Wang Xiangzhong asked anxiously: "Son, you little brain is so good, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"Dad, you see that there is so much sand in the Nanhe, but it is all good building materials, and it can be sold for a lot of money when dug up!"

However, hearing his son's suggestion, Wang Xiangzhong shook his head again and again: "Dig sand and sell it for money? No, no, no, a side of river sand is 25 yuan, and our family needs at least 12,500 yuan now, which will be sold until the Year of the Monkey to sell for so much money? ”

Digging river sand and selling it for money, Taohualing Village is not without anyone doing this work, but to make a lot of money, this is like a fantasy for the people of Taohualing Village in 1991. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info a year, the sand of the Nanhe River in Taohualing Village can be sold for 30 square meters and 20 square meters, even if it is a satellite. There is a lot of sand in the river, and it is also a good building material, but for so many years, no one has expected the river sand in the river to make a lot of money.

Why? Because river sand is a building material after all, if no one is engaged in building development, then no matter how good the river sand is, it will not sell for much money.

In 1991, not to mention the countryside, there was not much construction development in the cities.

However, this situation will soon pass, and everyone will be greeted with earth-shaking changes, demolition and demolition everywhere, and construction and construction everywhere. As one of the important building materials, the price of sand has also risen again and again, from 25 yuan in 1991 to 150 yuan in 2016, and the price has increased 6 times in 25 years.

And how much does it cost to dig up river sand?

The cost of river dredging mainly consists of three parts: first, the management fee paid to the government; Second, the cost of excavation; 3. Transportation costs.

Although in 1990 the state issued the "River Sand Mining Fee Management Measures", but because the provincial implementation document did not come down until 1993, so the river sand mining license had to wait until 1993. Without a certificate, there is no qualification for this fee to be paid to the State, so in 1991 the cost was zero.

According to the market in 1991, the cost of renting an excavator for an hour is 30 yuan, and the excavator can dig more than 100 cubic meters of river sand in an hour, that is to say, the excavation cost of a cubic meter of river sand is less than three cents. However, in 1991, it may be difficult to rent an excavator, and the cost of directly hiring manual sand loading is a little higher, and it is estimated that it can reach about one cubic meter and one dollar.

Speaking of transportation costs, a full 12 tractor can load 1.5 square meters of river sand, and the transportation cost is 5 cents per kilometer, which is converted into the cost of river sand transportation is 3 cents per kilometer per cubic meter.

The three costs add up, which is very little, and for the sales price of 25 yuan, it is definitely a super profiteering industry.

If anyone can find a market for river sand, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money on river sand!

In front of him, Wang Zheng suddenly thought of a huge sales opportunity for river sand.

"Dad, I heard Yang Ming say that the east side of Dazhai Village is building a road, and his father took a construction team to repair the road, and many people supply building materials to the road construction site, Yang Ming said that there is the most scarce sand on the construction site now."

"You mean National Highway 205, there is a lack of sand on the construction site?"

Wang Zheng's mother, Wu Xiufen, furrowed her brows, picked up the yarn again, and continued to make the sweater.

"Boss, I think what our son said is also an idea, or you should rush everyone to sleep now, go and ask Yang Ming if his father has such a thing."

Wang Xiangzhong walked back and forth in the house several times, as if he had made a lot of determination, and finally took out a carton of apples from Wang Zheng's room and said, "Xiufen, you coax the child to sleep first, and I will go to Yang Ming's house to inquire." ”

Seeing his father walk out, Wang Zheng smiled secretly in his heart and said: Dad, you just wait to count the money.

However, Wang Zheng has another worry, his father will find a huge opportunity to get rich in the Nanhe River in the future, in case if he only thinks about digging sand to make money, on the one hand, he will destroy the ecological environment of the Nanhe River and pollute the water of the Nanhe River, and on the other hand, the 300 acres of apple orchards contracted by his family will definitely be abandoned. Therefore, how to recover the released kite is indeed a difficult problem.

Don't worry about it for now, Wang Zheng was sleepy, so he went to sleep, and children sleep more than adults.

When he woke up early the next morning, Wang Zheng didn't see his father, and heard his mother say that his father came back from Yang Ming's house yesterday with a happy face, saying that he was going to see the construction site of the road.

In those days, the roads leading to the village were still dirt roads, and asphalt roads could only be seen in the city. The roads leading to the village are very narrow, and a four-meter-wide one is considered a big road. Coming to the construction site of National Highway 205 and looking at such a wide highway, Wang Xiangzhong was an eye-opener.

"Why is this road so wide?"

Wang Xiangzhong was quite puzzled, he felt that it was a pity that the road was built so wide, and so much farmland was wasted.

"Xiang Zhong, here, come, come, follow me." It was Yang Ming's father Yang Shilong who greeted Wang Xiangzhong. Now, with the construction team of Taohualing Village, he has contracted the construction of a section of the road on National Highway 205. However, they are only responsible for the construction, and as for the procurement of construction materials, Yang Shilong's higher-level contractor is responsible for it. The building materials for road construction should be unified, otherwise it will not be possible to ensure that the road surface of each section is the same.

Yang Shilong beckoned Wang Xiangzhong to come to him, then took his arm and said, "Xiangzhong, you came just in time, it just so happens that Supervisor Liu of the family is over there, let's go over and talk about what you said last night." ”

Because he ate the apple sent by Wang Xiangzhong yesterday, Yang Shilong's attitude towards him was very friendly.

Now they are building the road in a barren mountain range, five miles away from the nearest village, but in less than twenty years, a residential complex will be built here.

The slogan "If you want to get rich, build the road first" is written on both sides of the dirt road in the village, and sometimes it makes sense to think about it.

"Supervisor Liu, this is Wang Xiangzhong from the same village as me, he wants to supply river sand to our construction site, how about you take a look?"

Wang Xiangzhong felt that the name of the little man in front of him, who was as black as carbon and was only 1.5 meters tall, was very strange, and it was a little awkward to call. Unbeknownst to him, supervising was nothing more than his job.

Supervisor Liu held the drawings in his hand, and his brows were a little tight.

"What is the quality of the sand?" Supervisor Liu's eyes did not leave the drawings in his hand.

When Wang Xiangzhong heard this, he hurriedly said: "The quality of the sand is good. ”

"Is it better than this or not?" Supervisor Liu raised his head and glanced at Wang Xiangzhong, then pointed to a small pile of sand not far away and said.

"It's much better than this."

Supervisor Liu finally put down the drawings in his hand, pointed at Wang Xiangzhong with the ballpoint pen in his hand and said: "Hurry up and send it to the construction site, a tractor is 40 yuan, and it will be settled every day." ”

When Wang Xiangzhong heard this, he was a little excited: "How many cars do you need?" ”

"Send as much as you can, I need one hundred and fifty cubic meters of sand a day here, how much can you send a day?"

Wang Xiangzhong hurriedly said: "Okay, I can send as much as I can, I'll try my best." ”

At the same time, he was already thinking about how to hire a tractor, how to hire a sand dredging worker, and how much money he could earn in a day.
