Seeing Hu Yuan and Chen Liqun chatting happily, Wang Shengli was also very pleased.
After all, being able to build a good relationship with him would be beneficial for both Lao Liuzhuang and Hu Yuan.
"Let's walk up a bit further. Once you get to the top, you'll see several small lakes in the valley on the other side of the mountain. These lakes are formed by the convergence of streams and springs from our mountain!"
"Oh? There's such a nice place? Let's go check it out!"
Upon hearing Wang Shengli's words, Li Liqun immediately became interested.
As they walked, Wang Shengli continued, "There used to be a nunnery on the mountaintop here, where many nuns used to practice. But it was later destroyed."
“I went up there a few times when I was a child, but later the old people in the village said that it was haunted, so I didn’t dare to go up there anymore…”
"Haunted? Haha! What are we afraid of? Let's climb up and take a look!"
"Haha! Great! Since the leader isn't worried, we're fine with it too!"
The group chatted and laughed as they walked uphill.
Although it wasn't raining in the mountains, the air was humid and the mountains were lush and green, which made people feel much more relaxed.
They hadn't walked far when they saw the lake below.
"This water is wonderful! I was worried before, but seeing such a good water source, I realize your idea makes perfect sense. It would be amazing if we could get tap water from the mountains!"
Although not an expert in the field, Ma Guoqing still has some knowledge.
Looking at these few puddles of water, he sighed deeply.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Ma, my idea is to build two water towers here, then bring the water up and pipe it to the village."
"Of course, this is just my rough idea. As for how to do it, we'll have to listen to the experts' opinions," Hu Yuan said with a smile.
After he finished speaking, Chen Liqun and Ma Guoqing nodded in deep agreement.
"Xiao Hu, your idea is great! With such a good water source, as long as we can build a water tower and install water pipes, it will be easy to carry out tap water renovation!" Ma Guoqing agreed with Hu Yuan's idea.
"That's great! Xiao Hu, as long as you have ideas and drive, I believe you can succeed at anything! You're really good!" Chen Liqun also praised.
The group of people took a stroll around the mountain, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
It wasn't until dusk that the group reluctantly descended the mountain.
"Old Ma, when you get back, send experts over. Have them thoroughly survey Old Liuzhuang. I believe this successful case will be a valuable reference for the water supply system upgrades in other parts of our county!"
As they came down from the mountain, Chen Liqun immediately gave instructions to Ma Guoqing.
"Mr. Chen, don't worry, I'll have someone come over as soon as I get back."
"By the way, Village Chief Wang, how many households are there in your village?" Ma Guoqing suddenly asked Wang Shengli.
"There are a total of 700 households, with 1,354 people." Wang Shengli was naturally very familiar with the situation in his home.
"Okay! It's good that you have the number of households. I'll go back and discuss it with the experts."
As soon as they arrived in the village, they saw the truck selling laundry detergent returning.
Chen Liqun was very curious as he watched the clouds of dust kicked up by the truck.
"Old Wang, are there any transport workers in your village?"
"In the transportation business? No, I don't know any?" Wang Shengli asked, somewhat bewildered.
Chen Liqun pointed to several large trucks approaching from afar.
Oh! You mean those?
Wang Shengli suddenly realized, and then laughed loudly, "Those are the trucks that Hu Yuan sent out to sell laundry detergent. They're starting to come back now!"
"Selling laundry detergent?"
Chen Liqun was taken aback at first, then turned his gaze to Hu Yuan.
"Xiao Hu, you really are..."
For a moment, Chen Liqun didn't know how to describe his feelings.
Trucks carrying laundry detergent returned to the village one after another.
The villagers who went out to sell laundry detergent all came to the threshing ground at the village entrance on their own initiative, and everyone's face showed joy, like soldiers after a great victory.
They were in high spirits and showed no sign of embarrassment at having patched clothes.
"Boss Hu, we're back!"
"God of Wealth, hurry up and collect the money! We can't wait!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up and count the money, we're waiting to go home for dinner..."
Upon seeing Hu Yuan appear, the crowd immediately became restless and began shouting at him.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think..."
"You go ahead and get busy, I'll wait for you." Chen Liqun smiled at Hu Yuan, indicating that he didn't need to worry about him.
Hu Yuan and Wang Lun then began the last task of the day: collecting money.
While they were collecting the money, Chen Liqun, Ma Guoqing, and Wang Shengli were watching from the sidelines.
Trucks kept returning, and stacks of loose change were being counted.
Seeing the large bulge in Hu Yuan's hands, Chen Liqun and the others were once again shocked.
It wasn't because Hu Yuan received a lot of money, but because of the calm expressions on Hu Yuan and his companions' faces, as if the matter was commonplace and nothing out of the ordinary.
"Village Chief Wang, this... can they really collect this much money every day?" Chen Liqun couldn't contain his astonishment and asked Wang Shengli.
Wang Shengli smiled and nodded, "That's pretty normal, but we sent out more people today than before, so we've collected more money than before."
"Oh, I see!" Chen Liqun nodded.
This time, 700 people were sent out, and it took more than an hour to complete the money collection.
After counting the money, many people, including Wang Lun, were stunned.
"Brother-in-law, this...this..."
"What's wrong? Why are you so agitated? Is it really necessary?"
"Five hundred tons of laundry detergent, all sold out! Not a single bag left!" Wang Lun nearly swallowed his tongue when he said this number.
A daily sales volume of 500 tons would shock anyone who heard that.
Actually, that's not the most important thing. The key is that many groups have reported that many villages are complaining that there is not enough laundry detergent to sell.
This situation shows that Hu Yuan's previous estimate was too low, and the market potential was much greater than he thought.
"How much money did you collect in total?" Hu Yuan asked the crucial question.
"One million eight hundred thousand in cash, not a penny less!" Wang Lun stared intently at the bags and said, enunciating each word clearly.
Upon hearing this number, Hu Yuan also laughed.
One hundred and eighty-five, after deducting costs and bonuses for everyone, is almost a million a day, a figure that greatly exceeded his expectations.
Let alone myself in my past life, even among many successful people in their past lives, how many could earn millions a day?
At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind.
Choosing the right path is more important than hard work!
