Chapter 807

The next day, after nine in the morning, Zuo Xingqing arrived.

Seeing the old branch secretary, he reached out his hand, smiling, and said very politely: "Hello, Old Branch Secretary, last time I came too hurriedly, so I didn't notify you."

The old branch secretary shook hands with Zuo Xingqing: "As long as the water plant can be located in Zhenxing Village, it doesn't matter whether you notify me or not."

Actually, the old branch secretary couldn't have not known when Zuo Xingqing came last time, but that was just a contact negotiation.

And the county leaders were there, but the town leaders were not, so he didn't show his face.

But today is different. Last night, Zhou Andong had already promised him that investing in the water plant was no problem.

So as the village branch secretary of Zhenxing Village, he must be present today.

Zuo Xingqing laughed loudly: "Old Branch Secretary, whether the water plant can be located in your Zhenxing Village is not up to me, you have to ask Chairman Zhou, his father is your village's son-in-law."

The old branch secretary grinned: "Chairman Zhou already told me last night that investing in the water plant is no problem."

Zhou Andong slapped his forehead, looking helpless: "Old Uncle Guan, I haven't talked to the leaders yet, I haven't asked for benefits, why did you sell me out?"

"Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed loudly, the atmosphere was quite relaxed, without any tension of commercial negotiation.

"Chairman Zhou!" Zuo Xingqing handed a document to Zhou Andong, "This is the water quality test report, I brought it for you."

Zhou Andong took it and handed it to Jian Qiu: "Mayor Zuo, let's go, let's take a tour around the village and see the factory site I chose."

"Okay!"

Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu, the old branch secretary and several village cadres, Zuo Xingqing and city leaders, as well as county leaders, left the yard and walked west.

Yuan Hai and Yuan Ying and the others followed behind to join the fun, and some villagers also followed when they saw it, the team getting bigger and bigger, the number of people increasing.

"Dahai!" A middle-aged man pulled Yuan Hai, "Is your cousin really going to build a water plant in our village?"

"Yes!" Yuan Hai nodded, "Didn't you see the mayor and county leaders are all here?"

The middle-aged man clicked his tongue and said: "In this day and age, there really are all kinds of strange things. We have plenty of water in our wells at home, does anyone really spend money to buy that stuff?"

Yuan Ying laughed: "Old Uncle Gong, you definitely can't sell this water. But in my cousin's hands, it can be sold."

"That's true!" The middle-aged man chuckled, "Otherwise, why would your cousin be a big boss and we be ordinary people?"

"Brother Hai!" A young man walked over quickly, "Is Brother Dong going to recruit workers to build the water plant?"

"Yes!" Yuan Hai said: "When we were chatting last night, Dongzi said that recruitment will be done in our village. Anyone over 18 and under 50 can sign up. But a physical examination is required, and it won't work if the physical examination is not qualified."

"What physical examination?" The middle-aged man asked hurriedly.

Yuan Hai said: "It's going to the hospital for a physical checkup, only those without infectious diseases can do it."

"That's definitely no problem." The middle-aged man said spiritedly: "My body is super strong, I can eat three big bowls of sorghum rice in one meal, I have no diseases at all, I can definitely be a worker in the water plant."

Many people around heard their chat, their eyes shining like light bulbs.

Being a worker, this was something they dared to dream of, but they didn't expect the pie to fall on their heads before they dared to dream.

"Brother Hai!" The young man asked: "Did Brother Dong say how much salary he can pay a month?"

Yuan Hai said: "He said 150 to 200 a month, and there are bonuses at the end of the month. Anyway, if you work hard, 200 a month is definitely no problem."

"200 a month?" The middle-aged man was immediately excited, "That's more than 2,000 a year, damn it, if he really gives that much, I won't even farm the land."

Yuan Ying said with a smile: "Old Uncle Gong, if Auntie, Zhuzi, and Zhuzi's wife all go, you can earn 10,000 a year."

"Slap!" The middle-aged man slapped his thigh, "Isn't that so."

Yuan Hai rolled his eyes at Yuan Ying: "Don't listen to Yuan Ying's nonsense. There are more than 100 households in our village, and there are 400 or 500 young and strong laborers. The new factory definitely won't need so many people. You can't have four or five people from one family become workers in the factory while others can't even get one person in, how can that work?"

The middle-aged man was a bit disappointed, but still nodded: "Right, the rice can't be eaten by one person while others go hungry."

"That's the logic." Yuan Hai didn't pay attention and stepped into a small pit, almost falling, but the young man was quick-witted and supported him.

"Damn it!" Yuan Hai cursed.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Zhou Andong pointed to a forest ahead: "There is a river there, the factory will be built there."

"Let's go, let's go over and take a look." Zuo Xingqing walked over first.

A group of people walked over. It was called a river, but it was actually a small river ditch two or three meters wide, but the water was very clear, and the sand and moss at the bottom of the river could be clearly seen.

"This is indeed a good place."

The old branch secretary pointed to the jungle: "Following this river through the woods, there is a mountain cave one meter high at the foot of the mountain, and the water flows out from inside."

Zhou Andong said: "I went to take a look yesterday. The cave is not deep, only twenty meters or so. People can't get in after that. The water flows out from a crack in the cave. I suspect there should be an underground river hidden there."

The old branch secretary said: "The water in the cave doesn't freeze."

A group of people followed the river, passed through the woods, and came to the cave. Zhou Andong and the old branch secretary accompanied Zuo Xingqing inside to take a look.

Zhou Andong said: "The flow of this water is definitely not enough. Mayor Zuo, you still have to find the geological survey department to come and take a look, and test whether there is an underground river inside. If there is, can it be developed?

If there is no underground river, or if there is one that cannot be developed, I can only drill an underground well outside. The water quality should be the same."

"Okay!" Zuo Xingqing promised, "I will arrange it when I go back, and I will let them come over in these two days to get this matter done as soon as possible."

After saying this, Zuo Xingqing squatted down, cupped the spring water with both hands, and took a sip, "It's indeed different from the city's tap water."

Zhou Andong smiled: "I will call Chairman Man of Xurishi in a while and let him arrange a working group. Then you won't have to run here, we will directly connect with County Magistrate Hong."

Hong Xinmin's spirit was lifted: "Mayor, don't worry, we will definitely fully cooperate with Chairman Zhou, and the preferential policies that should be given will not be less at all."

Zuo Xingqing patted Hong Xinmin on the shoulder. Although Zhou Andong had long planned to build a water plant here, without Hong Xinmin's cleverness in calling him, and him running over in time, this matter might not have been dragged out until when.

Hong Xinmin immediately felt his bones lighten by two taels. He also squatted down, cupped some water with his hands, took a sip, and then looked at the old branch secretary.

"Old Uncle Guan, you say we've been drinking this water all our lives, but we never thought this water could be sold."

Zuo Xingqing laughed loudly: "Now that you know, even if you want to sell it, you can't sell it."
