Chapter 18 Decisions

[Sincerely thank you for being in the world, dlghy_zy, I can't remember what name you call me, Dugu Yijian, Zheng Panger's reward! Thank you for your ぁ point ghost, Oh Ma Gao, read the update ticket for this book, the emperor does his best to achieve a win-win situation for the update quantity and quality!

Thank you for all the students for their five-star evaluation tickets, recommendation tickets, member clicks and collections! The plot of today and tomorrow is at a critical turning point. We continue to ask everyone to support them with all their energy!]

On the third day, the little teapot ignored the dissuasion of his sister and everyone, and forced himself to support his painful body and slowly walked towards the wide backyard. His so-called reason for "moderate exercise is more conducive to recovery" sounds novel and seems to make sense. A group of people had to accompany him to take a slow walk in the yard.

When he arrived at the big locust tree that was a century-old tree, the small teapot's eyes were taken back from the vast northern schoolyard to the west. From far to near, he stared at the rocky hills and ponds covered with thorny and wild grass in turn, and finally looked around his backyard and fell into deep thought.

The brothers and Sister Yi didn't know what Xiao Teapot was thinking, and did not disturb his thinking, which made a hazy plan clearer and slowly formed in his mind.

"Second brother, the boundary indicated on our deed does not include the place and woods we are standing in now, right?" Xiao Teapot suddenly asked.

Ma Gan scratched his head and pushed out the "Mr. Accountant" Luo Laosi.

Luo Laosi, who just turned 16, is indeed worthy of the title of the butler, and he opened his mouth to tell the situation in detail:

"Our homestead land does not include this place, but we have cut into the one and a half acres of stagnant pond in front. The bumpy rock buns and large and small ponds on the west were originally warehouses of the previous dynasty. It is said that after Zhang Xianzhong broke the city, he piled tens of thousands of corpses in this place and burned them with fire. Since then, no one has ever taken care of this place. For decades, the city has built houses and walls to collect soil, and slowly dug them into their current appearance. On rainy days, there are countless piles of quagmire piles of rocks. They can't grow vegetables, can't build houses, and can't do anything. In addition, there are places in the south and east of the city, so the government is willing to spend money to level the place, so it is abandoned."

The little teapot nodded: "From us to the city wall in the north and then to the schoolyard in the west, it is estimated that there will be 800 acres, right?"

Ma Gan smiled and said, "I don't think it's just this number. I guess it's nearly a thousand acres... Brother, why are you asking this?"

When Xiao Teapot saw that everyone was surprised, he had to say what was not yet mature:

"I want to buy this wasteland, at least buy the land from the back of our yard to the foot of the city wall, and the large ponds on the west side. I wonder if the government will sell it, and whether the land price is expensive?"

Sister Yi was unhappy when she heard this: "There are more than a dozen neighbors to the east, most of which are worthless wooden houses and thatched huts. Almost every household has a yard and vegetable field behind each household. If you really want to buy it, it is better to buy it from your neighbors. The price is very cheap. You can buy one for 180 yuan, and it can also benefit the neighbors who have long been reluctant to live here. There is no need to buy this wasteland with bumpy and wild weeds higher than people. The car dealer and two business banks have just started to make money. You just want to spend money every day. If you have money but have no land, you can't do this."

Everyone echoed, and Luo Laosi said that his brothers had already sold the yard and moved to a lively area in the city. After all, this place was too remote and you could hear ghosts in the middle of the night. It was too far from the shops in the downtown area. It was inconvenient to go to work for two or three quarters of a year. And there was only one dirt road that was 100 meters wide. It was muddy when it rained and it was hard to leave the carriage. Not to mention that there was no one else. Otherwise, the land price of this place, how could the real estate be so cheap?

At this time, two young boys of seven or eight who lived together came over and reported loudly that a beautiful carriage had arrived. A scary foreigner got out of the car, holding many gifts and saying what we were saying.

The teapot was inconvenient to move, so he quickly asked Ma Gan and Luo Laosi to greet him. Wu San and Sister Yi helped the teapot to a flat place to wait.

Zhuang Sen came, wearing a dark brown hunting suit, high-waisted leather shoes, his blonde hair was neatly combed, graceful and shiny, and his whole body looked neat and straight, handsome and handsome.

Zhuang Sen entered the backyard and exclaimed from a distance, stretched out his hands, came up to grab the little teapot's hand and shouted, and sternly claimed that as long as the little teapot needs it, he and the British consulate officials would provide judicial help to the little teapot. When he was excited, he danced and looked extremely angry.

Seeing this, Xiao Teapot explained his words instead. When Zhuang Sen was in a better mood, he asked about business matters.

Zhuang Sen turned anger into joy, and spoke endlessly. Finally, he patted Xiaochao's shoulder excitedly to show his appreciation. Xiaochao's teeth grinned and groaned repeatedly.

After everyone laughed, the little teapot took Zhuang Sen's hand and came to the big tree, pointing to the wide open land in front of him, which was like a dog gnawed:

"Zhuangsen, how is this place? Walking about 700 meters north is the north city wall. It is almost the same distance to the west. It is the army's northern school ground. It extends to the south. The government supplies and grain warehouses often close. This place has been deserted for a hundred years and no one cares about it, so the land price is probably not expensive."

Zhuang Sen quickly understood some of the little teapot's thoughts, looked around for a moment, and frowned:

"Xiao, land prices are nothing. The key is construction investment... If you want to develop this place, the construction cost is estimated to be very high. I am afraid that Mr. Roberting and I will not be very interested in the near future."

"No, no! I don't want to seek your help or cooperation, I do it myself." Xiao Teapot said with great certainty.

Zhuang Sen didn't believe that Xiao Teapot had this strength. After being shocked, he shook his head and smiled: "I admire your ambition very much, but Xiao, ideals and reality are often a frustrating contradiction."

The little teapot also smiled: "It's right, but I still want to give it a try. From the west courtyard wall of Wenshu Temple on the east to the gate of our courtyard, it is about 120 meters away. Since we are on the edge of a remote wasteland, it is difficult to walk on this narrow dirt road that is naturally formed by more than 100 meters. As long as I take out a sum of funds to widen the road, build drainage ditches with stones and lay them with asphalt... Zhuang Sen, will the messy and simple houses and land on both sides of the road appreciate immediately? If not, I will go further and find a way to raise funds to build two rows of beautiful houses along the brand new road, and decorate and beautify the front, back and forth, and you said, can you sell it?"

Zhuang Sen was very surprised. He looked left and right, but he seemed to be inconclusive. Finally, he passed through the weeds dozens of meters north and climbed the mounds ten meters high with thorns. He looked around for more than ten minutes before he came back. He said to the small teapot very seriously:

"Xiao, I have to say that your idea is feasible. This place occupies the highest terrain in the city and the air is the best in the city. However, if you really want to build a noble residential area, the total investment will not be less than 100,000 silver dollars. With your current ability... I am frankly speaking, it may be difficult to do it."

The little teapot is very grateful to Zhuang Sen for his reminder, and admires his rigorous and responsible attitude, pats his hands affectionately and asks in a low voice:

"Zhuang Sen, Mr. Focharli, the Consul of the German Consulate in Chengdu some time ago, said that the churches of German expatriates could no longer meet the needs. Compared with the five churches scattered in and out of the city between Britain and France, the situation is very embarrassing and does not conform to the image of a world power. Do you still remember it?"

Zhuang Sen was surprised: "Xiao, what do you mean..."

The little teapot explained with great enthusiasm: "I want to buy all the houses and real estate on both sides of the road more than 100 meters, as well as the remote and remote areas on the west side of the Wenshu Temple, which are few families, widen and pave the two adjacent roads, slightly level the land, retain more than 300 large trees of various types, and then build excellent quality sewage in advance, which will help the efficient and rapid discharge of domestic sewage in the entire area, so that at that time, there will be no fear that no one will come to build a house.

"A rough calculation, the total investment should not exceed 30,000 silver dollars. I think that churches and charities in various countries, and even embassies and consulates in various countries that are currently in a complex and difficult and difficult city, will not be stingy with 10,000 silver dollars to buy a wide, quiet and beautiful environment! Let's take a step back, even if these wealthy foreign institutions do not come, I can still attract local wealthy people to invest in this noble residential area. The prerequisite is that I need to raise 30,000 silver dollars to start-up capital first."

Zhuang Sen was silent, and his intuition told him that the small teapot was capable of doing it. After working for several months, he had never seen a small teapot break the trust. Many things that seemed very difficult to everyone could easily solve, and many methods were refreshing, impressive and inspired.

Zhuang Sen did not doubt the ambition of the small teapot. The only thing that could prevent the small teapot from achieving its goal was probably time. After all, with the small teapot's current ability and social status, there are still many difficulties in carrying out this seemingly huge construction project that involves all aspects, even if he could successfully convince the Germans and Mr. Roberting to participate.

Xiao Teapot saw Zhuang Sen's face full of eyebrows and thoughts, shook his head and smiled, and changed the topic:

"Zhuang Sen, I heard you last month that Mr. Roberting's younger brother, Mr. Willy, has a 7kW steam generator, which has been idle in the Shanghai warehouse for a long time because the buyer broke the contract. Is it right? Please help me ask if you can sell it to me on credit."

"Xiao, can you tell me what you are doing for buying a generator?" Zhuang Sen immediately became alert.

The small teapot ring pointed around: "If I want to supply electricity and water to this area, I need to build a simple processing plant around these ponds to the west. I can't even make the iron carriage of a personal rickshaw, right?"

Zhuang Sen was shocked: "Xiao, are you going to do it yourself?"

"No! You are too sensitive, just an example. I am not going to produce rickshaws and bicycles, and there are many things that can be made, such as processing some hardware tools and accessories, producing screws, nuts, fasteners, etc., which all require machine tools and electricity. It is cheaper than purchasing any spare parts in the UK or Shanghai, right?" Xiao Teapot explained sincerely.

Zhuang Sen had to shrugged: "Xiao, I really don't know what your head is doing. There are always so many ideas beyond others' imagination. However, it seems that many wealthy people in Chengdu who are passionate about industry and commerce are paying close attention to the possibility of entrepreneurship in the industrial field. If you have too many ideas, it may be difficult to concentrate and it is difficult to lead step by step in the upcoming competition."

Xiao Teapot nodded: "Thank you for your reminder. My friend, what I said just now has been considered repeatedly. It seems that the stall is very large and has many difficulties. In fact, as long as I summarize it further, there are only two things. Judging from the profits I have made in the car dealer and the two dealers, it only takes ten months to accumulate to start doing these two things, and I only need to do the most critical first step. I am very confident about this."

Zhuang Sen had to agree: "I have no objection to this. Your total monthly profit is increasing rapidly. It is just the share of kerosene sales as I know. You obtained a net profit of 2,200 yuan last month. When the sales volume of eight counties around Chengdu is summarized next month, I am afraid that the share of your profit will double. Therefore, I have no doubts about your ability, I just hope you can go more safely."

"Thank you! I will keep your advice in my mind."

The little teapot smiled, took out a newspaper from his shirt and handed it to Zhuang Sen, squeezed his eyes and asked funnyly: "Zhuang Sen, first look at this government-issued newspaper, and then tell me what you saw."

"My Chinese level is very bad. I can't understand half of the words in the newspaper. It's too difficult to learn Chinese characters..."

Zhuang Sen complained, but he still took the newspaper from the little teapot and looked down in confusion. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and pointed to the huge notice reading thick lines on the first edition, exclaiming:

"Xiao, don't tell me you're going to be a policeman!"

Everyone around was shocked and looked at each other, not knowing how Xiaochao had such an idea. Could it be that he was so angry that he was so extreme that he made after being beaten?

Xiao Teapot put away his smile and said very seriously: "I made up my mind to go to the police recruitment in five days. The government announcement made it very clear that anyone who was admitted to the recruitment and was admitted can continue to apply for the Sichuan Army Police Academy, which will start school early next month. I believe that with my ability, I can pass the exam smoothly.

"Sister, brothers, if we want to live well in this world, we must not be without power or legal political status. The only shortcut to power at present is to be a policeman at the risk of becoming a notorious person. When a policeman can at least have weapons and power legally, and can protect our own lives and property safety!

"So, not only will I go to the election, but my second brother must go too. It's useless for anyone to object. This matter is not something that everyone can think clearly in a while, so I made a decision without permission and no one is allowed to object, otherwise, don't blame me for not giving face!"

The little teapot's bruised and swollen face showed a rare murderous aura. The blood-filled eyes were shining with a squinted light, which scared everyone to the point of being silent.

The little teapot turned to Zhuang Sen, who looked incredible, and said very politely and firmly:

"My friend, after you go back, I would like to thank Mr. Roboting for your kind care and convey my decision to Mr. Roboting. I think he will understand. Here, I solemnly promise you and Mr. Roboting that no matter whether I am a policeman or not, it will not delay our close cooperation. And I really hope that our cooperation will get better and better, and the road ahead will be wider and wider."

Zhuang Sen took a deep breath and patted the little teapot on the shoulder: "I will, your sincerity and credit have always been very good."
