The Engineering Boss

Chapter 218 Cut corners

It's a little after 6:30 in the afternoon, in the farmhouse of the brothers of Hu Village Chang's family.

Zhang Mai and his wife had already arrived ahead of time, while Chen Yang had been waiting in the farmhouse for a long time with the junior materials staff and junior administrators. The only one who didn't show up was Village Chief Hu.

"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, hurry up and sit down! The food will be served soon." Chen Yang immediately took care of the two and sat down.

Zhang Mai smiled and said, "Didn't you say you invited Village Chief Hu? Why, Village Chief Hu hasn't arrived yet?"

"Village Chief Hu is already on his way, and he should be there soon." Chen Yang replied, "Sister-in-law, today is your holiday, I wish you a happy holiday!"

"Thanks!"

Zhang Mai's wife is dressed very brightly today, she should only be dressed like this today, and she should be very formal in the store.

"Boss Chen, tell the people below you that no, you have to go to my wife's shop to buy steel materials, you must not forget it!" Zhang Mai will not forget his family's business at this time.

But it's okay not to talk about it. As soon as Chen Yang talked about it, he thought that Zhang Mai's daughter-in-law sold him at a high price. This is simply the rhythm of slaughtering people!

This bridge project was originally contracted at a fixed price, and the profit was very small. It is no wonder that it is not a loss to pay a little more here.

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Mai's daughter-in-law wouldn't have been running the business like this all the time. She only cheated on the people introduced by Zhang Mai, making it difficult for others not to buy his materials.

In other words, Chen Yang has not yet figured out Zhang Mai's true identity and what position he holds in the government.

"I have ordered my material staff to go to my sister-in-law to purchase materials, but unfortunately there is no stock now, and my sister-in-law is still buying." Chen Yang said slowly, "Speaking of purchasing steel, sister-in-law, what is the price you sold to us? Is the price higher than others?"

Zhang Mai's daughter-in-law heard the words and said: "High? Impossible, they are all market prices, how can it be high."

Whoops, I still don't admit it!

"Boss Chen, don't worry, my daughter-in-law must be selling at the market price, and it won't be high." Zhang Mai explained beside him.

Chen Yang looked at the junior material clerk: "Let my material clerk talk about the market price he investigated."

The junior material worker immediately said: "Since the boss took over the bridge project, I have spent a day traveling all the markets for the materials we need on the construction site. Among them, the market price of the steel bars I need to purchase now is The ton is about three thousand and eighty-nine, but the proprietress sold it to me for four thousand two-three, which is four or five hundred higher than the market price."

Zhang Mai looked at his daughter-in-law suspiciously after hearing this, as if asking his daughter-in-law if this is true?

Unfortunately, Zhang Mai's daughter-in-law stopped talking and shifted her gaze to the mobile phone in her hand.

Zhang Mai immediately knew that his daughter-in-law must have sold it to Chen Yang at a high price, and looked at Chen Yang with some embarrassment.

"Boss Chen, I'm really sorry. Look at how embarrassing this matter was. I was thinking about giving back a discount to Boss Chen, but in the end I sold it at a high price. Daughter-in-law, come down and lower the price of Boss Chen. And it's below the market price, do you understand?" Zhang Mai said to his wife.

"Know it!"

This was just a small episode, but this small episode saved Chen Yang tens of thousands of dollars.

Chen Yang was thinking in his heart that Zhang Mai's daughter-in-law must be scolding him to death at this moment, even Zhang Mai was the same.

Who told them that they were husband and wife, didn't Zhang Mai know that his wife sold them at such a high price?

His wife must have dared to do this after being allowed by Zhang Mai, but Zhang Mai hid it very well at this dinner table.

The dishes were brought to the table one by one, and after a while, Village Chief Hu came with his wife and daughter.

"Mr. Hu, why did you come so late? Was it delayed by something?" Zhang Mai asked.

Village head Hu said: "What else can there be? It's not a problem with the site of the resettlement house. The masonry retaining wall repaired by the construction team is simply a tofu project. It took a long time to repair it and cracks appeared. Isn't this a trick? It was discovered by the villagers of our village today,

The construction team has been shut down now, and the higher-ups will send people down to investigate tomorrow. "

"You have to know that the site is going to be built on top of the resettlement house. In the past, the villagers said that they didn't compact the foundation, so they just piled up the empty soil on it and pressed it casually. Now the retaining wall is also made like this, and the villagers don't make trouble. No wonder, I'm really used to cutting corners, and I'm not afraid of anything."

"The construction team is indeed a bit worrying. They do some work because they want to cut corners. I don't know if it is the boss's order or the people below do it on purpose." Zhang Mai also said.

The three of Chen Yang didn't say a word, just quietly listening to their chat.

"Boss Chen, you can't be like that construction team. If you cut corners and cut corners when repairing the bridge, if there are pedestrians on it after the bridge breaks, people will die. And this bridge is very important to several villages here. If I found that you cut corners during the construction process, so I will report you without hesitation." Village Chief Hu looked at Chen Yang and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately promised: "This kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen. I still have this common sense. I won't kill myself just to cut corners."

"That's good! I won't say anything about cutting corners in other places, but I have to say it here." Village Chief Hu sighed, "I really want to drive that construction team away. What kind of work, I really don't know who called the construction team in."

At this time, Zhang Mai said: "The project has not been cleaned up after it has been completed, which means that there is something behind him."

"Indeed, it's different if someone has a relationship behind them. But if the construction team still repairs the resettlement houses in the future, then I will quit. I will take the villagers to the government to make trouble. I still don't believe that hundreds of people will go to the government. There is no reaction yet." Village Chief Hu said slowly.

This village head Hu is really...

"Everyone, don't bother talking, grab some food and eat quickly!"

After hearing Chen Yang's words, everyone started to move their chopsticks, and then Village Chief Hu spoke again without taking a few mouthfuls.

"Boss Chen, I see that you are a practical person. You will definitely not cut corners when building our resettlement house. How about you take down the resettlement house and do it?"

Hey, Mr. Hu, what does this mean?

Ask yourself to take resettlement housing, is this a project that you can get if you want?

I'm afraid this resettlement housing project has long been ordered by default, unless I have a strong relationship.

"Village Chief Hu thinks highly of me. The resettlement housing project here is not something I can do if I want to do it. I'm afraid it won't work if it has nothing to do with it." Chen Yang said with a smile.

"This is not necessarily the case. I heard that the project of resettlement housing is more than 20 million yuan, and it is already preparing for bidding. If Boss Chen wants to do it, he can bid!"
