On the 10th of May, the Xiashan dam was washed away by the flood, and more than ten days had passed since the incident of the cliff blocking the river. Many people went to the scene to watch, especially the people along the Dongjiang River in Guan City. They all brought tributes to pay their respects.
The stone mountain was missing about a quarter of its original size. From afar, it looked like a chair. The "chair surface" was a flat stone surface of nearly 1500 square meters. The "chair back" was a 100-meter-tall vertical section. The section was smooth and flat. The common people knew very well that this was not something that could be done by human strength. Therefore, many people came to burn incense. The ground of the cliff was covered with a thick layer of red firecracker paper.
The higher-ups were afraid of causing controversy in society, so the newspapers only reported briefly. The country had also sent an investigation team down. As for the results of the investigation? Not many people knew.
The scene of the giant rock dam was very spectacular. A thick water dragon spewed out of the discharge outlet and bombarded the water downstream with a loud sound. The intersection between the giant rock and the mountains on both sides of the river had been treated by Dai Xuan, so no water came out.
Dai Xuan received a call from Zhao Jun, saying that he had already arrived at Guan City. He asked Dai Xuan to go out and meet him, so Dai Xuan asked for leave and drove out of Guan City.
Now that the flood had receded, Guan City had returned to its calm state. White smoke began to rise from the chimneys of the heavy industrial area again, and the train station square had returned to its former liveliness. In a guest room of the East River Hotel, Zhao Jun and Dai Xuan were chatting.
Zhao Jun said," I've already been to the special zone. It's already getting lively there. Many people are looking for opportunities to make a fortune there. The country has invested a lot in infrastructure. In another year and a half, there will definitely be big changes. I want to open a big hotel there. What do you think?”。
Dai Xuan nodded and said," I think it's fine. If you want to build it, build it high-end and grand. Don't be as petty as this East River Hotel. Choose a place with good scenery and build it at a height of more than 200 meters.”。
Zhao Jun rolled his eyes and said,"Do you know how tall the tallest building in the country is?" The bell tower in Hui Province was only 80 meters tall. Putting aside whether it could be built 200 meters tall, the cost of this construction might be an astronomical figure.”。
Dai Xuan said," No matter how bold the people are, the land will be big. If we want to do it, we have to do it first in the country. That way, it will be easier to attract customers. Money is not a problem."”，Dai Xuan liked to do things grandly.
Zhao Jun said," Money isn't a problem. The problem is that we don't have enough money. The two of us only have a few tens of millions in total. If we build it according to what you said, it will cost at least 100 million.”。
"I have a few tons of gold here, it should be worth a few hundred million."”，With that, he took out a gold ingot from his bag and handed it to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun took it from his hand and looked at it. The gold ingot was engraved with the word "Guangxu". "This is considered an antique, right?" Zhao Jun asked. I'll take this first and see if I can find a way to sell it for a good price. Since you want to make it bigger, I'll get someone to design it. Then, we'll calculate how much it will cost. Then, the two of us can discuss it.”。
Dai Xuan nodded and said," I heard that the best hotel is called a five-star hotel. Then we'll build it according to the six-star standard. You'd better go outside and take a look at how those developed countries build it. It would be even better if it could be built to a thousand meters high.”，Dai Xuan thought of the thousands of feet tall pagoda-shaped building in the Immortal Alliance of the Divine Saturn planet. It was made of huge white jade and the pagoda building soared into the sky. It was very spectacular.
Zhao Jun almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He said,"Stop dreaming. With the current technology, it's impossible to build such a tall building. It's a good idea to go out and inspect. Now that the United States is the most developed, and our two countries have restored their relations, I want to go there and take a look.”。
Dai Xuan shook his head." I'm not going. The teacher has a problem with me always taking leave."”。
"Alright then! Also, can't that monkey brew more wine? 200,000 bottles a year was far from enough!”
Dai Xuan said," There are a lot of wines, but most of them are aged wines. They are all over a hundred years old. Some are even 200 years old. How much do you want to sell such wines for? Those were the legendary immortal brew.”。
Zhao Jun drooled when he heard that. He said,"Take a few bottles and drink them tonight.”。
In the evening, in the hibiscus room of Donghe Hotel, Dai Xuan invited a few acquaintances to accompany Zhao Jun for dinner. There was Old Guo from the Steel Factory, Director Guo from the Education Bureau, Director Zhao from the supply and marketing cooperative, Deputy Director Chen from the Mining Bureau, Teacher Yang, Li Jun, Wang Hanchao, and others. Dai Xuan did not dare to take out the 200-year-old spirit peach wine. He took out three boxes of 100-year-old spirit peach wine.
"Young Dai, why is the Monkey Wine you brought today light purple? The taste was also very different. The fragrance of the wine was very strong. The wine was hanging in the cup. It seemed that it was not young.”Director Guo said to Dai Xuan.
"Yes, this is a hundred-year-old wine. Everyone is in luck today.”Dai Xuan said.
During the aging process, this spirit peach wine was nourished by spiritual energy, and it looked a little purple.
Dai Xuan had already introduced Zhao Jun to them. Everyone present was a regular drinker. After hearing Dai Xuan's words, they all picked up their wine glasses and tasted it.
Zhao Jun drank a cup and said," It's indeed very different. After drinking it, I feel very comfortable. I feel like I can kill a cow now."”。
After Director Guo finished his glass, he closed his eyes and savored it. When he opened his eyes, he said,"I saw the purple peach blossoms all over the mountains and plains. It felt like I had returned to the time when I was dating my wife.”。
The others also nodded in agreement. They all had their own tastes and were full of praise. Halfway through the meal, two boxes of wine were finished. Dai Xuan took out another two boxes. Everyone drank to their heart's content before leaving.
The next day, Zhao Jun left and Dai Xuan returned to school.
Ten minutes after class, Dai Xuan said to the drink,""Noodle, it seems that you haven't been slacking off in your cultivation. You're already at the 2nd level of the Refinement Stage.”。
"How powerful is the second level?" Yang Liu asked. How many men can you beat?"
Dai Xuan said,"How much do you hate men? How many more do you want to beat up?" This was a society of law and order, so there was no need to fight and kill all day long. Also, if someone bullied you, you had to know how to retaliate. If you used your luck to slap them, you could break a tree. If you used too much force and killed them, it would be troublesome.”。
Yang Liu nodded in agreement. "You broke the world record in the high jump last time. Director Guo asked if you were interested in becoming an athlete in the province. He'll help you fight for it again."
Yang Liu shook her head and said,"No, I'm not interested."”。
The days passed by. The group of " Jianghu people " whose grades were hovering around the passing line were very happy. They did not have the sense of urgency that other students had about to take their graduation exams. They now had a lot of money in their pockets. They were wearing clothes made of good fabric and leather shoes. They were smoking Double Happiness. Liu Wen no longer went to the machine repair shop to pick up junk, and Liu Lang no longer only wore that set of clothes all day. No one went to the small shop to keep accounts anymore. All transactions were made in cash. All they wanted was to finish their exams as soon as possible and go on vacation. They also had to pick up the copper ores that had fallen by the roadside. In the past two months, they had earned a few thousand yuan.
On June 20th, the mine security department brought a few people to find Dai Xuan. Section Chief Zhang said to Dai Xuan,"Young Dai, they are from the provincial zoo. I heard that you have two tigers, so they want to buy them from you. Now that your tiger is so big and looks very dangerous, the people in the mine have objections.”。
Dai Xuan thought for a moment and decided to sell them. He didn't have time to take care of them. In the end, the two tigers were sold for 500 yuan. When they parted ways, Wang Xiuxiu cried and ignored Dai Xuan for several days.
A few days later, the middle school graduation exam was over, and everyone was free.
When he returned to his room at night, Dai Xuan saw bags of copper ore piled up in the room. He couldn't help but admire those kids. It was not easy to collect more than a ton of copper ore in a day by relying on a few bicycles for transportation.
The task of collecting copper ores lasted for another week before they could no longer do it. This was because a large canvas covered the roof of the car that was used to transport the copper ores. No more copper ores fell to the roadside. This made Liu Wen, He Jun, and the others furious." God Thief " and " Cripple Hao " even wanted to resume their old business and go to the mine to collect the copper ores. However, more than ten kilometers was too far, so they could only give up in the end.
On July 2nd, the Guanshi Steel Plant was recruiting workers in the mine. Nearly ten people from the two classes of the third grade signed up. Including some unemployed youths in the mine, nearly 50 people went to work in the steel plant.
Liu Lang, Chen Zhixiong, Yan Xiaojun, and Zhu Xiaogang were from Grade 9 Class-A. A group of people gathered together to send them off at the guest house's restaurant.
At the dining table, Liu Lang pulled Dai Xuan over to drink. He held his glass and said,""Master Dai, let me toast to you again. Thanks to your care this year, I have been living a good life. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know.”。
Over the past year, Liu Lang had been drinking and eating meat with Dai Xuan and the others. He was no longer the person who could get drunk with just half a tael. Now, he had a tael of white wine in his hand and drank it all in one gulp. He had already drunk a few glasses.
Chen Zhixiong, Zhu Xiaogang, and Yan Xiaojun also clinked glasses with Dai Xuan a few times. Although they had just graduated from junior high school, most of them were already 18 years old due to the delay of ten years. Most of them were mischievous and mischievous, so they all drank without hesitation. In addition, they were classmates. After graduation, everyone had to go their separate ways. They felt a little sad, so they toasted to each other at the dinner table. Everyone thought that they were Wu Song, and in the end, they all drank until they were drunk cats.
On the 10th of July, Zhao Jun returned from his inspection trip. The two of them met at the East River Hotel.
Zhao Jun took many photos of foreign hotels. They were basically photos of five-star hotels with a height of about 80 meters. There were all kinds of styles. The two of them chose a photo as a reference. In the photo, the main building of the hotel had 30 floors and was more than 100 meters high. There was a marble curtain wall hanging outside. Beside the main building was a four-story building with an area of nearly 5,000 square meters. Zhao Jun would use this photo as a reference to hire someone to design and make a cost estimate.
After the plan was finalized, Zhao Jun asked Dai Xuan about the funding,""Can the gold be shipped to Hong Kong? The gold ingots were too young and too large to be sold as antiques. They could only be sold as gold and could be easily sold in Hong Kong.”。
Dai Xuan said," You go and find the buyer first. I'll be responsible for shipping the goods over. We'll meet in Hong Kong in three days."”。
