They discovered that the earthen walls were completely unable to withstand the impact of the water flow in the face of such heavy rain.
It's best to lay a good foundation and build a brick wall for safety.
Otherwise, if another heavy rain like this happens, and we're not prepared, we might be buried underneath.
Wang Tianxiao estimated that the number of such people was not small, especially when some people in the village started building brick walls and brick houses, which naturally influenced others.
People's competitive spirit is the root of their performance.
The core base.
At that time, both types of construction materials will inevitably see even greater sales volumes.
"Old Wang, I'm truly impressed. When you first mentioned it, I didn't doubt you, but I just couldn't understand why you were so fixated on that dilapidated brick factory. You're amazing! If I didn't know you were a real person, I would have thought you were a god. Tell me, how could you guess so accurately?"
Wang Tianxiao smiled faintly when he heard him say that.
"If I could have guessed it, I wouldn't have hurt so many people. I just felt that as people's living standards improve, houses will definitely need to be transformed, so I asked you to find a way to deal with the brick and tile factory. It just so happens that this kind of thing happened."
Wang Tianxiao casually brushed it off.
Since I can't explain it clearly anyway, I might as well not say anything.
Moreover, if he previously thought this disaster was a chance to turn his life around, now that it has actually happened, he feels more than just joy at the prospect of an opportunity.
More than anything, it's a complex emotion.
Will I find myself unconsciously taking on the misfortunes of many people, or will I feel that I didn't do enough or wasn't resolute enough back then?
"This flood has covered a large area, reportedly affecting several surrounding counties and cities. However, other places are not like ours, where there are many pit-dwelling courtyards. In the past few days, many people have come to the two factories to inquire about prices, so it seems that the demand is very high."
"This is exactly what I expected. We've prepared everything and are just waiting for the opportunity. Now is the perfect opportunity."
“Yes, the factory is producing non-stop, but if we sell directly, the inventory we’ve accumulated won’t last long. Wuping even came to ask me today if we should raise the price to offset the increased demand for supply.”
Wang Tianxiao shook his head.
"Not only can't we add more, but it's also cheaper than before."
“Ah…” Zhang Wenyuan looked at him in confusion, “I can understand not adding prices, after all, I don’t want to make money off refugees like this. But what’s with the price reduction? We’re a business, not a charity. We make money now, but during the off-season, we’ll face a low point in profits, and we might even end up in debt.”
“Mr. Zhang, if you want to do business, you need to have a bigger vision. I suggest you acquire brick and tile factories and prefabrication yards, and also build an engineering construction team and establish a company. The purpose is not to make money off these disaster-stricken people. I have a bigger goal.”
Wang Tianxiao looked out the window and said calmly.
"Oh, what do you mean by a bigger goal?"
"It's this city."
Wang Tianxiao pointed outside and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think the future of this city will look like?"
"There might be more people, more houses, and wider streets, right?"
Zhang Wenyuan stood beside Wang Tianxiao, also looking outside, but his vision was limited by the times and he could not see very far.
What he said was like someone asking a farmer what the emperor ate every day, and the farmer would say he ate ten steamed buns.
People say that he was the emperor.
The farmer would say, "Yes, that's why we let him eat ten steamed buns."
Limited by their limited perspective, farmers could not imagine the various delicacies that emperors ate.
Farmers believe that being able to eat a full bowl of white flour buns every day is the greatest happiness in the world. So, His Majesty the Emperor must not only be unable to eat buns every day, but he can also eat ten of them.
They only accumulate knowledge based on what they already know and what they don't understand.
But what is unimaginable is something else entirely.
In Zhang Wenyuan's eyes, Qingcheng was actually just a renovation and an overlay of the dilapidated city in front of him.
He simply couldn't have foreseen that cities would undergo a qualitative leap in the future process of urbanization.
Wang Tianxiao smiled slightly.
"Your vision is too narrow."
"Where is it small? Then please tell me, Master Wang, what do you think will happen to Qingcheng in twenty years?"
"If you ask me, in the future, not only Qingcheng, but all cities will be filled with high-rise buildings. At that time, the one- or two-story bungalows in front of you will be demolished and will no longer exist. They will be replaced by high-rise buildings with more than ten or even dozens of stories."
Zhang Wenyuan gasped. He recalled the state of other people when he was in Hong Kong. Was this little Qingcheng going to become like that too?
It's simply unimaginable.
"Why would you think that? Our Qingcheng is different from those big cities. It shouldn't need to be built like that."
“Of course we need to,” Wang Tianxiao said casually. “You’ve studied economics, right? Think about it. Now that we’ve subcontracted the work to individual households, haven’t people’s enthusiasm increased, and therefore labor productivity has also improved?”
"Yes, that's right. Before, it didn't matter how much you did, but now everyone is working for themselves, so of course people are much more motivated and the output is much higher."
"That's right, they're growing more and more things, what are they going to do with all the cloth they have?"
"Of course we'll put it out to sell."
