Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 2171: Being intercepted
"This is the estimated price of this factory. It can't be higher. If we continue like this, we won't be able to proceed with the next calculation or even operation. You can talk to your boss in detail. We are not here to take advantage of your misfortune!"

The cost engineer carefully checked all the equipment in the factory and was not very optimistic.

When the Europeans and Americans fled, they only left the locals to guard the place. Employment and theft are the norm here.

Since they couldn't touch the heavy equipment, these people started with the electrical control system. Except for the large three-phase circuit breakers that had entered the factory, almost all the remaining circuit breakers were taken away.

Some terminal blocks contain rare metals, so they are also severely stolen. Most of the exposed wires in the factory have been stolen, and only those buried underground have survived. Restoring the site will also be a big problem.

The main body of the factory is still in good condition, so the evaluation price given by the engineer is only based on the depreciation of the equipment plus the landing cost, as well as the factory building conditions.

"Absolutely not. The Koreans have estimated the price for this factory before, and this price is absolutely not acceptable. The price the Koreans gave is three times yours. Now you are too good at bargaining. We would rather not do it..."

The staff in charge of the connection had their eyes blazing with anger, and the engineer from Yiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing also spread his hands helplessly, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

The entire factory is now completely unable to operate. Many European and American equipment need to purchase schematics and rewire, which is very difficult to restore.

The two sides parted unhappily. Hu Xinyu originally thought that the other party would call her or find the person in charge on site, but this time Hu Xinyu miscalculated.

"The Koreans picked up the phone? Damn, how did they pick up the phone?"

Seeing the photos and videos, Hu Xinyu was a little confused.

It is normal for Koreans to compete with Chinese companies for the market, but that factory is not worth the price at all, why would the other party accept it? Are they stupid?

"They also lent money to locals and took over the construction of infrastructure for the oil and gas fields. Now we just have to wait for the equipment to land. We are losing money on this!"

The secretary explained the details to Hu Xinyu, followed by detailed quotes for various items.

"Haha, let them do it, don't worry! These grandsons have other projects they want to do, and they will definitely lose money in the later stages, don't worry!"

Looking at the offer made by the Koreans, which was as bad as breaking the bank, Hu Xinyu felt relieved.

Looking at the map of Afghanistan, and then at the overall planning map of Harat, Hu Xinyu pointed at a line on it and nodded.

In this way, the Koreans took over the factory at a very high price. As for the infrastructure project in Harat, Ji Donglai was in charge. This time, Banban paid in US dollars, a payment made with gnashing teeth.

Ji Donglai had already returned home at this time, and it had been several years since he last went home.

This time, Ji Donglai took a plane. The whole family chartered a plane to Harbin, and then a convoy escorted them back to the old house.

"Hey, my eldest granddaughter is back, haha..."

Ji Ping was holding the little baby from Qiu Haitang's family, and he was so happy.

"Grandpa, I'm back too, you can't see me!"

When Ji Zhensheng got out of the car and saw his grandfather holding his little sister, his eyes were full of jealousy and he cried out.

"I can't hold you anymore, Grandpa is old, come in quickly!"

Ji Ping was also very happy to see his grandson. Ji Donglai's grandmother slowly came out of the house, stretched out her hand to check on Qiu Haitang's little one, her eyes full of love.

Li Xun and Wang Jue both came back early, and now the house has been almost cleaned up by them, with the wooden stumbling blocks piled up like a wall.

"It's still more comfortable at home. Zhensheng, you and your brothers and sisters are not allowed to act recklessly. Be careful when you play on the ice... This guy is running so fast!"

Ji Donglai was still instructing his son, but when he turned around, he was gone.

The two children of Li Xun's family have grown up now, and together with Ji Zhensheng, they are like letting a tiger return to the mountains. The fish pond in front of the door and the woods behind are places that few people dare not cross.

Especially Ji Zhensheng, who had watched Ji Ping packing things since he was a child. He would take out Ji Ping's tools in a minute and take the children in the family out to chisel the ice to fish.

This year, Ji Ping raised big carp, crucian carp and grass carp in the fish pond, waiting for Ji Donglai to come back for the New Year.

"How's it going out there? Have you had enough beef and mutton? Haha..."

Li Xun and Ji Donglai have never been together. A group of women gathered together to look after the children, and Li Xun and Ji Donglai went to the front.

Ji Dongfeng's family also saw Ji Donglai's convoy, which was now heading here. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have to slaughter the pig in the next few days. According to the annual custom, the whole family would roast oil the next day.

Li Xun's family will come early, this time not only Wang Jue's parents, but also Li Xun's family. When Ji Donglai's position in the family began to play an important role, Li Xun's parents also began to look at Ji Ping's family with new eyes.

"Don't mention it. There's nothing else except this thing. We killed a wild boar over there and ate it all in half a month. Those days..."

Talking about his life abroad, Ji Donglai complained about all kinds of things! Li Xun was talking with great interest, and Wang Jue soon came over.

"My uncle has had a stroke!"

"What?"

After giving Ji Donglai some melon seeds, Wang Jue and a few others began to talk about family matters. Ji Donglai had not expected that Ji Zhong had a stroke. In his previous life, Ji Donglai did not have much impression of this uncle.

Ji Heng passed away a few years ago and the family had a lot of unhappiness. Ji Donglai still remembers it.

"It was all about the house. The lawsuit went all the way to the Intermediate Court, and the court made the final judgment. But they just occupied the house and refused to let the owner leave. Except for your uncle, several other families got angry and applied to the court for compulsory execution. It happened before the New Year."

"My uncle had a stroke, and my aunt stopped making a fuss. It turned out that my aunt had brought all the aunts and uncles from their mother's side over, and even bought gasoline. That scene..."

Wang Jue was speechless when talking about Ji Zhong's family affairs, especially his little cousin, who was an absolute piece of good-for-nothing.

I could still move around before I wore the mask, but now I don’t want to go out to work at all.

The whole person was like a dead person. While Ji Zhong and his brothers were fighting for the property, the other party was playing games so calmly, and did not interfere with eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping every day.

"That's all he thought about. He's destined to have no good results in this life. When the old man was still around, if his family had shown some respect as children, my dad wouldn't have told us about the house."

"They are all sons, and the old man has never lived in their house for a single day in his life. They eat and drink the best food and drink, and they feel at ease leaving the old man here. Later on, they even want to take over the old man's property. How abominable..."

Ji Donglai had no sympathy for Ji Zhong's family.

Ever since the other party came to the house to steal money, Ji Donglai knew that this family was hopeless.

Ji Donglai's family has two laid-off workers and one who is in school. The old man has cancer, and you still want to take away such a small amount of life-saving money. How can you be a human being?
"I heard that my aunt is coming over this year. My mom and the others said so. Nothing should happen, right?"

Wang Jue looked at his cousin and knew that Ji Donglai still couldn't let it go.

This matter is not Ji Donglai's fault, nor is it my uncle Ji Ping's fault. My uncle is at fault. When my grandpa was leaving, at such a critical moment, the other party made a fuss and it was impossible to tell whether he was there or not.

The old lady has been living with my uncle for many years. Although I am rich enough to support her, it is absolutely unacceptable for her as a son to never visit her once.

"My uncle's family is pretty poor, and they're all old. My eldest uncle wants to forget about the house. My mom said, let's just leave it that way. What do you think, little brother?"

Looking at Ji Donglai's expression, Wang Jue said tentatively, and Ji Donglai frowned.

"Why are you asking me? I have never been involved in this matter from the beginning to the end, so don't ask me! The quota house of my grandfather was sold to me by my colleague, and I didn't buy it from my grandfather. The rest of the properties were originally owned by my colleagues, and this is all well documented."

"We have already agreed not to drag me into this. I really don't want to get involved in this shit! If you have time, spend more time educating your child. Let him find a good job or start his own business!"

"Has Ji Dongtao ever worked in a job for more than half a year? Basically, he just experiences life, then goes home to lie down and play games. When he gets bored of staying at home, he goes out to experience life."

"The family paid for the round trip fare, as well as the medical examination fee and other things. A young man asked his family for 200 yuan, and then said that he raised a good son. How could I not see it?"

"Besides, you should deal with things on normal days, not during holidays. Our family is not involved in the house matter, and my dad doesn't want a share, so I don't want them to deal with this matter in our house. Otherwise, you can rent a room in the hotel and finish the matter before coming back."

"Let's make it clear, it's not that I won't show any mercy, but we will not get involved in this matter!"

Ji Donglai felt annoyed when he thought about the behavior of Ji Zhong's family members.

He doesn't want to make money, he always wants to compete with others, he takes advantage of his family whether he comes or not, a typical loser. Wang Jue's face changed several times, but he didn't dare to say more.

The pressure from Ji Donglai now is no longer that of the young boy he used to be. He can no longer refute the opponent by relying on his own strength. Now the opponent does not need to look at him with a frown, and he can kill many people in seconds.

Besides, what Ji Dong said made sense. The other party was celebrating the New Year at home, so who would want to get involved in other people’s affairs?
Just like that, after a brief chat with Ji Donglai, Wang Jue hurried out to call his mother. The whole group of people panicked and immediately prepared other plans.

"Dongla, you are different from the people in your family. Xiaojue is already considered outstanding in your family, and she is incomparable to you. I also told her not to get involved in this matter, but she just wouldn't listen!"

"Your uncle is the same. He is always fussing over trivial matters and never knows how to strive for himself..."
