"Regarding the water supply problem, we have designed two solutions. One is to transport water directly from Renchuan Port; the other is to purchase several small seawater desalination devices, which can save a lot of water costs."

Xu Dong frowned. The daily water supply of tens of thousands of people is indeed not an easy task.

However, he soon discovered the contradiction:

"Even if there are small seawater desalination devices, don't we still need seawater? Since we are all transporting water, why not transport fresh water directly?"

"Well, Lao Xu, we can build a water pipeline. Seawater can not only be used for desalination, but also for bathing and washing clothes. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone." Mr. Cai explained.

"Water pipeline? No, no, the cost is too high. We can't build it."

Xu Dong shook his head repeatedly.

He opened a cheap apartment to make money, not to do charity. .

Director Lu said, "Brother Xu, in the near future, Hancheng officials will definitely follow our example and lay water pipelines.

I guess their main line will definitely be built along the Hanjiang River. We only need to add a branch line, and the investment is not much."

Xu Dong looked at the documents in his hand. Guanyue District is not far from the Hanjiang River, at most two or three kilometers. With this calculation, it really doesn't cost much.

"Go on."

"In addition, we can also use the tap water network in Guanyue District, which can not only save a lot of construction costs, but also deliver water to households."

Xu Dong finally showed a little interest: "Do you mean supplying tap water? No, it should be supplying tap sea water?"

"That's right, the entire Guanyue District is our territory, we can do whatever we want to rebuild."

"It's a good idea. Let's make a record first. After the Hancheng water pipeline is repaired, we will follow up immediately."

Xu Dong directly ordered.

Next, everyone discussed other issues, and it was not until the evening that the reconstruction plan was roughly determined.

…

After saying goodbye to Mr. Cai and others, Xu Dong went to his father's office on the way. This time, he was lucky that his father just came back.

He went forward and touched the Golden Horse.

"Have you dealt with the matter of the Kuai8 Hotel?"

Xu Dong rubbed his sore neck: "I was in a meeting all day, and I was exhausted."

"Can't stand it after one day? Your dad is like this every day, and I also persevered."

Xu's father said unhappily.

Xu Dong knew that he was in the wrong, so he didn't follow the argument, but quickly changed the topic:

"Dad, how is the bakery going?"

"It's almost done. Two-thirds of the production line has been installed, and it will be completed by the end of the month."

"Isn't this too fast? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Dong asked curiously.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you. The city plans to promote student bread, and the extra production capacity is specifically for this service." Xu's father replied.

"Student bread? What is that?"

Whether in his previous life or this life, Xu Dong had never heard of this thing.

"It's almost the same as student milk."

"Free?"

Dad Xu shook his head: "I heard from Secretary Yao that it's free on the surface, but when distributing rations, big data will deduct it in advance. Just think about it, how can the city have so much food."

"Then what's the point of doing this?"

Xu Dong was full of question marks.

"Of course it is meaningful. One is to prevent a few parents from doing nothing. In addition, the city has applied for a batch of nutritious foods from the reserve warehouse, which will be added to the bread at that time, which is equivalent to giving students extra meals in disguise."

"What nutritious foods?"

"I don't know what they are specifically. I heard that there are fats, shredded meat, sugar and the like. Oh, and dried shrimps, which should be the kind we eat at home."

Xu Dong nodded thoughtfully: "Will it be promoted nationwide?"

"I don't know. It seems to be just a test this time. A total of three cities have been selected. The other two are Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou. It is estimated that they will decide whether to promote it nationwide based on the test results!"

"How long will the test last?"

"Only one year."

"Wouldn't the other cities suffer a big loss?"

Xu Dong couldn't help complaining.

After all, their family didn't get any wool in their previous life, so it's inevitable that they are a little indignant.

Dad Xu looked at his youngest son in surprise.

"It's not as simple as you think. Other cities will definitely have related subsidies. This is not something we can control, so don't ask around."

Xu Dong said helplessly: "When will it start?"

"If there are no accidents, starting from the first of next month, this month's rations will be distributed, and we can't collect them even if we want to."

"Will the factory make a profit by producing student bread?"

Xu Dong asked a very critical question.

Dad Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Why do you always think about making money? This is a public welfare cause. Aren't you afraid of being criticized?"

"Dad, do you think I want to? It's all because of the billions of loans. With this delay, when can our family pay off the loan?"

Xu Dong couldn't help complaining.

"Don't worry about the loan. The next 2 billion is an interest-free loan, and the repayment pressure is not great." Dad Xu quickly comforted him.

"Is this about the interest?"

Xu Dong complained secretly.

Perhaps sensing his youngest son's dissatisfaction, Dad Xu also became anxious. After all, it was a full 4 billion loan, like a mountain.

"Third brother, are you sure about that cheap apartment?"

"It should be OK, right?"

Xu Dong recalled his past life, vaguely remembering that Hancheng seemed to be developing well. There was a family in their community who immigrated directly with a lot of relatives.

"I recently asked someone to inquire about the progress of the Asian Union negotiations. It seems that it is not as good as you said. I heard that the differences are quite large. Everyone said that there may not be a chance within ten years."

Dad Xu expressed doubt.

Speaking of this, Xu Dong suddenly became confident: "Dad, don't listen to those people's nonsense. I work in an electric power company and know more than them. How about I analyze it for you?"

Dad Xu picked up the water cup and took a sip of deer antler tea.

"Well, our country has been short of coal since last year. The situation this year is not expected to be optimistic. Lack of coal means lack of electricity, which is a fatal thing."

"What is the relationship between lack of coal and the establishment of the Asian Union?"

Dad Xu couldn't figure out the connection.

Xu Dong had to patiently analyze: "Dad, the main reason for our lack of coal in China is the difficulty of mining and transportation.

But there is a place that not only has rich coal reserves and can be mined for hundreds of years, but is also close to the coastline and is not difficult to transport. Can you guess which place it is?"

"Where?"

Dad Xu only has a junior high school education, not to mention that he is asking about such unpopular geographical knowledge. He probably forgot it decades ago, or even thought he had never learned it at all.

"It's Kangaroo Country."

Xu Dong gave the answer directly.

Dad Xu was confused: "Kangaroo Country did not participate in the Asian Union negotiations."

"It doesn't matter whether Kangaroo Country participates in the negotiations or not. What's important is whether we can control the coal mines over there." Xu Dong said in a low voice.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Dong also knew that his father couldn't understand too profound things, so he simply explained in plain language:

"Only when the Asian Union is established can we take advantage of the situation to stabilize the United States and the European Union, dispel their unreasonable thoughts, and force them to recognize that we have the final say on this land."

Dad Xu finally understood.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his youngest son made sense.

In fact, Xu Dong's approach is a typical case of the cause leading to the effect, and he naturally has an advantage. If he is willing to be a big boss on a small broken station, he will definitely become the top brother in the economic zone.
