1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 224: The sword is not ready yet, but you are already in the martial arts world when you go out

(Second revision, a lot of deletions and changes, I don’t know if it can be posted)
People in later generations may have heard about the great risks of domestic logistics and transportation from the late 90s to the early s, but only by experiencing this period in person can you realize that sometimes the disparity in this world is more serious than you think.

Ok……

I wonder if you have seen the movie "No Man's Land" starring Bald Teacher Xu.

………………

"So, our convoy had a problem just after entering the boundary of Shang River?"

Veins appeared faintly on Yang Mo's forehead, and there was a rare hint of anger and... frustration in his tone.

Losing a few trucks of raw materials was not a big deal. Although Qingfeng Food was a little short of cash on hand, it could still afford a loss of hundreds of thousands. After all, except for the truck of chilled whole chickens, the rest of the stuff in those trucks was not valuable.

But the problem is...

Those cars are the key!
You know, unlike ordinary trucks, these seven vehicles are large cold-chain vehicles, which are extremely rare items nowadays, and you may not be able to get them immediately even if you have money and connections!

Although since the early 1980s, China has successively established Wuhan Commercial Refrigeration Machinery Factory, Guiyang Commercial Refrigeration Machinery Factory, Jilin Baishan Automobile Modification Factory, and Zhenjiang Refrigerated Automobile Factory, the only one of the same batch that has survived to later generations, by introducing production lines.

However, since the current domestic demand for cold chain vehicles, especially large cold chain vehicles, has been very weak (in 1981, there were less than 200 vehicles in the country. Although there is no exact data, by 1989, the number of cold chain vehicles in the country should not have exceeded 3000), these units began to adopt the order production model in the past two years to supply only those units in need!
In other words, in today's domestic market, cold chain vehicles, no matter what model, are all unique and difficult to find in the stock circulation market!

As some kind of exchange, Miss Mu took great pains to get less than 30 cold chain vehicles. Even this was the limit of her ability... Even Miss Mu's father could only get so few second-hand cold chain vehicles without the help of public forces. This shows how difficult it is to get these things.

And now, seven cold chain vehicles were lost at once, accounting for 1/3 of the size of the fleet. This is simply a threat!
The cold chain transportation capacity, which is the main force, was reduced by 1/3 all of a sudden. No matter whether it is the daily raw material distribution of Momo Baizha or the Momo Bailu that Yang Mo is using for pump transfusion, they will all be fatally affected... Even the circulation and transportation of raw materials cannot be guaranteed, what's the point of talking about transfusion!

………………

"What the hell is going on! Wasn't the convoy marked as a high-risk red area? How could something go wrong at the border of Shanghe?!"

Yang Mo, who was already on the verge of exploding, looked like a tiger waiting to devour its prey.

In fact, it was no wonder that he got angry. Ever since the last incident with the goods of Xialiu Marketing Agency in southern Hunan, he had listed the planning of safe delivery routes as a top priority for the Mo Mo Bai Bombing Project...and the border of a certain place on the Shang River was one of the eight red high-risk areas in the three provinces of the Central Plains.

According to the operating manual of the transport fleet, when passing through these red risk areas, the driver and co-driver must not only stay alert and pay attention to any abnormalities on the roadside; but also slowing down, stopping, getting off the vehicle, refueling, adding water, going to the toilet, and eating are all strictly prohibited behaviors, and even speeding below 60 miles per hour will be severely punished.

The contingency plan had been implemented to this extent, but the convoy still had an accident, and seven vehicles were involved in the accident... Is the person in charge of the convoy an idiot?

"Master, it is said that a group of people rushed out from the roadside and scattered triangular nails on the road, covering the entire road surface. The tires of the convoy were punctured and they couldn't escape at all."

Looking at Yang Mo who was showing signs of losing his temper, Bai Mengmeng explained weakly.

As a half participant, she certainly knew what the sudden loss of 7 cold chain vehicles meant to Yang Mo.

Since it can be designated as a red high-risk area instead of an orange or yellow area, those guys active on the national highway at the border of Shanghe River naturally don’t even follow the most basic rules;

If nothing unexpected happens, the raw materials on the seven vehicles will be processed in the shortest time possible, and those cold chain vehicles themselves will even turn into countless parts within a few days and circulate quietly in the corners of the market.

Hearing about the destructive method of stopping cars by spreading nails on the road, Yang Mo calmed down a little and said thoughtfully: "Have you figured out which village it is?"

Not many people who seek to make a fortune are fools. If they dare to target a fleet of nearly twenty drivers and co-drivers, they definitely cannot be fighting alone... You know, the drivers of long-distance transportation these days are not as gentle as those in later generations. They are very tough. It may be an exaggeration to say that they are armed to the teeth, but it is normal to stuff a bunch of guys in the car for self-protection.

Thinking of the nearly 20 drivers who were picked up by special cars overnight, Bai Mengmeng shook his head and said, "It's impossible to confirm... The location of the accident is a bit special. Not to mention the location is a bit remote. If you really look into it, all the more than 20 villages within 20 miles need to be screened... And this kind of thing is generally not done at home, so in fact, it is not excessive to expand the suspicion range to 30 kilometers."

Yang Mo nodded, pondered for a long time, then sighed, said hello to Miss Mu, and walked straight to the gate.

Seeing this, Bai Mengmeng quickly called him: "Master, aren't you recovering from your injuries? Where are you going?"

Yang Mo's expression was a little ugly: "No matter what, Qingfeng Food is a subsidiary of the company after all, and Momoba Fried and Momoba Stewed Food are the company's tertiary industry projects. Now that such a big thing has happened, it is natural to report it to the company, and then the Public Security Department will intervene and join hands with the public security system in Shanghe area to handle this case!"

Although it makes sense in name, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Yang Mo is at his wits' end and has to seek help from the company... As for whether he will eventually give in to Wang Yinuo or bow to Vice President Feng, it all depends on who is ultimately in charge of the matter and who can give a relatively satisfactory result.

Yang Mo had to give in so decisively, there was actually nothing he could do about it.

If it was just a business confrontation at the level of pure confrontation, he actually still had some means to use. Whether facing Wang Yinuo or Vice President Feng, he could still hold out for a while;

But the problem now is that his most basic and most important cold chain logistics and distribution infrastructure has lost one-third due to this accident. Even the most basic daily operations of various projects cannot be maintained. How can he continue to operate?
This is just like in a LOL ranked match. If your jungler goes to the fountain and hangs up halfway through the game, then even if the other four players have all the skills, they can't beat the five opponents.

Strictly speaking, this is not a crime of war.

But what can we do? This world has always been full of various accidents. Even for those who are reborn, there is no guarantee that they will have a smooth life.

Hearing that Yang Mo was going to report to the company and seek help, Bai Mengmeng suddenly became anxious and blocked Yang Mo's way: "Master, you can't go!"

Yang Mo frowned: "Xiao Bai, what are you doing?"

Bai Mengmeng looked like she was about to cry: "Master, your report has alerted the Public Security Department, and something bad will happen... When I rushed back, Boss Yan and his men had already taken people to Shanghe!"

Um? ?

Hearing this unexpected answer, Yang Mo looked at Bai Mengmeng in surprise: "You mean... Yan Laoxi rushed to the scene of the incident?"

Bai Mengmeng nodded heavily: "Boss Yan has called up everyone in the sales agency who can be called. There are nearly a hundred people, and they all brought weapons...Except for those guys who stayed in Xialiu Village before and would cause a big noise, they brought all the other small items and local items that they could bring!"

hiss~!

Yang Mo took a breath of cold air.

Although the word "militia" has disappeared in the long river of history for several years, many rural areas still retain the habit of drill and some equipment that has not yet been returned to the public;
Therefore, although the Shonan Province in 93 let the later generations know what it means to be full of martial virtues, but in fact, throughout the s, as long as there were enough motivations, people could see the results of the training in the village.

No wonder Bai Mengmeng refused to let him report it to the company. Once the Public Security Bureau intervened and filed a case, and Xialiu Distribution Agency caused a big commotion, Yan Laoxi and his people would be dead or dead! "Why did Yan Laoxi and his people... do this?"

Yang Mo was shocked and looked at Bai Mengmeng with some confusion.

As a reborn person who has experienced all kinds of things, Yang Mo naturally does not have a simple binary worldview of black and white like those Generation Z who grew up in a honeypot, and he never thinks that the world is really so peaceful.

In fact, he knew very well that for a long time, the simplest and most brutal methods were often the most effective and immediate ones... Although most people might not agree with them, nor appreciate them, or even feel disgusted with them, it was indeed the case if we only considered the effects.

Therefore, Yan Laoxi and his team immediately set out for the accident site with great fanfare after learning the news. This was undoubtedly the most likely way to stop the loss in time and recover some of the goods and vehicles... The previous trip to Xiangnan to recover the intercepted goods had fully proved this point;
In fact, even if Yang Mo reported the incident to the company today and the Public Security Department intervened, due to the need for cross-county cooperation and various procedures, it would take at least three days for the official investigation to begin... After three days, let alone the raw materials on the truck, even the seven cold chain trucks would probably have been dealt with.

Time is money, and this is especially evident in matters like this.

But the problem is...

These goods belong to Qingfeng Food, and these cold chain vehicles also belong to Qingfeng Food. Even if they are all lost, it has nothing to do with Xialiu Distribution Agency... The relationship between Xialiu Distribution Agency and Yang Mo is just a cooperative relationship that is closer than an ordinary partnership. It is not even a second-level partner, let alone a strategic partner.

In the current situation, even strategic partners would not take such a big risk to recover the goods and vehicles, but why did Xialiu Sales Agency... ?
Hearing Yang Mo's question, Bai Mengmeng sighed: "In fact, I was also present when President Yan and the others asked people to use weapons. At that time, I also advised them to calm down and discuss everything before making a decision. But President Yan said..."

Having said that, Bai Mengmeng looked at his master hesitantly.

Yang Mo glanced at her and said calmly, "What did Yan Laoxi say?"

Bai Mengmeng swallowed and said, "Boss Yan said, first... Master, you are a college student and work in a state-owned enterprise, so you may be very good at your job and business, but when it comes to dealing with such troublesome things, their Xialiu Sales Agency is more experienced;"

Yang Mo's forehead twitched, but he didn't say anything to refute. The Xialiu Sales Company had gradually built itself up from poverty. In the eyes of later generations, they seemed to be indistinguishable from right and wrong, so they had naturally experienced far more bad things than Yang Mo. Therefore, in this regard, the two really could not compare in experience.

Seeing that Yang Mo didn't say anything, Bai Mengmeng continued in a low voice: "Second, President Yan said that the reason why Xialiu Sales Agency has been struggling for so many years and has gradually improved is actually due to their good reputation for being trustworthy and responsible. Everyone is willing to believe in them and give them a chance to cooperate;"

“Although those raw materials were actually purchased by Qingfeng Food, many of the raw material purchase contracts were stamped with the seal of Xialiu Marketing Agency… Regardless of whether they are a shell transit platform or not, since their seal is stamped on it, they can’t just sit back and do nothing.”

At this point, Bai Mengmeng had a complicated expression: "Boss Yan said that Xialiu Village has been poor for decades and is already tired of poverty. Just for the sake of reputation, which is the foundation of their existence and the key to leading the whole village out of poverty and into prosperity, they are willing to sacrifice everything!"

The corner of Yang Mo's eye twitched. He felt that Yan Laoxi was extremely twisted and even more so, he felt that he was extremely stupid.

Can hard work make you rich?

Can you get out of poverty by keeping your promises and taking responsibility?

Did your fucking brain get kicked by a donkey?
If you had applied the "advanced experience" you learned before to business and not touched the physical world, the more than 200 people in Xialiu Village would have been able to live in the small Western-style buildings long ago!

But he had to admit that although he could complain, he really couldn't curse if you asked him to... There are too many smart people in later generations. People like Yan Laoxi, who obviously have the abilities and means but live like a fool, are actually a rare and pitiful creature.

Seeing his master's obscure expression, Bai Mengmeng glanced at Miss Mu who was standing in deep thought not far away, and then said timidly: "Third, Mr. Yan said that although he knows that you, Master, have a bad impression of him and have never regarded him as a true friend, he still remembers the help you gave to Xia Liu Sales Agency, and has always regarded you as a true friend... He has no intention of marrying up, nor is he willing to marry up, he simply regards you as a friend;"

"Boss Yan also said that the Xialiu Marketing Agency is committed to the pursuit of a clear mind and the word righteousness... He knows that Master, you are in a difficult situation recently, and he also knows that these raw materials and cold chain vehicles are very important to you;"

"So, whether from the perspective of a partner or a friend, Xialiu Sales Agency has the responsibility to help you get these things back. At the very least, recovering some of the losses is also good... For this, even if we have to pay a little more, it is acceptable."

"After all, Mr. Yan said that you, Master, have helped them a lot. Whether it was the rescue last year or the county's package plan this year, they have benefited a lot. The people in Xialiu Village can already eat meat once or twice a month... He knows that his ability is far from yours, Master, and he can't help much with the real work, so... he can only do more work on this kind of physical work."

At the end, Bai Mengmeng's voice was barely audible: "Finally, Mr. Yan asked me to ask you for a favor... If this incident ends up being a bit serious, and they are held accountable or even go to jail, I would like to ask you to take care of the other young and old men in Xialiu Village and see if you can support a few projects in the village... These projects don't need to be big, they just need to prevent the villagers from going back to the days of drinking corn porridge every day."

Seeing the expression of empathy on Bai Mengmeng's face, Yang Mo almost let out a sigh of relief.

Damn it, don’t you suspect that this is the old fox Yan Laoxi trying to take credit and gain sympathy in another way so that I can give them a bigger share of the cake in the future, Xialiu Sales Agency?
However, speculation is speculation, but it is undeniable that Yan Laoxi's style, which is full of the flavor of the underworld, has won Yang Mo's great favor.

Let’s not talk about whether you are capable or not for now. Having a group of friends who put righteousness first and are so single that it’s outrageous, will eventually make you feel safe to show your back, right?
and……

Even if Yan Laoxi's decision actually had more practical calculations in it... Yang Mo also admitted it!
If you have the guts, you can stand up at this critical moment and risk asking your family to pay for guns!

Feeling the strong fluctuations coming from deep in his heart, Yang Mo couldn't help but sigh.

It can make a reborn person like me, whose combined age of two lifetimes would be half buried in the ground, unable to suppress the affection in my heart.

This beast Yan Laoxi is really powerful!
However, after this incident, he had roughly guessed why this big-name figure with his skills and mental toughness had never been heard of in later generations.

There is no other reason. As a carrier of belief, Xialiu Village has too weak a foundation. This forced their leader, Comrade Yan Laoxi, to dance on the edge of a knife, seeking external resources by various means that are extremely risky and the input and output are not proportional.
But as the saying goes, if you walk on the road at night too much, you will eventually encounter ghosts. In this unpredictable and treacherous era, no matter how brilliant your mind is, you will be shattered to pieces by a huge wave.

Yang Mo sighed with some emotion, and then he was silent for a long time. Suddenly he shook his head and said, "Xiao Bai, call Liu Xianfu and the others immediately and ask them to drive back to chase Mr. Yan and the others. Tell them it was my idea!"

"And their kindness...I accept it!"

If Yang Mo's memory is correct, the country's severe crackdown on car bandits and highway robbers will begin soon this year. By then, anyone who is involved in this matter and causes a big commotion will be in big trouble.

Regardless of whether Yan Laoxi and his men are truly loyal or just want to show their loyalty to him, since he has already decided to accept them completely, he cannot let these guys with outstanding execution ability take such a big risk for such a small thing.

Hearing Yang Mo's order, Bai Mengmeng's eyes lit up. He turned around and jogged a few steps, then turned back and asked worriedly, "Master... have you decided to report to the company and let the Public Security Department intervene?"

Yang Mo, Zhang Wenshun, her, or her father, have become a de facto community of interests. Therefore, whether Yang Mo will lose part of his position and fall into a passive position will directly affect the subsequent cooperation with her father, so she cannot help but care.

Yang Mo smiled upon hearing this: "The company will eventually know about this, and the public security department will probably get involved, so... there's no need for me, a sick and injured person, to make this special trip."

Hearing Yang Mo's meaning, Bai Mengmeng was delighted at first, but then asked worriedly: "Then Master...what about the supply of raw materials for Mo Mo Bai Fried and Mo Mo Bai Stewed?"

Yang Mo waved his hands in dismay: "What else can we do? If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth... Since it is not our fault, we can't do anything about it. If we lose, we lose!"

Bai Mengmeng glanced at Miss Mu, who had a half-smile on her face, and rolled her eyes, revealing a hint of understanding. Then she hurriedly ran to make a phone call...
