Rebirth of the Nine-Three Era

Yin Yuan saw that the Armed Police Office Building had been signed, but there was no movement at all from Chen Guangming in the Xinhui District Office Building.

Isn't this guy trying to take over the decoration project himself?

He had his own decoration team, but he had no choice but to hand over the decoration project to Yin Yuan's decoration company. He must be feeling quite depressed.

So he adopted the procrastination strategy and kept procrastinating, and would not let go unless he was forced to do so.

Yin Yuan said to his younger brother: "Let's go to the compound in Xinhui District and find Chen Guangming to see if he has lowered the decoration price?"

Hong Bing said: "Does Manager Chen have relatives or friends who are engaged in decoration? Do you want to let his relatives and friends do the project?"

"Forgive him that he doesn't dare. The forest district has already spoken. If he dares to be half-hearted, he is not afraid of not getting the project funds. He has his own engineering team, so he is very resentful towards us in his heart, but on the surface he doesn't dare Fight us."

He drove to the Xinhui District Committee Office Compound.

I saw Chen Guangming instructing workers to harden a dirt road leading to the new office building.

Yin Yuan parked the car on the lawn opposite and walked with Hong Bing to Chen Guangming.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, has the decoration price reported last time been approved by the district leader?"

Chen Guangming looked up and saw him, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down.

"Hello Captain Yin, the decoration price has been quoted, but the district leaders have been to the city for a meeting in the past few days and have not responded, so there is no reply yet."

Yin Yuan happened to see Lin Sen and another middle-aged man walking from the office building.

That middle-aged man is Wu Jinhui, the newly appointed mayor of Xinhui District.

Yin Yuan greeted the two of them: "Hello, two leaders!"

Lin Sen introduced Wu Jinhui: "This is Yin Yuan. He has opened a decoration company in Xinhui. The decoration of this building can be left to him."

Wu Jinhui nodded and said, "Professional matters should be left to professionals. It seems we haven't seen the decoration workers come in yet? We must hurry up. We are waiting for the new office building to be used."

Yin Yuan glanced at Chen Guangming, but before he spoke, Chen Guangming quickly explained: "Mr. Yin came here to sign the construction contract with me today, so I took the time to harden the cement of this dirt road. It will be easier for Mr. Yin to bring the materials tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ."

Lin Sen specifically said to Yin Yuan: "If there is something that cannot be solved, you can go directly to District Chief Wu."

Yin Yuan introduced his younger brother to Wu Jinhui: "District Chief Wu, this is my brother, his name is Hong Bing. He will be the one to bother you if anything happens in the future."

Wu Jinhui said: "If you are helping me decorate my office building, if you have any questions, just come to me. If I can't live with you, just come to Director Cai Zhongren."

Chen Guangming was afraid of being exposed, so he promptly asked Brother Yin Yuan to go to the construction site office with him to sign the contract.

"I just wanted to inform you to come over and sign the contract, so you just came over."

He said to Yin Yuan: "The quotation is based on the revised one. After the project is completed, can we return 10% of the profit as we agreed last time?"

Yin Yuan nodded and said, "I am a person who keeps my word. I must keep my words."

Their unit arranges its own cadres to manage the office building of the Armed Police Corps compound, and payments are settled directly with their unit.

However, the Xinhui District office building has to go through the builder Chen Guangming. In order to make him feel more comfortable, an appropriate profit transfer is necessary.

Seeing that he readily agreed, Chen Guangming signed a decoration contract with him.

The terms of the contract are the same as those of the office building in the Armed Police Compound, and the project payment is also based on the progress of the project.

On the way back, Yin Yuan specifically explained to the Red Soldier: "This building in Xinhui District is a little different from the building in the Armed Police Corps. In the building in the Corps, we settled directly with the unit, and no one else participated in the process. But the district office building On the other hand, we are taking over the work from Chen Guangming. The project funds have to go through his hands, which will have many sequelae. In order to avoid causing disputes in the future, when renovating this building, we must strictly abide by the contract. That is to say, if he If the advance payment for the project is not paid in time, we will stop the work decisively. That way we will not suffer losses."

Hong Bing thinks what he said makes sense.

When the two returned to the decoration company, he asked Hong Bing: "Have you found all the workers?"

Hong Bing said: "The workers for the interior wall decoration are basically in place, but there are still workers for the exterior wall decoration who are not available."

Hong Bing said that the workers who decorated the interior walls said that their legs were weak even when they climbed up the steel pipes on the exterior walls.

Workers who are accustomed to interior wall decoration are generally not willing to do exterior wall decoration.

Yin Yuan asked the red soldiers to go to the villa area to call Huo Buqiang over.

Huo Buqiang originally lived in a decoration company, but after the city defense team arrested a few Vietnamese masters last time, in order to stabilize them, he simply moved to a temporary work shed in a villa and lived and ate with them.

At first, he went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and cooked three meals a day for the workers. After working for a while, he felt that a grown man was not comfortable doing such work, so he hired a girl from Guizhou Province to do kitchen work. The master is going to do the exterior wall decoration work.

Soon, the red soldiers took him back to the decoration company.

"I have taken over the exterior wall painting project of two buildings with a total area of ​​nearly [-] square meters. Are there any fellows you are familiar with who specialize in exterior wall painting?"

Yin Yuan asked him directly.

Huo Buqiang said happily: "Now, over the villa, we have decorated seven or eight villas with exterior walls, but none of the interior walls have been decorated yet. Can we park the villa for a while and arrange for a dozen Vietnamese masters to come here first?" Painting the exterior walls of a building while decorating it?”

Yin Yuan said: "Of course, but there is another building that needs to be started at the same time. Do you have any familiar fellow villagers working in the city in Guangdong? Would you like to invite them over?"

He knew that the craftsmanship of Shuangfei Fen shavers in Guangxi Province was faster, smoother and smoother than those in other provinces.

They are not very tall, so they can climb the outer frame to make the outer wall more flexibly.

Huo Buqiang said: "We have many folks in Funan County who are doing interior and exterior wall decoration in Xiangshan City, but we don't have their contact numbers. We have to find them on site. Mr. Yin, how much do you pay per square meter for labor?"

Yin Yuan said: "According to market conditions, how much they charge in other places, then the price here is the same."

These days, the labor cost of construction masters is relatively low. The labor cost of scraping walls is only one yuan per square meter on a piece-by-piece basis, and it also includes painting.

Interior walls are usually made of scraped powder, polyvinyl alcohol glue, and a small amount of white cement.

Polyvinyl alcohol must be boiled and melted in an iron pot with water, and then added to Shuangfei powder to make a slurry.

But for exterior walls, it is mainly necessary to scrape white cement and add a small amount of Shuangfei powder, and also add polyvinyl alcohol glue.

White cement is too hard after drying and is difficult to smooth with sandpaper. Therefore, if you want a good decorative effect, you must rely on the skill of the wall scraper to smooth the wall when scraping powder.

After painting like this and dismantling the steel pipe frame, the effect will be particularly obvious.

He asked Huo Buqiang: "For your fellow villagers, how much does it cost to do exterior wall paint?"

He now pays 2 yuan per square meter for painting the exterior walls of villas with Vietnamese masters. The structures of those villas are more complex and more difficult to paint than office buildings.

Therefore, the labor cost for office buildings should be cheaper.

Huo Buqiang said: "Office buildings are large in area and are much easier to build than villas. They can be built for only 1.6 yuan/square meter."

Yin Yuan said to him: "I'll let you do all the exterior wall work. You can find a group of workers and see if you can finish it within two months?"

Huo Buqiang readily agreed. Even though it was a contractor, even if he charged [-] cents for management fee per square meter, it was still a huge sum of money.

"I will go to Xiangshan City to find them now."

Yin Yuan considered that the construction site needed to find manpower as soon as possible. Huo Buqiang went to Xiangshan City to find fellow villagers. It might take a few days.

He simply said: "I will drive you there. That will save trouble a lot."

It’s only over 50 kilometers from Jiangming to Xiangshan, less than an hour’s drive.

Huo Buqiang was extremely happy: "It would be best if Mr. Yin can come with me. I'll go back and say hello to Huang Qiuyue, who is cooking, and give her some money to remember to buy vegetables."

Yin Yuan drove him to the villa area and met Yan Yuanchao and Xinhui District Mayor Wu Jinhui at the entrance of the community.

Yan Yuanchao and Wu Jinhui just visited a dozen villas that had been painted and thought the decoration effect was indeed good.

Wu Jinhui said to Yin Yuan: "This paint is very good for decorating exterior walls. It is affordable and has bright colors."

Yan Yuanchao nodded: "Now the country encourages the use of paint for exterior wall decoration. Some construction drawings indicate that exterior wall decoration should be painted."

Yin Yuan asked Huo Buqiang to go in and explain the matter, where he chatted with Yan Yuanchao.

"Laying ceramic tiles on the exterior walls, or hanging aluminum panels, glass curtain walls, or laying stones are all very expensive and the process is relatively complicated. In fact, it also puts a lot of load on the wall and leaves many safety hazards."

"Yes, bricks from exterior walls often peel off and fall down, hitting people."

Wu Jinhui said: "Last year, the entire tiles on the exterior wall of an office building in Hegang Town peeled off and fell, injuring several passers-by on the spot. One of them was seriously injured."

Yan Yuanchao said: "This won't happen when exterior wall decoration is painted in the future. I just don't know how long it can last?"

Yin Yuan explained to them: "The paint used in the villa now is guaranteed not to change color within eight years. After eight years, it will slowly fade. It does not mean that it will fade drastically at once."

Wu Jinhui said thoughtfully: "These coatings save money and trouble, and the decoration effect is also good. However, the color retention is a bit short and will fade after seven or eight years. Is there any new material that can last for more than ten or dozens of years?" Doesn’t change color every year?”

Yan Yuanchao said: "Not so far."

At this time, Yin Yuan thought of the real stone paint, fluorocarbon paint and imitation stone paint that appeared in previous lives. The color retention of walls decorated with these materials can last for more than ten years.

Real stone paint materials are already available abroad, even in Taiwan. Only in [-] did people start to produce them in China.

Its formula is also simple: pure acrylic acid, quartz sand or granite sand, thickener, plasticizer and other additives.

Pure acrylic acid is too expensive, so in order to save costs, phenyl acrylic acid is used instead.

The last time he went to the chemical supplies store in Waihai Industrial Zone, he had already seen these chemical materials.

As long as there is granite sand or quartz sand, follow the formula of real stone paint in the memory of the previous life.

With a mixer and a glass crusher, he can produce real stone paint materials.

Yin Yuan told them: "There is a kind of real stone paint material, which has longer color retention than paint, better decorative effect, and the cost is not much more expensive."

Yan Yuanchao asked strangely: "Real stone paint? What materials is it made of, and what is the construction process?"

Yin Yuan said: "The raw materials of real stone paint are made of quartz sand or granite sand, mixed with pure acrylic acid, phenyl acrylic acid, and other additives. This is because these granite sands are ground into powder from natural stones. , the color is also the natural color of the stone, so it will not change for decades. During construction, use an air compressor and a professional spray gun, and the spray painting construction and craftsmanship can be easily mastered."

Wu Jinhui said with interest: "Maybe the exterior walls of our more than 100 villas over there will be decorated with the real stone paint material you mentioned?"

Yin Yuan thought: At this time, there is no real stone paint manufacturer in China. If he opens one, he can definitely make a lot of money.

If you open a building materials factory and promote it, your sales will definitely increase sharply in a short period of time.

In his previous life, he opened a building materials store and sold thousands of kilograms of real stone paint in a month.

At that time, many cities in Guangdong already had many building materials factories producing real stone paint, tile adhesive, anti-cracking mortar, and even various waterproof materials.

He still remembers the production formulas of these products, so he can avoid making detours.

Wu Jinhui said: "Office buildings can also be sprayed with this kind of real stone paint. Even if the cost is more expensive but the effect is good, it can be considered."

He asked Yin Yuan: "How much does it cost per square meter to spray this kind of real stone paint?"

Yin Yuan said: "The villa has a complex shape and is more difficult to construct. It costs 40 yuan/square meter. For a large area like an office building, the construction cost is 35 yuan/square meter."

Yan Yuanchao asked doubtfully: "Xiao Yin, are you sure you can produce this kind of real stone paint material? Do you know the production formula?"

Yin Yuan said with confidence: "I already know the formula. As long as I bring in the raw materials and mix it a few times, it should be fine."

Of course, after the product comes out, it must be inspected.

Wu Jinhui said happily: "We have more than 100 villas there. I have one, Mr. Yan has one, and Lao Lin has one. We can give you a try on any of these villas with real stone paint."

Yan Yuanchao said: "Xiao Yin bought a building by himself, and the interior and exterior walls are being renovated. It seems that the exterior walls have just been scraped with white cement."

Yin Yuan made up his mind and said, "Okay, I'll get some raw materials, mix some real stone paint, and spray it on my own villa first. Then everyone will see the effect and decide whether to spray real stone paint or paint?" "

Wu Jinhui and Wu Jinhui both nodded and said yes.

Yin Yuan told Huo Buqiang: "In my villa, let the workers finish scraping the white cement first, and then paint slowly. I want to spray real stone paint."

This was also the first time Huo Buqiang had heard of this material.

In his previous life, he led a group of Vietnamese masters to decorate exterior walls in Funan County, and real stone paint was the material he used most.

Yin Yuan drove him to Xiangshan City. On the way, he explained to Huo Buqiang the material of real stone paint and how to construct it. What will be the effect after construction?

Huo Buqiang said excitedly: "Mr. Yin, I think you can open a building materials factory to specialize in the production of this kind of real stone paint. Now you have your own project here, and this material will be most effective when spraying villas and office buildings. When the time comes, Once you have a sample, you can send salespeople to the market to sell the product. You will definitely make more profits than opening a decoration company."

Yin Yuan felt that Huo Buqiang was a sales talent. In his previous life, he went to Vietnam to open an imitation stone paint factory.

He said: "If I open a building materials factory, and I ask you to help me run the business, will you do it?"

"I'll definitely do it. I can't sit still and am best suited to running around outside. If you give me a basic salary and then commission based on my performance, I will definitely get a high salary every month."

The two chatted and soon arrived in the city of Xiangshan.

Yin Yuan asked him: "Do you know which construction site your fellow villagers work at?"

Huo Buqiang said: "I went home a few months ago and met my cousin Huo Bufan. He brought eight workers and said they were decorating the exterior walls of the newly built hotel in Xiangshan, and they were also painting. Last time he said there would be more It was completed in a month..."

Yin Yuan parked on the side of the road and asked a passerby about the location of the Xiangshan Hotel.

Passers-by didn’t know it, so they went to the newsstand and asked the boss.

The boss thought for a moment and said, "There is a new hotel behind the Xiangshan City Hall. Is it the Xiangshan Hotel you mentioned?"

Yin Yuan drove to the Xiangshan City Government and found a hotel behind it that was being renovated.

Huo Buqiang walked around the construction site and brought a young man out.

"Hello boss, Buqiang and I are brothers. I heard from him that you took over a few buildings to be renovated. It just so happens that the project here is basically completed. I can go to Jiangming with you."

Yin Yuan asked him how much it would cost to paint an exterior wall.

Huo Bufan quoted a price.

"Would you like to follow me to see the construction site?"

"No need, I heard from my brother what you are like, Mr. Yin, and I believe you. I can bring in eight people to go to your construction site tomorrow."

Yin Yuan made an agreement with him that someone would be waiting for them at the gate of the Armed Police Corps compound at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

It was already dinner time, and Yin Yuan invited him to the restaurant for dinner.

When he came back and passed the chemical store on Waihai Avenue, he went in specifically to look at the ingredients needed to make real stone paint and asked about the price.

I also asked the boss: "Where can I buy granite sand and quartz sand?"

The boss said: "I can help you buy quartz sand here. It costs 8 yuan for a hundred pounds. It has any color you want. Granite gravel is basically free. There is a granite quarry in Du Ruan Town, where you can get gravel easily." If you drive a tractor to pull the goods, the boss will not only not charge you any money, but he will also thank you."

Yin Yuan first did a floor paint project in the trading market, so he purchased quartz sand through the paint factory. Finally, there were still a few hundred kilograms of material left after the project was completed, and he had already brought it back to the decoration company.

It's just right for experimenting with making real stone paint.

He purchased styrene-acrylic emulsion, pure acrylic emulsion, acrylic emulsion, and several other formulations at the chemical store.

Early the next morning, the red soldiers were asked to buy an air compressor and a funnel-type spray gun.

Yin Yuanyong adjusted ten kilograms of real stone paint according to the proportions, then took the materials to his villa, found a wall, painted it with primer first, and sprayed several square meters as a sample.

Finally, wait a few hours for it to dry, then spray a layer of varnish.

Yin Yuan calculated the cost and thought that using quartz sand and pure acrylic acid to make real stone paint would be a bit expensive.

The spray painting effect is indeed very good.

In the future, depending on customer needs, if it is high-end real stone paint, it can be made according to this formula.

He drove the Red Soldier to Du Ruan Town, found the granite quarry, and saw a gravel processing plant at the foot of the mountain.

There are several tractors loading gravel.

Yin Yuan looked around and found that there were stones and sand of various colors, but the boss mixed them together.

If you want to separate the fried stones of different colors, it may take some effort.

A bald middle-aged man saw a bridge truck entering the sand and gravel field and hurriedly rushed to meet it.

"Hello boss, do you want gravel or sand?"

Yin Yuan said: "I want colored stone sand, such as yellow. I will use it to make real stone paint and test it first. If it succeeds, I will supply a large amount of colored stone sand in the future. Boss, what is your supply price? How much per ton? If the price is right, we can cooperate for a long time.”

He saw white, yellow, black, and purple stones on the stone field.

He grabbed a handful of stone sand that had been ground into powder and said, "Can you grind this stone sand a little more finely?"

The boss said: "It's fine if you want to grind it into flour. The current price for others is 15 yuan/square meter, but here you need to separate the various colors and grind it finely, which will cost at least 25 yuan/square meter."

Yin Yuan didn't bargain with him first, so he asked the red soldiers to take a few snakeskin bags, filled them and asked the owner of the sand factory how much they cost.

"I'll get some ingredients first. If everything works well after testing, I'll talk to you about future cooperation intentions."

The owner of the sand factory said: "I will give you these bags of gravel. I hope you will succeed in the experiment and come back to buy my sand."

A few bags of gravel and sand are not worth much.

Yin Yuan expressed his gratitude to him.
