Chapter 078 Comrade Xu is a good comrade of Hong Miaomiao
Liu Rong frowned, then looked at Xu Guodong and asked seriously, "Comrade Xu, how much would it cost to renovate it properly?"
She listened to Rong Mei's advice. If the money for renovation was within her affordable range, she would definitely be willing to make the store look better.
After the installation, the grade is immediately raised, and it also provides a facade to attract customers. Of course, this will also eliminate a group of customers at the same time.
But isn’t it easier to do business with rich people?
Rich people live a more sophisticated life. Even when buying clothes, they are picky about the environment of the store.
So Rong Mei's suggestion was reasonable, and Liu Rong understood it immediately. But the main problem now was money. Without money, she would be restricted in everything she did.
Xu Guodong patiently explained to Liu Rong, "Aunt Liu, it depends on what you want to decorate and what your budget is. There is no limit to the cost of decoration..."
"Ah? So that's it." Liu Rong nodded, not quite understanding.
Although she could do the math, she had never done anything like decoration, especially the layout described by Rong Mei.
Then he turned his gaze to Rong Mei and said, "Then Mei girl, talk to Comrade Xiao Xu about how much it would cost us to decorate according to your method."
"Okay." Rong Mei nodded.
Look at Xu Guodong.
“Comrade Xu, this is what I think… She immediately talked to Xu Guodong about her idea.
First of all, a fitting room is a must. It is not like most private clothing stores where the problem can be solved by just hanging a piece of cloth.
Secondly, glass windows are also a must, which are more conducive to displaying the products in the store. Even if people pass by without buying anything, they must be able to see the styles of clothes inside at a glance from the outside.
Just because you don’t buy it this time doesn’t mean you won’t buy it next time.
There are also display areas and cashier counters. You can’t just hang clothes on the wall with forks, you have to customize hangers and place them in the display area to ensure that customers can pick them up easily. Setting up a cashier counter also makes it convenient for customers to check out.
Xu Guodong wrote down Rong Mei's ideas one by one. In the end, he became more and more interested as he listened. He couldn't help but took out a piece of paper and started sketching on the ground.
He pushed up his glasses and asked Rong Mei without raising his head, "Comrade Rong, have you studied design?"
The layout described by Rong Mei is indeed very creative, practical and reasonable.
Rong Mei was somewhat impressed by Xu Guodong's serious attitude towards work. Even though her project was a small one, no, it couldn't even be called a project, Xu Guodong could treat it so seriously and enthusiastically.
It can be seen that he truly loves design and is willing to take on any job, big or small.
"No, I just saw others pretending like this." Rong Mei shook her head and denied it.
Xu Guodong didn't insist on asking questions, he just asked casually because he saw Rong Mei talking very clearly.
He was more interested in discussing other decoration details with Rong Mei.
After drawing in a few strokes, he put away his pen, stood up, and handed the sketch to Rong Mei. "This is the layout you mentioned. I roughly drew it with a pen. See if you can understand it. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Liu Rong also came over and squinted at the picture on the paper.
The drawing was rather sloppily done, and Liu Rong couldn't make any sense of it after looking at it for a long time.
When Rong Mei described it to her, she could at least imagine it a little bit in her mind, but when she saw this sloppy drawing, all her imagination was gone.
Rong Mei took a quick look and found that it was consistent with what she described.
His eyes moved from the blueprint to Xu Guodong.
"The layout is fine, but what about the materials? Comrade Xu, do you have any channels to recommend?"
She and Liu Rong were both outsiders who were unfamiliar with the place. Going to the market to buy materials by themselves would not only be time-consuming, but they might also be ripped off. It would be better to ask Xu Guodong in front of them.
Moreover, Xu Guodong is affiliated with a government agency, so the work he takes on are all government projects, and he has channels and will be a large supplier with long-term cooperation.
Moreover, if you go through Xu Guodong’s channels, the price will definitely be cheaper than the retail price outside.
Even if the price is the same as retail, Xu Guodong can make a profit from the difference, Rong Mei is still willing to pay the same amount of money to let Xu Guodong make the money.
At least, she spent the same amount of money to get to know Xu Guodong. For people doing business, the most important thing is to accumulate connections, which is an intangible wealth.
You never know when it might come in handy.
Xu Guodong thought about it for a moment, then said to Rong Mei, "That's easy. The city guesthouse is being renovated these days, and it just so happens that I have the blueprints for it. I will tell the person in charge of purchasing materials for you. When you start installing, you can just go there and get the materials you need, and then pay the person in charge of purchasing at the purchase price."
The basic materials used for decoration are all the same, only some special requirements have to be purchased separately, such as the window glass required by Rong Mei.
"That's great, but I'm really sorry to trouble you, Brother Xu!" Rong Mei nodded excitedly and immediately changed the way she addressed Xu Guodong.
Xu Guodong didn't take Rong Mei's change of heart and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't take public money."
He wasn't such a stubborn person who insisted on keeping everything official, otherwise he wouldn't have come here today. Besides, the shop didn't need much materials, and they were all paid for anyway, so as long as they didn't embezzle public money, it would be fine.
Rong Mei chuckled, "That's absolutely impossible. We are all good comrades born under the red flag, and we still have some ideological awareness."
At the same time, I sighed silently in my heart.
As expected, he is Guodong. As soon as I heard the name, I knew he was a good comrade of Hongmiaomiao!!!
She was superficial. Not everyone would want to make money from this. She apologized to Comrade Xu Guodong in her heart.
Then he continued to ask with a smile, "Then can I ask what kind of floor tiles are used in the guesthouse?"
The floor tiles here are terrazzo floors. They look fine on sunny days, but become pitch black on rainy days. It would be great if floor tiles could be laid. Not only would the colors be bright and colorful, but the floor would also be easier to mop.
Xu Guodong answered without hesitation, "There are only two kinds of colored glazed bricks and colored small lattice bricks from Yangcheng. If you want, I'll take you to have a look. There should be extra ones. I'll give some to you. But in this case, you will definitely have to spend more money."
At the end he frowned and looked at Liu Rong. Wasn't Liu Rong's question just because she was afraid of spending too much money? He was not stupid, so he naturally understood.
It would have cost some money to install it according to Rong Mei's layout, especially the window glass. The other basic materials and labor costs were not very expensive.
But if you want to lay floor tiles, that would be another expense.
