Chapter 199: Huang in the capital
The car finally stopped on the auxiliary road, and this time only Liu Zheng was the only one who got out of the car, originally Lu Shengjun wanted to stay with him, but Liu Zhao refused very resolutely, so he had to give up, Yan Wushuang pouted as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Looking at the golden dragon guests who were far away, Liu Zhao waved a taxi and went straight to the city.
Kyoto is a prosperous place, compared with Huazun, and even the current Shantang, Liu is like walking in two distinct worlds, the high-rise buildings of the festival scales, the dazzling neon, the busy streets, so that he seems to have returned to the afterlife, but at this time the third ring road of the capital seems to have just been opened to traffic for a long time, and the long congested queue can not be seen.
Ryu was still familiar with Kyoto, and he directed the taxi to stop at the side of the Third Ring Road, and walked along the auxiliary road alone, he wanted to go around the vicinity of the Third Ring Road.
The Third Ring Road was only completed in 1994, designed into the form of an expressway, along the line in the kind of prosperity that has not yet been in later generations, the planning is not so neat, there will be occasional vendors on the roadside, and you can also inadvertently see the empty shops waiting for rent on the street, Liu is relatively interested to look through those glass windows, the inside is empty, nothing, probably not rented yet.
After looking at the glass for a while, Liu patted the soil on his hand, copied the rental phone attached to it, and then continued to walk forward.
This is a fiery era, which is manifested in the non-stop construction of buildings everywhere, the non-stop construction everywhere, not only on the third ring road, but also in the whole of Kyoto, like a huge construction site, every day there are buildings rising from the ground, and every day there are roads opening to traffic. Little by little, they bustle the city, and then get closer and closer to what Ryu remembered it was.
It's dusk. But the sky is still bright, and let's see if there is still time. Liu walked across the overpass across the Third Ring Road and entered a newly completed community opposite.
It seems that the delivery time of the community is not long, some owners are looking at the house, some owners are decorating, the people in and out of the door are very messy, there is no need to register Liu Relative to wander in, along the road that has not been completely completed, he walked into the nearest building.
Without taking the elevator, Yanagi wanted to see the current level of decoration in Kyoto. So I climbed up the corridor, and the voice-activated lights installed in the corridor should have lit up in turn with the footsteps of Liu Xiang.
The door of room 302 on the third floor was open, and workers were moving things inside, and they walked in with these workers.
The room is not small, it is estimated that there are more than 120 square meters, and the decoration is nearing the end, but there is not much new, the old flat top takes the gypsum line. Simple background modeling, bedroom brush color, not much furniture.
At this time, the worker was pasting the wallpaper on the background wall in the living room, and a middle-aged woman stood beside him and pointed. It looks like the owner, who was chatting with the construction staff about the pros and cons of the wallpaper, and saw Liu Relative walk in and treat him as a neighbor in the same building. Said hello very warmly.
"Upstairs, how's your home going?"
Ryu scratched her head in relative embarrassment. Embarrassed, he said, "I'm not upstairs, I just want to visit your renovation." For reference. β
"Oh, just look at it, it's my lover's own design, I think it's pretty good." The middle-aged woman felt very good and took the initiative to introduce.
Liu Zhao laughed a few times and came to the front of the background wall, "You have chosen this background pattern well, it is gorgeous but not public, and it lights up your entire living room at once." He followed the woman's words, much to the delight of the other party.
"Several groups of people came to see it, and they all said that I chose it well." The woman was also quite proud, "The cost of the wallpaper is a little higher, but it is really beautiful." β
The woman was very talkative, and when she talked about the decoration, she listened endlessly, and Liu Zhao listened with a smile on the side, nodding her head incessantly.
"It doesn't smell after it's loaded."
The woman then turned back to the worker and asked. The worker's pasting is nearing the end and the last one is being cut.
"It's tasteless, it's all environmentally friendly materials, including the adhesive base film." The worker spoke with a southern accent and was probably not a local.
The empty time that he spoke was already circling around the room. The whole kitchen has been installed, the big brand is used, the lamps and bathrooms have also been installed, it looks very high-end, some of the furniture has been transported to the house, the flash of paint can shine the shadow of people, and all the things used look not low-grade.
"Eldest sister, you spend a lot of money on this kind of decoration." After turning around, Liu said with sincere admiration.
"You're right, it cost me a whole thing to even decorate and buy electrical appliances and furniture." She stretched out a thumbs up, and Liu Zhao understood what she meant, which was 100,000 yuan, this number startled him, this was at the beginning of 96, 100,000 is not a small number.
"The basic decoration cost 40,000 yuan, and other furniture and electrical appliances cost me more than 60,000 yuan." The woman suddenly said with some emotion: "If you can decorate a few times in your life, you have to live comfortably." β
The price of basic decoration makes Liu relatively a little surprised, according to this decoration level in the mountain pond can be decorated two sets, it can be seen that the ordinary home decoration consumption concept in Kyoto is indeed a little advanced, but the specific profit he can't calculate, because the cost of labor can not be measured.
"Eldest sister, are there many in our community with a decoration style like yours?" Ryu continued to ask.
"Style?" The woman frowned, as if she didn't understand the meaning of the term Liu Relative, and after a while she reacted, shook her head and said: "I don't know much about this, I don't know much about the upstairs and downstairs, I haven't seen it much, I am relatively early in the decoration, and most of the others have not been sold yet." β
Liu nodded and walked to the window, seeing that the street lights in the community had been lit, but there were not many rooms in the building with lights on, which showed that what this person said was true.
Frowning, Liu closed the open window with his hand.
"Hey, don't close the window, paste the wallpaper, put the smell." Before the window could be closed, the woman's voice came, and the wallpaper worker turned his head to look at Liu Zheng and did not speak.
"It is better to close the doors and windows during the wallpaper pasting process. This increases the service life. Liu Zhao smiled and buckled the circlip and clapped his hands.
"Who do you listen to. How I don't know. The woman was skeptical, she really hadn't heard of it. I just think that opening the window is conducive to air circulation, and the smell can be dispersed a little faster.
"You know what?" Rather than answering the woman's question, Ryu asked about the workers.
"I haven't heard of it." The workers didn't care about this problem at all, and took care of the construction on their own.
Liu Zhao shook his head, the current construction workers in the capital are not so standardized, and the problem that should be explained to the owner is still not in place, which should be a common problem in this era.
"The wind blowing in from the open window will bring moisture, and the wallpaper near the air outlet will absorb more moisture than other places, which is particularly prone to deformation of the zone. Affect the appearance, not only do not open the window when pasting the wallpaper, but also close the window within 24 hours after pasting, so that the glue inside can dry naturally, so as to ensure the delay of the cracking time. β
Liu explained casually, he felt that this owner was very good, and he should be reminded.
"And this?" The women were apparently somewhat convinced.
"Yes, it's just that the popularity of wallpaper is not high now, so many people don't have expertise in this area. There are also some people who don't care about the impact of this change in moisture content. Liu Zhao replied with a smile, and at this time, the worker also finished pasting the wallpaper, and he looked at Liu Zhao seriously, as if he was curious about how this ordinary child knew so much.
"That's really going to have to be careful. By the way, how do you know? , do you also sell wallpapers? β
The owners were also curious. She asked with interest.
"I'm not, I'm in the process of decorating." Liu Zhao touched his nose. He said with a smile.
"That's pretty good, I know a lot." The woman smiled appreciatively. Turn your face and start checking the overall effect of the wallpaper.
Seeing that it was not too early, Liu Zhao said goodbye to the woman, but he did not go downstairs, but walked up the floor and continued to look at a few houses.
The style without exception continues the old style, some innovative solutions are just to add some simple physical second, and a little more luxurious seems to have an extra restaurant background, many still stay in the brick stucco, white on all sides, and the community let the decoration company responsible for the overall home decoration of the owners have been very many, which is probably related to the fast-paced life in the capital, because they are very busy, there is not so much time to stare at the decoration in person.
More than an hour of visit to Liu relative to the decoration of the capital has a general understanding, compared with the following secondary cities, this metropolis already has a professional home improvement company, but the overall design level compared with later generations there is still a certain gap, this era is related, and the decoration cost is about 50% higher than the mountain pond, which may be related to the cost of workers, the price of all materials, the country is not bad.
casually found a hotel and settled down, Liu was not in a hurry to eat, he called the company first. According to his estimate, Lin Hanyu should still be working overtime at this time and did not go home.
Sure enough, Lin Hanyu's voice rang on the other end of the phone.
Without too many pleasantries, Liu first asked about the company's operation.
"After more than a month of overtime, the company has now completed one hundred and nine sets of houses, the balance of all recovered, near the end of fifty-nine sets, is expected to be completed within a week, just entered the forty-three sets, most of these are newly signed contracts, all contracts are basically in accordance with the payment terms set by our company to pay the progress payment, no arrears."
I have to say that Lin Hanyu is indeed a person with very strong execution, she leads the company to move forward steadily in strict accordance with the model formulated by Liu Relative, and walks very solidly, which makes Liu Relative very satisfied, and Yan Nantian has equipped herself with an absolutely high-quality professional manager.
Pulling out the rental phone number he had written down when he got out of the car, Liu asked, "How is the financial situation now, and how much money is available for liquidity?" β
"Now there are nearly three million on the books, and after deducting the payable, the profit should be more than a hundred." Lin Hanyu was also very excited when she mentioned this, she felt that a company with an investment of 200,000 yuan had a profit of more than five times the investment in less than three months, which was unimaginable.
Liu didn't say much, but talked about the things he had explained to her before leaving.
"What happened to the issue of contacting Shantang TV last time?"
This is what he is more concerned about, but due to time constraints, he just told Lin Hanyu his thoughts and asked Lin Hanyu to ask Sun Dake to help match the line and see if there is a possibility of successful operation.
Lin Hanyu herself is engaged in external public relations in the real estate company, and she has many acquaintances in the Propaganda Department and TV stations, and she is more confident in doing this than Liu Relative in person.
"After a preliminary contact, the other party was vague, but it seemed that they thought we were advertising, so they kept talking about sponsorship fees."
Lin Hanyu actually didn't see Liu Relative's intention to do this show, according to his thoughts, isn't this a TV station advertisement?
"Well, if you have time, go to the Propaganda Department more and communicate more with Minister Sun, he is positive about this idea."
Liu is also a little helpless about the attitude of the TV station, but there is nothing wrong with what people do, saying that it is a public institution under the Propaganda Department, but they also have a lot of autonomy, and it will not work by administrative orders alone.
Putting down the phone, Liu Zhao dialed another number.
"Hello, I see that you have a street faΓ§ade in the Third Ring Road ready to be rented, is it your own house?"
This is one of the main purposes of this visit to Kyoto, and Yanagi wants to get to the bottom of it.
The other party was very enthusiastic when he heard that someone was renting a house, and talked about the superior geographical location of his store, the preferential price, and the future business improvement space, Liu was not interested in these, he just wanted to hear the price.
"I have three floors upstairs, and there is a storage room underground, with a total area of nearly 800 square meters.
That side has obviously not been rented out for a long time, so the price is more realistic, and there is not much of a lie.
Liu was also relatively satisfied with the price, but as an office in Kyoto, he was concerned not only about the price, but also about the length of the lease contract, so he asked, "How is the contract signed?" β
"Sign once every three years, negotiate the rental price every year, the specific amount is subject to the rise and fall of the rent of the surrounding shops, after the expiration of the contract, under the same conditions, priority to sign a contract with you." It seems that this landlord is also very experienced and the way of signing is also very reasonable.
Liu thought about it for a while, didn't discuss all kinds of details too much on the phone, and just agreed with him to see the house on the spot early tomorrow morning.
The rent of 100,000 yuan was an ordinary price in the capital at that time, neither high nor low, and it certainly could not be compared with the rent of hundreds of thousands and millions in later generations, but Liu Zhao would not make a hasty decision because the rent was cheap, and he would continue to inspect the site to see if this place was suitable as the office location of the decoration company.
