I didn't change it at the beginning. I insisted that there was a problem with his charger, or that the voltage was insufficient. I also made a bet that if there was no problem, I would double the compensation for a few cells that could not be charged.It's a lot of money for a battery. This guy was impatient, so he asked me to go back to the company with him to see for myself with a multimeter and a new charger.

As a result, I lost two batteries, and I didn't even enter the building door. I only saw four security guards and a young woman.Let me tell you, there are secrets designated in that building, and the precautions are too strict, and the patrolling security guards even lead dogs! "

In addition to his talent as a businessman, Thin Monkey had shown his talent as an intelligence officer as early as in Xinjiang Province.Hong Tao was able to successfully infiltrate the Redeemer base as a fishmonger, more than half of the credit was on him.No, he started to show his talents again, and entered Antong Machinery Company in a very ordinary way, but unfortunately he gained very little.

"There are not many large and medium-sized dogs these days!" Hong Tao nodded, not thinking that the thin monkey got nothing.The security team in the safe zone does not have dogs, but a machinery company founded by refugees raises dogs to guard their homes. In addition to showing that they are rich, it also shows a problem, there is a secret!

"It's not just women and dogs. I also smell a very familiar smell. Guess what it is?" But the thin monkey was obviously not satisfied and Hong Tao nodded. How can you be willing?

"It smells like meat?" Hong Tao really didn't know that the thin monkey had a talent for smell. He only knew that since he left Xinjiang, he always talked about the food there.

"It's the smell of the hospital! At that time, I was always wondering what the smell was, but after I left somewhere, I suddenly remembered that it was the smell of the hospital!" The thin monkey was really not greedy this time, but rather surprised by the smell. .

"Don't get close to them deliberately. This group of people has a complicated background and is not easy to mess with." Hong Tao just wanted to find out why Tuo Xiaojian appeared in Jinmen Port and was related to a group of human traffickers, so he paid attention to and inquired about An. The situation of Tong Machinery Company.

Now it seems that this company is in deep water, and it is likely to be similar in nature to the two transportation companies Changfeng and Zhongyi, and both have backgrounds of alliance government officials.Then check the fart, even if you find out, so what?

Chapter 700 Thief Mouse!

As the new year approaches, the weather is getting colder and the work of the transport team is getting more and more.In the past, I had to wait in line at the gate of the transportation company, but now basically as long as there is an empty car to go, no matter how far or near it is, it will never run empty.

Just going to the North Railway Station to pull coal is not enough. I ran three or four times a day for a week. Not only did the mountains of coal pile up on the freight yard not disappear, but they piled up and piled up.

It wasn't just the transport team that was happy, the new refugees were even happier.Having a job means having enough food to eat. For those of them who still live in the huts, if they can eat one or two full meals a day in the severe winter, they can carry the winter through. May freeze to death.

Every two or three days, a steaming train would rumble into the freight yard from the west, and the carriages were full of coal.Coal can be transported by train, but there is no mechanical assistance for loading and unloading. Compared with labor costs, fuel is too expensive.

In the hours before the train arrives, a large number of refugees will gather on the South Third Ring Road and the West Third Ring Road, slowly moving along the road to the North Station.Every time at this time, the transport team that goes along the way will pick them up for a ride, not only do not charge money, but also find work for them.

It's not that the driver has a good heart, but a win-win situation.There are stevedores for loading coal at the North Station, but there are often no workers after delivery.So what to do?The more ruthless driver unloads the truck himself, saving even the cost of the stevedore.But most of the coachmen are not cruel enough to themselves, and they don't want to get covered in soot, so they simply hire a stevedore from the refugees to follow the cart.

The albatross transport team was not ruthless enough, mainly because Hong Tao's leading role was not good, and the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked.But he didn't lose at all, and he still made money.

What is the matter with this?The ancients said it well, you can eat as much as you can and drink as much as you can, and if you can't figure it out, you will be poor.In the field of calculation, Hong Tao can't be said to be a leader, but also a professional player.

Since he has been transporting coal every day, he led the team for the first time to the Beizhan freight yard.When they arrived at the place, they didn't rush to load the car, and they didn't even line up. They just let people guard the carriage, and ran to the front with their hands in their hands to watch the excitement.

You said that there is nothing to watch when loading coal, but he watched it with great interest. Not only did he watch it, but he also bought standing tickets. Talk nonsense.

"Brother Shu, why don't you let me stand by and watch the fun?" After returning, the scalper didn't understand, and told the tiger about it.Tiger didn't understand even more. It's okay to say that it's okay to entertain the security guards with small favors.

Can you use cigarettes to smoke pictures for the stevedores?There are weighbridges in the freight yard, even if the refugees want to give you more decorations, the people who look at the weighbridges are all full-time station employees, and it would be useless for them not to agree.

"You guys, your eyelids are too shallow. Just looking at the two packs of cigarettes makes me feel distressed, and I don't know the deeper meaning. Fat sheep, change the panel of my car after dinner!" Hong Tao was thinking all the time while eating, The ridicule of scalpers and tigers is not at all taken to heart.

The next day, the bus was dispatched as usual, and three refugees were hired as stevedores before they got on the third ring road, and they agreed to give fifty cents a day for lunch, and big steamed buns would be enough.As a result, he took two trips to work in the safety zone in the north of the city in the morning, and when he came back for lunch at noon, everyone in the yard was dumbfounded.

Among the three carriages, Hong Tao only drove the lead carriage he was driving into the yard, and then removed a few screws on the carriage board, and when it was lifted, it revealed a huge amount of black powder underneath...

Steal coal!Hong Tao and Fei Yang worked for most of the night, and welded a trapezoidal groove with steel plates under the car plate, which is 1 meter wide, 2 meters long, and 0.2 meters deep, with a volume of about 0.4 cubic meters.Calculated according to the density of coal, there are about 1.3 tons in one cubic meter, and it is almost 500 kilograms to fill this tank.

But how to pretend?You can't just lift the car board in the freight yard and put it in the slot first.It was definitely not possible, even if the supervisor liked it, Hong Tao wouldn't.There are big and small coal lumps, and the big ones can't be covered with boards, so it's not obvious to grab them, and it's too untechnical.

Hong Tao wants coal but can't let people find it. This is a technical job.He and Fat Sheep re-made a car board as the cover of the trapezoidal groove. This board is rough and full of seams.

In fact, such car boards are the norm for the transportation team. The three cars used to be made too exquisitely.

But now the rough and cracked car boards are not meant to do as the Romans do, but are used by Hong Tao to steal coal.When the carriage is full of coal and goes on the road, the constant vibration and bump will make the fine coal dust leak into the trapezoidal groove through the gap.

When the carriage leaves the freight yard, it will be weighed, and then a delivery note will be issued with an approximate weight on it, allowing an error of several tens of catties, just because the drivers are afraid that some of the coal will be unloaded and sold for money.

But sometimes there is a weighbridge at the unloading location, and sometimes there is not. Hong Tao can decide how much coal he wants to steal for this trip according to whether there is a weighbridge and whether the unloading unit is strict.As much as a few hundred catties, as little as a hundred catties, how much to steal depends entirely on the cooperation of the stevedores in the freight yard.

Why do you say that, because only coal dust will leak down, and slightly larger coal lumps will not go down.This is Hong Tao's cunning, he smoked and chatted with those small foremen and stevedores every day to make friends, for nothing else but to listen to the greetings when loading the trucks.

The place I went to was not strictly controlled, so if I wanted to steal more, I would say hello to the stevedore, and load less coal and more coal powder; on the contrary, if the inspection was stricter in the place I went to, then I would load more coal Load less coal.

It is often just a few good words about a pack of cigarettes, and you can get a few hundred catties of coal.Anyway, the coal in the freight yard is not owned by the stevedores. The most important thing is that they don't have any responsibility whether they know it or not, and they are happy to sell it for a favor.

Then again, if the place where the goods are delivered is particularly strict, what if the coal needs to be weighed basket by basket?It doesn't matter, Hong Tao will lift the cover and even remove the coal dust, which will not take advantage of the government at all.

You said he was a thief, I'm sorry, if you take the thief and take the stolen goods, who stipulates that there is a hidden slot under the car as a thief?I use it for packing delicates and soft goods, and our carriage is not specially made for coal transportation. It is quite normal to transport valuables XZ on weekdays to avoid being robbed.

Since the end of November, Hong Tao has used this method to continuously pull coal dust into the courtyard at a rate of about half a ton per day.In fact, you can steal more. For example, if you refit all three carriages, you can get back a ton and a half a day at least.

But he didn't do that. It would be very troublesome to refit all three carriages. Just welding the trapezoidal grooves used up all the steel plates recovered from the red zone these days.Iron plates can be used to tear apart cars, but all welding rods must be bought, which are quite expensive.

Could it be that welding rods are more expensive than coal?No, the main reason is that he stole coal dust and came back not to sell it to make money, but to get some briquettes for the refugees in the new sixth district to burn in winter.

They live in flimsy huts, and they must not be willing to buy too much coal for heating.The winter in the capital is still very cold. He has experienced this kind of hardship in Xinjiang Province, and he doesn't want the new refugees to suffer again.

It's still the same logic. On the premise that it doesn't affect his own life, he is willing to use his brain and work harder to help others as much as possible.This is not just a question of whether he has a good heart or not, but a responsibility as a time traveler.After all, after living so many lifetimes, it would be unreasonable to just look after oneself like ordinary people.

Coal Mozi has been brought back, how should it be distributed to the new refugees?Sending them door to door... Hong Tao would not do such a stupid thing.It is true that not everyone can be a good person. If you want to become a living Buddha of thousands of families, if you don't have the confidence of airplanes and cannons, the ending is often very tragic.

Hong Tao has experienced it more than once because of being kind and eventually suffered a big loss, and he can't always fall into the same pit.So he doesn't give it away, he only sells it!

For every refugee who comes to Xiaolou to help shake coal balls, 100 catties can be taken away for free for every 10 catties shaken, and 20 catties can also be bought in installments.Whoever has the strength will come, I am a fucking thief, I can no longer shake coal balls, and then go door-to-door like the third grandson to give away with a smile, that is not called a good person, that is called a big fool!

Chapter 701 The Uninvited Guest

It is said that it is an installment payment, and the price is not much cheaper than the bituminous coal on the market, but the term is a bit long, ten years!Repayment in ten years without mortgage.In fact, it is almost the same as giving away for free. Whether you can live ten years as a low-level refugee is a question.

Maybe next year people will find a better way to live and pat their ass to go to other places. How many people will remember to pay off the briquettes before leaving?For this ratio, Hong Tao's psychological expectation is [-]%, and he feels that the world is still beautiful if it can reach this amount.

Of course, it can't be cheap at all.The small building had to burn the stove to keep warm and cook in winter, but Hong Tao was too lazy to shake the briquettes by himself, it was dirty and tiring.This saves trouble, the refugees work hard to get briquettes, and he also gets briquettes by giving up his face as a thief.Look, it's a win-win again, and the loser is the face and the coalition government.

"Boss Hu...Gong Xi Fa Cai...hahaha..." But just a few days after making the briquettes, two old foxes came to take advantage, and Mrs. Xiushan and Feihu Sun appeared together again.

"Ouch...Old senior, old senior, no wonder the magpies keep screaming in the morning, honored guest, honored guest. Hurry up, please...then who...Little pig, little pig! Go boil the pot of water, hurry up! "

Ever since he brought back a large pile of coal dust and asked refugees to spread coal cakes and cut coal balls on the side of the street, Hong Tao thought that someone should come to him.After so many years of development in the safe zone, although the social division of labor has not yet reached the level of refinement, it has basically completed the land occupation in terms of daily necessities.

According to the scale, each industry is dominated by several local forces.Since there are building materials, entertainment projects, house leasing, and retail and wholesale of small commodities, there is no reason to sell briquettes.

Although this industry is dirty and unremarkable, who can go up to the Three Rings Entertainment City and go down to the early stalls on the street without briquettes?In addition to heating in winter, who can cook and boil water in every household all year round?

So this is a big deal, and the benefits are naturally huge.If anyone can monopolize the briquette market in the safety zone, you don’t need to be cheated by the lack of catties and short pits. You only need to shake your hands when mixing loess, adding 5.00% more and 5.00% less. large.

Now that I suddenly got back so much coal dust, I even asked the refugees to dig loess and spread it on the side of the street to dry the coal balls.What I know is to get some to burn for the refugees, but I don’t know, I must think that this is to grab the market at a low price!

"I'm not Xiaozhu, I'm Zhu Maichen, and I will be a high-ranking official in the future!" A seven or eight-year-old boy came out of the house in response, but instead of boiling water right away, he spoke back to Hong Tao angrily. .

"Okay, okay...Zhu Maichen, Zhu Maichen, go boil the water, Mr. Prime Minister!" This means that the guests are present, and they are embarrassed to break up with a child, otherwise Hong Tao will have to severely derogate this unlucky name.

Misery in youth, divorce in middle age, and imprisonment in old age, the ancient Zhu Maichen took it all. I really don't know how much Sheng Zhangsong didn't want to see this child, so he gave him such a name.

That's right, Zhu Maichen was the thief who stole wires and sold shoes for his uncle in the New Sixth District.But Sheng Zhangsong is neither his own uncle nor his cousin, and has no blood relationship at all.

Sheng Zhangsong lives with two children, a boy and a girl, who are said to be nephews and nieces, but are actually babies picked up on the street.I don't know who was born and didn't want it or couldn't afford it, and threw it away before weaning at the age of a few months.

Now the family of three has moved out from New Sixth District and lives in a small building.At the beginning, he was reluctant to move, and he kept pushing the door. Although Hong Tao didn't say it clearly, he knew in his heart that Sheng Zhangsong was afraid that the two children would learn from his vicious peers and go astray.

But if you understand it, you understand that if you want to teach someone to be bad, you are not allowed to avoid it easily.You're not coming, are you?Nacheng, let the scalper and stupid pig drive the carriage there when they go to work on the construction site, and load the children and furniture away together.Except for the note, not even a stick is left, so live in an empty house if you can.

It’s not in vain to come here, you have to pay rent to live in a house, and it can’t be less than others!Of course, considering that Sheng Zhangsong's family has a heavy burden, the rent can be deducted from his salary.The job is to teach the children in the small building to read for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon every day.

Don't be idle in the rest of the time, go to the warehouse to register the goods collected from the red zone.Sheng Zhangsong is physically weak, cowardly and a little pedantic, but he is still a persistent person. Petty theft and tongue-tasting seem to be impossible at present.

"Uh... this brother..." Feihu Sun wanted to say don't be too busy, but he forgot Hong Tao's name for a while, and felt a little embarrassed.

"Zhou, Zhou Dafu... What a coincidence, Brother Hu is out of the car today. Come, come, please, you two are honored guests regardless of Brother Hu's presence or not!" Hong Tao was quite happy, he wished that others would forget about him.This is not contempt, but it shows that one's hidden work is done well, which is a very high affirmation.

"Using a car? Hey, you two have to make a trip in person for this matter, and send someone to inform you, and it will be over... When will you use it?" After entering the room and sitting down, cigarettes and tea are served, after greetings, explain the purpose of coming .

When Hong Tao heard this, a stone fell from his heart, and it was not because he snatched the share of coal briquettes.But another stone hangs up again, so many transport teams did not choose, why do they have to come here to lose face?

But people have opened their mouths and can't just say that they don't have time, so I have to play tricks. I will ask you which day you will use it, and then wait for Hu Yang to come back to make the decision.They are all adults, and everyone can understand this.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, Feihu didn't make it clear. That's it. The new sixth district is going to start cleaning up the abandoned houses in the south, and let the refugees move in first. Feihu and I will take over the job. .”

Before Sun Feihu could speak, Mrs. Xiushan opened her mouth first. She was more of a thief than Hong Tao. She didn't talk about life and death, but she talked about the cause and effect, which is far away.

"Yes, this is a great thing! Congratulations to you two. In the past, this was entering real estate, and now it can't be wrong. It will definitely make a lot of money!" Hong Tao said in his heart, why are you bothering me? Fudge with pie, this is all left over from our play!

"But after some calculations, I found out that everything is enough, except that there are not enough cars. According to the requirements of the coalition government, except for a small amount of muck used to level the foundation, the rest of the construction waste must be transported to the sixth ring road to fill a section of river ditch .”

"This... three cars are enough!?" The more Hong Tao listened to it, the more he didn't like it, and he didn't bake pies like this.Good guy, you two just count on my three carriages to build the new sixth district, and you can't count on freezing the refugees to death!

"How can it be? I was thinking..." Mrs. Xiushan stroked the white hair around her ears, and decided to change the flavor, but the pie still had to be baked!

"Old sister, let me tell you the truth. When Boss Hu and Brother Zhou first arrived, there was a little misunderstanding between us, but after a period of observation, I feel that the two are very particular people.

Let’s not mention the old sesame seeds and rotten millet, let’s just talk about the coal outside.Brother Zhou, Mrs. Xiushan and I have lived most of our lives. There are many things that you don’t need to listen to what others say. You can understand everything by seeing it with your own eyes.As refugees, we are ashamed to be able to do this. "

Sun Feihu suddenly interrupted Mrs. Xiushan's action of baking pies, and made a gesture of "I want to talk to you". He became emotional while talking, and slapped the armrest of the chair with his big hands.

"Boss Sun, Boss Sun, it's over! Our brothers are all rough people. We have just had enough food and clothing for a few days. How can we have so much thought?"

Looking at Mrs. Xiushan with a calm face on the left, and Sun Feihu who was a little excited on the right, Hong Tao was really confused.No illness or disaster, why do these two have time to come and sing oboe?

"To tell you the truth, Mrs. Xiushan and I may both fall into the cleaning project of the New Sixth District. The reason is the car. If Brother Zhou doesn't bother you, then I'll talk about it. Originally, I didn't want to come... "

Regarding Hong Tao's question, Sun Feihu expressed his understanding, but before he got to the point, he had to express his position again, explaining that he did not intend to set the trap, for fear of causing misunderstanding.

Chapter 702

"Boss Sun, you are considered a senior in the safe zone. You have seen the world and have a wide network of contacts. It is said that it is not our newcomer's turn to dictate. But what you said is serious, so I will listen to Brother Hu, but the big idea is still there. He has to take it."

Whether facing Mrs. Xiushan's pie or Sun Feihu's true temperament, Hong Tao has made up his mind, let's act, if you are willing to act, I am willing to watch.But it is impossible to buy a ticket to enter the venue. We have already prepared to retreat, who would not pretend to be a grandson.

"Hey, it's hard to explain in one word. This matter has to be talked about more than a year ago..." Feihu Sun was not vague. I didn't run away.

"Boss Sun, can I understand this way? If I help you this time, the albatross transport team will not be able to get work from the transport company in the future. After this year, the license plate and pass will not be rented either?"

But the audience is not the same as the audience. Hong Tao only listened to it for more than 20 minutes.

According to Sun Feihu's description, he and Sun Changzhong of the transportation company were not only comrades-in-arms, but also one of the leaders who organized refugees to build utopia in the safe zone.

But the paths the two took in the end were different. Sun Changzhong defected to the alliance government. It cannot be said that he was stabbed in the back, but he lost the chain at a critical moment.

After Sun Changzhong established the transportation company, he almost monopolized the transportation business in the safe zone.Why do you say almost, because there is one industry where he can't get jobs, the infrastructure projects of the logistics department.

Sun Feihu organized refugees to set up a construction company. The counterpart department happened to be the logistics department, and most of the old relationships were concentrated here.But he couldn't get a transportation license issued by the Ministry of Transport, so he couldn't build his own transportation team. If he had work, he had to hire a transportation team affiliated with the transportation company.

As the saying goes, if you cooperate, you will benefit from fighting, but you will suffer from both. Although the two did not deal with each other very well, they still came together for their respective businesses.Sun Feihu gave up the transportation business of the infrastructure department, and Sun Changzhong provided vehicles for free when the construction company had transportation needs.

But this kind of cooperation has changed again since this spring. With the continuous expansion of the alliance and the upgrading of the defense line of the Second Ring Road, more and more infrastructure businesses have been developed.

Sun Feihu's construction company is naturally the beneficiary and can eat fat every day.Sun Changzhong's transportation company has become a victim, not only can't even drink soup, but also has to take a car for free to help with transportation.

In fact, Sun Changzhong still made a lot of money if he counted the freight bills he got from the logistics and infrastructure department over the years.But most of people can take advantage of this thing but not suffer losses. They have taken advantage of it for several years, but now they are not happy when they suffer a loss.

What if you are not happy?Sun Changzhong must also have a high-level relationship. After receiving the news that infrastructure construction will be increased in the next year or two, his careful thinking immediately became active.

Instead of losing money to help the construction company transport materials in the next year or two, it is better to take the opportunity to set up a construction company, no longer satisfying the transportation industry, but also want to get involved in the construction industry.

But the infrastructure department is Sun Feihu's old relationship. Just like others can't get involved in the transportation industry, Sun Changzhong can't get the infrastructure projects in the new safety zone.So he found Feihu Sun and planned to set up a joint venture construction company, and he would pay to expand the scale of the construction company and prepare to do a lot.

But Sun Feihu is not stupid, he has been tricked once in the past, and he knows that this woman has a character of being a mother, and he is not a good partner for a partnership, so he directly rejected him.

Of course, he must also understand that the construction industry will be very popular in the next two years. If you want to expand the scale, you just have to pay for it yourself.

The business negotiation collapsed, and Sun Changzhong didn't intend to let it go, so he took a slant and unilaterally tore up the private agreement between the two of them back then, and no longer provided vehicles to the construction company.I would rather not have the business of the infrastructure department, but force Sun Feihu to submit.

This really pushed Sun Feihu to a dead end. There were only two choices before him, either to cooperate with Sun Changzhong to start a construction company, or to build a transportation team by himself.He is really not happy with the former, and he really has no conditions for the latter.Both horses and carts can be bought, but what about the coachman?It is useless to have a car without a driver.

No, when they were desperate, they suddenly thought of the albatross transport team, and planned to come over and ask if they could cooperate.As for how Mrs. Xiushan got involved, Hong Tao knew without asking.She must be the investor who cooperated with Sun Feihu to expand the construction company. Who would get up early if they don't want to make a profit?

"..." Sun Feihu was a little surprised. Zhou Dafu was only Hu Yang's deputy in these few contacts, and he showed a good force value everywhere, as if his brain was not very good.Why did I suddenly get enlightened today? I haven't said a lot of things before, so I just pointed to the key issues.

"There is a high probability that this is the case! But things will turn around soon. From the beginning of spring next year, a large number of new refugees will arrive. At that time, not only will there be a new sixth district, but there may also be a new seventh district.

If Boss Hu and Brother Zhou are willing to help, next year they won’t have to do the work of the transportation company anymore. Just transporting lime, cement, and sand from the Yongding River from the lime factory in Xishan can last until autumn next year.

Don't worry about it in the future, we can't do anything about the list from the transportation company, but there are still some solutions for transportation needs related to infrastructure.In the past, it was just that it was unnecessary to get stuck because of this little thing, but this time they went a little too far, and they simply did their own thing! "

Seeing that Feihu Sun didn't answer right away, Mrs. Xiushan took over and explained.To say that this old Japanese lady is really fluent in Chinese, not only is she articulate, but she is also very good at expressing content.The most important thing is to have a deep understanding of the connotation of Chinese, and to explain clearly the gains and losses of cause and effect in a few words.

"Oh... That's right... Excuse me, both of you, but since it's business, you have to be straightforward. Can I ask, what benefits does the albatross have in this matter?"

So far, Hong Tao has roughly understood what the two of them are going to do. This is to encourage himself to break the monopoly of the transportation company and completely get rid of the dilemma that the construction company is restricted by the transportation team.

They have this ability, Hong Tao believes, but it doesn't matter who they take the job from, so there is no need to follow the muddy water.If this matter is involved, it will obviously offend people, and if there are not enough benefits, it must not be done, although I also hate the business model of the transportation company.

"Transportation company license!" Mrs. Xiushan took a sip from her teacup and spit out a few words softly.

"There's such a big confidence?!" Hong Tao was overwhelmed by these words no matter how much he could think of it. Good guy, it's really a big deal, a big cake filled with pure meat, but I don't know if it can be baked.

"It didn't exist before, but now it does! To be honest, the former Western Alliance and now the survivor force called the Redeemer have reached a consensus with the Alliance. They will gradually abandon the bases in Xinjiang Province and move most of the population to the interior.

Starting from the spring of next year, the capital city and the Jinmen Port Industrial Zone must accommodate at least 2 people.Under such circumstances, the construction of the safe zone is the top priority. The alliance government does not have so much power to carry out large-scale construction in Chang'an, Beijing, and Jinmen Port at the same time, so it must rely on private forces.
