Xu Shaomin acted very quickly and determined the construction unit for Block 8 the next day.

Zhang Junping informed Scarface to sign a construction contract with the corresponding construction company.

The legal person of Zhiweizhai is Scarface, so the construction contract must be signed by Scarface.

At this time, Scarface was a prominent figure in the entire bj and had already withdrawn from the pigeon market.

In Sanlitun, I bought an abandoned factory and transformed it into a trading market.

Buying a factory building in Sanlitun was definitely not Zhang Junping's idea, it was Scarface's decision.

I also used the money I earned from working for Zhang Junping in the past two years.

Originally, Scarface planned to share part of Zhang Junping's shares, but Zhang Junping didn't like it and refused.

The biggest difference between this trading market and the Pigeon Market is that all transactions here must pay taxes to the state and are legal.

Chinese people are the most honest and there is a formal market. Who is willing to take the risk in the pigeon market?

Business is booming.

In addition to the trade market, Scarface also organized a fleet of vehicles to travel between the Beijing and Tianjin areas, moving supplies back and forth and making a lot of money.

There is also a clothing chain store in partnership with Tian Shumei.

Zhang Junping was not involved in any of these businesses, they all belonged to Scarface's own industry.

In addition, Scarface and a dozen other people have a total of 10% shares in Zhang Junping's company.

Help manage Zhang Junping's industries.

For example, Zhiweizhai, Kesi Weaving Factory, Tea Garden, JDZ Porcelain Group Company, and Trading Company.

There is a lawyer on Scarface's side, so Zhang Junping doesn't have to worry about signing a contract or anything like that, he just needs to tell him.

The art company finally signed a construction contract with Dongcheng No. 1 Construction Company.

Zhang Junping has no objection to who does it, as long as the quality is guaranteed.

The day after the contract was signed, the construction unit entered the site.

On the third day, Zhang Junping invited Cao Xiangqian and other bureau leaders to hold a groundbreaking ceremony. Several tables were set up in Zhiweizhai, and the office building of the art company officially started construction.

After the construction of the office building started, Zhang Junping was completely idle.

Every day I just clock in, write, draw and create something.

The days just passed peacefully and fulfillingly.

Thursday soon arrived.

Thursday is the legal time for the Municipal Party Committee Standing Committee to meet.

Unless there are special circumstances, a standing committee meeting will be held every Thursday.

If there is an emergency or special situation, the meeting can be held in advance.

Raising funds to build a house obviously does not fall into the above two situations.

It was around 11 o'clock in the morning, which was probably when the municipal party committee had just finished its meeting.

Zhang Junping received a call from Xu Shaomin.

"Pingzi, the city has approved your decision to serve as a pilot project for raising funds to build houses."

After hanging up the phone from Xu Shaomin, about half an hour later, Zhang Junping received another call, from Cao Xiangqian.

It's the same thing. Art companies serve as pilot projects for raising funds to build houses.

Regarding this pilot project, Cao Xiangqian was quite resistant, "Xiao Zhang! Why is it so easy to come up with a pilot project for raising funds to build houses?"

"Director, if you think about it from my perspective, this is actually a good thing."

It’s no wonder that Cao Xiangqian was annoyed. This time, the dormitory building had two buildings, the News and Publishing House, and the wind was blown out. Now another fund-raising project has popped up.

How can he, the director, explain to the people below?

Zhang Junping had no choice but to explain the benefits of raising funds to build a house to Cao Xiangqian again.

The fund-raising house construction proposed by Zhang Junping will naturally not be the same as the fund-raising house construction in later generations. The ownership of the property rights will be clarified from the beginning.

After the house is built, it belongs directly to the individual.

It avoided the property rights disputes that would arise in later generations when funds were raised to build houses.

Because until the early 1990s, welfare housing was still provided. How much has the country spent on building houses in the past ten years?

The past ten years have also happened to be the peak period for the construction of welfare housing.

Now that we are raising funds to build houses, it seems that the country has not received the land transfer money and is losing money.

But in fact, the savings are even greater.

When people spend their money, it invigorates the market in a disguised way and increases tax revenue and jobs. No matter how you calculate it, it is cost-effective.

"If you say so, it's really a good thing." After some brainwashing by Zhang Junping, Cao Xiangqian finally accepted this reality.

"That's for sure! Can I suffer a loss? This matter is actually a win-win decision. The country does not suffer a loss, and we, the people, do not suffer either.

Leader, let’s not separate the two buildings. Just let it go. If the bureau is willing to participate in raising funds to build houses, we can accept it.

If other units under the bureau are willing to participate, they can also participate.

Let's just build a large community and then apply for kindergarten, primary school, middle school, and build a community hospital. How comfortable would it be?" Zhang Junping continued to fool Cao Xiangqian.

After thinking about the scene described by Zhang Junping, Cao Xiangqian was really tempted. No matter what others did, he decided to raise funds for a house anyway.

After hanging up the phone with Cao Xiangqian, Zhang Junping called the heads of various departments to come to his office for a meeting.

“Just one thing, the city has agreed to use our company as a pilot project to raise funds to build houses.

The office will send this notice out for a while. Again, voluntarily participate in raising funds to build houses and sign up voluntarily.

How much it will cost to build a house can only be known after a professional company has calculated it.

You go back and talk to the employees below first." After Zhang Junping briefly informed everyone of the matter, he announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Then he took the renderings he drew and drove out of the art company.

Department of Architecture, Tsinghua University.

"Professor Luo, look, this is the residential building our company plans to build.

I would also like to trouble you to help improve the drawings and help calculate the cost of building the building.

My preliminary estimate here is that 20 buildings need to be built, more but not less.

Could you please calculate how much it would cost per square meter?"

Zhang Junping also has an old relationship with Professor Luo from the Department of Architecture. The seventh building and office building in front are the drawings, designs and budgets that Professor Luo and his students helped complete.

Of course, Zhang Junping did not treat him badly and paid for the tea.

"Manager Zhang, the layout of your house is so beautiful! I almost want to buy one after seeing it."

"Professor Luo wants it, of course there is no problem. I will definitely leave one for Professor Luo. I am afraid that Professor Luo will not like it. Our professor building at Tsinghua University is better than mine." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite. After the house is repaired, leave me a set.

I don't lack a house to live in, but my son is getting married.

This young man doesn’t want to live with his parents, but it’s okay because he can save the trouble of living together.”

Professor Luo was not polite and directly expressed that he wanted a set.

This is the value of knowledge. Zhang Junping needs Professor Luo's help to complete the drawings and make a construction budget. Professor Luo wants a house, so Zhang Junping can naturally ask him for money.

All Professor Luo has to do is open his mouth, and the students can handle a large amount of calculation data.

After communicating with Professor Luo, Zhang Junping entered the salty fish state again.

However, now I have one more job than before. I clock in to work and create, and then I go to eight construction sites.

After two days of work, Zhang Junping couldn't stand it anymore. The efficiency in this era is simply too low. If this continues, not only will the time be slow, but the quality cannot be guaranteed.

If nothing else, this concrete is made using a drum mixer.

The construction unit also tried its best to use high-power drum mixers and acquired more than a dozen drum mixers.

But even so, the efficiency is still very slow.

A drum mixer can produce three cubic meters of concrete an hour, and a dozen mixers can produce forty or fifty cubic meters of concrete an hour.

The entire basement requires tens of thousands of cubic meters of concrete. How long will it take to complete the work?

Time is slow and the quality cannot be guaranteed. By then, the basement will be filled with cold construction joints and water will pour into it.

Zhang Junping simply called Scarface to the office.

"Master Zhang, what are your orders?" Scarface came over quickly and drove directly to the art company.

As a Hong Kong businessman, he must not lose face, so Scarface also owns a car, and it is a very rare Mercedes Benz in China.

This was towed directly from Xiangjiang, and it had a black label.
