Chapter 160 A bold idea!

"Here, this drawing is on the guest, mainly living here and here, right? Then did my family and I live in this place?"

Zhang Yaming looked at the drawings and tried to point to the three-story attic beside the vegetable field, and the Siheyuan. These seemed to be where guests lived, and the buildings behind the pond behind the Siheyuan seemed to be where he and his family lived.

But it feels a bit inconvenient, that is, you have to pass through the courtyard, without any supremacy.

"Yes, yes, that's what we thought at the beginning!"

"No, it's not convenient to enter and exit the courtyard. You have to open another road. And you have to make all pedestrians not afraid of sunshine or rain. It's best to build some corridors and the courtyard. I suggest that it's smaller, you can build three to four."

"This is a house that can be used for some special guests to come in with entourage or others, so that the quality will be much better. In addition, the kitchen and other places have to be designed to make them as convenient as they are at home."

"As for the yard I live in behind this pond, I think you have to have a concept, that is, the most important place in Paradise Island is still here. This place should be large in size, be particularly comfortable to live in, and all rooms should be ventilated and sunny!"

"Although it is a Chinese-style building, you have to consider the climate on the island, especially in case of a typhoon or something, the house must be particularly sturdy and easy to maintain, otherwise I will have a headache in the future!"

Zhang Yaming pointed out a little bit of small problems very seriously, and the part he seemed a little dissatisfied with was the same Chinese-style building that could not show the style of his house!

Moreover, Zhang Yaming likes to use logs and does not like paints and paints. No matter how environmentally friendly the paints are, he doesn't like them very much. He likes furniture and decorations with wood grain and even exudes the original fragrance of wood.

Zhang Yaming emphasized this point, and the yards used to make guest rooms are referenced to the ones I saw in the capital of China before. Those yards are added with some kitchens, and those kitchens need to use exquisite ceramics and wood from China, so that they have characteristics.

Zhang Yaming said, William nodded while the two people behind him kept using computers to record what Zhang Yaming said, so that their company could use this as a reference and know how to improve the changes so that customers could be fully satisfied.

When they talk about this house, they each have their own opinions. William is also a Huaxiatong, and he has his own unique insights into the ancient buildings of China. He has a good control over some details, which makes Zhang Yaming feel very comfortable when he hears his suggestions!

It was this feeling that Zhang Yaming had already made a decision in his heart!

"William, remember what I said just now. Then make changes, and then confirm the last drawings again and again. I will give me a detailed quote and some introduction to the quality and disadvantages of all materials. I think if you do it to satisfy me, the house on Paradise Island will be left to you to build!"

"I just want to know, how long does it take for you to build such a large project?"

In fact, what Zhang Yaming is most concerned about is the progress of the project. A beautiful paradise island cannot be knocked everywhere, which is too unsightly. In fact, many things can be done in other places, and then they can only be transported by boat. Then assemble them on Paradise Island.

That way, the speed is very fast!

"If we use the fastest speed, hundreds or thousands of people will be transferred to work, it may take ten months!"

William looked at the drawings and also the areas that Zhang Yaming asked for improvement. In fact, the project volume is very large. Several buildings must be started at the same time, otherwise it will not be completed in a short period of time. Moreover, the carvings on these Chinese buildings must be found in China, and then carefully crafted from the beginning, and they will be used in the middle and late stages of the project.

Mainly those things take time!

"Can't you be faster?"|

Ten months have actually been very fast. After all, the area to be built is very large, but Zhang Yaming still felt a little awkward when he hit Paradise Island in ten months.

"This can be faster, but if you delay this place and focus on building these three courtyards and this three-story loft, it will probably be fine in six months. And we can start construction of several buildings together, and some buildings will be built in other places and then assembled on the island!"

"But because this is an island, six months is already the fastest speed. If it is faster, the quality of the construction will be sacrificed, which is really not worth the effort!"

William thought about it and said something was pertinent, because it was a Chinese-style building with a large area, unlike some steel and cement piles. It would still take advantage of modern tools for six months, otherwise it would not work at all.

"Well, okay, six months are only six months. I can wait until this time. The house I live in is slowly built, and I must have the best and most comfortable one!"

After Zhang Yaming made up his mind, he suddenly felt enlightened. Although it took a lot of money to build these Chinese-style buildings, this was the first time he had a lot of money to build a large amount of money in the place where he lived on Paradise Island.

In the hearts of Chinese people, only if they have a house can they have a home, and only if they have a family can they settle down and truly fall in love with this place.

For Zhang Yaming, although he likes Paradise Island very much, he has not yet established his roots here. Only when he has a house built and approved by himself on Paradise Island and has his own home, this place will penetrate into his bones.

Zhang Yaming and William were able to chat with each other, so they kept him on the island at night, and his two assistants rushed back overnight to design and modify the artworks.

In the evening, Zhang Yaming and William talked about the ancient buildings in China. Some of them were made of pure wood and were very strong enough to erect several floors of buildings that were hundreds or thousands of years old. At that time, there was no steel and cement. How did they do it?

There is also the Great Wall that stretches among the mountains and hills, like a giant dragon, how to move such steep mountains, such large stones and bricks, and how to build it so long, and some arrow towers are so strong and reasonable. These are all topics of interest to them.

The two talked from the Great Wall to some ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as some old houses located in remote places a hundred years ago, many old houses with archaeological value, but they had no sense of protection, but they were facing the risk of demolition. There were also some coastal places, in order to open the way for the economy, many ancient buildings that were not very old in the past were demolished!

Zhang Yaming has never paid attention to these before. At most, he only went to a few very famous attractions in China. With a tour group or a quick look, he has never paid attention to those unfamous ancient folk buildings like William.

"Are you all saying true? Those old houses that are more than a hundred years old, with wood carvings and window frames, will be demolished when they are intact. Isn't that a pity?"

Zhang Yaming was very interested in William's words. As a Chinese, he was not as good as a mixed-race child with only one-quarter of Chinese blood in this blood. He was really ashamed.

"It's true. I can show you some pictures. When I was on vacation, the most I ran was to go to the Chinese people. I wanted to buy a piece of land in the future, and then when I encountered a suitable ancient building, I bought it, then dismantled them bit by bit, shipped to the UK in a package, and then restored it to build a house I like!"

"In this case, I don't have to always go to China to see the ancient Chinese-style house I like, but that cost too much. Only after I do more business and get a high bonus can this goal be achieved!"

When William said this, he shrugged his shoulders with regret, but he was not discouraged. He planned to do that if he had the chance in the future.

"Well, you have a good idea. Do you have any houses you like? I think some courtyards on my paradise island can be moved one by one. Do you think this is feasible?"

Zhang Yaming suddenly said such words, but a hint of surprise flashed in William's eyes. Then he quickly cheered and almost gave Zhang Yaming a hug.

"My friend, I think you and I have gone together. You have never seen those big houses. They are really beautiful and strong. They are simply the crystallization of the wisdom of Chinese people. Unfortunately, many people sell those houses very cheaply, or simply demolish and rebuild those houses with cement steel bars. I think it's a pity!"

"I really don't know what those people think. Are they not buying a box and returning a bead? You said the word I used is right? If you really think the same as I think, I will help you contact such a place and offer the offer. Maybe the speed will be faster then!"

When William talked about these things, he was very flirting with Zhang Yaming. At that time, he showed Zhang Yaming the photos of the old house he had seen for a hundred or two years, and explained in detail to him that some of the feasibility of demolition and reconstruction of some houses.

According to William's meaning, some old houses with larger ones can be selected and the treasures that were demolished can be built to build a small courtyard. The three courtyards that Zhang Yaming asked for cannot be made of all the old materials from the old houses.

At least you can try to build a quadrilateral yard or other folk old house styles!
