"Aren't craftsmen also the second party entrusted by others?" Jian Anran immediately retorted.
After thinking about it carefully with a frown, Mi Yingying thought it made sense and nodded in agreement.
"Do you have any good ideas?" she asked suddenly.
Jian Anran was confused: "What?"
"Sure enough, you still have to start a business and be your own boss to avoid being squeezed." Mi Yingying turned around, opened the browser, and entered on Baidu's page: [Is there any way to start a business with zero capital]
The entire article is full of professional terms that laymen like them cannot understand. Mi Yingying only dug out a few familiar words in one paragraph of the article: White wolf with empty gloves.
Mi Yingying: Thank you for the invitation, I appreciate it.
Mr. Li has not yet been able to go to the ground freely, and the original landlord does not seem to be relenting. The project has stalled, and their office once again ushered in an anxious period of having nothing to do.
"Can I really graduate if I can't get the project..." Mi Yingying began to have doubts.
Old renovation...Jian Anran began to fall into deep thought. She had seen many cases of old house renovation before, and the one closest to them and almost the most famous was the old shipyard renovation project on the Huangpu River in the magical city.
It's just that the scale of this project is relatively large, and apart from the direction, it doesn't seem to have much reference value for their project.
I have also seen a home renovation program where the design team renovated a shop in an old street in Guangshi, but the other party almost demolished the existing one, leaving only an empty shell. This also went against the landlord's wishes. Renovation of an old house... Her brain was running at high speed, frantically retrieving her past memories, trying to recall whether she had seen similar cases for reference——
For example, in a certain semester, their course was about super high-rise buildings, and the teacher immediately said: "I have never been exposed to super high-rise buildings, but as long as you can convince me with actual completed projects, then you can teach me in the course
Realize your imagination."
The current original landlord is this person who has no experience in architectural design. Their studio’s top priority is to find practical cases that suit their needs to convince them.
After sitting in the office and thinking for a whole day, the only conclusion Jian Anran came to was——
No conclusion.
But she suddenly understood Wang Yangming very well. In order to explore the truth of "studying things to achieve knowledge", Wang Yangming sat in the bamboo forest and imagined for seven days and seven nights, and finally ended up with a headache.
Thinking too much will give you a headache. Jian Anran closed her eyes and rubbed her temples, got up from the office chair, stood in front of the window and looked into the distance.
She opened her phone in boredom, and clicked on her circle of friends. Either her friends were updating her travel updates, or the WeChat businesses she had added were advertising. She scrolled down a few posts, and Su Yiqi's circle of friends suddenly came into view.
The photo is a cup of brewed coffee, and Su Yiqi captioned it: [Winter special drinks are on sale! Welcome to the store to taste!! [Love]]
The background of the coffee is the vague industrial "absolute poverty" style decoration of Su Yiqi's store, with red bricks, wooden floors and an iron bar.
Wait! Su Yiqi’s coffee shop is located near an undeveloped urban village. The appearance of the shop is unprepossessing, and it looks quite old.
Suddenly she felt a little regretful that she didn't pay more attention when she was working part-time before. Without much hesitation, Jian Anran immediately clicked on Su Yiqi's profile picture and pressed "send message"——
【Jane: Is the store manager free? Can I go to the store now?】
The other party responded quickly:
[Su Yiqi: Yes, welcome! [Celebration]]
Immediately turning back to her seat, Jian Anran picked up her coat in one hand and her mobile phone in the other, then walked out the door.
"Where are An Ran going?" Mi Yingying took off her headphones and asked curiously.
"Afternoon tea," Jian Anran replied, "Sister, are you coming with us?"
"What to drink?" Mi Yingying asked.
"Coffee."
Hearing her answer, Mi Yingying shook her head instantly, "No way, I've been suffering from insomnia recently and don't dare to drink too much caffeine."
After saying goodbye to Mi Yingying, Jian Anran immediately took the elevator downstairs. The coffee shop was just one subway stop away from the school, and it didn't take much time on the way.
"Dingling bell——" When he pushed the door open, the wind chime on the door instantly caught Su Yiqi's attention.
Looking back at the direction of the door, Su Yiqi immediately greeted: "Were you nearby just now? So soon?"
"Absolutely," Jian Anran casually put her phone on the bar, "The school is not far from here."
Su Yiqi suddenly realized, "I've forgotten about this, today is a working day."
"Sit down first and try the special winter drink?"
Jian Anran said "hmm" and then found a place on the bar closest to Su Yiqi to sit down.
After exchanging a few words with Su Yiqi, Jian Anran did not forget her original intention of coming here, and raised her head to observe Su Yiqi's small shop.
Coming in from the narrow facade, there are two floors inside. The second floor is only half the area of the first floor. Above the coffee operation area and the bar at the entrance is a two-story building with a retro chandelier hanging high on the roof.
Illuminate the first and second floors simultaneously.
There is a small door in the deepest part of the store. Jian Anran went in before when she was working part-time. The space behind it is not big. There is only a small warehouse and a bathroom. The area is far smaller than their current project in the old city.
"Store manager, can I ask you a question?" Jian Anran suddenly said.
The noisy sound of the coffee machine stopped suddenly. Su Yiqi turned around a little warily, but then he smiled and asked: "What?"
"When you came here to open a store, was this what the store looked like?"
The other party seemed to be relieved suddenly, "So this is what you wanted to ask."
"It's definitely not like this. Look at this whole street. The decoration of my shop is almost out of tune with the others."
Su Yiqi's store is still some distance away from the subway station at the intersection. Jian Anran walked in and passed other stores along the road. Most of the operators were older people. The stores were old and they also dealt in traditional industries such as clothing, hardware, fruits and vegetables.
.
To be honest, when she came to apply for the job on the first day, she was very curious whether Su Yiqi's store could really attract customers in a place like this?
"Then may I take the liberty to ask you about the general situation of the store at that time and what you did to deal with it?" Jian Anran asked cautiously.
After all, she has never contacted the other party since the end, and she is almost a stranger. When Jian Anran came, she was worried about whether the other party could help happily.
"What's so presumptuous about this?" Su Yiqi disagreed, "Don't be too polite. I still have the drawings the designer gave me on my phone. I'll send them to you once the cup is finished."
"Thank you, store manager."
"Actually..." Su Yiqi paused, looking a little hesitant, "If you don't come today, I may contact you in a few days."
