Lin Mo explained that the actual area of the house was less than a thousand square meters, with the garden pond and backyard vegetable patch taking up most of the area.
Later, when he has saved up some money, he wants to set aside some land to build a factory and do some business, but he doesn't have enough funds now, so he can only take it slowly.
"Three acres of land are all surrounded by blue bricks?"
Seeing Lin Mo nod, everyone was a little dumbfounded. Nowadays, most people build houses with blue bricks as the base and wood as the roof.
How could someone like Lin Mo be so wealthy that he even used blue bricks for the walls? When did Qingshui Village produce such a wealthy family?
Even old men like Li Da and Zhong Jiajun who have been working on construction sites for many years were dumbfounded when they saw Lin Mo's generosity, and they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, "He is rich!"
Looking at the blueprints, the house is in the mountains. They have also taken on many house-building projects in the village, but most of them are adobe and thatched houses. Blue bricks and stone tiles are relatively rare.
It is rare to see a house like Lin Mo's, where the exterior walls are mainly made of blue bricks.
"How many people might take it on?" Lin Mo asked. He wanted to finalize the time as soon as possible.
"No problem. If it's convenient for Boss Lin, we can find a time to conduct an on-site survey of the terrain so that we can finalize the construction schedule and plan."
Several people looked at each other and nodded. Lin Mo's house was a big project for them now. From now on, they would live a richer life in the new year.
"I'm free this afternoon. If it's convenient for you, you can come with me and take a look."
Several people looked at each other and nodded. The one named Li Da looked at Lin Mo awkwardly.
The man with dark, thin features said sincerely and tactfully, "Boss Lin, I'm sorry for being so rude. I see that you don't dress like the wealthy people I've seen before. You look more like a student in an academy. Maybe I'm just being shortsighted... The materials and labor for this house will cost several hundred taels..."
Lin Mo smiled and inexplicably felt a liking for Li Da. Although he was not wearing coarse linen clothes, they were just ordinary fine cotton.
If it weren't for Manager Zhang's face, these people probably wouldn't have come. Now, seeing the other party's expression of caring for him, Lin Mo's liking for this person became even stronger.
He smiled generously and said, “Don’t worry, brothers, I know the budget for this house, and I want to finish it quickly, so time will be of the essence.
Don't worry about the wages. I will sign a contract with you when the time comes, and Zhang the shopkeeper will be your guarantor. As long as you build according to my requirements, I will not treat you unfairly."
"Don't worry, old brothers. Brother Mo is my good friend. With me here, you just need to follow him without worry." Shopkeeper Zhang came out at the right time to give a reassurance.
He knew Lin Mo's ability. When he came from the provincial capital, the shopkeeper there wrote the letter personally, so he knew that Lin Mo had a lot of money on him.
In addition, Lin Mo had only been here for two days, but he had already given him a lot of ideas, which helped his restaurant business to reach a higher level, and for this he received a lot of rewards from the boss.
Hearing this, Zhong Jiajun and Li Da felt even more relieved. Their two construction teams were familiar with each other. Sometimes when they encountered a big project, they would undertake it together and they had a tacit understanding in cooperation.
"I'll give you a hundred taels of silver as a deposit. This is just for the labor costs of both your families. I'll have my brother contact you about the blue bricks and tiles you'll need. You can talk to him about anything you need."
Lin Wu had some experience in building houses for others before, and he was able to support a family at a young age, but he was impulsive and his mind was not yet stable.
Lin Mo wanted to train him, so he tried his best to arrange some things for him, such as building a house, purchasing materials, and even recruiting strong laborers in the village. These could temper his temperament and make him more stable and mature.
Be able to stand on your own feet as soon as possible.
"Brother Zhang, please provide me with some writing materials. We will sign the contract now. If there are any other questions later, we can discuss them later."
Several people looked at Cheng Liang. A deposit of one hundred taels was a lot for them. In the past, employers rarely paid most of the deposit in advance.
Most of the time, the payment will be made only after the project is completed, and some are even paid in three or four installments. This is the first time they have received such a large deposit before starting any work.
Everyone nodded in unison and looked at Lin Mo with joy. The two teams together had only 27 people. The project was estimated to take three to four months. If divided equally, it would not be a problem for each person to earn dozens of taels.
Lin Mo was also very satisfied with them: "Then please follow me home to survey the terrain and finalize the construction period and specific costs."
Li Da wrote a contract personally, following the method of their construction team. After Lin Mo saw that there was no problem, he stamped his handprint and signed it. With this, the deal was finalized.
Lin Mo knew very well that Manager Zhang probably thought he was going to build an ordinary farmhouse, so the construction team he introduced to him was not a big team.
This is a good thing. He only needs a few core technical personnel to lead the villagers and increase the income of the village.
"When the time comes, I will recruit some strong laborers from the village to help build the house. I have already negotiated with the village to provide lunch for everyone. How about you all eat lunch together in the village?" Lin Mo said.
"That's great! It would be great to have lunch. We're not too far from Qingshui Town, so we don't have to bring pots and pans."
Zhong Jiajun scratched his head excitedly. They were all rough guys, and each one of them cooked worse than the other. Every time they went to work far away, they had to carry their pots and pans on their backs.
Li Da was also delighted. "Thank you so much, Boss Lin. The roughest people in our village are most afraid of being cooks. In the past, when the projects were far away, my biggest headache was the food problem."
In order not to delay their work, they often carry their pots and pans with them when they go to projects. Sometimes, if they stay for a long time, they will ask their wives and husbands to help with cooking.
They were really surprised to meet a boss who provided meals.
Lin Mo waved his hand: "You two are too polite. I guess the time for this project is not long enough. I will provide lunch. You just need to work hard."
Lin Mo's idea was very simple, which was to make them work harder for him only when they were well fed and comfortable.
"Okay, Boss Lin is a straightforward person, and we don't have much to say. Once we survey the terrain and determine the layout, we'll start construction."
"That's right, Boss Lin, don't worry. We will definitely do the job well for you. You can buy us a meal, and we won't take more from you. We will definitely build you a beautiful house!"
"Boss Lin, please wait for us here. We'll go back and get the tools so we can go take measurements this afternoon."
The four of them prepared to get the tools. For them, as long as they were provided with a meal and received a lower wage, they would be happy.
"No problem, brothers, go first." Lin Mo smiled and saw everyone off.
