There is a saying that it is easy to buy a villa, difficult to decorate it, and even harder to buy furniture.
For a general suite, the furniture and decoration costs will probably account for 40 to 50% of the price of the bare house. In other words, if you spend one million to buy a house, the decoration and furniture will cost about 500,000, while for a villa
It's different. The most expensive part of a villa is decoration and furniture, and furniture is the most expensive item in a villa. Generally, the higher the percentage of furniture in the price of a bare house, the more it reflects the value of a villa.
If you spend only two million on decorating a five-million-dollar villa, you might as well spend seven million on a large flat-floor apartment. At least that way you can still look cool. If you spend two million on decorating it, then it will only make you miserable.
People say he is a country bumpkin.
The market value of the villa Lin Zhiming bought was 80 million. If the decoration and furniture did not cost more than 100 million, it would be a waste of a villa with such a good location.
Yao Jing was too lazy to decorate the house because she had to wait for it to dry and remove formaldehyde. It would probably be half a year before she actually moved in, so she focused on the furniture to reflect the style of the entire villa.
Yao Jing spends as much money as she has the ability. She used to have little money, and she could live comfortably as a petty bourgeoisie. Now that she has money, she will naturally not resort to hypocritical savings to show that she is superior to others. In her opinion, she has made money.
There is definitely something wrong with her brain if she doesn't spend so much money, so when it comes to choosing furniture, she directly skips the mid- to low-end and focuses on the high-end.
What Yao Jing and Lin Zhiming are walking into now is the most high-end furniture mall in Straits City. The furniture here is all solid wood, and many of them are precious woods, such as yew, pear wood, and golden nanmu. They are very popular here.
Commonly seen, many are made from large materials and are worth hundreds of thousands or more.
There is only one boss in the entire furniture city. Lin Zhiming vaguely remembers meeting him once. It was at a high-end cocktail party. He introduced himself to his family, but Lin Zhiming could not remember it. After all, the identity gap between the two parties is too big, and there is nothing you can do about it.
If you leave enough impression on Lin Zhiming in an extremely limited time, it can only be forgotten by Lin Zhiming. Lin Zhiming cannot do the kind of thing that can memorize the appearance, voice, and name of a person when he meets him.
In his opinion, this is completely unnecessary. Wouldn't it be better if you have the brains to think of a few more conspiracies?
There are many people in the furniture town and there are also many salespeople.
Seeing Lin Zhiming appear, the salesman came over immediately.
"Sir, how can I help you?" the salesperson asked with a smile.
"We want a set of small-leaf rosewood furniture, preferably a complete set," Yao Jing said.
Hearing Yao Jing's words, the salesperson looked at Yao Jing without any trace.
Yao Jing was wearing a dress of unknown brand today, and she was holding a Chanel bag that Lin Zhiming had bought for her before. Although she didn't look very noble, her temperament could be seen at a glance.
People feel that this is a rich master.
So, the salesperson immediately put on a more enthusiastic smile and said, "Please follow me."
Under the leadership of the salesperson, Lin Zhiming and others walked into the depths of the furniture store.
The further you go, the less furniture there is and the higher the price.
At the entrance, there are furniture worth hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands, in the middle there are pieces of furniture worth millions, and inside, the price of the furniture is over two million.
Of course, this refers to a complete set of furniture.
Almost everything sold here comes in a complete set, so that when the whole set is matched, it will look harmonious and grand.
The salesman introduced Yao Jing very seriously. He concluded that Yao Jing was someone who could afford these furniture, and once Yao Jing placed an order, his commission would be considerable.
Yao Jing listened very seriously, because she really wanted to buy a set and go back.
Lin Zhiming was a little uninterested, because the things here did not arouse his interest. Although there were small-leaf red sandalwood furniture here, they looked new at first sight. He knew many really rich people who used the furniture in their homes.
Furniture must not only be made of good materials, but also must have a certain history.
Of course, Lin Zhiming would not ask Yao Jing to buy such furniture. Some people are not used to using furniture of a certain age, and they will think that this kind of furniture is gloomy.
However, what surprised Lin Zhiming was that Lin Wan'er was also very interested in this kind of thing. She couldn't understand what the salesperson said, so she went to look around by herself, and Lin Zhiming could tell that she was not looking randomly.
, she just stared at the patterns on the furniture, and seemed to be studying them.
"What do you think of this set?" Yao Jing asked, pointing to a set of furniture in front of her.
"I think it's good, elegant yet fashionable!" Lin Zhiming said casually.
"I think so too!" Yao Jing nodded and said, "Mainly because I like this style...Xiao Li, how much does this set cost?"
Xiao Li is the salesman.
"Our price tag for this set is 5.88 million, but if you really want it, I can give you a relatively large discount, about 12% off." Xiao Li suppressed his inner excitement and smiled.
He said.
"Five.88 million?" Lin Zhiming frowned slightly. He felt that this was too cheap. For an 80 million villa, if these solid wood furniture did not cost 50 million, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Lin Zhiming, the richest man in the world?
"Yes, the price-performance ratio is also high!" Yao Jing nodded. She does not refuse high-end consumption, but she will not simply pursue high prices out of boredom. In her opinion, this set of furniture is already very good.
"As long as you like it!" Lin Zhiming said immediately. The furniture is not expensive enough, so the decorations can be put together. I will ask Dong Jian to find some good-looking old objects and spend one to two hundred million. The quality of the villa will naturally increase.
"Okay, that's it." Yao Jing said with a smile, "Xiao Li, prepare the contract."
"Okay!" Xiao Li nodded excitedly, "Sister, please wait a moment and I'll see if I can ask the store manager to give you some discounts."
"No, just follow the discount you said. If you ask for another discount, won't it also be deducted from your commission?" Yao Jing said.
"Sister, you are such a good person!" Xiao Li said movedly.
At this moment, a burst of angry scolding suddenly came from the side.
"what are you doing?!"
The sound was very abrupt and attracted the attention of many people.
Lin Zhiming and Yao Jing looked around and saw a salesman walking up to Lin Wan'er angrily.
Lin Wan'er was holding a small piece of wood in her hand, with a panicked look on her face.
The salesman snatched the wood from Lin Waner's hand, pointed at Lin Waner and shouted, "You kid, how could you destroy the furniture here!"
"I...I didn't..." Lin Wan'er shook her head in panic and took a few steps back.
"You said no, what is this? Let me come here!" the salesman shouted.
At this time, Lin Zhiming and Yao Jing walked over from the side together.
"What's going on?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"You are her parents, right? See this for yourselves!" The salesperson angrily handed the wood in his hand to Lin Zhiming.
Lin Zhiming took the wood over.
It was a piece of wood about the size of a thumb. One end of the wood was broken, as if it had been torn off from something.
"Here, look here!" The salesperson pointed to a wooden chair next to him. Two small corners extended from the backrest of the wooden chair to the left and right sides. One of the corners has been broken, and the other corner is similar to the one in Lin Zhiming's hand.
This one is exactly the same.
"Wan'er, did you do this?" Lin Zhiming asked.
"No, no!" Lin Wan'er shook her head nervously and said, "Uncle Lin, I, I just saw that he looked good, and then I touched him, and he fell off by himself. I didn't use any force, no..."
"See for yourself, she said that the corner fell off after she touched it with her hand. Wasn't she broken?" the salesperson said.
"I didn't, I really didn't!" Lin Wan'er looked at Lin Zhiming with tears in her eyes and said, "Uncle Lin, I really didn't use any force, really."
"It's okay, don't be afraid!" Lin Zhiming hugged Lin Waner, gently patted Lin Waner's back and said, "Uncle believes what you said, you didn't break this. It's okay, don't be afraid."
"I'm talking to you parents, are you clearing things up too quickly?" the salesperson said with a frown.
"Zhao Qi, is there some misunderstanding... This thing is usually very strong, and it doesn't look like it will fall off if you touch it casually." Xiao Li, who was responsible for receiving Lin Zhiming and the others, said doubtfully.
"No matter how strong it is, it can't hold up this child. She just grabbed this corner, her legs were curled up, and her whole body was hanging on it. I saw with my own eyes that this child is really good at playing. She is a naughty child at all!
"The salesperson named Zhao Qi pointed at Lin Waner and said.
"No, no, I'm not." Lin Wan'er cried and shook her head.
The commotion here attracted many people around, and people started talking about it.
"I believe my daughter can't lie." Lin Zhiming walked up to Zhao Qi, grabbed Zhao Qi's collar with one hand and lifted it up, and said, "Since my daughter can't lie, then you are lying!
"
"You, why are you like this? Why do you call me a liar? I have been here for so many years and I am a furniture seller. Why would I be slandering a child when I have nothing to do?!" Zhao Qi asked excitedly.
"Sir, please let go!" A man with a general manager sign walked up to Lin Zhiming and said.
"Mr. Lin, this is our Mr. Wang." Xiao Li said quickly.
"Apologise to my daughter." Lin Zhiming didn't care about Mr. Wang at all, but stared straight at Zhao Qi.
"I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?" Zhao Qi said.
"You slandered my daughter." Lin Zhiming said.
"What evidence do you have to prove that I slandered your daughter?" Zhao Qi asked.
"Because my daughter can't lie, you are the one slandering her." Lin Zhiming said.
"You are so arrogant and unreasonable! Ask the people around you, how can anyone be like you?" Zhao Qi said excitedly.
"How can you be so partial to your own children?"
"That's right, is this how children are protected when they make mistakes?"
There were people around who couldn't stand Lin Zhiming's behavior and whispered.
"You heard what everyone said, you have to be reasonable in everything!" Zhao Qi said.
"Principles are told by the weak to the strong. I generally don't like to reason with others." Lin Zhiming said, sneered, and smashed Zhao Qi in his hand directly to the ground.
The people talking around him suddenly became quiet.
Everyone has seen arrogant people, but never seen someone so arrogant and unreasonable.
