He took out the map of Linxian that he bought for two yuan, like a commander, looked at it for a long time, and flipped through the thick pile of data reports, and almost had the bottom in his heart.

Judging from the positive data available so far, all the mats in the hands of the villagers east of the Daqing River have been in his hands, about 2,000 per day.

Judging from the information reflected by these villagers, most of the villagers west of the Daqing River are on the sidelines, and many people are beginning to hoard mats, waiting for Wu Yingcheng or Wei Qiang to rush into the market in Qinghe Town, so that they can sell them for a high price.

The most important thing now is how to enter Qinghe Town without side effects and swallow the remaining half of the fat under the premise of ensuring profits.

Tang Ershan saw Wu Yingcheng frowning and didn't speak for a long time, and put forward his opinion.

"Brother Wu, why don't we learn from Wei Qiang, let's fight violence with violence, force what we can, fight what we can, and quickly swallow the mat west of Qinghe Town, so that we can start the nearby Beishan Town before him. ”

Wu Yingcheng shook his head, "Now this society is no better than the old society, everything has rules and regulations, Wei Qiang's way is powerful, but there are too many sequelae." ”

Tang Ershan disagreed, and said: "Brother Wu, what do you care about him, don't you have any sequelae, first seize the market, if we are slow, I am afraid that in a few days, Beishan Town will also be his." ”

In this life, whether it is the first life or the second life, many things cannot develop according to their own ideas, which is Wu Yingcheng's consistent view.

The topography of Beishan Town is a bit like Da'an Town, most of the villages in the town are in the old mountains, the terrain is narrow, and the output of mats is limited, in fact, Wu Yingcheng does not want to fight.

Qinghe Town is different, thanks to the Daqing River and its tributaries, the water source is abundant, the bamboo is particularly abundant, and the annual mat production can be compared with Dahu Town, if it can be stabilized, Beishan Town can be used as a buffer zone for him to compete with Wei Qiang.

It's just that these words can't be said yet, firstly, although Beishan Town is small, it is also a piece of meat, secondly, it cannot discourage the enthusiasm of Tang Ershan and others, and thirdly, Wei Qiang is menacing, maybe Qinghe Town will temporarily become a buffer zone.

"Tang Ershan, you have to remember that sometimes the easier it is to get something, the easier it is to lose, Qinghe Town is the key to our fight with Wei Qiang, we must ensure that there are no worries in order to win, you let me think about what to do again. ”

Although Tang Ershan was in a hurry, he still went to pour him a glass of water, and then sat aside and waited quietly.

Wu Yingcheng took a sip of water, memorized the names of several key people on the information in his heart, closed his eyes, and let his memory go back to his previous life.

This is his only advantage, if he wants to achieve this stable word, he must find an agent like Wan Qingchun and Song Beilin, this person must be trustworthy, and he must be able to suffer losses.

Who is this man?

The names of the people he had sorted out before turned in his mind one by one, and soon a name appeared.

Cao Yingsong, a native of Qinghe Town, is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, one of the many mat vendors in Qinghe Town, and two years later, he will start a final price war with Dou Zhishan.

He could have won, but because he was unwilling to give the people a white strip, he was finally driven out of the mat market in Qinghe Town by Dou Zhishan and started a running boat business.

"Affectionate, righteous, down-to-earth and hard-working, that's him. ”

Early the next morning, Wu Yingcheng got up, called Tang Ershan, and the two rode bicycles to Xin'an Township.

"Brother Wu, why are you here?"

Although Wu Yingcheng is one year younger than Chen Jianwei, in order to show respect, Chen Jianwei still keeps calling him that, and he has failed to correct it several times, but he can only accept it happily.

"Is Brother Chen Chong here?" asked Wu Yingcheng.

"Yes. ”

Chen Jianwei spit out a few mouthfuls of tooth water, and then took Wu Yingcheng to the yard, since Wu Yingcheng bought Sun Daman's courtyard, he made a transformation of it.

First, the original pig and cattle pens were converted into men's and women's toilets, and a kitchen and warehouse were built with thick bamboo chips on the opposite side, and finally all the remaining houses were converted into dormitories.

After entering the yard, Chen Chong was steaming steamed buns, steaming, and the fragrance could be smelled from a distance, and his eldest son Chen Jiaquan was helping, and when he saw him coming, he ran over with a smile.

This kid is sixteen years old this year, and he can't read, so he likes to fiddle with tractors and other machinery, and there is no one to teach him, so he holds a meeting with the walk-behind tractor in the village.

Wu Yingcheng predicted that in the future, after the policy was good, after private individuals could buy trucks, this kind of talent was indispensable, so he would have the opportunity to learn to drive a big tractor with Lao Cai.

But at this time, the transportation company has regulations, and without the permission of the above, the drivers in the company are not allowed to teach others.

This kid didn't care, asked Chen Chong for money, bought cigarettes and alcohol, and if he ran away once, he would come twice, and if he couldn't do it twice, he would come three times, plus Wu Yingcheng said on the side, Lao Cai agreed.

But this matter must avoid suspicion, and others can't be caught by the handle, Lao Cai occasionally finds excuses to run the line of Qinghe Town in order to teach him.

After pulling the mat, the kid sat in the car and listened to him, and then when he got to a place where no one was, he let him drive for a while, and when he arrived in Dahu Town, he walked back by himself, and said that he would be a hitchhiker.

Wu Yingcheng saw this, and casually asked him about his learning to drive, and the smile on his face became brighter when he heard it, "Brother Wu, thanks to you, I have almost learned."

But the master said, now people like me can't get a driver's license, can you do a favor and tell my sister-in-law that she can help me get out of the whole quota in the county. ”

Wu Yingcheng looked helpless, needless to say that this sister-in-law was Zhang Cuilan, and before he could reply, Chen Chong knocked on his head violently, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

"You kid thinks things too well, the driver's quota is so easy to get, you have no culture, no background, who can get it for you?"

When Chen Jiaquan heard this, his face immediately became worried, Wu Yingcheng said: "What your father said is good, this quota is very limited, but don't be discouraged, this thing will be released later, you just need to learn by heart." ”

Chen Jiaquan was happy again when he heard it, "Brother Wu, what you said is true?"

Wu Yingcheng nodded, "Of course it's true." ”

When this guy heard this, he was happy again, and hurriedly pulled Wu Yingcheng to sit, pouring tea and hammering back, and he was very attentive.

After a while, other people also got up, and greeted Wu Yingcheng one by one, Chen Chong served steaming steamed buns, thinking that Wu Yingcheng was coming, and copied a pot of cabbage vermicelli and fried meat.

Don't underestimate these things, in this era, many places are still very poor, not to mention breakfast, even if it is lunch, many people eat porridge and kimchi that can count the grains of rice.

After eating, Wu Yingcheng asked Chen Jianwei and a few people to take care of the business, and he took Chen Chong, Tang Ershan, and Chen Liangping to Qinghe Town.

The Daqing River is very wide, and the street is only built on the west side, because there are people running boats, the whole street is built along the river, and almost every house is a long stone pillar and cement pillar at the door.

At the entrance and end of the town, there is a wharf, but now that the flood season has passed, there are not many big boats on the river, only some small boats that pick up people to cross the river.

Wu Yingcheng heard people say in his previous life that before 2000, these boats were the main tools for crossing the river, and it was the case for five cents a person, regardless of adults or children.

Therefore, people on both sides of Qinghe Town usually don't come and go much, and they really need to cross the river when they need to go to the opposite side.

Wu Yingcheng had inquired before, and the Cao Yingsong he was looking for today was in the town of Hexi, and the four of them gave two cents to get on the boat, Wu Yingcheng shook it gently, and the boat shook it lightly.

The uncle who supported the boat pushed the bamboo pole in his hand to the river, stabilized the boat, and said angrily: "Young man, what are you shaking, if the boat is overturned, we will all have to fall into the river to feed Wang Ba." ”

Wu Yingcheng smiled and said, "Uncle, don't mind, I just want to try how many mats your boat can hold." ”

Only then did the uncle discourage and said, "Young man, I think it's the first time for you to be an old man and a boat like me, right?"

Wu Yingcheng relived his life, naturally it was not the first time he took a boat, but he had not been to the town before 2000 in his last life, and it was indeed the first time to make this kind of boat, "Yes, uncle." ”

Uncle smiled: "No wonder, my boat is a little wider than the average fishing boat, very unstable, can't take the board, loading and unloading is very dangerous, it's good to pull a person, who would dare to pull into a mat such a heavy cargo." ”

Because of the freight issue, Wu Yingcheng asked more, "Uncle, what kind of ship usually pulls heavy cargo?"

The uncle looked at the river, pointed to a motor boat with a canopy in the distance, and said, "See, only that kind of boat will pull goods, but it is usually pulled to the city." ”

"What about the mats of the supply and marketing cooperatives across the river, aren't they just the river?"

"Oh, they all make a hitchhiker boat to Tonghe Town near Linxian County first, and then use a car to pull it, so cheap, who will transport it across the river to do what. ”

"Then if someone carries a mat on the boat, will you let them sit?"

"It's okay to sit, but there's a limit, usually one or two mats, we won't say. But our ship is so big, if there are three or four, we will have to add one person's money. ”

"What if there were more?"

"Anyway, three or four will add one person's money, if there are more than twenty large mats, one person will carry it, there is a high chance of an accident, and we will not pull it. ”

"I see!"

Wu Yingcheng finally understood why he could eat so many mats in the east of Qinghe Town so easily, in addition to his Tong Suo, there was also this river, which increased their costs.
