Ouyang Jue drove very quickly, and every time he was deep in thought, he could not help but drive faster, wanting to obtain the answer from this speed. Ning Caier knew that he was not in a good mood, so she did not continue with the previous topic.
After all, everyone was aware of the relationship between Tian Ao and the Bai Group, and that the two families' business was already linked together. With the marriage of their children, this kind of business relationship was even closer, and in this kind of situation, it was impossible for Ouyang Jue and Bai Youya to easily break up.
"By the way, Mike called me and told me that the business in that brand store was very good. He wanted to buy the two nearby bunks and work together with us."
Ning Caier changed the topic to Mike. He wanted to gather a few like-minded designers to open their own shops in that area, that way, they would be able to create a unique and complete space that would benefit everyone's business. She had seen the initial plan before and felt that it would be feasible.
Vice President of the Republic of Korea has already started following up there, but I think that this matter can be done in the country, too. I have already chosen a few places, do you want to go and take a look?
Ouyang Jue knew that Ning Caier didn't have the mood to go back to the company to design things, so it would be better for him to walk around outside to change her mind.
"Can we find such a place in the country?"
felt that the domestic and foreign sales patterns were completely different. In Milan, the personal shops of the designers and the line of exclusive branded shops, were usually opened on both sides of the busy streets. Most of them were two-storey or three-storey independent small buildings. It's hard to find a separate space to spread your own design ideas.
"How can I not find what my No master is looking for?"
Ouyang Jue brought Ning Caier to a house that was about to close. This was a place that was a combination of a business and a high-end residential area. The business model here completely imitated the streets of the Milan and was filled with the charm of Europe. This large building was actually developed by the TiaoAo Group, so the entire community was made up of brands introduced by Ouyang Jue himself.
"Do you want to move all the streets of Milan here?"
Ning Caier looked at the signboard on the street. Although it was not officially opened, she had seen these signboard in the Milan before. This business district had all sorts of major brands such as restaurants, entertainment, shopping, beauty and so on. It was a heaven enjoyed by the upper class.
"These shops are for the designers who work with Tian Ao, you can choose one first. Since Mike is your master, he can also design clothes here."
Ouyang Jue handed over the power of choice to Ning Caier. As long as she could make her decision, he would find someone to work with tomorrow and hang up her signboard, and in the future, she would help others design the signboard so that they would be able to directly bring it here. There was no need to go to the company.
Of course, Ouyang Jue hoped that he could see Ning Caier everyday, but he had to make up his mind to separate her from the environment of the heavens. Sometimes, it would be safer for her if he kept her far away from him.
After all, he was the founder of TiaoAo Group, and also Ouyang Jue's father. Even though he had already ignored the matters of the company for many years, he had been friends with Bai Youya's father for dozens of years.
Ning Caier didn't understand this kind of chaotic clan battles. She only took a few pictures and passed the information to Mike. To create a cultural community required an overall plan, and it would be best if it could resonate with the Milan. Hence, she was not anxious, and would make her choice only after all the plans were done.
"That makes sense. However, since you've come, I can go pick something else now. You can decide for yourself."
Ouyang Jue brought Ning Caier to the residential area. The construction work here was already completed, but the occupancy rate was only 20%, and most of the rooms were still being renovated, but all of the properties were almost sold out, and the remaining dozen or so rooms were all used by the TiaoAo Group for her own use.
Ouyang Jue brought Ning Caier to the eleventh floor of the building, where there was a two hundred and twenty square meters three bedroom and one living room. The bedroom and living room were built facing the south, and one could just barely see the shops downstairs.
"The view here is really good. Are you planning to move in here? The room seems too small for you."
Ning Caier also felt that the scenery here was not bad as she stood by the window, but Ouyang Jue always liked spacious rooms, this type of apartment probably could not satisfy his needs, but if he only treated this place as a temporary resting place, this kind of area was enough.
"I really don't like living in an apartment, but it should be enough for you. Don't you want to find a new house and bring your parents over? This is a good place to live, and it's not too far from the company."
Ouyang Jue said this as a matter of fact. He had originally wanted to finish the decorations here before bringing Ning Caier over to have a look, but he knew that the designer had some special design ideas for her own residence. That was why he only painted the white wall so that the room would remain in its original state, allowing Ning Caier to freely use it.
Ouyang Jue had even found a company to help him renovate the building, and this company had already helped the TiaoAo Group decorate quite a few buildings. As long as he gave the blueprints to them, they would be completed in less than two months.
"I don't want to accept gifts that don't match my income. If even Teacher Xiao can't have such a good dorm room, I don't think I have the qualifications to live in it."
Ning Caier knew that for the housing prices in this area to buy a house in such a high-end location, she would probably need to struggle for another three to five years. Furthermore, she was still at the stage where Bai Youya was suspicious of her, so she could not accept Ouyang Jue's huge gift. She had already planned to buy a two-room apartment in a middle-class neighborhood with her parents, where she could afford the price.
"Who told you that this house is for the dorms? Although I brought you here, you still have to spend money to live here. I can give you a 10% discount for the staff price."
As Ouyang Jue spoke, he took out his own phone and calculated the price of the room. The money that Ning Caier had was not even enough to pay for a bedroom here.
"So you want to use this method to motivate me. Don't worry, I will work hard to buy the house as soon as possible."
Ning Caier set down the military order in front of Ouyang Jue. She would definitely manage the business district well, allowing this place to once again shine with the glory of Milan Street.
"Well, imagine now what you're going to do with this room if it's yours."
Ouyang Jue saw that this grey room had given Ning Caier an examination. He really wanted to know how she would plan her living area if she had enough money and rooms.
"Then I really should take a good look. I never thought that I would be able to live in such a big house."
If she could stay here, the biggest room would definitely be for her parents to stay in. As for the other bedroom that was facing the sun, she planned to renovate it into a studio, and use a soundproofing layer inside to prevent the sound of the sewing machine from disturbing the elderly person's sleep.
Ning Caier had to have a lot of shelves in the living room, and put up all the small items that she had collected since young. As for the dining room, she had to hang up two cartoons and even a mirror to increase her appetite.
Ning Caier had a lot of ideas, but it did not seem like she was thinking about a problem from the perspective of a designer, but rather a little girl's longing for the Illusory Paradise. Ouyang Jue recorded it down carefully using his phone.
"Do you have any work to do? If so, let's go back." Ning Caier saw that Ouyang Jue was still fiddling with his phone, thinking that something had happened at the company, but Ouyang Jue took his phone in front of her, letting her see the text message on it.
"The room's blueprints can be given out tomorrow. What does that mean?" Ning Caier was stunned for a moment. She was just casually thinking about it, and didn't say that she would live here from now on.
"You can pay 10% for the down payment. The loan will be deducted from your share and you can slowly return it back to the company. It's settled then."
Ouyang Jue spoke very straightforwardly, he did not give Ning Caier any chance to reject her. His commission and dividends were at the company anyway, he would let the finance department turn this money into a loan for this house.
"If the blueprints are unsatisfactory, just say so in time. Otherwise, they will start construction."
Ning Caier knew Ouyang Jue's temperament, things that he said would be hard to change, so she calculated the amount of money in her hands. If it was only 10%, she could still afford it.
"It's better to accept it as soon as possible. Moreover, you have a task to complete, so you have to keep an eye on the progress of this community. Also, talk with Mike, he will always be able to come up with some unexpected plans."
Ouyang Jue handed over the house's style and the property certificate to Ning Caier. The blueprints for the design company were already finished, and he specially requested them to make five versions, one version was always the closest to what Ning Caier had in mind.
When these heavy weight were handed over to Ning Caier, she felt like she was dreaming. She had never asked to buy a house in this city, she never thought that she, who had not worked for long, would actually be able to live in such an upscale community. It made her realize that she had to work harder to make a better life for herself and her parents.
"I've already contacted Mike about Milan, and the locations of the bunks for the few designers have been decided. The interior decoration style is the same as the shops in Milan, but we still need to discuss the design of the outer wall and public parts."
Ning Caier contacted Mike almost every day. He planned to design the outer wall of the Milan community to be like a graffiti, using the strong impact of colors to stimulate people's artistic enthusiasm. However, Ning Caier felt that this matter was not feasible within the country.
Ouyang Jue believed in Ning Caier's perception of beauty, so she was responsible for everything here.
