Chapter 101: Chapter 101 The Cableway Is Very Useful
Ji Yang was at the cableway at that moment.
A power line had been specially extended for this cableway.
As it started up, several bags of cement placed in a crate began their journey toward the other side.
Success!
Seeing the cargo being transported, a smile appeared on Ji Yang’s face.
The construction team leader also smiled and said, "With this thing, it’s very convenient to transport goods back and forth from here; it’s even possible to transport a few people."
People under five hundred kilograms could also be transported, which was indeed a nice development.
Ji Yang replied with a smile, "Thank you all."
"You provided the funding; we just did the construction, no need for thanks. Once this project is completed, we can head back. Truth be told, we didn’t make much money from your project, Chief Ji. Actually, you could treat this as a separate project."
"Oh, what kind of project?"
"The cableway. You could develop a cableway project here. I believe many tourists would be interested in it."
Ji Yang looked at the situation on both sides and said, "I’ve thought about it, but I’m a bit worried about the safety."
"That’s not an issue at all. Tourist cableways are very mature nowadays, and the technology is good—no problems at all."
"Uh huh, we’ll study this matter further."
"If you decide to go ahead with this project, we can work on it as well."
"Okay, if there’s an opportunity, we can collaborate in the future."
Indeed, it was a project. However, since a bridge was to be built here, creating a cableway project might not be quite suitable. Ji Yang’s motive for this project was merely to save time and manpower.
The villagers who had been assigned to take charge had learned from the construction team for a while now, and they were the ones operating the cableway at this moment.
Ji Yang watched for a while and, seeing that they were doing a good job, gave them a few words of encouragement.
It was a coveted task for the villagers of Wushu Village, responsible for the project, and they all seemed to be in good spirits.
"Try to transport as much cement as possible; that’s what we’re most in need of over there now," Ji Yang instructed them before sitting in the crate himself and sliding to the other side.
Upon arriving, Ji Yang also smiled. This endeavor was somewhat risky; for greater safety, it would be best if people, aside from the cargo crate, were also attached to a rope.
Whatever the case, having this cableway was convenient. In the past, carrying goods down and up the mountain took hours, but now it was a matter of moments to reach the other side.
When the villagers saw Ji Yang come over like this, they too became excited.
Ji Yang addressed everyone, "This is for transporting goods only; transporting people is not very safe. Unless there’s an urgent need, do not transport people casually. And even if you need to transport someone, make sure they are tied with a safety rope."
The person in charge nodded enthusiastically in agreement.
While he was speaking, the person in charge of the construction team also arrived via the cableway.
"Chief Ji, I’ve heard there are going to be some major constructions here; is that true?"
This man, Cao Jun, was quite good at getting involved in matters.
Ji Yang said with a smile, "Correct, we plan to build a new village over there in that area; the whole plan is laid out. Also, over there, there should be a hot springs resort being built, which will also require a substantial investment."
Cao Jun’s eyes lit up instantly; they were looking for construction projects and had come to inquire after hearing about potential developments here.
"Do you think we can take on the job?"
Looking at Cao Jun, Ji Yang did recognize their capabilities and said, "As you can see, the purpose of building this cableway is to transport construction materials. Large equipment cannot be brought over, and all the construction can only be done by the villagers."
Cao Jun was amused and replied with a smile, "Chief Ji, that’s something you might not realize. We’re professionals in this field. Whether or not large machinery can be brought over is something we can solve. If it really comes to it, we’ll disassemble it and transport it over."
"The village doesn’t have much money to allocate; our plan is for the villagers to handle it themselves."
"Chief Ji, I’ve heard that your village’s business is doing well, so you definitely have money. Don’t worry, we won’t charge you too much."
Ji Yang thought seriously. Originally, the idea was that external construction teams couldn’t come in, so the villagers had to undertake the construction themselves. But now it seemed that way of thinking might not be quite right. After all, the villagers were not that professional. If a construction team were involved, it was likely that the job could be done much better.
Ji Yang asked, "What’s the cost for a full set from you guys?"
"Chief Ji, you’re an expert too. Our region is just a small fourth or fifth-tier city, and we can’t compare with second and third-tier cities. The prices for various construction materials are not high, especially here, where labor costs are also very low. If the village provides labor, the cost of labor will be even lower. Moreover, I heard that the village makes its bricks, which greatly saves on brick expenses. Then there’s sand and gravel—if the village handles it, that’s another huge saving."
Ji Yang nodded inwardly, that indeed was the situation.
Cao Jun continued, "So if we’re just dealing with the situation of shops in front and residences in the back, we should be able to do it for about eighty thousand per set."
Just then, a mobile phone rang.
Ji Yang signaled that he was going to make a call and walked aside with the phone.
Chu Shuyuan called, and as soon as she started speaking, she laughed, "Your rice wine arrived just in time, really relieved my stress. You have no idea how much they’ve pestered me."
This woman had a bit of a coquettish charm!
Ji Yang replied with a laugh, "So how much are you paying the village this time?"
After all, Chu Shuyuan was the one who set the price; surely they were going to make a good profit.
