I Operate Excavators and Become the King of Infrastructure

Synopsis

Yang Zheng, a top-tier excavator operator, once partnered with his paternal uncle Zhao Tiezhu on infrastructure projects, with an agreement to split all profits fifty-fifty. After the project turned a profit, Zhao Tiezhu broke his word: he slashed Yang Zheng’s 3 million-yuan share of dividends to a mere 30,000 yuan, and even bullied Yang Zheng’s family without restraint. Saving up 50,000 yuan, Yang Zheng bought a second-hand excavator and struck out on his own. Blessed with unmatched expertise in geological assessment and construction techniques, he took on urgent, high-risk jobs that no other contractor dared to touch, quickly building a stellar reputation across the industry. He later assembled a fleet of machinery and founded his own company, expanding his business to the provincial capital and hitting an annual turnover of over 100 million yuan. Zhao Tiezhu, by contrast, ended up impoverished and destitute. Choosing kindness over resentment, Yang Zheng offered him a steady job. He also set up a training base to pass down his craft, lifting fellow villagers to shared prosperity and completing his remarkable rags-to-riches comeback.
