Chapter 1260: Establishing a Construction Company
Mengyu understood that this Zhou Dasha was definitely a good worker in past decades, and in this era, he could be quite valuable.
However, this kind of person is commonly known as a simpleton. Used well, they can be quite effective, and there’s one great quality: once they recognize you, they won’t betray you!
Zhou Dasha lowered his head when the aunt gave him a look. His mind is somewhat simple and can’t turn corners. His wife despised him for this and left with the children for someone else.
Mengyu sighed and asked, "Uncle Zhou, I need someone to oversee the reconstruction of my courtyard. Can you help me? I’ll give you two hundred yuan a month."
Upon hearing Mengyu’s words, all the neighbors standing in the courtyard were shocked. A hundred yuan a month, just to oversee the courtyard’s reconstruction?
This job is not too easy, and the salary of a hundred yuan is also too high, right? Even senior technicians in major state enterprises earn just over a hundred.
Zhou Dasha seemed stunned: "I—this is too much. I only earn over forty at the factory."
Mengyu nodded: "That’s just the basic salary. If you supervise well and satisfy me, there’s also a bonus."
Zhou Dasha quickly said, "It’s my duty to do a good job for the salary. How can I take a bonus?"
All the neighbors shook their heads in their hearts: this Zhou Dasha is being foolish again.
Yet Mengyu liked his foolishness: "Okay, don’t say anymore. You can start your position today. Can you hire a construction team?"
Zhou Dasha nodded: "Of course I can! I know several construction teams. I’ll choose the best one to help you rebuild this courtyard."
Mengyu looked at Zhou Dasha: "I want the best construction team. It must be those old craftsmen who understand how to restore ancient buildings."
Zhou Dasha thought for a moment and said, "If that’s the case, then we can’t hire those state-owned construction teams."
Mengyu felt a stir: "What was the name of your original factory?"
Zhou Dasha: "My previous unit was the Street Office Construction Team."
Mengyu was very curious: "How could a construction team go bankrupt at this time?"
"Because, they can’t get projects. It’s not like the past where projects were assigned to you. People now hire big companies for their projects. Who would want to hire a small construction team from the Street Office."
Mengyu felt a leap in his heart: "Uncle Zhou, how about we talk at your house about how to start this courtyard?"
Zhou Dasha thought it was really about building the courtyard and invited Mengyu home without suspicion.
Seeing Mengyu leave, other neighbors also dispersed. What they are most concerned about now is whether they can get paid in three days, rather than Zhou Dasha’s matter, which they just talk about for the sake of it.
When Mengyu entered Zhou Dasha’s house, he found that despite being a bachelor, Zhou Dasha’s home was in good order, which satisfied him even more.
Zhou Dasha poured Mengyu a glass of plain water: "Sorry, I’m out of tea."
"It’s okay, I don’t like tea," Mengyu said, pointing to a stool. "Uncle Zhou, please sit. I want to talk with you about setting up a construction company."
Zhou Dasha was taken aback: "Setting up a construction company?"
Mengyu nodded very seriously: "Yes, instead of hiring another construction company and letting others make money, why don’t we earn it ourselves."
Zhou Dasha looked at Mengyu: "But if we set up a construction company, we can’t just build some houses for ourselves. We’ll need to take on projects to support the workers. Where will we find projects?"
