The Great Era of Siheyuan

"I heard from Chief Wang of the Security Department this morning that you were going to go to the countryside with Xu Damao. You said you have so many things to do every day, why did you suddenly want to go to the countryside?"

In the deputy factory director's office, Li Huaide placed a cup of tea in front of Li Wenqiang and asked curiously.

"Go out for a walk if you have nothing to do. It's boring to stay here all the time! Oh, by the way, how do you feel about the new toilet that was built a few days ago? I wanted to clean it up for you last time, but your wife said it would take too long, so I had to do it simply for you!"

Li Wenqiang picked up the cup and took a sip of water. The taste was slightly bitter with a hint of sweetness. It was hard to tell whether it was good or bad.

"Very good, clean and beautiful without any odor. The toilet is so clean that I can't bear to use it!"

Li Huaide praised him highly.

"I'm glad you like it. I was afraid you might not like it! In that case, you see, May Day is coming next month, and so many leaders are coming. Shouldn't we entertain them with the best service and environment?"

I think it would be a good idea to build a new toilet. In addition to providing a good experience for the superiors, it would also allow the leaders of our steel mill to serve the people in a better state while solving physiological problems. Don’t you agree?”

Li Wenqiang looked at him with a smile.

"Your suggestion is very good, but what is the specific price? If it is too expensive, it will be difficult for me to do it!"

Li Huaide said with some embarrassment while sitting in the chair.

Recently, we have been spending several thousand yuan a day to buy goods from him, and some leaders in the factory have already complained. However, everyone is short of food now, and many leaders are keeping silent. When the situation gets better in the future, I guess many people will use this matter to make trouble for him, such as the one next door.

"The price is not expensive. I plan to build a modern public toilet of about 100 square meters. The budget is about 18,888. I hope it will bring good luck!"

Li Wenqiang looked at him with a smile.

Li Huaide was terrified and his eyebrows jumped. More than 18,000 yuan, enough to build so many houses, and he dared to ask for it.

Li Huaide refused without thinking.

"No need to talk about this. With a budget of 18,000 yuan, how can I approve you to do it? Forget about it. Just sell the goods honestly! Your price is too high. I can't do it. This is the payment for the goods yesterday. Now the transaction amount between us is getting bigger and bigger. It's a bit inconvenient to settle the bill with me. How about I let Wang Jianjun pay you the payment in the future?"

Li Huaide pulled out a small cloth bag from the side, which was filled with stacks of banknotes, and it looked like it was almost half a bag.

"I'll take the money, but I reject your proposal. Although he knows that we have a deal, who knows what he will think after taking the money? We can still trade face to face in the future, but you can go to another place. Also, can you consider my proposal just now? Industry needs a revolution, and toilets also need a revolution! If the price is too high, you can bargain first, what if I agree?"

Li Wenqiang did not give up and continued to lobby. This May 1st work-level assessment might be an opportunity for him to let more people see his stuff.

However, one thing to note is that his current size is too small, and he does not have his own factory or patents, so it is easy for others to reap the benefits. After all, this is not a difficult thing, which makes him a little worried.

"Don't even think about 18,000. Unless I get kicked in the head by a donkey, I won't agree to it. Just forget about it! If it's 8,800, I can consider it."

Li Huaide said speechlessly.

"Okay, let's just make friends. 8,888, I'll give you a discount of 10,000. Come on, sign the contract!"

Li Wenqiang took out a paper contract from the back, which stated that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill had commissioned Red Star First Construction to build a public service facility at a price of 8,888. Below was the time and date, and the details were very simple or even nonexistent.

Li Huaide glanced at him, and thinking about how he had made so much money from him, he felt embarrassed to refuse.

"Forget it, I've invested in this project, and I won't do it again! Your price is enough for me to buy dozens of houses. I feel like I was kicked in the head by a donkey for signing this contract."

Li Huaide complained, but still signed.

"I've signed the contract, but you can't tell anyone about this. If people find out, it won't be good for us."

Li Huaide reminded him, then signed and stamped the contract and gave him a copy, while keeping another copy for himself.

Li Wenqiang took it and smiled.

"It's a pleasure to work with you! Don't worry, you will definitely feel that the money is worth it! Oh, by the way, I think the steel mill building is quite old. Do you want to renovate it? Or even tear it down and rebuild it!"

After putting away the contract, Li Wenqiang asked again with a smile.

Li Huaide's face turned black and he was speechless.

"Do you think I'll need it? If you stay any longer, I'll tear down my office building and let you build one! Go away now, and stop thinking about it."

Li Wenqiang was a little dissatisfied when he was driven out of the office. He was just suggesting that he lay floor tiles for the steel mill. He was afraid that he would rip him off.

"Tsk, you're so timid, you won't be able to do much business."

He subconsciously mocked Li Huaide and then left the steel mill.

"Where's Manager Zhu? Did he come today?"

Walking into the courtyard, Li Wenqiang casually asked the person in charge inside.

Hello, boss! Manager Zhu is here tonight to install the factory. Today, Manager Zhu came and took two people with him. He said he was going to the nearby countryside to find someone to build a factory. He has been gone for more than two hours. "

Zhang Hao replied respectfully.

After hearing his words, Li Wenqiang could only complain.

"Manager Zhu is such a jerk. Why did he leave at this time instead of earlier? Forget it. It looks like I can only hand over this project to you temporarily!"

Li Wenqiang thought about it and said to him.

"Call everyone here! I want to tell you something."

"Yes, Boss! Gather, everyone, come and gather first!"

Following the sound of footsteps, twenty people began to gather quickly.

Seeing that everyone was present, Li Wenqiang didn't intend to waste everyone's time by standing here stupidly.

"Today I received a project from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill in Dongzhimen Industrial Zone, a modern public toilet of 100 square meters. This is the first job for our Red Star First Construction Company. Everyone must strictly abide by the rules and regulations and complete the task conscientiously.

Zhang Hao is in charge of this project. I have written down the specific requirements on the drawings. Please read the drawings carefully before you start construction. The foundation must be built today! Okay, follow me now!"

After Li Wenqiang finished speaking, he handed the blueprint to him and gathered everyone to go to the steel rolling mill.
