Just as Dazhi and I were in the county seat to analyze the whole incident, the people left behind in the quarry in the countryside called and said that someone had started assembling equipment on the other side of the mine next to our mining site, and that they were under the banner of "good brothers" mining company.

"It's so fast! As soon as we received a notice from the county, someone immediately went into action. Dazhi hung up the phone and said with emotion, and at the same time, a sadness that he hadn't seen for a long time appeared on his face.

"It seems that the affairs of the Dazhifu mining farm can't go on, so it will be squeezed by people, and the project will be aborted sooner or later, maybe, a few days later, we will withdraw to Beijing together."

I was also surprised, I didn't expect the other party to start so quickly, and the matter of mining should have been targeted by people for a long time.

"What kind of power is it that can execute so quickly?"

Looks like we're up against each other this time.

If you want to know more, you have to communicate face-to-face with the so-called two good mining companies to know the details.

So, we decided to go back to the mine first.

On the way, Dazhi kept muttering and complaining, complaining that the county leaders had stolen the fruits of our labor; Complaining that God is unfair to us, after a lot of hardship, it is not easy to get one thing, but the butt on the successful chair is not yet hot, and a Cheng bites gold halfway to kill us, and wants to share our interests, which is no different from the Ming robbery.

This is the case, and it is useless to say more.

I just kept comforting him.

"Dazhi, let's calm down first, go back and see what the other party is coming from, and then make a decision."

Now that the matter has come to this, there is no escape, and facing the difficulties is our best choice at present.

When we drove back to the mining site, we unexpectedly found that the Dazhifu mining farm and the good employees of the two brothers were fighting-for-tat, and the situation was a little out of control.

The employees of "Dazhifu" carried iron rods, pickaxes, and wooden sticks to drive out the "good brothers" who tried to steal business with us, and the employees present saw me and Dazhi coming back, and their emotions seemed to be more excited.

Dazhi and I jumped out of the car and walked to the front of the crowd.

It can be seen that the other party does not show weakness at all, although their numbers are at a disadvantage, but everyone is very capable, the clothing is uniform, the black clothes are uniformly printed with the company logo of "good brothers", the spirit is full of style, and compared with the colorful mining employees on our side, the aura also has the upper hand.

The two brothers are the leader of the company, who looks familiar, and when he walks in, he is Xiaowei, a childhood playmate of our village, and the first person in the village to get rich.

When I just graduated from college and interned, Xiaowei, who had been working in the south and had a small achievement, had already become a big boss, drove a luxury car, and was once a successful person envied by everyone in the village and even the whole town.

For Xiaowei, my mother has compared me with him more than once, and regretted letting me go to college, but after reading for a long time, I still didn't achieve anything, and I was not as good as a friend who didn't graduate from junior high school.

To be honest, I myself admire Xiaowei's achievements in private.

A penniless countryman, with no academic qualifications and no resources, has achieved success through his own hard work, and has experienced all kinds of hardships and perseverance, this spirit is admirable.

I haven't seen him for many years, Xiaowei's appearance has not changed much, but he has gained a lot of weight, and his body shape is a little out of shape.

We were good playmates when we were children, and now we are a little surprised to meet again on this occasion.

Xiaowei obviously remembered me, and when he saw me, his face turned red before he could speak.

He is still vaguely the same as when he was a child, shy and silent.

"It turned out to be Mr. Xiaowei, Mr. Xiaowei, I haven't seen you for a long time! What have you been busy with lately? Hey, haven't you been in Guangzhou all the time? Why do you have time to run here today? I stepped forward to shake his hand and said hello happily.

No matter what identity we are now, which interests we represent, we can see our old friends in our hometown, it is still very cordial, looking at his cowardly appearance, there is still the shadow of the past childhood, I seem to have returned to the days when I got along with him more than ten years ago.

However, with the passage of time, will childhood partners still take into account the long-lost and unforgettable feelings in the business field?

"Great power, you ..... Hello. Xiaowei was still stumbling when he spoke, and the expression on his face was a little embarrassed when he saw me.

I haven't seen each other for so many years, and the meeting is on such a confrontational occasion, which is probably beyond his expectations.

"You know each other?!" , Dazhi looked at me, looked at Xiaowei, and seemed to be a little unconvinced.

"A villager, I grew up with a bare ass when I was a child." , I whispered to him.

Xiaowei seemed to hear what I said to Dazhi.

He turned his head and gestured to the crowd gathered behind him, and the man in black suddenly dispersed in an orderly manner.

This is Xiaowei's specialty.

Xiaowei has been very shrewd since he was a child, and he never suffers in fights, and it is his style to accept it when he sees it.

Maybe he thinks that there are many of us, and it is not good for him to stalemate, so he made the decision to dismiss the boat?

In response, Dazhi also shouted to the people on our side, "It's okay, let's disperse." ”

When the people on both sides dispersed, Dazhi and I walked in front of Xiaowei.

"Let's go, Brother Xiaowei, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are such a big boss, can you give us a face and come to our office to chat for a while? We haven't seen each other in over a decade! I was half-joking with him.

At the same time, I was also secretly glad that if the opponent was Xiaowei, the situation should be more favorable.

At the very least, we can talk openly and honestly about mining farms.

Xiao Wei blinked his little eyes and looked at Dazhi beside me warily, as if to confirm that Dazhi would not attack him by surprise.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is the general manager of Dazhifu Mining Company, Mr. Dazhi." , I ceremoniously introduced Dazhi to him.

Dazhi stepped forward and shook his hand politely.

It can be seen that there is still obvious hostility between the two of them.

Walking into the simple office, the attitude of the two people towards each other has eased.

"Brother, I haven't seen you for so many years, what are you busy with? I heard the villagers say that you have become a big boss, and I don't know where you are or what you are busy with, it seems that our brothers still have fate, and they met in this wild place. As soon as I sat down, I poured a glass of water for Xiaowei and asked with concern, I also wanted to get a little inside information by the way.

I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, we haven't had any intersection, we haven't communicated with each other at all, and my curiosity makes me really want to know what business Xiaowei is doing outside, so that he can easily succeed in such a short period of time.

"Hey, I, I, just, just blind... it. Xiaowei took my water and drank it all, it seems that he is really thirsty, and the big scene of persuasion just now should not be a little tongue-in-cheek.

"Where, can, can be with you... This college student is better than ah. He winked slyly and glanced at me.

He is very good at teasing, and his years of business experience have changed him, and he is no longer my shy playmate as a child.

Obviously, he was wary of me, and he would not tell the truth about specific matters, let alone reveal any key information to me.

Shibei should be impressed for three days.

Partners become enemies.

Profit makes people lose their nature.

His obvious defensiveness against me made me feel uneasy.

I lost interest in asking him for details.

"Alas, buddy, what's going on with your "glue" company? Dazhi saw the gap between us, and he stood aside and watched Xiaowei's stammering expression, a little impatient.

"What, what glue... Glue company? Xiaowei looked at Dazhi in confusion.

"Hello brothers, aren't they just glue." , Dazhi pursed his lips, and there was a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, you... You mean... Say my mining, mining company? Xiaowei suddenly understood, and he smiled.

"Brothers are better than they.... Cat Rich, Dog, Dog Rich, King ...... Eighth, Wang Bafu's name is good, right? ”

"You!? --", Dazhi was angry for a while, and he was choked to speak.

I was on the sidelines, listening to their jokes about each other, and I was so angry that I almost didn't laugh out loud.

The name of Dazhifu company is what I came up with, implying that the company should first have great ambitions before it can obtain the wealth of the people, and it also means that the company's legal person belongs, and the rich word is a good wish for the company's legal person, I didn't expect it to be so vulgar under Xiaowei's interpretation.

"You two don't say it's useless." , I interrupted them.

Turning to Xiaowei, "Dazhi means to ask you, what's going on with your two good mining companies?" ”

Xiaowei didn't answer my question directly.

"What mining company, good buddy? I...... I don't know...... I don't know. ”

"You're not the boss of a good mining company?" , Dazhi and I looked at each other.

"No..... No. ”

Xiaowei was lying, and I could tell from his demeanor that it was clearly ridiculous.

He looked at me, apparently confused about my role in this struggle for rights.

"Big, big, big, big, big, big, big, ...... Does the mining farm have anything to do with you? He stumbled to me.

It seems that Xiaowei still has a bottom line!

I thought to myself.

He must have thought that I had nothing to do with Dazhifu.

In other words, if I had been there, he should at least not meddle in Dazhifu's mining business.

Because of this conflict of interest, the brotherhood we built up as children is destroyed.

I looked at Xiaowei and couldn't help but be a little moved.

It seems that Xiaowei has a bottom line in life, and he still remembers the good of my childhood.

"It's true that I'm no longer in Dazhifu Company, but it's not as irrelevant as you think, I'm still a shareholder."

I had a showdown with him.

He spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

"You, you see, actually, to tell you the truth, I have long been in the mining business... I just wanted to do it, and I always wanted to do it in the past, just because I heard that you were the boss, so, just... I never came back. ”

"Hello brothers, I'm not either, I'm the boss, just like you, I'm... It's just a shareholding. ”

"When did you come back? When did you first want to get involved in the mining business in my hometown? I tried to find out the ins and outs of Xiaowei.

"I, I'll be back a long time ago."

"From... Since you started mining, there have been county leaders looking for... Find me. ”

"County leaders?" , I glanced at Dazhi, and it seemed that the rumors were true.

"I've never heard that there are leaders in the county who want to participate in this matter?"

I muttered to myself, pretending to be surprised, while squinting at Xiaowei's expression.

The muscles on Xiao Wei's face twitched, grinned, and smiled.

"No... If you don't make money, who will participate? Seeing that there are... There is money to be made, who ... Anyone who fucking wants to participate. ”

He told the truth without any shreds.

It seems that the business of the mining farm has long been coveted by the county leaders, but there is no suitable opportunity to intervene.

"It didn't take long for you to start, I, I'll report it right away... It's prepared, but the county has... There is a department that has not been approved... Reply. So, it didn't work out. He accidentally said it himself, it turned out that it was not because he didn't want to participate in the operation of the mining farm with the ambition of a great country, but because he didn't get the approval at all.

It seems that I think highly of him, driven by huge interests, what is the little childhood friendship that we grew up with bare butts?

"Then why did you get the approval again?" I asked him quietly.

"No... I don't know. He looked at me slyly, with no expression on his face.

"Suddenly... Then I approved it. ”

"Brother, since you... You're still taking shares in Dazhifu, I think let's do it together, this... You can't eat such a big mountain. ”

At this point, we understand his intentions and the course of events.

"You have to have a bottom line to make money, you know?" , Dazhi couldn't help it.

"The mountain is very big, but it can't be over-exploited, besides, Dazhifu has the right of first refusal, so there has to be a first come, first come, right? We do a good business, why do we do it with you? ", he shouted angrily.

"Do you know how much money Dazhifu spent a year to restore the mining ecology? That's nearly a million a year! You come to mine, can you do it? “

"We are a professional mining company, what about you? What are you, just take a set of equipment and start digging? It's. ”

He was agitated, and he said a lot of things like a cannonball, and his eyes widened with rage, as if he wanted to eat the stumbling competitor in front of him.

Xiao Wei looked at Dazhi with a hint of disdain in his expression.

"It's over making money, earning... Money, what bottom line do you need for money? ”

"You can dig, I... Why can't I dig? ”

His words made me worry about the future of the mining farm.

Yes, in order to make money and lose the bottom line, you dig and I dig and he digs, and everyone comes to dig, isn't the whole mine completely messed up?

Xiaowei is very shrewd, it seems that as soon as we started mining, he already wanted to get involved, but he didn't have the right opportunity to implement it.

The investment in the mining farm itself is not large, and the two students of Dazhi and I can start it with two years of capital saving, not to mention the boss Xiaowei, who has been out for more than ten years, has deep wealth and experienced rivers and lakes?

If he wants to participate, we really don't have the capital to compete openly with him.

"Big country, I, I have an idea." , Xiaowei looked at the angry ambition and the silent me for a while, and made a proposal.

"What thoughts?" I looked at him curiously.

"I... I pay for it, buy... Buyout your father-in-law... Firm. He spoke amazingly, but with a lot of courage.

"Say... Say, right now, all the stuff of your mining farm, you ..... How much do you sell? He was calm and relaxed, and his words had the potential to swallow mountains and rivers.

"Dude, have you ever wondered how long this mine can be in business?" , his demeanor as if no one was next to me made me a little angry, and I wanted to hit his arrogance.

"No, it doesn't matter, time is not a question..... Issue. ”

"No, it's okay, let's make a bid." , he did not waver in the slightest, and did not look at me.

His big boss's style made me and Dazhi angry and funny.

He is ignorant and fearless, his lack of expertise is worrying, and how terrible is a businessman's blind optimism about the market.

I'm secretly glad I've been reading for a few more years now.

"Xiaowei, this has nothing to do with money, don't you understand?" , I still want to persuade him.

"You, you can pull it down, and give me the pretend... Pretending to be a calf, not money ... The question of money, also him... Is it a fucking woman's problem? He gave me a contemptuous look, and it seemed that he had completely mastered my hole cards.

He was right, judging from the current situation, this matter is really inextricably linked to women.

I glanced at Xiaowei, who was bent on going his own way, and couldn't help but sigh in my heart.

"It seems that everything has not passed so easily!"

Outside the window, the chaotic workers still gather in groups of three or five, refusing to disperse, and it is clear that everyone is worried about the future of the mining site.

The mine is nestled in the mountains, in silence.

It seems to have nothing to do with the man-made chaos in front of us.
