Material Empire

A long distance away, Lu Jianzhong, the gatekeeper outside the village entrance of Dongdaogou Village, saw the Mercedes-Benz car heading towards his own direction.

In recent years, due to the booming steel market, many people in Xingchuan County have become rich due to steelmaking and coking. In addition to building a house and buying gold, the first group of rich people also like to buy high-end cars. In Xingchuan County, there are one or two hundred premium cars of various brands. Even the children in the village can accurately recognize the signs of Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Audi.

Lu Jianzhong can also be regarded as a person who has seen a little bit of the world. He has been to the provincial city several times, and accidentally took a boss's Mercedes-Benz car, and was rewarded by a boss who bought steel from a village outside Cuban cigars. Later, he heard that the price of this cigar was enough to pay him a month's salary, which made him proud to this day. As a knowledgeable person, he has some research on the grade of cars, so at this moment when he sees the Mercedes-Benz 600 sedan where Qin Hai and Xin Jinlong are sitting, he knows that this must be a super boss, because Xing The car that the richest business owner in Sichuan County takes is not as luxurious as this one.

"Boss, where are you from?"

Seeing the car driving in front of him, Lu Jianzhong stepped forward with a smile, and chatted with the man who looked like a bodyguard sitting in the vice seat.

"What are you doing?" Ge Dongyan sitting on the vice seat rolled down the window and asked Lu Jianzhong with a black face.

"I'm the gatekeeper of Dongdaogou Village ... Uh, our village hasn't allowed outsiders to come in because something happened. May I ask where the boss came from and what happened to our village?" Lu Jianzhong asked.

Ge Dongyan turned his head, seemed to ask Xin Jinlong for something, then turned back and said to Lu Jianzhong: "Behind us is our boss Xin, we are from Yunjiang. What can you do in your village besides buying steel? ? "

"Oh. It was the boss who came to buy steel." Lu Jianzhong's face was a little more tanned, these two years. There are many foreign bosses who come to Dongdaogou Village to purchase steel. These people are the God of Wealth of Dongdaogou Village and need good service. Dongdaogou Village started by making small iron and steel, and produced many small bosses, but compared with the big bosses from the outside, it was a small witch. Because of this, everyone's bosses are full of awe.

"I don't know which factory your boss is with. Would you like me to show you the way?" Lu Jianzhong asked diligently.

Sitting in the back, Xin Jinlong also shook the window. Showing his fat face with upstart elements, he said, "We heard that there is steel in Dongdaogou, and we came here for a special trip. As for which factory, we don't know. If you can give the way, then It's the best .... This is for you. Keep buying a few packs of cigarettes. "

Speaking, Xin Jinlong threw two banknotes at Lu Jianzhong like sprinkling waste paper. Lu Jianzhong caught it quickly with his eyes, and took a closer look. The two were actually hundred-dollar bills, and they couldn't help but be in full bloom, and the wrinkles on their faces spread out.

"Thank you boss. Thank you, come with me, I will take you to the largest Tongxin Steel Plant in our village first." Lu Jianzhong raised the bar at the entrance of the village, put Qinhai's car into the village, and went all the way The trot led the car in front and led them to a steel mill in the east of the village.

"Xiaomei, Xiaomei, Dashuang is here or there, Yunjiang has a big boss. If you want to buy steel, please ask Dashuang to come out and pick up the guests."

Outside the gate of the plant area with the words "Tongxin Steel Plant". Lu Jianzhong stopped and shouted breathlessly to a girl who was chatting with someone at the door. The owner of Tongxin Steel Plant is Lu Dashuang. Be regarded as Lu Jianzhong's distant nephew, this Xiaomei is Lu Dashuang's cousin, who works as an accountant in the factory, and is also very familiar with Lu Jianzhong.

"Uncle Jianzhong, look at the sweat you ran, what did you just say, ask our boss to come out to pick you up? Are you afraid that our boss will tear your mouth?" Xiaomei grinned and joked to Lu Jianzhong.

Lu Jianzhong was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm his uncle. He dare to tear my mouth? Xiaomei, don't make a mess, go and ask Dashuang to come out. What I bring is a big boss. Look at their car. Got it."

At this time, Xiaomei also noticed the big rush that followed slowly after Lu Jianzhong's body. She stuck out her tongue and flew into the factory to be called.

The Mercedes-Benz stopped in the open space in front of the factory. Ge Dongyan got out of the car and opened the rear door. Xin Jinlong and Qin Hai stepped down one after the other, Xin Jinlong carried his hands on his back, a bossy temperament. Qin Hai followed him half a step behind, carrying a briefcase in his hand, as if he had followed his class. Ge Dongyan waited for both of them to get out of the car, closed the door, and stood on the other side behind Xin Jinlong, staring at everything around him like a hawk.

"Boss Xin, wait a minute, I have been asked to call Dashuang Boss, and he will come out immediately." Lu Jianzhong said in front of Xin Jinlong, respectfully.

"Well, okay." Xin Jinlong snorted and asked, "What big double boss did you just say, what is the last name of this boss?"

"Last name is Lu, everyone in our village is named Lu. He calls me uncle." Lu Jianzhong explained.

There was a ray of unpleasantness on Xin Jinlong's face: "I said ... you are rushing to show us the way, just to bring us to your nephew, are you thinking of us?"

Hearing Xin Jinlong's words, Ge Dongyan took away the gaze patrolling around and stared at Lu Jianzhong's face. Lu Jianzhong was stared at him, involuntarily fought a chill, and quickly waved his hand to explain: "No, no, Boss Xin must not be misunderstood. People in our village are relatives, and the bosses of other factories also have My uncle and my grandpa. This Tongxin Steel Plant is the largest plant in our village, and even the head of Gao County ... "

"Lu Jianzhong, you're chewing your tongue again!" Before Lu Jianzhong finished speaking, he heard a stern voice coming from behind, interrupting him. Qin Hai turned his head and saw a 30-year-old man stepping out of the factory door, staring at Lu Jianzhong fiercely.

"Uh ... Dashuang, I didn't say anything." Lu Jianzhong was obviously very afraid of the distant nephew. He just wanted to prove to Xin Jinlong that he was not insulted, and he nearly built the county magistrate Gaoxue in Tongxin Steel Works Secret to speak out. Such a thing is indeed no secret in Dongdaogou Village, but when it comes to outsiders, it is a taboo. If Lu Jianzhong said something wrong and was caught by Lu Dashuang, how can he not be afraid.

"You are here to buy steel?" Lu Dashuang stopped talking about Lu Jianzhong, but turned his eyes to Xin Jinlong and his party. He looked at all three before questioning Xin Jinlong.

"You are the owner of this factory?" Xin Jinlong didn't answer Lu Dashuang's words directly, but instead made nod to the factory and asked arrogantly.

Lu Dashuang did not feel angry because of Xin Jinlong's irrationality. On the contrary, he felt that Xin Jinlong's style was like a real big boss. As a boss sitting in the Mercedes-Benz 600, how can someone be led down to say that at any time, he should be the right person to lead the topic. Xin Jinlong did not answer Lu Dashuang's question, but instead asked Lu Dashuang's identity as an anti-customer, which matched his response with his identity.

"Yes, I opened this factory." Lu Dashuang replied.

"Can you roll rebar?" Xin Jinlong asked again.

"All kinds of steel can be rolled." Lu Dashuang said.

"What's the price of 12 rebar?" Xin Jinlong said.

"Why ... let's talk inside?" Through this dialogue, Lu Dashuang already basically believed Xin Jinlong's identity. He made an invitation gesture to Xin Jinlong, and accompanied his smile on his face.

Qin Hai, Xin Jinlong and Ge Dongyan followed Lu Dashuang into the factory door. Qin Hai saw that the factory area was not large, that is, it looked like five or six acres of land. Half of the factory area is a simple workshop with several simple houses next to it, which should be Lu Dashuang's own office and administrative users such as the accounting room. The other half of the area is the material yard of the factory, which is piled with some scrap steel and finished steel covered with felt cloth, and some equipment accessories and the like.

There is no on-site management at all in the entire factory. There is no way to stack things, and the workshop cannot meet the requirements of ventilation and fire protection. The perennial smoke and smoke make the factory area look dirty, and the workers who go in and out occasionally look like a child, which makes people lack confidence in the products of this factory.

"Let's go directly to the workshop and watch and talk to save time." Seeing that Lu Dashuang was taking his party to his office ~ www.readwn.com ~ Xin Jinlong stopped him and raised his finger to the workshop. , Suggested indiscriminately.

"Well, okay." Lu Dashuang didn't care. He knew what kind of virtue he had in his workshop, but also knew that anyone who could go to Dongdaogou Village to buy steel was an adulterer who didn't have high requirements for the quality of steel. . It is impossible for a regular construction team or a real estate company to accept this kind of steel made in the village, but anyone with a little experience knows that the inferior ground steel must be produced here.

The crowd followed Lu Dashuang into the workshop. The conditions in the workshop are even more horrifying. An intermediate frequency electric furnace stands on a corner of the workshop, next to an old tooth mill, and some ugly molds. Because it is daytime, the electric furnace is not working, and some workers are using a cutting machine to decompose the scrap steel. This is the preparatory work before smelting.

This is also the characteristic of this type of small steel mills. In order to save costs and also avoid excessive power loads impacting the power grid, these small steel mills generally choose to smelt scrap steel at night. At this time, it is the low point of power grid load. Generally, The power supply department will also give discounts on ladder electricity prices.

Seeing such a humble production site, Ge Dongyan couldn't help grinning, but Xin Jinlong and Qin Hai both looked indifferent, because they had expected such a scene. (To be continued)
