Beating the New First-tier: Starting from Abandoned Gas Stations

Chapter 35 The Red-Eyed Contractor
"Even if I might suffer a little injustice as a live-in son-in-law in the Su family, it's still a thousand times better than staying in an abandoned gas station in the Gobi Desert!"

Mr. Sun on the other end of the phone clicked his tongue twice.

I can hear it.

His tone was full of the flavor of enjoying the show and watching the joke.

"That's right! In fact, he couldn't hold on any longer, and now he's just stubbornly holding on!"

Zhang Quan angrily complained and then asked in a low voice,
"Mr. Sun, what do you think?"

"I've already checked on your behalf! That gas station is commercial, not residential, and you can't register it in Shayang County."

Pause for a moment.

Mr. Sun replied slowly.

"Ah? Can't land? What should I do then?"

Hearing this answer, Zhang Quan, who has been in the business world for more than ten years, looked very surprised and disappointed, but his face was very calm, as if to say, "I knew you would say that."

Because this is the starting term when asking someone to do something!
as predicted,

Mr. Sun's voice soon came again.

"It's true that we can't get a deal in the county, but that abandoned gas station has permanent ownership. As long as we find someone in the city and apply some policies, there's still hope! But we have to find the right person."

"Boss Sun, Boss Shen asked me to come to you because he knows that others can't do this, but you, Boss Sun, may be able to do it! He also asked me to bring you some specialties from Fuzhou.

And he specifically instructed me to hand these specialties over to you in person!"

Zhang Quan curled his lips.

The so-called Mr. Sun is named Sun Haiyang. In fact, he is not a big boss. He is just the head of the branch of a certain state-owned enterprise real estate in Xia State in Gequan City. He can only be regarded as a small middle-level manager without any administrative level.

But it is undeniable that Sun Haiyang does have a wide network of contacts in Gequan City, a sixth-tier prefecture-level city.

"Boss Shen, what a fool! We're all acquaintances, so what's the point of talking about local specialties? I'll definitely do my best to help you. By the way, did you bring Shen Chuan's household registration booklet?"

Sun Haiyang laughed and asked immediately.

"Although the household registration booklet has been sent out, as you know about the express delivery situation here, it has not been received yet."

Only at this point did Zhang Quan breathe a sigh of relief.

Sun Haiyang asked about the household registration book, which showed that it was almost certain that Shen Chuan had settled in the gas station.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, where are you now? Your sister-in-law is almost done cooking, so come over to her house for a quick meal."

Sun Haiyang said again.

"That's so embarrassing."

"Don't be polite, I'll send you a location!"

"Then I'd better obey your command. It's a good opportunity to taste my sister-in-law."

After all,

Zhang Quan glanced at the trunk and got into his SUV again.

Time flies, and it is four o'clock in the afternoon.

Gobi Desert,
The gas station, which was a mess in the morning, has become a completely different place.

The main body of the new snow shelter has been installed, and more than a dozen workers are debugging the photovoltaic panels on it. The two new refueling machines on the snow shelter have also been replaced.

That's not counting,

Standing on the ruins of the living area, you can see two large drilling equipment working frantically three or four hundred meters west of the gas station.

"Boss Shen, do you mean we can subcontract the work in sections?"

Inside the business hall,
Shen Chuan was talking to four men, with a few cups of freshly brewed tea in front of them.

These four men were the contractors who came after hearing the news and wanted to take on the job.

Liang Xun and Lu Fang were not in the business hall. Originally, Shen Chuan had considered holding a simple bidding meeting and hiring the one with the lowest price, but then he realized that using a single contractor wouldn't speed up the construction process. The most urgent task now was to build the supply point as quickly as possible and not embarrass Yang Xing.

So Shen Chuan changed his mind again.

It was decided to work quickly by subcontracting, with each contractor responsible for a section, so that the speed could be increased to the fastest possible level.

“Well, it’s not that I don’t want to subcontract, but my project is mostly based on ancient buildings, and your people may not be able to take it!”

Shen Chuan nodded.

Ever since Shen Chuan learned about the level of ancient architecture in Xia Country, he knew that if he wanted to design those ancient buildings in the future, he had to do it himself!

Even the engineering architects of the top state-owned construction companies in Xia Country can't handle a random design drawing.
What’s more, these are local contractors.

"So Mr. Shen wants to build a super rare replica of an ancient building. This is quite difficult."

The four of them looked at each other in surprise, and it was obvious that two of them had already backed out.

Simply because they have not been involved in such a project so far.

Do not!
It should be said that not many contractors in the entire Xisu Province have undertaken such projects.

"Mr. Lu called me and said they were going to rebuild a residential area next to our gas station. I thought it was a normal project. If I had known it was an ancient building, I wouldn't have come."

After a pause,
One of them spoke up.

"Actually, it's not as difficult as you think. The initial stage is no different from building a normal house! And as you can see, some of my building materials are already in place! You just need to focus on the construction.
I will do the difficult parts myself.”

Seeing the four people worried,

Shen Chuan immediately said again.

In the afternoon, large quantities of building materials, bathroom fixtures and other materials purchased from the system have been delivered one after another by express delivery. Now they are all placed behind the business hall, like a small mountain.

"Mr. Shen, do you mean we'll take care of the earthwork, foundation, water and electricity, and we don't have to worry about the rest?"

After listening to Shen Chuan's explanation, a contractor showed a lot of interest in his eyes.

The same was true for the other three.

What attracted them was not Shen Chuan’s “comfort”, but Shen Chuan’s words that you don’t have to worry about the building materials!
This means they hardly have to advance any funds.

The current environment,

As long as there is no advance payment, it is definitely the best quality project!
"Yes!"

"So how does Mr. Shen plan to settle the project payment?"

Ponder for a moment,
A contractor asked tentatively.

"We'll first negotiate the contract price for each part of the project. Once the price is agreed upon, we'll settle the payment based on the progress of the project! For example, if your subcontracted project passes acceptance, we can settle the payment normally."

Shen Chuan replied.

"How long is the normal payment cycle? Half a year or so?"

The contractor asked again.

Settlement according to progress is an old model and is not uncommon. What they care most about is the arrival time. Some units approved the payment order very early, but they don’t know when the payment will be made.

Half a year is short!

Some people even used their houses to pay off their debts after several years.

“The funds will be credited on the same day.”

Shen Chuan said.

"Ah? Deposited on the same day?"

bass!
As soon as Shen Chuan finished speaking, the four contractors suddenly stood up. In their eyes, besides deep disbelief, one could even see some tiny bloodshot.
