Wolong Village at the foot of the mountain finally ushered in a change.
This change is not only the appearance of the village, but more importantly the whole mental appearance of the villagers.
In the morning and in the afternoon, cannons are fired on the mountain twice a day, and then there is a full-blown work scene.
Almost all men who have the ability to work work in the mines. After the guns are fired, there are scattered or loose ore. Their task is to use their strength to get these ore down and pile them into piles, and then move them away in a truck.
Working from morning to night is very tired, but they don’t feel tired.
The previous life was monotonous and boring. After working on a few acres of Susukino or a few fruit trees on the mountain, I was left at home.
The men drank wine and smoked dry tobacco, squatted in the shade of the trees in summer, and leaned against the wall to bask in the sun in winter. Young but like a dozen-year-old man.
The women fed the animals and raised their children. They were so angry that they scolded the masters, and then they stopped by for a chattering story. The eastern parent, Li Jiadan, was rumored to have nothing wrong with it.
These are the lives of villagers in Wolong Village.
They experience numbness and are used to and even enjoying such a life.
As for change, I never thought that ancestors have come here for generations. An old farmer in a ravine should live like this.
Since the village opened a mine to recruit people, until the wages were paid, their eyes finally had color when looking at the banknotes in their hands.
The color of hope.
It turned out that being able to make so much money with my own hands has evolved into a series of things that I can build new houses like Shi Youfu and Liu Zhong’s family, and I can cut a few catties of meat from time to time, and I don’t just need to spend the Chinese New Year. Buy new clothes for the child.
The tangible benefits are available, and they have a head start.
Hope, it can really change the insensitive heart.
At the foot of the mountain at the west end of village, a large yard was built with a big sign of "Plain Iron Mine" erected at the door, and inside is a row of newly built houses that serve as office and accommodation areas for iron ore.
Li Pingyuan was attentively lowering his head to count the money, there was a spitting sound from time to time, and piles of banknotes were scattered on the table.
Daguang stood on one side with a look of envy in his eyes, and then realized that he was out of shape, and quickly turned his head.
Maybe if you don’t watch it, you don’t want to.
After counting the money, Li Pingyuan was already sweating profusely, tired and excited.
He counted out another pile, patted it on the table, "Here is it for you, take me a drink, brothers."
Daguang hurriedly turned his head and bowed and walked over. When he got the money, his brows frowned slightly, thinking that he could only drink a little wine.
Li Pingyuan lit a cigarette and snorted coldly, "Don't be unsatisfied, just mix with me, as long as you make money in the mine, you will be indispensable!"
Daguang nodded and laughed, "Mr. Li, don't worry, my life is yours!"
Li Pingyuan laughed loudly, "Good boy, you can teach you!"
The big bald head wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Li Pingyuan took a mouthful of cigarettes, raised Erlang’s legs, and said, "How long can you say that Shi Youfu can last? You beat him another day, don't you give him a shame."
Daguang asked tentatively: "Do you need to do it?"
Li Pingyuan smiled and said: "No, we are in Wolong Village after all. It is not appropriate to commit public outrage, let alone point to those untouchables to make money."
After speaking, Li Pingyuan walked out of the house and looked up at the mountain, his face full of joy.
What he saw was Jinshan, what he saw was banknotes, what he saw was beautiful women in luxury houses and cars.
……
……
Village Chief Liu Zhong’s house, the two father and son sit on the kang, simmering small wine, and drinking.
Liu Zhi's face was flushed and radiant. This college student did not go outside during the internship. He always stayed in Wolong Village and stared at the plain iron ore, just like a hungry wolf watching the flock of sheep.
He wants to get the most out of it.
But the good thing is that it doesn’t jump into my hands for no reason.
Liu Zhi worked several things privately, which made his father's contribution to Li Pingyuan more and more, and at the same time demonstrated greater strength and ability.
The greater the strength, the more bargaining chips.
Finally, Li Pingyuan promised that Liu Zhi would come to work directly at the iron ore mine after graduation and directly serve as the vice president.
Liu Zhi knew that Li Pingyuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp. The vice president listened very nicely, probably just a false job.
But Liu Zhi doesn't care about this. The important thing is to be able to stand on this platform and have the opportunity to demonstrate his ability. Will he be a false job? Do you have real power? Li Pingyuan can't help him.
In the same position, whether you can play well depends on the individual!
Liu Zhong took a sip of wine and said, "Son, Mr. Li is really good to our family. You will do well with him in the future."
Liu Zhi smiled and said nothing. His father's thoughts were so simple that he couldn't understand what was inside, and it made no sense to tell him.
Liu Zhi turned off the topic and said, "Dad, tomorrow you go to the mine and ask Li Pingyuan to quit the villagers who are close to Shi Youfu."
Liu Zhong said in shock: "Why? It's all from the village folks, this is not appropriate!"
Liu Zhi said: "Now we are desperate to suppress Shi Youfu, let him become the target of public criticism, and force him to give the mountain bag to Li Pingyuan!"
Liu Zhong is even more puzzled by these words~EbookFREE.me~ It's just that he is used to not understanding his son's ideas, college students!
Although puzzled, Liu Zhong was very obedient and said: "Shi Youfu is a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, this is very difficult to handle!"
Liu Zhi said with a smile: "I have already found out clearly. These days, Shi Youfu has found a lot of people, and none of them opened mines with him. Now his mountain is a hot potato. If you can't eat it, you can't get it out."
Liu Zhong thought for a while, and asked: "But it's so cheap for Li Pingyuan?"
In his consciousness, if Shi Youfu gave the mountain bag to Li Pingyuan, all the benefits would be his.
Liu Zhi looked at the idiot father, sighed, and said: "You just do what I said, I naturally have a back move."
Liu Zhong grinned and drank a glass of wine, which was comfortable.
Of course Liu Zhi had his own ideas. After taking Shi Youfu, he once again negotiated with Li Pingyuan as a condition.
His ultimate goal is to take this stake in the mine.
How much money can I earn by working part-time for a lifetime? What Liu Zhi wants is shares. As long as he becomes a partner, doesn't he have real power?
Liu Zhi rolled a dry cigarette and said casually: "I heard that the boy from the rich family went to Zhang Xiaobai!"
The speaker has no intention, and the listener is confused.
The name Zhang Xiaobai hasn't appeared in Liu Zhi's heart for a long time, but when he heard it again, he still felt resentment.
Liu Zhi picked up the wine cup and said in a deep voice, "Don't mention him in front of me in the future!"
Liu Zhong nodded and said yes.
At this time, a woman wearing an apron suddenly walked into the house, "There is another major event in our village. The rich boy from Shi You has brought back a rich man driving a car!"
Liu Zhi was shocked!
