It was not until he was almost at the mouth of the bay that Wan Feng remembered what he was going to do.
He wanted to go to Dongshan to check on Gu Hongzhong's home decoration and see if Wang He had made the budget.
If the renovation can be completed before the end of the year, let Gu Hongzhong move in. With a new home and a new environment, it may inspire him to come up with more fantastic dreams.
It is really inconvenient to not have a car, you have to walk up.
From the bay mouth to the top of the east mountain is a straight uphill slope, the distance is three to four hundred meters.
Wan Feng was actually sweating when he reached the top of the East Mountain.
Arrived at the dormitory area of Nanwan Factory.
In the small square in the middle of the community, seven or eight elderly people are exercising.
However, the exercise methods are not uniform and orderly. Some people do the hand-shaking therapy, while others wander around aimlessly.
These people should learn square dancing.
Get a tape recorder and play the 1987 craze disc, these people will probably be very happy.
Popularizing square dancing was not Wan Feng’s mission. He didn’t stay outside and went straight into Building 2 and went straight to the third floor.
The door of Gu Hongzhong's room was ajar, which meant there was someone inside.
There were indeed people in the room, and quite a few of them, including two other people besides Wang He and his son.
Several people were almost all concentrated in the kitchen and bathroom.
Wang He was gesturing with a man who looked like a bricklayer in the kitchen.
Seeing Wan Feng coming, Wang He greeted Wan Feng.
“Has the budget been prepared?”
"I'm just trying to see what price the bricklayer can give me, Master Tan! This is the owner of this house who wants to renovate it. I might not be accurate, so you can ask him if you have any questions."
This man named Master Tan must not be from Jiangwei, because he does not know Wan Feng.
"Is this house yours?"
Wan Feng shook his head: "It's not mine, I helped with the renovation."
"What kind of tiles do you want for the kitchen and bathroom walls?"
"They all use large white tiles. There are too many gaps between the smaller tiles, and it's difficult to clean them."
Next is the question of whether the tiles are good or bad.
Although tiles at that time did not have many styles and grades, they did have different prices.
Wanfeng selected the best tiles.
After the kitchen is finished, it is the bathroom.
The bathroom is quite small, only about three or four square meters in size, and it uses a squat toilet instead of a sit-down toilet.
The bathroom and kitchen have the same design.
The two bricklayers went to calculate how many tiles were needed.
"Let's not talk about the bricklayer for now. Have you figured out how much it's going to cost?"
"The wood for the floor and ceiling alone cost 300 to 400 yuan, and with the labor it would be at least 600 to 700 yuan."
The price is not expensive.
"I reckon a thousand dollars, including the bricklayer's fee, will be enough."
Wan Feng calculated in his mind that more than a thousand yuan would be enough.
"I'll give you two thousand yuan. Use good wood and excellent workmanship. This price can be used as a reference for future renovations for others. Of course, you don't have to use the same materials as me. Some people may need more common materials, so the price will vary. You'll know what materials are used for high-end renovations. Let me tell you, renovation is a very, very profitable business."
Wang He scratched his head: "I haven't found it yet."
"That's because you haven't done it before. After a few times, you'll know the ins and outs of it and be able to do it. The same house will look the same whether you spend a thousand on it or ten thousand. Just figure it out yourself."
Nowadays, decoration is relatively simple, and the decoration of Gu Hongzhong's house is considered luxurious.
There aren't many places that need to be renovated. The walls, doors, and windows won't need to be touched. Just lay the floor and put up the ceiling.
It doesn't cost much and the industry doesn't use much material.
In another ten or twenty years, there will be a lot of renovation work to do.
The doors and windows need to be replaced, and maybe even the walls need to be modified.
The doors and windows installed for you by the construction team naturally won’t be made of good materials, so they are just called doors and windows.
If the owner feels that the layout inside is unreasonable or unpleasant, he will destroy it.
This is not the main point. The decoration materials are also fancy and weird.
There are all kinds of prices, and the same decoration materials can cost from a few yuan to dozens or hundreds of yuan.
At that time, if you spent 20,000 yuan to renovate a house and make it habitable, then even if you spent 500,000 yuan to renovate it, you would still not have anything left.
Therefore, if you can do the renovation and include both labor and materials, you can just wait to make money.
Wan Feng did not tell Wang He these details, as he did not develop the habit of being a profiteer.
If Wang He had a good brain, he would quickly discover the secret here.
"Also, since you two have taken over, you can make the furniture as well."
Wan Feng started making a furniture list again.
A bed, a dressing table and a large wardrobe are essential in the master bedroom. There must also be a clothes rack and at least a double sofa.
"Will the sofa do it?"
Wang He shook his head: "I can't do it well."
"There's no need to make the sofa. Let's just wait and buy a ready-made one from the department store."
The bedroom downstairs is where Gu Hongzhong's children live. There is a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk for students to do their homework. I guess they don't need anything else.
The living room should have at least one double sofa, two single sofas and a coffee table.
There is only one small room left, which will be used as Gu Hongzhong's study.
Since it is called a study, it naturally has to have bookcases, a desk, and a chair.
Well, this is all Wan Feng can prepare for Gu Hongzhong. He will have to get anything else he needs himself.
Wan Feng made a list and handed it to Wang He: "How much do these cost?"
Wang He looked around and muttered, "Two large beds cost 250 yuan, a large wardrobe costs 80 yuan, a dressing table costs 50 yuan, two desks cost 120 yuan, and a bookcase... I've never made a bookcase before, so I don't know how much it costs."
"Just a touch will do."
"Then let's go with the price of the wardrobe, eighty yuan."
It costs 700 yuan, not counting the sofa."
"With handicrafts?"
“Including handwork.”
Including the sofa, the cost is estimated to be around 1,000 yuan.
"Can these jobs be completed before the New Year?"
Wang He began to count the days: "Chinese New Year is February 6th, and today is December 10th. There are still fifty days left, almost there!"
Wan Feng instinctively touched his pocket and remembered that he had no money.
Even though I had more than 100 yuan, it was snatched away by the female bandits to silence me.
"I'll send the money over later, and it would be best if the work is finished before the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month."
"Let's do our best, the mason will calculate and we'll get started."
Wan Feng was sweating all over when he came to Dongshan, but it was much easier to go back.
There was ice on the road from last night's melted snow, and it was a downhill slope. Wan Feng sang a little song while sliding down the stairs, and it was so smooth.
He almost had an accident once. If he hadn't hugged a tree on the side of the road, he would have fallen into a ditch more than two meters deep.
The man who hugged the tree was secretly thankful, but when he set out again, he found that his clothes had been torn into his down jacket and the duck or goose feathers inside flew out.
This guy had duck and goose feathers flying all over the place, and someone was dancing like a beggar. The scene was very spectacular.
