Now that a promise has been made to employees, the subsequent job assessment and adjustments will be a big move.
This became Shui Qing's main task in the next stage.
If we consider that the weather is getting colder, the music cafe will close soon.
Then, I'm afraid the people from the music cafe will have to be placed to work in the restaurant, so that we can kill two birds with one stone.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu believes that there is really no need to recruit and train new employees.
It is really not cost-effective to bring in dozens of people.
There is actually no need to rush the opening of the restaurant, it is better to postpone it until later.
As for next year, let’s talk about it then.
In this way, Hong Yanwu's mind was free again.
So his thoughts suddenly shifted to "should he set up his own ancient construction team?"
Speaking of this matter, he had actually been thinking about it for a long time, and the idea did not come out of nowhere.
Because after renovating the old house, he was completely convinced by the skills of the skilled craftsmen led by Mr. Shan.
He is engaged in real estate, so it’s not like he has never come into contact with Gu Jian Bank.
To be honest, in his previous life, he knew people who really made their fortunes from ancient buildings.
Almost all the focus is on cutting corners and cheating, but there is not much real ability.
Compared with these old craftsmen, the difference is not just a little bit worse, but a huge difference.
This made him feel worried.
That is after the 1990s.
When Mr. Shan gets old and these old craftsmen can no longer work, will anyone be able to repair his ancestral house as it was?
He is not unfounded.
Don't forget, even if Mr. Shan is here, these old craftsmen are here.
Wasn't the small stone western-style building in the Hong family's old house not completed due to lack of building materials and difficulties in craftsmanship?
Later, because Mr. Shan wanted to publish a book, the matter was even further delayed.
Of course, Mr. Shan did not give up his choice.
The old gentleman specifically promised him that his daughter Shan Xiangyun, who works on the Forbidden City construction team, would continue to be responsible for this matter.
However, the actual situation does not allow it.
Because Shan Xiangyun also has to go to work.
There are actually quite a lot of things going on in the Forbidden City. People in this palace and that palace have to work overtime often.
When things got busy this time, people naturally couldn't take care of him.
Moreover, after the Hong family's old house is renovated, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine once the house is moved there.
If you think about it, you will know that it is inevitable that it will be damaged due to exposure to wind and sun.
Therefore, every year after the beginning of summer, the house must be repaired.
The roof must be plastered, plastered, bricks laid and tiles repaired, and the cracks in the walls must be repaired.
And the Hong family's house is indeed unusual, it has a big house door.
Not to mention the "golden silk nan" pavilions, they are all in the style of double eaves resting on the top of the mountain and single eaves resting on the top of the mountain.
It's really impossible for ordinary people to do it, so professionals have to do it, which adds a lot of trouble to Shan Xiangyun.
If you think about it this way, how can she find time to be busy with Shitou Xiaolou?
In fact, although she always kept it in mind.
But after a few years, 70% of the plan was planned.
I don’t know how long we will have to wait until the actual construction begins.
Think about it, under such circumstances, can Hong Yanwu's worries not become worse?
So, in fact, he had thought about setting up an ancient construction team of his own a long time ago.
Because in this way, he can not only meet his own needs, but also contract projects from outside. How good is it?
This industry in particular is thriving.
In addition to the private housing business related to courtyard houses, we can also take on projects such as park expansion and cultural relic protection.
The development prospects are very bright.
It's just that if we wanted to establish an ancient construction team at that time, we faced various difficulties, which were somewhat unrealistic.
Don’t forget, reform and opening up takes time and a process.
First of all, the policy is just one level, far from allowing private companies to start companies.
Hong Yanwu once specifically asked Song Guofu about this matter.
But the reply I got was, "A self-employed person is a self-employed person and does not have the qualifications of a legal person."
How can you hire people if you can't open a company?
Without a formal operating carrier recognized by law, how can you sign contracts and undertake projects?
Moreover, if Hong Yanwu wants to get into this business, his ultimate goal is not to make money.
He really needs it, technology is far more important than profit.
So he needs real experts like Mr. Shan or his daughter to help steer the ship.
But what kind of ideology do people these days have?
Earning some extra money is considered deviant and out of the ordinary.
Let alone Mr. Shan and his daughter, they are just old craftsmen.
It really makes people abandon their full-time jobs and go into the sea, but few people are willing to take this step.
The most important thing is, what kind of family is a single family?
We value spiritual civilization far more than material wealth.
For Gu CCB, people have lofty ideals and career pursuits.
That is to protect the cultural heritage of our ancestors for all Chinese descendants.
Facing such people, Hong Yanwu felt that he was extremely vulgar and felt quite ashamed of himself.
He believed that even if he paid a lot of money to invite someone, he would never be tempted for personal gain.
So, he kept thinking about this matter and was too embarrassed to open his mouth, so he kept putting it off.
What he is worried about is that in a few years, the country will allow private companies to exist.
He is close to Mr. Shan and his daughter. If we mention this matter again, the success rate may be higher.
But now, the situation is different again, which really forces Hong Yanwu to implement this idea in advance.
It's amazing that the house and money in his hands are getting more and more, and they have become a burden.
Let’s talk about the house first.
Don’t forget, what Hong Yanwu got back through the policy was not only the Hong family’s old house, but also his mother’s family’s house.
As for Wanyan's "Half Acre Garden", it is one of the most famous courtyards in the capital.
According to Wang Yunlin, it is a masterpiece designed by Li Yu, a garden architect in the early Qing Dynasty.
In the garden, there are mountains built with rocks, water is diverted into marshes, and there are terraces and curved rooms, which are both secluded and spacious.
The structure is tortuous, the furnishings are quaint, rich yet bookish, and extremely elegant.
Moreover, the Wanyan family is good at acting and rich.
After several generations, the family did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and built a stage that was no less styled than a royal palace.
The caisson and the colorful paintings are even more ingenious and beautiful.
Tan Xinpei, Yang Xiaolou, Mei Lanfang, and countless famous actors from the opera house have all sung on it.
Needless to say, a mansion like this must be renovated by a true expert.
Otherwise, let alone recreating the beautiful scenery of the past, I am afraid it will be ruined.
Especially in recent years, since the army's tertiary industry factory withdrew from "Half Acre Garden", no one has lived there anymore.
Nowadays, weeds are overgrown, snakes and rats are rampant, and birds are building their nests.
Some houses have even begun to leak.
If it is not renovated and maintained as soon as possible, it may become a dilapidated house and a scene like a Chinese studio.
In addition to this, there are also properties that Hong Yanwu later purchased one after another.
Because this boy roughly understood the differences and characteristics of the styles and grades of residences from Mr. Shan.
When buying a house, he attaches great importance to location and specializes in properties located in the core areas of Beijing, with detached houses as his favorite.
So he is very good at buying a house.
His eyes are very sharp, and he will never miss it if he comes across a courtyard with a history.
Not to mention anything else, he used the two-entry courtyard of "Guangming Hutong" as the "Renhe Car Factory".
It was because he took a fancy to the "Golden Pillar Gate" and knew that it was not a place for ordinary people to live, that he was willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
Later, he specifically checked it.
As expected, it turned out to be a villa belonging to Ronglu's uncle Kui Jun, and it was eventually given to Ronglu for him to raise his wife.
And he bought a small side courtyard in "Goldfish Alley".
Although it looks inconspicuous, it is just a three-sided courtyard.
But his father was able to make a very firm judgment, saying that the entire Jinyu Alley belonged to Na Tong in the past, and this house was undoubtedly part of "that garden".
In addition, he also bought a yard on Qianhai West Street.
Although it is just a "Ruyi Gate", it is also full of miscellaneous people, making it a large courtyard.
But Mr. Shan heard that there was a garden inside and there were stone carvings and calligraphy in many places, so he made a special trip there.
After reading it, he went back to check the information, and finally told him that this place was once the dowry of Yongxuan, the eleventh son of Qianlong, and the Fucha family of Zhengfu Jin Dynasty.
Moreover, it later changed hands, and Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Liangjiang who had not yet prospered, lived here.
Think about it, compared with these houses that can be regarded as "district-level cultural protection units", even the facade houses in Nanluogu Lane and the "Qingyun Building" in Shichahai are nothing.
It must not be treated lightly, right?
But then again, if all these houses are put together and they need to be renovated, how big will the amount of work be?
Not having your own ancient construction team is simply an unrealistic wish.
After talking about the house, we have to talk about money.
This thing is good, but having more of the same thing is embarrassing.
Just because of the "storm".
Over the past year, Hong Yanwu has been cautious and cautious.
Not only has he almost given up on buying a house, but he also deliberately avoids buying antiques and paintings for fear of causing trouble.
The only things I still dare to touch are the handicrafts from the jade factory, the ivory carving factory, the material factory, and the jade objects sold in the Friendship Store.
However, you should also be low-key when buying these things.
He didn't dare to be like in the past when he saw good things, and he didn't dare to buy them in bulk.
So in order to get rid of as much money as possible, he basically bought high-quality products during this period.
Get one or two items at a time, no more than three, and get the best and most expensive ones.
But buying like this can’t keep up with the speed of making money.
Yes, looking at it all the time, the money is a bit "silty".
Now, he probably has 16.7 million in cash on hand.
I neither dare to deposit them in the bank nor leave them anywhere, so I can only scatter them and hide them in my old house.
You also have to worry about being bitten by a mouse, which is really a headache.
Of course, now that the limelight has passed, you can still buy something in a big way.
It’s just because of his extensive shopping over the years, coupled with the increase in foreign trade fairs, and the rapid increase in the number of Japanese, Hong Kong people, and overseas Chinese coming to Beijing.
The number of good things in the capital is really decreasing rapidly, even raising the prices.
He must have thrown the money with his eyes closed, he really felt panicked at the loss.
So, looking at it this way, other than going out of town to spend money to buy things, the only other solution is to set up an ancient construction team and spend the money on building houses.
Overall, of course, he personally prefers the ancient construction team.
Because you need a place to put the things you buy, so you also need a house.
But if the house is not repaired, we cannot afford the delay, and it will collapse.
Once the house collapses, the title deed will be invalidated.
What's more, he will continue to buy houses in the future.
If you delay it any longer, what's wrong with this?
At the same time, there is no requirement for funds to buy things, but the amount of funds required for running an ancient construction team is relatively large.
It's just right given his current conditions.
If he disposes of the more than one million yuan, it might not be so convenient to do it later.
Besides, there is nothing more cost-effective than cultivating some talents for ancient architecture while the old craftsmen are still alive and capable.
If he could really pass on the craftsmanship of the old masters and bring out successors, he would not have to worry about the future.
But after passing through this village without this shop, does he regret it?
In short, time waits for no one, the sooner the better.
In this way, after some thinking and weighing, Hong Yanwu finally decided to do this.
Despite the policy restrictions, there have been no changes so far.
But the method was devised by humans, and a living person would never die of suffocating his urine.
Regarding the company's license, Hong Yanwu thought of a temporary solution.
I plan to borrow Zhaoqing's name first and base myself under Longkou Village.
In this way, it can be regarded as a formal title.
You can recruit talents, purchase, and hoard materials as much as you can.
Although a village-run enterprise is somewhat interesting, it is difficult to use such a company name to undertake projects.
But fortunately, he doesn't care at all. The actual goal has been reduced to satisfying his own needs, and he no longer expects this ancient construction team to make money for him.
Anyway, he is destined to continue hoarding houses in the future, and he will put these houses to great use.
As long as these houses are beautifully repaired, then the money spent is equivalent to making money, and it is not unfair at all.
What's more, if you don't make money, you can avoid disputes. This kind of loss-making business will never attract anyone's envy.
No one cares about you, which is also a good thing.
However, licenses are easy to obtain, but talents are hard to find.
For Shan's family, it's all about luck.
Hong Yanwu's hope of success can only be placed on deceiving the Shan family's father and daughter in the name of not making profits, protecting traditional craftsmanship of ancient buildings, and cultivating successors.
To be honest, even if someone agrees to this.
He didn't expect Shan Xiangyun to really quit his job at the Forbidden City and devote himself to helping him run this business.
The most I thought about was that Shan Xiangyun was willing to take on this job concurrently, and that Mr. Shan would help him as a consultant.
Then the father and daughter helped him introduce several old masters who were willing to make extra money.
Hire a few full-time apprentices and do the basic repair work.
Anyway, as long as you can start working on it, it’s better to have such a framework than nothing. Let’s try to develop slowly.
I didn't expect that hey, I was really lucky to make this trip.
What he gained was much more than he expected at the beginning, and his dream came true.
