Chapter 173: Buy a house or a shop?
Especially now it’s winter.
If it is spring, summer or autumn, there is no problem with construction any day. But now construction must be carried out when the temperature is highest around noon, otherwise the concrete will not dry.
As a last resort, Cui Changjia had to call Chang Yuanliang again. Chang Yuanliang was supplying goods to Wei Xianchen's construction site, so it should be okay to ask him for help.
"Uncle Chang, are you feeling better from your cold?"
"Okay," Chang Yuanliang sounded in a good mood, "Jia Jia, I just happened to have something to ask you."
"I want to buy a house for Chang Ying. Do you think it's better to buy a house or a shop?"
Cui Changjia was quite surprised.
"If you buy a shop, whether you rent it out or start your own business, it's easy to earn enough money for a down payment on a house, but it's not easy to earn enough money for a down payment on a shop when buying a house."
Cui Changjia's words made sense. Chang Yuanliang said, "That's right, let's buy a shop."
"The shop is not cheap," Cui Changjia paused and said, "Uncle, don't think I'm talking too much. In fact, for Chang Ying, material things are not that important. The last thing she wants is to be targeted by Aunt Zheng. I'm afraid that if you buy a shop for Chang Ying, Aunt Zheng will feel uncomfortable."
"I know, I'll take care of it."
"Uncle, I need your help with something."
"You said."
Cui Changjia told Chang Yuanliang about his plan to build a factory and buy slag, and then said, "If I had acted earlier, I'm afraid the construction site would have stopped working by now."
"The construction site over there is basically not stopping. I'll ask and call you later."
"Uncle, I still need to ask about the bulldozer and the road roller. It doesn't matter if they cost money. I want it to be quick."
Chang Yuanliang said, "A few truckloads of dirt shouldn't cost money, but a bulldozer and a road roller might cost money. I'll look for them first."
Chang Yuanliang did not call Cui Changjia back. He drove straight to the factory, took a look at the site first, and then made a few phone calls. In the evening, three large trucks loaded with rubble drove into Cui's factory.
After the dump truck finished unloading, the bulldozer and roller arrived.
These are the cars working on the construction site. They have to take time out to do private work.
Chang Yuanliang said that no money was needed, but Cui Changjia still gave each car a red envelope of 500 yuan. She thought that if she didn't pay the money, Chang Yuanliang would have to pay for it himself.
Chang Yuanliang looked at her coldly. Cui Changjia was really different now. Now she was like a veteran who had been running the business for many years. She was thorough and capable of handling everything with ease!
The bulldozers and steamrollers rumbled on all night long...Overnight, the Cui family factory changed dramatically. It looked like the large area of land rolled by the steamrollers did not need to be hardened, and high-rise buildings could be built on it.
Since the last heavy snow, the weather has been relatively stable, and the temperature basically remains above zero degrees from eleven to two or three in the day.
Cui Changjia found Engineer Jiang again and asked him to find someone to harden the ground as soon as possible.
At the same time, she found a merchant in the market who could build stainless steel sheds and asked him to measure the size and get a quote. The price was indeed similar to what Cui Changjia and his team had estimated. After bargaining with the merchant for a long time, she finally sold it for 95,000 yuan.
Engineer Jiang hired a lot of people and finished the hardened part in two days. He just had to wait for the stainless steel shed workers to come and erect the columns after it was completely dry.
Seeing that all the problems were solved, everyone was very happy, except for one person who was unhappy, Xiaobao, because his "pets" had no place to live.
I originally thought about not raising these things anymore. After all, this is a factory, and it would be bad if someone came to visit and saw a bunch of chickens, ducks, and geese.
But on the day when the chicken coop was dismantled, Xiaobao, who had gradually become sensible, cried loudly. During the time he had been in the factory, he had established a "deep friendship" with the chickens, ducks and geese, and even each poultry had its own name.
In the end, Cui Wenquan personally led people to build a new chicken coop next to the cafeteria and moved Xiaobao's "babies" there.
At this time, Xingda Network's second contract payment had also arrived.
Zhu Lin called Cui Changjia and said, "Jia Jia, the purchasing department has a new purchasing manager named Huang Dali. Please write down his phone number and contact him directly when you come back for the installation."
Cui Changjia and Zhu Lin were familiar with each other, so he asked, "Boss Zhu, where is the former purchasing manager, Boss Guo?" Zhu Lin smiled and said, "Boss Guo has been promoted to vice president!"
Cui Changjia was stunned. How come Guo Guanping was promoted?
Zhu Lin added, "Vice President Guo is now in charge of our company's reception," she said softly, "Jia Jia, please write down Huang Dali's phone number."
"Okay, Mr. Zhu. Hey, Mr. Zhu, where is Manager Hu Jiayi?"
"He worked as Mr. Guo's assistant."
After hanging up the phone, Cui Changjia immediately laughed and thought to himself, I don’t know who came up with this trick, it’s really talented.
There's no way to get rid of him, and their company isn't short of money, so they just find an excuse to "keep" him on his wing.
It sounds like he was promoted to vice president and has a big title, but he has no real power. He is still in charge of reception, and things like reception have standards. How much money can he be greedy for?
As for Hu Jiayi, he was just an insignificant minion who was transferred to an unimportant position. He resigned voluntarily when he couldn't handle it anymore.
Cui Changjia felt refreshed when she heard the results of Guo Guanping and Hu Jiayi. In addition, everything was going well at the factory, so she felt extremely comfortable.
The factory had plenty of leftover carpentry materials. Engineer Jiang had people dig two grooves on the left and right sides of the hardened surface and filled them with all the leftover sawdust from the boards. They worked day and night, and after just two days the newly hardened cement surface was completely dry and ready for construction.
At this time, the first batch of workstations of Xingda Network could also be installed. The original delivery time stipulated in the contract was fifteen days, but now it has only been ten days.
Because the construction period is relaxed, there is no need to rush the installation.
The second batch of office furniture was more labor-intensive, so Cui Changjia only arranged for Engineer Zhang to bring Dagang to install it, with Chen Ruxue standing by to hand over screws and other things. The rest of the people were in the factory to meet the deadline for the second batch.
Cui Changjia contacted Huang Dali, a spirited young man of about 25 or 26 years old. He was very polite when he saw Cui Changjia. He gave Cui Changjia the key of their company with great confidence and asked them to come over to install it at any time.
At noon on the day of installation, Cui Changjia had just packed some dishes from a restaurant outside and went to the office, asking Zhang Gong and others to come over to rest and eat, and then Sun Yadi called Cui Changjia.
"Changjia, are you busy?"
"In the office."
"That's perfect. I'll treat you to lunch and then I'll go down to see you."
Sun Yadi hung up the phone. Cui Changjia went to the stairs and called Chen Ruxue. Chen Ruxue stretched her head and asked, "Boss Cui, what's wrong?"
"Ask Mr. Zhang and the others to come up for dinner."
"Hey, come right away."
While Cui Changjia was still talking, Sun Yadi came running over. She was wearing a long black down jacket with the zipper unzipped, and her yellow hair was flying, looking very cool!
"Why are you in such a hurry? I bought a lot of food. Let's eat it together."
Sun Yadi asked curiously, "Why did you buy so many vegetables? Are you inviting people to dinner?"
"No, we are installing it downstairs. Let them come over for lunch."
"Then let them eat. Let's go out to eat. I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Cui Changjia didn't hesitate. After Zhang Gong and the others came over, she said something to them and told them not to rush the installation. They should take a rest here after dinner and work later in the afternoon. Then she went out with Sun Yadi.
The two of them found a ramen restaurant near Hengmao International and ordered a bowl of ramen each.
Cui Changjia said, "Why are you so anxious? Tell me what's going on."
My dears, vote, thank you all, good night
