"It's pretty smooth, it's just taking some more water."

Well site.

Wang Manyin met Zhang Yonghao.

The latter has been staying in the well site for this period of time, which has implemented the responsibilities of the person in charge to the end.

He himself also knew that today was different from the past.

If it were before, I would not have been in the well site for a long time. I have always been the boss.

But now it won't work.

He is no longer the boss of the well-driving team, but he still owes a lot of debts, relying on the 10% stake given to him by Wang Manyin to make a comeback.

If there is no more responsibility, it is not impossible for Wang Manyin to kick him away when he is unhappy.

"A water leakage occurred a few days ago, which cost about 1,000 cubic meters of water. In other aspects, it is relatively normal."

Zhang Yonghao continued.

A well from drilling to completion does not mean that there is no smooth sailing situation at all.

It can only be said that most well-driving teams will encounter some accidents and cause some additional losses.

In these additional losses.

As long as the price is not particularly exaggerated, it can be accepted.

Take the well that Wang Manyin and his friends are digging now for example. It only consumes more water, and it doesn’t cost much money.

It's indeed very thankful.

Zhang Yonghao has a very strong say in this regard.

I think when he was the boss of the well drilling team, the losses accomplished by an accidental fire were huge.

"I guess I'll be able to stop drilling later."

Wang Manyin asked.

Normally.

After drilling a well until now, the specific time for drilling is not up to the drilling team.

Instead, it is up to whether there is oil underground or not.

All the well-driving teams can know is just a rough depth.

For example, before the well drilling begins, analyze it based on factors such as the terrain of the well site, and combined with past experience in drilling wells, we finally come up with a rough figure, how deep the well should be dug.

For example, this well is planned to stop drilling at 2,000 meters.

Then when the oil has been discharged before the depth reaches 2,000 meters, it is obvious that you can stop drilling directly.

When the depth has reached 2,000 meters, or even more than 2,000 meters, there is no oil yet, then you have to stop drilling.

But at this time everyone knew that they had made a dry hole without oil.

"The final depth we planned before drilling is less than 200 meters, so the worst result is to stop drilling tomorrow morning."

Zhang Yonghao said so.

In fact, he is very nervous now.

The indicator of Grandpa Pi was brought by Wang Manyin, and the reason was based on intuition.

So he has always been skeptical about whether the well can be really oiled and has never been confident.

The worst case he just mentioned is actually to make a dry hole.

If that is true, it would be less angry, but it would be helpless.

Fortunately, I have suffered for so long, and the bitter feeling is inevitable.

"There are at least 5 well drilling teams in Huangshi Township that are similar to us. As far as I know, no well has produced oil so far. Three of them are like us, and they have reached the final stage. As for the other two, they have officially announced that they have stopped drilling, and they are directly two dry holes."

Zhang Yonghao said again.

This is obviously not good news for them.

Wang Manyin did not speak anymore, but started to wander around the well ground.

Strictly speaking.

Their well site is not very large. The people who were responsible for pushing the well site at the time only barely pushed out a well site area that just met the requirements of the oil production plant.

Compared with those large well sites, it is actually a bit stingy.

But this is also normal.

Those who are in charge of pushing the well are also very smart.

They contracted the job from the oil production plant, so of course they save costs and how they do it.

"Old Liang, are you missing home?"

Wang Manyin met Liang Mancang, a water collector, by the reservoir.

I saw that the latter was holding a cigarette in his hand, sitting on the cement bag, looking northeast, dazed.

He knew very well that Liang Mancang was from Henan and his hometown was just northeast.

"boss"

Seeing Wang Manyin, Liang Mancang immediately stood up.

They have different identities when they first met.

Wang Manyin is now the elusive boss of the well-draining team, and to some extent, he is in control of Liang Mancang's fate.

So what else can he do besides respect? Even in terms of age, he is enough to be Wang Manyin's uncle.

But how much can these names be worth in this cruel society?

Liang Mancang has been struggling in this society for so many years and has always been at the bottom of the society. He empathizes with it too much.

"Lao Liang, if you really miss home, you can take the time to go back and have a look."

Wang Manyin had no airs and sat directly beside Liang Mancang and handed a cigarette to the latter.

If it were another boss, maybe I really couldn't understand what Liang Mancang and others had experienced, and I didn't know what they were thinking about in their hearts.

But his Wang Manyin is different.

In his previous life, he experienced no fewer things than Liang Mancang and others.

I am very aware of this feeling of being at the bottom of society.

"Forget it, not to mention the long journey back and forth, it will take a lot of money alone."

Liang Mancang shook his head.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to go home to see him, but that the conditions do not allow it.

If you leave the well team for a long time and go home, you will be deducted from your salary. In addition, you will be in a variety of expenses along the way, the cost of going home is really too high.

For those of them, who have left their home thousands of miles away, they can only go home for two or three months every year in winter.

Don't even think about it any other time.

For example, the Dragon Boat Festival some time ago.

They can only pass by the well-driving team.

"If you really want to go back, just go find Lao Yan. I won't let Lao Yan deduct his salary. Anyway, the well is immediately broken, so how many days can everyone rest?"

Wang Manyin glanced at Liang Mancang and said seriously.

It is precisely because of the difficult life that Wang Manyin can better understand Liang Mancang and others.

For this reason, he decided to set a rule for his well-driving team.

Workers can go home to visit relatives during the drilling shutdown, and the well team will not deduct wages during this period.

"Forget it, there is probably nothing wrong with this well. Let's not rest anymore and go to the next well site as soon as possible."

Liang Mancang sighed.

Like Zhang Yonghao, he also did not think that this well could produce oil.

Because the terrain here in Grandpa Pond is too convex, it doesn't look like it's possible to produce oil coordinates.

Based on years of experience in drilling wells, the terrain that is not too steep and concave is more likely to produce oil.

"Who said our well has a dry hole?"

Wang Manyin asked back.

On the other side.

In other words, a huge sound suddenly came from the drilling platform more than twenty meters away.

The two stood up and looked back.
