() At this time, the adjustment of the housing system had not yet been fully implemented. Chongshan was originally a city dominated by state-owned enterprises. The personal housing market had just started, and the associated decoration market was also primitive and chaotic.
Zhang Shufen is new here, so naturally she is not familiar with this area. She has a lot of money now, so of course she wants to decorate it better.
In the family area of Xinjiang General Factory, few people are looking for decoration companies for decoration at the moment. Most of the decorations are just to find the decoration team, and then confusedly follow the decoration team's opinions to complete some so-called simple decoration, medium decoration, luxury decoration, style
Most of them are the same, and naturally there are no American country, European classical, modern and simple styles that have become popular in developed coastal areas.
Naturally, Zhang Shufen also followed this process. She planned to decorate it into something similar to Li Yuzhen's home. After asking a lot of acquaintances in the main factory, she found a decoration team named Qu Guai Baguai through introductions.
It is said that the technology is very good, so it is very popular, and there are many people queuing up, but because of the reputation of a certain acquaintance, I can do it for Zhang Shufen's family first, and of course there are some big names.
It was originally scheduled to be decorated today, but foreman Qu temporarily said that he could not do it in the morning and would come back in the afternoon, so in the morning Wei Zhiwu followed Zhang Shufen and Li Yuzhen to the building materials market in Nanjiang District to select materials.
Unexpectedly, Wei Zhiwu happened to meet Wei Xingguang there. Although he was not from Yaochuan Village, he was also born in Yaoquan. Among the Wei surnames in Nanlong, he was very close to the Yaochuan Wei family. He was related by blood for two generations.
We were close friends with Wei Zhiwu when we were at Yaoquan School when we were young.
After the two chatted, they found out that Wei Xingguang, who is 23 years old, started working a few years ago. He started from a small job. This year, he formed a decoration team with several acquaintances and took on home decoration business everywhere.
However, Wei Xingguang has been taking jobs in Nanjiang District. Although he heard early in the morning that there is a family area of Xinjiang General Factory in Shannan District with a large business plate, he had not stopped his business before and had not thought of coming here.
have a look.
I happened to meet Wei Zhiwu and heard that the person next to me was his second aunt. The house in Shannan District happened to be renovated. Wei Xingguang took the initiative to come and have a look. He was a bricklayer himself and was familiar with decoration. He could check it and take a look.
Is the construction workmanship as good as it's cracked up to be?
Since it was a help, it didn't cost money anyway, and Zhang Shufen was naturally happy to have Wei Zhiwu pat her chest, so the few of them came back after lunch.
Unexpectedly, the people from Foreman Qu were not able to come in the afternoon, and several people kept waiting. Zhang Shufen's face changed as she waited. During this period, she called, but no one answered.
Finally, after three o'clock, a twenty-year-old loader came. Zhang Shufen asked why he came so late. He was very impatient and said he was busy, and then started to work.
Decoration is quite complicated, and all types of work are required, including carpenters, bricklayers, putty workers, plumbers, handymen, and loaders. During the period, the various types of work are intertwined, and there are many details to pay attention to.
"That man took a hammer and immediately planned to demolish the wall," Wei Xingguang, with a depressed and innocent expression, explained: "I just said a few words that I should draw a line first and then demolish it, but I didn't expect that he immediately turned his back and said it would be troublesome.
Already."
"Then what?" Lu Yang smiled with relief and continued to ask.
After all, if that's all, then if we don't start work today at most, there seems to be no need to bother.
"I think I offended someone, so I'm sorry..."
Wei Xingguang continued to explain, but he quietly glanced at Lu Yang and found that the child was staring at him intensely, and he felt panicked and did not dare to continue talking.
"Xiaoyang," Wei Zhiwu said next to him, "you don't know how dark the foreman is. The sixth nephew said that they only paid half a package for the whole package, so I told the second aunt not to let the second aunt handle the music."
The foreman pushed and asked the Sixth Nephew and others to do it."
Lu Yang just smiled and said nothing. After all, the decoration was too deep and could not be measured directly by price.
"It happened that there was still time in the afternoon, so I asked the second aunt to show the structural drawing to the sixth nephew for a look first," Wei Zhiwu was frothing at the mouth and continued: "Unexpectedly, after a while, the foreman Naqu came and saw the sixth nephew looking at it.
Tu, said something about not understanding the rules and being careful, and then angrily walked away. Second Aunt and Aunt Li were busy looking for acquaintances to help make peace..."
After Wei Zhiwu finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yang with some anxiety. After all, if he hadn't promised at the Nanjiang District Building Materials Market, he wouldn't have caused so many troubles. However, Wei Xingguang was his own family, so naturally he couldn't lose face.
"Xingguang..."
Lu Yang understood and nodded. He looked at Wei Xingguang relying on his seniority and asked, "Your decoration team has no work now?"
"ah?"
For some reason, Wei Xingguang looked at the child with a half-smile but felt a little guilty, and said, "I just finished building a house recently and it happened to be empty."
In fact, Wei Xingguang ran away from the foreman because he was too famous and not serious about his work, but he also had his own selfish motives involved.
The competition in Nanjiang District has become increasingly fierce recently. It is getting harder and harder for his decoration team to accept jobs, and the prices are getting lower and lower, so they have to go out to get jobs everywhere.
Wei Xingguang went to the family area of Xinjiang General Factory in the afternoon and took a look. Well, there are so many houses and there are so many under construction. If we can capture some of this business, we won't have to worry about it in the next few years.
Of course, the decoration business cannot be taken care of randomly. The underground society is rampant these days. If you don’t have an acquaintance to guide you and don’t understand the rules and enter rashly, especially this kind of behavior of stealing people’s work halfway is very taboo, you may be hidden by local gangsters.
Broken leg.
So Wei Xingguang didn't take the initiative to say it. Of course, he was a little cautious and asked Zhang Shufen for the full-inclusive price. He said that their half-inclusive price was only so much. In fact, decoration was certainly not that simple.
Wei Zhiwu was an enthusiastic person. When he heard this, he took the initiative to ask if Zhang Shufen would reject Foreman Qu and find Wei Xingguang to help him.
This was exactly the effect Wei Xingguang wanted. When the time came, he stood up and saw if he could find an acquaintance to donate some cigarette money to the local strongman, so that he could get involved here.
So Wei Xingguang naturally pretended to hesitate and relented, but he was still too impatient. As soon as Wei Zhiwu asked him to take a look first, he agreed.
It happened that the foreman of Naqu came. He was well-informed, so he naturally understood that someone was trying to steal jobs. He was familiar with this area, and when he saw Wei Xingguang's unfamiliar face, he naturally became angry.
Wei Xingguang knew that he was in the wrong, and originally wanted to leave as soon as possible, but Wei Zhiwu pulled him, but he couldn't help but just leave like that.
Fortunately, this family was easy to talk to. Zhang Shufen and Li Yuzhen hurriedly went to find an acquaintance to make peace, and they just stayed here with sad faces.
"Xingguang," Lu Yang understood, nodded, and said, "It's not impossible for you to decorate my home, but my requirements are quite high. You go back now, and we will go to you tomorrow to explain in detail.
Talk about this."
"That's okay too."
Wei Xingguang nodded. This child's gaze was really powerful, as if he could see through his own little thoughts. He didn't dare to stay longer.
"Then I'll leave first?"
But after saying this, Wei Xingguang had no intention of getting up immediately. After all, he was going out alone as an outsider, and it would be terrible if he was stopped on the road.
"Fifth brother," Lu Yang stood up at this time and said to Wei Zhiwu: "Let's go together. Let's see Guang off and wait for the bus outside."
So the three of them went out. As soon as they went down the stairs, they saw five or six young people standing lazily at the top of the stairs. They were also dressed in various clothes. Some of them were very simple student clothes. They were hiding behind and cowering.
There are some who are wearing fancy clothes and holding cigarettes in their mouths and walking in the front row.
Seeing the three of them, one of them, a young man in his twenties, immediately shouted: "That kid finally came out!"
When Wei Xingguang saw that it was the young stevedore who was leading so many people, he immediately screamed in his heart that something was wrong. He wanted to run but didn't dare. If he ran around and angered people, it would not be as easy as beating them up.
Lu Yang also saw these people, and he was even more aware of the situation in front of him.
The underground society was very active in these years, and the tentacles of some gangs naturally penetrated into the construction and decoration market.
According to Lu Yang's previous knowledge, except for the fourth group where the factory leadership was located and the head of the police station had warned not to cause trouble, several other districts had already been divided up.
The first group is basically covered by people from the wings, the second group is the territory of Fei Jie’s concubine, and the third group is the world of Brother Wen Tian. The contractors who want to undertake the decoration business in these groups will consciously or unconsciously give these groups some
Entrust them to take care of your cigarette money, otherwise it will be easy for you to cause trouble and be chased away. It is not unprecedented for you to have your hands and legs broken.
Only Group Five has just started handing over its properties. Unlike the other groups that have been basically monopolized before, the market here is too small, so Wen Tian, Fei Jie and the contractors under Yiyi's care are all trying to get business there.
But generally those who make trouble don't dare to go too far, as if these people are just blocking the stairs. After all, this is the cadre building, and there are usually some connections. If they really go into the house to cause trouble, big trouble may arise.
Lu Yang originally thought about using Wen Tian's name, but after seeing the appearance of the person behind him, he immediately changed his mind.
At this time, it seemed that the three of them were sensible and did not run around, while the five or six young people were just aggressive and eager to come forward. The young loader walked beside the leading young man in the front row, with a very proud face.
"Brother Hongxiang, what a coincidence!"
Lu Yang, who was standing steadily, pulled Wei Zhiwu, who was trembling, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, and he waved to a young man in the back row who looked a little uneasy.
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly turned weird.
The leading young man in the front row was in his twenties. He looked at the young man in front of him, and then at the younger brother named Peng Hongxiang behind him.
Peng Hongxiang, who was standing in the last row, looked at the brothers around him looking at him with questioning eyes. He was also dumbfounded at this time.
It was his first time to go on a business trip and he met an acquaintance. Although the young man in front of him looked familiar, he couldn't remember his name for a while.
While the group was stunned, Lu Yang smiled apologetically at the young man in the front row, then stepped forward to separate the group, and grabbed Peng Hongxiang, his eyes slightly moist.
"Brother Hongxiang, I am Lu Yang, Hongliang's brother, don't you remember?"
