In the past few days when Seinfeld was running around for concubines, the brothers of "Qingyuan" were not idle. Yang Xin, You Yuan, and Qingchen consulted several well-known construction craftsmen in Liangxiang City on the issue of building a temporary powder magazine and garage and building a "cool garden". Among them, the powder magazine is based on five rooms that can shelter from the wind and rain, plus a circle of courtyard walls, and it takes about 50 times to complete within a month; Because the garage had to fit armored vehicles and tanks, it had to be built larger, with 10 rooms with a large span that could shelter from the wind and rain, plus three-quarters of the courtyard wall -- the courtyard wall on the east side of the "Jingyuan" on the other side -- as the standard, and it would take 130 pieces of work and materials to complete it in two and a half months.

As for the "Liangyuan" base, these craftsmen all reacted similarly when they first saw the design drawings, first shocked, then a little excited, and some craftsmen couldn't even speak well. The reason is very simple, if such a large project can be undertaken, the profits can be imagined, and it is impossible for these craftsmen to be indifferent. However, it is precisely because of the scale of the project that no craftsman dares to undertake it alone. Because the master said very clearly, if you feel that you have enough ability, you can contract the project to you, but the premise is to sign a contract with the master, if you can't complete the project on time and quality, the construction party needs to bear the liability for compensation is also quite huge, and it is by no means something that one or two craftsmen can bear.

However, these craftsmen are also very flexible, and since one family can't eat, several families join forces to do so. So, two days after Yang Xin handed over the relevant information of the "Liangyuan" project to these craftsmen, on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, the leaders of several relatively strong construction teams in Liangxiang City came to the "Qingyuan" together, asking to visit Yang Xin and You Yuan, hoping to negotiate the construction of the "Liangyuan" project.

Yang Xin and You Yuan were informed, and on the one hand, they reported to Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin, and on the other hand, they led several craftsmen to the flower hall in the front yard to take a seat. Wang and Zhang got the news and thought they could have a good talk with these craftsmen. After all, the "Liangyuan" base is a big project, and it is also an inevitable choice for all craftsmen to jointly contract. However, the two of them were not good at this kind of business talk, so they sent Yang, You and Fan Wucheng to communicate with the craftsmen together. Because Yang Xin basically didn't know anything about negotiation, trading, and doing business, the actual negotiation work was completed by Fan Wucheng and You Yuan.

After introducing and communicating with each other, Fan and You basically understood each other's strength, and then began to discuss the specific issues of the project. On the basis of the brief explanation made to the craftsmen before, Yang Xin elaborated on the specific requirements and clear jishu indicators of his own side for the project. He also said that these requirements and indicators are the bottom line and the standards that must be met, and there is no room for any reduction or improvisation.

In the face of these requirements put forward by Yang Xin, these craftsmen all showed embarrassed looks. Among them, a craftsman surnamed Luo who seemed to be in charge of them after listening to Yang Xin's detailed explanation, asked a little puzzled: "This Yang Ye, the villain has a saying, I don't know if to ask?" ”

"We're talking about business, if there's any problem, Master Luo just ask." Without waiting for Yang Xin to answer, Fan Wucheng had already rushed to say. He knew that Yang Xin was not smart in talking about business, and he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing, so he intercepted the words.

This Master Luo didn't care too much about who answered his question, he thought about his words a little, and asked tentatively: "Then forgive the villain, when this Yang Ye and this You Ye found the villain and a few colleagues the day before yesterday, they said that this 'cool garden' is a summer resort built for themselves by the master and his brothers." ”

"Not bad," Fan replied.

"That's a bit strange," Master Luo said with a frown, "Judging from the villain's experience in building houses and bridges for nearly twenty years, this vast 'cool garden' doesn't look like a summer retreat at all." ”

Fan Wucheng smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Then Master Yiluo, what is this 'cool garden' for?" ”

Master Luo was pondering the purpose of the other party's construction of such a building at this time, and did not notice the expression on Fan Wucheng's face, and when he heard Fan Wucheng's question, he subconsciously replied: "According to the villain, this mansion seems to be more like a fort, and it is far stronger and more perfect than the dock fort built by those rich squires. ”

The smile on Fan Wucheng's face was even bigger at this time, and he asked rhetorically, "Oh, is it?" Is Master Luo so sure that this is a fortress? ”

"This is natural, with the villain's experience of nearly twenty years......" Master Luo heard Fan Wucheng ask, and at first thought that the other party did not believe in his own experience, and wanted to boast about himself again. As a result, halfway through the conversation, he felt that the tone of the other party's speech just now didn't seem right, so he hurriedly stopped and raised his head to look at the other party. I saw that Fan Wucheng looked at his expression as if he was smiling, although the tone of his speech was still so pleasant, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the expression in the other party's eyes was a hint of calmness. The two masters next to him also looked cold, especially that Yang Gongzi, who had a murderous aura on his face, which made Master Luo feel a burst of chills in this midsummer season, and a cool breath rushed straight to his head along his backbone.

At this time, Master Luo complained again and again in his heart, and kept complaining about what he was doing with this mouth. These lords in front of them are the famous "land snakes" in Liangxiang City, not only are they close friends with the county master, but they are also said to be in-laws with the officials in Youzhou City, and they are characters who can never afford to offend the small people like themselves. These lords and their brothers are now thriving in Liangxiang City, and it is said that the business is also doing very well, and a few days ago they also sold the first big green building in Liangxiang "Yan Jue Lou", which must be the owner of the family. They plan to build such a castle-like mansion, and the summer vacation must be just a cover-up rhetoric, and the real purpose is probably to hide the money. Now that he has inadvertently said it, these masters will not kill themselves, right?

However, if you say it, it is like water that has been spilled, and it is not easy to recycle it. Thinking of this, Master Luo was horrified in his heart, and even his hands and feet were already cold. Fortunately, he was not the only craftsman who came, and the other craftsmen were also veterans who had been working for many years, so they could naturally feel the meaning of the master's words, and a craftsman surnamed He hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "I said Brother Luo, let you drink less wine at lunch today, but you just don't listen, see if this is not starting to talk nonsense." What these masters want to build is obviously a summer retreat, where did the fort come from? ”

"Yes, yes. Lao Luo, you really drank too much and talked nonsense. The other craftsmen chimed in.

Several peers finally found a step down the steps for this Master Luo, and he quickly got off the donkey, pretending to have drunk too much, and said; "This man is old, and the amount of alcohol is really not good, and he only drank two glasses at noon, and his head is not sober. Don't be surprised by this Fan Ye, you complain that the villain drank a few more drinks and talked nonsense. At this time, I woke up a little bit, and I could see clearly, this mansion was just a summer retreat, and it was completely different from a fort. ”

Fan Wucheng, You, and Yang all nodded with satisfaction when they heard this, and the expressions on their faces softened a lot. Fan Wucheng said: "That's right, it's just an ordinary summer retreat, don't go outside to spread the word." Wouldn't it be laughed at by others if the other courtyard was called a fortress? ”

Master Luo and other craftsmen hurriedly nodded in agreement, and all said that they would rest assured that they would never spread the word when they went out.

A "consensus" was reached on the nature of the "Cool Garden," and the two sides began to discuss specific construction issues. According to the standards and requirements put forward by Yang Xin, several craftsmen gave the corresponding construction period and cost after some total.

This time it was Master He, who gave Master Luo a round, on behalf of the craftsmen, and he said: "According to the requirements and standards put forward by this Yang Ye, if it is built according to the pattern drawn on this drawing, the villain estimates that it will take at least a year or so for the entire courtyard to be fully built under the condition of sufficient manpower, and the total cost of continuous work and materials is about 15,000 to 20,000 yuan. ”

Fan Wucheng and You Yuan listened to Master He's introduction, and compared these figures with the construction period and cost of the two temporary warehouses in their hearts, and found that they should be within a reasonable range, but the range of this cost is a little large. So, Fan Wucheng asked: "The construction period and cost given by Master He are also fair, but Fan doesn't understand a little, weishenme The cost range you give is so large, and the difference between the two lowest and highest figures is 5,000 yuan, which is a bit unreasonable?" ”

When Master He heard this, he bowed his hand to Fan Wucheng and said, "Master Fan, don't be suspicious first, listen to the villain explain the reason clearly." The reason why the price difference is so big is mainly because on the drawing given by Yang Ye, only the northern part of the garden indicates the regulation and size of dozens of houses, while in the south of the garden, there is basically nothing drawn. To say that nothing is built in the south and that it is so empty seems to make sense. Therefore, the villain had to compare the pattern of the north side of the garden, and deduce that the south side might have to build as many houses as the north side, and accordingly gave a relatively large range of wages. ”

After hearing this, Fan Wucheng somewhat understood what Master He meant, and he asked tentatively: "What Master He means is that if there are as many houses as there are in the north of the garden, it will take 20,000 yuan; If the south side is left empty and not built, it will only take 15,000? ”

"That's right, that's exactly what the villain meant," Master He replied with a nod.

Fan Wucheng continued to ask: "Master He just said that this price includes labor and materials, so that means that the preparation of materials, the hiring of workers, and all the expenses in the entire construction process are included. At that time, our brother will not have to worry about anything other than paying according to the contract, Fan is right? ”

"That's right, that's right," Master He echoed, "The construction of the courtyard is all taken care of by the villains, and the masters don't have to worry about anything other than paying their wages on time." ”

Fan Wucheng nodded and said, "That's the best." ”

Subsequently, he discussed it quietly with You Yuan and Yang Xin, and felt that everything he should know was almost understood, and he could report it to the committee. So, Fan Wucheng asked a few craftsmen to go home first and wait for news, and once the decision was made, he would notify them. Several craftsmen naturally did not have any objections to this, and hurriedly stood up, said goodbye to Fan Wucheng and the other three, and went back to wait for news.

After sending off a few craftsmen, Fan, You, and Yang came to the small conference room together, and first briefly briefed Wang Kunjun and Zhang Weixin. Before the evening, the content of the business negotiation was written into a formal report and submitted to the committee for discussion and study.

That night, the team held an enlarged meeting of the committee, and Li Junwu, Xu Shaoan and others participated in the meeting through radio. After some discussion and calculation, we agreed in principle to the application for the budget for the construction of the "Liangyuan" base in this report. However, the science and technology team still has not been able to give an exact plan on how to allocate the space in the southern half of the base, so it has not yet been able to reach an agreement on whether to allocate 15,000 yuan or 20,000 yuan.

Because the construction of the "Liangyuan" work area needs to be arranged according to the actual work progress of each scientific research group, and the work progress of each scientific research group cannot be accurately predicted, the committee decided to divide the construction of the "Liangyuan" base into two phases after research. In the first phase, only the bastion, the inner perimeter defensive wall and the northern part of the living area were constructed, while the southern work area was divided into several rows of improvised houses according to the size of the area that the work of the several research teams might need. In this way, the scientific research teams can have a place to engage in R&D and initial production after they are stationed, and will not cause too much waste. After the scientific research groups put forward the exact demand plan for scientific research and production sites to the committee, the second phase of the project will be started, and then the construction of the entire "Liangyuan" base will be completed.

In accordance with the spirit of phased construction, the committee decided to allocate 16,000 yuan for the construction of the first phase of the "Liangyuan" base. On the specific contracting issues of the first phase of the project, Fan Wucheng, You Yuan and Yang Xin negotiated substantively with the craftsman alliance on behalf of the team and signed an agreement. In the process of the project, Fan, You and Yang are also responsible for the follow-up of the progress and the supervision and acceptance of the construction quality. In addition, according to Fan Wucheng's suggestion, Wang Kunjun also instructed the housekeeper Deng An after the meeting to wait for the dispatch of the three at any time and provide them with necessary assistance.

Fan Wucheng and the other three are well aware of the importance of this task, and they all said that they will do their best to complete this big project and make the "Liangyuan" base a trustworthy safe haven for the brothers.

In addition, when discussing the construction of the "Liangyuan" base with the "Qingyuan" side, Xu Shaoan, who was in the "Jingyuan," also informed Wang Kunjun and others of the news -- after his tests with Yuan Aiguo, He Qiang, Fang Guoqiang, and others, the vehicles brought by the crossing people still have the ability to walk, and if they can manage to repair a passable road, they can completely drive out of the crossing point. Hearing this news, Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin and others were very happy, and expressed the hope that Xu Shaoan and the others would make persistent efforts and drive these vehicles out of the mountain with the help of the minions of a squadron led by Zeng Zhilin, so that they could be more used by the team.

In this regard, Xu Shaoan and others were not able to give Wang Kunjun and others a positive answer, but only said that they would do their best. Regarding the caution of Xu Shaoan and others, Wang Kunjun also expressed his understanding. After all, limited by Jishu conditions, in the face of cliffs and deep valleys, no one can be sure of victory. However, since the temporary garage will take more than two months to be repaired, there is still plenty of time left for Xu Shao'an. They can methodically shiyan various methods to find the best solution from them.
