Chapter 2 Preparing to Start Construction
Father Lin thought for a while and said, "Actually, if we want to build a house, we have a good choice in mind. What do you think of the village chief's house?"
The village chief's house was naturally the most luxurious in the village, but in Lin Ran's opinion, it was really the style of the nouveau riche.
The foundations are laid wide and open, and the structures of the rooms are also of different sizes, which can only be described as rough.
Mother Lin smiled and said, "I think it's good. Do you know the engineering team that built the village chief's house?"
"Of course we know each other. I worked with them before." Lin's father immediately decided to contact them.
But Lin Ran rejected it.
"Their architectural style is really bad, and don't you think their level is very low?" Lin Ran sighed.
The purpose of rebirth is to give the family a better life.
How can you find an ordinary engineering team to build your family's house to pieces?
Besides, they were acquaintances of the village chief.
If they find cultural relics unearthed from Lin Ran's house, will they complain to the village chief privately?
On the surface, the village chief is polite to his family, but unlike the village party secretary, he knows antiques.
It would be difficult to occupy it in the name of the village's collective cultural relics.
"What should we do?" Father Lin was confused. Didn't his son ask him to contact the engineering team just now?Why did he refuse the proposal now?
When it comes to beautiful houses, Lin Ran thinks of a person.
Zheng Xueming!
The courtyard where they lived was actually just an area, and every house in it was self-built, not the villas of the same style from later generations.
A villa with red walls and black tiles was the perfect configuration in Lin Ran's mind.
He had an idea: "Dad, Yang Jianlong actually knows a lot of people from the engineering team in the city. How about I ask him to introduce a few of them?"
Father Lin said: "The engineering team in the city is indeed much better than the engineering team in the village, but in terms of price..."
He still feels a little worried about money.
"It doesn't matter. I'll ask Yang Jianlong to introduce a relatively affordable engineering team." Lin Ran said.
Immediately, he went to the entrance of the village and called Yang Jianlong's home.
Not long after Yang Jianlong returned home, he showed Zheng Xueming the money he had earned, and was praised by his father-in-law.
Feeling very proud, I answered the phone and heard Lin Ran's voice, and asked happily: "Godfather, what's wrong?"
"Our family is going to build a new house. I wonder if you have a reliable engineering team that you can recommend?" Lin Ran asked straight to the point.
"Godfather, you have found the right person. Baimao is doing engineering." Yang Jianlong said, "I will make arrangements for you now."
"Well, but if you think about the price, my family is not as rich as yours." Lin Ran joked on the phone.
"It's easy to say, why spend so much money? It's enough to live in it!" Yang Jianlong agreed wholeheartedly. Since it was his godfather's request, he would go find someone else.
Then Yang Jianlong asked again: "Godfather, how are you considering the boutique store plan you mentioned this morning?"
"We have some ideas, but it's not convenient to talk about it on the phone. Let's talk about it when we meet next time. When will you find the engineering team for me?" Lin Ran was anxious about this matter.
He still didn't know what form the cultural relics buried underground took.
Are they scattered and buried underground, or is there a basement or even a tomb?
No one told him in his memory, so the engineering team he was looking for must be very trustworthy, able to keep secrets, and work efficiently.
As for the handicraft mass production store, Lin Ran had a rough idea.
Tang Sancai and Chinese paintings are their main imitation objects, but they can be improved on this basis.
In their store, customers will be told directly that this is an imitation of a certain porcelain from the Tang Dynasty. The craftsmanship is exactly the same, except that it was not dug out of a tomb, but fired in a kiln.
Of course, the location of the shop should be in the city, and the place where they burn the kiln should naturally be in a relatively private location.
But Lin Ran had a bolder idea in his mind.
After all, he didn't plan to actually open a factory, which would have gone against his original intention.
In this era, there were also porcelain factories that could produce ceramic crafts.
All that is needed is to make the prototype of Wei Chengbin's Tang Sancai and send it as a master to the factory, asking them to imitate it.
A hundred or so copies of each handicraft are enough.
Moreover, the name of the factory can be directly put on the stage, which can also protect Wei Chengbin and Li Yuanhao behind the scenes.
Imitations of Tang Sancai can be priced according to size, ranging from 100 to 300 yuan.
As for Li Yuanhao's paintings, handmade products of his level cannot be mass-produced.
It can be sold in the name of high imitation, and it is no problem to sell it for 500 to 1000.
After all, for wealthy people, all they want is an arty style, and whether it is authentic or not is not that important.
Wei Chengbin and Li Yuanhao also need to buy a workshop for them. The location of the workshop is best in Xialin Village so that they can communicate at any time.
After all, Tang Sancai handicrafts must be distinguished from genuine products. In fact, selling them in the name of high imitations is not Lin Ran's ultimate goal.
As a person in the Internet era, Lin Ran understands deeply.
If you want to survive and increase the unit price per customer, the most important thing is the brand.
The price premium of a product largely depends on the brand.
In the 80s, foreign brand items were extremely expensive, which took advantage of people's psychology.
Over time, as national consciousness awakens, their brands will also grow.
A rough estimate is that it costs a few dollars for a factory to produce a Tang Sancai handicraft.
At first they might only sell for a dozen yuan, but as they became famous, they gradually built a brand.
Profit margins and future prospects are impressive.
As for Wei Chengbin and Li Yuanhao, they naturally have to hide their identities.
The origin of the product cannot be traced to others.
Because they also shoulder the task of replacing the civet cat with the prince.
So Lin Ran decided to partner with Yang Jianlong. Yang Jianlong's contacts were enough to cover all walks of life in the capital, whether it was helping to attract customers in the early stage or solving problems encountered.
He is a suitable candidate. Anyway, he has no achievements in antiques. As long as he can make money and become famous, I believe Yang Jianlong will not refuse.
On the way home, Lin Ran planned the future in his mind and became even more confident and powerful.
When his family members saw the happy look on his face, they knew that he must have found someone.
Father Lin couldn't help feeling that his son had really grown up. Whether it was his ability to make money or his connections, he had gone far beyond the scope of Xialin Village!
