Chapter 008: Heavy Rain
After a long time, Gu Huaqiang restarted the car and drove in from the door next to him, and the sign on the door read "Phoenix Stone Processing Factory".
Phoenix Stone Factory and Ah Cheng Stone Factory are only separated by a wall, and the two stone processing factories are old rivals in the industry. Since Gu Huaqiang got involved in the stone industry, in order to grab the resources next door, there has been a price war over the years.
The purpose of the price war is to occupy and seize the market, but it is a damage to profits. Gu Huaqiang is not only fighting a price war in buying stones, but also fighting a price war in selling stones, so that he bears double pressure.
Gu Huaqiang may be a shrewd person, but he is probably not a shrewd businessman. The problem of Phoenix Stone Processing Factory is not only because the boss is addicted to gambling, but also because of the operation, the implementation of the wrong "price war", which has long been difficult to return.
He is now in arrears to the stone suppliers, and the stone sellers are dragging his money and falling into a vortex of triangular debts. Coupled with his recent lack of luck in the casino, his debt hole is getting bigger and bigger, and his funds are already stretched.
Now Ye Zheng gave up on him, and instead chose the old man Sun next door, which made him feel a deep resentment. It's like a fisherman catching fish into the net, watching the cute fish swim obediently into the net, but one of them sneaks away smartly.
For that clever fish, Gu Huaqiang naturally didn't praise it, and just wanted to kill it directly.
……
After a few days of sunny days, summer began to show his violent side. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds swept in from the south, and the whole world seemed to turn into night.
Boom la la la......
Soybean-sized raindrops drip from the sky and converge in a line, which is a summer storm.
The mountains and forests are gray and foggy, the trees are swaying in the torrential rain, and a bare "scarred" hill is being washed by the rain, and soon it becomes a yellow stream, which gathers together and rolls down the mountain, flowing to the low-lying areas, grasslands, and farmland......
"Brother Zhengzhì, go home!"
On a small hillside, a little girl holding a cow beckoned vigorously.
Ay......
Ye Zheng looked at the pit in front of him, sighed, stretched out his hand to wipe the rain on his face, and turned around and walked towards the small hill opposite. The rain was really heavy, so that he was already soaking wet, and even his underwear felt cold.
Now he is not only unwell, but also very uncomfortable!
He was quite satisfied with the contract he signed with Sun Zhicheng, and this contract basically solved all his worries except that the price was not very ideal. In particular, Sun Zhicheng promised to settle the accounts once a week, so that he had sufficient liquidity, so that he could make his career bigger.
I just didn't think that I had worked hard to pave the way, but I had a business trip on the most critical issue - you can sell stones if you want, but first you have to have them in your hands.
I thought it was a very simple thing, but Ye Zheng found that it was not simple at all!
Three full days passed, and the money in his hand burned to the ground, but the earth-shattering stone mine that should have appeared still did not appear. Today's sudden rainstorm brought the quarry to a halt, forcing him to calm down.
"Shit!"
Ye Zheng was thinking about his stomach full of thoughts, stepping on a tuft of weeds and preparing to step on the grass dam, but his feet slipped suddenly, and his whole person immediately slipped and fell to the ground. Luckily, the dirt was soft and it just stained my clothes.
"Brother Zhengzhì, are you okay?" Tiger Girl, wearing a small pink raincoat, was standing on the slope and looked at him with concern.
"It's fine!" Ye Zheng got up and went around from the other side.
The rain was so fierce that it seemed to drown the whole world, and it was so loud that people couldn't open their eyes. The mountain road brings together one trickle after another, creating a puddle in the low-lying area.
Ye Zheng took the little hand of the tiger girl and slowly walked forward in the rain.
"Brother Zhengzhì, if there is no stone, what should we do?" The tiger girl stepped on the water trail, her eyes looking ahead.
"Keep digging!" Ye Zhengzhì's eyes were firm.
"I asked Grandpa Seven yesterday and he said it was because we dug up the bones on the first day of work, which was unlucky! So ask someone to do a ritual, otherwise you won't be able to dig up the stone! Tiger Girl turned her head sideways and said seriously.
"I don't believe this!" Ye Zheng shook his head and squinted at the sky.
"I don't believe it either!" Hu Niu shook her head, always unconditionally agreeing with him, but she then added, "But the bones were dug up that day, and we may really have to ask someone to do a ritual!" ”
Ye Zheng sighed deeply, he had forgotten what happened to the "Tiger Head" these days, and he didn't go over there again. It's just that he didn't think about it, the questions went around and around, and in the end, he couldn't escape the experience, and the finger bones that emitted blue light under the ground seemed to be calling him again.
It's just that he doesn't want to go back there, he just wants to be a normal beautiful man quietly.
"Brother Zhengzhì, I also heard people say that there are actually no stones on this mountain, it is a dirt bag!" The tiger girl splashed on the water, and said with a sigh.
"Who said that?" Ye Zheng tilted his head, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
At this moment, he plans to retweet this 500 times, accuse him of spreading rumors, and put him in prison to pick up soap. He dared to vouch for his handsome face, there must be a stone mine in Crouching Tiger Mountain, but it has not been excavated for the time being.
"Seventh uncle, third aunt, fourth aunt......" Hu Niu began to snap her fingers and pointed them out one by one.
"Damn!"
After Ye Zheng heard the fourth aunt, his mouth twitched, and he immediately understood that he was afraid that the entire ancient village would know about it.
In fact, it is no wonder that after so many days of not being able to dig up stones, the probability of the soil bag has increased greatly, and it will naturally become a hot topic in the village. Obviously, such a rainy day is a good day for those long-tongued women to talk about the world, and it is estimated that they have already talked about it in the house, so I am afraid that he will be accused of being a loser.
"Hey! Life is really lonely like snow! ”
Ye Zheng sighed deeply, and looked up at the sky helplessly, his eyes flashing with a touch of pathos. He has the determination to be a well digger, but he has to not only overcome his own suspicions, but also endure the gossip of others.
The rain continued incessantly until the evening. In the middle of the night, the rain began to fall, and the world in people's dreams was full of rain.
The next day, the sky in the ancient village was gray, the bamboo forest at the edge of the village was still dripping with water, and the roofs of the houses looked slippery. A certain yard seemed peaceful, the flowers and plants were destroyed by the heavy rain, and a few majestic roosters were hiding in the corners.
"What? Strike? ”
Ye Zheng was about to go to the stone field after eating, but just about to go out, he received very bad news. For some reason, the excavator who was invited suddenly said that he would not do it, and he asked himself for the cost of those excavators.
"Didn't you say okay, buy for a week first, and then settle the bill once a week?" Ye Zheng asked angrily and loudly.
"They say it's a quarry, but we don't have a quarry here, so we'll have to do it separately!" Black Bull honestly relayed.
"Lao Tzu has no stone mines, it's his business!" Ye Zheng scolded, and then said in a cold voice, "Where are they now, see if there is room for negotiation?" ”
"They're driving the excavator away, as if they've taken a big order from Nine!" Black Bull said honestly.
Hearing this, Ye Zheng almost wanted to smash his phone. These are all scumbags, and the good things I said earlier can be regarded as farts. As soon as you see that something is wrong, you can immediately turn your face and deny the person, and unilaterally tear up the original verbal agreement.
Is there really no stone mine? Ye Zheng zhì does not believe it!
"It's okay to go! Lao Tzu dug up the stone mine, and they regretted it! Ye Zheng gritted his teeth and said.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zheng turned around and went back to the house, intending to find an excavator.
In fact, when he first started to cover Crouching Tiger Ridge, many people looked for him, but he finally chose the fat ball that seemed to be honest. It's just that I didn't expect that my vision was really bad and I cooperated with such a treacherous person.
Doodle......
A Santana drove into the ancient village and drove out again not long after.
Zhao Dazhui was very angry, knowing that Ye Zheng was in a bad mood, he immediately ran to Guzhai to pick him up. It was a difficult trip, and yesterday's rainstorm made the road muddy, and his car was almost stuck in the road.
"Did you find the excavator?" Zhao Dazhui held the steering wheel and glanced sideways at him.
"Wait for news!" Ye Zheng lit a cigarette, and just now he called several people, but none of them agreed to him on the spot.
Originally, when the stone yard opened, these people came to beg Ye Zhengzhì and wanted to take over his small project. But with the emergence of large-scale mining in Lion Ridge, excavators instantly became sought-after goods, and now excavators have become the emperor's daughter.
I don't know who is spreading rumors, not only saying that Wohu Mountain is a dirt bag, but also pointing out that Ye Zheng has no ability to pay for the project
"What are your plans?" Zhao Dazhui hesitated for a moment, and asked with concern again.
"Project Fart! You and they are stupid hats, Lao Tzu has only been digging for three days, how can you conclude that I can't dig up stones? Ye Zheng rolled his eyes, looking very dissatisfied.
"It's been five days!" Zhao Dazhui turned his head slightly unexpectedly, he clearly remembered the opening ceremony he had attended five days earlier.
"Three and a half days!" Ye Zheng said the real number, took a puff of cigarette before began to explain, "On the first afternoon, we dug up the bones, so we changed places, and yesterday it rained and stopped digging nothing, so the real digging was only three and a half days!" ”
"And what do you mean?" Zhao Dazhui asked.
"Keep digging, of course!" Ye Zheng gritted his teeth, he really didn't believe that his luck would be so bad.
In such an area rich in stone mines, the probability that you will dig a soil ridge is too low. And Crouching Tiger Mountain is so big, there is no reason to give up all at once, and you have to work hard for a few more days at the beginning.
He doesn't want everyone to only see him handsome, but not his talent and business talent.
Zhao Dazhui glanced at him sideways, knowing that this person was in a bad mood now, so he didn't talk much about the stone field, and silently drove him to the town to have fun.
When the car passed the Zhennan Bridge, the river below was surging, with the momentum of the Yellow River.
Soon we arrived at Aoba Town, and since it was not a market day, and it was raining lightly, it was very quiet on both sides of the street. Zhao Dazhui originally wanted to take him to Huatian for a drink, but after he arrived, he found that he hadn't opened the door at all.
I couldn't help but turn the steering wheel, and after turning around, I came to a familiar restaurant.
With the opening of Zhennan Bridge and the development of the stone mine in Shiziling, more and more people from other places are coming to look for business opportunities. Naturally, the catering industry here has been driven.
When the two of them walked in together, it was already full of people, and Fan Xiaoling was also busy with them, helping to collect the debts.
"It's looking for your money, thank you for patronizing!" Fan Xiaoling handed the change back to the guest and gave it to each other with a smile.
Suddenly, when I saw the two people walking in at the door, my eyes lit up immediately, and I walked out of the counter like a colorful butterfly.
Today she is wearing a fuchsia tracksuit and white sneakers, and the whole person looks very energetic. The black hair is naturally scattered on her shoulders, with her beautiful melon seed face, like a phoenix, especially the majesty on her chest, holding up her clothes and deeply attracting everyone's attention.
