Great Power Project

Chapter 266 Kindness is rewarded with kindness (addition for the leader Ye Heng!)
Xia Xue stayed in Yu Qingyang's dormitory until eleven o'clock before returning to the car.

……

Five-star red flag fluttering in the wind
How loud is the victory singing
Sing our dear motherland

From now on to prosperity and strength...

The next morning, loud singing echoed through the camp.

After singing, continue to run with everyone.

After five laps, free time.

After breakfast, two pallet trucks dragged two excavators and left the camp.

Yesterday the technical department and the construction department were laying out the line on No. [-] road. Today, the two excavators are going to dig side ditches and prepare soil for the roadbed.

Africa belongs to the tropics. Although Africa is arid, the amount of rainfall is not small in the rainy season.

And the rainfall will be more concentrated.

Therefore, in Africa, especially in tropical and subtropical countries, side ditches need to be dug on both sides of the road.

Dig side ditches on both sides and raise the roadbed. This is the easiest and cheapest way to protect the roadbed from being damaged by rainwater.

On the African side, Yu Qingyang bought a total of ten excavators and fifty dump trucks.

There are also ten forklifts, five road rollers, three motor graders, and two abg pavers.

Once you accept this kind of task, it's like opening Pandora's box and you can't stop.

The state will continue to assign construction assistance tasks to you, and you will take the initiative to fight for construction assistance projects.

Although it is hard to do projects in Africa, the profits are high!
The project cost is based on the price of international bidding.

Including the various expenses for dispatching personnel from China, in fact, all of them can be reflected in the budget.

The price of building materials is high, and the wages of domestic skilled workers are high, it doesn't matter!

Just adjust the material price and labor price of the budget.

The labor cost in the budget is universal, but the wages of skilled workers in China are high, while the wages of workers in Africa are low!

Outrageously low.

Twenty years later, the salary of a laborer in Africa is only about 20 yuan, and that of a skilled worker is about 20 yuan.

Now?

A family of more than ten people can work hard for a day, and a square of stones can be transported.

A square of stones can be exchanged for six yuan and forty cents for food and water.

But look outside the camp.

There is already a long queue.

That's why Yu Qingyang bought all new construction machinery in Africa.

Sourcing construction machinery directly in Africa.

The price is much cheaper than buying at home.

As long as he does not consign the construction machinery back to China, there will be no problem.

Trading points, long queues.

Some didn't leave yesterday, and some rushed over early in the morning!
Today is no longer a mouthful of stones.

Everyone learn and use.

Ten forklifts were also brought to the scene.

The bucket of the forklift is large, and it can hold more than two parties when fully loaded, so twenty bowls of white noodles and twenty bottles of mineral water are directly placed on the table.

The [-]-liter mineral water bottle was not enough, so the purchasing department directly found a [-]-liter pure water bucket.

One forklift of stones is exchanged for two buckets of water and twenty bowls of flour.

Don't get me wrong, it's not pure water and mineral water, but water from a water truck.

Buckets and mineral water bottles are just units of measurement.

After measuring, it should be poured into the container brought by the Berbers.

In order to reassure the Berbers, the buyer also gave a special demonstration.

Pour ten bottles of mineral water into the bucket, just enough to fill one bucket with water.

The trading window has been increased, so although there are more people coming today, the speed is faster than yesterday.

Chen Xiang no longer went to buy stones himself, but just moved a chair under the sun umbrella to support his subordinates.

Just when Chen Xiang was blinded by the sun and seemed to be asleep, one of his buyers shouted loudly: "Boss, come here!"

"Xiao, what's the matter?" Chen Xiang walked over.

"Boss, look, are these two holding wood, or..." Xiao Shi pointed to a pair of teenagers and girls in front of the table in embarrassment.

These two seem to be brother and sister, about eleven or twelve years old.

Africans are not very good at estimating age.

Maybe because of lack of nutrition, fifteen or sixteen years old look like 11 years old, which is normal.

This pair of brothers and sisters are very thin, very thin!
The head is big and the neck is thin, like a match against a ping pong ball.

The two struggled to hold a piece of wood that looked rotten, blinking their black eyes, and looked at Shi and Chen Xiang with prayers.

Chen Xiang understood what he was told to do when he was young.

They will definitely not accept such rotten wood.

But the situation of the siblings, no one can say anything about the rejection.

"Take it, are these things okay?" Chen Xiang pushed five bottles of water and five bowls of noodles forward without hesitation.

The two siblings nodded vigorously.

Happy smiling.

The black eyes are as pure as the starry sky.

Looking at it, Chen Xiang was worried for a while, afraid that they would nod too much and break their necks.

The two siblings lifted the rotten wood to the open space, took flour and water, and left happily.

The look of happiness on the faces of the two brothers and sisters would melt the iron man.

Everyone's happiness is different. In the eyes of the two brothers and sisters, having something to eat and not going hungry is the happiest thing.

"Director Chen, those two siblings are orphans.

They have been dependent on each other for six or seven years. Many people thought they would not survive, but they have been tenaciously alive. "The translator who worked with Xiao Xiao whispered.

"How did you know?"

"Listen to what they said, African brothers also like to gossip!" The translator pointed to the Berbers waiting outside for food.

Of course, this pair of brothers and sisters is just a small episode, and it cannot be a small episode.

There are many orphans like this in Africa, and there are many more miserable than them.

Chen Xiang continued to go back to squint under the sun umbrella... and sit down.

Yu Qingyang left the camp early in the morning with Sun Jian and others in a Hummer.

First, I went to No. [-] Road and turned around.

After looking at it, he left without saying anything.

Then I went to the location of the future town, standing on the hillside and looking at the scenery down the mountain.

The whole town is located at the foot of the mountain. Yu Qingyang couldn't figure out why Ajigeria built a town here.

A small town with a capacity of [-] households and complete facilities.

Apart from relying on the mountains, there is nothing else to see here?
If you want to resettle herdsmen, isn't it better to be near the seaside and the big cities?

The location here is in the middle of Geographic Glass and Butitan, slightly closer to Butitan.

Putting it in the country belongs to the boundary of the three.

Ajigeria actually spends so much money to build small towns.

Although they didn't need to pay for it, Yu Qingyang knew it in his heart.

Nothing is free in this world.

Things that don’t cost money are more expensive.

The cost of building a small town is [-] million U.S. dollars, including No. [-] Road, it will exceed [-] million U.S. dollars.

There is also supporting water and electricity.

Set up high-voltage lines from hundreds of kilometers away.

From the underground artificial river, the water is diverted from branch streams.

But for this one, the total cost is over [-] million US dollars.

The price paid by Ajigeria is definitely several times that.

Yu Qingyang can only attribute it to his short-sightedness, unable to understand the intentions of politicians.

Looking at the dividing line where green and russet intersect in the distance, Yu Qingyang has the urge to whip his horse.

It should be good to get a few horses and gallop them on the grassland when you are free.

After looking at it on the hillside for a while, he couldn't understand it, so Yu Qingyang no longer struggled.

This is not something you should consider.

It is really not a wise move to stand on the hillside in this more than 40-degree weather.

Drive back to camp.

There are still more and more black brothers outside the camp who come to deliver stones.

There was an endless stream of people coming from the road in the distance.

On the side of the production base, tall drill pipes have been erected.

That was the well drilling company introduced by Zhang Qiang, and they were drilling deep water wells.

Very professional drilling company.

They have a map of the distribution of underground water veins in the entire Butitatan.

As for why there is a distribution map of underground water veins, it is also due to the underground artificial river in Ajigeria, which is known as the eighth wonder of the world.

Since it is necessary to build an underground artificial river to divert water from the southern desert to the north, it is natural to investigate the underground water veins around the line.

According to the other party, there is a big water vein in this position.

Enough for 1 people to use for ten years.

Whether it is true or not, Yu Qingyang is too lazy to compare the truth.

As long as the water can be fetched, it will be enough for him to produce and live for three years.

Three years later, the construction of the small town was completed, no matter whether he had water or not!
At the production base, four excavators are digging the side ditch along the gray line cast by technicians.

The production base assigned to them is lower than the place next to which the town is going to be built.

It's nothing now, but it will be troublesome when it comes to the rainy season.

All the rainwater on the mountain flows into the base along the terrain.

Therefore, when discussing the production base, everyone decided to dig a deep trench around the base to divert possible future floods to lower-lying places.

Another advantage of deep trenches is that they can play a protective role.

Just like the ancient moat.

After inspecting the production base, there is actually nothing to inspect, except that excavators dig trenches and use the excavated soil to raise the production base.

Nothing technical.

After leaving the production base, Yu Qingyang came to the trading site along the way.

Very hot.

But most people trade the stones for food and water.

Little wood, no sand.

After all, they all picked up stones from the mountains and at the foot of the mountains.

No effort, just looking for time.

Long ago, there was a battle here.

Or a battle fought on the mountain.

The stones from the shells, and the rolling stones and falling stones produced by the forces of nature.

Scattered around the mountains.

It takes a little time to find a lot. On the contrary, although there are a lot of wood in the mountain, it takes a lot of effort to cut it down.

The Berbers naturally choose stones, an item that requires little effort in exchange.

It is estimated that they will not find a way to cut trees in the mountains until the scattered stones are gone, and transport sand to semi-desert areas or deserts for trading.

When he came to the trading point, Yu Qingyang saw at a glance the piece of rotten wood that was thrown aside and no one cared about it.

Yu Qingyang could tell at a glance that it was a fossil tree.

Tree fossils are also called woody jade.

A specialty of Ajigeria, there are a lot of tree jade in the place where Ajigeria is close to the desert.

Not only in the desert, but also in other places in Ajigeria, but not as many as in the desert.

The original stone of a tree fossil looks like a rotten piece of wood because of the bark on the surface.

But percussion, there will be a crisp sound of stone.

It is a relatively good carving material.

After processing, polishing and polishing, it is delicate and smooth, with a strong sense of jade. It looks like agate, but its shape is not agate.

Therefore, woody jade is also called agate-like wood fossils.

Wooden jade can be processed into ornaments, pendants, bracelets, bracelets, etc., and has relatively high economic value and collection value.

This piece of woody jade needs no processing when it is shipped back to China, and the price of raw materials alone is worth tens of thousands.

Moreover, lignochemical jade, like jadeite and jade, is a non-renewable resource.

There is a lot of room for appreciation in the future.

Before Yu Qingyang came back from time travel, a high-quality wooden jade was auctioned at the Poly Spring Auction for a sky-high price of more than 200 million.

The reason why Yu Qingyang knew Muhuayu was because he had a friend in his previous life who was from Shaozhou, Guangdong Province.

Shaozhou is rich in woody jade.

There, many common people made a fortune by picking up wood and jade in the river.

Yu Qingyang used to be very envious of that friend. When he was the hottest, he could pick up hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars a year by doing whatever he wanted in the river.

Therefore, Yu Qingyang has paid special attention to woody jade, and even went to the Geological Museum to see the original stone of woody jade.

Yu Qingyang bent down to observe the piece of wooden jade in front of him, reached out and tapped it lightly, making a crisp jade-like sound.

"Mr. Yu, are you here?" Seeing Yu Qingyang bending over to look at the piece of rotten wood, Shi hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Well, where did this come from?"

"I took this! I saw a pair of brothers and sisters as pitiful, so I decided to accept it!

They gave me five catties of flour and five bottles of water, and they will be deducted from my salary later! "Hour busy explained.

"Mr. Yu, this piece of wood was taken by me!

If you want to deduct money, you should deduct mine! "At this time, Chen Xiang also rushed over.

Naturally, he would not allow his subordinates to take the blame.

How much is a piece of rotten wood, five catties of flour and five bottles of water.

Chen Xiang couldn't afford to let his subordinate take the blame.

"Hehe, the two of you are still in contention! If that's the case, then half of each of you will be deducted!"

"Mr. Yu, you have the final say! Double or ten times is fine!" Chen Xiang didn't argue anymore.

When they come to Africa, the subsidy for one day is 500 yuan, five catties of flour, and five bottles of water.

"Put this piece of wood away! Congratulations, you made a small fortune!" Yu Qingyang laughed.

Although Mu Huayu was valuable, Yu Qingyang still couldn't hold back his face and ignored the little money from his subordinates.

Being able to get this piece of wooden jade is also a blessing for them to do good deeds.

Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It’s not that the time has not yet come!
Their blessings came quickly.

"Mr. Yu, what do you mean?" Chen Xiang and Xiao Shi were both stunned.

"Hehe, thanks to the fact that you grew up in Huangchenggen! Take a closer look at what's different about this rotten piece of wood!" Yu Qingyang pointed out with a smile.

"What's different?" Chen Xiang looked down at the rotten wood.

The piece of rotten wood was collected just now out of good intentions. After it was put there, he and Shi Xiao didn't look at it at all, not even a glance.

Chen Xiang bent down, imitated Yu Qingyang and reached out to knock, then looked up at Yu Qingyang, and asked in surprise: "Is this petrified wood?"

"Yeah!" Yu Qingyang smiled and nodded.

Lihuayu has many names, and silicified wood is the scientific name.

It can also be called tree jade, wood petrification, wood jade, and petrified wood.

"Mr. Yu, this..."

Chen Xiang felt that his brain was not working well, isn't this too dramatic?
"Put it away! You can sell it if you want to go back, or you can keep it for yourself and find a master to process it into an ornament!
Do as you like!

This can be regarded as God’s reward for doing good deeds to you! "Yu Qingyang said with a smile.

"But……"

"There's nothing wrong with it! You violated the regulations and purchased things that the project department can't use. You have been punished just now, and the losses caused will be deducted from your salary!
Then this piece of rotten wood is your own private property! "

"Thank you, Mr. Yu! Thank you, Mr. Yu!" Only then did Chen Xiang understand that Yu Qingyang didn't really punish them just now.

Of course, if the two of them shirk responsibility from each other, then the false punishment may become the real punishment.

This piece of wood jade will not be given to them either.

When I was young, I was still standing there blankly, feeling that everything in front of me seemed to be in a dream.

　At the end of the month, brothers, if you have a monthly pass, please give me a few!
　　There is no double monthly pass this month, so no need to wait!
