Liang Qingfan was stunned by Boss Pei's sudden compliment.
After being stunned for two seconds, Liang Qingfan said embarrassedly, "But Boss Pei, it's not just about the design; it's also about the cost!
"Take this apartment for example. The apartment itself only costs five hundred thousand yuan. The entire renovation and renovation would cost at least three hundred thousand yuan. The renovation is almost as expensive as the apartment! It's not worth it.
"You've also bought two buildings with a total of thirty-two units. If we renovate them according to the standard of three hundred thousand yuan, the renovation cost would be close to ten million yuan …
"It's the same for the previous residential-commercial building. There are a total of seventy-seven units. If we renovate each unit according to the standard of one hundred and twenty thousand yuan, that would still cost ten million yuan.
"If we bribe the rich, the renovation of these apartments alone would cost twenty million yuan …"
Boss Pei fell silent.
Liang Qingfan heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Boss Pei had not done the financial calculations before. He had probably bought the apartments because they were cheap and had not thought about the renovation costs at all.
The building in Dawn of Prosperous City might cost a lot to renovate, but it was huge!
What's more, it was exquisitely renovated and could be rented to ballers.
This apartment was so dilapidated that no one wanted to buy it or live in it. Yet, he had to spend at least three hundred thousand yuan to renovate it. That was too much!
It was not that it was useless, but the price-performance ratio was too low.
However, after a moment of silence, Pei Qian asked, "Twenty million yuan … can we increase it further? Would it be difficult to increase it by another ten million yuan? "
Although he had already spent most of the money from Tomorrow is Beautiful's box office buying the apartments, Aili Island was starting to split the profits!
After winning an award last month, Tomorrow is Beautiful's viewership on Aili Island had been increasing rapidly. Under the influence of the profit sharing contract, Aili Island received a huge sum of money every month. Pei Qian could not wait to spend more money on renovations. After all, spending money on renovations seemed to be the least risky way to spend money.
Liang Qingfan blinked, realizing that he had completely misunderstood Boss Pei.
What did he mean? Boss Pei did not think that twenty million yuan was too much but too little?
Liang Qingfan could not help but frown as his brain worked furiously.
"Boss Pei, I understand now.
"You want to use exquisite design and luxurious decoration to give a luxurious attribute to a house in such an ordinary location, so that you can rent it at a high premium to renters who are not sensitive to price?"
"The previous apartment was large and the rent was high, so the choice of tenants was very limited, and they could only be rented to the nouveau riche. The latest few buildings are all small units, and the prices of the buildings themselves are very cheap. So, you plan to use such luxurious decorations to attract the average small bourgeoisie, which is equivalent to giving them a chance to experience a luxurious life …"
Pei Qian, "… twenty million yuan. Don't add a single cent."
With Liang Qingfan's reminder, Pei Qian suddenly realized that this could lead to serious consequences.
The system had set a rent ceiling for the Sloth Apartments. Although it would take the renovation into consideration, it was mainly based on the average price of apartments in the same area and area.
That was why Pei Qian could charge such a high rent for the huge apartment he lived in previously, mainly because of its size.
However, the new buildings were all small. The residential-commercial buildings were less than 40 square meters, and the houses here were only about 60 square meters. What's more, the former was a residential-commercial building, and the latter was in a bad location. No matter how well it was renovated, the system would not allow Pei Qian to charge a high rent.
It would probably be in the range of 2,000 to 4,000 yuan.
If Pei Qian decorated the house lavishly at this time, spent a lot of money on branded sofas, huge televisions, expensive furniture, and the like, and then asked Liang Qingfan to design …
That could indeed dissuade some especially poor tenants, but it would only attract the nouveau riche!
Those artistic youths would then see that although the area of this house was smaller than other houses, the layout was strange, the lighting was poor, they could not buy their own furniture, there were a bunch of problems, and the monthly rent was more than a thousand yuan more than other houses, this was luxurious!
The sofa alone cost ten to twenty thousand yuan. If they paid an extra thousand yuan to enjoy such a luxurious life, wouldn't they fight to stay in this house?
Pei Qian came back to his senses and realized that he could not spend as much money to renovate these houses as he had done before. After all, very few ballers in Jingzhou could afford to rent the huge apartment previously. The smaller the apartment, the less sensitive the tenants were to the premium.
What's more, this house was so small that the rule that it could only be rented as a whole would definitely be greatly discounted.
"We'll go according to the standard you mentioned just now. Twenty million yuan. We'll decorate the houses here according to the standard of three hundred thousand yuan per house, and the commercial and residential houses according to the standard of one hundred and fifty thousand yuan per house. That's settled, "Pei Qian emphasized again.
Liang Qingfan: "…"
Didn't he say that he should try to figure out Boss Pei's intentions?
He just wanted to try it today, and he failed on the spot?
Indeed, this was a technical job. He had to practice more.
Liang Qingfan had thought that he already understood Boss Pei's tricks, but he was ruthlessly slapped in the face by Boss Pei the moment he voiced his thoughts.
He could not help but feel a little disappointed.
On the other hand, Pei Qian looked at Liang Qingfan with even more admiration.
Good, I like this kind of brother who can't hide his words and says whatever is on his mind!
The other employees understand behind my back, but they don't tell me even if they understand. You understand in front of me, and you even said what you understood exactly.
You helped me correct a possible mistake. You're worth teaching!
Pei Qian coughed lightly. "Mr. Liang, I mentioned before that I wanted you to be the person-in-charge of Sloth Apartments. Have you thought about it?"
"Of course, to be precise, you'll be a partner. You'll be able to enjoy the benefits of Tengda Corporation's higher-ups, including monthly bonuses based on TPDb's ratings and project investments. "
Liang Qingfan was even more tempted.
A month ago, Boss Pei had already expressed his intention to recruit him. At that time, Liang Qingfan had wanted to be reserved and did not agree immediately.
Over the past month, Liang Qingfan had also learned more about Tengda. He had already made up his mind.
Of course, he had to come. The benefits were too good!
As the person-in-charge, he could receive very generous bonuses based on the project's reputation and investment. Compared to his previous workspace, his income would be on a crushing level.
What's more, to be able to work with a leader like Boss Pei would be a great help to the development of his career!
Liang Qingfan almost agreed immediately. However, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "Boss Pei, can I make a small request?"
Pei Qian could not help but feel a little surprised.
Yo, this young man can actually resist the temptation of Tengda's benefits and bargain with me?
Not bad, I like young men like you who raise prices with me. It saves me the trouble of racking my brains to find a reason to raise your salary.
Come on, extort me as much as you can!
Pei Qian nodded. "Of course, you can!"
Liang Qingfan cleared his throat. "Boss Pei, I noticed that you have opened a lot of physical shops, and they are still expanding, including Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out, Deposit Fitness, and so on.
"Of course, I will not shirk from the renovation of Sloth Apartments.
"However, I noticed that the style of your other shops seems a little mediocre. If you plan to renovate all these shops in the future … can you leave this job to me as well?
"I don't mean anything else. I just feel that the current style of the shops does not match Tengda's style."
Pei Qian could not help but feel a little disappointed.
That's it?
You're not going to take the opportunity to raise my salary or something?
However, on further thought, this suggestion was not bad.
Pei Qian nodded. "Of course, I'll leave it all to you! How about this? Once you're done with the Sloth Apartments, you can start looking. You can renovate whichever shop has good business! "
If this was in the past, before Fish-Catching Internet Cafe became popular, Pei Qian would definitely have rejected Liang Qingfan's request.
What do you mean by that? Why do you want to renovate now that you're incurring losses?
However, things were different now.
Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was already very popular and full. Renovating it again would not make it even more popular and profitable. What's more, they had to spend on renovation fees and could not open for business during the renovation period.
How much money would they lose in this round trip?
It was too worth it!
Thus, Pei Qian emphasized that Liang Qingfan should only renovate the shops that were profitable. He could not touch the shops that were incurring losses, such as Deposit Fitness.
Liang Qingfan nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. Thank you for your trust in me!"
Although he did not quite understand why Boss Pei wanted him to start renovating the shops that were profitable, Liang Qingfan did not ask much. After all, Boss Pei had left such an important task entirely in his hands. This showed that Boss Pei trusted him.
"Alright, Boss Pei. I'll come up with a few renderings based on the characteristics of the new rooms. Once you're done picking, I'll immediately get the construction team to start!" Liang Qingfan could not help but be filled with enthusiasm.
The residential-commercial building was still fine because the hard renovations were almost done. It was mainly soft renovations that could be done relatively quickly. However, the houses in Binhu District were more troublesome. A total of two buildings had to be renovated. They would need a large number of construction teams, and the construction period would be very tight.
Of course, the advantage was that the rooms were all the same. One set of plans would suffice.
"Choose renderings? No, no, no, no. There's no need to come up with new renderings. Keep the same style as before, "Pei Qian emphasized." Minimalist style. "
After some thought, he added, "There's no need for smart homes and big televisions. You can consider the cost of the overall renovation budget. The most important thing is the overall style. It must be consistent! "
A big television over there cost 240,000 yuan. What's more, it was limited in the country. You could not buy it even if you wanted to. What's more, Pei Qian was worried that if he really installed such an expensive television in such a small apartment, many people would fight to rent a house just for it. What would he do then?
After all, the rent for small apartments was much cheaper than for large apartments in Dawn of Prosperous City.
It was better to follow the four bare walls style to ensure that ordinary people would be deterred. At the same time, it could avoid attracting a group of artistic youths or petty bourgeoisie.
Liang Qingfan was stunned. "Use minimalist style here as well?"
"Boss Pei, the new buildings are all small apartments. If we use minimalist style in small apartments, the effect would be greatly reduced. What's more, the storage space in small apartments is more important. If we get rid of all the storage space, the apartment would be uninhabitable."
Pei Qian could not help but smile.
The effect would be reduced? The apartment would be uninhabitable?
That's great!
That's what I want!
If even professional architects think that this won't work, how can I make money?
Absolutely not!
Pei Qian smiled. "Don't worry. This is the style of Sloth Apartments. Since it's the same brand, the style must be uniform, right? "
