Chapter 49 Waterworks
"Our Gangnan Village hasn't been this lively for a long time..."

At the head of the village, an old man leaned on a hoe and looked into the village.

Beside him, another old man said with emotion:
"Yeah, the last time the folks were so motivated was during the Great Leap Forward."

The former old man said again: "Father is a hero, what he said is not false at all."

The latter old man sneered and said, "Chen Laoliu, you should keep your mouth shut. What you said just now, if your second nephew heard it, it would be enough for you to drink a pot."

The old man called Chen Laoliu shook his head in disdain.

"You are afraid of that Chen Erji, that's your business. Who am I, Chen Laoliu, afraid of? Today I made it clear that Yang Jiankun is a great hero, his son is a great hero, and both of them are first-class big men. What's wrong? You go to Chen Erji to inform me? Do you think he dares to touch my finger?"

The last old man apologized and said with a smile: "You mess up the affairs of your old Chen's family. What I want to remind you is that the bully doesn't like to hear his father's name."

Chen Laoliu immediately turned off the fire, sneered for a while, and then spoke again:
"I really don't know what the little bastard Chen Erjiao is thinking. The bully pays, the villagers work hard, and everyone works together to repair the road in the village. What a wonderful thing, why does he want to stop it?"

The last old man had a malicious look on his face, and he said with a smile: "The bully has violated his official authority, of course he must be stopped."

Chen Laoliu paused heavily on the handle of the hoe in his hand, and heaved a long sigh.

"Stop talking, let's work, the little boy is busy, and we old guys can't do nothing but watch the fun."

……

Many people are powerful.

Gangnan Village was united as never before in the matter of road construction, and more than a thousand people from the whole village joined the battle.On the hills, laborers wield iron hammers and mothers-in-law support steel drills. On the hills, men pull carts in front and women push behind them.

In the rice field, the building material supplier sent a truckload of cement and yellow sand, and more than a dozen skilled workers piled the gravel, yellow sand and cement into mounds in proportion.The process of road construction is to dig the road first, then pave it with stones, fill it with dry soil, tamp it down, and finally lay concrete.

It's not the last process yet, but it's always right to be ready first.

Everyone was sweating and working, but Yang Rui was the only one who was suspected by thousands of people. He couldn't swing the hammer well, he couldn't hold the drill upright, and the villagers digging roads and paving stones thought he was an eyesore. The only thing he was good at, boiling water and making tea, was taken over by Zhang Shaoben.

That's right, if the bully pays the money, and if he is asked to work hard, the villagers will not be able to get over this psychological hurdle.

In fact, it doesn't cost much.

The villagers work for themselves, so they are naturally embarrassed to ask for wages, which saves this expense, and they just buy some cement and yellow sand, which is about [-] yuan.

Fifty thousand yuan is not an astronomical figure for the village, and it can be paid out by gnashing one's teeth. It is really reluctant to pay the money, and you can choose the next best thing. Instead of repairing the cement road, change it to a gravel rammed earth road, which can also benefit the more than 1000 fathers and villagers in the village.

I really want to thank Village Chief Chen for leaving such a good job that doesn't cost much but can attract people's hearts to him, Yang Rui.

Since he couldn't find anything to do, Yang Rui simply got on the motorcycle and took his cousin Zhu Zai out for a drive.

Piggy was a little reluctant. The villagers were sweating in the village, but he sat on the back seat of the motorcycle and watched the scenery. He felt guilty and panicked, but he didn't dare to disobey the orders of the bully brother.

However, Brother Bully went around several times along the west bank of the Xijiang River, but he just didn't want to go back to the village.

Piggy couldn't bear it any longer, and begged, "Brother bully, let's go back, you've been spinning around for several times, I'm almost dizzy by you."

Yang Rui said: "I'm tired of eating in the martial arts school cafeteria these days, piggy, are you interested in going to Gangdong Village with me to have a hard meal?"

Going to Gangdong Village... Then what should I do with the work I owe to the villagers... A tear of guilt rolled down the corner of my mouth.

Yang Rui turned around and drove towards Gangdong Village.

Hearing the tyrant's visit, Zhao Gongbo hurriedly greeted him out of the house, and when he saw him, he was inevitably scolded. The eldest nephew should have sent someone to inform him, so that Uncle Zhao's family could make preparations. It was really rude to do so hastily.

Your red carpet is too eye-catching, I can't bear it...Yang Rui complained secretly, but on the face he said politely: "Uncle Zhao, you are being polite, our family doesn't talk about each other, I think it's kinder without some formal etiquette."

These words are really heart-warming, especially the address, although only one character is missing, but the distance has been shortened ten times or even a hundred times.Zhao Gongbo was all smiles, let Yang Rui into the house, and then told his wife to call the chef of the family quickly, and no one else will be arranged to accompany the wine tonight, just the two of them...

Zhao Gongbo caught a glimpse of the little fat man from the corner of his eye, and quickly changed his words, just the three of them had a good drink or two.

It doesn't matter whether it's two or three fathers, what's important is that Zhao Gongbo's arrangement fits Yang Rui's intentions, he's here to talk to Zhao Gongbo, and it's inconvenient to have others present.

There was still a while before the meal, Zhao Gongbo invited Yang Rui and his brothers to the tea table, starting with the dining table and chairs, and naturally brought the topic to business.

Zhao Gongbo said: "Nephew, to tell you the truth, I still have a fund of nearly 16 yuan in my account. I used to think that I would not panic if I had enough food at home, but these two days I always felt that this was a bit ill-considered. I thought about it. Money lying in the account will not give birth to cubs, so I have to use it to do something. You have to work hard, give uncle some advice."

Yang Rui took a sip of tea and said, "I came to you because I wanted to do business with you."

Zhao Gongbo came to his senses: "Oh, what kind of business is the eldest nephew planning?"

Yang Rui replied seriously: "I want to run a waterworks."

Zhao Gongbo was stunned for a moment, the temperature in his heart dropped to freezing point in an instant.

What kind of business is this!

Cities, counties, and villages have long enjoyed tap water, and another one in the local area can supply only a few nearby villages with less than [-] households. Not to mention the small market capacity, the worst thing is that rural households have the habit of spending money on drinking water?

He was about to question a few words, but suddenly he realized a serious problem. This person in front of him is a god-like existence who has earned millions of dollars in just three years from scratch. Do you question him?The joke is not!

Zhao Gongbo reacted quickly, and changed his mentality in seconds, from questioning to asking for advice.

"Nephew, uncle is stupid and can't think too much. Tell uncle, how big is this water plant?"

What a big deal?
Yang Rui pondered for a while, um, compared to the projects I planned, this waterworks is just a bad brother, but it can still be regarded as a sweet pastry in the eyes of others.

"Uncle, how about the tea you drank at my martial arts school two days ago?"

Zhao Gongbo was slightly taken aback. He didn't expect the bully to talk about drinking tea instead of tap water.

"Pretty good! I'm still wondering, it's all Tieguanyin. I chewed your Tieguanyin, and it doesn't feel much better than mine. How come the tea made is so different?"

Yang Rui said with a smile: "The difference is not in the tea, but in the water. You use river water. Even after sedimentation, there are still many impurities, and the taste and taste are not satisfactory. But I use pure water, which is filtered by high-tech equipment. Such a big bucket costs more than three yuan in the city."

Zhao Gongbo's eyes could not help but brighten up.

When drinking tea at the martial arts school that day, he did see the bucket containing water. He thought that although the bucket was high-end, it contained the same river water. Unexpectedly, the water was really high-end.

A barrel can sell for more than three yuan, so if he buys thousands of barrels a day and sells them in the city, wouldn't he make a fortune?
"This business, uncle has done it!"

It really is a sweet pastry...Yang Rui smiled lightly and said:
"I've chosen the factory site, it's on the edge of the Xijiang River, the site of your village..."

Zhao Gongbo interjected and asked, "How much land do you need?"

Yang Rui said: "It doesn't need to be too big, two or three acres is enough."

The geology of the riverside is not suitable for growing crops. Instead of leaving it deserted, it is better to use it to do something. Zhao Gongbo sketched the scene of the riverside in his mind, smiled slightly, and said: "We will choose whichever one you like."

Yang Rui continued: "I have inspected, and a production line of pure water is about 12 yuan. Uncle, your village has landed and built factories and reservoirs. I am responsible for purchasing production equipment. In terms of shares, we are [-] to [-]."

Zhao Gongbo responded quickly, "Moo's questions are all up to you."

After eating and drinking enough, Zhu Zai expressed his dissatisfaction with Yang Rui for the first time when he came out of Gangdong Village.Such a good business, why should it be left to Gangdong Village, can't it just stay in your own village?
Yang Rui was speechless.

If the waterworks in the city were not so slanderous, and they would charge 10 yuan just to bring tap water into the village, he wouldn't bother to build a waterworks.But the life without running water is really difficult, let alone other things, just say that the bathroom in the new house spent so much money is almost useless, the water heater can't be used, and the toilet has to be operated purely by hand.

No wonder Piggy had a problem.

While eating and drinking, Zhao Gongbo couldn't contain his excitement. He calculated the future income of the water plant with his fingers. If he was conservative, he estimated that he could make a net profit of RMB [-] to [-] in a month, and he could recover all the investment in half a year at most.

After hearing these words, Piggy naturally became jealous.Thinking about his own Gangnan Village, the most profitable ferry business at the time was not half as good as the water plant.

Yang Rui didn't bother to explain to his little cousin that this fat boy hated Gangdong Village from the bottom of his heart like most of the villagers in Gangnan Village. How could he understand the good intentions of his bully cousin?
