God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 218 Ancient City Bricks

The main reason why Xu Jingxing dared to sign such a contract was that he believed that the project would not lose money, because the total project cost was estimated to be as high as 400 million.

With such a high project cost, as long as Qian Dong doesn't default, how can he not make a profit of 50 million?If it really doesn't work, it's okay to have thirty to fifty thousand yuan. Anyway, as long as it's not for nothing, he has no objection.

Of course, Qian Dong invested so much money, so he definitely wouldn't just let it go. He also made it clear that he would send supervisors over. No matter how the construction is done, the quality of the project must be guaranteed. The construction materials purchased must be clearly accounted for and the place of origin must be clear. Moisture.

Naturally, Ding Shuhuai would not object, not to mention that he is not the kind of person who likes to cut corners. If he was that kind of person, he would not be able to survive in the industry. After all, none of the investors are fools. There was a precedent of cutting corners once. It's hard to get a decent job.

So in today's society, no one with a little brain would dare to do such a one-shot deal. Doing that kind of thing will ruin their future, and they may even go to jail, even the little money they are greedy. To be confiscated is simply not worth the loss.

Ding Shuhuai is not that kind of person, neither is Xu Jingxing.

After signing the contract, it is time to start construction, but before the start of construction, there are still many things to do. In addition to finding a construction team, purchasing construction materials, construction tools and logistics, the most important thing is to make plans.

The sketches they made just now are for Qian Dong to see, but the next ones are for the construction workers. It is impossible for the two of them to do all of them by themselves for such a large project, and most of them have to be handed over to the workers. Therefore, a set of more detailed construction drawings must be produced to let the workers know how to start construction.

There is a difference between design drawings and construction drawings. Xu Jingxing didn't know much about this, so he didn't intervene; but he also needed to make construction drawings, but the construction drawings he made were more precisely sculpture drawings.

In Ding Shuhuai's design, wood occupies about 50.00% of the entire building, most of which need to be carved.If it is an ordinary construction team, just find a few carpenters, anyway, as long as the work is not particularly bad.

But this was a competition, so it was definitely not possible to use a carpenter to deal with it. From pattern design to material selection, carving, and installation, Xu Jingxing needed to personally participate.But if he does this, he will definitely be exhausted, so he must hand over some simple processes to the workers, such as material cutting, simple blanking, waxing and other processes, just like the work An Xin did when he followed him.

In this way, he has to make drawings in advance so that workers understand what they are going to do and how to do it.

This job is not easy, because he needs to consider all aspects of the problem, and there must be no mistakes. Once there is a mistake, the workers will start according to the wrong drawing, and correct it when they find the mistake, which will not only waste material resources, manpower, Financial resources, but also a waste of the most precious time.

So when he was drawing, he was really meticulous and meticulous. It was not enough to check it by himself, and he asked An Xin to help him check it. Girls are relatively more careful, and they can also improve An Xin's practical ability, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Of course, there is a lot of preparation work in the early stage of the project, and he still has enough time to carefully ponder these drawings. To be precise, it is only a part of the drawings, because he is doing details, but there are some details that need to wait for Ding Shuhuai to draw the frame. He can only do it later, so what he is doing now is just some fragments that don't need a frame.

Because of this, he and An Xin were relatively relaxed, and even had the opportunity to visit the ancient city wall of Kecheng.

The ancient city wall of Kecheng is relatively well preserved, and it is considered to be very good among the few ancient city walls in China. Several city gates have been preserved, showing the original style of the ancient city.

Of course, where there is an ancient city, there will be no shortage of people selling ancient city bricks.

Some people buy ancient city bricks to take back to the town house, but some people buy ancient city bricks to make inkstones.The bricks of the ancient city wall are not fired in the current way, but a very old one. The texture of the fired bricks is very similar to that of an inkstone, especially similar to that of Chengni inkstone, and even the production process is similar.

Xu Jingxing prefers Duan inkstones, but he also knows something about Chengni inkstones, because Chengni inkstones are not carved from natural stone, but fired with fine clay that has been washed like bricks, so the color of the finished product changes, the thickness of the texture, the texture The quality of ink and the speed of ink can be controlled, so in terms of practicality, it is still the Chengni inkstone, and the high-quality Chengni inkstone is not inferior to those carved from natural stone in other respects.

It can be said that apart from Duan Yan, Chengni Yan is his favorite.

He didn't have the chance to touch the high-quality Chengni inkstone, but if he had the opportunity to buy an ancient city brick to enjoy himself, that would be good.

Good-quality ancient city bricks can be made into an exquisite inkstone. Although it is different from a real good inkstone, it still feels different because it is made by yourself.

Of course, the most suitable ancient city bricks to transform into inkstones are those before the Han Dynasty. Ideal for transformation into an inkstone.

The ancient city bricks sold here are definitely not from the Qin and Han Dynasties, but because of the water network in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, mud is often used when firing city bricks. The mud is soaked in water for many years, which is equivalent to countless years of cleaning and firing. The city bricks are fine and uniform in texture, strong and firm with few pores, so they are very suitable for making inkstones.

Xu Jingxing wandered around for a while in front of the stalls selling ancient city bricks, and finally picked four city bricks. He spent 600 yuan. They were all ordinary city bricks without inscription patterns, but the texture of each piece was very delicate, and he held it in his hand. It feels like a lump of cast iron.

"Master, what are you doing with this thing?" An Xin didn't understand these things, seeing that he spent money to buy such four dark bricks, she was a little speechless.

"These things are treasures. When you are free, let's see how your master can turn them into treasures." He took two bricks and knocked them lightly twice, and there was a sound similar to metal collisions, which can be seen Hard texture.

It is quite difficult to transform these four city bricks into inkstones. It requires not only tools, but also time.

However, I will stay in Kecheng for more than three months, and there will always be some free time, and I will work slowly when I am free, and if it is not done, I will take it back to Daocheng to continue working.
