Chapter 21: A Busy New Year
It's strange on this day, I can still wear a single coat to go out yesterday, but I need to wear a padded jacket the next day, Zhou Cheng came in summer, so most of the clothes he brought were summer clothes, and the only long-sleeved one was a single coat, fortunately, there were autumn pants, but he couldn't resist anything, he shivered as soon as he went out, he shivered and lit a cigarette and went to Jiang Xiaolin's house.

Jiang Xiaolin's father, Jiang Gouyu, is building a honeycomb coal stove in the house, this old man's wife died early, pulling Jiang Xiaolin alone, and now his days are the most prosperous in the whole village, he knows who to be grateful to, this is not as soon as he saw Zhou Cheng coming, just like seeing his son-in-law, he immediately pounced on Zhou Cheng and pulled Zhou Cheng into the hall, and closed the door to the wind.
"Oh, how can you wear single clothes on such a cold day, bake the fire quickly, what can you do if you freeze your body."
"Hehe, it's okay, I'm so angry, Xiao Lin is not at home, I'll ask her something."
Jiang Gou was still making tea and taking fruits, and brought the honeycomb coal stove that had just been built to Zhou Cheng, took out a pack of good cigarettes from his pocket and threw it to Zhou Cheng, and hurriedly shouted to the side room.
"Xiao Lin, the village chief is here."
After shouting, he squatted next to him and asked Zhou Cheng.
"Village chief, I heard that our village is going to build the Qili Bridge?"
"Hehe, there is a plan for this, but the specific situation is still uncertain."
While the two were talking, Jiang Xiaolin came out with a bunch of information, and asked in surprise when she saw Zhou Cheng frozen like a chicken thief.
"Village chief, why don't you wear cotton clothes?"
"Oh, it's okay, by the way, how's the bridge connection?"
Jiang Xiaolin didn't speak, she glanced at the father next to her, and Jiang Gouyu hurriedly got up and walked outside.
"Village chief, I checked on the Internet, and also contacted a few by phone, but these quotations are similar, because the ravines under our Qili Bridge are relatively deep, so the construction cost is also higher, the cheapest one is 60 million, the most expensive 63 million, they all have more than 10 years of experience in building bridges, and the qualifications are quite complete, I have asked 60 million to come to see the situation on the spot, and also put up the pressure on our funds, and the other party said that it can be paid in installments."
"Pay in installments?"
"Well, the details haven't been discussed yet, but the other party said that he would send someone to meet and discuss in detail the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"Good! That's great! If we delay the payment for half a year, no, it will be enough for three months, and we will not have to borrow from the bank! ”
Zhou Cheng and Jiang Xiaolin were chatting about the details, but there was a situation on Wang Gang's side, he thought that the president of the bank who begged him would kneel down and give a large loan, who knew that he wanted to flip the table after just talking for half an hour.
"Governor Wang! You begged me for a loan, but now you ...... you?"
"Hehe, don't get excited, aren't we talking? Besides, it's not the same now, it's you begging me ......."
Wang Gang really wanted to smoke this fat-headed and big-eared guy, he originally thought that he could borrow tens of millions casually, but who knew that the other party only promised to borrow 10 million after half an hour, and the high interest rate caught up with the loan sharks, and there were many restrictions, what repayment date, mortgage, and guarantee, Wang Gang really had a big head.
After parting with President Wang, Wang Gang squatted on the road and smoked a cigarette, he strongly pressed the idea that he wanted to shoot this guy's black bricks, sighed and called Zhou Cheng, and reported the situation truthfully.
In the glass window on the second floor of the teahouse, President Wang was sneering at Wang Gang who was squatting on the road and smoking, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes behind him frowned and asked.
"Governor, this kid doesn't seem to be very sociable, you are holding him like this, in case you ......"
"What are you afraid of, this year's year-end bonus is pointing at him, the loan must be released, but we must also let him know how difficult it is to take out a loan, otherwise how can he remember our kindness, the more I pull him, the more grateful he will be to me when he gets the loan."
The young man still frowned and did not speak, sighing in his heart......
Zhenhua Construction Engineering Company is the company that quoted 60 million, after receiving the call, the company's leaders attach great importance to it, there are many companies with the same qualifications in China, and now the project is relatively small, their company does not have much advantage in comparison, they themselves know that they can win this project, it is completely because of the low price, but there is money to make on the line, so they hung up the phone and immediately sent someone to fly to Xianyang City.
It only took two days, a young man named Gao Gui came to Qili Village on behalf of Zhenhua Company, he hired a taxi at a high price, and asked the master to stop in the middle of the mountain road for a while, from the car window, he took a closer look at the old Qili Bridge opposite.
Zhou Cheng, Wu Laojiu and others got together again, and they accompanied Gao Gui down to the bottom of the ravine to investigate on the spot, and they did not return to the village until it was dark.
This night, Zhou Cheng, Wu Laojiu, Jiang Xiaolin and others surrounded Gao Gui until more than three o'clock in the middle of the night, and finally signed a contract to repair the bridge.
The construction period is half a year, and the project payment is made every two months, 20 million at a time. The money is not small, but Gao Gui promised to help the village build the main road into a cement road for free, which can be regarded as a gift.
The money in the village is only 19 million, and there is still a difference of 1 million, but Wang Gang has already wanted to get angry, and went to Heishi County early the next morning, and transferred all the bank deposits on the spot, and eliminated the account, and the anxious President Wang knelt down, but Wang Gang was determined to be angry, and snorted and went to the opposite bank to open an account, and this unlucky President Wang received a notice of dismissal from the head office in the afternoon.
According to Zhou Cheng's instructions, Wang Gang sold some seedlings to the neighboring Hexi Province, which was enough for 20 million yuan, which was the first project payment to Zhenhua Construction Engineering Company.
And Gao Gui's speed is not slow, less than a week, all kinds of construction equipment and construction personnel have entered the site, the bridge has not been repaired, and the cement road in the village has been paved first.
The snowflakes fell on the brand-new cement road, Zhou Cheng sniffed, wrapped himself in a thin coat, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
This is his first New Year in Qili Village, the New Year in the countryside is very lively, from the lunar month to the first month, there are tricks every day, there is no ban on fireworks and firecrackers here, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard almost every day.
And his kennel has also completely changed its old appearance in a sudden day, the roof has been renovated, the kang is covered with a large hand-sewn quilt, there are two brand new down jackets at the head of the bed, there is a large ashtray with transparent glass on the kang head, the broken wooden cabinet in the room has also been repaired, and there is a seven-inch photo frame on it, which contains a photo of him and Wu Lao Jiujiang Xiaolin Wang Gang.
This was secretly taken by Jiang Gou when the four of them were having a meeting at Jiang Xiaolin's house, and I don't know when it was washed out, and now it is placed on the cabinet like this.
Zhou Cheng suddenly wanted to cry, his eyes were a little red, when he came to this village, he was moved for the first time, when he used to make money, he also thought about taking the improved things back to Shangjing to find his girlfriend Zhao Qian, the two of them took these things that can create huge wealth for a lifetime, but he never did, he didn't know when it started, and he was a little reluctant to let these people go, reluctant to this village......
Uncle Duan stood outside the door and looked inside, smiled kindly, and went to see the bridge being repaired outside with a dry tobacco stick......
