Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2047 A mouthful of respect

Ji Donglai actively discussed with the old chief and finally decided to invest in the construction of a rock wool production line locally and simultaneously build a synthetic paper production line. These two lines alone would employ up to one thousand workers.

In order to simultaneously drive the development of the entire industrial chain, the local authorities gave the green light, and the old chief also asked some of his men to lay down their weapons and go to Ji Donglai's factory to work.

This time, Ji Donglai did not call Qiu Ranran, but instead transferred people from Central Asia’s own team to guide the construction.

With the experience of building factories in the five Central Asian countries, the team is familiar with the work.

"Use the excavator here, no human intervention is needed, the ground is full of stones. Also, the stones must be cleaned, otherwise the cement will break! This water cannot be used either, it is too alkaline, we must dig a new well..."

This is the biggest project this year. The engineers from China dare not be careless at all. As the local water source is extremely alkaline, the engineers will never allow the construction to start.

The construction problem was not solved until a drilling team from Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing dug a 140-meter-deep well here. Of course, new problems also arose.

"Let the villagers go away. We need to build. Why do they always come to fetch water? This has affected our work. We can't go on like this for long!"

Looking at the group of villagers outside the construction site who were carrying buckets to fetch water, the engineers were yelling at them, but it was of no use to the local villagers.

For a long time, these people drank water from a river more than ten kilometers away, and rode donkeys out to fetch water from afar every day.

Now that there is a deep well made by Yiyuan Intelligence, the locals believe according to tradition that it should belong to everyone, not just Yiyuan Intelligence.

"Don't be impatient. Go to the train station and get two oil tanks for trains. Clean them and put them here! Pour a foundation here and use water tanks to store the water."

"They still think that everything here is shared by everyone. Don't be surprised! We should try our best to follow the local ideas. A little loss is not a problem. Don't cause conflicts. Communicate with the local chiefs first!"

Faced with the anger of his construction site manager, Ji Donglai did not blame him at all. He was even used to this situation.

For a long time, people here have survived in this way. Everything that was once shared has really become private property. Eighty percent of the people here will starve to death.

"Doing business here requires such a huge initial investment. Can we make any profit?"

Zhao Shuying also came here, and the water tanks brought from the train station were already in place.

The inlet and outlet of the large water tank, which is fifteen meters high and four meters in diameter, are all sealed, the inlet and outlet pipes are re-welded, the valves are connected, and a water level gauge is added at the water inlet, followed by an automatic pumping control end and a sewage valve.

Outside the factory gate, a small valve was connected separately for the villagers to get water.

Contrary to what everyone knows, this time Ji Donglai installed a row of push-type valves.

Just press once to dispense a fixed amount of water. If you want to continue to get water, you need to press it again to prevent local people from getting used to the long-term running water.

The entire large water tank weighs five tons, and there are two water tanks arranged in parallel. The first one is used for sedimentation and filtration, and the second one is a formal water storage tank. Even if it is sold as pure iron, the two water tanks are nearly 50,000 yuan, not including the foundation.

"So almost no businessmen in our country go out to do business. They all hide in the country to enjoy the welfare infrastructure in the country. The initial investment for doing business abroad is very large." "Especially in places like this where primary markets are transforming into advanced markets."

"But there are also benefits. Once we successfully develop and build a good business here, at least half of the future market will belong to us. From now on, the beverage factory next door, the glass wool factory here, and the synthetic paper factory will all be supplied with water from here. We have to learn to live in harmony with the locals."

"The ancient civilization of this place was very glorious, but it was suppressed by various empires. They were all worried that it would rise or restore its former glory and threaten their own global territory."

"Do you see that over there? Legend has it that it was once a city-state, very glorious. A few days ago, a local sold me some jewelry that was dug out from there!"

"The British, the Soviets, the Americans, and the gangs before them came here and destroyed it countless times. Now there is only yellow earth over there."

"If they were still as glorious as they were in ancient times, there would be many people coming to do business. That's why there are opportunities for grassroots people like us. Now that they are mature, who will give us opportunities?"

Ji Donglai said leisurely as he took Zhao Shuying for a stroll in the factory he was building.

The vast majority of the locals are semi-military organizations, and with the help of managers from the old chief, they work very efficiently.

There are stones everywhere here, and labor is the least valuable.

Donkey carts and Sibuxiang transported construction materials here day and night. Ji Donglai cleared a piece of land next to the maintenance base and began to use local scrapped cars to continue making Sibuxiang.

The locals, who were eager to develop, had a great demand for this cheap and efficient means of transportation. Some people knew that Ji Dong came here to buy donkeys, and some even brought donkeys to exchange for cars.

In a market lacking credit currency, the only bargaining chip for trading with Ji Donglai is goods. Fortunately, Ji Donglai has been deeply involved in this area for many years.

"That's true, but I feel like the wind is blowing in the wrong direction lately. Some people are starting to find fault with us, especially since we sold so many physical manufacturers."

"Recently, our funds have been checked several times, and some funds have been frozen. I submitted the information and it was unlocked!"

Zhao Shuying was not used to the local environment. Even after wearing a three-layer mask, she could still smell a strong smell of dust. Local people did not wear masks at all and some even worked while smoking.

When it comes to domestic finance, Zhao Shuying feels uncomfortable.

Ji Donglai now needs a lot of capital to do business overseas. It is true that the domestic high-tech industry is gradually recovering, but it is far from keeping up with the speed at which the reducer and equipment manufacturing used in masks make money.

Even though One Yuan Ranch is making a lot of money now, Ji Donglai sold them all at a premium and now he can only watch.

Funding was always so difficult, and Zhao Shuying felt like she was being targeted.

"The Great Wall is now investigating Kan Changshun. It's time. This group of so-called financial management companies have been moving their overseas operations to China for many years and have been deceiving people for many years. Now that the economic crisis has broken out, they are doing their utmost to cover up their own holes."

"Of course, more and more people are starting to fill the gap by threatening their clients. This is no secret! Anyone who used to do financial management with them will not have a good life now."
