Chapter 496: Use a little means to change the direction of development
Practice is the only criterion for testing truth.
Although the sapper shovel is not a plowshare, the plough is indeed not very easy to use, but the material of the sapper shovel is much better than the ordinary iron plow, and the pickup is also stronger than the ox, and the effect is not bad.
The barrier was set, diesel fuel was sprinkled, a fire was lit, and thick black smoke began to fill all around.
Everyone ran to the upwind to avoid it, there was diesel as fuel, the fire was very fierce at first, but the diesel was quickly burned out, and the rest was cow dung, branches, fallen leaves, etc., especially cow dung, which was very resistant to burning.
It's not for nothing that nomads love to raise cattle.
This fire burned for more than an hour, and when it was completely extinguished, I felt a little hot when I reached out and touched the ground.
At this moment, any snakes, insects, rats and ants are all dead, and even the weed seeds are roasted.
You Congyun led people into the venue to check, and Wang Zhen followed from behind, "How is it?" ”
"Now the machinery is not complete, more labor is needed, the stones must be cleared, the land must be leveled, it is best to get a few trucks of lime to sprinkle on the ground, and then turn the soil over, completely cut off the possibility of snakes and insects next year."
"You decide." Wang Zhen said with a smile: "People, Najishao's unique thing, the labor here is cheap, not necessarily more expensive than machinery, just right, let Solari find someone they know to work." ”
You Congyun smiled and nodded, with Solari's group of locals who were familiar with the situation, many things would be much easier to advance.
Not to mention anything else, they had brought everything they had eaten from Juba, and last afternoon, Wang Zhen had arranged for two locals, Sal and Humad, to buy a slaughtered cow and come back.
……
Once the camp was chosen, things moved faster.
After recruiting more than 100 local natives, Wang Zhen sent 10 Dinka soldiers to follow the guards, and You Congyun began to arrange people to clean up the ground and prepare to build a color steel house.
In Wang Zhen's opinion, this is a temporary camp, after all, it is a color steel house, but in Nansu, this color steel house camp is already very luxurious.
The standard camp of 200 people needs a lot of building materials, and after the camp, whether it is a cement factory or something else, the number of building materials, equipment, and daily necessities will become larger and larger.
Wang Zhen first needed to build a huge warehouse on the Nagishot side to use as a transit station, which required a large piece of land.
"Our house?" Arian thought for a while and said, "You don't need to buy land, you want to build a house, and you can find a vacant land and build it casually." ”
"You mean I can pick a piece of land and build a warehouse?" Wang Zhen raised an eyebrow.
"If it's that big...... Arian looked at Solari next to him, and someone scratched his head, "It should be okay, but those big tribes or gangs might come looking for trouble." ”
Wang Zhen touched his nose amusedly, at first he was going to ask the mayor to buy land directly, but when he asked, he found out that the mayor and the so-called town government were decorations.
It was a few people who were directly arranged by the big tribes, and these people still had to listen to the tribal chiefs and elders.
Where is there a little bit of what modern society looks like!
Now, there are two ways in front of Wang Zhen, directly occupy the land, and wait for those tribes and gangs to come to the door, or go to the local big tribe to buy it for money.
"It's better to buy it, this kind of broken land is not worth much." You Congyun said beside him.
Wang Zhen didn't speak, things are not so simple.
After thinking about it, Wang Zhen opened the suitcase and took out a wad of money to throw it directly to Arian.
A frightened stack of green bills arose from his stool and scrambled to catch it.
Looking down, the smell of ink on the banknote fills the tip of the nose, which makes people feel intoxicated, but looking at the banknote, he is a little confused, this is the dollar?
100 yuan bills, they didn't see it at all!
"I remember you as the largest tribe in the region, the people of Wowota." Wang Zhen pointed to the wad of banknotes and said, "This is 10,000 dollars, you send it to the chief of your tribe, and say that I will build a big warehouse here." ”
Since there is no serious government, Wang Zhen is too lazy to say whether to buy or rent, it makes no sense.
"Huh? Ten thousand! Arian's face was full of shock, and his throat was stirring, he had never seen so much money.
"Abed, arrange for someone to come with him." Wang Zhen greeted.
"What are you?" Watching a few people leave, You Congyun asked with some puzzlement.
"Express your attitude and test it." Wang Zhen didn't explain much.
It's inconvenient for him to come to the door, if the other party doesn't agree, don't talk about the face problem, then there is no room for maneuver, recruiting so many locals, the purpose is to have a communication channel.
……
"What do you mean by this alien guy?" Looking at the $10,000 on the table, an elder of the Wowoda tribe frowned and said.
"It doesn't matter what he means, it's not worth anything, but 10,000 dollars is definitely not good, I have inquired in the past few days, the leader of those people is a Chinese, very rich, I think we can ask for more." Another elder said.
"What if he doesn't leave here?"
"They have carved out a piece of land in the mountains, what does it matter to us whether they can walk or not, whatever he does, he has to hire local people, and if he is not obedient, then no one will be allowed to work with him."
"Then ask him for more money."
"We agreed, what about the other tribes?"
"That's his own business."
……
"Heh, he's fucking greedy." Wang Zhen sneered, do you have such a big measure?
He took out 30,000 US dollars again, divided Wang Zhen into six parts, and called out to Solari, "The other six tribes, each of you goes to one, send 5,000 US dollars, and say that Wowoda received 10,000 US dollars, and the other tribes collected 5,000 US dollars, and they welcomed us to stay in Najishot, and the more people who came outside, the more money everyone could earn." ”
Solari: Huh? How did the people of the Wowota tribe suddenly become so talkative?
Of course, Wang Zhen won't explain it to them, so you just say that the people of Wowoda confiscated the money!
Wang Zhen is sure that these natives will not be able to find the problem for a while, and when they fully communicate with each other, then they will have to consider whether it is worth turning against Wang Zhen for this little problem!
……
You Congyun is already busy, the mountainous side needs to level the land, and the Najishot side will also start to build a color steel house.
There are at least 10 rooms here that can accommodate 40 people, and in the future, this warehouse will store a lot of supplies, and if you want to ensure safety on this land, you need to have enough deterrent security.
Besides, it's not just a warehouse, it's also their office in Najisaut.
On the other side of the mountain, the first batch of 20 houses and 80 people will be built, and the exploration team and the Abeds will be settled.
Wang Zhen had already called Atul and Kazimi, who were on vacation in Iraq, and asked them to bring their equipment and a passenger plane to fly over.
There is a need for additional manpower.
……
Everyone on Najishot's side was busy, and Wang Zhen naturally would not be idle, so he called Jiajia and asked Jiajia to buy a lot of gifts and go to a place in Baijing to visit a retired old cadre.
The last time he expanded Bayerwanai, Wang Zhentuo Laohou consulted with a few retired veteran cadres who had engaged in a 'big factory' in China.
This time, starting all over again, Wang Zhen was a little undecided, so he still had to consult these experienced old men.
Jiajia is beautiful and will come to things, although she has never seen it before, but she came to the door with a gift, and she was warmly welcomed by Wu Yuelin and his wife.
Wu Yuelin, 72 years old, worked in Liaodong when he was young, when the old industrial zone in Northeast China was at its most glorious, the factory had everything, its own hydropower station, hospitals, schools, and waterworks...... A factory can grow into a town.
The old couple has long since retired, the children are not young, they have already started a family, Baijing is too big, it is difficult to go out, and there may not be time to come back once in ten days and half a month.
"Oh, Xiao Wang asked you to come, isn't he in Iraq, his name is Bairwanai, and I also made him a design drawing, haha, how did it go?" Wu Yuelin asked with a smile.
"Uh, my brother is going to Nansu now......" Jiajia thought for a moment and told the truth.
"Huh, Americans, no fucking good guys!" Wu Yuelin drooped his face, he didn't care about anything else, but the city he designed was gone just at the beginning, which made the old man very angry, "Those Arabs are also stupid, guerrillas don't understand, those American devils don't ...... at all"
"Okay, you're an old immortal, it's all in the past, and the girl didn't come to listen to you complain this time." Wu Yuelin's wife scolded the old man back with a word, "Come, girl, drink water, don't worry about this old guy, what's the matter with this time?" ”
"It's still a matter of building a city, my brother is going to start again in Nansu......"
"Young man, ambitious!" Wu Yuelin immediately came to his senses, and he didn't think about other issues, he just wanted to show what he had learned.
Even the wife next to me is also interested.
People, when they are young, they always like to be lazy, but when they are old, they can't be idle, and they always want to find something to do.
The old man, what he is most afraid of is that he is useless......
Taking advantage of the happiness of the two old men, Jiajia called Wang Zhen with a phone call.
"In the past, it must have been an old kiln, burning cement directly, and the output was a little lower, but now the times are different......"
"I definitely don't recommend that you start a steel mill now, nonsense, steel industry, with the word 'industry', what does it mean, this is an industry, if you don't make an industry, you can't see the benefits at all, I don't know how much money you have, but I know to build a small steel industry chain from scratch, don't think about it without billions!"
"Just make a cement plant, this belongs to the basic building materials, all walks of life have to use, the consumption is large, there is no need to be afraid of not being able to sell!"
"Ordinary cement is only 350-400 yuan a ton, cement is not like steel, it is impossible to transport it from the domestic long distance, not to mention the problem of rain and drying, the freight is more expensive than cement!"
"We have a lot of projects in Africa, whose cement is not to buy!"
"I'll tell you, just do the cement factory, this thing has few people, low technical content, and when you have a foundation for the cement factory, then think about the steel plant, when the miners or everything are almost cultivated, you can directly turn it over, and you can save most of the things."
Wu Yuelin crackled and gave Wang Zhen an analysis, during which his wife also interjected a few words, "No matter what the field, you have to start from the basics, there are a lot of workers needed, so many people can't all live in color steel houses, what about supporting living facilities, whether to build roads for transportation, you can't rely on imports of cement." ”
The two of them gave Wang Zhen a simple calculation, if they went directly to the steel plant, the cement that would need to be consumed would be at least more than 100,000 tons, which sounds like a lot, but it is not much.
Wang Zhen: Just work in the cement factory?
Wu Yuelin: Just do the cement factory! (End of chapter)
