Chapter 514 I don’t care, this matter must be settled today
Brother Dong and Sister Dong were completely conquered by the style of the living room.
They were people who had seen the world and had visited many wealthy families. At that time, they envied the beautiful furnishings in other people's houses. But now, seeing the style of this courtyard house, the ones they had seen before were rubbish.
Brother Dong and his wife kept their mouths open all the time, and they found everything new and beautiful.
After looking at the ceiling, I looked down and saw the original color floor painted with varnish. There was a simple cabinet against the east wall. The small compartments on it could be used to place various small ornaments. There was also a reserved space that seemed to be able to place a TV.
Against the west wall, there is a set of fabric sofas that I have never seen before. The largest one is in the middle, which looks like it can accommodate four people. One person can easily sleep on it. On both sides are two single sofas of the same model.
In front of the sofa is a coffee table that matches the furniture.
Although there are not many decorations in the house, they are enough to make Brother Dong and his wife envious.
Li Xiang saw through their thoughts at a glance and took the opportunity to take them to see several other bedrooms, and finally the dining room and kitchen.
Only when they arrived in the kitchen did Li Xiang explain the floor heating again.
Brother Dong and Sister Dong were stunned when they learned that the heat in all the rooms came from this one place.
This is amazing. Just by burning one stove, all the rooms can be heated up. This way, a lot of money can be saved on buying coal every year.
However, I felt something was wrong.
"Li Xiang, you just said that the kitchen stove can power all the floor heating, which can indeed save a lot of resources. But in the summer, the house is already hot. If you light the stove while cooking, won't the house become a steamer?"
"As expected of Brother Dong, you look at things carefully." Li Xiang flattered him before continuing to explain:
"Don't worry about that, Brother Dong. There's a gap on one side of the stove. In the summer, you just need to put a thick piece of iron in there to block the heat. The room won't be hot at all."
Brother Dong nodded repeatedly after hearing this. This is amazing.
He excitedly grabbed Li Xiang's wrist.
"Li Xiang, you're not kidding me. I like the decoration style and floor heating of this house."
Li Xiang saw that the big fish was about to take the bait, and while he was secretly happy in his heart, he still did not forget to flatter on the surface.
"That's right. When I saw this house, the first person I thought of was Brother Dong. Your yard has a similar structure to this quadrangle courtyard, and it can be decorated like this. If I had a house like this, I wouldn't even want to go out. I'd just want to stay at home every day."
Now that the big fish has taken the bait, the next step is to negotiate the price. Li Xiang plans to let Brother Dong take the initiative to propose the renovation.
After all, the principle that going the extra mile is not a good business has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. In Li Xiang's heart, this is the truth.
I don’t know if Brother Dong was moved by these words, but Mrs. Dong couldn’t help herself.
Her husband often uses work as an excuse to go out early and come back late. If the house is decorated like this, Brother Dong will feel comfortable and maybe he won't come back so late.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Dong tugged at Brother Dong's sleeve, her eyes indicating that she wanted to go out and talk.
Brother Dong followed his wife into the yard. Mrs. Dong whispered, "Old Dong, I've decided to renovate our house like this, and the yard should be the same."
In fact, even if Mrs. Dong didn't say it, Brother Dong had already made up his mind to renovate the house.
"Well, this decoration style is indeed very special and practical."
When Mrs. Dong heard Brother Dong say this, she became even more anxious: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and find Li Xiang to settle the matter?"
Brother Dong looked at Mrs. Dong's anxious expression and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so anxious? You're deciding this before anything has been discussed yet?"
Seeing this, Mrs. Dong pushed Brother Dong into the living room.
"I don't care. This matter must be settled today."
Brother Dong was pushed by Mrs. Dong and came in front of Tan Chen and others.
Now that he has chosen her, he doesn't plan to beat around the bush.
"Li Xiang, this room
Your sister-in-law and I both like the decoration style of your house. I wonder what your decoration process is like?"
Seeing this, Li Xiang first glanced at Tan Chen.
Tan Chen nodded slightly at Li Xiang, indicating that he could speak first, and if there was anything to add, he could speak later.
Li Xiang told Tan Chen the plan he had discussed with him long ago.
"Brother Dong, we are renovating the house on a contract basis."
"Contracting?" Although Brother Dong was familiar with this term, he was still curious about the details.
Li Xiang continued to explain, "First, we need to take a look at the condition of your house and the extent of the renovation and decoration required. Finally, we will make a price, include all the materials and labor, and complete the project on time. We will also sign a formal contract."
Brother Dong slowly absorbed what Li Xiang said, then asked, "My yard is similar to this one, and the room structure is basically the same. If I decorate it in the same style, how much will it cost and how long will it take?"
Li Xiang couldn't answer this question. After all, Tan Chen had made the budget but hadn't told him the specific cost.
He looked at Tan Chen for help.
Seeing that Brother Dong was a straightforward person, Tan Chen didn't intend to drag things out.
"Brother Dong, you've just seen the renovation of my house. The cost must be quite high. The material and labor costs combined must be over 20,000 yuan.
The exact price will be determined after we have seen your house."
