The stench of ethylene is black smoke, and the acid treatment wastewater and halogen wastewater discharged from the waste copper recycling in Shaojia Village continue to run downstream, one station after another, and there is still downstream.

At the end of the year, the pig farm made a bumper harvest again, but the pig farm could not compare with the profit of the wire and cable factory. But the start of the cable factory led the surrounding villages to buy scrap copper processing plants, and finally the world was as black as a crow, and the stinky water and smell of Xiaolei's family were no longer a standout, and the people of Shaojia Village no longer complained about Xiaolei's family.

However, the surrounding villages also had to be connected to running water. Because the river water is unusable, and the groundwater polluted by acid brine is also unusable, everyone is forced to overtake the people in the city and use tap water.

This year, Yang Xun privately branded Dengfeng Wire and Cable Factory in the Northeast to engage in his wire and cable wholesale, over time, people also recognized him as the sales department of Dengfeng Wire and Cable Factory, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and the funds are getting stronger and stronger. Yang Xun's purchase volume in Dengfeng is getting bigger and bigger, so he is more and more able to speak in front of Lei Dongbao. However, Lei Dongbao still doesn't like Yang Xun very much, and often accuses Yang Xun of becoming more and more crazy and crazy. Isn't it just to be a bad master, what's there to be crazy about. Yang Xun couldn't fight back in front of Lei Dongbao.

Part 1 1988

In the early morning of New Year's Day, it was still dark, so Lei Dongbao got into a borrowed dark blue Santana and went to the train station to pick up people. He said in his heart that this car is really good, not to mention those tractors in the village, they are not cars, just say that he often rubs oil Chen Pingyuan's Beijing jeep, how can he sit on the stability of this car, the chair is soft, the car is heated, there is no air leakage, and the cotton jacket can't be worn. The only fly in the ointment is that his feet can't be opened, Lei Dongbao is fat now, others are already tall, and when they are fat, they will walk more loudly, just taking the car will be troublesome.

Lei Dongbao planned to buy one for use either, but he was reluctant to count the money earned by the village finance last year. Last year, there was a bumper harvest, not only did the village save a lot of money, but nearly 30 people in the village burned bags to buy motorcycles, and Lei Dongbao also bought a Yamaha. There are also many places where money is available, and the village has a third phase to replace all the old houses in the village with new houses. According to Chen Pingyuan's instructions, the village road was opened all the way to the provincial road, which was the most money-burning, and it was almost the same as using a ten-yuan ticket to pave it, and the little subsidy granted by the county was a drop in the bucket. The village still has to repay so many bank loans, and it has not been repaid yet. Lei Dongbao didn't want to pay it back, his two murderous eyes have been aiming at the city wire and cable factory that was squeezed by his Dengfeng wire and cable factory and could only rely on the production of cables above 10kv to make a living, he waited for the city wire and cable factory to be difficult to maintain, and then he said that he had to pay to annex the city wire and cable factory. But he was really depressed, even if this kind of state-owned factory did not produce for a few weeks, it could still maintain its breath and not close. If it were their Xiaolei family and the door would not open for three days, he would have to worry about the problem of eating the peasants in the whole village. It's unfair.

Lei Dongbao bought a platform ticket and went into the train station to wait, at this time the sky was already bright, the northwest wind was whistling, the platform was not covered, and the staff shivered from the cold. Lei Dongbao just covered his face red in the car, and his lips were bruised by the northwest wind. Finally, the train roared into the station, Lei Dongbao immediately found the soft sleeper car and ran to wait, as expected, the person he was waiting for was in the soft sleeper. He stepped forward and snatched someone's luggage as if he were blocking the road.

The person who came was Lei Dongbao's most admired Lao Xu. Lao Xu wears a camel-colored down jacket, not to mention that this kind of down jacket is rare, this color is also rare in winter. As far as the eye can see, there are mostly red and green basket three-color ski shirts. Lao Xu came alone, and when he saw Lei Dongbao, he laughed, and he didn't greet him politely at all, "Dongbao, Xiao Song said in the letter that you are now the best spokesperson for your pig farm, and you are really a lot fatter." ”

Lei Dongbao also laughed, and when he saw Lao Xu, he liked it, "Xiaohui, what did he say about me?" Dare to betray me behind my back? This traitor. Lao Xu, you haven't changed at all, ah yes, I didn't inform Chen Pingyuan, you said it. You can live in my house, I just moved to a new house, so big that I can talk and have an echo, I will leave you two rooms, and you can sleep as you like. ”

Lao Xu smiled: "What should I eat?" You run your own pig farm, and I have to eat whatever the pork. ”

"That's not easy, you go into the pig farm and take any finger, I immediately asked someone to put it down and cook it for you to eat, now there are 7,000 pigs alone, more than 10,000 a year. Chen Pingyuan assigned me a task of 10,000 yuan a year, how can I be obedient. Lao Xu, this way. ”

Lao Xu saw that it was actually a brand-new car, he went in and sat down, sitting in the back, and Lei Dongbao of course followed to the back. Lao Xu said curiously: "Xiao Song said that you bought a motorcycle, and you bought a car again?" ”

"No, I asked the Municipal Materials Bureau to borrow it, how can I let you eat the northwest wind on a motorcycle. The material bureau now has a lot of money, and the trading company can make money just by selling the approvals, and the parity copper given by the state will become a bargaining price in their hands, and this change of hands will change hands and two hands, and we will earn a lot of money for our wire and cable factory in a year, which is enough to buy several cars. ”

The driver laughed in front of him: "Your family is still medium-sized, and they only complain about the steel when they enter the steel, but they can't leave our Material Bureau, a road from ancient Huashan." ”

"That's because they're lazy, I've been going straight from the steel mill for years. I didn't get half of my brass from you. ”

"Secretary Lei, your steel bar is produced in a small factory, of course, you can go directly from a small steel factory, half of your copper is used for scrap copper recycling, we all know, but if they want to use steel plates, steel coils, copper plates, copper coils, and copper coils, they have to go from our material bureau, who cares about you in the big factory." You said no? I'm not afraid to tell you, it's just us. ”

Lei Dongbao looked back at Lao Xu: "Look at you, I really can't help it." I'll wait for tomorrow when the fire gets bigger, and I'll set up a copper smelter when I have money. ”

Lao Xu kept smiling and listening, and then said: "I always wanted to see how you operate below, but I didn't expect to contact you as soon as I came." Dongbao, talk about the purchase of your wire and cable factory. As soon as the driver in front heard this, he immediately played a difficult action, the car continued to speed, he looked back at Lao Xu a few times, and felt that someone was unusual, and he didn't dare to talk more.

Lei Dongbao refused honestly and unceremoniously: "I can't tell, Shigen has an account in his heart, and I will let him report when I go back." I only take care of a few big items, such as the purchase of plastic particles from the wire factory, which is the factory of his classmate that Xiaohui helped me contact, which is cheap; Half of the copper purchases are from the small copper factories around, but they don't give enough for me, so I have to ask the Materials Bureau for it; There is also the purchase of cement and steel bars in the pre-production yard; I don't care about the pig farm, I just ask the grain management to enter, where can it be bad. I don't care about the small ones, let the factory buy the goods by myself, and the brigade supervises. ”

Lao Xu smiled: "It's good, you have the courage to grasp the big and let go of the small, I still have to learn from you." How much is the difference between the purchase price of your small individual factory and the material bureau? ”

"It's also the difference, the difference is a lot, and I'm thankful that I can get it. Even if the train arrived in the middle of the night in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, we had to rush out immediately to grab it, and it would be gone a moment later, and we had to take it from a trading company that the Materials Bureau did not know who ran it, and the price was not accurate. Lei Dongbao said this, and the driver in front of him laughed.

Lao Xu smiled when he heard this, "When you sell wires, it's your turn to your tail, right?" ”

Lei Dongbao was immediately excited, and his eyes showed a fierce light, "Old Xu, you will be right as soon as you say it." We now have money in hand, and if we have money, we can be ruthless, and the things we make are not necessarily sold if you come to buy them, just like a hot hand. I will cover the things I make now, and sell them only at a high price, and I am not afraid that I will not have money to buy materials and pay wages, I have more money than you buy wires, see who is in a hurry to whom, you are not in a hurry with me, you have to pay a high price, hehe. ”

Lao Xu nodded again and again, "If you don't have privileges, it depends on who has the means and who has the money." Well, this is the same as gambling money, who has more chips in his hand, who is more bold when betting, and dares to use more tricks. ”

Lei Dongbao felt reasonable when he heard it, but he couldn't help but ask: "Lao Xu, people like you can also gamble?" ”

"Analogy, huh." Lao Xu was a little embarrassed to destroy his good impression in Lei Dongbao's mind, "Tell me about your pig farm, or I gave you the idea." Don't always talk about wire factories. ”

After Lei Dongbao gained weight, his voice sounded even more polite, plus he had been the boss in the village over time, and his tone was unconsciously domineering, but Lao Xu already knew this person, even if he hadn't seen him for many years, he would not be unsuitable for Lei Dongbao's fierce and vicious appearance. The two talked a lot about the operation of Xiaoleijia Village along the way, and Lao Xu said that he was very inspired.

When the car arrived at the village road of Xiaoleijia Village, Lao Xu looked at the village in front of him, which was completely unfamiliar, and was shocked: "This is your Xiaolei family?" ”

"Of course, ten people came, and ten people didn't believe. I couldn't even have imagined it before. ”

"Xiao Song has described it to me, but my imagination is still limited, and I can't keep up with the speed of your development. I can't imagine it. ”

"He's busy, he hasn't been here for more than a year, and he must not know the road when he comes, he hasn't seen this road yet."

Santana is simply a flat road directly to Lei Dongbao's new house, which is one of the five largest houses in the village, and the other four belong to Lei Shigen, Lei Zhengming, Lei Zhongfu, and Shi Hongwei. Lei Dongbao said that the five people contributed the most, and there is no need to be embarrassed to live in a big house. On the contrary, the other four still muttered that if they still lived in the largest house allocated in the village with such a high income, would they be scolded by the villagers, but as a result, no one scolded this time, and everyone seemed to have become accustomed to such unfair distribution.

The four members waited together at Lei Dongbao's house to welcome Lao Xu, Lao Xu was not surprised by this kind of battle, and shook hands with everyone very cordially, but asked to go up to the roof to see the whole picture of the village first. Lei Dongbao took Lao Xu up, and Lao Xu smelled a strong mixed smell when he entered the village, and he was still the same in Lei's house. So when I got on the roof platform, I asked, "What else does it smell like a pig?" ”

"The plastic heating in the wire factory also stinks, and there is no way. You look at the dense chimneys on the roofs of the wire factories. Xiaohui shook his head as soon as he came, he was foreign. ”

Lao Xu didn't think it was strange, he was visiting privately this time, and wanted to learn first-hand information about rural economic development through personal relationships. When he was on a business trip, he had seen many places with such pollution, although people had done things when he arrived, but he himself came out of the grassroots shift with one hand and one foot, and he couldn't see those hands and feet? This is mostly the case in places where the economy is beginning to recover. "Wires have to be made of this chlorine-containing plastic?"

"It's okay if you don't need to, but the price of raw materials is too high, and I have to lose money."

Lao Xu nodded, this is the truth, demand determines production, and it can only be done so far for Xiaoleijia village-run enterprises. "It seems that the workshop really doesn't have a wall, and it can exhaust the gas as much as possible. This plastic is toxic, and you try not to let pregnant women into the workshop. Alas, at present, only primary and low-end products can be used, like the high-end products of Xiao Song's new equipment, most of which have to be digested by exports. Why does the pig farm stink so much? It's so stinky in winter, but it's okay in summer? ”

"The pig farm has always been so smelly, no way, we use a big tractor every day to pull pig manure, pig farm, not smelly pig farm, every day stinky water smells enough. You see, the fruit trees and bamboos planted all over the surrounding mountains are also raised by pig dung, and the mountains are full of flowers in spring. Lao Xu, you see that the mountain is full of fruit trees, this is all the idea you helped us think. Most of the fruit trees are just beginning to bear fruit, but unfortunately no one is willing to contract the hills, and the fruit is not easy to sell, and it will rot after a few days. Last autumn, for the first time, there were so many fruits, and I mobilized the whole village to eat oranges and pears, and they said that the oranges were on the fire and the pears were cleared, which was just the right harmony. ”

Lao Xu smiled, "Don't worry, with the improvement of people's living standards, there will be more and more people who eat fruits, but you have to choose a capable person who is responsible for improving the quality of fruit trees and planting the sweetest and largest fruits." Look for the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Let's go down. Lao Xu went down first, and Lei Dongbao followed, "Dongbao, your house is so beautiful on the outside, why don't you do it on the inside?" At least pull the cart and put the furniture back. ”

"When I moved into a new house, Xiaohui told me that he wanted me to wait for him to come back before making furniture, and he would draw me how to put it. But how can he have time, his daughter doesn't recognize him when she's half a year old, and I can't count on him. Lao Xu, your ability is better than Xiaohui, you help me. ”

"Oh, yes, he told me in his letter that his renovation work is actually more wordy than building a new workshop, and he won't have time to help you until at least this fall. Your Xiaohui has a great future, a good brain, and a willingness to work, but also encountered a good era, I can't help but itch when I think about the things he does, and I always ask him to write more letters to tell me the details, it seems that it shouldn't be, he is so busy and I still occupy his time. ”

"He is not tired to death, and if he is not tired, he will wilt and die. Lao Xu, you live here tonight, it's all new. ”

Lao Xu was unrestrained in front of Lei Dongbao, and when he heard the words, he looked over and saw that there was only one bed and two wooden chairs in the big empty room, but there was a TV set on a one-legged golden rooster table, and the TV set was covered with a shiny pink cover, and the two quilts on the bed were of course also shining brocade faces, with dragons and phoenixes, one bed was red and one bed was bright green, and the pillow at the head of the bed was orange-red. It's very glamorous overall. Lao Xu Xin said that it was no wonder that Song Yunhui, who often went abroad, wanted to say that he came to arrange for Lei Dongbao, if Lei Dongbao's elegant wife was there, this home might be a completely different style. However, Lao Xu believed that Lei Dongbao had given him the best. He smiled and said, "Yes, yes, I'll stay here for the night." What about you? Which one are you? Look. ”

Lei Dongbao was also happy that Lao Xu was so invisible, and took Lao Xu to his room. Lao Xu entered the door and saw that there was also such a lonely bed, an old three-door cupboard, and an old chest of drawers, which seemed to be used for marriage before, but a camphor wood box at the end of the bed was different. Lao Xu walked over and said, "Your safe?" This box is well done. ”

Lei Dongbao didn't answer, and opened it for Lao Xu to see. Lao Xu saw it, didn't speak again, and didn't persuade like Song Yunhui, only patted Lei Dongbao on the shoulder and pulled him downstairs.

Lei Mu had already heard that such a big official from Beijing was coming, so she planned to escape, and hid next door early this morning. Lao Xu, who watched the car through the window of the neighbor's house, was so arrogant and arrogant, and he looked like a big leader, and he didn't dare to go home at all. The tea and meals downstairs are all cooked by the daughter-in-law of the Shigen family and the Zhengming family next door. Lao Xu was short of time, so when he came up, he threw out questions one by one and asked the four members of the Xiaolei family present in detail. Including the management structure of Xiaolei's family, he also understood it clearly. Lao Xu has seen a lot, and sometimes proposes how a model village is doing, and discusses its rationality with the audience.

Lei Shigen is similar to the general manager, he was asked the most, and he gradually found that Lao Xu had to dig deep and dig deeper, dig out the causes of the matter, and discuss the current rationality and possible variables in the future with everyone. Lao Xu stood tall and saw far, those far-sighted things were naturally not something that the five Xiao Lei family could catch up with, and the five people present benefited a lot. However, although Lei Dongbao reveres Lao Xu, he does not blindly obey, he thinks that things that are impossible to achieve in the future are directly opposed, so that the four members are a little sweaty for him, Lei Shigen and Lei Dongbao sit together, kicking from time to time to remind Lei Dongbao not to be so rushed. Lao Xu liked Lei Dongbao's self-confidence, Lei Dongbao accepted it if it made sense, and Lei Dongbao didn't make sense, so he slapped him to death, and he didn't show mercy to Lei Dongbao.

The four members finally saw that Lao Xu and Lei Dongbao had a great friendship. It's all heart-to-heart, and it's really a matter of popularity, so the difference is huge
