“If it’s so unsafe, then why don’t the government people care about it?”
"Manage? There are only a few people in the government. How can they manage such a large mountainous area? Besides, without these miners, where will the money and water in the government, the police station, and the Bureau of Land and Resources come from?" the driver said sarcastically.
.
"Let me tell you, despite the dangers of mining, there are thousands of local miners who are not afraid of death, just pumping water, these officials can get millions every month! Such a thick
Oil and water, who is willing to give up!"
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded in agreement. Nowadays, he has dealt with government departments more than once or twice, including his companies. It is common for him to do things, treat guests to dinner, and even give gifts.
However, official corruption is not a big problem in Liu Dong's opinion. If the water is clear, there will be no fish! But if you are greedy and don't do things, you will die!
Along the way, he chatted with the driver about various local news about Qingtian stone mining in Qingtian County that he wanted to know. After driving on the winding road for more than half an hour, Liu Dong also arrived at his planned destination of Shankou Village, Shankou Town!
After giving the driver a thousand yuan, Liu Dong successfully made him his special car for two days! And Liu Dong's generosity also aroused the enthusiasm of the driver!
"Hey, boss! I know a lot of people in this Shankou Village. If you plan to buy Qingtian Stone, can I introduce it to you?" After closing the car door, the middle-aged driver said quickly.
Liu Dong rented his car anyway, so instead of being bored in the village, he might as well find something to do.
What if you can still make more money? You must know that this young man in front of you is a big donor!
"Okay, if the person you introduced to me really has high-quality Qingtian stone, you will benefit from it!" After thinking for a while, Liu Dong said with a smile.
These words hit the heart of the middle-aged driver, making him excited and active.
"Then let's go quickly. There are a lot of dealers collecting stones these days. Don't let them get the first step!" The middle-aged driver didn't show any courtesy. He pulled Liu Dong and walked towards the village.??
Shankou Village is not as poor as Liu Dong imagined. As soon as you enter the village, you can see that almost every household has built a two-story building. For this situation to occur in a mountainous area with not much cultivated land, it is obvious that the Qingtian Stone in the mountains is
The mine helped a lot.
However, compared to my hometown in the mountain village, the dress of the people here is not much different, but judging from their skin color and temperament, they now live more comfortably than the people in my hometown!
When people here saw Liu Dong, they didn't seem too surprised. Apparently, the villagers of Shankou Village have seen many guys like him who dress like city dwellers!
Under the guidance of the middle-aged driver, the two came to the door of a two-story small building near the center of the village. Compared with other buildings, this small building undoubtedly covers an area of nearly half more. It is obviously a wealthy family.
of!
"Boom!"
The middle-aged driver stepped forward and knocked on the two tall red-painted thin steel doors with a loud bang.
"Is anyone home?"
"Who?"
"Uncle Zhang, it's me! I own a second building for rent in the county!"
"Building 2?"
As the words of surprise came to mind, a sound of footsteps approaching from far away approached the door. After a few 'clang' sounds, the door on the left was opened.
A thin old man wearing a slightly shabby Chinese tunic jacket, gray trousers, and a pair of liberation shoes appeared in front of the two of them. His head was gray, his face was rough and rough, and he looked old.
"Uncle Zhang!"
"Well, Erdong, if you don't drive well in the county town, why are you here here?" After speaking, he took a quick look at Liu Dong and asked, "Who is this?"
"Uncle Zhang, let me introduce you! This is Mr. Liu from outside. He came to our village specifically to buy Qingtian stones. It just so happened that I brought him over this time. By the way, I will be a middleman and introduce him to you.
Come on!" Gou Erdong quickly introduced the cause and effect of the matter.
"Hello, old man!" Liu Dong stepped forward and said.
After nodding, he looked at Liu Dong again. The old man named Zhang waved to the two of them, "Come in!"
"Boss, let's go in!" Gou Erdong said quickly.
Liu Dong nodded and walked ahead.
After entering the door, Liu Dong took a brief look at the yard. It was a very ordinary farmyard. There were various sundries piled in the corners. Although it looked a bit old, it was neatly tidied up.
"Old man, who is here?"
As he spoke, an old lady dressed in ordinary clothes walked out of the main room, and behind him was a little bean sprout with a runny nose and wearing crotchless pants!
"Guests from outside, go and make a pot of tea!"
Hearing this, the old lady seemed to understand something. After looking at Liu Dong with curious eyes, she turned around and led the child in.
"Come on, come in!"
Liu Dong and Gou Erdong were led into the main room and sat down on the sofa for guests. After a while, the old woman's tea was also brought.
"Come, drink tea! Country people don't have much to offer, so don't turn your back on a sip of tea!"
"You're welcome!" Liu Dong said quickly.
After nodding, the old man surnamed Zhang said: "Young man, judging from your accent, you are from Shandong, right?"
"You are so awesome, I am from Shandong!"
"Hi, over the years we have merchants from all over the world who have bought Qingtian stones here, and there are even more of you from Shandong. The old man has listened a lot and understood a lot!" the old man said with a hint of complacency.
"Uncle Zhang, let's go take a look at the Qingtian Stone. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem to just chat here!" Gou Erdong said quickly.
He also wanted to take Liu Dong to visit a few more places before it got dark!
"You're such an impatient kid! Okay, let's see something first and let's go!"
With that said, the old man surnamed Zhang stood up, led Liu Dong out of the main room, opened the door of the wing on the left, and led the two of them in.
"These are all accumulated in the past. Now that people are old and can't do anything anymore, these are the only things left. See if you like any of them? If so, move them out and let's discuss the price!"
After the old man finished speaking, Liu Dong had already followed the direction of his finger and saw the Qingtian stones piled up in the room.
In a space with an area of only twenty to thirty square meters, there are no less than a hundred pieces of Qingtian stone, large and small. Logically speaking, it should be quite a lot. But after Liu Dong looked at it, he didn't like any of them.
There is neither Fengmen Qing nor Huang Huang Yao, and almost every piece of Qingtian stone is not transparent and pure in color. Although there are a few pieces of Tianbai that are of medium quality, Liu Dong still doesn't like them.
However, this situation is understandable. He is not the only person who went to the countryside to buy Qingtian stones, and there must be many people looking for Mr. Zhang. If there were high-quality Qingtian stones here, they would have been taken away long ago.
It's his turn there.
However, Liu Dong also believed that a person like this who has been quarrying all his life must have a lot of good stuff at the bottom of the box at home. But it depends on whether this person is willing to take it out and sell it.
Thinking of this, Liu Dong exited the room.
"What? You didn't even fancy a piece?" Seeing Liu Dong's empty hands, Gou Erdong became anxious.
It’s understandable that Liu Dong returned empty-handed, and he probably wouldn’t get any money either.
After nodding towards him, Liu Dong walked to the old man named Zhang and said: "Old man, I want to buy two pieces of high-quality goods when I come down this time! If you have them here, I am willing to pay 10% higher than the market price.
Price to buy!”
"10% higher than the market price?"
Mr. Zhang showed some hesitation on his face.
"I still have a piece of good stuff at the bottom of the box here. If you are really willing to pay a high price, I can sell it to you!" Although he said this, there was still some hesitation on the face of the old man surnamed Zhang. After all, Liu
Dong's age is too young.
As the saying goes: ‘Nothing can be done without talking’. Although it is not absolute, there is some truth in it. Young people’s unstable temperament and impulsive character do not allow people to entrust them with important tasks in many situations!
Mr. Zhang also had some doubts about how much money Liu Dong had and whether he could afford his high-quality Qingtian stone.
Liu Dong is not stupid and can guess what the other party is thinking.
Therefore, Liu Dong took off the backpack he had been carrying on his back and opened the zipper, revealing all unopened hundred-dollar bills.
This was before Liu Dong went to the countryside. Considering that he came across the Qingtian stone he liked and it would be more convenient to buy it with money, he specially prepared it in advance!
The red banknotes are so touching. Whether it is the old man surnamed Zhang or Gou Erdong on the side, after seeing the stack of banknotes in Liu Dong's bag, their faces invariably showed a bit of greed!
Seeing their expressions, Liu Dong smiled. Although it is an ancient saying that "don't reveal your wealth," Liu Dong was confident that no one could take the money away from him.
"How's it going? The old man shouldn't have any doubts now, right?" After closing his backpack, Liu Dong looked at the two people who were breathing a little heavier and smiled.
"You guys wait here for a moment while I go in and take out the things!" The well-informed old man quickly regained his composure and confessed before turning around and walking into the main room.
From his slightly anxious pace, it was obvious that he was already eager for this deal.
And this was obviously what Liu Dongre had done.
Compared with meaningless words, it is easier to convince people by obvious money.
"Don't worry, as long as Mr. Gou can help, I will definitely not treat him badly in the end!" With that said, Liu Dong casually took a wad of money from his backpack and handed it over.
"Take it!"
"How embarrassing is this!"
Even though he said this, Gou Erdong acted quickly and was not as embarrassed as he said.
"Good guy, this guy is so generous. I feel the thickness, it should be more than a thousand yuan! I deserve my wealth today, I really met a noble person!"
Regardless of what Gou Erdong was thinking, Liu Dong smiled slightly when he saw his blushing face and eager expression on his face.
For Liu Dong today, this method of controlling his subordinates is already familiar! (To be continued.)
