"Mr. Zhou, I was introduced by Township Chief Liu, and he said that your company is going to build roads, is there such a thing?"

"Oh----, introduced by Township Chief Liu, hello! What do you call it? ”

"Just call me Xiaolin."

"Kobayashi, Technician Lin. That's right, we're going to build roads. ”

"Mr. Zhou, I am an assistant engineer of Huarong Construction Engineering Company in Huaxing City."

"Oh, that's going to call you a forester. Where do you live? Zhou Jianping asked.

Xiao Lin also lives in the city, but it is far away from Jiansheng Food Company, "Mr. Zhou, what is the current situation of the road you want to repair?" ”

"I can't say anything about the situation in this regard, if you can find our place, please come to the company, there are many things that need to be interviewed."

"No problem, I can find you."

More than an hour later, a young man in his early thirties appeared at the door of Zhou Jianping's office, "Is this Mr. Zhou's office?" ”

"You're ----, forester, aren't you? You please come in. Zhou Jianping stood up to greet him.

Sitting down next to the coffee table, Zhou Jianping first introduced the basic situation of road construction to the forest workers, "Forest workers, your remuneration is calculated on a daily basis, how much money per day, according to the standards stipulated by the construction industry, but the actual remuneration we give you is definitely higher than the industry standard, please rest assured." Next, please estimate how much cement and sand will be needed according to the grade of medium-sized trucks if the cement road is built, as well as some other auxiliary materials. ”

"Mr. Zhou, I have to go through the on-site investigation before I can make an estimate of various materials. Who do you want to take me to the scene? ”

"I'll take you there, and we can check it out now." Zhou Jianping said that he was about to stand up and walk outside.

"You----? You don't need Mr. Zhou to go in person, you can just find someone to take me. Xiao Lin thought to himself, such a big Mr. Zhou, this is incredible.

"Let's go, others don't know the situation at the scene, only I know best, I'll show you the way."

The driver pulled Zhou Jianping and Xiaolin out of the city, and after a while, he arrived at the section of the rural road leading to Yuanba Village of the Xishan Township Government, and walked less than a thousand meters forward, which was really bumpy, Xiaolin asked the driver to stop the car, he got out of the car and carefully checked the old roadbed and road conditions, and asked: "Mr. Zhou, go further, how is the road condition?" ”

"It's pretty much the same, it's pretty much the same."

"Then there is no need to go from beginning to end, I have a number in my heart, Mr. Zhou, let's go back, I will report the estimated materials to you tomorrow morning." Kobayashi Road.

"Forestry worker, in addition to the material estimation details, please also put forward the employment situation and the construction machinery and tools needed, so that I can prepare for the construction."

"Okay, I'll give you all the details tomorrow morning."

After getting the details provided by Xiaolin, Zhou Jianping read it again, and everything else is easy to implement, only the road repair labor is this one, where can I find a dozen or so laborers with road repair experience? The villagers of Yuanba Village have never built roads, and they are all busy in the vegetable fields, and they cannot delay the field management of their own vegetable seedlings if they are given how much money a day.

Kobayashi suggested that Zhou Jianping go to the labor market in the city to find people, where there are many short-term workers, handymen, everything.

The driver, Master Sun, used to drive a taxi, and was very familiar with the streets and alleys of Huaxing City, he didn't say a word, and took Zhou Jianping to the largest labor market in Huaxing City, where hundreds of people gathered, including masons, decorators, laborers, handymen, carpenters, etc., all kinds of work, very complete.

Seeing Zhou Jianping get out of the car, he hadn't walked ten steps forward, and dozens of people came over in an uproar, "What kind of work do you need?" Everyone asked in unison.

"I'm going to build a concrete road, have you built a road before?" Zhou Jianping asked.

"Build roads? I haven't done it before, so you can go over there and ask. "These dozens of people are like deflated balls, and they all get out of the way.

Zhou Jianping walked forward thirty or forty meters, and a group of people came around, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he said first: "Is there anyone who knows how to build roads?" ”

"Build roads? What roads to build? A middle-aged man with a sturdy figure and dark skin in the crowd asked.

"I'm going to build a concrete road, have you done it?" Zhou Jianping said.

"I worked as a temporary worker for three years at the city road construction company."

"What exactly do you do at the road construction company?"

"What else can a person like me do besides build roads?"

"Okay, you're one." Zhou Jianping said.

"How many people do you need?"

"A dozen."

"If you want to find all of them like me, it is estimated that there will be no ten people in the entire labor market." The middle-aged man reminded.

"The problem is that you alone can't repair this road!"

"According to my experience, there is no high technical content in building cement roads, as long as there are one or two who understand, and other people work according to the requirements, just use these laborers in the labor market, and there is no need for everyone to be an expert." The middle-aged man suggested.

This reminded Zhou Jianping, yes, it is enough to use a knowledgeable person with a dozen or so laborers, plus the technical guidance of the forestry workers, and the temporary construction team of the road will be put together. "Are there any requirements for the mechanics? Is there any force in this that you are familiar with? Zhou Jianping asked the middle-aged man opposite.

"As long as you don't lack your heart, follow the command, and have the strength, there are no other requirements. There must be someone I know in this labor market, so you should find it yourself. "The middle-aged man looks very realistic.

"I still have a lot of things to do, I don't have time to wander around the labor market, you are familiar here, help me select a dozen or so laborers, the personnel are ready, you contact me again, this is my contact information. The sooner the better. Zhou Jianping handed the other party a business card.

Back at the company, Zhou Jianping immediately contacted Township Chief Liu, and the phone called, and the person who answered the phone said that Township Chief Liu was in a meeting. Half an hour later, Zhou Jianping dialed the phone number of Township Chief Liu's office again, "Hello Township Chief Liu!" I'm Zhou Jianping from Jiansheng Food Company. ”

"Mr. Zhou, did that Xiaolin find you? How's the road going to be built? ”

"Thank you Township Chief Liu for your concern! The forester has already met with me, and the substantive work of building the road has begun. Township Chief Liu, I would like to ask you to help us borrow or lease some construction machinery, if you are in the office, I will go over and report to you. Zhou Jianping said.

"I'm going to the county for a meeting in a while, and I'll be back the day after tomorrow, if not, you can fax me the list of equipment that needs to be rented or borrowed."

After receiving the fax, Township Chief Liu first called Manager Gao of Xishan Township Construction Engineering Company, and then forwarded Zhou Jianping's fax to the past, and then called and advised: "Manager Gao, these equipment can be borrowed as much as possible, the value is relatively high, there is really no way, so we use the way of leasing, because this friend has made a great contribution to our Xishan Township, and the township should be grateful to others." ”

Subsequently, Township Chief Liu told Zhou Jianping that when he needed construction equipment, he could directly find the senior manager of Xishan Township Construction Company, saying that he had already said hello to the other party.

"Township Chief Liu, when you come back from the county meeting, I invite you to meet with the senior manager of the construction company, and we will meet in Huaxing City. I have agreed in advance, please don't shirk. Zhou Jianping said.

"Okay, I'll get in touch when I get back from the county."

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Jianping received a call from the middle-aged man in the labor market, "Hello Mr. Zhou! We met in the labor market in the morning, and you asked me to help you find a hard job, remember? ”

"Remember, what's going on, have you found all the people?"

"I've found it, count me in, a total of ten people, right?"

"Yes, there are ten of them. You tell them that our construction site is next to the Xishan Township Government. Zhou Jianping said.

"It doesn't matter, the key is that we have to settle some matters first?"

"Some things----? Oh yes, there are some things that should be clarified first. "Zhou Jianping then remembered that when he met in the morning, he only cared about talking, and didn't promise anything to others." If you can find our company, you can come here right now and we'll settle the matter. ”

"It should be possible to find it, first take the No. 7 bus, and then take the No. 2 bus, and you can get to your unit, right?"

"That's right, I was waiting for you in the office, and when I got to the door of the company, you told the doorman that you were the guest I invited. By the way, what should I call you? ”

"My surname is Jiang, and outsiders generally call me Lao Jiang."

"Okay, Master Jiang, you hurry up and come here."

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Jiang arrived at Zhou Jianping's office, "Master Jiang, please take a seat, we are going to build a rural road," Zhou Jianping told him about the general situation of the project.

"Mr. Zhou, it's no problem for me to lead the work, but road repair also requires certain skills, such as levelness, thickness, slope, cement amount, marking basis, foundation thickness, how to lay the foundation, etc., these are all technical problems, I don't understand!"

"You don't have to worry about that, I hired a technician from a construction company who would come to the site on a regular basis. Master Jiang, you just have to take these people to work. ”

When negotiating labor remuneration, although Zhou Jianping had already asked people to inquire about the labor prices of various types of work in the labor market, he still asked Lao Jiang to quote by himself. Zhou Jianping saw that the price reported by Lao Jiang was slightly lower than that of the labor market, perhaps considering that this was not a job that could be completed in three or five days, the average daily labor price would naturally be slightly lower, and this Lao Jiang was really an honest man.

"Mr. Zhou, in addition to me, among the remaining nine people, six are laborers, one is a miscellaneous worker, and the other two are masons, and during the construction process, the smoothing of the road surface requires a mason. The price of labor is different for each type of work, with masons having the highest, labourers lower, and handymen having the lowest wages. "Old Jiang Dao.

"As the leader of the team, Master Jiang, your salary is the highest, the mason is second, the laborer is the second, and the handyman is the lowest, right?"

Lao Jiang nodded.

"Then what do you think of me adding 10 percent to each person on the basis of your offer?"

"Of course it's great! Mr. Zhou, the price you gave is almost the same as the price of odd jobs in the labor market, to be honest, as a multi-month construction period, you are a bit of a loss. "Lao Jiang is very realistic.

"It doesn't matter if you take advantage of the loss, people who do short-term jobs in the labor market come out to make money, not to kill time, and they definitely want the daily wage to be higher. In addition, I will give you a certain amount of living expenses every day, and then provide a set of kitchen utensils, there is a farmers' market on the streets of Xishan Township, and you can buy your own vegetables and cook by yourself. ”

"That's great! Mr. Zhou, please rest assured, we will build according to the requirements of the technician and never delay the construction period. ”

"Then it's decided, tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, you will take people to gather at the fork in Xishan Township."
