Chapter 65: High Costs
It was almost noon when Tenzin Jebu came, and he came after learning the news of Lao Liu's return from the workers' phone calls.
After a period of greetings, Lao Liu told Tenzin Jebu about the preparation to renovate the bungalow behind. Unexpectedly, Tenzin Jebu was very supportive.
"Brother Liu, I think this proposal from your uncle is very good!"
Looking at Lao Liu's eyes, he explained: "If the fifteen bungalows in the back are all used as single rooms, it is indeed a bit of a waste. But if you convert it into a guest room, it will increase your income once you have guests. According to Mr. Mo, if your bungalows are converted into standard rooms with independent bathrooms, a room can give you a net profit of at least 300 yuan a night. Of course, the first condition is that you can get customers to stay at the hotel. ”
Tenzin Jebu hesitated a little and said: "I heard from a friend that recently there has been a kind of stargazing room specially used for stargazing in several villages over there in Bayi, well, it is not a room-like room, but a small stargazing room shaped like an egg, the upper half is transparent glass, and the lower half is a double recliner or bed. My friend jokingly called this stargazing room a 'stargazing egg cabin'. However, my friend said that this kind of stargazing egg pod is very popular with tourists, and a B&B he knows of that specializes in this kind of stargazing egg pod is full almost every night. ”
After a pause, Tenzin Jebu said with some disdain: "In terms of scenery, I admit that there are indeed no attractions that can be grasped on our side, except for Nianqing Tanggula Mountain and Namco on the other side of the mountain, which is much worse than Bayi's side." But when it comes to stargazing, if you count the entire plateau, the places that can be stronger than ours here, except for the Gar Astronomical Station in the west, I am afraid you can count our side. Let me tell you, the Holy Elephant Gate on the other side of the mountain is a top stargazing location, and if you can build such a stargazing homestay here, the business will definitely be booming. ”
Tenzin Jebu's words made Lao Liu moved.
However, Lao Liu knows that the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, Ruth has to walk step by step, it is easy to hold on to eating too much, and it is easy to pull when the steps are big.
So Lao Liu said as soon as he sighed: "Brother Jeb, wait for the stargazing room, you can estimate for me first what the budget will be if all these fifteen rooms are converted into guest rooms?"
Tenzin Jebu said: "Brother Xiao Liu, I'll say the ugly words in front first. If it is renovated, it will have to go according to the market price. Your kind of transformation is not within the scope of the state's policy subsidies, and I can only give you some preferential treatment on the basis of the market price. ”
"That's no problem!" Now that the decision has been made, Lao Liu has always been an unambiguous person.
"How big are you going to make a separate bathroom?
"My plan is to be one and a half meters wide and about three meters long. The bathtub is not required, as long as the shower is sufficient, there is a wash basin and toilet, and there is also a ventilation fan. Of course, you'll have to help me with the water, electricity, and sewers. ”
"Well, these bungalows of yours are all rooms six meters long and four meters wide, and the bathroom is placed on the side of the door, except for the width of the door, it is completely okay to make it three meters by one and a half meters, and it does not affect the usable area of the guest room. Tenzin Jebu said as he took out his phone, opened the calculator and began to calculate.
After a while, he said: "To renovate such a bathroom, I suggest that you don't use glass partitions, I'll make you a two-four wall, do a good job of waterproofing and paste wall tiles, the cost is similar to that of glass partitions, but the service life is long, that is, the transformation takes more time." ”
"That's fine. You're an expert, you're in charge. "Lao Liu is very simple.
"Well, then I've roughly calculated, toilets, wash basins, lamps, wall tiles and floor tiles, you can buy them yourself, I only do waterproofing, sand and gravel, suspended ceilings, water and electricity, sewers, showers, if I want to all-inclusive, a square meter has a minimum of 3,000 yuan, a bathroom is four and a half flat, a total of 13,500, fifteen rooms...... Well, that's two hundred thousand and two thousand five. I'll wipe you off the lead, 200,000 yuan! If you ask me to buy toilets, wash basins, wall tiles, floor tiles, and lamps, I can give you the purchase price. ”
Lao Liu looked at his uncle, and when he saw that his uncle made a look, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Jeb, I'll discuss it with my brother-in-law." ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Tenzin Jebu didn't care, and turned around to inspect the workers' work.
"Damn, it's expensive enough. Seeing Tenzin Jebu walk into a room, the uncle smacked his lips, "If you are in Tianqu, if you don't count the materials and light work, one square meter will be at most 700 yuan, which is still a very good decoration grade." The light industry here alone costs 3,001 square meters, even if you add the cost of renovation and the cost of going down the sewer, this is a bit outrageous. If you count the wall tiles, floor tiles, toilets, and wash basins, this one toilet will have to add at least several thousand. ”
"Uncle, can you be sure that if you decorate a bathroom in Tianqu, the light industry will be about six or seven hundred and one square meters?"
"Well, this is still a relatively high-grade price for decoration. ”
Lao Liu nodded, and finally decided: "The price of three thousand and one square meters is really not expensive here." It's only four or five times the premium, which is already very conscientious. Uncle, this is not as good as our Tianqu, this is the plateau! In the plateau, unless it is in a densely populated town, if we say that we are doing a project in a remote area like ours, building roads, building houses, etc., the cost is five times higher than that below, which is the lowest starting price, and in some more remote areas, even if the price is ten times higher than the price below, sometimes it will lose money! This is really no way, there are too many restrictions. ”
"Damn, so outrageous?" Tian Peng on the side was also surprised.
"Yes, it's that expensive. Everything is expensive here, and the cost of living is very high. You must not compare the price below with the above, then there is no comparison at all. Brother Peng, how much do you have to make up a tire below?"
"Look at what kind of tires you have. If it is a family car, it is 15 yuan to make up a tire, and a few are 10 yuan. ”
"Then do you know how much it costs to repair a tire here? Let me tell you, it is a family car to repair a tire in Sunshine City, which is usually thirty yuan. If it is in those remote areas, it will take at least seventy or eighty or even more than 100 to make up a fetus. I heard that on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet line, some very remote car repair shops repair tires once, and 300 yuan is a friendly price. Like the Hoh Xil we walked through before, if you want to repair a tire in that kind of no-man's land, it is not uncommon for you to have five, six, or eight hundred! Even if it is here, it will cost at least fifty yuan to repair a tire!"
A few people smacked their tongues together.
Mo Long smiled bitterly: "I understand why people want this price." According to what you said, the price that people want is really not expensive. ”
"Uncle, then let's settle it like this?"
"Well, that's it, do you have enough money?"
"That's enough, my dad gave me 500,000 yuan before, I didn't spend much, counting my savings, there are still more than 600,000 on the card, it's enough. ”
"Then let's do it!"
