Lin Yifeng hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.
In the 1990s, electricians were highly sought after. There were only a handful of electricians in each city, and people would usually turn to apprentices for any minor electrical issues.
If a major problem arises, you can only find a senior, experienced technician.
For something as large-scale as Lin Yifeng's plan to build a shopping mall, he definitely needs to find reliable people.
Of course, when they had no clue about this aspect, they found a way through this group of people, which saved them a lot of effort in installing things later.
These past few days, Lin Yifeng has also had Xu Qingyi keep an eye on the factory area to carry out the final finishing work.
At the same time, Lin Yifeng is also contacting the renovation team and the designer who is planning the mall.
After several busy days, Xu Qingyi returned to her office looking exhausted.
As soon as I entered, I gulped down two mouthfuls of water.
Lin Yifeng was reviewing the detailed accounts that had been provided so far.
For places like Factory 134, which were left as bare shells and then renovated, it was indeed a considerable expense.
From the most basic water and electricity supply to the laying of floor tiles, these all need to be done step by step.
Most importantly, Lin Yifeng has to put in a lot of effort to build the structure of Factory 134.
"Brother Feng."
"The plumber and electrician have already been contacted."
"We can start the renovations tomorrow."
Xu Qingyi sat on the sofa, eating an ice pop, and handed one to Lin Yifeng.
He explained while exclaiming in amazement.
“This place is not easy to manage.”
“If it weren’t for your connections, Feng, it would have taken us a lot of time just to get the permits and go through the procedures.”
"I reckon that once the plumbing and electrical work is done, things will be much easier."
Lin Yifeng smiled.
In this respect, Ye Wuzheng's side did indeed provide some convenience.
This kid has been around Makino City for so long, he has all sorts of friends, and with his arcade under his control, Lin Yifeng basically doesn't need to bother with anything.
As soon as there was the slightest commotion, those people would step in and get things done for Lin Yifeng.
Even the foreman who initially led the construction team was amazed.
When they went to do engineering projects, this was the first time they had ever seen something so convenient.
Generally speaking, given the work efficiency of that era, if Lin Yifeng wanted to set up Factory 134, it would take him ten days to half a month just to go through the procedures.
He only needed to say a few words, and all the formalities were completed in three days.
Not only that, the group was also very curious about what Lin Yifeng was going to build.
When Pang Donglai opens, this group of people will definitely be Lin Yifeng's first customers.
The next day.
Downstairs from the former Factory No. 134.
Lin Yifeng sat in the car, watching the plumbers and electricians who had already begun inspecting the house, and waited quietly.
Two hours later, the craftsmen stood at the door shaking their heads, looking troubled. Even Xu Qingyi came outside with a bitter face.
Lin Yifeng rolled down the car window, and Xu Qingyi waved to him.
"Brother Feng, I reckon this won't be easy to handle. Why don't you come and take a look?"
Lin Yifeng got out of the car and followed Xu Qingyi into the house, where he saw the workers holding the floor plans of Factory 134 and discussing them animatedly.
This piqued Lin Yifeng's curiosity.
As they approached, a middle-aged man leading the group stood before Lin Yifeng with a furrowed brow.
"Big boss, I heard it from the little boss."
“You need to connect water and electricity to three floors, and you also need to add a roof and seal it off on the top floor.”
"The circuitry here is difficult to work with; it's not something you can just fix by making minor modifications."
Lin Yifeng was slightly taken aback.
After listening to the other party's brief explanation, I understood the problem.
The original Factory 134 was a production plant, so it didn't have a big demand for electricity and water. As long as the first floor could support the operation of high-power appliances, it was sufficient.
For example, if Lin Yifeng were to build Pang Donglai, at least these three floors, plus the spacious rooftop, would all need to be electrified.
The original circuitry of Factory 134 was sufficient for the first floor, but the second and third floors, including the fourth floor where the circuitry had not yet been installed, required a complete overhaul of the circuitry.
This will definitely take a lot of time, including rewiring and negotiating with the power company to increase electricity consumption.
Otherwise, once the store opens, if the power supply is only enough to power the equipment on the first floor, the circuit breaker will trip immediately when the power consumption on the second and third floors increases, which will become a big problem.
Of course, this is actually just a minor issue in the current renovation process.
The most important point is about water!
In Lin Yifeng's initial plan, he intends to completely renovate Factory 134.
The first floor mainly sells gold, silver, electrical appliances, and various valuables.
The second floor sells clothing, while the third floor sells bedding and various shoes.
Lin Yifeng plans to complete the roof of the unused top floor of Factory 134 and transform it into a large supermarket.
So here's the question.
Tap water is supplied to buildings through a main pipeline, then pressurized to the upper floors, and then flows downwards through the floors using the natural pressure of the water flow.
Factory 134 itself did not have much water pressure, so when it was built, they saved a lot of money on water and electricity.
The water pressure is currently insufficient to reach the upper floors; at most, it can only reach the second floor.
If there's no water in the supermarket, wouldn't that be a huge joke?
"The big boss said there's a bit of a problem."
"You should see for yourself."
Surrounded by plumbers and electricians, Lin Yifeng arrived at the water room behind Factory 134.
Seeing the original water supply inlet of Factory 134 made him laugh.
The enormous factory was entirely supplied with water by a pipe as thick as an arm, and the electrical distribution box made Lin Yifeng shake his head in disbelief.
