225: What Style Do You Like? (6 More)
Kang Wei felt that his work was boring. Where did he work? He was in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications.
Is the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications accessible to ordinary people? Anyway, it is difficult for the graduates of Jingcheng Normal University to be assigned, and the majors are not right, and people will not want the students of Jingcheng Normal University. It’s hard to say whether Shangdu University will do it, but definitely not the Fine Arts Department!
The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications was a good organization. It became the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. Later, it merged with the Tobacco Bureau. If Xia Xiaolan could find such a good job in her previous life, she would definitely not be forced to become a salesman.
Gong Yang is envious, and Xia Xiaolan is also a little complicated. As soon as she graduates, the state cancels her graduation assignment.
In this life, she has caught up with the graduation assignment. If nothing else, she will be admitted to a better university than her previous life, but she is destined not to rely entirely on the work assigned by the state to make a living.
In the guest house of Kangwei's unit, no matter how bad the room is, it is up to the standard. Xia Xiaolan is used to sleeping in five-star hotels in later generations. She doesn't think that the two workers brought by Gong Yang and Liu Yong have never slept in such a soft bed. Early the next morning, Kang Wei came to pick him up again. Liu Yong asked the two workers to walk around the neighborhood and went to Kang Wei's house with Xia Xiaolan and Gong Yang.
Even Xia Xiaolan envied the location of Kang Wei's house, and she couldn't afford to buy a nearby house in her previous life.
The household clutter was basically emptied, and Kang Wei's family was not seen.
"My mother moved to my grandma's house temporarily, and she would move back when the house was renovated.
Xia Xiaolan nodded. She heard Zhou Cheng mention that Kang Wei's father died before he was born. Usually, only Kang Wei and his mother live at home. Although the Kang family's house is a two-unit one, there is no shortage of living room, kitchen and bathroom.
"Uncle, measure the size first."
Liu Yong took out the tape measure that he brought, and Gong Yang also took the initiative to help with the ruler to record the data.
The house is not decorated at all, and the condition of Kang Wei's house is not bad. Even the tables, chairs and benches are very old. Although the personal belongings have been moved, Xia Xiaolan can still see how careless the people who live here usually are.
The house is usually cleaned up by the hostess. Xia Xiaolan pointed to the piano by the living room before she could carry it away, "Auntie can still play the piano?"
Kang Wei lit a cigarette, "I don't play it much, I usually just leave it there and don't move."
Not only was the piano rarely moved, but Xia Xiaolan looked at the dirt on the exhaust fan on the kitchen wall, and felt that she might even use the kitchen less often. Kang Wei's mother is not a person who is too enthusiastic about life. She said that she is not exquisite, and she can play the piano. I don't play a lot, and I don't like spending too much time in the kitchen.
Xia Xiaolan walked around the house and walked to the balcony.
The apartment type of Kang Wei's house is that the kitchen and bathroom are on the right hand side of the door. The master bedroom and the living room should be right. The living room takes up the lighting on the front of the building, the master bedroom takes up the lighting on the other side of the building, and the master bedroom has a large balcony. The second bedroom is on the left side of the living room, and the area is also not small, and it also has a balcony. The overall shape is "back".
Xia Xiaolan thinks it's very easy to decorate. The current building is straight, and there are few obstructions at the front and rear. Except for the small windows, which affect the lighting, there are no other shortcomings. Houses in this area of Beijing generally have small windows, and double-layer thermal insulation glass is not popular yet. Such large windows will affect heating in winter!
Xia Xiaolan had a general idea in her mind and asked Kang Wei:
"Do you have a style you like? As for the idea of the decoration budget, you can explain what you mean, and we can give you a plan."
Decoration style?
Kang Wei felt that the decoration style of the clothing store was good.
But it's a shop, and it seems too bright to put at home.
Xia Xiaolan took a magazine and showed him examples of home improvement abroad: "It may not be able to achieve the same effect, many decoration materials are not easy to buy in China, and the apartment types are different. Your home is already big, but it still can't compare. Let’s learn from the style of single-family buildings abroad.”
Isn't Kangwei's house a big one? Liu Yong and Gong Yangliang have set the size. Kangwei's house has 69 square meters, which is not counting the living balcony of the two rooms. The balcony of the largest second bedroom is more than 8 square meters. Wrap it up to make a glass greenhouse or a piano room.
At this time, the house did not have any public stalls, and 69 square meters was the actual indoor area.
Kang Wei flipped through the magazine and couldn't make up his mind, and finally said:
"Be nice, but not like those restaurants, at least like a home?"
"As for the budget, do you have a rough standard in mind?"
After the house is finished, no matter the tens of thousands of quotations, Kang Wei will definitely give it. Xia Xiaolan is not ready to rip off, she has to know the psychological price of the other party, and then make a specific design and budget based on this price.
"Sister-in-law, I think your clothing store is very beautiful. How much did it cost?"
"Less than twenty thousand."
In fact, it cost 12,000 to start, plus Liu Yong posted 2,000, it cost about 14,000. Xia Xiaolan must not report specific figures to Kang Wei. This is Liu Yong's business. If Kang Wei wants to draw a gourd, Liu Yong will have no profit at all, and a group of people will come to the capital for nothing.
If Liu Yong doesn't make money, how can he pay the wages of his two workers, as well as room and board in the capital and round-trip train tickets.
"In this way, I plan to spend 30,000 yuan for decoration. If there is not enough money later, Uncle Liu will tell me directly."
Xia Xiaolan was not polite.
It’s normal for decoration to exceed budget. Whose decoration is not over budget?
Zhou Cheng took a suitcase last time, and there were probably tens of thousands of cash in it for Xia Xiaolan. She knew that these two people made money by flipping cigarettes, and Kang Wei was not short of money. 30,000 yuan in 1984 is really not a small amount. It is more than enough to buy a small courtyard in a non-prime area of the capital.
Xia Xiao
Lan knew it, Liu Yong knew it, and poor Gong Yang didn't.
This stimulated Gong Yang.
Gong Yang's college living allowance is 21 yuan a month, and he estimates that his salary after graduation will not exceed 100 yuan. 30,000 yuan to renovate the house? No wonder Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong wanted to bring people from Shangdu to work in the capital.
Leaving from Kang Wei's house, Xia Xiaolan and Liu Yong brought Gong Yang to the place where they sold building materials.
Beijing and Shangdu are just different. There are more shops selling building materials, and they have formed a small scale. The patterns of the tiles are richer than those of the merchants. Liu Yong asked a question when he saw a family, and wrote down the prices in a notebook. Xia Xiaolan took Gong Yang to see the real thing and wanted to draw it, so he had a general impression, right?
This kind of work couldn't be done in a day, and Xia Xiaolan spent two days in the capital.
On the third night, the rough design was drawn. I also discussed with Gong Yang how to draw, the color of the furniture, the style of the lights, and in 1984, there was no computer design, so it would be so troublesome to make a few renderings.
Xia Xiaolan and Gong Yang stayed up all night.
Gong Yang's eyes were like red rabbits, and Xia Xiaolan drank bitter coffee for the first time.
Liu Yong is also not easy, he has to make a budget based on the renderings made by Xia Xiaolan and the two of them, so that he can open a list for Kang Wei. The prices of the materials are all in Liu Yong's memory. Whether it can achieve the effect Xia Xiaolan wants within 30,000 yuan, Liu Yong has calculated and calculated.
"How do you calculate the wages of the two workers? You have to figure out how much the carpenters in the capital cost a day and how much wood they use."
#####The work is completed, Xiaolan can go to see the male ticket, this is the strong woman (#^.^#)
