Li Xiuyuan hadn't been home for a while. Although he was going to Meilin Village the next morning, he still planned to go home for the night. When he arrived home, his parents were already getting ready to rest. They were a little surprised to see Li Xiuyuan return.
However, the elderly couple were also pleasantly surprised. They fussed over Li Xiuyuan, and Zhang Qiuhe even noticed that her son had lost weight, saying she would make him something delicious to eat the next day to help him recover.
"Mom, I have something to do tomorrow, so I won't be eating at home," Li Xiuyuan said with a smile, shaking his head in refusal.
"Isn't tomorrow the weekend? Is there something else? Is it that busy in the countryside?" Zhang Qiuhe asked with some doubt. Li Xiuyuan was touched when he heard this. His parents ran a small restaurant and didn't really have a concept of weekends. They just looked forward to his coming back on weekends.
"Mom, I just went to the central town, and there's a lot going on. Things will be fine once things are sorted out." Li Xiuyuan felt a little guilty towards his parents. He had passed by his home three times without going in, and although he had returned to the county several times, this was the first time he had come home.
Li Jianguo chimed in from the side, "Your career is the priority. Don't worry about your mother and me. You go ahead and do your thing."
Li Xiuyuan chatted with his parents for a while before going back to his room to rest. Although he hadn't been back for a while, the room was clean and the bedding smelled fresh. It was clear that his mother would come and tidy up the room when she had free time.
Sleeping at home is always exceptionally pleasant. The next morning, Li Xiuyuan woke up feeling refreshed. After breakfast, Zhou Yi was already waiting for him downstairs in his car.
Although the Santana was Li Xiuyuan's own car, he rarely drove it himself; most of the time, others drove it for him.
It's not that Li Xiuyuan is arrogant, but rather that he often attends banquets and drinks when he goes out. Also, when he's sitting in the car, he can take a break or organize his thoughts.
Instead of using that time to concentrate on driving.
When the car arrived in the town, Li Xiuyuan did not ask the car to stop and went directly to Meilin Village.
Shortly after Li Xiuyuan arrived, Wang Yonghua followed. After clarifying the shortage of engineering machinery, Li Xiuyuan, on behalf of the New Rural Construction Guidance Group, signed the contract. The machinery and equipment needed for the entire project included three small dredgers, two wetland excavators, and three dump trucks.
The small dredging vessel costs 1,500 yuan per shift. That means if you work eight hours a day, it will cost 1,500 yuan. Any additional time will be charged separately. Li Xiuyuan estimates that the project will take about 45 days, and this part of the cost will be 200,000 yuan.
Small suction dredgers are mainly used to handle S-bends and narrow waterways, while wetland excavators are mainly used for dredging projects in open sections. The daily rate is the same, but the estimated construction period is fifty days, which adds up to 150,000.
There are also dump trucks. In fact, according to normal transport capacity, five trucks are needed. The reason why only three are used is because there are also tricycles in the village that can be used instead. The total cost here is about 80,000 yuan, and the total cost is 430,000 yuan.
Of course, this is just the calculation based on the contract. If the construction period exceeds the agreed time, additional fees will naturally apply.
This figure was about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan less than what Wang Yonghua had expected. He originally thought it would be around 500,000 yuan, but the tricycles and two small excavators from Meilin Village also took up a share.
However, Wang Yonghua didn't care anymore; it was already good enough that he could get in and occupy most of the market share.
