Chapter 565 National Interests
After sending Cai Jinman on the plane, Xian Yaowen came to Yaoyi Investment on Miduo Road.
There were a few pretty girls in Narcissus' office, presumably the young lady who came to discuss financing. He did not go in, but boiled water and made tea on the rooftop.
Prostitution is legal in Singapore. A legal business will not give rise to excessive unreasonableness. A prostitute can redeem herself by working in a prostitution parlor for an agreed number of years. As for the prostitutes who are cash cows, prostitution parlors generally do not resort to shady means to force them to continue working. Instead, they negotiate well and tempt them with more share of the profits.
To put it bluntly, Pipa Zai has a high degree of freedom overall. As long as he is popular enough, he can earn enough money to live comfortably until his death in three to five years. If he is not so popular, he can only work for another three to five years, and if he is careful with his budgeting, he can still make himself live until his death.
Since the banana tickets issued by the Japanese during the Shonan period were not recognized by the colonial regime, the Pipa Zai, who were supposed to become good women around 46 or 47 according to tradition, had to stay in office for a few more years. The past two years have seen a peak in the number of women becoming good women.
It can be said that Narcissus's Pipa Rong came at a good time, as more than a month ago, a Pipa Zai who had turned over a new leaf committed suicide.
The story goes like this: a pipa player named Li was already free at the age of 26. He had saved some money and felt that he was getting old. He thought that if he became unpopular like other old and disabled women, he would be very sad. So he decided to become a good woman and find a good man to marry.
At that time, she even prepared her own dowry and spent two thousand yuan to hold the wedding banquet at Wing Chun Garden in the Great World. It rained heavily that night, but her husband used this as an excuse to not attend her wedding banquet.
With such a start, the situation naturally could not be good afterwards. Not long after the marriage, Li's husband's business failed and he was in debt. He became depressed and frequented casinos, where he incurred another gambling debt.
So, the husband asked Li to use her own private money to pay off the debt. Li agreed, took out the money to help her husband pay off his debts, and set up a small business, expecting her husband to start over.
But how could a gambler who had lost a lot of money and seen the world be content to do small business? As the saying goes, where you fall, you will fall again. When he owed a lot of gambling debts, a kind-hearted creditor suggested, "Your wife turned out to be a slut. Let her sleep with me a few times, and you don't have to pay me back."
As the saying goes, the beginning is always the hardest. Being cuckolded, especially taking the initiative to cuckold yourself, is not easy for any man to accept. There will be a struggle for the first time, a long psychological struggle, and a difficult process of persuasion, but the result is certain.
Once there is a first time, there will be a second time, and once there is a second time, the excessive demands will become even more excessive.
Although Pipazai is a prostitute, her status is like that of the ancient courtesans. Guests will pretend to be very stylish in front of them. It is very unclassy to want to have sex with her before folding a romantic bridge with paper money.
Li was once pampered by a wealthy businessman, but now she has become her husband's bargaining chip. When the number of services cannot be discounted too much, time, place and people become the objects of negotiation.
Conditions such as "right now, right here, and everyone present" were put on the gambling table. Li was unwilling to be humiliated and stabbed his own neck with scissors.
It is precisely because of Li's misfortune that those who want to or have already become good women find that marrying an honest man is not a very reliable idea. After all, money is more reliable. Only by holding on to money and making money can they ensure that they will have enough food and clothing.
You still have to get married to an honest man. After living a lonely life in the world of feasting and drinking, who doesn’t want to have a family? But you have to hold on to your money and hide it well so that the honest man won’t know about it.
Narcissus has flaunted her wealth. The jewelry she wears cannot be bought with the savings of many young men. Narcissus has been cruel. The red butterflies she once plundered were from prostitutes. Narcissus has had relationships with people, but they all came from young men.
Narcissus can be said to be the first person who has transformed most successfully among Pipazai, and it really doesn't take much effort for Piparong to do it.
Xian Yaowen had just finished a cup of tea when Shui Xian sent away the guests. She came over to sit down in front of him with a smile and said, "The few people who came today are all big clients. They raised 85 yuan."
Xian Yaowen chuckled, "Really rich."
Narcissus poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Sister is on the plane?"
"Ah."
"I'll go back early this afternoon to cook."
"Don't bother. I'm going to sit with Li Yueru and She Agui tonight. You can come too."
Narcissus pouted, "I haven't had dinner with the master at home yet."
Xian Yaowen pinched Narcissus's hand and said, "I'm not leaving early tomorrow morning, so we can eat tomorrow. Let's tie a hammock in the woods at night. We can sleep in the hammock and greet the first rays of sunshine in the morning."
Narcissus said jokingly, "Master, aren't you afraid of being carried away by mosquitoes?"
Xian Yaowen pulled Narcissus into his arms, holding her belly with both hands, "Don't be afraid of mosquitoes, just cover yourself with a mosquito net. I'm just afraid it'll be too hot."
"It's windy at night."
"The gentle breeze can't blow away your passion." Xian Yaowen raised his hand and pinched Narcissus's cheek, "I hate your face. Tonight and tomorrow night, I will teach you a lesson. I won't stop until you kneel down and beg for mercy."
Narcissus heard this and laughed, "Master, feel free to use whatever abilities you have. I, He Yixin, will take them all."
"Wow, you're quite arrogant."
"Hehe." Narcissus laughed a bunch of silver bells, then raised her head and kissed Xian Yaowen on the cheek, "Would you like to eat here at noon?"
"Ah."
Narcissus twisted her body and tried to sit up. "I'll go to the next room to check my position."
"No need." Xian Yaowen hugged her, "We are tired of eating in restaurants all the time. There is a Hakka guy selling Yong Tau Foo on Qina Street. I heard that his Yong Tau Foo is delicious. Let's go there to eat Yong Tau Foo and drink Dou Hua."
"You mean Colorful Old Li?"
"not sure."
"It should be him. He is the most famous Hakka guy who makes Yong Tau Foo in Singapore."
"Oh."
At twelve o'clock, the two sat on the side of Chinatown's Cheung Street, a little-known street called Renmei Lane.
A five-foot-high foundation, a square table, a serving of stuffed tofu, a serving of snails, a serving of fried field mouse with soybeans, a bowl of chilled tofu pudding for each person, and a bowl of homemade rice wine with not much alcohol.
Take a sip of wine and put a piece of vole meat into your mouth, it crunches and smells delicious.
Narcissus chewed the field mouse meat, her eyes narrowed into a line. After savoring it carefully, she began to speak: "When I was a child, whenever I was hungry, my sisters and I would go to the fields to catch field mice and dig mouse holes. We could harvest two or three kilograms of millet from digging a mouse hole. We would roast the field mice and stew the millet in the fields. Our stomachs would be full and we could eat for several days."
As she spoke, Narcissus's expression became gloomy. "When I was nine years old, there was a flood in my home. My little sister was sold to a local tycoon in the city by her family. She died within three months. A few years later, I was..."
Xian Yaowen patted the back of Narcissus's hand and said, "Okay, let the unhappy things in the past go and don't think about them anymore. When I was a child, I used to catch crabs and small fish in the ditch. I buried the crabs in the rice seedlings and used the small fish as fertilizer. Even an acre of poor land could produce 320 to 30 kilograms of millet."
Narcissus was surprised and asked, "Can you hit so many?"
Xian Yaowen nodded.
Narcissus said with a complicated look in her eyes: "Master, you never went hungry when you were a child, right?"
“The food is not good, but I can always eat enough.”
"That's great. I've been at home for fourteen years, and I've only had enough to eat for less than half a year."
Xian Yaowen picked up a snail and put it to Narcissus' mouth, "The days of hunger are over. Open your mouth and eat a snail."
Narcissus opened her mouth and held the snail, sucking the juice wrapped around the snail. After she had finished sucking the juice, she made a chirping sound and tried to suck the snail meat. After a long time of chirping, she still could not suck out any snail meat. She sucked the head and the butt, repeatedly, but still could not suck out any snail meat. She could only throw the snail on the table in frustration.
Xian Yaowen chuckled and ate one snail at a time, quite easily.
After eating for a while, he said, "Singapore is too hot, and it's even hotter in the summer. When summer comes, I'll take a few days off to go somewhere cool with you."
"Okay." Narcissus replied happily, "Where are we going?"
"Somewhere closer." Xian Yaowen pretended to think for a while, "I heard that there is a mountain called Ulugali not far from Kuala Lumpur. The altitude there is 5900 feet and the temperature is very low. It is a good place to escape the summer heat."
Narcissus said thoughtfully: "Master, do you want to go to escape the summer heat or go on an inspection trip?"
Xian Yaowen chuckled and said, "I am going to do some research while escaping the summer heat. I read in the information that Ulugari Mountain is located in the tropical rainforest climate zone, with abundant rainfall and a unique natural environment. The temperature remains at around 15 degrees all year round, with no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer.
The air humidity is high and the air is filled with clouds and mist, which can provide a moist growth environment for tea trees and is conducive to the accumulation of substances contained in tea leaves.
There is sufficient sunlight, but it is foggy, so the light received by the tea trees is mostly scattered light, which is conducive to the formation of aromatic substances in the tea leaves.
The soil is fertile, deep, well-drained and acidic, which is very suitable for the growth of tea trees.
It’s a good place to grow oolong tea, and maybe there’s a chance that a famous tea brand will emerge.”
"Master wants to open a tea garden there?"
Xian Yaowen nodded, "On the surface, I have the idea of cultivating a large tea garden there."
Narcissus smiled and said, "What actually happened?"
"In fact, they want to build a Genting Narcissus Manor there and establish the largest gold-selling den in Malaya and even Southeast Asia."
"casino?"
“A comprehensive entertainment estate and summer resort centered on a casino.”
"Genting Narcissus Manor..." Narcissus chewed for a few seconds, "It will cost a lot of money, right?"
Xian Yaowen took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips. "It will take at least 30 to 40 million yuan. I can't afford so much money, and I don't dare to invest so much money in Malaya. If the plan is to be launched, the source of funds will mainly rely on financing. Don't worry about this for now.
In addition, please find me a Malay woman whose family has a certain status in Malaya. I plan to be her son-in-law."
Narcissus filtered out the joke herself, "Master, do you want to befriend the Malays?"
Xian Yaowen nodded, "Malaya is the Malays' Malaya. If you want to make big moves in Malaya, you can't do it without the support of the Malays."
"Master, you can actually leave the matter to me."
Xian Yaowen waved his hand, "You can't do that. You are a pure-blooded Chinese. It's more disadvantageous than advantageous to befriend the Malays. I am half-Tang and it's not easy to be recognized anywhere, but the advantage is that I can swing it around. Finding a Malay woman, it's relatively easy to integrate into the Malay community."
“Even if they integrate, the Malays will not regard the master as one of their own, right?”
Xian Yaowen chuckled, "If bloodlines were reliable, there wouldn't be such a thing as Tangshan people exploiting Tangshan people. Gangs and gangs always require certain commonalities between individuals. Once they have commonalities, the rest is an exchange of interests. Commonalities are just a ticket. They are important when you get in, but not important at other times."
Narcissus thought for a moment and said, "According to what you said, sir, the country and the nation are also a group of interests that are linked together by a commonality?"
"They are essentially the same." Xian Yaowen picked up a piece of vole meat. "When they are extremely hungry, voles will eat other voles, pigs will eat other pigs, not to mention humans. 'Is there anything more delicious than human flesh?' This is what Zhu Can, who lived in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, said.
Qin Zongquan, Zhao Siwan, and Huang Chao all used human flesh as military rations. In the past, whenever there were natural disasters or man-made disasters, cannibalism was common.
Races in the biological realm will kill each other, and so will nations in the historical realm. A country may have multiple nations, and people of the same nation may live in different countries or establish different countries, such as North Korea and South Korea.
Xian Yaowen paused and continued, "North Korea and South Korea are currently at war. This war will eventually end, and there are only three possible outcomes: North Korea wins and South Korea loses; North Korea loses and South Korea wins, and both sides suffer losses.
No matter which side wins, there will always be some benefits. How do you think the benefits will be distributed?
How much can the people who have lost their homes and families because of the war get?
How much can the family of a soldier who died after fighting one or two battles get?
How much will the officer who ordered to take Narcissus Heights at all costs get?
The soldiers who were shooting at each other on the Korean battlefield might be from the same village or clan, or they might be relatives, friends, or even fathers and sons, or brothers. Why were they killing each other?
The answer is in the national interest.
But do they know what the national interest is?"
Xian Yaowen shook his head. "They don't know. Although someone will explain it to them, the person explaining it may not understand it themselves. However, it doesn't matter if they don't understand. As long as they are willing to fight and dare to die, the goal will be achieved. The person explaining it will naturally gain some benefits because of the hard work of explaining it."
Xian Yaowen waved his hands, "Forget it, a few words cannot explain the concept of the country clearly. In short, the greatest significance of the existence of the country is to confine those who create benefits, and to achieve physical isolation between those who create benefits and those who distribute and enjoy benefits.
National interests are maintained by a group of people who gain less but want to gain more, and who instigate and lead a group of people whose interests have nothing to do with themselves to give everything for their protection.
Pig farmers feed their pigs good food, plant mosquito repellent grass in the summer to smoke out mosquitoes, and call a veterinarian when they are sick. It seems that they are caring for their pigs with affection and care, but their real purpose is to slaughter and sell them for profit. Whether the pig farmer is a man or a woman, or his surname is Zhang or Li, it makes no difference to the pigs, as they will all end up being slaughtered.
Narcissus was silent for a long time. "As long as I don't have the final say, it doesn't matter who is in charge."
Xian Yaowen chuckled, "You have this idea, which means that the change in status has not changed your thinking. You still think about things from the most basic perspective."
As he spoke, his face straightened, "The Xian family must safeguard the interests of their country at all costs. If necessary, even a few blood relatives must be sacrificed."
"The premise is that the interests of the country and the interests of the Xian family are consistent?"
"No, it should be said the other way around. The interests of the Xian family are consistent with the interests of the country." (End of this chapter)
