Huo Dalong sat down on the ground, got up, rushed towards Zhou Zichen, hugged Zhou Zichen and pushed him back.
Zhou Zichen was pushed back and forth, and did not stop until he bumped into his own car. The two of them were still fighting and cursing.
Wang Ziqi watched from the side and did not go up to dissuade him. With Zhou Zichen's ability, if he really wanted to fight, Huo Dalong would have to go to the hospital. Huo Dalong would not be able to push Zhou Zichen.
While the two were beating Huo Dalong, he burst into tears. Zhou Zichen hugged Huo Dalong's shoulders and said, "We both grew up under the watch of the dean and grandma. We played with mud together, fought together, and picked up garbage to sell together. We said it when we were young,
Whoever is prosperous will support others, raise orphanages, and let everyone else have free food. I know you want us to have free food. I'm sorry, I'm one step ahead of you."
Huo Dalong suddenly stopped crying and stood up. His eyes were still red, but he was no longer as reserved as before. He smiled and said loudly: "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."
Zhou Zichen also smiled: "What to eat?"
“Skewer!”
Wang Ziqi opened the car door and regained her true self: "It's shameless for a big man to cry, so get up and go, I'm hungry."
The three of them found a barbecue stall that opened earlier. Wang Ziqi first ordered ten skewers of grilled squid and a few skewers of roasted peppers. Zhou Zichen ordered twenty skewers of grilled lamb and two eggplants.
After the two of them finished ordering, Huo Dalong added some more dishes, and the three of them chatted around the small table while eating.
"Where have you been these past years? You don't write the shipping address when you send anything. Your phone number is always turned off, so I can't contact you!" Zhou Zichen said, raising a beer bottle and touching it with the two of them.
After taking a sip of beer, Huo Dalong said: "After leaving the orphanage, I originally thought that as long as I was willing to work and contribute, I could always make money. However, due to lack of social experience, I ran into obstacles everywhere. No one wanted to move bricks on the construction site.
Later, I worked as a cook in a restaurant, with food and accommodation included, and the salary was not high, so I could save a little and still have some money left over."
The three of them chatted for more than an hour while eating and drinking. Huo Dalong recounted what happened after leaving the orphanage from beginning to end.
When Huo Dalong was working as a cook, he met a group of big workers on the construction site, that is, the masters of bricklaying. Because he couldn't find suitable small workers, Huo Dalong felt that the construction site paid well, so he quit his job in the restaurant and went to work as a small worker on the construction site.
The income of a small-time worker is pretty good. At a high level, I can earn about 6,000 yuan a month, and at a low level, it can be as low as 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. I live on the construction site and have food included. I save some money by frugally.
Later, Huo Dalong came up with the idea of finding his biological parents. Although he was looking for a needle in a haystack, he finally found them with the help of government departments.
However, the situation at home was a bit bad. There were two brothers and two sisters. When he was a child, because his father was in poor health and the family could not afford to raise so many children, the youngest Huo Dalong was sent to an orphanage.
In fact, Huo Dalong's parents often came to the orphanage to visit him, but Huo Dalong didn't know it at that time.
The family was so poor that it was a problem to eat, and it was even more difficult for the children to go to school. Therefore, his brothers and sisters were basically uneducated. In this era, it was not easy to make money without education. Moreover, they got married one after another and had children, so they had less time to take care of the elderly.
Less.
When Huo Dalong went back, his parents' house was almost a garbage dump. Fortunately, there were subsidies from the state, so he was not hungry, but it was difficult to eat meat. The two of them had to buy some painkillers to support their ailments.
Huo Dalong recognized his parents at a glance as his uncle and aunt who often visited him, and decided to stay at that time.
While he has to send things to the orphanage and donate some money, he also has to pay for his parents' medical expenses and living expenses. It is also difficult for Huo Dalong, who works as a part-time worker, to afford it.
Later, Huo Dalong learned from his master to lay bricks, paint walls, and install templates. He could earn an income of 300 yuan a day, but sometimes he had free time, so he found a part-time job distributing leaflets when he had time.
Even with a monthly income of about 10,000 yuan, Huo Dalong's life is still not easy. His family's house is still a tile-roofed house, and his parents are looking forward to him getting a wife. All these things cost money, but he can't save much in a year.
Zhou Zichen patted Huo Dalong on the shoulder: "It doesn't matter, your parents are my parents. I will go with you to visit my uncle and aunt another day."
Wang Ziqi also interjected: "I want to go too."
Huo Dalong opened his mouth and finally nodded: "Okay, wait until there is time."
Zhou Zichen picked up the wine bottle and found it was empty again. He grabbed three bottles from the box and said, "Mine is empty, don't be lazy!"
While talking, Zhou Zichen picked up the bottle opener and opened three bottles of wine, one for each person, touched each bottle, took a big gulp, picked up a skewer of roast mutton, bit off half of it in one bite, and asked: "Dalong, you don't have any
What are you thinking about doing?"
Zhou Zichen knew that Huo Dalong had a strong self-esteem, so he would definitely not accept the money directly.
Huo Dalong also picked up a skewer: "I think, I have only worked on construction sites in these years, and I only know about construction sites."
Wang Ziqi is the kind of person who just does what she says. While eating grilled squid, she said: "Just do it if you want to do it. Don't be afraid of doing things. If you are afraid, you won't get anything done."
Huo Dalong sighed: "A general large project can easily cost tens of millions. Some materials and workers' wages have to be paid in advance. Moreover, such a project requires a construction team. There are several levels of the construction team. You have to reach a certain level.
The level depends on the number of engineers and fixed workers. If there is a project, there will be people to work on it. Calculated in this way, the investment will be reduced by several million, which I can't even imagine."
"I have considered small projects. In rural areas, many people who work outside directly contract the house to the master. The owner does not care about anything. He only gives you the drawings and tells you his requirements, and you just make it."
"The main body of such a house is about 200,000 yuan, and it can earn at least 30,000 to 50,000 yuan."
Zhou Zichen didn't understand these things, but thirty to fifty thousand didn't seem to be much: "It takes a few months at least to build a house. It's only thirty to fifty thousand?"
When he mentioned this, Huo Dalong also became excited. He picked up the wine bottle and touched it with the two of them. He waved his hands repeatedly: "You are right about the number. Go to the countryside and have a look. In a village, there are at least five or six buildings a year."
Houses and decorations, as long as you have enough manpower and can contract enough houses to be built, five, six, or even a dozen houses can be built together. The more materials you can buy, the cheaper it is. You can earn at least 50,000 yuan per house.
At the end of the day, ten buildings are worth half a million."
"How many counties and villages are there in our city? If we can do this, we can build 100 houses a year and the profit will be 5 million."
"Besides, this is just the main body. If the decoration can be contracted and the income is the same, if you start the business in a village and someone builds a house in the village, they will come back to you."
Zhou Zichen is not very interested in three to five million a year, but if he can help Huo Dalong do it, he is still very willing: "Then why don't you do it?"
Huo Dalong shook his head repeatedly: "I'm doing this now. There are many people. I don't dare to take on too many families. I'll take over one by myself and find a small worker to help me. Usually for this kind of work, I have to pay part of the wages in advance. If I take on more
I can’t afford the salary advance.”
Wang Ziqi is a more pragmatic person: "It's also an advance payment, why not join the engineering team?"
"I don't have the network of the engineering team, I don't have the money, and the one-time investment is too big, and I can't manage it well. If I can do it in rural areas and have some experience, I can cooperate with real estate developers or do government projects."
Be more steady." Huo Dalong is not a reckless person, it seems that he has considered this aspect.
Wang Ziqi continued to ask: "Can the rural debts be collected?"
"We have to pursue it. Usually we can get it back during the New Year. Some of it will take a long time, but the same goes for the engineering team. They owe more money." Huo Dalong said.
Wang Ziqi thought for a while and said: "Should we open a decoration company in the city? Many people who buy rough houses need to decorate them, so we can take over and do it. And even if the ones in rural areas become bigger, we still need to be a company.
Yes, no one cares about it when it is small, but it will be investigated when it gets bigger. It doesn’t matter whether the company in the city can receive work. What is important is that it can’t leave any trouble for the company to grow in the future. If you don’t register the company, it is tax evasion.
"
Zhou Zichen also understood the general idea and nodded repeatedly: "I think Ziqi is right. Why don't you invest in you and you will manage the construction site, recruit people, and take over the work. I will provide the money and I will take half of the profits."
Huo Dalong looked up at Zhou Zichen, and Zhou Zichen looked directly at Huo Dalong: "It's up to you whether you do it or not. The accounts have to be checked. I don't care about the management."
Huo Dalong hesitated for a long time, finished a bottle of beer, and then ate two skewers before saying: "Okay, I want 30%, that's enough. I'm just trying my best."
Zhou Zichen smiled slightly and picked up the bottle: "According to what I said, you are the key point. I just contributed the money. We will discuss the establishment of the company in a later day. You can consider recruiting all the people you can find."
Find him and take on all the jobs he can."
"Okay, I'll go find someone tomorrow!" Huo Dalong also picked up the newly opened wine, touched it, and drank half the bottle in one gulp.
There may have been some unfamiliarity when we first met, but our relationship will not change after living together for eighteen years. The more the three of us chatted, the happier they became.
I ate a barbecue for several hours.
After having enough wine and food, Huo Dalong had his own place to live and left by himself.
Zhou Zichen sent Wang Ziqi to the orphanage and then returned home.
I went out in the morning, played skewers from noon until the afternoon, and now it’s already past six o’clock in the afternoon.
"Wow... wow..."
A siren sounded. Zhou Zichen glanced in the rearview mirror and saw four or five fire trucks speeding from behind.
Zhou Zichen calmly changed lanes to give way. He was going to put out the fire and it was extremely urgent.
When Zhou Zichen turned a corner, he found that the fire truck that had just passed was downstairs where he lived. This was a three-story private house. The landlord bought another house and rented out the entire building. Zhou Zichen rented two
Because the building is too old, no one is renting the first and third floors.
It was still afternoon. According to the time, Tian Huizhen was still tutoring Wang Xiaotao. Thinking of this, Zhou Zichen didn't care so much. He felt a kick on the accelerator and accelerated directly over, startling the people watching on the side.
While giving way, he pointed at the car and cursed.
Zhou Zichen quickly got out of the car and rushed upstairs without saying a word.
Now let alone the second floor, a raging fire has been ignited on the first floor, and even the firefighters dare not rush in easily.
"Comrade, comrade, what do you want to do?" a firefighter shouted quickly.
The firefighter who was pulling the water pipe quickly threw the water pipe and rushed towards Zhou Zichen, trying to stop Zhou Zichen.
Zhou Zichen pushed hard, and the firefighter was pushed to the ground before he could touch Zhou Zichen.
Firefighters from all around also rushed over to help, and some were still shouting: "Young man, don't go in, there's a lot of fire and smoke inside, and you'll die if you go in!"
Several firefighters directly blocked the entrance to the stairs with their bodies, and several others rushed to stop Zhou Zichen, but they couldn't stop them at all. Zhou Zichen was able to knock them all down with a casual flip.
"Brother Zichen!" Just when Zhou Zichen was about to rush into the stairs, Wang Zitao's voice came from behind.
Zhou Zichen stopped and looked back, only to see Tian Huizhen wearing a pair of jeans, a loose sweater and a ponytail, holding vegetables in one hand and holding Wang Zitao in the other.
Zhou Zichen suddenly felt relieved. Fortunately, what he was worried about didn't happen. He was afraid that the two of them were still upstairs.
