Chapter 135 [It Is Very Important to Ask for Intelligence From the Outside]
Bel Singh smiled and said, "If you have money, you can build a permanent scaffolding or iron pipe welding. If you don't have money, you can build a temporary one, using bamboo to build a frame."
"Then lay the prime minister or thatch on top, which can block the wind and rain. Don't underestimate bamboo. It can be used for at least three to five years."
The old housekeeper agreed with this. The old housekeeper has been dealing with bamboo all his life. There is a large bamboo forest in the Lagar Valley. Many living tools are made of bamboo. Of course, we know the toughness and corrosion resistance of bamboo.
It is already very remarkable to be able to survive three to five years, and how much cost can be reduced. If steel pipes are welded, it is easier to build a permanent scaffolding, but what about the cost? What the Singh family lacks now is money.
It is repairing bridges, roads, and expanding business. Which one does not cost money? Save as much as possible. Master Singh has basically solved all the problems, so what else can be said. The brick factory is not a high-tech factory. If it is fast, it can be built within a month. The most difficult part is the brick kiln, which is the soul of the brick factory. It is not so easy to build and is very technical.
But the old housekeeper thought of what Master Singh said before, money can make the devil push the mill. What can't be done with money? As long as there is enough money, the brick kiln can rise from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, but you are afraid that you don't have money. As the steward of the entire Singh family, how much money does the family have? The old housekeeper estimated in his heart how much money it would cost to start a brick factory, and then reported to Master Singh.
"Master, I just calculated in my heart that the preparation time for the brick factory should be about one month, and the slowest will not exceed one and a half months. It is the rainy season at that time. The funds needed to prepare the brick factory should be more than 20 million rupees, and the big spender is the construction project of the brick kiln."
The price estimated by the old housekeeper and the price estimated in his heart are less than 3 million rupees. 20 million rupees are enough to prepare a large brick factory. In addition, in the rainy season, the drying time should be about half of that in the dry season, which means that the bricks produced in the dry season should be dried in about four days. If it is in the rainy season, it will take 6 to 8 days, and then it will be sent to the brick kiln for firing. The first batch of finished bricks can be produced in two months, and the effect can be seen immediately.
This speed is still acceptable. Besides, the family is short of funds for bridge and road construction, but it is not a problem to squeeze out 20 million rupees. This is a good business with a lot of money, why not do it? You can make money and solve the problem of too much clay in the cement plant. It kills two birds with one stone, so Bel Singh laughed and immediately made a decision.
"What else can I say? Let's do it. From this afternoon, we will prepare for the construction of the brick factory, and you will be in charge. I will do my best to meet your needs for money and people. I just want to say that I will see finished bricks produced from my brick factory in two months."
The old housekeeper knew that the Singh family was short of people now, and there were too few people who could stand on their own. Even the master of his family, who is so noble, still gets up early and works late every day to supervise the construction site. As the chief steward of the family, he should be responsible for all matters. This is his responsibility. What can he shirk? In addition, the old housekeeper was worried about leaving this important matter in the hands of others, so he nodded and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, master. I personally organized this brick factory. In two months, I will let you see the finished bricks produced by our family. By then, whether it is building a house or any other project in Lagar Valley, the bricks used will be produced by our family. At that time, the price will be reduced by more than 50%."
Of course, he was relieved by the old housekeeper, but Belsinger actually stopped the old housekeeper's request for expansion. But Singh's appetite is much bigger than the old housekeeper, and he is more realistic. He knows that the first move is strong, and the last move will suffer.
Is the world's martial arts only fast and invincible? Of course, we must prepare for a rainy day. After just finishing the preparations for the brick factory, Belsinger coughed and said slowly. "The preparation of the brickyard has been decided. You are in charge. I am very relieved. But I rejected the proposal of immediate action for the matter you proposed to me just now, but the preliminary investigation work cannot be relaxed. Only by knowing ourselves and the enemy can we win every battle."
"You are responsible for this matter personally, find a candidate that our family can trust, and infiltrate the largest brick factory in Wuma Town as an insider. By the way, check the composition structure of various forces in Wuma Town, and achieve 100% intelligence accuracy. After this rainy season is over, it will be the time for our Qingge family to show their claws. Intelligence determines everything. Do you understand?"
The old housekeeper understood it very well. This is the master Singh he knew, and this is the newly rising hero in the Singh family. Looking ahead and behind, fearing wolves in front and tigers behind, that is not the character of Bell Singh. The reason why he endured until the end of the rainy season is that the Singh family really did not have extra money to launch a war of annexation, and had to give up the fat meat at their mouths.
But letting go does not mean giving up. Advance intelligence is essential. When the old housekeeper heard this, he sneered and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will arrange a nail soon. Put it in the largest brick factory in Wuma Town. Find out what's going on inside, so that it will be convenient for us to take action."
Bel Singh really has to thank God and Lord Shiva for giving the Singh family such a shrewd old housekeeper. How much trouble did he save himself? Although the two sides did not say it clearly, they understood each other and discussed the matter in a few words.
He also said a few words to ask the old housekeeper to pay more attention to his health and rest. If there was no old housekeeper at home, it would be a mess. He must take care of his body, live to be a hundred years old in good health, and serve the Singh family for another 50 years.
After hanging up the phone, looking at the lively scene in the distance and the rumbling sound of cannons, Bel Singh felt his blood boiling. Then someone would say, how much money can you make from a cement factory and a brick factory? The Singh family has so much capital. Why not take this money to big cities such as Mumbai and New Delhi to do real estate? Selling a house is equivalent to the income of a cement factory for half a month. Is this small fight interesting?
It's really interesting. We said before that India is the second most populous country after China, and its economic development has been very rapid in recent years. Just like the reform and opening up, you can make money in India by doing anything, but having money does not mean you have a high status, nor does it mean you can do whatever you want in big cities.
Bel Singh is very clear about what kind of character and what kind of ability he has. He can be said to be a local emperor in Sinjar Town. No one dares to shake his position. In other big cities in Rajasthan, he is a high-level noble and enjoys some privileges that others think are incredible.
No mistake, one post, one content, one book, one forum!
But when you go to Mumbai or Delhi, you are just a rich upper caste. If you are a dragon, you have to coil up and if you are a tiger, you have to lie down. One is a local emperor, and the other is a rich upper class. Can these two completely different feelings be the same? So Bel Singh would never go to Delhi or Mumbai to live, and he would rather be the king in the countryside.
