Chapter 281 Zhao Xuelei wins the game

Pingyang County, Zheshan Commune.

As expected, the young man couldn't keep his temper, and Secretary Zhang was very unhappy with Xiao Ma's words.

"Xiao Ma, please pull him down quickly. Doesn't Xiao Zhao know this?"

For fear that Xiao Ma would make the "financier" angry and run away, Secretary Zhang quickly gave up his desire to continue talking.

Xiao Ma sat aside in silence, somewhat unconvinced.

"Xiao Zhao, you mean to produce stones directly on the mountain?"

Sure enough, Jiang was still old and hot, and Secretary Zhang quickly understood Zhao Wenmu's thoughts.

"We have actually thought about using the resources in the mountainous area of ​​our commune to build some lime kilns, gravel fields, etc. However, the efficiency of building lime kilns is not good, and the gravel field has no money to buy equipment, so it is nothing."

Zhao Wenmu made a special trip to visit the lime kiln in Zheshan Commune and found that the construction was quite thoughtful.

Two lime kilns were built against a natural cliff, with a total height of about ten meters. Workers used carts to transport the limestone to the top platform and pour it into the lime kilns.

The fired lime is taken out from the bottom outlet and transported away from the bottom platform.

If the terrain conditions were not cleverly utilized, first of all, the construction difficulty of the lime kiln would have been increased several times, and secondly, to feed materials to the top of the kiln, which is more than ten meters high, a slope of at least dozens of meters long would have to be built.

Although the lime kiln was well built, due to inconvenient transportation, the lime produced could only be sold to nearby villages and rarely transported to the city where the demand for lime was huge.

Because of this, this lime kiln is currently almost idle.

Fortunately, there is no need to purchase machinery and equipment to build a lime kiln. At most, it only wastes some manpower and construction materials.

Producing gravel is not that simple. It requires not only a professional crusher, but also a vibrating screen, transmission belt and supporting water and electricity facilities. The investment alone is not a small sum.

There is a gravel pit in Zheshan Commune.

But it was a very small manual workshop that relied on villagers wielding big hammers to smash rocks into small pebbles. The production efficiency was not comparable to that of a modern factory.

"Secretary Zhang, as long as the road is built, the products from the gravel field and lime kiln can be sold to the county and even surrounding counties and cities; and as long as the gravel field is built, the materials for road construction will be available."

A perfect chicken-and-egg cycle.

There is only one problem, chicken or egg, one must come first.

"So Xiao Zhao, are you planning to open a gravel field?"

Secretary Zhang was obviously excited. He just waited for Zhao Wenmu to nod and immediately held it with both hands.

"Uncle Zhang, don't hold me alone! My second uncle, Zhao Xuelei, go find him!"

The Qingshan Building Materials Factory in Shanqian Village has begun to take shape, and Zhao Xuelei will definitely not mind expanding the business again.

Secretary Zhang thought the same thing. Apart from Zhao Wenmu, only Qingshan Building Materials Factory in Zheshan Commune had the strength to open a gravel pit.

So early the next morning, Secretary Zhang simply took Zhao Wenmu's car to Shanqian Village.

Hearing the purpose of his visit, Zhao Xuelei looked distressed, grabbed Secretary Zhang's hand and began to cry:

"Old Zhang, our village is poor! Qingshan Factory is poor, how can we have the money to build a gravel pit? The car I rented belongs to Boss Zhao..."

He howled for a long time without crying.

"Okay, Old Zhao, stop it, stop acting! Don't blame me for not telling you, this is a good deal!"

When Secretary Zhang said this, Zhao Xuelei couldn't continue acting. He smiled dryly and said:

"Secretary Zhang, tell us, why is this a good deal?"

In fact, Zhao Xuelei was also thinking quickly. The demand for stones in the market is huge now. As long as he has good products, he won't have to worry about sales. The only problem is that the initial investment is large and the transportation cost is a bit high.

Large investment is relative, and now Qingshan Factory naturally has this strength.

There is no way to deal with transportation. Good-quality limestone mines are concentrated in the southern area of ​​the commune, which is far away from the county seat. The main problem is that the roads are all bad.

The tractor has to lie on the road.

"As long as the gravel pit is built, the rent in Daliu Mountain and Mangshan will be halved within five years. In addition, the commune will also build a gravel road from Liushan to the county seat!"

Secretary Zhang discussed with several cadres early in the morning and finally chose the location of the gravel pit in the Daliu Mountain and Mangshan area.

The quality of the limestone in these two mountains is very good. It is no exaggeration to say that if you scrape off the two to three meters thick soil layer on the surface of the mountain, it will be all limestone underneath.

From here to the county seat, you will inevitably pass through the commune station, and there are six impoverished mountain villages along the way. There is already a dirt road here, the renovation cost is much lower, and this road can also maximize the economy along the route.

Hearing Secretary Zhang's words, Zhao Xuelei's heart skipped a beat.

If the commune built the road, of course he would be willing to build a gravel pit!

"Not only that, the lime kiln in the commune was also transferred to the gravel field!"

Secretary Zhang came with the utmost sincerity, not to mention that the lime kiln has always been of limited use in their hands. If it were left to Zhao Xuelei to run it, it might be revitalized.

At this point, Zhao Xuelei was completely tempted.

However, he still pretended to be hesitant and said with some embarrassment:

"Old Zhang! We are really..."

Secretary Zhang refused to give him a chance to perform. Seeing that Zhao Xuelei was still bargaining, he immediately turned around and left.

"Oh, Lao Zhang, Secretary Zhang!"

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xuelei immediately hugged Secretary Zhang's arm.

"Old Zhao, your Qingshan factory is also having difficulties, so I'd better find someone else!"

Secretary Zhang said "empathetically".

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult! It's our unshirkable responsibility to share the company's worries!"

Zhao Xuelei immediately expressed his determination.

The stone field was settled after some bargaining between the two old foxes.

"Old Zhao, I have made so many concessions, do you think the stones for road construction should be sorted out?"

Just when Zhao Xuelei was holding the pie in his mouth and preparing to taste its deliciousness, Secretary Zhang made this request at the right time.

After all, the commune really had no money.

"What are you talking about? Road construction is not the responsibility of the commune?"

Zhao Xuelei asked in surprise.

"Don't you know whether the commune has money?"

Secretary Zhang asked rhetorically.

Zhao Xuelei has been promoted to deputy secretary a long time ago, so he naturally knows what is going on in Zheshan Commune.

Seeing that the two of them were arguing so quickly that their faces turned red and their necks thickened, Zhao Wenmu hurried forward.

"Uncle, two uncles, I will pay for the gravel for road construction! I will pay for it!"

The two people who were fighting each other like fighting cocks a second ago suddenly changed their faces:

"That's really great!"

The two said in unison.

Zhao Wenmu said to himself, "What if I didn't know you were acting here?"

"I have agreed that the stones for road construction can only be sold to me at cost price. Second uncle, don't even think about making money!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, it will definitely happen!"

Zhao Xuelei's face immediately burst into a bright smile.

Now not only is the gravel pit now available, but the first batch of orders have also been settled.

Two lime kilns were also obtained.

What a win!

As for Zhao Wenmu, he is not at a loss. He plans to launch a pilot greenhouse project along this highway in the future.
