The real estate industry has developed rapidly since 1999, and an investment speculation frenzy occurred in 2001.
Beginning in 2003, real estate entered a period of macro-control, and land kings appeared frequently. In 2004, housing prices rose sharply, and continued to rise until about 2007. Driven by the market and real estate speculators, it has already ushered in a boom.
The rising housing prices have caused the construction-related industries to rise, and the prices of building materials have been rising even more.
Among the large and small sandfields around Shencheng, except for those illegally excavated sandfields, the cost of the Zhao family's sandfield should be the lowest, because his family's sandfield was obtained through Zhao Fengnian saving people, and others in order to get it. When it comes to mining licenses or dredging procedures, I don’t know how many gifts I have to give or how many people I need to ask for.
Since there was no initial investment, Zhao Fengnian was able to win the supply contract for a large construction site in Heping at a price significantly lower than the market price.
On the afternoon of the day when Yang Dong was taken away, the Zhao family and his son became busy. Truckloads of river sand began to be transported back to the sand field from the sand mining point, where they were cleaned and screened through a sand washing machine, and then sent to the stockyard.
The 10,000 cubic meters of yellow sand required at the Heping construction site were transported by dump trucks with four front and eight rear trucks. It took about a hundred trucks. With the two wheel bucket sand washing machines at full power, the fleet transporting sand also began to move. People lined up at the sand field to pull away the processed sand.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhao Tai pushed open the door and walked into the battlefield nursing room. After taking off his military coat, he said to Zhao Fengnian who was standing by the stove: "Dad, it's already so late. Don't stay here. Go home and sleep." , I’m watching here!”
"This is the first time our factory is working on such a big project. I won't feel relieved if I don't personally watch it! Let's spend the night here tonight!"
Zhao Fengnian put on cotton gloves, picked up an aluminum lunch box that was heated on the stove, and placed it on the table next to Zhao Tai: "I made the millet porridge for you. If you have a bad stomach, drink some while it's hot!"
Zhao Tai grinned: "How old am I, and you still coax me like a child!"
"Even if you are eighty years old this year, as long as I live, aren't you still a child?"
Zhao Fengnian looked at Zhao Tai dotingly: "When this batch of goods is finished, our family will be completely fine. Let me introduce someone to you! Don't think that I don't know. You go to the district all day long." You're running just to hang out with those libertines in karaoke bars and bathing houses! If you really ruin your reputation, who will be willing to marry their daughter to you in the future?"
"Oh, don't listen to the nonsense of people outside. When did I start talking nonsense!"
Zhao Tai interrupted Zhao Fengnian impatiently and quickly changed the topic: "How many tons of sand did we produce today?"
Seeing that his son was paying attention to business matters, Zhao Fengnian responded happily: "Our two machines can produce 4,000 tons of sand in eight hours. If we work until tomorrow morning, we can produce more than 10,000 tons. In addition, The 3,000 tons stored in the factory are just enough for 10,000 square meters."
Zhao Tai responded while drinking millet porridge: "Then let me go to the construction site tomorrow morning! It is estimated that all the sand here will be delivered before noon. I will treat the person in charge of the construction site to a meal and pay the money by the way. That’s it, they just opened the business, so they should have enough budget!”
Zhao Fengnian nodded: "You can go and meet, but you must control your temper and be polite to others. After all, you will have to beg others in the future!"
"I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore, can I still fight with people everywhere?"
Zhao Tai finished the porridge in his lunch box and picked up his military coat again: "I'm going to keep an eye on the production. You should rest early!"
…
The next morning.
As two trucks transported the mined river sand to the sand field, the worker in charge of production pushed the door into the nursing room and said to Zhao Tai: "Little boss, we have all the raw materials here, and the excavator is also ready." After driving back to the battlefield, you can tell the truck to come and take it away!"
"Okay, you all have worked hard! Take this money, go to the breakfast shop in the town to buy some steamed buns, soy milk, etc., and come back and give it to the workers and drivers!"
Zhao Tai handed the two hundred yuan to the worker, and then looked at Zhao Fengnian: "Dad, keep an eye on the battlefield, I'm going to the construction site!"
Zhao Fengnian didn't sleep all night and nodded with swollen cheeks: "Okay, pay attention to safety on the road and drive slowly!"
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Zhao Tai wiped his face with a wet wipe, then picked up his handbag and drove away in the Audi A4.
At a fork in the road outside the construction site, Jin Rui was sitting in a chartered black taxi. He saw the Audi passing in front of him and dialed Lu Tao's phone number: "Brother Tao, there is something going on here on the battlefield. Zhao Fengnian and his son are driving. He left, and the hook machine has also returned, so it seems that the mining should be over."
Lu Tao, who had just woken up, cleared his throat: "I understand, are there still cars on the battlefield?"
Jin Rui nodded: "We're walking! And the machine hasn't stopped, and there's still a lot of sand in the stockyard!"
Lu Tao said with a sonorous voice: "Inform our people to seal the battlefield! Zhao Fengnian processed it all night, and the diesel and electricity bills were not small. Let him keep all the processed sand at home. From now on , not even a grain of sand is allowed to go out!"
…
An hour later, Zhao Tai drove to the construction site in Heping District, parked the car in front of a row of prefabricated houses, walked to the door of the project manager's office with ease, pushed the door and entered the house, and followed a man in his early forties inside. The middle-aged man said hello: "Hello, Mr. Yu!"
When the middle-aged man saw Zhao Tai, he nodded unnaturally: "Ah, Xiao Zhao is here."
"Mr. Yu, the 10,000 tons of sand you need this time have been processed in our factory and will be piled up for you at the construction site by evening at the latest!"
Zhao Tai took out the Zhonghua in his bag and handed one to Mr. Yu: "Are you free tonight? I'll take you to the West Tower to play around. My friend opened a karaoke bar there, and the little girl in the venue They are all part-time art school students, and they are doing fierce splits. They are definitely a brand new version that you have never seen before!"
Mr. Yu smiled awkwardly: "Xiao Zhao, let's not talk about this for now. I have something to talk to you about."
Zhao Tai frowned when he saw Mr. Yu's expression: "Mr. Yu, what's making you so embarrassed? Is there a problem with the payment? Your construction site has just opened, so the budget should be sufficient, right? This batch of mine is The price of sand is the lowest in Shencheng..."
"You misunderstood. It's not about the payment, but about a few friends who want to see you."
Mr. Yu took a deep breath: "You also know that what we do in engineering is to be harmonious and make money. We can't afford to offend anyone, so if they come, I can't stop them! As long as you can coordinate their relationship Okay, our cooperation can still continue."
Zhao Tai was confused: "Friend? What friend?"
"Bang!"
At this moment, the door to Mr. Yu's office was violently pushed open, and then several burly young men walked into the room together.
Among the people, the first young man with a Tissot watch and a scorpion tattooed on his tiger's mouth looked at Zhao Tai with a fierce look: "Little B, is the sand from this construction site given to you?"
Zhao Tai heard the young man's mouth growling and stood up with a cold face: "This morning, you went out without brushing your teeth? Do we know each other? Are you just cursing here?"
"Fuck you! River fish also want to jump over the dragon gate, they are not afraid of being beaten to death by the waves!"
When the young man saw Zhao Tai retort, he reached out and took out the stick in his pocket: "Dog Basket, today I not only scolded you, but I also fucking beat you! Trample him to death!"
"Hooraa!"
Hearing this, the others immediately swarmed up and surrounded Zhao Tai.
"Fuck you! I'm not a trampoline. You can step on it if you want!"
Zhao Tai was a dazed young man himself. When he saw five or six young men rushing towards him, instead of being afraid, he picked up the glass ashtray on the coffee table and jumped on the coffee table.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and the ashtray in Zhao Tai's hand hit the opponent's head first. As the opponent fell, blood dropped all over the ceiling.
