Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 399 tit for tat
The tent where Old Liu was.

The curtain is open.

Deng Qi was smoking at the side. Seeing Liu Xing coming, he rushed up to greet him: "You came at the wrong time. Teacher Zhuge and Mr. Liu are arguing inside!"

"Arguing? Because of what?" Liu Xing was a little confused.

"Because of that matter about Colin." Deng Qi said in a low voice.

"Old Liu doesn't seem to be wrong about this, right?" Liu Xing couldn't help laughing after he realized it.

"I also know that Mr. Liu is right, but you can't tell Teacher Zhuge about the Bamboo God's Cave in the Southwest Mountain!" Deng Qi looked around cautiously, seeing that there were no other strangers, he said cautiously: "Because the Bamboo God The cave has been listed as an SS-level secret by the country, and people like Teacher Zhuge have no right to know about it."

"Ah! This is such a mess!" Liu Xing sighed and shook his head. After patting Deng Qi on the shoulder, he walked straight into the tent where Old Liu was.

inside the tent.

Mr. Liu stood with his hands behind his back, his face livid, and he was yelling at Zhuge Dan: "I really don't know what you think, you dare to exchange a hundred pieces of dragon and tiger meat and a thousand wild ganoderma for Ke Lin to build a paper factory in Xiangxi, you know Don’t talk about whether there are a hundred pieces of dragon and tiger meat in Xiangxi, even if there is, the value of that one can be worth several million, do you know how much the hundred pieces are worth?”

"Dad, how could I not know the value of a hundred pieces of dragon and tiger meat, but do you know? Once the paper mill settles in Xiangxi, the value created cannot be measured by money at all. Relationship, it was hard to drag Colin to Xiangxi, but you just told him to go away, let alone how I explained to my old classmate, even the money I spent to win Colin before I can’t get it back Ah!" Zhuge Dan was also very angry, after pushing his glasses on the bridge of his nose, he confronted Liu Lao on the spot.

Even Liu Ruyan who was winking at him, he chose to ignore it.

Liu Xing, who walked into the tent, retorted directly when he heard Zhuge Dan's words: "Teacher, what you said is a bit generalized. To be honest, I and Liu Lao also think that the establishment of the paper mill in Xiangxi is not a good idea at all. Not as good as expected.”

"If you don't understand, don't say it, okay? Kelin invested in the paper mill in Xiangxi, which is worth tens of millions of dollars. It can solve the job problems of thousands of people in Xiangxi, and it can also bring a lot of tax revenue to Xiangxi. Among them Do you understand the benefits?" Zhuge Dan's words were not aimed at Liu Xing, nor was he mocking Liu Xing, but he was pouring out his heart and soul about how much this paper mill has contributed to Xiangxi.

after all……

For him, Liu Xing is not an outsider.

Although the positions of speaking are different, they are all about things and not people.

"Hahaha..." Liu Xing couldn't help laughing when he heard the words: "Mr. Zhuge, do you know how much paper mills pollute the environment in western Hunan? Do you know that paper mills are now heavy polluting enterprises abroad?"

"This..." Zhuge Dan shook his head in a daze.

To be honest, he didn't hear much of the term environmental pollution, let alone the unfamiliar and awkward term of heavy polluting enterprises.

"Then let me tell you that the construction of a paper mill must first rely on sewage discharge from rivers or lakes to operate. Otherwise, the sewage and waste it produces in a day can poison several people to death!" Liu Xing said seriously: " Don't believe what I said, you can go to other villages with paper mills, how the environment has been polluted, and whether the fish and shrimps in the river are all dead. At that time, you may regret it. That's too late."

"These things you mentioned are minor problems, okay? If it really pollutes the environment, we can first agree with Ke Lin to build a sewage system! Compared with the economic development of Xiangxi, it is not worth mentioning!" Zhuge Angrily, he retorted with his hands outstretched.

"Hehe...it's not worth mentioning. I just want to ask Mr. Zhuge a question, whether the sewage and waste discharged from the sewage system finally entered the rivers and lakes in western Hunan. By then, you drank such polluted water. Water, your son or even your grandson drank this kind of water, do you know what will happen?" Liu Xing became angry when he saw that Zhuge Dan was still going into a corner, and his tone of speech changed and became sharp , like a knife, facing Zhuge Dan directly.

Seeing this scene, Elder Liu secretly nodded in approval.

Even Liu Ruyan was surprised by Liu Xing's eloquence.

On the other hand, Zhuge Dan opened his mouth in shock, and finally the words got stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak.

To be honest, he really didn't think about the problem Liu Xing said.

It seems that this problem will not exist, but if it really occurs, I am afraid that Xiangxi will be over.

Because since ancient times, only places with clean water can allow humans to inhabit and multiply, otherwise they will be abandoned.

It was quiet at this moment, the quiet needle drop could be heard.

Zhuge Dan knew that Liu Xing was also doing it for the good of Xiangxi, so he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive, but do you know? I really want to build up the backward Xiangxi, because I am from Xiangxi myself. It’s really not easy for the people in Xiangxi these years.”

"I know your good intentions, and I know that you have paid a lot in order to win Kelin, the God of Wealth, but do you know? It is really not feasible for the paper mill to be located in western Hunan, let alone the issue of environmental pollution Even the land in Southwest Mountain cannot be sold to Ke Lin!" Liu Xing said with a sigh.

"Why?" Zhuge Dan was a little confused.

Colin is going to spend millions of dollars to buy the land in Southwest Mountain. This is a high price. If it is put in other provinces and cities, I am afraid that he will agree without hesitation.

"Because... Southwest Mountain has the most valuable treasure in our country!" When Liu Xing said this, he didn't ask Liu Lao's opinion, but said it directly. He added another sentence: "If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Liu."

"Really?" Zhuge Danlian looked at Old Liu.

Liu Ruyan also held her breath.

At the same time, she was also very surprised, because even Liu Xing knew the inside story that she and Zhuge Dan didn't know. It seemed that Liu Xing's identity was not just a craftsman!

Mr. Liu smiled wryly and nodded slowly: "Yes, do you know where the tens of millions of pig sheds built in northern Hunan came from? They came from selling money from a golden treasure chest found in a cave in the southwest mountain of Western Hunan. Like the same golden treasure chest, there are at least a few hundred in the Southwest Mountain, but because it is too dangerous, our country does not want to sacrifice it to get it!"

"What...why didn't you tell me about such an important matter?" Zhuge Dan yelled out.

Only then did he understand that this Colin came to Xiangxi to build a paper mill with bad intentions and other ulterior motives.

"How can I tell you that the Bamboo God Cave in the Southwest Mountain is a national SS-level secret. I think you are the mayor of the town for nothing. Didn't you see that there are troops stationed in the Southwest Mountain these years? ?” Old Liu helplessly shook his head, now that Liu Xing has revealed the secret, he has to tell the truth, and he just hopes that Zhuge Dan will not let it out.

In fact, he didn't blame Liu Xing at all, because even a fool could see that although the Bamboo God Cave was a national SS-level secret, foreigners like Ke Lin knew about it, so there was no secret at all.

In other words, now that things have come to this point, it’s time to reveal the secrets of the Bamboo God Cave to Zhuge Dan. After all, Zhuge Dan is now the mayor of Xiangxi. Such misunderstandings arise today.

"Father-in-law... I... I really don't know your good intentions!" After Zhuge Dan learned of this inside story, he regretted it to death. Maybe others don't know what this country's SS-level secret means. It is very clear in my heart.

But what's the use of regretting now, since he knows the secret, he also has to bear the responsibility of protecting the secret. For a while... Zhuge Dan only felt that the burden on his shoulders was a lot heavier invisibly.

He didn't know until now that this Xiangxi is really not simple.

It is much more complicated than the Xiangxi he knew at the beginning, and it is also much more valuable.

"It's not your fault. I also know that you, like Liu Xing, are all for the good of Xiangxi, but sometimes, it's right if it's not for the good of Xiangxi!" Mr. Liu said with a smile behind his hands: "Now Xiangxi has discovered something similar to Xiangxi. Phoenix grass is such a good thing, so you should be lucky, because even without the investment of Kelin Paper Mill, if you make good use of this Phoenix grass, you can still operate the economy of Xiangxi."

"What do you mean?" Zhuge Dan pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose suspiciously, and suddenly understood the meaning of his father-in-law's words in the next second.

Indeed, this phoenix grass is now a treasure in the world. If it is used well, then what kind of paper mills are needed to create an economy for Xiangxi!

To put it bluntly, if you take good care of these phoenix grasses, the whole of Xiangxi will benefit endlessly, and it will definitely become the best town in southern Hunan Province from the most backward town in the past.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Dan couldn't help but get excited.

Just as he was about to ask his father-in-law about the specific operation details of the Phoenix Grass, a thin man in black walked in with a document: "Report, Colin's investigation data has come out."

"Oh, take it over and have a look!" Liu Laolian said.

"Yes!" The thin man in black handed the document to Old Liu, then turned and left.

Out of curiosity, Zhuge Dan hurried to Elder Liu's side. When he saw that Ke Lin had a bad social background, he was dumbfounded.

Of course, that's not the point.

The focus is on Colin's paper mill, which has been shut down in his country.As for the reason, it is because of serious environmental pollution, which caused more than 300 deaths and injuries, and caused great pollution to the drinking water of tens of thousands of local people.

According to the information in the document, up to now at least thousands of people have suffered from various strange diseases due to drinking polluted water sources.

And Colin's compensation for these people was only a mere few hundred dollars, and when converted into domestic currency, it was a few thousand dollars at most.

These thousands of dollars will buy a person's life. To be honest, after Zhuge Dan realized it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He didn't realize until now that what Liu Xing said to him before was all from the bottom of his heart, not just fabricated lies.

If Xiangxi became what it said in the document because he introduced a paper mill, I am afraid that no matter how rich he is, he will not be able to make up for the guilt he feels towards the common people.

And this Ke Lin, he didn't come to Xiangxi to discuss the construction of a paper mill as if he had nothing to do. He was not helping Xiangxi, but harming Xiangxi, and there were hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangxi!
Thinking of this, Zhuge Dan slapped himself hard in annoyance.

Fortunately, I didn't go into a corner and listened to Colin's slander, but listened to what Liu Xing and his father-in-law said, otherwise I would have been killed by Colin.

Seeing Zhuge Dan's appearance, Liu Xing couldn't help shaking his head in amusing, and was about to leave to do his own business when the thin man in black came in again: "Report, that foreigner named Colin is here again, bringing More than a dozen people want to see Mayor Zhuge!"

"He still has the face!" Zhuge Dan gritted his teeth angrily.

"Did you say something?" Elder Liu asked with a frown.

"It is said that I want to discuss a big deal with Mayor Zhuge about No. 5000 disease. As long as it succeeds, this Colin is willing to pay million US dollars in advance!" The thin man in black said everything he knew.

"He came here for the phoenix grass!" Liu Xing kindly reminded.

"That's right, I'm just curious. Didn't I seal up all the inside information about the phoenix grass? How did Colin know about it?" Mr. Liu looked at Zhuge Dan in surprise, "Did you say it?"

"No! No! Absolutely impossible. Yesterday afternoon and this morning, I was able to deal with the issue of No. sick pigs with Village Chief Tang and Patriarch Zhuang in Xiangxi, so I have time to tell the inside story about Phoenix Grass!" Zhuge Dan even waved his hands back.

"That's why Ke Lin got an inside line in Xiang'an, otherwise he wouldn't know about the Southwest Mountain and Phoenix Grass!" Liu Xing said with a smile.

"Well, it makes sense! How about we go meet this Colin together?" Elder Liu followed suit with a smile.

"Okay!" Liu Xing nodded.

This Colin, who hadn't settled with him for the matter of attacking the Bamboo God's Cave before, and now he sent it to his door and wanted to attack the Phoenix Grass, really couldn't die if he didn't die.

"Then let's go!" Liu Lao walked in front and led the way.

Liu Xing followed behind with Zhuge Dan and Liu Ruyan.
