Chapter 1214
Zhao Guangming is in his fifties, with a large bald head, oily and shiny, and he is Wang Bowen's father-in-law.
I don't know if it's due to weakness or if the furnace fire is too strong, but after saying a few words, he has to wipe the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
"This year's total expenditure is 3,365,800 yuan, this year's total income, including the contracting fees from the sand field and rare earth mine, is 3,100,200 yuan."
"Alas!" Wang Bowen sighed, tapping the table with his finger: "The village's debts have already accumulated to over 7 million yuan, this won't do, we need to think of a solution."
The village head is Wang Yong, Wang Bowen's son, this guy has a cigarette in his mouth, with his legs crossed on the office desk.
"Next year, the contracting fees for the sand field and rare earth mine will be increased a bit, and there's also that plot of land to the north, which belongs to Zhao Dongwei's family, they are elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, farming is hard for them, so next year we'll give them some contracting fee, and have them dig a fish pond there to contract out."
Wang Bowen nodded: "Can do!"
"Also!"
Women's Director Yan Huifang, also Wang Bowen's daughter-in-law, is quite pretty, but her eyes are narrow and long, making people feel uncomfortable when looking at her.
"Wasn't another mine discovered on the east side? My cousin-in-law said he wants the contract, so let him have it, the contracting fee will be paid as usual."
Wang Bowen nodded again: "Can do."
The deputy village head is Wang Min, Wang Bowen's second daughter.
"My brother-in-law is in the building materials business, there are so many trees on the mountain, we can sell some to him, which can also increase the village's income."
Wang Bowen nodded again: "Alright!"
"..."
The entire Tianhe Village has already become Wang Bowen's family domain.
It can be said that Wang Bowen is the local emperor of Tianhe, his daughter and son are the crown prince and princess, and Zhao Guangming, this father-in-law, is the imperial son-in-law, holding the financial power of Tianhe.
They were allocating next year's benefits at the brigade headquarters, and many people from the village who went out to work have already returned.
In Sun Wang's house, Daqiangzi, Ma Hai, Chen Zhishan, and five other youths are drinking alcohol.
"Brother Wang, just tell us what you need us to do, as long as it's doable, we will definitely not refuse."
The speaker is Huang Xiaowu, an outsider who moved to the village a few years ago.
When he first came, his family was very poor, and Sun Wang gave his family a lot of help.
It can be said that without Sun Wang, Huang Xiaowu's life would definitely not be as it is now.
"Yes!" Another youth nodded: "Brother Wang, tell us, let us do what you say."
The others also nodded, these people are all Sun Wang's most trusted.
"Let's drink first, we'll talk later."
Sun Wang raised his wine cup: "Come, brothers, let's have one."
"Clack!" Several bowls collided with each other.
At this moment, a young man rushed in from outside.
"Brother Wang!"
Sun Wang put down his wine bowl: "How is it?"
The young man nodded: "Wang Bowen is holding a meeting at the brigade, and left a few lackeys at the mine, they are playing cards."
Sun Wang smiled, stood up, opened the cabinet door leaning against the north wall, and took out two miniature cameras from inside.
"Do you know what this is?"
Ma Hai said: "I've seen it on video, it's a camera."
"Exactly!" Sun Wang said: "It's a camera."
Huang Xiaowu and the other four youths didn't know what was happening, but they were curious and took the camera over.
"Brother Wang, where did you get this? This thing must be expensive."
"Indeed it is expensive." Sun Wang looked at them, speaking very seriously: "I'm asking you to do something dangerous, you need to think it over, if you refuse now, I won't blame you."
"Brother Wang, you're just talking nonsense." Huang Xiaowu said: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have what I have now. You say it, let me do what you want, even if my head falls off, I, as a younger brother, won't utter a word of cowardice."
The other four youths also said: "Brother Wang, if there's something, just tell us, after so many years, when have we brothers ever been afraid of anything?"
Sun Wang was moved, explained his plan, and Huang Xiaowu and the others were stunned for a long time.
Chen Zhishan laughed and said: "What, still afraid?"
"Damn his grandmother's grandson!" A youth glared and cursed: "It's just too sudden, catching us off guard."
Daqiangzi said: "Saying useless things, dare or not."
Sun Wang said solemnly: "I still say the same thing, if you back out now, I still won't blame you."
"Screw that!" Huang Xiaowu gritted his teeth: "His mother's the neighbor's, the Wang Bowen family has been riding on our heads, acting high and mighty for so many years, I've long wanted to deal with him. But we were weak and isolated, now we have a big figure backing us, what's there to fear?"
"Exactly!" A youth said viciously: "Even if Wang Bowen is powerful, can he be more powerful than the mayor? Now the mayor wants to deal with him, what do we have to fear? When the time comes, we'll take kitchen knives and chop him to death, no need to worry."
"Good!" Sun Wang said: "You take the cameras and secretly film the mine, especially the pollution from ore washing and the smuggling channels."
"No problem." Huang Xiaowu held the camera, fiddling with it: "How do you use this thing?"
"I'll teach you." Sun Wang took the camera, teaching Huang Xiaowu and the others how to use it: "You must be extremely careful, once discovered, you'll be in danger."
"Don't worry." A youth said: "We will be careful."
Huang Xiaowu checked the time, put the camera into the pocket holding the lunch box: "The afternoon shift is coming up, we're leaving now."
"You must be careful." Sun Wang, uneasy, added another reminder.
"Don't worry!" Huang Xiaowu and the others quickly left.
Watching them leave the room, Daqiangzi said: "Brother Wang, should we go and inform others too?"
"Everything's already been arranged, what more is there to arrange?" Sun Wang waved his hand: "If Wang Bowen notices something, tomorrow's action might encounter an accident."
Ma Hai patted Daqiangzi's shoulder: "Now, what we need is to stabilize, not rush."
Daqiangzi took a deep breath: "I understand."
A dark current is slowly gathering in Tianhe Village.
No one knows that this dark current will form a tsunami that destroys heaven and earth.
Ganzhou Prefecture will be the first to bear the brunt, then the entire Ganzhou Province.
All rules will be scattered in disarray by this tsunami.
………………
Liu Zhengming stood by the office window, holding a teacup, watching the crowd coming and going at the gate.
After an unknown time, he lifted the teacup and took a sip of tea.
The tea had cooled, but he now felt a heat spreading through his body.
He raised his hand and shoved the window open with force—bang! —the window sash struck the outer wall.
The previously calm weather suddenly gusted, clearing his mind instantly.
"Whoosh!"
He drew a deep breath, then exhaled, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face,
"The wind is rising."
He smelled dampness in the air, and a faint trace of bloodiness.
