Base Construction

Li Yu, who had returned to the village, thought that if he wanted to build a base, there was no way he could avoid his parents.

So he wanted to give them a reason to be at ease: to build a village tour park.

The idea was to build a village tour park that combined fishing, picking, tourism, and picnicking. Moreover, this place was not too far from the county city. If not for the apocalypse, perhaps many city people would come to spend money building such a place.

Li Yu spoke frankly at the dinner table that night.

For a moment, his parents were stunned on the spot.

His father lit a cigarette and took a slow drag.

He said leisurely, "I support you when you come back to start a business. I've saved some money over the years to prepare for a wife. But according to the scale you just mentioned, this money is definitely not enough."

As soon as Li Yu heard his father's answer, he immediately took out the lottery ticket and the photo of the prize money.

Liu Fanghua and Li Hongyuan were instantly shocked by Li Yu's words.

They stared blankly at the balance in Li Yu's bank account: 31 million.

After persuading his parents, Li Yu brought his father to the village secretary the next day to approve the land renovation procedures.

Upon hearing that Li Yu was going to start a business, the village secretary was very happy. This would definitely boost local income.

At the same time, he also contracted a few acres of land beside the Li family's land. This piece of land was also publicly owned by the village and had always been desolate there. The village secretary also saw that Li Yu wanted to start a business and develop for the village in the future, so he rented it to Li Yu at a cheap price.

Pa! The village secretary was very straightforward. The official seal was finalized. After all, most of this land was also allocated by Li Hongyuan's household register.

When his grandfather's family split up, the three uncles' families and Li Hongyuan's family had a total of 50 acres of land. Li Hongyuan's family had been allocated nearly 10 acres of land, and this piece of land was on the other side of the mountain.

After the process was completed, Li Yu started building the base.

Li Hongyuan was originally a construction worker, and he was still running this small workshop in town. In the past two years, he had specialized in manufacturing culverts, but his ten-odd years of experience wasn't just for show.

When Li Hongyuan saw Li Yu's sketch, he couldn't react in time and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Are you building a bunker? Do you need to build a high wall more than six meters tall to build a village tour park?"

"Electricity?"

"You want to build a 10-meter watchtower?" Li Hongyuan said in disbelief.

Seeing his father's exclamation, Li Yu felt troubled. However, he still had to let his father take the lead in this matter. After all, he wouldn't be at ease if outsiders were in charge of this matter.

Furthermore, in the construction industry, cutting corners was a common occurrence. Letting his father supervise the construction would definitely make the base stronger.

Li Yu replied, "Building a high point is to prevent others from running into it. Anyway, you just have to do as I say."

Li Hongyuan wanted to say something but opened his mouth and lowered his head again.

Then, he saw another place and could not help but ask, "What's the situation with your 2,000 square meters basement?"

Li Yu replied patiently, "So they can park underground, Dad."

Li Hongyuan added, "Why build five villas, including two rows of three-story houses?"

Li Yu replied, "The guests can stay overnight. We can also stay there ourselves."

Li Hongyuan asked again, "What's the situation with these 100 cameras?"

Li Yu replied, "To prevent others from causing trouble…"

...…

Just like that, Li Yu slowly answered his father's questions. Of course, he skipped over some difficult questions. Father Li was too lazy to ask anymore. Anyway, Li Yu had all kinds of excuses and reasons.

After Li Yu and Father Li's conversation came to an end, Li Yu pulled his father and said to him seriously,

"Dad, I know you have a lot of doubts, but please believe me, okay? During the construction process, if you have any doubts, tell me at any time. Don't change it on your own. If you want to change anything, tell me first."

One had to know that as parents, they often wanted to do things that they thought were good for their children.

However, in this situation, Li Yu was very afraid that his father would change his design because he wanted to save money or for other considerations.

The current design that was presented in front of Father Li was the entire design that Li Yu had come up with after countless considerations.

In addition, Li Yu also hired professionals to draw up a professional design blueprint.

Seeing that his father seemed to have listened to him, Li Yu felt a little relieved.

Although his relationship with his father was not that close, his father had basically done what he had promised him since he was young.

He looked at the time. There were still 175 days before the apocalypse arrived.

So he said to his father, "Can the entire construction period be completed in three months?"

Mr. Li looked at Li Yu in disbelief…

Three months… This included two mountains, a lake, and 15 acres of land.

In three months, two mountains, ponds, and more than ten acres of plains had to be surrounded by high walls.

In total, it was about tens of thousands of square meters. The entire wall alone was a few thousand meters tall. According to the thickness of this wall, it was one meter.

He calculated that the six-meter-tall wall on the market was about 500 yuan per meter in length. The two-meter thickness would probably increase by several times.

In other words, just building this high wall alone would cost about five million.

'Three months?'

'What are you thinking?'

As if seeing the disbelief in Father Li's eyes, Li Yu continued, "We can hire more people. In any case, transportation is convenient and materials can be bought quickly. Try to do it within three months."

Li Hongyuan looked at his swift and decisive son. After two days of interaction, he had a strange feeling about his son. He vaguely felt that his son had become decisive and unyielding.

He felt a little gratified. This was how boys should be.

Li Hongyuan rambled on, "Hey, it's your winnings anyway. I'll help you make it. I told you last time to buy two houses in the city, but you didn't listen."

Then, he looked up and said, "I'll try my best during the construction period, but three months is a little uncertain."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the living room. He immediately turned on the phone.

"Hey, Engineer Zhang, does your team still have work to do? I recently took on a project…" Mr. Li was very smart and did not specify whose project it was.

After the call ended, he made a few more calls.

"Hey, Factory Manager Zhang, what's the price of your cement now…"

"Hello, CEO Liu, is your company working on any new projects recently?…"

Li Yu felt a little amused and heartbroken as he looked at President Li who had gone back to work.

This old man said so much to dissuade him, but he was so fierce when he did work.

After all, in the early years of the construction era, be it the countryside or the county city, the market for building houses and renovation was still flourishing.

In the past two years, there were fewer and fewer people building houses, so Mr. Li changed to the cement and pipe industry.

Seeing that Mr. Li seemed to have returned to his energetic state, it was definitely the biggest project he had ever received.

Li Yu ran up the mountain and inspected the terrain again.

Two contracted mountains and a five-acre mountain pond.

The pond was surrounded by mountains. The lake was bright and watery. Two mountains were imprinted on the surface of the lake. The scenery was pleasant.

Directly ahead was the 15 acres of land. It was flat and there was a small pond in the middle.

There was also a hundred-year-old camphor tree planted in the middle.

This camphor tree had been registered, and the government had come over to install an "ID" on it.

The scenery was not bad.

In Li Yu's expectations, there would be a total of two layers of walls. The outermost layer would be a six-meter-high wall with an electric fence. The inner layer would be a 2.5-meter-high small wall surrounding the residential area.

There would definitely be an electric fence on the wall, and the electric fence would be powered by solar panels. The vast mountaintop could provide sufficient sunlight.

The solar power at the top of the hill would power the fence, and the photovoltaic panels on the roof would provide all the electricity in the room.

In addition, three 10-meter-tall observation towers were set up at the highest points of the two mountaintops and on the plains.

In addition, rice and other crops had to be planted on the 15 acres of plains. The initial plan was to plant 4 acres of land. The current yield was 500 kilograms per acre, each person would consume an average of 200 kilograms of food per year.

In addition, it could be planted for two seasons a year, or even three.

It was equivalent to saying that an acre of land could support 15 people. It was only in the warm south and fine farming that the production was so high.

Four acres of land could support more than 60 people.

Of course, this was just his beautiful thought.

In addition, he still had to raise fish in the mountain pond. At the moment, Father Li had contracted the mountain pond to raise fish.

Most of the trees on the mountain were orange trees now. When the time came, he would plant some other fruit trees.

Then, there was the garden.

In Li Yu's heart, he always felt that he had to build a beautiful garden.

Even in this desperate apocalypse, he could still defend a pure land alone.

It was very helpful in maintaining one's sanity.

Li Yu had always liked the gardens in Suzhou, so the architectural style in many places was classical.

Coincidentally, there was a large quarry not far from Li Yu's house. It was suitable for the construction of the base.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

As for money, by just spending 25 million yuan, it could definitely reach the value of hundreds of millions.
