Chapter 1693: Chapter 890: Former Rivals, Now Teammates_2

Liu Haicheng joked around.

"Well, if that’s the case, it’s really great, saves us the effort and time of searching, but you know, the Feiyue Construction Company has very high standards for contracted construction teams. Mr. Liu, can you recommend a qualified top-notch construction team to us?"

Ding Yue asked calmly.

Since they’re going to join my Feiyue Construction Company, they must be a top-notch construction team. I won’t accept slackers.

"Of course."

Liu Haicheng was quite confident in this aspect. Hasn’t he gained anything from decades in the construction engineering field? You should know that Liu Haicheng also worked his way up from the bottom.

"Actually, in Tianfu, there are quite a few excellent construction teams. Principal Ding, you also know that Tianfu is one of the main regions for migrant workers, and many migrant workers are actually construction workers. Generally, one-third of the teams we outsource are from Tianfu Bashu."

Liu Haicheng explained.

"Any recommendations?"

Ding Yue asked with curiosity.

Well, Ding Yue certainly knew this, after all, among the three construction teams currently in the Feiyue Construction Company, one was recruited from the Tianfu area, and the other two were formed by students of the Mist City Arts and Science University’s School of Architecture.

The number of students in the School of Architecture at Mist City Arts and Science University has been large in the past two years, and a significant portion actually cannot reach the level of Liu Chuanjie and the others in professional fields. So going to the front-line as construction workers is also a good choice; it’s a bit tougher, but they earn quite a lot.

After all, not every student at Mist City Arts and Science University is a genius. Geniuses are only a minority compared to the student base at Mist City Arts and Science University. Naturally, people like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei are even rarer. It seems like there are many because Mist City Arts and Science University has over 300,000 students, with such a large base, the possibility of producing top talents like Tong Yihang and Liu Tiefei is greater.

"Of course, I have."

Liu Haicheng nodded with a smile and said, "Ten years ago, when I was not yet the head of the Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau, I knew a construction team, from Tianfu. The team leader and I had some ties. Some projects of the Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau were handed over to them for construction. You don’t have to worry about their capabilities, Principal Ding."

"Is this nepotism?"

Ding Yue chuckled and asked.

"Principal Ding, don’t misunderstand. The reason I handed the Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau’s projects to them is because of their capabilities and the attitude of the team leader, not because of ties."

When Liu Haicheng mentioned "ties," he seemed to have a bit of disdain.

That’s right.

Although Liu Haicheng has a bit of pride, he is able to adhere to principled matters. Under his leadership, the Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau has developed quite well over the years.

"Just joking."

Ding Yue said calmly.

"I get it. So, Principal Ding, should I introduce this team to you? Whether or not to use them is up to your Feiyue Construction Company. I’m just facilitating the introduction."

Liu Haicheng shrugged and said.

"Sure."

Ding Yue nodded.

So, Liu Haicheng immediately took out his phone and called the construction team’s leader, Chen Jianjun: "Principal Ding, let me talk to him."

Ding Yue remained silent, allowing Liu Haicheng to call this Chen Jianjun.

While dialing, Liu Haicheng stood up from the sofa and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window: "Hey, Jianjun."

"Mr. Liu!"

On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man’s voice came through.

"Mr. Liu, it’s a pity that the Xia Construction Bureau didn’t secure the Pharaoh’s New Cairo City project."

Chen Jianjun said regretfully over the phone.

"It is a bit regrettable, but it’s okay. The building company that secured the New Cairo City project is still from Xia Country. You know Feiyue Construction Company, right?"

Liu Haicheng sighed.

He still felt a bit of pity for the Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau not securing the New Cairo City project, but then realized that Feiyue Construction Company was able to secure it because of their capabilities and efforts; the planning and design of Oasis City were done very well, no doubt about it.

"Of course I know Feiyue Construction Company. I knew this construction company even before they secured the New Cairo City project. They’re quite capable."

Chen Jianjun responded.

"So the deal is, Feiyue Construction Company needs to expand and wants to directly contract some construction teams. Chen, you know from working in construction that New Cairo City is a large-scale project and needs manpower. Your team is good, so I plan to recommend it to Feiyue Construction Company."

Liu Haicheng went straight to the point.

"That’s good news! Mr. Liu, you plan to recommend us to Feiyue Construction Company... Wait a minute, direct contract? Does that mean literally signing onto Feiyue Construction Company, not an outsourcing model?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianjun was initially excited, then confused.

Because Liu Haicheng mentioned earlier that Feiyue Construction Company wants to expand and directly contract some construction teams.

Usually like bringing his hometown folks together to work on construction sites, it’s mostly through outsourcing. The biggest project they worked on was one outsourced by Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau, never had the notion of directly signing onto a construction company.

"Chen, direct signing is a good thing. Feiyue Construction Company’s future is limitless. If the New Cairo City project is done well, it will be internationally renowned, comparable to the Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau. But you know, the Xia Country Construction Engineering Bureau is a state-owned enterprise, you need a position to get in, so you can only cooperate through outsourcing with them."

Liu Haicheng said earnestly, "But Feiyue Construction Company is different. It is a private enterprise. Once you join, you can enjoy company benefits and salary. I believe Feiyue Construction Company will certainly not treat our worker friends poorly."

"Mr. Liu, could I speak with this... Mr. Chen myself?"

Listening to Liu Haicheng’s phone conversation, Ding Yue decided to personally explain the benefits of joining his Feiyue Construction Company to Chen Jianjun.

"Sure."

Without a second thought, Liu Haicheng handed the phone to Principal Ding.

After receiving the phone, Ding Yue spoke politely to Chen Jianjun on the phone: "Hello, Mr. Chen."

"Hello, sir."

On the phone, Chen Jianjun’s tone was very respectful.

"Mr. Chen, no need to call me sir, just call me Principal Ding. I’m Ding Yue, the principal of Mist City Arts and Science University. So about signing directly with Feiyue Construction Company, I have the final say. Let me first tell you about the advantages of joining Feiyue Construction Company, shall I?"

Ding Yue also respected the hardworking workers.

"Yes, Principal Ding, go ahead."

"Here’s the thing, your entire construction team, if signed with Feiyue Construction Company, the team will still be managed by you. The company will issue a basic monthly salary to employees, three thousand yuan."

"What? Three thousand yuan?"

Chen Jianjun was a bit at a loss, thinking if they join Feiyue Construction Company, a month’s wage is merely three thousand yuan, how can one live on that?

"Oh no, Mr. Chen, you must’ve misunderstood my meaning. Three thousand yuan is the monthly base salary, meaning whether your construction team has work or not at Feiyue Construction Company, you’ll still receive a monthly base salary of three thousand yuan. Additionally, when there’s work, you’ll earn whatever you’re supposed to just like you do now."

Ding Yue earnestly explained to Chen Jianjun.

"So that’s how it is, what a good thing!" Once Chen Jianjun understood how it works, he was excited.
