Han Lie and Luo Zhen continued chatting, listening to him explain the famous renovation companies in the Magic Capital.
Don't look down on Luo Zhen for his lack of practical experience, but he really knows his stuff in this area.
His opening statent was quite insightful.
"Brother Han, let tell you sothing real; the renovation experience has little to do with the company itself!
Cheaper quotes generally lead to a poor experience, and pricier ones don't necessarily guarantee a good one.
Let's talk about the top five or even the top ten companies in the Magic Capital. For big contracts like yours, they'll promise anything to win the bid, accept any kind of supervision, but will the final result definitely satisfy you?
Not necessarily!
Your renovation experience ultimately depends on the foreman's character and experience, and the quality depends on the craftsmanship and character of the workers.
So people think, 'I'm wealthy, so hiring an experienced third-party supervisor for the entire process should be fine, right?'
It's basically about spending a lot of money to make up for the foreman's experience and to help refine the workers' skills. Through repeated haggling over a long period of ti, it's hard to say what the final outco will be.
So, which company you choose matters, but it doesn't really matter.
In my personal opinion, what's truly important is a reliable managent system, one that can effectively handle all four major guarantees, ensuring no big issues will arise.
If you find it difficult to assess the managent system, then simply separate the design from the construction.
Hire a well-known design studio for the design, then I'll help you find top-tier skilled craftsn. Afterwards, we sit down to communicate, and once we agree, I'll be responsible for material assurance. The designer oversees the site, the craftsn apply themselves, and everyone collaborates.
Doing it this way, though troubleso, surely guarantees the effect… Anyway, you're not stingy about the labor or overti, right?
But I must clarify in advance; I can provide all the top-quality materials in full asure, regardless of the brands the designer wants to use, but with our limited channels, I can't guarantee low prices…"
Wow!
This idea is brilliant!
It's unconventional, troubleso, wasteful, and adds personal favor, but it's perfect for Han Lie.
Han Lie almost imdiately decided.
"It's good, but won't it be too much trouble for you?"
Luo Zhen waved happily, "Nah, I'm just managing a property company now, occasionally dabbling in sales; how could I be too busy? If you think it's good, let's quickly contact a designer, no problem on my end!"
The Magic Capital is a city lacking warmth, but it has this advantage—
As long as your value is sufficient, many people will show you the utmost goodwill and enthusiasm.
Han Lie truly felt this.
"Okay, do you have any good design studios to recomnd?"
Luo Zhen counted on his fingers and instantly nad a bunch: "Wilson, HBA, Gensler, Neri&Hu, J&A, Matrix… For personal brands, Liang Zhidong, Lü Yongzhong, Zheng Xiaodong, Ezhen are all good.
Later, I'll send letters on your behalf, asking each of them to present a draft and explain their design concepts to you, and you can choose!
For a project starting at 50 million and with no cap, who would dare disregard it?"
What initially seed like a troubleso matter was made completely clear with a few words from Luo Zhen…
The saying "professionals focus on expertise" is indeed true.
Just as Han Lie was about to make a decision, the property manager ca over to report to Luo Zhen: "Mr. Luo, Ms. Pan's mother is here, what do you think…?"
Luo Zhen imdiately stood up: "Let her in! What are we waiting for?"
"She's already inside, almost at the villa's entrance…"
The property manager reported with downcast eyes, so Luo Zhen and Han Lie understood.
"Let's go, let's greet them."
The two made way for each other as they walked outside, eventually walking side by side to the door. Just as they exited the hall, a car arrived at the villa's entrance.
A group of four or five ladies got out, the youngest probably about 35, the oldest over 50.
As soon as they got out of the car, they started comnting.
"Hmm, not bad, the air here is quite nice…"
"The yard is big, but why couldn't they afford artificial turf?"
"Is it this building? Isn't the house a bit tacky?"
"Square and boxy, I just don't like it…"
Chattering and bustling, they were like the aunties in a marketplace.
Han Lie realized imdiately that these ladies were still resisting, and the just-arrived Zhao Anni was eager to act.
"Sweetheart, co here!"
Zhao Anni imdiately called Pan Ge over, giving a couple of obviously fake pats.
"So inconsiderate! Don't we have enough money for the Hua Zhou Juntin? How could you accept such an expensive gift from young Lie? Don't you feel embarrassed?"
Pan Ge giggled, clinging to Zhao Anni playfully: "But he insisted on giving it to ! He's a private equity tycoon now, earning billions each month, what's wrong with giving a little gift?~~~"
This cunning girl clearly knew how to play along, with one sentence making the ladies dizzy.
Listen to that, is she even human?!
Especially for noblewon B and E, who have daughters already married, they gritted their teeth so hard their jaws hurt.
Zhao Anni bead with delight, loudly asking: "Spendthrift! How much did it cost?"
Since they had already agreed to keep the price confidential, Pan Ge replied with no psychological burden: "Brother Luo's family has a collaboration with Han Lie, and gave us over a 20% discount, the total was less than 300 million!"
