All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

Four people got out of the car.

They all came over, and one of them, whose face was a bit dark, took out a cigarette and started offering it to others.

"Boss, let's go fishing," he said to his second uncle.

"My nephew contracted the fishpond..."

The second uncle introduced Zhou Yongcheng to the group of fishermen.

"Boss, this is a great place, but there's no fishing spot."

“We’re also studying this issue today. It’s true that it’s difficult to build fishing spots. If you build fishing spots, you have to release water, and after releasing water, the water storage is slow. In winter, the water coming down from upstream is pitifully little,” Zhou Yongcheng explained to them with a smile.

"Boss, it's obvious you've never run a fishing spot before. There are many ways to build fishing spots. The best way for you to do this is to put a row of plastic or metal buckets on both sides and then drive wooden stakes into the water to secure them."

Zhou Yongcheng's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. How come he hadn't thought of it?

"Thank you. We really don't have any experience in this area. Do you have any suggestions you could give us?"

Another person said, "Boss, you can open a shop at home and sell snacks, instant noodles and the like. We come here to fish all day long, and we have to go out to buy things when we get hungry."

"Yes, you can also sell some fishing gear and the like, we sometimes need it too."

"Okay, I see."

Several anglers paid the fishing fee and went fishing.

Zhou Yongcheng told his second uncle that he should open a shop at home to sell things and earn some extra money.

“Yongcheng, I think you could build a house here; it would be more convenient for you.”

Zhou Yongcheng thought about it and agreed. It only took two or three minutes to walk from here to his second uncle's house. If they built a house here, they could warm themselves by the fire in winter and enjoy the air conditioning in summer.

Then there was more to do. The house was left to my second uncle. The house by the fishpond was to be built as a single-story building, a bit bigger to accommodate more people, but not too many, just three rooms: one for the kitchen, one for rest, and one for selling goods.

Zhou Yongcheng went to the city to buy the kind of iron bucket that the fisherman had mentioned.

After a day, Zhou Yongcheng found plastic products that could be used to build floating bridges on the water.

When he saw the things, Zhou Yongcheng realized that he was too ignorant and that there were many things in this world that he did not know.

The plastic components used to build the floating bridge can be assembled in any way, and can be as wide as desired, even covering the entire fishpond.

Zhou Yongcheng explained his needs to the distributor, who said there was absolutely no problem, and they would even cover the installation.

The fact that installation is included is what Zhou Yongcheng is most satisfied with; he likes things to be done in one go so he doesn't have to worry about it.

Zhou Yongcheng spent nearly a million to purchase four sections of pontoon bridge, two of which are 60 meters long and two of which are 30 meters long, each with a width of three meters.

The longer ones are placed in the lower fishpond, and the shorter ones are placed in the upper fishpond.

The dealer called over a dozen trucks to load the pontoon bridge. Pontoon bridges take up a lot of space, so one truck can't carry many.

The next day, Zhou Yongcheng returned to the village, and the truck arrived shortly afterward.

Zhou Yongcheng called many people to help unload the goods and build a pontoon bridge.

The floating bridge is directly fixed to the mountain or embankment inside, and there are guardrails on the outside. A steel pipe is also inserted into the fishpond outside the floating bridge to fix it and prevent it from moving. The protruding parts are the fishing spots, and there is a fishing spot at intervals.

With the help of the villagers, the pontoon bridge was built quite quickly. Building the pontoon bridge was a lot of fun, like playing a jigsaw puzzle, except that the pontoon bridge was a large jigsaw puzzle, requiring two people to work together.

It took just over two days to build the four sections of the floating bridge.

That day, town secretary Li Youjun brought a middle-aged man of similar age to the fishpond.

According to Li Youjun's introduction, the middle-aged man was named Zhu Cheng, and he was the county magistrate of Yinsi County.

They didn't bring their secretary, so it seems they came to take a look or to get to know Zhou Yongcheng.

"Boss Zhou is truly young and promising. He has made money outside, but he hasn't forgotten to benefit his hometown," Zhu Cheng praised.

He became interested in Zhou Yongcheng after hearing Li Youjun mention him. He knew about the oranges from Huayang Village; due to the variety, the oranges didn't taste good and were considered the lowest quality fruit on the market.

After inspecting the oranges, most buyers would offer a price of one to two yuan, never exceeding two and a half yuan. However, Zhou Yongcheng offered three yuan and directly asked for two thousand tons, which was a huge deal that most people wouldn't dare to take.

He also heard that Zhou Yongcheng had declared in the village that he would buy any cattle or sheep raised by the village itself at a premium. What kind of boldness was that? Most people wouldn't dare to do that.

Yinsi County has many wealthy people; every village has its own tycoons, and quite a few have assets worth tens of millions of yuan.

Just like in his hometown village in Fuyang County, there is a brother whose net worth is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, but he has never done a good thing for the village, nor has he ever helped any of the young people in the village. He looks down on such people.

After Zhou Yongcheng made his fortune, he did a lot of good deeds when he returned home. He even noticed that streetlights had been installed along the road leading into the village, which shows how broad-minded this young man is, something that ordinary people cannot achieve.

"I don't deserve the county head's praise; these are all things within my capabilities."

They walked on the floating bridge by the fishpond, chatting about everyday things.

What kind of business does Mr. Zhou run?

"Doing trade means selling the oranges I bought last time to others and making a profit from the price difference."

"Are you interested in investing in the county?"

This is probably the real purpose of the county magistrate's visit. Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile, "Not for now. I'm not particularly good at doing business. I can only make a little profit by relying on friends."

Zhu Cheng nodded and said, "The county has set up a cattle farm with a lot of cattle ready for market. Boss Zhou, do you have any connections to help sell them?"

Is this the typical tactic of officials? You previously refused investment, saying your specialty is making money from price differences. Now there are goods that you can profit from, let's see how you refuse.

Zhou Yongcheng was speechless; these officials were being far too roundabout.

"I'll try to contact them first, but if I really don't have any friends who need help, I can't do anything about it."

Zhu Cheng extended his hand and shook hands with Zhou Yongcheng. He then visited various breeding farms in the village.

He estimated that all the farms in Qingshui Village combined were many times larger than the county-run farms, and the number of cattle and sheep would be quite large once they were all ready for market.

He also realized that the size of the farm was not commensurate with the number of animals being raised, and that the number of animals being raised next year would likely increase by one to two times, at which point the number of cattle and sheep leaving Qingshui Village would be truly staggering.

The two leaders stayed in Qingshui Village for an hour or two. Zhu Cheng added Zhou Yongcheng on WeChat and also asked for Zhou Yongcheng's phone number.

Before leaving, Zhou Yongcheng treated them to a simple meal, and Zhu Cheng said it would be next time.

Back at the fishpond, Zhou Yongqiang approached and asked curiously, "What does the county magistrate want with you?"

"Want to invest? Any interest in taking a stake?" Zhou Yongcheng joked.

"If you invest, I'll take a stake."

"Just kidding, it's not easy to do business these days. First, you don't have good skills, and second, you don't have the business acumen."

"That's true. We should just quietly focus on aquaculture. Making big money through investments is not something people like us can afford to do."

Zhou Yongqiang went to the place where the house was being built and started working, and Zhou Yongcheng also went over to help.

Although the house is a single-story building, it is not a bungalow.

In hot weather, the houses become too hot inside when the sun shines on them.

My second uncle said that the lower half of the house should be built like a bungalow, and the upper half like a wooden house, with a suspended ceiling inside.
