Chapter four hundred and sixty-eight office renovation plan

Crazy, this Giannius is absolutely crazy!

This was Yu Shengrong, Li Qingyuan and Yang Jieqing's first reaction after hearing Smith's words. They couldn't imagine how this foreigner dared to be so arrogant here? Why did he dare to do this?

They were surprised and puzzled, but they felt even more angry and scared, because he was afraid that Zhou Ming would take his anger on him because of the psychopathic behavior of this foreigner.

Just kidding, the company in Huanyu Building has not yet been established, and there is such a foreign chief engineer who is provoking face to face. No one can stand it if it is replaced! He even wonders if they did it on purpose and just gave Zhou Ming a warning.

They looked at Zhou Ming carefully, waiting for Zhou Ming's expression.

However, the thunderous anger they were waiting for did not happen. Zhou Ming was still sitting there and smiling, as if the words Smith said just now were not directed at him. More importantly, they could see from their eyes that Zhou Ming was smiling sincerely, not pretending, which made them even less understand.

What's going on with Mr. Zhou Ming...is he so angry?

They were carefully speculating.

Zhou Ming quickly expressed his attitude. He looked at Smith and said, "Your name is Smith, right? Actually, you speak Chinese well, right? Why did you pretend to be like you don't know how to speak at the beginning?"

kindness???

As Zhou Ming said this, everyone was confused because no one expected that Zhou Ming was silent for a long time before finally saying this.

Everyone, including Smith himself, wanted to ask Zhou Ming: Boss, this is provoking you. Can you respond? No matter how you think about it now, it has nothing to do with Smith's previous words, right?

Although Smith was confused, he still said toughly: "I can say whatever I want and respond as much as I want. Can you control my work? Can you still care about how I speak?"

"Oh, does Engineer Smith have an opinion on his work?"

Zhou Ming leaned on the back of the chair and stretched out his hand to Smith: "Then let's talk about what you are not satisfied with. If it makes sense, I can help you adjust it within my ability."

"I'll say it again. I don't have any opinions on my work, but on you Chinese who don't know anything but like to point fingers!" Smith suddenly yelled.

After just shouting, Smith calmed down again and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can't understand if you talk to you Chinese who don't understand anything. Then you are the biggest boss. Seeing that you are so anxious to call me over, it seems that you have new ideas for my renovation plan?"

"I'm sorry, I haven't seen your plan yet," said Zhou Ming.

In fact, Zhou Ming not only hadn't seen any plans, but even before coming here, not only Zhou Ming, but also Yang Jieqing, who rented the office building, didn't know what renovation plans there were.

Smith listened to Zhou Ming's words and suddenly smiled: "It's true, I know you Chinese are all idiots!"

Looking at Smith's performance, Zhou Ming could guess what happened even if he didn't understand it. It was nothing more than Smith, as the chief engineer here, who had his own renovation plan, but was commanded by the original company's leaders and changed it a little.

In fact, this situation is very common in China, because some leaders like to point fingers on already formed plans, hoping to add ideas that they have a clue, as if they don’t do this, they won’t show their abilities, but this made Smith, the chief engineer, very angry.

Perhaps at the beginning, Smith could still deal with these people patiently, but over time, it became like this.

"So well, my big boss, don't you know what anti-human ideas you have?" Smith asked casually.

Zhou Ming knew what the problem was, but Zhou Ming was not available to help Mr. Smith with ideological work, so Zhou Ming told him directly: "I hope I can renovate this office building."

"Okay! Renovation, I've wanted to do this for a long time. I know there are many workers waiting for life in Nanpu. I can contact you at any time, whether it's a mason or something." Smith said carelessly, as if he didn't take this matter seriously at all.

This made Yu Shengrong extremely angry. He slapped the table and said, "What are you talking about? Do you think we are here to decorate you? We are going to renovate the entire office building, not to put on a tiled and wooden floor! If you say nonsense, don't blame me for being so polite!"

Just kidding, after all, I am the head of the Yu family. You, Smith, are clearly insulting people now!

Yang Jieqing also pulled Smith hard: "Smith, don't be too arrogant. We are discussing with you now to give you face. Don't be shameless. I tell you that as long as I say, you have to climb out of here immediately. What kind of salary and rewards are your dream of spring and autumn!"

Faced with the threats and warnings from Shengrong and Yang Jieqing, Smith was still full of disdain.

"Renovation? Do you know how to renovate office buildings, and do you know what the most popular style is now, what is Mediterranean style, what is Baroque style, what is modern style and conceptual style? I think for you, it is good to just use mud to paste a wall!"

Smith said proudly, raising his head and proclaimed loudly: "I, Smith, graduated from the University of Zurich, have a dual master's degree in civil engineering and architectural design. My dream is to become an architect like Richard Rogers and design skyscrapers by myself. I am not discussing the painting of the exterior walls of your house with you, a group of country bumpkins who know nothing!"

"Smith, you bastard, you..."

Yu Shengrong and Yang Jieqing were so angry that they gritted their teeth, wishing they could slap this arrogant foreigner to death, but they pointed at Smith for a long time but lost the following. The reason was very simple, because they did not understand what Smith said at all.

Looking at Yu Shengrong and Yang Jieqing's angry but nowhere to vent, Smith raised his head proudly.

But at this time, Zhou Ming spoke: "Mr. Smith, I really don't understand the architectural styles you said. I have never been to Switzerland, let alone who Richard Rogers is. But I know that I just plan to renovate this office building. I don't plan to build a building that can be used as a work of art, and I believe you don't have the ability."

Smith glared at her eyes and was about to speak, but Zhou Ming said first: "Mr. Smith, don't worry. Listen to me slowly. What I call renovation is not to change the current overall structure of the office building, but to remove the ugly brown glass curtain walls outside now, and shovel the milky white tiles, and then all of them are replaced with tempered glass curtain walls."

Zhou Ming was so happy that he raised his hand and gestured repeatedly, which made Yu Shengrong and Yang Jieqing feel worried, for fear that Smith, a double master of civil engineering, would do something new.

However, this time Smith was surprised to say nothing, just said for a moment: "Mr. Zhou Ming, what kind of glass curtain wall do you want?"

Zhou Ming told Smith: "I can't say this either. It's always spread on the walls and windows, making people look like a lake."

"Mr. Zhou Ming, are you talking about using hidden frame glass curtain wall technology? It is to hide all the aluminum frames installed with glass sheets behind the glass curtain wall to form a large-area glass mirror effect, so that the appearance of the entire office building can look more beautiful. Is that true?" Smith asked Zhou Ming, but his tone sounded a little excited.

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "I can't tell you the specific technology, but the effect I want is to make the whole building look like a big mirror."

Smith was so happy that he jumped up when he heard this. He clapped his hands and said to Zhou Ming: "This is exactly my previous plan! Mr. Zhou Ming, you really understand architecture. You are at the forefront of architectural fashion and have a very future-oriented vision!"

Looking at Smith who was getting more and more excited, Yu Shengrong, Li Qingyuan and Yang Jieqing, who were originally planning to help Zhou Ming spray back, were stunned at that time.

What's the situation? Is this still the arrogant Smith before? Isn't he a top student with a double master's degree from the University of Zurich? Isn't he a master? Why did Zhou Ming just say this casually and he was so happy? Is this playing?

"Actually, it's okay. But I've been abroad for a lot of time and have participated in Fashion Week in Paris. I have a little understanding of this." Zhou Ming explained casually.

Zhou Ming was actually very embarrassed about Smith's praise, because it would be impossible to say that he had any aesthetics or future architectural trends. Although he had participated in the Paris Fashion Week, he relied on Master Antilles and his student Boya. If Zhou Ming wanted to design clothes himself, it would be better to kill him.

So this time, it's the same. Zhou Ming cannot understand architectural trends and other things better than Smith.

Fortunately, Zhou Ming has such a huge advantage in rebirth. Even if Zhou Ming doesn’t understand these things, as long as he remembers that there are office buildings with glass curtain walls all over the world in the future, he will never guess what the trend is?

What Zhou Ming didn't expect was that what was completely common in later generations was so surprised now that even people like Smith were so excited.

"I am a person who has been to Paris. Mr. Zhou Ming, you know art better than others!"

Smith patted his chest and said confidently: "Mr. Zhou Ming, don't worry, I have already done the plan to replace the glass curtain wall of the office building. I can replace it all in three months at most!"

However, Zhou Ming shook his head when he heard this answer: "Three months is too long."

"Mr. Zhou Ming, replacing the glass curtain wall is not simply hanging the glass outside. It also requires re-estimating the overall load-bearing of the building. This kind of high-altitude operation is also difficult to construct..."

Smith was anxious to explain to Zhou Ming, but Zhou Ming still shook his head firmly: "Three months is too long. I need to complete it in half a month, preferably within a week."
