Siheyuan: Rebirth of a comfortable life starts with Shazhu

Lao Lu was gone for half an hour, and He Yuzhu took the opportunity to fry some peanuts at their company cafeteria.

As for having drinks, nothing tastes better than this.

Today's topic of conversation is Comrade Xiao Lan's new romance.

It's said that a young woman in her early twenties is now pursuing Comrade Xiao Lan.

"Is that woman pretty?" He Yuzhu asked gossipily.

Old Lu nodded, his face serious. He wasn't telling He Yuzhu this because he was also gossipy.

It's the issue that He Yuzhu mentioned before: Comrade Xiao Lan might change.

He felt that if Xiao Lan was going to change, the problem lay with his new girlfriend, Xiao Fang.

Unlike He Yuzhu, who never had a high opinion of Xiao Lan.

Actually, Lao Lu values ​​Xiao Lan quite a bit.

His workplace involves dealing with all sorts of strange and unsavory characters.

So I've seen quite a few people like Xiao Lan who have been confused and made mistakes in the past.

He always felt that as long as a person was willing to change, it wasn't a problem.

Especially someone like Xiao Lan, who has been abroad before, had a glorious past, and has lived a simple life in Taiwan.

If he can reform himself and put all his energy and past experience into his work, he will be an invaluable talent.

But this woman's appearance made Lao Lu doubt his previous judgment.

They had also investigated the woman named Xiao Fang.

He didn't come from a good family; his ancestors and father worked as compradors before the liberation.

This didn't make Lao Lu look down on her; after all, one's family background isn't something one can choose.

However, Xiao Fang's behavior in Beijing after returning to the city made him very hesitant.

This woman is a bit like a socialite from the Paramount Ballroom before liberation; she can get involved with anyone.

She's very good at playing the role of a thug or hooligans.

She knew a few of the few foreigners in Beijing these days.

Furthermore, this woman is not very clean in her personal life.

It is said that all she could think about was finding a way to get out.

They have absolutely no attachment to our extended family.

The fact that someone like that was hanging out with Xiao Lan made Lao Lu very worried.

He Yuzhu raised his glass and laughed, "You're just worrying unnecessarily."

They always try to imagine the worst possible consequences for everything.

What's so serious about it?

You have leverage over this kind of person. If he dares to act recklessly, expose his collusion with his cronies to instigate a Taiwanese gang to kidnap his wife.

A gentleman can be dealt with using gentlemanly methods.

But when dealing with petty people, you have to be even more petty than them.

No, you shouldn't treat those people like human beings.

He Yuzhu made no attempt to hide his dislike for Xiao Lan in his words.

Why should he be hypocritical towards people he doesn't like?
Old Lu was speechless with disappointment. He realized that he and He Yuzhu were not on the same page.

His concern was whether Xiao Lan was still usable and whether she could be reused.

But what did He Yuzhu say?
Is it the kind of thing our system should do to let him use his weakness to blackmail us?
It has a bit of a gangster vibe.

Lao Lu felt he had chosen the wrong topic from the start; with He Yuzhu's stubborn temper, talking about people he didn't like in front of him was pointless.
There's definitely nothing nice coming out of his dog mouth.

Old Lu paused for a moment before changing the subject and saying, "Old He, are those counterfeit and shoddy products you mentioned the things you care about the most?"
I see you wrote thirteen pages this time.

He Yuzhu held the wine glass to his nose, smelling the unique aroma of time inside, and said, "No, counterfeit and shoddy goods are actually the least of my worries."

These situations can be avoided if the rules are set.

No matter how rampant the problem becomes, the market will ultimately decide everything.

"The market decides everything?" Old Lu was quite surprised; he wasn't very knowledgeable about business. "Yes, just like the wine we're drinking..."

He Yuzhu pointed to the jar of wine in front of him and said, "This is Fenjiu, which is considered a mainstream high-end liquor on the market."

He Yuzhu tapped his finger lightly on the wine jar and said, "I remember in 2015, this wine won a first-class medal in Panama, and its reputation spread far and wide, leading to a surge in market demand."

At that time, around the Fenjiu production area, various small wineries would imitate Fenjiu.

At that time, it was known as "wherever there is wine, there is Fenjiu".

There used to be a group of people in Beijing who took pride in being able to distinguish whether a product was genuine Fenjiu.

After all, people like that have a considerable market.
I can still make a living with this skill.

Of course, some of those people in later generations became experts in wine tasting.

There is no problem with that.

There are 360 ​​professions, and every profession can produce an expert.

After liberation, the sale of liquor was integrated with the supply and marketing cooperatives, and counterfeiting disappeared.

But believe it or not, once reform and opening up take place and the market is liberalized...

This winery might be ruined by counterfeit alcohol.

In the past, people who made counterfeits used the trick of using no-name brands to impersonate famous brands.

It's hard to say what will happen next; it's uncertain whether or not you can drink it.

But the distillery may be destroyed, but the brand can be rebuilt.

"As long as we establish clear rules that eliminate any room for counterfeit alcohol, these problems can all be solved."

He Yuzhu is clearly drunk and letting loose, saying rather bold things.

For example, after the reform and opening up of Fujian, the province was really ripped off by counterfeit and shoddy products for a long time.

There's no other reason than that it sells all categories of products, and all of them are quite popular, which has attracted the attention of counterfeiters.

If this wine had paid more attention to its market reputation at the time, it wouldn't have achieved the dominant market position that Maotai enjoys today.

But later, the authorities began to pay attention to the counterfeit market.

This winery has revitalized itself by rebranding.

"Then what do you think is the most important thing?" Old Lu asked tentatively.

He Yuzhu didn't say anything. Instead, he dipped his finger into the wine glass and wrote the character "文" on the table.

Old Lu thought for a moment and asked in surprise, "Is it the one where you wrote a piece of paper?"
What do you mean, foreign devils would do anything to us at WHQL?

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded.

The reason he didn't write much about some things is because it only started after the reform and opening up, and it would be inappropriate to talk about those things now.

But what he could see in his past life was that certain things, based on hearsay, had messed up our entire social atmosphere.

He Yuzhu downed the wine in his cup in one gulp, then lightly tapped the table and said, "Many things are interesting because we don't understand them."

The income gap between us and the foreigners is now too obvious.

This is a fact.

……

And then there's the issue of gender equality...

"

He Yuzhu mentioned several aspects, and Lao Lu nodded in confusion.

He Yuzhu chuckled again: "I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves eyeing me."

That's just how things are.

Since we are going to reform and open up, we should introduce advanced technologies at the same time.

It will inevitably bring in some dross.

Don't underestimate those things..." (End of Chapter)
