After getting a bigger project, Zhou Yuan became more confident in being a contractor.
After the contract is signed, the preliminary work will begin, such as setting up Party B's project command center and arranging personnel to select an address and build a shed.
After the shed is built, Party A will arrange to apply for an electricity permit, then find an electrician to install the electrical facilities. Once everything is completed, staff will be sent in.
Of course, not many staff are needed in the early stage, it depends mainly on the situation.
If Party A has completed the survey and design and the project can officially start, a large number of staff can be sent in, and then the project can officially start construction.
This time it is a municipal engineering renovation project, including new roads, drainage diversion, greening projects, etc.
Don't focus on drainage and greening.
The technical difficulty of this project is not high. All you need is a few dozen brothers, one or two excavators and bulldozers, and a few garbage trucks.
The crux of the matter is noise and pollution.
When carrying out construction in the city, the city's management regulations must be strictly followed. Trucks transporting mud must be covered with awnings to prevent mud from leaking out and from falling onto the road.
In addition, because it affects the rest of local residents, construction cannot be carried out too late at night or too early in the morning, and it cannot be carried out when the wind is strong.
In order to prevent the wind and sand from blowing everywhere and affecting the environment, the construction progress cannot be too fast.
However, the completion date signed in the contract is very tight, which is a problem that tests the wisdom of the construction team.
After the project started, Zhou Yuan called his brothers together for a meeting and asked them what to do.
Liu Yiming thought for a moment and said, "We have to add more manpower, prepare more excavators, bulldozers and mud trucks, what else can we do?"
Zhou Yuan had thought of this a long time ago. It costs money to buy these things, and they are of no use after the project is completed, unless they are needed for the next project.
The most expensive thing about being a contractor is buying equipment. This is Zhou Yuan’s biggest experience since he started working as a contractor.
Every time we take on a project, we have to buy a lot of corresponding equipment. But after the project is completed, the next project type is different. Some equipment can be used, but some equipment is left there useless.
Scrap iron can't be sold for much money, and it takes up space when piled up. It becomes useless, a pity to throw it away, but it's tasteless to eat.
So unless I have no other choice, I would rather rent than buy.
"The method the second brother suggested is actually feasible. It involves spending money on equipment, including an excavator, a bulldozer, and a few mud-hauling trucks. That would cost nearly a million, which is no small sum!
I think we should rent it. I'll find a way, and engineer Liu Yiming will figure it out. We'll try to gather everyone as soon as possible so we can put the equipment into use once it arrives."
After the meeting, Zhou Yuan thought of Liu Xiaopan’s company, which had extra excavators, bulldozers, and mud trucks.
So I called her office and contacted her to rent equipment.
Liu Xiaopan hadn't seen Zhou Yuan for many days. She was wondering where he had gone when she heard he wanted to rent equipment. She said with a smile:
"Sure, but you have to give me some credit for your project. The 5km highway reconstruction project you gave me last time is almost finished, and I'm worried about finding something to do.
You're also the boss, so you know it's not easy to support a group of people in a company, right?"
"What? Are you trying to take advantage of me? I'm renting equipment from you, and I'm not asking for money. But you're trying to take advantage of me and divide up my project. Do you think I'll agree to that?"
It’s not like you’re the only one who has this equipment.”
Zhou Yuan laughed heartily. This time, it was a bit difficult for his company to complete a project worth nearly 60 million yuan. The main reason was that the time for completion of the project was too tight, and there were too many restrictions on construction in the city.
Of course, the more money the better, but too much is too hot to handle and hard to earn, right?
If the task cannot be completed on time with guaranteed quality and quantity, the loss will be even greater.
So he actually wanted to share some of the work with Liu Xiaopan, but he would not agree so quickly because he wanted to tease Liu Xiaopan.
This girl is usually very aloof, and she even dares to look down on me. Now that she has come to me to seek refuge, I must first control her and dampen her arrogance, right?
When Liu Xiaopan heard that the man actually wanted to be a stingy miser and make all the money by himself, he resorted to the old trick of playing the victim.
She dragged out her tears and said, "Can't you just have some pity on me for a little while? Do you really want to see my company go bankrupt to be happy?"
They say you should save people to the end and send Buddha to the west. You saved me once, now save me again. Don't forget, I am keeping a secret from you.
Liu Xiaopan's seemingly casual words almost shocked Zhou Yuan. He knew that the other party's words were very important.
In fact, he didn't care. The key was that he didn't want to hurt Liu Xiaofang and her young child.
The fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
Originally, he was full of sympathy and had a good impression of Liu Xiaopan, but after hearing what she said, he immediately said with some disgust:
"Are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare, Mr. Zhou, I'm not threatening you. I'm asking you to have pity on me. My company doesn't have any other work besides the work you and I do. You know, I won't just sit there and watch it get destroyed in my hands, right?
Don't worry, you helped me, I will definitely repay you."
"What do you mean by reward? Becoming my girlfriend or wife?"
Zhou Yuan was just teasing her on purpose. If a girl with Liu Xiaopan's personality took the initiative to marry him, he would have to consider it.
Being pretty is one thing, being capable is another, but character is very important.
