"Teacher Shi, I'm going to trouble you this time."

After Liu Qinshu helped the two sides introduce each other, Chu Chen stepped forward and said hello respectfully. I learned from Liu Qinshu that Professor Shi has a high prestige in the field of architectural design, and generally does not accept private work.

I was able to invite him over this time, firstly, because Liu Qinshu was familiar with him, and secondly, because I wanted to accumulate some design experience for the two students he brought with him. Therefore, it is reasonable to be reasonable, and Chu Chen will not neglect him.

"Xiao Chu, you're welcome, your villa is very good, such a large area is very rare, I heard what Xiao Liu meant just now, are you going to renovate the yard, right? It's the equivalent of a small garden design, and I'm going to do it for my student Xiexie. ”

Because it was not far from Liu Lao's side, he walked to Chu Chen's villa in a few steps, and Professor Shi looked around outside and felt that it was very good. And his two students showed excited expressions on their faces, and on the other hand, they were very envious of Chu Chen for having such a large villa.

"Teacher Shi, you are really polite......

Chu Chen stepped forward to open the door, and then invited Liu Qinshu and Professor Shi in.

Next, Chu Chen took them, starting from the gate, to the back of the villa, before and after, and carefully looked at it, Professor Shi looked at the details of the courtyard while pointing out the male student to take photos at key positions.

After waiting for a while, Professor Shi said, "Xiao Chu, can you tell me what you think?" ”

Chu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Teacher Shi, my idea is to transform this place into a feeling of greenery and close to nature, just like Liu Lao's side, you can feel the tranquil and leisurely life scenery of the small bridge and flowing water." ”

Professor Shi nodded, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Well, I understand what you mean, do you want to renovate only the front yard, or do you want to renovate it along with the surrounding area of the villa?" ”

"If I could, of course I would like to renovate it along with the back, but if I renovate, is there a way to keep these trees, after all, they have grown for so many years, and it would be a pity to remove them!"

Professor Shi smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, don't worry, these are no problem, but in that case, the price of the transformation will be more expensive." ”

"Teacher Shi, what is the specific price?"

Professor Shi thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that it will cost four hundred to five million to renovate the entire courtyard, and at most five million. ”

Before Chu Chen could respond, Liu Qinshu said with a surprised face: "Ah, Teacher Shi, why do you need to be so expensive now?" ”

Professor Shi smiled and said: "Xiao Liu, you are according to the comparison made by Liu Lao, it has been more than ten years since then, and the materials alone are much more expensive, and the labor is not much more, and Xiao Chu's area is also large, I also calculate according to the good materials used, if Xiao Chu you think it is expensive, you can use a little less material." ”

Chu Chen's current bank card has nearly more than 45 million dollars, and the money for renovation and decoration is more than enough after removing the house money, so he hurriedly said: "Don't, Mr. Shi, just do what you say, if you use a little worse materials, if you say something ugly, the maintenance fee will be enough for this renovation in the future, then I might as well do it in one step." ”

Professor Shi nodded and said, "Haode, you can rest assured of the quality of the materials at that time, I can guarantee you for three years." In this case, I will ask my students to draw a sketch now, and if you are not satisfied, we will discuss it later. ”

Of course, Chu Chen couldn't ask for it, and hurriedly led everyone to the villa, and then, with the help of Liu Qinshu, quickly cleaned up the tables and chairs, and handed them the haode drink he had prepared before.

“xiexie！”

Professor Shi took the drink handed over by Chu Chen, took a sip, pointed out a few words to the female student who took out the drawing board, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, let them draw first, let's take a look at the indoor part." ”

Chu Chen asked, "Don't you have to wait for them?" ”

Professor Shi smiled and said, "They are responsible for the design of the yard, I'm here, I have to do something, otherwise, it's not a sheep's head to sell dog meat." ”

Chu Chen smiled, and took Professor Shi to look at the rooms one by one.

Professor Shi looked very carefully, and looked at each room carefully little by little, and he re-measured each room very attentively, which was not too troublesome at all. This made Chu Chen admire him very much, perhaps it was thanks to his attitude that he could have his current achievements, and this attitude was exactly what Chu Chen needed to learn.

However, when he saw a guest room in Zuihou, the careful Professor Shi suddenly frowned when he checked a wardrobe. Let Chu Chen, who was standing on the side, feel up and down in his heart, not knowing what is wrong here.

"Professor Shi, is there any problem?"

Professor Shi leaned on the wardrobe and listened for a while, and said to Chu Chen solemnly: "Xiao Chu, you go and inform Xiao Liu, I suspect that there are termites in here." ”

"Termites?!"

Termites are one of the top five pests of shijie. It is found on six other continents except Antarctica.

Termites are social insects that live in nests, are afraid of light, live in the dark environment of nests and ant roads for a long time, have strict organization, fine division of labor, and very strong destructive power. It can eat all plants, some animal-derived substances, and at the same time, the formic acid secreted in its body will also corrode steel bars and denature concrete.

The damage of termites to buildings, especially to brick and wood structures and wooden structures, often causes the sudden collapse of houses due to their concealment in the internal destruction of wooden structures or the destruction of their load-bearing parts, resulting in property losses and casualties, and the harm is particularly huge.

Due to the concealment of termites, except for specific seasons, they never move in the open air, and their nests are mostly underground and inside objects, which are not easy for people to find. By the time the signs appear, termites are already quite insignificant.

Previously, Chu Chen saw a report in the Beijing Daily, saying that according to the statistics of authoritative departments, there are currently 8,000 bungalows of 250,000 square meters in the capital that have been infested by termites. Unexpectedly, he was unlucky to encounter this, so he hurriedly ran to the living room and told Liu Qinshu about termites.

"What? Do you have termites here? ”

When the three people in the living room heard that there were termites, their faces changed drastically, and Liu Qinshu hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chu, can you be sure that there are really termites here?" ”

"I don't know, it was Professor Shi who told me that there were termites and asked me to give him pesticides."

"That shouldn't be wrong, Professor Shi must be sure to say this, and you have to notify the property about it."

Saying that, Liu Qinshu hurriedly took out her mobile phone and made a call to the property, and after making the call, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Chu, don't worry, the property will come over immediately, let's wait at the door for a while." ”

The efficiency on the property side was very high, and within three minutes, I saw a property manager with two staff members hurrying over.

After arriving, after a few simple words, Chu Chen took them to the guest room together.

"One, two, three!"

Through Professor Shi's description, the two staff members were basically sure that there were indeed termites hidden in the wardrobe, and then the two discussed, once the wardrobe door was opened, the other person sprayed termite-killing agents inside, and then quickly closed the wardrobe door and covered it for a while.

After a few minutes, one of the staff members opened the wardrobe door and found a termite nest in the drawer of the wardrobe.

After waiting for a while, the two began to carefully inspect the wardrobe and the surroundings of the room, and after inspecting the room, the two of them searched the villa up and down, inside and out, every corner was meticulously searched, and no traces of termite activity were found, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Professor Shi said: "This is supposed to be house termites, but fortunately, these should have just migrated, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune." ”

The species of the genus Termites is the most serious species of termites that damage buildings, and it is characterized by strong diffusion, large colonies, rapid damage, and can cause huge losses in a short period of time. It can be regarded as Chu Chen's luck that he invited Professor Shi, who has studied this aspect, otherwise the house may be hollowed out by the time the problem is discovered.

While Chu Chen's heart was palpitating, he said a little strangely: "Will I have termites in this weishenme?" Could it be that the previous owner brought it in? ”

One of the staff members replied solemnly: "It shouldn't be, I saw long-winged adults in the termite colony, which means that these termites flew over, so it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire villa area to eliminate hidden dangers." ”

Generally speaking, there are three ways for termites to spread, which are divided into "flying", "crawling" and "belting".

"Flying" refers to termites that grow into winged adults and fly in groups to survive in buildings and grow and develop into new termite colonies after several years.

Termite colonies, mostly mature colonies, can produce a considerable number of winged adults, and in the spring and summer of each year, they leave the nest and fly out of the "flying hole" to reproduce, and the male and female adults who fly out find a suitable place to re-establish a new generation of colonies.

"Crawling" refers to termites "crawling" into buildings from the ground through the soil and building pores to carry out harmful activities.

Termites can crawl from the nest or the original hazard to another place to find food, and when the conditions are suitable, termites will relocate from the source and settle down to build a nest.

"Banding" refers to the unintentional movement of termites from one place to another in various activities.

Mainly with the transportation of wooden structures, packing boxes, garden trees, etc., the original ant infestation and termite colonies are carried from one place to another, and when the conditions are right, they can survive and develop the colony under new environmental conditions, and spread and expand rapidly.
