313: Home City
Chapter 313: Home City
When the son's new home is built, it is natural for the parents to be there to support it.
It's just that they couldn't intervene in the scene like last night. Fortunately, the amount of alcohol in the tour is unstoppable, so they don't have to worry about it, they just need to watch the play. However, as soon as they heard that Zhou You was going to buy furniture, they said that they would come over and give Zhou You a reference.
Father Zhou also said: "Yes, Xiaoyou, don't make things too difficult for others." Fluttershy is only a few years old to ask her to complete such a demanding task. ”
"Not harsh!"
Zhou You smiled and pointed to the store in front of him and said: "Zhang Yingwu made furniture before making jade, and with his more than ten years of furniture experience, I believe it will not disappoint us." ”
"You have to call someone Uncle Zhang, it's rude!"
Father Zhou still has that temper, and directly slapped Zhou You as a lesson.
In the eyes of the father, the son will always be the son.
Zhou You likes this feeling very much, at least his father will not be alienated by his leap.
"Wow, there's really vintage furniture!"
Fluttershy is the first to enter the Yingwu Group's furniture store, and is immediately greeted by a batch of noble and elegant vintage furniture, screaming and flying over.
The conditions proposed by Zhou Yu are not undemanding, and the fact that a villa requires three styles of furniture, and the most extreme is that special places require special arrangements, which is simply challenging Fluttershy's aesthetic limits.
"I don't know what can be done to you?"
The salesman who didn't look very good but had a sweet smile saw the Zhou You family and immediately greeted him. According to her judgment, the Zhou You family has considerable purchasing power, and the purchase ** is also obvious, which is estimated to bring her a high commission income, so she naturally has to go all out.
Fluttershy walked down the slope and asked, "Help me introduce the retro furniture for the study first!"
Since the success of Longque Tower and the fame of Yuanzhen Group, Zhou You has received a lot of VIP cards, and the VIP cards of Yingwu Group are naturally among them, and they are the most advanced kind.
"Diamond!"
When the salesman saw the diamond card, his eyes lit up.
The diamond VIP card will only be issued by Zhang Yingwu himself, which is not only a discount, but also represents a distinguished status. This special level of VIP card, will not be reduced because of the discount, the commission is calculated according to the price, and the characters with the diamond card are generous businessmen, meeting such customers, is naturally the company's every salesman dream.
"Please come over here!"
Under the envious eyes of other colleagues, the salesman still kept a smile, led them around to another series of areas, pointed to a Huanghuali retro desk, and seriously introduced: "This Huanghuali desk is based on the desk used by ancient literati and scholars, and is copied in actual proportions. Its style is elegant, the carving is fine, and you can smell an elegant wood fragrance when you smell it carefully. ”
Zhou's father and mother had never seen such furniture, and when they smelled it carefully, they really smelled a little smell.
Fluttershy rubbed the lines of her desk and asked, "Boss, do you think it's appropriate?"
Zhou You nodded and said: "Yes, it looks like the late Ming Dynasty, it is very tasteful, buy it." ”
In the late Ming Dynasty, due to the political **, the so-called literati class mostly lost confidence in politics and instead focused on the pleasures of life, and furniture, as the most indispensable part of life, is naturally the most direct embodiment of this spirit.
It is still simple, natural, and comfortable, which is the furniture style of the late Ming Dynasty. Exactly that, this style is the most appetite for travel.
Father Zhou sighed: "This desk looks very noble, even a rough person like me can feel a rushing sense of antiquity, which can definitely set off the style of Xiaoyou's study." ”
Mother Zhou sighed: "It must be very expensive." ”
Huanghuali is synonymous with "the beauty of classical furniture" in the furniture world.
Huanghuali is not easy to crack, not easy to deform, easy to process, easy to carve, clear texture and fragrance, etc., coupled with the exquisite skills of craftsmen, Huanghuali furniture has become a model of classical furniture. Today, collectors at home and abroad are proud to have collected Huanghuali furniture masterpieces.
Although there are a few places where rosewood is now grown, it is far from being able to supply the domestic consumption rate, and many of them are imported from Vietnam and other places. It is rare to encounter precious Huanghuali furniture in a small city like Mingyuan City.
Fluttershy sees that the salesperson wants to open an order and reminds, "Don't rush into the calculations, we still have a lot to buy." ”
"Yes!"
The salesperson wishes Fluttershy would say that.
Fluttershy looks at the surrounding furniture and asks, "Are these all Huanghuali furniture?"
The salesman replied: "Yes, these are all Huanghuali furniture, and several of them are matched with the desk, and we have counted them." ”
Fluttershy carefully counted the pieces of Huanghuali furniture and muttered, "We only need the study furniture, the Huanghuali dining table is not necessary, the classical dresser, and the retro bed are not needed." ”
It's a pity to travel around, it's rare to encounter so many precious Huanghuali furniture. It's a pity that the layout of the villa has been fixed, and the tour cannot be changed at will, if the retro furniture is arranged in a modern space, it will become nondescript, giving people a funny atmosphere, thus devaluing the aesthetics of the tour.
Fluttershy counts and lamentses, "Unfortunately, there aren't retro-style bookcases, so we're going to have to make another trip." ”
The salesman immediately reminded: "Distinguished guests, we accept orders here." ”
"It's so convenient!"
Fluttershy quickly lists all the furniture she needs in her study and says, "You can help me get the whole set of Huanghuali furniture for my study, here's a list of all the furniture, you can take it and make copies." ”
"Yes. ”
The salesman hurriedly ran away, but she soon returned, followed by a fat man with glasses.
As soon as the fat man with glasses came up, he enthusiastically held Zhou You and said, "It's an honor to meet Mr. Zhou, surnamed Wang, is the general manager of Yingwu Home." The chairman personally explained that if Mr. Zhou comes, he must be received at the highest level. ”
Subsequently, General Manager Wang greeted others warmly and was extremely respectful to Zhou's father and mother.
Zhou You was a little uncomfortable with General Manager Wang's enthusiasm, and hurriedly talked about the topic: "General Manager Wang, I don't know if there is any noble and elegant furniture here, or comfortable and natural furniture here?"
"Yes!
General Manager Wang hurriedly motioned to the salesman to lead the way, and then sent an invitation to them to travel around.
With the guidance of professionals, their purchase speed has naturally increased a lot, far better than their blind people talking about elephants and buying nonsense. A total of more than 20 sets of furniture, except for a small number of special furniture that needs to be customized, all the others have been purchased, and the whole process only took them more than an hour to travel around.
"Alright, let's settle the score!"
Zhou Yu, who easily solved a difficult problem, was in a great mood, and took out the check and wanted to settle the bill.
General Manager Wang made a detailed list and replied respectfully: "Mr. Zhou, all the furniture, including the custom-made ones, adds up to about 3.67 million! ”
"What! That's more than three million!"
Zhou's mother, who has always been a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, almost fainted when she heard this number.
Father Zhou was still knowledgeable and said: "Old woman, don't be so loud, Hainan Huanghuali is so expensive." ”
Zhou You replied with a smile: "Dad, these are not Hainan Huanghuali, but Vietnamese Huanghuali." ”
General Manager Wang immediately praised: "Mr. Zhou is as knowledgeable as rumored. ”
General Manager Wang's words undoubtedly pointed out that those retro furniture are made of Vietnamese Huanghuali.
Father Zhou wondered and asked, "What's the difference between Hainan and Vietnam, aren't they all made of rosewood?"
Zhou You knew that he had to throw away his schoolbag again, and replied: "They are all the same tree species, but the price is very different." The reason why Hainan Huanghuarosewood furniture is so hot is caused by many reasons. First, the best Huanghuahuali furniture is Ming-style furniture, and it happens that the best varieties of Ming-style furniture are made of Hainan Huanghuahuahua; second, Hainan Huanghuahuajiamu is once again on the verge of extinction, resulting in the phenomenon of scarcity and preciousness; third, now the whole market is pursuing retro elegance, and the purchasing power has been greatly improved, resulting in a seller's market. Fourth, the growth period of Hainan rosewood is extremely slow, and the general heartwood must reach more than 15 cm before it can be used for furniture, and such trees need to grow for more than 100 years, and they will be stored for 20 to 30 years after being cut down before they can be used. ”
"OMG!"
Fluttershy, who didn't think it was a big deal, was taken aback and asked, "Doesn't that mean that even if we start planting now, we won't see rosewood in our lifetimes, and we won't have the opportunity to use it until our great-grandchildren?"
Zhou You nodded.
Father Zhou asked, "Isn't that huanghuali wood an investment product?"
Zhou You replied: "Now it is one of the investment options. ”
Zhou's mother sighed: "If these are from Hainan, wouldn't the price break 10 million?"
Zhou You said with a smile: "If I remember correctly, the price of ordinary Hainan Huanghuali wood is about 3,000 yuan per catty, which is equivalent to 6 million yuan a ton. ”
Mother Zhou was speechless in an instant.
In the past, let alone 3.67 million yuan, even if it was a fraction of 70,000 yuan, it couldn't be taken out. It's good now, traveling around and buying a batch of furniture is the income of an ordinary family for a lifetime.
Fluttershy suddenly asked, "General Manager Wang, is this the result of a discount?"
General Manager Wang nodded.
This time, not only Zhou's mother was speechless, but even Fluttershy, who had been a little excited recently, was speechless, and she didn't know what to use to sigh. Suddenly, Fluttershy thinks it's amazing to travel around and spend so much money without blinking an eye.
Zhou You signed a check and said, "Please help us send it to Mingxiang Community, when we get there, as long as I report my name, someone will naturally help guide you." ”
General Manager Wang respectfully accepted the check and replied: "The problem of handling is just a trivial matter, if I can't even do this bit of work, I won't have the face to stay in the group, please rest assured Mr. Zhou." ”
"Goodbye then!"
"Thank you for your patronage!"
