Chapter 185 Construction Team

The next day.

The sun is rising, and the bright sunshine shines on the earth, adding a touch of warmth to people, and a beautiful day is coming again.

Had breakfast.

Wei Shu and Luo Pan didn't go to the pier to sell big bone soup and steamed buns, but came to the new circle with Liu Ye'er and Fat Miao'er.

At this time, the ground has been leveled, and the excess pits and craters on it have been leveled. Branches, stones, and mud are all picked out and thrown to one side.

"It's time to start working."

"Third brother, you go to contact the construction team."

"Second brother, go buy blue bricks, red tiles and other materials."

Fat Miao'er turned her head and made detailed arrangements for Wei Shu and Compass.

"it is good!"

The two nodded and acted separately.

An hour later.

Several ox carts slowly drove into Dashi Village, and the carts were pulling materials for building houses.

A middle-aged man who seemed to be in charge walked with Wei Shu and discussed as they walked: "This batch of materials is only a part, and the rest will take a while to prepare. I will prepare them for you as soon as possible within a month."

"No problem." Wei Shu nodded.

He also knew that to build a large brick house with blue bricks, a lot of materials were needed, and it would be difficult to buy all of them at once.

Batches are also fine, as long as they don't delay their progress.

"Let's talk about it first, it must be ready for one month, and it must not be postponed." Wei Shu emphasized.

"Don't worry, this matter is definitely not bad. If you don't believe me, go and inquire. The green brick and tile houses built in the whole Qingyang Town are all from us, and there is no delay."

"We do business with one spit and one nail, and our words definitely mean what we say."

The person in charge smiled, and subconsciously looked at Wei Shu.

Wearing a white shirt, with a handsome and timeless face, a slightly thin figure, with a bookish vigor in every move, articulate, elegant conversation, he looks like a son from some family, but he is a little young.

The person in charge couldn't figure out why he sent a kid to negotiate business with him.

But after going through the mall for a long time and getting in touch with many people, he has already cultivated a calm temperament.

Doubts are doubts, but he did not despise him because of his age, and talked as usual.

"Our workshop has rules, no matter who buys the blue bricks and red tiles, no credit will be given, so the money..."

The person in charge reminds in due course.

"Don't worry, it's almost there."

Wei Shu smiled slightly.

"Sure enough, he is open and bright, and he is a person who handles great things."

The person in charge spared no expense of praise, trying to draw closer to each other.

Wei Shu didn't speak, his expression was reserved, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, he chatted with the person in charge until he reached the ground.

"Unload it here." Wei Shu pointed out.

The person in charge understood, and immediately set about arranging for the men to unload the goods.

After a while, the goods were unloaded and placed neatly.

Fat Miaoer settled the money according to the price negotiated at the beginning, and at the end he did not forget to emphasize that the next batch of materials should be delivered as soon as possible.

"As soon as possible! Definitely as soon as possible!" The steward said haha.

After exchanging a few words of greeting, he waved and left with the men under him.

Not long after they left, Compass brought the construction team here.

The construction team is from the town, a total of 15 people, including bricklayers and carpenters, it is a small group.

"This is Foreman Chen." The Luopan gang introduced them.

Foreman Chen's name is Chen Qiang, about 34 to [-] years old, tall, with a square face and dark skin, he is the leader of the construction team.

Fat Miao'er, Wei Shu, and Liu Ye'er nodded one by one, as a greeting, and then went straight to the point.

"I've seen the blueprints you drew. It will take about three months to build such a big house."

Chen Qiang looked at the homestead while talking.

"Three months?"

Fat Miao'er raised her voice, slightly surprised.

She never knew it would take so long to build a house.

But she was inexperienced, so she couldn't say anything on it, so she could only lightly glance at Wei Shu with those watery eyes.

Wei Shu nodded incredulously, and lowered his voice, "I asked Uncle Yong about it. His yard was built for more than two months."

"Our house is bigger than his house, and it will take about that long."

"Oh!"

Fat Miao'er listened, and nodded half-understanding.

Then he asked: "Foreman Chen, how do you calculate the salary?"

"I'm in charge of picking up jobs and dispatching manpower. I pay 25 yuan a day. Two skilled carpenters pay [-] yuan a day. Apprentice carpenters pay [-] yuan a day. Bricklayers get [-] yuan a day. Other mechanical workers get [-] yuan a day."

"Besides, as the owner, you need to provide a lunch. It doesn't need to be too good, just enough to fill your stomach."

Foreman Chen explained everyone's wages in detail, obviously he came prepared.

After hearing this, Fat Miaoer quickly calculated, foreman Chen is 25... bricklayer eighteen... carpenter twenty...

According to this price, the labor cost per day is 250 renminbi, about 22 renminbi a month, and [-] renminbi in three months, not counting the lunch provided at noon.

"too expensive!"

Fat Meow muttered.

Luo Pan rolled his eyes and discussed: "Foreman Chen, everyone's salary is different, it's too troublesome to remember."

"Let's see it this way. It's 20 taels in total. I'll give you all the work of building the house. What do you think?"

"Ten taels?"

"That won't work!"

Foreman Chen frowned and immediately refused.

He has already calculated this account at home. After three months of work, he will get at least 23 taels. Of course, he can't agree to such a huge reduction.

"Foreman Chen, don't rush to refuse."

Luopan County smiled.

"Whether this job is done quickly or slowly is up to you. Work harder, and you will earn money if you finish the job in two months, and it won't affect you to take on other jobs."

It's not that Luopan is a villain, it's because he and Foreman Chen are not familiar with each other, and their family of five is young and inexperienced.

If this group of people worked slowly and extended to four months, wouldn't they have to take a lot of money.

With a thought, Luo Pan simply gave the job price to Foreman Chen.

No matter how fast or slow, you can control it by yourself. If you want to earn more, you can do it as soon as possible, and if you want to earn less, you can take it easy.

"20 taels is too little, and the price is not worth it."

"The house is not that simple, it requires effort."

"Well, I don't want too much, the price is 22 taels."

Foreman Chen began to bargain.

Hearing this, the corners of Luo Pan's mouth twitched, a half-smile.

"No matter how tiring the house is, it's not as tiring as the coolies on the pier. Coolies only earn a few dollars a day."

"That's not the case." Foreman Chen shook his head.

Compass opened his mouth, and wanted to persuade him again, but Wei Shu at the side quickly stopped him when he saw this.

Taking a step forward: "I don't think it's worth 20 taels or 22 in this matter, just follow what Foreman Chen said, and settle the wages every day."
