Chapter 127 Bad luck

"Teacher Shi, I will trouble you this time."

After Liu Qinshu helped the two sides introduce each other, Chu Chen stepped forward and greeted each other respectfully.I learned from Liu Qinshuna before that Professor Shi has a high prestige in the field of architectural design, and generally does not accept private work.

The reason why he was invited this time was because Liu Qinshu knew him well, and because he wanted to accumulate some design experience for the two students he brought with him.Therefore, based on emotion and reason, Chu Chen would not neglect him.

"Xiao Chu, you are welcome. Your villa is very good. Such a large area is very rare. I heard Xiao Liu just now. Are you planning to remodel the yard? This is equivalent to a small garden I have designed it, and I would like to thank you on behalf of my students."

Because it is not far from Mr. Liu's side, he walked to Chu Chen's villa in a few steps. Professor Shi looked around outside and thought it was very nice.While his two students showed excited expressions on their faces, they envied Chu Chen for having such a big villa.

"Mr. Shi, you are really polite..."

Chu Chen stepped forward to open the door, and then invited Liu Qinshu and Professor Shi in.

Next, Chu Chen took them, starting from the gate, to the back of the villa, and looked at it carefully. Professor Shi looked at every detail in the courtyard while pointing the male student at the key position. Take a photo.

After looking around, Professor Shi said, "Xiao Chu, tell me what you think?"

Chu Chen thought for a while and said: "Mr. Shi, my idea is to transform this place into a feeling of greenery and close to nature, just like Mr. Liu's, where you can feel the tranquility and tranquility of Xiaoqiao Liushui. Relaxed lifestyle."

Professor Shi nodded, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "Well, I understand what you mean. Then do you want to renovate only the front yard, or do you want to renovate the surroundings of the villa together?"

"If possible, of course I would like to remodel it as well as the back, but if it is remodeled, is there any way to keep these trees, after all, they have grown for so many years, it would be a pity if they were removed!"

Professor Shi smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, don't worry, there is nothing wrong with these, but in that case, the price of renovation will be more expensive."

"Mr. Shi, what is the specific price?"

Professor Shi thought about it for a while, and said, "It is estimated that the renovation of the entire courtyard will cost around 500 to 500 million yuan, at most [-] million yuan."

Before Chu Chen could respond, Liu Qinshu said in surprise, "Ah, Teacher Shi, why is it so expensive now?"

Professor Shi smiled and said: "Xiao Liu, you should compare it with Mr. Liu's. It has been more than ten years since then, and the materials alone are much more expensive, not to mention the labor. The area of ​​Xiao Chu is also large, and I also calculate it according to the good materials used, if you think Xiao Chu is expensive, you can use inferior materials."

Chu Chen now has nearly forty-five million yuan in his bank card, which is more than enough for remodeling and decoration after subtracting the house money, so he quickly said, "No, Mr. Shi, just do as you say. Materials, to put it bluntly, the maintenance costs in the future will be enough for this renovation, so I might as well do it in one step."

Professor Shi nodded and said: "Okay, you can rest assured of the quality of the materials at that time, I can guarantee you for three years. In this way, I will ask my students to draw a sketch now, and if you feel uncomfortable Satisfied, let's discuss again."

Of course, Chu Chen couldn't wish more, so he quickly led everyone into the villa, and with the help of Liu Qinshu, he quickly cleaned up the tables and chairs, and handed them the drinks he had prepared before.

"Thank you!"

Professor Shi took the drink that Chu Chen handed over, took a sip, pointed out a few words to the female student who took out the drawing board, and then said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, let them draw first, let's take a look at the indoor part .”

Chu Chen asked, "Don't you have to wait for them?"

Professor Shi chuckled and said, "It's enough for them to be responsible for the design of the yard. I'm here, so I have to do something. Otherwise, it's not a gimmick."

Chu Chen chuckled, and took Professor Shi to each room to look over.

Professor Shi looked very carefully, carefully surveying each room bit by bit, and re-measured each room very attentively, without trouble at all.This point makes Chu Chen very admired. Perhaps it is because of his attitude that he can achieve his current achievements. This attitude is exactly what Chu Chen needs to learn.

But when he saw the last guest room, the careful Professor Shi frowned suddenly when he checked a wardrobe.Chu Chen, who was standing aside, was in a panic, not knowing what went wrong here.

"Professor Shi, what's the problem?"

Professor Shi put it on the closet and listened for a while, then said to Chu Chen seriously: "Xiao Chu, go and inform Xiao Liu, I suspect there are termites in here."

"termite?!"

Termites are one of the five major pests in the world.It is distributed on all six continents except Antarctica.

Termites are social insects that live in nests. They are sensitive to light and live in the dark environment of their nests and ant paths for a long time.It can eat all plants and some animal-derived substances. At the same time, the formic acid secreted in its body can also corrode steel bars and denature concrete.

The damage of termites to buildings, especially to brick and wood structures and wooden structures, because they are concealed inside the wooden structure or destroy their load-bearing parts, often cause the house to collapse suddenly, resulting in property loss and casualties, and endanger special buildings. huge.

Because termites are concealed, they never move in the open air except when they fly out in certain seasons. Most of their nests are underground and inside objects, which are difficult for people to find.By the time there are signs, termite damage is already quite serious.

Before that, Chu Chen saw a report in the Beijing Daily, saying that according to the statistics of the authoritative department, there are currently 8000 bungalows with an area of ​​25 square meters in Beijing that have been infested by termites.Unexpectedly, he was unlucky enough to encounter this, so he hurried to the living room and told Liu Qinshu about the termites.

"What? You have termites here?"

When the three people in the living room heard that there were termites, their faces changed drastically. Liu Qinshu quickly asked, "Xiao Chu, are you sure there are really termites here?"

"I don't know either. It was Professor Shi who told me there were termites and told me to give him the insecticide."

"Then it shouldn't be wrong. Professor Shi must be sure of what he said. We have to notify the property management of this matter."

After speaking, Liu Qinshu quickly took out her mobile phone and called the property management. After the call, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xiao Chu, don't worry, the property management will come right away. Let's wait at the door for a while."

The efficiency of the property is very high. Within 3 minutes, I saw a property manager rushing over with two staff members.

After arriving, after a few words, Chu Chen led them to the guest room.

"one two Three!"

According to Professor Shi's description, the two staff members were basically sure that there were indeed termites hidden in the closet, and then they discussed that once the closet door was opened, the other would spray termite-killing chemicals inside, and then quickly closed the closet door and covered it. for a while.

A few minutes later, one of the staff members opened the closet door and found a termite nest in the drawer of the closet. One of the staff members carefully took out the drawer and put it in a pocket that he carried with him. In the middle, another person sprayed the medicine again for safety reasons.

After waiting for a while, the two began to carefully inspect the closet and the surroundings of the room. After inspecting the room, the two searched the villa up and down, inside and out, and every corner carefully. No trace of termite activity was found. This result made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Professor Shi said: "This should be a house termite. Fortunately, these should have just migrated here. It is a blessing in misfortune."

The species of the genus Housetermes is the most serious termite species that damages buildings. It is characterized by strong diffusion, large groups, rapid damage, and can cause huge losses in a short period of time.It was Chu Chen's luck to invite Professor Shi, who has done some research on this aspect, otherwise, when the problem was discovered, the house might be completely empty.

While Chu Chen had lingering fears in his heart, he said strangely, "Why do I have termites here? Could it be that the previous owner brought them in?"

One of the staff members replied seriously: "Probably not, I saw adults with long wings in the termite colony, indicating that these termites flew over, so it is necessary to conduct a thorough investigation of the entire villa area to eliminate hidden dangers. "

Generally speaking, there are three ways for termites to spread, which are divided into "flying", "climbing" and "belt".

"Flying" refers to termites with long wings, which fly and land in buildings in groups to survive, and after several years of growth and development, they become new termite colonies.

Termites group into groups, most of which are mature groups, which can produce a considerable number of winged adults, and fly out of the nest from the "separation hole" in the spring and summer of each year to reproduce, and the male and female adults that fly out pair up to find a suitable place to re-establish A new generation of groups.

"Climbing" means that termites "climb" into buildings from underground through the ground and building pores to carry out harmful activities.

The colony is diffused by supplementary reproductive ants, and the termites can crawl from the nest or the original harm to another place to find food. When the conditions are suitable, the termites will move from the source to settle and build a nest.

"Bringing" means that people unintentionally bring termites from one place to another in various activities.

Mainly with the handling of wooden structures, packing boxes, garden trees, etc., the objects with the original ant damage and the termite colony are carried from one place to another. When the conditions are suitable, they can survive and survive in the new environmental conditions. Development groups, and rapidly spread and expand.
