don't react so much. Maybe I understand it wrong. Your aunt has no other meaning. She really just thinks Wang Yongzheng's design is better."
Jiang Nansun said: "You don't need to comfort me, I'm not stupid."
Li Mu said: "I'm not trying to comfort you. It's possible. Your aunt has lived in Germany all year round, and Wang Yongzheng also lives in Germany. With the same living environment and atmosphere, their aesthetics may be more similar."
"With the rapid development of China in recent years, it is possible for your aunt to choose a plan that is more in line with her aesthetics without understanding the national conditions."
"Perhaps we are overthinking it."
Jiang Nansun sighed, looking a little disappointed. He didn't know what was wrong with Zhang Anren. So many people didn't like him, and his heart became more and more dark.
