Chapter Fifty-Nine Visitation

  With the help of Director Liu, Heizi smoothly contracted the town's public transportation company. Heizi never understood why Director Liu would help him. Zhuo Xiaofei said that day Director Liu was indeed going fishing, but Heizi still couldn't figure it out. There were three reservoirs and five or six fish ponds around the small town, how did Director Liu just happen to come to his place to go fishing?

  Hei Zi is not an ungrateful person, as soon as he got the bus company, he went to thank Liu Zhenzhang, he put 50,000 yuan on a card and sent it to Liu Zhenzhang, but Liu Zhenzhang refused to accept it, almost driving Hei Zi away, Hei Zi had no choice but to give up.

  Later, after Hei Zi and Liu Zhenzhang became familiar with each other, he asked why he went fishing that day. Liu Zhenzhang told him that he and Village Chief Zhao Guangqing were good friends, and they often went fishing in the reservoir during the summer. That day, he had gone to find Zhao Guangqing to go fishing, but Zhao Guangqing had something on, so he took his fishing rod and left. Unexpectedly, he met Lao Xiao's daughter Wu Mei by the reservoir, and when he found out that this year's contract for the reservoir was related to Hei Zi, he started talking about Hei Zi with Wu Mei.

  Liu Zhenchang was not unfamiliar with the name Heizi, Zhao Weiguo and Liu Deputy Mine had both mentioned him, they all had a good impression of Heizi, thinking that although he was mixed up, he wasn't like other mixed-up people who were completely useless.

  These days, the township is undergoing reform, and the higher authorities require support for township enterprises, requiring subordinate enterprises to be restructured. In recent days, there has been constant bickering among subordinates over the contracting of public transportation companies, all wanting their own people to contract it. Director Liu knows that no matter who he listens to, it's just a piece of fat falling into the wolf's mouth, and the township government is likely not even see a little oil.

  Liu Zhenzhang and Heizi were eating when he suddenly had an idea, to package the bus company to Heizi himself in order to gain control. Before packaging, set a rule for Heizi, so that when the town government needs money, they can get it from Heizi's hands. He believed Heizi was not an ungrateful person.

  Town Head Liu told Hei Zi the truth, and now Hei Zi is Town Head Liu's friend. He said that as long as Town Head Liu is still here being the town head, he will definitely support him.

  Hei Zi knew that getting along with Liu Zhenzhang was the way to go, and he couldn't just get by on eating and drinking. He had to make a name for himself as a high-class rogue.

  After taking over the public transportation company, Hei Zi and his team were busy for a while, receiving, sorting out and re-scheduling bus times. After everything was ready, Hei Zi used the public transportation company as collateral to borrow 700,000 yuan from the bank, which he used to buy four new buses.

  Long-distance buses were handed over to Er Chengguan, and Hu Changfu was his assistant. From then on, Heizi had his own company.

  After a busy period of time, it became idle. During the summer vacation, Zhao Bin returned from the capital, and Hei Zi and Zhu Xiaofei became frequent visitors to Zhao Wei's home.

  In junior high school, among the five people in the same dormitory, Hei Zi and Zhao Bin's relationship was different. Recently, Zhao Bin has been elegant and generous, with a personality that is different from the other four people. He won't go out of his way to cause trouble or fight without reason. At first, everyone else looked down on him, but only Hei Zi treated him like a brother.

  Later, Zhao Bin came up with many ideas to help everyone get through many difficulties. The views of the other three people towards Zhao Bin changed, and Zhao Bin became a think tank in the minds of the other four people.

  Zhao Bin returned for a few days, Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei told Zhao Bin about the things that had happened to them in the past six months, both of whom hoped that Zhao Bin would analyze it and let their careers go on the fast track.

  Zhao Bin analyzed the characteristics of the two and the things they did, and put forward his own suggestions. Zhao Bin believed that their development direction was completely correct, but the two were mixed, only thinking about how to mix, without thinking about establishing their own industry. The practice of contracting a public transportation company is very good and worth learning from. He suggested that if possible, contract the town's iron factory as well, so that within two years, the net worth of the two would exceed 100 million, and at that time, the two would no longer be ordinary mixed sons.

  Hei Zi didn't even think about it, now the iron factory is a profitable unit, and steel prices are rising again. The town government will not contract out the iron factory.

  Another development direction proposed by Zhao Bin is to acquire a large number of mines, establish his own ore dressing plant and pelletizing plant, which also has great potential for development.

  Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei strongly agreed with this proposal, they decided that as long as the money was enough, they would massively acquire mining rights and establish a mineral processing plant. However, establishing a mineral processing plant requires a large amount of capital, currently, the two only have tens of millions, while setting up a mineral processing plant requires at least 18 million, which is not feasible for now.

  When they talked about past events, they naturally thought of their other brothers. The three of them had nothing to do and drove to the county town to find their eldest brother Liu Pengfei.

  Liu Pengfei made a fortune in the criminal police team quickly, he was generous with his money, and was highly praised by the captain. He participated in many profitable tasks and after several months, he saved up enough to buy a small restaurant.

  Liu Pengfei doesn't know how to run a restaurant, and his more than ten younger brothers don't either. They only know how to eat and drink. After opening for a month, the small restaurant lost over 3,000 yuan.

  Liu Peng's personality is generous and open-handed. Anyway, now every month, apart from his salary, he also has an income of 5,000 to 6,000 yuan. He doesn't care about losing money at all. Having a restaurant makes it convenient for him and his brothers to eat and drink together, so he plans to keep the restaurant open forever.

  The four brothers gathered together and naturally thought of Wu Yu. Among them, Wu Yu was the second, small in stature, agile, and ruthless when fighting, as he had been sent to a labor camp for severely injuring someone. Everyone felt it wasn't worth it for him.

  Heizi suggested that everyone go take a look at Wu Yu, and received unanimous approval from everyone.

  On the last day of July in the scorching heat, Heizi drove a car and took his brothers away.

  The re-education farm is 178 kilometers away from the county town, and it took more than three hours to get there. When I arrived at the gate of the re-education team, I asked around and was told that Wu Yu and others had gone out to work. If you want to see them, go find them yourself.

  The labor reform team's big yard was surrounded by fields everywhere, and the rugged winding dirt roads led to all directions. The guards only told them a general direction, where to go and find? The four of them started to worry.

  Just as I didn't know which way to go, an old man wearing a prisoner's uniform and driving a horse-drawn carriage slowly walked over from afar.

  Everyone felt strange, and the labor reform team still had such a thing. The prisoner wandered around alone without anyone taking care of him. Liu Pengfei stepped forward and asked: "Sir, we are looking for someone, the gate guard said that he went out to work, we don't know which way to go, can you give us directions?"

  Liu Pengfei spoke extremely politely, Heizi and Zhu Xiaofei almost burst out laughing, it was the first time they saw Liu Pengfei speak like this.

  The old man looked at them and said: "Who are you looking for?"

  "We look at Wu Yu, he is our brother." Liu Pengfei said with a smile.

  The old man heard that it was Wu Yu's and smiled: "I know, follow me, I'm going to where they work."

  Liu Pengfei and Zhao Bin, Zhu Xiaofei walked behind the old man, Heizi drove, they went south along the dirt road.

  Along the way, they learned that the old man had been released from prison after serving his sentence, and there was no one left in his family. So he became an employee of the labor reform farm, responsible for driving horse-drawn carts to transport goods. His work was very free, and occasionally he would also bring some contraband such as cigarettes and liquor into the farm. As a result, the prisoners all had great respect for him.

  When they saw Wu Yu, Wu Yu was sitting on the ridge with two bald men smoking. When he saw them coming, Wu Yu was stunned for a moment, blinking his eyes, and tears did not fall.

  Two bald men saw them coming to see Wu Yu, and they also walked over with a smile. The two of them had an attitude towards Wu Yu that was neither warm nor cold, Hei Zi looked at them in confusion, not knowing what their relationship was like.

  According to regulations, visiting must go through certain procedures. Hei Zi and the others came for the first time without bringing anything, and soon, the disciplinary cadres intervened.

  "If you don't have the proper procedures, then leave. Visitation is not allowed here," said a middle-aged discipline officer wearing glasses with a sullen face.
