Chapter 36 Preparation for the Auction
In addition to the barn, there are many other buildings that need to be built on the estate. For example www.biquge.info a cement road from the vineyard to the pasture, this road must be repaired, and the calves will definitely be sold after they grow up.
The vineyard is only a few hundred meters away from the predetermined pasture in a straight line, and pulling a cement road from the vineyard to the past is no more than one kilometer, just one kilometer, paving asphalt concrete, the road surface is 4 meters wide, about 300,000 Canadian dollars, and using cement concrete, it only takes more than 100,000 Canadian dollars. Zhang Yuan thought about it and decided to pave the asphalt road, after all, the asphalt road looks more beautiful, and the road surface is smooth, so it is more comfortable to drive on it. Unlike the cement road, because of the material relationship of the cement itself, the road surface is cut into sections, and the car will have a bumpy feeling when walking on it, and it does not look as good as the asphalt road.
Since the road was built, Zhang Yuan decided to build the road on the vineyard side as well, and replace it with asphalt pavement, which is nothing more than spending hundreds of thousands.
In addition to a path, the estate was to be built with farmer's apartments.
The workers in the vineyard said that they were all residents of the town, and that they would not want to let them live here. But once the ranch is opened, then you need to hire cowboys, Ontario is not a cowboy production area, so if you hire cowboys, they are basically outsiders, they have no place to live in the town, and there is more work on the ranch than in the vineyard, so it is better to build a farmer's apartment on the estate, which is also a cowboy apartment, for the cowboys to live.
Lears suggested that Zhang Yuan build a light steel villa.
In the North American continent, which is known as the best living environment in the world, more than 95% of low-rise civil buildings, including residences, shopping malls, schools, office buildings, etc., are built with wood or light steel structures. In North America, due to the rising price of timber year by year, the market development of light steel structure system in North America is growing rapidly at a growth rate of more than 30%, and it has occupied an absolute advantage in the entire construction market.
Light steel structure building has many advantages, stable structure, low cost, the span of the house space is larger than the span of concrete building, and the required construction period is also shorter, much faster than conventional buildings. At the same time, this kind of light steel structure building has a strong ability to resist earthquakes and typhoons, although this natural phenomenon is not common in Canada.
There are other characteristics, such as anti-rust and anti-corrosion, fire resistance, thermal insulation, environmental protection, good sound insulation, more use space, etc., per 100 square meters of building can increase the effective use area of 8-13 square meters, much better than concrete buildings.
Zhang Yuan didn't know anything about architecture, Lells said yes, he just believed it, although it was a little more expensive than the wooden structure, but considering the many advantages of this light steel structure building, he still chose this more novel way of building.
A cowshed, a road, a small bridge for carts to cross, and a cowboy apartment.
With such a large amount of work, the black face that made Liles's excitement turn a little red. Before leaving, he held Zhang Yuan's hand and shook it vigorously, promising to come up with a specific plan and quotation as soon as he went back, and promised that he would complete Zhang Yuan's project with the most favorable price and the most serious attitude.
Zhang Yuan doesn't care much about the price, he pays more attention to the quality of the project, and if he spends more money to make the quality better, he doesn't mind spending more money.
……
Lells was very fast, and the next day he passed the plan to Zhang Yuan through the mailbox, and Zhang Yuan looked at it.
For the cowshed, the roof is made of double-layer color steel tiles, with benzene boards in the middle, which has a very good thermal effect, and the walls are brick and stone structures, which cost about 300,000 Canadian dollars as a whole. Counting the supporting equipment and the calf's barn, it totals $500,000. A reinforced concrete bridge, fifteen meters long and five meters wide, costs $100,000. A lightweight steel cowboy apartment costs $150,000. Add to that a one-kilometer-long asphalt concrete road, and it looks like less than 1.2 million in total.
The price...... Well, Zhang Yuan didn't know if it was expensive or not, but in his opinion, it was still within the range of affordability, so he thought about it briefly and agreed to Lills's offer. After confirming the plan, he also took the time to go to several projects that the Lills construction company had done, the workmanship was very good, and it could be seen that the construction company of the black brothers was still very serious about doing things, no wonder the evaluation on the website was good, Zhang Yuan was very satisfied with his choice.
In the meantime, Laris called to ask when the cattle could be transported. Zhang Yuan asked Lells and set the time for a month later. In a month's time, it is estimated that the project will be almost done. Zhang Yuan can also take advantage of this time to recruit people, a ranch without cowboys is not qualified, and ordinary people can't take care of these big guys, so they must be professionals.
Zhang Yuan had no way, he could only find Larys again. There are cowboys on the ranch in Laris, and it is much easier to find cowboys through cowboys, and cowboys also have their own circles.
At the end of the month, Shi Xiangyong called.
After a month of preparation, the Ritchie Bros. auction house is finally ready to hold an auction, and several of Zhang Yuan's stones have undoubtedly become the finale, especially the rough diamond, which is definitely a big killer to attract gold.
Zhang Yuan took the time to go to Toronto, took the stone out of the bank, sent it to the Ritchie Bros. auction house, and signed an agreement with the auction house to send the auction.
Sure enough, as Shi Xiangyong said, the Ritchie Bros. auction house attaches great importance to this auction, they gave Zhang Yuan a lot of discounts, the most important point is the commission, in order to let Zhang Yuan put the stone in the Ritchie Bros. auction auction, they specially exempted the commission of this auction, and specially served him free of charge, that is, with the help of this original, to hit their reputation in the luxury auction circle of the Ritchie Bros. auction house.
After signing the contract, Zhang Yuan handed over the box containing the stones to the staff of Ritchie Bros., who also sent him an invitation to participate in the auction, but he refused. He didn't think this kind of occasion was interesting, it was just a group of people sitting there holding up signs, boring...... But most importantly, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the pressure of gains and losses.
Recently, it has been a happy event, the project has started, the auction is about to begin, the gold coin is getting healthier and healthier, and he opened his eyes when he was only more than ten days, pure as two black gems, which made Zhang Yuan happy.
In this seemingly leisurely and actually busy life, Zhang Yuan's manor ushered in a special guest.
