Chapter 329 Demolition Project
After Li Youcai left Huaxia Nonghang, he came to the reception building.
The smelly sewage truck was gone, and along with it, all the businesses on the same floor were gone. In the huge mobile building, only a credit union was left standing there all alone.
Wang Qiang called a few people from Teng County to serve as temporary security guards here.
As Li Youcai's business grew bigger and bigger, more and more people from the forest farm came to join Wang Qiang.
The age is no longer limited to those in their teens and twenties. Now even some people in their thirties come to Wang Qiang with things in hand in order to find a job.
Wang Qiang, who grew up eating at many people's houses, has now become a well-known figure in the forest farm.
The two brothers were chatting in the lobby on the first floor. Suddenly, they saw Li Youcai come in. They dropped the cigarette butts in their hands and stood at attention.
"Brother Cai..."
"It's okay, I just came by to check. Is Wang Qiang up there?" Li Youcai took out a cigarette and gave one to each of the two men.
The two took the cigarettes and laughed foolishly.
"Thank you, Brother Cai. Brother Qiang is upstairs."
"There's no one in the building. Be careful so no thieves get in."
"Yes, don't worry, Brother Cai, we will patrol every once in a while and make sure no one gets in."
After giving the two of them some instructions, Li Youcai went upstairs.
In the office, Wang Qiang was preparing for the start of the building renovation. He was holding a pencil and calculating over and over again, scratching his head.
Long Xu sat aside, looking at Wang Qiang scratching his head, and then asked: "Brother Qiang, what's the matter that makes you so entangled?"
"It's about the construction. The construction company assigned by the design institute gave me a quote. It says not only will they have to pay for construction, but they'll also have to pay for demolition. I'm trying to figure out how to bargain with them for a lower price."
"It's just right. You're smart. Come over and take a look. And give me some advice."
Wang Qiang put the quotation in his hand on the table and pushed it forward, motioning Longxu to come over and take a look.
Long Xu sat opposite Wang Qiang, picked up the quotation and started to read it.
"Brother Qiang, I don't quite understand this, but if we just take the dismantling of internal facilities as an example, I don't think there is any need to use them at all." Long Xu said.
"Tell me, how do we do this?" Wang Qiang asked hurriedly when he heard Long Xu say that.
"Let's find a building with central heating. Every room has heating pipes. We can also recycle and sell the doors and windows, the glass, hardware, and iron window frames."
"Instead of asking the construction company to collect our money and sell our stuff, I think we can just find someone to take over the job ourselves, give them all the iron and scrap in the building, and let them help us demolish it for free."
Long Xu had collected junk before, so he understood the value of these things best, and also understood the value of these seemingly junk things best.
After listening to Long Xu's words, Wang Qiang suddenly felt as if he had suddenly realized something.
"Yes, there are so many old irons and other things in the house, they can be sold for a lot of money. There is no use for us to keep them, so we can recycle them and save some money!" Wang Qiang said happily.
Li Youcai was in the corridor when he heard Wang Qiang talking.
"Where did you save some money again? Tell me about it so I can be happy too. I've been working myself to death trying to make money lately."
"Brother Cai! You're here."
"Brother Cai, please sit down."
Wang Qiang stood up and gave the more comfortable boss chair to Li Youcai.
"Brother Cai, this is the price quote the construction company gave us. Look at what's written on it. Everything costs money. I was thinking about whether we could negotiate the price. Any savings is a good thing."
"Long Xu just gave me an idea. We can hire a separate group of people to do the demolition work. We won't pay them, but just let them take away the scrap materials they shovel away. The money they sell will be used as their labor fee. This way, we don't have to pay the construction company extra money, and we can still get the work done."
"This is a good idea. Do you think anyone would do this job? Can they make money?" Li Youcai asked Xiang Longxu.
"Of course there are. Just the heating pipes and window frames, if you add them together, you can make a profit. In addition, there is glass. Even broken glass will be recycled by the factory, and the price is not bad. It's not certain if there are more of this kind of work, but 5,000 yuan is a sure thing."
Long Xu had been collecting junk for so long that he knew the recycling prices of these things very well. He roughly calculated it in his mind and quoted a price that he thought was relatively conservative.
Li Youcai nodded and said, "Okay, if it doesn't make money and no one else is willing to do this job, then we should find a contractor who can take it as soon as possible and get this done."
"Also, regarding the construction team, Qiangzi, you should contact the Second Construction Company and ask them to give you a quote. Even when buying a carrot, some people still compare prices from different companies. You can't just let the design institute decide."
"Understood. I'll contact the Second Construction Company this afternoon."
Wang Qiang responded, then hesitantly whispered, "Brother Cai, I'd like to find someone from the forest farm to do the demolition work. The farm hasn't been profitable in the past two years, and logging was stopped last year. Many people haven't received their full wages, so it's quite difficult."
"You decide on this matter. There are quite a few people from the forest farm who have come to join us. We brothers will be happy if we can help. There is only one thing, you must make sure everyone pays attention to safety. Construction work is not a trivial matter. It would be bad if something gets bumped or scratched." Li Youcai said.
Seeing that Li Youcai agreed, Wang Qiang also laughed.
He wanted to hand the work over to the people at the forest farm, which was in itself a selfish move. If it weren't for the fact that the situation at the forest farm was really not good and if it weren't for the fact that there happened to be such an opportunity, Wang Qiang would not have been too embarrassed to bring it up.
"Brother Cai, don't worry. The people in the forest farm have been cutting trees all year round. They have the utmost safety awareness. We will definitely be able to do it." Wang Qiang said hurriedly.
"Well, if you say it's okay, then it must be okay."
Long Xu looked at Li Youcai and said softly, "Brother Cai, all the merchants who should move have moved out. Now only the credit union is left. If we want to open the business, they will definitely be affected."
Li Youcai took out a cigarette box, gave a cigarette to Wang Qiang and Long Xu respectively, and then smoked one himself.
Li Youcai puffed out a puff of smoke and said slowly, "I've broken up with the credit union. So you don't have to indulge them anymore. Use your methods and deal with them as you see fit. If you want, call another manure truck tomorrow and block their door."
Talking broke?
Wang Qiang was stunned.
Then he asked quietly, "Brother Cai, what about the loan?"
"A loan is still a loan, it's just transferred to the bank. I came here today just for this matter. The situation seems to be good at the moment." Li Youcai explained.
Upon hearing this, Long Xu became a little worried.
After all, it is a credit union, not an ordinary unit. Messing with them is likely to lead to bad consequences.
"Brother Cai, that's a credit union, are you really going to do it?"
"Do it, and do it hard, just as a way to vent my anger. Don't worry, I have a plan in mind, don't be afraid." Li Youcai said with certainty.
"Okay, just watch me." Long Xu nodded.
