Dashan Makes a Living 1984 - Chapter 188

   Chapter 188 184: Two birds with one stone

   “It’s not the same thing,” Zhang Yufeng said angrily, “I can’t control others, can’t I control my own daughter?”

“Why…why do you have to take care of her?” Wang Tianxiao dissuaded softly, “Mother, Xiaolan is already 21 years old, and she is already an adult. She has her own ideas and principles of doing things. She no longer needs You make up her mind for everything, and she can decide her own life.”

   Zhang Yufeng was slightly taken aback when she heard what Wang Tianxiao said, maybe it touched a certain link in her heart, she stared at Wang Tianxiao in a daze, and fell silent for a while.

“Mom, I’m going to tell you today, and you have to think about the details. After all, Xiaolan’s stubborn temper is also inherited from you. As for people, let’s live with me first, and come back anyway. There is no place to live. If you want to see her, tell Tianxin, and I will send her back.”

   “I don’t want to see her, she’d better never come back.”

  Although Zhang Yufeng was still insisting, her tone was much more relaxed.

  It used to be a cold winter day, but now it is basically a cold wind blowing in autumn.

  Wang Tianxiao didn’t expect to solve the problem once, and felt that the heat was almost ready, so he stopped talking.

   After chatting casually with my mother about homework, I left the pit yard.

  When he went out, he saw Hongwei was still playing with dirt on the ground, thinking about his own Wang Fang, he immediately felt bad for this child.

  What should be done, he has already done, and the rest depends on good luck and fate.

  If there is no change, then he can only be blamed for being born in such a family.

   It’s still the same sentence, it’s all life.

  Just like Wang Tianxiao’s previous life, he suffered a lot. If he didn’t live long enough, he might not be able to wait for the day when the suffering will come to an end.

  When he saw Wang Tianren and his wife staring at him vigilantly, he suddenly felt that these two people were both hateful and pitiful, and they would suffer in the future.

  Going to the pit yard, he was just about to return to the station when he saw the captain Zhao Dabao coming out of the neighbor Cao’s house with a sad face, sighing and shaking his head as he walked.

  Seeing that he was about to hit Wang Tianxiao’s motorcycle, he suddenly came back to his senses, saw that it was Wang Tianxiao, and forced out a smile, “Ah, it’s Tianxiao, come back to see your mother?”

   “Well, come back and have a look.”

  Wang Tianxiao gave Zhao Dabao a cigarette, “Brother Dabao, I see you look sullen, what happened?”

   “Isn’t it for pulling electricity?”

Zhao Dabao’s lighter was not working well, and he managed to ignite the cigarette after several strokes. He took a deep puff and let out a long puff of smoke, and then said, “No, there was a meeting in the village some time ago, and they said they were going to do something. For the activity of using electricity to enter the house, if there is a mouth on the top, the people below us will have to run away.”

   “This is a good thing, why do you look unhappy instead?”

   “Of course it’s a good thing, but you don’t know how hard it is for the old stubborn people on this team. I have worn out my lips, and there are still very few people who are willing to pull.”

   “Such an exaggeration? It shouldn’t be, is it because you didn’t make it clear to everyone that using electricity is definitely better than using kerosene, and besides, how to watch TV without electricity…”

“television?”

   “Oh. It’s a thing that uses electricity to work, just like a movie.” Wang Tianxiao explained, and then said: “Speaking of which, why don’t everyone agree?”

   “It’s not because of poverty.”

Zhao Dabao wiped his trouser legs, squatted down on the mound next to him, and said helplessly, “Actually, you can’t blame the common people for this. I heard from the people in the village and the power supply station that if you want to pull electricity, you must first arrange the wires. Then It is not a simple matter to pull the wires from the town, it requires a concrete pole to be erected every few hundred meters, and it takes a little bit to send the wires to the entrance of our village…”

   “I know this,” Wang Tianxiao nodded, “If you want to use electricity, you must have power lines.”

“The truth is the same, but the problem arises. The power supply said that they have to pay part of the cost. I heard they said it was a big deal, but we don’t know if they lied to us. Anyway, after we have been there, each family has to pay again. Fifty yuan, and the wires can enter the village.”

   “Fifty yuan, not a lot.”

  Wang Tianxiao roughly estimated the purchasing power of fifty yuan.

  Although he has not yet reached the point of being rich and powerful, but because he found the big tree Zhang Wenyuan, he is currently financially well off.

   so that his concept of money is a bit vague.

  Every time I hear an amount of money, I will subconsciously convert the price, measure the current general income of everyone, and then judge what level the amount of money is.

  Fifty yuan is nothing to Wang Tianxiao.

  But for these ordinary people in the village, it is already a considerable sum.

   Few families can come up with so much cash all at once.

  It is no wonder that the common people are unwilling to use the assets of the whole family to do an unpredictable thing.

  It is really cost-effective.

“There are three main lines in our village, one of which is to go all the way from the transformer east of our team to Mijia Village. The trouble now is that if we can’t get through this line, then the Mijia Village and Xialiu Village behind will also If there is no electricity, there will definitely be a lot of trouble.”

  Wang Tianxiao frowned when he heard this.

  If ordinary villagers hear this information, they may not care about it. They can’t take care of their own affairs, so how can they care about other villages.

  But Wang Tianxiao is different.

  He still thought about electrifying the station.

  If electricity can’t even pass through Wangjia Village, how can it reach Xialiu Village?

  His plan is to set up the substation at the junction of Liu Village underground in Yangziling, on the premise that electricity must at least pass through Mijia Village.

“So you say it’s difficult. If you only mobilize people, then I can think of a way, but money is a hard currency, and a penny can stump a hero. The big guy has no money, and I can’t help it. No one can do it.” Maybe money came out for no reason.”

  Wang Tianxiao nodded. He felt what Zhao Dabao said. He thought for a while and asked: “Brother Dabao, you said just now that few companies are willing, so how many companies are there? About how many?”

   “Let me make a rough calculation.”

  Zhao Dabao bowed his head and thought for a while, then said: “Today I am just making preliminary statistics, and three out of ten households are willing to be good.”

   “Thirty percent, it’s really a bit small.”

  Wang Tianxiao sighed, “You roughly predict, how many of these unwilling people can change their minds through ideological work?”

   “It’s hard to say,” Wang Dabao shook his head, “Even if I don’t want to get rid of my old face, the person who can pull 20% at most is great. That’s only halfway.”

   “Half, there are about two hundred families in our team?”

   “Well, two hundred and nine households.”

   “Even if there are two hundred households, half of them will be one hundred households, which is five thousand yuan, right?”

   “It’s this number.” Wang Dabao still doesn’t quite understand what Wang Tianxiao wants to do.

  Wang Tianxiao gave him another cigarette, quickly thinking about countermeasures in his mind.

  He discovered very early on that every time he thought about a problem after being reborn, his mind would spin rapidly, as if his IQ was slightly better than in his previous life, and he didn’t know if it was a small benefit of rebirth.

   Soon, he thought of a solution.

“Brother Dabao, electricity must be pulled. Electricity is a very important thing in the future society. It’s just that the big guys haven’t seen the convenience of electricity yet. But if you miss this opportunity because you don’t want to pull electricity, the next project I don’t know how long it will be delayed.”

“That’s the reason. Some people are old and stubborn. I can’t explain it to them. I’m so worried that my hair is going to be gray. Now the three lines are going hand in hand. If our team delays the overall progress of the village, I will What face is there to be a captain?”

   “Have you given feedback to the village on the actual situation? It’s important, but you can’t rush the ducks to the shelves, right? After all, the affairs of the common people are not something you can make up your mind alone. Who doesn’t have a small mind when they live their lives?”

“That’s right… Hey, I was almost taken into the ditch by you,” Wang Dabao was almost taken into the ditch by Wang Tianxiao, and he hurriedly retracted the topic, “You can say that, but I can’t do it. Don’t you have to take responsibility for this matter? A responsibility.”

   “Haha, that’s true.” Wang Tianxiao smiled.

   “Okay, I won’t chat with you anymore, I’m going to go under you now, is my aunt here… By the way, brother Tianxiao, your family will not support it, right?”

   “I definitely support it, but you also know that I don’t live in the village now, so I still have to ask my mother about the following matters.”

   “Well, I thought it would save some trouble.” Wang Dabao said regretfully.

   “Go and talk to my mother. If she agrees, that’s fine. If she doesn’t agree, you can just say what I want, and I’ll pay her the money.”

   “Haha.” Wang Dabao was overjoyed, “Then it’s up to you to make the decision. You are a man who lives in the public house, and seeing the world is different.”

   “This is to support Brother Dabao’s work.”

   “That’s right, if every family is as sensible and knowledgeable as you, I don’t have to spend so much effort, break my legs, and grind my mouth.”

  Wang Tianxiao smiled and said nothing.

  He saw that Wang Dabao was about to walk down the pit yard, and suddenly stopped him, “Brother Dabao, even if I agree, you can convince half of the people, what will you do with the remaining half?”

   “What can I do, let’s see step by step, I can’t put a knife on someone’s neck and get them to agree?”

   Seeing that Wang Tianxiao seemed to have something to say, Wang Dabao tentatively asked, “Tianxiao, do you have a solution?”

   “How should I say it? There is a way, but I don’t know if it’s appropriate to say it?”

   “What’s inappropriate about this? Things have come to this point, so there’s no need to hide it. You just say it’s okay.”

   “Then did I really say it?”

   “Oh, what are you saying, are you going to kill me?”

  Wang Tianxiao secretly laughed when he saw Wang Dabao’s impatient look.

  He met Wang Dabao today, no, he should have heard Wang Tianxin say that the village had electricity on that day, but many people disagreed and already had a vague idea in his heart.

  He knew from the beginning that the matter of pulling electricity in this village must not be solved simply.

   This is basically similar to what happened in the previous life.

   No matter how good something is, if the common people don’t accept it, there is nothing anyone can do about it.

  In the last life, I had no choice but to pull the electricity repeatedly. In the end, some people were still unwilling to pay, and the village paid in advance, and then replaced it with volunteer workers.

  However, volunteer labor was originally a voluntary labor, and there was no money for it. As a result, this debt became a bad debt, which led to a series of troublesome things, and there were countless meetings in the village.

   Therefore, Wang Tianxiao already had plans from the beginning.

Since the people in the team can’t get the money out, then he will directly come to a contract. He will sign an agreement with everyone who is unwilling to pull electricity, and he will help everyone pay for it. Then, if anyone wants to use electricity again , and then just give him the money.

  In this way, the smooth laying of the line can be guaranteed, and a good impression will be left in the hearts of the villagers.

  He knows that in the future all users will eventually be connected with electricity. Even if he loses money, he will lose a depreciation of wealth. However, the impression left in the hearts of the villagers is the basis for him to invite everyone to work in the station later.

  As previously considered, he has planted so many herbs in the mountains, it must require many people to work.

  When planting, a few people can barely make do, but harvesting is not a matter of a few people.

   If it is not recovered in a short period of time according to the season, the herbal medicine will be overdone and lose its best medicinal effect.

  And to think about when someone does something, it’s not just about money.

  The villagers here are all single-minded. Although they are poor, they are not the type who will do everything for money.

  Of course, Wang Tianxiao’s little thoughts are more than this.

  Winning the villagers is only part of his purpose, and more importantly, he has the advantage of killing two birds with one stone.

  He previously agreed with Director Li of the distribution station that Director Li would set up the transformer station at the junction of Yangziling and Xialiu Village, and he was willing to give Director Li a boost.

   Solving this problem now is the help of commitment.

   There is a time limit for the distribution station to send electricity to the countryside. If the goal is delayed, Director Li will inevitably be reprimanded by the superior department.

  Now Director Li has not realized the horror of this problem. He thinks that sending electricity to households is a benefit to everyone.

   But he is a typical non-eating minced meat.

  Ordinary people are reluctant to spend fifty cents on weekdays, so where else can they prepare fifty yuan for him at once?

  Wang Tianxiao was sure of this, and made a “gentleman’s agreement” with him in advance. He just ignored Wang Tianxiao’s words now, and he didn’t really realize that this young man will determine his fate in the future.

  In addition to exchanging a convenience from Director Li, Wang Tianxiao’s bigger idea is still in the village.

   More precisely, on the team.

  Because the village is only now carrying out joint production contracting, there are many special lands left over from history that have become problems.

   For example, some lands are fruit trees, some lands are cemeteries and so on.

   These lands are basically not allocated, and almost no one is willing to ask for them.

  It used to be that there was someone to take care of any place in the village, but now everyone is busy with their own contracted land. Who wants to work for the village?

  Even if they are volunteers, they are all foreign workers, and there are not many people who are really willing to work hard.

   Over time, these lands gradually fell into disrepair.

  The village and the team have no choice but to let these lands go unused, which is a pity, but they can be cleaned up, and there is no manpower and material resources.

  Wang Tianxiao focused on a field of alfalfa.

   This piece of land is located on the westernmost side of the team, bordering on Mijia Village, about 50 or 60 mu.

  It was originally used to grow alfalfa for the livestock in the team,

  After the production can be distributed to households, not to mention the land, even cattle and sheep are also distributed to each household. How can such a large alfalfa field be needed.

   Gradually, the land became a wasteland, with alfalfa and weeds growing together. People in the team and the village would cut off the alfalfa from time to time and go home to feed the livestock. Other than that, there was almost no other use.

  Wang Tianxiao is going to contract this land at a very cheap price, the purpose is very simple.

  He will build a breeding base based on this land in the future.

  Since it is a business, he must find the right opportunity to start and sell.

  Sense of smell is another attribute he has improved a lot.

  When he thought about farming, he thought of the alfalfa field on the team.

   But at that time, the land had not been completely divided, and he did not have a good excuse or opportunity.

  If you ask Wang Dabao directly, even if he agrees, he will definitely need to pay more chips.

  Now, Wang Dabao is worrying about this matter, so this is a good time to take advantage of the fire.

   “Oh, Tianxiao, what do you want to say, hurry up, I’m still busy.”

   “Then I’ll say it,” Wang Tianxiao saw that the fire was coming, and was about to show his fangs. Before, he had vague ideas, but now his mind is spinning, and he can think clearly about the details.

   “Well, talk quickly.”

   “Brother Dabao, in fact, this matter looks very complicated, but it is not very complicated in practice, is it?”

   “Is it complicated, but it’s not simple,” Wang Dabao said depressedly, “It’s not all about money. If you have money, it will be simple, and if you don’t have money, it will be complicated.”

   “Yes, that’s right. Since the matter ultimately comes down to money, it’s easy to handle.”

   “Huh?” Wang Dabao was stunned, “Where is it easy to deal with? After all, there is still no money. Could it be that you pay them?”

  Wang Tianxiao smiled, but did not speak.

   “You…” Wang Dabao stared at Wang Tianxiao in surprise, his face full of disbelief, “Tianxiao, are you…really?”

   “If there is really no way, I can try.” Wang Tianxiao said with a smile.

   “You know what you’re talking about, what a huge sum. Even if there are still 100 households who can’t pay, it’s five thousand yuan, five thousand yuan!”

   “Well, that’s right, it needs more than five thousand yuan.”

   “Then you still… ah, you mean, you can take out five thousand yuan?”

  Wang Tianxiao nodded, “To tell you the truth, I happen to have such a sum of money, which was originally used for other purposes, but since it is now used by the team, I can temporarily use it to pay in advance to help the team solve their urgent needs.”

  Wang Dabao looked at Wang Tianxiao in surprise, unbelievable.

   This matter is really too shocking.

  Everyone couldn’t come up with 50 yuan, but he actually wanted to take out 5,000 yuan in one go, which was beyond Wang Dabao’s imagination.

  He is a small production team leader, and he is not someone who has seen the big world, so how can he resolve such a large amount of information.

   Happy Chinese New Year everyone, auspicious Year of the Rabbit
