Chapter 1: Two strong men share a field at the beginning
In 1998, it was the 12th day of the 10th month of the lunar calendar.
Yujia Village, Western Shandong Province.
early morning.
In the dim old adobe house, Yu Yang was wrapped in a military cotton coat, sitting on a long bench, carefully looking at the papers covering the Eight Immortals table.
Opposite is the village chief, flanked by three bank personnel.
"Comrade Yu Yang, as long as you sign these contracts, when the trial is held, the court will definitely give a light sentence and let Yu Jianjun go home for the New Year."
The village chief echoed: "Yes, this is your father's chance to get out of the lawsuit, so hurry up and agree."
Yu Yang's face was expressionless, but he was thinking quickly in his heart.
Yu Jianjun, the honest and trustworthy father of the family, actually did not commit any crime.
He just saved some money by raising pigs, and then he was tricked by the township leaders into buying a brick kiln in the township that had been out of service for many years at a super low price of 100,000 yuan.
A tunnel kiln with a daily output of 60,000 red bricks has a total value of at least millions.
If the villagers half-sell and half-give it to Lao Yu, there must be many problems.
For example, it is difficult to ignite, the temperature cannot be reached, the embryo body collapses in the kiln, and the flue is in disrepair.
In order to build the kiln, Lao Yu borrowed money from here and there, sold his old house, transferred his farmland, and even signed several loans.
Who would have thought that less than half a year after it was put into operation, in the middle of this year, a once-in-a-century flood would soak the adobe bricks, corrode the new bricks, destroy the cave dwellings, and delay orders.
Lao Yu had no money in his pocket and could not resume production, so his loan was overdue.
Since non-repayment of debts is a civil dispute, the court will not decide and the police will not care.
Creditors who were worried that Lao Yu would run away took turns reporting brick kilns for land theft, substandard emissions, and misappropriation of collective assets in order to keep Lao Yu in the local area.
Soon, Lao Yu entered the detention center, waiting for a series of lawsuits.
The bank came to my door today, just to ask my family to change the original credit loan into a mortgage loan, and then take away the brick kiln.
In another time and space, my family believed that the value of the brick kiln was far greater than the bank loan, but they never agreed. As a result, the two parties struggled for several years. In the end, the brick kiln was not saved, and Lao Yu was still in and out of the detention center, spending three and a half years in vain.
Now reborn...
Yu Yang didn't intend to waste time on this matter, he just wanted a start-up capital.
Then build a construction team, start with small projects, grow bigger and stronger, and become a general contractor of projects, and then switch careers and work in real estate. By the time you are in your thirties, you will be a small fortune.
As for stocks, funds, lottery tickets, etc., after working in engineering for a lifetime, we really don’t understand those things.
After Yu Yang thought about it, he said: "The shares of the brick kiln do belong to me. I also agree to use the brick kiln to pay off the debt, but I hope you will lend me 500,000 yuan at a low interest rate and pay it back in two years. This is a prerequisite."
"Are you crazy for another 500,000 yuan loan?" Village Chief Yu couldn't believe it.
The business manager sent by the bank shook his head in denial, "You don't have the financial ability. It's impossible for your superiors to agree."
"Then there's no need to talk."
"If you don't talk about it, your father will go in." The village chief said urgently.
"Just go in."
"That's jail time."
"It's better to go to jail than to stay in a detention center."
"???"
"You don't understand." After Yu Yang finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "You will understand in the future."
"???"
"Don't worry, when I make money, I will give him another one with better conditions."
Negotiation requires skills, and Yu Yang's meaning is very clear. If I don't agree, I won't let this father go, and you guys won't be able to get the money.
The bank staff was not in a hurry, but the village chief stood up.
At this moment, I saw the village chief's son, a fat boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, rushing into the house with a loud voice.
"Dad, it's bad, all four wheels of the car parked by the bank at the village entrance were stolen!"
"The man who killed a thousand swords dared to come to our village and act like a monster..."
Before the village chief could curse and go out, the bank staff rushed out first.
In 1998, no matter how bad a car was, it cost hundreds of thousands.
Four wheels probably don’t cost an average person more than half a year’s salary.
"What a wonderful time."
Yu Yang looked at the backs of everyone leaving, shook his head and sighed.
Then he pulled on the cotton-soled cotton shoes that his mother had given him and walked out of the old adobe tile house while thinking about how to make money.
After his old house was transferred by Lao Yu, my grandfather was worried that his daughter-in-law would get divorced, so he secretly bought the yard with his own money.
The area is comparable to half a football field, but the house only has two main rooms and a large east room with an earthen stove and a fire pit.
In my impression, my mother still lived here at first. Later, after Lao Yu was arrested, she ran back to her parents’ house to borrow money and went to court through connections.
And Yu Yang.
When Lao Yu was arrested, his senior year of high school had just started. He was young and energetic, so he talked to his class teacher, ignored the other person's persuasion, dropped out of school and went home, where he used the fire pit to cook bean sprouts, hoping to pay off his father's debt.
Later, Lao Yu was released from prison and was able to make a comeback and start a general contracting project, which was largely due to Dou Sprout.
"Should we continue soaking the bean sprouts?"
Yu Yang walked to the east room and opened the closed door. I was shocked to find two strong men squatting inside.
One is busy cooking a pot outside.
One was tinkering with something on the fire bed in the inner room.
Yu Yang didn't remember meeting these two people in another time and space.
But when I glanced at the opponent's arms, which were comparable to the thighs of ordinary people, I felt that if I had been punched, I would most likely have to lie down for half a year, so I didn't dare to say a word.
The problem is, if this continues, it won't be a problem.
Because the soybeans that had sprouted in many enamel pots were all spilled by the strong man onto the fire bed.
And a ‘skylight’ was opened on the roof.
This is the foundation of our business.
Yu Yang was furious and rushed to the strong man cooking the pot. He took off his military cotton coat and put it on the man.
"Brother, is it cold?"
"..."
"Brother, where are you from?"
"..."
"Brother, how much money does my father owe you?"
"..."
"Brother, please give me a shout!"
"squeak!"
"Brother is so funny."
Yu Yang smiled dryly and was about to change the topic, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a row of translucent fonts floating above his elder brother's head.
[Farmer-Zhao Qian, from Beihe, masters agricultural and construction skills. ]
"This..."
Yu Yang rubbed his eyes and turned to look at another strong man squatting on the fire bed and working hard.
[Farmer-Sun Li, from Nanhu, masters agricultural and construction skills. ]
As for the fire kang, there is also a row of small characters floating on it.
[Improved farmland: primary, with an area of 1 centimeter (6.6 square meters), which can speed up the growth of crops. Currently, soybeans are planted. If there is sufficient sunshine, it is expected to mature in 30 days. ]
This...
Two strong men in the same field at the beginning?
civilization?
Warcraft?
Age of Empires?
Yu Yang suppressed his surprise and walked into the inner room.
I saw the soybean sprouts spread on the fire bed, with sharp corners visible to the naked eye, growing, growing, growing to two fingers high...
When the sun rises three o'clock in the morning, the sun shines in through the 'skylight' on the roof, and the yellow bean sprouts turn green, turn green, and turn into green bean sprouts visibly...
"stop!"
Although bean sprouts are common in rural areas, this is winter.
Especially in this era when plastic greenhouses are not very popular, bean sprouts are even rarer.
If you sell it, you can make some money.
"In less than a morning, you can grow a fire pit. We are going to make it happen!"
When the strong man heard the shouting, he stopped what he was doing, and the growth rate of the bean sprouts also slowed down.
Yu Yang suppressed his excitement, and while observing the strong man's reaction, he tore the delicious ingredients with their roots entangled together into small squares of 20x20cm, and put them into the woven basket prepared for selling bean sprouts.
The fire pit is 2 meters wide and 3 meters long, and the bean sprouts planted can fill four large baskets.
After Yu Yang finished his work, he went out and looked at the sky. It was already noon.
He lowered his head to look at the heavy woven basket and called to the strong man cooking the pot anxiously, "Brother, are you going to the market?"
Before he finished speaking, the eldest brother stood up and folded the four baskets of bean sprouts into two parts. He took the shovel, removed the shovel head, and used the two ends of the wooden stick to lift the woven basket. With a trembling step, he walked out of the yard in the blink of an eye and disappeared into the alley. mouth.
Yu Yang wrapped himself in a military cotton coat, pulled on his cotton shoes and ran after him, but even the shoes ran away and he couldn't catch up.
"Brother, wait for me, do you know where the episode is?"
Passing by the entrance of the village, the car driven by the bank was carried on the ground by four piles of red bricks, and the wheels had not yet been found.
Yu Yang now doesn't care about brick kilns, loans, banks, Lao Yu, or building an engineering team.
His mind is now full of beans.
"Brother, turn, turn, turn left!"
