Chapter 179 Meeting Mei Lan for the first time
the next day.
Gao Yuan took Lin Wanyu to Hangcheng Lanhe Decoration Company in the morning.
When he was renovating the Heaven and Earth Club, Gao Yuan was still thinking about not using the renovation card first and using it on the renovation of the Science and Technology City.
Later he rejected the idea.
The reason is actually very simple, it’s too conspicuous!
Because the Tiantianrenjian Club has the previous decoration foundation, it can be said to be renovated, but Buildings 2 and 3 of the Science and Technology City are pure rough buildings.
If the decoration is completed in a short period of time, unless there is a god doing the decoration, he will not be able to explain it.
On the other hand, the Heaven and Earth can be put into use before the decoration is completed, and the benefits can be seen immediately. However, the decoration of Buildings 2 and 3 is actually not urgent.
Whether it is a pregnancy center, a law firm or a security company, it is still an empty shell and needs a certain amount of time to be perfected. This period of time can be used to slowly decorate it.
As for the decoration company, Gao Yuan asked Li Lin about it.
As a local snake in Hangzhou, Li Lin actually knew a lot more than Gao Yuan. In order to reduce the cost of trial and error in selection, Gao Yuan did not feel embarrassed at all.
Li Lin also understood Gao Yuan's purpose of finding a decoration company. If he guessed correctly, it was to decorate the other two buildings in the Science and Technology City.
So he directly recommended Lanhe Decoration. The reason is actually very simple.
First, Building 1 of Science and Technology City was decorated by Lanhe Decoration. The purpose of the decoration at that time was also to provide a model.
Second, Lan He decorated his investment company with investment and a large shareholding.
Li Lin didn't hide any of this and told Gao Yuan directly.
When Gao Yuan heard that Building 1 of Science and Technology City was decorated by Lanhe, his eyes lit up.
He is very satisfied with the overall decoration of Building 1, especially the entire space design, which makes people feel very comfortable and does not make people feel depressed.
Of course, Gao Yuan would not choose Lanhe decoration casually. He had learned about it before coming.
Lanhe Decoration is a decoration enterprise with national first-class qualifications. It has Class A design qualification and is a member of the National Decoration Association. Its headquarters is in Shangcheng District, Hangzhou.
This decoration company mainly provides enterprise-level services, such as large-scale decoration projects for office buildings and parks.
Unlike some companies, although they have a good reputation, they mainly focus on home decoration, and the largest project they do is just villa decoration and renovation.
Therefore, Gao Yuan was already somewhat inclined to choose Lanhe decoration.
Even so, Gao Yuan felt that he wanted to come and see it again.
The purpose of the visit is not to examine the professionalism of Lanhe Decoration, but to see the decoration situation and service of Lanhe Decoration's own company.
Generally, you can tell a lot from the performance of employees, and these will also be the reasons for Gaoyuan to choose this company.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Gao Yuan took Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing to the lobby of the Ocean Terminal, where he saw Ling Yue already waiting here.
This was also the address he sent to Ling Yue today. Yesterday, he agreed to go see the decoration together, so he called Ling Yue over today.
Moreover, the decoration and design funds for the two buildings are at least tens of millions, and Ling Yue, a barrister, can get free contract consultation.
but,
When Gao Yuan saw Ling Yue, he found that the circles under Ling Yue's eyes were a bit serious.
Ling Yue is a little different from other women. She never puts on makeup and only uses some skin care products, so Gao Yuan can tell that she didn't sleep well last night.
"You were so excited that you didn't sleep well last night?"
Gao Yuan and Ling Yue made a joke.
"Fortunately, I worked on the plan overnight."
Ling Yue glanced at Gao Yuan and said coldly.
She did not sleep all night last night, and she was indeed working on the law firm's plan, but she did not just do these things.
Maybe it was because she was ovulating these days, or maybe it was because she told Gao Yuan yesterday that she could give Gao Yuan a baby, which made her secretly do something bad last night.
After she saw Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing next to Gao Yuan just now, she cursed Gao Yuan in her heart for being a scumbag and a philanderer.
But it was precisely because of what she said yesterday that her face felt a little hot.
Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing also knew Ling Yue. He also told them last night that he would partner with Ling Yue to open a distant law firm, so Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing didn't care.
The main reason is that in the consciousness of Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing, Ling Yue is not Gao Yuan's type. As women, they both feel that Ling Yue is too cold, and few men should like her.
The four of them got in the elevator and went directly to the 12th floor.
Lanhe Decoration has a full 4-story office area in Hisense Building. Lanhe bought these four floors himself, so Lanhe renovated and designed these four floors.
Gao Yuan walked into the front desk of the hall decorated by Lanhe and found that their decoration was really unique. Various elements were combined to form a post-modern style.
Overall, the space has a strong sense of space and is full of simple beauty, which is in line with Gaoyuan's positioning of the decoration of the science and technology city.
As soon as the four people came in, the beautiful woman at the front desk warmly received them and asked them if they had an appointment with the designer.
After Gao Yuan said he didn't have an appointment, the beauty smiled and took them to a secluded reception area the day before yesterday. After learning that Gao Yuan was going to renovate an office building, she said she could recommend a designer to him first.
Next, the beautiful woman at the front desk enthusiastically made a pot of tea for the four of them and put it on the table. After asking a few people to wait, she started to help Gao Yuan contact the designer.
"Shui Shui, come to the front desk quickly, a new customer has arrived."
"Let me tell you, he is super handsome, and judging from his outfit, he is definitely a big customer."
The beautiful receptionist went directly to the designer area, ran to a young girl, lay down in her ear and whispered in her ear.
When the girl named Shuishui heard what the beauty at the front desk said, she immediately stopped what she was doing, picked up the beauty at the front desk and walked outside.
"Qingqing, do you really have a big customer?"
Shuishui asked with some excitement.
"Absolutely a big customer, you still don't believe my eyes?"
"Those four people probably wear a million dollars in total!"
"And it's for renovating office buildings."
Qingqing, the beauty at the front desk, curled her lips and said to Shuishui next to her with slight dissatisfaction.
She has a very good relationship with the designer named Shuishui. They both just graduated from college and applied for jobs at Lanhe Decoration.
It's just that Qingqing came here to meet single Wang Laowu, while Shuishui came here to express her design ambitions.
Unfortunately, neither girl's wish came true.
Qingqing didn't meet her Prince Charming here, but she did meet a lot of middle-aged greasy men. Shuishui didn't have a chance to show off her design ambitions, and was busy rushing out drawings for other designers every day.
Her design concept may be too unrealistic and not recognized by customers.
"Come on, I'll take you there, take good care of it."
Qingqing said, taking Shuishui's hand and walking towards the reception room.
Gao Yuan poured a cup of tea for the three of them. Seeing that the tea was made from small green oranges, Gao Yuan liked this very much and was very satisfied with the taste of this company.
He just took a sip and found that the tea was not bad. It was not the low-end and inferior tea that was used to make trouble for others. This company really paid attention to the details and did a good job in the details.
The three of them were sipping tea, and Qingqing, the beautiful woman at the front desk, knocked on the door and came in. Gao Yuan saw a girl following her, who must be the designer who was going to be introduced to them.
Although this girl looks younger and greener, Gao Yuan admires her clothes very much, and he does not look down on her because the designer is young.
In the past, he also met some young people in the company. Although they were not very experienced, their ideas were very advanced.
"Mr. Gao, this is Ren Shui, the designer I recommend to you. If you are not satisfied in any way, I can recommend a new designer to you."
Qingqing said this to Gao Yuan in front of her friends.
This is Lanhe's requirement. Every front desk receptionist must say this to customers. The purpose is to help customers choose the most suitable designer.
At the same time, it is also to reduce the loss of customers.
After seeing Gao Yuan nod and leave, Qingqing also walked out of the reception room, giving Shuishui a cheering look before leaving.
"Hello Mr. Gao, I am Lanhe designer Ren Shui. It is my honor to serve you."
After Qingqing left, Ren Shuihui took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said to Gao Yuan.
"Sit down and let's talk."
Gao Yuan nodded.
"Mr. Gao, where is the office building you need to decorate?"
After Ren Shui sat down, he took out an office tablet and began to record Gao Yuan's requests.
"Xiaoshan Science and Technology City."
Ren Shui's writing pen paused obviously, and then quickly recorded again, and the expression on his face became more enthusiastic.
"Mr. Gao, the office prices in Xiaoshan Science and Technology City are among the best in Hangzhou, and they are sold on the entire floor. Not only do you have a good vision, you are also so strong."
"The entire building in Building 1 of Xiaoshan Science and Technology City was designed and decorated by our company. I can show you our single-story decoration design drawing."
Gao Yuan looked at the tablet handed over by Ren Shui. It was basically the same as the physical decoration he saw in Building 1. After flipping through it a few times, he pushed the tablet to Ren Shui again.
"I also want to renovate the entire building here, not just one floor."
Gao Yuan said lightly.
"It's okay, we all have experience."
Ren Shui just said something and suddenly realized something was wrong. Mr. Gao was not talking about a certain floor, but also the decoration of the entire building.
This means that Mr. Gao bought the entire six-story building!
Ren Shui had learned about the company's project before. It would cost nearly 200 million to buy an entire building, and the decoration was definitely a big project.
Even for Lanhe Company, even just one such project a year can make enough money.
As the chief designer, let alone that.
Ren Shui opened her mouth slightly, couldn't help but take a breath, and apologized to Gao Yuan again and again: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, I didn't expect you to decorate the entire building."
"I can't make the decision on this project. I need to report it to our design director and boss."
Ren Shui did not get carried away just because this was a big project. She knew very well that she would not be able to complete such a big project on her own.
Although she has some ideas in design, her experience is indeed not as good as those of the company's older designers.
Especially the Xiaoshan Science and Technology City project is a project that the company has done. It is impossible for her to compete with those old designers, and for such a big project, from the company's perspective, she will not be handed over to a new designer. .
"Mr. Gao, can you tell me the decoration style and decoration budget you want?"
Ren Shui couldn't help but ask.
Although she knew that she might not be the chief designer, she still wanted to participate in this project. If she followed the entire project, she felt that she would be able to absorb a lot of experience.
This is far better than sitting in the office assisting other designers to do some scattered work.
“The style should be Chinese simple style!”
This is the decoration style of a pregnancy center, because the secret recipe is a traditional Chinese medicine recipe. If it is used in a modern and simple style, it will be a bit nondescript.
Moreover, the Chinese decoration style will appear more majestic and heavy.
"As for the decoration budget, let's start with 50 million."
Ren Shui secretly clicked his tongue.
She was so shocked that she felt slightly dazed.
The renovation budget started at 50 million yuan. The previous renovation cost of Xiaoshan Science and Technology City was only 30 million yuan. Mr. Gao unexpectedly increased the decoration budget by 20 million yuan.
This kind of financial resources really suits this outfit!
"Mr. Gao, please wait a moment, I need to report."
Ren Shui stood up and bowed to Gao Yuan and said something. After seeing Gao Yuan nod, he turned around and left the reception room.
In fact, Gao Yuan doesn't think the decoration budget is high. After all, it is a Chinese-style decoration, which is different from the modern decoration.
Many things need to be customized, and in order to show off the style, some things are not just simply placed, but must form a complete system.
This not only tests the designer's design ability and cultural heritage, but also tests the decoration company's ability.
Ren Shui left the reception room and went straight to the design director's office. When he told the design director about the matter, the design director repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of the matter and took her directly to the boss's office.
As the design director, Li Yong felt that this matter was beyond his decision-making scope and must be reported to his boss.
But he was very smart, because he had never met Gao Yuan and was not sure whether this thing was 100% true, so he took Ren Shui over directly.
I will definitely let Ren Shui talk about this matter later. Whenever there is a problem, it is Ren Shui's fault.
What Li Yong didn't expect was that when he appeared in the boss's office with Ren Shui, after Ren Shui reported to the boss, the boss immediately stopped what he was doing, stood up and said, "Let's go, a distinguished guest is here."
Li Yong didn't know, but Mei Lan, as Lanhe's boss, knew exactly what was going on.
Li Lin called her this morning and told her that Gao Yuan might go to Lanhe for inspection and asked her to receive him well.
He also told her that this time was likely to be a big project involving two buildings in Xiaoshan Science and Technology City, and specifically told Mei Lan that it was best not to open her mouth too loudly.
But Mei Lan felt something was different. Li Lin was also a shareholder of Lan He, and usually would not interfere with Lan He's management.
Today, he told her so carefully that she should receive Gao Yuan well and that she should not open her mouth like a lion, which meant just a small profit.
This was not like the eldest son of the Li family she knew.
So during this time in the morning, Mei Lan also learned about the Yuanfang Company that Li Lin mentioned.
This understanding revealed that Gao Yuan is really powerful. He has been so successful in starting a skin care product company in just over a month.
But she always felt that Li Lin would not have this attitude just because of such a company. There must be something behind it that she didn't know about, or something that Li Lin had hidden from her.
Mei Lan walked towards the reception room that Ren Shui mentioned. Whether it was because of Li Lin's instructions or because of the big project brought by Gao Yuan, she, the boss, must receive Gao Yuan well.
Gao Yuan and others were drinking tea and chatting in the reception room. Through Ren Shui's performance just now, he had a very good impression of Lanhe's decoration. As long as there were no big problems with Lanhe's design plan and decoration cost, he would most likely decide. Here it is.
Just as Gao Yuan was drinking a cup of tea, the door of the reception room was pushed open.
After Ren Shui opened the door of the reception room, he stood aside and a tall, mature woman stepped in.
She was wearing a black professional suit, with a sassy and cold face paired with slightly seductive eyes, and her gestures showed an indifferent and unfazed calmness.
Gao Yuan could tell that this woman's skin was well maintained. Her skin was as white and tender as if it had been soaked in milk. Just looking at the condition of her skin, she looked less than thirty.
But Gao Yuan noticed the traces of time left in the corners of her eyes and between her brows.
This is a mature woman, and an elegant mature woman at that.
Ren Shui walked between Mei Lan and Gao Yuan and introduced Gao Yuan with a smile: "Mr. Gao, this is our Mr. Mei who was decorated by Lanhe."
"Who is this"
Before Ren Shui finished the introduction, Mei Lan took a step forward and stretched out her white hands towards Gao Yuan.
"Mr. Gao, welcome to Lanhe."
"My name is Mei Lan, you can just call me by my name."
Mei Lan showed a very clear smile to Gao Yuan, which gave Gao Yuan a good first impression of her.
When he first joined Lanhe Company, he felt that the entire design style was very good. At that time, he was thinking that Lanhe's boss had good aesthetics and taste.
Unexpectedly, the boss is also a mature lady, which suits Gao Yuan's taste very well, and he can't help but have a glint in his eyes.
"Hello, Mr. Mei, your company is doing great in the industry, and Mr. Li highly recommended it, so I took the initiative to visit you."
The two parties exchanged a few polite words, and Gao Yuan and the other four also arrived at Lan He's conference room under the leadership of Mei Lan.
This time, Mei Lan personally hosted it.
The four people on Gao Yuan's side naturally belong to the audience and are the ones making requests.
In addition to Mei Lan, the remaining attendees of Lanhe's meeting were Li Yong, the design director, Zhao Mingqing, the chief designer who completed the design of Building 1 of the Science and Technology City last time, and Qi Dong, Lanhe's construction director.
Originally, Ren Shui was not qualified to participate in such a meeting. When Ren Shui served everyone and was about to leave, he was stopped by Gao Yuan.
"Let this designer stay!"
Although Mei Lan was a little surprised by Gao Yuan's request, she still smiled and asked Ren Shui to stay.
The customer's requirements are always the first criterion, not to mention that Gao Yuan is the person Li Lin has asked to receive him well.
Ren Shui nodded obediently and sat at the back of the conference table. She looked at Gao Yuan with grateful eyes.
This scene gave Lin Wanyu some ideas, and she couldn't help but look at Ren Shui a few more times.
But soon, Lin Wanyu's attention was focused on Mei Lan.
