Chapter 24 The best materials for decoration
The next day,
in the morning,
"President Chen, the people for measuring are here. They need you to go over and tell them your requirements for the renovation."
Shen Rou approached and said softly to Chen Mo, who was dozing.
"Oh, are they here? Let's go take a look."
Hearing this, Chen Mo became much more energetic. This renovation was related to how much System funds he could spend, so he had to personally supervise it.
He couldn't feel at ease leaving it to anyone else.
Especially Wei Yan.
"President Chen, this is the new workshop we rented."
Shen Rou led Chen Mo to the new workshop, her expression odd. President Chen hadn't even come to look at the place after renting it yesterday.
So much so that when he arrived just now, he still needed her to lead the way.
Chen Mo briefly surveyed the exterior of the new building. Like the company's workshop, it was a two-story concrete brick building, though slightly smaller than the company's workshop.
Pushing open the door and entering,
the interior of the building was very spacious, with no extra structures besides the necessary supporting pillars.
"This building was previously used as a warehouse, so it hasn't undergone any renovation or modification."
Shen Rou walked beside him, looking at the empty building, and explained.
She had already reviewed all the information about the new workshop last night.
"Hello, I'm a designer from Shangmei Decoration. You must be President Chen."
A woman suddenly walked over and said politely.
At the same time, designers from other companies in the building also came over.
Chen Mo nodded in response, lifting his eyes to look at the people gathered around. There were more than ten of them.
"Why are there so many people?"
He thought there was only one renovation company.
"That renovation software works like this. As long as you upload the information, many renovation companies will receive the information simultaneously."
Shen Rou answered truthfully, her expression a bit awkward.
She had only found out about this last night. After uploading the information yesterday afternoon, she received calls from countless renovation companies after work, so much so that her boss criticized her during her part-time job.
After returning home and looking into it, she learned that the uploaded information was shared, and any renovation company registered as a member on that software would receive the uploaded details.
And these more than ten people in front of her were the result after she filtered them; otherwise, there would be even more.
"Hmm, it's good to have more people. This way, we can choose the one with the highest price."
Chen Mo muttered unconsciously, a smile appearing on his face.
The highest price?
She must have misheard. It should be the lowest price.
Shen Rou listened to Chen Mo muttering aloud, her expression puzzled, then she shook her head.
"President Chen, what are your renovation requirements? You can tell us, and then we'll have a direction when making the design drawings."
The female designer spoke again.
"Okay."
Chen Mo nodded and began walking around the Room.
"The first floor will be built as a canteen. For the safety of the employees' meals, the first point is the issue of paint. Safe and environmentally friendly paint must be used. Price is not an issue, but the paint must be selected to have minimal harm to the human body."
"The second point is tiles. The canteen can be considered the company's facade, so large brand tiles must be used."
"The above points are the primary requirements. You must remember them."
Chen Mo emphasized, then walked to the innermost area and gestured with his hand.
"This area will be used for cooking and preparing meals. As for the specific details needed, a chef will communicate with you later."
He continued walking.
"The remaining area is the dining area for employees. There aren't many requirements for this, but space can be left on both walls. I plan to install two large screens so employees can watch TV and relax while eating."
"Oh, and central air conditioning needs to be installed. Both the first and second floors need it."
Chen Mo said with a sudden realization. He had almost forgotten about the air conditioning, which was a large expense.
"As for the restrooms, washbasins, and other basic facilities, I won't say much. The only point is that they must be branded. I don't want things to break after not being used for long."
A group of designers followed behind Chen Mo, holding sketches and constantly recording the requirements Chen Mo mentioned. However, everyone's eyes were filled with amazement.
This was the first time they had encountered a boss who was so considerate of his employees.
Wang Yang was also mixed in the crowd, and his sketch was already filled with annotations at this time.
Thinking about the requirements just mentioned, he couldn't help but praise, this boss is really too good to his employees.
He even installed air conditioning in the canteen. One should know that their design department didn't have air conditioning; they worked with fans every day.
Chen Mo didn't pay attention to the expressions of others but came to the stairwell.
"I plan to wrap these stairs, covering the outside with a layer of solid wood, so that if someone falls, it will be safer."
"As for upstairs, I plan to create a leisure and entertainment Room for employees. Employees can come here to relax and have fun after work."
Arriving on the second floor.
The layout was the same as the first floor.
"The entertainment Room must have entertainment facilities. I plan to install two billiard tables, a ping pong table, arcade machines, and also place a few massage chairs. Employees can come over to get a massage and relax when they are tired."
"As for how these facilities are arranged and placed, that's your business."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he went downstairs and left directly.
All the requirements had been stated. The rest was to select the one with the highest price among these designers.
Shen Rou followed behind, her eyes flickering. She knew Chen Mo was good to his employees, but she hadn't expected it to be this good.
Just the facilities mentioned for the entertainment Room were already a large expense.
…………….
Two days later,
Cheng Lin Decoration,
Wang Yang sat in front of the computer, completely relieved. The completed floor plan and quotation had finally been finished and sent out.
"Finished. Let me see how it is."
A designer came closer to the computer desk.
"Not bad, the floor plan is well done, can't find any faults."
"What about the quotation? A canteen renovation shouldn't be too expensive, right?"
The designer curiously clicked on the quotation and then frowned.
450,000.
A simple canteen renovation actually came out with a quotation of 450,000. Are they crazy?
Then he opened the quotation list and took a look.
He finally understood why the quotation was so high. Paint, tiles, lights, and all other supplies were all big brands, and the prices were very expensive.
These alone were not enough to reach 450,000,
the most absurd thing was that it was equipped with more than 100,000 worth of central air conditioning.
He had done company projects before. Generally, when companies requested central air conditioning, it was almost just for show. For an area of several hundred square meters, only one low-power air conditioner was installed, costing less than 10,000, and there was little difference between having it on and not.
"Xiao Yang, your quotation is too high. You should revise it, otherwise, it won't be selected."
The designer said earnestly.
"But I've already sent it."
Wang Yang said.
"Moreover, this quotation was made entirely according to the requirements of the boss over there."
The designer sighed and patted Wang Yang's shoulder.
"Kid, you're still too young. Although the client made so many requests, in the end, it still depends on the price."
This kind of thing was experience he had gained step by step from making mistakes. Clients would adamantly demand using big brands for renovation, but their minds would change when they saw the quotation, and they would choose the cheaper quotation and materials without hesitation.
