Seize the tail of spring

  The rest was easy, and after a night of deliberation, the details of the cooperation were basically settled.

  Hu Zi first paid Xu Dingkun 2 million as compensation to cover all the costs of renting during Xu Fu's time. In addition, Xu Dingkun participated in the joint development of the mine with a 4% stake in the contract. Finally, Xu Dingkun also had an additional condition that the labor force from Xu Dingkun Village would be settled and work in the mine.

  With this contract, Hu Zi only scolded Xu Dingkun for being black-hearted. Such a contract that cut his own flesh, he still signed it for the first time. However, in the attached agreement of joint mining, there were also some clauses that guaranteed him to recover some losses. For example, payment of business taxes and various levels of leadership's miscellaneous affairs did not need to be handled by him. Liang Jin was responsible for packaging. He only needed to focus on running the factory, market, and sales channels. In this way, he only needed to act as a pure businessman and play his strengths. Business was his profession, and without complicated socializing, he was happy to be idle.

  Money can't be earned endlessly, don't be too greedy! Hu Zi could only comfort himself like this...

  Huzi knew in his heart that this marble mine was a famous brand - Peony Red. Calculating from the amount of ore on the surface, it was worth at least 200 million. Who knows what else was hidden underground and how many remaining veins there were. Huzi smiled wryly on the surface, but actually he couldn't help feeling delighted secretly.

  The contract was signed quickly, and after half a month of funding and equipment arrived, the mine started operation.

  Liáng Jìn has been running around non-stop, he's so dedicated, it's not in vain. Xú Dìng Kūn gave him 5 million and an additional 25% of the mine shares. However, these shares weren't all given to him. He took out 10% and gave 5% each to his uncle and aunt. The new county secretary got 2% each, and the town mayor got 1%. The town mayor wasn't even fired this time, it's already a blessing, for this 1%, he can get his hands on it, it's already a great favor.

  The newly appointed county magistrate and secretary received an unexpected gift as soon as they took office, and of course, they wouldn't complain. Besides, they also knew how deep the water was in the marble factory, and if they could avoid getting involved, they would. A lesson from past experiences, a teacher for future events. This bit of logic, they still understood.

  Hu Zi is indeed a successful businessman. The mine produced only half a month, and the first batch of products found the market. Liang Jin's heart was just happy, the machine rang out with 10,000 taels of gold, and he was waiting to count his money.

  Having power and influence is good, of course, but you also need to have a little brains. Liang Jin sincerely sighed! However, the only thing that made him feel a bit psychologically unbalanced was that he felt the 500,000 cash Xu Dingkun gave him was too little.

  Xu Dingkun initially invested only 1,000 yuan to acquire this barren mountain, which he was very clear about. With this 1,000 yuan, Xu Dingkun exchanged it for 2 million, what a great deal... Shouldn't he give himself a raise? Liang Jin thought to himself. However, considering he still held 10% of the shares, Liang Jin didn't mind too much...

  After everything had returned to normal, Liang Jin suddenly realized that he hadn't been paying attention to Xu Fu for over two months. Since the last gun-snatching incident, Liang Jin's view of Xu Fu had undergone a significant change. That scene easily reminded him of the thrilling adventure from over a decade ago...

  At that time, Liang Jin was still the militia battalion commander of the team.

  After the collective canteen had been open for a while, problems arose. There was no more food. The team decided to let Liang Jin lead the team to hunt in the mountains and alleviate the difficulty of eating. After a period of time, the animals around the mountain were almost all collected. To have any harvest, they had to go further away, deep into the mountains.

  Liáng Jìn walked for two days and still had nothing to show for it. He decided to try his luck again by himself.

  After struggling for a whole morning, he finally found his prey, an adult wild boar.

  Perhaps due to excessive excitement, Liang Jin's first shot missed the target. The wild boar was enraged, turned around, and charged towards Liang Jin. Before he could take his next action, the boar had already arrived in front of him. He painfully closed his eyes. Just as all hope seemed lost, a dark shadow flashed by, followed by a loud thud, and the boar suddenly flew out to the side, heavily slamming into the trunk of a nearby tree, its four legs twitching wildly.

  A young man wearing a gray cloth garment walked over, grasped the wild boar's four limbs, and with a few crisp cracks, the wild boar let out a few dry yelps and stopped moving.

  Is this still human? Liang Jin was stunned by the scene in front of him. The wild boar's leg was broken like a small twig, and several hundred kilograms of weight were kicked flying, which could only be heard in storytelling, but it happened right in front of his eyes. Liang Jin admired the young man in front of him with all his might.

  In the following days, Liang Jin stuck to the young man like a plaster. The young man was entangled and had no choice but to agree that he and Liang Jin could be friends. In a moment of impulsiveness, Liang Jin introduced his 16-year-old sister to the other party.

  So Xu Fu had a mother and Xu Dingkun had a wife.

  Xu Fu did not relax during this period of time, and was not neglected by Liang Jin because he was busy. Liang Jin was busy, Xu Dingkun was not busy, he had plenty of time to discipline Xu Fu.

  Making money was not Xu Dingkun's pursuit in life. In his eyes, it was just a string of numbers. After becoming rich, Xu Dingkun remained low-key and still lived in the two stone houses next to the mine. Every night when people were quiet, he would take Xu Fu to a deserted place to practice his skills.

  The only difference is that in order to take care of his wife, he asked Liang Jin to help him get a piece of land and build a house in the town. His wife had suffered with him for many years and should now enjoy some wealth. Of course, their two daughters, who were also Xu Fu's sisters, moved there with their mother.

  Xu Fu Zheng was at a critical moment in his training, he couldn't slack off. The ancestral Dragon Absorbing Technique, he had already practiced to the third layer, with a speed that was astonishingly fast, but still far from the ninth layer.

  Xu Dingkun himself had practiced for a lifetime, but only reached the sixth level. He hoped that Xu Fu would have a breakthrough. For dozens of generations, no one had succeeded, and the best ones were just like him, reaching the sixth level. Sometimes he even doubted whether the ninth level of Longxugong was just a legend. However, Xu Fu might succeed, as at his age, Xu Dingkun had only reached the second level.

  Xu Fu's greatest advantage lies not in his intelligence, but in his simplicity and lack of distractions. However, he seems to have become somewhat unsettled recently. This is not a good sign.

  Xu Fu has been somewhat annoyed lately.

  The problem lies with Liang Jin. With money, one should enjoy it. Liang Jin bought a Santana car, the best in the county, and felt superior to everyone else. He liked driving around with the wind blowing, taking Liang Jing and Xu Fu along. But Xu Fu wasn't enthusiastic about it, which made him unhappy, and he couldn't help but scold Xu Fu a couple of times.

  Liáng Jìn's views differed greatly from his father's, and Xú Fú didn't know who to listen to.

  Xu Dingkun understood the problem and advised Liang Jin to be more low-key, not so showy. Liang Jin didn't listen and didn't take it seriously. He just had a different opinion about Xu Fu again.

  White-eyed wolf, don't even think about it, who's your dad now?! Looking at Xu Dingkun with a careful expression. He couldn't help but sigh, peasants are just peasants.

  As for Xu Fu, he can only be measured by the standard of "dragon born dragon phoenix born phoenix, mouse's son will dig holes".

  After finishing junior high school in Zhen Town Middle School, Xu Fu moved into the county town with Liang Jin.

  Liang Jin still appears to be prosperous, but this is only superficial. The marble factory has closed down. After several years of development, the mine's resources have been depleted, leaving only a share of the closure. Xu Dingkun made over 100 million yuan in total, and Liang Jin also had tens of millions of dollars in dividends. Unfortunately, he was used to spending lavishly, and after a few years, he didn't have much left. On the other hand, Xu Dingkun continued to maintain his frugal lifestyle, living a simple life as usual.

  Years later, the real estate policy relaxed and the market had initially taken shape. Xu Dingkun secretly bought several existing houses in Hankou and Wuchang, Wuhan, which he believed had room for appreciation. As for how much they would appreciate, he didn't dare to predict. But making money was a certainty, he had a premonition.

  In the county town, Xu Dingkun also bought three suites, which were for his two daughters. The remaining one was left for himself to support his old age. Now Xu Fu has come to the county town to attend high school, and it's just right for him to use as a study place. Xu Fu's junior middle school grades were not bad in the town, but what about now that he is in the county town, who knows?

  However, Xu Dingkun was still somewhat at ease with regards to Xufu: This kid has a gentle temperament and won't stir up any big trouble.

  Ever since he was taught a lesson by himself after taking matters into his own hands last time, he hasn't been seen arguing with anyone. Even when someone hit him on the head, he didn't fight back, to the point where later he had to remind Xu Fu: there's no need to endure what can't be endured.

  Xu Fu's County No. 1 Middle School is a provincial key middle school. The top student of the town middle school, here can only be considered average, which makes Xu Fu feel pressure.

  After living with Liang Jin for a period of time, he wanted to move into his father's empty house by himself. Liang Jin was very unhappy and scolded him before asking Xu Fu to hand over the house key, which she kept herself.

  Liáng Jìn's house in the county town is not big, with only two rooms and a living room. Liáng Jìn and his wife occupy one room, Liáng Jìng occupies another, and Xú Fú can only squeeze into the attic. Liáng Jìn has an ulterior motive for doing this. He wants to force Xú Dìng Kūn to buy another house in the county town, after all, his brother-in-law is rich.

  After collecting the keys to Xu Fu's house, Liang Jin treated Xu Fu's house as his own palace. As for whether Xu Fu's study and life were convenient, he didn't consider it at all.

  In the past, when he was tough, his policies were also tough; now that he's soft, his policies have softened too. He must make use of the last bit of time to grasp the tail of spring. He has someone outside already.

  He has more than one lover, one nest is not enough, he still understands the principle of a cunning rabbit with three burrows.

  Xu Fu suffered in the attic for two years. If it weren't for his sister Liang Jing telling Xu Dingkun about the situation, Xu Fu wouldn't know how long he would have to endure.

  Xu Dingkun was upset, but he couldn't say anything, so he bought another house for Xu Fu and moved from the town to take care of Xu Fu's life. The Gaokao is approaching, if he doesn't work harder, it will be too late.

  However, an unexpected event disrupted his plans.
