Chapter 515 Don’t Underestimate Me
In fact, after Tan Chen renovated the house, he also overspent a little. Originally, he and Shang Ruoting planned to set the budget within 10,000 yuan, but when they started, they found that many unexpected details required money.
Now that the house has been renovated to this stage, it has cost more than 11,000 yuan. It is estimated that it will cost at least a few hundred yuan more by the time they move in.
Calculated in this way, the cost reached 12,000 yuan.
He also promised Li Xiang that he would give the other party 20% of the profit, and to be conservative, he mentioned a price of more than 20,000 yuan.
This price is very reasonable in the eyes of Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen.
When they heard the price quoted by Tan Chen, Brother Dong and his wife were obviously dumbfounded.
After looking around, they knew that the cost of the renovation was not low. When they decided to decorate in this style, they were prepared to spend a lot of money.
But I never expected that decorating a house like this would cost more than 20,000 yuan.
Although the family is not short of money, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount for them.
Fortunately, Brother Dong had some unconventional ideas in the past few years, otherwise, this amount of money would be impossible to come up with with their family’s salary.
"Isn't 20,000 yuan too much?" Brother Dong said with a hint of pain. You know, in this day and age, many families can't even afford to eat, and renovating a house costs 20,000 yuan...
This time, without Tan Chen saying anything, Li Xiang spoke first.
"Brother Dong, sister-in-law, you've already seen it. Apart from anything else, the pipes used for the floor heating were all custom-made at the steel factory, and the style of the furniture in the house is something no one else can make.
You are a well-informed person. If you calculate the cost of these materials, you will know whether 20,000 yuan is expensive or not."
After hearing what Li Xiang said, Brother Dong felt that it was indeed true.
As for the steel bars for floor heating, even if you have money, you can’t buy them without personal connections.
Think about all those new gadgets, this kind of visual impact cannot be achieved with just a little money.
"But twenty thousand yuan is indeed a bit much. Can we discuss it again?"
Tan Chen has the most say in this regard. After all, he knows the budget for materials and labor better than anyone else.
"Brother Dong, it's because you are Li Xiang's friend that I didn't ask for an exorbitant price. The prices I quoted are all realistic.
Besides, 20,000 yuan is probably not enough. I’ll have to look at your house before I can make the final decision.”
Seeing that Tan Chen's attitude didn't seem fake, Brother Dong gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, let's make an appointment to go to my house tomorrow and take a look."
Seeing this, Li Xiang quickly pushed Tan Chen and said, "Tan Chen, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go to Brother Dong's house to check it out."
Tan Chen nodded: "Okay."
After the matter was settled, Brother Dong and Sister Dong took another look around before reluctantly leaving.
Watching the two men walk away, Li Xiang excitedly grabbed Tan Chen and asked, as if to take credit: "Tan Chen, how is it? I said I could find the client and I definitely did."
Tan Chen didn't mean to discourage him, he just hoped that Li Xiang could be calmer.
"We won't know the outcome until tomorrow, so don't be too happy."
Li Xiang looked confident.
"Don't underestimate me. The people I hire must be able to afford this kind of money. The decoration style of your yard will attract everyone who sees it. As long as I can trick people into coming, I don't have to worry about them not paying for the renovations."
Tan Chen knew that Li Xiang spoke in a very coherent way, so he didn't continue to argue with him.
When Zhang Wenfu heard the stranger outside leave, he also came out of the house.
The work on the courtyard house will be completed in one day, and he plans to go back with his fellow villagers.
Having just heard what Tan Chen and the others were saying outside, Zhang Wenfu asked tentatively, "Tan Chen, if you succeed in contracting that family's renovation, can we still continue working?"
In fact, Tan Chen also planned to talk to Zhang Wenfu about this matter.
"Uncle, Li Xiang and I will go over to discuss this matter tomorrow. If it works out, I hope you and the villagers can continue to work here."
Zhang Wenfu was naturally happy to see that there was still hope of finding a job and that he could earn more money after going out.
He readily agreed: "In that case, I'll wait for your news tomorrow."
After explaining everything clearly, Tan Chen glanced at his watch and said, "Uncle, it's getting late. Let's go back first. I'll let you know tomorrow whether it succeeds or not."
The next day, the weekend, Shang Ruoting stayed at home with the little ones, and Tan Chen took Li Xiang to Brother Dong's place early in the morning.
He didn't come back until after six in the evening.
Looking at the unstoppable joy on Tan Chen's face, Shang Ruoting knew that the deal was done.
Tan Chen excitedly pulled Shang Ruoting's hand, obviously a little excited.
"Wife, the deal is done."
As he spoke, he showed Shang Ruoting a contract.
