Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Enter the city, talk about construction, and buy a car
In the morning, after Ning Fei got up, the first thing he did was to contact a gold and silver jewelry store in Qin City.
Naturally, he was not buying jewelry, but silver needles.
He made a detailed excel form of the specifications, size, length, and number of each silver needle, which was equivalent to a custom-made one.
The owner of the jewelry store was very strange. Many customers came here to order a set of jewelry. It was also the first time he had seen someone like Ning Fei order a set of silver needles.
However, after discussing the price, the boss agreed readily.
The Needles used for acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine were all disposable sterile needles. They were convenient and affordable. Most of them were made of stainless steel.
The better ones were naturally the gold and silver needles because the needles made of these two metals were straight and smooth. They could withstand high temperature and rust, and were not easy to be corroded by chemicals.
As for the steel, copper, and iron needles, they were easy to rust. Their elasticity, toughness, and firmness were all relatively poor, so they were not considered.
The prices of gold and silver had always been so expensive. They steadily had the attribute of “Money,”which was inseparable from their characteristics.
After ordering the silver needles, Ning Fei contacted the construction team on the mountain.
There were a lot of projects on the mountain, whether it was the government’s project or the private construction of houses. Therefore, many people were engaged in occupations such as water and electricity, carpentry, and masons.
There were also a few construction teams.
In the morning, Ning Fei turned on the live broadcast and made a phone call, then went to talk to the construction team about the construction.
As the saying goes, the seller compares the seller with the seller. An average person would definitely have to compare several companies to find a project, then contact the construction party to buy construction materials. Those who had done construction knew that the profits from the construction were not much. The real profits were all in the materials.
The reason why the contractors paid so much to the leaders who made the decision for most of the public buildings was because there were many ways to make money from a project.
No matter how strict the investigation was, it was impossible to find out the kickbacks from the materials.
Simply put, even if the construction projects with five million yuan were built strictly according to the standard, they could still get a kickback of around 700,000 yuan. This was the reality.
Of course, Ning Fei was also a smart person. The construction team he found was a construction team from Qin city, including construction materials and other projects. They had everything.
“Hello, Uncle Liu, I’m here. The office on the second floor, right? Okay, I’ll be right up.”
Ning Fei came to the downstairs of the Haihe renovation project, put down the phone, and went to the second floor.
“Haha, Long Time No See, Ning Fei.”
After entering the office on the second floor, Liu Hui stood up and smiled at Ning Fei.
Liu Hui was considered a legendary figure in Qinshan village. His parents died early, and he became an orphan early on. His house in Qinshan village was only the shabbiest kind of earthen house. His family did not raise any poultry or livestock, only a bit of land.
He grew up eating a hundred kinds of food, and the one who took care of him the most was Ning Fei’s master.
Later, when he was thirteen years old, he went down to Qin city to work. Although child labor was not allowed by law, he could hire a person who worked well for 200 yuan a month. Naturally, many people fought to hire him.
At first, he worked on the construction site and moved bricks the most. Because bricks were calculated by number, he could earn the most.
Then, he started to dry mud tiles, water and electricity. He slowly worked his way up. Now, he was the boss of a renovation company.
He had suffered more than others had imagined. Such a ruthless person who had no worries and nothing to lose could always make a name for himself.
Liu Hui was also a very righteous person. Every year during the festival, he would go to the few families that had helped him send gifts, especially Qingfeng Temple. Every year during the new year, he would send pigs, sheep, fruits, and drinks box by box.
Ning Fei was still young at that time. Every year, he would look forward to Liu Hui coming over to send gifts during the festival. That way, he could eat well for the next few days.
“Uncle Liu, it’s like this. I’m planning to renovate the Taoist temple, so I came to look for you.”Ning Fei also smiled and went straight to the point.
“Renovate the Taoist temple? How are you planning to do it? Do you want to build a new gate or a water tower?”Liu Hui put down the cigarette in his hand and asked.
Other than the Sanqing Hall, which was a historical site, Qingfeng Temple had a real history. The rest of the buildings were made of bricks and mud. They couldn’t hold on much longer.
“Other than the Sanqing Hall, the rest of the buildings will be pushed.”Ning Fei naturally sat opposite Liu Hui’s desk, took out the drawing and handed it over.
“Push?”
Liu Hui was stunned.
He took the drawing and looked at it. At first, he saw the first sketch of the whole Taoist temple drawn by Ning Fei. Liu Hui smiled helplessly. He thought that Ning Fei was still too naive. He wanted to complete the project with just a drawing.
To build a project, one must first examine it and then consult the users’needs. Then, they would find a professional to design the drawing, take the water and electricity, and then carry out the construction.
It was not enough to just draw a rough outline.
However, Ning Fei’s drawing was indeed pretty good. Even Liu Hui felt that this Taoist temple was really beautiful after looking at it.
There was a garden, a fish pond, a field, a two-story small building, the Sanqing Hall in the middle, and a row of bungalows next to it were grocery rooms. It was simply a perfect design.
Liu Hui was quite interested and wanted to see what Else Ning Fei had drawn.
He took away the first sketch and when he saw the second drawing, his expression changed. He immediately frowned.
This was a very professional design drawing.
The drawing was square and the data on it was clearly marked. Those who knew could tell at a glance that it was designed by an expert.
Then, the second and third drawing...
After looking at it for a long time, Liu Hui put down the stack of drawings solemnly and asked, “Ning Fei, which design institute designed this drawing? The standard is quite high. It’s much better than the designers under me.”
“Uncle Liu, don’t ask. Can you contract the construction? Give me a price,”Ning Fei said again.
“Okay, I’ll ask my men to make the budget. Don’t worry, I can’t reduce the labor fee for the construction of Qingfeng Temple. After all, the workers need to eat. I’ll give you the cost of the materials at the factory price, which is at least 50% lower than the market price.”
“Thank you so much, uncle Liu.”
Since they had settled the deal, Ning Fei stood up and prepared to leave.
“By the way, Ning Fei, I heard Master Bai left the Taoist temple? Is there any news about him?”Before he left, Liu Hui asked with concern.
“Uncle Liu, don’t worry. My Master is fine.”Ning Fei looked very calm and did not say where his master had gone.
“That’s good.”Liu Hui nodded and said.
Then, Ning Fei left Haihe for the renovation. After Liu Hui worked out the budget for the renovation of the Taoist temple, both parties signed the contract, and the Taoist temple could start construction.
When they were discussing the contract, Ning Fei turned off the live broadcast. After he left Haihe for the renovation, he turned on the live broadcast.
The drone followed behind him. It was not a rare thing now. At most, some people would take a curious look at it once in a while.
“Abbey Dean, where are you going?”
“Wow, it’s Qin City. I’m from your hometown.”
“Where is Qin City?”
Under the curious gazes of the audience, Ning Fei walked straight into a 4s shop.
“So it’s to buy a car.”
“The Blood Pearl Ganoderma has been sold for so much money. It’s time to buy a car.”
“I want to see the Abbey Dean’s taste.”
“I heard that the cars in Qin city are very famous. There are several cars made here.”
Ning Fei had just entered the 4s shop when the sales lady quickly walked up to him with a smile on her face. She asked, “Hello, Sir. What kind of car would you like to see?”
“Off-road,”Ning Fei said straightforwardly.
“Okay, this way please, sir.”The sales lady stretched out her hand to lead the way. Her service attitude was very good. She could see that Ning Fei really wanted to buy a car.
A salesperson could see everything from all directions. When they saw the customer’s expression, they could roughly guess what the other party was thinking.
For example, some people were hesitant. With one look, it was obvious that they felt that the price was high. Then, the salesperson would recommend a car with a lower price and say a few benefits. Basically, the other party would buy it.
The sales lady led Ning Fei to the SUV area. Ning Fei’s attention was immediately attracted by one of the cars.
It was his favorite model: Jeep Wrangler.
Since its birth, Wrangler has been the ultimate desire of the world’s off-road enthusiasts. It symbolizes freedom and passion, as well as the pursuit of a more pure lifestyle.
From a young age, Ning Fei liked two kinds of cars, one is a sports car, and the other is an off-road vehicle. The former represents the prosperity of the city, and the latter represents the ambition of conquest.
Although he was penniless at that time, he still had to daydream.
Whether it could be realized or not, the key was that daydreaming was comfortable.
He did not have much money now, and the demand for off-road vehicles was greater. Therefore, he bought an off-road vehicle this time.
“Sir, you have a good eye. This is the latest 2020 Wrangler,”the sales lady immediately said.
The Wrangler’s image had always been domineering. The eternal seven-hole air intake grille, the wide front bumper, the external engine cover lock, the exposed door hinge, the trapezoid wheel eyebrows, and so on.., were all its unique representatives.
“A good car,”Ning Fei praised. He already had the intention to buy it.
