Lin Chuan turned around and saw that the man who called him was the man in his forties, unshaven and dirty, who had been standing outside the shed.
If nothing else, let’s just talk about the blue overalls he is wearing.
The patches are in pieces and I don’t know how long it has been since I washed them.
Especially the pair of rubber shoes on my feet with the toes exposed, and I didn’t even wear socks.
But this man had a simple and honest face, and only rural people could have such a smile.
Lin Chuan respects farmers in his heart, because his dead parents were both farmers.
He relied on the harvest from the land to support him.
So Lin Chuan smiled and said, "What can I do for you?"
The man smiled innocently and said sincerely: "We can also build a house. We can build any house!"
As soon as these words came out, the angry foreman slammed the cards in his hand on the table and said with disgust: "These days, anyone dares to take a job.
A stinky beggar wants to build a house, what a fool!"
Lin Chuan ignored him, and the man ignored him too.
Moreover, Lin Chuan discovered that the foreman didn't seem to have much reaction except for a few curse words.
The man didn't seem to take him seriously. Instead, he smiled and said: "We also have an engineering team, and there are quite a few of them. We are strong and skilled, including bricklayers and carpenters!"
One sentence explains why he is not afraid of the foreman.
It turns out there are a lot of them.
Moreover, they are all from rural areas. If they form a group, they will indeed have unhindered existence in the labor market.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the guts to steal business from the contractor.
Lin Chuan chuckled and then asked: "What's your surname, brother?"
"If your surname is Zhao, Zhao Nianshun, you can just call me Nianshun!"
"Nianshun, how much do you need for a 100-square-meter house?"
Zhao Nianshun seemed to be very familiar with the market, and he took out a small abacus from his pocket, crackling it and said: "A house of 100 square meters requires at least 1.5 tons of cement.
But some places need to be leveled, so you need 2 tons of cement. The highest-grade cement costs 8 yuan a bag, so 2 tons means 80 bags, 640 yuan. Bricks now cost 2 cents a piece.
One hundred square meters requires 6,400 bricks, which is 128 yuan. Sand is cheap, only 3 yuan per ton. This 12 yuan sand is enough, and the foundation stone, which costs 15 yuan per ton, costs 150 yuan.
Wood is more expensive, costing about 500 yuan, so that’s 1,430 yuan, plus tiles, glass, wires, wall paint, etc. We have our own tractor.
If we can do it for 1,600 yuan, we can do it with 5 people. Each person earns 5 yuan per day and builds the house in five days, which is 125 yuan. The total is 1,725 yuan, and we can build it for you!"
This is much cheaper than the 5,500 yuan that the foreman paid.
Even the contractor said with disdain: "Fuck, 5 yuan a day is really worthless. If they do this, all the workers will starve to death in the future!"
Zhao Nianshun didn't care what he said, he just wanted to know if Lin Chuan was satisfied with the price.
They haven't received any work for several days.
The contractors have all taken away the projects, so they can't starve to death with their craftsmanship.
Others earn 10 yuan a day, but they only earn 5 yuan a day, so they can't believe they can't get a job.
Lin Chuan nodded directly and said: "Then if it is a 20,000 square meter factory, how much can the price be?"
After the words fell, not only Zhao Nianshun was shocked, but also the people playing mahjong behind were so shocked that they didn't even play cards.
Especially the foreman, who looked at Lin Chuan dumbfounded.
A 20,000-square-meter factory building is a big project.
seriously?
Zhao Nianshun also asked in disbelief: "Boss, don't fool us. Is there really such a big project?"
Lin Chuan smiled and said, "Do you think I'm joking? I'm a garment factory expanding. If you can do anything, just talk about it. If it doesn't work, then I'll go find someone else and ask!"
"We can do it, we can do it, we...we can really do it, wait a minute, I'll do the math for you!"
The nervous Zhao Nianshun couldn't even figure out the abacus.
His hands were shaking wildly.
The contractor at the back couldn't sit still.
For such a big project, how much profit is there?
Thinking about it, I am such an idiot.
For such a big boss, he still drags me as if he has 2,500,000 to 80,000 yuan. Isn’t this pretentious?
We must not let that old fool from the countryside take away this project.
The foreman immediately took out the cigarettes in his pocket and approached Lin Chuan with a smile on his face.
"Boss, you have a cigarette. Who is that? Go and buy the boss a bottle of ice-cold soda and some ice cream!"
Lin Chuan felt ridiculous looking at his mouth.
After pushing away his cigarette, he said calmly: "I don't smoke, thank you!"
"Sit there, the sun is so hot. Come on, please sit inside!"
"No, I still want to listen to his quotation!"
The contractor glared at Zhao Nianshun fiercely and said disdainfully: "Look at his disgraceful appearance. He wears a cotton-padded jacket with a hemp rope tied around his waist. He buys kilograms of soybean paste and goes home to make a living in the shed. He drinks a bottle of soda and doesn't know how to return it.
What quotation do you expect him to give you? I will give you a satisfactory quotation immediately. It will definitely be more affordable than his. Let’s sit down and talk slowly!”
When Zhao Nianshun saw that the contractor was trying to steal his business, he immediately became anxious.
"What do you want to do? I negotiated this business, and the boss also told me, do you want to show some respect?"
The contractor casually scolded: "Damn it, you are just a kid? Do you know who is the boss in this labor market? You still want to talk about business, go home and talk to your mother!"
I’m telling you, get out of here and don’t be an eyesore here!”
Zhao Nianshun was not immune to this bullying and cursed angrily: "Boss, don't listen to him. Who doesn't know that the houses he built are either collapsed or damaged, and he also cut corners?
Otherwise, he can stay here all day without business, and he doesn’t even have the integrity to do business!”
The contractor became even more angry when someone pointed out his shortcomings, and rushed forward to attack Zhao Nianshun.
Lin Chuan originally wanted to give some advice, but Zhao Nianshun shouted directly: "All our people, come here!"
After he finished speaking, within a few seconds, hundreds of people came cheering towards Zhao Nianshun.
In his hand he had either a hammer or an axe, a big saw or a trowel.
There were several girls among them, all holding bricks. The scene and momentum made even Lin Chuan grin.
The contractor just couldn't get off the stage.
Fight, he doesn't have as many people as Zhao Nianshun. If he doesn't fight, he won't be able to win the big project of Linchuan.
Finally this guy thought of a damaging move.
He immediately turned to Lin Chuan and said humbly: "Boss, didn't he give you 1,725 per 100 square meters? I'll give you 1,500, what do you think?"
Zhao Nianshun said loudly: "You fart, you can't even buy materials for 1,500, unless you want to cut corners, and the boss is working on a big project, which requires concrete and metal structures.
The construction cost is at least 21 yuan per square meter, and the labor cost is even more, 15 yuan per square meter, you are talking nonsense!"
