After breakfast in the morning, Lin Mai went to the new factory.
I showed Master Zhang the drawings given by Director Liu yesterday and asked them if they dared to build the overpass.
Master Zhang's masons all gathered around, and they all shook their heads, saying that they had never built it before and didn't know if it could be built.
Master Zhang said: "Although I have participated in the construction of overpasses, it is not as big a project as this one, and there were engineers on site to guide the construction.
The construction standards and techniques of overpasses are completely different from those of building houses. Without engineers, we would not dare to do this work."
Lin Mai was startled for a moment and asked: "Can you introduce me to an engineer?"
Master Zhang smiled awkwardly: "The engineer will only contact the foreman and tell him how to construct, and the foreman will tell us.
How can we, the lower-level masons, have a chance to talk to an engineer? How can we possibly know an engineer?
So I can't help you with this.
Besides, those engineers are all established and their salaries are very high, so you may not be able to hire them."
Lin Mai was thinking about where to hire experienced engineers, and then Master Zhang told her that the headwear workshop, facade, and workshop had not only been renovated, but also decorated according to her requirements.
Lin Mai then went to take a look, and not only did she comply with her request, but he also built a loft for both the facade and the workshop.
Master Zhang explained at the side: "I saw that the clearance of these two rooms is quite high, so I built an attic to conveniently store things, so that I don't have to occupy the indoor area."
Lin Mai nodded: "Very good."
The headdress workshop has been renovated, Yao Yan and Hong Xiumei have also trained disabled employees, and the headdress workshop can be opened.
Lin Mai went to the Unique Garment Factory and asked Tao Zhiyun to arrange for people to purchase tables and chairs to use as workbenches for disabled employees, and to equip them with various tools such as needlework and scissors for making headdresses.
In addition, we also need to customize the signboard, purchase some rubber bands, hairpins, and headbands to tie the hair.
These things must be customized and communicated with the manufacturer.
From now on, she will leave these tasks to her subordinates instead of having to do them herself.
She wants to spare as much time as possible to review the first-year high school courses and work hard to jump directly to the second grade of high school in September.
However, after leaving Tao Zhiyun's office, Lin Mai was not in a hurry to go home, but went to Zhongnan Design Institute.
Zhongnan Design Institute is the most famous design institute in Jiangcheng. There are many top architects and bridge engineers in it. It should be easy to hire a retired bridge engineer.
When he arrived at Zhongnan Design Institute, Lin Mai found the personnel chief.
When the HR section chief saw a young and unfamiliar face with a flattering smile on his face, he knew that he was asking him to do something, so he showed off his official authority.
He asked in a drawl: "What does this little comrade want from me?"
Lin Mai was well aware of the urinary behavior of cadres in state-owned units, so he first gave the personnel chief a red envelope worth one hundred yuan.
Then he said respectfully: "I would like to ask you to introduce me to a few bridge engineers who are experienced and in good health. Do you think that would be okay?"
She didn't dare to hire an experienced engineer but was in poor health. Paying for his medical bills every three days was a small matter, but delaying the construction of the overpass was a big deal.
If the construction of the overpass cannot be completed beautifully this time, Director Liu will not return the urban construction project to her next time.
Money can make all the difference. The HR section chief who received the red envelope instantly became very enthusiastic and said cheerfully: "It's a small thing, there's nothing wrong with it."
In one breath, he recommended ten top retired engineers who were in good health to Lin Mai.
Lin Mai took the list given by the personnel chief and the home addresses of the engineers and went to the family area of the design institute.
First, I went to the home of Zheng Endong, who ranked first in the eyes of the head of the human resources department.
In this era, let alone Jiangcheng, even if the national real estate has not yet started, there are not many official urban construction projects.
Even if there are, those engineers who are currently working do not have enough points, and retired engineers will not be able to get their turn at all.
Therefore, retired engineers have basically no chance of re-employment.
When Lin Mai came to Mr. Zheng's home and explained his intention, Mr. Zheng was so happy that he immediately agreed.
He was very talented and learned, but since he retired, he has no use for it, and he feels somewhat depressed.
Lin Mai hired them, and he got what he wanted. He yelled at his wife to buy fish and meat and come back quickly to entertain the distinguished guests for lunch.
Lin Mai quickly stopped her, saying that she had to rush back to cook for her family at noon and could not eat at their house, so she asked the old lady to stop being busy.
He then took out the drawing and showed it to Mr. Zheng, asking him if he dared to take over the overpass on the drawing.
Mr. Zheng smiled: "I have built overpasses that are more complicated than this before, this one is just child's play!"
Lin Mai was relieved and asked with a smile: "You agreed to me without even asking how much salary I would give you. Aren't you afraid that I would give you a super low salary?"
Mr. Zheng laughed a few times: "It doesn't matter how much money I have, as long as I have something to do. If I continue to be idle, I will become moldy and grow little mushrooms on my body."
Mrs. Zheng smiled and said: "No matter how little I give, you still have to give me a salary of thirty yuan."
Lin Mai smiled and said: "If I only offer Mr. Zheng such a low salary, I'm afraid I will be struck by lightning. I still get a salary of 100 yuan, and the performance bonus will be calculated separately."
The old couple of the Zheng family were even more happy when they heard that the salary was not low.
After signing a labor contract with Mr. Zheng, Lin Mai went to Fuduoduo Food Market.
As for the other engineers, there is no need to visit.
Those are all preparatory personnel. They will only visit them if they cannot reach an agreement with Mr. Zheng.
Now that we have signed a contract with Mr. Zheng, it would be unethical to visit them again without hiring them.
However, when her construction business grows, she will still consider hiring a few more reserve staff.
Chen Feng was sitting on the sofa in the office doing nothing. When he saw Lin Mai coming, he sat upright and asked, "Why are you here? Are you looking for me for something?"
"Of course I have something to do with you." Lin Mai glanced at Forsythia beside him, and deliberately said in a sinister manner: "I don't dare to see you if nothing happens, lest anyone say I gave you a fantasy!"
Forsythia was so choked by her that her face turned red and her neck became thick, but she couldn't refute, so she could only stare.
Lin Mai ignored her angry face, picked up the phone on his desk and called Director Liu's office.
Tell him that she hired an experienced bridge engineer and she dared to take on the urban construction project of the overpass.
Director Liu asked her on the phone to come to his office in the afternoon to sign the contract.
Lin Mai took the opportunity to tell him that it was not her who went to sign the contract with him, but her partner Chen Feng.
And explained the reason why Chen Feng was sent to sign the contract.
Although Director Liu is the urban construction director, he has the final say on who is assigned the urban construction projects.
As long as the contractor completes the task with quality, quantity and time, it will be fine.
But Lin Mai thought about him in every possible way, which still moved him a little.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mai looked at Chen Feng: "You know what I want you to do, right?"
Chen Feng nodded: "I understand."
Lin Mai didn't have a single extra word to say and was about to leave.
Chen Feng stopped her and asked, "When will the teacher-appreciation banquet be held?"
During this period of time, Lin Mai was not only busy with his career, but also obsessed with studying. He had long forgotten about this matter.
She only remembered it when Chen Feng mentioned it.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Let's give it a few days. There are a lot of things going on these days."
Then he asked: "Do you want to attend my teacher appreciation banquet?"
Chen Feng smiled and asked: "Am I not qualified?"
"That's not the case." Lin Mai explained, "I originally planned to simply set up a dinner to thank teachers and treat Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang to a meal.
Since you want to participate, I will include the teachers and Sister Tao, set up two banquet tables, and call you when the time comes."
Chen Feng said hello and secretly touched a long and thin box containing a Parker pen in his trouser pocket.
I finally have the opportunity to give this gift away.
Thinking of this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
