Ye Beiping glanced at the newly risen sun and said, "The foundation isn't deep enough. It needs to be dug at least three and a half meters."
"What? Three and a half meters?"
Wu Guangfa and Jiang Hai exclaimed in unison in surprise.
“That’s right.” Ye Beiping stomped his foot on the ground in his yard and shook his head: “This ground is too soft. According to the reinforced concrete structure, it needs a foundation of at least three and a half meters, otherwise it will not be strong enough.”
This completely baffled Wu Guangfa and Jiang Hai.
Ye Beiping can also build houses?
Is there anything he can't do?
None of them had ever built a reinforced concrete house, so they didn't know about these things.
However, a foundation of 3.5 meters is indeed excessive. The foundations of their brick and tile houses are only 1.5 meters high, so this is more than twice as much.
At this moment, Ye Beiping suddenly asked, "Uncle Wu, do you know anyone who built this kind of house?"
“I…” Wu Guangfa looked at Ye Beiping, then at the blueprints on the ground, and shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Who in our poor countryside understands this?”
Ye Beiping was wryly amused; he was preparing to build a palace.
What's even more ironic is that Wu Di was also talking about building a palace at home.
The main problem is that building this palace... requires money.
Upon hearing this, Ye Beiping could only purse his lips helplessly. He would probably have to wait for news from Jin Ming.
To build a house like this, probably only people from state-owned factories would know the right people.
After seeing off Wu Guangfa, who had a wry smile on his face, Ye Beiping spent another day doing nothing. He would either stroll around the construction site or think about the Xile Hotel in his own yard.
Besides crayfish and free drinks, what other creative ideas can they come up with?
Otherwise, if someone copies it, we can come up with new ways to deal with it.
Three more days passed in this boring period.
Today is the 17th, and the Lantern Festival has already passed.
During the Lantern Festival, Ye Beiping only received a call from Ye Xiaoxin, and they exchanged greetings.
He could have gone to Hangzhou on his own, but Jiang Hai is here, so it's really inconvenient for him to keep going back and forth.
Ye Beiping had no choice but to stay in Pingba Village.
At the normal pace, the construction site has already dug more than two meters, and it is estimated that it will be able to dig to three and a half meters in another three or four days.
Although dozens of people were digging together, Ye Beiping was really not satisfied with the progress.
That's right. In the past, excavators were used to dig foundations, but in this era, it's all done by manpower.
Humans also need rest. You can't work non-stop for more than ten hours. It's already quite good to dig a 3.5-meter foundation for one acre of land in ten days.
Just as Ye Beiping and Jiang Hai finished their meal at the construction site and were about to have nothing to do, Hou Baolin's voice came from afar.
"Beiping, someone in Beiping is looking for you."
Um?
Ye Beiping was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at Jiang Hai: "Who's looking for me?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hai rolled his eyes.
"Go ask the monkey if anyone's looking for you. You're asking me? I can calculate it." With that, he walked straight toward Hou Baolin.
Ye Beiping, who was following behind, also felt that he must have been bored out of his mind these past few days, as he was able to make such a basic mistake.
Hou Baolin ran up to Ye Beiping, and after catching his breath, he said, "Beiping, I just went to your house and found two people standing at your door. They seemed to be looking for you. They looked familiar, so I came to call you."
The construction site is not far from Ye Beiping's home, just a few meters away.
Because the construction site was on high ground, Ye Beiping could not see his own yard.
Hearing Hou Baolin's words, he took a few steps and stood on a slope. Only then did he see that there were indeed two people in Zhongshan suits standing at the gate of his own yard.
He's obviously not an ordinary person.
In this era, people who could afford to wear a Zhongshan suit were either rich or powerful.
Yes, they're pretty much like the leaders in state-owned factories.
Jiang Hai leaned closer to take a look, and perhaps because of his good eyesight, he recognized her instantly: "Isn't that Director Jin?"
Director Kim?
Ye Beiping squinted. It did look quite similar, but he couldn't see it clearly. He glanced at Jiang Hai unexpectedly.
He chuckled and said, "Brother Jiang Hai, about our bet..."
Counting the days, today is exactly the third day.
Jiang Hai was surprised to learn that Ye Beiping's gamble had actually paid off. He asked helplessly, "How did you know they would come today?"
"I don't know."
Ye Beiping shrugged and walked towards his home: "I'm not a god, how could I possibly guess?"
"Then you'll bet me three days?" Jiang Hai asked, following closely behind.
Hou Baolin, who was standing behind them, was completely confused. What were the two of them talking about?
As Ye Beiping walked, he explained, "Brother Jiang Hai, have you forgotten that on the day we left, Director Jin specifically asked about the Xile Hotel?"
"They've already asked, so they'll definitely investigate. Doesn't an investigation take time? It'll only take four or five days, maybe six. What Director Jin is worried about is that we don't have the money. Once he's investigated and confirmed that we have the capital, do you think he'll give up the opportunity to expand the brewery?"
"But..." Jiang Hai still couldn't understand, and asked, "How can you be sure he definitely believes you?"
"This is even simpler."
Seeing that they were almost at their doorstep, Ye Beiping stopped and explained, "Because my idea saved their brewery before, they trust me to sell the beer. Most importantly, they feel more at ease to expand because of the guaranteed minimum."
Jiang Hai finally understood.
Trust had been established before, and this proposed cooperation, after removing any concerns, was primarily driven by Jin Ming's personal desire to expand and strengthen the business, and to create new glories!
