Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 448 Construction Expenses
Duan Shaohua just accompanied Zhao Lei to go through the formalities, and helped him match up. Of course, he would not dictate the farm's planning, and smiled wisely without saying a word.

And Mahathir only cares about building farms, what the land is used for has nothing to do with him at all.Even if Zhao Lei wants to build a playground covering an area of ​​[-] hectares here, Mahathir has no objection.

Therefore, those who really care about the farm planning should count on Zhong Jiahong.After all, Zhao Lei just said that the situation of the farm is linked to Zhong Jiahong's income, so he dare not be careless.

So Zhong Jiahong stood on the highest hillside of the farm, observing the topography of the farm while thinking secretly to see if there was anything unreasonable in Zhao Lei's plan.

However, Zhao Lei's plan for the farm was finalized after a long period of consideration and several revisions.Not only has the impact of the planting environment on the crops been fully considered, but the land has also been used as much as possible, so that the experienced Zhong Jiahong can't find any problems.

This also made Zhong Jiahong admire the new boss a little more, and said to Zhao Lei with admiration: "Boss, your plan for the farm is very reasonable, basically there is nothing to modify."

"Very good, then follow this plan." Zhao Lei immediately made a decision, and then said to Mahathir: "You should make a project budget according to this plan, and as long as the price is suitable, sign the construction contract as soon as possible."

Mahathir immediately agreed: "No problem, give me a day, and I will give you a quotation tomorrow."

Zhao Lei nodded towards Mahathir, and then said to Zhong Jiahong: "Old Zhong, you also estimate how many workers are needed, and take advantage of the opportunity that I am still around for a few days to select the basic people."

Zhong Jiahong was full of enthusiasm and said: "No problem, I will find someone when I get back, and I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Zhao Lei was a client introduced by Shen Hanqing, and Mahathir certainly did not dare to underestimate him.I came to the farm early the next day and handed over the project budget to Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei took a look at the budget sheet, nodded slightly and said, "170 million dollars, this price is not bad."

Duan Shaohua next to him whispered to Zhao Lei: "Mr. Shen has already ordered that no matter how much the cost of building the farm is, he will pay for it, so you don't have to worry about the price."

Zhao Lei said seriously: "Secretary Duan, first of all, please thank Mr. Shen for me, but I should pay the money myself."

Seeing that Duan Shaohua was still planning to persuade himself, Zhao Lei said first: "Mr. Shen gave me this piece of land, which I am very grateful for. I will handle other matters by myself. There is no reason to always bother him. In this case, I would rather Abandon this land!"

Seeing Zhao Lei's resolute attitude, Duan Shaohua also gave up his plan to persuade him, and nodded helplessly: "Okay, I will pass on your words to Mr. Shen."

Before Zhong Jiahong came, Zhao Lei and Mahathir talked about some details of the farm construction.The first step is to build a concrete road from the farm to the road to facilitate vehicle access.

Secondly, several buildings should be built on the farm to facilitate workers to rest after work, store tools and other supplies, and use them as office space, etc.

Mahathir wrote down Zhao Lei's requirements one by one, and said to him with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhao, you did not mention these requirements yesterday. The quotation I gave you did not include these projects."

Zhao Lei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Mahathir, I'm not an unreasonable person. You can make another quotation for these projects."

Only then did Mahathir feel relieved, and said with a smile all over his face: "It will be no problem, don't worry, I will definitely build the farm according to your requirements."

While the two were talking, the sun rose from the hillside behind them, flooding the entire farm and illuminating the sea in the distance.

Under the rising sun, the clear sea water is slowly lapping on the golden sandy beach, and there are a few coconut trees swaying on the shore, which is really a charming seaside scenery.

Although Mahathir is a native of Kangar City, he was also intoxicated by such beautiful scenery, and couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "It would be great if I could live here, and I can enjoy this kind of scenery every day."

Mahathir's words reminded Zhao Lei, and he quickly said to him: "You can help me build a villa by the sea, on the high ground over there, with the back on the hillside, and a small garden in front. Beach, what a view!"

For Mahathir, of course, the more business the better, he immediately nodded with a smile and said, "No problem, as long as you provide the design drawings, I will immediately arrange manpower to start work."

Duan Shaohua next to him also lost no time to say that he knows a few good designers and can ask them to help design the villa.

In this case, Zhao Lei would not be polite, and said to Duan Shaohua with a smile: "Then I will trouble Secretary Duan with this matter, but let's make an agreement first, all expenses will be paid by me."

Knowing that Zhao Lei is a person who is not willing to owe favors, Duan Shaohua smiled and agreed.The two agreed to show Zhao Lei the design drawings after they came out, and if he thought there was no problem, he would hand them over to Mahathir immediately to start construction.

According to Mahathir's estimate, the cost of building a villa with an area of ​​no more than 50 square meters plus a small garden will cost between US$100 and US$[-] million, depending on the design of the villa.

In this way, plus the construction cost of the farm, Zhao Lei's initial investment in this land is almost 350 million US dollars.

Even half a year ago, Zhao Lei couldn't come up with so many dollars.Fortunately, now he has established a cooperative relationship with Hotan Co., Ltd., and he can earn 10,000+ US dollars almost every month.

Coupled with the growing international reputation of Xianhu food ingredients, Xianhu brand truffles are very popular, and Zhao Lei earned more than 200 million US dollars in the last auction.So for Zhao Lei now, it is not a difficult thing to spend 300 million US dollars to build a farm in Malaysia.

Thinking of this, Zhao Lei couldn't help feeling a little bit emotional. Thanks to the accidental acquisition of the Zijin Gourd, his life has undergone such a huge change.Otherwise, now he can only go back to school and be a miserable poor student, it is impossible to have such a wonderful life now.

Just when Zhao Lei was feeling emotional, Zhong Jiahong finally came with a group of people.Judging from the appearance of these people, many of them should be overseas Chinese.

Everyone followed Zhong Jiahong. Although no one spoke, they all looked expectant. It was obvious that they were all the workers he had hired for the farm.

The fact is indeed the case, Zhong Jiahong soon came to Zhao Lei, and said to him with a smile: "Boss, they are the workers I hired, are you satisfied?"
