Xiao Churan heard this, helplessly shook his head, lamented: “You’re right …… to really return this car, I reckon they both can’t get over this thing in the next year or two …… ”
Xiao Churan also said with some concern, “Honey, that Miss Zhan, the offer is a bit too generous …… you just took time to give her a feng shui reading this morning, and she gave her such an expensive car, it’s not quite right…”
Ye Chen casually said, “There’s nothing inappropriate, she’s asking for something from me.”
Xiao Churan hesitated for a moment and spoke, “This afternoon, a girl surnamed Chen came to the company to look for me, saying that she came to make an appointment with me on behalf of that Miss Zhan to meet and talk about the renovation of the Water Cloud Villa ……”
“Oh?” Ye Chen asked with interest, “That Miss Zhan, is she preparing to find you to renovate the villa?”
Xiao Churan nodded and said, “It sounds like it should be.”
Saying that, Xiao Churan pursed her lips and opened her mouth, “That Miss Chen gave me a rough idea of the budget, and it was said that it was going to cost fifty million to renovate that villa, and the design fee alone was a separate five million ……”
In the domestic home improvement market, users generally do not recognise design fees.
Ordinary designers can easily spend hundreds of yuan a square metre on design fees, which in most people’s opinion is completely robbery in general.
Therefore, most people looking for a decorator to renovate their home will ask the decorator to waive the design fee.
Most decorators will also be more confused, already formed design template directly to the customer to pick a pick, basically even if the work is finished.
The client does not have to pay for the design, but the result seems to be satisfactory, so over time, people are more reluctant to pay for the design.
This is also the current situation of many designers in China.
Xiao Churan has been doing decoration for a long time, and most of her home decoration clients are very generous in terms of decoration, but very stingy in terms of design fees.
Those who could be like Fei Ke Xin, who directly and explicitly took out 10% as the design fee, were almost rare.
Ye Chen was also slightly surprised when he heard this, not so much about whether the five million design fee was too much or too little, he was just surprised by Zhan Feier’s style of action.
This woman, although she was deliberately approaching herself, her actual operation was all kinds of pandering and pleasing, donating a few words to the Calligraphy and Painting a*sociation, sponsoring a $50 million art exhibition, giving Xiao Changkun a Rolls Royce Cullinan, and then following up with a $50 million order for her wife.
This gave Ye Chen the feeling that it was like someone was secretly watching himself and pointing a gun at him, but instead of bullets, the gun was firing candy.
Such a huge contrast made Ye Chen even cry and laugh a little.
When Xiao Churan saw that Ye Chen didn’t say anything, she asked him somewhat bottomlessly, “Honey, do you think this Miss Zhan, could she also be giving me such a big order because she’s begging you? Just like he gave Dad a Cullinan ……”
Ye Chen nodded with a bland expression, “Yes.”
Xiao Churan asked, “Then is it appropriate for me to take her order? If it’s not appropriate, I’ll politely decline it.”
Ye Chen smiled faintly, “She is looking for you as a normal cooperation between A and B. If you want to take it, then take it, if you don’t want to take it, then refuse it, there is no need to ask my opinion.”
Xiao Churan said awkwardly, “But this budget and this design fee she offered can already hire a very famous interior designer in China, there is absolutely no need to come to me …… The premium in this is too high, I am afraid that if I take it, you will owe her a favor… …In case you didn’t want to help her in the first place and ended up having to do so because of these trivialities, then it would be me giving you trouble.”
Ye Chen laughed, “Honey, you shouldn’t have such a mental burden at all, what that Zhan Fei’er wants to beg me for is too big and far from being solved by such a tiny bit of sincerity.”
