1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 179 Chapter 176 In the snow, it’s hard to say who will deliver charcoal to whom!
Even though Yang Mo suddenly jumped out to stir up trouble, the conflict did not continue... Yang Tianxing had just uttered a few dirty words when someone covered his mouth and dragged him out of the crowd.

"Director Yang, I'm really sorry for making a fool of myself today."

"I have received instructions from General Manager Cao. They have decided to hold an emergency meeting in the next two days to discuss and vote on whether to launch a campaign to rectify the random charges and market disruptions that have occurred in various township markets in the near future... Director Yang, rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory explanation when the time comes."

The middle-aged man glared at Yang Tianxing, who was walking out to the street reluctantly in the distance, and then turned his head and said with an embarrassed look.

………………

This man's surname is Zheng. He is the head of the police force in charge of this area. He is also responsible for the personal safety of Yang Mo and others in this area, and the superior of the plainclothes governors who accompanied them.

Just like the head of the East Depot rarely wore flying fish suits, people like Captain Zheng usually didn't wear uniforms on weekdays.

Logically speaking, local and central enterprises are not in the same system. No matter how powerful Yang Mo, the so-called deputy director, is, he is not qualified to call people over with just one phone call.

In fact, Captain Zheng was not called over by Yang Mo...or rather, he was not called over by Yang Mo directly, but he came over "on his own initiative".

The reasons are not complicated:

The special working group that Yang Mo is in is quite special. In addition to the great cause of "solving the triangular debt problem of local enterprises", all the actions during this period have been coordinated with the competent authorities of Linyi County... Seeing this sponsor continuously pouring money in, departments such as the county supply and marketing system, the county agricultural bureau, the foreign trade bureau, the industry and commerce and other departments now bend their eyes when they see the people from their special working group.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but this year is the year of the change of leadership, and the county really hopes that the special working group can make some achievements to give them more confidence... Everyone in the system knows that our country implements the "official system". Generally speaking, the top two leaders of the competent departments at the county level and above are often not locals. Of course, there are checks and balances in the middle, but it is also inevitable that arm wrestling is regarded as the norm.

Therefore, this was the important reason why the executive made the decision to hold a meeting without any hesitation after receiving Miss Mu’s report.

Although they were instructed by someone, the reason given by Miss Mu was also very convincing... The business environment at the grassroots level was not good, and the special working group was very worried about whether the 7 million yuan would have the desired effect.

Therefore, there was almost no surprise that after Captain Zheng received the call for accountability from General Manager Cao, he immediately rushed over without stopping... Linyi County is very small, so small that the relationship between Miss Mu and Yang Mo is not a secret in the eyes of many people, and it is also small enough that one can find out what happened in Xinglong Town today with just one phone call.

………………

Hearing Captain Zheng emphasize the words "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself in front of you" and "I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation when the time comes", and recalling the incident when someone suddenly covered Yang Tianxing's mouth, how could Yang Mo not see the trick?
He laughed out loud, "Just let us know in advance that we won't drink... I can't hold my alcohol, I'll get drunk if I touch this stuff, and then I'll make a fool of myself."

After hearing this incoherent remark, Captain Zheng was stunned for a moment, then he started laughing: "Okay, okay, Yang Tianxing is just a scoundrel who hangs out in the village, and he has no right to toast you, Director Yang. Since you don't like to drink, forget it... But don't worry, Director Yang, I won't let you lose face in front of your friends."

Yang Mo grinned: "Okay, okay!"

Although his face showed the frivolous look of youthfulness and greed, he had already made up his mind that if the rectification meeting in the county was passed, he would find someone to pass on some dirty laundry and completely crush Yang Tianxing.

This is not to say that Yang Mo is really loyal to his friends, or that he hates evil.

But as a person who has been reborn, he knows too well what kind of person Yang Tianxing is.

Let me put it this way, in later generations, Linyi County did not have a very good reputation in terms of local celebrities, and among them, "Ma in the North and Yang in the South" were the most famous. Compared with these two family-like cancers, the group of local celebrities including the one who locked the reporter in the compound can only be described as petty fights... They have basically done all the bad things you can think of, and they have also done a lot of things you have never thought of.

Even Yang Mo from his previous life was one of the victims; after his parents moved to the south with him, the few acres of land in their hometown were forcibly rented out by Yang Tianxing's subordinates at a price of 100 yuan per acre per year. The old house in the courtyard was also forcibly changed to industrial land by them using some unknown method. Together with several surrounding courtyards, they directly flattened it and built a so-called service area. They teamed up with those long-distance drivers and forced the sale of some incomprehensible local specialties in it.

Yang Mo has always believed that the reason why the two elders passed away so early in the later generations with advanced medicine has a lot to do with this incident. After all, they have lived in the countryside all their lives, and that land is their roots. Even their old house has been razed to the ground. How could they not be depressed?
Mr. Yang, who had worked on a sewing machine for several years, did not consider himself a good person. With his enemy from his previous life in front of him, he naturally wanted to find ways to be ruthless...

Ah……

Under the model of debt replacement + low-price targeted commodity purchase led by the special working group, there will inevitably be many villagers in Linyi County who will take their commodities to the market to do business. The existence of guys like Yang Tianxing will definitely pose a major threat to the accelerated circulation of commodities deliberately created... At this point in time, who else can we pull out if not him?
………………

"Master Xiao Yang, thank you for this time!"

"I used to think you were different from the other Qilu people. Although you are capable, you are a little too slick. But today... Hehe, as expected, you Qilu people are still quite loyal in your bones!"

Seeing Captain Zheng find an excuse to leave, Sun Jian came over and handed him a Huang Hongmei with a grin.

Obviously, he didn't know the cause and effect, and just thought that Yang Mo, who happened to meet him, helped him just because of the few times they had interacted.

Yang Mo took the discontinued Huang Hongmei and looked at the shirt and the leather shoes with bald fronts. He said, "Captain Sun, didn't you say that Xialiu Sales Agency received the penalty from South Korea and did a good job in the past two months? You are a sales manager, how come you are doing so poorly?"

If Yang Mo remembered correctly, when this guy was in the drilling company, he either smoked Daifuku or Red Panda, or at least Longzui Hongtashan. This Huang Hongmei might be a good cigarette for ordinary people, but for Captain Sun, who used to be very successful, it is undoubtedly a downgrade.

Hearing what Yang Mo said, Sun Jian covered the half pack of Red Pandas in his chest pocket as if to guard against thieves: "First of all, these Red Pandas are business cigarettes. I have no money now, and this half pack of good cigarettes will last me a week! Besides... I treat you as a friend, Master Xiao Yang, so I gave you the Huang Hongmei that I smoke. If I really gave you Red Pandas, I would be treating you as an outsider!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mo burst into laughter.

I have to say that although Sun Jian is not very educated, he is really good at dealing with people. He is obviously reluctant to give away the good cigarettes, but his words make you seem to have to admit that he thinks highly of you.

But it was obvious that Yang Mo, who shared the same view on this issue, was very fond of it, and without any hesitation, he lit the slightly wrinkled yellow red plum in his hand.

Waving his hand, signaling his little disciple who was like a tail to stay away, Yang Mo whispered: "Old Sun, what's going on? Could it be that you are not doing well in Xialiu Sales Agency? ... Also, didn't you only invest the early retirement compensation but didn't touch your savings over the years? How did you get to the point where you can't even afford to buy a new set of clothes?"

If Yang Mo remembered correctly, after the Chinese New Year, Captain Sun took the tens of thousands of yuan in retirement compensation and joined the Xialiu Sales Agency, and then took the position of business manager as agreed.

You have to know that this was 1989. Even though prices had been skyrocketing for more than half a year, tens of thousands of yuan was still a figure that ordinary people could hardly afford. If you told someone about this kind of money in exchange for 1% of the shares of a village collective enterprise plus the position of a business manager, eight out of ten people would probably think you were crazy.

Moreover, Sun Jian used to be the captain of the well team. Although the work was hard and dangerous, his salary, benefits and bonuses were absolutely the first line even within the drilling company. Over the years, even if this guy liked to spend lavishly, the money he saved must be at least 20,000 or 30,000, right?

In other words, even if he didn't get a penny of salary or dividends after joining the Xialiu Sales Agency, with the current price level, his personal savings alone would be enough to live a leisurely life for two or three years.

But the situation before us...

When Yang Mo asked this, Sun Jian waved his hand nonchalantly: "I am now working happily in Xialiu Sales Agency. Although you may still have some resistance to Lao Yan, he is actually a man of his word. After joining the sales agency, no matter how difficult it is, my monthly salary will be paid on time, and the semi-annual dividends will be paid in full!"

As he spoke, Sun Jian shook his still somewhat outdated floral shirt and grinned, "As for my savings... the 40,000 yuan I saved from the drilling company over the years has already been paid into the company along with my salary. Now even if I run into a roadblocker, they can't find even 50 yuan from my pocket!"

Nani?

Not only did you invest your early retirement compensation, but you also invested your savings and salary over the years? Are you sure you weren't bewitched by Yan Laoxi?

Yang Mo's lips twitched a few times, and he looked at him strangely: "The savings of the small 40,000 plus your salary for the past six months...how many shares did Mr. Yan promise you? When I see you in the future, should I also call you Mr. Sun?"

Sun Jian laughed out loud: "What do you mean by always or not? If you tell others about it, they will laugh at you! Master Xiao Yang, you know that our Xialiu Sales Cooperative is a company in which everyone in the village has a stake. It is also a commune in nature. How can it be so easy to divide your shares... I took the initiative to lend the money to the commune!"

"Lend it? Or lend it to the society instead of to Old Xi Yan?"

Yang Mo’s mouth was so big that he could almost fit an egg in it. He really wanted to say to this guy, if someone is watching you and it’s inconvenient to tell the truth, just blink your left eye.

This kind of loan that does not distinguish between public and private has always been the most taboo business in finance, and it is also the easiest to generate bad debts. If you are unlucky and Xialiu Sales Agency goes bankrupt, you will not be able to get it back; even if it is kept on the company's account for a long time, if it is delayed for a few years and encounters a tax audit after the tax reform, it may be classified as tax evasion, and then 20% personal income tax will be collected on the interest on the commercial loan.

Seeing Yang Mo's expression, Sun Jian touched his nose speechlessly. "In fact, Mr. Yan refused to take it at first. Later, I had no choice but to find the accountant of the company. After we discussed it, it became a fait accompli... In other words, I lent the money to the company desperately, and Mr. Yan almost scolded the accountant Lao Wang and made him cry afterwards."

Yang Mo's eyelids twitched and he could only chuckle twice.

It seems that not only have you been completely brainwashed by Yan Laoxi, but the management of Xialiu Distribution Agency is also problematic... An accountant dares to record private loans in the company account without the permission of the general manager. If such a thing happens in the future, the accountant will be sued!
Seeing the sneer and disapproval on Yang Mo's face, Sun Jian sighed: "Master Xiao Yang, I know you have always had a prejudice against Mr. Yan and our company. I guess you are even more disapproving after hearing what I just said... But I want to say that although Accountant Wang and I did violate the financial rules and regulations of the company, we really had no choice!"

As he spoke, Sun Jian turned his head to look at Li Shihai and the pressure cooker stall surrounded by enthusiastic villagers, and smiled: "You may not know that at that time, the three major projects of Xialiu Marketing Cooperative were cut in half, and the penalty paid by South Korea was almost all used to pay the loan interest of villagers in other villages. But President Yan refused to take my passbook... If I hadn't done this with Accountant Wang and kept it a secret from President Yan, where would the cooperative get the money to buy so many goods for the members to sell everywhere?"

Yang Mo was surprised. "Go find the source of goods, and then have the members run to the streets to sell them at low prices, so as to achieve rapid turnover of funds and expansion of offline channels. Was it your idea, Old Sun?"

On the surface, Xialiu Sales Agency's approach seems very LOW, and it is not what a company should do at all. It is more like something a self-employed person would do. However, Yang Mo knows that this sinking model with members as terminal channels will still have considerable vitality and revenue-generating capabilities in China even in thirty years... In the land of Qilu where people care a lot about face, Xialiu Sales Agency can put aside its face and do this in this day and age. Of course, it benefits from their eccentric unity and execution ability, but the person who can put aside the burden of glitz and glamour and come up with this trick is indeed not simple.

Hearing Yang Mo calling him Old Sun for the second time, Sun Jian grinned and said, "How could that be possible? This idea was discussed by Boss Yan and everyone else. Boss Yan also used his connections to get the goods from all over the country. My only contribution is to provide the first batch of start-up funds for this plan."

Oh?
Was this something Yan Laoxi came up with?

Yang Mo frowned. From last year's private fundraising to the current sinking model, as well as this guy's various styles of doing things, all of them show that this ruthless man is really not simple. It stands to reason that a character like Yan Laoxi, who is mentally tough, sensitive, and decisive, even if he is unlucky and ultimately fails to become a big boss, should have heard of his name in his previous life. But why... ?
Putting aside the doubts in his mind, Yang Mo took out two unopened packs of Long-Billed Hongtashan from his Jiefang bag and handed them over: "Old Sun, don't carry Red Panda with you all day. Not only are those cigarettes very expensive, but people in Qilu actually prefer Hongtashan... When you are doing business, don't be stingy and take a long time to give out one cigarette. I'll go to the store and buy two packs for you later!"

As she said that, she glared at him in dissatisfaction: "By the way, when I went home to deliver oil last month, I found out that you quietly sent a few boxes of local specialties and food to my parents during the Dragon Boat Festival... What's the matter? We are old acquaintances. You used to be willing to show up in front of me, but now you don't even want to say hello during festivals?"

Although you have never been very fond of Yan Laoxi and Xialiu Sales Agency, you have to admit that they have indeed helped Yang Mo a lot in the past six months.

Especially Sun Jian, who had been silently helping the migrant workers return home, running around in the freezing rain with a maintenance team for five nights. When the raw materials for chicken chops were in short supply, he also used many of his connections to help Yang Mo and his team get in touch with a chicken farm in Gaotang County, which provided them with a total of 70 tons of chicken chops at a very affordable price... Although the quality of this batch of chicken chops was also not stable, it was indeed a great help to Yang Mo and his team at that time.

And most importantly, he never took credit for it from beginning to end, nor did he even mention his own name. Instead, he signed the order in the name of Su Yu.

Although Yang Mo had always suspected that this was a method of winning people's hearts and minds inherited from Yan Laoxi, he had to admit that when he accidentally learned the truth later, he did have a great liking for this wild panda at that moment... The scary thing about a ruffian is that when he uses the means of brotherhood to win your affection, even if you have doubts and are on guard, but the moment you really know the truth, you will still feel that "this is indeed something fools like them would do."

Hearing Yang Mo asking this, Sun Jian smiled and said, "Hey, it's not a big deal. As I said before, whether you believe it or not, after you helped us out of that siege and pointed out the bright path of golden vegetables, Mr. Yan and I have already regarded you as a friend... Giving gifts to elders during festivals, isn't that normal?"

Sun Jian sighed and said, "The reason why I didn't say hello to you later is because... Mr. Yan said that we knew each other from humble beginnings when you were still a small clerk. When we gave you a gift, we said hello to each other as a token of our appreciation. It's a normal thing between friends. "

"But I saw that you were promoted to deputy section chief like a rocket. Although you were basically a nominal position afterwards, it is an indisputable fact that you are increasingly valued and have more and more power in your hands, so..."

At this point, Sun Jian laughed self-deprecatingly: "Boss Yan has always said that you are a very cautious person, so... just think of us as waiting for an opportunity to make a profit... After all, the Dragon Boat Festival was the time when you, the leader of the work guidance group, were at your peak."

Yang Mo smiled when he heard that.

Rare goods worth buying?

Are you sure it's not timely help?

After all, Sun Jian had worked in the drilling company for more than ten years. He couldn't be unaware that a nominal position like the leader of the work guidance group often meant just being a disposable prop for a small character without any background.

Touching his chin, Yang Mo looked at the several stalls over there that were surrounded by people, and pondered for a moment.

Judging from the information revealed by Sun Jian's current attire and words, the actual situation of Xialiu Sales Agency may not be as optimistic as what we see on the scene...or at least, it is not yet at the level where we can be optimistic.

However, their sinking model coincides with some of the plans they had previously envisioned. The reason why their previous debt replacement model left such obvious room for scalpers to manipulate was mainly because they did not have a reliable team with strong appeal and execution capabilities.

But now...

Maybe the plan can be slightly modified. After all, the previous debt replacement model actually followed the path of viral marketing driven by interests. It is okay if the scale is not large. If the scale is too large, there will be too many variables later.

Hey!
A helping hand in need?
It’s really hard to say who delivers charcoal to whom!

Thinking of this, Yang Mo made up his mind: "It's been a long time since I went to your Xialiu Village. Now it's summer vacation. I don't know where that girl Qiwubai went."

Loss of five hundred?
The Lu Sanya from Changli Village?
After all, having been a business manager for more than half a year, Sun Jian immediately understood the meaning of the song and laughed, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I just need to go back to the company soon, so let's go together... Let me tell you, our Xialiu Village may not be good at other things, but the purple sweet potato, preserved vegetable and bean curd is a must-try. It is even more delicious when paired with the fermented tofu I taught them to make. I must let you experience it tonight!"

Listening to the emphasis and word choice of this guy, who no longer had a southwestern accent, and seeing this former Captain Sun calling us "our Xialiu Village";

Yang Mo was speechless.

Brother, you just have shares in the Xialiu Marketing Agency, which means you are completely different from a real villager of Xialiu Village!
and also,

Purple sweet potato, preserved vegetables and bean buns?

What kind of devil formula is that?
And eat it with fermented tofu?

Are you sure it's okay to eat this?

------

PS: Purple sweet potato, preserved vegetable, moldy tofu and bean curd. This is what appeared when I met the villain the night before last. I’m sharing it with you.
