These past few days, Lu Yuan has been busy collecting and delivering lobsters. Before he knew it, the dozens of king crabs and Australian lobsters he had put in the pond had grown quite a bit.
Carrying a half-meter-long, twenty-pound Australian lobster, Lu Yuan nervously arrived at Yangfan Seafood Hotel, where the watermelon had been delivered earlier.
As soon as he entered, the lobster in Lu Yuan's arms attracted everyone's attention.
The hotel staff spotted Lu Yuan immediately and invited him directly into the seafood room.
"Twenty thousand! I'll take it for twenty thousand!" The somewhat balding purchasing manager held the lobster with trembling hands, examining it closely.
Haha, a 20-pound Australian lobster is already considered top-quality. For such a low price, the other party must think Lu Yuan doesn't know its value.
Seeing Lu Yuan about to take the lobster away, the other party panicked.
"No, no, no, brother, we can talk this over. I'll add some more for you, thirty thousand!"
"Fifty thousand each? That's fine! Deal!" That made sense. The previous twenty thousand was indeed too little. Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
"Ahem! Brother, you've got it wrong. I meant add 10,000, I'll buy it for 30,000!" The other person's face darkened. How could they raise the price like that? This isn't some old mine in Myanmar, and these lobsters aren't jade. How could they raise the price like that!
"That won't do. The items auctioned at the auction house before were much smaller than this. Mine are worth at least 50,000! I'll sell them if you want them, otherwise I'll leave!"
Finally, the other party gave in and paid 50,000 yuan to buy the lobster. Before leaving, they even told him that if he had any more top-quality seafood, he could send it over.
However……
Less than two hours later, Lu Yuan returned, having rented a refrigerated truck, which was loaded with seafood.
"This... Brother, are you kidding me! Why didn't you say you had so much earlier!" The purchasing manager was so angry that the veins on his bald head were throbbing, and he was just about to jump up and beat Lu Yuan up.
"Um...you didn't ask, so I can't say! Let's weigh it!"
"We can't use the previous price for this; let's go for the normal price!"
Lu Yuan also knew that the larger the seafood, the higher the price. Anything larger than what one usually sees is generally very expensive. For example, bluefin tuna. It is said that a well-off island nation once produced a tuna worth tens of millions.
However, if there are too many, the value will actually decrease.
After some discussion, the seafood was sold for 1,000 yuan per kilogram, while the market price is generally between 300 and 500 yuan. The size of these Australian lobsters and king crabs was clearly beyond the normal range.
Feeling great, 300,000 yuan arrived in his account. It seemed that building a house was no longer a dream. Thinking of this, Lu Yuan picked up his phone and dialed Du Heng's number directly.
"You can start now. I'll transfer 300,000 to you right away. You can go and buy the materials. I'll figure out how to make up the rest!"
After Du Heng received Lu Yuan's order, he started working day and night to produce the design drawings.
Although he didn't know why Lu Yuan wanted to build the house so sturdy, a perfectly good villa could have been built in a very luxurious and extravagant way, but Lu Yuan's idea was to make it as practical and safe as possible. He had put a lot of effort into this, spending his days at his desk, except when he went to the toilet. His desk was covered with all kinds of blueprints. This was his first order, and he wasn't thinking about how much money he would make, but about proving himself.
Upon arriving at Du Heng's "decoration company," Lu Yuan saw Du Heng, whose face was greasy and who reeked of sourness, sleeping on the table from afar.
"Cough cough!" It was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing Du Heng like this, I felt a little sorry for him. It was really difficult for him to complete the blueprints for a villa covering 700 square meters in three days, after all, he was the only one in his studio.
Hearing Lu Yuan cough, Du Heng slowly got up, rubbed his eyes and said, "Oh, you're here. The blueprints are ready! Construction can begin tomorrow. I've already contacted the construction company, and sand, cement, concrete, bricks, and all sorts of other materials are ready to arrive at any time. We're just waiting for your payment."
Lu Yuan was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that Du Heng could actually complete such a large amount of work by himself in just three days. It was simply unbelievable!
Lu Yuan picked up a blueprint and glanced at it.
"That's a rejected image; it has some minor flaws, so I passed on it."
"Um... what are all these?" Lu Yuan pointed to the blueprints scattered all over the table, floor, and sofa.
"Well, I ran out of A4 paper, so I did it on the computer. Come and take a look!" The other person stood up to get some water and opened the CAD software on the computer.
Lu Yuan ignored the computer desk covered in instant noodle soup and the chairs reeking of sweat, and began to carefully inspect every part of the room.
It must be said that Du Heng's skill level is quite high. He basically met all the requirements put forward by Lu Qian. The more than ten-meter-deep ground piles can better protect the house in the event of an earthquake. The entire house is reinforced with concrete and high-strength steel bars. The underground basement is also carefully designed to prevent water and insects. Moreover, it has a double-layered safety design, just like a submarine. If the outer layer leaks, the inner layer will still be waterproof. The three-meter-high basement can allow Lu Yuan to store a large number of items. The drainage system is also quite good. Even if there is a flood, as long as the double protective doors are closed in time, the basement will not flood.
The building above ground is a three-story building covering an area of 400 square meters. It is also a single-unit reinforced concrete structure. According to him, it can withstand an earthquake of magnitude 8 without damage. Moreover, the house uses a double-layer structure for the wall bricks, with an additional layer of heat insulation cotton on each layer. The back part of the exterior wall bricks is also coated with a lead film, which will minimize radiation.
