Chapter 27: Is It You? Designer?
"Second handsome, you don't have classes in the afternoon, right? I'll look around the store for a while, and I'll go out. Wu Shixiang instructed when he had dinner with Er Shuai at noon.
"Hmmm! Where to? ā
"Find a better design company and produce a decoration drawing, your workers can work, but the design can't!" Let's get it in place at one time, don't finish it again and be dissatisfied, rework costs money and effort! Wu Shixiang was eating, and he was struggling.
"Good! It's best to have drawings, they have a bottom in their hearts, and the progress is faster! The second marshal nodded.
"I was introduced to a design company called Masami, and I heard that it was good, and I looked it up on the Internet as the best company in Kyoto. In the afternoon, I will take a look, and if it is suitable, I will produce a drawing, and you will let the workers get ready, start as soon as possible, and strive to get it done in half a month, so as not to affect the business. ā
"It's a big deal to add more money, let them work in two shifts, work overtime at night, our area is small, and the basic framework doesn't need to be moved, it should be no problem."
After Wu Shixiang finished eating, he drove to the Yamei company introduced by the ancients, the address is in a building in the most golden CBD, it seems to be quite powerful, every inch of land is expensive here, and the rent is very scary.
"Hello, I would like to consult the design business, who can I contact?" Wu Shixiang took the elevator to the ninth floor, and as soon as he went out, he was Yamei, such a big company, basically they were on the first floor, and he walked directly to the front desk to ask.
"Hello, what is the business? What type of drawings are designed? "The front desk was very polite.
"Hmmm! A storefront that deals in antiques. ā
"Okay, please wait a minute, I'll get back to you." The front desk quickly dialed the inside line and asked the designer about the situation.
"Hello, it just so happens that Designer Ouyang is free, you can consult her for specific details, you go straight to the second exit and turn right into the first room, there is a name on the door."
"Okay, thank you!" Wu Shixiang nodded and went directly to find someone.
"Ouyang Yao? It should be this! Wu Shixiang quickly found an office with a name tag on the door, and it looked like a woman. He knocked on the door, and an invitation came from inside, and he pushed the door in.
"Hello, I want to design a drawing~~~ paper? It's you! As soon as Wu Shixiang entered the door, before he finished speaking, he was very surprised to see an acquaintance.
"Hello! I'm Ouyang Yao~~~ How are you? The girl began to work with her head down, and when she heard someone come in, she introduced herself as she looked up, and when she saw someone, she was also surprised.
"Oh? So you're a designer! Hey, what a coincidence! Wu Shixiang said with a smile.
"Humph! Black-hearted boss! What are you doing here? The girl asked with an angry look on her face.
"It's a guest at the door! That's how you Yami receives customers? What a disappointment! Wu Shixiang was not polite, he sat directly on the sofa and raised Erlang's legs.
"You!" The girl suddenly remembered that this was a company and people were customers, and this attitude was a bit excessive! But when I saw Wu Shixiang, he was very handsome, but I don't know why I always feel cheap, and I always want to ravage it.
"Hello, what do you need? Design drawings? Ouyang Yao quickly adjusted her mood, stood up with a smile, poured a glass of water, sat down opposite Wu Shixiang and asked.
"Hey! That's right! Last time you were a guest, I was also smiling and welcoming, didn't I? This time the feng shui rotates, it's time for me to enjoy it once! Wu Shixiang saw that the girl was a little deflated, and he was very proud, you pretended to be an uncle last time, and I should come here today!
"Don't talk nonsense! Something to talk about! Seeing that the black-hearted shopkeeper still had to move an inch, the girl glared at her beautiful big eyes and roared in a low voice.
"Good! To get down to business, I want to design a storefront drawing, which is my Muyuanju, where you've been. Wu Shixiang almost started joking and began to get down to business.
"Oh? Do you still use design drawings for your small shop? Bigger eggs! When Ouyang Yao heard this, she couldn't help laughing, and said with a disdainful face.
"How do you speak? It used to be small, but now it's bigger! Master, I will also wrap up the next door, as soon as the two families are opened, it will be almost 100 square meters, and it will definitely be redecorated. Wu Shixiang straightened up and retorted loudly.
"Oh? I make a lot of money with black hearts! Now they've expanded their stores? Not bad! Ouyang Yao was a little surprised, the rent there in Shilihe is not cheap, the flow of people is prosperous, and it is a well-known professional entertainment market, I didn't expect him to be able to become big quickly?
"You can't take on business? If you don't do it, I'll find someone else! There are a lot of design companies, and if someone didn't introduce me to this place, I'll take a look at it again. Wu Shixiang was deliberately dissatisfied, and stood up to leave.
"Wait!" Ouyang Yao saw it, and hurriedly stopped it, and was about to be evaluated at the end of the month, he was not very good this month, and he didn't have a few orders. Even if the leader won't say anything, colleagues will say anything. Originally, it was an airborne force that had just arrived, and its performance must save face.
"Good! I'll take it! No matter how small a mosquito is, it's meat! Ouyang Yao gritted his teeth and said.
"You took it?" Wu Shixiang showed a wicked smile, "You said you could take it?" Is there anything that proves your level? You have to convince your customers, right? ā
"This? I studied architectural design in the UK for six years, and I also studied jewelry design, and I have won many college competition awards, and ~~~" Ouyang Yao explained loudly with a red face when she heard Wu Shixiang question her major.
"After a long time, you still don't have any specific projects?" Wu Shixiang sat down and hit the nail on the head.
"This? I have just returned to China for less than a year, and there are no well-known projects! But what experience do you use for your shop? It's only 100 flats! Unconvinced, the girl retorted.
"It's not a big project for you, it's all for me! Just like the last time you went to buy agarwood, didn't you also shop around? If my gadgets are not good, will your eldest lady come back and buy them? Look at the red sandalwood you are wearing, isn't it still a product of Mu Yuanju? Wu Shixiang said without hurrying or slowing.
"This?" Ouyang Yao was speechless for a while, it was also the last time she went to someone's store, and she was also picking and choosing and bargaining, this time from a different angle, the guest is always God.
"Good! Tell us about your requirements? I'll listen, if I can satisfy you, I'll take it, if not, I'll send you out! ā
"Chinese style! Simple and atmospheric! It feels like you want to think about Ming-style furniture! To put it bluntly, simplicity is not simple! Wu Shixiang nodded and said his general request.
"Hmmm! Quite tasteful! When it came to professionalism, Ouyang Yao immediately became serious, and Wu Shixiang's words also made her a little impressed. Today's young people are influenced by Western culture, and their aesthetics are European, European luxury style and Baroque architectural concepts at every turn, and they have no requirements of their own. Although she is also studying abroad, she still likes pure Chinese architecture and the beauty of natural harmony.
"What is the approximate budget? I'm talking about the total budget! ā
"One hundred thousand! Don't exceed 120,000 best! Wu Shixiang thought about it and gave a bottom price in his heart.
"One hundred flats! 120,000! Do you know the fees of our Yamei Design? The girl asked, closing her notebook.
"How much?" Wu Shixiang really doesn't know, looking at the posture is definitely not cheap!
"Charge by area! Home decoration is cheaper, and the design fee for one square meter ranges from 500 to 3000! Shops are more expensive, ranging from 800 to 5,000 per square meter! The special design is specifically calculated, your 100 square meters, that is, at least 80,000 yuan! Ay! Don't go! As soon as the girl said the company's basic offer, Wu Shixiang stood up and turned around and left.
"It's too dark! A broken blueprint costs 80,000! I don't design anymore, I went back and discussed with the decoration team, and it would be better to buy all 80,000 mahogany and pave it! Wu Shixiang was grabbed by Ouyang Yao and said with a disgruntled expression.
"Listen to me first!" The girl pressed Wu Shixiang back to the sofa and quickly explained: "This is just the company's external standard, and the specific situation is analyzed!" For example, this is a small project, the design cycle is short, and the fee can be discounted a lot! In this way, we have dealt with each other and will give you a preferential price! Sixty thousand! ā
"I'd better look elsewhere!" Wu Shixiang stood up and still had to go!
"You! Fifty thousand! Ouyang Yao saw that he didn't want the customers who had finally come to the door to disappear, so he gave way.
"I don't think your company seems to have any specific standards, right?" Wu Shixiang suddenly understood something and asked.
"This?" The girl was a little hesitant, and simply confessed directly: "The company has the bottom line, and the rest depends on the designers themselves to communicate with the customer, and I am the cheapest!" ā
"The different fees of your designers are based on fame and experience, right? You are a novice and a designer of the Bird's Nest must not be compared, right? Wu Shixiang said unceremoniously.
"That's it! But that little shop of yours isn't an Olympic venue! The girl retorted unconvinced.
"So! Let's decide according to the actual situation! The actual area of my store is definitely less than 100 square meters, and the basic decoration is there, half of which is still hardcover just made the year before last! You have to make use of these existing resources, right? There's no way I'm going to take it off and put it back on, right? ā
"That's nature! Considering the interests of our customers to the greatest extent is the highest aim of our designers! Ouyang Yao looked proud.
"Look at it! If you can really take this job, run with me, go to the field, and finally if we can negotiate a mutually acceptable price, this list is yours! Wu Shixiang built yƬ, the two of them don't look at the place, and it's useless to talk about it.
"Good! I'll check it out! Ouyang Yao stood up, took his briefcase, and went downstairs with Wu Shixiang to go on a field trip.
"Is this your car?" The two went to the parking lot together, and Wu Shixiang was surprised when he saw Ouyang Yao get into a red Mercedes-Benz sports car.
"Yes! Not bad! The second uncle just gave me a gift! Walk! Get in! Ouyang Yao looked proud, showing off a little.
"Hey! You rich second generation! I don't know what the people are suffering! Wu Shixiang shook his head sadly, but he still shamelessly got into a good car and went to Muyuanju to investigate.
