He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 376 Earthwork

As expected.

Environmental protection measures didn't come.

On the first night, someone actually came and punctured the tires.

Inside the construction site's prefabricated house.

Old Liang, from the earthmoving truck team in Heihai City, spat on the ground.

"Damn it, this guy is really blind, he actually messed with me."

"What should we do? Should we talk to the general contractor?"

"What did you say? Someone punctured our convoy's tires? How am I supposed to save face? This is a slap in the face!"

"What should we do then?"

"Get him!"

Old Liang is a professional dump truck driver. For such a large project, he set up two prefabricated houses on the construction site, providing accommodation, vehicle repair, and tire patching.

The next night.

A conflict immediately broke out because someone was on duty 24 hours a day.

During the day, I arrived at the construction site, and everything seemed normal, as if nothing had happened the night before.

The general contracting company established by the Luo family only acts as an affiliation; there are many subcontractors under it.

Project Manager.

Several subcontractors were chatting amongst themselves: "These local earthwork contractors have been causing trouble for two days now, and we don't know what the main contractor is thinking."

"The earthwork was designated by the general contractor. Even though it's a subcontracting arrangement, can we just change them like that?"

"Are you going to switch? The current earthwork costs 120 yuan per truck, while the local ones cost 180 yuan per truck. We'll have to lose 30 yuan per truckload. Whoever wants to switch can switch, I'm not switching."

Ultimately, it all comes down to money.

When two companies fight, innocent bystanders are also affected, and it's the subcontractors who suffer the most, mainly because it affects the construction progress.

"Let's go find Lao Liang first and see what he has to say. We can't keep doing this every night, can we? A lot of my equipment has been destroyed."

Me too.

Earthwork prefabricated house.

Old Liang stared wide-eyed. It was like a dragon crossing the river to fight a local snake. How difficult it would be! Fortunately, the earthwork line didn't need to leave the construction site. If the other party blocked the entrance, he would really have a headache.

Several subcontractors came to his door, and Lao Liang's eyelids twitched as he watched.

"Mr. Liang, doing this every night isn't a solution. You need to resolve this issue completely."

Old Liang glanced at the subcontractors. He knew they each had their own jobs. He got the job through connections at Wenyu Club. If he couldn't handle the local bullies, he couldn't blame anyone else. But all the money he'd given them would be lost.

Old Liang hardened his stance and said directly, "We'll settle this once and for all tonight. You bosses don't need to worry about it."

Make a phone call and request someone to be transferred from Black Sea City.

Doing it at night means there's no need to make it public; neither side will be clean, and neither will be willing to call the police.

The project headquarters is now at the highest point, with a panoramic view of the construction site below.

I didn't leave tonight, and neither did Luo Tian; they insisted on staying to watch.

"Uncle, so many people are fighting, let's call the police. I'll use my connections."

"It's none of your business, let them handle it themselves."

Looking at the people Lao Liang had brought down below, Luo Tian felt a chill run down her spine. What era was this? There were still gangsters fighting like this.

Old Liang had more men, catching the other side completely off guard. Not only did they win quickly, but they also led several truckloads of people out of the construction site, apparently heading to the other side's headquarters.

"Isn't it exciting?"

I asked Luo Tian.

Dozens of people on the construction site were really going head-to-head. Although there were no controlled knives, the fight was much more exciting than in the movies.

"Um."

The little girl was breathing rapidly; it was truly the first time she had ever seen such a scene.

Fourth day.

Unsurprisingly, the police arrived to investigate last night's events.

The police left in the morning, and the environmental protection bureau came to inspect in the afternoon. They not only issued a ticket but also required the installation of dust covers.

Damn, how are we supposed to build on a 2000-acre site?

All the bosses were annoyed, but there was nothing they could do. They could only try to find someone through connections to treat everyone to dinner that night.

Then, the environmental protection bureau issued a stop-work order.

"What should we do?"

"Just do it your way. Go find someone to lift the work stoppage order and get back to work."

"Old Liang and his gang got arrested. They haven't even finished talking about it yet."

"We don't need to worry about that. Work should resume as scheduled. If Lao Liang can't get out, we can just switch to another dump truck. We can't delay the construction."

Although Luo Tian frowned, she still obediently found someone to solve the problem.

The way wealthy heiresses solve problems is quick; she made a few phone calls from her office without even leaving the house.

"Work resumes tomorrow."

"sharp."

I gave Luo Tian a thumbs up, which earned me a proud little chick raising its head.

Old Liang was released from prison first. Hearing that the construction site would resume work in two days, he became anxious because a group of his drivers were still inside, and he wouldn't have enough manpower tomorrow.

They tried to find a subcontractor, but the subcontractor was unwilling to wait, so they had no choice but to hire a temporary worker at a high salary.

On the day work resumed, people from Tianlu Construction Company came again.

"Mr. Shen, I see that the other party doesn't have many vehicles left, so the work progress must be very slow."

I nodded: "Indeed."

"We're not greedy. Give us a portion of the earthwork, and we'll finish this job in two months. How about that?"

"Your prices are too high."

"It seems that Mr. Shen is still unaware of the situation."

"The construction site is so big, everyone should make money, why hog it all to yourself?"

"This is the provincial capital, and my rules are the rules."

"Then you just wait and see. If Lao Liang doesn't agree, I'll find more convoys from other cities. If you're so capable, send one and you'll drive it away. Let's see just how many of you there are."

The other person left with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Wow, you're really something, uncle. You managed to drive them away with just a few words."

"I told you to find a supplier, have you done so?"

"It's hard to find. You won't let me use my connections, so I have to go from place to place."

Luo Tian pouted.

"Why don't you find a few brokers to spread the word and have them find you a partner? Or you could set up your own club and hire someone to act as an intermediary."

"oh oh."

This Luo Tian is really naive and innocent; she's clueless about everything.

On the other hand, Wenyu's side was experienced, and things progressed quite smoothly, with many suppliers already prepared.

Qingfeng Manor has been under construction for a month.

Jiao Yilun from Dongsheng Port Group called to invite me for a meeting.

"Come to NanX Energy."

This time, no one will indulge him.

I arrived early at the company conference room, and Kang Moli sat in my lap, feeding me a grape in one bite.

Luo Tian arrived exhausted, and upon seeing this scene, she nearly fainted from anger: "Uncle, I've been working myself to the bone outside, and you actually... you actually..."

With a trembling finger pointing at me, Luo Tian was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Kang Moli realized that our current position was too ambiguous and wanted to stand up, but I refused.

He pulled the woman close to his chest, then slipped his hands under her clothes, and the woman's face turned bright red.

"Jiao Yilun from Dongsheng Group will be here in a bit. You'll be in charge of negotiating with him."

"What are you talking about?"

"Matters related to Ya Hong Group's acquisition of Dong Sheng Group's port."

"Why should I? I'm not part of your Ya Hong Group. I only work for NanX Energy."

"Didn't you want to learn from me? This is also part of the course."

"snort!"

I'm increasingly enjoying watching this androgynous girl widen her eyes; it's so captivating.

"Dongsheng Group's smallest port is worth 5 billion, and Dongsheng holds 60% of the shares, which is 50 billion. Your task is to acquire it for 15 billion, to be paid off in installments over 30 years. If we can't reach an agreement, we'll discuss it another day. You can't make a decision until we reach that point."

"You skinflint! You cut the price in half and then offer installment payments!"

"This is your task."

then.

I put my arm around Kang Moli and we left the conference room. "Don't call me this afternoon, I have work to do!"

After leaving, Luo Tian frowned and spat, "You playboy, you'll die in a woman's belly sooner or later!"
