Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 249 Construction Company

It was indeed a bit too much to ask two ordinary people to do this work. Li Weidong looked at the two of them and became suspicious of his own way of pushing back others!

But what should the two brothers do? Do they want to do high-risk, low-return work like a construction team? That won't work. This is different from what he originally expected!

And it’s not like you just start working on high-rise buildings. You still have to do some small projects first. Nowadays, in some small counties, there are projects with several floors everywhere!

After working on a few jobs to gain experience, and working on three or five jobs, you will feel confident, and naturally you will dare to take on some big projects!

Li Weidong looked at the two of them again and found that although he said he didn't dare to do it, his expression was a little excited now. What man doesn't have a little bit of career ambition, but he just doesn't have the ability!

Li Weidong said: "There are many talents, and there are also people who are willing to work. As long as the salary is high enough, there is no one who cannot be hired. Besides, the provincial construction industry also has a construction team, why should we use yours?"

"Construction matters are very deep. If you haven't done it before, you definitely don't know what's going on. So it's best to try it out on your own. If you succeed, you will be disappointed if you don't!"

The two people were obviously moved, or they had this idea originally, but now that Li Weidong said this, it was directly expressed.

Li Weimin tentatively said: "I heard that many projects require advance funding. Some jobs may not be paid even half of the money after they are completed. We don't have that much money to put in!"

Li Weidong scratched his head and knew that this was also a big problem. Many projects were started without start-up capital, and they were all contracted with labor and materials. There was no situation where A provided materials at all.

In the end, many construction companies will not be able to get the full amount of the money, but they cannot give up because they will no longer work in this industry, and this problem will not be solved until 20 years later.

You, Weidong, can naturally see what your brother and brother-in-law mean. It's hard to say whether you want him to buy shares, but it's certain you want to borrow money.

Li Weidong said: "The money thing is easy to handle. If you two want to do it, get the money from me first!"

As for whether to repay it in the future, it depends on the two of them. Of course, Li Weidong still hopes that they will repay it. It is not a matter of money, but that his brother and brother-in-law are not such people.

The two of them thought about how much money they could make in this industry. They also learned from the project manager that although the profit margin was not high, the total project contract amount was extremely large!

Therefore, the final profit, even if it is only a few points of profit margin, is terrifyingly high.

However, there will be many problems faced, and various risks will exist. Problems will occur in any link between man, machine, material, law, and the environment.

Regarding borrowing money, the two of them naturally thought that Li Weidong had money. As their nearest relative, when they were short of money, they naturally thought of Li Weidong. There was nothing wrong with that.

This cannot be said to be greedy, but rather human social instinct. If there is a rich relative, no one wants to cling to him. Anyone who doesn't think so will not be able to cling to him.

It's just that it's easy to borrow money, but if you lose money, it won't be easy to pay it back. This thing isn't worth a hundred or eighty thousand, and it has to be worth tens or even millions to play it!

The two looked at each other, and then Gao Anbang said: "We have discussed that if we contract the project ourselves, not to mention poaching people as you just mentioned, even the advance payment, we can't bear it!"

"With the abilities of the two of us, we definitely can't do it, so we thought of forming a construction team and working with the construction company to do the construction. They eat meat and we drink soup!"

"Listening to what you said, it seems like this is really the case. You have to rely on other people's leftovers to drink soup. They also have their own construction teams. Why should we make this money?"

Gao Anbang asked: "How about you invest some money and let's do it together?"

Li Weidong waved his hand and said: "You do your thing, I won't interfere!"

Just because he can invest in factories and businesses and have them managed by unrelated people does not mean that he can do business with his biological brothers.

He has the final say in his business. If he doesn't like it, he can open the top management, but his brother and brother-in-law can't. They can give him money directly, but he won't participate.

Gao Anbang and Li Weimin were not upset when they saw Li Weidong's simple refusal. This was all in their imaginations.

"Okay, this is what we borrowed from you to give you an IOU, and we will pay it back to you right away!" Gao Anbang said.

Then the two looked at each other, and Li Weimin said: "We have calculated before that if we build a project like the cement factory office building, the start-up capital will be at least one million yuan!"

Li Weidong shook his head and said: "What is one million enough for? I'll give you five million. If it's not enough, wait and see!"

Contracting factories require a lot of bid deposits, and even more if they need to advance capital. One million is definitely not enough. Of course, they don't dare to take on projects like that with advance capital!

A construction company not only needs people with connections, but also needs some building materials and tools. Even purchasing these things requires a large amount of money. The more money, the better!

Gao Anbang also said more simply: "Okay, we will issue you an IOU and prepare it first!"

"There will definitely be a lot of work. The city recently awarded contracts for several projects, and there must be subcontractors. Let's see if we can get the work. We can start it in the spring next year!"

Li Weidong agreed with his brother-in-law's straightforwardness. If he wanted to work, he should be decisive and quick. Moreover, they were certainly not idle, at least they were still paying attention to several projects in the city!

Nowadays, it is normal to contract and then subcontract. You have no relationship to get this project to you. Many small construction companies can only subcontract projects from some leather companies.

Some projects may have changed hands several times. The profit margin was originally quite high, but after layers of peeling, the profit naturally decreased, and the project naturally turned into a shoddy project.

Li Weidong saw that they accepted his loan, so he didn't say anything. It was so difficult for him to borrow money from others, that is, his younger brother, otherwise he would have been slapped!

After the business was finished, a few people started chatting. Li Weidong asked casually: "You no longer work in the hollow brick factory, have your shares been withdrawn?"

Gao Anbang said: "No, there is no way to withdraw. The business of the hollow brick factory was not very good at the beginning. It's okay for him to leave. It would be inappropriate to withdraw the shares!"

Li Weidong thought for a while, and he seemed to have made the same mistake as Zhao Dongsheng and Song Guofeng. He thought about withdrawing his shares when he quit, shaking his head and smiling to himself.

Then he said: "It doesn't matter if you don't withdraw, the hollow brick factory is definitely not bad, and you can definitely make money!"

Both of them remained silent. The hollow brick factory looked prosperous, but internal conflicts persisted. In the final analysis, it was a problem with the management. Everyone had shares and wanted to be counted on what they said!

Li Weimin and Gao Anbang withdrew from management, making their management power more concentrated and conflicts more acute. This is the disadvantage of doing business as a partnership. If it is not solved, problems will arise sooner or later!

Now that it is prosperous again, the contradictions will naturally be hidden. If the situation is bad, the contradictions will break out again.

Li Weidong looked at the expressions of the two people and roughly guessed what was going on. When he started the instigation, he expected that such a problem would arise, and even three chapters of agreement were of no use!

At that time, everyone was short of money, and the common enemy was poverty. Now that we are rich, our needs have changed. We will never return to the shared joys and sorrows in the early days of starting a business, and will only drift away.

Li Weidong said: "Let's see who is free. Let's have dinner together tomorrow night. We haven't seen each other for a long time. No matter what, we are brothers!"

Li Weidong is often away from home. There are a few close brothers in the village who can usually take care of him.

Li Weimin said with a smile: "You don't have to wait for tomorrow, they will probably be here soon. I know you are coming back, and I have already said it several times!"
