第49章 核!合!和!(35)

75.Huang was so thrilled that he was talkative with quite a lot of gesture,however,Cai interrupted him in a very moderate voice,"In fact,since the very beginning of our contest,I never underestimated you because I know you had your secret weapon —— your son,Huang Precious who graduated from the engineering and technology university in the capital of the province.Oh no,actually I should call Huang Jiancheng,jian means achievement; Cheng means success." "You forget you give him the name,Precious." added Huang.Cai didn’t give his opponent a damn,continuing,"Whatever name,anyhow,it is your son,not mine.My son graduated from agriculture,majoring in economic forest.Now our contest is to build houses rather than plant trees.I know I will not get better of it.Supposing I have a son like Precious,you just wait to be defeated this time." Hearing this,Huang snapped,"You really have a good dream.You want to have all the good things even including my son,old egg …" Facing Huang’s offence,Cai raised his voice,"Alas,stop it.Don’t talk rubbish.Listen to me,seriously I will tell you the truth.When I entrusted you son,Huang Jiancheng to make the design drawing,I had made a detailed plan for the contest.First,I invited uncle-in-law to make an economical assignment.Second,I also invited Wang Hong,the captain of the concrete team and also my friend,to be our head workers.Third,the man that you saw from Wenxian county…" Cai stop to say,"To my surprise,you belittle me.After your ten days of old silly work,you began to thinking about knowing about me.At that time,we computed that if you continued your old traditional way for one another month,you would fail definitely.I bet I will surpass you 20 days at least.Anyway,your son is incredible,really incredible ..." Hearing this,Huang was stimulated again and crowed,"To be frank,when I saw your formation: electrical pressure welding,assembly line as well as planned target etc.I was shocked.When I went home and your situation,Caixia was frightened to cry.She said,"Father,if we are surpassed over 20 days,how can we be subjected to the shame?That night,Caixia together with me rode the motor tricycle to the city to turn to my son who lectured me for one night.You know that my cud sang highly of you and called your style was scientific management or assembly line.He told me you were progressing with time while I still went the old rustic way that used to build pig’s or chicken’s houses.He even said that it was really a shame on me.On that occasion,he didn’t care about my face.Son-in-law,Caixia couldn’t even stop his serious fucking criticism.But you,old geezer,don’t crow.To tell you the truth,although he criticized me,as my son after all he made a counter-strategy according to my report,declaring that if I carried it out,I could bounce back.In addition to the plan,from his city construction corporation,he recruited a project manager,a construction master and an eminent pasting expert.Look,we had caught up with you.It is draw now,isn’t it?" "No,the key point is that your son borrowed you electric hoists which lifted materials far much faster than men so that you could improve the working efficiency.In fact,I once thought about buying several ones,but one electric hoist would cost us thousands of yuan.Considering that we can save the money and more importantly,this is a friendship contest,I didn’t allow my team to buy the stuff." said Cai confidently.Huang was astounded and asked,"Unexpectedly,you have known it.Then——then why not strive for it?Why not struggle to hold your advantage?" "Alas ——!" sighed Cai and spoke out,"To hold the advantage?With what?With money.You know,how can I use money for it?Oh Money,money,money,we do need in every fields after the heavy earthquake.Yes,money is good stuff,so we should try to save it,even a penny.Use it to the key point.Besides the contest,there are so many other ones between you and me: pork production expansion,autumn crop planting,the second taking-off scheme etc.We will use...oh,no.This contest doesn’t end.Don’t use any excuse to escape.As the old saying goes,to reap and then store the wheat is two things one by one.Don’t get mixed up.Otherwise,you can beat the drum and gong to surrender toward all the villagers." Huang was overwhelmed to rant and rave...At the time,the blowing horns were heard,and after a while there is coming Caixia’s voice,"Father,Nanhua Furniture factory has transported the doors,15 of ours,15 of Uncle Cai’s." During the voice,Cai took the teacup to have a deep drink and then shouted to Huang,"Now stop drinking and don’t nagging.Let’s go back to install the doors.This is defining moment.Oh,I’d like to tell one thing before I left.Do you remember the man that I was intending to introduce to you but you rejected and went away?Alright,again I will tell you that he is a carpenter of Wenxian county,who is called Master Mao.Here,we have a saying on building houses.I wander if you know about a popular phrase.Listen,"Carpenters in Wenxian,plasterers in Dangchang and builder in Chengxian" Huang threw a cold smile,"Everyone knows it; it isn’t rare." Seeing Huang’s looks,Cai turned to sneer,"To tell you the truth,Master Mao is unremarkable,second to none in Longnan city through his decades of capability.You know his work is perfect:The door frameworks are stable,the plumb lines are precise and it is not out of shape at all from laying the door bricks to installing the door frameworks and doors.The day before yesterday,the window installation has proven him.But——" Cai prolonged his voice deliberately,"Your team all use the aluminum alloy windows while the doors are wood ..." Cai didn’t finish his words when Huang snapped,"You are old foxy geezer!" Shortly,Huang opened the door and bolted out of the office.Shedding the sweater on his face with his sleeve and running along,he cried,"Caixia,phone Jiancheng right now...ask him what about the technology of installing door framework.Phone Jiancheng right now..." Soon Caixia responded from a far distance,"Father,Jiancheng said you should tell him about the door framework earlier because if carpenters aren’t well qualified,the door frameworks will be out of shape and if so,the doors can’t be installed and even probably will smash the frameworks to reinstall." Hearing this,Huang halted his steps and turned to Cai to point to him fiercely,but didn’t say anything.After a while,he made a deep sigh,"Alas ——",patted his thigh heavily and turned to shuffle into the village.Seeing this,Cai sneered and locked his office,crossed his hands in the back and walked home confidently.
