Chapter 475: No one is busy in vain
Zhou Yimin said at this time: "Master Cao, there is something I want you to help me with. Is it possible?"
Master Cao immediately became serious: "Yimin, no matter what you say, as long as I can help, I will definitely help!"
After waiting for so long, I finally have the opportunity to get closer to Zhou Yimin. Of course, I can't miss this opportunity.
Zhou Yimin didn't keep the secret: "Master Cao, I would like to invite you to guide our Zhoujiazhuang road construction project."
Zhou Zhiming felt that this was a very good idea. Having a professional person would make things much easier.
"Master Cao, Yimin is right. This is your hard work. You can't give up halfway!"
Master Cao himself was also a little tempted. If he agreed, he would definitely have many opportunities to get closer to Zhou Yimin in the future.
And what Zhou Zhiming said was not wrong. Efforts were made to build the road in Zhoujiazhuang, but the degree of effort put in by the construction team was definitely different.
He built this construction team up bit by bit from scratch.
Master Cao was indeed a little worried about what would become of this construction team without him!
This project will not be short, it may take two to three months, or even longer.
During this period, if the construction team does not do a good job on the project, the good reputation they have accumulated over such a long time will be ruined in one day.
It means that all the hard work over the years has been wasted. More importantly, once your reputation is ruined, no one will hire you for work.
After a lot of persuasion, Zhou Yimin and Zhou Zhiming finally got Master Cao to agree.
Soon Zhou Yimin drove his motorcycle to Sijiu City and first sent Master Cao back home.
"Master Cao, the work has officially started. We will notify you when the time comes!"
Master Cao nodded. For Chinese people, this kind of thing is very normal. Even to build a stove, one has to choose an auspicious day, not to mention such a big project as building a road.
Although it is a bit feudal and superstitious for this period, there is still some truth in this custom that has been passed down.
You may not understand, but please respect.
After saying goodbye to Master Cao, Zhou Yimin was the first to go back to the courtyard to get some things.
If Zhou Zhiming hadn't been there, he probably wouldn't have had to go back and could have just bought it from the store.
But with Zhou Zhiming around, making something out of thin air was too shocking, and Zhou Yimin didn't want others to know about this.
The only thing I can do is go back and cover it up.
Zhou Zhiming was a little curious: "Yimin, aren't we going to the street office to see Director Li? Why are we coming to your house?"
Zhou Yimin patted his head and said, "Brother Zhiming, if you ask someone to do something for you, you have to bring something with you."
As the saying goes, one should be grateful to those who have eaten his food and be grateful to those who have received his gifts.
There is nothing wrong in bringing a little extra when you ask others to do something for you.
Zhou Zhiming was surprised. There was such a way. It seemed that there was a reason why Zhou Yimin could be so successful in the city.
He immediately gave me a thumbs up, but then he didn't follow me in. He just sat on the motorcycle and waited.
Zhou Yimin jogged all the way in, and not long after he entered, he saw a small bag of something in his hand.
Zhou Zhiming didn't say much and asked what was inside.
As long as we know that the things inside can help the village, that's enough.
Zhou Yimin drove his motorcycle and quickly arrived at the street office.
Zhou Yimin came to Director Li's office with ease.
Knock on the office door!
"Come in!"
After Zhou Yimin brought Zhou Zhiming into the office, he considerately closed the office door.
When Director Li saw Zhou Yimin, he said, "Yimin, how much cement does Master Cao need for the on-site inspection?"
Zhou Yimin first put the things he brought on the table, and then said: "Aunt Li, this is milk powder for my nephew!"
When Director Li heard this, he knew that the amount of cement needed by Zhoujiazhuang must be a bit too much, otherwise Zhou Yimin would not do this.
But I still accepted it, after all, I wanted to maintain a good relationship with Zhou Yimin.
"Thank you, Yimin!"
Zhou Yimin spoke up at this time: "Aunt Li, after Master Cao's investigation, it seems that we will need about 25 tons of cement!"
Zhou Zhiming was a little confused. Wasn't it 20 tons? How come it became 25 tons in Zhou Yimin's mouth?
Director Li was also slightly shocked. It turned out that it was not so easy to collect things.
You have to know that 25 tons of cement is basically the amount produced by the street office in one quarter, and fortunately this is the capital, otherwise if it were somewhere else, it might be the amount produced in half a year or even a year, which is not surprising.
Although there was some surplus before, 25 tons was still a bit too much, so he said, "Yimin, 25 tons, this amount is a bit too much."
"The subdistrict office can only approve 20 tons of cement for Zhoujiazhuang at most!"
Director Li also has to consider the street office. If he gave Zhou Yimin 25 tons at one time, would the street office's construction team still need to work?
Zhou Yimin nodded and vomited: "Okay, let's do as you say, Aunt Li!"
Director Li finally realized that Zhou Yimin had set a trap for her to fall into, and then said unhappily, "Yimin, you..."
Zhou Yimin quickly explained: "Aunt Li, don't be angry, I just came up with this idea because I had no other options."
Even if Zhou Zhiming racked his brains, he couldn't figure out how to do this.
It seems that I can indeed learn a lot by following Zhou Yimin.
Director Li was not really angry, and then said: "Yimin, but you have to come here by yourselves!"
The subdistrict office does not have such a large means of transportation, otherwise they would not have asked Zhou Yimin to drive a truck to help transport things from the processing plant last time!
Zhou Yimin replied: "No problem, we can just come over from Zhoujiazhuang when the time comes!"
"Auntie Li, how much is this cement per ton?"
Director Li thought for a while and said, "The price of cement is fixed at 92 yuan per ton. This is a hard and fast rule. I can't do anything about it!"
Even if the street office buys it, it will cost this price.
Director Li can’t abuse his power for personal gain and ask the street office to subsidize Zhoujiazhuang!
If she dared to do this, her position as director would probably be over. Besides, the amount of money was not a small amount. For twenty tons, it would cost more than one thousand or two thousand yuan.
The current salary is only 20 to 30 yuan a month, and more than 1,000 yuan is equivalent to working for 60 months without eating or drinking.
Zhou Yimin nodded: "Aunt Li, this amount is a bit large, I need to go back to the village to collect it!"
Director Li nodded: "Don't worry about it. You can come over anytime and I'll pay you then!"
At this time, Director Li spoke again: "Yimin, I wonder if you still have any meat?"
There was no way. The processing plant had received many orders at the Canton Fair. She was afraid that the workers would complain if there was no additional meat!
If the project cannot be completed on time, the street office will have to pay huge compensation.
Zhou Yimin didn't expect that this favor would not be in vain, so he immediately replied: "Aunt Li, that depends on how much you need?"
Director Li was a little embarrassed: "I want to buy 300 kilograms of pork this time. Is it possible?"
She also knew that this request was a bit excessive, as meat was definitely a hot commodity right now.
In order to eat meat, many people go to the meat stalls early to queue up, just hoping to buy some meat.
If you don't get in line early, the meat will be sold out.
Zhou Yimin pretended to be in a difficult situation, and then said with difficulty: "Aunt Li, since you have asked, I will help you even if it is difficult."
After hearing this, Director Li hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Yimin! If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do."
