Chapter 300 Renovating the house (4000 words, 9 chapters still owed)
The girl was holding a spoon in her hand and wanted to dig out some rice. Her arms were short and she couldn't reach it, so she became anxious and said, "Mom, mom, I want to eat that sweet rice."
"Shh!" Luo Xiyun put his hand on his lips and shushed, and the girl knew to tell her to keep her voice down, so she stopped talking.
Luo Xiyun then scooped a spoonful of rice pudding for her and put it in a small bowl, and then scooped a large spoonful for Tongtong.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and said: "Brother Qi, to be honest, I have a lot of things to do around me right now. Even if I buy shares, I don't have time to go there and do the work. You can do it yourself."
"Brother Xia, you don't have to come over. You should be busy with your business. I'll go find you when something happens." Yang Tiande said.
He said: "We are a partnership. I can rest assured. We have never gone to school and the knowledge in books is not very clear, but we still understand some general principles. We can't make all the money, and we have to figure out how to make money."
"Just like my store, a policy has been issued recently. The authorities are going to start cracking down. The two streets next to the train station are being reorganized. We have several large entertainment venues in the city, like Sun City and Harem. Imagination is also
Everything has been sorted out, didn’t you notice?”
"My sister has been away a lot, so I'm thinking of closing the business early and changing my career. I'll make a real living and feel at ease."
"One more thing, Brother Xia, you are a nice person. I always feel that your vision is correct. I am a rough guy. I need education but no qualifications. I need ability but no ability. I just dare to mess around and do what I want. I have a lot of money in my hand. Why don't you let me
It's okay for me to lead a group of people to work, but I'm totally confused about how to develop it later, but if you, Brother Xia, work together, how will the company develop in the future? I'll ask you more, you're right."
"But if you don't want to work with me, it's okay to ask you once or twice. I'll ask you every now and then. Even if you're not annoyed, I still can't open my mouth." Yang Tiande's words were quite honest.
Xia Zekai thought for a while and agreed: "Well, Brother Qi said so, so I won't be pretentious. I can invest up to another hundred thousand here. I have other uses for the remaining money, shares, Brother Qi.
Just watch and give it."
In the next ten years, this will be a good industry, but he really doesn't have time to engage in it. If there is an opportunity to invest in it, he will not pretend to be a virgin bitch. He will not refuse a job that can make money.
Besides, the decoration aspect does not conflict with the work he is doing now. Even ten years from now, there will not be any conflict of interest, which is great!
Yang Tiande immediately put down the wine he was carrying, picked up the wine bottle and filled it up. He said, "Brother Xia, you can do whatever you want, I'll do it..."
So Xia Zekai also drank a drink.
Both of them had been drinking today and it was not suitable to discuss the specific issue of share distribution, so they agreed to discuss it another day.
Xia Zekai wouldn't be so stupid as to think that it would be enough to pay a certain amount of money for a certain proportion of the shares.
As Yang Tiande said just now, although he is not involved in direct management, he will make strategic development plans for the company in the later period. This thing directly determines whether the company can make money and how far it can go?
As the saying goes, knowledge is the primary productive force, and he should count his shares to some extent.
Business is no joke, no matter how you distribute it, it is still worth money.
If you act out of emotion, you will definitely not be able to go far, and you may lose the friendship in the end. It is better to put everything on the table and explain it clearly.
After leaving at noon, Yang Tiande took a taxi home directly. He parked the car in the parking space opposite Seat 44, thinking that it would not be too late to drive again tomorrow.
On Xia Zekai's side, his wife Luo Xiyun was driving. He fixed Yatou and Tongtong on the child safety seats. Xia Zekai got into the passenger seat. He said, "Daughter-in-law, I have bought a car since then.
This is the first time I sit in this seat, and I enjoy it today."
"Look what I can do for you..."
She just said a few words and drove forward when she didn't hear Xia Zekai's response.
When I turned my head, I realized that he had fallen asleep. Not long after, a slight snoring sounded in the car.
Tongtong shouted from behind: "Mom, dad is snoring, it's a pig!"
"Tongtong, your butt is itchy again, isn't it?" Luo Xiyun yelled at her directly and said, "Your father is tired. If you keep talking nonsense, I will twist your mouth."
Luo Xiyun's voice immediately frightened Tongtong. She was so aggressive that she didn't dare to say anything. The car became quiet except for Xia Zekai's snoring.
After returning home, Luo Xiyun turned on the air conditioner in the car. She first sent Yatou and Tongtong into the house, and then came down to wake up Xia Zekai.
Xia Zekai opened his eyes drowsily and saw the familiar building in front of him. He wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "We're home, why am I still asleep?"
"Zekai, are you too tired? We are not going anywhere in the afternoon. You can have a good sleep at home." Luo Xiyun advised him.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Zekai stretched out his hands, then yawned and said, "I'm really sleepy, then I'll go to bed."
He didn't even take a shower, took off his coat, and went directly to the second bedroom to fall asleep.
Luo Xiyun was playing games with the girl, Tongtong and the two sisters in the master bedroom.
Afraid of disturbing her husband, she closed the door to the master bedroom to prevent them from going to the second bedroom and waking up their father.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Yatou and Tongtong also felt sleepy and fell asleep.
Luo Xiyun got up and cooked three vegetables and a soup. After finishing her work, she woke the three of them up for dinner.
"Zekai, I'm thinking about going there with the people from Tengda Decoration tomorrow to have a look. What do you think?" Luo Xiyun was holding a bowl and drinking porridge. After blowing off the floating skin on the surface of the bowl, he took two sips along the edge of the bowl.
I asked him for some cooler porridge.
Luo Xiyun will continue to rest tomorrow weekend. When she goes to work the day after tomorrow, it will be difficult for her to ask for leave again.
Xia Zekai had nothing else to do anyway. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
"By the way, on the evening of the 29th, Qiyun Kindergarten is holding a National Day party. Then you can get off work early and let's watch Yatou and Tongtong perform together." Xia Zekai heard about this and specifically told his wife.
.
Luo Xiyun nodded: "I know, you told me earlier, and Teacher Shirui also sent a message in the QQ group."
"That's right, I forgot about it." Xia Zekai scratched his head.
When the girl heard her father talking about her and her sister's performance, she became excited and shouted that she would dance for her parents now.
Xia Zekai couldn't dissuade his daughter's enthusiasm, and immediately asked him which song he was looking for, but the girl's memory in this area was incomparable with studying. She couldn't even hum the tune, while Tongtong was much better.
Already.
She said: ""The teacher asked us to dance and row..."
Xia Zekai then remembered it and said, "It should be "Let's Row the Oars". Tongtong is right, he is a rower."
As a child, his dancing movements were stiff and he couldn't find the rhythm. The dance was really not beautiful, but Xia Zekai and his wife still did not hesitate to applaud and applauded vigorously.
…
On the morning of the weekend, Luo Xiyun called the people from Tengda Decoration and made an appointment to see the house together so that they could design and decorate the renderings according to the layout of the house.
"Zekai, hurry up, why do you always have this bad habit of going to the toilet before going out? You are really lazy and peeing profusely." Luo Xiyun muttered.
But who made Xia Zekai catch up with diarrhea? He got up early in the morning and ran to the toilet twice. Even his two daughters began to dislike him.
He didn't want to either, but he couldn't hold it in.
Xia Zekai shouted feebly: "Right away, right now, why bother?"
It was a very interesting morning. After Xia Zekai finished, his family of four drove to Ziyu Garden.
The designer of Tengda Decoration whom Luo Xiyun contacted is named Zhang Guolong. He is not short, standing 1.81 meters tall.
Judging from his appearance, he is not very old, around thirty, but almost half of his head is white hair. He wears a pair of eyes with a black plate frame and obvious bloodshot eyes. He looks like he has not been resting for a long time.
Good job.
Zhang Guolong arrived here first. After arriving, he waited in the car with the air conditioner on. He waited until Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun and their family came over. Luo Xiyun didn't find anyone, so he called him again, and then the two parties met.
noodle.
When he got out of the car, he took off the backpack from the passenger seat and put it on his back.
Zhang Guolong also said hello to Yatou and Tongtong.
The two little sisters waved their hands and shouted, "Uncle, good morning."
"Ms. Luo, Mr. Xia, let's go check out the house first." Zhang Guolong, Luo Xiyun, and Xia Zekai raised the topic directly after a few polite words.
Xia Zekai nodded: "Let's go, I just got the keys."
Take the elevator up to the 16th floor of Building 2, get out of the elevator, and turn to the right. These two houses belong to Xia Zekai.
Xia Zekai said: "Both 1601 and 1602, let's take a look together. I have a plan to connect the two houses. You can see how to make it better."
Zhang Guolong was speechless. He met a rich owner again and bought two houses next to each other at once, and even connected them. He was really envious.
He couldn't even remember how many house decoration plans he had designed for others, but none of them were designed for himself. He was also very sad.
"Mr. Xia, Ms. Luo, let me take a look at the house first, and then we will discuss it. What do you think?" Zhang Guolong said.
Xia Zekai naturally agreed.
Zhang Guolong went in and took a look, my dear, the area of this house is not small. According to his experience, the indoor area was about 150 square meters. After looking at the other house, he knew in his mind that both houses were large.
Large bungalow.
He also understood why Xia Zekai said he wanted to connect the two houses. The balconies of the two houses were separated by a wall. This wall was not a load-bearing wall. In terms of construction conditions, there was no problem at all.
"It won't be a big problem once it is opened. The balcony is two meters wide and the size is enough..."
"Mr. Xia, Ms. Luo, what decoration style do you want?" Zhang Guolong asked.
Xia Zekai didn't say anything. He raised his chin towards his wife Luo Xiyun. Luo Xiyun chuckled and said, "Chinese style. I don't understand the rest. If you have any ready-made renderings, let me take a look."
This is a must. Zhang Guolong kept it in the backpack he was carrying. He took out a beautifully made book from the backpack and said: "These are all things that have been renovated in our store. Ms. Luo
You can take a look at them all and tell me what style you like at any time."
"Okay!" Luo Xiyun responded simply.
While Luo Xiyun was looking at their company's decoration renderings, Zhang Guolong went to chat with Xia Zekai. He asked Xia Zekai: "Mr. Xia, how much is your decoration budget?"
This is hard to say. The two units add up to 322 square meters, and the indoor area alone is 2,780 square meters.
It is the same for a decoration budget of 100,000 yuan, as well as a decoration budget of 20,000 to 300,000 yuan or even 4 to 50,000 yuan.
Xia Zekai glanced at Zhang Guolong with a strange look. He was not so honest and told Zhang Guolong directly. He said, "Don't worry about this. Let's take a look at the decoration renderings you designed first, and then we'll talk."
"Yes, Mr. Xia is right. Let's do this. We will give out a few more sets of decoration plans. Mr. Xia and Ms. Luo, you can take a look at which one you choose. Let's talk about the decoration costs."
"Well, that's good." Xia Zekai nodded and said.
His wife Luo Xiyun started from the front very seriously and read through the entire book of decoration renderings. She also liked a few renderings and marked them. After seeing the last rendering, she was a little dazzled.
I feel like I don’t know which one to choose.
"Zekai, come here and help me take a look. Why do I think they all look good?" Luo Xiyun said.
When Xia Zekai heard what she said, he laughed and said, "Let me take a look."
Luo Xiyun pointed out the ones she liked to Xia Zekai, and Xia Zekai looked at them carefully. He didn't think subjectively, and he thought every decoration looked good, but it wasn't necessarily what he liked.
He finally chose two that were a bit pastoral and said to his wife: "These two are okay, what do you think?"
Luo Xiyun saw that her husband had selected two more renderings from the several renderings she had chosen. These were the ones she had chosen, and she thought they were good when she looked at them again.
"I think it's pretty good too, how about just these two?" Luo Xiyun wanted to make a decision now.
Xia Zekai said to her: "Why are you so anxious? This rendering is suitable for this house, but it may not be suitable for our two houses. You can let others redesign it."
Luo Xiyun pouted and gave him a roll of his eyes.
Then they showed Zhang Guolong the two renderings selected by the couple and asked him to redesign two sets of drawings according to this style.
"Mr. Xia, Ms. Luo, I will take out the drawings as soon as possible, and we will contact you by phone then." Zhang Guolong said.
He really wants to implement this matter as soon as possible. If Xia Zekai and Luo Xiyun fall in love with the drawings he designed, he will receive a large commission.
