Early the next morning,

Qin Xu was woken up by the somewhat hurried ringtone of his mobile phone.

I picked up my phone in a daze, and picked it up without looking at it, and said in a lazy voice:

"Hello, this is Qin. ”

"Boss, I'm John, there's a construction company on the ranch, saying it's here to build a dock?"

John on the other end of the phone looked at a few people around him, and was very puzzled, wasn't the boss the Ivan building he had been looking for? Why did he change people this time? Could it be that they did something wrong? No, it seems that I have to go back to supervise it.

"Oh, you let them come directly to the villa, I'll wait for them at the villa. ”

Hearing that it was the construction team coming, Qin Xu sobered up a little, quickly got up with a yawn, and went into the bathroom to wash up for a while, and then changed his clothes and went downstairs.

The construction team that came today was recommended by Douglas, and their projects were basically contracted to them.

As for why I didn't look for Entes, I'm sorry, people can't be busy.

The main reason is that the time requested by Qin Xu is a bit urgent, and besides, they really can't build this kind of wharf.

That's right, repairing the wharf, the only meaningful thing Qin Xu has done in the past few days is to find a company and prepare to build the wharf.

Downstairs, John was already waiting in the living room with two men and a woman.

Seeing Qin Xu coming down, John stood up first. Introduced:

"Boss, these are the people from Doug Industries. ”

As he spoke, he introduced Qin Xu's identity to those people.

Nodding at a few people, Qin Xu smiled bitterly in his heart, Okay, no wonder this guy Douglas recommended it so much, it turned out to be his own family.

"Hello, Mr. Qin, I'm Stanley from Doug Construction, this is Simmons, our company's chief designer, and his assistant, Miss Sammy. ”

After hearing John's introduction, a middle-aged white man in the lead quickly stood up and introduced himself, and at the same time, he did not forget to introduce his companions.

After shaking hands with a few people again, Qin Xu motioned for the other party to sit down, and then asked with a smile:

"Did you bring any blueprints, did Douglas tell you what I wanted?"

"Mr. Qin, please rest assured, the blueprints have been brought, and Mr. Simmons is the best designer of our Doug Architecture, and he is also a well-known designer in the whole United States. ”

Seeing the distrust in Qin Xu's eyes, Stanley patted his chest and assured Qin Xu, and at the same time, asked:

"I don't know what kind of wharf Mr. Qin plans to build, and what kind of boat will it be used to park it?"

"Well, what kind of piers are there for fishing boats?"

Qin Xu didn't have the habit of pretending to understand at all, and he directly answered the question if he didn't understand.

"That's right, Mr. Qin, if you build a wharf, you have three options.

One is the gravity dock. The weight of the filler depends on the weight of the building and the structural range to maintain stability, the structure is integral, strong and durable, easy to repair after damage, there are integral masonry and prefabricated type, suitable for better foundations.

The advantage of this type of dock is that it is durable and easy to repair if damaged, but it is also relatively expensive to build. ”

After speaking, he looked at Qin Xu and nodded slightly, so he continued:

"The other is the high pile pier. It consists of a foundation pile and a superstructure, the lower part of the pile is driven into the soil and the upper part is high

The upper structure of the wharf outlet has beam plate type, beamless large plate type, frame type and bearing platform type.

The high pile wharf is a permeable structure, and the waves and water currents can pass below the level of the wharf, which does not reflect the waves, does not affect the flood discharge, and can reduce siltation, which is suitable for soft soil foundations.

In recent years, long piles and long-span structures have been widely used, and large prestressed concrete columns or steel pipe columns have been gradually used to replace piles with smaller sections to form pipe string wharves.

The advantage of this kind of dock is that the cost is relatively cheap, but the durability is not as good as that of gravity docks, and it is troublesome to repair after all. ”

"What about the other one?"

Seeing that Stanley didn't say anything more after saying two things, Qin Xu asked with some curiosity.

"There is also a sheet pile terminal, which consists of a sheet pile wall and anchorage facilities, with the help of which the sheet piles and anchor blocks are subjected to the lateral pressure generated by the ground use load and the fill behind the wall.

The advantage of this type of wharf is that it is simple in structure, fast in construction, and can be used except for particularly hard or too weak foundations.

But his shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the overall structure and durability are poor. ”

As he spoke, Stanley shook his head slightly, obviously, he didn't recommend this kind of dock. When he introduced, it was just a professional habit, and he could introduce others like this, but the boss's friend, he thought it was better to tell the truth.

Hearing Stanley's introduction, Qin Xu thought about it, for a long time, he basically didn't think about the sheet pile wharf, since it was repaired, it must be better to build.

The only hesitation now is whether to use a high-pile pier or a gravity pier.

It stands to reason that according to Stanley's introduction, combined with the current situation, the first choice must be the high-pile terminal.

And Stanley introduced the most is also the high pile wharf. Obviously, he also thinks that what is suitable for Qin Xu at the moment is the high-pile wharf.

Because in his opinion, it is just a fishing ground, and it is really a waste to build a gravity wharf.

However, Qin Xu's idea was different from his, and in his imagination, the development of the fishery would definitely be a blowout.

So, in Stanley's surprised face, Qin Xu smiled and said:

"Just build a gravity one, and you get me a blueprint and a budget. ”

"Okay, okay, but we're going to go on a field trip first. ”

After stammering yes, Stanley took the designer and his little assistant and followed John to survey the terrain.

"Qin Xu, are you going to repair the dock?

After a few people went out, Xu Mengyao, who was teasing Du Du on the other side, said to Qin Xu with some concern.

She has been here for so long, and she hasn't seen Qin Xu make money, but she really spends a lot of money.

It's grass seeds, it's sprinkler irrigation system, and now it's a whole wharf, and it's only been a few days, and tens of millions of dollars have been spent like this, and if it were converted into RMB, it would be more than 100 million! It's not such a way to spend money.

"Haha, don't worry, if I can't recover the cost, I still have to open a ranch, it's better to do nothing, sit back and wait for death."

smiled and gently scraped on Xu Mengyao's delicate little nose, and when she was about to break out, she changed the topic and said:

"Meng Yao, do you know how much I earned when I went to sea the day before yesterday?"

"Uh, how much?"

Sure enough, just as Qin Xu guessed, Xu Mengyao's attention was immediately diverted.
