Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 970: Add a Coke Button to Me!

Since he couldn't figure out why his colleagues from the south came to Tianjin for the time being, Lin Ze simply went to the port construction site as planned.

Spring and summer are the golden periods for construction. The port construction site has a tight schedule and the tasks are quite heavy, but the logistics can keep up and the cultural life is becoming increasingly rich. Instead of complaining, everyone quickly fell in love with this very organized collective life.

Factory accommodation area.

The entire accommodation area is divided into three parts, the most luxurious of which is the building for engineers, technical experts and people who have made significant contributions.

According to Lin Ze's idea, no matter how good a building is, it is not as good as a yard. However, in people's minds at this time, buildings are good, buildings are advanced, and buildings are awesome.

Many people would rather have a house of dozens of square meters than a yard.

The engineers and technical experts on the construction site are no exception.

These elites, who either returned from studying abroad or were trained locally, were immediately conquered when they saw the spacious and bright rooms, the fully installed electric lights and telephones, and the high-end flush toilets. They even affectionately called these buildings with uniform regulations "Shengmin" buildings.

Next to the residential area of ​​the building are rows of courtyards, each of which consists of three main rooms and a courtyard of 70 to 80 square meters. These courtyards are built with materials provided by the construction site. If you have money, you can also build on the open space in the courtyard, but you cannot increase the height and you cannot occupy public space.

The third area is the original shantytown, which has now been replaced by wooden houses. Although it is not as good as buildings and yards, this kind of residence is much better than the living environment of most ordinary people.

Old Li and his grandson Li Muen still lived in the wooden house. Old Li had saved two years' wages and was not short of money. If he gritted his teeth, he could get a loan from the construction site to buy a yard.

That’s right, you can now get a loan to buy a house on the construction site!

If you have worked on the construction site for more than two years and have not made any mistakes, you can borrow a one-time loan equivalent to eight years of your salary to buy a number of small courtyards newly built on the construction site.

This amount and working time limit were carefully designed. First, with the money earned from working for eight years plus his own savings, he could buy a house. Lin Ze thought it was reasonable because the land here was really not valuable, mainly because the building materials were relatively expensive.

Second, this type of loan is actually an advance payment of wages, and then a portion of the repayment is slowly deducted from the wages payable. Using this method greatly reduces the financial pressure on the construction site, because the loaned money is just a number, which is directly converted into housing purchase money and returned to the construction site account, while the wages to be paid out each month are actually reduced.

The reason for doing this, in addition to the consideration of improving the living conditions of the workers, is that there has been a relatively obvious inflation phenomenon near the construction site and even in the city of Tianjin!

The workers eat and live on the construction site, and their children go to school on the construction site. The wages paid at this time greatly stimulate the purchasing power of the working group.

Now the prices around the construction site are more than twice as high as those in the surrounding villages!

Although this inflation has not yet caused serious impact, appropriate regulation in advance will also be beneficial to the healthy development of port construction sites.

To put it another way, the current port construction site is like the Baoshan in Shanghai in the future, which is dominated by industry and has workers as the main group. It gradually extends from production to life, and then forms a brand new urban area.

Having said that, the reason why Old Li did not take out a loan to buy a house was because his thinking was still traditional. He had finally made a large sum of money, and he planned to save it for arranging a marriage for his grandson Li Muen.

"Grandpa! Look! What I bought you!"

Li Muen ran in with a shoulder bag on his back and held up the oil-paper bag in his hand.

Old Li sniffed. "Salted duck? The salted duck from the food stall to the west? My dear grandson, where did you get the money?"

Li Muen said proudly, "I got first place in the exam, and the school gave me a certificate and two silver dollars. Here, I even bought you some wine!"

As he said this, he put the oil-paper bag on the table, took out half a bottle of wine from his bag, and carefully took out the certificate.

Old Li also took the certificate carefully and looked at it again and again.

At noon that day, the aroma of salted duck lingered in this small wooden house. Old Li drank two cups of wine, and the aroma of the wine and the food smoothed out his wrinkles.

As he drank, Old Li suddenly burst into tears.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Old Li wiped his eyes and said, "I am happy, Mu En, you have made great progress. Your parents in heaven should be happy for you too!"

At the construction site, Lin Ze was looking around and chatting cordially with the workers from time to time.

Dominic came over excitedly, "Master Lin, you're here. It's just right. We haven't done anything to express our gratitude for the new year, so we've prepared a gift for you!"

"Gift?"

"Please get in the car and follow me."

Everyone got on the bus and headed to a higher place west of the port.

As soon as he got off the car, Lin Ze was a little dumbfounded.

"Lao Duo, are you building a White House?"

I saw that the land had been newly leveled, and a tall and exquisite building complex rose from the ground. There was a well-maintained lawn in the large courtyard. On the east facade was a tall colonnade supporting a two-story porch and a triangular gable. The porch led directly to the lawn, with a wide view and a direct view of the sea.

"Master Lin is indeed knowledgeable. This is indeed a replica of the White House, but it's not that large, with only a few dozen rooms. We designed an office, residence, reception room, and conference hall for you. We also designed a garden to the south, but it's not finished yet. The exterior walls are made of sandstone, so the effect isn't that good yet. After some weathering, it will become even whiter!"

At this point, Dominic said seriously, "Master Lin, you've saved the lives of so many of my compatriots. We have nothing much to show for it. Some of us contributed assets, some contributed designs, and some helped with the construction. We even procured materials through the construction site. Don't worry, not a single cent of the site's money was wasted. This is our small token of our appreciation... We feel bad that you come to the construction site so often and don't have a decent office or residence."

Lin Ze was very satisfied and coughed, saying, "Don't do it again. This is too extravagant."

Dominic was very happy when he heard this, knowing that Lin Ze liked this gift very much.

"Master Lin, shall we go inside and take a look?"

Everyone went in for a tour, and Niu Saner kept examining each room, thinking about how to improve the security level.

Dominic asked, "Master Lin, the decoration of many rooms has not been completed yet. Do you have any instructions?"

Lin Ze waved his hand and said, "Add a Coke button on my desk!"

Everyone looked at each other.
