The 540th chapter magic capital (1)
Once you get the house, decorating it is a big job.
After all, this is the Children's Palace, a place for children to read and play, and there is no modern furniture that can be used for living in it.
In fact, speaking of it, Shen Guanglin has never been to the Children's Palace once since he was a child.
It is said that there are training courses for art specialties. Shen Guanglin has been forced to attend enough cram schools since he was a child, and he is afraid of them.
Let’s keep a respectful distance.
After Shen Guanglin's money was given, the government moved quickly. Such a large building was quickly vacated.
The new Children's Palace was chosen next door, and the location was simple. There were already existing houses there, all owned by the state. If you are asked to move, you have to move, and you just need to be given some compensation.
After all the trouble, not to mention the US$3.3 million, not even 1 million yuan was spent.
Moreover, everyone felt very satisfied.
Some people even wonder whether Professor Shen deliberately cheated the Great Wall Group of money. Is this a good idea and will it make it difficult for him to do so?
Shen Guanglin said, it's okay. He himself is also a shareholder of the Great Wall Group. If his laboratory in Beijing hadn't taken too much money from the Great Wall Group, he would have financed the place to buy it himself.
Professor Shen is really rich.
That is, one lecture can charge US$50,000.
The old Versailles.
Government workers feel that Professor Shen is really particular and never considers taking advantage of the country. He is just a bit old-fashioned. This house is not worth the price. He has to do this for the sake of his feelings. No one can do anything about him. .
Shen Guang Lin Xin said, in the future you will know who doesn’t understand.
There is no other house like this.
Shen Guanglin issued a price that exceeded the current value just so that when people realize its value, they will feel that Shen Guanglin did not take advantage of the country and that it was indeed worth the money.
In this way, they will not feel unbalanced.
Perhaps, this villa will be worth hundreds of millions in a few decades.
However, the US$3.3 million that Shen Guanglin paid is still a lot of money if converted into future generations. If converted into the current housing prices in Shanghai, the value-added will be even greater.
In this way, those keyboard warriors will have no objection.
However, in future generations, even if you have more money, you will not be able to buy such a house. This is the key.
We have money, but we are willful.
Since we can do charity, we can also buy a house at a high price.
However, after getting this villa, everything still needs to be renovated and all the furniture needs to be purchased again.
Fortunately, buying a house costs a lot of money, but buying furniture does not.
Li Rong is a very good home designer herself, and she suggested the design of many of the new homes for the girls in her unit.
Now, she has another place where she can use her talents.
After a long period of practice, Li Rong's talents have now been fully unleashed, and she is no longer satisfied with small decoration design. It is better to use her talents in larger buildings.
This is opportunity.
It will definitely not be decorated in the style of a mosaic villa.
That was Li Rong's shame as a designer. She never went back to live there, but her uncle's family was very happy to live there. The house was really nice and the decoration was fashionable.
Well, mosaic is a symbol of fashion in this era.
A slightly wealthy family would inlay a few small mosaic tiles on the eaves, and their taste would immediately improve.
However, Shen Guanglin said that it would be a pity if such a historic building was privatized and occupied. Otherwise, we should use it as a semi-public place.
What he means is: We can live freely, but it is best not to take it as our own, as we will feel a sense of guilt in our hearts.
"Then what do you want to do?" Li Rong asked curiously.
"I want to build it into a museum to house my collections that have nowhere to go."
"I knew you didn't have good intentions." Li Rong became angry.
However, Li Rong didn't object. They couldn't live in such a big house if they really wanted to.
Shen Guanglin has indeed collected enough collections over the years. He wants to open a private museum. This is his hobby, and she supports it.
Moreover, Li Rong also began to like those old objects, such as those antique furniture, the carving skills, and the knife-cutting style. She took it in.
Unlike Shen Guanglin, who accepts everything, Li Rong has no interest in gold, silver, calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, and she just likes furniture.
Shen Guanglin said, "Your hobby is very unique, and you look a bit like Chen Lihua."
"Who is Chen Lihua?" Li Rong cheered up instantly.
"A wealthy woman from Xiangjiang, about forty or fifty years old, is a serious collector of Tang Monk." Shen Guanglin explained that she was already a middle-aged woman, so don't be nervous.
Li Rong's expression really relaxed: "Tang Monk? Are you talking about "Journey to the West"? This TV series is really good. I heard that this TV series will be exported to earn foreign exchange."
After listening to Li Rong's words, Shen Guanglin was surprised to find that "Journey to the West" had already started to be broadcast on the TV station. He had been out of society for too long and had forgotten everything he should pay attention to.
That's right, the 1986 version of Journey to the West. It's already 1986, so it's not surprising that it will be released this year.
"Rong Rong, who is your favorite in Journey to the West?"
"Of course it's Sun Wukong. He has great resistance and will never surrender in the face of evil forces..."
"Is it what I despise the most?" Shen Guanglin smiled.
"Why?"
"Let's talk about the chapter in the peach garden. The Seven Fairies came to pick peaches. He trapped the man and left the Seven Fairies to pick the peaches. Then he turned around and stole the peaches. A monkey is indeed a monkey."
"rogue!"
Then, the two people started playing hooligans in the huge villa.
Not to mention, acting in such an empty place, there are still echoes of um um ah ah ah, it is quite a taste.
After Li Rong received a few slaps in the face, Shen Guanglin also said that he would not open his private museum so soon, and would not really consider it for at least a few years.
Two reasons: first, take advantage of the current low prices to collect more collections. Second, the social atmosphere has been unstable in the past few years, and it will be completely stable after entering the 1990s.
Now let’s decorate it like a private residence, leave more guest rooms, and try not to change the original layout.
Duplicitous man!
However, Li Rong still started redesigning.
Of course, Shen Guanglin was not idle either. He went to Jiaotong University to give one or two lectures. If this was about cultivating immortality, he was gathering his will power and striving to ascend as soon as possible.
In view of the good relationship between the two parties, the school leaders of Jiaotong University invited Shen Guanglin to serve as a visiting professor at the school, and Shen Guanglin happily agreed.
If there are too many lice, don’t bite them; if there are too many debts, don’t worry.
Shen Guanglin has served as a visiting professor in many schools, and Nankai in China is an example, not least of which is this one.
Of course, it is indeed impossible for him to serve as a visiting professor and let Shen Guanglin give lectures.
But the good thing is that Shen Guanglin actually came to the school to work.
It wouldn't work if he didn't come. Li Rong was busy decorating his new home every day, and he had no place to go. He could only hang out in the school.
As a teacher, the most inseparable thing is the campus.
Speaking of which, Jiaotong University has a long history. It was established two years earlier than Beijing University. It was founded in 1896 by the chaebol Sheng Xuanhuai in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. This Westernizer also had a life of ups and downs, with mixed reviews.
It was he who single-handedly defeated Hu Xueyan, an unparalleled official and businessman, and it was also he and Li Hongzhang who finally parted ways and died in old age.
Of course, the Sheng family has left many stories in Shanghai, and the love story between his daughter, Miss Sheng Qi, and Song Ziwen is also an interesting rumor in Shanghai.
It is said that in her later years, Miss Sheng Qi, whenever she smoked a cigar, she would drag a small chair and sit elegantly at the door, watching the people coming and going on the road through the layers of smoke.
At that time, there was a street market on the roadside, and there was a constant flow of people buying and selling vegetables.
Someone who didn't know her walked past her door. Judging from the way she sat holding a cigar and the fragrant smell of the cigar, she must be a young lady from a wealthy family.
