Super Orchard

Chapter 14 Building Walls and Paving Roads
I don't know whether it was because of excitement or nervousness, Shen Yangguang's hands trembled a little. He didn't expect that after the golden air flow in his body, he would knock down three people so easily.

Wei Liangping pushed aside the crowd and walked to the front, and glanced around at the three people on the ground. The burly man looked familiar, but he couldn't name him.

Seeing that the shivering skinny man turned out to be Xiong San from the village, Wei Liangping scolded angrily: "Xiong San, you bastard, you actually collude with outsiders to come to the village to steal fruit trees, you really have no conscience..."

After scolding Xiong San, Wei Liangping looked at the leader again, and finally saw the face blurred with blood and tears. It was a famous fruit farmer in the nearby Hujia Village. He sneered and said, "Isn't this Hu Dawei? You are Shili There are well-known big families in the eight villages, how did they engage in the business of stealing fruit trees, tell me, do you want to be public or private?"

Hu Dawei's nosebleed was no longer flowing at this time, but his nose was sore and tears could not stop streaming down, he choked up and said: "I admit it, I admit it, please don't call the police, we're private, private."

This was a fruit tree stolen from Shen Yangguang's house, and it was Shen Yangguang who took it down. Wei Liangping didn't want to make decisions without authorization, so he looked at Shen Yangguang and asked him to make a decision.

Shen Yangguang heard that the other party did not want to call the police, and asked: "You can do it privately if you want, first return all the fruit trees to me, and then compensate 1 yuan!"

Hu Dawei said angrily: "You can return the fruit trees, but it is absolutely impossible to compensate 1 yuan! How much can a few broken trees be worth? Besides, you injured us and haven't asked you for medical expenses yet!"

"How many broken trees? Hehe, I think you should know how much my fruit is worth, otherwise you wouldn't come to steal the tree. You don't know if such a precious fruit tree will survive. The 1 yuan is still worth it. Not to mention, and you want medical expenses, that’s fine, let’s call the police and let the police deal with it, whose responsibility is the responsibility, what do you think?”

Hu Dawei wanted to quibble at first, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will do as you said, return the fruit tree to you, and pay you another 1 yuan."

After the negotiation, Shen Yangguang buckled the pickup truck here, and together with Wei Liangping took the young and strong in the village, drove a few tractors and agricultural tricycles, and Hu Dawei was in charge of leading the way to his orchard. The fruit trees were dug up and brought back.

After the work was done, it was already dawn, and Hu Dawei called his family to bring money to redeem him.

Seeing that more than 20 fruit trees had been returned and received another 1 yuan, Shen Yangguang let the other party drive away in a truck.

As for the 1 yuan, Shen Yangguang didn't think much of it. He asked Wei Liangping to distribute the money equally to more than 20 folks who came to help, and gave each of them a red envelope. So many people worked hard all night for themselves. It is also Shen Yangguang who expresses his gratitude.

After receiving the money, these young people did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they replanted more than 20 fruit trees before going home to catch up on sleep.

After Shen Yangguang saw the crowd leave, he sent a stream of air to each fruit tree to make it easier for the fruit trees to survive, and he returned home to sleep after finishing his work.

It was already afternoon after waking up, and Shen Yangguang came to the orchard to check again. After stealing the fruit tree, he realized that sooner or later more people would know about his high-priced fruit, and there might be more troubles by then .

In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, Shen Yangguang decided to build a wall outside the orchard. With the wall, most people will give up their greed. trace.

Just when Shen Yangguang was thinking about building the fence, the phone remembered the ringtone, "I'm facing the sun, and I just want to hold an umbrella for you. You lean on my shoulder, take a deep breath for fear of forgetting..."

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was Wei Long, the factory director, general manager and salesperson of the greenhouse. After pressing the answer button, Shen Yangguang said: "Mr. Ready?"

"How can it be so fast? I called to ask if you have time in the next two days. I wanted to see you on the spot and see if you need to adjust the spacing and height of the brackets according to the terrain."

Although this orchard belongs to a mountain forest, in a gentle valley, there should be no need to make any adjustments. However, Shen Yangguang did not refuse, and there is no harm in letting them take a look, so he said, "It's free, when are you coming?"

"Then tomorrow morning, Jinquan Village, right? I'll be at the entrance of your village around nine o'clock. Come and pick me up. I'll call you when the time comes."

Early the next morning, Shen Yangguang took Ah-Dai to the orchard as usual and then went home to cook. Not long after breakfast, he received a call from Weilong, who was on his way and would arrive in the village soon.

Wei Long didn't come here alone, he also brought a few technicians from the factory. The car stopped at the end of the cement road in the west of the village, and Shen Yangguang took them up the mountain to the planned wild grape planting area.

After the on-site inspection for a while, the technician wrote and drew pictures in the small book, and the inspection was completed soon.

On the way down the mountain, Shen Yangguang asked, "Mr. Wei, is this land okay?"

"There is no problem with the land. I thought it was inconvenient because of the mountains and forests, so I feel relieved now. But your road needs to be repaired. It is full of potholes and dirt roads. When we come in to install the greenhouse, we have to carry a lot of materials. I'm afraid the car won't be able to get in!"

Usually driving a tractor to and from here, Shen Yangguang didn't think there was anything wrong, but when he thought of a large vehicle entering, it would be a real problem, so he asked, "Is there any builder that Mr. Wei is familiar with? I really need to pave a road to get out here. I also want to build a wall and a gate."

"I do know someone named Zeng Guang. He is the person in charge of a medium-sized construction company in the county. They built the factory when we built it a few years ago. The quality of the factory building is very good."

After sending Wei Long away, Shen Yangguang contacted Zeng Guang again. During this time, there were few civil engineering projects in the county, and Zeng Guang also had a leisure time. Negotiate other details.

In less than an hour, Zeng Guang brought a carload of people to the orchard. After walking around the site, he asked, "Mr. Shen, what kind of road do you want to build? The cost of cement roads and concrete is quite different."

It was the first time someone called Mr. Shen, and Shen Yangguang was very embarrassed. He waved his hand and said, "You can call me Xiao Shen or Shen Yangguang. I want to build that kind of concrete asphalt pavement. What is the price?"

"Boss Shen owns such a large orchard. He is really young, promising and yet so humble. The road you mentioned is very expensive to build. An ordinary one-way road with a width of 10 meters and [-] meters costs several [-] yuan for materials alone for one kilometer. Let's calculate the other expenses carefully, I don't know how wide and long Mr. Shen wants to lay?"

Shen Yangguang originally wanted to lay a road from the entrance of the village to the end of the valley in one go, about seven kilometers, but he immediately dismissed this idea after hearing Zeng Guang's quotation.

What Shen Yangguang didn't know was that this was just the material cost of ordinary roads. For example, the cost of highways per kilometer reached tens of millions of yuan, and in some special areas, the cost of one kilometer even exceeded 2 million yuan!
After a little thought, Shen Yangguang said: "I want to lay a two-way lane first, similar to a secondary road, the length is from the village cement road to the west, covering apple fields and wild grape fields."

After setting a few basic points, the workers went to measure, and Zeng Guang said: "The width of secondary roads is generally about ten meters, and the construction cost is more than 200 million yuan per kilometer. The road here is relatively smooth, and the construction is relatively simple, so the construction cost should be low. One point, this section of road is 300 kilometers long, and the overall construction cost should be around [-] million yuan, and the specific figure will have to be calculated slowly.”

After hearing this, Shen Yangguang felt chills. He didn't expect the road to be so expensive. Although he still has more than 300 million yuan, he still has to pay for the construction of the greenhouse. Now he can't afford the extra money, so he said: "Payment method What is it? Can it be divided into installments?"

"The cost of our kind of project is generally very high. It is true that many people use the method of installment payment, but our labor and material costs are huge, and the profit is actually very low. The maximum can only provide one-year interest-free installment. If so, interest will be charged.”

Thinking that a large number of wild grapes and apples would be on the market in a year's time, the two finally agreed to pay a deposit of 50 yuan, and when the road was paved, they would pay the remaining half of the payment, and the other half would be settled after one year.

Then Shen Yangguang took Zeng Guang's people to measure the area where the fence and gate were built. According to his idea, a three-meter-high fence should be built to enclose the valley entrance so that outsiders would not easily enter the orchard.

Although the valley is only 300 meters wide, the wall still needs to extend to the ridges on both sides. Finally, it was decided to build a length of more than 600 meters, leaving a gate with a width of [-] meters between the places where the road in the middle of the wall passes through, for vehicles to enter and exit. .

In addition, Shen Yangguang will also build a few simple houses inside the gate, which can be used for temporary rest and guarding the orchard, and can also store tractors and other agricultural equipment.
