Dashan Makes a Living 1984 - Chapter 216: 212: TV and Sheep

Chapter 216 212: TV and Sheep

Wang Tianxiao used to make a thorough analysis every time he talked about things with Zhang Wenyuan. This time, he was a little more cryptic and hid things behind. Of course, Zhang Wenyuan was not used to it.

This cannot be blamed on him, Wang Tianxiao, because the matter really cannot be explained clearly.

Why, he wants Zhang Wenyuan to buy the brick and tile factory.

Of course, it’s not just that he saw the operation and management problems in the brick and tile factory, but because, as someone who has been there, he knew that in the autumn of 1986, a heavy rain would hit Qingcheng, causing the destruction of many houses. .

In my memory, the brick and tile factory that was already on the verge of closing down suddenly rose up against this background.

In the early years, people built houses with soil embryos. The flood made them realize that bricks and tiles are more resistant to flooding and will be safer, so they will not choose soil embryos to build houses again, but bricks and tiles instead.

Since Wang Tianxiao knew about this great opportunity, of course he was going to fight for it.

But this information, there is definitely no way to tell Zhang Wenyuan. We can’t tell him that there will be a heavy rain in the second half of the year. At that time, many people will need bricks and tiles. We just need to wait until then to make money.

In this way, Zhang Wenyuan will not be scared to death.

Wang Tianxiao wants to appear smart, wise, and far-sighted in front of Zhang Wenyuan, but he is definitely not a magician who knows nothing.

That is, Zhang Wenyuan has a strong trust in Wang Tianxiao, which is really unbearable for ordinary people.

It was also through today’s conversation that Wang Tianxiao and Zhang Wenyuan’s ambiguous cooperative relationship was officially brought to the surface, and it was definitely a cooperation.

The goal that Wang Tianxiao wanted to achieve was basically accomplished.

No matter how good Zhang Wenyuan develops later, at least he has a bond with him.

It is not a small gain.

.

In mid-June, the station was finally powered on.

The TV set that Wang Tianxiao bought also came in handy.

With everyone’s concerted efforts, the tall antenna mast was also erected.

The TV stations in this era are very limited. They are all very primitive TV signals, and there are no satellite stations, let alone the cable numbers behind them.

People need a very high antenna mast if they want to receive TV. In theory, the higher it is erected, the better the effect.

There are several receiving devices made of aluminum strips on the top of the antenna mast, and then a very long signal line is pulled down from the top of the antenna mast and connected to the TV.

This antenna has great limitations, not only receiving very few stations, but also easily affected by the weather.

When it is sunny, the TV is basically clear.

But when it is windy and rainy, the signal cannot be received.

If there is a strong wind, the strength of the signal will vary depending on the direction of the wind.

If you want to receive a clearer station, you need to try to slowly rotate the antenna mast to find the most suitable angle, which can receive the signal to the greatest extent.

This is a very annoying thing.

Sometimes when watching a TV series and watching a critical moment, suddenly the TV becomes dotted with stars, so I have to go out and turn the telegraph pole.

In addition, the black-and-white TVs of this era also have a built-in antenna, which is a bit like the two small antennae of a bee. If it is only a small-scale adjustment, it can also play a role by turning the direction of the antennae.

Wang Tianxiao also bought a Yellow River brand TV for Changzhan.

Now I can receive three stations, CCTV 1, CCTV 2 and Qingcheng local TV station.

But it is not clear.

After watching it for a few days, everyone was satisfied with the TV, but their eyes hurt from watching it. They all lamented that it would be better if the TV could be clearer.

Wang Tianxiao saw that everyone was suffering, and remembered that the method he used in his previous life seemed to be helpful, so he decided to give it a try.

He bought a lot of Jianlibao, distributed the contents to everyone, and then perforated the cans and placed them on the antenna in a row.

I just tried it, but I didn’t expect the effect to be really good.

As expected, the TV was much clearer, and everyone gave him a thumbs up, saying that he is so amazing that he can do everything.

However, the TV is too clear, and there are also disadvantages.

At this time, the oldest version of Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio was playing on TV, which was very scary. The classic soundtrack, coupled with very simple and weird pictures, can scare people half to death.

Especially at the beginning of the TV series, there will be an old man walking in the dark with a lantern, and there will be heads flying around.

That kind of eerie feeling, not to mention children, even many adults dare not watch it.

Whenever they see those things come out, timid people will hide their heads in their clothes, waiting and asking: “Is there no past…” They have to wait until they disappear before looking again.

It can be said that I am afraid, but I like to watch it very much, and I feel uncomfortable if I don’t watch it.

In addition to TV dramas, there are other interesting programs, which enrich everyone’s life invisibly, and also show you a lot of other knowledge, which broadens the horizons of people at the station.

Seeing that everyone is very happy, Wang Tianxiao is also very happy.

Of course, besides electricity and TV in the station, a very good thing happened recently.

That means Li Guanping and Mi Xiaoqing got married.

Originally, the custom here is to get engaged first and then get married, but the purpose of this custom is to leave room for both men and women to get to know each other and communicate, so as not to find out that each other is not a partner that the other can live with after marriage.

But Li Guanping and Mi Xiaoqing don’t need this process.

The two of them have known each other for more than half a year, and they know each other well. If they get engaged again, it would be unnecessary to take off their pants and fart.

Mi Xiaoqing’s old man passed away, only his sister Mi Xiaohong and an elder brother, but since that elder brother went to other places, he has not received news for a long time, and has not been contacted for many years.

So as long as Mi Xiaohong agrees, Mi Xiaoqing will be blessed by her family.

And Mi Xiaohong has been at the station for a long time, and has long been familiar with Li Guanping, an honest young man. She thinks it is a good choice for her younger sister to marry him, and she will definitely live a happy life in the future.

So, this matter was officially put on the agenda.

The weddings in this era are relatively simple. People don’t have the concept of three golds. Apart from the bride price, they are the very famous three kinds.

The dowry cost one hundred and sixty yuan, which is not too much, just right.

The three major items are bicycles, sewing machines and radios, all of which are prepared as required.

Of course Li Guanping doesn’t have that much money, but now that he has a brother-in-law Wang Tianxiao, this amount of money is nothing.

Wang Tianxiao said that he lent it to him temporarily, but in fact he didn’t want to hurt his self-esteem. In fact, if it was sponsorship, Wang Tianxiao had nothing to say.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

As long as you have money, you can get happiness, that is to try more.

Wang Tianxiao has this kind of personality. He likes hardworking and kind people and is willing to help them. If it’s that kind of person with bad character, he won’t bother to pay attention.

In addition to these, when Wang Tianxiao built the sheepfold for his mother-in-law’s house, he didn’t forget to take the opportunity to remodel his mother-in-law’s house.

Specifically, three new brick houses were built, one for Li Guanlin’s house, one for Li Guanping’s, and one for Li Guanhong’s.

For the time being, Li Guanping has a new house.

As for the fact that they will separate and build a new yard later, that is the business of the young couple.

Wang Tianxiao is just helping them through the most difficult time, and they still have to walk more roads by themselves.

A life that relies entirely on Wang Tianxiao’s support becomes Wang Tianxiao’s life, not their own.

Wang Tianxiao is kind to everyone in his mother-in-law’s family, but in fact he loves the house and the black.

In the final analysis, it is because he loves his wife Li Yali deeply, so he hopes that her family members will live a happier life, so Li Yali will be in a better mood.

And happy women are often the most beautiful.

After eating last time, Li Guanlin and his wife also worked at the station for a while.

Wang Tianxiao told them euphemistically in advance that just because they are his relatives, they should not be looked down upon by others, and that they should work as if they were working, or else everyone would laugh at them.

Fortunately, Li Guanlin and the others are hard-working people and will not be lazy.

Still doing pretty well.

However, Wang Tianxiao’s arrangement for Li Guanlin was not actually at the site, but his old building.

Since Wang Tianxiao is unwilling to let go of the real estate business, he must be prepared from the very beginning.

He suggested that Zhang Wenyuan’s acquisition of the brick and tile factory was only the first step, and the next step was to establish a professional civil engineering construction team.

Through continuous development, they will gradually expand their response and strengthen their capabilities. They will start with road and house repairs, and when the real estate market becomes popular, they will take advantage of the trend and immediately win projects in Qingcheng and surrounding counties and cities.

As for the expansion of the project, it is a matter of the future. He must make all preparations before the general trend comes.

If you wait until people feel the wind is coming, then go to build a team and train people, it will be a bit late.

Wang Tianxiao found that the team that built the sheepfold for his mother-in-law’s house was pretty good. The construction quality and attitude were good, but these people were recruited temporarily and did not have a strong cohesive force and binding force. Maybe they came to work today, but they will be in a mood tomorrow If it’s not good, I won’t come.

He decided to start by absorbing these people.

Preparing Zhang Wenyuan to absorb and transform this team to form a fixed team.

It is also the embryonic form of real estate construction companies in the future.

He didn’t really understand the operation of the company, so he didn’t do it himself.

He knows the importance of resources.

Basic construction does not mean that you can do it with a team.

There are many people who can do things in this world. The biggest problem is where to find things to do.

Wang Tianxiao has no contacts, so naturally he has no resources, and it is meaningless to pull a team in vain, but Zhang Wenyuan just has the resource path, and it is the best choice to leave it to him.

Even if it can only be divided into 20%, Wang Tianxiao is satisfied.

He knew that he would not be able to earn money beyond what he knew, so he would force himself to do so without saying anything, and would waste too much energy and time.

It is indeed a loss-making business.

Big brother-in-law Li Guanlin and Wang Tianxiao are going to be put in that construction unit. His biggest advantage is his conscientiousness and meticulousness. If he can develop into a project supervisor in the future, it will be a very good development.

Of course, at the beginning, the couple still have to wait for the construction of the sheepfold to work at home for a while, and then talk about future arrangements after they are stable.

With this arrangement, the brothers of the Li family will go their own way, and no one will interfere with the other.

As for what will develop in the future, it depends on everyone’s fortune.

.

Wang Tianxiao and Liu Mang stood at the entrance of Wangjiacun, looking at a huge open space in front of them.

“Boss Wang, is this the land you are talking about?”

Wang Tianxiao nodded, pointed to the distance and said, “Did you see that mulberry tree? I contracted the land from the east of the mulberry tree to the west of the mountain. The area is included in this alfalfa field.”

Liu Mang is the construction leader who helps his mother-in-law’s family to build the sheepfold, referred to as the contractor.

He is not tall, at most 1.65 meters. He has a round body and a bare head. He looks like a person who has been dealing with outside for a long time.

Lean and greasy.

Wang Tianxiao didn’t feel good about him at first.

I asked Wu Ping specifically, but Wu Ping said that this Liu Mang is a very loyal person, and the quality of his work is nothing to say.

Since Wu Ping said so, Wang Tianxiao gave it a try.

I didn’t expect it to be really good, and I couldn’t find any faults in the work I did, but Liu Mang got acquainted with Wang Tianxiao after a while, only to find that he was not the rough man he seemed on the surface, but a delicate man who was very good to his wife and children. .

The reason for maintaining this appearance is entirely to deal with external affairs.

The people who do the construction are some strong men with five big and three thick. If you want them to convince you, you have to blend in with them.

Can drink, punch, and make noise.

If you look polite, those who work hard will definitely not like you.

This is not a question of money or not, but of circles.

Everyone is looking for a circle that suits them. Workers who work hard have a circle they are familiar with. If they are close to their circle, they must conform to the image in their minds.

Using what Liu Mang said, he was also a good-looking guy before, so handsome.

No, life is forced.

Wang Tianxiao felt that he was right to dress himself like a contractor in order to integrate into the ranks of the workers.

But he was handsome when he was young…

That is absolutely unbelievable.

Now that the matter over there is settled, Wang Tianxiao just received another sum of money, plus his original money, the construction of the sheepfold should be put on the agenda.

So he called Liu Mang here to look at the terrain in advance, and briefly told Liu Mang his needs by the way.

Wang Tianxiao has already planned in detail what it will look like, and has drawn up the floor plan himself. When the time comes, Liu Mang and the others will just follow the construction.

The sheepfold with a construction area of ​​several thousand square meters is not a small project, and it must be studied carefully.

Originally, Wang Tianxiao planned to put the deer pen under the mountain, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

The deer is his unique means of making money at the bottom of the box. Try not to expose it to others, at least not now. The deer ring must also be built, but it should be built on the mountain.

Anyway, he only plans to control the number to a maximum of one hundred, and he will not occupy many positions.

Let Liu Yuan take personal responsibility when the time comes.

The old man is professional and responsible, but Wang Tianxiao is really worried about the others.

“Old Liu, the project is just such a project. I have told you the specific requirements. You go back and calculate the construction volume and give me a price. I value your construction quality, but you also know that I am a talkative person. You can’t open your mouth like a lion.”

Liu Mang didn’t answer in a hurry, but went back and forth on the ground to measure the distance, and sometimes squatted on the ground and grabbed a handful of soil to watch carefully and smell it, he didn’t look like a construction contractor, but like a farmer preparing to farm farmers.

Busy to complete the meeting, then walked back, smiled and said to Wang Tianxiao: “Boss Wang, the workload is not small, this project.”

“Isn’t it small? Lao Liu, you don’t want to ask me for a high price, do you? Look, I look for you for everything. That’s because I treat you as a friend. You have to be loyal.”

Wang Tianxiao joked.

“Haha, how can I talk nonsense about the price with Boss Wang? You can think highly of me, and I’m too happy. But this project is really troublesome.

Look, here is at the foot of the mountain, the soil composition is very special, and it is not stable, if we want to build something on this kind of land, we have to dig out a section of the foundation and fix the wall from below…”

Liu Mang walked around with Wang Tianxiao, watching.

Tell him about the particularity of this soil.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is because the soil is relatively loose and the situation below the ground is complicated, so the foundation must be deepened.

In this way, the buildings built on it can be more stable.

Otherwise, if the mountain moves a little, the whole side will collapse.

The soil in Qingcheng belongs to the Loess Plateau, so the mountain range is a mixture of rocks and loess. This kind of mountain is very prone to landslides. In the early years, there were not so many trees. I heard that accidents happen every summer, so there are no people at the foot of the mountain.

Mijia Village is the nearest village to the foot of the mountain, and now it has retreated a few miles away, completely giving way to the mountain.

Human beings are insignificant before the temper of the mountains.

Liu Mang is really very experienced. He didn’t fool around with getting the list in his hands before speaking. Instead, he laid out all the questions in advance and told Wang Tianxiao all the words up front.

He wanted to ensure the quality of the construction, and Wang Tianxiao wanted to ensure that he could accept his proposal.

This is the most correct rhythm for talking about engineering.

Unlike many engineering teams, they deliberately avoid disadvantages when talking, and don’t tell you the difficulties. They wait for you to sign the contract, and then tell you the problems one by one, so that you have to increase the price.

What’s more, some don’t say anything directly, don’t care, cut corners, and run away as soon as the work is done, leaving a lot of questions.

This kind of construction team cannot be more in future generations.

Many decoration companies take advantage of poor cognition and information to exploit users.

Wang Tianxiao is quite satisfied with Liu Mang’s work attitude, but the price must be discussed after all.

“Old Liu, I know what you said. I believe you can handle it very well. Otherwise, I will call you here, right? Look at how many construction teams there are in Qingcheng. Why did I just look for it?” As for you, don’t you think that you will be responsible for your work, so I don’t worry.”

Who doesn’t want to hear others praise themselves.

Liu Mang was a little embarrassed by the praise, and said with a simple smile: “Thank you, Boss Wang, for trusting me. I think you are a real person, so do you think this will work? One price, 12,000 labor and materials, do you think it will work?”

“Twelve thousand?” It was slightly cheaper than Wang Tianxiao estimated, and he estimated it to be around fifteen thousand.

However, this is the case when negotiating prices. No matter how much money other people have, you must continue to bargain.

“Is it a bit taller?” Wang Tianxiao asked with a smile.

“Boss Wang, the price is not too high. After all, I need to find 30 or 40 people to do it, and I need to start some equipment. Don’t you need money for diesel and so on. Don’t worry about the quality of my construction. The price is really not worth it. Shouted.”

“Look, there is no one-buy price for this kind of business, right? You called 12,000, and I said it was cheaper. You can’t just call it dead. Even if it’s comfort, it’s not to comfort my mood. Well.”

“Boss Wang, you are a person who makes a lot of money, so don’t pick me for a penny. We rely on coolies for food. It’s really not just shouting… Sigh, can you see if this works? Since Boss Wang is like this Having said that, then I won’t make it look like I’m not mean enough, just in case, I’ll give you a thousand.”

“What do you think of integers?”

“Integer, you said ten thousand?”

“Well, ten thousand.”

“No, no, that’s too little, I can’t make much money, it’s almost like working for nothing.”

“Old Liu, do you think that in doing business, you have to pay attention to the long-term flow of water, and the money is not made all at once, right? I guarantee that our future cooperation will be far more than this, so don’t worry about it Bar.”

“It really can’t be lowered. To tell you the truth, Boss Wang, I have carefully calculated the workload for this money. If it is lower, I will be playing for nothing. It must not work.”

“Haha, it really can’t be less.”

“Really can not.”

Wang Tianxiao saw that he was so determined, so he didn’t want to tease him anymore.

“Okay, then follow what you said. But I ask you to follow my idea, first make a construction plan for me, and then start construction if there is no problem, do you think it will work?”

“Okay, such a large workload must be planned.” Liu Mang nodded.

The two chatted for a while about details.

While chatting, Wang Tianxiao kept observing Liu Mang, thinking how to include this person in his plan, it seems that it is not very easy.

.

“Lili, I’m going, are you sure you don’t want to go?”

After having dinner early, Wang Tianxiao was about to leave for his mother-in-law’s house.

The sheepfold at the mother-in-law’s house has been built for some time. After nearly a month of drying, the sheep can now be brought in.

There were more than a dozen sheep in the family, both male and female.

According to the wishes of the father-in-law and mother-in-law, if there are more purchases, more than 30 female sheep will be sold back.

Rams don’t need much, and it’s useless.

The aquaculture industry is originally based on the reproduction of offspring to increase income, so basically there are more females than males.

Just leave a few males to keep the flock alive.

If all are ewes, the flock will become lifeless and lose the possibility of reproduction.

But Wang Tianxiao didn’t want to just buy sheep back.

He had already planned to raise goats and sheep together.

Anyone who has experience in raising sheep in later generations knows that sheep are more cost-effective than goats.

Take the common small-tailed Han sheep in Northwest China as an example. Not only do they grow fast, they are larger in size, they last a long time in estrus, and they can also give birth to two litters a year.

The economic benefits are huge.

The main means of profit for sheep is wool. Adult sheep can be sheared about three times a year, and the benefits are also considerable.

Besides, sheep are easier to feed than goats, so they are more durable.

In contrast, the cost performance of goats is much worse.

And the only profit points for goats are goat milk and mutton.

Removing the one-time sale of mutton, if you want to make money on goats, you must develop its milk production.

So most farmers raise sheep, they are all sheep.

But Wang Tianxiao planned to raise the goats and sheep together, about half of each.

He wants to develop slowly in both wool and goat milk.

Regardless of whether there is a problem with wool or goat milk, risk hedging can be carried out.

More importantly, he wants to try to develop the new industry of dairy industry.

The track he has always set for himself is agriculture. The aquaculture industry is the bulk of agriculture, and dairy products are an inevitable point in the aquaculture industry.

It only produces wool, which is too monotonous.

The dairy industry mainly relies on cow’s milk, supplemented by goat’s milk, because goat’s milk has many inherent production shortcomings compared to cow’s milk.

First of all, goat milk is not as easy to store as milk, and goat milk is more likely to deteriorate, but if it is sterilized at high temperature like milk, it is easy to damage the structure and cause loss of nutrition. Therefore, the processing cost of goat milk is much higher than that of cow milk.

Secondly, goat milk production is not as stable as cow milk.

The daily output of a dairy goat is less than one tenth of that of a dairy cow, so the amount that can be produced is completely unequal to the number of sheep raised.

In addition, dairy goats are insufficient compared to dairy cows, so the market has not been fully opened, resulting in this kind of milk is only a small-scale consumer product, a niche market.

If there are fewer people consuming, fewer people will produce naturally, less research and development costs, and fewer products, which in turn will affect the market.

In later generations, with the continuous improvement of biotechnology and the continuous popularization of knowledge, people gradually knew the benefits of goat milk, and gradually goat milk became popular.

It’s just because the production cost is high and the price is relatively high, so it’s not something that ordinary people can enjoy for a long time.

Wang Tianxiao knows this knowledge, but his idea is to provide fresh milk to everyone in every city, even every village.

Northwest people often have stomach problems, because people here did not have healthy eating habits in the early years.

Eating only two meals a day leads to a longer empty stomach.

Therefore, many people suffer from chronic gastritis more or less, and it is difficult to accept it when it flares up.

Wang Tianxiao suffered from chronic stomach problems in his previous life. Every time the weather turned cold, he had to put on his clothes quickly, or he would die of stomach pain.

If you can drink a cup of fragrant goat’s milk when you wake up in the morning, it may improve some.

This idea seems to be taken for granted, even a bit naive, but Wang Tianxiao wants to give it a try.

After being reborn, I must do things that no one has ever done before, or even things that have never been done before. Wouldn’t it be too boring if I followed the path that others have gone through in everything.

This seems a very simple idea, if it succeeds, wouldn’t it be a very interesting and great merit.

Not only can you make money, but you can also realize some of your ideals.

Wang Tianxiao told his father-in-law and mother-in-law a long time ago that when their family bought sheep, they added some goats as a pilot.

The sheep market in Qingcheng at this time is basically full of sheep, and there are almost no goats, so Wang Tianxiao is going to take his father-in-law to visit other places to see if he can find any clues.

At the same time, he also surveyed the source of goods for his sheep farm in advance.

More than an hour later, Wang Tianxiao brought his father-in-law Li Wanfu to Ning County.

Ning County is the hometown of Li Yali’s free uncle, Qin Shou, and her mother-in-law.

Because a large area of ​​this place is mountainous, the main means of livelihood is not only hunting but breeding.

If you want to find goats, this may be the best place.

If you can’t find it here, then you probably have to go to another place to look.

The two of them went directly to the sheep market without delay, and sure enough they found several different kinds of sheep.

Of course, the most popular ones are small-tailed Han sheep.
