Chapter 315 Carpenter
Captain Lin and Lin Qiao were both stunned when they saw the food being served. There was braised pork, pork liver, a plate of cold pork skin, and a bowl of scallion and egg soup. Such living conditions were something their families, who had a decent life, would only eat like this during festivals.
They were not shy, after all, no one was eating with them.
The people eating next to them are all customers.
"Boss, I heard that Linzhi applied for a piece of land near the station and is really planning to build a hotel there. Aren't my uncles carpenters? We can definitely hire them to do such a big project."
After Zhang Jing went to Linzhi's home, she returned to the shop and looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"Listen to my mom's bragging. My uncle and his friends are fine if they don't get paid for their work, but if they get paid for it, they might end up paying for the materials."
Zhao Yi glanced at Zhang Jing and said.
The carpenter that Li Daju refers to is someone who can just put a few pieces of wood together and make them usable.
Li Dashun and his friends know a little but are not proficient. Many people in rural areas ask their neighbors for help when building their houses. Since it is a favor, the requirements will not be very high, as long as it is guaranteed not to leak.
Things like tables and benches need to be made strong but if you want them to look good you can only hire a professional carpenter.
The table they made was so difficult that even a strong laborer like Zhao Yi found it difficult to carry it.
If Linzhi's family wants to hire a carpenter to do the work, then the price must be worth it. The tables, chairs, and beds may not be very beautiful, but they must look acceptable at first glance. Looking at the craftsmanship of his uncles, Zhao Yi just wanted to say don't waste the money he earned from trading eggs.
Otherwise, Zhao Yi would have recommended them to the construction team to help as carpenters.
However, Zhao Yi was still surprised to hear that Linzhi had applied for a piece of land. Although the application for self-built houses is now relaxed, not everyone can apply for it.
Just like living in a courtyard house, many people feel that there are not enough rooms and there are many children in the family, so they ask a carpenter to build a wooden house next door. If everyone in the courtyard is united, it is fine. But if there is no unity, it will be regarded as unauthorized occupation of collective resources.
In regional cities, the population is not as large as that of big cities, so the housing allocation for workers is relatively relaxed. In big cities like Kyoto and Shanghai, many workers' families only have houses of less than 20 square meters in total.
The family had three or four children and had no place to live.
Therefore, it is a little difficult to apply for self-built house.
Zhao Yi was not envious. Running a hotel was a bit troublesome, and the daily income was not too high, not as good as the current grocery store income. With resources, it could be much higher than the salary of an ordinary worker.
What’s more, the house will be yours in the future, so it’s a good choice whether it is demolished or used for something else.
"Did their family make money?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhang Jing and asked with a smile.
"The profit from taking a TV to Xinshi is fifty. On average, they come here once every two days, and they bring six or seven TVs each time. How can we not make money?"
Zhang Jing smiled.
Of course Zhao Yi knew about these things, but his family earned the most money, so he naturally had no time to pay attention to these trivial matters. Zhao Yi's profit from wholesale of a TV was more than 200 yuan.
No matter how much money you make, you can't earn as much as I do here, so I have no interest in paying attention.
"Now she gets a five-yuan commission for every customer she brings in. Some customers also buy washing machines or tape recorders. This month, she has brought in so many customers that I have to give her more than a thousand yuan in commission alone."
Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Yi and said.
Ever since Linzhi's husband went to Xinshi and the business was fully developed in Xinshi, Linzhi could bring in twenty customers every other day on average.
Zhao Yi has earned more than 100,000 yuan in profit from the new market opened up by Lin Zhi's family. The average profit of a TV is 270 yuan, and this is just the case when the new market was just opened.
This situation can last at least half a year or more.
If Zhao Yi disposed of all the goods in his hands and stopped doing business, he would now have a savings of nearly 500,000 yuan. Tang Wenjie, Zheng Hongtao and Lin Zhi could be considered Zhao Yi's benefactors. Without them, Zhao Yi would not have been able to expand his business so much and earn so much money.
However, driven by human nature, how could Zhao Yi be willing to give up? Such a business will last at least for three years. If the requirement of purchasing television sets with tickets is cancelled, Zhao Yi's television business will lose its advantage.
By then, I will have enough capital to do the business I want.
Zhao Yi did not look down on others just because he earned such a small amount of money. Zhao Yi remembered that there seemed to be an article in the newspaper about a man who sold melon seeds and now saved a million. Compared with him, he was nothing.
However, among these things, except for the home appliances, which are under Zhao Yi's own name, the grocery store is under the name of his uncle Zhao Dajiang, and the restaurant is under the name of Zhang Xiang and Chen Fen.
I don't employ anyone at home.
"I won't tell you anymore. I have to go back and take them to work."
Zhang Jing seemed to remember something and hurried back home with her purse.
At this time, Captain Lin had finished his meal and left. Liu Yumei and Lin Qiao wanted to help clean up after the meal but were rejected by Li Baoyu and the others. At this time, they sat obediently at the gate of Zhao Yi's house.
Seeing Zhang Jing coming, he quickly stood up.
"sister in law."
"Come on, I'll take you there to get accustomed to it."
Zhang Jing smiled and nodded, then led the two of them to the grocery store.
"This is my uncle, you can just call him Uncle Zhao. The business of the grocery store is very simple, Xiaohui will teach you."
Zhang Jing spoke a few words to Zhao Dajiang, who nodded.
Now that the ready-made garments have to be separated out, these few people are totally unable to take care of it. The matter of hiring people had been discussed in advance, and what they are discussing now is to cook for two more people when they cook in the future.
Zhao Dajiang doesn't care about this expense. What's important is to do business well.
The two little girls came to Luo Hui and Wang Daya. They were a little embarrassed at first, but gradually got used to it and learned some product introductions after an afternoon.
After they finished their meal here, they headed back home.
Luo Hui began to teach the two how to use the washing machine and some things to pay attention to in the bathroom.
“Why do they wash by hand when they have a washing machine at home?”
Looking at Zhao Peng, Zhao Xuanxuan and Lin Qiao who had returned from school, they were a little confused. Although they didn't know who they were, they looked a bit like Zhang Jing, so they must be Zhang Jing's child.
"My sister-in-law said that if they go to college in the future, we can't arrange a washing machine for them. Except for winter clothes, they have to wash them by hand."
Luo Hui explained with a smile.
The two little guys didn't care. They had already formed a habit. Every day after school, they would finish their homework, take a bath, change clothes, and then wash their clothes. After washing their clothes, they would go out to play for a while before going to bed.
"We can watch TV after the restaurant customers finish their meals."
Luo Hui did not introduce the two little ones in detail. After washing their clothes, they went out to play.
