Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1065
Dawa said helplessly: "We also know, but what if we don't cultivate? People on the mountain dare not go out, and people outside dare not come in. If this continues, we will have to leave our village!"

I thought for a while and said, "Well, let me ask you first, how much will the project cost? Then, I will work with you to figure out a solution!"

Dawa seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and stepped forward to give me a hug.

I took out my mobile phone, changed the phone card, and didn't care what time it was, so I called Du Hong directly.

It took a while for the other end of the phone to pick up. Du Hong should have not slept yet, when he heard a questioning voice from a man on the other end of the phone: "Who is it? Calling you in the middle of the night?"

I smiled and said to the phone: "Is there a problem? Then when it is convenient for you, I will call you again?"

Du Hong said angrily and amusedly, "You know it's inconvenient for me to call me at this time, why don't you check what time is it? What's important, call me now!" Then I heard Du Hong say: "It's okay, my former boss...isn't an old horse...Why are you so suspicious? Mr. Chen! Go to bed first!"

Then Du Hong explained to me: "Our former college classmates, we are going to get married!"

I said loudly, "Congratulations! Remember to invite me to a wedding wine!"

Du Hong hummed and said, "That's for sure, by the way, I heard that you haven't returned to Zhuhai? Many people are looking for you now, and they don't know where you went? Everyone still cares about you. Don't disappear from everyone's sight all of a sudden! Bao'er talks about how the master was before, how to say it, what would he do if he was the master? Give her a call when you have time!"

I was very relieved and said: "I see, I have a lot of things here, I am busy, I will call her! I have something to do with you!"

Du Hong said with a sharp cut: "You must be looking for me for something. It's okay. Do you still care about my private life? Tell me, as long as you don't want the moon in the sky, I can do it. I will satisfy you! "

I giggled and said, "You are not good at being satisfied, the person on your bed will definitely feel a little jealous!"

Du Hong laughed and said, "You're still so shameless! Let's get down to business, or it will be dawn!"

I sighed and said, "That's right. I need to consult the slope protection engineering company about the charges for the slope protection project. Let's take a look at the slope of more than 1 kilometer. How much will it cost to do it?"

Du Hong thought for a long time before asking: "Why are you engaged in road administration? It seems that the end is really dead!"

I sighed and said: "It's not me doing it, it doesn't make money, I just ask my friends, for fear of being cheated!"

Du Hong hummed and said, "Then it's too late now. I know all the companies in China Construction and China Railway, and I have dealt with them a lot in my projects. I'll call you back tomorrow morning!"

I hummed and said, "That's fine, I'll trouble you!"

Du Hong made a cut and hung up the phone.

I turned my head, looked at the folks who were full of expectations for me, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's too late. I'll tell you when I finish asking questions tomorrow morning!"

Everyone nodded and left one after another.

Dawa pointed to the money on the coffee table, and said to me: "You take your money back first, we can't take this money, you can help us ask the price, it will help us a lot!" After speaking, without counting, I grabbed the wad of money above and put it in my pocket.

I took the money, mixed it into the pile of money, spread my hands and said, "Now I don't know which ones belong to me and which ones belong to others! Brother Dawa, this money is considered to be my visit to your house A year's food and lodging expenses!"

Dawa shook his head and said, "You are our friend, you don't need money to come to our house!"

I ignored him, yawned, and asked Dolma, "Where will I sleep tonight? I'm really not used to sleeping on this ground!"

Dolma pointed to one of the rooms and said, "You can sleep in that room, my brother's former room!"

I nodded, and fell asleep after entering the room. Driving a long-distance car is indeed a labor-intensive job.

When I woke up early the next morning, Du Hong called and told me that she had asked about the matter and said that she had to see the scene before she could quote.

I said with some dissatisfaction: "I just want a rough estimate, and I didn't say it should be very accurate!"

Du Hong said displeasedly: "Why are you so excited? They come to show you the scene for free, what's your dissatisfaction? It won't waste much time!"

I snorted and said, "Then you should notify them to come here as soon as possible, and I'll send you the location!"

Du Hong heaved a sigh and said, "Mr. Chen, these two companies are both prefixed with Chinese characters. They are not our own companies. This is not just what we say. It would be great if I could invite them. Already!"

I thought for a while and said, "That's right, I was impatient, so did they say when they can come and see?"

Du Hong replied: "I didn't say that, I just said that as soon as possible, I will send them the address right now!"

I hummed and said, "Okay, I'll wait for your news!"

I just hung up on Du Hong and changed the phone card. I saw more than a dozen missed calls, some from Ning Ning and some from Xiao Rong. I hurriedly called Ning Ning. Ning Ning said anxiously on the phone: "Brother Chen, according to the results of our experiment, Lutong is the highest, and Heyuan is second!"

I groaned and said, "Isn't this expected? Then why are you looking for me in such a hurry? Ask for credit?"

Ning Ning said angrily: "What kind of credit do you and I invite? What can I expect from you to reward me? I have other business with you. Now that stationmaster Yuan has invited 5 other manufacturers to come over to do experiments. It is said that there are 7 companies in total, and we can choose from 7 companies, so how can we make a high price?"

I frowned and asked, "Didn't I tell you to have a good relationship with that station? Didn't you go?"

Ning Ning said earnestly: "I went, and I said a lot of good things. He refused to take the things after I sent them over. I talked to him for a long time again, and he promised very well. Who knows at this moment, what happened?" Why did you arrange so many manufacturers to come over all of a sudden?"

I sighed and said: "Then you are the one who handles things so directly? Just put it mildly and give him more room for imagination. However, don't worry, this is not something he can decide. You should do it well." Just do what you want, I guess he wants to tell us that he also has his power, don't let us underestimate him because of someone above him!"

Ning Ning hummed and said: "I won't neglect him, I know that the King of Hades is easy to stop, but the little devil is hard to deal with, so I will look for him again!"

I immediately denied her thoughts and said: "No need, you don't need to look for him again until the bidding, as long as the meaning is conveyed, the specific subsequent things will depend on how he performs, and we will do what we need to do." Well, if he really gets other manufacturers involved, then I'll look for the relationship above, see and talk to him, talk to him!"

Ning Ning hummed and hung up the phone.

What Xiao Rong and Ning Ning said was the same thing, I told her the same thing again, and told her to tell the matter to the manufacturer at Heyuan, so that they have a sense of crisis, which is beneficial to us .

The first construction team that Du Hong found came to inspect the site and gave an estimate. The total price was about 400 million. The second team came over very quickly. The price is about 400 million, which shows that the total cost of this project is about this figure.

In the evening, Dawa and I sat by the stove and analyzed to him: "Brother Dawa, this project will cost more than 400 million yuan. You simply can't afford it. How many households do you have here?"

Dawa replied without thinking: "A total of 46 families, plus 35 families from another clan, all want to go this way!"

I did the math and said, "That's 81 households, each of which needs to pay at least 5 yuan. Besides, this project is not necessarily more than 400 million yuan. I guess the budget will definitely be increased at that time. This burden But it’s not small, can you persuade every household to contribute so much money? I think it’s very difficult, let’s not talk about whether they listen to you, what if they really don’t have that much money? You can’t force others to donate money to build your roads, can you? It’s not that the roads are impassable now. It’s only when the rainy season comes that you need to pass through the roads. You can choose to build some of the steeper roads, and wait for the rest. Wait! This way, your fee will be much less!"

Dawa said stubbornly: "No, we used to do repairs like this every year. Every time the repairs were completed, the rocks next to it fell again. Every time we walked on this road, we were always trembling. Every year there were cars. Someone was smashed inside, I must repair this road, no matter how much money I spend, I will repair this road even if I lose everything, this is also for our children and grandchildren!"

I was a little moved and said: "Brother Dawa, I can understand your thoughts, but it's just a fact that you don't have money. Even if you go bankrupt, you may not be able to repair it. Besides, this is not your business alone? Why did the local government If you don’t want to think of a way, such a dangerous road section often has accidents, so just ignore it?”

Dawa sighed and said: "It's not that they don't care, they really have no money. They also applied for fees from the higher authorities every year to build this road. It cost a lot of money at that time. Our place is high in altitude. The terrain is steep. When the road was built, our county government borrowed a lot of money, but we haven’t repaid it now. We have to spend money to build the road every year. You know, in addition to raising some cattle and sheep in our place, There is basically no income, and our place is different from Hongyuan, our grassland area is small, most of the sheep and cattle are herded on the mountains, poor!"

Zhuoma added: "If it weren't for the fact that we have held some traditional festivals to attract tourists from other places in recent years, our place is still very remote! Just now the income has improved, and we have encountered mudslides every year, and our tourists have decreased. Very good, if this continues, tourists will know that coming to us is dangerous, and our reputation will be bad, and our income will be lost again!"

I thought for a while and said: "No matter what, I can't spend my own money to repair the slope. This is really a bottomless hole, and you can't fill it up! Let me figure out a way for you!"

After thinking about it for a while, I took out the red stone, and having an idea, I hurried to find Dawa and discussed with him: "Brother Dawa, do you still remember this stone?"

Dawa took the stone, looked at it, and replied honestly: "This is not my stone. My stone is much bigger than this one. Did you lose it? Don't worry, I'm just talking. I won't blame you!"

I smiled gratifiedly and said: "I didn't lose it, this is your stone, but it was covered with a layer of red soil on the surface, after I removed it, it is now the same size! This stone is bloodstone, very valuable , but this piece is too small and has no craft value, can you still find the source of this ore?"

Dawa said uncertainly: "This is not necessarily the case. I dug it out when I went up the mountain when I was a child. Now I don't quite remember the place!"

I forced to ask: "Hurry up and recall, recall, I think about it, this is a rare resource! If you can find it, let's go to the local county government and state government and ask them to give us mining rights. Let's just mine these ores directly, and then we can have money to build roads!"

Dawa shook his head and objected: "The mountain is our mother and our god. We can't dig out meat from our mother to make money!"

I looked at Dolma, and Dolma also shook her head helplessly, signaling me not to say any more.

I sighed, and persuaded me: "Brother, listen to me, the resources on this mountain are originally used to develop and benefit people, so you don't use them there and let your people continue to live. The hard life is to be worthy of your mother and your people? Have you ever asked their opinions? I am not cutting down trees or forests. ?"

Dawa still disagreed and said: "No, no, after you excavate, you will definitely destroy the mountains and forests, and then you will leave after making money, and the rest will be barren, we have already experienced it, this method will not work , you can think of other ways! By the way, didn’t you sell our souvenirs? How about it?”

I curled my lips and said: "It's selling well, but it takes time. It needs to be continuously promoted and advertised. This is the initial investment! Even if I can help you promote it, there are still transportation problems Ah, just in case, I help you get a large order, and you can't ship it, and you delay the delivery date, and you will be fined to death once! Brother Dawa, listen to me, I will not harm you! "

Dawa waved his hand and stopped listening to my persuasion, but turned around and walked into his room.

I sighed, and said to Dolma: "Don't be discouraged, I'll just think of other ways!"
