Chapter 61 The First Step of the Rich Escape Plan

April 13th, Wednesday.

Liang Qingfan, stepping onto Jingzhou's soil for the first time, curiously looked out the car window at the street scenes.

The driver sent by Tengda was skilled, driving very smoothly. He should be able to meet with that President Pei from Tengda soon.

Thinking of this, Liang Qingfan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Liang Qingfan currently worked for Gao Ling Architectural Design Co., Ltd.

Gao Ling Architectural Design Co., Ltd. was a top-tier design company in China, mainly responsible for space handling, style control, and the application of techniques in design. Its business scope included land planning, product positioning, architectural design, landscape design, interior design, and soft decoration design.

The company's specific design projects included model rooms, sales offices, clubs, shopping malls, hotels, and other leisure and entertainment venues. It had designed thousands of properties for first-tier real estate companies nationwide and enjoyed a great reputation in the industry.

The company's founder, Zhou Nanling, had won various architect awards both domestically and internationally and had even appeared on some variety shows, earning the reputation of "Magician."

In the variety show, Zhou Nanling had transformed an ultra-small apartment with only 12 square meters, a maximum height of 5.1 meters, and a minimum height of 3.1 meters, into a two-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom apartment, maximizing the use of every inch of space to meet the living needs of a family of four.

Although he designed for ordinary families on the show, in reality, it was impossible for ordinary families to hire a designer of his caliber.

Zhou Nanling and Gao Ling Design Co., Ltd. generally only accepted commercial orders exceeding one million, such as planning for high-end hotels and shopping malls, or designing model rooms for some large real estate developers.

Yesterday afternoon, the company received a call from Tengda Group, a well-known enterprise in Jingzhou, saying that they wanted to create a brand called "Sloth Apartments" and hoped to cooperate in the long term, requesting an architect to come to Jingzhou.

Zhou Nanling originally wanted to send one of his senior architects, but the other party requested that they must find an architect under the age of 30, with the reason that it was easier to understand the demands of young people.

This requirement was very outrageous.

Because the architect industry required a lot of accumulation, the older, the better. Architects under the age of forty could be called young architects, and architects under the age of 30 who could become famous were extremely rare.

Although this reason was a bit nonsensical, the client's requirements had to be met unconditionally.

Therefore, Liang Qingfan, who was 27 years old this year, was able to get this valuable opportunity to come to Jingzhou and independently take charge of such an important project.

Liang Qingfan had long heard of Tengda, because he had played the game *Sea Fortress*.

Recently, because of the movie *A Beautiful Tomorrow* and the otto phone, he knew that Tengda seemed to be more than just a game company, but also had many other industries.

But after checking Qian Du and then browsing the TPDB website, he discovered that Tengda actually had so many industries!

Especially after seeing industries such as Moyu Internet Cafe and Ming Yun Private Kitchen, Liang Qingfan was even more excited.

He couldn't help but imagine that if this cooperation could go smoothly, maybe he could take over the design work of all these industries and establish a deep cooperation!

If that happened, maybe he could set up his own business in Jingzhou and establish a new design company...

Liang Qingfan couldn't help but be filled with anticipation for the future.

"Driver, are we going to meet President Pei now?" Liang Qingfan asked.

Xiao Sun shook his head: "No, President Pei has arranged for you to go to the hotel first to settle down and have a good rest. You will meet with President Pei tomorrow to discuss work matters."

Liang Qingfan quickly said: "No need, it's not even noon yet, it's still early, and I didn't bring much luggage, just a small suitcase."

"If President Pei is available, I would like to meet him directly and talk about the project first, so that I can feel more at ease."

Xiao Sun thought for a while: "Okay, then please wait a moment, I'll call President Pei."

Xiao Sun temporarily parked the car on the side of the road and called Pei Qian, saying a few simple words.

"President Pei agreed, then I will take you directly to the City Dawn Community."

Half an hour later, Xiao Sun drove Liang Qingfan to the Dawn Community.

At the entrance of the uniquely shaped building of Sloth Apartments, Pei Qian was already waiting at the door.

Liang Qingfan hurried out of the car and went up to greet him.

"President Pei!"

"Mr. Liang!"

The two hit it off immediately and shook hands warmly.

Pei Qian looked Liang Qingfan up and down and was very satisfied with his age.

Pei Qian had put a lot of effort into finding a designer who met his needs.

Although hiring a famous designer would cost more money, it would also bring popularity. Zhou Nanling was a famous designer in China, and hiring him to design would indeed cost more money, but it was also equivalent to giving Sloth Apartments a gold-lettered signboard.

What if many people, upon hearing Zhou Nanling's name, squeezed their heads to move in?

Therefore, he couldn't hire someone too famous.

However, he couldn't hire someone too trashy either.

Mainly because Pei Qian himself planned to live there!

If he really hired a scumbag designer to design the room in a mess, then Pei Qian himself would feel upset living there. Wouldn't that be spending money to suffer?

Therefore, after considering for a long time, Pei Qian made a request to Gao Ling Design Company: find a designer under the age of 30.

This kind of designer would definitely have much less experience, and the design would not be particularly outstanding, nor would they have a great reputation, so they wouldn't "attract bees and butterflies."

At the same time, the architect recommended by Zhou Nanling should not be too bad, and would not mess up the house and make Pei Qian feel upset living there.

Considering everything, this Liang Qingfan was very suitable for Pei Qian's requirements!

And Liang Qingfan, while surprised at President Pei's youth, also saw genuine welcome and appreciation in his eyes, without any contempt or dissatisfaction.

This greatly increased Liang Qingfan's goodwill towards President Pei!

As a very young designer, Liang Qingfan often saw emotions such as "can he do it at such a young age" in the eyes of clients. Although they didn't say it, he would still feel resentful in his heart.

But President Pei's attitude made him feel like a spring breeze.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Pei Qian led Liang Qingfan to take the elevator to the model room of this building.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw the large living room that occupied a quarter of the floor plan, presenting a right-angled fan-shaped structure, with sofas, coffee tables, televisions, round dining tables, pianos, and two sets of seats by the window for drinking tea.

Overall, it was quite satisfactory.

Obviously, the developer didn't hire the top designer to do this model room, but judging from the current situation, the designer they hired was not bad, and he had tried his best.

Liang Qingfan looked around and asked, "President Pei, are all the units in this building fully furnished?"

Pei Qian nodded: "Yes."

Liang Qingfan was a little melancholy. Fully furnished meant that he couldn't make drastic changes. He couldn't just tear up the good floors and walls, smash all the useless non-load-bearing walls, and redo everything, right?

The fully furnished here was done very well, and there was no need to tear it all down, and it would greatly extend the construction period.

Liang Qingfan looked at the various furniture in the model room again: "Then, President Pei, these furniture..."

Pei Qian waved his hand: "Replace them all!"

"The reason for inviting you here is to re-customize all the soft furnishings."

"Each floor will be done according to the soft furnishing standard of more than 500,000."

"We will pay you a design fee with a 30% premium."

"As for the specific style, it is best to be a minimalist style suitable for young people, without those fancy and tacky decorations."

"All the smart home appliances that can be equipped should be equipped, the sofa must be comfortable, there must be dedicated gaming equipment, large TVs and laser projectors must be available, equipped with game consoles, game discs, soundbars, and high-end massage chairs, etc."

"In short, the name of the project is 'Sloth Apartments', which means that after young people move in, they will never want to move, just like sloths!"

Pei Qian gave a series of instructions, stating his needs.

In short, completely based on meeting his own needs as the primary goal.

As for other tenants...

It would be better if you didn't like it!

Liang Qingfan listened with some melancholy.

The needs were quite clear, but it sounded like this Sloth Apartment was a bit unreliable!

Gao Ling Design Company had also designed some soft furnishing cases, but those were all designed for the model rooms of large real estate companies, and the overall style was more luxurious and high-end.

Also known as the "garden house style."

Those who can afford this kind of large apartment are generally tycoons and rich people who prefer this "garden house style."

The minimalist style requested by President Pei was very different from the "garden house style" of Gao Ling's designed model rooms, and was relatively suitable for small apartments and young people.

But young people generally can't afford this kind of large apartment.

And President Pei's request was even more excessive, not only requiring a minimalist style and highlighting the sense of quality, but also forcibly requiring a soft furnishing standard of more than 500,000, and even filling the room with various entertainment equipment.

Then the target users of this house are too few, right?

But Liang Qingfan thought again, Sloth Apartments were for rent, not for sale.

If the rent was appropriate, some young people would probably come to rent together.

Currently, the rent in Jingzhou for a two-bedroom apartment of 60 square meters in a slightly better location is about 2,300 per month.

Based on this standard, this house can accommodate at least three to five young people renting together. As long as the rent is set at around 6,000, everyone can share it a little, and there should be many people who come to live there.

So Liang Qingfan didn't say much, just silently recorded President Pei's requirements and began to seriously consider how to carry out soft furnishing design to meet President Pei's requirements.

And Pei Qian was considering how to raise the monthly rent of this house to more than 8,000 within the system's permission, and dissuade tenants as much as possible.
