Great Power Project

Chapter 267 Shockingly Low Salary (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)

"Boss, is this true? What kind of jade is this?" It wasn't until Yu Qingyang left that he came back to his senses and asked while holding Chen Xiang's hand.

"Really, how about saying that good people are rewarded!

Look at your worthless look!

Don't say it's my subordinate in the future, I can't afford to lose this person! Seeing Shi Xiao's smirk, Chen Xiang stretched out his hand and slapped him, and cursed with a smile.

"Boss, don't I feel a little weird!

Such a big piece of pie fell on our heads like this! "

"Okay, stop being pretty!
This piece of wooden jade is worth more than 1 yuan at most!

One point between the two of us is equivalent to ten days' wages for you! "

"Is it worth such a little money?" Shi Xiao was a little disappointed.

"Yo, is it awesome now? Is it worth such a little money?
I'm talking about selling rough stones, but if they're carved out, that's not necessarily the case!

It depends on the degree of jade!
Wooden jade, the higher the degree of jade, the more valuable it is! "Chen Xiang popularized the knowledge of wood and jade for his childhood science.

Some people say that people who grew up in Forty-Nine City have a natural sense of superiority.

However, speaking of it, the people in Forty Nine City are really awesome.

If you often chat with them, you will find that the people in Forty Nine City are really awesome.

Know astronomy and geography from the top, and trivial knowledge from the bottom.

Know the major international events from the outside, and know the major policies of the country from the inside.

Anyway, as long as you bring up a topic, there is nothing they can't pick up.

And any topic can be said logically.

Not to mention intellectuals like Chen Xiang, even taxi drivers in Forty-Nine City are the same.

Even the aunt who goes to the market to buy vegetables knows everything about major events at home and abroad, and can tell you about them.

"Boss, how about we buy Muhuayu exclusively?" Xiao Shi rolled his eyes and suggested in a low voice.

"Nonsense, receiving this piece was an accident, and it can be regarded as our good intentions will be rewarded!
You go to collect it, don't say whether you can receive it, don't forget your job!
Do you think the company allows you to do private work blatantly?

Or do you want to leave the company and go it alone? "Chen Xiang stared at Xiao Shi.

"No, boss, listen to me, I don't mean we accept it, but the company!
Anyway, it's a matter of convenience, what if you can receive a lot?
One or two yuan, the company doesn't like it, if it's 100 yuan, 1000 yuan, the company should be able to look at it, right? "Hour hurriedly expressed his thoughts.

"You're right! Muhuayu was originally a volcanic eruption or an earthquake, which buried a big tree deep in the ground, and after hundreds of millions of years of evolution, it became Muhuayu.

Then, as history changed, the terrain changed, and it appeared on the ground again.

So if this thing doesn't appear, there will be many of them once it appears!
However, we cannot make our own claims!Just wait, I'll ask Mr. Yu for instructions! "Chen Xiang laughed.

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, and chased after Yu Qingyang's back.

Yu Qingyang didn't know what the two subordinates were thinking.

After the inspection, Yu Qingyang returned to the camp.

At this time, the whole camp was filled with the aroma of barbecue.

Chefs are roasting whole lamb.

Just in the open space of the camp, five bonfires were set up, with improvised barbecue grills on them.

The five sheep sent by the Berber chiefs yesterday have been skinned and washed, their four legs stretched out, tied to a barbecue grill, and put on the bonfire.

The head chef, Lao Wang, did it himself, holding a big brush, and brushing oil on the sheep from time to time.

There were five helpers beside him. According to Lao Wang's request, they slowly turned the rack to let the mutton be heated evenly.

Seeing Yu Qingyang, Lao Wang handed the brush to his apprentice and came up to meet him.

"Mr. Yu, are you here? Would you like to taste my handicraft first?"

"Hehe, can I eat now?"

"The skin is already cooked, but the inside is almost cooked!"

"That's a good relationship, hurry up and get me a piece, I'll try your Lao Wang's craftsmanship!
Let me tell you, if it doesn't taste good, I'll fire your head chef and transfer you to clean the pot! "Yu Qingyang was joking with Old Wang.

"Just please!

My Lao Wang's craftsmanship is not boasting. When five-star hotels invited me to be the head chef, I didn't go! " Lao Wang grinned and boasted.

After Lao Wang boasted, he still didn't forget the business, ran back, took a small knife, and quickly unscrewed a dozen thin slices of meat from the roasted whole lamb.

Each slice is very thin, and the burnt-yellow mutton slices are shining brightly.

Although this old king is a bit bragging, his knife skills are really not bad.

Lao Wang carried it on a tray and came to Yu Qingyang, "Mr. Yu, try it!"

Yu Qingyang was also polite, took the knife, pierced a piece of mutton, and put it in his mouth.

"Yeah! Not bad, it's charred on the outside and tender on the inside! One bite, the mouth is full of oil, and the mutton is full of umami!
You all try it too! "Yu Qingyang praised a few words, and then handed the knife to Sun Jian.

No matter how greedy Yu Qingyang is, he will eat first if he doesn't serve dinner, but it's hard to refuse Lao Wang's kindness.

Eating one slice means it's over.

"Thank you, Mr. Yu!" Sun Jian was not polite, took the tray, and ate the mutton in the tray with four of his subordinates.

"Old Wang, your craftsmanship is really good!" He praised while eating.

Pharaoh grinned beside him, this is the most essential part of a sheep.

I wanted to please the boss, but I didn't expect to be eaten by five soldiers.

"Mr. Yu!" At this moment, Chen Xiang chased after him.

"Old Chen, what do you want me to do?"

"It's about Muhuayu, I made a suggestion when I was young, should we also include Muhuayu in the trading list!

I think this suggestion is good, so I came here to ask you for advice! "Chen Xiang didn't take credit for it, and told the truth.

"It's fine to be included in the list! You can decide the price!" Yu Qingyang smiled and nodded.

Chen Xiang's suggestion fit Yu Qingyang's mind very well.

Originally, Yu Qingyang planned to take a walk to the edge of the desert tomorrow to see the scenery of the desert, and to investigate by the way, is it like in the legend that the desert is full of wood and jade.

Since they want to take it, they can just take it in hand.

If you can really receive a lot, you can take it out separately as an industry.

Wooden jade is worthless in Ajigeria, but it is in China.

Of course, it is not very valuable in China now.

However, China has a population of 13 billion. With economic development, the domestic market for collecting antiques is booming.

If there were too many wood-chemical jades, it would be possible to hype them up and detonate the market ahead of time.

Of course, the premise is that enough wood jade can be obtained in Ajigeria.

Otherwise, there is no need for hype at all, without the hype, you can only make wedding dresses for others.

It's better to hold it in your hand and wait to lie down and win.

"Wooden jade harvesting can be done by hand, or mainly stone and wood!"

"Understood, Mr. Yu!
From yesterday to today no one has traded sand..."

"It's okay, don't worry about this, I will go to the desert tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to have a look!
Our place is only more than 100 kilometers away from the desert. Are you worried that there is no sand available? "Yu Qingyang laughed.

"But……"

"It's nothing to worry about, do you think the sand carried by the Berbers can be used directly?
Let's talk about the situation later!
Since the stone carving machine is going to be built, a sand washing factory is not missing! "Yu Qingyang knew what Chen Xiang wanted to say, so he stopped him and said with a smile.

When it comes to sand, most people have a misunderstanding.

Sand and sand are homophones but disagree.

The building material we use is sand, which has a very low clay content and the particles are larger than sand.

The sand in the desert contains a lot of clay, and the particles are relatively fine, so it needs to be sieved and washed before it can be used.

Yu Qingyang really said that, Chen Xiang didn't say anything.

It is so close to the desert, and it is cheaper to dig the sand and wash it yourself than to buy it from coastal cities.

As the head of the procurement department, Chen Xiang learned about the building materials market in Ajigeria through friends before coming here.

After arriving in Geographic Glass, the capital of Ajigeria, the day before yesterday, I went out to inspect the building materials market.

In aiding construction in Ajigeria, the biggest problem is the supply of building materials.

In Ajigeria in 2000, even Geographic Glass, the capital, had few companies producing building materials.

Most building materials are imported.

Now it is planned to build a stone carving machine factory and a sand washing factory.

I don't know whether to build a cement plant in the future?
That is not as simple as stone carving machine factory and sand washing factory.

Nor can it be completed and put into production in a short period of time.

What Chen Xiang didn't know was that Yu Qingyang really planned to invest in building a medium-sized cement plant in Ajigeria.

As the political situation in Ajigeria stabilizes, the United States will lift its economic sanctions on Ajigeria next year.

Ajigeria's economy will usher in a wave of take-off.

Selling oil, selling minerals, money comes easily, then naturally the next step is to start construction.

Do a lot of urban construction.

Think of the prosperous Gold Coast in Africa in later generations, which is no less prosperous than an international metropolis.

But now, it is not as good as the third-tier cities in China.

what is this?
This is a business opportunity!
To build a mountain and invest in the construction of a medium-sized cement plant is a hugely profitable decision.

As for 10 years later, Aggeria will fall into turmoil again, Yu Qingyang can sell the cement factory before that.

Before the Ajigerian civil war in 2011, the politics of Ajigeria was still very stable during this period.

……

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Qiang came to the camp again.

With him were two black nurses.

The white nurse's uniform was in stark contrast to the brown skin.

Very eye-catching.

What is more eye-catching is the figure of the two nurses.

It's really hot.

The nurse's uniform was on her body, and she jumped very tightly.

It really should be big, it should be warped.

It's just that the places that should be fine are not fine.

The top and bottom are almost equally thick.

Yu Qingyang felt that his arm was thicker than his own, almost as thick as his calf.

After some politeness, Yu Qingyang handed over the two nurses to Xia Xue.

The two nurses can speak English, and Xia Xue's English is not bad, having passed CET-[-].

Communication was no problem.

Bring Zhang Qiang to his office.

"Mr. Yu, I'm really sorry, as you know, in an Arab country like Ajigeria, it's really hard to find female nurses!
I managed to poach these two from a foreign-funded hospital! "Zhang Qiang quickly explained as soon as he entered the door.

"It's okay, as long as you have good skills! I'm not looking for a nurse!" Yu Qingyang nodded with a smile, expressing his understanding.

"Mr. Yu, the stone carving machine, mixing plant and other equipment you want have been shipped, and it is estimated that they will arrive at the port of Ajigeria within a week."

"Well, please contact me later, I still need a set of sand washing equipment!
When will the cement arrive? "

"There is ready-made cement, and it can be delivered at any time!"

"How much are the stones and yellow sand?"

"The price of the materials is not high, mainly because the freight is expensive. If it is delivered, it will cost eight dinars, which is 50 yuan!"

"Yeah!" Yu Qingyang nodded without speaking.

The price is too high!
It seems to be self-reliant.

It's not that Zhang Qiang deceived himself, after all, Yuanmu Company didn't produce these building materials themselves, they were in trade, so they just made a profit from the price difference.

For building materials such as yellow sand and gravel, it is estimated that people will not even make a difference in price, they are purely helping.

"Hurry up, the sand washing equipment will be delivered as soon as possible!"

"Okay! What else do you need?"

"Send one hundred hammers tomorrow, half hand hammers and half sledgehammers, and twenty more sieves! We need to send five more carts for water!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it when I get back!" Zhang Qiang nodded and wrote down what Yu Qingyang wanted.

Zhang Qiang did not leave at night, but stayed in the camp for one night and left the next morning.

It takes six to seven hours to go back to Geographic Glass. There are large areas of no-man's land along the way, and it is too dangerous to drive at night.

Zhang Qiang's failure to go back will not affect the delivery of supplies here.

Call directly to ask the people in Butaitan to purchase the things Yu Qingyang needs and send them along with water.

Yuanmu Company has clerks stationed in all major coastal cities of Ajigeria.

Zhang Qiang left early the next morning.

At noon, the water truck brought the supplies Yu Qingyang needed.

Including fresh vegetables, rice, flour, hammers, and sieves were delivered together.

Yu Qingyang called Zhao Xinlei to his office.

"I asked yesterday. It costs 50 yuan to transport sand and stones from Butaitan!"

"So expensive?"

"The freight is expensive and the distance is too far!

So, I decided to make it ourselves!
However, the production equipment will take a week to arrive at the fastest!
I purchased a batch of hammers!
You go back and recruit a group of Berbers and let them smash stones into stones with hammers! "

"Use a hammer to smash rocks into pebbles?" Zhao Xinlei looked at Yu Qingyang in surprise, a little speechless at his whimsy.

"Hehe! Feeling a little incredible?

Let me tell you, people in the mountains used to use this method when there were no stone carving machines in the past!
When the water conservancy was overhauled in the 60s, it was not uncommon to smash stones into stones with a hand hammer! "Yu Qingyang laughed.

"Mr. Yu, I've never heard of this!" Zhao Xinlei said with a wry smile.

"Let me do the math for you, is it okay for a worker to smash a stone a day?

Five hundred dirhams a day for food and housing, do you think any Berbers are willing to do it? "

"Someone must do it! I think they will rush to do it," Zhao Xinlei said without thinking.

Now the family is busy all day, traveling hundreds of kilometers back and forth, but in the end they can only get food and water equivalent to [-] dirhams.

Five hundred dirhams a day, plus board and lodging, as long as you are not stupid, you can do it.

"Look, if we collect stones for one dinar, if we pay someone to smash them into stones, the cost will also be counted as one dinar!

Two dinars are equivalent to RMB 12! "Yu Qingyang smiled and settled the score for Zhao Xinlei.

In China, there is a kind of thinking that using machinery is cheaper than using labor.

But this statement is not absolute. When labor is cheap to a certain extent, labor is much cheaper than machinery.

After Yu Qingyang finished the calculation, he felt an urge to stop the excavator digging the side ditches and replace them all with manual labor.

Counting meals a day, finding someone is only one dinar, or more than six yuan.

Much cheaper than using an excavator!
"Mr. Yu, I understand, I'll make arrangements now!" Zhao Xinlei also figured it out.

It is very slow to smash stones manually, but the labor cost is low!

Yu Qingyang called Zhao Xinlei over and asked him to make arrangements.

Regarding work matters, Yu Qingyang tried not to give orders.

To guarantee Zhao Xinlei's authority.

After sending Zhao Xinlei away, Yu Qingyang called Sun Jian, took some biscuits and mineral water, and prepared to go to the desert.

"Yangzi, why are you going?" Xia Xue came out of the infirmary when she heard the movement and asked.

"I'm going to the desert, sister Xue, do you want to go together?" Yu Qingyang smiled and extended the invitation.

"Okay! You wait for me!" Xia Xue agreed happily, turned her head and said to the colleagues in the infirmary, and ran into the RV to change clothes.

Last night, when she heard that Yu Qingyang wanted to go to the desert, she paid attention.

Although he was sitting in the infirmary, his eyes were always on the movement outside.

Xia Xue ran into the RV, and after a while, wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt, jeans, a sun hat, and a pair of sunglasses on the hat, trotted to the front of the car.

In the past few days, Yu Qingyang's impression of Xia Xue has changed a lot.

Originally thought that Xia Xue would be impatient, but unexpectedly, she stayed quietly in the infirmary these days.

Read a book or see a doctor for an employee.

Taking her to the desert today can be regarded as relaxing for her.

　I have a bit of a fever today, so I can only update it!
