Chapter 1261: Zhou Bing is Overwhelmed with Emotion
Zhou Dasha was worried. The original street construction team had disbanded because they didn’t have any projects.
"No need to worry about the projects. You just focus on forming a team that’s tough and can withstand hardship." Mengyu thought, what makes the most money in the future? Real estate companies. Having our own construction team makes it much easier to start a real estate company.
"However, I want the best workers, not those who just laze around and take the money without doing the work."
Zhou Dasha nodded: "Naturally, in the former construction team there were too many people who were lazy and cunning, that’s why people didn’t want to entrust their projects to us, which dragged the whole team down."
After discussing for a long time, the two had already drafted the charter for the construction company. Mengyu discovered that Zhou Dasha wasn’t foolish at all; on the contrary, he was quite capable.
He was the deputy leader in the original construction team. And as for the leader, he just collected his salary and didn’t manage anything. So, in reality, it was Zhou Dasha who was handling the matters of the construction team.
Doing a bit more didn’t affect him, but the problem was that the leader frequently pulled him down, either taking bribes and approving substandard steel, or buying cement that didn’t meet the grade. For the sake of construction quality, he had no choice but to confront the leader, and eventually, when the leader lost face, they replaced the materials with quality ones.
Moreover, while others accepted gifts, he resolutely refused, even if contracts were signed and assurances were given for the best materials, he still resolutely refused.
That’s how he got the nickname "Dasha," meaning "big fool."
He had the talent to manage a construction team, but when Mengyu asked him earlier, he didn’t mention it. Because, after the construction team disbanded, he felt responsible as the deputy leader. Therefore, he didn’t dare claim his management abilities.
Mengyu was very pleased; she had inadvertently found a talent.
Mengyu provided the money, while Zhou Dasha handled all the matters. The old construction team members were used if they could be, and hired others if they couldn’t. The key was that they were a private construction company, so they didn’t care about household registration!
This one point alone could attract many rural talents that state-owned construction companies couldn’t recruit. Everyone says they don’t restrict the hiring of talents based on rigid frameworks, but in reality, at that time, the utilization and mobility of talents were constrained by the household registration system.
If you had a rural household registration, many jobs that were only for non-agricultural registrations were off-limits to you, no matter how skilled you were.
As a result, many talents were buried in the rural areas, especially various construction craftsmen like carpenters and engravers. There truly were experts among the common folk. If their recruitment wasn’t limited by household registration, their construction company would definitely have a greater advantage in terms of talent than state-owned companies.
After Mengyu and Zhou Dasha discussed it, she gave him one million yuan and a blueprint she drew for the courtyard, telling him to first establish the construction company team, then start by rebuilding her courtyard.
Zhou Dasha was a bit dumbfounded: "Boss Nan, isn’t this too much? Aren’t you afraid—"
This is one million yuan, not one hundred thousand, much less ten thousand. Aren’t you afraid that I might run away with your money?
"If you employ someone you don’t suspect, and if you suspect someone you don’t employ. Since I’ve chosen you, it means I trust you. From now on, you’ll be the general manager of our construction company. Besides, my courtyard shouldn’t just be restored to its original state. Except for the timber that I’ll provide you, you’ll have to source all other materials, and you must use the best, which means a considerable amount of money will be spent." Mengyu said sincerely.
The courtyard was located in the bustling district of West City. She wanted to build the best Siheyuan, which could be used for personal residence or rented out for tourism purposes later.
As for timber, her newly expanded space had a vast original forest with precious tree species. Not only was the courtyard’s original red sandalwood available, but even Phoebe zhennan could be easily found in the space.
Zhou Dasha was overwhelmed with emotion: "Thank you for trusting me, Eldest Lady. Zhou Bing swears to repay your kindness and trust to the end."
