Dad Li obviously didn't believe what Li Xiucheng said. People in this era believe that power is more powerful than money.
But Li's father didn't say anything. Seeing that Li Xiucheng was living a happy life and returning home in such fine clothes, Li's father was satisfied.
"Hey, okay! You can do your best on your own. If it doesn't work, come back. We still have two acres of fertile land at home to keep you fed."
The father and son kept talking to each other, and after talking about the current situation, there was nothing much to say.
The two of them sat around the stove, staring out the door in a daze.
After the family finished eating, Li Xiucheng left Duoduo and Xiaomeng at home and drove to the county to find Hu Changan and the others.
Today I'm going to meet that local coward who clings to the land and refuses to move.
"elder brother!"
Hu Changan was very excited when he saw Li Xiucheng, so he rushed up and hugged Li Xiucheng.
During this period of time traveling in Changning, Hu Changan deeply felt that it was not easy to deal with these people, and his admiration and miss for Li Xiucheng simply grew day by day.
"What are you doing! What are you doing!"
"Let go of your brother. We haven't seen him for two months. Are you exaggerating?"
Li Xiucheng's dislike was also very obvious, and he pushed Hu Changan far away.
"Xiao Hu has been having a hard time recently, and I can't help him much."
Lu Pingnan stood aside and scratched his head in embarrassment.
He doesn't understand Changning's dialect very well, and he's not familiar with the place, so Hu Changan is almost always responsible for the bluestone matter.
What Lu Pingnan did was to urge the small workshops in the designated area to relocate after the agreement was signed to prevent illegal mining and the like.
As a result, I encountered a tough problem and refused to leave.
Therefore, Lu Pingnan still blamed himself, feeling that he had not completed the tasks assigned by Li Xiucheng.
"Tell me what's going on in detail."
Li Xiucheng frowned slightly, his expression serious.
"Oh, this is really troublesome."
Hu Changan sighed, looking helpless.
"The news that our billiard table is made of Changning stone has spread, and now many foreign businessmen have come to Changning to buy stone."
"Someone is eyeing the bluestone slab in Changning."
"Zhao Zhiyuan was originally a little hooligan, but later his sister married a divorced official and became a gangster."
"Last year, his brother-in-law was promoted and became the mayor of Wuhu City. He became even more impressive."
"Relying on this relationship, I always walk sideways to the Changning County Magistrate's Office."
"This bluestone was originally developed for him."
"Thankfully you called me back early. I have been doing acquisitions before, and I have a good relationship with the quarry workers here. They informed me of the news."
"I signed the contract one step ahead. By the time the boss said hello, we had signed the contract and they couldn't go back on it."
"Zhao Zhiyuan started to act badly and wanted to force us back in this way."
"Now the government is not very cooperative, which makes it very difficult for us to do it."
Hu Changan told Li Xiucheng everything that happened during this period.
As Dad Li said, if you have no money, no power, and no ability, your business will be taken away by others.
But Li Xiucheng was not a pushover, and it was impossible to force him back.
"So that's it. Then take me to see the factory area first."
Li Xiucheng thought for a moment and asked Hu Changan and the others to take them to the stone factory first.
For ordinary ruffians, this would be easy to solve, either by giving money or using power to exert pressure, but Zhao Zhiyuan's situation is indeed a bit special.
We still have to go and explore to find out how to solve this matter.
Immediately, Li Xiucheng led everyone and rushed straight to the stone factory.
The stone factory is located in the eastern suburbs of Changning County. Behind the factory is a hill with the best bluestone quality in Changning.
This area was all contracted by Li Xiucheng and others for them to mine the bluestone slabs needed to make billiard tables.
Because Hu Changan was pressed for time every time he came here before, the factory he built was relatively simple, just made of iron sheds.
Zhao Zhiyuan's workshop is located behind the mountain. Although transportation is not as convenient as Li Xiucheng's stone factory, mining is faster and easier.
So Lu Pingnan had nothing to do with them every time.
Li Xiucheng feels that the current situation is not optimistic.
Due to time constraints, the stone factory was built crudely, which posed potential risks to environmental protection, fire protection, safety, etc.
Stone mining is inherently an extremely dangerous matter, although inspections are not strict in this era.
However, as illegal mining and mining accidents continue to occur in various places, in a few years, the country will begin to unify regulations and shut down many non-compliant mines.
There should be some buzz now.
At present, Hu Changan has only temporarily stabilized the county government's side, allowing them to stand neutrally and watch the two parties fight.
Or once Zhao Zhiyuan gets impatient and the pressure from above is transmitted, the county government can just find any hidden dangers in production safety, non-standard environmental emissions, etc., and shut it down for rectification.
Even if the contract cannot really be invalidated, it will still annoy you to death and prevent you from producing well, and then the gain will outweigh the loss.
This matter needs to be handled well, otherwise there will really be big problems.
“The stone factory can’t do this!”
Li Xiucheng looked at the stone factory inside and out and felt that this would definitely not work. Even if others didn't come to check, it would be bad if an accident happened.
"Re-regulate the factory area, especially separate each area. The stacking of stones, the stacking of finished products, and the discharge of sewage must all be regulated."
"The road used to transport stone materials also needs to be hardened, otherwise it will be too easy to cause accidents on rainy days."
…..
After all, Hu Changan is still too young and has little experience in managing a factory. There is no problem in purchasing bluestone slabs. It is indeed too difficult for him to manage a stone factory well.
Li Xiucheng realized some mistakes he had made before. If it weren't for Zhao Zhiyuan's accident, he might not be aware of these problems now.
Li Xiucheng pointed out the very serious problems of the stone factory and asked Hu Changan and the others to arrange rectifications immediately.
If these problems are not rectified, it will be like a sword hanging over the head, which may fall at any time, causing irreversible consequences.
Li Xiucheng asked Hu Changan and Lu Pingnan to take him to Zhao Zhiyuan's place.
Both Hu Changan and Lu Pingnan seemed a little depressed.
"Chang'an, Brother Lu, this matter is not your problem. It's my lack of consideration. I should have come back to take a look. You have never taken care of the factory. I let you do this by yourself. It's me who doesn't care about it." It’s wrong.”
