Chapter 003: Renovation Turmoil

"Liangdan, what do you think of opening a hot pot restaurant here? Whether it is from the location, environment or transportation, is there any major problem? Then you have to calculate carefully, if you can do it, how much do you have to vote?" Han Ming pointed to the venue and said to Huang Hua.

"Yes, you design it well, make a budget and see if it's worth investing", Yang Xukuan also said to Huang Hua.

Huang Hua thought about it, then looked at the surroundings again and touched his bald head, "What do you probably think?"

"Well, that's right, we're going to use this as a kitchen, we're going to build a garden here, and we're going to build a new staircase here, and then a new office ...... on the third floor," the three of them chatted and immediately began to discuss on the spot.

"I think this place is good, although the location is a little biased, but after all, it is connected to the main road, and the internal environment is elegant, the building also has a nostalgic industrial style, I believe that if it is really made into a hot pot here, it must be very alternative and very artistic, I think you can give it a try, as for the amount of investment? If you do it according to the design scheme we just said, I initially estimate that the decoration and equipment should be about one million. Huang Hua finally came to a conclusion.

"What, one million, are you sure? I still think about how to get about two million, if it is really one million can be done, then the funds are enough, and you can make a decision now", Han Ming's face was full of excitement.

"Yes, it's only one million, is it enough?" Yang Xukuan also looked at Huang Hua with a face of disbelief.

"Hey, you don't believe me, I'm a professional, if I don't change or add anything according to the general plan just said, I can guarantee it up to 200,000 at most!", Huang Hua patted his chest and said loudly.

Han Ming thought about it, glanced at Yang Xukuan again, and finally gritted his teeth, "Huang Hua, I'm relieved to have your words, it's decided, let's go and sign a contract with Mr. Fang now, Huang Hua, you start measuring the size now, and then go back to do the design, the sooner the better", after speaking, Han Ming called Yang Xukuan to go next door to find someone to sign the contract.

Seeing that Han Ming was so anxious, Huang Hua shook his head and smiled, then opened his backpack and took out a tape measure and began to measure.

A month passed quickly, during this period, Han Ming, Yang Xukuan, Huang Hua kept meeting and exchanging, discussing, running the scene, looking at the materials, and constantly modifying the design plan, with the design plan slowly matured, the preliminary preparations for the decoration of the hot pot restaurant have all been ready, and finally, after a simple start date, the hot pot restaurant project was officially launched.

In addition to the several major shareholders who have been determined, Han Ming began to crowdfund small shareholders in his circle of friends, and it didn't take long for the shares to be full, you think, these friends of Han Ming usually have to eat, instead of going to other places to eat, it must be convenient to go to the restaurant where they also have shares, and they are also shareholders with face, not to mention that not only can they sign discounts, but they can also pay dividends at the end of the year, and the investment amount is not large, which is much more cost-effective than going to other restaurants to get a VIP card, so within a few days, all shareholders and funds will be in place。

Everything began to proceed in an orderly manner according to the plan, after the start of construction, Huang Hua was responsible for the on-site management and arrangement to guide the workers to construct according to the drawings, Yang Xukuan was responsible for the purchase of materials according to the progress of the project, and Han Ming was responsible for all logistics coordination and fund management.

Soon after the start of construction, some small shareholders who were relatively free for a relatively free time also came to the scene from time to time to check the "industry" they had also invested in, and actively participated in some auxiliary errands.

Shen Hu, Lao Su and Lao Li are making audio equipment, and they are responsible for the sound project in the later stage of the hot pot restaurant, of course, Shao Ye and the fifth brother also came during this period, but they just watched the progress of the project and chatted.

The project is going smoothly, the construction site is in full swing, five or six large and small shareholders come in and out every day, work together, drink tea and chat together, and live a very happy life. But soon, trouble came.

On this day, Han Ming and Yang Xukuan were discussing on the construction site what materials to use to decorate the roof of the new steel frame, Mr. Fang came, and Mr. Fang was the person who rented the space to Han Ming, one of the persons in charge of Party A in the park.

Mr. Fang is in his fifties, dark and thin, with a wrinkled face, he looks older than his actual age, and he is usually polite to the people in the hot pot restaurant, always with a smiling face, but today he has a gloomy face, full of unhappiness.

"Mr. Han, Mr. Yang, you are going to stop work, and you must stop immediately, otherwise, your losses may be greater", Mr. Fang said coldly with a gloomy face.

"Stoppage?Mr. Fang, you won't be teasing us, right?" Yang Xukuan asked with a hippie smile.

"How can I tease you, it's true, the leaders of our group and the leaders of the Planning Bureau came to the park today to inspect and saw your steel frame on the top of the first floor, and I heard that the top surface of the first floor is going to be changed into a business area, so I suspect that the top surface of the first floor is not load-bearing enough, in order to avoid accidents, so I want you to stop work immediately and demolish it within a time limit", Mr. Fang still said coldly.

"No, your leaders are just suspicious, and they want us to demolish it? Is there any basis? Mr. Fang, our renovation plan has been reported to you for inspection before? How can you say stop and stop?" Han Ming said with some indignation.

"Your decoration plan does not indicate whether the load-bearing is enough, how can we see it? What if something really happens? Unless you can find a written report from an authoritative design unit or a building inspection agency to prove that there is no problem with the load-bearing, but there must be an official seal, an authoritative organization, otherwise, you can only demolish, don't blame me for not reminding you, hehe, I know that Mr. Han and Mr. Yang are very capable, and there will definitely be a way, hehehehe" , Mr. Fang suddenly laughed gloomily, revealing an expression of waiting to see a good show.

"Within a month, if there is no relevant report, no matter how far you have built, the roof on the first floor shall not be used, and the steel frame must also be removed, and the loss will be borne by yourself.

On the construction site, Han Ming looked at Yang Xukuan, and then at Huang Hua, "This old party is really insidious, don't say it at the beginning, wait until we are all set up, and then come to this trick, how can the construction be changed to this extent, if you really want to change the plan, it is equivalent to all the previous investment is invalid, and this kind of loss is absolutely unbearable."

"Well, it must not be changed, and there is no need to change it, this roof must be able to bear these weights, I have specially considered it when designing, all the new steel columns are standing on the original concrete columns, and there will be absolutely no problem with the load-bearing, the problem is that I don't have this qualification, and it doesn't count", Huang Hua said with a depressed face.

"If you don't ask Xiaoya, she should have a way. Yang Xukuan suddenly said.

"Xiaoya? mmmm, yes, yes, yes, she works in the design institute, she must know the relevant structural engineers, please ask her to help find one or two engineers to take a look, and then there should be no problem in issuing a report, well, yes, anyway, Xiaoya is also a shareholder, uh-huh, hey, I said Yang Xukuan, you are really a god, you can think of anything, hehe, hurry up, you can contact her now", Han Ming swept away the previous depression, and suddenly became happy and said to Yang Xukuan with a hippie smile.

It's really a coincidence, the little girl Yang Xukuan said, her real name is Cheng Nian'er, and she is also a classmate and friend of Han Ming and Yang Xukuan since childhood, and the relationship is very good, and she is naturally indispensable for a good thing like opening a hot pot restaurant, and of course she was also pulled by Han Ming to be one of the shareholders of the hot pot restaurant.

Sure enough, Cheng Nianer lived up to expectations, quickly found a structural engineer who was familiar with the hospital, and made an appointment to come to the site the next day to conduct actual measurements and inspections.

When Yang Xukuan handed the detailed written report stamped with the official seal to Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang looked at the report in his hand and was stunned for a long time, the expression on his face was ever-changing, and when he finally received the report in the drawer, he suddenly shook his head, and at the same time a headless sentence flew out of his mouth, "The water of these people is really deep, this kind of thing can be done" In fact, Mr. Fang didn't know that a small hot pot restaurant had twenty or thirty shareholders, and these twenty or thirty shareholders who were engaged in various industries and were in various positions had the collective energy that one or two people could have, which was the strength of the team.

After nearly four months of preparation and decoration and equipment commissioning, the hot pot restaurant finally opened, when the signboard of "No. 1 Building Old Hot Pot" was officially hung on the door, all the shareholders of all sizes could not wait to lead the company that had been publicized countless times by themselves, and invited countless times to various friends and customers to sit down and taste, the hot pot restaurant, the reason why it was named "No. 1 Building Old Hot Pot", is actually because the location of the hot pot restaurant happened to be the No. 1 commercial building in the park.

In the beautiful nostalgic industrial decoration style of the hot pot restaurant, in the authentic taste of Chongqing old hot pot, in the rich ingredients different from ordinary hot pot restaurants, and in the personal publicity of relatives and friends of different shareholders, "Building 1 Old Hot Pot" was an instant hit, and from the second month, it was numbered all day long, becoming the best restaurant in the whole park.
