Uncle Zhou said: "That's right, we have prepared a warehouse for you, and the jadeite cut out must be collected by you." ”

"Okay. Boss Zhou, 4 trucks of wool, how many days will it take to cut it? ”

"This time I invited more than 30 masters from other stone cutting factories, from 7 o'clock in the morning to 10 o'clock in the evening, one stone cutter can cut about 15 pieces, we have 40 stone cutters, cut out in a day and a half, completely wiped well, and it will take two days."

Li Xize said: "Then I'll stick to it here alone." ”

Wuyang pointed to the small door next to the gate and said, "Uncle Zhou, what is this?" ”

"It's the airport and station for security checks, and the workers go to and from work through this small door, and if they carry jadeite, they can be found. There's no way, it's all valuable, so you have to guard against it. ”

When I entered the door, I saw a large yard with a few locust trees, elm trees, and small apple trees growing here and there. The houses in the courtyard are all dilapidated two-story buildings, and they are gray. On the side of the road in the courtyard, there were a lot of broken stones left over from cutting wool, and in the distance was a long asbestos tile house.

"Wuyang, this was originally a farm, we didn't demolish these houses, we used them, and those bungalows are our factories. You drive in, to the place where the wool is piled up, and there are still two miles of land, Uncle Gao, it is difficult for them to go so far. ”

"Uncle Zhou, are you squeezing?"

Grandpa Gao said: "Wuyang, you go over first, we are fine anyway, just take a stroll." ”

Uncle Zhou said, "Uncle Gao, if you want to eat apples, pick them yourself." There's a faucet over there. Don't look at the apples, the pockmarks don't look good. It's very sweet. These are all left over from the past. We didn't cut it. ”

"Okay, you guys are busy, leave us alone."

After driving to the front of the bungalow, after getting out of the car, Uncle Zhou said: "These wool materials were pulled back this time, 12 cars, divided into 3 piles." The quantity and size of the single block are about the same, Leader Li, you can pick which pile you want. ”

Uncle Li said: "Let's just ask for a bunch of them, just count them, so as not to have a misunderstanding when the time comes." ”

Uncle Zhou said: "This is as it should be, your uncle and nephew take it slowly, and we will arrange a forklift driver to prepare to carry the wool." ”

Wuyang said, "Uncle Zhou, you can arrange for someone to bring mineral water." ”

"Okay, you're going for a walk with me?"

"Okay." The afternoon sun followed. "Uncle Zhou, your yard is quite big."

"It's pretty big. At that time, we bought 1,000 acres, and more than 300 acres were occupied by the construction of the Fourth Ring Road, and more than 600 acres. At that time, I could have bought a bigger one, but no one could see the back of the head, right? ”

"Yes. If I knew, I'd buy some too. ”

"Wuyang, here is all for you, you find us a piece of land in the mountains, and we will move over as much as possible. You see, there are residential buildings all around, and we are cutting and rubbing stones here, and the noise is really loud, and we are embarrassed ourselves. ”

"Uncle Zhou, I'll buy it with you, and you can set the price."

"I don't want you to buy it, you give us a piece of land in the mountains, it doesn't need to be so big, there is a small valley, it is easy to build water, electricity, and roads, and it is best if there are no residents nearby, just a few dozen acres."

"I can look for the valley, but here I must buy it. The land in the mountains is not valuable, what kind of location is this, and where is the price high. ”

"Wuyang, let's be honest with you, we have earned all this land, and we have made money. At that time, we bought it for 180,000 yuan per mu, and the repair of the fourth ring road accounted for 320 acres, which was given to us at 800,000 yuan per mu, minus the total land acquisition money, we had already earned 76 million yuan, and it was enough to use this money to go to the mountainous areas to acquire land and build houses. How much have you helped us over the years, buying wool, giving facades and housing, we have not been polite to you, why are you polite now? ”

"Uncle Zhou, it's not that I'm polite, it's really too big, you also know that the price of the land here is more than 10,000 per square meter, the more than 600 acres, even if half is yours, that's more than 2 billion, I want your land, then I'll help you all these years, don't you have to come back once? Besides, my assets are more than yours, and it's easier to come, your assets are all recovered by thousands of dollars or tens of thousands of dollars, and there are a lot of ups and downs in them, you know this yourself, right? Grandpa Zhou is over 70 years old, and he still carves jadeite every day, a good work, but only tens of millions, you say yes? ”

Uncle Zhou said: "Then you don't want to think about it, without you to help us buy wool, if we are still like before, bidding for land piece by piece, not to mention how much it costs, and there are not so many goods sold in the store, where did we come from today's situation?" Besides, these jadeites in my home collection are enough to be carved for many years, how much money can I make? If you don't want the land, why are we embarrassed to let you continue to buy wool for us? ”

"Buying wool is just a gesture, don't worry about it, as long as I use it myself in the future, there will be no shortage of your use." If I ask for your land for nothing, I will have a pimple in my heart, and I can't get along with it as frankly as I am now. ”

"Wuyang, you deserve to be a secretary, I can't talk about you. Do whatever you say. What are you going to do with this land? ”

"Build a villa. You know, I have a lot of family members, and I have more relatives, so I can't live without a place to live in the capital. I'm going to build 200 villas, and if I come to work in the capital in the future, everyone will live there. ”

"Wuyang, you came to work in the capital, you must be the central leader, at that time you must not have the freedom to act, there are secretaries and guards all the time to follow, I advise you not to do this kind of thing. If you build such a villa, whether it is deliberate reconnaissance by someone with a heart, or if you are careless and leak the news, it will bring endless trouble. ”

"Then according to what you say, as long as I continue in my career in the future, there will be less and less freedom?"

"There's no doubt about it."

"So how can I get the best of both worlds?"

Uncle Zhou smiled: "I'm not a person in officialdom, what I know is hearsay, and it may not work." I'm talking about it. You listen to it. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"One is to choose the staff around you. Cultivate good cronies and subordinates. After these people know your secrets, they can only promote and appease, and cannot oppose them, and the fortress is the easiest to attack from the inside, this is the truth; The second is to try to be as stable as possible, everything has its two sides, if you go to the central government too quickly to work, there is no freedom. Your women are young, and they will inevitably be snubbed, and there will inevitably be resentment and complaints, and it would be much better if you came up again after the age of 50. When a woman reaches this age, it is much easier to soothe. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Uncle Zhou, then I can't go to find a young one anymore?" ”

"In fact, women are almost the same, beautiful or not, that's the case, there are talents in the country, and beautiful women can't be found. You should have a sense of this. You don't look for it anymore, just for a better life. It is also responsible for your women and children. Think about it, if you lose your office, what will happen to your woman? What about your child? What about your property? ”

"Thank you, I'll think about these questions seriously. Uncle Zhou, how do you say this house in front of you will be built? ”

"If you want to build a house, don't build it here, if you want to come in the future, you have to go through half of the capital, which is unrealistic. Don't you want to build a museum, I discussed with Lao Yu that all the residents over there will be resettled here, and if you don't want to, you can pay more money or give more area, you can settle it. The museum has 4 residential buildings, two for the staff and two for your home. It's lively during the day, and no one will notice you when you go in and out, but at night, the security measures will be very tight, and people can't get in. ”

"It's better. But I still won't take it lightly, after all, it's better to guard against the mouths of the people than to prevent the river. ”

"Yes, if you can have this understanding, you won't be careless. Okay, I'm not going to talk about it, go arrange for the forklift driver and other personnel to go, and ask you to get mineral water from the office and give it to them. They should be counting soon. ”

Wuyang carried the mineral water to the place where the wool was piled, and Li Xize's uncle and nephew were already standing there with their hands in their hands and talking. "Big brother, you see, these 3 piles are 200 pieces of wool, the size of each piece is very different, if it is weighed, it may be about 10 tons."

Wuyang said: "This is when the mine is mined, it is exploded like this, and the price is calculated by the block when buying there, and when it is loaded, it is loaded from the end without interruption." Nishizawa, it's good to have a lot of your eye. ”

Li Xize said: "Of course I want a big one, but will it look ugly?" ”

"What does it matter, who knows if there is jadeite in the stone, and whether the size of the jadeite also depends on the stone."

"Okay, we're going to have this pile in the middle."

After a while, the forklift came, and under the command of Uncle Zhou, the forklift picked up the wool and went to the stone cutting. A few people in Wuyang also walked over, and saw that the outside of the stone-cutting room looked like a long slip, but in fact, the inside was divided into two rooms, after all, it was two, and it was not good for the jade to be confused. What's more, Grandpa Qin will definitely get more care.

Wuyang walked into one, there was a lot of space inside, 40 stone cutters were lined up, and there was still a lot of leeway. After the forklift brought in the wool, the masters fixed it to the stone cutter and started working. There are still many masters waiting to rub the stones.

The noise was very loud, the gravel was flying, a few people looked at it and walked a few knives, then came out, chatted outside for half an hour, and Wuyang heard the sound of the stone movers, so he went in again to take a look.

The outer layer of the jadeite cut out, there are some stones, under the hands of the masters, the stones turned into powder and flew away, and the crystal clear jadeite revealed its original shape.

"That's how the jade came from, it's amazing." Uncle Li said with a smile.

Uncle Zhou pulled Li Xize's sleeve, "Let's go to the warehouse." ”

Out of the stone-cutting room, Wuyang said, "Uncle Li, let's go and eat." ”

Uncle Li said, "You go first, and take the two old men back." I'll be fine when I go back, I'll eat here and go. ”

Wuyang smiled: "Uncle, you saw these jadeites and couldn't take a step, right?" Why don't you send it home? ”

Uncle Li smiled and said, "When you first dealt with Jadeite, wasn't it the same as I am now?" Let's go, thank you for your hard work, and there will be time to get together in the future. ”

Wuyang said goodbye to them and beckoned Grandpa Gao and Grandma Gao to get in the car and go home. "Grandpa, do you remember this place?"

Grandpa Gao said, "I've been here before, and I'm here with Lao Qin. ”

"Tomorrow Uncle and their wool will arrive, and they will also cut stones. Do you do it yourself or do you have someone else take care of it? You take care of it yourself. Is the body able to eat? ”

"I'm fine. But I called your uncle yesterday, and he said that your sister-in-law will come back today, and she will take care of these things. ”

Back in Jingyun Community, Gao Baoliang's lover is indeed at home. After saying hello, my sister-in-law said, "Brother-in-law, thank you for giving us such a nice gift again." In the past few years, our family has your help. It's a big deal. ”

"Sister-in-law, this is all your own hard work, but I have made a fortune from you. Sister-in-law, now this is the situation, we went to see the villa today, the quality of the construction there is not good, I am going to build another one, these jadeites have no place to put for the time being. ”

The sister-in-law said, "Grandpa, can I put some in the basement here?" ”

Grandpa Gao said: "The basement here is already full, and there are many empty houses in the house, otherwise they will be piled up in the room, right?" ”

Wuyang said, "That's not going to work. In the long run, there is always a safety hazard. Sister-in-law. That's right, Qin Xiaoying's bank has already been built, and the underground vault there has a large capacity, so you can leave it there. ”

The sister-in-law said, "Brother-in-law, it's not a good thing to leave these valuables at home, let's put them over, and it's better to put them in the basement." ”

"Yes, I also have this plan, Xiaoying will come in two days, and let her arrange it."

Grandpa Gao said: "Wuyang, since the basement of the villa does not put jadeite, there is no need to renovate, then don't build it again, you can live after the decoration, let Xiao Liu decorate it tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, if there is a good one in the future, just move it. Grandpa, I won't eat at home, so I asked my godmother to eat. Sister-in-law, I'll pick you up tomorrow. ”

The sister-in-law smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, your own family is not polite. Aren't I going to pick up wool and cut stones these days, and my classmates and friends, who have helped Xiaoya and Xiaoying open a store for so many years, we also have to get together, and when we are done, I have to go back to my hometown to visit the child's grandfather and grandmother, the child has always been in their care, and it will be time to go to high school next year. ”

"Oh, that's fast, when we went, the kids were just starting school, right?"

"It's been 12 years since I'm still in kindergarten, so don't all your children go to school? If we don't see our children growing, we don't know that we are old. ”

Wuyang said: "Where is my sister-in-law old, she is still like that, and she hasn't changed at all." Sister-in-law, did the child's uncle also go to the Middle East? ”

"Go, go over together, and now after your brother leaves, he will help Dad manage a few oil fields. Dad is 60 years old this year and wants to retire, but there are too many things to do without. ”

"Then boldly promote and use young people."

"That's natural, the business is expanding so fast, how can you do it without young people? The current people in charge of the oilfield are all doctors and masters in their 30s. If these people are in the national oil field, they are just a director. Although we do not have an administrative level here, our income is not comparable to that of state-owned enterprises. ”

"Okay, it's up to the uncle and you to bother more. Where is Big Brother now? ”

"In Russia, it has been going for several months. Once the exploitation of the South China Sea was on track, we went to Siberia, Russia. ”

"Is oil production now begins?"

"Nope. That Tan Yinglong went to run for a long time, but he couldn't run down, and it was only when we went that we reached an agreement. ”

"Why can't he do it?"

The sister-in-law said: "After all, he is a person who has never seen the world, and he is reluctant to give money, how can people pay attention to him?" After Baoliang went, he sent a total of 20 million US dollars, and everything was done. Two oil fields have now been explored, and when the thaw thaws next year, oil can be recovered. ”

"Sister-in-law, you sue Brother Sù that you will continue to explore more oil fields, and at the same time build more oil depots, so as not to cause trouble due to poor sales at that time."

"I understand this. The size of the refinery is larger than that of our oil fields, and the oil depot is even bigger. Brother-in-law, Baoliang plans to build an oil pipeline and a gas pipeline to be sent back to China directly, and the investment may be more. ”

"Even if the oil pipeline is over, the approval procedures are too cumbersome, and there will be protracted negotiations between the two countries, so we can build a line to Okhotsk, which can be transported back to China by oil tanker and sold internationally. If you build a terminal in Okhotsk, you must be able to berth at least 200,000-ton oil tankers. The construction of the gas pipeline still has to be carried out, and this negotiation is much easier. ”

"Okay, anyway, Baoliang will be back soon, it's too cold there, only a few employees are left to take care of it, let him go to Zhongnan when the time comes."

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Wuyang, who was still asleep, was woken up by the phone, and when he looked at the number, it was Grandpa Qin's house. "Wuyang, the wool sent from Myanmar has arrived, let's go over and take a look?"

"Okay, I'll come right over." Wuyang actually felt that he didn't have to go to this matter by himself at all, but Grandpa Qin had spoken, and he had nothing to do, so it was difficult to refuse.

When she arrived at Grandpa Qin's house, Grandma Qin served hot hand-rolled noodles, "Child, eat it while it's hot." ”

"Thank you grandma. Grandpa, did you inform Uncle Yu? ”

"Informed, we will go with the grandchildren and daughter-in-law of Master Gao. Kid, the 32 truckloads of wool you brought over this time have a great impact on your own business, right? ”

"It's okay, the mine hasn't been mining, we'll just buy it later."

Grandpa Qin said: "By next year, the price of wool will definitely rise again." Some time ago, I watched TV and said that a piece of wool was priced at 27 million, and it was still good, but I don't know if there is emerald. ”

"Grandpa, the wool market is bullish all the way, we are now not only picking the emerald, as long as it is wool, whether it is an old pit or a new pit, whether the table is good or not, we all buy it back and collect it, it must be much better than saving money. There are hundreds of acres of land here in your stone cutting factory, is it just for collecting wool? ”

"There, we said it was for you, we don't care what you do, if you have to give money, we will accept it, you just find us a piece of land in the mountains. If we also collect wool, will it conflict with your business? ”

Wuyang said, "It really won't. Grandpa, saying that jadeite resources are depleted, it is fake news released by the government and miners in order to raise prices, and I dare to assert that within 20 years, there will definitely be mining. If you are willing to collect, tell me how much I want, and I will arrange for it to be sent to you. ”

"Wuyang, I'm a businessman, I've been honest all my life, and I'm not willing to take risks when I'm old. You say, if the wool you buy back, the table is not good, and you will smash it in your hands in the future, so you can only cut it yourself? So, I still don't do wool business anymore, if possible, you can buy me more every year, 10 cars, 20 cars, the more the better, and leave it to your children and grandchildren to cut and carve slowly. Not to mention making a fortune, life can at least be guaranteed, do you say it's okay? ”

Wuyang said: "Your idea is very good, let's do it." ”

Grandpa Qin said: "You don't have to treat Old Zhou as equals, when you are not embarrassed, just give him some." I am friends with him, and between friends, it is love to help, and it is duty not to help, he can understand. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Grandpa, you are familiar with the situation in the capital, you said, if I build a big market in the stone cutting factory, what do you think? (To be continued......)
