Dashan Makes a Living 1984

Li Yali went to the back room, took out the footbath, filled it with hot water, and brought it to Wang Tianxiao's feet.

"Come on, let's burn your feet. Get a good night's sleep after you burn the kang. Something has happened, so you can only find a way to solve it. Worrying too much won't help."

As she said that, she was going to help Wang Tianxiao take off her shoes.

Wang Tianxiao quickly sat up and motioned for himself to take off.

He has no bad habit of letting his wife wait on him.

"It's okay, I'm your wife, it's not a strange thing to wait for you to wash your feet." Li Yali squatted on the ground, looked up at her husband, and said with a smile.

Wang Tianxiao shook his head.

"I can come by myself. You are my wife, not my maid. I have never done this kind of thing before, and I will never do it in the future... Unless, one day, I am too old to move, then I will trouble you .”

"What are you talking about, you are just in your early twenties, and you are thinking about getting old. You are thinking too far ahead." Li Yali stood up and sat back on the kang, "Then wash it yourself, I want you to enjoy the master's You don't appreciate the treatment."

"How dare I accept your service," Wang Tianxiao stretched out his hand and pulled his wife into his arms, and said softly, "That will shorten my life."

"Nonsense again."

Wang Tianxiao took off his socks, soaked his feet in the water, turned to look at his child, and the depression in his heart gradually eased a lot.

Wang Tianren just gave him a negative teaching material.

"Actually, when I came back, I saw the third child coming back at the entrance of the alleyway, drunk and drunk, I wanted to go up and kick him a few times."

"Then you didn't kick, did you?"

"Um."

"Why?"

"I don't think it's necessary," Wang Tianxiao smiled faintly, looking at his wife's gentle eyes under the oil lamp, "I suddenly felt that he is really a pitiful person."

"Well. If a person loses his moral conscience, he actually loses his own attributes as a human being. He is pitiful."

Wang Tianxiao suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Tianxiao hesitated, but still said sullenly: "I just feel uncomfortable all the time."

"Would you like to tell me?"

Wang Tianxiao looked sideways at his wife, hesitated, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't want to be a very big-hearted person."

Li Yali was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood what Wang Tianxiao meant, and smiled.

"Isn't that how people are? Sometimes thinking and doing are two different things. If everyone can act and think in exactly the same way, then the world will become very rigid."

Wang Tianxiao also smiled.

The wife deliberately shifted the topic to another level, in fact, to comfort him.

Let him not cause more discomfort because of this kindness beyond the original plan.

It's not easy being a good person.

But it is also not an easy thing to be a bad person with all your heart.

All I can say is, do something.

"The shopkeeper's..."

"Um?"

"No matter what, I support you. On the contrary, it is because you are like this that I think you are a person of flesh and blood. I like it very much."

"Really, didn't you comfort me?"

"Well, really." Li Yali said with her head down.

Wang Tianxiao nodded and grinned, "I like myself quite like this."

His entangled thoughts have been completely swept away.

My heart became open-minded again.

the next day.

Wang Tianxiao saw the hospital in the morning, went through the transfer procedures in advance, went to the doctor to get the letter of introduction, and coaxed the child to eat something.

At eight o'clock, the fourth couple brought Tian'er.

Originally, Wang Tianxiao was thinking that they would go to Lancheng, so he could put Tian'er in his mother Zhang Yufeng's place to watch temporarily, but Tian'er was also young, had never left his parents, and was unwilling to stay at home alone, so he had to Take it with you.

Only in this way, it will be much more inconvenient for the two of them to bring two children.

After a while, Wang Tianzhong also came over.

Several people sent Wang Tianyi, his wife and the child to the car to Lancheng. Hongwei shrank into a ball, his eyes became a little dull, and the eyes of the three-year-old child already had a bit of vicissitudes.

"Fourth, you go to Lancheng, first go find your sister and brother-in-law, they are familiar with Lancheng, and take you there together. When you get there, be careful everywhere, and take care of your children as the premise. For other things, come back Let's discuss it again."

"Well, I see, second brother."

Wang Tianzhong and Zhang Yufeng also explained some things to each other.

Wang Tianxiao retreated behind the crowd, he looked around, thought that the third child came back last night, maybe he could see him today, but after searching for a long time, he didn't see anyone.

It seems that he really doesn't want to care about this child anymore.

Wang Tianxiao's last hope for this younger brother who was only in name was completely destroyed.

He swore he would never forgive him.

Wang Tianxiao actually wanted to discuss it with his elder brother, and if it didn't work out, he would adopt the child under his elder brother's name, which would be regarded as a door opener.

After a hundred years in the future, I can help my eldest brother take photos of his death, burn incense and so on.

Anyway, the third child is like this, and he can't continue to take care of the child. The child has no parents, and it is difficult to live.

But this matter must wait until the child is cured.

Now that he is sickly, it is estimated that the eldest brother agrees, and the sister-in-law will not agree either.

People are very realistic.

Isn't everyone thinking of others like Wang Tianxiao?

After sending away the fourth couple and bringing up their children, Wang Tianzhong asked his mother to stay at his house, so Wang Tianxiao said goodbye to him and came to Zhang Wenyuan.

The two made an appointment, and if there were no accidents, they would meet every three days to exchange opinions with each other, see the similarities and differences of ideas, learn from the strengths, and get rid of the bad things.

Although Wang Tianxiao has a vision for the future, he does not understand the actual situation as well as Zhang Wenyuan.

After all, Zhang Wenyuan is a person who rose up in this era, and he has been familiar with some potential rules since he was a child, which is equivalent to implementing Wang Tianxiao's ideas in a very good way.

Wang Tianxiao is like a military adviser, and Zhang Wenyuan is like a marshal.

No matter how big the strategy proposed by the military division is, it still needs the marshal to arrange troops to implement it in place.

On the second floor of the hotel, Wang Tianxiao found that the original office had been turned into a warehouse. Just as he was curious, he saw an aunt who was doing sanitation, and hurriedly stopped her to ask what was going on, only to learn that Zhang Wenyuan had moved to the top floor.

Good guy, I was on the second floor three days ago, now I'm on the top floor, it's all in one step.

He walked up the stairs two more floors to the fifth floor.

The hotel has a total of five floors, but because of the special architecture, the ground floor at the back must go up another staircase.

It turned out that ordinary people did not welcome it.

Zhang Wenyuan was standing in front of the window looking out, with his back turned to the direction of the door, looking engrossed.

He didn't notice when Wang Tianxiao came in.

It was only when Wang Tianxiao walked behind him that he suddenly woke up. He turned around and saw that it was Wang Tianxiao, and said with a smile, "Old Wang, why don't you make any noise when you walk?"

"What are you looking at?" Wang Tianxiao also walked to the place next to him, followed his gaze and looked out the window.

A small, uneven building complex.

In this city, there are very few buildings as tall as the Wenyuan Hotel, that is, the state-owned department stores and other buildings are a few taller, and the others are at most two or three floors.

There are more floors. Looking down from the fifth floor, it looks like tofu blocks and building blocks placed on the ground one by one.

Wang Tianxiao once overlooked the magic city from the Oriental Pearl Tower, so when he returned to this era, standing on the fifth floor and looking at the city, he didn't think it looked like a city at all. Many villages in later generations were better developed than this one.

If you think about it carefully, the real estate infrastructure industry has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few decades.

It's no wonder that people like Zhang Wenyuan can soar into the sky against this background.

It is truly a hero of the times.

If you don't appear on the stage, other people will appear on the stage. The wheel of history is rolling forward. There are always some people who just sit in the car and become the driver.

"Old Wang, look at this city." Zhang Wenyuan pointed to the small buildings outside the window. The northwest wind was strong, and many buildings were old. They looked gray and gave off a very depressed and dilapidated atmosphere.

"How do you feel?"

Wang Tianxiao smiled, "Isn't this the city we live in? What kind of impression does Mr. Zhang want?"

"Maybe all of them."

Zhang Wenyuan smiled, walked back to the sofa and sat down.

Wang Tianxiao followed suit and sat down, watching Zhang Wenyuan fiddle with the tea set on the table.

This seems to be the habit of rich people or bosses. No matter what they used to do, once they became bosses, they learned to make tea.

Wang Tianxiao didn't like drinking tea either.

Tea, like wine, is dispensable in his eyes.

It is a part of people's entertainment.

As for those who are addicted to wine or tea, Wang Tianxiao feels that he and himself are two dimensions of life.

They seem to be in the same world, but they can't really understand each other's happiness.

Fortunately, he could actually see that Zhang Wenyuan was not that kind of person.

His method of making tea is very unskilled, even rough.

"Come, taste the taste of this tea, the best Biluochun."

Wang Tianxiao took the small tea bowl and drank it in one gulp. The taste of the tea was very weak, not bad, but not delicious either. It was just like ordinary life of many people.

"Ha, you're still a cow drinker."

Zhang Wenyuan watched Wang Tianxiao drink the teacup in one gulp, couldn't help laughing, and helped him add it again, while he picked up the teacup lightly and took a sip.

"Mr. Zhang, is he trying to be a refined person?"

"It's not elegant, it's about keeping pace with the times. It's you who told me that people can't stay in the past forever."

"Too."

Wang Tianxiao smiled and leaned tiredly on the sofa.

Take a deep breath.

"What's the matter, lack of energy, this is not like your usual appearance." Zhang Wenyuan laughed.

"What am I always like?"

"Well... how should I put it?" Zhang Wenyuan thought for a while, and smiled, "I can't say exactly, but it must be in the state of being always full of energy and energy. The way you are now, it seems that your strength is being suppressed by others. Half of it was taken away, and it was completely out of shape."

Wang Tianxiao nodded.

"Recently, I did encounter some things. It's all about the family's parents. Mr. Zhang's family is all decent people, so I won't have such troubles. I didn't expect it to be so obvious that you could see through it at a glance."

Zhang Wenyuan didn't continue to talk about this topic, but just smiled wryly: "Everyone has this kind of disaster, and every family has its own hard-to-read scriptures. You think that families like ours seem to have no problems, but in fact, you don't know. Just know."

He sighed, "In fact, all families are the same. If there are fewer people, it's okay to talk, but if there are too many people, there will always be some relationships where the distribution of benefits is uneven. As long as there are people, there will be conflicts. If there are too many people, conflicts will arise." will be divided into several categories.

And people, because of different contradictions, stand in different positions. After a long time, although we all live under the same roof and even have some connections, but in the bottom of our hearts, there is not much emotion, and each other is just a fetter of interests. "

Wang Tianxiao also understood this statement and nodded.

"Let's not talk about it. As you said, there are always more or less such problems in the family. Since your family can't avoid it, I will naturally fall into it."

"Well, it will be fine slowly."

"How's the brickwork going?"

"It has reached a critical stage. The problem now is that the leaders of your Qingquan Town have a relatively strong appetite, and the price has not yet been negotiated. We didn't plan to take it for about three to five million yuan. Now, according to several rounds of discussions, they want at least sixty. Wan, there doesn't seem to be much room to go down."

"Six hundred thousand?"

Wang Tianxiao was thinking about the operating profit of the brick and tile factory.

and future development space.

He felt that it was similar, and he had no way to tell Zhang Wenyuan that in the future, the brick and tile factory would make a lot of money every day, and the team pulling bricks could line up for several kilometers to pull bricks.

600,000, it is actually very easy to earn it back.

This brick and tile factory started in 1986 and has been around for almost two thousand years. It is still the largest taxpayer in the town, which shows how good the benefits are.

If it wasn't for his lack of ability and energy to manage the enterprise, he would have wanted to do this himself.

"Old Wang?"

Zhang Wenyuan didn't understand why Wang Tianxiao was silent suddenly.

"Six hundred thousand, can you take it out?"

"Ah...it's no problem to get it. I can still borrow money if I don't have cash. The main reason is...do you think that broken factory is really worth 600,000 yuan?"

"I think it's worth it."

"Why, can you give me a convincing reason. I went in and looked at the factory. It's just some old machines and some facilities. It should not cost 600,000 yuan to rebuild these things now. Bar."

"Well, it's not necessary, but I still think he's worth it."

Zhang Wenyuan smiled.

"I listen to what you say."

Wang Tianxiao thought about it, but still didn't say anything too exaggerated.

"First of all, you have to understand that exclusive business and competition are two different concepts..."

"Of course I understand that."

"It's good to understand, so what we value is not the foundation of this brick and tile factory, but that it is the only brick and tile factory in our Qingquan Town. Bricks and tiles are inherently heavy. The cost of delivery will be high, and the price will increase. Therefore, people are used to buying directly from the local, you know this situation.”

"I understand this. If you buy bricks from other places, the bricks may be cheaper, but if the freight is included, the head is heavier than the body."

"That's it. So, as long as you buy this factory, for a long time, the factory will be the only one in Qingquan Town. If people want to use bricks, don't they all come here to buy them?"

"That's true, but since we can take this share, why doesn't there be a second one? If the business is good, they can build another brick and tile factory."

"What are you thinking, there is no such possibility."

"Why?" Zhang Wenyuan felt that when he was talking to Wang Tianxiao, sometimes he couldn't keep up with his rhythm at all, as if he was a senior and his big boss was a beginner.

But he is obviously a rich man worth millions, but the real identity of the person in front of him is just an ordinary forest ranger.

"Because there is no re-established market, and there are no realistic conditions."

"Tell me in detail."

"Mr. Zhang, think about it. Things like brick and tile factories are different from ordinary small restaurants. Restaurants are places where people spend their daily lives, so people keep coming in and people going out. As long as you do well, you can always survive. It is because restaurants have a huge market.

But in brick and tile factories, there are only a few people who need bricks and tiles. One brick and tile factory can still make money, but another one can be built. The two brick and tile factories will form a competitive relationship, right? How can they guarantee that they will definitely do so? Competed with us, after all, by the time they are established, if we do well, the reputation will have already been made. "

"It makes sense, there is a reason why one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."

"Well, it can also be compared like this. There is only so much food on the mountain. If there are two tigers at the same time, the food will be consumed quickly. In the end, if there is no food to eat, both tigers will starve to death."

"Is this vicious competition?"

"This can't be called vicious competition. It's actually benign. It's just that the market is too small and the volume is not enough to accommodate two or more competitors at the same time."

"Well, you go on."

"In addition to the market not allowing it, the geographical environment also does not allow it."

"So what?"

"Think about it, what does this brick and tile factory need for production?"

"loess?"

"anything else?"

"? Anyone else?"

Wang Tianxiao shook his head and said with a smile, "There is still water."

"water?"

Zhang Wenyuan didn't quite understand. After all, he had never engaged in industry, and the scale of the prefabrication factory was only a small one, and it couldn't keep up with the scale of the brick and tile factory.

"Yes, water. Water is the blood of industry. Without water, there is almost no way to develop any industry." Seeing that Zhang Wenyuan didn't understand much, Wang Tianxiao patiently explained to him:

"Mr. Zhang, you need to know that industrial operations generally require raw materials, labor, power and other conditions, right? What role does water play in it? Water is like the blood that connects the entire industry. It can act as power and is also a part of materials. , and more importantly, without water, there is no way to exchange heat and cold..."

Zhang Wenyuan looked at Wang Tianxiao talking in surprise.

He didn't understand what was going on with the man in front of him.

Where did he learn this knowledge? It sounds obvious.

It shouldn't be.

There is no reason why I am not as short-sighted as he is, why he knows everything, but I have to hear him to understand.

Acceptable, but not acceptable.

"Look, water is so important, so the brick and tile factory is built on the Nangou. The only water source in our Qingquan Town is the Nangou. If we build a brick and tile factory, where will we get water from? I have seen that it is impossible for the water resources of Nangou to support more than two industries."

"It turns out there's still this problem."

"Well, industry is like this. Its existence is inherently more demanding than many other industries. As far as water is concerned, our Qingcheng is located on the Loess Plateau, and water resources are scarce. It is difficult to directly find water that can be used directly. resources, so it is difficult to develop industries that rely on water.”

"Look at why the industry in the south is better developed than ours. Isn't it because people have water everywhere? Water can not only develop agriculture, but also develop industry. Since the Song Dynasty, the south has developed very rapidly... ...oh, where did it go."

Wang Tianxiao suddenly came back to his senses and smiled awkwardly.

He likes to talk to Zhang Wenyuan, mainly because he thinks that Zhang Wenyuan should be able to fully understand what he said, while other people don't understand at all, and if he tells them, there will be no response.

"It's very interesting, you continue to talk, I'm listening."

"Well, it's getting far away after talking," Wang Tianxiao smiled, and then said: "Let's go back, it's because I said yes, so it is impossible for a second brick and tile factory to appear, that is to say, this It's our exclusive deal."

Zhang Wenyuan nodded, refilled the teapot, and turned the teacup slowly, obviously thinking.

Wang Tianxiao was also anxious. He said these things very simply because he had experienced it before, but it must not be so easy for Zhang Wenyuan to think from the perspective of the future.

"So, no matter what, no matter what price I pay, I will take down this brick and tile factory?"

"Well, that's the truth."

"Then they want 600,000, so I'll prepare 600,000."

Now that Zhang Wenyuan had made up his mind, he stopped hesitating and made a decisive decision.

"However, even if you want to purchase at this price, it doesn't mean you won't fight for it at all. Well, you can discuss with the government and strive for a few years of tax holidays."

"How much tax can I pay? Isn't it a little troublesome?"

"Don't think like this. What you see is the current turnover and profits, but the factory is developing, so you have to look at the problem from the perspective of development. When the enterprise develops to a certain scale, you will find that taxation is not an issue. A small amount, and the rest is profit."

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, go fight for it."

"I want to try," Wang Tianxiao said with a smile, "I guess our leaders, like you, don't have any idea about this brick and tile factory. Since it is a state-owned unit, what they think about is the transfer price. It's not a matter of future development..."

"I seem to understand a little bit." Zhang Wenyuan's eyes lit up.

"Haha, well, you just didn't understand it at first. Maybe in their eyes, this factory is a mess. Whoever takes over can't make much money. If it can be sold at a good price, wouldn't it be a good thing. At this time , They definitely don’t notice, or don’t care too much about tax issues, if you are fighting for tax exemption or tax reduction, maybe it will be surprisingly easy.”

Zhang Wenyuan understood everything at this moment.

He stretched out his right thumb to Wang Tianxiao, and said in admiration: "Old Wang, you still said that you have no talent for business. I see you have a talent for this kind of thing. Haven't you discovered it?"

Wang Tianxiao shook his head.

"At best, I'm just making suggestions and giving you a little advice, but I can't help you with the specific implementation. You must quickly take down the matter of the brick and tile factory. Time is running out. If you miss this wave of opportunities, then we will would make a lot less profit..."

Zhang Wenyuan nodded while listening.

Although he didn't know what Wang Tianxiao's so-called good opportunity was, he knew that he would never be indiscriminate, so he kept trusting 100%.

From the development of the prefabrication plant, it can be seen that every time Wang Tianxiao makes a suggestion, it is very purposeful, and the actual development is often not much different from his original plan.

It seems to have the ability to predict.
