Chapter 11 Breaking the Deadlock
“Dad, don’t worry. Since I dared to take it from him, I have a way to deal with him.”
"What? Son, you have a way?" Qin Xianglan was overjoyed.
Her husband's worried expression brought her back to her senses from her joy.
She felt that her husband was right. His son had hit his son and taken Wang Jianguo's things. He had suffered such a great loss, how could he let it go?
"Hey, Mom and Dad, didn't I just say that as long as he dares to take it from me, I have a way to deal with him?"
By this time, everyone had arrived outside Zhang Dong's house.
"Boom boom boom——"
A series of footsteps sounded, and a villager ran over from a distance. It was Lin Dachun, Zhang Dong's childhood friend.
On his way back, Lin Dachun went home once, but now he ran over looking completely panicked.
"Zhang Dong, don't be too happy yet. You may have fallen for that old bastard Wang Jianguo's trick."
Lin Dachun ran breathlessly to Zhang Dong's side and suddenly said these words, which filled Qin Xianglan with worry.
"Dachun, have you heard some bad news about Zhangdong?"
Lin Dachun nodded urgently: "That's right. I just heard from other villagers that Wang Jianguo has already declared that no one can help Zhang Dong mine."
"What? Are you serious?"
Worried about her son, Qin Xianglan grabbed Lin Dachun's hand.
"Of course it's true. Otherwise, go ask the other villagers."
The crowd, who had just been overjoyed, were instantly stunned.
Zhang Yaoming's face also turned pale: "Son, what did I just say? That Wang Jianguo is a cunning old fox. You forced him to hand over the mineral resources, so he used this insidious method to deal with you."
"To put it bluntly, this is our dead end. Once he spreads the word, who among the villagers will dare to help you develop the mines?"
“Without miners, this mine is a waste mine and cannot generate any economic benefits.” Zhang Guangyao chimed in, “In fact, it’s not just the lack of miners that’s the problem; there are also more important issues, such as technological development, which are also crucial.”
Tang Guo's father, Tang Deming, stood to the side, his face full of anxiety: "Zhang Laosan, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly, what exactly happened?"
Zhang Guangyao then explained: "As everyone knows, mining is not as simple as digging out ore. It also requires corresponding technical support, such as various exploration personnel, testing personnel, and all kinds of technical personnel."
"Without the help of these people, we are just a bunch of illiterate commoners. To put it bluntly, even if you were given a pile of ore, you would think it was just a pile of waste rocks."
Tang Demin nodded thoughtfully, "What you said is indeed true. I was wondering why that bastard would be so kind. It turns out he was waiting here."
In a short time, everyone plummeted from the clouds to the mud. The joyful atmosphere was gone, and all eyes turned to Zhang Dong.
Seeing the villagers' utterly disappointed expressions, Zhang Dong burst into laughter.
"Don't worry, everyone. Now that we've got the mine, if there are any difficulties, we can just overcome them."
“Son, you make it sound so simple. I believe that as long as Wang Jianguo spreads this word, no one will dare to help you at your mine.”
"Not to mention that the villagers in this village dare not go mining, even technicians from other places dare not help you with exploration."
The reason Zhang Dong advised everyone not to rush was because in his previous life, he had not only worked in the mines but also learned mining techniques, so this was naturally not a problem for him.
Zhang Dong felt that the biggest challenge at hand was recruiting miners.
But if everyone is intimidated by Wang Jianguo's tyranny and dares not come to work at his mine, that would be a huge problem.
Just now, after his father, Zhang Yaoming, had a bad feeling, Zhang Dong began to consider this problem.
He successfully acquired this promising mineral from Wang Jianguo, and at that moment his joy reached its peak, without considering anything else.
He only realized this when his father poured cold water on his enthusiasm halfway there.
At first, he thought about finding someone to cooperate with to counter the other party's tactics.
After all, for a mine to go into production, it needs to purchase some necessary mining equipment, and their family is so poor that they simply can't afford it.
Not only could they not come up with the money, they also owed others a huge amount of debt.
This means you'll need to find an investment partner.
This way, you won't have to pay for the initial investments yourself.
But he soon realized that finding an investment partner wasn't so easy.
After all, Woniu Village is only so big, and there aren't many people with money and ability. Everyone is just an ordinary villager who only knows how to sell their labor. In addition, they are quite afraid of Wang Jianguo's powerful influence.
From this perspective, the idea of finding partners to jointly develop this mine is not yet mature.
Since that's the case, let's put this aside for now, find some villagers, and mine some minerals. We can then use the profits for investment.
Feeling everyone's gaze on him, Zhang Dong smiled and spoke.
"Fellow villagers, don't be intimidated by the difficulties we face. My idea is that since I took this mine from him, I want to find some people to mine some of the minerals first."
Upon hearing Zhang Dong express his inner thoughts, Lin Dachun, who was standing next to him, looked worried.
“Zhang Dong, how could you be so foolish? Wang Jianguo has already spread the word that none of the villagers can help you.”
"Under these circumstances, why would you still want to find people in the village to mine?"
Seeing the puzzled look on his childhood friend's face, Zhang Dong burst into laughter.
Now, not only Lin Dachun, but everyone else was also full of doubt.
"My idea is that the people in charge of mining should come from among us. Do you all understand what I mean?" Tang Daqiang suddenly realized.
"Yes, yes, you're right. We are all your staunch supporters and will definitely help you."
Ever since Zhang Dong saved Tang Guo, Tang Daqiang has been very polite to Zhang Dong and extremely grateful to him.
"Yes, yes, Zhang Dong's idea broke the deadlock."
Uncle Zhang Guangyao was beaming with excitement. He never expected that his nephew would be even more awesome than him, not only daring to go head-to-head with Wang Jianguo, but also snatching a piece of meat from his hands.
He's usually a reckless and unruly person, but these past two days, he's been completely won over by his nephew.
Upon hearing Zhang Dong's idea, they quickly jumped out to support it.
Uncle Zhang Guangfei was not to be outdone. He was always full of mischievous ideas, and at this time, he put them to full use.
"Dongzi, my idea is that since Wang Jianguo has resorted to such underhanded tactics, we should find a way to counter his moves."
