Chapter 189: It's Too Worthwhile
After a three-hour drive, Kim Hyun Tae arrived at Laguna Beach with his daughter Coco, two large Labradors and four baby dogs.
After getting off the bus, Kim Hyun-tae almost didn't recognize this place anymore, because there were too many changes here.
He had the impression that it was originally just a bare hill, almost barren and barren on top of it, except for a large residential area halfway up the mountain, and it was very desolate on the top of the hill.
But now it has changed dramatically, with palace-like buildings towering over bulldozed hills, like the abode of a fairy-tale king of China.
A fence covered with green vines, a concrete road that winds its way to the top of the mountain, and a large area of artificial turf completely change the appearance of the mountaintop.
Kim Hyun-tae, who got off the bus at the gate of the welfare home, looked at the building at the door and sighed, and at the same time he also found Dave who arrived here before him.
"Dad, it's so beautiful here, it's like a cartoon Chinese king's house. ”
At this time, the daughter Coco, who walked out of the car with her father, looked at the building in front of her and said such a sentence with emotion.
"Coco, do you like living here?"
Kim Hyun-tae looked down at his daughter standing beside him and asked casually.
"Of course, to be able to live in such a beautiful house, of course Coco likes it. ”
In the face of his father's inquiry, of course Coco Jr. would respond like this.
Listening to his daughter's answer, Kim Hyun-tae smiled and didn't continue to ask other questions, but he had a plan in his heart.
He felt that after the welfare home was built, he and his daughter could come and live from time to time, after all, this welfare home was his own private nature, so there was no problem for him and his daughter to come and live occasionally.
Not to mention that by then, the children of San Juan had moved over. When I bring my daughter to live, my daughter can also have a lot of friends to play with, right?
You know, the children in the convent of San Juan, although each one is older than Coco, there are also a few children of three or four years old.
So Coco can be friends with these kids.
"Hey, William, what are you doing standing there stupidly? Hurry up. ”
At this time, after seeing Kim Hyun Tae get out of the car, he stood outside with his daughter and his dog stupidly without coming over, Dave couldn't help but urge.
"Let's go, go in with Uncle Dave and have a look. ”
The top of the mountain is Kim Hyun-tae's private land, so no one else will drive up, and there is no need to worry about the safety of the mountain, so Kim Hyun-tae did not hold Coco, but let the little guy follow him alone.
The two Labradors followed Coco's butt like two henchmen. Among them, the dog's father Hanhan is holding a rattan basket with his mouth, and inside the rattan basket are his four dog babies.
"Mr. Dave, you've arrived so fast. ”
Kim Hyun-tae, who walked into the gate of the welfare home, greeted Dave.
Dave's gaze crossed over to Kim Hyun Tae and looked at little Coco behind him, then withdrew his gaze and put it back on Kim Hyun Tae.
"It's true that I came from home faster than you did, but I didn't have long to get there. It's only ten minutes faster than you. The construction workers here have all left, and it has been reviewed by the local quality inspection department after it was built. Everything was fine. ”
During the greetings, Dave also told Kim Hyun Tae about the welfare home, which made Kim Hyun Tae relieved.
"Let's go, let's go in and have a look, although the house has been built, there is still a lot to do. For example, hiring security personnel, janitors, gardeners, cleaning handymen, people who take care of the children, etc. ”
Yes. Don't look at the house that has been built, but there are a lot of things left.
So Dave's reminder is not unreasonable.
And for these, how can Kim Hyun-tae not be clear.
"Thank you for reminding me Mr. Dave, I know what to do. ”
In the face of Dave's reminder, Kim Hyun-tae first expressed his gratitude, and at the same time told the other party that he had a draft in his heart, and he didn't know it.
"Well, you know I'm not going to be verbose, but we have to hurry up and not delay. It's a huge waste to leave such a large house empty for a day, so it's better to let those children move in as soon as possible. ”
It turned out that Dave reminded Kim Hyun Tae because of this, he didn't want to leave the welfare home that had been built idle, because in Dave's opinion, it was a waste.
But how could Kim Hyun-tae let the welfare home that had been built vacant.
He's not an idiot!
The purpose of this orphanage was to allow the children of the Convent of San Juan to move in.
Otherwise, what would he have spent tens of millions of dollars to build this house, and he wouldn't have a lot of money to spend.
"Rest assured, rest assured, I know what to do. ”
But Dave is kind after all, and Kim Hyun Tae can't say anything, so he can only accept it with an open mind.
Dave didn't continue on this issue, but began to officially take Kim Hyun Tae around the empty welfare home, and at the same time he explained the situation in the welfare home to Kim Hyun Tae.
"There are hidden cameras at the gate and around the perimeter to monitor the surrounding area 24 hours a day to prevent malicious guys or bad guys, but if you want to do it perfectly, the construction team recommends hiring at least 18 security personnel in three shifts. ”
First of all, Dave introduced Kim Hyun Tae to the security aspect.
The orphanage occupies a large area, and the 18 security personnel are divided into three shifts, and according to their eight-hour work, one shift is only six people.
Kim Hyun-tae thought about it, and thought that this security force would be a little less?
It's okay to talk during the day, but you have to patrol at night.
You know, most of the people living here at that time are underage children, so you must do your best when it comes to security, but you must not go wrong.
If this really goes wrong because of this, then you will be guilty of a great sin.
Therefore, he made a mental note of what Dave said, and he decided that when it was time to hire security personnel, he must hire as many security personnel as possible, especially the security personnel for the night shift should be absolutely sufficient.
The main building of the welfare home is a castle-like building similar to a fairy tale kingdom, and there are some two-story houses around the main building, which are also very fairy tale style.
Dave started the introduction again at this time.
"The construction company calls this main building 'Dream Castle', which I think is a good name, with a total of 12 floors and 216 rooms, each with 30 square meters, which can accommodate two children at the same time, and the main purpose is to give children sleep and rest. ”
My God, 12 floors, 216 rooms, there are only about 40 children in San Juan, and this is simply not enough to live in.
Kim Hyun-tae's mouth was a little closed when he heard this.
Even he was still thinking that so many rooms would not be able to be filled by then, wouldn't it be a waste to be empty.
But the next moment, Dave's words solved this little doubt in Kim Hyun-tae's heart.
"Considering that there may be some more children coming to the home in the future, I think it's always good to have more rooms. ”
Indeed, although the original intention of this welfare home was only to house the children of the San Juan Convent, if there are still some children to live in in the future, can Kim Hyun-tae ignore them?
Obviously this is not possible.
So, there are more rooms, which also takes into account this aspect.
Therefore, hearing Dave say this, Kim Hyun Tae nodded again and again: "What you said is that it is really difficult to say about this aspect after the official operation of the welfare home, and it is always right to consider these problems earlier." ”
Seeing that Kim Hyun Tae could understand this, Dave smiled very relieved, and he could see that Kim Hyun Tae was not the kind of stingy person.
"The houses around the castle are used for a restaurant, indoor entertainment, study rooms and a library, and there is even a chapel, after all, the children who live here, they also need these places. ”
Later, Dave explained to Kim Hyun Tae the purpose of the four scattered two-story buildings around the castle.
Kim Hyun-tae lamented that the construction company was really thoughtful, and he was very satisfied with it.
After all, the other party he thought of was completed, and the other party he didn't expect was also considered for himself, so what was he not satisfied with.
But that's not all, Dave continues to take Kim Hyun Tae on the walk.
"Look, there's a basketball court and a tennis court, and there's a swimming pool and a small soccer field. ”
Bypassing the main building and coming to the back, Kim Hyun-tae's eyes suddenly opened up, as if he had seen a careful children's amusement park.
In front of him, there are the sports fields that Dave talked about, as well as the various recreational facilities that have been built, such as slides, swings, seesaws, and so on.
Rub, seeing this, to be honest, Kim Hyun Tae wants to take his daughter to live like this, okay.
But considering he's going to be continuing his education at Santa Monica College, that's obviously unlikely.
At most, it's almost the same to bring my daughter over to live here occasionally, and it's not possible to live permanently.
"Wow!"
When little Coco saw everything in front of her, she suddenly let out an exclamation sound.
It can be seen that children have no resistance to these things.
"Dad, I'm going to play the slide!"
Although he asked his father and hoped to ask for his father's consent, little Coco had already taken a step and ran towards the slide.
"I'm happy with all of this, so is the cost of the project a bit over budget?"
Kim Hyun-tae can say that he is not satisfied, if he wants to say that he is not satisfied, it is simply unconscionable, okay.
Of course, in the end, the scale of construction was beyond his original vision.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-tae felt that such a large project would not exceed his budget, that is, the more than 20 million yuan he gave was not enough.
Facing Kim Hyun Tae, who was worried about this, Dave replied with a smile: "It's enough, and it can't even be used, and there are more than five million funds left." ”
I'll go, it's worth it!
Kim Hyun-tae shouted in his heart!(To be continued.) )
