For Wang Yun and the others, they were no longer working for the sake of money and power. Therefore, he and P5092 did not ask Ren Xiaosu for anything.
Without an official position or a salary, the two of them were basically fighting for the pure vision of a prosperous Northwest.
Of course, they also knew very well that the Northwest would not leave them hanging forever. Commander Zhang, who was at Fortress 178, probably wanted to see what Young Marshal and his team could do.
When Stronghold 144's reforms began to show results, everything would fall into place.
Right now, Wang Yun and the others were scattered all over the place and carrying out their own tasks. Although there was no one supervising them, they were all carrying out their work with great efficiency.
Of course, it was not like they did not have any interactions with each other. For example, when Wang Yun was mapping the area yesterday, he even saw Wang Yuchi and the others leading Xun Yeyu, the little fatty, in pursuit of the bandits in the wilderness.
At that time, Wang Yun and the others were still using the instruments to confirm the mapping data when they saw a large group of people rushing past. Wang Yuchi and the others only had time to say goodbye to Wang Yun before continuing their pursuit.
Wang Yun did not intervene either. Both parties were so calm as if they were just having a meal and drinking.
The Northwest was too big, so there would always be some bandits still in hiding. It was not easy to find them either.
These bandits were also in a very awkward situation. The defense of the Northwest was very stable now, so it was easy for them to die if they came out to rob others. However, they were not willing to work honestly to support their families.
These people were already used to reaping without sowing. Now that they were asked to prosper in the Northwest, they would definitely not be used to it.
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu could only use Xun Yeyu's power to dig them all out. They could either prosper in the Northwest or die. In any case, these were the only two options.
While Wang Yun and the others were busy, Wang Fugui's Yun Su Company also shifted its focus.
The business model of the Northwest had gradually matured, so most of the time, Wang Fugui didn't need to personally keep an eye on it. Before Ren Xiaosu arrived, what he had to do every day was to wait for his subordinates to send the financial statements to him. Then, he would decide on some issues regarding the general direction of the company.
But now, some of Yun Su's higher-ups could not even find Wang Fugui. Some people from the Northwest Chamber of Commerce wanted to look for Wang Fugui to help solve the problem, but the answer they got was that President Wang had gone outside the stronghold. If they wanted to find him, they would have to go more than 70 kilometers west of the stronghold, where a new construction site had been opened up.
Now, Yun Su's documents had to be sent 70 kilometers away for approval. President Wang was already stationed there.
At first, the businessmen from the Northwest Chamber of Commerce thought they would just have to wait for President Wang to return. But on the same night, Wang Fugui suddenly returned to the stronghold and sent out invitations to various local trading companies in the Northwest to have dinner together.
These members of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce were considered influential businessmen in the Northwest. Under normal circumstances, they would choose to eat at very high-end places in the stronghold.
But this time, the place Wang Fugui treated everyone to dinner was actually a small roadside restaurant.
The bosses were a little puzzled. "President Wang, what's going on? Why are you eating at a place like this? Did you encounter some difficulties? Don't worry, we're here. "
Wang Fugui sighed and said, "To be honest, I, Wang Fugui, have indeed encountered some difficulties."
Everyone looked at one another. Yun Su was currently a leading enterprise in the Northwest, so what difficulties could they possibly encounter? Didn't they still have the Young Marshal to protect them?
Wang Fugui said, "You've all heard, right? After the Young Marshal returned to the Northwest, he wants to implement reforms to solve our current food shortage problem."
Everyone listened carefully.
Wang Fugui sighed and said, "But how can it be that easy to solve the problem? Building a water conservancy project is a big project. All of you are leaders in the industry, so you know very well how expensive it is. But money is not the most important thing. What's more important is that the equipment is not easy to find.
"As you all know, there are very few excavating equipment and cranes in the Northwest to begin with. Now that we want to gather all of them together to build a water conservancy project, it's really not easy to find them. This matter has made the Young Marshal very anxious. Look, even the boss is so anxious, so how can I, as a manager, still be in the mood to eat? " Wang Fugui said, "So let's just make do and eat here. I still have to help the Young Marshal find the equipment after I finish eating here."
The bosses in the Northwest looked at one another. They thought to themselves, 'How is this treating everyone to a meal? It's obviously Wang Fugui, that old fox, coming to look for them on behalf of the Young Marshal.'
One of them asked, "The Northwest Army's engineering and construction capabilities are also very strong. Why don't you let the Northwest Army build a water conservancy project?"
Wang Fugui's eyes drooped as he drank his tea and said, "The Young Marshal has just returned to the Northwest, and he's already mobilizing the Northwest Army. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to convince the public. And didn't I just say that the Northwest Army doesn't have enough engineering equipment? "
A businessman sighed in his heart, but he could only cater to Wang Fugui and asked, "I wonder if there's anything we can do to help?"
Wang Fugui hesitated and said, "I don't think that's a good idea. Everyone is so busy, how can we disturb everyone for such a small matter?"
"What's wrong with that?" The businessman smiled warmly and said, "It's our duty to contribute to the construction of the water conservancy project!"
On the surface, it sounded nice, but everyone was already cursing in their hearts. It seemed that Wang Fugui's banquet tonight was also for a reason. They all had a common characteristic, and that was that they all had large engineering companies under their names.
In other words, all the engineering equipment that the Young Marshal needed was basically in their hands …
If they still didn't understand what was going on, they would be too unreasonable.
A businessman said with his heart bleeding, "I wonder how we can help the Young Marshal?"
Wang Fugui smiled and said, "See, the water conservancy project is indeed the most important thing. Otherwise, if there's a food shortage, we won't even have food to eat. Why don't all of you stop the construction projects you're building for now and focus everyone's efforts on solving the water conservancy project first? What do you all think? Of course, the Young Marshal won't mistreat everyone. Since you're the contractors, he definitely won't make you lose money. "
Everyone understood what Wang Fugui meant. By not making them lose money, he meant that they would be participating in the construction of the Northwest at a cost price. They would not lose money, but they could forget about making money.
The shortage of water resources and instability in the Northwest were an objective reality. There was only a tributary of the Yellow River 70 kilometers away from Stronghold 144 that had enough flow to irrigate the farmland. Therefore, Ren Xiaosu had to solve the big problem of how to get this river to cover the reclaimed area of Stronghold 144.
If he did not solve this problem, the reclamation would have been a waste.
As he spoke, Wang Fugui got his assistant to bring over a dozen documents. Then he said with a smile, "I see that everyone is very enthusiastic about participating in the construction of the Northwest. Why don't we sign this letter of intent first before we start the banquet?"
