My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 471 Student Bread
"With regard to the water supply problem, we have designed two solutions. One is to transport water directly from Renchuan Port; the other is to purchase several small seawater desalinators, which can save a lot of water costs."

Xu Dong frowned. The daily water supply for tens of thousands of people is indeed not an easy task.

But he soon discovered the inconsistency:
"Even if there is a small seawater desalinator, doesn't it still need seawater? Since we are all transporting water, why not just transport fresh water?"

"Hey, Old Xu, we can build a water pipeline. The seawater can not only be used for desalination, but also can be used for bathing and washing clothes. This will serve multiple purposes." Mr. Cai explained.

"Water pipeline? No, no, the cost is too high, we can't afford to build it."

Xu Dong repeatedly shook his head.

He opened a low-cost apartment for making money, not for charity in the past.

Director Lu said: "Brother Xu, in the not-too-distant future, Hancheng officials will definitely follow our example in laying water pipelines.

I guess their main line must be built along the Han River, we only need to make up a branch line, and the investment is not much. "

Xu Dong looked at the documents in his hand. Guanyue District was not far from Hanjiang, at most two or three kilometers. Such a calculation did not cost much.

"Go on."

"In addition, we can also use the tap water network in Guanyue District, which can not only save a lot of construction costs, but also deliver water to households."

Xu Dong finally became interested: "You mean to supply tap water? No, it should be to supply tap sea water?"

"That's right, the entire Guanyue District is our territory, we can remodel it however we want..."

"It's a good idea. Let's make a record first. After the Hancheng water pipeline is repaired, we will follow up immediately."

Xu Dong ordered directly.

Next, everyone discussed other issues, and it was not until the evening that the reconstruction plan was roughly determined.

……

After bidding farewell to Mr. Cai and others, Xu Dong went to his father's office along the way. This time he was lucky, and his father just came back.

He stepped forward to touch the golden horse.

"Is the matter of the Quick 8 Hotel finished?"

Xu Dong rubbed his sore neck: "I've been in the meeting all day, and I'm exhausted."

"I can't bear it after staying for a day? Your father and I are like this every day, so we can't hold on to it."

Dad Xu said angrily.

Xu Dong knew he was wrong, so he didn't follow suit, but quickly changed the topic:
"Dad, what's going on at the bakery?"

"It's coming soon, two-thirds of the production line has been installed, and it will be completed by the end of the month."

"Isn't this too fast? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xu Dong asked curiously.

"It's okay to tell you, the city plans to promote student bread, and the extra production capacity is dedicated to this." Father Xu replied.

"Student bread? What's that?"

Regardless of past life or present life, Xu Dong had never heard of this thing at all.

"Almost the same nature as school milk."

"Free?"

Father Xu shook his head: "I heard from Secretary Yao that it is free on the surface, but when the rations are distributed, the big data will deduct them in advance. Thinking about it, I know how there is so much food in the city."

"Then what's the point of doing this?"

Xu Dong was full of question marks.

"Of course it makes sense. One is to prevent a small number of parents from doing nothing. In addition, the city has applied for a batch of nutritious food from the reserve, which will be added to the bread at that time, which is equivalent to giving the students extra meals in disguise."

"What nutrition?"

"I don't know exactly what it is. I heard that there are fats, shredded pork, sugar, etc. By the way, there are also dried shrimps. They should be the kind we eat at home."

Xu Dong nodded thoughtfully: "Will it be promoted nationwide?"

"I don't know, this time seems to be just an experiment. A total of three cities have been selected, and the other two are Shanghai, Beijing and Yangcheng. It is estimated that based on the results of the experiment, we will decide whether to promote it nationwide!"

"How long was the experiment in total?"

"Only one year."

"Won't the other cities suffer a lot?"

Xu Dong couldn't help complaining.

After all, their family didn't get wool in the previous life, so it's inevitable that they are a little bit aggrieved.

Father Xu glanced at his youngest son in surprise.

"It's not as simple as you think. There will definitely be relevant subsidies in other cities. This matter is beyond our control, so don't inquire about it."

Xu Dong said helplessly, "When will it start?"

"If there are no accidents, starting from the first of next month, all the rations for this month will be distributed, and we will not be able to collect them even if we want to."

"Producing student bread, is there any profit in the factory?"

Xu Dong asked a very crucial question.

Father Xu smiled wryly and said, "Why do you always think about making money? This is a public welfare undertaking, so you're not afraid of being poked in the back?"

"I said Dad, do you think I think it's not because of the multi-billion loan. This delay, when will our family pay off the loan?"

Xu Dong couldn't help complaining.

"You don't have to worry about the loan. The next 2 billion is an interest-free loan, so the repayment pressure is not too great." Dad Xu quickly comforted him.

"Is this a matter of interest?"

Xu Dong complained secretly.

Probably feeling the dissatisfaction of his youngest son, Dad Xu also became anxious. After all, it was a loan of 4 billion, just like a mountain.

"Third, are you sure about your low-cost apartment?"

"Should be alright, right?"

Xu Dong recalled his previous life, and vaguely remembered that Hancheng seemed to be developing well. There was a family in their community who immigrated directly with a lot of relatives.

"I recently asked someone to inquire about the progress of the negotiations of the Asian League. It seems that it is not as good as you said. I heard that there are quite big differences. Everyone said that there may not be any progress in ten years."

Dad Xu expressed doubts.

Speaking of this, Xu Dong suddenly became confident: "Dad, don't listen to those people's nonsense. I work in the power company and know more than them. How about I give you an old analysis?"

Dad Xu took a sip of deer antler tea from his water cup.

"Cough, since last year, our country has been short of coal, and this year's situation is not very optimistic. A lack of coal is equal to a lack of electricity. This is a terrible thing."

"What does the lack of coal have to do with the establishment of the Asian League?"

Dad Xu couldn't figure out the connection.

Xu Dong had no choice but to analyze patiently: "Dad, the lack of coal in our country is mainly due to the difficulty of mining and inconvenient transportation.

But there is a place that is not only rich in coal reserves, it can be mined for hundreds of years, and it is close to the coastline, so it is not difficult to transport. Guess which place it is? "

"where?"

Xu's father only had a junior high school education, not to mention that he was asking about such unpopular geography knowledge, he probably forgot it decades ago, or he didn't learn it at all.

"It's Kangaroo Country."

Xu Dong gave the answer directly.

Dad Xu was at a loss: "The Kangaroo Country did not participate in the Asian League negotiations."

"It doesn't matter whether the Kangaroo National Counselor participates in the negotiations. What matters is whether we can control the coal mines over there." Xu Dong said in a low voice.

"What do you mean?"

Xu Dong also knew that his father couldn't understand things that were too profound, so he simply explained in plain language:

"Dad, let me give you a simple example."

"If a person wants to make a fortune, he has two ways. One is to grab other people's cakes, and the other is to unite other people to make the cake bigger together."

"Our approach is the second?"

"No, we're doing both."

Father Xu finally understood.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what his youngest son said made sense.

In fact, Xu Dong's approach is a typical example of effect leading to cause, and he naturally has an advantage. If he intends to be a grandma in Xiaopozhan, he will definitely become the first brother in the economic zone.
