Chapter 250 The Price (Second update, please subscribe)

The ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

Although Li Yian's vision seemed perfect and a life that people yearned for, Otto, as an architect, directly broke his vision.

“Cost!”

Otto said.

"Everyone yearns for this kind of life, but what about the cost? Sir, the cost of such a house is definitely not low. Although we have abundant wood, in terms of construction, the construction cost of a wooden house is not lower than that of a brick house. And the technical requirements for workers are higher.”

Faced with Otto’s doubts, Li Yian did not refute him, but asked instead.

“Why is the construction cost of our staff dormitories so low?”

Frey on the side replied.

“Because the staff dormitories adopt the drawings of the US military wooden barracks, its wooden beams and corner codes are all produced directly by the factory according to the drawings. After being transported to the site, the workers only need to assemble them according to the drawings. Basically There are no technical requirements.”

During World War II, wooden barracks of the US military could be seen whether in the mainland or North Africa, Europe or the Pacific. They came in a variety of specifications. Although they varied in size, all the materials were produced locally according to standard drawings. After it arrives at the front, it only needs to be assembled according to the drawings. Because of this, its cost is very low, so low that even dogs will dislike it because the wooden boards are too thin.

But no matter how thin the wooden boards are, no matter how simple the wooden house is, it is still better than a tent. While armies from other countries endured rain and snow in tents, the US military was able to curse the "crude building blocks" provided by profiteers in standardized wooden barracks.

After only half of the words were spoken, Frey's eyes lit up and he said.

"Sir, what you mean is that we design a standardized house and have it uniformly produced by the factory?"

Putting the notes in his hand together, Li Yian nodded and said.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want to say - we are not builders, but makers! What I need is for you to design a house that is similar to the assembly method of the US military barracks, but is stronger. It should be Made in a factory.”

“But will the house be too monotonous?”

“If it feels monotonous, we will design several more models of houses, but the main structure will be different. , wooden beams, wall panels, stairs, everything is standardized. Even if the appearance and structure are different, it is almost the same as building blocks. It uses the same standard accessories to make different combinations. How about you guys? Can it be done?"

When he finished speaking, Li Yian looked at the architects in front of him. In fact, he already had an alternative plan in his mind. If these people couldn't figure it out, they went to the United States to hire engineers. Since they If he can design a standard barracks, he can naturally design the house he needs.

Even with the furniture, Li Yian was thinking of the bolt-assembled furniture of later generations, which is low-cost and does not require any technical requirements for assembly. Many people think that furniture like that is simply soulless, but one thing you have to admit is that it is cheap and can improve the lives of thousands of households.

Everything is standardized!

This kind of standardization simplifies the production process and separates the tasks of workers. The factory specializes in the production of house accessories. Construction workers assemble them on site just like assembling vehicles, even with wiring, kitchens, and bathrooms. Such things can also be assembled together.

In the 21st century, this prefabricated wooden house is a very common form of construction, making building a house like assembling furniture. Of course this is basically limited to wooden houses.

In 1945, it was undoubtedly epoch-making. Not only architects were required to participate in the design, but even automobile and mechanical engineers were involved to solve the technical problems. This is a brand new attempt and design that is groundbreaking.

When Li Yi'an proposed this idea, he did not know that his idea not only laid the foundation for future residential buildings in Borneo, but also made each household and one house a personal lifestyle here. It not only promoted the development of the wood processing industry and metal processing industry, but also gave birth to the export industry of prefabricated houses. In the following years, it even became one of Borneo's most important export products. And Li Yi'an's phrase "We are not builders, we are manufacturers." has also become a famous saying in the real estate industry in Borneo.

Sometimes, home is not just a home, but a way of life, and the way of life is often a sign of the future.

Sometimes, some things have signs.

For example, Lily has not come in recent days, Hepburn has not come either, and Lautrey has also disappeared.

What happened to them?

Although he devoted himself to his career, as a man, Li Yian did not neglect his women, although he only made the same mistakes that men all over the world make a few times in a row.

However, thinking about it from another perspective, rather than letting these little goblins hurt others or be hurt by others, it is better for him to bear the pain.

This is the most basic responsibility of being a man.

For a week in a row, the three of them didn’t come to the chief’s office. This is something a little different!

The hospital is not supposed to be that busy!

Not to mention that Li Yian felt that it was not normal, even Heidi felt that it was not normal. What was wrong - Ava was here, but why didn't the three of them come?

Especially Lily, after eating it to the core that night more than a month ago, that girl kept running here, dragging Hepburn with her at every turn. The two little girls looked innocent in the movie, but behind closed doors, One is more powerful than the other. Sometimes she even pulls Lautrey, and I have to say, that girl is really good at playing.

After much thought, Heidi decided to go to the hospital. The moonlight shrouded the dormitory like a thin veil, and the girls on the bed, with their delicate white shoulders exposed, seemed a little absent-minded.

It was Lily, Hepburn, and Lautrey. The three of them lived in the same dormitory. At this time, they all looked worried, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. "Alas..."

A sudden sigh broke the silence in the dormitory.

It was Lautrey. After sighing, she lay on her side and huddled together,

"Lautrey, what's wrong with you?"

Hepburn asked, staring at the ceiling.

"Ah...it's okay, it's okay...by the way, Lily, why don't you take Hepburn over there these days."

This seemingly casual question made Lily suddenly She said quickly, becoming a bit overreacting.

"What? Over there? Where to go?"

Then he said as if he suddenly realized something.

"Oh, you mean the Office?... I just don't want to go, why do you want to go?"

Lily asked confused.

"Aren't you usually reluctant to go there? You also said you don't want to take advantage of that bad guy..."

"I..."

Lautrey opened her mouth, but finally couldn't say anything. Suddenly, Hepburn, who had been silent all this time, sat up suddenly and said in shock.

“You guys, you’re not here either!”

“Hepburn, you’re not here either...”

In an instant, the expressions of the three little sisters were all changed. Something has become strange. Their relationship has always been very close, and even their menstrual periods are basically synchronized.

Unexpectedly, this matter was also synchronized

"I, I..."

Hepburn said squeaking while sitting on the bed.

"It's been almost half a month. I thought it was too late at first, but, it never came..."

"Oh, me, me too..."
< br>

"Oh, I know, I know, you can't be playful, there is a price to pay for being playful..."

Lily said rather annoyed at the side.

"I'm finished now. It's okay for you to be pregnant, but...I, how can I get pregnant? My God! How can I get pregnant?"

......< br>
When the faces of the three girls turned into bitter faces, Heidi, who was about to knock on the door, was stunned when she heard the sound coming from the dormitory.

how so!

Hanging her hands in front of the door, Heidi felt mixed emotions. She had always wanted a child, and she worked very hard, and so did Ava. They both worked hard, but who knew, Let others take the lead.

And there were three of them at the same time!

Good guy, is it he who is so good or I am not so good?

If you don’t, you must squeeze him dry when you go back, leaving nothing behind.

Although Heidi's mood was extremely complicated, after taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door first, then walked into the dormitory, looked at the panicked girl, and said.

"Lily, I heard what you said, now..."

Take a deep breath, Heidi said.

"Now, you have to go to the public office with me and tell that guy to take responsibility!"
