Second,
Zhao Tiewei was really drunk. The eight taels of low-quality white wine made him sleep until noon the next day. He opened his eyes and looked at the newspaper on the ceiling. Had too much to drink? Why did he sleep with his clothes on? His throat felt like it was on fire. He was thirsty and painful. It was so hot that it was unbearable. After getting up from the brick bed, he scooped a large ladle of water from the water tank in the hall and drank it with both hands. He felt much more comfortable. He was still wondering how the water could be sweet. Old Uncle Han was sitting in the courtyard. He had heard the commotion in the house and saw Zhao Tiewei coming out from the corner of his eye. He pretended not to see him and was still sulking. He thought to himself,'This student. It's fine if he tricked me into eating a chicken, but he almost tricked me into killing a goat. The words of the d * mn children in the city are just unreliable!'
Zhao Tiewei walked to the old village chief and said,"Uncle Han, did I drink too much last night?”
Old Uncle Han only responded with a " hmm " and did not say anything. He was still thinking about how he had almost killed a sheep last night. Zhao Tiewei could also feel that Uncle Han was not willing to pay attention to him. There was no expression on his face at all. He did not even look at him. Compared to yesterday when he picked up the chicken drumstick for him, it was already two heavens of ice and fire. How did he make Uncle Han unhappy?
Zhao Tiewei took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it into his mouth. He took out a lighter and was about to light it when he suddenly remembered the scene from yesterday. Electricity, 20,000 yuan, a month! At this moment, Zhao Tiewei understood why Old Uncle Han was unhappy. He quickly handed Old Uncle Han a cigarette and said,"Uncle Han, why is the electricity only at the foot of the mountain and not halfway up the mountain?”
"Last year, the county required every village to be electrified. Our Banshan Village is divided into an upper half village and a lower half village. It used to be two villages, but in 1958, when the people's community was in chaos, they merged into one village and became the current Banshan Village. The people from the county power supply bureau said that the village's electricity supply only goes to the village, and the upper half village is also a part of Banshan Village. They don't care about the electricity supply in the village. They said that it was stipulated in the document. I don't know which bastard made this document. From here to the upper half village, there are still ten poles to pull. Including the wires, it'll be 20,000 yuan!"
Zhao Tiewei heard this and said,"This is a little too serious. Doesn't the village care?"”
"How can the village control the county power supply bureau? If they say that the power supply bureau is a vertical leader, then isn't it f * cking under the leadership of the party? These bastards!"
Zhao Tiewei laughed." They are indeed bastards. They are taking advantage of the loopholes in the documents, but they are not completely unreasonable. They can only blame the power supply bureau for being too thick. We should think of a way ourselves."”
"Think of a way yourself? There were only a few poor bachelors in their thirties or forties in the upper half of the village. They couldn't even afford to marry a wife, so how could they have the money to pay for electricity?”
Zhao Tiewei looked at the sheep in the yard and said,""Can't you sell sheep for money? Why didn't the people in the upper half of the village raise more sheep to sell?”
Old Uncle Han was amused, and his face scrunched up.""That's because there's no water. There's only a shallow well in the upper half of the village. When there's little rain in the summer, the lower half of the village has to carry water to drink.”
"How much does it cost to dig a deep well?"
"It's not expensive, just two thousand yuan. But it needs electricity. The water from the deep well needs to be pumped up by an electric pump!”
Zhao Tiewei thought to himself, This is a vicious cycle. This is the reason for being poor. Without electricity, there would be no water. Without water, there would be no livestock farming like cattle and sheep. Without livestock farming, there would be no money to grow food. Without money, there would be no electricity. Without electricity, there would be no money.
Zhao Tiewei was confused in his heart. To put it simply, There must be electricity!
"Uncle Han, please bring me around Upper Half Village." Zhao Tiewei stood up.”
That night, Zhao Tiewei tossed and turned on the brick bed, unable to fall asleep. He had long known that the countryside was poor. He knew that the state-level poverty villages were even poorer, but he never thought that they would be so poor. There were more than a dozen families with less than 100 yuan in all their assets, except for their houses that were broken. A large pot of corn seeds in the pot was a day's rations. Some families did not even have a decent bowl. The patches on their clothes were so thick that they could not even tell their true colors. This completely shocked Zhao Tiewei, who had lived in a wealthy family since he was young. Thinking about how he had to smoke two packs of soft Zhonghua cigarettes a day, Zhao Tiewei made up his mind. Even if he had to spend money, he would have to connect the electricity. Zhao Tiewei had already chosen his first breakthrough point. People were always like this. If one's heart was small, things would become big. If one's heart was big, things would become small.
Station Chief Dahong left early the next morning after drinking. He was afraid that the village officials would ask him about the electricity, so the most convenient way was to leave. He went straight to the village and reported to the village head, Nan Peixin, about the electricity supply that Zhao Tiewei had mentioned at the dinner table yesterday.
Nan Peixin held the hot teacup with both hands and looked out of the window."If Secretary Wei Pingshun didn't make a wish, then Zhao Tiewei must have drunk too much. Report to Secretary Wei and hear what he has to say.”
Half an hour later, Station Chief Da Hong returned and said to Nan Peixin,""After Secretary Wei heard the report, he said,'You made him drink almost half a kilogram of white wine.'”
Nan Peixin understood and let Station Chief Da Hong leave first.
Zhao Tiewei was half-lying and half-sitting on the brick bed, smoking one cigarette after another. He was thinking about how to solve the problem in the village. The first thing that flashed through his mind was the secretary of the chief, Feng Yong. How could the county power supply director not give the secretary face? It shouldn't be a problem to do this. He had repeatedly said that he had something to look for him, but it was just a one-sided relationship. It was a little too shallow. When he thought of the fact that the Power supply bureau was a vertical leader, he lost confidence. If he was rejected for the first time, it would be too embarrassing. The second person who flashed past was the general manager of Huayu Group, Li Mingzhi. It shouldn't be a problem for such a large group to solve the remaining telephone poles. He was considered a family member. If it really didn't work, he wouldn't mind paying for it himself. If she used him, she would feel more at ease. She looked at her watch and saw that it was past two o'clock in the evening. She was sleepy and turned off the lights to sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhao Tiewei dialed Li Mingzhi's phone and told him about the electricity supply in the village. He also told him about the idea of using some old electric poles and wires. Li Mingzhi's answer was very straightforward. He would go to the director of Sanhe City's power supply bureau. This director was his university classmate. Many of Huayu Group's power distribution projects were handled by this classmate. Connecting electricity to the village was a small matter. Li Mingzhi asked Zhao Tiewei to wait for the call.
In less than half an hour, the director of Sanhe City's power supply bureau personally called. He asked Zhao Tiewei to write an electricity application in the name of a state-level poor township and stamp it with the official seal of the township. Then, he directly went to the director of Fengshan County's power supply bureau and hinted that he could make the difficulty bigger.
Zhao Tiewei was so happy that he almost jumped up. He quickly wrote an electricity application and called Old Uncle Han. He borrowed a tractor and went straight to the village to get his stamp. Old Uncle Han drove the tractor and thought to himself,'Looks like this kid isn't someone who cheats for food and drinks. He'll do whatever he can. It's better to do it than not to do it.'
When the township head Nan Peixin saw Zhao Tiewei's electricity application, he was delighted. What a young man. Do you think the East and West County Power Transmission Bureau will recognize you? Suddenly, she remembered that Zhao Tiewei was sent over by Chief Shi's secretary, Feng Yong. Did he pull some strings first? She asked,"Have you communicated with the county power supply bureau?”
Zhao Tiewei didn't want to make things too clear. He was also afraid that if something went wrong, he would lose a lot of face. He said,"Let's try."
Nan Peixin understood it as a coincidence, but it was not good to hurt the enthusiasm of the young people. If the official seal of the township government was so useful, it was not a big deal to distribute one to each village. It was not like they were cheating."You can ask Director Bi of the township office to stamp it. After you stamp it, get Director Bi to drive you to the power supply bureau in my car.”She picked up her phone and called Bi Yuntao.
Zhao Tiewei almost laughed out loud when he thought of the name " Bi Yuntao ", but he managed to hold it in in front of the head of the Nan township.
When Zhao Tiewei and the other two arrived at the county power supply bureau, it was not even ten o'clock yet. The bureau chief was in a meeting, so they decided to wait. More than an hour had passed. Deputy Director Bi of the township office was already annoyed. He said to Zhao Tiewei,"Have you made an appointment with the director?"
"No, I haven't."
"How can a bureau chief meet anyone?" Deputy Director Bi's face darkened. Let's go. Come back when you have an appointment!”As she spoke, she stood up and wanted to leave. He was still feeling uneasy about Zhao Tiewei's disrespect for his name, so he accidentally let it slip.
At this moment, a female officer in her thirties walked over and asked,""May I know who you are looking for? Is there anyone called Zhao Tiewei?"
"I'm Zhao Tiewei. I'm here to see Chief Bai."”
The woman immediately smiled.""I've been waiting for you in the living room. I didn't expect you to come to the office. Director Bai's meeting will be over soon. Let's wait in the small restaurant.”With that, he smiled and led the three of them into the small dining room that was specially reserved for the chief.
It was called a small restaurant, but it was more than 40 square meters. The decoration was also very good, and it was enough to meet the star standard. The power supply bureau was a rich unit. In China, no matter which city it was, the tax bureau, the finance bureau, the bank, the transportation bureau, and the power supply bureau were all units with good economic returns. The power supply bureau was also a bureau with direct leadership. Sometimes, they would not listen to the words of the county. This was something that the directors of other departments did not dare to do.
Before he could finish his cup of tea, Director Bai arrived. The moment he entered, he held Zhao Tiewei's hand."If I had told you earlier, the meeting wouldn't have been held.”
Zhao Tiewei quickly introduced the deputy director of the township office, Bi. He didn't even shake his hand. He just nodded and invited everyone to take a seat. He also introduced the two deputy directors, the chief engineer, and the chief of the construction department who came with him. The waiter began to serve the dishes, and four bottles of Wuliang Ye were also served on the table. Bi Yuntao was shocked. What kind of person was Zhao Tiewei? The entire power supply bureau's team was almost here, yet he still drank Wuliang Ye. The waiter poured wine for everyone, and the dishes were also served on a large table.
Old Uncle Han glanced around. There were quite a lot of them, but he hadn't eaten much.
Zhao Tiewei saw that the wine had been filled to the brim, so he quickly picked up his glass and stood up."Thank you, Director Bai, for caring about the electricity problem of our small village despite your busy schedule. I can only offer you a gift. On behalf of the more than 1,000 villagers in the village, I'll drink first.”
Unexpectedly, Director Bai also stood up.""The power supply bureau is a service unit. They didn't do a good job and even left a dead end. We should reflect on ourselves!”
Zhao Tiewei's face turned red. He didn't know whether to stand or sit. Bi Yuntao rolled his eyes. Why did it sound like Director Bai was talking to the city power supply bureau chief? The county power supply bureau was wrong. When did this bunch of electric tigers say such polite words? What kind of spell did this Zhao Tiewei cast? It seemed that there was no place for him to speak today.
Zhao Tiewei took out the electricity application form and handed it to Chief Bai with both hands. Chief Bai glanced at it and said,"There's no problem with electricity. I'll also install street lamps in your village. Do a good deed to the end. The electricity used for lighting is included in the county's public electricity. A small village can't afford it. All the wires that enter the house should be charged.”
Zhao Tiewei immediately stood up again. Uncle Han and Bi Yuntao also stood up to express their gratitude.
After Director Bai invited them to sit down, he took out a pen and wrote down the electricity application. He pushed it to the Construction Section Chief."Finish the work within a week!" Then, he waved his hand and said,"I'm done with my work. What's left is to eat and drink well!"”
When they left, Bi Yuntao was shocked. The five leaders of the Power Transmission Bureau actually sent Zhao Tiewei and the other two to the car together and watched them leave.
The car drove on the road, but Village Chief Han was still confused."Officer Zhao, is this agreeing to take the call? The wires to the houses are free?”
Zhao Tiewei smiled." I don't think he mentioned money. When the job is done, there won't be any money."”
Old Uncle Han laughed out loud and said to himself," Why do I feel like Director Bai is so weak in your hands? He doesn't have the prestige of a director at all."
Bi Yuntao was driving in a daze like Old Uncle Han, but he was more thoughtful than Old Uncle Han. Zhao Tiewei was definitely not a layman. Only Chief Bai of the county power supply bureau knew this. He had received a call from the city power supply bureau chief beforehand."Treat Zhao Tiewei the way you treated me!”
