The policies will become more and more relaxed, but don't commit crimes against the wind now. Even though Mou Zonghong became the richest man, he was still arrested for violating the regulations at the time.
Zhao Xiaohai doesn't want to follow in Mou Zhexi's footsteps.
The village party secretary introduced his relative's construction team.
As soon as the sun rose, Liu Mazi, the construction team's contractor, came to the door.
Liu Mazi is also well-known in the local construction industry. He is smart and capable, but the conspicuous pockmarks on his face are very impressive.
As soon as he entered the door, he extended his hand with a smile on his face: "Boss Zhao, congratulations! I heard you were going to build a house, so I rushed over. I'm a professional, so leave this job to me, you can rest assured!"
Zhao Xiaohai smiled and shook hands with him, then welcomed him into the house and sat him down. He poured him a cup of tea and said, "Master Liu, I have a rather unusual idea this time. I want to build not only a house but also a shop. For the house, I'd like to build it two stories, so it's more spacious. For the shop, I'd like to build it in the style of a large shed, following the factory's framework. What do you think?"
Liu Mazi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said, "Boss Zhao, this is a great idea! A two-story house is both grand and practical; a large shed-style shop is spacious and convenient for doing any business in the future. I've been in this business for many years, and I'm familiar with this kind of work! Just tell me when to start construction and when you want it to be completed."
Zhao Xiaohai thought for a moment and said, "I hope it can be completed as soon as possible. After all, time is very tight here. Master Liu, how long do you think it will take?"
Liu Mazi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and quickly calculated in his mind. Then he said confidently, "Boss Zhao, your request may be a bit unusual, but we have experience. If everything goes well, the house and the shop can be completed for you in about three months!"
Zhao Xiaohai frowned slightly: "Is three months too long? Can it be faster?"
Liu Mazi scratched his head, looking troubled. "Boss Zhao, you know, building a house is no small matter. We have to ensure quality. But since you're so anxious, I'll go back and talk to my brothers and see if we can work harder and finish it for you in two and a half months. Is that okay with you?"
Zhao Xiaohai thought about it and felt that this time was acceptable, so he nodded and said, "Okay, Master Liu, then two and a half months. But the quality must be guaranteed, and there can't be any problems."
Liu Mazi patted his chest and said, "Boss Zhao, don't worry! Our reputation is here, and the quality is absolutely excellent. Please tell me what specific requirements you have for the house and the shop, and I will write them down."
Zhao Xiaohai stood up and pointed in the direction of the yard. "For the house, I want a spacious living room on the first floor to facilitate receiving guests, plus a kitchen and bathroom. On the second floor, I want a few more bedrooms for my family. As for the shop, after the main frame is built, the walls must be sturdy, the ground must be flat, and the ceiling must be waterproofed, after all, we will be storing things for business in the future."
As Liu Mazi listened, he pulled a small notebook from his pocket and quickly wrote down the details. "Okay, Boss Zhao. I've got a spacious living room, a kitchen and bathroom on the first floor, multiple bedrooms on the second floor, the shop frame, the walls, the floor, the waterproofing... I've got everything written down. Do you have any ideas for the materials?"
Zhao Xiaohai sat back in his chair and said seriously, "The materials must be good. We can't use cheap, inferior products. The bricks must be high-quality blue bricks, the steel bars must meet the standards, and the cement should be a local brand with a good reputation."
Liu Mazi nodded vigorously: "No problem, Boss Zhao. I will definitely do as you say, use good materials, and ensure that the house is strong and durable. Look at the wages..."
Zhao Xiaohai had a plan in mind. He said, "Master Liu, I'm not going to be vague with you about the wages. According to the market price, as long as you can complete the work ahead of schedule and with high quality, I will give you an additional 1,000 yuan for every week ahead of schedule."
Liu Mazi smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits. "Boss Zhao is really straightforward! Just wait and see. I promise to lead my brothers to work day and night and hand over the house to you as soon as possible."
The two discussed some details and finally reached an agreement. Zhao Xiaohai and Liu Mazi signed a house construction contract and paid a down payment of RMB as the starting money.
