This was a construction company from out of town. When Li Cheng and his team had originally put out the bid, their asking price was the lowest, so the project was awarded to them.
The lower the price, the lower the profit. To make more money, the boss will save money in other places. This boss saves money by squeezing the living expenses of employees.
Li Cheng had no good solution to this problem.
But today, the construction workers came to him, and they looked very pitiful. They said that the food was not good and asked if he could help them.
Li Cheng looked at these workers with dark faces and thought that working in the construction industry is very strenuous work, so how could they not eat better?
Just by looking at their appearance, Li Cheng knew that their food was not good and that their boss was too stingy.
But there is really no way to control this matter, after all, it is an internal matter of the construction company.
If you say that the workers don't eat well, they will say that the project price is low.
You say the workers don’t eat well. Okay, as long as you pay, I can provide them with abalone and lobster every day.
Although he knew that there was nothing he could do about it, Li Cheng couldn't bear to see them suffer.
So, Li Cheng thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I can have the people here open a small shop and stock up on ham, eggs, roast chicken, and so on. You can go buy them if you need them. As for the price, I'll let them know and tell them not to raise the price too high."
The workers were very happy when they heard this, because they had previously paid double the price for these things.
After sending these construction workers away, Li Cheng saw Ai Yi chatting with the workers, so he first found the person in charge of the battery factory and told him to open a small shop here to meet everyone's daily shopping needs.
The person in charge said, "Our people don't lack anything. We send out a shopping cart every two days, and they can have someone bring back whatever they want."
Li Cheng knew that the factory would send a car back to the city every two days to buy daily necessities, but didn't he want to take care of the construction workers who did heavy work and didn't eat well?
When the person in charge learned that Li Chengrang opened a small shop to take care of the people from the construction company, he smiled and said, "Chairman Li, things over there are quite complicated. It's better not to get involved."
Li Cheng felt that there was something else behind his words, so he asked him what was going on.
The person in charge told him that the person in charge of logistics at the construction company was the boss's sister-in-law...
Taking advantage of the fact that he had nothing to do before dinner, Li Cheng walked slowly to the construction company alone.
The construction company's accommodation and dining areas are also several rows of prefabricated houses.
Honestly, the construction industry is tough. You build tall buildings from scratch, and then they leave once they're finished.
The workers always live in temporary wooden houses, which are cold in winter and hot in summer, and one room is always crowded with people.
In front of a wooden house, Li Cheng met the sister-in-law of the construction company boss.
This person was dressed very fancy, which added a different kind of scenery to the place.
The outside of the wooden house where my sister-in-law lives is very clean, and the door is much tighter than other places. At least there is a complete door.
This sister-in-law looks to be in her twenties, with a bit of childishness on her face, and she is quite pretty.
Li Cheng suddenly appeared in front of her and she was obviously a little flustered.
Just by looking at Li Cheng's clothes and appearance, the sister-in-law knew that Li Cheng was not a worker there, so she guessed that he was a small leader who came to inspect the work.
"Leader, please sit here. My brother-in-law is out..."
My sister-in-law seemed very flustered, and her usual eloquence seemed to be suppressed.
Li Cheng did not go in, but just stood at the door and took a look inside.
Sure enough, there were a lot of instant noodles, ham sausages, salted duck eggs and other things inside.
"I heard you sell things here, I want to buy something."
"Oh! Are you here to buy something?"
Li Cheng smiled slightly and said, "What do you think? Are you here to inspect our work?"
Seeing Li Cheng's smiling face, the sister-in-law panicked even more. She quickly pointed inside the house and said, "Just take whatever you want..."
Li Cheng looked at her blushing face and said with a smile, "Then I really took it!"
The sister-in-law finally came to her senses and said a little embarrassedly: "What do you want to buy? I'll get it for you."
Li Cheng looked at those things and pointed at the cheapest instant noodles.
My sister-in-law hurried into the house and came out with two bags of instant noodles.
"How much?"
"Take it and eat it. It's not easy for the leader to come to the construction site."
Li Cheng didn't take the instant noodles and said, "How can I not want money? Don't say I'm not a leader, even if you are a leader, you can't not want money, right?"
The sister-in-law smiled and said, "I saw it all just now. When you came, they all came to the door to greet you."
Li Cheng didn't want to hide his identity anymore, so he smiled and said, "Oh, I come here once a month to visit our employees and see if they have any difficulties in their lives."
The sister-in-law lowered her hand holding the instant noodles. She concluded that this person was not here to buy instant noodles.
"Tell me, how much is the instant noodles?"
The sister-in-law glanced at him, then went back to the house and closed the door.
Looking at the closed door, Li Cheng just smiled and had no intention of leaving.
"I heard you're selling the cheapest instant noodles for three yuan, right? That's a bit harsh, I think."
There was no movement in the room. Li Cheng continued, "It only sells for one dollar in the city. There's no place to buy it here. You're the sole dealer, so you can just sell it for one dollar and twenty, or one dollar and fifty. Why are you acting like a profiteer and insisting on selling it for three dollars?"
This time the people in the room reacted and said, "I'll sell it for whatever price I want. You can control the people over there, but you can't control me."
Li Cheng smiled again and thought to himself, "Do you think I can control you?"
"I see. I'm letting you know. Since you're the sole dealer, it would be rude of us to steal your business without informing you."
"So, I'm officially informing you that we're also going to open a small shop over there, and the prices will naturally be much more reasonable. I don't think you'll be able to sell your inventory, so you'd better lower the price quickly to avoid it rotting on your hands..."
With a "clang", the door opened and my sister-in-law came out.
"Who are you? Are you the Li Cheng they are talking about?"
"Yes, I am Li Cheng."
My sister-in-law was speechless.
The workers here have long said that the food at the battery factory is good because there is a union chairman named Li Cheng.
He also said that when Chairman Li Cheng comes, he will ask him to take charge of his side and see if he can improve the food.
Now that Li Cheng is here, he's here to steal our business. Isn't that infuriating?
The sister-in-law looked at Li Cheng and said with a blushing face: "You, you wait, my brother-in-law will be back soon, I will let him tell you------"
Li Cheng said, "Okay, I'll wait until he comes back."
The sister-in-law glared at him and turned back to the house.
