Chapter 0308: Push Down and Rebuild
Gu Yun is indeed half a day outside, his company although now the development of good, but the ancient construction of this work is not every day, there are always so many months of the year is idle, just now the two construction team are not work, of course, people idle wages that still have to open, that is also a not small expenditure. Like Gu Yun such a company, do a little work is not cost-effective, earn that money, but not enough to give the workers to send subsidies, but before dinner heard Zhuang Rui said that his quadrangle has more than 2,000 square feet, Gu Yun thought to take over this work, such a large area of the ancient building repair, even if not in the materials on the jerry-built, only money, but also allows the company to make a small amount of money.
Originally intended to find Zhuang Rui after dinner to understand the situation specifically, did not expect to be their own old man to pull away, a talk is half a day, Gu Yun, which came to the door to turn around.
After understanding Gu Yun’s meaning, Zhuang Rui smiled and introduced the situation of that quadrangle to him, but after Gu Yun heard it, he frowned.
“What’s wrong, Brother Gu, is there anything wrong?” Zhuang Rui asked somewhat strangely.
Gu Yun thought for a while and said, “According to what you said, that courtyard hasn’t been inhabited for three or four years, and hasn’t been repaired for more than ten years, I’m afraid that the internal structure of those houses will be problematic, if that’s really the case, it’s a bit of a problem, so don’t be in a hurry, let’s take a look tomorrow and talk about it!”
Zhuang Rui nodded, even if those houses can not live, the big deal is to tear down and rebuild, according to the words of Ouyang Jun, the land of that place, also worth 50-60 million, they will not lose money.
Give the address of the courtyard to the ancient clouds, and then about the time to meet tomorrow, Zhuang Rui said goodbye to the ancient family, this trip was intended to help his mother to prepare for his grandfather’s birthday gift, but the yin and yang accidentally found a courtyard construction company, but also from the ancient old man there to lead a job, Zhuang Rui feel their luck is too good point.
“Hey, Wood, I’m going back to Pengcheng tomorrow, are you going?” The car drove halfway in the direction of Yuquan Mountain, the phone rang, only then did Zhuang Rui remember that Liu Chuan was still thrown in Ouyang Jun’s clubhouse by himself!
“I can’t go, I’m afraid it will take another ten days, you go back first!”
Zhuang Rui hung up the phone, the car turned around, to Ouyang Jun’s clubhouse, he was busy this day, the white lion is still left inside the clubhouse did not eat it, Zhuang Rui know, the white lion in addition to their own and mom and sister, will not eat outsiders feed things.
Back to the club, Zhuang Rui first to the white lion to get some food, and then and Liu Chuan bullshit a few sentences, with the white lion to the Yuquan Mountain drive, the day after tomorrow he is going to go to Shandong, back and forth two days time, can not let the white lion starve for two days, right!
Who knows Zhuang Rui car to Mount Yuquan that sanatorium in front of the gate, but can not get in, a few days ago he was followed by Ouyang Zhenwu over, and now he came, was stopped by the door of the armed police, they are certified do not recognize the person, coupled with the car that the huge size of the white lion, but also do not dare to put Zhuang Rui into the interior.
Finally or Ouyang Gang’s guards came to the door, only to bring Zhuang Rui in.
The old man’s work and rest is more regular, now more than nine o’clock has gone to bed, Zhuang Rui found his mother to speak a few words, to go out in the next few days to say a few things, the white lion will be handed over to his mother.
Ouyang Wan in Pengcheng also has nothing to worry about, is ready to live here for a long time, the environment of Yuquan Mountain is also very suitable for her quiet character, plus decades have not been able to filial piety to their parents, now is also the time to fulfill their filial piety, but Zhuang Min is a little bit unable to stay, just to come to a day on the thought of going back to Pengcheng, ready to go tomorrow, and then some time and Zhao Guodong, but will stay in the daughter, accompanied by the old man.
Seeing nothing on his mother’s side, Zhuang Rui also rest assured, before going to bed to the grandparents’ room, secretly used the aura to help them comb the body again, and only then returned to the room prepared for himself to go to sleep.
The next morning, Zhuang Rui came to the courtyard, just parked his car and entered the alley, he saw two people standing at the entrance of his courtyard, but it was Gu Yun and an old man with white hair, on the old man’s shoulder, he also carried a drawing board.
“Zhuang Rui, let me introduce you, this is my mentor Professor Zhou, teacher, he is Minister Ouyang’s nephew Zhuang Rui.” When Gu Yun saw Zhuang Rui, he hurriedly greeted him and introduced his teacher to Zhuang Rui.
“Good day teacher Zhou, I’m sorry to trouble you this time.”
Zhuang Rui hurriedly went forward and greeted respectfully, even without mentioning the personal relationship between Prof. Zhou and his brother-in-law, just based on Prof. Zhou’s prestige in the ancient construction circle, it is also worth Zhuang Rui’s admiration, yesterday Gu Yun said that Prof. Zhou never gives private work.
“You’re welcome, young man, you can think about protecting these buildings left by our ancestors, it’s worth a trip for me to come, this set of courtyard is good, the location is very good, the back can also open a side door, converted into a garage.”
Professor Zhou had circled around the periphery of this set of four contracts with Gu Yun before Zhuang Rui came, in the backyard of Zhuang Rui’s set of courtyard there, a lot of sheds for doing business were illegally erected, the alley there was a bit more spacious, but it was possible to drive the car in, and with a slight modification, a garage could be left.
“Then thank you, Mr. Zhou.”
Zhuang Rui went up and opened the heavy gate, inviting Professor Zhou and Gu Yun inside.
Zhuang Rui hadn’t had time to come over since he bought this courtyard, after opening the gate, Zhuang Rui found that the situation inside and the first time he came had been completely different, the weeds on the ground had been cleaned up, even the dust on those pendant gates had been wiped off, and the tall jujube and pomegranate trees in the front and middle courtyards also clearly had traces of having been pruned.
Professor Zhou took Gu Yun to look from the gatehouse, paying particular attention to those wooden structures, just looking all the way down, his eyebrows were also frowning more and more tightly, looking at the side of Zhuang Rui’s heart was also in a state of uncertainty, not knowing what is wrong with his own set of courtyards in the end.
“Teacher Zhou, you first drink a mouthful of water, take a rest! How do you think this courtyard should be repaired?”
Professor Zhou looked very fine, basically every room went in to wipe look at some, even with a steel bar picked up on the ground, a room wall chiseled out a hole in order to observe the situation of the masonry inside, a full more than two hours, only to the front of the two courtyards to see the end of the back but there are still two courtyards of the room did not look at it!
Zhuang Rui can’t help much, see Professor Zhou and Gu Yun busy sweating, even back to the car to take out a few bottles of drinks.
“There’s no rush, rest after you’ve finished looking.”
Professor Zhou took the drink handed over by Zhuang Rui and took a small sip before holding it in his hand and continuing to walk towards the backyard.
Zhuang Rui pulled Gu Yun, who was about to follow him over, and opened his mouth to ask, “Brother Gu, how do you think I should decorate this house?”
Gu Yun stopped walking and shook his head, “Older brother, these rooms in your yard, although they are well preserved in appearance, but they have been in disrepair for years, although the foundation is fine, some of the bricks and stones in the house are decayed, come and see, this brick is the one that I just pulled out from inside the house.”
Gu Yun spoke while picking up a brick from under his feet, with both hands, he actually broke the brick from the center, and then rubbed his hand on the broken section of the brick, and then raised his hand, a ball of white ash scattered to the ground from the heart of Gu Yun’s hand.
Gu Yun’s action to see the Zhuang Rui is dumbfounded, can not help but burst a foul mouth: “Damn, ancient times also have tofu dregs project ah?!”
“Oh, that’s not true, the main thing is that you don’t have people living here for years, the sewers might be blocked, and during the summer storm season, the water will spread to the house, and after being soaked, these masonry and stone, as well as the wood, have become rotten.”
After hearing Zhuang Rui’s words, Gu Yun laughed out loud, but in his heart, he also felt a little pity, such a big yard, dozens of rooms, it is estimated that they will not be able to stay.
“Brother Gu, then what do you think about this?”
Zhuang Rui this time is really some anxious, look at the appearance of this masonry, I’m afraid that not just repair it can live, if it is really like what he thought yesterday, all pushed down and rebuilt, then, he this buy this house, can be a big loss ah!
“Don’t be anxious, see what the teacher says!” Gu Yun patted Zhuang Rui’s shoulder and walked towards the backyard.
“Brother Gu, what is Mr. Zhou doing? Why don’t you use a camera?”
Entering the backyard, Zhuang Rui saw that Professor Zhou took the drawing board off his shoulder, and was drawing something quickly with a pencil on it, it should be drawing these houses, only he saw that Gu Yun was obviously carrying a camera, but he didn’t know why Professor Zhou had to use his hands to draw?
Zhuang Rui’s voice is a little loud, is drawing Professor Zhou heard, stopped the action of the hand, said: “young man, you have to know, take a picture of the time is very short, a second can be, but draw down may need five minutes, five minutes inside you see things, will certainly be more than a second, so that you can remember, does not necessarily have to be photographed. ”
Zhuang Rui nodded thoughtfully, nowadays this society, is indeed a lot more fickle, people are thinking of the most concise way to accomplish something, but forgetting that inside this process, a lot has actually been lost.
Gu Yun walked to Prof. Zhou’s side, whispered a few words to him, and then said to Zhuang Rui, who was in deep thought, “Xiao Zhuang, this mansion, can no longer be repaired in the way of ancient construction, I’m afraid that it has to be pushed down and rebuilt!”
“Teacher Zhou, is there no other way?”
Zhuang Rui quickly asked, he no longer understand the construction of this industry, but also know that the renovation and construction of the house is completely two different things, he had planned to live in it after more than a month, if the reconstruction, ghosts know how long it will take to move into the new house?
“Alas, but where there is the slightest possibility, I wouldn’t let you knock down these old buildings, but the foundation of this mansion has been waterlogged for a long time, and the wood has long since rotted.”
Professor Zhou spoke while handing the drawing board in his hand to Gu Yun, walked slowly to the backyard next to a hanging door, grabbed one side of the threshold, and pulled hard, a long strip of wood with colored paint on it was pulled down, Zhuang Rui went over to take that wood and looked at it, it was indeed all rotted inside.
Seeing this scene, Zhuang Rui said with some frustration: “Mr. Zhou, if it is rebuilt, can still maintain the original appearance? Also how long will it take to build?”
The reason why Zhuang Rui bought this courtyard, is also in this architectural style, if you want to buy a villa, more than 60 million is enough for him to buy a set of top villas in the capital, said it is now only 2004, real estate is also just hot up.
“Hehe, this you don’t have to worry about.”
Professor Zhou smiled at his words and said, “It’s really a coincidence, your set of mansions, is the Kangxi years in order to accommodate the six ministers, specifically to let the Ministry of Public Works of the manufacturing library contractors, these house drawings, are still preserved, you want to build like the original general original flavor, it is not impossible, just… …”
Professor Zhou said here paused for a moment, seeing Zhuang Rui’s anxious face, then said, “Just if the construction is done according to the original drawings, the cost is not expensive!”
“About how much time will it take?”
Zhuang Rui is the most nervous about this issue, if you wait until next year to go to school are not well built, then they buy this house for what ah!
“It won’t take much time, there are about thirty rooms in total, counting these more detailed pendant doors and so on, there are two months of time enough to use.”
The side of the ancient cloud interface said, this is his part of the work, an eye basically can estimate a eight or nine, and two months of construction period he said a little long, in fact, if you rush a little tighter, a month will be able to build a good.
“OK, then according to the original drawings to build, Brother Gu, this probably need to spend how much money?”
Zhuang Rui was happy to hear that it could be built in two months, the original house was indeed dilapidated as it could be, being able to push it down and rebuild it wouldn’t take much time, of course he chose to rebuild it, and with Prof. Zhou around, even the design drawings were saved.
Gu Yun estimated in his mind, said: “Older brother, we have this relationship, I also do not earn you material money, but like these colorful glazed tiles and this big green bricks and other ancient building materials, sold to be more expensive, all the building materials plus wages, I’m afraid to be fifteen million or so.”
“Fifteen million? Okay! Brother Gu, but this mansion exterior according to the original style, the decoration inside the house you want to give me a whole modernized some ah! Kitchen and bath should be ready, don’t have to run a public restroom at that time.”
Zhuang Rui heard some bitter in his heart, buy this set of mansion seven or eight on the removal of more than 65 million, plus this 15 million, is not 80 million gone, but there is no turning back the arrow, Zhuang Rui now can only agree to a hard head.
