Chapter 68: Invite the Coal Factory Boss to a Meeting

When it comes to cars, everyone likes something different.

Some people like blue sky and white clouds, some people like steering wheels.

Some people like round ones, while others like square ones.

Jiang Ning likes things that are angular and domineering, so he bought it according to his own preferences.

I didn't even consider whether Feng Yu would like it.

Although Feng Yu thought the G-Class looked like a matchbox and was not pretty at all, he still happily accepted his gift, got into the car, looked at it, and asked, "How much is this car?"

Jiang Ning lied: "Three hundred thousand."

Feng Yu really didn't know much about cars and had never studied them. She didn't even recognize a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW, so she didn't doubt it. When she heard that it was only 300,000 yuan, she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. That was not bad. If she was bought a car worth millions, she wouldn't dare to drive it to school.

Not long after, Zhang Yulong brought down the car keys.

Jiang Ning started the car and let her drive for a try.

Feng Yu drove the car out of the yard. There were no cars or people on the farm road, so she was quite relaxed. She didn't drive fast and didn't dare to take her eyes off the road. She looked around and said while driving, "This car is quite easy to drive."

Jiang Ning was in the passenger seat and said, "You've got your driver's license. Don't you want to go to Dali? Let's drive there and see the different scenery along the way. Then we can take wedding photos in Dali, so that we don't have time when you start school."

Feng Yu nodded and said, "There's no need to take the photos in Dali. Just go to a wedding studio and take a few photos."

Jiang Ning rubbed his head and said, "This is the only time I'll shoot this in my lifetime, so of course I have to shoot it well. I don't lack that little money."

Feng Yu smiled foolishly, looking very happy.

How many women don’t like romance?

She is just used to being pragmatic and frugal.

Since Jiang Ning has made up his mind, she naturally won't object.

However, traveling with a woman is not as clean and neat as traveling with Jiang Wei. It is impossible to just leave like that.

When going out with Jiang Wei, it doesn’t matter how many people there are, we’ll just go wherever we want.

But when he took Feng Yu and Feng Xue out, he felt that there were too few people and it was not lively enough. After all, they were going out to have fun, how could they have fun with so few people? So he asked his brother Jiang Hua, but Jiang Hua had just returned from the southwest and didn't want to go again.

I want to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas.

Jiang Ning asked his two cousins, and Jiang Wei really wanted to go.

But Jiang Ze didn't want to go because he was busy making money.

Jiang Wei thought about it for a whole night and decided to go.

His life motto is to make money, but also to enjoy life in time.

Finally, after discussing it with my wife, we decided to go out with the whole family.

But he didn't dare drive his Land Rover on such a long journey, for fear that it would break down halfway.

I don't want to drive my wife's CRV. It's too boring.

Jiang Wei called Jiang Ning and said, "I don't want to drive my Land Rover anymore. Can I drive your 570?"

Of course Jiang Ning agreed, it was no big deal.

We made an appointment to set off tomorrow morning and start shopping.

Feng Xue's foot has healed and it does not affect her travel.

Feng Yu had heard from some school teachers who loved traveling about outdoor camping and wanted to try it too. So Jiang Ning bought a tent and tried it at home. He felt that the sleeping bag was not convenient, so he bought several quilts. Anyway, there was a lot of space in the car and not many people.

The back seat was just padded up for Feng Xue to lie down and sleep.

I bought a bunch of random things and almost filled up the trunk.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Ning got up early and went to Building 28 to pick up Feng Yu and Feng Xue.

When he arrived at the gate of the community, Jiang Wei and his family of three were already waiting for him.

Jiang Ning stopped the car, got out and asked Jiang Wei's wife Sun Mei: "Did sister-in-law close the store?"

Sun Mei smiled and nodded: "Yes, my small shop can't afford to hire staff, so I have to close it down."

Jiang Ning said: "That's a big loss."

Sun Mei smiled and said, "Jiang Wei doesn't do his job properly. He runs around all day. Why should I stay in the store all day? Anyway, earning money to support the family is not something a woman like me should worry about. If he is not afraid of starving, then I am not afraid either."

Jiang Ning gave her a thumbs up, thinking that this kind of woman is generous.

Feng Yu and Feng Xue also got out of the car and greeted them.

After a few words, he got back into the car and set off.

Jiang Ning said to Jiang Wei, "You lead the way, drive slowly and don't exceed the speed limit. Feng Yu will drive."

Jiang Wei agreed and led the way out of the community.

Feng Yu drove behind them, looking very nervous.
Jiang Ning sat next to her and kept talking to her to distract her.

But Feng Yu was a novice and couldn't afford to be distracted.

Once on the highway, Jiang Ning no longer dared to be careless.

The speed of cars in urban areas is slow, so even if you scratch someone, the most you will lose is some money.

There won't be any big problems.

It’s different on the highway, the speed is so fast.

It’s fine if nothing happens, but if something happens, there will be no one to worry about.

This was Feng Yu's second time driving on the highway. The first time was when he returned to Bei'an after taking the driving test. Because he was too focused, his palms were sweating after driving for an hour. He felt very tired and said to Jiang Ning, "I don't want to drive anymore. I'm too tired."

Jiang Ning asked her to pull over and then he took over driving.

After getting back on the road, Feng Yu relaxed a little and became energetic again.

Looking at the scenery along the way, I sighed from time to time: "Oh, our northwest is so desolate!"

This is of course nonsense.

The characteristic of the Northwest is desolation. People who have never seen it may find it spectacular when they come here for the first time, but for the locals who have lived here for more than 20 years, they are already fed up with such an environment.

Feng Xue was also very excited. She seldom traveled far and basically stayed at home these years.

It was my first time traveling long distance by car, and I kept staring out the window.

As a result, after watching it for a long time, I felt a little dizzy and nauseous.

Jiang Ning noticed it in the rearview mirror and reminded her: "Sister, don't keep staring outside, or if you do look, try to look far away instead of close up, otherwise your line of sight will be inconsistent with the direction of the car's movement, which will cause brain fatigue and motion sickness."

Feng Xue gestured and stopped looking outside.

Jiang Ning then said to Feng Yu: "It's the same when you're driving. Try to look far away instead of near."

Feng Yu agreed, took a bag of blueberries, picked one and fed it to him.

We set off at 8 o'clock, changing drivers all the way.

I had lunch with a waiter at noon and stayed there for more than half an hour.

Then we set off again, driving through the provincial capital all the way until we reached the mountainous area near Xichuan. The scenery then changed. The desolation of the Northwest gradually faded away, and in the distance the mountains were verdant. The earth was shaded green, no longer the boring ochre color.

My mood instantly improved.

Feng Yu sat up, looked into the distance and said, "The mountains here are so green."

Jiang Ning had never been here before and said, "The environment is much better than Bei'an."

Feng Yu savored it and said, "Even though the mountains are a little greener, it's not that good. People should still live in places with a wide view. It's not good to live in a place like this where you can only see mountains every day and can't see far into the distance."

Jiang Ning agreed: "So Bei'an is still better, but it's a little dry."

Feng Yu said, "The south is better. There are no such big mountains. It's just plains."

After chatting for a few minutes, Jiang Wei called.

"It's getting late. There's a small town ahead. Let's stay there tonight and leave tomorrow!"

"Okay, you make arrangements."

Jiang Ning had no objection, as the more than five years he had spent outside did not count.

He didn't travel very often, the first time being when he went to Shandong with Jiang Wei.

This is the second time he has been to this place before.

It can be said that he was completely in the dark, but Jiang Wei ran no less than five times.

It's good to have an experienced person leading the way, so you don't have to worry too much.

……

Less than three days after Jiang Ning left Bei'an, the ordered equipment arrived.

The factory manager came and spent three days installing and debugging the equipment and started it up smoothly.

Lao Yang arranged a trial production and watched as the useless dry branches were crushed into powder by the crusher, stirred and mixed into a mud-like substance, and finally pressed into a round rod shape by a machine.

Because it was a trial production, the first batch was not large.

We produced a few tons and planned to try it out to see if it works.

The boiler hasn't started yet!
Lao Yang asked the canteen to try it, but the result was not very good.

This thing has too low a calorific value and releases too little heat.

It takes a long time to boil a pot of fire. It is incomparable to gas, let alone coal. It must use the help of a fan to burn a large amount of fuel in a short period of time to release enough heat. Lao Yang thinks it is okay.

It’s just a matter of adding a fan.

That thing is worth only a few dollars and doesn't use much electricity.

As for the high consumption, that is not a problem at all.

I'm worried about where to consume this thing!

In addition to the low calorific value, another problem is that it is too brittle.

It easily breaks into powder when poured over and over.

The manufacturer provides a suggestion that some other materials can be added to improve the adhesion of the fuel.

This way it won't break easily.

Lao Yang had people experiment for a week, mixing in several other raw materials and even trying soil. After many experiments, he finally found a pretty good formula. The things he produced in the end would not break easily even if they fell to the ground.

The old comrade wanted to convert the canteen into a wood-burning stove because the canteen consumed too much gas.

It costs several thousand a month.

Now that the farm has its own fuel, there is no need to use gas.

If you live at home, you should save as much as you can.

The farm’s fuel cannot be consumed, so why use gas?

The cook strongly objected. It was so convenient to use gas. All you had to do was turn on the switch. But using this thing required making a fire. That was extremely troublesome and a decline in productivity. There was already a shortage of manpower, and if they had to use a wood stove, three people would not be able to handle it.

Lao Yang did not act arbitrarily and took the chef's opinion into consideration.

So the plan was shelved.

It's summer now and there's no need to burn the boiler.

But it's not a big deal to produce so much fuel and pile it up on the farm.

No matter how big the boiler on the key farm is, it can't burn so much.

After much thought, Old Yang decided that he should find a way to sell the fuel and generate income.

So I went to the county and asked the relevant departments for help.

No unit would be willing to take care of such thankless tasks.

The old comrade went to find the leader.

The leader gave an order and asked the Coal Bureau to find a solution.

The leader of the Coal Bureau was overwhelmed and after some thought, he asked someone to make a phone call.

Invite a few coal plant owners to a meeting.
