Chapter 19 - Lingling Farm

After Song Ling finished working on the recruitment at noon, she left the afternoon recruitment to Luo Jiajia.

She went online to find a local architectural design company to make planning and design plans for the farm.

Song Ling picked the local Jian An Construction and Engineering Company, which is more famous and has a better reputation.

The customer service agent who answered the phone at Jian'an asked about Song Ling's request and then directly transferred the call to Cheng An, the head of the company's design department.

When the front desk customer service transferred the call to Cheng An, they had already roughly told him about Song Ling's request.

The project of a 500-acre farm is not small!

After Cheng An answered the phone, he greeted Song Ling very politely, "Hello! I am Cheng An, the head of the design department. What is your name?"

Song Ling responded back, "Hello! My name is Song Ling, I'm the owner of Lingling Farm, I would like to ask you to help me make a planning and design plan for that 500 acres big farm of mine, I wonder how much you charge?"

Cheng An asked again carefully, "Ms. Song, do you just want to draw a planning design? Or do you want to draw the plans and then find us to build the project together?"

Song Ling asked: "Please tell me about these two situations, and I will look at the options."

"Good."

Cheng An carefully explained to her, "If it's just a drawing of a planning and design plan, a typical 500-acre planning and design drawing is around fifty thousand yuan."

"If you contact us for the construction of your entire farm, then we'll cover this planning and design plans."

Song Ling thought about the construction of the entire farm, there are really a lot of projects to be done.

Road construction is a project worth about one million yuan.

To build a villa for her to live in, at least one million is the minimum.

There are also staff dormitories. She is planning to build an apartment-style building. She will build two more buildings. One will be used for guests to stay in the future. It is estimated that it will cost another one to two million yuan.

There is also a future farming plant, and a fruit packing plant, etc. ...

Song Ling told Cheng An about these projects that were probably going to be built.

Cheng An immediately said, "Ms. Song, this project of yours is quite large, how about this, I'll go over to your side now to take a look and make an on-site survey, and then we'll discuss the details face-to-face, how about that?"

Song Ling also hoped that this matter could be resolved quickly, "Of course, you are welcome to come over for field inspection."

Before a building is constructed, they do have to do work such as surveying the foundation.

Cheng An put down the phone and immediately called two people from the engineering department, then took his assistant with him. The four of them drove two cars and went straight to Lao Song's Seafood Restaurant.

Song Ling and Cheng An made an appointment to meet at Lao Song's Seafood Restaurant.

As soon as Cheng An and the others arrived and the two parties exchanged greetings, Song Ling took them to the farm.

After she cleaned up the 500-acre farm yesterday, the boundaries and scope were much clearer.

Song Ling led Cheng An and the others around inside the farm while telling them about her specific ideas for building the farm.

For example, which section to build a concrete road, which location she wants to build villas and staff dormitories, and which location she wants to build a farm, all of which were made clear to them.

Cheng An also took a notebook and wrote them down one by one.

When he arrived at the place where the building was to be built on the seashore, Cheng An let the two colleagues from the engineering department take the machine to survey the foundation to see if the area was suitable for the construction of the building.

The two men from the engineering department took out their miniature drilling machines and tested the data on the soil quality of the bearing layer, foundation capacities and so on in several places.

The floors of the villas and staff dormitories that Song Ling wanted to build were not too high, and small survey machines were enough.

The people in the engineering department were very familiar with these tasks and the survey was completed quickly.

When they found that there was no problem, they gave Cheng An an OK gesture.

After confirming that there was no problem with the construction of the building, Song Ling said to Cheng An again, "Manager Cheng, the most important thing for me right now is to ask you to draw up the planning and design plans, so that we can apply for a Planning Permit from the relevant departments, and only then can we talk about the next step of the project."

"If the "Planning Permit" can't be issued, it's useless for us to say more now, right?"

Cheng An understood very well, "You are right, then I will help you get the design drawings out overnight when I go back tonight, and I will hand over the plans to you tomorrow, and we will talk about the next step when your "Planning Permit" comes out." What do you think of the project?"

Song Ling chuckled, "Okay, no problem, I will thank you for the drawings."

"It's not hard, it's my job too."

Cheng An asked Song Ling for a topographic map of the 500 acres.

This topographical drawing was also taken by Song Ling with her cell phone at the village committee.

When Cheng An and the others were leaving, Song Ling found another opportunity to take out four 3-catty boxes of Cheerios from the space and gave Cheng An and the others a box each.

Cheng An and the others couldn't refuse politely, so they accepted Song Ling's kindness.

Now the farm has just started. Song Ling sent these fruits out as a favor and to advertise the farm first.

By the time this group of people became loyal customers of the farm, her fruit sales, too, would soon be open.

After sending Cheng An and the others away, Song Ling ordered many agricultural machines online, as well as agricultural drones for sowing, etc...

After everything was done, Song Ling felt exhausted both physically and mentally.

On this day, she didn't even accompany Little Xixi, and let her play with Song's father and mother in the store.

After dinner, she gave little Xixi a shower and put her to bed, and she rushed to the shower as well and fell right back to sleep.

After waking up with a deep sleep, It was already bright outside.

Song Ling took the cell phone that was placed on the nightstand and glanced at the time, it was 7:30 in the morning.

Remembering that the farm employees were going to start working today, Song Ling hurriedly got up and washed up, then went downstairs to have breakfast.

When she got down to the first floor, she realized that the dining room on the first floor was already full of people.

Shen Han and the ten of them all arrived, along with the other six employees recruited in the afternoon, all eating breakfast.

Song Ling's working hours for them are: 8:00 to 12:00, 2:30 to 6:30 in the afternoon, and the rest of the time is considered overtime.

When Song Ling arrived on the first floor, Luo Jiajia also arrived on a small electric bike.

Another cashier named Shu Ke, who is 35 years old this year, also arrived with her.

Song Ling greeted them and also took a bowl and filled it with a bowl of thin meat porridge with bok choy, then took a bun, filled it with a little bit of bok choy and pickles, and sat down to eat.

For their breakfasts, they go by the buffet style, where you want to eat what you want and fill it yourself, but you can't waste food.

If you pack a lot and don't eat it all, or have a lot left over, first warning, second penalty, third firing.

This rule, Song Ling specially printed out and pasted on the wall, so that every employee could see it and memorize it during meal time.

If she really meets someone who is a repeat offender, she will not be polite.
