Chapter 331: Antique
When Jiang Ping was still in southern Xinjiang, he received a call from the decoration company, telling him that the decoration work of the store had been completed. This can be said to be the www.biquge.info of Jiang Ping's future career, so he also attaches great importance to it. I just returned to Sioux City yesterday and came to check the decoration today.
Because Jiang Ping was a customer introduced by Wei Decheng, the decoration company did not dare to be careless, and sent a vice president surnamed Wang to accompany him to inspect the store.
When Jiang Ping opened the door of the store, a strong traditional Chinese flavor came to his face. The store is completely decorated in a traditional Chinese style, with antique counters, tables and chairs, and bogu shelves, as well as other traditional style dΓ©cor, which even gives the illusion of going back hundreds of years.
Jiang Ping looked around carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Yes, it is very consistent with my design." β
All the decoration renderings of the store were made by Jiang Ping himself, so he would say such things.
The vice president of the decoration company also admired Jiang Ping's design very much, and couldn't help nodding his head: "Yes, I took care of the construction team at the beginning, and now it is rare to see such a pure traditional design, and the construction must be carried out in strict accordance with the drawings." β
"Youlao Wang always bothered. Jiang Ping said politely, and then said with a smile: "You know, this is an antique shop, so the style of decoration is very important." β
"Yes, that's right. Vice President Wang agreed, but he quickly continued: "Mr. Jiang, but I'm a little worried, if you want to listen......
Jiang Ping immediately said: "If Mr. Wang has any worries, please say it, I also want to hear the opinions of people in the industry." β
"That's right, if this is an antique shop. I'm afraid the security measures are a bit weak. Vice President Wang frowned and said, "The wooden door alone can't stop those thieves." Even if you have installed an alarm system that is connected to the police station. By the time the police arrived, the thief might have run away with his things. β
Vice President Wang's words did make some sense, Jiang Ping nodded lightly and said, "You're right, I don't know if there is any way to solve this problem?"
"The solution is to install a set of roller shutters connected to the alarm in the doors and windows. Vice President Wang had already thought of a solution, and immediately said to Jiang Ping: "As long as someone pries the wooden doors and windows outside, when the alarm is touched to report to the police station, the stainless steel roller shutter door will be automatically lowered and all the doors and windows will be covered." This way before the police arrive. Thieves won't be able to get into your shop. β
Speaking of this, Vice President Wang paused for a moment, and then said to Jiang Ping: "I have seen it, the space on the roof is very large, enough to install such a system." It is usually closed on the ceiling, and customers can't see it at all, which will not affect the overall style of the store at all. β
In fact, Jiang Ping is very familiar with a similar security system, and he also has a way to crack this system lightly without touching the alarm system. However, the guys who will come to pry the antique shop are just a bunch of thieves in Jiang Ping's eyes, and this system should be enough to deal with them.
So Jiang Ping didn't hesitate. immediately nodded at the other party and said, "Okay, this matter is up to Mr. Wang." Please arrange it. Just install it in place. Not only the storefront should be installed, but also the two rooms in the back. β
"No problem!" Seeing that Jiang Ping adopted his opinion, Vice President Wang was also very happy, but soon hesitated and said: "But the price of this system is not cheap......
Jiang Ping smiled at Vice President Wang: "Safety first, spending more money is nothing." β
With Jiang Ping's words, Vice President Wang was relieved, and immediately nodded: "In this way, I'll go back and let them make a budget, and start work after your consent." β
I still appreciate Vice President Wang's serious attitude, Jiang Ping nodded and said, "Okay, then do it, let's go, let's go and see the courtyard and the two rooms in the back." β
The courtyard and the two rooms in the back are also single-handedly handled by the decoration company, and Vice President Wang certainly has no opinion on this.
Passing through the storefront, there is a small but elegant courtyard at the back. This courtyard is also designed by Jiang Ping, and in the style of the Chinese courtyard, it integrates some European and American styles, giving people a refreshing feeling.
The large ginkgo tree in the corner of the yard has been retained, and many new plants have been added. For example, there are more than a dozen bamboo trees planted on the side of the wall, two plantain trees on the other side, and some ornamental plants that are not tall but very beautiful.
In addition to these plants, the most striking thing in the yard is the newly excavated fish pond. This fish pond is more than ten square meters, and the edge of the pond is dotted with round rocks of various sizes, giving it a very peaceful feeling.
At the corner of Pond 1, there is also a rockery made of the same round rocks, which is about half a person high. A stream of clear water emerges from the rockery and turns into a small waterfall that pours into the fish pond, adding a bit of vitality to it.
The water in the pond is crystal clear, and there are several koi fish of different colors and flowers. These koi fish swim leisurely in the clear water, and at first glance they look as if they are floating in mid-air.
According to Jiang Ping's design, some lotus flowers were also planted in the pond. However, it is only the early spring season, and the lotus leaves have not yet sprouted, so the pool looks a little bare. But even so, the fish pond is already very beautiful, and it is sure to make the eyes of those who come to the yard shine.
A small bridge crosses the pond, and after passing this small bridge, you will come to a cloister. At the back of the cloister are the two rooms at the back of the courtyard.
One of the bedrooms was used by Jiang Ping as a temporary residence, although it was also decorated in Chinese style, but the facilities inside were very advanced and could bring extremely comfortable enjoyment to the residents.
Not to mention air conditioning and floor heating, there is also a large TV hidden behind an antique screen, and a laptop computer inside a Ming Dynasty-style table.
The bathroom attached to the bedroom is even more luxurious, and there is even a jacuzzi and a fully automatic toilet. And you can also sit in the bathtub and enjoy the view of the courtyard outside through the single-sided glass, which is better than the bathroom of many five-star hotels.
Behind a secret door in the bedroom, there is also a hidden safe. In the future, Jiang Ping will put some particularly valuable items here, and he can rest assured.
The other room is the place where Jiang Ping looks at others, although the decoration is relatively simple, but it also takes a lot of thought. The same Chinese style, only a few very simple pieces of furniture. Two chairs, a coffee table, a table by the window, a bookshelf by the wall, and a guzheng.
To put a zither in the room, it is not Jiang Ping who deliberately pretends to improve the style here. In fact, he can really play the guzheng, although not as good as those master-level performers, but it is certainly much better than those guys who shake their heads and play the guzheng on TV.
In fact, playing the guzheng is the most important thing to pay attention to calmness, and the player must also sit upright and relax the whole body. Like some people on TV, shaking their heads and swinging their bodies, eager to twist their butts to the rhythm, is simply heretical in the eyes of insiders.
Jiang Ping was also very satisfied with this room, imagining the situation of lighting a furnace of incense, sitting behind the guzheng and playing melodious ancient songs, waiting for the guests to come to see the face, that kind of compulsion must be very high.
And Jiang Ping's improvement of his coercion is not just as simple as pretending to be coercive, but to increase the fee for looking at the appearance. In the past, many people felt that it was expensive to pay 50,000 yuan in the box of the hotel. Now that it is changed to this kind of place, it is really a bit too much to say that it will not charge 80,000.
After Jiang Ping expressed his satisfaction with the decoration, Vice President Wang also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this guest was personally introduced by Wei Decheng, and if he is not satisfied, it is likely to affect the company's future cooperation with Wei Decheng. Now that Jiang Ping has expressed his satisfaction, Vice President Wang's hanging heart has finally been put down.
The next thing is some handover work, Vice President Wang handed over the keys and pipeline drawings in the store to Jiang Ping. Jiang Ping, on the other hand, signed the confirmation and promised to pay the balance in three months.
At this point, Vice President Wang's task was completed, and he promised Jiang Ping that he would do his best to arrange for the store to be equipped with an automatic anti-theft iron door, and then went back with a smile on his face.
Looking at the antique shop that completely belonged to him, Jiang Ping couldn't help but show a satisfied smile on his face. He's just 19 years old, and the fact that he can own a storefront in an antique street where every inch of land is at a premium is enough to leave most of his peers behind. What's more, Jiang Ping did this completely by his own ability, and he didn't ask his parents for help at all, which is undoubtedly more rare than those rich second generations who rely on their parents.
Of course, in Jiang Ping's opinion, although it took some thought to be able to do this, it was not too difficult. After all, he has twenty years more experience than others, and he also has the cheating device of snobbery, if he can't mix up his personal appearance, it is too much to say.
In fact, in order to live a peaceful life, Jiang Ping did not use too many invisible light means. Otherwise, his assets are much more than that, and he is likely to have entered the ranks of billionaires.
However, Jiang Ping is very satisfied with the current situation, although the money is less, but at least he doesn't have to live at ease every day like in his previous life, for fear that the police will suddenly break in. As for the money that can be earned slowly, anyway, with so many skills, I am not afraid of starving to death at all.
Now that the storefronts have been renovated, of course they have to give this place a name, in fact, Jiang Ping has already thought about it. He looked around the shop, then smiled with satisfaction, then locked the door and left.
Jiang Ping strolled down the antique street and finally stopped outside one of the shops. He glanced at the sign at the entrance of the store, and then walked in without hesitation.
Now Jiang Ping is also well-known in the antique street, and the shopkeeper saw him come in and hurriedly came out from behind the counter to greet him. (To be continued......)
