Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

In fact, at the beginning Zhou Tian had thought about whether to connect up the entire back house and transform it into a shop facing the outside, but after thinking about it, he gave up this decision.

The main reason is that on the one hand, he doesn't need to do this at all. After all, the yellow croakers and antique calligraphy and paintings stored in the space are enough for him to live a luxurious life. On the other hand, the country does not have a policy to open up private business. If he does this, he will be asking for trouble.

Next, Zhou Tian followed Shi Lei to visit the third courtyard, the fourth courtyard, the backyard, and the east and west courtyards. Each courtyard had its own characteristics, especially the third courtyard, with its winding paths, wide pond, rockery and pavilions, which incorporated many characteristics of the Jiangnan water towns, which made Zhou Tian nod his head in his heart.

The gardens, pavilions and towers across the east and west courtyards are all so fascinating that people will not want to leave. Not to mention anything else, just the renovation of this five-courtyard courtyard would have cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in the previous life.

Even in this era, Zhou Tian spent a full 30,000 yuan. After visiting all the rooms and courtyards, Zhou Tian's satisfaction with Yangshi Lei reached an unprecedented level.

He never imagined that he could rebuild this five-courtyard courtyard so perfectly based on just his own drawings.

"Master Lei, thank you for your hard work. I don't know how long it will take to be completed. I can't wait to move in."

After the tour, Zhou Tian asked as they walked.

"Boss, now all that's left is to put up the last beams of the backyard's backyard. Once the grain is added, it will be finished in two days at most!"

Yangshi Lei was naturally aware of the progress of the courtyard house and immediately told the truth.

"Okay, in that case, Master Lei, I'll let you take charge of the furniture making. You can make and arrange the furniture for all the rooms for me. How do you think?"

In fact, at the beginning, Zhou Tian did not plan to hand over the furniture to Yangshi Lei, but planned to hand it over to the sawmill under his own research institute. However, after thinking about it, he finally rejected this idea.

Although the furniture made by the Red Star Timber Factory is considered extremely trendy internationally, Zhou Tian still feels that it does not need to be so high-profile. Moreover, compared to modern furniture, he prefers classical Ming Dynasty furniture.

In this way, there is no need to specially make furniture from a lumber factory. Moreover, the price of furniture made by a lumber factory is now more expensive than that of ordinary furniture factories.

Although he is not short of this little money, he has already become so famous that he needs to keep a low profile for a while.

As for whether it is unusual for him to spend so much money to build a five-courtyard courtyard, it is not really the case. You have to know that in the traditional concept of people of this era, buildings and villas are the most luxurious buildings.

To put it bluntly, a siheyuan just occupies a larger area. Otherwise, so many people would not abandon their siheyuans and move into buildings after they were allocated buildings.

"Really? Boss, are you really going to let me take care of making the furniture?"

Yangshi Lei suddenly stopped, looked at Zhou Tian with surprise, and couldn't help asking.

You should know that this is not a courtyard house with one or two entrances, but a courtyard house with five entrances. There are no less than twenty rooms, and these are rooms that can be lived in. Each room is nearly 120 to 130 square meters.

If the boss were to give all the furniture here to him, the profit from the furniture alone would be enough for him to make from renovating the house for three years.

How can this not surprise him?

"Of course, but Master Lei, let's make this clear first. You must guarantee the quality of the furniture. It only needs to be made of mahogany! But I like the style of furniture from the Ming Dynasty, but I hope it will take as little time as possible. When do you think it can be completed?"

Under Yangshi Lei's surprised gaze, Zhou Tian slowly stated his request.

"Hey, wait a minute, boss, let me calculate it!"

After hearing Zhou Tian's request, Yangshi Lei did not agree immediately. Instead, he closed his eyes and began to calculate. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "Boss, I calculated that if it is according to your requirements, it will take at least half a month to build it. In addition, I will give you a minimum price of 10,000 yuan. What do you think?"

As he spoke, his eyes were still a little nervous. After all, such a large business deal was already the largest one he had received since liberation, and he didn't want to offer a sky-high price and disrupt this business.

"can!"

There are more than twenty rooms, which means that the furniture in each room costs about five hundred yuan. Although it looks a bit expensive, don’t forget that these furniture are all made of mahogany. In this way, it is already relatively cheap.

"By the way, Boss, what material do you plan to use for your floor tiles? I have a batch of gold bricks. If you need them, I can use them to pave your floor!"

Having obtained such a large business deal, Yangshi Lei was instantly excited. However, when he thought of the matter entrusted to him by his friend, he couldn't help but ask.

"Gold bricks? Are there so many?"

When he heard about gold bricks, Zhou Tian naturally knew what they were. After all, in his previous life, he had read at least eight volumes of historical texts, if not ten. The gold bricks that Yangshi Lei mentioned were floor tiles specially used by the royal family.

Such floor tiles are not only hard, but also beautiful in texture and corrosion-resistant, making them a very good building material.

If he could have gold bricks, he would naturally need them. Moreover, as these gold bricks become less and less, their value will become higher and higher.

"Yes, it will definitely be enough for your courtyard!"

When Yangshi Lei heard his boss's question, he patted his chest and made a promise.

"Well, in that case, I'll come back in twenty days!"

Since Yangshi Lei had given the guarantee, Zhou Tian didn't think any more about it. He calculated the time and thought that after more than 20 days, everything would be ready and their family could move in.

"Don't worry, sir. I will get everything ready for you in 20 days. I guarantee you will be able to move in by then!"

"Okay, I'll be leaving first. Remember, you must keep the route I told you to follow. I'm leaving!"

Zhou Tian reminded Yangshi Lei again before he drove out of the courtyard and quickly headed towards the research institute.

Now the courtyard house is progressing step by step and will be completed in more than 20 days. I wonder what expression my wife Shen Yulin will have when she sees this courtyard house?

Is it a surprise? Or frightened?

Thinking of this, Zhou Tian couldn't help but reveal a hint of anticipation at the corner of his mouth.

The car drove all the way to the downstairs of the institute's office building. Zhou Tian got out of the car and just walked into the office, about to change his clothes, when he saw Zhang Mingzhi hurriedly walking in.

"Dean, something big happened!"
