Because Zhou Maochang is an architectural designer by profession, he usually works in his own home.
Therefore, Zhou Maochang was also busy at work at this time, and when he heard his wife say that someone came to visit him, he also began to guess the purpose of the visitor.
I probably don’t know this Mr. Wu, because my wife knows almost all the people I know, so I guess this Mr. Wu came to visit me to ask him to do architectural design.
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to put down the work at hand and came to the living room, where he immediately saw a young and handsome young man sitting on the sofa.
"Mr. Wu, please wait a moment!" Zhou Maochang stepped forward and said.
Li Wei also stood up immediately, smiled and said to Zhou Maochang: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you."
After the two people greeted each other, they sat opposite each other, and then they chatted for a few words. Then Li Wei smiled at Zhou Maochang and said: "Mr. Zhou, I made a special trip to see you this time, mainly because I just arrived in Shanghai.
I came, so I bought a house near Gisfield Road, but I didn’t really like the decoration style of the previous owner.”
"I heard that you are very good at the design of home-style residences, that is, the design of independent courtyards and small-area villas, so I said
I would like to ask you to redesign it for me. Is it convenient for Mr. Zhou?"
After Zhou Maochang heard Li Wei's words, he unconsciously looked at Li Wei again.
You must know that at this time, houses in the Shanghai Concession are very expensive. Compared with before the war, the price has increased more than ten times, so this young man can buy a house near Gisfield Road.
, that means this young man must come from a wealthy family.
For such a kid from a rich family, as long as his design can meet his requirements, he definitely doesn't care about money.
Thinking of this, Zhou Maochang became interested in it for a moment.
"Oh, that's it. Then Mr. Wu, do you have any style drawings of the house? Because if you want to design a house decoration, you must plan it according to the condition of the house, so I need to know the details of the house first.
Situation." Zhou Maochang did not hesitate, and then said softly to Li Wei.
"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about this, so I didn't bring the design drawings of the house today." After hearing Zhou Maochang's words, Li Wei immediately showed a helpless look, and then replied softly to him
road.
"Oh, is that so? It's okay. We can agree on a time and you can just bring the drawings." Seeing Li Wei's appearance, Zhou Maochang didn't doubt anything, and then said to him gently.
"Then thank you so much. I'm really sorry for wasting your time because of my mistake." After Li Wei heard Zhou Maochang's words, he immediately showed a trace of self-blame and at the same time expressed gratitude to him.
Zhou Maochang saw Li Wei being so polite, and his feelings for Li Wei became even better, so he immediately smiled and said: "Haha, it's okay, this is my job, why bother!"
"Mr. Zhou, I heard that there are many styles of house design nowadays. I would like to ask you, sir, which style is better?" Li Wei thought for a while, and then humbly asked Zhou Maochang for advice.
Dao, of course, this question will make people know that this is an architectural novice.
But after Zhou Maochang heard Li Wei's question, he immediately began to think deeply.
Although Mr. Wu's question is very simple, it is also a test of his ability.
In fact, this kind of question is simply child's play for him, but he still has to think carefully about how to answer it to satisfy "Mr. Wu".
Because as long as he is satisfied, the person who designs his house will definitely think of him at the first opportunity, and by then he will be able to earn a sum of money, so why not do it.
And with the start of the Sino-Japanese War, although many houses in Shanghai were destroyed by the war, a large number of designers were needed to help everyone redesign their houses.
But now, most of the buildings and streets destroyed during the war have been occupied by the Japanese, so it seems that if the Japanese rebuild these buildings, they will definitely give priority to Japanese architects.
Moreover, even if a Japanese comes to him and wants to help him design a house, he will refuse.
After all, some things cannot be changed because of money!
Therefore, he has not received a decent commission for almost a month or two, so he takes this commission from Mr. Wu very seriously.
Some money cannot be earned, but some money can be earned.
"Mr. Wu, in fact, in terms of decoration and design of current houses, each house will have a completely different style depending on the owner's background and situation."
"But now, foreign Western hard and soft decoration styles such as French, British, Indian and Nanyang styles are also integrated with our traditional Chinese styles to varying degrees, such as various Shanghai-style furniture and Chinese architectural styles.
Together."
"So although the style of each house is different, in general, they are all mixed and matched. If Mr. Wu is interested, I can show you the drawings I have designed for other people before, so that you can learn more about it."
It’s more intuitive.”
Zhou Maochang softly expressed his thoughts to Li Wei, and then extended an invitation to Li Wei.
"This is my honor. Will all the house drawings designed by Mr. Zhou be preserved?" After hearing this, Li Wei also asked Zhou Maochang with a smile on his face.
"Yes, every time I finish designing a project, I will make a copy of the drawings and keep a copy of them, and keep many outstanding inspiration designs on them as a reference for future designs." Zhou Maochang nodded gently.
, and then said to Levi.
"Please wait for me a moment."
Before Li Wei could speak, Zhou Maochang stood up and said softly...
After saying that, Zhou Maochang walked into his studio.
After watching Zhou Maochang walk into the room, Li Wei quickly stood up and followed him with gentle footsteps. Through the half-open door, he saw Zhou Maochang coming to a large closet, taking out the key from his waist, and opened it.
After searching carefully for a while, he took out a roll of drawings.
At this time, Li Wei turned around and quickly sat back on the sofa. Soon Zhou Maochang returned to the room with the drawings and spread them out. There were seven drawings in total.
