1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 417: The Third Kind of Fairness (2)

Considered as one of the introductory readings of "Das Kapital", the book "The Law of Blood Pay. Survival Game in Chinese History" published by Professor Wu Si in later generations is probably a must-read for every public relations management major and cadres in the system. It is also one of the must-read books for people from all walks of life when they reach a certain stage.

After all, as can be seen from the subtitle, this is a book that summarizes thousands of years of Chinese history and underlying laws. Its scope of citation is very wide, and its reference significance is very significant... Since this book dares to call the law of blood felony a "meta-law", and no one in the academic community dares to jump out and find fault with it openly, its gold content can be imagined.

--------

Since we are here for an inspection, and it is an inspection involving city upgrading, then as a new economic engine for DZ City, the commercial demonstration area of ​​Dahua Industrial Park is naturally a must-visit place.

Commercial Street.

Looking at the densely packed laughing crowd under the yellow afterglow of the setting sun, the old man was a little shocked.

He never imagined that in this era when the urbanization rate has just exceeded 25%, in a county-level city like Dezhou with a population of only more than , a commercial street that had been officially built for less than three months would have such a terrifying flow of people.

Walking slowly on the street, looking at all kinds of novelty goods that seem familiar but slightly unfamiliar;

Looking at those young faces who seemed a little hesitant at first, but then readily paid for their favorite products;

Looking at the various wholesale and retail stores on the second floor, the small bosses, dressed in bright clothes and with rosy faces, were excitedly communicating with the store clerks stationed from various villages/enterprises.

The old man looked a little dazed.

Ensure the second type of fairness and try hard to achieve the first type of fairness?

What a background that looks like it has aged well!

Although he knew that any ambitious local management team would have its own work philosophy, and this was also another very important evaluation criterion for promotion to a prefecture-level city in addition to the hard conditions, he still did not expect that the team in Dezhou would actually think of "retro".

"Boss... flowers... edible... are for you."

A timid voice came, waking up the old man who was a little dazed.

When he lowered his head, he saw a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old.

Unlike what I imagined, the girl didn't look cute at all, and was even a little scary.

A triangular crack on the left lip made the slightly rosy face look as if an unknown monster had bitten it hard, revealing a few white teeth and tender gums.

As if affected by the crack, the two eyes were somewhat uneven in size. One eye was slightly squinting, while the other was wide open as if wanting to see the world clearly.

It is obvious that this is a girl with cleft lip.

In this era, due to various reasons, there are many people with acquired disabilities, and there are also many people with congenital disabilities.

However, judging from the girl's slightly dull and slow reaction, in addition to her cleft lip, she should be a person with a mild disability.

But in sharp contrast to that rather scary face, there were more than a dozen bunches of flowers hanging on the girl's left wrist. The attractive rose-red color and the strong sweet fragrance from the flowers finally made people feel the aura that a young girl in her prime should have.

"Mr. Zhao, this is a student from the school for the disabled. We specially arranged for him to work here...Now the budgets of various units are very tight. We encourage them to generate income in a diversified way to help themselves."

The deputy monitor, who had rarely spoken during the entire process, came over and explained in a low voice.

The old man took a look at the girl's washed and starched long-sleeved ant blue shirt, then looked at the work badge hanging on her chest and nodded slightly.

Since the security personnel drawn from the local system allowed the girl to approach, it means they all knew about the situation and may have seen this girl... In this case, it should not be a temporary arrangement.

As the deputy monitor in Texas, he actually cares about a marginal unit like the School for the Disabled. The cultural environment here is indeed different from other places.

Thinking of this, the old man smiled kindly, took the wreath from the girl, and asked softly, "Little girl, how much is it?"

Seeing the old man reaching into his pocket, the girl quickly waved her hand: "It's free."

Then, he pointed to the bunch of Pingyin roses in the old man's hand and said in a leaky voice: "Boss... the flowers... are edible... try them."

Seeing that the girl was very persistent, the old man looked at the bunch of roses in his hand with some confusion. Can this thing be eaten?
He tilted his head and saw Yang Mo tearing off a few petals and putting them into his mouth to chew as if it was nothing strange, nodding slightly as he ate. Ye Tao and the deputy monitor, who were also given flower strings, also put the petals into their mouths without any hesitation. Only then did he suppress the doubts in his heart and tear off a petal and put it into his mouth.

Ok……

It's quite fragrant, slightly astringent and slightly sour.

There is nothing else besides this.

interesting.

Seeing the old man nod, the girl looked at him expectantly: "Boss...are you used to the food?"

The old man smiled and nodded, and gave encouragement: "It's delicious!"

The girl was immediately happy when she heard that. The restraint and inferiority in her expression disappeared immediately. She pointed to a place not far away and said, "Boss... over there... flower cakes... flower sauce... flower wine... try them... give me some suggestions... it's free."

The old man suddenly realized that it was a publicity stunt. No wonder the flower strings were free... I meant that other places strung jasmine flowers or Burmese osmanthus flowers together for sale, but here you strung roses together for sale.

After looking at all the new things on the street and thinking for a while, the old man nodded with a smile: "Okay!"

………………

In the old man's mind, flowers are for viewing, not for eating. So, the things made from flowers may sound like an interesting idea, but in reality, it is simply not feasible.

In fact, the current status of Tianjin's rose wine and southern Yunnan's rose wine explains everything... In fact, the reason why he was willing to waste his precious time following this cleft lip girl was nothing more than out of an elder's pity.

He suspected that if he refused, the cleft-lip girl who failed to complete the task would be blamed by the business, and they might even be unwilling to assign work to people with mild disabilities like them in the future. This would be a heavy blow to those schools for the disabled, which already had very tight budgets, and to the disabled people therein.

But he soon found out he was wrong.

The area specially set aside on Commercial Street 1 for experiencing, promoting and providing feedback on these rose products has long been crowded. Not only do people come out with two large bags of flower cakes from time to time, but even a few foreign businessmen who are obviously from Japan and South Korea can only stand outside and wait quietly... The busy staff have no time to deal with these foreign businessmen, and based on the well-known unspoken rules of the commercial demonstration zone, these foreign businessmen cannot enjoy the privileges they are accustomed to on this commercial street full of red elements.

Haha~
It seems that I was being too sentimental. They don't need people like me at all.

Smelling the rich sweet scent at the scene, even though the old man was not interested in roses, he still couldn't help but secrete some saliva.

Looking at the crazy crowd at the scene, the old man looked at the two fresh flower cake baking rooms behind the experience display area, and then looked at Yang Mo who was watching with a smile next to him, and couldn't help but sigh... Although he knew from the information collected by his subordinates that this young man had been emphasizing his original "Six Touches" promotion method, and he had no intention of cherishing it, and he looked like he wished that all the companies on the commercial street could learn it overnight.

But in his opinion, this was nothing more than the vanity and competitiveness of young people, who wanted to gain some false reputation.

But it was not until he personally came to the scene and experienced the powerful temptation to consumption after the olfactory effect was amplified that he realized that this young man was really good... This was just an enhanced application of smell, which belongs to the scope of [nose touch]. In addition to smell, there are also eye touch, ear touch, tongue touch, body touch, mind touch, etc. It was difficult for him to imagine that if a merchant could do all these points well, how powerful the market competitiveness would be (in order to take care of old book friends, I will not expand on the application ideas of the six touches in marketing. If you are interested, please read the book "1998").

"Xiao Yang, I heard that you went against all odds and insisted on launching a 3,000-acre rose planting project. You even mobilized the masses to raise funds to build some deep processing industrial links... I didn't think much of this project at first, thinking that you were fooling around. But now it seems that with the flow of people and influence of the commercial demonstration zone, the production capacity of the 3,000-acre rose planting base should be able to be absorbed."

The old man took a flyer handed out by a staff member who was also a person with disabilities, carefully read the product introduction and material standards on it, made a slight calculation in his mind, and nodded approvingly.

Upon hearing this, Yang Mo just smiled modestly and didn't say much.

Ye Tao was unwilling to give up this opportunity to show off. He exchanged glances with the deputy monitor, and immediately approached the old man and whispered, "Mr. Zhao, you underestimate the courage of Dahua Company. Dahua Company plans to expand the scale of edible rose cultivation to 40,000 acres in Dezhou and Lanling within five years... This 3,000-acre planting base is just a demonstration and driving force."

The old man's eyes widened: "Forty thousand acres!?"

He originally wanted to say that it was nonsense, but thinking of the scene before him which he couldn't understand, he didn't say it in the end.

Seeing this, Ye Tao immediately explained: "Mr. Zhao, I am not exaggerating. In fact, edible roses can be used for many purposes, such as medicine, essential oil extraction, perfume, skin care and cosmetics additives, beverages, and food. Each of these areas has a very large market;"

"In fact, since it was the first large-scale planting, due to lack of experience and management technology that still needed to be improved, the first wave of production of this 500-acre rose planting base was only about 660 tons, which was a considerable gap from the expected tons... This forced Dahua Company to urgently coordinate with the foreign businessmen who had reached an intention to cooperate at the beginning, and then reduced the contract amount."

"Let me put it this way. As long as the production process is up to standard, the first wave of 500 tons of edible roses produced will be consumed by the export orders for essential oils, not to mention other demands... If Mr. Yang hadn't insisted on not giving in, not to mention the flower cakes you see now, even the rose tea that has already started production would face a shortage of raw materials."

At this point, Ye Tao added, "Mr. Zhao, have you seen those foreign businessmen waiting at the scene? They all want to discuss cooperation projects for flower cakes, but I can tell you responsibly that these foreign businessmen will probably return disappointed."

"Dahua Company has already reached a supply agreement with a member company of the Asemin Chamber of Commerce in the island country for edible rose jam... This is one of the components of Dahua Company's overseas independent brand strategy and is used in the production of Yuehua brand flower cakes in the island country;"

"According to the agreement, Dahua Company must fulfill the supply of 600 tons of rose jam this year. If converted into fresh flowers, it is about 200 tons (reduced sugar formula)... Although the 1000-acre planting base can harvest two waves of fresh flowers this year, the actual fresh flower output can reach about tons, but Dahua still has a series of foreign trade contracts for edible roses. The output has long been insufficient, so where is the remaining production capacity to give to others?"

"So, although under Mr. Yang's insistence, for the purpose of cultivating the domestic market, after cutting some foreign trade contracts, the commercial demonstration zone will still try its best to ensure the supply of flower cakes... but it is only available on Commercial Street 1. Even domestic merchants who want to be agents cannot do so."

At the end, Ye Tao said with a little reserve: "In the first commercial street of Dezhou Dahua Industrial Park, everyone can buy a lot of things that are simply not available outside or temporarily unavailable. This is also a major feature of this place for tourism... and the freshly made and baked Pingyin rose flower cakes are definitely one of the hot products now. If it weren't for the preparation of the subsequent 40,000-acre expansion plan, they would definitely not be willing to make flower strings of Pingyin roses, which are already in short supply, for tourists to wear and eat."

The old man was stunned: "Are edible roses so in short supply?"

Ye Tao replied respectfully: "The current domestic market may be very limited, but the demand gap abroad is very large. The income level of people in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, and even parts of the Middle East and Africa is much higher than that in China. Once the income is high, the demand is diversified;"

"What many people don't know is that China is actually one of the countries of origin of roses and Chinese roses. Whether in terms of quality or cultural empowerment, our edible roses have great advantages and potential for development. This is one of the important reasons why Dahua Company can easily find so many foreign trade orders."

The old man was silent for a while, then he sighed softly: "My vision is limited, I just keep focusing on the country."

After saying that, he looked at Yang Mo with a sigh, as if to say that the future ultimately belongs to you young people.

Seeing this, Yang Mo had to comfort him: "Mr. Zhao, the division of labor in society is different. You have many major things to worry about. Naturally, there is no need and you should not spend your energy on such insignificant corners;" "Besides, the country has its own difficulties. Executive Ye and others can't always stretch out their hands to the country for support, right?"

"Since we want to develop the economy of Dezhou and improve the living standards of the people, we can't just focus on the pots and pans at home. We also want to create a good business environment... Then we can only use our little brains more and think about foreign countries."

At the end, Yang Mo shrugged his shoulders and said, "Executive Director Ye believes that even if we want to build a good business environment, we have to be strategic... temporarily relying on heavy industry, and temporarily trying not to touch the existing cake as much as possible, by opening up new markets, and then using these new small cakes to give investors and enterprises second-class fairness, or even first-class fairness, and then gradually enhance social confidence, and gradually revitalize the people's livelihood and economy of Texas, is undoubtedly the most prudent approach."

The old man nodded. "It's great to have such an idea... Haste is the root of all failure. When I saw your promotional methods before, I thought you were a little too hasty. But if you are really willing to take your time, that would be great."

If you're willing to take it slow, that's great?
Ye Tao's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.

Seeing this, Yang Mo smiled softly: "Mr. Zhao, let me say something unpleasant, given China's current situation, can we still take our time?"

The old man looked at him deeply and said nothing.

Indeed, judging from the current situation, some things really cannot be done slowly.

only……

Do you only understand business?
The old man smiled and suddenly changed the subject: "Xiao Yang, I originally thought that since this edible rose project is so promising, your Dahua Company should just hold it in your hands. You mobilized the masses to organize this project together, which certainly saved a lot of trouble, but also lost a lot of initiative... When you expand the planting area in the future, will you continue to use the original cooperative model?"

The cooperative model that the old man mentioned actually refers to the two-tier PPP model. Although some details are different, the core ideas of the two are the same.

Yang Mo just smiled when he heard this: "Why not? It turns out that this seemingly outdated model is actually very useful, isn't it?"

The old man gave him a meaningful look and said, "But if you do this, as the project designer, your Dahua Company's efforts and rewards don't seem to be proportional."

The old man's implication is very clear. In fact, you can form a regional monopoly in this market to a certain extent, and you can also increase the acceptance of monopoly prices among growers and customers.

Yang Mo shrugged nonchalantly: "I have always felt that people who only look at the last bit of braised sweet potatoes left in the rice bags of ordinary people to fill their stomachs are the most hopeless... I have no interest in sweet potatoes, but if I can get a meal of braised pork, I have no objection."

The old man laughed immediately: "You said it yourself, everyone is only left with that little bit of sweet potato bran, where is the braised pork for you? You can't force people to use the last bit of bran to feed your pigs, right?"

Yang Mo shook his head. "If you cook the sweet potatoes in the rice bag and make them into desserts, can't you sell them to the next village? With the money, you can buy bran and raise pigs without starving. My request is not excessive. I will teach you how to make sweet potatoes into desserts, and then teach you how to sell desserts... When you raise the pigs, just give me a big bowl of braised pork."

The old man burst into laughter: "So what your Dahua Company is doing this year is to teach people how to make desserts?"

Yang Mo nodded: "Of course not only that, I will also teach you how to sell it."

The old man chuckled twice: "So the Solitary Island No. 2 project you are planning to promote is the braised pork you want to eat?"

Yang Mo curled his lips and said, "Mr. Zhao, you look down on me too much. At most, it's just potatoes served with braised pork... Tangible things are worthless, intangible things are the most valuable."

Something invisible?
The old man chewed a little and laughed: "Xiao Ye, Xiao Liu, do you think so too?"

Ye Tao, who was still unsure of the other party's pulse, had some sweat on his forehead. After looking at the deputy squad leader, they nodded together: "We think so too. We have discussed it carefully with Mr. Yang and have always believed that his point of view is correct. As long as we can raise the per capita GDP of DZ City to 3500 yuan within one or two years, the economic structure and business formats of the entire region will undergo earth-shaking changes."

These two people were very cunning. They avoided the subsequent questions and simply agreed with Yang Mo's previous statement.

The old man glanced at the two of them and couldn't help feeling shocked.

GDP per capita?

3500 yuan?
Even though prices have risen rapidly in the past two years, it is not easy for old industrial areas like Texas to meet this standard!

But don't forget, this is per capita GDP, not per capita GDP of urban residents, it must include rural areas.

Thinking of this, the old man chuckled: "Anyway, according to the itinerary, I still need to stay here for two days. Since you are so ambitious...why don't we set out together early tomorrow morning and visit various rural grassroots organizations?"

Ye Tao and the deputy squad leader looked at each other, with a hint of uneasiness in their eyes. Although the social security in Dezhou area is much better now than before, no one dares to say that there are no problems at all. If something goes wrong in the middle, the county's land upgrading plan will be ruined.

However, the old man's attitude has always been somewhat ambiguous. Until now, they have not been able to tell whether he supports or opposes Dezhou's upgrading to a prefecture-level city. If they dissuade him from going on the grounds of safety, the results may be extremely bad.

Forget it, let’s give it a try!
Thinking of this, the two nodded in unison: "Okay, Mr. Zhao...you will point out the location when the time comes."

The two were smart enough not to say things like "I'll arrange it". Given the other party's status, since they came to inspect, they would definitely not tolerate any sand in their eyes.

Seeing that the two agreed, the old man nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Yang Mo: "Xiao Yang, I heard that your Dahua Company has a very good relationship with the grassroots masses in the rural areas here... When the time comes, I will trouble you, the guide, to explain it to me in detail."

It was obvious that the old man was very dissatisfied with Yang Mo's frugal behavior today.

Hearing this, Yang Mo's eyes flashed with reluctance, and finally he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, I will tell you everything I know."

Seeing Yang Mo's reaction, the old man nodded without comment and hummed softly, but he felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Being able to get close to the leader and then showcase your abilities and achievements is an opportunity that countless people dream of.

Although Yang Mo is not a member of the administrative system, his rank is still there after all.

Besides, I heard that this young man is going through the process and I am afraid that he will be promoted to a department-level cadre in no time.

After he is promoted to the department level, with the achievements Yang Mo has made in the past two years, I am afraid that someone will inevitably want him to work in the competent department;

If that were the case, Yang Mo would have entered the administrative system.

and so……

Have you ever thought about establishing a relationship with an old man like me in advance and laying the groundwork?
There's no need to say more about how good this is for you, right?
Thinking of the young man's frugal behavior with words in front of him today, the old man sighed slightly.

Young people should have the ability.

only……

Huh~
Still too young!

"Little Momo~!"

Just as the old man turned around and was about to continue walking forward and visiting other places, a hoarse voice with a very silly laugh came from afar.

Before the old man turned around to see who was coming, he saw Yang Mo next to him with a big smile on his face, and walked up to him quickly: "Er Pang!"

Looking at the obese young man hugging Yang Mo tightly, the old man was a little surprised: "Xiao Ye, is this Xiao Yang's friend?"

It stands to reason that someone of the old man's level would not be so gossipy. Regardless of whether Yang Mo met his friends or not, he could just continue to visit other places as planned... After all, China is a society based on personal relationships. It is common to meet acquaintances while accompanying leaders on inspections. The old man would not be dissatisfied with such things.

But the person who came was really too weird.

He was chubby and wore a set of work clothes that looked a bit weird.
On that rather fat face, there was a smile that was more dull than simple;

Combined with that mouth full of gray fangs, it really gives people a feeling of being uncomfortable all over.

It was hard for him to imagine that such a person was actually Yang Mo's friend.

And judging by the fact that Yang Mo didn't care about the other person's sweaty body and hugged him tightly... in the young man's heart, this little fat boy who looked like a person with a mild disability was definitely more important than himself, an old man.

Ye Tao smiled softly and explained in a low voice: "This young man is called Wang Hongqi, also known as Wang Erpang. Everyone calls him Wang Ershazi. He was originally an ordinary villager in Lanling... But when Mo Mo Baizha encountered difficulties in getting raw materials, the first person to come over with his own rooster was this idiot... Strictly speaking, the spontaneous action of villagers from all over the country sending chickens was started by this idiot... Although it was a bit coincidental, the reason why so many villagers in Lanling were so eager to send chickens was indeed due to the contribution of this idiot."

At this point, Ye Tao thought for a moment and made a vivid summary: "To put it simply, the role played by Wang Erpang at the time was a bit like the butterfly that fanned the storm... But when Yang Mo first met him, he didn't know that this idiot would have such a big impact. The two of them hit it off at first sight. I heard that the two of them squatted in front of the gate of Dezhou No. 2 Middle School for an entire afternoon and became very good friends... Later, after Wang Erpang was arranged to move to Commercial Street 1, Yang Mo would come over from time to time to eat candy with him."

Eat, eat candy?
The old man felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart. It was hard for him to imagine what it was like to see a powerful section chief who was extremely arrogant squatting on the roadside eating candy with an ugly, obese young man who was obviously a person with a mild disability.

Seeing the old man's eyes on Wang Ershazi, Ye Tao quickly added, "Mr. Zhao, in fact, the freshly baked flower cake business on Commercial Street 1 is in charge of this Wang Erpang... Although his brain was damaged due to taking medicine randomly when he was sick as a child, he is still very serious about his work, and he has a persistence that normal people don't have, so the quality of the flower cakes here has always been very guaranteed."

"In addition, he also invited students from the disabled school to help with the work... Everyone is slightly disabled, so it is easier to communicate and there is no need to worry about being discriminated against."

Oh?
Were those disabled students also hired by this idiot Wang Er to work here?
Thinking of the girl's smile after he accepted the wreath, which seemed to be relieved and as if she had gained a great sense of accomplishment, the old man was thoughtful.

"Uncle, try the flower cake... I just baked it... it smells so good~!"

Just as the old man lowered his head and pondered something, a pair of chubby hands appeared in front of him, holding a paper box full of flower cakes.

He looked up at Wang Erpang's silly happy face, and then glanced at Yang Mo who looked slightly unhappy. The old man grinned, took out a piece of flower cake from the box of unnecessarily arranged, still steaming flower cakes, and then touched the other's wet head with a smile.

"Thank you!"

PS: There is really no way, all the content about the law of blood feud has been deleted.

Therefore, I strongly recommend that if you have not read these two books by Professor Wu Si, you must go and take a look... Even if you don’t have time to read them, you can take a look at the condensed summaries of these two books on the Internet, and you will probably understand what is not written in this chapter and what the causal logic is.

However, these two books are so widely circulated that I think all the students should have read them.
