Chapter 65 High Cost
At about noon, Danzengjeb came. He came here specially after learning from the worker's phone that Lao Liu was back.
After a while of greetings, Lao Liu told Danzengjeb about the preparations for the renovation of the subsequent bungalow. Unexpectedly, Danzengjeb was very supportive.
"Brother Liu, I think this proposal from your uncle is very good!"
Looking at Lao Liu's eyes, he explained: "If you use all the fifteen bungalows in the back as single rooms, it would be a bit wasteful. But if you convert it into a guest room, it will increase your income a lot once guests check in. According to Mr. Mo, if you convert these bungalows into standard rooms with separate bathrooms, a room can give you a minimum net profit of 300 yuan a night. Of course, the condition is that you can attract customers who are staying in."
Danzengjeb said a little hesitantly and said, "I heard from my friend that recently there were a stargazing room in several villages in Bayi that was specially used for stargazing. Well, it was not the room, but a small stargazing room with an egg shaped like an egg. The upper half was transparent glass, and the lower half was a double lounge chair or a bed. My friend jokingly called this stargazing room the 'stargazing egg cabin'. However, my friend said that this stargazing egg cabin is very popular with tourists. The B&B he knows that specializes in this stargazing egg cabin is full almost every night."
After a pause, Danzengjeb said with some disdain: "In terms of scenery, I admit that there are indeed no attractions here that can be seen except for Nianqing Tanggula Mountain and Namcuo on the other side of the mountain. It is much worse than that in Bayi. But when it comes to stargazing, counting the entire plateau, places that can be better than ours, except for the Gar Astronomy Station in the west, may be counted here. Let me tell you, the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate in Namcuo on the other side of the mountain is a top stargazing location. If you can set up such a stargazing B&B here, your business will definitely be booming."
Danzengjeb's words moved Lao Liu.
However, Lao Liu knew that he had to eat bite by bite, and Ruth walked step by step. He could easily hold on if he had too much food, and could easily pull on him if he had big steps.
So Lao Liu pondered and said, "Brother Jeb, wait for the star-gazing room matters first. You can estimate for me what the budget is if all of these fifteen rooms are converted into guest rooms?"
Danzengjeb said: "Brother Liu, I will first talk about the ugly things. If you make another transformation, you will have to follow the market price. Your transformation is not within the scope of the country's policy subsidy, so I can only give you some discounts based on the market price."
"This is no problem!" Since I decided to do it, Lao Liu has never been an unambiguous person.
"Then how big a separate bathroom are you going to build? Do you need a bathtub?"
"My plan is one and a half meters wide and about three meters long. Don't have a bathtub, just a shower, there is a washbasin, toilet, and a ventilation fan. Of course, you have to help me with the water, electricity and sewers."
"Well, your bungalows are all six meters long and four meters wide. The bathroom is placed on the door side. If the width of the door is removed, it is absolutely OK to make three meters by one and a half meters, and it will not affect the use area of the guest room." Danzengjeb said as he took out his mobile phone, turned on the calculator to start calculating.
After a while, he said, "If you want to renovate such a bathroom, I suggest you don't use glass partitions. I'll make you a two-four wall. After waterproofing, the wall tiles will be installed. The cost is about the same as the glass partition, but the service life is long, so the renovation takes more time."
"That's fine. You are an expert, you have the final say." Old Liu was very straightforward.
"Well, then I'll do it roughly. You can buy toilets, wash basins, lamps, wall tiles and floor tiles by yourself. I only make waterproof, sand and gravel, suspended ceilings, water and electricity, sewers, and showers. If I want to cover it all, the minimum price per square meter will be 3,000 yuan, and a bathroom will cost four and a half square meters. A total of 13,000 yuan, fifteen rooms... Well, it's 200,000 yuan. I'll wipe the leader out for you, 200,000 yuan! How about it? If you ask me to buy toilets, wash basins, wall tiles and floor tiles and lamps, I can give it to you at the purchase price."
Old Liu looked at his uncle, saw that his uncle winked, and then smiled and said, "Brother Jeb, I'll discuss with my uncle."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Danzengjeb didn't care and turned around to check the workers' work.
"Damn, this price is expensive enough." Seeing Danzengjeb walk into a room, my uncle smacked his lips. "If it is in Tianqu, if it is not just light industry, a square meter can cost up to 700 yuan, which is still a very good decoration level. Light industry alone costs 3,000 yuan per square meter. Even if the cost of renovation and the cost of sewering is added, it is a bit outrageous. If you include wall tiles, floor tiles, toilets, and wash basins, this bathroom will have to be added at least several thousand more."
"Uncle, can you be sure that if you decorate a bathroom in Tianqu, the light industry will be about 6,700 square meters?"
"Well, this is the price of a relatively high-end decoration."
Old Liu nodded and finally decided: "The price of 3,000 per square meter is not expensive here. It is only four or five times the premium, and it is already very conscientious. My uncle, this place is not as good as our Tianqu, this is a plateau! On the plateau, unless it is in a town with a concentrated population, if you do engineering, road construction, building houses, etc. in remote areas like ours, the construction cost is five times higher than the lower one, which is the lowest starting price. In some more remote areas, the price is even ten times higher than the lower ones. Sometimes you lose money! There is really no way, there are too many restrictions."
"Damn it! So outrageous?" Tian Peng next to him was also surprised.
"Yes, it's so expensive. Everything here is expensive and the cost of living is very high. You must not compare the price below with the above, and there is no comparison at all. Brother Peng, how much does it cost to replenish a baby below?"
"It depends on what kind of tires. If you use a family car, you can make up for fifteen yuan at a time, and a few of them are ten yuan."
"Do you know how much it costs to replenish a tire here? I tell you that if a small car in Rikkong City is usually thirty yuan. If it is a remote area, it will cost at least 700 or 800 or more. I heard that on the 318 Sichuan-Tibet Line, some very remote repair shops will replenish a tire, and 300 yuan is the friendship price. For example, the Kekexili we have walked before, in such an uninhabited area, it is not uncommon to ask you for a tire of 500 or 800 yuan! Even here, it will cost at least 500 yuan to replenish a tire!"
Several people smacked their tongues together.
Mo Long smiled bitterly and said, "I understand why people want this price. According to what you said, the price they want is really not expensive."
"Uncle, then let's decide like this?"
"Well, just settle it like that! Are you enough money?"
"Enough. My dad gave me 500,000 before. I didn't spend much. Including my savings, there are more than 600,000 left on the card now, which is enough."
Chapter completed!
