As the ceremony progressed, Xie Changan and Shi Mashan both made speeches at the ceremony, in which Xie Changan praised Tan Wenlin, saying that he was a benchmark model for contemporary entrepreneurial youth, and he was extremely valued in his words.

Although Shimashan didn't say much, the meaning of praise was also overflowing.

District Chief Shen next to him was shocked when he saw that the two superiors valued Tan Wenlin so much, and he remorsefully slapped himself, what a good opportunity, if he had promised Tan Wenlin to come at the beginning, and then let him match himself in front of the two big shots, his official career would be much smoother in the future.

It's good that I'm like a transparent person here.

In fact, District Chief Shen also knew that Tan Wenlin had some relationship with Xie Changan and Shimashan, and he also knew that the two of them had Tan Wenlin out, but he thought that it was Tan Wenlin's relationship, not really had anything directly related to Xie Chang'an Shimashan.

Today, it seems that he is very wrong, Shi Mashan does not say it, it is Xie Changan's attitude towards Tan Wenlin, that is definitely to treat him as his own family.

"In the future, I must have a good relationship with Tan Wenlin." District Chief Shen said secretly in his heart.

For a while, after the groundbreaking ceremony, Tan Wenlin prepared a meal at the top restaurant in the provincial capital and invited Xie Changan and Shimashan to go, and both agreed.

Before leaving, Tan Wenlin saw District Chief Shen looking at him with blank eyes, and he also wanted to go.

Tan Wenlin smiled slightly, he had no good feelings or bad feelings towards District Chief Shen, this is a typical official, and intersecting with others is also based on the premise of interests.

"If District Chief Shen is okay, let's go together."

"It's okay, I'm fine." As soon as District Chief Shen heard Tan Wenlin's invitation to him, he suddenly smiled like a flower, and he could have dinner with Xie Chang'an Shimashan, it was definitely the best opportunity to tie up, how could he have this opportunity in normal times.

District Chief Shen got into Tan Wenlin's car and headed for the hotel.

After eating, Tan Wenlin returned to the small building on the construction site, and found that there were more than a dozen people sitting or standing under the small building.

Tan Wenlin took the business cards handed over by these people and found that they were either steel salesmen, cement or other salesmen, in a word, they were here to sell products to Tan Wenlin.

This time, Tan Wenlin's building has 20 floors of office buildings, with a total area of about 20,000 square meters, and before the foundation stone was laid, they had already entered a piece of steel and cement and other building materials, but it was far from enough to be completed.

The 2,000-year-old building materials were not as popular as they were later, after all, real estate had not yet shown rocket development.

Tan Wenlin read the business card and said that he would contact them if necessary, and send these salesmen away, and he briefly discussed the future work distribution arrangements with Tan Hao and others.

Tan Wenlin is mainly concerned with the purchase of building materials, while Tan Hao is responsible for the quality and safety of the project, after all, the latter has been engaged in this industry for many years and has a lot of experience in this.

In the end, Tan Wenlin explained his daily work recently, and then went downstairs to prepare to go to the construction site, and after leaving the building, he saw an old man in the distance looking at this side from time to time, looking like he wanted to come over and hesitated.

Just now, when the salesmen came to peddle business, Tan Wenlin noticed this old man, who was smoking a cigarette followed by a cigarette in the distance.

"This old man seems to have something." Tan Wenlin paused slightly and looked at the old man in the distance.

Perhaps it was Tan Wenlin's action to encourage, the old man hesitated, threw away the cigarette in his hand suddenly, and walked over.

"You...... Hello, are you the boss of this construction site Tan? After the old man came over, he smiled shyly at Tan Wenlin.

Tan Wenlin saw that the old man was wearing a white shirt that was a little yellow, black pants underneath, and a pair of mille-feuille cloth shoes on the soles of his feet, and he was about sixty years old.

"Yes, I'm Tan Wenlin, the owner of this construction site, who are you?" Tan Wenlin didn't know what this old man was looking for him? Looking for a job? Not quite like that.

The old man didn't show an expression of surprise when he heard Tan Wenlin report out of the house, as if he already knew that the other party was the boss here.

"That's right." The old man took out a crumpled cigarette case from his pocket, then took out one and handed it to Tan Wenlin.

Tan Wenlin saw that it was more than 40 packs of Chinese cigarettes.

"I don't smoke." Tan Wenlin waved his hand, and then motioned to the other party to say things directly.

"I have a batch of square strips, Boss Tan, you actually want to build an office building, this wooden strip must be needed, I don't know ...... Boss Tan?" Seeing that Tan Wenlin didn't smoke, the old man put away the cigarette, and then rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly.

"Do you have a square?" You must know that whether it is construction or future decoration, you need to be square, Tan Wenlin is recently contacting the wood negotiation, but the price has not been finalized.

"yes."

"What price?"

The old man quoted a price.

Tan Wenlin looked at the old man, this price is not high, but low, it can be said that it is quite low, such a low price will not be bought in the provincial capital.

"The quality of the squares we want has to be passed." Tan Wenlin guessed that the old man's square strips might not be of good quality, otherwise they wouldn't be so cheap.

"The quality must pass, Boss Tan, if you have time, you can go with me to have a look." As the old man spoke, he looked at Tan Wenlin with blank eyes.

"Okay, I'll take a look, where is your square?"

As soon as the old man heard that Tan Wenlin promised to go and have a look, he immediately said happily: "At the South Railway Station, I'll take you there." ”

"At the South Railway Station?" Tan Wenlin knows that there are several timber markets in the provincial capital, but there seems to be no timber market at the South Railway Station.

After thinking about it, he finally decided to go, he shouted to Xiao Ming and Xiao Xia in the house, and the two came out.

"You're going with me to the South Railway Station?" With that, he asked the old man to get on the train and went straight to the train station.

In the car, the old man introduced himself.

It turned out that the old man's name was Zhou Shan, a native of another province, and he and his son Zhou Wu had been selling timber to a local timber merchant in the provincial capital.

There had been no problem before, but when the timber arrived, it was discovered that the local timber merchant was missing, and the site was rented to someone else.

This next week, the father and son of Zhou Shan were suddenly anxious, the timber had already been shipped, and they couldn't be transported back, so the cost would be too high.

Therefore, as soon as the father and son discussed, they wanted to sell to other timber merchants, but as soon as those timber merchants saw that there was a bargain, they all lowered the price.

Zhou Shan's father and son settled the accounts, if they sold to these timber merchants, not only would they not be able to make money, but they would also lose money, their family was in the countryside, the conditions were very poor, and they could not afford the lost money at all.

So Zhou Shan came to the city to directly look for real estate developers who started construction to see if they could sell them, but when they found a few, when they heard about it, they either didn't want to, or they were the same as those timber merchants, and they reduced prices aggressively.

As a last resort, Zhou Shan came to Tan Wenlin's construction site to try his luck. (To be continued.) )
