Chu Tian thought for a moment and then spoke again, "By the way, Brother Wang Qiang, when you go back, please ask them if they are willing to follow me."
Wang Qiang didn't understand what Chu Tian meant. "Ah? What do you mean? Why am I following you now?"
Chu Tian looked at him and explained, "What I mean is, I want to open a construction company in the future. They will work in my construction team in the future, and will no longer go to the city's construction team to work. In the future, they will follow me, and I will take on the work and pay you."
Wang Qiang hesitated, "Can a private individual start a company???"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "How do you know it can't be opened if you haven't tried it? Besides, just because it can't be opened this year doesn't mean it can't be opened next year!"
Chu Tian stood up and picked up the thermos on the table and poured another glass of water into the teacup in front of Wang Qiang. "Anyway, if you are willing to follow me, I will sign a formal contract with you next year when the company is established. The official salary will be different from now."
"Master chefs who work with me have a guaranteed monthly salary of 45 yuan, and apprentices have a guaranteed monthly salary of 30 yuan. Three meals a day are provided during the work period, and holiday benefits are calculated separately. Of course, the salary will not remain unchanged. I will increase it every year, and I will also give bonuses to the best performers at the end of each year."
"However, those who have signed the contract cannot take jobs outside privately..."
"Of course, it doesn't matter to those who don't sign a contract with me. They can take on other jobs or continue to work with me. The salary will just be lower. The master and apprentice will still be paid the same daily salary as they do now."
Chu Tian looked down at Wang Qiang's shocked expression and continued with a smile, "Of course, this is not forced. It's all voluntary."
"Brother Wang Qiang, this also includes you, my sister-in-law, and my nephew. If you are willing, you can still be the foreman and help me manage all the workers and the kitchen..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Qiang said bluntly, "Our family of three are all willing. We are willing to follow you."
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Brother Wang Qiang, I promise that when you think back on your decision today, you will feel that it was the right one, and I won't let you down."
Wang Qiang smiled and nodded, "Well, I believe you."
Chu Tian didn't care about what happened next. He felt relieved with Wang Qiang acting as a lobbyist behind the scenes.
In fact, Chu Tian had never thought about opening a construction company at the beginning. He just wanted to be a landlord and collect rent every day. However, because he was building a building, many people saw him and came to Chu Tian, asking him if he could give them the blueprints and introduce workers to them after his building was completed.
Chu Tian suddenly remembered that people's lives had gradually improved after the reform and opening up, and most of them had spare money and wanted to build houses. To build a house, they had to buy materials and find workers everywhere. Many people were cheated of a lot of money because they were not familiar with it, and it also delayed a lot of time.
But I am different now, because I bought a large amount of materials and I am very familiar with the brick factory, cement factory, steel factory and the managers there. If I sign a long-term purchase contract with them later, I will definitely be able to get the lowest price, so...
In short, if Chu Tian doesn't open a construction company to make money, it would be a shame for him to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to purchase construction materials...
Of course, he couldn't do it alone. Not only would he have to invest a lot of money in the early stages, it would also be too tiring. He wanted to find two partners, but he still had to think carefully about who would be the right one...
I don’t know what Wang Qiang said to the workers, but the next time he went to the city, everyone said they wanted to work with him, no matter whether he opened a construction company or not. He told everyone that as long as he had meat to eat, he would definitely give them soup and would not treat them unfairly.
"Master, are you going to open a construction company next year?"
That day, right after the meeting, Zuo Zhuang pulled Chu Tian to a deserted place to ask him questions.
Chu Tian was stunned. "How do you know?"
Zuo Zhuang waved his hand. "Don't worry about how I know. Just tell me whether it is true or not."
Chu Tian nodded, "Yes."
Zuo Zhuang was delighted and continued to ask, "Master, are you looking for a partner?"
"Yes, what? Do you have any ideas?"
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows and looked Zuo Zhuang up and down, thinking that Zuo Zhuang was not bad. His father had been transferred to the division as early as last year, and his official rank was far superior to that of the previous regimental secretary. With his father around, it was one thing for him not to be attacked by others, and he might even be able to get work in the corps in the future...
Zuo Zhuang asked repeatedly, "Well, well, Master, do you think I can do this?"
Chu Tian curled his lips, "Of course I can, but do you know what the most important requirement I have for finding a partner is?"
Zuo Zhuang waved his hands generously, "Hey, I know, you just have to invest money! I've saved a lot of money over the years, I can invest it all!"
Chu Tian looked at Zuo Zhuang with a smile, "How much can you invest?"
Zuo Zhuang thought for a moment and said, "I've saved about 80,000 yuan in all these years, right?"
Chu Tian looked at Zuo Zhuang in surprise, "What did you buy? You have saved quite a bit."
Thanks to Chu Min's help in selling goods, he has saved more than 80,000 yuan in the past few years. Zuo Zhuang can make so much money on his own, so he is also a talent.
Zuo Zhuang smiled and waved his hands, "No, no, I didn't make that much money reselling supplies in the transport team. A large part of it was obtained from local sources."
Chu Tian understood, it was just a side job! He understood!
"I don't know if 80,000 is enough right now, but I promise you that if I'm ready to go it alone next year, I'll be the first to let you know."
"Anyway, while there are still a few months left, it's best to make as much money as possible!"
Chu Tian felt that if it depended solely on connections, it would be a very wise choice to get Zuo Zhuang to join the partnership, even if he didn't invest much!
Zuo Zhuang stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, then I'll try to double my savings before you go out on your own, Master."
"good·····"
In fact, it's not just Zuo Zhuang, but also Chu Tian and Chu Min. They seem to have a tacit understanding over the past six months. Whenever they go to southern and northern Xinjiang, they bring a lot of supplies they need with them, exchange supplies with local herdsmen, and frantically buy up local cheap supplies and bring them back to Urumqi for resale.
In the following days, whenever Chu Tian was not driving his car, he would go to the city every day to check on the progress and also visit the glass factory and furniture factory.
Now that he has built a building and installed water and electricity at great expense, he will definitely not continue to paper the windows but use glass windows instead, and the doors must also be made of good wood.
He wants to do it all at once, and at least he doesn't plan to rebuild it in the next 20 years...
In short, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
By mid-November of 1979, when the first snow fell in Urumqi, Chu Tian, Chu Min and Zuo Zhuang's supplies had more than doubled.
