At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened.
Zhang Hao reluctantly sat up from the recliner, stared at the sun in the sky for a long time, then patted his butt and got off the wall.
In the living room, Zhang Jiayi has just arrived home.
"Where have you gone? I was looking for you?"
"Hey, second sister, are you back? How's it going at the construction site?" Zhang Hao asked casually.
"We are packing up and preparing to stop work." Zhang Jiayi couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, I thought of things too simply. According to the current progress of the project, it will take at least one or two months to complete everything.
Time."
"How many factories have been completed?"
Zhang Hao also had some regrets.
This delay wasted at least half a year.
"Only the first and third plants have been completely completed, and mycelium has been planted. There are three varieties in total, namely oyster mushrooms, white mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms.
In addition, the second, fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh factories have different levels of completion.
The fastest factory, the fourth factory, is almost completed and just needs to finish the work; the seventh factory, the slowest, has just cleared out the debris and has not officially started construction yet!
As for the remaining eight to twelve factories, these five are earthworm breeding factories. The transformation is relatively simple and the progress is going smoothly. The seedlings ordered from Nissan are already on the way and are expected to arrive next week." p>
Zhang Jiayi reports in detail.
Zhang Hao nodded helplessly: "Since it's not finished yet, we can only wait until next year."
"There are several engineering teams that are willing to continue working."
"No, we must stop work."
Zhang Hao quickly waved his hand and then explained:
"I have told you before that volcanic ash is no joke. Transportation, power supply, and logistics support are not small problems.
Besides, the city will soon be under comprehensive martial law, and ordinary people won’t be able to go out at all. It’s a waste of time to even think about it. Let’s wait until work resumes next year!”
"What's the point? The worst we can do is let them live directly down there. Listening to their wishes, they seem to be happy to stay and work overtime. After all, the salary we give is not low."
"Live in? Won't they go home?"
Zhang Hao said doubtfully.
In reality, except for him, this is the first time for everyone to encounter such an unprecedented crisis. At this time, the safest thing to do is to go home and be with your family.
Making money is important, but you also have to spend your life!
"Many of them are migrant workers. The reason why they did not go back is to take advantage of the opportunity to make more money. Many of them do not believe in the so-called doomsday."
"That's okay, you can do whatever you want!"
Zhang Hao took advantage of the situation and agreed.
In the dream, he had also been a worker for more than ten years and knew how difficult it was for workers.
Sometimes it's really "a penny can stump a heroic man".
Zhang Jiayi nodded and then changed the topic:
"Xiao Hao, I recently received news that there is a Pearl River Food Industrial Park less than thirty kilometers away from us, with complete supporting facilities.
The whole thing is currently for sale. I want to acquire it and use it as our food processing center to avoid having to build a new factory."
"Machining center? What to process?"
Zhang Hao was confused.
"Of course it's mushrooms and earthworms. After further processing, we can earn more."
"Okay, you figure it out!"
Zhang Jiayi frowned when she heard this: "I asked you to be more careful. After all, the company is yours. You can't just throw everything to me. If it were an outsider, you would have sold it long ago."
"Second sister, you are my biological sister, how can you harm me? Besides, if I don't trust you, who else can I trust? Tell me, how much does this acquisition cost? I will pay it directly to the company account later." p>
Zhang Hao shrugged his shoulders.
"You..." Zhang Jiayi was speechless for a moment. With such a younger brother on the stand, she could only accept her fate: "The other party offered 500 million. If you bargain, 300 million should be no problem."
"That's 500 million. With the remaining money, you can take the opportunity to buy a few more large trucks. You'll need them in the future."
Zhang Hao said simply.
"I know, I'm going out for a trip, please help me tell my mother."
Zhang Jiayi picked up the car keys and left.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask Captain Ma to accompany you. It will probably be very chaotic outside. You must be back before eight o'clock in the evening."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he picked up his cell phone and called Ma Ruijie.
Zhang Jiayi asked curiously: "Didn't Xiaoma have a holiday?"
"No, her parents have gone to her eldest sister's house. Now she is renting a house alone. She might as well stay in our house. At least it is safer than living alone."
"Okay, I'll wait for her at the door."
Zhang Jiayi did not refuse.
The series of successful predictions made by her younger brother made her no longer dare to look down on him, and she even developed a blind trust. There are some things that she would rather believe than not.
……
Not long after Zhang Jiayi left, Zhang Chongxin came back from outside. When he saw his son in the living room, he threw him a gas mask.
"Dad, what is this?"
Zhang Hao looked stunned.
"I just went to the town for a meeting. The town plans to set up a security patrol brigade, which will be directly led by the town branch. Each family must have one person, except women and the elderly. You are the only one in our family who meets the requirements."
Zhang Chongxin explained casually.
"Isn't it okay if I don't go? I can donate some money to them." Zhang Hao said with reluctance.
It’s so comfortable to lie down at home, why are you asking for trouble?
"No, the town is not short of money at all. If you go there, you will get a thousand yuan subsidy every day. Why can't others go if they want to? Besides, this is the obligation of residents. Don't always think about opportunism. It is not good for our family.
”
Zhang Chongxin said sincerely.
"Okay! When will we gather?"
"At eight o'clock in the evening, meet at the door of the police station."
"What about the second sister's house? Do we need help?"
Zhang Hao then asked.
Zhang Chongxin nodded: "Kevin will go to your second sister's house, and your uncle and nephew just have someone to take care of you."
"Second brother-in-law, why don't you go?"
"Kevin himself requested it. Steven has a bad lumbar spine, and this kid is also very filial."
"Alas!" Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh, "I really hope that Big Pudding and his two brothers can grow up quickly, and I can retire and enjoy happiness."
Zhang Chongxin was so angry that he itched his teeth: "Can you please give me some face? Look at your potential, I'm embarrassed to talk about you, how old are Da Pudding and the others?"
"Hey, I'm just kidding."
Zhang Hao smiled.
"Stop dawdling." Zhang Chongxin waved his hand, "Go back to your room and take a nap. You have to stay up late at night. I'll wake you up again during dinner."
"Okay, by the way, let Aunt Lisa make us a pot of coffee. This thing will refresh us."
After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the basement.
Zhang Chongxin suddenly asked in confusion: "Where are you going?"
"There are stab-proof suits in the basement. I want to bring two of them up. By the way, can I bring my own weapons?"
Zhang Hao replied casually.
"Weapons? What weapons are there?"
"Captain Fang and others prepared them. They mainly include electric batons and daggers. Others are inconvenient to carry."
