Late at night, Li Banfeng sat in the fifth room and watched movies with the projector.
After editing, the storyline is more coherent, the characters are more fleshed out, the frequent frame drops have been greatly improved, and the heroine in the feature film is becoming more and more real.
Li Banfeng praised: "You have improved your skills so much that you can create such a complete movie from a story on paper. It seems that you have found a good teacher."
The projector flashed and said: "It all depends on the guidance of Director Qi."
Li Banfeng shook his head and said: "Don't praise me, I can't afford it. I can't even succeed in making movies. Are you really unwilling to introduce that teacher to me?"
The projector replied firmly: "You're talking about that girl, right? That's really what I imagined."
Li Banfeng looked at the projector.
The projector said calmly: "Director Qi, I am loyal to you and have never changed."
Projector may still be dissatisfied with what happened before, but he will not deceive Li Banfeng because of it.
In his opinion, this woman was really a figment of his imagination.
What on earth is this woman going to do?
No matter what her purpose was, Li Banfeng had warned his wife that she must not let this woman damage the projector.
When the movie came to an end, Li Banfeng saw a vase on the heroine's table that looked very familiar.
"This vase is——"
"Director Qi, this vase belongs to our family, I'm borrowing it to make a prop."
This is the lost vase that Glove refers to.
What technique is this?
"Director Qi, Heishipo's newspaper is so good, it's almost a natural script."
Li Banfeng stood up and said, "I'll buy some more."
Li Banfeng left the newspaper office and was about to go out to buy some newspapers when a rickshaw parked at the door.
Rickshaws are not common in Heishipo. People usually travel by train.
The short and stocky coachman stood up and said, "Sir, where are you going? I'll take you off - is it you?"
The coachman recognized Li Banfeng: "Little brother, have you come to Heishipo?"
Li Banfeng nodded: "Brother, why are you here pulling a cart?"
"Business here is easy, little brother, you work in this newspaper? That's right. I told you before that it's not shameful to find a job. It's much better than making a desperate living. Do you know this person?"
Are you the shopkeeper of the newspaper office?"
Li Banfeng laughed and said: "In a newspaper office, you usually don't call me the shopkeeper."
"Yes, everyone here calls him boss. The boss here is named Li Qi. I'm here to see him."
Li Banfeng nodded: "Then you have found the right person."
The driver looked Li Banfeng up and down, looked at his suit, and said in surprise: "Are you Li Qi?"
Li Banfeng nodded slightly, and the coachman said happily: "Brother, get in the car quickly, I will take you away."
"Where to go?"
"Go to Huangtu Bridge!"
"Take this car to go?"
"This car is faster than a train. There are fire wheels under my feet!"
Li Banfeng and Ma Wu took the train to Huangtu Bridge.
After leaving the train station and seeing the deserted streets, Li Banfeng sighed: "It's not easy to do business here."
Ma Wu knew that business in Huangtuqiao was not easy, but he really wanted to give it a try. If Xindi could be turned into Qiuqiu City, Huangtuqiao might not be unable to be saved.
The driver pulled the rickshaw and waited at the intersection. He greeted Li Banfeng from afar: "Brother, you are here. Who is this friend?"
Ma Wu introduced himself, and the coachman nodded and said: "It turns out to be brothers Ma Wu, whose name I have admired for a long time. You two, please come to the car and I will take you around."
In the past, some people from major families had contact with the Earth God, but only the core members of the family.
After getting to know Li Qi, Ma Wu met a lot of local gods, and they usually just called each other brothers and sisters. Today, the local gods had to pull the cart themselves, so how could Ma Wu dare to ride in his car?
"You're too polite, we can just walk there."
The coachman was not happy anymore: "What's the matter, do you look down on my brother? Do you think I'm a shabby guy who pulls a cart?"
Ma Wu shook his head repeatedly and said, "I'm afraid you will get hurt."
"I'm tired of walking slowly with you, so hurry up and get in the car."
Li Banfeng and Ma Wu rode in a foreign cart and followed the driver around the town.
Loess Bridge is rich in coal and loess clay. A coal sand river goes around the city. There are more than a dozen bridges in the town, of which the four largest bridges in the southeast, northwest and northwest divide the entire town into four areas.
Not every area of ​​Huangtu Bridge is sparsely populated. East Bridge, West Bridge, and South Bridge are relatively desolate. North Bridge has not many residents, and occasionally you can see people setting up stalls and doing business.
Ma Wu asked: "What do these people do for a living?"
The driver said: "There are several coal mines nearby. They can't make a lot of money from their work, and they can barely make enough for food and clothing."
Ma Wu asked again: "All the coal mines in Huangtuqiao are in their hands?"
The coachman shook his head and said, "How many mines do they have? Less than 10%! If you want to do the coal business, I will take you there. A large area of ​​the mines will belong to you two brothers."
The driver took the two of them all the way to the West Bridge, walked out of the town, and reached the edge of the Loess Bridge, where they finally saw the mine.
This place is indeed not small. When Ma Wu saw the mine, it was like seeing a golden mountain, and his eyes shone together.
The driver also introduced: "Look at this mine, the rails, and the mine carts, they are all ready-made -"
Wow!
The minecart fell apart.
The coachman looked slightly embarrassed and said, "It's all a trivial matter. If you repair it, it will still work."
Li Banfeng didn't understand coal mining, but Ma Wu was an expert.
"Lao Qi, this big brother didn't lie to us. This is a good mine.
Although most of the equipment in this place is broken, if we call our workers and repairmen to pick it up, we can open it in less than half a month."
Li Banfeng asked: "Why start from the coal mine?"
Ma Wudao: "Firstly, coal mines make money, and secondly, coal mines employ many people. Such a large mine can accommodate three to five thousand workers.
When the workers come, they will have to keep up with the basic necessities of life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the business in the town will gradually flourish, and Huangtuqiao will see its popularity."
Ma Wu was full of confidence, but Li Banfeng was a little worried: "Since the coal mining business is so simple, why don't you see anyone doing it?"
Ma Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "Not everyone can do this business. Ordinary people can open a small coal mine even if they empty their money bags.
Operating a mine requires a huge initial investment, and we only dare to make this plan if we have the capital."
Li Qi and Ma Wu do have strong financial resources, but the financial resources of the four major families are also not shallow. Why don't they come to Huangtuqiao to do business?
Li Banfeng remembered that Qiu Zhiheng once said that doing business in Huangtuqiao was a lot of trouble.
Ma Wu also knew the inside story: "There are too few people in Huangtuqiao, so it is definitely not possible to recruit workers from the local area. When recruiting workers from other places, you have to pay for food, accommodation and travel expenses. The operating costs are higher than other places. In addition, I also
I heard that the local businessmen in Huangtuqiao are not easy to deal with and always give trouble to outsiders."
While speaking, Ma Wu looked at the coachman.
The coachman waved his hands and said, "There's nothing to mess with. Isn't it just the few small coal mines in Beiqiao? I'll take care of this. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll send him on his way. Brothers, let's go ahead and do it!"
When Ma Wu wanted to do it, Li Banfeng first agreed with the coachman on the terms: "Except for the current owner of the Huangtuqiao land, we will manage it from now on."
The coachman slapped his chest: "The place where there is an owner belongs to you too, I will take them all away!"
Li Banfeng waved his hand and said, "We don't care about the land that is owned by the owner. This is serious business."
The two parties reached an agreement and signed a contract. With the support of the local god, Ma Wu also had confidence and immediately took the train to Heishipo to recruit workers.
The miners had a hard time, and they had to go to Huangtuqiao. It was really difficult to recruit people. Ma Wu doubled the wages, and only more than 200 people were recruited in three days.
More than two hundred people are enough. Let's get the coal mine up and running first. Ma Wu is very optimistic: "Old Qi, the business of the coal mine is easy to do. When it starts to turn around, just ask our people to look after it. I still have to go back to Qiuqiu City. Then
This is our most important place."
The miners were in place and went down to dig coal. Ma Wu brought along the construction workers and bought equipment and materials from outside to build the railway from the mine to the station.
This is not a railway operated by other states. This is a small train railway for transporting coal. The craftsmanship is not so exquisite.
There are a few places that are rotten and can be used once they are repaired.
After the railway was repaired and the first batch of coal was dug out, Ma Wu arranged for people to contact the buyers in Lvshuicheng, and the first business was concluded.
The cost was slightly higher, but because Li Qi and Liao Zihui had an agreement, they took advantage of the freight and the business was still profitable.
Seeing the first car of coal being transported out of the mine, Ma Wu was in a good mood.
After leaving the mine and walking less than a mile, there was something wrong with the railway and the mine car overturned.
It is reasonable for a railway like this that has been in disrepair to have some faults. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
Ma Wu asked people to find out the cause and repaired it overnight.
That night, the railway was repaired and sixteen loads of coal were all robbed.
This thing is so ridiculous that Ma Wu doesn’t believe it: “How could sixteen loads of coal be robbed?
Even if I watch him move, he won’t be able to move!”
The train driver said: "I don't know what they used, but they unloaded the coal in a blink of an eye.
In the blink of an eye, no one was even there."
Ma Wu frowned and said, "This must be caused by those people from Beiqiao, right?"
Li Banfeng didn't care about the sixteen loads of coal, he cared about the other party's methods.
If you can move all sixteen carts of coal away, the opponent must have a high-level magic weapon.
People who possess such high-level magic weapons are definitely not ordinary people, and they seem to have underestimated these coal bosses.
The coachman was still there to console him: "Brother Ma Wu, it's my fault. I should have followed the train the whole way. I was overthinking it."
Ma Wu didn't complain. The business had just opened, so it was normal for him to have some setbacks. He went to the station first. There, he was waiting for the goods to be shipped tonight. He had to give an explanation to others. He was waiting for the goods to be received at Green Water City, and he had to give them an explanation.
an explanation.
After the matter was settled, Ma Wu went back to the mine to dig coal. Li Banfeng stepped up his vigilance to prevent anyone from attacking the mine.
That night, something happened in the mine, not in the mine, but in the living area.
The work shed was burned down and the workers had no place to stay at night.
Ma Wu quickly took people to put out the fire. When he came back, he took a look and found that the mine car had been smashed, the steam drum of the locomotive was leaked, and the connecting rod was broken.
Ogawazi said angrily: "These bastards are targeting the most dangerous places!"
The steam drum and connecting rod are very special and are difficult to replace or repair.
What's even more terrible is that this time the opponent took action under Li Banfeng's nose. Li Banfeng had double eighth-level cultivation, but he was unable to find any trace of the opponent.
Where has the coachman gone?
He is the God of the Earth and a cultivator on the clouds. If he hadn't discovered it, the other party's background would have been too great!
Why would such a powerful opponent target such a coal mine?
Kawako was contacting people to repair the train when the foreman came over in a hurry and said to Ma Wu: "The ledger is gone."
The foreman's account book records the workload of each worker. If this thing is gone, wages cannot be calculated.
This was a worker hired by Heishipo. How could he bear this grievance? They all came to Ma Wu to ask for an explanation.
One of the workers got a little excited and stepped forward to give the horse a push.
Ma Wu didn't care, but he was very angry: "It's so evil. Is there a funeral ceremony here?
I guess the level is not low!"
Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "This was not done by mourning cultivators."
He had interacted with mourning cultivators in Yaowanggou and was very familiar with mourning cultivators.
Ma Wudao: "Then which sect made this?"
"I can't tell which sect it is, I just feel like someone is ruthless and causing trouble."
But since he is a ruthless person, why do he want to cause trouble? Why not just strike hard?
Li Banfeng couldn't figure it out for a while.
While he was thinking about it, the Tang saber trembled constantly at Li Banfeng's waist.
Chapter completed!
