Chapter 267 Return to the City
On the second day of the New Year, the weather had been gloomy since early in the morning, and the thick clouds drifting over from the side of the mountain looked heavy, like a layer of black-gray rock that might fall down at any time.
Last night's weather forecast said that there would be heavy snow today, but it was in the afternoon. But when I woke up early in the morning, fine shards of ice began to float on the gloomy sky. Yes, it was not snow, but ice. Scum.
This time when he returned to Wonsong-ri from Seoul and passed through Xinzheng, An Rusong did not plan to stay at home longer. According to the previously planned itinerary, he should have returned to Seoul with Rubin early this morning, but because he planned to invest in building a factory He had to stay one more day. But no matter what, he must rush back to Seoul tomorrow, because according to Jenny's previous agreement with him, the next two or three days will be the time for him to meet with Leonard, and he cannot miss this meeting.
Since he has to rush back to Seoul tomorrow, he has to leave today, because if the snow falls heavily, Yeongdong Expressway will definitely be closed, and the lower road going south is rugged and will be covered with a layer of snow. , he probably wouldn’t be able to leave, so he had to get back to Seoul before the snow got serious.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the originally finely crushed ice slag began to be mixed with snowflakes the size of soybean grains. It was just that the snowflakes were not very dense and sparse, but it was obvious that it had not been snowing for a long time that day. .
I also chatted with An’s father, An’s mother, and three brothers including Ruze for a while, especially telling the three brothers to get down and study hard, mainly to learn management things from the person in charge of the toy factory until When it was almost half past nine, An Rusong took Rubin with him and went out together with Luo Minzhi, who was full of energy.
The Mercedes-Benz passed through the village in the fine snow, and met up with Luo Shengkui, who had been waiting there for a long time, in front of the house of the village leader, Luo Shengkui, and then drove out of Yuantongli in tandem and headed straight for the Lingdong Expressway. .
Yeongdong Expressway leads from Seoul to the east coast of the peninsula and almost crosses the entire Gangwon Province. It is also the best choice for Wonton-ri to communicate with the outside world. But Yuantongli is not right next to Lingdong Expressway. As Luo Shengkui said, there is still a distance of 12 kilometers from Yuantongli to Lingdong Expressway.
A 12-kilometer road may not sound that long, but don’t forget that Yuantongli is in a mountainous area, where the rolling Garry Mountains are located. This 12-kilometer road is not only rugged and difficult, but also dangerous along the way. Pass through four rocky sections. It's okay if it's sunny, but if it rains or snows, this road will be impossible to walk.
Therefore, this section of road is not easy to repair without investing a lot of money. Otherwise, it will not become a problem that plagues Yuantongli.
Before, why did Luo Shengkui not hesitate to offend Kim Xiyeol and also wanted An Rusong to build the toy factory in Yuantongli? In addition to looking at the 300 jobs in the toy factory, he also hopes that An Rusong can invest a sum of money to repair the 12 kilometers of road.
This is the 12-kilometer road connecting Wonton-ri to Yeongdong Expressway. If Won-tong-ri doesn’t repair it, don’t expect Sudong-myeon to invest public funds in repairing it. With the scale of one hundred households in Won-tong-ri, there is no way to repair it. We cannot afford to build such a road.
The propaganda slogan says: "If you want to be rich, build roads first." This sentence is not only accurate in China, but also accurate in South Korea.
The two cars climbed through the 12-mile mountain road under fine snowflakes. When the Lingdong Expressway could be seen in the distance ahead, the Hyundai sedan in front slowed down and slowly stopped on the roadside while grinding the gravel.
In the Mercedes-Benz, Luo Minzhi, who was in charge of driving, also turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the side of the road. After seeing the driver's door of the car in front open and Luo Shengkui, who was wearing a black down jacket, jumping out of the car, he pushed the door open and got out, then walked to the door behind and opened the door for An Rusong.
"Rusong, look here." When An Rusong got off the car, Luo Shengkui had already walked closer. He breathed on his hands, but glanced at the fields on the south side of the road and said, "From here From the beginning of the road to the Qingze River in the south, it is our Yuantongli land.”
Perhaps because the country is small and the people are weak, but nationalism is relatively high, Koreans always like to exaggerate. Just like the so-called Cheongze River, it is actually a small ditch less than three meters wide. In China, this thing is called a drainage ditch, but in Korea, it is a river!
After Luo Shengkui said this, he paused, looked around with a guilty conscience, and then continued: "Rusong, don't listen to the nonsense that Chief Jin Mian said, our Yuantongli is yours after all. Gen, you grew up among us, didn’t you? So, why are you able to take care of our own people? Why don't we give priority to our own people? Yes, Mr. Jin is right, we don't have that many young people, let alone three hundred people, even one hundred people can't come together, but so what? If Yuantongli can’t gather 300 people, why not Qingxili and Anyuanli?”
"As for the land, you don't have to worry. As long as it is what you need, whether it is 200 acres or 300 acres, we can take care of it for you." As he said this, Luo Shengkui seemed to have confidence again. He raised his arms. He drew a circle in front of his eyes and raised his voice. He said, "Uncle Shengkui is not bragging. If you think this land is not enough, we can expand to the south." "It seems that the south of Qingze River is not our place anymore, right?" An Rusong asked. Looking far away to the south, he chuckled softly.
In the memory left to him by his predecessor, there is a lot of information about the land in Yuantongli. It can be seen that his predecessor actually had a certain obsession with the land. Thinking about it, after all, he had been renting other people's land since he was a child. The reason why he left Yuantongli was because he could no longer support his family by renting land from Luo Jinggen's family.
However, An Rusong's ideas were completely different from those of his predecessor. He had never thought about farming or becoming a landlord. That was too low-level.
"Yes, the land to the south of Qingze River is Qingxili, and the land to the west of Lingdong Expressway is Anyuanli," Luo Shengkui nodded, but then added, "But you can rest assured, as long as you are sure If you want to invest in building a factory here, I can go out and talk to them about the land and ensure that there will be no problems.”
An Rusong withdrew his gaze from a distance, took out a cigarette from his pocket, gave one to Luo Shengkui and Luo Minzhi next to him, lit it for them, and then said with a smile: "Shengkui Uncle, let’s put it this way, I actually have no idea where this factory will be built. I don’t have any specific opinions about the place. It doesn’t matter whether it’s in our Yuantong neighborhood or in another neighborhood. My only request is to resolve the land use issue as soon as possible and at the same time, there should be no disputes. ”
He also lit his cigarette, took a puff, and continued: "My idea is that if Uncle Shengkui can solve the land problem, then the recruitment of workers in the factory can be entrusted to Uncle Shengkui." At that time, Uncle Shengkui can set up an agency, and the factory can hand over the recruitment of workers to your agency. As long as the workers you send to the factory meet the requirements, the factory will not care how your agency operates. "
Luo Shengkui obviously didn't understand what he meant, and the expression on his face looked a bit confused. There was no way. Although he was the head of Yuantongli, this small and broken village was too isolated and had limited opportunities to contact the outside world. What's more, Luo Shengkui had no chance to contact this kind of labor export business. Therefore, even if An Rusong made him a promise, but he didn't understand how much profit was hidden in it.
Seeing that this guy didn't understand what he meant, An Rusong smiled, turned around and walked towards the parking place, saying as he walked: "Uncle Shengkui, I suggest you go and find out about the agency first. I'll wait for you. I understand. You can call me at any time. As for building the factory, there is no rush.”
As he spoke, he had already walked to the side of the Mercedes-Benz. "As for the land, I want it here, south of the Qingze River and west of the Lingdong Expressway. I have temporarily planned 200 acres of land. Uncle Shengkui will go and talk to the owners of those lands." Let’s talk.”
For the rest of the An family, even Luo Shengkui and Jin Mianchang, An Rusong's investment in building a toy factory is a big deal, because it not only affects the tax revenue of Shuidongmyeon, but also affects 300 people. Jobs, but for An Rusong, this investment is nothing at all. Let alone the toy factory having orders, it is unlikely to lose money. Even if it does, what will happen?
In the world of An Rusong's previous life, there was a joke about the weather forecast in South Korea. The general meaning is that the weather forecast in South Korea is very simple. There is no need to report the specific city weather. It only needs to say "how it is across the country."
Of course, this is just a joke. Although South Korea is small, it is not that small. But the fact is that once there is rain or snow, most of the peninsula will be affected.

After saying goodbye to Luo Shengkui, An Rusong got on the Lingdong Expressway around 10:30 in the morning. The snow was not heavy at that time, but there were some snowflakes the size of peas mixed in the pitter-pattering ice residue, but By the time the Mercedes-Benz entered downtown Seoul, the snow had already fallen as heavy as wadding, and everywhere in the city where snow could hang was already faintly white.
When An Rusong returned to Seoul, he did not go directly back to Songquandong mansion, but went directly to NGN Company.
Today, all the Korean employees of the company are on holiday, but the dozen Lao Maozi programmers are not. After all, for Lao Maozi, Xinzheng is not a holiday at all, and they have left their hometown and have nothing to do in Korea. Relatives, even if they are on vacation, have nowhere to go.
However, the reason why An Rusong rushed to the company as soon as he returned to Seoul was not because of these old-fashioned employees. He went there for Jenny.
