Chapter 113: The Ultimate Goal

Not long after Ren Jingtian left, Yan Liqiang arrived at Yu Lifei's shop. Although Liu Yonghui never contacted him again, he regarded the tooth carving fisherman's family music pen holder as a top priority. As a successful businessman, it's natural to prioritize things.

"Mr. Yan, I haven't been more than twenty-four hours since I got this tooth carving fisherman's music pen holder?" When Yu Lifei saw Yan Liqiang, he immediately knew what he meant. From yesterday I received the tooth carving fisherman's music pen holder, until now, it is indeed less than 24 hours. I had promised Yan Liqiang yesterday that after playing for a while, I would naturally transfer it to him, but I didn't expect that as soon as I got off work, Yan Liqiang chased after him.

"I'm here to talk to you about building a road." Yan Liqiang never mentioned the matter of the tooth carving fisherman's family music pen holder, the people he sent to Erfeng County have returned, and the local government naturally warmly welcomes someone to invest in road construction. You must know that his company is well-known in the whole province, and this time he took the initiative to invest in Erfeng County, and the main leaders of Erfeng County attached great importance to it.

"Inside, please." Although Yu Lifei felt that this matter was not worthy of Yan Liqiang's personal consultation. But since Yan Liqiang talked about building roads, he naturally couldn't slack off.

"The people I sent to Erfeng County have returned, and the local government is very appreciative of the investment in road construction. The opinion of the Erfeng County Government is for us to allocate the money directly to the county. They are responsible for the highway from your village to the township, and it is built in accordance with the national four-level highway standard. After the road is completed, I will be invited to hold a ceremony for the opening of the road. Yan Liqiang said that his company has done a good job of donating like this several times a year.

Like building roads, bridges, schools, and hospitals, Yan Liqiang has to donate millions every year. It not only gives back to the society, but also wins honor for the company, and also makes invisible advertising.

"What is the national fourth-class highway standard?" Yu Lifei asked, he had no concept of road construction at all. If it weren't for Yan Liqiang's help, he would have been completely blinded.

"The fourth-class highway is one of the highway grades in China, and the highway in China is divided into five grades: expressway, first-class highway, second-class highway, third-class highway and fourth-class highway. The fourth-class highway is generally able to adapt to various vehicles, which is converted into the annual average day and night traffic volume of trucks. Below 200 vehicles, the feeder roads that communicate counties, towns, villages, etc. Fourth-class highways generally have only one lane, and the wrong lane needs to be set within an appropriate distance. Yan Liqiang said that if he hadn't listened to the report before he came, he wouldn't have known much about the situation.

"Mr. Yan, you really don't understand much when you tell me this, just tell me how wide the road is and how thick the cement is." Yu Lifei said. Originally, Ma Yuelong told him that he would be very satisfied as long as he repaired a machine farming road, but he wanted to do it in one step, and if possible, try to build it as solidly as possible.

"There are two types of road widths, one is the carriageway and the other is the roadbed. The width of the carriageway of the fourth-class highway is 3.5 meters, and the width of the roadbed is 5.5 meters. As for the thickness of the cement, it should be between 15 and 20 centimeters. The service life is five to ten years. Yan Liqiang said, if he hadn't done some homework before coming, he really wouldn't have been able to deal with Yu Lifei.

"Five to ten years?" Yu Lifei said in surprise, according to his thoughts. After a road is repaired, it should be able to be used for decades. Is it possible to repair a road at your own expense, and then renovate it in a few years?

"It's a national standard, of course. There are definitely not many cars in your hometown, and they should be able to be used for a few more years. Yan Liqiang said. Yu Lifei's hometown belongs to a poor and remote place, not to mention motor vehicles. Now there are not even animal-powered carts.

"Mr. Yan, what if it's a third-level road?" Yu Lifei asked.

"Lifei, I calculated for you, if you build a third-class road, one million may not be enough. Because your side is mountainous and hilly, the cost will increase by more than 30 percent for every meter widened by the roadbed. Yan Liqiang said.

"In other words, a million is only enough to build a fourth-class road?" Yu Lifei asked.

"It depends on the situation, if we ask for the design and construction ourselves, a million is more than enough. But if you let the local government fix it, you may have to add some money. Yan Liqiang said.

"For what?" Yu Lifei didn't know anything about the mystery.

"There is a saying in the construction industry, called Jinqiao Yinlu. This project is placed in Erfeng County, and every time it passes through the hands of a department, the money will be plucked by geese. In the end, it can fall on the real project, and it is very good to have six achievements. Moreover, the construction unit still has to earn this money, and it has to be guaranteed to be a fourth-class highway, so it can only find a way to cut corners from the quality of the highway. Yan Liqiang said.

"What if we design and construct it ourselves?" Yu Lifei asked, in this case, why should government agencies be involved?

"We designed and built it ourselves, which really saved money. However, it will offend the local government, and at the same time, it will also bring obstacles to road construction. Yan Liqiang said that when dealing with government departments, if you don't know this well, you can easily be swallowed to the point that there are no bones left.

"Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?" Yu Lifei asked, no matter which way, it was something he didn't want to see.

"No, you have to choose one or the other." Yan Liqiang said that no matter which method is used, there are pros and cons.

"Mr. Yan, you are experienced, give me an idea." Yu Lifei said with a smile that if he couldn't make up his mind, the best way was to ask experienced people to help. Yan Liqiang is such a big company and has rich experience in dealing with government officials, so he knew it the last time he brought Liu Yonghui to the store.

"We can find an agent in Erfeng County and let him represent us with full authority." Yan Liqiang said slowly.

"Instead of hurting ten fingers, why don't you cut off one?" Yu Lifei asked.

"Not bad. Li Fei, you have a very high understanding. Yan Liqiang said with a smile. Although Yu Lifei is a rookie, he has a strong learning ability. A few days ago, he asked himself about Ren Jingtian, and he just clicked it at that time, but he didn't expect Yu Lifei to get it done. Now that Ren Jingtian has also come out, it is said that there is a good chance that nothing will happen.

"I don't understand this at all, I have to learn more from Mr. Yan." Yu Lifei said humbly.

"Although you don't know much about this, you can understand it a little, and you can create talent." Yan Liqiang said with a smile.

"Mr. Yan, I haven't had time to thank you for Brother Ren's matter, you really helped me a lot." Yu Lifei said that he wanted to help Ren Jingtian, but he had nowhere to do it. It was only after Yan Liqiang's guidance that he thought of looking for the family of the deceased. Coupled with this road construction, he already owes Yan Liqiang two favors. Although Yan Liqiang has never mentioned the matter of the tooth carving fisherman's music pen holder, he knows in his heart that Yan Liqiang's ultimate goal should still be it.

"This is what I should do, if you really want to thank me, just give me the tooth carving fisherman's music pen holder as soon as possible." Yan Liqiang said casually.

"I thought you wouldn't mention it?" Yu Lifei said with a smile that he owed Yan Liqiang a favor, even if Yan Liqiang didn't mention it, he would take the initiative to bring it up. Now that Yan Liqiang is talking about it again, it seems that he can't refuse anymore.

"Lifei, in fact, I can't help it. Our company has a big urban construction project in Dongcheng District, and if we can get the support of District Mayor Liu, there will be no more accidents. Now that he's interested in your ivory carving fisherman's pen holder, can I not help him with this? Yan Liqiang said that last time he took Liu Yonghui to buy an embroidery screen, it was also to please him.

"Mr. Yan, if I give you the tooth carving fisherman's music pen holder now, will it give people a feeling of mercenary?" Yu Lifei asked. Yesterday, Liu Yonghui offered 300,000 yuan, but now he wants to sell it to Yan Liqiang, will this give people the impression of sitting on the ground and starting the price?

"How can this be, whether it is me or District Chief Liu, we will thank you for your generosity." Yan Liqiang was overjoyed and said that since Yu Lifei said so, he was obviously ready to give him the tooth carving fisherman's music pen holder.

"Okay, you can tell District Chief Liu that this ivory carving fisherman's music pen holder, if he wants to make a move in the future, he can take it over at any time, and I promise to take it back at the original price." Yu Lifei said.

"It's a bit redundant, but I'll tell him anyway." Yan Liqiang said with a smile, Liu Yonghui is so obsessed with this pen holder, how can he give it to others? What's more, Liu Yonghui is not short of money, and such a situation is simply not possible.

"Okay, I'll go get something." Yu Lifei quickly hugged the tooth carving fisherman's music pen holder and put it in front of Yan Liqiang.

"It's such a good thing, no wonder District Chief Liu can't put it down, even I am tempted." Yan Liqiang picked up the ivory carving fisherman's music pen holder and admired it carefully, and liked it more and more, if it weren't for Liu Yonghui, he would also want to collect it. As soon as he put his things down, he wrote a cash check for a million.

"Mr. Yan, how is it a million? I can't accept that. Yu Lifei said in surprise. Liu Yonghui's price is 300,000, and he feels that it is too high. Now Yan Liqiang has even written a cash check for one million, which he naturally can't accept.

"Lifei, you don't know, this check is not for you. Wait until you give me a receipt for a million, and it's better if you have an invoice. Yan Liqiang said. If Liu Yonghui knew that he had spent a million to buy this tooth carving fisherman's music pen holder, would he be more grateful to himself?

"Mr. Yan, I can give you a million receipts, but you don't have to pay so much." Yu Lifei quickly understood what Yan Liqiang meant, didn't this make him see Liu Yonghui again in the future?

"Your words just now reminded me that no matter how much this ivory carving fisherman's pen holder is, you will take it back at the selling price in the future. So I think the price is more appropriate. Yan Liqiang said that he would naturally tell Liu Yonghui that in the future, if he wanted to transfer this ivory carved fisherman's music pen holder, Yu Lifei would take it back for one million.

"If District Chief Liu really wants to deal with this tooth carving fisherman's pen holder for one million, then I will ask you for the price difference, right?" Yu Lifei still thinks it's appropriate.
