Chapter 236 More room and more money(1/2)
Now that a promise has been made to employees, the subsequent job assessment and adjustments will be a big move.
This became Shui Qing's main task in the next stage.
If we consider that the weather is getting colder, the music cafe will close soon.
Then, I'm afraid the people from the music cafe will have to be placed to work in the restaurant, so that we can kill two birds with one stone.
Therefore, Hong Yanwu believes that there is really no need to recruit and train new employees.
It is really not cost-effective to bring in dozens of people.
There is actually no need to rush the opening of the restaurant, it is better to postpone it until later.
As for next year, let’s talk about it then.
In this way, Hong Yanwu's mind was free again.
So his thoughts suddenly shifted to "should he set up his own ancient construction team?"
Speaking of this matter, he had actually been thinking about it for a long time, and the idea did not come out of nowhere.
Because after renovating the old house, he was completely convinced by the skills of the skilled craftsmen led by Mr. Shan.
He is engaged in real estate, so it’s not like he has never come into contact with Gu Jian Bank.
To be honest, in his previous life, he knew people who really made their fortunes from ancient buildings.
Almost all the focus is on cutting corners and cheating, but there is not much real ability.
Compared with these old craftsmen, the difference is not just a little bit worse, but a huge difference.
This made him feel worried.
That is after the 1990s.
When Mr. Shan gets old and these old craftsmen can no longer work, will anyone be able to repair his ancestral house as it was?
He is not unfounded.
Don't forget, even if Mr. Shan is here, these old craftsmen are here.
Wasn't the small stone western-style building in the Hong family's old house not completed due to lack of building materials and difficulties in craftsmanship?
Later, because Mr. Shan wanted to publish a book, the matter was even further delayed.
Of course, Mr. Shan did not give up his choice.
The old gentleman specifically promised him that his daughter Shan Xiangyun, who works on the Forbidden City construction team, would continue to be responsible for this matter.
However, the actual situation does not allow it.
Because Shan Xiangyun also has to go to work.
There are actually quite a lot of things going on in the Forbidden City. People in this palace and that palace have to work overtime often.
When things got busy this time, people naturally couldn't take care of him.
Moreover, after the Hong family's old house is renovated, it doesn't mean that everything will be fine once the house is moved there.
If you think about it, you will know that it is inevitable that it will be damaged due to exposure to wind and sun.
Therefore, every year after the beginning of summer, the house must be repaired.
The roof must be plastered, plastered, bricks laid and tiles repaired, and the cracks in the walls must be repaired.
And the Hong family's house is indeed unusual, it has a big house door.
Not to mention the "golden silk nan" pavilions, they are all in the style of double eaves resting on the top of the mountain and single eaves resting on the top of the mountain.
It's really impossible for ordinary people to do it, so professionals have to do it, which adds a lot of trouble to Shan Xiangyun.
If you think about it this way, how can she find time to be busy with Shitou Xiaolou?
In fact, although she always kept it in mind.
But after a few years, 70% of the plan was planned.
I don’t know how long we will have to wait until the actual construction begins.
Think about it, under such circumstances, can Hong Yanwu's worries not become worse?
So, in fact, he had thought about setting up an ancient construction team of his own a long time ago.
Because in this way, he can not only meet his own needs, but also contract projects from outside. How good is it?
This industry in particular is thriving.
In addition to the private housing business related to courtyard houses, we can also take on projects such as park expansion and cultural relic protection.
The development prospects are very bright.
It's just that if we wanted to establish an ancient construction team at that time, we faced various difficulties, which were somewhat unrealistic.
Don’t forget, reform and opening up takes time and a process.
First of all, the policy is just one level, far from allowing private companies to start companies.
Hong Yanwu once specifically asked Song Guofu about this matter.
But the reply I got was, "A self-employed person is a self-employed person and does not have the qualifications of a legal person."
How can you hire people if you can't open a company?
Without a formal operating carrier recognized by law, how can you sign contracts and undertake projects?
Moreover, if Hong Yanwu wants to get into this business, his ultimate goal is not to make money.
He really needs it, technology is far more important than profit.
So he needs real experts like Mr. Shan or his daughter to help steer the ship.
But what kind of ideology do people these days have?
Earning some extra money is considered deviant and out of the ordinary.
Let alone Mr. Shan and his daughter, they are just old craftsmen.
It really makes people abandon their full-time jobs and go into the sea, but few people are willing to take this step.
The most important thing is, what kind of family is a single family?
We value spiritual civilization far more than material wealth.
For Gu CCB, people have lofty ideals and career pursuits.
That is to protect the cultural heritage of our ancestors for all Chinese descendants.
Facing such people, Hong Yanwu felt that he was extremely vulgar and felt quite ashamed of himself.
He believed that even if he paid a lot of money to invite someone, he would never be tempted for personal gain.
So, he kept thinking about this matter and was too embarrassed to open his mouth, so he kept putting it off.
What he is worried about is that in a few years, the country will allow private companies to exist.
He is close to Mr. Shan and his daughter. If we mention this matter again, the success rate may be higher.
But now, the situation is different again, which really forces Hong Yanwu to implement this idea in advance.
It's amazing that the house and money in his hands are getting more and more, and they have become a burden.
Let’s talk about the house first.
Don’t forget, what Hong Yanwu got back through the policy was not only the Hong family’s old house, but also his mother’s family’s house.
As for Wanyan's "Half Acre Garden", it is one of the most famous courtyards in the capital.
According to Wang Yunlin, it is a masterpiece designed by Li Yu, a garden architect in the early Qing Dynasty.
In the garden, there are mountains built with rocks, water is diverted into marshes, and there are terraces and curved rooms, which are both secluded and spacious.
The structure is tortuous, the furnishings are quaint, rich yet bookish, and extremely elegant.
Moreover, the Wanyan family is good at acting and rich.
After several generations, the family did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and built a stage that was no less styled than a royal palace.
The caisson and the colorful paintings are even more ingenious and beautiful.
Tan Xinpei, Yang Xiaolou, Mei Lanfang, and countless famous actors from the opera house have all sung on it.
Needless to say, a mansion like this must be renovated by a true expert.
Otherwise, let alone recreating the beautiful scenery of the past, I am afraid it will be ruined.
Especially in recent years, since the army's tertiary industry factory withdrew from "Half Acre Garden", no one has lived there anymore.
Nowadays, weeds are overgrown, snakes and rats are rampant, and birds are building their nests.
Some houses have even begun to leak.
If it is not renovated and maintained as soon as possible, it may become a dilapidated house and a scene like a Chinese studio.
In addition to this, there are also properties that Hong Yanwu later purchased one after another.
