Chapter 268: Outrageously Low Salary (Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
"Boss, is this true? What kind of jade is this?" It wasn't until Yu Qingyang left that he came back to his senses when he took Chen Xiang's hand and asked.
"Really, if you don't say that good people have good rewards!
Look at your unproductive look!
Don't say it's my subordinate in the future, I can't afford to lose this person!" Seeing Xiao's smirk, Chen Xiang stretched out his hand and slapped him, scolding with a smile.
"Boss, I don't feel a little incredible!
Such a big piece of pie just smashed on our heads!"
"Alright, don't be beautiful!
This piece of woody jade is worth more than 10,000 yuan at most!
One point between the two of us is equivalent to ten days' wages for you!"
"Is it worth that much?" said the hour, a little disappointed.
"Yo, it's now? It's worth so much money?
I'm talking about selling rough stones, but if it's carved, it's not necessarily!
It depends on the degree of jadeization!
The higher the degree of jade, the more valuable it is!" Chen Xiang popularized the knowledge of wood-shaped jade to his childhood.
Some people say that people who grew up in Sijiu City are born with a sense of superiority.
However, speaking of which, the people in Sijiu City are indeed quite awesome.
If you chat with them often, you will realize that the people in Sijiu City are really awesome.
I know astronomy and geography, and I know trivialities.
Externally aware of international events, internally aware of national policies.
Anyway, you just need to bring up a topic, and there is nothing they can't pick up.
And on any topic, the head that can be said is the Tao.
Not to mention intellectuals like Chen Xiang, even the taxi drivers in Sijiu City are the same.
Even the aunt who went to the market to buy vegetables knows everything about domestic and foreign affairs and can tell you about it.
"Boss, how about you say that we specialize in acquiring Muhua Jade?" Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes and suggested in a low voice.
"Nonsense, it was an accident to receive this piece, and it can be regarded as a good reward for our kindness!
You go to collect it, don't say if you can receive it, don't forget your job!
Do you think the company allows you to do your own work blatantly?
Or do you want to leave the company and go it alone?" Chen Xiang glared at him.
"No, boss, listen to me, I don't mean that we will collect it, but the company!
Anyway, it's a good thing, but what if you can get a lot?
One or two pieces, the company can't look down on it, if it's a hundred, a thousand, the company should be able to see it, right?"
"What you said is true! This thing was originally a volcanic explosion, or an earthquake, which buried a big tree deep underground, and after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, it became a wood-turned jade.
Then with the change of history, the terrain changed, and it appeared on the ground again.
So if this thing doesn't appear, there will be a lot of it!
However, we can't make our own decisions! You wait, I'll go and ask Mr. Yu for instructions!" Chen Xiang said with a smile.
After speaking, he turned around and left, chasing after Yu Qingyang's back.
Yu Qingyang didn't know what the two subordinates thought.
After the inspection, Yu Qingyang returned to the camp.
At this time, the whole camp is filled with the aroma of barbecue.
The chefs are roasting whole lamb.
In the open space of the camp, five campfires were set up, with makeshift barbecue grills on them.
The five sheep sent by the Berber chieftain yesterday have been skinned and washed, and their four legs have been stretched and tied to the barbecue grill and set up on the bonfire.
Elder Wang, the chef, took it all hands on his hands, holding a large brush, and brushed oil on the sheep from time to time.
There are also five lay-offs next to him, and according to Lao Wang's request, slowly turn the rack to let the mutton be evenly heated.
Seeing Yu Qingyang, Lao Wang handed the brush to his apprentice and greeted him.
"Mr. Yu, are you here, do you want to taste my craft first?"
"Hehe, can you eat it now?"
"The skin is ripe, and it's almost hot inside!"
"That's a good feeling, hurry up and get me a piece, I'll try your old Wang's craftsmanship!"
I'll tell you, if it's not delicious, I'll get your head chef off and transfer you to brush the pot!" Yu Qingyang joked with Lao Wang.
"Please!
My old Wang's craftsmanship is not blowing, I didn't even go when the five-star hotel invited me to be the chef!"
After the old king finished boasting, he didn't forget his business, ran back, took a knife, and quickly screwed down more than a dozen thin slices of meat on the roasted whole sheep.
Each slice is very thin, and the brown lamb slices are shiny.
Although this old king has some problems with bragging, his knife skills are really good.
Lao Wang held it on a tray and came to Yu Qingyang, "Mr. Yu, you can taste it!"
Yu Qingyang was not polite, took the knife, pricked a piece of mutton, and put it in his mouth.
"Well, yes, charred on the outside and tender on the inside! When you bite into it, your mouth is full of oil, and the umami of the mutton is full!
You all have a taste!" Yu Qingyang praised a few words, and then handed the knife to Sun Jian.
Yu Qingyang can't be greedy, if he doesn't eat, he will eat first, but it's not good to refuse Lao Wang's kindness.
Eat a slice and it's over.
"Thank you, Mr. Yu!" Sun Jian was also polite, took the tray, and shared the mutton in the tray with his four subordinates.
"Lao Wang, your craftsmanship is really good!" said as he ate.
Lao Wang grinned beside him, this is the most essential part of a sheep.
I wanted to please the boss, but I didn't want to be eaten by five soldiers.
"Mr. Yu!" At this time, Chen Xiang chased after him.
"Lao Chen, is there something wrong with me?"
"It's about the matter of Muhua Jade, and I made a suggestion when I was young, should we also include Muhua Jade in the list of transactions!
I think this is a good suggestion, so I'm here to ask you for advice!" Chen Xiang didn't take any chances, and told the truth about it.
"It's okay to be on the list! You can set the price!" Yu Qingyang nodded with a smile.
Chen Xiang's suggestion was very much in line with Yu Qingyang's thoughts.
Originally, Yu Qingyang also planned to go to the edge of the desert tomorrow to take a trip to see the scenery of the desert, and by the way, to check whether it was like the legend, the desert was transformed into jade piece by piece.
Since they want to collect it, they can just collect it.
If you can really receive a lot, you can take it out as an industry on its own.
Muhua jade is not worth much in Ajigeria, but it is in China.
Of course, now in the country, it is not very valuable.
However, China has a population of 1.3 billion, and with the economic exhibition, the domestic antique collection market is booming.
If there is really too much woody jade, it can be hyped up and detonate the market in advance.
Of course, the premise is to be able to obtain enough wood jade in Ajigeria.
Otherwise, there is no need for hype, and without hype, you can only make a wedding dress for others.
It's better to hold it in your hands and wait to lie down and win.
"The wood jade harvest can be done by the way, but it is still mainly stone and wood!"
"Got it, Mr. Yu!
No one has traded sand since yesterday until today......"
"It's okay, don't worry about this, I'll go to the desert to take a look tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!
We are only a little more than 100 kilometers away from the desert, and we are worried that there is no sand available?" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
"But ......"
"Nothing, you think the sand that the Berbers carry can be used directly?
Let's go back and see how it goes!
Since we are going to build a stone carving machine, we are not short of a sand washing factory!" Yu Qingyang knew what Chen Xiang wanted to say, intercepted his words, and said with a smile.
When it comes to sand, there is a misconception in most people.
Sand and sand have the same sound but disagree.
The building material we use is sand, which has a very low clay content and larger particles than sand.
The sand in the desert contains a lot of clay and fine particles, which need to be washed through sieving and water before it can be used.
Yu Qingyang really said so, and Chen Xiang didn't say anything.
It's so close to the desert that digging up the sand and washing it yourself is cheaper than buying it from a coastal city.
Chen Xiang, as the director of the procurement department, learned about the building materials market in Aji and Lia through friends before he came.
The day before yesterday, after arriving in the capital of Ajigi and Geria, I went out to inspect the building materials market.
The biggest problem in Ajigeria is the supply of building materials.
In Ajigeria in 2ooo years, even if it is a geographical glass, there are few companies that produce building materials.
The vast majority of building materials rely on imports.
Now it is planned to build a stone carving machine factory and a sand washing plant.
I wonder if I will build a cement plant in the future?
That's not as simple as a stone carving machine factory and a sand washing factory.
It is not something that can be completed and put into production in a short period of time.
What Chen Xiang didn't know was that Yu Qingyang really planned to invest in building a medium-sized cement plant in Ajigeria.
With the political stability of Ajigeria, as the United States lifts economic sanctions against Ajigeria next year.
Ajigeria's economy is set to take off.
Selling oil, selling minerals, the money comes easily, then the next thing is naturally to build a large number of buildings.
Engage in urban construction.
Think of the bustling Gold Coast of Africa in later generations, which is no less prosperous than the cosmopolitan city.
But now, it is not as good as the third-tier cities in China.
What is it?
That's the business opportunity!
Investing in a medium-sized cement plant is a profitable decision.
As for the fact that in 1o years, Aggie and Lia will fall into turmoil again, and Yu Qingyang can sell the cement plant before then.
Before the Aji-Chilean civil war in 2o11, Aji-Chilean politics was still very stable during this time.
......
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qiang came to the camp again.
He was joined by two black nurses.
The contrast between the white nurse's uniform and the coffee-colored skin is striking.
Very eye-catching.
What attracts more attention is the figure of the two nurses.
It's really hot.
The nurse's uniform was worn on her body, and she jumped very tightly.
It's really big, it's warped.
It's just that the place where it should be fine is not fine.
The top and bottom are almost generally thick.
That arm, Yu Qingyang felt thicker than his own, and it was about to catch up with his calf.
After some politeness, Yu Qingyang handed over the two nurses to Xia Xue.
The two nurses can speak English, and Xia Xue's English level is not bad, and she has passed the eighth level.
There is no problem with communication.
took Zhang Qiang to his office.
"Mr. Yu, I'm really sorry, you also know that in an Arab country like Ajigeria, it is really difficult to find female nurses!
These two, I still managed to dig them from a foreign-funded hospital!" Zhang Qiang hurriedly explained as soon as he entered the door.
"It's okay, as long as the technique is good! I'm looking for a nurse and it's not a beauty pageant!" Yu Qingyang nodded with a smile to show understanding.
"Mr. Yu, the stone carving machine and mixing plant and other equipment you want have been loaded into the ship, and it is estimated that it will arrive at the port of Ajigeria in a week. ”
"Well, you can get back in touch, I still need a set of sand washing equipment!
When will the cement arrive?"
"Cement is ready-made, and it can be delivered at any time!"
"How much does it cost to send the stones and yellow sand?"
"The price of materials is not high, mainly because the freight is expensive, and if it is delivered, one party will cost eight dinars, which is fifty yuan!"
"Hmm!" Yu Qingyang nodded and did not speak.
The price is too high!
It seems that it is still necessary to be self-reliant.
This is not Zhang Qiang's pit himself, after all, Yuanmu Company does not produce these building materials by itself, they are engaged in trade, and they will make a difference.
Yellow sand and gravel are building materials, it is estimated that people will not even make the difference, it is purely a help.
"You urge, hurry up and send the sand washing equipment over!"
"Okay, what else do you need?"
"Tomorrow send a hundred hammers, half a hammer and half a sledgehammer, and twenty more sieves!
"Okay, I'll arrange it when I go back!" Zhang Qiang nodded and wrote down what Yu Qingyang wanted.
Zhang Qiang did not leave in the evening, but stayed in the camp for one night and left the next morning.
It takes six or seven hours to travel back to Geoglas, and there is a large area of no man's land along the way, and it is too dangerous to travel at night.
Zhang Qiang's failure to go back does not affect the delivery of supplies here.
Call directly and ask the people in Butitan to purchase the things that Yu Qingyang needs and send them over with water.
The company has clerks stationed in major coastal cities in Ajigeria.
Zhang Qiang left early the next morning.
At noon, the waterwheel carried the materials that Yu Qingyang needed.
Fresh vegetables, rice, flour, hammers, and a sieve were delivered.
Yu Qingyang called Zhao Xinlei to his office.
"I asked yesterday about transporting sand and stones from Butitan, and one party asked for fifty dollars!"
"So expensive?"
"The shipping is expensive, the distance is too far!
So, I decided to make it ourselves!
However, the production equipment will not arrive in a week at the earliest!
I purchased a batch of hammers!
Go back and gather a bunch of Berbers and have them smash stones into stones with a hammer!"
"Smash stones into stones with a hammer?" Zhao Xinlei looked at Yu Qingyang in surprise, a little speechless at his whimsy.
"Huh! Feeling incredible?
Let me tell you, in the past, when there was no stone carving machine, people in the mountains used to use this method!
In the 60s, when the water conservancy was overhauled, it was not uncommon to smash stones into stones with a hand hammer!" Yu Qingyang said with a smile.
"Mr. Yu, I really haven't heard of this!" Zhao Xinlei said with a wry smile.
"I'll give you an account, it's no problem for a worker to smash a stone a day, right?
500 dirhams a day, do you think there are any Berbers willing to do it?"
"Someone must do it! I guess they will rush to do it," Zhao Xinlei said without thinking.
Now the family has a busy day, hundreds of kilometers round trip, and finally only gets the equivalent of 1,000 dirhams for food and water.
500 dirhams a day, even if you eat and live, as long as you are not stupid, you will do it.
"You see, if we collect a stone for one dinar, and then pay someone to smash it into a stone, the cost side will also be counted as one dinar!
Two dinars is equivalent to twelve yuan!" Yu Qingyang smiled and settled the account for Zhao Xinlei.
In China, there is an idea that it is better to save money by using machinery than by using labor.
However, this statement is not absolute, when labor is cheap to a certain extent, labor is much cheaper than machinery.
After Yu Qingyang finished settling the accounts, he had an impulse to stop the excavator excavating the side ditch and replace it with manual labor.
Counting food a day, finding a person is only one dinar, more than six yuan.
Much cheaper than using an excavator!
"Mr. Yu, I understand, I'll arrange it!" Zhao Xinlei also figured it out.
Manually smashing stones is very slow, but the labor cost is low!
Yu Qingyang called Zhao Xinlei over and asked him to arrange it.
In matters at work, Yu Qingyang tried not to give orders.
In order to ensure the authority of Zhao Xinlei.
Sending Zhao Xinlei away, Yu Qingyang called Sun Jian, brought some biscuits and mineral water, and prepared to go out to the desert to have a look.
"Yoko, why are you going?" Xia Xue asked when she heard the movement and came out of the infirmary.
"I'll go to the desert, Sister Xue, do you want to go together?" Yu Qingyang invited with a smile.
"Okay, you wait for me!" Xia Xue happily agreed, turned back to her colleagues in the infirmary, and ran into the RV to change clothes.
Last night, she heard that Yu Qingyang wanted to go to the desert to have a look, so she paid attention.
Although he was sitting in the infirmary, his eyes were constantly watching the movement outside.
Xia Xue ran into the RV, and after a while, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, jeans, a sunhat on her head, and a pair of sunglasses on her hat, she trotted to the front of the car.
In the past few days, Yu Qingyang's impression of Xia Xue has changed greatly.
originally thought that Xia Xue would be impatient, but she didn't expect that she would stay quietly in the infirmary these days.
Reading books or seeing a doctor for an employee.
Taking her to the desert today can be regarded as giving her a bit of relaxation.
