Chapter 446 Business Belongs to Business
In the open space of the B&B construction site, more than 20 workers were chatting sparsely around.
"Do you think this new boss can pay off all his previous wages?"
"I'm bored. It would be nice to be able to tie up some of them."
"That's not possible. All must be settled, otherwise I won't do it."
"Quit? Then where are you going? There are old people and children at home, are you willing to leave them behind?"
Just as everyone was talking about it, someone shouted: "The boss is here."
Everyone turned and looked over, and then immediately surrounded Qin Hao, asking him for his salary.
Xu Hongdou was separated from the crowd and looked at Qin Hao worriedly.
Qin Hao raised his hand calmly: "If you want a salary, listen to me first. After I finish speaking, if you have any questions, ask them one by one. If you are making such a fuss, I will If you can’t hear, how can you solve the problem?”
The workers immediately fell silent, but still surrounded Qin Hao, as if they were afraid that he would run away.
Qin Hao said calmly: "First of all, let's talk about wages. Since I have taken over the B&B, I will be responsible for settling the wages owed to you by the previous boss. In a moment, you will register your working hours, daily salary, and bank card number. Come down and after the calculation is clear, it will be credited to your bank card within a week."
After receiving Qin Hao's promise to honor their wages, the workers' faces also became happy.
Seeing this, Qin Hao added: "There is one more thing. If you are willing to continue to complete the next project of the B&B, I hope you can nominate a person in charge to directly connect with me. As for me, I have nothing to do with the previous project. The boss is different. I don’t like trouble. In order to improve work efficiency and reduce communication costs, I will entrust all the remaining projects to this person in charge. I only care about the quality and progress of the project. As for other things, Rixin is good. Regardless of working hours, I can communicate with the person in charge privately.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the workers were furious. Before, they were working on their own, but now Qin Hao actually asked them to find one person to manage everyone, and also contracted all the projects to this person in charge. The workers started a heated discussion. Some were opposed to this model, while others felt that as long as the wages were settled clearly, it didn't matter. Some were already thinking about whether they could take over the project and become the foreman. People should move on to higher ground. .
Seeing that everyone had been discussing for a long time but still could not recommend a suitable candidate, Qin Hao said loudly: "If we don't have a suitable candidate, I will have to find an outside construction team to do the rest of the project."
As soon as Qin Hao said this, the workers stopped working.
"Xiao Weiwei, you are the oldest here, why don't you do it?"
"Me? I can't do it. I haven't even graduated from elementary school and I can't even do the calculations. I think Xiaojun is more suitable. He can write and do math after graduating from high school."
"I can't do it. I've only been working for a few years and I don't understand many things."
"Xiaojun, please don't refuse, otherwise no one will be able to do this job. Otherwise, if you don't understand anything, we will just teach you, and we can all discuss it together."
A young man in his twenties was elected by everyone. The young man had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
"Since everyone trusts me, I'll give it a try."
Qin Hao nodded: "In that case, let's start from now on. You register their working hours, daily records and bank card numbers. Then come directly to Youfeng Xiaoyuan and hand them over to me. I will check with the previous boss. All previous wages will be paid off. As for the remaining project contracting, you can calculate the quantity of the project yourself, how many people and working hours are needed, and report it to me. If the price is right, the next project will be left to you."
Xie Xiaojun subconsciously looked back at the workers. The workers thought Qin Hao's plan was not bad, so they urged him to accept it.
"good."
Then the workers began to gather around Xie Xiaojun to register, while Qin Hao led Xu Hongdou out of the construction site.
"You seem to know a lot about these things." Xu Hongdou held Qin Hao's arm and said with a smile.
Qin Hao smiled: "Otherwise, why do you think I would rush to take over the B&B? I never do anything I'm not sure about."
"I said you were fat and you still had asthma." Xu Hongdou joked: "I don't believe you can do anything."
Qin Hao said seriously: "Don't say it, I really don't know how to do it."
"What?"
"Won't have a baby."
"rogue."
When Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou slowly returned to the windy courtyard, Xie Zhiyao ran over before their buttocks were still hot.
"Are you really planning to let Xie Xiaojun be the foreman?"
Qin Hao was happy: "You know it so soon?"
Xie Zhiyao said with a sad face: "You don't know the situation of Xie Xiaojun's family. His mother is paralyzed in bed and cannot take care of herself all year round. If this order goes wrong."
"Because of this, Xie Xiaojun needs such an opportunity even more. If this job is completed, he will be able to jump from a worker to a contractor. Not only can he make more money, but he can even make a fortune from this." Qin Hao interrupted.
“Mr. If you don’t do it well, how will you know if you don’t try it?”
Xie Zhiyao was speechless for a moment: "I'm just afraid of him."
"Are you afraid that he will lose money? Or are you afraid that I will cheat him?"
Xie Zhiyao was a little embarrassed and was about to say something.
Qin Hao raised his hand to stop him: "Mr. No one with a normal IQ will engage in loss-making business. The quotation Xie Xiaojun gave me will definitely leave enough profit margin for myself. As long as the job is done well, I don’t care if he makes some money and I won’t over-squeeze him. Yes, after all, my B&B will be operating in the village for many years, and I will not offend the villagers easily."
Hearing what Qin Hao said, Xie Zhiyao looked ashamed: "Old Qin, I"
"Okay, I know you didn't mean that, so I asked you not to get involved, so as not to put you in a dilemma."
"Old Qin, you make me don't know what to say. Thank you, you have been thinking about me." Xie Zhiyao said movedly.
Qin Hao smiled and scolded: "Don't be so stupid, hurry up and do your own things. I have been worrying about everything every day, and my hair has become gray."
After sending Xie Zhiyao away, it didn't take long for Xie Xiaojun to come with a notebook.
"Sit down." Qin Hao called him to the dining table in the small kitchen.
Xu Hongdou also poured him a glass of water, as if she was a hostess entertaining guests, but she didn't notice it herself.
Xie Xiaojun sat down opposite Qin Hao awkwardly. His butt felt like there were nails on the chair. He didn't dare to sit down firmly. He carefully watched Qin Hao's expression.
After reading the account book, Qin Hao said to Xie Xiaojun.
"Okay, just leave this account book with me first, and I will transfer the money to their bank card later. It should arrive in a day or two."
Xie Xiaojun obviously couldn't believe it: "It's so fast, but boss, didn't you say you want to check with the previous boss?"
"There is something wrong with the previous boss's family, so there is no need to disturb them for this little money. Besides, I also believe in your character, so there is no need to check."
After Qin Hao finished speaking, Xie Xiaojun said with a grateful face: "Then I will thank the boss for them."
Xu Hongdou heard this and almost laughed out loud, thinking to himself: This liar.
Obviously, any belief in their character is just rhetoric. If you really believed it, you would not have defrauded them before. Most likely, the previous boss was careless and did not record working hours.
"What do you think of the remaining projects? Have you calculated how long it will take to complete?"
Xie Xiaojun sat up straight after hearing this and said seriously: "Boss, I have to go back and calculate this. I don't know much about things like carpentry and bricklaying. I have to ask the masters first to calculate the specific working hours."
Qin Hao nodded. As he said to Xie Zhiyao before, no one is a fool. Xie Xiaojun obviously has his own considerations, but Qin Hao doesn't care. The main reason why he chooses a contractor is to save some unnecessary things. Otherwise, with the construction experience he accumulated during his golden years, he could have kept an eye on it all by himself.
"Okay, then come up with a plan for me as soon as possible so that we can start work as soon as possible."
After Xie Xiaojun left, Qin Hao saw Xu Hongdou staring at him, so he asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just discovered your profiteer face today." Xu Hongdou said with a smile.
Qin Hao rolled his eyes: "Please, I didn't even pay them correctly, so I just paid them wages. How can I become a profiteer?"
"There's obviously no place to check the accounts, right?"
"Do you know that you will have no friends in the future if you are so smart?"
"hehe."
Qin Hao sighed: "The previous boss left in a hurry. It is said that he left the ledger in the hotel. He also called the hotel to ask, but he couldn't find it. Originally he said that this part of the salary could be borne by him, but I think His wife was undergoing chemotherapy and needed money urgently, so she gave him an extra 200,000 yuan."
When Xu Hongdou heard about chemotherapy, he thought of Chen Nanxing. His originally smiling face suddenly became clouded, and his eyes became moist.
Seeing this, Qin Hao took Xu Hongdou into his arms and gently patted her back to comfort her: "Remember her again?"
"Yes." Xu Hongdou leaned on Qin Hao's shoulder, her tears slowly dripping down, and she rubbed them subconsciously. Unknowingly, Qin Hao's shoulder became wet.
"It's okay, it will get better."
Xu Hongdou didn't know whether what Qin Hao said about getting better was the condition of the wife of the former owner of the B&B, or her heart disease, but the other party's warm embrace still made her feel a lot better.
Two days later, Xie Xiaojun also came to Youfeng Xiaoyuan with his plan. After an hour-long negotiation, Qin Hao finally contracted the remaining project to Xie Xiaojun at a price of 500,000. As for the future wages of the workers, Yes, it's none of his business.
To this end, the two parties also drafted a contract, writing the responsibilities of both parties into the contract. Qin Hao only needs to provide funds according to the progress of the project, and Xie Xiaojun is responsible for all the remaining construction, and the completion date of the B&B must be within three Within a month, after exceeding the limit, Xie Xiaojun needs to pay compensation.
After signing the contract, Xie Xiaojun called on the workers to continue the construction. The materials at the previous construction site were all ready-made, and soon the construction site returned to its previous bustling scene.
Qin Hao only visited the site occasionally to check the quality of the project. The rest of the time he was basically with Xu Hongdou. Xu Hongdou, who was in the stage of love, was much more enthusiastic than before.
On this day, Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou were strolling in the village when they saw a car slowly driving into the village. Many villagers chatted enthusiastically with the car owner along the way.
After the car drove away and Xu Hongdou listened to the villagers chatting on the roadside, she realized that this was Xie Zhiyao's father.
Not long after, Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou bumped into Xie Zhiyao at the door of Grandma Xie's house.
"What's wrong, Mr. Xie, isn't your dad back? Why is he still looking sad?" Qin Hao teased.
Xie Zhiyao's face was filled with bitterness: "It's because he's back that I'm worried. Do you know what's the biggest obstacle I encounter when I return to Yunmiao Village? It's not that I don't have money, it's that he makes trouble with me all day long."
As he spoke, Xie Zhiyao began to complain, saying how his father locked the warehouse door to prevent people from going to work, and how he took a bottle of dichlorvos filled with honey water and went to the village committee to threaten not to grant a loan to Xie Zhiyao. The guarantees, one after another, are simply too numerous to describe.
But Xu Hongdou became more and more amused as she listened: "Mr. Xie, you are having a lot of fun fighting with others."
"Can you still have some sympathy? This time when the old man comes back, he will definitely ask me to return to the capital."
Just as he was talking, Xie Siping came out of the house and glared at Xie Zhiyao: "What are you doing standing at the door, are you afraid that I will eat you?"
The corners of Xie Zhiyao's mouth twitched: "No, aren't we meeting friends? Let's chat."
Xie Siping looked at Qin Hao and Xu Hongdou for a while: "I don't know, are you tourists from other places?"
Before Qin Hao opened his mouth, Xie Zhiyao introduced: "To be precise, no, this person has bought the B&B in the village and will be his own from now on."
"Oh." Xie Siping looked at Qin Hao with a look that looked at a catcher, but it almost said on his face: Is this man mentally ill?
"We haven't seen you for a long time, so we won't bother you. See you later." Qin Hao ignored Xie Zhiyao's eyes asking for help and left directly with Xu Hongdou.
Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but mutter: There is no loyalty.
Seeing his son muttering there and refusing to enter the house, Xie Siping said angrily: "What's so interesting? Everyone is in pairs. You are the only one who has been single for so many years. Are you planning to make our old Xie family have no offspring?" Or something."
"Then there is Ayuan, don't worry, the Xie family will never be the queen."
Xie Siping was immediately furious: "Don't give me that playful smile, come in quickly. Day by day, you don't do such a good job in the capital, and run back to this remote country."
Xie Zhiyao rolled his eyes: Yes, here we go again.
