Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 517 An Almost Free Order

"that's it?"

Carter's explanation did not satisfy Little Red Riding Hood.Not only him, even several real estate developers near him did not change their expressions after hearing this explanation.

Obviously, everyone still has doubts about Carter's explanation
"Of course it's more than that. My friends are not for nothing. I also own a real estate company, but it's in the southern and northern markets, and I'm not familiar with it. I hope you can help me in the future."

"Oh? You also have a real estate company?"

Little Red Riding Hood became interested when she heard the words, is she actually a colleague? !
"That's right, I have real estate and construction companies!"

"What scale? The scale is too small. Don't blame us for not taking you to play. New York is not a rural area in the south. You can get away with a small house."

"I understand that my high-level architect team here is currently relatively weak, with only six or seven people, but road and bridge engineers, I have ample reserves. In addition, there are three to four thousand full-time construction workers."

While Carter understood, he did not forget to show off his muscles:

"The real estate company is currently under construction for a middle-end residential area, and it is almost half completed; there is also a high-end residential area under construction. There are more than [-] properties in total."

A construction team of [-] to [-] people, plus a real estate company with more than [-] properties.
This scale is not small at all in the United States.Listening to Carter's indifferent words, everyone was surprised, and their expressions became a lot more serious.
It is indeed not easy for a company of this size to move.If you rush into the northern market, such as New York, without saying hello to people like yourself in advance, don't think about it, a boycott will definitely be indispensable
A group of southerners with no roots in New York want to grab the northern market?What about living in a dream? !

and today
"Boy, your name is Carter Black? Isn't that right?"

Unlike most real estate businessmen with sad faces, Little Red Riding Hood picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, raised her head, and looked at Carter with a flushed face:

"Can you be responsible for what you just said?"

"Of course, do you think I will brag on such an occasion?"

"OK, then I have a job for you. The * * * building on Fifth Avenue is expected to be completed next year. The interior decoration of the low-rise area can already be started. I was just thinking about it these days , we should find several companies to do this job, since you said you have someone in your hands. So, do you dare to take this job?"

Um? ?

Carter frowned and looked at Little Red Riding Hood. Is this talking about business?Still questioning yourself?
"We can sign an agreement and set a completion time limit based on the area, floor height, and decoration requirements of your building. If my workers fail to do so, I will pay you liquidated damages!"

In any case, what does Little Red Riding Hood want to do? When it comes to this, Carter can only follow the trend.

After hearing Carter's confident promise, the expressions of the people around him changed again.Although there is no saying in the United States that "no hair on your mouth, you can't do things well", but Carter's young face, coupled with his words, is indeed easy to make people suspicious.

But as an agreement with legal effect, dare to say that you can sign it, dare to sign it
"Okay, then we've made a deal. Later, you send a team to my place, and I'll pick a model for them to make. If it can be done well, I'll give you this order!"

"Okay, it's a deal!"

···
···
There is no such thing as pie in the sky
If there is no nominal excuse of "DOG Construction Engineering enters the northern market", it is still completely unfamiliar to inform the other party of the information for no reason.Everyone will suspect that there is a pit in you!
Similarly, Carter also felt a little guilty about Little Red Riding Hood's behavior of suddenly giving him a building decoration order.
What the hell is this guy with an abnormal brain circuit doing? !

"He will provide all the materials? We will provide a person, a force?"

"That's right, and the average quoted price for a worker is less than $4 an hour. It's only about $3.8, minus the accident insurance for high-level operations, as well as accommodation and food. We basically can't earn this order Money! It’s even easy to lose money”

About a week later, when Kane brought the cooperation agreement of the *** Group with a sad face, Carter finally understood what Little Red Riding Hood was planning: he knew that if his construction company wanted to come to the north, it had to fight well with local snakes. In addition to greeting, you also need a platform to show yourself.And at this moment, there is nothing more suitable than his red hat mansion!

The completion time is approaching, and it is almost a rough state, a high-grade building with bright enough location.The decoration and decoration were completed by DOG Construction Engineering. This list is ready, and it is easy to shine!

So naturally, holding what Carter needs most, Little Red Riding Hood is unceremonious.
What's the matter, for those workers, I have to pay nearly 800 US dollars for a month's salary.The average hourly salary is about $3.3.Including food, housing and insurance expenses, the cost per hour of using a worker by myself will never be less than 3.7 US dollars.

Almost stuck on his own cost line, the key to the quotation is to take out the bulk of the material procurement, which is easy to operate and generate profit margins. Isn't this letting his own people work for nothing? !
"sign!"

Annoyed, angry, but after weighing the pros and cons, Carter still gritted his teeth and ordered.

"By the end of the year, the residential area project will basically be completed. It is all invested in the construction of the hospital. It is also a necessary step for DOG construction to go out of Georgia. With our scale, if we want to go to other places , we must have a platform to make our own name"

"That's why he dared to lower our price so much! Now in New York, except for his *** building, there is no suitable building for us to operate. So, he is betting that we will accept this offer"

"So he won the bet?"

Kane understood the meaning of Carter's words, and DOG construction workers were at best relatively well-known in Georgia.Putting it all over the United States, who knows who you are? !
No famous works, no fame means no orders.Coupled with the large number of people, it is easy to cause counterattacks from local forces. In this situation, DOG Construction really needs a chance to show itself
"Well, it will be like this at that time. During the construction period, get more billboards and stick them on the construction isolation wall. Remember, the font size of DOG Construction Engineering must be large and eye-catching!"

As Carter said, he took the contract and reviewed it again.

According to the contract agreement, *** Group will invest 437 million US dollars and entrust DOG Construction Engineering to complete the renovation of the 8th floor of *** Building within two years.In addition, if the construction period is delayed, DOG Construction will also pay compensation of 58 US dollars to *** Group
"In addition, there are exemption clauses such as 'If the commission is not completed within the agreed time due to the delay in material distribution or the delay in the completion time of the contractor, DOG Construction Engineering will not need to pay additional liquidated damages', we can't solve their problems, and we have to pay the bill Ah! Let the legal colleagues review the contract a few times first, and sign it if there is no problem! Oh, yes, the construction period will be changed, starting at the end of this year and ending at the end of 1984. You can go to the *** Group to discuss a bit."

"Then I'll think about it again, how to handle this matter. It doesn't matter if you can't make money, you can't have neither face nor face. I don't need to earn money, but I must make fame!"
