Episode 1, Section 20, Planning

Dai Yuege was the first to arrive at Huanchao Pavilion. According to modern terms, Dai Yuege is the boss of the engineering team with rich construction experience and engineering management experience. His spirit and style in recent years are inseparable from the rise of the Ye family. Dai Yuege originally lived in Qingyun Lane and was a neighbor of the Ye family. This lack of airs, Boss Dai soon became good friends with Ye Laogeng who had a good temper and he drank with him, and later became sworn brothers. After Ye Laogeng got married and his wife Wang Jue became pregnant, Dai Yuege clamored to become a relative of the Ye family, but at that time Dai Yuege had only two sons who were already quite old. Later, Ye Tao was born, Dai Yuege wanted a daughter to fulfill his promise. As a result, many years of "working" seemed to have no results. It was not until Ye Tao was 7 years old that Dai Yuege's youngest daughter Dai Qiuyan was born.

When Dai Yuege had no daughter, Ye Laogeng couldn't help but tease him. Now that he has a daughter, he looks very beautiful and cute, the marriage is naturally settled. At that time, Ye Tao's head was full of words such as "loli" and "cultivation". It was precisely because of this that things that Ye Tao later helped his fiancée change his diapers. It was different from Dai Yuege's rough appearance, and his personality was different from Dai Jia's words and singing and running around. Dai, who is only 7 years old, is now a 7-year-old Dai.

Qiuyan is a quiet little girl, very patient. Dai Qiuyan, who often goes to Ye's yard and Ye's workshop to play, often sits by the side and holds her chin and watches quietly when Ye Tao is busy, often without moving much for an hour or two, and never complains. Ye Laogeng and his wife are very satisfied with such daughter-in-law, although it will take at least seven or eight years to officially pass the door, but in Ye Tao's eyes, such a wife may have to be "used" for another ten years.

From Zhanyuan to Chunnuanju, almost the several gardens designed by Ye Tao were built by Dai Yuege's construction team, and the factories of Ye's workshop were also built. In order to ensure the quality and degree of construction and to make the final effect meet the design requirements, Dai Yuege's construction team was armed by Ye Tao with various fresh construction machinery, which may be the most modern construction team of this era. With these fresh designs, Dai Yuege was unrivaled when building houses for other artificial yards. A few days ago, he bought a piece of land himself and asked his son-in-law to come up with a batch of design drawings. He built 12 small yards for sale in a row, making more than double the profit. This contractor is trending to transform into a real estate developer.

Dai Yuege walked into the private room set by Ye Tao and said dissatisfiedly: "Ye Tao, you are not interested in these days."

Ye Tao said strangely: "Ah? What's wrong with me?"

"People say that the wife of a brute will not leave the court. You chase the young lady from the capital and run behind her butt. What should I do if my daughter?" Dai Yuege was not angry, but more like he was joking, "At least, give my daughter an explanation. Qiu Yan is still young, you have seen it and played it. It's not okay to just let it go."

Ye Tao quickly defended himself: "Uncle Dai, don't talk nonsense. What does it mean to have watched it and played it? This misunderstanding will be huge if it is spread. Besides, Miss Zhuo and I are just ordinary friends."

"Ordinary friend?" Dai Yuege snorted, "What did you say when I said that Miss Yinru from Nongcuilou was an ordinary friend? How could there be something like an ordinary friend between men and women? Even if I asked me to kneel on the washboard, I could think of something like "I would even think of it."

It turned out that he wanted to find this place back... Ye Tao rolled his eyes and said powerlessly: "Uncle Dai, don't make trouble, okay? I have something to do with you." As he said that, Ye Tao took out the drawing that was rolled up and placed in a bamboo tube, and handed it to Dai Yuege.

As soon as he saw Ye Tao take out the drawings, Dai Yuege stopped interrupting. He expanded the drawings, looked carefully, and said, "What is this for? The combined buildings are so vast."

Ye Tao said: "This is a building that is planned to start in Beijing, as a marching chess business, that is, the headquarters and flagship store behind the Yi Zhan Building."

The flagship store was an argument that was accidentally slipped out of their mouths when discussing things about taverns and inns with Du Fengchi. Yicheng was by the sea, and they had a good relationship with Qi Zhentao, a big-level sea merchant. The meaning of this flagship was clear. After careful consideration, I thought the term "the flagship store" was very reasonable, which became a common statement. Dai Yuege heard Ye Tao say this and asked, "Are you really going to Beijing?"

"Going to Beijing? It's not like taking the exam... I just opened the store to Beijing. What's the point of making a fuss about it?"

Dai Yuege didn't say anything, buried his head and continued to look at the drawings for a while, and asked, "This is just a rough planning diagram. Are there any detailed diagrams?"

Ye Tao nodded and said, "Yes, I have done all the drawings. After seeing such pictures, Uncle Dai, can you build such a building?"

This is just like when he built the factory building of Ye's Workshop, Zhuanyuan and Chun Nuanju. Although it looks nothing at first glance, there are many difficult constructions every time. The factories of Ye's Workshop made him exhausted and his head turned pale, but he also mastered many new construction methods since then. Those very interesting construction machinery made his construction team always do everything when undertaking general construction.

"No problem, it's not just for me to think about it, you guy can't escape." Dai Yuege thought for a while and asked, "This land is not cheap. The land price in the capital is hard to say."

"Unfortunately, Miss Zhuo happened to be very powerful in the capital. Not to mention the land, other aspects will pave the way. Otherwise, Uncle Dai, do you think I have the ability to go to the muddy waters of the capital?" Ye Tao said.

Dai Yuege put down the drawings and said, "If it is a small wealthy person, it is probably good for IKEA and Yi Zhanlou, right? There are so many wealthy businessmen in Yicheng, and you are very stolen. But if you want to really become a wealthy family in Dongping, you really have to go to the capital to explore. Most of the wealthy families have been going on for decades or even hundreds of years of exhibitions. If you want real estate and real estate, shops and shops, even if the shopping malls are temporarily frustrated, relying on their farms all over the country, it will not hurt your vitality. It has also suddenly reached out in a few years. One of them is courage and the other is vision." Dai Yuege talked freely, and it was a bit of a sense of guidance.

"Uncle Dai? Have you ever made some special thoughts on these wealthy families?" Ye Tao nodded inwardly, but said with a slight joking look on his lips.

"What I said is that doing business is like this. You kid, maybe you can bring the Ye family to a wealthy family in your life. In the past few years, your Uncle Dai has been a little confused. I never thought that in these years, I, Dai Yuege, became a person who looked at your face and was doing business. Good fortune is a mess."

Ye Tao was a little embarrassed by Dai Yuege and hurriedly said, "Uncle Dai, I feel a little too early? It's not a fun thing to expand the industry to the capital. I think I can quickly take root in the capital. Uncle Dai is still the only thing I can do when I start building a building there. But I'm afraid I can't stop here without a year or two. Today I'll look for Uncle Dai and wait for Du Fengchi to organize the current career in Yicheng."

After a while, Ye Laogeng, Du Fengchi and Ye Tao's senior brothers arrived one after another. The private room in Huanchao Pavilion is a very suitable place to talk about things. It is at the end of the port, facing the seaside. The sea breeze is refreshing and does not feel hot at all. After a little bit of food, Ye Tao said again about his ideas and plans to go to the Beijing Exhibition.

"Go to the Beijing City Exhibition? Why? Isn't it good for us to be in Yicheng like this?" Ye Tao's third senior brother Zhao Dazhu was a little puzzled. The Ye family is now smooth sailing in Yicheng. Their brothers and sisters also have independent yards in Qingquan Village. Although they are not as good as Chun Nuan's residence, the difference is limited. They are all easy to make according to their own temperament and the tempers of their families. Zhao Dazhu is a relatively pure craftsman. Nowadays, he has a house, a wife, a child, and a horse. He is already very satisfied with his spare time.

Ye Tao thought for a while and said, "We don't say anything else, just according to our craftsmen. Brother Dazhu, you also know that, just for a carpenter, what can be worthy of being boastful in his life, that is, the work he likes others and others can trust. How much can a carpenter or a potter or blacksmith do in his life? Building a house and garden is no longer a carpenter. Let's talk about carpenter work. A carpenter, no matter how high a skill is, how many sets of furniture can be made in his life? 2o sets? 3o sets? Most of the time, he is just repairing and making some fragmentary life. But, we have become a wealthy family by selling furniture. Did you want to get this?"

Not only Zhao Dazhu, but everyone present shook their heads.

Ye Tao continued: "From the creation of Ye's workshop, to the present, nearly 40,000 pieces of wood have been made in total. Apart from the things made for the Yicheng garrison and the navy, there are 260,000 pieces of furniture. Other small things such as marching chess are not counted. But how many families in Yicheng are there? 160,000 households. In fact, every household has something we have done. In the first year, everyone watched and didn't know whether the things were good or not, and the business was relatively light. But in the next few years, the business was quite good. However, when things like furniture were sold to this point, it was basically over. I carefully looked at the accounts of the past six months, and the monthly turnover increased by less than 10%. Moreover, from the direction of the things sold, at least 40% flowed to other places and even outside the Dongping Kingdom.

.Deducting this part, IKEA's sales are actually gradually falling. However, what price should our IKEA products be sold outside? A mirror-painted short table is no less than 5 taels of gold. A gold-painted wardrobe - everyone knows that only the two doors are mirror-painted gold, with bright lacquer on the edges and clear varnish on the back - 20 taels of gold still have no market price. Beijing, this is the price. The things that have been made with hard work, the big money earned are taken over by others. Is this a bit unwilling to accept this? Moreover, this also shows that the exhibition of IKEA has encountered a level. If we don't show out and just guard the local market in Yicheng, how long can we do it? Furniture is not clothes, and it will be broken and changed frequently. Even if all the furniture in every household is IKEA in the future, so what?”

Seeing everyone thinking, Ye Tao stopped and said, "IKEA opened to Beijing, but Ye's workshop was also split into Yicheng and Beijing. The production capacity was allocated. Basically, both sides could still be satisfied. After entering Beijing, the brand of IKEA Home Furnishing does not have to be too loud. We are now the largest production and sales agency for wood and furniture in Dongping. We do not worry about sales while ensuring quality. In Beijing, as long as we can sell smoothly and gradually make the reputation gradually. When going to Beijing, it seems that the more important thing is the marching chess and Yi Zhanlou."

Everyone has seen the architectural planning drawings drawn by Ye Tao for the flagship point of Yi Zhan Building. It is no longer a building but a building complex. A three-story building is a common rule of marching chess, and a three-story building will be used to play the magic chess in the future. A two-story building is used to perform chess competitions called the "Great Strategy" rules that are gradually mature. The other building is also two stories high, but it is just a soundproof game room and a column-free hall that is very similar to a modern concert hall and the theater structure that can accommodate more than 60 people at the same time, for chess game explanations. Finally, the building is separately assigned to Yi Zhan Store to sell chess products such as marching chess and surrounding products. The space in the middle of the four buildings can accommodate rows of tables and chairs, and hold huge cloth parasols to make people drink tea and chat.

This kind of extremely bold building complex really makes everyone very amazed, especially the chess game explanation hall, which not only set a series of records in the history of architecture in this era and became a classic of a generation, but may also be the first hall in this era that considered many acoustic principles. But everyone's concern is that if you create such a large-scale building complex for a low-priced marching chess, is it a bit over? If you throw so much money, can you collect it?

When everyone asked this question, Ye Tao smiled strangely and said, "How many people are there in Yicheng? How many people like to play chess? How many people have received in Yizhanlou? How many people have spent money at Yizhanlou? Do you know what you know?"

Speaking of this, Du Fengchi suddenly realized: "So what membership card system you have, can you use this?"

Ye Tao nodded and said, "The population of Yicheng is less than one million, but in fact it is only 70,000. However, there are tens of thousands of people who come and go to various caravans and fleets that often come and go to at most. But among the 70,000 permanent population, Yi Zhan Building has 17ooo members, and among the 17ooo members, there are 112o people who have spent money in Yi Zhan Building. Among them, there are more than 9ooo people who often come. This system is not perfect, maybe it is not very beneficial to registering a membership. There are also many people who have bought things and rented chess pieces and boards. Moreover, Yi Zhan Building actually made a profit of IKEA Furnishing a few months ago."

Ye Tao's words stunned everyone. In this time and space, there is no concept of the game industry. There are hundreds of kinds of products involved in Yi Zhan Tower and Yi Zhan Shop, and there is a trend of gradual expansion. Most of the people who make these small things are apprentices from Ye's workshop and just promoted students. Brothers like Ye Tao are disdainful of these "untechnical content". Moreover, the quantity of each type of goods is not too large. Except for chess pieces and chessboards, other things will take a long time to re-made a batch.

I didn't care about my family. However, the various things in the Yizhan store gathered the profits into a surging river, and it was already so powerful. Although every item was sold, the profit was almost negligible compared to the furniture in IKEA home furniture, especially the very high-end series of furniture, but it couldn't stop the number. Moreover, the more I like marching chess, the more attractive these surrounding things were. In the end, I wanted to move the entire store back.

Ye Tao smiled and said, "I didn't expect it? Imagine how many people there are in the capital? If you manage it well, how many people will spend money on it? You should know that buying a thing for one or two doesn't think it's costing at all. When the house is full of things, it's wrong to see it, you feel that you spend too much money on it. Moreover, the things made in our Ye Family Workshop are of high quality. You don't feel unfair to spend such money. What do you think?"

Ye Tao's explanation gradually dispelled everyone's doubts. Everyone began to recognize that Yi Zhan Tower was really promising. Land and building houses were not a problem for those here. Moreover, due to the low land costs and construction costs, although the cost of building such a building complex is still quite considerable, it was not the era where Ye Tao came from, or astronomical figures. After everyone figured out this section, the discussion immediately became lively. Finally, they decided to temporarily let Ye Laogeng and his senior brother Guan Haishan and the fourth senior brother Qian Shun continue to stay in Yi.

The city manages the Ye Family Workshop, IKEA Home Furnishing and Yi Zhanlou. The second senior brother Suo Yong and the third senior brother Zhao Dazhu brought a group of students and some apprentices who were willing to go out to make a fortune to build a workshop, and the branches of IKEA Home Furnishing and Yi Zhanlou. It turned out that Du Fengchi was called to let Du Fengchi take care of such a large number of people who went to the capital. After all, the Du family also has inns and hotels in Beijing, and the people are more familiar. But after hearing Ye Tao's words, Du Fengchi finally made a decision that he would open the flagship store of the Du family's restaurant and inn opposite the flagship store of the Yi Zhanlou!

Ye Tao looked at Du Fengchi silently. What a brave guy. I haven’t seen any hotel that can be called a star in the past. Otherwise, I would instigate the Du family to become a tycoon in this field? Thinking of this maliciously, Ye Tao made a decision.
