Chapter 609: Chapter 272 Mysterious Background_1

"This design works too! Even more convenient than mine..." As Yan Fei spoke, he was envisioning how the house would look. "Since you’re a professional, can you build this house for me? Can you estimate how much it would cost?"

Immediately, Boss Wang found himself in a dilemma: I’m someone’s boss at least, could we not demean me like this? Just a few shabby tiled houses and you actually sought me out to do it, I haven’t done such small jobs in a long time...

"Oh... this blueprint isn’t bad, huh? Can you guys build this house?" Yan Fei flipped through a large stack of blueprints and suddenly said with quite some surprise.

Hearing these words, Boss Wang, who had an expression of constipation on his face, was suddenly invigorated. As long as it wasn’t the few shabby tiled houses, even if you only found a small village house, I would feel relieved. Being introduced by a school leader, I just can’t afford to offend you! These days, we manual laborers just can’t afford to afford to offend anyone!

"Which blueprint?" With a hopeful heart, he turned his head to look, only to feel worse. "Well, yes, we can build this...but it’s someone else’s mansion, modeled after Ming Dynasty architecture...this will cost more, you know?"

"How much more? Isn’t this also a tiled house? It can’t be that expensive, right?" Yan Fei asked eagerly.

This house is nice! Going forward, I’ll plant several large trees all around; the feeling would be fantastic—like travelling back to the ancient times. The mere thought delights me.

The key point is, when he saw this blueprint, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. He felt if his house looked like this, it would undoubtedly be wonderful! As to how wonderful he couldn’t exactly describe, but he simply loved the idea a lot.

Having seen many demanding customers, Boss Wang was at a loss for words when dealing with a customer as troublesome as Student Yan.

Although Student Yan’s conversation style was a bit unrealistic, his aura wasn’t haughty or humble, and he had a kind of unyielding spirit. But the key point being discussed has nothing to do with your spirit, okay?

It’s about money!

Looking at Student Yan’s attire, not to mention his clothes from the Stone Age, or his canvas bag with historical significance, just the large eyeglasses that seemed to have weathered through years of vicissitudes... no matter how you look, he didn’t seem like a person of money!

If I met a rich person, anything could be discussed. Boss Wang has seen many strange and laughable problems from people who did not understand the construction industry. As long as they could think about it, as long as they could pay, he could find a way to build any kind of house they wanted.

If there’s no money, it’s not a problem either, as long as your background is powerful, it’s not a problem.

But it happens to be such a person who neither seemed to have much money nor much backing, yet can’t be offended, who certainly won’t need me to build with my own money. Wanting this and that kind of house, really gave Boss Wang a headache.

But after all, he was a boss with solutions, and he had an idea. He picked up the blueprint and started calculating in his heart. After calculating the money, he began to speak: "How about this! Student Yan, look! You like the exterior to look like this, right? Then we make the exterior like this, and the layout inside as well, but can we remove this carved balustrade, can we directly use glass? And here, the eaves and the stone base here..."

After pointing out several places, Yan Fei was dissatisfied, "If you build it like that, wouldn’t it be different from the original?"

Seeing the sun rise, Boss Wang felt quite annoyed. After pondering for a moment, he simply said, "If we were to build exactly according to this blueprint, at least, I mean at a minimum, it would cost two to three hundred thousand, which is much more expensive than buying a commercial real estate. Do you think building a residential house is worth this cost? Moreover, it takes up a lot of space. In fact, if you consider this location next to the road, if you build a few shops, you might be able to rent them out in the future..."

"It’s my home, I don’t want shops. But two to three hundred thousand is indeed expensive. Can you tell me the minimum cost?" Even before he had finished speaking, Yan Fei interrupted him.

Boss Wang was just thinking that if he earnestly persuaded the youngster before him, he would surely change his mind. Considering building shops usually entails constructing a two- or three-story small building, if the youngster could indeed afford this much, he would be willing to take on the job.

Not expecting to be interrupted while speaking, he felt a flare of irritation. Frustrated, he simply stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly, "Student Yan, let me be honest with you. I’ve only built such a villa once, and it was when I had to ask someone for help. I only charged them two hundred thousand, spent several months working on it, and didn’t even make money on it. I even went into debt over transportation costs. And that’s because a lot of the materials, including these stone columns and bases, were all moved here from demolitions in the Old City, all obtained through connections, it didn’t cost much. You say you just want a house to live in. Is it worth spending two hundred thousand?"

After saying this with such a heavy tone, Boss Wang somewhat regretted it—The person in front of him was just a simple student. It was normal for him to not know anything about the construction industry and to not understand the prices in Provincial City. Was it a bit too much to directly use a price of two hundred thousand to strike him down?

However, what has been said cannot be unsaid. He looked up and saw the student in front of him lost in thought, showing no signs of displeasure, which set his mind at ease — good, students are just more naive, so even though he said so, the student didn’t get angry. But now, this should extinguish your unrealistic ideas, right?
