Liu Ziguang couldn't keep things in his mind, so he immediately called back and asked Wang Zhijun, "Zhijun, how much will it cost?"

Wang Zhijun calculated for him: "One dredger costs about 100,000 yuan. If it really needs to be done, one boat is definitely not enough. If two boats cost 100,000 yuan, it will cost 200,000 yuan. The river sand dryer and sorting machine cost nearly 100,000 yuan. , hire at least a dozen workers, rent cement boats, rent dump trucks, and you have to pay some money in advance. It is 500,000 yuan per year, installment payment, 100,000 yuan first, so the upfront cost is at least 500,000 yuan."

"Did you go to the bank to ask about the loan?" Liu Ziguang reminded.

"I went to the county agricultural bank and asked, they don't give loans at all, unless there is a mortgage guarantee, but we are poor and white, what's worth it, and people said, don't lend such a large amount to private individuals, only to corporate legal persons, what a joke, we If you have 500,000 yuan to register a company, why would you need a loan?"

It seems that the road of bank loans is not going to work, five hundred thousand, although it is not a big amount in Liu Ziguang's opinion, but after all, this life is not as good as it used to be, a penny is hard for a hero, and he got five hundred thousand in a short time , is really difficult.

Hearing Liu Ziguang's silence, Wang Zhijun said again: "The contract money in the village must be paid. I have used the money for building the house, but it is still not enough. The family is too poor. I really have no choice, brother Guang. "

In order to set up a battlefield, he stopped work on all the houses he was building. Wang Zhijun was willing to go all out, but Liu Ziguang thought about it and immediately said: "Zhijun, the house at home cannot be stopped. The villagers are watching. If you stop the house After it's built, people will definitely think that we don't have enough money, so they won't trust us, you continue to build the house, and I'll figure out a way with the money."

Putting down the phone, Liu Ziguang thought for a while, his brothers are all poor, they ca n't count on it at all, Li Jianguo's sister-in-law's cancer is a bottomless pit, she can't take care of herself, how can she have spare money, although he is kind to Scar, but he has no other contacts , Li Jianguo didn't ask him for anything, let alone himself, so this road didn't work.

After much deliberation, Liu Ziguang still picked up the phone and dialed his own number. "Mom, you are at home. I want to start some business with my friends. Please lend me some money."

When she heard that her son was going to start a business, the mother was very enthusiastic: "Okay, mom will sponsor you, is three thousand yuan enough?"

Liu Ziguang was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "Mom, we want to do big business, at least hundreds of thousands."

"Oh, that's not good. You haven't done business. What should you do if you are cheated? Don't dare to mess with these things."

Liu Ziguang hung up the phone helplessly. My mother was old-fashioned and saved some money from food and money. Of course, she was reluctant to take risks. In her mind, doing business was to go to the wholesale market to buy hundreds of pairs of socks to sell on the street stalls, or to sell them at the night market. Pushing a tricycle to sell roast sausages has no concept of a business like sand dredging, so it doesn't make sense.

There was no other way, so he called Bei Xiaoshuai again. Bei Xiaoshuai was silent for a moment and said, "Brother, don't worry, I'll think of a way."

An hour later, Bei Xiaoshuai called back: "Brother, I have prepared 50,000 yuan for you, come home to get it at noon."

At noon, Liu Ziguang rode his bicycle back home. When he entered the house, he found his parents sitting seriously on both sides of the Eight Immortals table with a newspaper package on the table.

"This is..." Liu Ziguang doubted. "Xiaoguang, your mother told me this morning. I thought about it carefully. You are too old. If you don't start a business and become famous, it will be too late. Since you have this idea, parents have no reason not to support it. Here There is 30,000 yuan, which is our family's wealth, you can take it."

As he said, Dad opened the newspaper bag, revealing three bundles of banknotes neatly inside.

For a while, Liu Ziguang felt that his face had a fever and his nose was a little sore. Eight years ago, his parents gave him 20,000 yuan of their life savings in the same way to speculate in stocks. In the end, they lost everything within a few months. Now he said To do business, parents once again took out their savings from their teeth without hesitation. Parents will always be the most solid support for their children.

"Xiaoguang, you take the 30,000 yuan. Your dad and I have low wages. You can't earn a few wages even if you work late in the morning. This is the money for you to buy a house. You have to be careful..." Mom started talking again. Long-winded, but Liu Ziguang didn't show any impatience. He listened carefully and nodded from time to time: "Mom, I see."

There was a knock on the door, and Liu Ziguang turned around and called out to come in. A head with dyed yellow hair came in. It was Xiaoshuai Bei, who also had a newspaper bag in his hand. Well, then unwrapped the newspaper bag and said triumphantly, "50,000 yuan, let's count it."

Liu Ziguang wondered how Bei Xiaoshuai, a poor man who cried all day long, could come up with so much money, but now that he was anxious to spend the money, he couldn't care about so much, so he took out a cigarette and threw it to Bei Xiaoshuai: "Okay Xiaoshuai, you have helped my brother a lot."

"Small meaning, talk to me if you have something to do." Bei Xiaoshuai lit his cigarette with a smug expression on his face.

"Bang bang" the door of Liu's house was knocked again, and two people rushed in without waiting for a response . Xiaoshuai's mother also had an angry look on her face.

Looking at Bei Xiaoshuai again, his face turned pale, and Liu Ziguang immediately understood what happened.

"You little prodigal, you actually stole money from the family, see if I can't beat you to death!" Uncle Bei waved a feather duster and shouted sternly.

"Xiaoshuai, did you take the passbook at home? Tell mom quickly, don't make your dad angry." Bei Xiaoshuai's mother tried to persuade her son while holding her husband.

"So what if I took it? Isn't your money mine? I need it urgently, really." Bei Xiaoshuai blushed anxiously, jumping up and down and shouting.

"Don't dare to speak hard, see if I can't beat you to death!" Uncle Bei held up the feather duster, but he couldn't beat him. No wonder, since he was a child, he was reluctant to beat his son ruthlessly. Otherwise, Xiaoshuai Bei wouldn't have fallen This is how it is today.

Bei Xiaoshuai's mother had already found the money on the table and understood what was going on. She took her husband and said to Liu's father, "Master, this money is our savings for more than ten years. We plan to buy a house for our children and get married." It's useful, last time his aunt wanted to buy a car to borrow money, but we didn't give it."

Both parents cast their eyes on Liu Ziguang, Liu Ziguang didn't say a word, took the 50,000 yuan and handed it to Old Bei, explaining: "I want to do some business and ask my brothers to raise money, but I don't know that Xiaoshuai is stealing money." Take the money from the family to buy a house, I can't take this money, uncle, take it back."

Uncle Bei said: "Xiaoguang, it's not that uncle doesn't want to lend you money, it's really difficult. "

Liu Ziguang nodded to express his understanding, but Bei Xiaoshuai blushed and shouted: "Old man, if you dare to take the money back today, I will sever the father-son relationship with you."

Uncle Bei was so angry that he almost lost his temper, but he had nothing to do with this stubborn son. He had 50,000 yuan in his hand.

With a "snap", Liu Ziguang gave Bei Xiaoshuai a slap in the face: "How do you talk, can you talk like this with your parents! You still don't make an apology!"

Then Bei Xiaoshuai's parents watched in astonishment as their usually rebellious son obediently lowered his yellow-haired head, and said in a low voice, "Mom and Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn't have taken money from the family."

Surprisingly, my son has become so obedient. It's true that the wicked will be punished by the wicked. One thing is one thing. Uncle Bei gritted his teeth, took out 10,000 yuan and said, " Uncle is not a careless person." , the 10,000 yuan will be considered as our investment for Xiaoshuai, Xiaoguang, you must take it."

Liu Ziguang didn't lie, he took it on the spot, picked up a brush and wrote the IOU and handed it to Old Uncle Bei, saying, "Thank you, Uncle Bei."

In this way, Bei Xiaoshuai could live with his face, and his face softened a lot.

Bei Xiaoshuai's family left, Liu Ziguang looked at the 40,000 yuan on the table, and was still distressed, it was still far away, he couldn't even buy half a sand dredger.

The door was knocked again, Liu Ziguang thought it was Xiaoshuai Bei who came back, and said angrily, " Have you been beaten enough?"

"Hee hee, do you dare to beat me up?" With a voice like a yellow warbler, it was Fang Fei who came, carrying a backpack, wearing jeans and sneakers, and dressed like a schoolgirl.

"Hey, Fang Fei, why are you here?" Liu Ziguang stood up and inadvertently pushed the money on the table into the corner.

"Why can't I come? I'm off work today, so I just came to see uncle and aunt. Do you think it's yours? Hmph." Fang Fei pouted with her hands behind her back and said coquettishly.

"Oh, Xiao Fang is here, auntie will pour water for you." When the mother saw her future daughter-in-law, she smiled, picked up the thermos and poured a glass of water, and signaled to Dad with a wink. Dad understood, stood up and said: "By the way, I'm going out to buy a newspaper."

"It's time for me to go out and buy food." Mom said.

The old couple pretended to hide, vacated the room for their son and Fang Fei, walked out of the courtyard, looked back at the low courtyard, and the father sighed and said, " When will the demolition be possible? The house is enough for the children to have a place to get married."

"Wait, I heard it's coming soon, I've survived for more than ten years, are there still a few years left?" Mom said.

...

In the room, Fang Fei smiled and pointed at Liu Ziguang and said, "What good things are you hiding? Don't let me see them."

Liu Ziguang said with a sneer: "It's not hidden, it's just tens of thousands of dollars, which my family scraped together for my business."

"Is that enough? I still have a card to swipe here." Fang Fei asked with wide eyes.

"You just started working, so how much money do you have? Don't worry about it." Liu Ziguang said indifferently. " Huh, I heard it at the door just now. You borrowed money everywhere but didn't think of me. I was really mad at me. Now you underestimate me. My card is very powerful, and you can get 50,000 in cash."

Hey, overdraft fifty thousand in cash, what a high-end card that must be, Liu Ziguang stared at Fang Fei with wide eyes, Fang Fei thought he was suspicious, so she took out a China Merchants Bank Platinum Card from her wallet and waved it in front of his eyes with.

But Liu Ziguang still shook his head and said, "50,000 is not enough. My business needs at least 500,000 in cash."

"500,000..." Fang Fei covered her mouth exaggeratedly.
