Lost eight hundred million at the beginning

Chapter 23 023 This Warehouse Furniture
Professor Qiao's cousin, Qiao Yisong, is a short, strong man with the vicissitudes of life and dark skin that he has been squatting on construction sites all year round. He is wearing a gray and baggy suit, and looks much older than Professor Qiao.He was standing outside the yard, directing other people to set up fences.

Professor Qiao's business can be regarded as a small general contracting project. The cousin takes care of the cousin, and the school project will be used to declare some additional expenses for the design fee, so that the construction team can share more money.Party A deliberately mentioned expensive materials and calculated the cost separately. This is pure fat work.

Seven members of their construction team came to Beijing from their hometown. Some time ago, they just scattered to other construction sites to do odd jobs. Full.

When renovating a courtyard house in Beijing, where to report the construction procedures in advance, and how to save time by stealth, they all inquired.For example, the fences are being used now, firstly to make the city appearance management department look tidy and more formal, so as not to find faults and pick thorns, and secondly, it is convenient to block the eyes and ears of others.

Other procedures could not be done without a plan, so they went in under the pretense of cleaning up the site first. In addition to transporting garbage out, they could also secretly dismantle what needed to be dismantled. The pipelines in the yard were dug up and cleaned up first.As long as the house does not exceed the height of the fence, the patrolling department outside will take care of it, and no one will interfere with their "advance construction".

Prof. Qiao is clear about the procedures for drawings. Many of Prof. Qiao's classmates are already holding important positions in planning offices and construction committees. It is not difficult to trust people to make connections.

Professor Qiao also specifically said that this courtyard house renovation project, he will design according to the level of the International Habitat Award. The selection of such international awards is not only to review drawings, but also to have photos after completion, so the architectural level is also high. It must highlight the characteristics of our country's traditional culture.

In Qiao Yisong's team, carpenters, stonemasons, masons, oil workers, and even complicated classical paintings can do it. It is not difficult to restore a pure courtyard house. On this basis, as long as there are pictures, they will add the modern plumbing, heating, and electricity. , The money and materials are in place, they must have the confidence to make high-quality goods.

With this project proofing in the future, are you afraid that you won't be able to accept high-end jobs in Beijing?
So they put all their energy into it early in the morning, and they wanted to do it at the top level, and they couldn't lose Professor Qiao's face.What's more, the funds given by Party A are so abundant, of course they should cherish this great opportunity.

What's the point of getting up early and working late at night?The demolished garbage and discarded wood do not need to be accounted for by others. They have all been designed, and those that can be repaired and reused must be kept, helping the owner to save a little bit.

In fact, Lin Ruoyan also hoped that the courtyard house could be repaired as soon as possible. When she went to the site and saw that the workers were so active and the project site was regular and orderly, she immediately felt relieved.

She was afraid that she would always wander around the site and put pressure on the construction team, so she was about to leave when a worker shouted: "Old Qiao, come down and have a look! The basement in this yard is so big. After demolishing a wall , and a huge warehouse full of old furniture made of huanghuali wood.”

Lin Ruoyan can't leave now, there is actually a basement in this yard, and there is a lot of old furniture in the key basement.Let's not talk about the style and workmanship of those furniture, just listen to the material "huanghuali wood", which is a precious wood with the scientific name of Dalbergia Dalbergia, also known as Hainan Dalbergia and Hainan Huanghuali, second only to red sandalwood.

Huanghua pear is the main material of high-end hardwood furniture in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is favored by craftsmen in Ming and Qing Dynasties because of its yellow color, fine material, soft texture and fragrant fragrance.Due to excessive logging by the predecessors, in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the domestic huanghuali was almost extinct, and it was gradually replaced by mahogany.

Later generations know that mahogany furniture is expensive, but they don't know that it is just a substitute for huanghuali wood.Just ten years after the millennium recorded in the book, the price of huanghuali wood furniture has been rising all the way.Some people buy a simple huanghuali arhat bed for more than 3000 million yuan, and a pair of huanghuali chairs with official hats can also sell for more than 2000 million yuan.

Therefore, Lin Ruoyan followed the workers into the basement with that kind of anxiety, thinking that if there is any expensive furniture, she must notify the homeowner to take it away.

At first glance, this basement is just an ordinary cellar of about ten square meters.Back then, many old courtyard houses built cellars to store vegetables or ice cubes, so the workers didn't pay attention to this dark place at first, thinking about tidying it up in the future and using it as an ordinary utility room and equipment room.Unexpectedly, when the wall was being cleaned, a brick partition wall was smashed open, and there was a warehouse inside.

This warehouse is bigger, filled with old furniture and objects, and there is no door on the wall, and the outside is directly sealed with bricks. Perhaps the original owner's house sealed up the old things and did not want to let the latecomers find out.

The workers rummaged through a few boxes, but they were all empty except for the rotten fabrics, and there was no other calligraphy, painting, porcelain, gold or silver.Thinking that those small and soft items were probably taken away or sold off, this kind of bulky furniture items are not easy to handle, so they are sealed here.

Later, the unit that worked here did not carefully survey the various places of the house.At that time, living conditions were limited, and people's knowledge was also limited. Even if old-fashioned furniture was found, it would definitely be discarded if it had ideological taboos.There are so many rooms on the ground that can be used, and the storage of briquettes in the basement dislikes the trouble of moving up and down, so it is simply locked and done.

The unit was vacated, and the descendants of the original owner didn't live in Beijing at that time, and had the idea of ​​emigrating, so they didn't come to take a closer look.Instead, Lin Ruoyan, who bought a second-hand house, took advantage of it.

Lin Ruoyan still clearly remembered that in order to give the homeowner an extra 10 yuan, she signed a clause in the house purchase contract, saying that all the decoration and furniture in the house belonged to her. Now it seems like superfluous.

How could she have imagined that this pile of old furniture was sealed up in the basement of the yard.The key is not the broken tables and chairs, but the huanghuali wood, the Ming and Qing styles.Because it has been sealed up well, the environment in the underground sealed room is dry, and the yellow rosewood itself is also insect-proof and rot-proof, so that when the wall is pulled apart, the fragrance of the room can be smelled from far away.

Wipe off the dust on the furniture, and you can see the color of the furniture itself. It is bright yellow, smooth and clear in texture. When you lift it up to the sun and look at it, it looks golden as if it has been coated with gold leaf.

The carpenter in Qiao Yisong's team saw his eyes shine, and kept saying that he hadn't seen such good old furniture in decades.Any piece of furniture in this room, such as that pair of chairs, can be worth tens of thousands at least.

Lin Ruoyan mourned silently in her heart, thinking that if it was tens of thousands, it would be fine. After asking an expert to look at this thing, the total price is estimated to be in the millions. Fortunately, it is not made of rosewood.

Lin Ruoyan quickly contacted Professor Qiao Yizhi, asking him to see if he could find an expert to evaluate the furniture.Then she was able to contact the original owner and mail the things to others to go abroad.

It was fine if she didn't ask the experts, but when she asked, another question came up.

　Don't forget to collect it when passing by.
