Foolish Man

Xiao Qi stood by and waited. The fat boss wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and black trousers hung up, thinking of the foreman who could flatten the entire road surface by 20 centimeters before, and suddenly sighed.

If he has a reliable construction worker, he might as well find a worker himself. Now he has no choice but to try to hire a construction worker temporarily, and find a skilled worker to do the work himself.

The road in this community is finally getting a gift, but I can't be stopped at this step.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Qi smiled and stopped the fat boss, "Big brother, I was passing by just now. I accidentally heard you call to find a foreman who can do the measurement by myself? Can I do it? I'm in the frontier. He specializes in road construction, and he has been doing it for several years. When he was a teenager, he went there to do small jobs, and he would also do big jobs."

The fat boss looked up and down Xiao Qi twice with suspicion. Xiao Qi smiled confidently and calmly, "I'm now helping the foreman at the soil foundation of a unit building in Zone B to carry out surveys and levelling the concrete floor. Line, if the boss doesn’t believe in my skills, you can go over there and see what I’ve done now."

The fat boss didn't think Xiao Qi was a fool. Although Xiao Qi was a complete stranger who happened on the side of the road, now the fat boss just can't find anyone.

It is already early June, and there are so many construction sites in Furong City. Although there are many construction workers and contractors, they can't resist the collective start of the construction site.

It doesn't matter whether you know it or not. As long as Xiao Qi has the skills and has someone in his hand, and the price is not too big, then there will be no problem.

"Boss, did you contract the road for this community or something? Does the green belt include?..."

Seeing the fat boss nodded, Xiao Qi smiled and almost talked while handing a cigarette holder, revealing his own strength in his words-even if Xiao Qi is actually a polished commander now, he definitely cannot speak the truth.

The fat boss was surnamed Zhu and Zhu Sihai. He was a double-contracted boss with a small family property. He specialized in contracting work from the company, and then provided the materials himself to subcontract the laborers to the single-contracted foremen.

This year Boss Zhu established a good relationship with the manager of the company, selected the community in advance, and selected the road sidewalk lawn brick rain well and greening of the entire community in Qingcheng Yaju District A, which is not fragmentary and flat.

This is a big job. If you do it all, you can make a million or so. Doing two or three of these jobs a year is a good harvest.

Xiao Qi will do it himself, but there is no one at hand now, and it is the convenience of boss Zhu who does not have a construction worker. So Xiao Qi has an idea in his heart, but he did not take it all at this time. Let's talk about the most advantageous part.

It was at noon when Xiao Qi went for a stroll. Now that the weather is getting hot, they can have a lunch break for more than an hour after having lunch at noon.

When it’s the hottest in July and August, I don’t dare to go to work before 4 o’clock in the afternoon. After all, the mold-making workers are all working at high altitude, and the working environment is almost all built with steel frames. Hanging in the air is uncomfortable. , If the steel frame gets hot after the sun, it’s easy to get an accident.

Boss Zhu also just drove over from another construction site just opened at noon, and he didn't even have time to eat lunch. If the construction site does not start again, I am afraid that the company will be dissatisfied with him and take the work back to others. NS.

Taking advantage of no one on the construction site, Xiao Qi took Boss Zhu directly to Zhang Fugui's building in Zone B to take a look.

In fact, if you want to say that you can’t see anything when you look at it, Boss Zhu also knows that if Xiao Qi sincerely lied to him, there are so many tricks to "see", but they will not be afraid of waste just because they know this. Time is too lazy to do it.

It seems that they are doing big work, but the most boring thing is the trivial things that have to be done.

Xiao Qi didn't conceal Zhang Fugui's intention, and he asked Boss Zhu to order a few home-cooked dishes in a small restaurant nearby, which was fairly clean, and ate some with Boss Zhu.

Boss Zhu was also a farmer, and he didn't take the air of a big boss.

Perhaps there is more or less meaning to win over people's hearts, but Xiao Qi doesn't care, everyone knows these methods well and understands them.

I also have to cooperate with you in acting. Everyone turns their heads and talks about bragging. You must obey this unexplained rule.

In the afternoon, Boss Zhu will drive to another construction site, and in the evening he will set up a place to invite the leader. After all, the work has started, and the supervision and quality inspections of various places must be well managed.

If we don't coax people, if there is a problem here today, there will be a suspension of work and awaiting inspection tomorrow, then basically a project will be scrapped.

Although these departments are not considered as little ghosts, they also mean that little ghosts are difficult to deal with. This is the interpersonal relationship that must be dealt with after becoming the big boss of Shuangbao.

There is no way, if you want to get more benefits, you must pay corresponding hardships.

Xiao Qi still doesn't have a mobile phone now. The last thing he left was Boss Zhu's phone number. After he agreed that Xiao Qi would call him directly tomorrow, and he would make another appointment to send Xiao Qi the drawings.

How much you can earn from a job is mainly to look at the drawings, and then calculate according to the other party’s quotation. If you think that you can make a profit after excluding labor and your own labor costs, you will usually take it.

Of course, if there are multiple items to choose from at the same time, it must be a job with a better price and a smoother area and less complicated requirements.

Xiao Qi is now lucky enough to stay on the job, as long as this job can make tens of thousands of dollars, Xiao Qi will definitely not let it go.

After the work is done, I will have a good cooperation with Boss Zhu. I will definitely get to know more people in this area one after another in the follow-up. Then I can call the contact relationship from time to time, or some people can also call if they need it. contact him.

Thinking about it this way, it is an imperative investment of money to buy a mobile phone.

Xiao Qi returned to the construction site, and Zhang Fugui followed in letting the workers go to work. Seeing Xiao Qi coming back from the outside, Zhang Fugui didn't seem to look pretty.

Xiao Qi knew in his heart that someone must have seen him lead someone to see the construction site at noon. Although he didn't understand who Xiao Qi brought, it was always someone who looked like a boss who entered the construction site and wandered around. You can't think directly about the good side.

Xiao Qi looked calm, smiled and greeted Zhang Fugui. Before Zhang Fugui could question, he told the matter in advance.

"...I happened to ran into a person who called to find someone to buy the road to the community. I thought that from time to time, we didn’t expect to stop work, so I just wanted to go to the boss to find out if we can give it to us. Also find a chance to go to the door to earn pocket money in your free time..."

"...Boss, the money for the construction of this house is not easy to get. I worked in the frontier for so many years, and it is easier to get the money on the road, although I may not have the money for a job. There are so many, it’s worth taking the money."

Road construction is because many of the national projects, and if there are private tasks that are not easy to get money, next time you find a foreman, people in a circle will know that your boss is not good to get money, and would rather not do your job and rest at home. Don't do it.

It is precisely because the cycle period is small that Lu Jian dare not drag it for five or six years like the housing construction side.

Xiao Qi seemed to be persuading Zhang Fugui not to do house construction, and Zhang Fugui nodded. He naturally understood these things, but because he didn’t know Lu Jian before, he only vaguely knew these things. .

But now that he has signed a contract and took a few units, it is naturally impossible for Xiao Qi to persuade him over with a few words.

However, Xiao Qi didn't really want to persuade him, just to give Zhang Fugui a little bit, so that he could find a way out.

And if he went to build a road, it would not hurt Zhang Fugui, and even as long as he had a good relationship with Xiao Qi, Zhang Fugui could benefit from it in the future.

Zhang Fugui is not a stupid person, he vaguely figured out this thought, his gloomy face also cleared up, smiling with one hand on his hips and using the other hand to fan the wind, looking up and squinting to watch the jingle upstairs at work. The worker sighed, "Isn't that reasonable? But my brother doesn't have the ability to eat this bowl of rice, but if Brother Xiaoqi picks up the job in the future, he can go to me where he needs to hire people. I want it here, as long as it can be freed up, I will definitely not push my brother."

Xiao Qi frowned and made empathetic sadness, "I don't have anything to do with it myself, but I can't help the boss take over. But in the future, if I want to measure something, the boss just greets me, and no matter how busy I am. Come here."

Zhang Fugui originally thought that Xiao Qi was an educated person. Maybe he should give in twice now, saying something like "Boss, why don't you pick me up?" and "My work hasn't finished yet. You can't just pick up the polite words in the middle.

During this period of time, Xiao Qi was pretending to have a good temper, refreshing and generous, and also playing humorously to call others brothers and brothers. When working, he could make people unconsciously shake off his arms and work hard, but Xiao Qi himself was not. Those who can get rid of benefits for the sake of face.

On the contrary, with enough benefits, Xiao Qi's face was very clean and tidy.

If Xiao Qi really followed the polite sentence, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing over the initiative to Zhang Fugui with both hands?

As for Zhang Fugui's grace for taking in him, it is nonsense, coaxing people into friendship, whether it is talking or listening, whoever is serious will lose.

Zhang Fugui stayed with Xiao Qi because Xiao Qi was useful and saved him a lot of money. Xiao Qi now also promised that he would continue to be Zhang Fugui's construction worker to help with some of the work that needed to be measured.

As for opening money, as long as Zhang Fugui is not stupid and wants to meet Xiao Qi in the future without nodding and shaking hands, he must be paid.

Now that he had a plan to do it alone, Xiao Qi cheeked and lived in Zhang Fugui's shed for two days. After that, he smoothly found a pigeon cage small room in a nearby old community, and added water and electricity bills for a month. It's only twenty yuan.

The so-called pigeon cage is really a grid, separated by a thin layer of wood on the outside, and about three square meters inside, with a folding spring bed.

Then turn on a faucet in the corner, and the remaining space is only enough for people to put a cardboard box at the end of the bed as a small table for toothpaste and toothbrushes. You have to walk sideways when you walk.

Because it is separated by thin wooden boards, the people in the next few cubicles can be heard by others with a light cough. When they turn over at night, the bed against the wall can hit the wallboard DuangDuang.

Except for invisible people, it's like a group of strangers who don't know each other sleeping in a room.

However, Xiao Qi liked the proximity to the construction site and the private space. Xiao Qi believed that he was a big man. When someone peeked at him, he couldn’t do without two or two flesh. Private space. Anyway, he only has five-finger girls to accompany him, not that much. It is used frequently, it doesn't matter whether there is personal space or not.

Xiao Qi moved out of the work shed and was not unfamiliar with the workers. He greeted him and said where he was, so that everyone would come to visit when he was free. He would come and have a look occasionally, and he would also help Zhang Fugui. String.

Xiao Qi originally had no one on his hands, but Xiao Qi is not afraid of this. Now that he is raised by others, he can only wait for the boss to see and arrange two days to live. As long as he promises to live all the time, he is not afraid. No worker is unwilling to come.

More than a decade later, there is also the kind of subcontracting a piece of work and letting a few workers do it by themselves, and doing more. That kind of method really stimulates the enthusiasm of the workers.

But now there is no such good thing. After all, workers are still begging the foreman for work, not the future foreman who begged the worker for work.

In addition, Xiao Qi can do all the work of the procedures, so it is enough to ask a few workers to go to the battle to supervise and carry them together. If they are subcontracted, they will have to lose some profits.

After making an appointment with Boss Zhu to get the drawings, Xiao Qi sat on the roadside bench and quickly calculated the drawings, and determined that the price given by Boss Zhu was fair, and the two quickly signed the contract again.

In fact, Xiao Qi had already shown the scene in advance. The main purpose of looking at the drawings was to finally determine the area allocated to him.

Boss Zhu directly contracted all the roads and well greening in Area A of Qingcheng Yaju. It can be said that all the work on the surface has been completed.

There is a lot of rain in Province S. Although the summer is hot, there is no shortage of water vapor in the air, so the roads here are mainly paved with cement.

If it is in a dry and dry place like the frontier, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of thermal expansion and contraction of cement and discard cement.

If Xiao Qi were to choose for himself, it would definitely be unwilling to take over the work of laying concrete. Not to mention the tiring work, it would not make money, and it would have to pick the weather. It would definitely not work if it rained, and it would cause a sump.

If the road surface is rough, it is okay, but the road surface in this apartment complex must be flattened, even if there are anti-skid measures, it is self-embossing.

But there is no way. After the soil foundation is excavated, the layers are covered with work that can use his measurement technology. Boss Zhu himself found him because of this, and Xiao Qi would not forget the basics for this reason. .

However, in order to make up for it, Xiao Qi took care of all the work of laying bricks and curbstones, which are all good projects for making money.

After signing the contract, I agreed to follow the payment method written in the contract. Xiao Qi didn't say much in this regard. Anyway, it's hello, hello, everyone.

When he wrestled with money in the future, Xiao Qi had his own way of not tearing the skin, but also allowing people to settle the money obediently, and he had practiced and improved countless times, and kept it well.

The contract was signed here, Xiao Qi was not idle, went to the night market for fifty yuan to buy a "second-hand mobile phone with a black account" that could make calls and send text messages, applied for a phone card, and then went to various road constructions. Wandering around the construction site.

According to Xiao Qi, it would be better to train a few people by himself, but now he has no funds to support his own workers, and secondly, he only has a job with Boss Zhu, and he doesn’t know many bosses. , It’s easy to rely on the “work to do” this bait to catch the workers, and then they just scattered because they didn’t have a job. That’s wasted effort.

Fortunately, the whole process of paving the cement road in the early stage did not require many workers, so Xiao Qi dug a few unemployed workers, regardless of whether it was road construction or house construction. Xiao Qi promised that as long as he works hard, even if he works here. After finishing the work, they will definitely find the next one.

The workers at the moment are still quite simple, especially since Xiao Qi is a local in S Province. The workers who are looking for are also local accents. Now there is no fellow villager who lied to you and didn’t discuss it, so Xiao Qi succeeded in getting it. Eight workers went to their own construction site, and he secretly selected all of them.

Xiao Qi had already lowered the standard in terms of craftsmanship, so these people must be able to make up for it in other ways, otherwise Xiao Qi would feel at a loss.

Xiao Qi can eat everything, but he can't suffer a loss. Of course, unless the loss can be exchanged for greater benefits, then Xiao Qi can still eat as much as it is.

The author has something to say: Xiao Qi: Professional debt collection for more than ten years, has never had a dead account, if you need a boss, please contact me.

The renting house was written by my brother in reference to the pigeon cage back then. It is really dark and dawn inside. It can be said that the darkness inside has been fresh in my memory for more than ten years.
