"Comrade Feng, the purchase contract has been filled out. You can start building the factory at any time. I'm wondering if you have the right person to build the factory?"
Ma Hongli, the son of the captain of Shili Village, asked in a somewhat flattering tone.
Feng Weidong raised his eyebrows. Although he knew what was going on, he pretended to be confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Well, my second uncle has been building houses for people since he was 20 years old. Now many people in the village follow his lead and build sturdy houses. If you need someone to build a house here, could you consider my second uncle? That way, they can live close by and don't have to travel far every day."
"Your second uncle and his team will build a building?"
"Building a building?" Ma Hongli looked at the team leader standing next to him, his father Ma Qingshan, in surprise.
"Yes, we need to build a three-story building for our factory and office."
Ma Qingshan pursed his lips and said, "Are you going to build a wall for the factory? If so, can we let them do it? The people in the village are having a hard time, and we hope Boss Feng can help."
"And electricity. The factory will definitely need electricity after it's built. The electrician in our village is in his forties and has been working as an electrician for most of his life. He's very skilled. Can you talk to the boss and give him the electrical work?"
Feng Weidong smiled and said, "Captain Ma, you know I work for someone else. We already have two teams of bricklayers. But I can ask my boss. If she agrees, I have no problem with that."
"Okay, okay, why don't you give them a call and ask? If the boss agrees, they won't have to go out looking for work for the next few days."
"My boss has been busy in the store these days. Don't worry, if the store loses power, I'll ask when I get home and call you tonight or tomorrow morning."
"Okay, Comrade Feng, thank you for your hard work. Just tell the boss that villagers want less wages, 70 or 80 cents a day per person will be fine. We are close by, and you don't have to worry about food."
Feng Weidong nodded, "Okay."
"Captain Ma, Comrade Ma Hongli, I'm going back now. We'll meet again another day." Feng Weidong stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Does our team have anyone willing to keep watch at night? They're between forty and fifty years old. After the bricks and tiles and other materials are brought in, we'll start by building a bungalow. We need a responsible person to watch over the materials, one brick a day. If qualified, they can stay at the factory as a doorman."
When Captain Ma heard this, his father flashed through his mind. "Comrade Feng, I wonder if sixty-something is okay? You've seen my father, he's sixty-two. He's strong, has good eyesight, and nimble legs. He was a soldier, but he was shot while on a mission. He has a slight limp, but he can run very fast and has no problem going up and down mountains."
Feng Weidong pretended to think for a moment, then smiled and nodded in response to Captain Ma's expectant gaze. "Okay, I've met Comrade Ma before, and I trust him."
The original intention of raising this question was to make Captain Ma owe him a favor. Moreover, he had met Captain Ma's father and learned about his situation as a veteran from Ma Hongli.
With the captain's father as the doorman, things are basically safe.
