Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 36: The Architectural Design Institute that Bends the Waist for Five Buckets of Rice
When the two of them came to the gate of the design institute, Cao Zhiqiang got off three rounds, and when he saw the signboard of the Beiping Architectural Design Institute, he immediately sighed.

If his memory is correct, and the history here has not changed much, then it should be in 1988 that the architectural design and research institute will get better.

The reason is very simple. At that time, the reform and opening were further deepened, and the era of large-scale construction came, and construction projects were everywhere. The design institute took on many large projects and received a large amount of capital injection, and life began to get easier.

But between 1980 and 1988, this period was really a particularly difficult period for Peking Design Institute.

In his previous life, he heard that during the difficult transformation period of the design institute, many old professors of the design institute went to the street to sell sweet potatoes in order to support their families.

There is also a young professor who actually pushes a bicycle out, just like the living decoration workers waiting on the streets in the later generations, painting walls and repairing doors for people to decorate, this is really drunk.

Of course, legends are legends after all, and Cao Zhiqiang didn't know whether the legends he heard were true or not.

So he came here this time to verify the legend.

If the legend is false, it is worth a visit to see what is fresh.

But if the legend is true, he intends to pick up the loopholes, no, poverty alleviation is not right, it is a win-win cooperation.

Well, in fact, Cao Zhiqiang just thought, if the legend is true, then quickly ask the people here to come up with a reliable decoration design plan for his newly bought quadrangle along the street in Jinyu Hutong, and let these people give him a design plan by the way. The house is engaged in renovation.

That's right, the design institutes in this period not only take care of the design, but also the actual decoration, that is, the real one-stop design and decoration, which is very awesome.

Think about it, my house was designed and decorated by the Design Institute, and it is the same as the Great Hall of the People, Workers' Stadium, International Exhibition Center, National Grand Theater, Wukesong Cultural and Sports Center and other awesome projects, and I will tell you later How nice is that?
Hehehe...

"What? Let us help design the small restaurant? And help you decorate it?"

After hearing Cao Zhiqiang's intentions, the middle-aged man who was in charge of the reception, wearing glasses and a Chinese tunic suit, who looked like a scholar, was very dissatisfied.

After adjusting his glasses, the middle-aged man with glasses in a washed and whitish Chinese tunic asked, "Do you know where this is?"

"I know." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Peking Architectural Design Institute."

"That's it." The middle-aged man said coldly, "This is the Design Institute, do you understand the Institute? And we are scholars and experts engaged in research and design!
Things like the Great Hall of the People, the Museum of History and Revolution, and the Workers' Stadium are all masterpieces of ours!
Therefore, this is not a place for cats and dogs to do shop decoration!
You have come to the wrong place! "

Cao Zhiqiang rolled his eyes and stretched out five fingers: "Five thousand!"

"You..." The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, and then said angrily, "What do you mean?"

"I'm talking about the design fee." Cao Zhiqiang said, "5000 yuan, I will buy your design. If it is a specific decoration, the cost of materials and labor will be calculated separately."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and continued to say angrily, "Who do you think we are?"

"The decorator." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"you……"

"Xiao Chen!"

Suddenly, an elderly man with glasses with Mediterranean hair came running over, and immediately yelled at the middle-aged man with glasses:

"Xiao Chen, what's the matter with you?
Designing the Workers' Stadium is to serve the people, but designing shops for the general public is not serving the people?
What are you thinking?Um?

Do you look down on working people? "

After scolding the middle-aged man with glasses, the old man with glasses immediately smiled apologetically at Cao Zhiqiang:
"Oh, little comrade, calm down, our little Chen, he, he...

Well, something happened to him at home recently, he's in a bad mood, and he's out of his mind, so don't be offended by that temper, don't be offended. "

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man with glasses said to the confused middle-aged man with glasses: "Don't you have something else to do, go do your work, I'll come here!"

"Director Wang, he..."

"Go, go, go!" Director Wang waved his hand, "What nonsense, go and do your work!"

The middle-aged man with glasses sighed and left angrily.

When he left, he could still see the arrogance and disdain from his expression and eyes.

Obviously, he is disdainful of the copper stench of the old man with glasses.

It seems that his whole body is emitting an idea: Bow down for five buckets of rice, and look down on you! He, tui!

As soon as the middle-aged man with glasses who didn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice left, the old man with glasses, that is, Director Wang, immediately smiled while pouring tea for Cao Zhiqiang, and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "Little comrade, my surname is Wang, and I am the director here. ,What's your name?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "My surname is Cao, Cao Cao's Cao, you can call me Xiao Cao."

"Okay, okay." Director Wang smiled, "Xiao Cao, I just heard that you said you would give five thousand? It's just a design fee? Materials and labor are not counted?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang said.

"How big is the house? What type of apartment? What is it for?" Director Wang asked.

Cao Zhiqiang said: "I bought a new house, it's not too big, the area of ​​the house is only 698 square meters, plus the yard is about [-] square meters, it's a typical three-entry courtyard house.

However, this house has been around for some years, and its appearance is a bit dilapidated. The inverted house along the street was connected to the courtyard with wooden planks and bricks privately, so that the courtyard once entered became the back kitchen, and the inverted house became along the street. facade room.

The front houses along the street are restaurants, and people live behind them, which is no different from the ordinary commercial and residential taverns and small restaurants along the street in those alleys.

In my opinion, this design is really bad, so I want to redecorate.

As for me, I want to turn the whole house into a restaurant, change it all to commercial use, and no longer live alone.

The requirement is to increase the space of the large dining room and add a few more private rooms without changing the original appearance of the main body as much as possible.

Once people come in, they must immediately know that this place is a high-end place, the kind that ordinary people dare not come to eat.

In short, this place is not for ordinary people, but for rich people and leading cadres, you understand what I mean? "

"That's it." Director Wang nodded, "What kind of cuisine does the restaurant serve? Or is it biased towards that cuisine?
Don't mind, I'm mainly thinking about the decoration style.

After all, different cuisines come from different places, and the decoration of the dining environment has different styles. "

"Sichuan cuisine is the main one, supplemented by Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine." Cao Zhiqiang said.

"That means there are all four major cuisines. It's a bit of a hodgepodge... Ahem, I understand." Director Wang frowned, "It's better to find some time, go to the field to see it, and then study it in detail. .”

"No problem." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "So, you took my case?"

"Yes, of course." Director Wang said with a smile, "Serving the people is a matter of course.

However, is 5000 yuan really just a design fee? "

"That must be true." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang got into his arms behind him, took out an envelope, and threw it on the table with a snap: "It contains 5000 yuan, you can count it.

But to put it bluntly, we have to sign a contract, and you not only have to be responsible for the design, but you also have to be responsible for the decoration for me later.

Of course, the decoration fee is calculated separately, and I will pay for the cost. Materials, construction, etc. are all yours. Anyway, it is labor and materials.

I don't care how you decorate it, as long as you make sure to decorate it with quality and quantity. "

"No problem! No problem at all!"

Director Wang glanced at the envelope and the banknotes scattered from the mouth of the envelope, and said with a smile: "How about this, you tell us the address of the house, it's best to set a time, let's go to the scene together, we will make an assessment, Come back with a design for you.

If you are satisfied with the plan, we will make a decoration plan and calculate the estimated decoration cost.

When you are fully satisfied, we will start the formal construction, what do you think? "

"Very well, that's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Then you can send someone out immediately, and I will show you the house now."

"Now?" Director Wang was taken aback.

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said indifferently, "Time is money, and we must do it right away. Who has the time to do foreign work with you?"

Director Wang blinked, and glanced at the envelope on the table again, and the banknotes scattered from the mouth of the envelope.

Suddenly, Director Wang slapped his hands fiercely: "Well said, right! Time is money! New people, new things, new styles! I, I will help you find someone, and I will definitely satisfy you!"
