1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 101 Let's See the Truth
"Girls, please protect yourself!"

After forcing Tugou to change his shorts in an almost coercive manner, Mu Liya glanced at Yang Mo with a slightly strange look.
Then she sat down leisurely in front of the tea table in the living room that had hardly been used, as if she was still the owner of the house. She slowly connected the small electric stove and began to boil water to wash the set of blue and white exquisite cups that Yang Mo had shamelessly asked for.

Facing Miss Mu's wary eyes, Yang Mo just smiled, then picked up the heavy Bat-brand floor fan next to the sofa and turned on the switch in the direction of Lu Yingying.

Miss Mu is a fairy-like figure, so she is naturally not afraid of water, fire, cold or heat. But classmate Tu Gou is different. This girl is afraid of heat to begin with, and now she is forced to change into long trousers and long sleeves. There is also a small electric heater next to her. If the fan is not turned on, she might faint on the ground in a while... I don't know why this girl is so obedient to Miss Mu's control. She was clearly beaten up, but when she was asked to change clothes, she actually changed into such a dumpling.

"Sister Mu, where have you been all this time? I haven't seen you for almost a month. I was so worried... If Yang Shidan hadn't said you were busy, I would have thought you were transferred back to Dongying!"

The Tugou classmate, who had just changed into a pair of Liberation Pants, shook his trouser legs uncomfortably, then sat down at the tea table, his complaining tone full of intimacy.

When Miss Mu faced Tugou, she was like two completely different people outside.

He first took out a box of dragon beard candies from his canvas bag and handed it to her, then helped her straighten the collar of her floral shirt: "I have been running around during this period. First I went to Laiwu, then to Qingdao, and finally stayed in the county town for two days... I didn't have time to pick out delicious food for you. I will make it up to you when I have time."

"Wow! It's Jiangnan's Dragon Beard Candy! Great stuff!"

People of this generation have a visceral craze for sweets such as candies. When Tugou looked at the box of dragon beard candies wrapped in cardboard, his eyes immediately lit up with smiles.

Yang Mo looked at the greedy girl beside him in silence, then turned to look at Miss Mu, whose brows were filled with fatigue. "Does that mean... things are basically settled?"

Mu Liya picked up the stoneware pot, and very carefully and elegantly poured boiling water into the tea bowl, then she smoothly served three cups of tea: "Basically, the deal has been settled... Before mid-June, Laiwu Brewing General Factory will allocate a production line for us to do OEM, and even the new packaging bottle shape, bottle cap design and parameters will be handled for us... The county also promised to promote the reorganization of the packaging production, glass factory and a warehousing company in the shortest possible time... The preliminary reorganization will be completed by the end of the month at the latest, and the packaging samples and adjustments of the new brand of beer will not be delayed."

Before the end of this month?

It's almost the end of May now, which means the restructuring will be basically completed in about ten days?
In a state-owned enterprise, a reimbursement of 17 yuan may take 20 to 30 days to complete the process. How can you basically handle three units in ten days?
Tsk tsk, the more you compare yourself to others, the more you will suffer. She is indeed a young lady with a strong background. The efficiency of “special matters handled specially” is quite high!

After a slight sigh, Yang Mo laughed, "As expected, you are the foreign aid hired by President Wang. If you can handle the packaging production, bottle body production, bottle cap production, warehouse management, logistics transportation, customs declaration and other links, you should be able to help the company find and solve the employment of at least one or two hundred people, right?"

As a fast-moving consumer product, the number of employees in the beer industry is directly proportional to its business scale. At first glance, it seems that Miss Mu has forcibly inserted people into these restructured companies and taken away their jobs. But in fact, as long as this line with South Korea can be opened up, how many more jobs can be expanded than just one or two hundred people?

Miss Mu just smiled and said, "One or two hundred jobs? Mr. Wang finally agreed to do me a favor, and I only helped him solve one or two hundred jobs. How can I face him?"

At this point, Mu Liya smiled meaningfully: "You know, Mr. Wang's plan is to hope that I can at least take over the employment issues of the families after the Mo Mo Bai Zha project fails!"

Lu Yingying, who was holding a teacup and studying what kind of jasmine tea was in it and why it smelled so good, was incredulous when she heard this: "Sister Mu, you mean... Mr. Wang started to do it a month ago?"

Seeing the girl's surprised look, Yang Mo rolled his eyes at her: "I told you that different positions mean different information abundance and different vision... When you are in Mr. Wang's position, all the moves are clear, it just depends on whether you can understand them or not."

"It's not the first time that the country has suffered huge losses due to the use of counterfeit electrical components. The cabinet has been trying to rectify the three major counterfeiting centers represented by Wenzhou for a long time... As long as you have access to those internal documents and try to figure out the direction of the wind every day, you will naturally know that the cabinet had planned to take action as early as two months ago... Those reports of sudden and frequent accidents in the newspapers are just hype."

"That is to say, Mr. Wang knew that purchasing a large number of substandard or non-targeted electrical parts during this period would cause problems, so he pretended to know nothing and watched Section Chief He violate the rules, and waited until the right time to give them a heavy blow, making it impossible for them to recover... In fact, if Mr. Wang's position as the top leader was not very sensitive and he could not easily use dirty tricks, I almost thought that he had specially invited those two guests."

When Lu Yingying heard this, her face suddenly fell... Who has the time to study the information and trends contained in those documents every day!

Seeing her acting so cowardly, Yang Mo didn't care much. He drank the cup of jasmine tea, which was either eight or nine scents, and praised her. Then he asked directly, "More than one or two hundred positions? ... Miss Mu, are you kidding me?"

Mu Liya smiled lightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "I'm not kidding you. Although with the current scale, only doing beer peripheral production can at most increase the number of jobs by more than a hundred people, but...what if even the procurement and inspection of brewing raw materials are handed over to me?"

! ! ! ?
Hearing this, Yang Mo looked at her in disbelief.

Seeing this, Mu Liya smiled even more brightly: "I have already agreed with Laiwu Brewing General Factory that no matter what, this OEM beer will continue to be exported... If South Korea doesn't work, we will go to the island countries, and if the island countries don't work, we will go to Southeast Asia. If that doesn't work, we will switch from exports to domestic sales and develop in the southern coastal cities... In other words, no matter whether it will be unsalable or not, the production line of this beer will not stop within five years."

"Therefore, the right to purchase raw materials and control the quality of this private label beer falls into my hands... Laiwu Brewing General Factory will tell us all the requirements for the varieties of wheat and hops and the purchasing standards. They will even share with us the research content on wheat planting technology and soil selection. They are only responsible for processing and production!"

At this point, Miss Mu sipped her tea and said, "Yang Mo, you also grew up in the countryside. You should know that the three raw materials of barley, wheat, and hops may not seem to be much, but in fact, how many jobs can they provide?"

Of course Yang Mo knew, more than just knew, he knew it too well.

At present, when standardized cultivation has not yet been popularized in the country, let alone purchasing three standard wine-making raw materials, if the usage is large, purchasing enough of one raw material is an extremely arduous task... There is no other reason, just because of the word "standard".

From seed selection to site selection, from sowing to fertilization, from spraying pesticides to pest and disease management, from length of sunshine to purchase and grading, every link requires a large number of technicians and staff to do ideological work and technical guidance, and even security forces are needed to maintain on-site law and order during purchase.

One reality that we have to accept is that people these days have no idea about standardized planting, and their perception of the value of various food crops is limited to "edible" and "inedible". If you tell them anything else, they basically think you are fooling them.

If you tell them during the purchase that the price of Grade 1 barley of variety A is 1 cent per pound, but the price of Grade 2 barley of variety B is only 5 cents per pound, they will turn against you in a minute and block you, do you believe it?

Don’t think this is a joke. There was a piece of news that was very sensational at the time:
In 1984, a French wine company in Tianjin was besieged by numerous grape growers because the wine grapes produced by these growers did not meet the purchase standards, and some grape varieties were not the Cabernet Sauvignon varieties stipulated in the agreement, so they were refused to be purchased;
But the growers do not agree with this reason. They think that they are all grapes and can be eaten and used to make wine. Why do you care whether it is Cabernet Sauvignon or not? You don’t care whether it meets your purchase standards... At most, I can sell it to you at a lower price, but you can't bully us ordinary people and say you don't want to buy it.

Anyone who knows anything about wine knows which party is at fault in this matter, and they all understand that this is not a question of whether to lower the price or not;
But this happened openly and aboveboard, and under the coordination of the local administrative unit, the French company had no choice but to purchase the grapes at a low price.
This is a lose-lose situation.

People fail to earn the money they deserve because they do not realize the value of "standards";

Because the French companies failed to receive raw materials that met the standards, they had to throw away the grapes after paying the money and gave up the idea of ​​building a winery locally; the competent authorities did not realize the value of the word "standard" in international business. They seemed to be the good guys on both sides, but failed to please both sides.

But fortunately, there was such an embarrassing story in retrospect. After reviewing it, some competent authorities finally had a preliminary awareness of standardization, and in the following years, they began to pay more and more attention to it... If you know something about the development history of the supply and marketing system, you will know that since the mid-to-late 1980s, supply and marketing cooperatives across the country have begun to gradually popularize the concept of standardized planting to farmers, and set an example by starting to purchase crops of different varieties and standards in different grades.

Of course, this is an extremely long process, and it is impossible to make all farmers change their mindsets in just a few years.

This gave birth to an operating procedure that is very characteristic of the times... Since farmers' concepts cannot be changed all at once, we should take the initiative to change them.

Therefore, whenever there is a slightly larger scale of commercial raw material procurement involved, more technicians suddenly appear in the fields. They will give you on-site guidance on everything from planting to fertilizing and spraying pesticides, and even light management, and they will even call the village party secretary over to help you with ideological work.

Since the number of links increases, the number of people needed will naturally increase... In many cases, the technical personnel and staff of the Agricultural Bureau and the supply and marketing cooperatives are not enough.

What if it’s not enough?
It's simple. Since we can't expect these public institutions to increase their staffing, the enterprises can just fill in the staff themselves...and if you think about it carefully, it's not that difficult. With a maximum of half a month of intensive training, employees with normal intelligence and attitude can learn the basic points of their own agricultural raw material planting and management.

You have to know that Qilu and Henan are not quite the same. Although Qilu is also a major agricultural province, the land for concentrated large-scale cultivation is actually not as much as outsiders think. In addition, given the current unique environment, the land used for commercial raw material cultivation is basically scattered.

Although it is not good news that the cultivated land is too fragmented, it is definitely a good thing for current drilling companies!

Dispersed planting = more manpower required in each link = more jobs.

It's that simple!
Although the OEM craft beer project is still in the market entry stage and its scale will not be large, even with a conservative output of 2 tons/year, the jobs generated in the raw material planting guidance and procurement links will not be less than 300 people (here specifically referring to drilling companies. Normal companies will arrange 30 to 50 people at most, but the purpose of drilling companies is different. They just need to use the profits from the beer project to support these family members).

Students who have worked in foreign trade should know that as far as beer is concerned, 2 tons/year is not a big number. However, considering the extremely delicate relationship between China and South Korea, as long as the private-label beer produced by Laiwu Brewery can relatively meet the tastes of South Korean consumers, let alone 2 tons/year, even multiplying it by 20 is a easy number.

300 plus 200 is 500, which is close to 1/10 of the total number of family members in the drilling company, and even twice as many as the Silent Hundred Bombings Project!
Not to mention that the Mo Mo Bai Zha project has encountered huge troubles now and is at risk of collapse at any time. Even if it doesn't, this result can completely crush Director Zhang and his team.

Tsk tsk~
General Manager Wang Yinuo stepped forward in the critical moment, and not only took in more than 200 family members of the Mo Mo Bai bombers, but also created nearly 300 additional jobs...

Damn it, this is totally the template for the protagonist in a novel!

Given the strong contrast between the two sides, if nothing unexpected happens in between, do you want General Manager Wang to step down and let others take over by the end of the year?
Dream on you!

………………

Just as Yang Mo was touching his chin and sighing, Mu Liya suddenly smiled softly:
"Yang Mo, we will soon become rivals... Please show some mercy and don't make things too awkward for me!"

Hearing this, Yang Mo looked at her in surprise: "We are about to become rivals... Miss, what rumors have you heard?"

Mu Liya raised her hand and quietly poured Yang Mo another cup of tea. "I heard on the way back that Vice President Xia and his friends suddenly went to Director Zhang's house with some wine tonight to reminisce about the past... It was said that they visited the labor union's photo wall in the afternoon and couldn't help missing their old comrades."

"They? Besides Vice President Xia, who else?" Yang Mo keenly sensed the unfinished words.

Mu Liya glanced at him and suddenly smiled with some emotion: "In fact, there is no one, except Vice President Xia, there is just one more Vice President Feng... It is said that Secretary Xie also wanted to go with him to learn and admire the glorious deeds of the predecessors, but was rejected by Vice President Feng."

Vice President Feng?
Vice President Feng who is in charge of relations between workers and peasants! ?

Hearing this name appearing continuously, Yang Mo fell into deep thought.

He always felt that the relationship between that fat guy and the Department of Industry and Agriculture was a bit weird, and there was an awkwardness between him and Yang Jin, the head of the Department of Industry and Agriculture, which outsiders could not understand.

Could it be...?
Yang Mo took a breath with some toothache.

Miss Mu was not surprised that Secretary Xie's name suddenly appeared in her mouth.

During the communication meeting for the establishment of the tertiary industry project, he felt that there was something wrong with this nominal right-hand man of General Manager Wang... It was because, as a secretary in the general manager's office, this man was too easy to fool and too easy to deal with. This was totally unlike the attitude and level that a general manager's secretary should have.

The matter became even clearer some time ago when Jiang, a staff member of the Finance Department and also a close confidant of Wang Yinuo, "blow himself up" and used the General Manager's Office as a warning to the business guidance group, bringing the serious problems of Mo Mo Bai Zha to the surface and making it an unavoidable topic.

Tsk tsk~!

It seems that the fat guy can't hold on tonight. I don't know how he is doing.

After thinking for a while, Yang Mo stretched his body and stretched out his right hand towards Mu Liya: "I can't dodge it... Miss Mu, then let's see who's the winner... I promised you, you can't cry if you lose!"

Seeing the big hand in front of her, Mu Liya was stunned, and then she laughed happily, and inexplicably: "Okay, let's see what you can do... Please let me see your skills!"

PS:
Hey, hey, hey, isn't that right?
There is actually more than one person who has watched "The Debt", a TV series that is older than me?
I even hummed the lyrics.
I originally thought this TV series was unpopular...how embarrassing.
