At the same time, Yintan Village, which is twenty kilometers away, is also having a collective New Year's Eve dinner. As the village closest to Jintan Village, Yintan Village knows much more about Jintan Village than other villages.
Much more.
Compared with the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner in Jintan Village, the New Year's Eve dinner in Yintan Village is much shabbier, and there are far fewer people attending the New Year's Eve dinner.
"Lao Ba, your daughter is really blessed when she marries to Jintan Village. I heard that they drink a lot of drinks there, which costs more than 20 yuan a bottle, and you can drink all you want."
As soon as Da Gai was mentioned, others looked at the three-yuan-per-pound bulk wine in their hands and immediately felt that it didn't smell good.
The middle-aged man, known as Lao Ba, waved his hand with a smile.
"Why are you so blessed? Well, my son-in-law is still working hard on the construction site. He is working hard every day and can't make much money."
"Well, it's boring to say that. What do you mean by working hard on a construction site? Your son-in-law is a contractor. How can he not earn hundreds of dollars a day?"
"Yes, Lao Ba, you are too modest."
"Yes, you must punish yourself with three cups!"
For people like Lao Ba, in later generations, one sentence is most suitable to describe him, that is, "Versailles", and it is the kind of "old Versailles".
Lao Ba's son-in-law is none other than Li Dayou's son Shui Wang.
Although it was still a few days before the couple got married, their family asked their daughter to spend the New Year at her husband's house early. Anyway, the engagement wine was drunk, the bride price was collected, and people watched it.
Locally, a situation like this is basically no different from that of a married couple.
The "contractor" that the villagers said is indeed true. Shui Wang is indeed following Ma Debao, taking on various projects outside, including but not limited to family housing, unit housing, schools, factory buildings, municipal projects, etc.
wait.
However, the villagers had only heard about it and obviously did not know the inside story. They always thought that Shui Wang was the boss of the engineering team, but in fact Shui Wang was just a contractor below.
Or to use a more technical term, it is a ‘subcontractor’.
Shui Wang and Ma Debao grew up together and have a good relationship. When Ma Debao established an engineering team, he was one of the first people to respond.
The reason why Ma Debao established the engineering team was mainly influenced by Li Jie.
Compared with Ma Defu, who is calm and introverted, Ma Debao's character is much more out-of-the-box, and at the same time, he is more diplomatic, or more cunning.
There is an aggressive spirit in Ma Debao's bones, just like the original 'escape', which was originally proposed by him. He was tired of the world in the mountains and longed to venture outside and see the colorful world outside.
After Li Jie entered the dungeon, he first helped Ma Defu pave the way for his career. As for how far Ma Defu can go in the future, it depends on his own ability. He will only provide initial help.
According to the original plan, he would let it go in another three to five years.
Ma Defu is his son, and Ma Debao is also his son. Of course Li Jie will not favor one over the other.
Now that the route has been planned for the eldest son, matters concerning the second son should also be put on the agenda. Li Jie had not taken action before because Ma Debao was still very young at that time.
However, Ma Debao is now an adult. According to local customs, adult children can be independent.
Therefore, Li Jie suggested that Ma Debao go out to do something. It happened that the brick factory in the village was put into production at that time, and where was the largest amount of bricks used?
Naturally, there are all kinds of construction sites.
Establishing an engineering team can not only undertake various jobs, but also open up sales for the brick factory in your village.
Killing two birds with one stone, why not?
Ma Debao's performance did not disappoint Li Jie. In just one year, he made the engineering team do a great job. Not only did he undertake several projects, solving the surplus labor force in the village, he also recruited many people from surrounding villages.
Few workers.
It has made a small contribution to poverty alleviation in Yuquanying area.
As one of the first people to respond to Ma Debao, Shui Wang also took advantage of the heat to do small work.
Generally speaking, after receiving one or several projects, Ma Debao will assign one of the projects or certain items in a project to subcontractors such as Shuiwang, Gawa, Huwa, etc. based on the difficulty of the construction and the length of the cycle.
.
For example, if it is a simple building of a private house, usually a subcontractor can do such work. If it is a project of building a school or a work dormitory, a subcontractor cannot handle such a project.
Next, usually several people work together.
In the early 1990s, the domestic construction industry was in the ascendant. Even in the southeastern coastal areas at the forefront of reform and opening up, similar engineering teams were still not professional and large-scale, let alone Ning Province, which is located in the northwest.
Therefore, under the guidance of Li Jie, the engineering team led by Ma Debao widened the gap with other small packages as soon as it entered the market.
To put it bluntly, the construction team of Jintan Village has no rivals in the local market.
Not to mention other things, just talking about engineering equipment such as forklifts and excavators, other small packages cannot afford it, and those who can afford it are basically state-owned construction companies.
However, the state-owned economy has been developing for decades, and its shortcomings have become apparent. In the field of small construction projects, the engineering team led by Ma Debao outperforms local construction companies in terms of employee motivation and cost.
.
(Of course, large-scale projects such as bridges, ports, etc. also depend on state-owned enterprises)
Therefore, in addition to those large-scale municipal projects, as long as Ma Debao wants to do other small projects, there is basically nothing he cannot win.
The engineering team grew bigger and bigger, and Shui Wang, Gawa and others who worked with Ma Debao did not earn as much as Ma Debao, but compared to others, they still belonged to the high-income class.
What the villagers said about earning one or two hundred a day was not a lie. In fact, they heard this from hearsay. The water was prosperous, and Gawa and the others actually earned much more than the villagers imagined.
In the past year, Ma Debao took on ten projects at once, including five family houses, two village primary schools, a town hospital, a water pumping station dormitory and an office building for the power supply bureau.
The total amount of these ten projects exceeds 600,000, and among the engineering team, Ma Debao invested the most. After all, he 'bought' those machines, so he is naturally the one who earns the most.
However, Ma Debao is not the kind of stingy person. He will not treat his brothers badly. As subcontractors, Shuiwang, Gawa, and Huwa, the lowest average amount they received last year was 13,000 yuan.
