Chapter 943 B&B Idea
Arriving at the lawn on the top of the slope, Guan Ma walked out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "I heard Tingting chirping from afar, so I knew you were here."
"Hello, aunt! Where is Uncle Guan?"
"Uncle Guan took your old Uncle Yan to buy goods." Guan's mother smiled and said: "It's just us and the three of us who have dinner today. Whatever you want to eat, auntie will cook it for you."
"I came today with a task assigned by Tingting. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat well if I don't complete the task." Zhou Zhi joked.
"What are Tingting doing to delay your brother?" Guan Ma scolded: "Your brother is busy!"
"Oh, it's just about the interview! Mr. Lu said he would let me go to his place to try it out today."
"Then let's eat first. After dinner, let Tingting show you the newly built basement." Guan Ma said: "You haven't been here since it's been repaired, right?"
"I'll take my brother to see it, and we'll have dinner when we come back after watching it!" Guan Tingting pulled Zhou Zhi and ran away.
After Zhou Zhi returned from the capital, he was attracted by the style of Demian Hall and commissioned the overseas designer Feng Cang to design. It took a year from the approval process to the final renovation.
In fact, it is the shape of the sunken patio that is not uncommon in later generations. The underground of Suihuaxuan was transformed into a basement. At the same time, the lawn behind Suihuaxuan was settled, which not only increased the usable space, but also satisfied the needs of the basement.
The lighting required.
When we came to the underground patio, it was arranged like a small garden. The most amazing thing is that one wall is a whole glass curtain wall. Behind the curtain wall is the previous fish pond with a stone pavilion with a corridor!
Sitting on the sofa here and looking at the curtain wall, it looks like an aquarium. Koi fish are swimming leisurely inside, and each one looks like a pig, big and fat.
The sunlight passes through the pool and then passes through the curtain wall and is projected onto the green plants in the patio garden, creating a changing effect of waves, making the small garden full of romantic colors.
This design is undoubtedly very advanced, but the effect is outstanding.
"It's so beautiful!" Zhou Zhi looked around the patio: "This money is well spent."
Except for the patio and aquarium, the other three sides are covered with stone walls, and the other two sides are showrooms with glass doors and a large library.
There is a bar, video room, gym, and reading area. In addition to being a place for collecting and appreciating furnishings, it also has considerable practical functions.
Behind the stone wall is a warehouse, where all collections that are not displayed can be stored centrally.
There is also an elevator here, which can be connected to the first floor and used for transporting goods.
The overall renovation did not touch the main body of the building. It just excavated the sides and erected columns, and then hollowed out the bottom of the building. This kind of renovation cost a lot, even more expensive than tearing down Suihuaxuan and rebuilding it, but Zhou Zhi would rather choose this.
Do.
It is said that the Italian designer highly appreciated Zhou Zhi's behavior, so he designed a particularly innovative design. He transformed a wall into the wall of a former large pool to create an aquarium effect, which was his "reward" for Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi sat in the "living room", looking at the koi carp and "lotus leaf forest" opposite, and felt that this designer was extraordinary.
Guan Ma came down with a large stainless steel plate, which contained breakfast, fried dough sticks, soy milk, eggs, and pickles: "I know you won't be able to get up after you get down. Tingting also likes to sit here."
"The night view is beautiful. When the lights are turned on at night, this aquarium is extremely beautiful." Guan Tingting said.
"Then I can't see it today. I have to go back to school in the evening and leave for military training tomorrow morning." Zhou Zhi said with a smile.
"I heard from Tingting that you started practicing in Jiachuan in advance?" Guan Ma smiled and said, "You are really thinking ahead."
"No, it just so happens that Marshal Fang's father is the Minister of Armed Forces. There are a lot of militia training materials at home. We just followed them and ran around randomly, practicing catching enemies and other things, but we didn't know if they would be useful."
Everyone started eating here, and Zhou Zhi looked at the surrounding environment: "The place is getting bigger and bigger, and it will be troublesome to clean."
"He's the boss," Guan Ma said, "There are so many little ones under there, you can't even find them if you hide them, so we raised sesame seeds."
This is indeed a problem. Zhou Zhi thought about it and said: "It is a house, so it must be occupied regularly, and we obviously can't live in so many people. How about we build a B&B and recruit some people to live in it?"
“B&B?”
"It's like a guest house, but it focuses on a friendly atmosphere." Zhou Zhi said: "We don't receive too many guests each time. The guests who come are treated like friends, taking care of food, food and accommodation. Here they can get enough comfort and relaxation.
.”
"Reception in this environment..." Guan Ma felt a little reluctant for Zhou Zhi: "Isn't it too wasteful?"
"You can choose your customers." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Select customers by price. If we all receive customers like Sister Qi and Brother Wu, I think it should be no problem."
Guan Ma then breathed a sigh of relief: "If guests like Xiao Wu and Qiqi are there, it would be more or less the same."
"How about giving it a try?" Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "It's just Guan Ma, can you spare the energy?"
"The work is similar everywhere." Guan Ma smiled and said: "Isn't the Chengdu Office equivalent to a guest house?"
"I heard that He Heng also assigned a car to Uncle Guan? Has Auntie learned to drive? If so, I will also assign a car to you, so that you can take care of both."
"Ah? Oh, how good is this?" Guan Ma was surprised and happy: "It's too expensive."
"If you want to run a B&B, you need a good car." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "In the future, there will be an image problem when picking up and dropping off guests."
"What to do with those things of yours?"
"The warehouse is at the level of a vault, so you don't have to worry too much about it." Zhou Zhi said, "It's just that the exhibition will definitely need to be set up here. Display stands and bulletproof glass covers will have to be installed. These may have to be customized from the capital."
"If we really do it, from now on we will receive people who are either rich or noble, and we need to pay special attention to privacy and security." Zhou Zhi said with a smile: "We can find a security company at that time, Brother Wu and his group are doing this business
Yes, in this way, even the place, people and things are protected."
Guan Ma nodded, thinking that Zhuzi's idea would be a good one. This place is so high-end now. If we can really take the "high-end route" that Zhuzi said, it would be a good way to expand our network.
If it can really continue to operate, I will manage this place for him. I am afraid that even the deputy director of the County Office in Chengdu will not replace him.
After breakfast, Zhou Zhi began to store the various odds and ends he brought from home.
Books and other less important things have been placed in the newly built library for Guan Ma and Tingting. Guan Ma also told Uncle Yan to put the important wooden boxes in the garage behind the original fish pond. Now they have to move them all.
Come to this serious "treasury".
The Demian Hall in the capital mainly stores Ming and Qing porcelain and furniture. It mainly stores calligraphy and painting, Song and Yuan porcelain, as well as fine Ming and Qing porcelain, as well as various cultural items.
Now that you have the idea of building a high-end B&B, during the storage process, you have to consider what items can be taken out to see people.
While tidying up and moving around the registration room, I continued to indulge in appreciation and study, and the time passed without me noticing.
When Guan Tingting came to call for someone, Zhou Zhi quickly locked the warehouse and came out. The two of them had lunch in a hurry and drove to the nightclub for an interview.
Chapter completed!
