At that moment, Gu Jialiang called the master who had helped him pave the floor tiles, negotiated the price, and the master calculated the amount of tiles and sand and cement for them, and asked them to purchase them first, and when he was busy with the work in hand, he could come over in about a week or so, and it would be completed in three days.

The May Day holiday is idle, taking advantage of the business activities, Gu Jialiang drove Wang Jinshan to the wholesale market of decorative materials to buy tiles, this kind of thing Li Hui is not to ask, everything depends on Wang Jinshan, and then went home with his daughter and grandson to rest.

Wang Jinshan helped the school purchase tiles when he was working in the school's general affairs, and he still knows a little bit about the tiles, and he said that the bricks of Foshan are good, which is not false at all, not only the trimming is neat, the colors are varied, and the most important thing is that the water absorption rate is low, which is incomparable with the local bricks.

Weng and his son-in-law quickly chose the tiles they were satisfied with, paid the deposit, negotiated the freight, and waited for the boss who sold the tiles to arrange the delivery, and on the way back, Wang Jinshan whistled happily, which surprised Gu Jialiang.

"Dad, it seems that you are happy today! I haven't heard you whistle in all these years, haha!"

"Haha! People are in good spirits on happy occasions, this is a big event in our family!"

"By the way, I see that there are many sand and cement sellers at the entrance of Qinglongwan Community, let's just choose one of them, they are all packaged!"

Gu Jialiang has experience, every time a new community is handed over, these sand and cement sellers will flock to it, and red standing signs with phone numbers printed on them have sprung up at the entrance of the community, and the things and prices are similar, but from different small traders and vendors.

"Dad, I told you that it is different from before, in the past, you had to buy it in the building materials market by yourself, and then find someone to transport it back, but now it only takes a phone call to deliver it to your door, which is very convenient!"

"Is it? That's really convenient!" Wang Jinshan immediately arrived at the gate of the community, Wang Jinshan's eyes were very good, and he had already seen five or six signs erected outside the gate of the community, which was probably the one Gu Jialiang said was selling sand and cement.

The two of them parked the car, asked the two casually, the price was about the same, and when they were about to pay the deposit, they saw a commotion at the gate, and someone made a loud noise.

"Remove all the signs! No sand and cement are allowed to be sold here!" a security guard of about forty years old appeared at the door with five or six young security guards, and it seemed that this man was supposed to be the captain of the security guard.

"Why don't you let it be sold? It can be sold in other communities, can we sell it by paying a fee?" someone was negotiating with the security captain.

"These property companies just want to take the opportunity to charge some fees, I've seen a lot of this, don't worry!" said Wang Jinshan, a vendor selling cement and sand.

"And what about that?"

"That's for sure! Think about what kind of cement I send you, there will definitely be some leaks on the road, the corridor is also very dirty, sometimes the elevator will be dirty, the property company must work hard to clean up, and collect some money, this is the rule, we all understand!"

"Oh, that's right! Oh, that's not right! The property company also charged us a sanitation fee, and if we want to decorate, each family will have to pay an extra sanitation fee, and the bill is still on me!" Wang Jinshan took it out and looked at it, and the garbage removal fee was 120 yuan.

"Now this property company is really charging in both directions, tsk!" Gu Jialiang shook his head and sighed.

"It's not okay to pay the fee! Our community is a unified supply and does not accept foreign decoration materials!" the security captain exclaimed majestically.

"What? It's the first time we've heard of this! And the property company supplies it uniformly? It seems that this community is going to monopolize the decoration materials! Uncle, you can ask for more blessings!" The peddler shrunk his neck and went to discuss with the others.

"Jialiang, what do they mean?" Wang Jinshan was a little confused.

"Dad, the community property said that they supply it uniformly! Don't let us sell sand and cement outside!" Gu Jialiang understood.

"Oh, that's the property company's management is chaotic, you see that people's buildings are clean, these small merchants and hawkers don't care about the goods, they must be very dirty, if the property is unified to each family, it is bound to be better than doing it alone!

Wang Jinshan's thinking is still stuck in the past, and he thinks that unified management is a good thing.

"I don't think it's that simple!" Gu Jialiang thought thoughtfully.

As he was talking, he saw a few hawkers muttering and carrying signs, Wang Jinshan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Comrade, I want to lay floor tiles, so how is the sand and cement managed in a unified manner?"

"Oh, how much do you want to buy, come to the property office!" the security captain looked Wang Jinshan up and down, and said expressionlessly.

"I'm going to buy it too!" A few people next to him were originally watching, but seeing Wang Jinshan say this, they also went with them.

When they arrived at the property, there was a room next to the office that said Supply Office, and the security captain led Wang Jinshan to this office, where a fat-headed and big-eared man sat in front of the table, and a bewitching woman sat in front of the other desk, counting something with a calculator.

"Director Kong, they all want to buy sand and cement!" the security captain nodded and spoke to the fat man.

"How much do you buy?" Director Kong looked at Wang Jinshan with a smile.

"We calculated just now, we need about 150 bags of sand and 20 bags of cement!" Gu Jialiang had already asked the vendor to calculate the amount just now.

"Accountant Zhang, you can help them calculate how much money it is!" Director Kong turned his head and explained to the bewitching woman, then turned his head and said to Wang Jinshan: "Just hand over the money to Accountant Zhang! Report the building number and room number, and I will deliver the goods to you tomorrow!"

"Okay, Jialiang, you see how convenient this is!" Wang Jinshan walked towards the accountant happily.

"Uncle, it's 2200 in total!" Accountant Zhang grinned, his big red lips opened to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, Wang Jinshan was shocked, this woman is like a goblin, is she going to eat people?

"What, why is it so expensive!Is it a miscalculation?" Gu Jialiang and a person behind him called at the same time.

"That's right, 8 yuan a bag of sand and 50 yuan a bag of cement, you can do the math yourself!" the woman said coldly.

"That's twice as expensive as the outside! Just now the vendor outside said that a bag of sand costs 4 yuan and a bag of cement 26 yuan!"

"What quality are they, and what quality are we! This is not comparable at all!" Director Kong still didn't smile, "As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, you have to figure it out!"

"Dad, should we still buy it?"

"You don't have to buy it! Many elderly people don't decorate at all, and this house can be moved in directly!" Director Kong said.

"I bought all the floor tiles!Can I not install them!" Wang Jinshan was a little annoyed, but he felt that what Director Kong said was also reasonable, the quality of sand and cement is indeed different, although the price is not doubled, but if you don't buy the property, you can't buy the outside, how should the floor tiles be laid?

"Buy!" Wang Jinshan gritted his teeth, obedience to the overall situation has always been his principle, although the price does make him a little painful.

A few people in the back saw Wang Jinshan buy it, discussed it, and they all reluctantly paid the money, took the receipt, Wang Jinshan and Gu Jialiang walked out, "Dad, why do I think this is a pit!"

Gu Jialiang's words made Wang Jinshan unhappy, he snorted from his nose and did not speak.
