Obtaining the Entry Ticket, Adding Another 2 Mu of Large Contract

Chapter 116 Obtaining the Entry Ticket, Adding Another 2 Mu of Large Contract

in the afternoon.

Gu Tong still let Ai Kebai direct the team's work first, while he himself drove the integrated silage harvester to catch up with the progress.

The enormous steel behemoth was completely tamed in his hands, and the harvesting speed gradually increased, with the accompanying transport vehicles struggling to keep up with his pace.

After the break, Gu Tong did the same as in the morning, swapping cars with Ma Yucheng and personally leading his group to compete against Liao Laosan's group.

Liao Laosan lived up to his reputation as Honghe's top farm machinery operator. In the first half of the afternoon, the opponent kept a close grip on the game, preventing Aikebai and others from widening the gap further.

The gap between the two sides widened further only after Gu Tong personally took to the field.

Chen Shuyong acted as if he were clocking in for work, rushing over before the work was finished so that he could lead the team to measure the area of ​​work done by both sides that day.

The land parcels were clearly marked, the large numbers were definitely accurate, and the small numbers were also basically correct. Therefore, neither Gu Tong's group nor Liao Laosan's group had any objection to the final result.

In the live stream, fans were waiting for the final result, and they were even more anxious than Gu Tong.

[Lonely Swordsman]: "Boss, are the results out yet?"

The live stream had switched to a static feed. Gu Tong had learned his lesson and only broadcast the footage of him leading his team in a contest against Liao Laosan's group in the afternoon. He didn't broadcast the footage of him operating the silage harvester alone earlier.

This arrangement actually made the live stream more effective, and the number of online viewers exceeded 30,000.

"It'll be quick, everyone just need to wait a little longer."

As soon as Gu Tong finished speaking, he saw Chen Shuyong calling out to him, so he quickly ran over.

Not long after, he returned to the camera, smiling, and said, "Family, the results are in. Our team completed 587 mu of mowing today, while the opposing team completed 525 mu. We win!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers erupted in the live stream.

In fact, the silage harvester performed very well today, harvesting 550 acres of forage in a single day. However, the fans' focus was not on that, so he didn't mention it.

"You're the best!"

The screen was instantly filled with comments, and all sorts of small gifts rained down on Gu Tong.

Although the amount of money wasn't much, it was a festive occasion. Gu Tong kept saying, "Thank you so much for the generous donations, everyone!"

Liao Laosan and his men looked ashen-faced, but he didn't give up. Instead, he said to the people around him, "This is only the first day. There's still about a week to go. I don't believe they can maintain this level of performance throughout the whole process."

After saying that, Honghe's men quickly left the scene.

Gu Tong chatted with her fans for a while, then ended the broadcast and started packing her things.

Aikebai was overjoyed and leaned close to him, saying, "Master, we still need you to step in at crucial moments. With you here, Liao Laosan and his ilk are nothing!"

"Who is the old person? Who do you think is the old person?"

Gu Tong got angry when she heard the term "old man" and kicked Aikebai twice.

Ai Kebai tried to dodge, but couldn't escape no matter what he did, so he quickly begged for mercy: "I'm an old man! Master, I won't do it again, please forgive me."

After the master and apprentice joked around for a while, everyone went back to the town for dinner.

After dinner, Gu Tong had just entered her room when she received a message from Gu Lixian: "Congratulations on your successful start! Have you eaten yet?"

""

"A narrow victory, but we still need to work hard. The opposing group is very strong, not to be underestimated. I just got home after dinner, how about you?"

They didn't know when it started, but Gu Tong and Gu Lixian had gotten used to chatting every now and then.

Even if nothing's wrong, chatting about the weather is nice.

Ten minutes later, Gu Tong put down her phone, took a shower, dressed, and went out to find Ma Yucheng.

"Little Gu? Come in and have a seat."

Ma Yucheng opened the door and was somewhat surprised to see Gu Tong.

Although he had been trying to integrate into the group of four, the time was clearly not right yet, and he always felt that there was a barrier between him and the others.

This was the first time Gu Tong had taken the initiative to visit.

"Brother Ma, can you still find a reliable farm machinery operator? Preferably someone who operates independently, mainly for their own use, and occasionally takes on freelance work to earn some extra money."

Gu Tong doesn't like beating around the bush, and she stated her purpose directly after entering the room.

"There are a few, you mean?"

Not every agricultural machinery owner will sell their machines or join the Jinfeng Group. Many individual farmers buy agricultural machinery primarily for their own use, and only secondarily to take on orders and make money.

Ma Yucheng knew quite a few people like this, and he felt that four or five of them were reliable, but he couldn't figure out Gu Tong's intentions.

"We have a good chance of winning in this competition. The key is that through the information we've gathered over the past two days, we can confirm that Tecos needs more harvesters. I'm thinking we can do them a favor, both by collecting management fees and by expanding our external partners."

Li Yong decided to engage in a competition as a prelude to the later large-scale expansion of the Jinfeng Group into Tekos County.

Gu Tong had her own reasons for being willing to play with the other party.

Although they've only been here for two days, they've already made a name for themselves, and many locals know about Gu Tong's group, which dares to challenge the "Jin Feng Group."

If he were willing to take orders now, he could easily take on another 10,000 mu of pasture harvesting orders.

The problem is that he doesn't have enough manpower and harvesters, and he still has six or seven days of work to do, so he simply can't keep up.

So he came to find Ma Yucheng, and at the same time he was preparing to call Ilyas, Kurban, Fan Li and Wang Yu to find more reliable farm machinery operators (who brought their own harvesters) to cooperate with.

These people will become the periphery of the four-person team in the future. If they encounter a situation like Tekos again, they can mobilize ten or dozens of agricultural machines with a single shout.

It's better than letting Li Yong and his Jinfeng Group get away with it!

"I understand, I'll contact them later."

Ma Yucheng nodded, intending to talk to the agricultural machinery dealers he knew about this matter as soon as possible.

Gu Tong got up to say goodbye, and after returning to her room, she immediately started making phone calls and mentioned the matter in the group chat of the four people.

the next day.

Gu Tong had Aikebai lead the team to coordinate the work throughout the process, while he himself drove the integrated silage harvester to keep up with the progress, while maintaining close contact with the outside world.

Today, Aikebai and others were not in good condition, while Liao Laosan's group was determined to catch up and even overtook them at the beginning of the work in the afternoon.

"Don't rush, everyone. Keep up the pace. We're still a long way from finishing. If our opponents start sprinting now, they won't be able to keep up for long before they slow down."

Ai Kebai was actually quite anxious, but he remembered what Gu Tong had said and understood that the key to coordinated agricultural machinery operations was controlling the pace.

Once the rhythm is disrupted, work efficiency will drop significantly.

So he picked up the walkie-talkie and gave instructions to Dong Jun, Ma Dongwen and others.

The team, which had been somewhat chaotic when Liao Laosan's group overtook them, quickly regained its unity and kept pace with each other.

Gu Tong's group gradually caught up with Liao Laosan's group, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

"Family members, the situation is hard to judge right now. The opposing team is clearly going all out and fighting very fiercely."

Gu Tong didn't start the live stream until the afternoon. Although the camera was a bit far away, the competitive dynamics between the two sides could still be seen in the footage.

[Lonely Swordsman]: "It's driving me crazy!"

【Traveling with the Birds】: "Go, Xiao Ai!"

[I Don't Eat Donkey Meat]: "Are they up to the task? Boss, why don't you go and do it yourself?"

The fans' emotions were stirred up; they were even more anxious than the person involved.

"It's okay, I believe in Xiao Ai! Besides, even if we lose today, it's not a big deal. There are still many days of competition to come, let's see who has the last laugh."

Gu Tong was not nervous, nor did he intend to replace Ma Yucheng.

However, his statement drew complaints from fans. One fan, 【Lonely Swordsman】, commented: "Losing is a joke! You have to win every day, and keep winning until the very end."

Until the end of the workday, the two groups had worked on roughly the same area, making it difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye.

Chen Shuyong continued to serve as the evaluator and referee. After compiling today's work data, neither party had any objections.

Then he announced the final result:

The Gu Tong group's operating area is 585 mu, and the Liao Laosan group's operating area is 576 mu.

Gu Tong drove the integrated silage harvester and completed the harvesting of 600 mu in one day, which impressed Aikebai, Ma Yucheng and others.

"Family members, our team won by a narrow margin. 585 mu to 576 mu, you can all sleep well tonight."

Gu Tong announced the victory in the live stream, and the fans cheered.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and looked forward to the upcoming arena battles.

Gu Tong knew when to stop and ended the broadcast.

On the other side, Liao Laosan was encouraging his team members: "Don't be discouraged, brothers! We'll catch up with and surpass them soon! Their farm machinery operators are generally older, and their physical strength is a weakness. We will definitely win."

The team members nodded in agreement. One of them, a man in his thirties wearing a baseball cap, eagerly lit a cigarette for Liao Laosan, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Liao Laosan exhaled a smoke ring, glanced gloomily in the direction where Ma Yucheng was standing, and then led his team members away.

Seeing the smug looks on those people's faces, Ai Kebai and the others felt indignant.

"What's wrong with you guys? Don't forget, you're the victors, and you've won two games in a row. Come on, let's go to town for dinner, it's on me."

Seeing this scene, Chen Shuyong walked over with a grin.

Gu Tong hadn't said anything before, because there were some things that Aikebai and the others needed to process on their own, which was also a major reason why he hadn't participated in the group's collaborative work all day.

"Cadre Chen, how can I let you treat me? I'll treat you today."

Upon hearing that Chen Shuyong was going to treat everyone, Dong Jun quickly stepped forward and said so, while Ma Dongwen also came over to chime in.

Chen Shuyong waved his hand dismissively, then pulled Gu Tong along as they walked into the town.

"Gu Tong, you have already proven your technical capabilities. There are still 2 mu of Shousu that need to be harvested. Do you have the ability to complete this order?"

Gu Tong understood. The so-called challenge was just a test, and passing it was like getting a ticket to the competition.

Clearly, some people in the local area like Jinfeng Group while others don't. So, this little competition will make it easier to divide the pie later.

It seems that after two days of competition, Gu Tong's team has gained recognition.

"Yes! When should the harvesting operation begin?"

Gu Tong was not one to play games; he was determined to take on this 20,000-mu harvest contract.

Chen Shuyong smiled with satisfaction, then took out a detailed map of pasture distribution from his bag, which marked the 20,000 mu of grassland.

"It must begin in three days. Take a look at the distribution map first, and I'll take you to the site for an on-site inspection tomorrow at noon."

Gu Tong took the blueprints without saying anything more.

After having dinner with everyone, Chen Shuyong drove away. Back at the hotel, Gu Tong informed everyone about the incident.

Gu Tong didn't leave his room all night. Apart from replying to a few messages from Gu Lixian, he kept staring at the pasture distribution map on the table.

the next day.

During his lunch break, Gu Tong went with Chen Shuyong to inspect 20,000 mu of grassland and then signed a "Forage Harvesting Service Agreement" with the employers.

The price remains the same as before, with a processing fee of 100 yuan per mu for a period of 10 days.

Back at the work site, Aikbai and others were already busy, so he boarded the integrated silage harvester and began working.

"Aikbai, how's the situation?"

Gu Tong's group gained some advantages in the morning. He returned relatively late, so he asked Aikebai through the walkie-talkie.

"Things are going well. We gradually widened the gap this afternoon, and we're guaranteed a win today!"

Ai Kebai's words were full of confidence, so Gu Tong stopped arguing and focused on operating the machine.

Although he was delayed by some things today, he still maintained a record of 600 mu of work throughout the day. Ai Kebai led his team to victory again, winning the day with 548 mu to 530 mu.

The next day, Ai Kebai, Dong Jun, and others were like they had been injected with chicken blood, sweeping away their previous slump, and their daily work volume reached 579 mu.

Liao Laosan's group also performed well, but their workload today was still lower than that of Gu Tong's group, only 547 mu, truly achieving "consecutive defeats".

After Chen Shuyong announced the results, Liao Laosan was somewhat depressed.

He felt that he and his teammates had done enough, but for some reason, their opponents, who had seemed somewhat exhausted a few days ago, had not fallen and had persisted until now.

Little did he know that, just like Ma Dongwen and Ma Yucheng, they were exhausted every night when they got home.

Dong Jun was a little better, but not by much. The ones with the best physical strength were actually Ai Kebai and Chen Liang.

Ma Dongwen and the others were just gritting their teeth and persevering. They had been bullied by Honghe before and were now being suppressed by Jinfeng Group. They had been holding their breath and didn't want to lose this competition.

But their physical strength has reached its limit, and if they continue with such high-intensity work, it's hard to say how many more days they can last.
