Chapter 105 New Mission

It was not until the end of the afternoon that Xu Qiang put down the materials and left the reading room.

But when he was leaving, he saw Liu Siying still sitting there in the front row. She looked like she was in a trance and was obviously thinking about something.

After returning to the factory, Xu Qiang went straight to Wang Yongsheng. The two immediately went to the bank. After signing the payment agreement, Xu Qiang immediately had a full three thousand yuan in his pocket.

It is difficult for Xu Qiang to make any living money now, as the investment in the peat field is getting bigger and bigger. Xu Qiang, who is determined to achieve electrification of production, has been buying electrical equipment everywhere. He has bought pumps, generators, and tractors one after another. Later, Xu Qiang also wants to buy crushers, water purifiers and other equipment, but so far, there is no suitable purchasing channel.

In order to quickly crush the dried peat into suitable particles, a crusher is necessary. Although there are no dedicated peat crushers now, ordinary agricultural crushers can also be used after modification. However, when loading the materials, try to avoid mixing large stones, which may cause damage to the machine.

However, water purifiers are not so easy to buy. The related equipment is only produced by manufacturers in BJ Shanghai and Changchun. According to the purchase list that Xu Qiang obtained from Cao Liansheng when he went to the provincial capital, these manufacturers only produce large-scale water purifiers used in industrial and mining enterprises, which are not suitable for Xu Qiang's small workshop at all. The related commercial products were not produced in China until 1986.

However, despite the lack of a water purifier, Xu Qiang can still obtain some clean water through sedimentation, adding chemicals and distillation, but it is relatively time-consuming and laborious.

After returning home, Xu Qiang first put the money in the interlayer of the mattress under his bed, and then went to the peat field.

"Uncle, I was just looking for you..."

As soon as he arrived at the peat field, Xu Qiang saw Erhu trotting towards him.

"What's wrong? What happened today?" Xu Qiang frowned suddenly.

"Nothing happened." Erhu shook his head and continued, "It's about the thing you told me last time. I've already told our village chief."

"How did he say?"

Hearing this, Xu Qiang's heart skipped a beat. After all, Xu Qiang had been trying to find a "household registration" for his peat farm these days. After all, if the illegal operation lasted for a long time, something big would definitely happen. What happened the night before yesterday was a precursor.

"Tomorrow morning you and I will go to our village. He wants to talk to you face to face."

"That's no problem. Tomorrow is Sunday." Xu Qiang said straightforwardly.

"But uncle, I want to remind you that the village chief of our village is not an easy person to deal with. The old guy thinks very quickly, and you might suffer a loss if you are not careful." Erhu said with a frown.

"Who can be the village chief? Hearing this, Xu Qiang smiled and continued, "No matter how difficult he is to deal with, can he be more difficult to deal with than our Zhao Xigui? Last time when the family was divided, if the leader hadn't been there, this old guy almost stole my share. He even dared to do this. Who can be more evil than him?"

"That's true." Erhu nodded.

Compared with Shangzhuang Village where Xu Qiang lives, the living environment in Xiazhuang Village is much worse. Since the village is located halfway up a mountain, it is far from the water source and the land is relatively barren, so the harvest in the village has not been good in recent years. In the past, there were frequent fights with other villages over water issues. It was at that time that Da Hei Niu was imprisoned for injuring someone.

As the saying goes, poor and remote areas produce unruly people. To put it bluntly, there is nothing that can be done about it. People in the city pay attention to the quality of life, but they also have to find ways to solve the problem of survival, so as long as it is profitable, they will do anything.

"You go with me tomorrow, and bring Da Hei Niu with you, and let Liu Jun guard the gate alone. You are all from the same village, so it should be easier to talk to each other." Xu Qiang said. "Okay!" Erhu replied.

"By the way, Erhu, I have always wanted to ask you something." Xu Qiang seemed to remember something at this time, so he said.

"whats the matter?"

"If I don't let you work and ask you to travel all over the country to help me negotiate business, would you be willing?" Xu Qiang asked.

Xu Qiang had intended to make Erhu a full-time salesman before, but because there was a shortage of manpower working in the peat field, he never talked to him about it.

But if he cooperates with the people from Xiazhuang Village this time, the other party will definitely arrange a few people from their own village to his peat field. In this way, the peat field will not be short of manpower, and Erhu and Liu Jun will be able to do other things.

"Of course I do!" Erhu said almost without thinking.

Compared to doing physical work day after day in the peat field, Erhu naturally prefers to run back and forth outside. He has a good brain and is good at talking, so there is absolutely no problem for him to be a salesman.

"But I want to make it clear to you. The public security in some places has been poor in the past two years, especially at train stations. There have been many petty thefts." Xu Qiang paused and continued, "So you'd better be smart and don't let others steal or cheat you..."

"What can I lie about? I'm so poor. If you hadn't given me a bite to eat, I might not even be able to afford a meal." Erhu chuckled and continued, "Don't worry, uncle. I'll just be careful when I go out. Nothing will happen."

"Also, you must find ways to complete the tasks I assign to you. If you always fail to get things done, then you should not be a salesperson anymore," said Xu Qiang.

In fact, no one who is out on business can accomplish things 100%. After all, in business, you have to cast a wide net to catch as many fish as possible. Unless your product is strong enough and you have a monopoly business, otherwise, it is normal for business deals to fail.

But Xu Qiang said this because he still wanted to put some pressure on Erhu. After all, this guy had never done this kind of work before. If he didn't have a strong mental quality and didn't have any pressure, he wouldn't be able to negotiate much business.

"Okay, I will definitely try my best." Erhu said seriously.

"That's settled then." Xu Qiang said.

"Uncle, when can I go out of town..."

"Let's talk about it after I finish talking to your village chief tomorrow." After saying this, Xu Qiang turned and walked towards his workshop.

The task of Xu Qiang and others tonight is to build several dog kennels before it gets too dark.

Ever since Big Black Bull was attacked late at night last time, Xu Qiang planned to strengthen the security measures here. One of them is to raise more dogs, big dogs!

In addition to Da Huang, who was brought by Er Hu, Xu Qiang would collect three more dogs from other villages after the doghouse was built. This way, if there was any disturbance at night, the barking of dogs would immediately resound through the sky...
