This is the power of the government. If Ouyang Huihui was asked to find a dormitory by herself, she would be exhausted and unable to do anything in Shanghai in 1983.
Including the rooftop platform, the Hengshan Road store has three floors to receive guests.
The first floor is a scattered seating area. Near the window is a four-person table composed of two high-backed double sofas. In the middle is a scattered table composed of a square table and a single sofa chair, which can be freely matched according to the number of guests.
The coffee station, kitchen, bakery and cashier are also located here. At Sun Dahai's request, the designer also reserved an orchestra pit and piano space in the middle area so that musicians can perform live performances in the future.
The second floor is the book bar and private room area. This floor is characterized by quietness and privacy. Indoor green plants and bookshelves cleverly separate each area to form an independent space that is as undisturbed as possible.
On the bookshelf are various newspapers and magazines subscribed by the cafe. They are scattered on various bookshelves on the floor according to different categories and are free for guests.
The other half of the area is filled with private rooms of various sizes, ranging from four-person rooms to ten-person rooms. Each private room uses the best sound insulation materials to ensure the privacy of guests.
The third floor is the original roof, but now it is a sealed sunroom surrounded by brown glass.
Western-style light meals and drinks are provided here. Because the roof is transparent, there are vertical umbrellas next to each table to protect guests from the sun.
The bar on the third floor provides drinks, and Xiangjiang's bartenders mix drinks for the guests. If the guests order food or coffee, it is delivered by the food delivery machine from the first floor.
Ouyang Huihui took Sun Weihong and Cao Yue to visit, chattering all the way. Sun Dahai did not go with the ladies, but let Dai Wenpeng take him with him, and looked around.
"You can give it ten points." Sun Dahai, who returned to the first floor after the visit, affirmed everyone's work.
"It's about to open, do you think there are any questions?" Sun Dahai asked.
"It's almost there, but there may still be some shortcomings in service. Mainland employees may not be used to the services we require," Dai Wenpeng replied.
"Take your time, I told store manager Ouyang the last time she came to the capital. At present, the country has not yet formed an advanced service awareness, so I asked her to take advantage of the current low labor costs and recruit more people. Otherwise, in the future
If you want to open a branch, but there is no one available, you can’t just recruit from Xiangjiang. When are you going to return to Xiangjiang?”
Dai Wenpeng said: "I will go back after the cafe's operation stabilizes after it opens."
Sun Dahai looked around and saw that no one was around. He looked like a gossip and asked Dai Wenpeng in a low voice: "I heard that Ouyang Huihui is your girlfriend's sister. Is it true?"
Dai Wenpeng blushed and said: "It's true. I have never met her, and I don't know her full name. But I have seen her photos from my girlfriend.
When I first arrived in Shanghai, she looked familiar to me. Later, after I learned her name, I called back to Xiangjiang and asked about my girlfriend, and then I found out that Sister Huihui was really her sister."
"How about we work together for a while. Can she accept the matter between you and her sister? Can she be your helper?" Sun Dahai still wants to continue to work hard.
"It should...it should be possible. After Sister Huihui found out who I was, she asked about our situation. Later, she took very good care of me at work."
While the two were chatting, Sun Weihong and the others took the elevator and went downstairs.
Cao Yue said to Sun Dahai: "Dahai, this elevator is really interesting. The office building we are building now should also use such an elevator, okay?"
Sun Dahai said: "This is a coffee shop and needs to attract attention, so we install such a sightseeing elevator. Why do you install it in an office building? Its cost is much higher than that of an ordinary elevator."
"Oh, forget it." Cao Yue is very good at this. She knows that sometimes her words and actions are unreliable, so she can humbly accept other people's opinions and follow the good advice.
Ouyang Huihui said: "I'm done reading here. Sister Wei Hong, let's go, I'll take you to your new home for a look."
"Okay, okay, let's go quickly."
The emperor was not in a hurry, but the eunuch was. Cao Yue was so anxious that others didn't know it and thought it was her new home.
Behind the coffee shop is a reserved parking lot, and further inside is Sun Weihong's new home.
In order to ensure the privacy of the villa, the designer completely separated the front and rear through the wall of the villa. On both sides of the wall, a large number of moso bamboo and purple bamboo were replanted in addition to the original trees.
Next to the cafe, there is a driveway that leads directly from the street to the entrance of the villa.
The wall of the villa was built free of charge by the government, which was part of the city government's compensation for the damage to the villa.
Several people walked along the driveway for more than ten meters and arrived at the gate of the villa.
There are two iron gates at the entrance of the courtyard. The larger one is only opened when cars pass by. There is also a small iron gate on the side for people to pass through.
Ouyang Huihui took out the key and opened the small iron door. While leading the way, she said: "Sister Wei Hong, I have led everyone to complete the sanitation work in the house, and I have been ventilating it every day for more than half a month. You guys
Checked in today, no problem at all.”
In the shade of greenery, a white two-story European-style villa suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There is a three-story marble fountain in front of the villa. The driveway bypasses the fountain and is flanked by a two-car garage.
After everyone waited for Ouyang Huihui to open the door, they walked in together. After walking around the entrance, their eyes suddenly lit up, and a hall of nearly 60 square meters appeared in front of them.
In the hall, the most eye-catching thing is the crystal chandelier hanging from the light pool in the hollow space on the top. Under the reflection of the sun, it blooms with dazzling light, layer upon layer, showing a graceful and luxurious temperament.
Crystal chandeliers, marble tiles with patterns under the feet, white dark patterned gold-edged wallpaper on the walls, and a full set of European furniture in the villa, including hardware, sanitary ware, and electrical appliances. These were all ordered by Sun Dahai from Xiangjiang in accordance with the designer's requirements.
The trading company is responsible for importing.
During the final settlement, Wu Dawei told Sun Dahai that the various expenses together cost more than 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars.
Sun Dahai thought about it for a while, then with a wave of his hand, he asked Wu Dawei to erase the first one and let Sun Dawei bear it. The number at the end of the bill remained unchanged, more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, about 50,000 yuan, and was settled with his family.
So until now, the family only thinks that the design, decoration, furniture and electrical appliances of this house cost a total of 100,000 yuan. Little did they know that Sun Dahai silently shouldered the majority of it.
The designer of the villa is a native of Shanghai and a professor at the Department of Architecture of Tongji University. He has a special liking for European-style villas and has studied them for many years.
One of his students was the person in charge of handling the transfer procedures for Sun Weihong. He knew that the interior of the villa had been completely destroyed, so he asked Sun Weihong how she was going to deal with it.
When Sun Weihong revealed his intention to renovate the villa, he understood that the teacher had done a good job and informed the teacher in time.
According to the information registered by Sun Weihong, the professor personally went to Danfu University to find Sun Weihong and proposed to design a decoration plan for her for free to satisfy his lifelong hobby.
