Although the mountain road was steep and curved, and the road surface was very narrow, the road surface was much better than the provincial road outside the mountain. The road was maintained better than the one outside the mountain. At first, he thought it was because there were not many cars passing by, but after a closer look, he realized that the road was maintained carefully. Along the way, he saw patches of old and new patches repaired by the pitch-black liquid and the drainage ditches cleaned cleanly. Every few turns, the car would see road maintenance workers walking alone with tools. Just as he was thinking about how they came and went in the deep mountains and forests with no villages or shops for hundreds of miles, he heard a "tutu tu" sound coming from afar. He saw a small tractor with a tattered body covered with asphalt spots turn out from a corner not far ahead and drive towards us. There was a big iron bucket in the middle of the small container, and the outside of the iron bucket was covered with asphalt. There were two or three road maintenance workers wearing yellow hats and yellow vests sitting on both sides of the iron bucket. The road was narrow, so the tractor and our car slowed down. When we were about to get close, we could see the dark faces of the workers, who were as rough as tree bark. There were two female workers among them. When the two cars passed each other, the male and female road maintenance workers on the car stared at our car as if they wanted to see through our car. The road maintenance workers will definitely recognize that our car has a provincial license plate and that it's a Japanese brand car. These will make them envious. For thousands of years, people had been tossing and turning between chaos and peace. Who was good and who was evil, who was right and who was wrong, who was unlucky and who was lucky? It was really hard to say.
The mountain road for hundreds of miles was a good scenery, with branches, green leaves and lush forests, but if you looked closely, you would see no rich and useful forest, but there were more firewood and shrubs. How could there be enough wood resources to support the construction of the "Wood Market" here? After driving in the mountains for more than five hours, when the road turned from uphill to downhill, I understood that we had turned to the other side of the mountain. I don't understand why the county was built in the deep mountains that even a car would have to cross for six to seven hours. Actually, I misunderstood. This county is not far from a prefecture-level city in the neighboring province, and there are no mountains separating us. The mountain that we crossed was just a natural barrier between this county and our provincial capital.
"We'll reach the county town in about half an hour.”The driver's words broke my thoughts and woke President Hua up from his seat. Hua didn't talk much to me along the way. Most of the time, he closed his eyes to rest or think about something. When the car turned downhill and the driver said that they were about to reach the county town, Hua snorted and opened his eyes to sit upright. Hua had been to this county town a few times, and the driver didn't have to remind him that they were almost at their destination. He was silent for a while, then turned around and said to me, who was sitting in the back row," We're almost there. Let me briefly explain the situation here to you.”I immediately perked up and listened to him.
"Our partner here is the Bureau of Forests. The person who came forward to deal with us is the deputy director Bo, the father of the company's fat boy, Xiao Wu. This person did not have any official appearance. He had a sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks. At first glance, one would feel that he was an old and cunning fellow. You have to be more careful when dealing with him. Otherwise, you won't even know when he plays you.”Hua said slowly. In my mind, Xiao Wu was a simple and honest fat boy from the north, so I couldn't associate it with Hua saying that Xiao Wu's father had a "sharp mouth and monkey-like cheeks", let alone imagine what kind of monkey-like face his father had from the fat boy's appearance. "You'll see Bo when we get there. This person was very good at acting. His face was full of smiles, but behind his back, he always made things difficult.”Hua repeatedly said that Xiao Wu's father was a sly person, so I had to be on guard against Xiao Wu's father in my heart.
"Tonight, our people will have a meeting with their people. Let me give you a heads up first. Bo likes to attack his partners. He would say things that were unpleasant to hear. Just let him say it, but don't believe what he said.”I couldn't figure out the meaning of Hua's words at the moment. It was inconvenient for me to ask questions, so I continued to listen. "The Northwest Timber Market project has a total investment of 8 million yuan, of which 5 million yuan in cash will be borne by us. Our shares are 62%. The other 38% of the shares was the land valuation of the land used for the big market project (including the land's three supplies and one leveling) of 2.5 million yuan and the local related taxes and fees of 500,000 yuan.”Hua explained the investment framework of this cooperation project. "Five million in cash is not a small number. Where can I find so much money?”I interrupted. Hua said,"According to the time requirement, we have already brought 200,000 yuan.”200,000 yuan was really not a match for an 8 million yuan investment project. But I know that this is Hua's best effort. "What are the locals doing now?”"They're doing three supplies and one leveling." Hua replied. "Where are we going to get the remaining 4.8 million in cash?”I really don't know where he's going to get a few million dollars. "Money is not a problem. I'll take care of it. You don't have to worry about it. You and Sha just stay here and keep an eye on the construction progress of the project.”Hua seemed to have already had the confidence to make money and deliberately said it to make people feel relieved.
As the car drove out of the valley, the slope of the road slowly became gentler. The view around us could be expanded a little. Don't think that we had already walked out of the mountains. The so-called broader view was that we had entered a long mountain dock (flat land in the mountains). We were still surrounded by mountains in front, back, left, and right, but we were slightly further away. The streams flowing out of many valleys converged into a river in the middle of the long corridor basin. This river divided the basin into two narrow and long areas on the left and right banks. The houses of the residents and the buildings of various units in the county occupied the two banks of the river. To put it bluntly, this county was just like the "Jiapi Gully" in the novel "Forest of Snowy Plains". However, as a county, it was needless to say that there were more people and houses than the "Jiapi Gully" in the novel.
We drove along the road on the side of Jiapi Gully to find a bridge to cross the river, because the county government and its various departments were on the other side of the river. We were walking to a town government on the edge of the county town, which seemed more rural. The function level of the module in my brain that controls spatial positioning is too low (I was born with low intelligence and can't upgrade it). Whenever I enter an unfamiliar area (whether it's a city, a mountain, or a countryside), I will lose my sense of direction (commonly known as "falling direction"). Mid-September was close to the autumnal equinox (day and night equate equally). At five o'clock in the afternoon, in the basin surrounded by mountains, the shadow of the sun had disappeared, and I couldn't tell north from south. But in my mind, it felt like we were going south. The driver said that I had it the wrong way and we were still going north. However, the biological "locator" in my mind stubbornly believed that it was heading south, and it was almost impossible to reverse its location. Perhaps the driver thought that I was too childish and ridiculous in this aspect, so he didn't argue with me and let me think that I should go west. Hua also changed direction. He said that he didn't know which direction our car was going in. Anyway, it was in the direction of the county town.
Our car came to a bridge. Hua asked the driver to slow down. As soon as we got on the bridge, Hua asked the driver to stop on the left side of the bridge. He called me to get out of the car and pointed upstream (to the left side of the bridge)."Look, that's our construction site.”I looked in the direction he was pointing at. About a hundred meters away from the bridge, three dump trucks were pouring yellow soil onto the river bank. A bulldozer was pushing the fallen soil away and flattening it. There were also a few people pointing and gossiping. Hua said,"The area of this river bank is not small. The surveying data provided to us said that there are more than 200 acres of land. We will start with 80 acres for the first phase of the project. If we can make money in the first phase, we'll continue with the second phase.”
