Chapter 1813 Someone Is Trying to Stir up Trouble
There is nothing fun about the New Year in the countryside except for the excitement. Every day, they eat and sleep, and the only entertainment is playing cards. Or a group of people get together to chat.
When men get together to chat, they are either bragging or playing cards to brag.
When women get together to chat, they are talking about all kinds of family matters. Smart phones are now popular, and Yangjia Village is even covered by WIFI, but the speed at which young people in the village know about things around them is far slower than those old people who can't even use smart phones.
Which family in the neighborhood has married a new wife, which family has a child, which family has divorced and found a new man, in short, there is nothing these people don't know, it is simply an information exchange station for the surrounding ten miles and eight villages.
Yang Dongxu squatted on the ground and watched a few uncles walking their horses. Not far away, Du Weiwei and a few others were pulling Xiao Wenchen to play with his firecrackers. In fact, the children are the ones who are really happy during the New Year.
Or people like Du Weiwei who don't care that they are adults and have a crazy personality. After all, you have to let go of festivals like the New Year and don't be so restrained to feel happy, otherwise you always feel very decadent every day and eat except for sleeping.
The most lively people when several old men were playing chess were not the people who played chess, but the people who were watching. The saying "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word" does not apply here.
Originally, the two people played chess and they were the people who played chess, but they became tools while playing chess, and the people watching became military advisors.
Originally, the people who played chess did not take the win or loss seriously, but the people watching started to quarrel first.
But they were not convinced by each other after the quarrel, so they went to the side to play another game. Anyway, this thing does not cost much. The nine horizontal and nine vertical Go squares can be drawn on the ground at will, and the chess pieces can be used as a small wooden stick or a small stone.
But the people who started the quarrel never did so, and continued to direct the next game, which made the people who played chess want to quit. They were playing well, but they ended up being tools for the quarrelers.
"Xuzi, your phone is ringing?" Zhou Ya waved at a distance with Yang Dongxu's mobile phone.
When Yang Dongxu was at home, he rarely took his mobile phone because his mobile phone was saved with a private number that not many people knew.
Everyone knows that he dislikes noise and doesn't like fake politeness. So usually, no one calls him. Even for New Year's greetings, most of the time, they send text messages.
Most of the time, his phone is used to contact a few women, and he rarely calls his family.
It's not that he doesn't want to call his parents when he is out, but both Yang's father and mother like to call their daughter-in-law Zhou Ya, or chat with their grandson and granddaughter who can't talk much, more than chatting with him, their son.
He ran over to get the phone, wondering who was calling, because if it was Bai Xi and the others calling, Zhou Ya didn't have to take the phone to find him, she could answer it.
The women created a YY group, where they chatted every day, and their sisterhood was closer than with her husband Yang Dongxu.
So if Bai Xi and the others called, if there was nothing urgent, Zhou Ya would just chat with them for a few minutes, and let Yang Dongxu call back in the evening. She wouldn't come to him with the phone like now.
"Who is it?" Yang Dongxu took the phone and asked.
"Qian Liang." Zhou Ya said.
The phone has been hung up now. It's a long way from the old house to here, so Zhou Ya told Qian Liang to hang up first and call him back after finding Yang Dongxu.
She took the phone and clicked the return call. The phone was connected after two rings.
"It's almost the New Year. What do you want to talk to me about? Are you here to wish me a happy New Year in advance?" Yang Dongxu asked.
"Well, Mr. Yang, do you have any connections in Australia? Something happened in the mine I invested in Australia."
"What happened? An accident occurred during mining?" Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows.
He knew that Qian Liang had been playing with minerals in Australia in recent years. Not only Qian Liang, but many people he knew went to Australia to invest in minerals.
Australia is vast and sparsely populated with rich mineral resources. In addition, state-owned enterprises now purchase iron ore and other minerals from Australia in tens of thousands every year. Such a profitable business, Qian Liang, who has the capital and connections, can't help but get involved and share a piece of the pie.
"It's not an accident. The mining equipment and preliminary preparations have just been completed and the excavation has not started yet. The equipment entered the site, but the Australian mining bureau came over and said that this place was not up to standard and that place was not up to standard. Several local residents also came out and said that the mine occupied their land and demanded compensation." Qian Liang said hurriedly.
"Did you not manage it well, or did you offend someone?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask.
This kind of equipment just entered the site and was ready to start work, but the site was sealed off or otherwise moved. It is too common in international mineral investment.
There are only two results when encountering such a thing. One is that the person who should be managed was not managed well. This is the other party's trick to make you pay for it.
The second is that you encounter local ruffians and local bosses who rely on their certain connections in the local area, so they make trouble at the right time to make some money.
"I have already arranged everything that needs to be arranged. How can I dare to allow the equipment to enter the site without paving the way in advance? As for offending people, it is inevitable to offend people when doing business.
But in order to avoid trouble, I directly spent a lot of money to hire an international security company to guard the site. This international security company is very capable, and ordinary hooligans dare not provoke it at all.
But now these ordinary people have gone into the mines. The Australian Minerals Bureau used this as a reason to temporarily ban the mines from starting. The security company has been coordinating for several days with no results at all, and they haven't even figured out the reason. "
Qian Liang's tone was anxious.
There was no rush. As long as only workers entered the site, he could not afford to lose a few dollars of workers' wages. But some of those large-scale mining equipment are purchased and some are rented, and money is flowing out every day.
What's more important is that after he won the mine, he received a lot of purchasing contracts. Because of his strong connections, he had to work overtime to complete the orders he placed, striving to make the most money in the shortest time.
Suddenly the mine was closed and no work was allowed to start. If the goods could not be delivered on time, just the penalty would be enough to break his bones. In addition, at this time, half of his net worth and the investment of many partners were also invested in this mine.
If he doesn't figure out the cause of this matter, he will definitely go bankrupt if he does this from time to time in the future.
"Let me ask you first."
It had been a few days since he heard about the incident. Qian Liang didn't even figure out the cause of the incident. Yang Dongxu's first feeling was that the person behind it probably had a lot of background.
After all, not everyone can grasp the influence of the capital gathered by Qian Liang and his partners. In addition, coupled with various relationships, they are also veterans of long-term investment in the international market.
This time, he was manipulated so hard that he didn't know who he had offended. It was obvious that the other party had a lot of background.
