Section 20: Planning
Dai Yue Pavilion was the first to arrive at the Returning Chao Pavilion. According to modern parlance, Dai Yuege is the boss of the engineering team with rich construction experience and project management experience, and his high spirits in recent years are inseparable from the rise of the Ye family. Dai Yuege originally lived in Qingyun Lane, and the Ye family was neighbors, and this boss Dai, who had no shelf, soon became good friends with Ye Laogeng, who had a good temper, and drank together, and later became brothers. After Ye Laogeng got married and his wife Wang Jue became pregnant, Dai Yuege clamored to form a family with the Ye family, but at that time, Dai Yuege only had two sons who were already not young. Later, when Ye Tao was born, Dai Yuege wanted a daughter to fulfill his promise, but many years of "hard work" seemed to have no results, until Ye Tao was 7 years old, Dai Yuege's youngest daughter Dai Qiuyan was born.
Originally, when Dai Yuege didn't have a daughter, Ye Laogeng couldn't help but ridicule him, but now that he has a daughter, he is very beautiful and cute, so naturally this family matter has been decided. At that time, Ye Tao's mind was full of words such as "Lori" and "cultivation". It is precisely because of this that Ye Tao later helped his fiancΓ©e change diapers and other unbelievable things. is different from Dai Yuege's rough appearance, and different from the Dai family's personality that can't be contained. Dai Qiuyan, who is only 7 years old now, is a quiet little girl, and she is very patient. Dai Qiuyan, who often goes to the Ye family's yard and Ye's workshop to play, often sits on the side with her chin and watches quietly when Ye Tao is busy with the work in her hands, often for an hour or two, and never complains. Ye Laogeng and his wife are very satisfied with such a daughter-in-law, although it will take at least another seven or eight years before they can officially pass the door, and in Ye Tao's eyes, such a wife may not be able to "use" for another ten years.
From the beginning of Zhan Yuan to the Spring Warm House, almost all the gardens designed by Ye Tao before and after were built by the construction team of Dai Yue Pavilion, as were the factories of Ye's Workshop. In order to ensure the quality and speed of construction, in order to make the final effect meet the design requirements, Dai Yuege's construction team was armed to the teeth by Ye Tao with a variety of fresh construction machinery, which may be the most modern construction team in this era. With these fresh designs, Dai Yuege was able to build houses for other man-made yards with unrivaled speed and quality. A few days ago, he also bought a piece of land by himself, asked his son-in-law for a batch of design drawings, and built 12 small yards in a row to sell, more than double the profit. This contractor is on the verge of transforming into a real estate developer.
Dai Yuege walked into the private room set by Ye Tao and said very dissatisfiedly: "Ye Tao, you are not interesting enough these days." β
Ye Tao said strangely: "Huh? What's wrong with me? β
"People say, the wife of the chaff doesn't go to court, you chase after the eldest lady from the capital and run behind the buttocks, what should my daughter do?" Dai Yuege was not angry, but more like joking, "Okay, give my daughter an explanation." Qiu Yan is still young, she has been seen and watched by you, and she has played with it, so it is not okay to just open it. β
Ye Tao hurriedly defended: "Uncle Dai, don't talk nonsense, what does it mean to have seen and played?" Is this a big misunderstanding? Besides, Miss Zhuo and I are just ordinary friends. β
"Ordinary friends?" Dai Yuege snorted and said, "What did you say when I said that Miss Yinru of Nongcuilou was an ordinary friend? How can there be such a thing as an ordinary friend between a man and a woman? I can even think of something like making me kneel on the washboard. β
It turned out that I wanted to get back to this field...... Ye Tao rolled his eyes and said weakly: "Uncle Dai, don't make trouble, okay?" I'm looking for you for business. As he spoke, Ye Tao took out the drawing that was rolled up and placed in a bamboo tube and handed it to Dai Yuege.
As soon as he saw Ye Tao take out the drawings, Dai Yuege stopped interrupting. He unfolded the drawings, looked at them carefully, and said, "What is this for?" A few buildings add up, what a big land. β
Ye Tao said: "This is the building that is going to be set up in Beijing, as a marching chess business, that is, the headquarters and flagship store after the Yizhan Building." β
The term flagship store still slipped out of his mouth inadvertently when he was discussing those tavern inn things with Du Fengchi before. Yicheng is by the sea, and they have a good relationship with Qi Zhentao, a super sea merchant, and the meaning of this flagship is clear. After careful consideration, I feel that the mention of flagship store is very reasonable, and it has become a common saying for them. Dai Yuege heard Ye Tao say this and asked, "Are you really ready to enter Beijing?" β
"Into Beijing? It's not going to the exam...... It's just to open the store in the capital, what's all the fuss? β
Dai Yuege didn't speak, buried his head and continued to look at the drawings for a while and asked, "This is just a rough plan, is there a detailed map?" β
Ye Tao nodded and said, "Yes, I have done a set of drawings." After looking at such a picture, Uncle Dai, can you build such a building? β
This is just like when the factory building of Ye's Workshop, Zhan Yuan and Chun Nuan Residence were built, although at first glance it looks like nothing, but there are a lot of very difficult constructions every time. The workshops in Ye's workshop made him exhausted, and his hair turned a lot gray, but he also mastered many new construction methods. Those very interesting construction machinery made his construction team invincible when contracting general construction.
"No problem, it's not just for me to figure it out, you kid can't run away." Dai Yuege thought for a while and asked, "This piece of land is not cheap, right?" The price of land in the capital is hard to say. β
"Unfortunately, that Miss Zhuo happened to have some influence in the capital. Not to mention the ground, everything else will be paved. Otherwise, Uncle Dai, what do you think I have to do to wade into the troubled waters of the capital? Ye Tao said.
Dai Yuege put down the drawings and said: "If it is a small fortune, it is safe, probably IKEA plus Yizhan Building, it is already very good, right?" There are so many rich businessmen in Yicheng, you are very popular. But if you want to really become a wealthy family in Dongping, you really have to go to the capital to make a splash. Most of those wealthy families have today's development after decades or even hundreds of years, and if they want real estate and real estate, they want shops and shops, even if the shopping mall is temporarily frustrated, relying on their farms all over the country and the like, it will not hurt their vitality too much. There are also those that have suddenly developed in a few years, and those who look at it, one is courage, and the other is vision. Dai Yuege talked eloquently, and he had a bit of a taste of pointing out the world.
"Uncle Day? Could it be that you have put a special mind on these giants? Ye Tao nodded secretly, but said with a little ridicule.
"Wherever it goes, it's like doing business. You kid, maybe within this life, you can bring the Ye family to the realm of a wealthy family. In the past few years, your Uncle Dai has been a little blind, and I never thought that in so many years, I Dai Yuege would become a person who looks at your face and is doing business. Creation makes people. β
Ye Tao was a little embarrassed by Dai Yuege's words, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Dai, it's a little early, right?" Expanding the industry to the capital is not fun, but I think that I can quickly take root in the capital. The matter of building a house there is still indispensable Uncle Dai, but this time, I am afraid that I can't stop without a year or two of hard work. Looking for Uncle Dai today, and waiting for Du Fengchi, it is just for everyone to sort out the current career in Yicheng. β
After a while, Ye Laogeng, Du Fengchi and Ye Tao's senior brothers arrived one after another. The private room in the Ho Chao Pavilion is a great place to talk about things, at the end of the port, facing the sea. The sea breeze is cool, and I don't feel hot at all. After eating a little, Ye Tao talked about his thoughts and plans to go to the capital for development again.
"Go to the capital to develop? Why? Isn't it nice that we're just in Yicheng? "Ye Tao's third senior brother Zhao Dazhu is a little puzzled, in Yicheng, the Ye family is now smooth. Several of their brothers and sisters also have independent courtyards in Qingquan Village, although they are not as good as the Spring Warm House, and the difference is limited, they are all made according to their respective temperaments and the temperament and hobbies of their families. Zhao Dazhu is a relatively pure craftsman, and now he is very content with a house and a wife, children and horses, and a day when he has money to drink.
Ye Tao thought for a while and said, "We don't say anything else, just follow the words of our craftsmen." Brother Dazhu, you also know that just as a carpenter, what can be boasted about in a lifetime is that the work in his hand is liked by others and trusted by others. How many things can a carpenter, or any potter, blacksmith, make in a lifetime and sell them? Building a house and making a garden is no longer considered a carpenter's work, let's say carpenter's work, a carpenter, no matter how high the craftsmanship is, how many sets of furniture can be made in a lifetime? 20 sets? 30 sets? Most of the time, it's just tinkering and doing bits and pieces of work there. However, we became rich by selling furniture, did you think of this? β
Not only Zhao Dazhu, but everyone present shook their heads.
Ye Tao continued: "From the creation of Ye's workshop to the present, a total of nearly 400,000 pieces of various types of wood have been made, excluding those things made for the Yicheng garrison and sailors, there are 260,000 pieces of furniture. Other little things like marching chess don't count. How many households are there in Keyi City? 160,000 households. In fact, every household can be regarded as having something we do with it. In the first year, everyone watched and didn't know if things were good or not, and business was relatively light. But in the next few years, business has been pretty good. However, furniture and other things, when sold to this point, are basically over. I looked carefully at the accounts for the past six months, and the turnover increased by less than 10% every month. Moreover, judging from the whereabouts of the things sold, at least 4 percent of them went to other places, and even outside Dongping Kingdom. Excluding this part, in fact, IKEA's sales are gradually declining. However, at what price do our IKEA things sell in other places? A mirror-lacquered low table, not less than 5 taels of gold. The Great Wardrobe of Painted Gold - Everyone knows that only the two doors are painted with mirror lacquer, with bright lacquer on the top of the sides and only varnish on the back - 20 taels of gold are still priceless. In the capital, this is the price. The things that have been worked so hard to make, and the majority of the money earned are taken by others. This, a little unwilling, right? Moreover, this also shows that the development of IKEA has encountered a hurdle, if we do not develop outward, just guard the local market of Yicheng, how long can we do? Furniture is not clothes, it will be broken and changed often, even if all the furniture in every household is IKEA in the future, so what? β
Looking at everyone's thoughtful looks, Ye Tao stopped and said, "IKEA is going to the capital, but Ye's workshop is also split into the Yicheng part and the Beijing part." Distribute the capacity. Basically, both sides are still satisfied. After entering Beijing, the brand of IKEA does not have to be too loud, we are now the largest production and sales organization of wood and furniture in Dongping, and we do not worry about sales under the condition of ensuring quality. In the capital, as long as it can sell smoothly and gradually build up its reputation. And when going to the capital, it seems that what is more important is the matter of marching chess and playing the battle building. β
Everyone has seen the architectural plan drawn by Ye Tao for the flagship point of the capital of Yizhan Tower, which is no longer a building but a building complex. A three-story building will be used for the normal rules of marching chess, and the big fight rules of three sets of chess pieces, and in the future, an area will be opened up in it for phantom chess. A two-story building was used to conduct a game of chess, now maturing with rules known as "grand strategy". The other building is also two storeys high, but it consists of a soundproof game room and a column-free hall that can accommodate more than 600 people at a time, similar to a modern concert hall theater, for chess game explanations. The last building is a separate game shop for the sale of chess products and peripheral products such as marching chess. The space in the middle of the four buildings can accommodate rows of tables and chairs, and a huge cloth parasol can be used for tea and chat.
This kind of imposing building complex is indeed extremely admired by everyone, especially the chess game explanation hall, which will not only set a series of records in the architectural history of this era and become a generation of classics, but also may be the first hall in this era to consider many acoustic principles. But everyone's scruple is that for the sake of a low-priced marching chess, is it too much to make such a large-scale building complex? If you throw away so much money, can you get it back?
When everyone raised this question, Ye Tao smiled weirdly and said, "How many people does Yicheng have?" How many people like to play chess? How many of them have been received in total? How many people have spent money on Yizhan Building? Do you have a number in your hearts? β
Speaking of this, Du Fengchi suddenly realized: "It turns out that what kind of membership card system do you have, which can be used for this?" β
Ye Tao nodded and said, "The population of Yicheng is less than one million, but it is actually only 700,000. However, there are often various caravans and fleets, and at most there will be tens of thousands of people. But among the 700,000 resident population, there are 17,000 members in Yizhan Building, and among the 17,000 members, 11,200 people have spent money in Yizhan Building. Among them, more than 9,000 people often come. This system is not perfect, maybe it is not much benefit to register as a member, and there are many other people who have come to buy things and rented chess pieces. Moreover, Yizhan Building actually surpassed IKEA in profits in the first few months. β
Ye Tao's words made everyone stunned. In this time and space, you don't have the concept of the game industry, there are hundreds of kinds of goods involved in Yizhan Lou and Yizhan Shop, and there is a trend of gradual expansion. Most of the people who do these small things are apprentices of Ye's workshop and newly promoted apprentices, like Ye Tao's senior brothers, who disdain to touch these "untechnical" things. Moreover, the quantity of each type of goods is not too much, except for the chess pieces and chessboards, everything else will take a long time to remake a batch, and everyone does not pay attention to it. However, it is the various things in the Yizhan shop, which have gathered trickle of profits into a surging river, and it is actually so powerful. Although every item sold, the profit is almost negligible compared to the furniture in IKEA, especially the very high-end series of furniture, but it can't stop the quantity. Moreover, the more you love marching chess, the more attractive these peripheral things become. In the end, I was eager to move the whole store back.
Ye Tao smiled and said, "I didn't expect it, right? Imagine how many people are there in the capital? If you run it well, how many people will spend money on it? You know, if you buy one or two things, you don't think it costs much at all. When the room is full and I don't see it right, I feel that I have spent too much money on it. Moreover, the things made in our Ye Workshop are of high quality, and I don't feel wronged after spending such money, what do you say? β
Ye Tao's explanation gradually dispelled everyone's doubts. Everyone began to recognize that Yizhan Building is really very promising. Buying land and building a house is not a problem for these people here, and because of the low cost of land and construction, although the cost of building such a complex is still considerable, it is not the era that Ye Tao came from, it is astronomical at every turn. Everyone figured out this section, and the discussion immediately became enthusiastic, and finally decided to temporarily let Ye Laogeng and Senior Brother Guan Haishan, and Fourth Senior Brother Qian Shun continue to stay in Yicheng to take care of Ye's Workshop, IKEA and Yizhan Building. The second senior brother Suo Yong and the third senior brother Zhao Dazhu took a group of students and some apprentices who were willing to go out to the capital to establish a branch of the workshop, IKEA and Yizhan Building. It turned out that Du Fengchi was called to let Du Fengchi take care of such a large number of people who went to the capital. After all, the Du family also has inns and hotels in the capital, and they are much more familiar. But Du Fengchi listened to Ye Tao's words, but finally made a decision and said that he wanted to open the flagship store of the Du family's restaurant inn opposite the flagship store of Yizhan Building!
Ye Tao was silent and looked at Du Fengchi. Good guys, what guts. I haven't seen any star-rated hotels these years, or I want the Du family to become a tycoon in this regard? Thinking maliciously, Ye Tao made a decision.
