After Qin Hai had dinner at Fu Wenbin's house, it was already dark. Since the ferry on the river stopped at night, Qin Hai was unable to cross the river and had to stay in the guest house on the farm for the night before rushing back to the Iron and Steel Company the next morning.
factory.
Qin Hai's delay caused great pain to Wang Xiaodong, who was imprisoned by Ning Mo. Ning Mo strictly carried out Qin Hai's instructions, depriving Wang Xiaodong of food before Qin Hai came back, and forcing him to copy English all the time.
Words. At first, Wang Xiaodong planned to use excuses such as headache, inability to remember, sore hands, etc. to escape. However, Ning Mo took care of him and had no choice but to comply obediently because he was hungry.
When Qin Hai finally returned to the steel factory, Wang Xiaodong had been hungry for almost 20 hours and was sitting in the small room with no energy at all.
"What are your thoughts?" Qin Hai came to the small room, sat opposite Wang Xiaodong and asked him.
"Brother Qin, I was wrong." Wang Xiaodong said pitifully.
"Where did you go wrong?" Qin Hai asked again.
"I'm sorry for my sister, I shouldn't have snatched her watch."
"anything else?"
"Also...my sister is very good to me, and I will definitely treat her well in the future."
"anything else?"
"And..." Wang Xiaodong scratched his head and couldn't think of any other faults worth mentioning. He felt that the reason why he was beaten was because he took Wang Xiaochen's watch. Now that he had admitted his mistake, what else did Qin Hai have to do wrong?
What about the place where you let yourself go?
"Let me take a look at the words you copied." Qin Hai stretched out his hand to Wang Xiaodong.
Wang Xiaodong hurriedly handed over a stack of paper full of writing. In order to avoid Qin Hai's trouble, he only slept for three hours last night. The rest of the time, he kept copying words. He had already copied them out.
There are fifty or sixty pages, and a large pile of paper is piled together, which looks spectacular.
"Well, the copying is pretty good, and the writing is pretty neat... Why does the writing at the back become more ugly?" When Qin Hai turned to the back, his eyes widened again.
"Brother Qin, I can't copy anymore." Wang Xiaodong said with a cry, "I haven't copied so many words in more than two years of high school. Look, my hands are almost swollen from copying..."
"Hmph, you have the nerve to say that?" Qin Hai put the pile of paper on the table next to him and said, "You haven't even copied these dozens of pages in more than two years, what have you been doing?
"
"I...I was a bit exaggerated." Wang Xiaodong realized that Qin Hai had caught him again, and quickly changed his words, "Actually, I sometimes copy words, but...just...I didn't copy as well as yesterday.
That’s all.”
Qin Haidao: "I am now officially informing you that you don't have to go to school for the time being. During this period, you will live in the steel factory. I will take care of your food and drink. This is the timetable I have given you. You should follow it.
If you can't do it, don't blame your brother Ning Mo for not knowing what's important."
When Qin Hai mentioned Ning Mo, Wang Xiaodong shrank his neck subconsciously. Ning Mo's attacks were indeed a bit light, his fists were half as big as Wang Xiaodong's head, and he could just hit any part of Wang Xiaodong's body.
It was just a bruise. Wang Xiaodong took the list handed to him by Qin Hai and took a look at it, and suddenly he even wanted to die:
Copy 50 pages of words every day;
Do 100 math problems every day;
Recite ancient prose 3 times a day, covering all ancient prose in high school textbooks;
Read 100 pages of history textbook every day;
Read 100 pages of geography textbook every day;
Go to the workshop and work hard for two hours every day...
"Brother Qin, I can't complete so many tasks every day!" Wang Xiaodong said with a sad face.
"Don't even think about eating until you finish." Qin Hai said calmly.
"Brother Qin, you can't treat me like this. I'll sue my sister!" Wang Xiaodong was anxious. He finally remembered that his sister could be his talisman. Why did Qin Hai treat him like this?
Qin Hai was amused: "Wang Xiaodong, how can you sue your sister? Your sister doesn't even know you are in the steel factory. She thought you were studying hard in school. I will tell her that you have decided to change your past. In the next two years,
You haven't left school for months. Do you think your sister will know what you are doing?"
"Brother Qin..." Wang Xiaodong had a helpless feeling. He had offended someone. Isn't this equivalent to being sent to a labor camp? He was waiting to find some more reasons to argue, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone from the corner of his eye.
Ning Mo walked past the door, swallowing the words that came to her mouth involuntarily.
Qin Hai pointed at the list and said: "To be honest, I didn't plan to care about you. I did it for your sister's sake and couldn't bear to see her sad. Since you don't want to study in school, then I will
You arrange a learning environment. I have already said hello to your teacher. In the next two months, you will stay here honestly, complete these tasks, and wait until next year to take the exam for a technical secondary school and get rid of your sister's
My wish. You have been pampered too much. If you don’t take care of yourself, you will be useless."
"Can I get into a technical secondary school if I do this?" Wang Xiaodong asked somewhat arrogantly.
Qin Haidao: "If you fail to pass the exam, I will pay to buy a game room for you to play as much as you want."
"But... what should I do if I can't do 100 math problems every day?" Wang Xiaodong also had new questions.
Qin Haidao: "I will arrange for students from the School of Engineering to give you lectures. You can also read the answers to the exercises and copy them once. You can complete the task. Just follow my method. If you don't pass the technical secondary school, I will take your last name.
.”
"Okay...Brother Qin, I have one more thing." Wang Xiaodong said.
"What else?"
"I'm hungry……"
"Do 20 math problems first, and then you can eat after you finish them!"
Wang Xiaodong was left in the steel factory like this, and it was euphemistically called "supervised learning." In the first few days, he was worried that Qin Hai and Ning Mo would beat him, but he couldn't stand such a high intensity of study, and he was extremely depressed. After a while, he was worried that Qin Hai and Ning Mo would beat him.
Later, he found that as long as he was obedient and studied hard, Qin Hai would still take good care of him, so he gradually became more courageous, and his life in the steel factory became more relaxed.
Studying, to put it bluntly, is a habit. After getting through the initial pain, Wang Xiaodong found that it was not impossible to study according to the plan every day. Martial arts novels and game consoles became things beyond his reach, so he
Just like other senior high school students, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their homework.
Training Wang Xiaodong is just a tidbit in Qin Hai's daily life. Wang Xiaochen takes good care of him, and he has always regarded Wang Xiaochen as a big sister next door. It is reasonable to lend a helping hand when encountering such a thing.
.
The news from Qujiang Farm came back quickly. The leaders of the farm unanimously agreed that the cement factory and Qin Hai would form a joint venture, and also agreed that Qin Hai would have a controlling stake in the cement factory. Those leaders were also concerned about the situation of the cement factory.
They all understand it very well and know that it has long been hopeless. Now that someone is willing to take over, there is no reason why they should not support it.
As the exported military shovels were delivered one after another, the military's payment was gradually received. Qin Minghua's Baihe Agricultural Machinery Factory account had hundreds of thousands of working capital, which Qin Hai could use at will. He set aside 50,000 yuan for
Qujiang Farm, in exchange for absolute control of Qujiang Cement Plant. Then, he took the technicians and workers of the cement plant to start the trial production of fast-hardening cement.
Ordinary fast-hardening cement is not a high-tech technology. It is just that the raw material formula is different from that of general Portland cement, and the fineness of stone crushing has been improved. Qin Hai spent a few days in Qujiang Cement Factory and successfully
Qualified fast-hardening cement was burned, and cement factory workers also mastered related skills.
"So this thing is so simple?" Zhao Bing, the director of the cement factory, walked around the cement block where he was doing the experiment several times, clicking his tongue repeatedly and sighing with emotion.
"Simple? Why can't you do it?" Fu Wenbin stared at Zhao Bing and lectured. Seeing the new products of the cement factory coming out, his heart was also full of joy. Qin Hai had accomplished the first step he said, so
Are the next steps still far behind?
Qin Haidao: "The quick-hardening cement we are burning at the moment is just the most common model. Let's try it first. However, even for such a product, I believe there will be very good sales. When this product is stable
After that, we will explore other models, but it will not be so easy then."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. As long as Qin Gong is here, no matter how big the problem is, it won't be a problem." Zhao Bing chuckled and complimented. This is no longer the opinion of Zhao Bing alone, but the consensus of all cadres and workers in the entire cement factory.
.
Just as Qin Hai predicted, this new cement product, which had never appeared in An Ho Province, attracted the interest of many users. The first buyer Qin Hai found was the An Ho Provincial Military Region. After seeing the fast-hardening cement,
After the on-site effect demonstration, Yue Guoyang immediately decided to purchase 500 tons. The wholesale price per ton is 100 yuan, which is nearly twice as high as conventional Portland cement. The army often involves some engineering repair work. This kind of
Fast-hardening cement can play a special role in this type of work.
With the demonstration of the Provincial Military Region, other units in the province have also dispelled their doubts about this little-known Qujiang Cement Plant, and have issued orders one after another, requesting the purchase of fast-hardening cement to meet some special operational needs within this system.
The Department of Transportation needed this cement for quick road repairs, and the Department of Water Resources decided to stockpile some of this cement to prepare for emergency repairs of water conservancy projects in the next rainy season. For a time, Qujiang Cement Factory became a hot name in many construction units in Anhe Province.
, which made the big cement factories in the province so jealous that their eyes were bleeding.
Payments for goods were transferred to Qujiang Farm's account one after another, and the figures from the accounting report made Fu Wenbin dizzy. The wages of employees who had been overdue for a long time began to be paid one after another, and the employees counted the rattling banknotes.
, while discussing a name that can turn stone into gold: Qin Hai. (To be continued.)
