This time, Manager Zhou was very careful and even calculated the branch roads.
Ye Qiu just asked casually, but he didn't expect Zhou Peng to answer it so quickly. He thought about it and said, "Let's build the main road first, and don't worry about the branch roads."
After building the rough stone road and paying for forestry contracting fees, he probably still had more than one million yuan left, which was just enough to build a main cement road.
Now his daily income, from the fruit supermarket and the sales of vigorous bean sprouts, is about 200,000, and he will be able to fully pay for the construction of a cement road in the first half of the month.
In fact, it would be fine to start building the branch road now, but he decided to build a 1-kilometer cement road on the main road first, so as to save some funds for emergencies.
"Okay, then I will let the workers build the main road first."
Zhou Peng said excitedly, and he was still a little excited. According to Ye Qiu's tone, after the main road has been built, branch roads will be built, so the total project cost will be 3 million.
Including the previous rubble road construction, he has taken over more than 8 million projects in less than two months here, with commissions of at least 100,000 yuan.
"By the way, what about the prices for painting and decorating the exterior walls of the villagers' houses?"
Ye Qiu asked.
Zhou Peng pondered for a moment and said: "How does Village Chief Ye want to paint it? If it is ordinary painting, from plastering, putty to paint, the price will be 30 yuan per square meter. If it is decorated with block materials, the price will be huge."
Ye Qiu thought for a while.
The villagers should have some spare money in their pockets now, maybe nearly 20,000 yuan, or more than 10,000 yuan.
However, the villagers have just gained money and are willing to spend tens of dollars to buy electrical appliances, but they are not necessarily willing to spend a lot of money to paint the walls.
The cost of painting this exterior wall is not less than a few thousand, especially if it is decorated with block materials, it will be even higher, at least tens of thousands. The villagers will definitely not be willing to spend so much money on decoration.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu said: "Just whitewash it with ordinary whitewash. How much does it cost?"
Zhou Peng took out a notebook and calculated for a few minutes, "Village Chief Ye, let me make a rough estimate. The houses in your village are all about the same size. The exterior wall area of a house is about 120 square meters. So, one house can be painted
It costs 3,600 yuan. There are 300 households in the village, so the total price is 1.08 million."
Ye Qiu frowned when he heard this amount. He didn't expect that painting a wall could be so expensive.
"However, the exterior walls of some villagers' homes have already been plastered, so the price may be a little cheaper. The total cost should be less than 1 million."
Ye Qiu thought about it and said, "Let's go this way. You build the cement roads of the main roads first, and then paint the exterior walls of the villagers' houses. I'll ask the villagers for their opinions first."
"OK."
Zhou Peng has no objection.
After the negotiation was settled, Zhou Peng left here.
Ye Qiu thought for a while and went to the village committee office to find Xu Xiuying: "Xu Party Secretary, there is a village meeting going to be held today."
Xu Xiuying was busy writing documents when she heard this and raised her head: "What meeting?"
"I want to repair the village, and I want to ask the villagers for their opinions and see if they want to paint the exterior walls of the houses."
Xu Xiuying nodded when she heard this: "Okay, this meeting really needs to be held, otherwise it will definitely not work if I keep asking you to spend money to clean up the entire village."
After the agreement was reached, Xu Xiuying went to inform the villagers.
After learning that the village committee meeting was about to be held, the villagers stopped what they were doing and came to the village committee meeting.
Now everyone is used to having meetings, and everyone knows that there must be something important to announce, so almost all the villagers came over.
After waiting for half an hour, almost all the villagers arrived at the scene.
Ye Qiu stood in front and started speaking with a loudspeaker: "Folks, I think everyone has felt the tremendous changes in Yushan Village in the past few months, right?"
"Yes, village chief, our village has electricity."
"The water is still available."
"The road is open now."
"Since you came here, village chief, I have earned more than 10,000 yuan."
The villagers in the audience all spoke out one after another.
Ye Qiu waved his hand to silence everyone: "These are internal changes, but the external changes in our Yushan Village have not yet been reflected. I just want to ask one thing, do you want to make Yushan Village more beautiful?
More prosperous?”
"Of course I do."
"Village chief, just tell me what you want to do."
The villagers spoke out.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost tense, Ye Qiu said bluntly: "The construction team of Green Forest Municipal Government is still here. Today I will discuss with them about the painting of the exterior walls of our houses. I think Yushan Village should change it."
The style has changed, but now the village is still full of red brick walls and dilapidated houses. When others see it, they think our village is too backward and too shabby, and they look down on us."
Hearing this, some villagers hesitated and said: "Village Chief, isn't it expensive to paint the exterior walls?"
Ye Qiu said: "It's a bit. It's 30 yuan per square meter, which is about 3,600 yuan per household."
"3,600 yuan is so much."
"It's so expensive. I think it's better not to paint it."
Many villagers hesitated.
For them, 3,600 yuan is still a lot of money psychologically. They have never spent that much money before, so spending it all at once makes them feel a little distressed.
Xu Xiuying looked at the hesitation of the villagers in the audience, feeling a little anxious in her heart, and shouted hurriedly: "Folks, although this money seems a bit much, it is only your monthly income, and if it is repaired now, the village committee will still pay
I can subsidize you."
The villagers were a little moved, but still undecided. Three thousand yuan used to be their income for a year and a half. This is equivalent to an ordinary family spending two to thirty thousand yuan to repair a house at once, and then deciding not to do it in a moment.
good.
At this moment, Zhao Tian suddenly shouted: "Zhishu Xu, Village Chief Ye, my house wants to be renovated. Please help me tell the construction team."
The villagers looked at Zhao Tian in surprise.
"Zhao Tian, are you really willing to give up?"
"What do you do with the money you make without spending it? Anyway, it's more than three thousand, and you do a lot of work, and you can make it back in half a month."
Zhao Tian said, feeling quite calm in his heart. After Ye Qiu came back, he led the development of the village and his achievements were obvious to all. He felt that Ye Qiu would definitely not deceive the villagers, so he said with confidence that he would paint it.
"Then my family wants it too."
"Me too."
With Zhao Tian taking the lead, many villagers also said they wanted to paint it.
Seeing this, Ye Qiu nodded, then took up the loudspeaker and said, "Actually, just now, I have negotiated with Manager Zhou of Green Forest Municipal Government that cement roads will be built in the village, and our village committee will pay for this."
"Building cement roads?"
"How much does it cost?"
"You have to ask for one million, right?"
"Is the village committee rich? It must be from Ye Qiu."
The villagers immediately started talking. In fact, they all knew that the village committee had no money, and the money must have been provided by Ye Qiu.
"Ye Qiu has spent so much money on the village, but our painting money is really small."
"Ye Qiu is not afraid of spending money. He has confidence in the village, so what do we have to worry about? Let's just paint it. After all, it is our own house."
The villagers were very excited and signed up one by one to paint the exterior walls.
Xu Xiuying felt happy and quickly wrote down the names of all the villagers who signed up.
