Chapter 256: Build Roads First if You Want to Get Rich? No Money!

The fur of the wolfdog brothers and Gray Fang was wet. When you touch it with your hand, you can feel a little warm. It's not their body temperature, but the temperature of the water.

The Qinling Mountains are rich in water. Even in winter, there are many unfrozen streams. Moreover, after the Chinese New Year, the temperature gradually rises, and the ice and snow melt in many places. It is normal to have flowing water in the mountains.

But "warm water" is not right!

Su Ming subconsciously looked up at the top of the Huangyan slope. Gray Fang and the others just came down from the top of the slope. The gurgling water flows down from the top of the slope, which means that the water source is above the slope.

"Let's go up and take a look!"

Su Ming waved his hand without hesitation, and took Su Meng and the other two to climb up along the slope. Although there was water on the slope, there were many places to rest. It didn't take much effort to climb to the top.

In front of me, there are more than a dozen large and small pools. The largest one is about ten square meters, and the smallest one is only about two square meters. The shapes are not very regular, as if there are many pits on the ground out of thin air. The pool seems to be connected to the underground water source, and water keeps overflowing, flowing down the slope of Huangshi Rock on one side.

When I walked up to it, I saw that the pool was misty and a warm feeling came over me.

"Huh? It's a hot spring?" Su Ming bent down and tried the water with his hand. It was about 30 degrees.

Is my luck really too good? Even Su Ming himself was a little unbelievable. He found a pure natural wild hot spring spot just by looking around? Is it possible that the word "protagonist" is engraved on my face, and the halo of the pig's feet is blinding everyone's dog eyes?

Before he could feel lucky for his "good luck", the macaques and gibbons who were originally at the bottom of the sloping wall also followed. The gibbons saw the hot springs and stood cautiously by the water, using their long arms to scoop up water from the pool, looking very curious.

The macaques, led by the old monkey king, climbed up a tree next to the largest hot spring, followed a thick branch, came to the top of the hot spring, and then jumped into the water one by one like divers.

Like dogs, monkeys like to play in the water. A small artificial lake was built in the monkey mountain for monkeys to play and cool down. After the macaques jumped into the hot spring, they squeaked and called, and swam around on the water. The golden monkey and Xiaokong also used their claws to paddle the water and had a water fight.

"Oh, I understand. It's not my luck at all!"

Seeing this scene, Su Ming suddenly realized that his luck had nothing to do with the hot springs he encountered. The hot spring in front of him was a Feng Shui treasure land specially found by the old monkey king. He asked him to find a place suitable for brewing wine. In fact, there are many remote places in the Qinling Mountains, and there are countless old trees. But the old monkey king chose this place because there is such a hot spring on the slope of Huangshi. In the winter, they can take a bath in the hot springs after brewing wine, satisfying their nature of playing with water.

If you say that you can encounter wild hot springs when you go out casually, it is indeed too exaggerated; but the old monkey king led a group of monkeys and searched in the mountains for a month to find this good place, which is understandable.

"You really know how to abuse your power for personal gain."

The gibbons encountered a strange thing called "hot spring" for the first time. At first, they didn't dare to go into the water, but after seeing the macaques having fun, they hesitated a little and gathered at another hot spring, shouting into the water, as if discussing whether to go in too?

The relatively thin macaques dared to go into the water. If the gibbons, who looked stronger, didn't go in at this time, wouldn't they look too cowardly?

Several strong macaques saw this scene, and they really grinned at the gibbons in their hands, squeaked and shouted, making all kinds of ferocious facial expressions, despising them for being timid.

The macaques provoked them, and the gibbons also jumped into the hot spring with gnashing teeth. I didn't expect the water to be as scary as imagined, but it was quite comfortable. Soon, the gibbons also had a lot of fun in the water.

Su Ming originally wanted to go down to soak in the water, but after walking around the hot spring, he found that there was really no place to step.

Wild hot springs are a little different from those in developed scenic spots, and a little "dirty".

It's not that the water quality is bad, but the dozen or so hot springs in front of us are surrounded by mud and various rugged rocks. If you want to enter the hot spring, you must step on the mud first, and you will slip if you are not careful;

There are many fallen leaves and dead branches floating in the hot spring, and it is not known whether the bottom of the water is mud or rocks. In short, it is not suitable for people to go down and soak.

Maybe, when the economy is prosperous in the future, we can spend some money to develop this hot spring and build a resort, and then we can come to soak in the hot spring.

Otherwise, ask Nangong one day if he wants to have a wild battle or something...

The monkeys played in the water for a while, and when they saw that the time was almost up, Su Ming called them, and they climbed out of the water one by one and returned. On the way back, because the small backpacks were empty, there was no need to ride the big dog, and the macaques and gibbons jumped directly on the trees, and the speed was much faster than when they came.

When it was dawn, they finally returned to the zoo. Su Ming took off their small schoolbags one by one and put them back in their cages. He took Su Meng back to the waterside pavilion.

As soon as he entered the door, he almost tripped. The Tyrannosaurus Rex was lying behind the door like a threshold, with its body coiled into a large hollow circle. More than a dozen cats of all sizes were sleeping in the circle, snoring softly.

"Oh..." Su Ming was exhausted after a busy night, stretched his body and went to bed.

...

After getting up the next day, Su Ming made a special phone call to Zhao Yun to ask about the Chen Youliang Tomb Group.

Last time, Director Song said that the archaeological excavation of the tomb group had been basically completed, and Zhao Yun also came to the zoo to discuss the relevant matters of the two companies' cooperative management. As a result, Director Song was too busy and was preparing to train Su Ming to take over, so he handed this work to Su Ming.

"Hey, I just said that to your director, but it's actually like this..."

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Yun explained, and Su Ming knew that the excavation of the tomb group was basically completed, but it would be reinforced and renovated before it could be exhibited to the public. Calculating the time, Zhao Yun estimated that it would take at least until the second half of the year.

He actually came to the zoo to find Su Ming. If there was anything, it would be difficult to say it in front of Director Song.

Zhao Yun's real purpose was to build a road!

The tombs of Chen Youliang are relatively remote, deep in the back mountain. The nearest road outside the mountain is more than five kilometers away, and there is no road to reach it. If the tombs are open to the public in the future, roads must be built.

However, if they are built together with the zoo, half of the road ownership will belong to the zoo. Even if the zoo is restructured in the future, the division of property ownership will be quite troublesome and it is easy to argue.

So Zhao Yun did not talk in depth with Director Song. What if Director Song did not think so much and took over the words, then it became a partnership between the zoo and Zhao Yun to build roads. Although Zhao Yun has a big family, he does not want to share the cake with the government in the future, or even grab the cake. To be honest, it is too insecure.

He plans to build roads together with Su Ming.

Building roads is a good thing. Su Ming actually has this plan without Zhao Yun saying it. And it is not to build a road, but to build a mountain road network. In the future, Su Ming plans to turn the back mountain into a wildlife park or even a protected area. It is definitely not possible without roads.

However, there are some difficulties in funding at present.

The cost of building roads in the mountains is much cheaper than that of highways, but it is much more expensive than the kind of roads connecting every village.

Most of the liquid funds Su Ming has now are invested in the reservoir. This year, the remaining fish in Shuijun Lake and the reservoir did make a lot of money, but Su Ming swallowed up the Huating Reservoir in one go. If he wants to digest it, he must make a huge investment.

Manpower is one aspect. After the spring, Liang Shi bought a large number of fish fry and breeding fish, and spent a lot of money to improve the breeding and fishing settings of the reservoir. The little money earned before was basically invested in the reservoir again. Only after the harvest next year, the reservoir will have the possibility of generating real economic benefits and feeding back to Su Ming.

Of course, with great investment comes great benefits. In the future, the economic volume of the reservoir will be tens of millions, far from the millions of Shuijun Lake.

"Uncle Zhao, do you know morels?" Su Ming asked.

Zhao Yun didn't expect Su Ming to change the subject so quickly. He was stunned for a moment and said on the other end of the phone: "I know something, top-grade edible fungi."

"It's like this. I have a morel weighing about half a pound. I want to auction it in Hong Kong. I don't know how much it can sell for." Su Ming said.

In the final analysis, morels are just a kind of food. The particularly large one is essentially no different from other morels. It's just that it's big and rare. Eating it won't make you ascend to heaven or turn you back to youth. As for kidneys, Su Ming thinks he's OK and doesn't need to supplement them for the time being.

Su Ming has some money, but he's not to the point where he doesn't feel bad about eating hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in one bite. What's more, he's short of money now. It's better to sell it to those real rich people who are suckers, and use the money to invest in his own industry and make money.

Zhao Yun only knows a little about morels, so it is impossible for him to quote a price right away. He asked Su Ming to wait for a while. He called the Hong Kong auction house to ask. Soon, he called Su Ming back and said, "Morels weighing half a pound are considered the king of morels. The market price is hundreds of thousands, and it is certainly possible to drive up the price at the auction. However, there are no special food auctions at the moment, so I need to wait for the opportunity. When there is a suitable auction time, Hong Kong will contact me."

From what he said, it will not be sold for a while, unless it is sold at a low price.

I talked to Zhao Yun about the winery again. After the discovery of the tombs of Chen Youliang last time, the city held a meeting for this purpose. The land that Zhao Yun had taken a fancy to before was finally changed to industrial land at the last meeting before the New Year through the operation of the relationship between Zhao Yun and Su Ming. Zhao Yun took the initiative without hesitation.

Zhao Yun has already found a construction team. The winery has laid the foundation and started construction a few days ago. It is under construction, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

What they really need to worry about is how to open up the sales of Dasheng Wine after the winery is built, and how to carve out a way out surrounded by many well-known wine companies and local old wineries.

Advertising and publicity fees are naturally indispensable, so Su Ming has to keep the only money he has on hand and dare not easily use it to build roads. After all, compared with building roads, the winery is the top priority.

The richer you are, the more you feel that the money is not enough. He has been busy for half a year, and the industry has been increasing, but the money he can use seems to be getting less and less.

He can't help but think of the "Monopoly" game he played when he was a child. He bought a lot of land, his assets increased sharply, but the cash on hand decreased sharply, and then he waited to collect tolls to make a fortune.

After hanging up the phone, he thought about his own business. It seemed that only the entertainment company was relatively well-off. After the spring, the cruise business picked up. After another month or two, the fishing business could continue, which could bring in a stable net income of more than one million yuan a year.

"Lao Su, the business license of the entertainment company has been obtained... Oh my god, what is this!"

The gate of the waterside pavilion was pushed open, and Wang Hao walked in from outside and greeted Su Ming. Then he saw the big snake hovering on the ground. Wang Hao's face turned pale in an instant, and he sat on the ground.
