On the eighth day of the lunar month, heavy snow fell.

The heavens and the earth were white.

As if for whom the snow was avenged.

Today is grandma's birthday, before Zhang Xiaobai turned twenty, every year on this day, grandma would boil a pot of laba porridge.

In front of the dim and warm oil lamp, one old and one young, each with a big bowl, sucked this bowl of delicious food.

When Zhang Xiaobai was twenty years old, his grandmother was gone, and the laba porridge was gone.

That dilapidated but warm home is gone.

Zhang Xiaobai will never forget that day, it was raining heavily outside, and her grandmother's life was dying, and at the last moment, she used her last strength to say to him: "Xiaobai! Grandma can't stand you! promised to wait for you to grow up and enjoy happiness, but grandma can't wait for that day! ”

"Grandma is gone, go down to reunite with your grandfather and mother, this is a good thing, you can't cry! Although our house is broken, you must guard our home! We want to go and see when we are white, and we can't find the way when our home is gone! ”

At that time, Zhang Xiaobai's face was full of tears, and he nodded vigorously in agreement.

Then came a roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth.

However, on the third day of my grandmother's absence, the home was gone.

In front of the grave in the cypress forest, Zhang Xiaobai stood in a daze, like a statue.

Looking at the tomb, Zhang Xiaobai said: "Grandma, it's been five years, I've waited for five years and endured five years, today, I must seek justice!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Xiaobai turned around and left.

After getting into the car, Hu Liang took out his mobile phone to make a call.

"Mr. Li, our big boss wants to see you!"

"Good, good! I'll go back to the mine right away! ”

Li Pingyuan hung up the phone, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Hu Liang's title has changed, he used to be called Brother Li and this time he is called Mr. Li, and his tone has also changed, there is no smile or politeness, as if there is no emotional wave in a pool of stagnant water.

These days have made Li Pingyuan worried, and the iron powder of the beneficiation has been piled up into several hills, and a lot of land has been rented to put iron powder.

Whenever Hu Liang was asked, he said that he was not in a hurry, and now he was sending foreign goods, as long as he finished sending them over there, he would definitely send them to the plain stone mine.

But there was no news of this.

Li Pingyuan was also suspicious, but he drank with Hu Liang a few times, and when he saw that he was not suspicious, he dispelled his concerns.

Not long ago, Hu Liang once said that the big boss appreciated Li Pingyuan very much, and he wanted to meet him when he had the opportunity.

At that time, Li Pingyuan was so excited that the mysterious big boss was finally about to appear.

Despite the heavy snowfall, Li Pingyuan hurried to the Pingyuan Stone Mine.

Arrive at your destination in an hour.

There are three people standing in the compound of the Plains Stone Mine, and they have become snowmen at this moment.

Li Pingyuan hurriedly got out of the car and said, "Mr. Hu, why are you outside?" Let's get inside! ”

Then I saw the other two people clearly, and it turned out to be Zhang Xiaobai and Niu Er.

Hu Liang said expressionlessly: "Let's talk about it here." ”

Li Pingyuan frowned, "What about your big boss?" ”

Zhang Xiaobai took a step forward and said, "Li Pingyuan, I'm the big boss!" ”

The goose-featherlike snow fell on Li Pingyuan's face, and he didn't even feel a trace of it. At this moment, his mind was in a mess, as if he was stupid by that sentence.

After a long silence, Li Pingyuan finally reacted, looked at Zhang Xiaobai with red eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "It's actually you!" ”

I thought about it before, the worst possibility is that Zhang Xiaobai gets the appreciation of the big boss, and then cuts off his own goods.

I couldn't have imagined that he was the big boss.

How can it be?

He is a mud leg from Wolong Village, how can he be a big boss? How can you control the five major steel mills? And how can you control all the small concentrators in Tang City?

Li Pingyuan suddenly shouted: "You lied to me? ”

A mocking smile was drawn at the corner of Hu Liang's mouth, "Mr. Li, I don't say that I can't see the coffin and don't cry, it's good for you, you don't admit it when the facts are in front of you!" ”

Li Pingyuan only felt that the world was spinning, and his body shook or stabilized his mind, "Hu Liang, are you acting in everything?" ”

Hu Liang spread his hands, "Thanks to you, my acting skills have improved a lot, otherwise I wouldn't be able to deceive you, an old fox!" ”

Li Pingyuan laughed wildly, laughing at himself for being stupid, laughing at himself for being a big idiot!

Looking at Zhang Xiaobai, Li Pingyuan asked, "Zhang Xiaobai, what do you want?" ”

Zhang Xiaobai said: "If there is nothing else, you will not be able to open a mine in Wolong Village!" ”

Li Pingyuan raised his eyebrows and said: "Zhang Xiaobai, even if you are a big boss, can you still control me to open a mine?" ”

Zhang Xiaobai smiled and didn't speak.

Hu Liang said: "Mr. Li, then let me ask you, where will you send the iron powder after you open the mine?" ”

Mining is to produce iron powder, iron powder to be transported to the steel mill, now Tianyi Trade controls all mineral processing resources, your iron powder naturally has no place to sell.

If you can't sell something, what kind of mine can you open?

Li Pingyuan looked at Zhang Xiaobai like a fool, "I have to say, I really look down on you, I didn't expect you to develop to this point." But you're too high on Tianyi trade, right? Zhang Xiaobai, it's not just Tangcheng that has a steel mill, I'd rather make less money than not be able to sell! ”

Zhang Xiaobai looked at the time and made a shushing gesture with his fingers on his lips.

Li Pingyuan frowned.

After a while, a domineering car came quickly, and a fat man trotted over, and saw Zhang Xiaobai nodding his head and hunching his waist, looking like a servile.

The fat man is none other than Li Hong, the owner of Hongtu Iron Mine.

"Brother Bai, I'm here!"

Li Pingyuan knows Li Hong, and he is also the No. 1 person in Laixian County, and the Hongtu Iron Mine is much larger than the Pingyuan Stone Mine.

It turned out that Hongtu Iron Mine sent iron powder to Ruihua Iron and Steel, but because it offended Tianyi Trade, Ruihua Iron and Steel cut off the cooperative relationship, and then sent the iron powder to other places.

Li Pingyuan didn't understand, why did he come? Obviously, there is no need for Tianyi Trade, why bother with Zhang Xiaobai's posture?

Zhang Xiaobai said: "Let's talk to Li Pingyuan!" ”

Li Hong nodded with a bow, then turned to Li Pingyuan, his face changed suddenly, and he finally took out the posture of a big boss.

"I said Lao Li! Are you stupid? You don't know how much energy Brother Bai has? Not to mention that you can't open a mine, it's easy to make you unable to get along in Tang City! ”

Li Hong, who is so much older than Zhang Xiaobai, screams one by one, and the one who screams is smooth.

Li Pingyuan sneered and said, "Mr. Li, let's be clear, what's going on?" Didn't you let him bully and run away? Why did you come back to be a dog for him? ”

Li Hong didn't mind his ridicule at all, and said, "Li Pingyuan, you really don't want to give you face!" Aren't you just thinking about transporting iron powder out of the earth? To tell you the truth, you can't send goods to any steel mills around Tangcheng, and they all have a cooperative relationship with Brother Bai! ”

"You big fool!"

Li Pingyuan reacted for a long time before he woke up, and muttered, "Impossible, impossible, how can he have such great ability?" ”

Li Hong smacked on the ground and didn't pay any more attention to him.

At this moment, Li Hong seemed to be ringing a bell in his ears, buzzing and dizzy.
