"Lao Li, how are you? Do you want to go with us or rest at home?" Uncle Long turned around and asked.
"My old man is getting older. I don't want to go out with you in this hot weather. I'd better enjoy my happiness at home! By the way, Yun Cong, you and Wenwen are not going this time. I still have some questions to ask.
you!"
Hearing this, Zhuang Wen was fine, but Li Yuncong, who liked the excitement, was somewhat reluctant. But since the old man had spoken, even if he was unwilling, he would not dare to disobey it!
Therefore, under Liu Dong's watch, Li Yuncong had no choice but to follow Mr. Li back full of resentment.
"Mr. Li, can I drive you this time?" Because there are too many people on Antique Street, it is not convenient to drive out from Taiyi Pavilion.
"Oh, when did you learn to drive?"
"Haha, Yun Cong taught me some time ago!"
"Okay, it will be easier to do things now that we have a car!" He nodded, then told Mu Gang to look at the store, and the two of them arrived at the gate of the antique city together.
"Xiaodong, isn't this car a new one for you?" The old man asked with a smile after looking at the red Audi car and sizing it around.
"You really have a sharp eye. This car belongs to my girlfriend. She has a day off today, so I drove it out." Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Girlfriend? You kid, haven't you been single before? When did you get a girlfriend?" Uncle Long naturally knew very well about Liu Dong's situation, so he was somewhat surprised after hearing what he said.
"Hehehe, I just handed it in some time ago. When I have time, I will bring it over for you to take a look at!"
"That's a good feeling!"
…
In the meantime, Liu Dong called Sun Yujun, told him his address, and asked him to help carry the wool. Liu Dong drove Uncle Long, and under his command, drove toward the northwest of Quancheng along Wei Twelve Road.
The surrounding buildings are getting lower and dilapidated, and the distance to the destination is getting closer.
After exiting the second ring road, you can already see large wheat fields around you.
"Okay, we're just ahead!"
Hearing Uncle Long's words, Liu Dong also saw a large building a hundred meters ahead, surrounded by a large wasteland and covering a large area. However, all buildings were surrounded by a wall nearly three meters high.
"Uncle Long, is this huge place your furniture factory?" Although I don't know how much land this building occupies, the length of the wall is more than 500 meters.
"Yes!" After agreeing, Uncle Long showed a trace of memory on his face.
"This used to be the largest paper mill in Quancheng City, and even the largest in the entire Dongshan Province! But after the reform and opening up, this paper mill, like most state-owned factories, became insolvent and bankrupt because of poor efficiency.
Because the equipment in the factory was too old and it was in the suburbs, no one was willing to take over. In the end, the workers had no choice but to sell the machines in the factory as scrap metal. This was to compensate for the debt they had owed over the years.
salary."
"In the end, all that was left of this huge paper mill was a bunch of empty houses, and no one wanted to buy them!"
"At that time, it was 1992, when the country was completely liberalized and supported the development of the private economy. At that time, I had always wanted to build a furniture factory to carry forward the things passed down by my ancestors. So I spent all my savings at that time.
I came out and bought this abandoned paper mill. Now it’s almost eight years! Eight years, time flies so fast!”
Seeing the sigh of relief on Uncle Long's face, Liu Dong nodded silently.
Decades of life may seem very long, but excluding the time for eating, sleeping, etc., half of it has been removed. Perhaps inadvertently, decades have passed by in a hurry.
"My future must be more exciting!" Liu Dong thought silently in his heart.
…
When Liu Dong's car drove to the door, someone had already pushed open the four-meter-wide steel door.
"Let's go, drive right in!"
Hearing Uncle Long's words, Liu Dong turned the steering wheel and turned in along the gate. After walking in, Liu Dong realized that the factory area was really huge. There was a four-meter-wide concrete straight road in the center that extended for more than a hundred meters and led straight to the factory.
In front of a two-story building at the back, Liu Dong couldn't see what was behind the building because his line of sight was blocked. However, on both sides of this straight road, there were rows of rows of classrooms just like the classrooms when he was in junior high school.
Rows of tall houses.
Because it used to be a factory, almost every house is wide and tall. Liu Dong made a simple estimate and found that the width should be twenty-five meters, and the height should be at least ten meters, and the length would be even longer.
, almost every building is about 80 meters.
The windows of the house open very high, at least six or seven meters above the ground. It is impossible for ordinary people to climb up. As long as the door is closed, the things inside are safe.
And this is exactly what Liu Dong wants to see. His jadeite wool is a truly valuable thing, and if one piece is missing, it will be a loss of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. So he attaches great importance to safety.
"Uncle Long, there are so many houses here, I'm afraid most of them are not used, right?" Liu Dong looked at most of the tall houses guarded by General Tie and couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Yes, this place covers an area of more than 500 acres. How come my furniture factory uses so much! So more than 90% of the place here is empty!"
"Then why did you buy it in the first place?" Liu Dong asked curiously.
"Oh, I don't want it either, but they insisted on selling it to me at that time. When I thought about it, since they didn't let me spend more money, I just wanted it! Wouldn't I just buy it now?"
At that time, the Quancheng City government had no choice. After the factory went bankrupt, all the machines were gone. The location of the land was remote and the surrounding environment was not good. No one wanted to buy it. After a lot of effort, I caught Uncle Long wanting to buy it, so I simply sold it at a low price.
Give it to him! You must know that real estate at that time was not like it is now. Not only was it cheap, but no one realized the value of land! Of course, no one wanted land that could not be farmed in the suburbs!
While the two were talking, Liu Dong, under the command of Uncle Long, stopped in front of the first house on the left after entering.
After the two got off the car, especially after Liu Dong got off, the two big wolf dogs that were originally tied at the gate suddenly jumped out and barked at Liu Dong.
However, after being glared at by Liu Dong, the two dogs whimpered and jumped back with their tails between their legs.
Seeing this scene, a young man with a flat head and a height of about 1.8 meters walked over as the door was closing. His bulging muscles were exposed under a black vest. He walked with sonorous force and had a military spirit about him. He was surprised.
He glanced at Liu Dong, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Uncle Long, why are you here today? Where's Brother Gang, why aren't you with me?" The young man's tone was straightforward, but Liu Dong could see the respect this man had for Uncle Long from his eyes.
"Haha, you kid, you always ask so many questions. Gangzi is looking at the store, so this time I asked Xiaodong to come with me!"
"Oh, I forgot you don't know each other!"
"Come on, Xiaodong! Let me introduce to you, this is Guan Ping, who used to be a soldier! ...This is Liu Dong, please get to know him!"
"Liu Dong, are you Liu Dong?" Guan Ping sounded surprised.
"What? You knew me before!" Hearing the surprise in his tone, Liu Dong couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Yes, I often heard Brother Gang mention you before. He said that your kung fu is very powerful. I hope that if I have the opportunity in the future, I can compete with you!"
Seeing the fiery look in Guan Ping's eyes, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. He knew that he had met the same martial arts idiot as Mu Gang this time.
Later, when the two shook hands, Guan Ping used his strength. However, after the double cultivation last night and the improvement of his skills, Liu Dong believed that his strength was not much worse than Mu Gang. Therefore, Guan Ping naturally
Can't shake him.
"You are indeed as powerful as Brother Mu said!" Feeling the strength in Liu Dong's hand, Guan Ping's eyes became even more intense.
Watching the confrontation between the two, Uncle Long looked on with a smile and said nothing. It was not until the two stopped that Uncle Long asked: "Guan Ping, why are you, Tiezhu, Zhou Jun, Xiaofei and the others?
Where are three?”
"Oh, Uncle Long! Brother Jun took the two of them to inspect the factory area!" As soon as they finished speaking, several people heard the sound of running.
Soon three sturdy figures appeared in Liu Dong's eyes.
The first one was a man wearing a military green waistcoat, a pair of camouflage pants, and a pair of ordinary canvas rubber-soled shoes. But his slightly thin face had an aura of majesty, which certainly impressed Liu Dong.
The most profound thing is that there is a faint scar from the corner of his right eye to the cheekbone. It makes this face even more ferocious.
Following him was a slightly short and stocky man, but he was dressed in the same military style as him. However, he had a strong aura about him, especially his arms, which were thicker than the legs of an ordinary person.
He's rough, so he probably has kung fu in him.
But the last person made Liu Dong feel like he had met the twin brothers of Mu Gang. He was over 1.9 meters tall and nearly 2 meters tall. He was about the same stoutness as Mu Gang. He wore a simple red vest on his upper body.
The lower body is a pair of camouflage military trousers. When running, it makes people feel like the earth is shaking.
"Uncle Long, you're here. The dog bite was so severe just now. I thought it was attracting thieves?" The young man with a scar on his face first looked at Liu Dong with an indifferent expression, and then smiled at Liu Dong.
Uncle Long said.
"Haha, with you here, how can any unsighted thief dare to come here!"
"Uncle Long!"
"Uncle Long!" After the three people ran over, they all said hello to the old man! There was obvious respect in their expressions.
"Okay, stop reading! Gangzi didn't come with me today." Seeing the three people looking around, Uncle Long waved his hand and said. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better updates of the novel.
