He was woken up again by Zheng Qiang's howling in the middle of the night, and then he fell asleep again. At five or six o'clock in the morning, the sun was already shining on his buttocks. He got up with the troops. On the first day of work, Chen Zishen was 20% energetic and prepared to perform well.
"Walk to the construction site"
"Oh, you don't need to wear a helmet?"
"What the hell are you wearing? He's either a construction worker or a patrolman."
"There are dangers when walking on a construction site. What if a brick falls? Isn't the end smashed? Safety must come first and prevention is the priority."
"It's quite suitable for you to work in education management. It's a pity that no one will promote you. If you like it, wear it. You can take the hat. Anyway, those of us who never wear it have never been hit by bricks or tiles."
Chen Zishen saw several young people either with shaved heads or bald heads. None of them were wearing red hats. He followed the local customs and could only imitate other people who safely carried their heads on their shoulders. At most, he should be more careful when walking below the floor.
"Construction sites are all provided by the state to developers. The developers then contract out various parts. There are construction companies that specialize in building floors, and there are also service or development companies like us that do the preliminary preparations and the finishing work behind. Our Fengshou County Hengji Economic Development Co., Ltd." Zheng Qiang said
"Oh, then our daily job from now on will be to visit the construction site and nothing else."
"With such a big construction site, there will be nothing to do. If you are idle, you can go and help with small jobs. The construction company only has technicians who can draw drawings and masons who can build houses. There is no one for other jobs, such as mixing mud and moving bricks and tiles." They have to hire other people outside our company to do this business, so you can go there and do it.”
"Then how to calculate wages? Who should I ask for money from? Is it the construction company, our company, or the developer?"
"You should come to our company."
"How do I add it to my basic salary? It seems difficult to calculate the salary. How do you calculate the salary?"
"I'm not too sure. In fact, I've only been here for half a year and I've been working as a security guard. My salary is the company's annual payment of 20,000 packages of food and accommodation at the end of the year. I can also do other private work to earn some money. That's it."
"A person like you who walks around the construction site every day should have a lot of free time. You can really do some private work. What kind of private work is it? Is it paid by the company?"
"Oh, haha... You will gradually learn in the future that there are always some unknown ways to make money in such a large construction site. Private work has nothing to do with our company. It is a self-employed business. You can make as much money as you have the ability." Zheng Qiang was a little secretive. After all, Chen Zishen's relationship with him wasn't too deep, so it was reasonable that he wouldn't tell everything about him.
"What exactly do construction site security guards do? Guard against thieves?"
"We will do everything to prevent thieves and even fight and cause trouble."
"There should be thieves, but there should be no fights and troubles. This is a legal business. Is there any contradiction? Everyone can do their own thing and get their own money, so why fight?"
"You don't understand this? Fortunately, the thieves are the ones causing trouble. There are many companies like ours. There are two or three major companies. There must be open and covert competition among them. For example, when doing earthwork and demolition, they have to bid openly and covertly. Can there be no conflicts here if we rely on strength and connections? Also, our company only eats local food, and often uses some arrogant and unreasonable methods. It will definitely offend the local people, the people and the land. It is also a big conflict, can we not cause trouble? "
"Oh, yes, that makes sense. I can actually work as a self-employed person on the construction site to make money day after day without anyone else taking care of me."
"It is true that some small workers are often hired on construction sites. But you see that those small workers are all middle-aged men in their thirties and forties. How can there be young people in their twenties? Those jobs are too tiring and there is no future, and they encounter The unreasonable foreman is so hard to get even a salary that he is really not suitable for us to work in," Zheng Qiang said pertinently.
"But we don't seem to have much future in security work."
"At least there is a serious company to work in. Once you do well, you can get promoted. When did you see the self-employed people who were doing small jobs promoted? They are all alone, no matter how strong they are, how much work they can do and how much money they can earn. When we are ready, we can manage other people, just like I can take you now, and the army can manage a group of us, can these two be compared?"
"That's what the management of our company is doing."
"Those who have more money to eat, drink and pick up girls will take drugs and have fun. What else can they do? Anyway, there are so many people below to help them make money. When you are done, the army will take you to have fun and perform well, brother" Zheng Qiang There is a little bit of cynicism in his envious tone. There is no doubt that his status and strength do not allow him to play those high-end games, and he can only sigh.
"Don't you have something serious to do all day long? You just have to have fun, so you have to do something?"
"I'm just scolding you just like I scolded you on the first day. It's so grand and glamorous. As for serious things, of course you can have a drink with the boss and talk about business, such as doing earthwork. Every floor has a foundation height. You can't just build it as you say." You can't just say how high you want to build the building. There must be standards for how high the foundation is. This standard may be set by the National Planning Bureau or by the developer. There must be standards for how high the floors should be built. Don't build randomly if the foundation is high. We have to dig soil to shovel the foundation lower; if the foundation is low, we have to transport soil from other places to fill the foundation higher. Finally, how many square meters of soil do we make? How much does each square meter cost? There is a lot of knowledge here. Some people can negotiate 20,000 square meters of land into 30,000 square meters, and 40,000 square meters, and the price per square meter can be negotiated into 20 yuan; while some people can't even settle the most basic price, so it depends on their own abilities."
"So the articles here are very rich, and they are not ordinary. If you have some friendship with the settlement person, you can make a lot of money by using some tricks."
"Yeah, yes, it's just that we don't think about it. It's all done by relatives. Even those relatives are idiots and don't know how to negotiate any business. They settle at the lowest price every time. Others are willing to call us outsiders. In fact, we are relatives. The method of cheating relatives is more vicious, but no matter how you cheat, it still means that the money does not go to outsiders," Zheng Qiang said with emotion.
"Who is the boss of our company? He is in charge of us directly, right? Who else is above him?"
"Mr. Wang is now in his forties. Da Jun, who started from scratch, is his nephew. Da Jun can only be regarded as a project manager. He is responsible for the construction site. We, Hengji Economic Development Co., Ltd., still have many businesses."
"It's not bad to be self-made. I admire such a person very much. He is much better than the second-generation rich man and the second-generation official. What kind of education does he have and how did he get started? There should be many stories about him." Chen Zishen asked with interest.
“It’s just a matter of knowing a few characters of rural household registration in primary school culture”
"Ah...this...this is all right. Now it's probably tens of millions at least," Zishen said in confusion.
"If I didn't always go to Macau to gamble, I would have spent hundreds of millions. Fengshou County and some surrounding counties and cities have branches of his with big projects."
"Then what did he do to start his career?"
"It came out of a fight, but now I don't seem to hear of him fighting anymore, and it doesn't seem like he needs to fight anymore."
"Is it okay to fight and kill? Is it okay to grab territory and money? No one will punish him?"
"The sanctions are a big deal. There are so many fish that have slipped through the net. If you have money, you can deal with it. But he seems to be unable to attend some public events now. I heard that he should have lived in a cell, but he spent money to withdraw it, but in the official He is still in the cell. It seems that he is not the legal person of our company in the legal sense now. I heard that she is his wife. I am not sure about this."
"Oh, maybe it's because there were too many loopholes in the previous laws. The government didn't notice that we have a public security environment in remote areas. Some big cities can't even control everything. What's more, we are in a place. As long as there are powerful people who kill people and set fires, no one will take care of it. Then they will take over the territory. You can do business. Once you gain a reputation, you can do anything. Some of the work in our company seems to rely on fame, power and fame. Others dare not refuse to do it for you. Who doesn't want to be friendly and make money? But now that the law is much more complete, it seems that it is not possible to conquer the world with fists. It's too realistic." Chen Zishen said based on his own understanding.
"It should be like this, right? Mahle Gobi. It would be great if I lived a few decades ago. Who wouldn't be afraid of me if I didn't die? I have a younger brother and I have the strength to do anything. It's not easy. It's always a happier life than now." Zheng Qiang started again Grumbling
"Every era has its advantages and disadvantages. We can't change the era, we can only change ourselves. Take your time," Chen Zishen comforted, fearing that Zheng Qiang would become violent again.
As they talked, the two of them had already walked around the huge construction site and found nothing unusual. All work was carried out in a normal and orderly manner.
"I have nothing to do today, so I can go back to eat."
"Ah...that's it."
"Yeah, what do you want to do? You can't risk your life every day. There will be a lot of bad things in the future."
If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the breakdown next time.
