After dinner, he returned to his small abode.
An unavoidable and hearty battle ensued, though the final outcome remained the same as always with the sister who was both terrible and loved to play.
"You lied again. Where are you weak? You almost shook me apart!"
After the battle, Li Ya, her body slick with sweat, lay like a boneless mollusk on the soft, large bed, panting heavily.
It wasn't that she was too poor in combat, but rather that the scoundrel beside her had too powerful a fighting capacity. His kidneys were like a Teddy's, always making her both love and fear him.
In Qin Chuan's words, she was a typical example of being bad but loving to play. She was the one who liked to provoke, and she was also the one who lost the fastest.
The night passed without incident. The next morning, after a shared breakfast, they each drove to their respective factories.
Recently, Butterfly Apparel Factory was preparing to open its third branch. The chosen location was a nearby county town, a typical strategy of rural areas surrounding cities, developing stealthily.
As for Qin Chuan, he was entirely focused on tidying up the mess of Xinhua Electronics Factory.
Xinhua Electronics Factory had too many problems, making rapid development wishful thinking.
Qin Chuan wasn't in a hurry. He ate his meals bite by bite and drank his water slowly. He had plenty of time.
Unknowingly, half a month had flown by.
The season had entered October, and the temperature began to drop steadily. People put on their autumn clothes and trousers, and yellow fallen leaves were everywhere on the streets and alleys.
On this day, Qin Chuan received a call from his second brother Qin, informing him that the road to the sand extraction site was open.
Upon hearing this news, Qin Chuan immediately led his men and drove straight to the Jiulongwan destination. On the way, Li Ya called and, upon learning that Qin Chuan was going to Jiulongwan, insisted on accompanying him.
When everyone arrived, they stood on the mountaintop and saw a winding road that snaked along the mountain range, leading directly to the sandy beach at the very bottom.
Surrounding them were successive rolling green mountains, where the sky and earth met, creating a magnificent spectacle!
"Wow, I didn't expect our Yongnan County to have such a beautiful place!"
This was Li Ya's first time visiting Jiulongwan, and she exclaimed with the same awe as Qin Chuan and his group had on their first visit.
Because the scenery here was truly beautiful, it was definitely a rare and excellent place for a relaxing outing.
The entire road was about ten li long and had taken nearly three months to complete.
With a total investment of just over five hundred thousand, Qin Chuan had mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources for this road, which was finally completed.
A strong autumn wind blew, rustling everyone's clothes.
Standing around Qin Chuan were his second brother Qin, Qin Yang, Zheng Chengdao, Bai Xiaoguang, Yao Dong, and others, all with unconcealed excitement and joy on their faces.
"Aaaaahhhh!!!"
Many people excitedly stood on the mountaintop, shouting towards the winding Yellow River and mountain range below, releasing their emotions.
Qin Chuan also shouted towards the valley below. After several shouts, he felt a sense of immense pleasure, and the fatigue from days of work vanished.
"We finally have our own real mining resources!"
"From now on, call me a mine owner!"
Qin Chuan said to everyone jokingly.
They all burst into laughter in unison.
Sand was also a type of mineral resource. Although it was cheap and couldn't compare to precious metal ores, being the most basic, it made up for it with its sheer quantity!
The Yellow River flowed ceaselessly, bringing down countless fine sand with its surging currents every day. It could be said that unless there was an extremely unlucky event or rampant deforestation,
The sand in the Yellow River was unlikely to be depleted.
According to the mining permit, Qin Chuan was granted the right to extract for ten years. This meant that within these ten years, Qin Chuan could extract the greatest wealth from the Yellow River to his heart's content.
"Let's go, let's go down and take a look!"
After gazing from the mountaintop for a while, Qin Chuan led the team down the road by car.
The entire road was well-built, about six to seven meters wide, enough for two semi-trailer trucks to pass each other.
When the convoy reached the bottom, it turned into a vast, flat beach.
They parked their cars here and chose to proceed on foot.
"Xiao Chuan, that area is where we will build several brick houses for the workers to rest and cook in."
Second Brother Qin pointed to a high ground where construction had already begun and offered an explanation.
Qin Chuan glanced at it and nodded slightly. The location was well-chosen; even if the Yellow River flooded, it wouldn't be submerged.
"When will our sand dredging ship be ready?"
"Soon, in about a week!"
"By then, the brick houses here will also be completed, and we can put them into use together."
This time, Zheng Chengdao answered.
Chatting and laughing, they arrived at the banks of the Yellow River, facing the surging, roaring water.
"Boss, do you remember when we first came here to scout in the summer, and a few of us caught fish and had a barbecue by the Yellow River?"
Bai Xiaoguang suddenly seemed to recall something and turned to ask.
"Of course, I remember. The three of us brothers and you played for a whole afternoon!"
Qin Chuan said with a smile.
"When was this? How come I never knew about it?"
Li Ya asked with a face full of curiosity.
"You were busy taking care of the factory back then, so you didn't have time. Besides, the sun was scorching, and coming out was pure suffering."
Qin Chuan explained.
"Damn it, I heard about this from Xiaoguang. He's been bragging about it for ages! What were the rest of us doing back then?"
Yao Dong asked.
"I was probably guarding the real estate project at the time, and you were likely at the supermarket!"
Zheng Chengdao recalled and said.
Yao Dong nodded vigorously, then stared at the Yellow River water with shining eyes: "I think we can make up for the lost happiness now!"
His words sparked interest in many.
Li Ya's delicate face was filled with an eager expression, and she was the first to agree: "I think it's a great idea!"
"It's already October, and the Yellow River water is very cold..."
Qin Chuan frowned. He wasn't worried about himself, but about Li Ya's health. Everyone understood how women were.
"It's okay, we're all big men. A little cold is nothing!"
Yao Dong didn't grasp the boss's true intention. Perhaps he simply didn't understand women, he said dismissively.
"Boss's wife doesn't need to go into the water. I still have fishing rods, a barbecue grill, seasonings, beer, and snacks in my car. You can all fish by the shore, and afterward, we can all eat grilled fish and drink beer..."
At this moment, Bai Xiaoguang said softly.
This immediately captured everyone's attention, and Qin Chuan was also very surprised.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoguang chuckled: "We weren't well-prepared last time, so when I heard the boss was coming here, I brought some along!"
"I think this stuff is just what we need now!"
Qin Chuan kicked Bai Xiaoguang's backside.
"Then what are we waiting for? Go get it quickly!"
