Lu Yuan said something casually, and Manager Cao still followed him.
"Oh, it's alright, let me introduce it to you. There are actually many things on this construction site that you can't see right now. Let me give you a brief introduction."
Lu Yuan gladly accepted Manager Cao's offer.
The other party had previously led Lu Yuan to the side, to the first place where the foundation was being laid, and said...
"This will be the main building of the production workshop. It has six floors, and each floor is divided into different processes. The first floor is mainly for packaging and transportation. Going up from here, the second floor is the first process, the third floor is the second process, and so on up to the fifth and final process at the very top."
The other party talked at length about their plans for the house. Although they had only laid a foundation, the information from his tone made things much clearer for Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan was very satisfied, and then walked to the next place, where he was led by the other party.
Soon, Lu Yuan had toured the entire factory area. Manager Cao felt a bit thirsty, and before Lu Yuan could ask any questions, he quickly took out a bottle of water from his bag and gulped down two mouthfuls.
After seeing that the other person had finished drinking, Lu Yuan asked softly.
"When will the construction in this area be completed?"
After a moment of contemplation, the other person spoke softly.
"The entire park is extremely large, and it will take at least a year to complete."
Upon hearing that it would take a year, Lu Yuan immediately frowned.
"A year is too long. I can't wait that long."
The manager paused for a moment after hearing this, then asked in a tentative tone.
"Actually, it's not impossible to speed up the attack. We just need to adjust and increase the number of personnel. Of course, that depends on how long it takes for Boss Lu to hand over the work."
"Three months."
After Lu Yuan said those words, the other person almost fell to the ground.
"Haha, Mr. Lu, you're joking. How could such a large place be built in just three months?"
"How long will it take you?"
"It will take at least six months."
"So, if it's three months, what conditions would you need?"
Lu Yuan stared intently at Manager Cao, who, upon hearing his words, gave him a deep look.
He felt that Lu Yuan wasn't joking with him; what he said was true.
Seeing the government's reaction to Lu Yuan's situation, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
"If it's three months, it will almost double."
After saying that, Manager Cao was thinking to himself that he really hoped he wouldn't get scolded.
Although he spoke with a lot of confidence, this is also a way out they leave for themselves in their daily lives.
Who knows what might happen if something unexpected goes wrong? If I haven't had enough fun in three months, I'll be in big trouble.
Moreover, it would require tremendous effort to complete the project within three months.
The number of personnel alone will need to be more than doubled. When wages increase, the company's own operations will need to be larger, so doubling the price is about right.
They could make adjustments in one area and save a small portion of the funds.
However, two times the price is still a lot.
He was waiting for Lu Yuan to negotiate the price with him, and then he would call a meeting with the board of directors to discuss it.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly.
"Okay, then you should talk to the board of directors. I'll double the price for you within three months."
After speaking, Lu Yuan took off his helmet and handed it back to the other person.
The moment Manager Cao took the helmet, he felt completely stunned.
He didn't respond until Lu Yuan's car left.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Doubling it just like that? What kind of extravagant move is this?"
After a long pause to make sure he wasn't dreaming, he quickly picked up the phone and dialed the numbers of the project manager and the project director.
"Hey, hey, hey, something big has happened! Something big has happened! Quickly gather everyone for a meeting, there's something important to announce!"
He had barely finished speaking when, half an hour later, the command center office at the construction site was packed with two rows of management personnel wearing white helmets.
Manager Cao recounted everything that had happened that day to everyone, but at the time, no one believed him.
The project director, in particular, had a hint of anger on his face.
"You've been spouting this garbage all day, haven't you? You're messing with us. You're going to pay double the price for a three-month project?"
Manager Cao felt somewhat wronged, and he hurriedly took out his phone.
"Director, this isn't something I made up. Boss Lu told me this himself. If you don't believe me, call him and ask."
Seeing that Manager Cao didn't seem to be joking, the project director's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
He thought for a moment, then picked up his phone, dialed Lu Yuan's number, and put it on speakerphone.
"Beep beep beep".
The phone rang a few times before it was finally answered, and a lazy voice came from the other end.
"Hello, I'm Lu Yuan, who are you?"
"Hey, hello Mr. Lu, I'm Chen Zhen from our construction site, the project director."
"Oh, hello, Chen Zhen, what's up with the call?"
Chen Zhen looked up at Manager Cao across from him. The other man looked a little nervous, and everyone else held their breath.
So Chen Zhen spoke softly into the microphone.
"Well, I have something I want to ask. Today, Xiao Cao from our construction site said, 'You came here, and you said you wanted to extend the construction period to within three months,' right?"
Everyone held their breath and strained to hear. The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone was afraid that their own breathing would disturb them and prevent them from hearing what was being said.
Lu Yuan coughed once, and then spoke.
"Oh, is that what you're talking about? Ah, yes, you complete the project within three months, and I'll give you double the price. If you have time, please revise the contract and we can sign a new one."
Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room was so excited they wanted to jump up.
Although they dared not speak, they excitedly waved their fists repeatedly.
What does it mean to pay twice the price?
They are in the engineering business. The larger the project, the lower the unit price, which is the general understanding. Moreover, as contractors, they can use subcontracting to push the projects out at lower prices, which makes the price even lower and the efficiency higher.
This way they can earn more profit.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhen quickly spoke into the microphone.
"Yes, Mr. Lu, I will immediately instruct my staff to draft a contract."
