Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 98 Not enough money

Sunset Mountain...

This is the name that the mountain eagle gave to its mountain!
When Mountain Eagle drove to the top of Sunset Mountain, Big Mouth had already arrived...

Watching a dark-skinned woman and a young woman wearing a straw hat diligently cleaning the bar of the cafe...

Shanying got out of the car and hugged Big Mouth, who came up to him, and said with a smile: "Sorry, I'm late. Is that your wife and daughter?"

Da Zui was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook his head and said, "Of course not, my wife is in the countryside and my two children are studying in an international school.

They came from Cambodia, and I felt sorry for them, so I asked her to cook for the workers."

Shanying heard this, smiled and nodded to the dark-skinned woman, and when he wanted to greet the younger one, the younger one lowered her head...

Shanying didn't care. He turned around, picked up the two puppies from the car and put them in the shade of the bar...

Seeing Baran urinating in a hurry and then circling the entire mountain, Mountain Eagle spread his hands to the big mouth that obviously knew Baran and said, "This is all the trouble caused by the killer bees..."

Big Mouth looked at Baran's sturdy figure, shook his head and said, "Baran is a good dog and a good soldier, but it's a pity that his trainer is so bad...

Treat it well!

Your place is a bit remote, and there is no way to build a wall for such a large place. A good dog is more useful than a gun!"

After that, Big Mouth made a gesture and walked towards the top of the mountain, saying, "I just took a quick look. The interiors of the two completed houses are not decorated. There is no water or electricity on the top of the mountain. The location of the septic tank has been planned, but it has not been excavated...

There are also building materials for another four houses on it. This is a big project. How are you going to do it? "

After hearing this, Shanying touched his purse and said helplessly: "My budget is limited...

The most important thing now is to build a water tower, and then dig sewers and septic tanks, if you have the channels. I want to replace the roofs of both houses with photovoltaic panels.

All that’s left is to clear away all the unused building materials, and it would be nice to turn the remaining land into a vegetable garden or something.”

After hearing this, Big Mouth said with a bit of regret: "That's it? This is such a waste of space!"

Shanying touched his purse and said, "It's a bit difficult for me to pay even with this. You have to give me a discount, otherwise I'm worried that I won't have enough money to pay..."

As they talked, they reached the top of the mountain, where there were already four workers working...

Compared with the Thai workers who were slacking off in the office, the four workers brought by Big Mouth were obviously much more diligent.

Four workers who didn't look strong, with their dark upper bodies bare, were sorting out the randomly piled building materials, picking out the rotten wood and neatly stacking the ones that could still be used together...

It was obvious from the temperament of these people that they were not Thai. Shanying looked at Dazui with some curiosity and asked, "Who are these people?"

Dazui spread his hands and said, "These are all people from my wife's hometown...

My wife is Cambodian. She fled to Thailand more than ten years ago. I met her at the border when I was in the army. "

As he spoke, Dazui looked at the Cambodians who were working hard and said with a smile: "They all came illegally from Cambodia...

Some of them work for me and save money to send back home, while others, after earning some money and settling down, go find jobs elsewhere.

To be honest, if their salaries weren't so low, my construction company wouldn't be able to survive!"

Shanying compared several Cambodians who worked very hard, and then thought about those Thais who were slacking off in the office. These Cambodians seemed particularly cost-effective.

It's not that he's simply pursuing cheapness, but as a pure Chinese, Shanying has long been accustomed to that kind of efficient model...

Shanying gave Big Mouth a thumbs up and said with a smile: "I don't know what the problem is with using illegal immigrants in Thailand, but I think it's good."

Big Mouth said distressedly: "The result of using illegal immigrants in Thailand is that if there is no one to protect me, I can only take some housing construction and maintenance work in rural areas.

Otherwise, if I touch any money-making projects, I may be reported at any time and fined until I go bankrupt.

If Killer Bee hadn't called me yesterday, I would have been ready to disband this group of people and find a way to take on the task myself." As Big Mouth looked at the large open space around him, he said with a hint of expectation: "Mountain Eagle, are you really not going to do a better job?
Most of the materials you have here are already there, and it would be a waste not to use them.”

Shanying shook his head decisively and said, “First you have to tell me how much it will cost to solve the water and electricity problem.

Brother, I still owe Blood Fox $30..."

Big Mouth looked at Shanying with a bit of sympathy, and pulled him to the gate of a gable-shaped house...

In order to face the sea view directly from the yard, the main doors of the two gabled triangular houses are on the east side, and the backyard and balcony facing the sea are on the west side.

The spire of the house is nearly 8 meters above the ground, but because of the inclination of the walls, the interior of the house appears to be quite large. However, the area where people can move freely is only about square meters on both floors.

The hard decoration inside the house has basically been completed, including the ceiling, floor, floor tiles, bathroom, and kitchen. As long as the water and electricity are connected and the planned septic tank is completed, and we buy furniture, curtains and other things, we can move in.

The overall tone of the house is modern industrial style, with oversized glass curtain walls in the front and back of the house to ensure that neither the mountain view nor the sea view will be missed.

Honestly, the person who designed this house has a good aesthetic sense. The house looks very high-end and modern, but this thing is non-mainstream...

Non-mainstream also means that if you want to decorate it to make it suitable for human habitation, you need to spend more money.

Big Mouth pulled Mountain Eagle to sit on the steps in front of the house, took out a pen and paper and said with a smile: "The sewage system is the simplest, the developer has basically completed it, we just need to clean up the mess.

Water is also an easy fix...

There is a ready-made spring at the foot of the mountain. You can ask workers to use channel steel as a support and buy a large polyethylene barrel to make a water tower that is large enough for you to use. Install a small water pump underneath and then install a filtration system to ensure the safety of water use.

Electricity is a bit troublesome. Solar panels are indeed good, but the rainy season in Thailand is very long. Solar energy alone cannot guarantee you electricity 365 days a year. You also have to build a generator room and install a set of fuel-fired power generation equipment to ensure basic electricity needs.

Interior decoration is more expensive, but if you have the drawings, my workers can use the wood on site to help you finish most of the furniture inside the house, and you only need to buy sofas and appliances.

The vegetable garden on the open space is very simple. Just use wood to mark the location, spread some nutritious soil and you can grow vegetables..."

He talked and wrote for a long time, and finally said: "All these together will cost about 400 million baht..."

400 million Thai baht is 11 US dollars, which sounds exaggerated, but Shanying is knowledgeable and he knows that Big Mouth's offer is very conscientious.

Seeing Dazui's grinning face, Shanying covered his pocket and said with a bitter face: "Can you give me a better discount?"

Big Mouth shook his head decisively and said, "The money cannot be any less, but if you have any special requirements, you can put them forward. As long as it can be completed with the materials on site, the workers can help you get it done."

Shanying was actually just bargaining out of habit. Although the "discount" given by Big Mouth was additional labor, he was still very satisfied...

Glancing at the Cambodian workers who hadn't rested since he showed up, he gritted his teeth and said, "How long will it take?"

Big Mouth thought for a moment and said, “It depends on the weather, but it’s almost November and the rain will be less, so it will be completed in two months at most.

You pay 200 million baht first, and the rest will be paid after the project is completed...

Don't worry, I can't guarantee that I'm better than others, but I'm definitely not worse than others!"

Shanying listened, nodded and said: "I will transfer the money to you as soon as I get back, as soon as possible.

I wasn’t too worried before, but now I have to think of something…”

Just when Shanying was considering asking Xuehu to take on some work, he saw several workers pointing at the sea and screaming...

When Shanying circled to the backyard of the house, he saw a ship in the sea in the distance with thick smoke coming out...

Then he received a call from Luo Yang...

"Boss, there was an accident on a yacht at sea, and the Tourism Police called us for support..."
