Chapter 575 575. The excavator is coming
The people who dug the wells on the mountain have arrived - it's not that the family is inefficient, they hired such talented people, but it's actually that now that tap water is connected to the village, all the wells are slowly being abandoned.
The well diggers couldn't get any work, so these old men were busy with their own affairs. They waited for so many days because they still had to save manpower.
Fortunately, we finally got together three people. They came early in the morning and went to the marked place on the mountain for a walk. When they came back, they brought the equipment and quoted:
"It's not easy to hit! One is on the top of the mountain. It's full of rocks. You need to use a drill first. The other two are also on the top of other mountains. The angles are very tricky... You not only have to pump out water, but you also have to repair the pool and well. It’s expensive!”
“And you want to find a water outlet every other section, and build canals in series... Then after all, you need more than ten places before and after.”
Discuss with the locals, that's the matter of Wulan, just listen to her, "It's almost the same as the location, it is almost a matter of time!
The location is not decided, but roughly circled - Professor Song has been here for a few days and has already made a basic plan with Yan Ran and others, and they have a route for how to dig the canal.
Within this route, it would be more convenient to have more water outlets on the top of the mountain.
The three big men discussed it for a while and made an honest offer: "The one on the top of the mountain is 1,000! We'll cover it! And also repair the pool... You can find a cheaper one in a good place, 500. We'll slowly look for the others in the past two days. 600 each.”
“It’s too expensive!” Ulan said resolutely: “The other villages ahead asked you to dig wells, and it only cost 400!”
“You also said that we hired the ones from the village. The flat land is full of dirt, which is different from the ones on the mountains! Let’s talk about our machine. It takes a lot of effort to lift it up..."
“I have a tricycle. I’ll give you a tricycle... it needs to be cheaper! Let’s do this, the rest is 400...”
The two parties went back and forth, fighting each other, and finally succeeded in setting the price according to Ulan's idea.
After the others went up the mountain, Ulan smiled with satisfaction: "The price is not bad, it's fair."
Then you still look like you are reluctant to admit defeat and have no choice but to do so?
"What do you know!" Wu Lan glanced at a group of people who didn't know how to make a living: "They are all labor costs, and there is no guarantee of high or low. If you pose like this, people will think that the price is worth it. I feel good when I’m alive.”
Song Tan:…
At this moment, she also received a call—
【Super Affordable Excavator Brother】
Ehhhhh?
On the other end of the phone, the excavator guy’s voice was a little twitchy and shy:
“What about that, sister, will the excavator be working on your mountain recently?”
If you want it, why don’t you want it? She has two to three hundred acres of mountains! If you don’t rely on an excavator, you will have to work until you grow old!
but…
“Is it possible in such a hot day?”
"It can be done!" The excavator boy's voice was full of excitement: "I start working at four or five in the morning and finish at ten. I start at five in the afternoon and finish at seven or eight. I can steadily work one shift a day. , it must be eight hours!”
“Then how do you charge for this?”
The new hilltop is not as good as the back hill. There are no rocks on the back hill, but there are hillsides with high and low rocks, shrubs, trees and weeds. The excavator comes from the suburbs, and the starting fee is one thousand.
“No more, no more!” The other party said happily: “It’s 1,500 a day for food and accommodation, how about that? Is that okay?”
How is it? Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry, so he bargained symbolically:
“Isn’t it a bit expensive?”
Song Tan knew the price of the excavator when the back mountain construction started, and the young man was so honest. She actually had a good impression and trust. At this moment, she was confused:
“Komatsu? Didn’t you drive that Kobelco last time you came here?”
Even though she seems to understand what she said, she actually only learned about brand science when she chatted with the person in charge of the engineering team last time. But the excavator guy didn’t know, and he just sighed: “Sister, you are so knowledgeable now. Last time I drove my cousin’s excavator, but he doesn’t make it now, and the excavator is given to someone else. I bought a second-hand one myself.”
Actually, he wanted his cousin’s machine, but his cousin owed an online loan, and he was obsessed with money... and finally gave up.
"Ah, you can do it!" Song Tan was a little surprised: "A second-hand one costs hundreds of thousands, right?"
On the other end of the phone, the excavator guy just giggled: "It's okay, the market has been bad in the past two years, excavators have made rapid progress, and the price is not that expensive."
“My down payment is only over 30,000 yuan, I have enough money.”
“Brother Xu said he could buy it. My work is stable, and he called me when he got a job.”
Brother Xu is the leader of the engineering team. In the past few years, the excavator guy has worked as an apprentice and later as a substitute in the team. When there is no work, he will work on any project that lacks people. He knows everything, has learned a lot, and is very down-to-earth.
Young people like this are hard to find nowadays! Therefore, the person in charge quite likes him.
Coincidentally, Song Tan also likes this kind of practicality.
At this moment, she smiled and said: "I want you to find work here to pay the monthly payment! Okay, then you can come. I will have to work hard for a while on my two hundred acres."
“Okay sister!”
At the other end, the excavator guy was even happier: "I just like working for your family. The food is delicious and the salary is not delayed. I will go there tomorrow!"
This cannot be said sincerely.
The excavator business was booming in the past few years. For the job that the excavator guy is taking now, when it was high, there were more than 2,000 people employed per shift.
In recent years, it has been difficult. Many people have been unable to get jobs. Many people in their excavator group cannot continue to work, so they have sold their cars and changed careers.
Even if you get a job, it is difficult to get money.
In the past few years, he has been working as a substitute for others, and it is not like he has never encountered defaulters and defaulters, or people who negotiated a good price and then regretted it after completing the work...
How comfortable it is to just work at Song Tan’s house!
Although the excavator he drove at the beginning was smaller, it had low fuel consumption and the price he asked was also low.
But Song Tan has always said that the price is whatever it is, and the checkout is quick and unambiguous, which is far better than others.
And...and the food at her home is really delicious!
Just thinking about it, the young man's mouth started to drool.
He said it so matter-of-factly, and Song Tan was also unambiguous:
"Okay! Then you can come over in the next two days. But my family has no place to live, so you can live with my grandpa."
Planning has not been completed yet, but it does not affect the excavation and turning of the soil to expose it to the sun.
I have asked for a quote of 400 for drilling a well on flat land, which is not expensive. The quote may be different in each region. Of course, it does not include the entire well repair, otherwise the cement bricks would cost more than this price - after all, there is no plan to build a well on the mountain, it is just to surround a pond.
I also inquired about the price of the excavator in detail, including the fact that Komatsu has high fuel consumption, but it is more suitable for gravel and earthwork...
However, if there is anything wrong, you are welcome to point it out and I will correct it in time. Thank you all!
It’s daytime again, it’s late but it’s here!
