1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 437: Cooperation brings benefits to both parties, separation brings harm to both parties

As the director of the Asset Preservation Department, even though Qingdao Automobile Plant No. 1 has not yet completed the modification of all the vehicles, as the comprehensive business of his fleet of more than 300 trucks of various types began to boom, Lin Luosu can finally be regarded as the number one figure in Dahua Company.

However, what is different from the other second-generation people who have boarded Yang Mo's ship is that even though the transport fleet under her is already busy with business, and large-scale expansion is inevitable after the company's budget comes out next year, she is strangely in a state of being busy and not busy at the same time, which can be said to be a classic representative of quantum superposition state.

So, when Miss Mu ran to her room to "take refuge" after work, our Eggplant Girl was sitting leisurely under the air conditioner, leisurely fiddling with a bunch of things on the coffee table in front of her.

Mu Liya looked at the pile of things in front of her and couldn't help but twitch her lips: "Hey Luoluo, what are you trying to do?"

"Eating hot pot with the air conditioner on? How could you even think of that?"

Lin Luosu grinned and put a few slices of mutton into the super mini copper-footed hot pot in front of him. The hot pot was even two sizes smaller than the common electric rice cookers in later generations. "You know nothing! This is called enjoyment... the joy of ice and fire, you don't understand!"

As if she had gotten used to her sisters' vulgar behavior when no one was around, Mu Liya pointed to another pile of things on the short coffee table with a nonchalant look on her face: "What's this? Eating hot pot and drinking tea at the same time, aren't you afraid of damaging your stomach?"

Lin Luosu picked up the kettle and poured the tea into the covered bowl in a casual manner. Then he swung it around like a dice cup, and finally poured a cup of bitter tea in front of Miss Mu: "You know shit... This is called elegance and vulgarity!"

As he spoke, he picked up the freshly cooked lamb from the mini hot pot with chopsticks, dipped it in sesame sauce, stuffed it into his mouth, and then took a sip of the freshly brewed strong tea: "Delicious~!"

Miss Mu looked at the intoxicated look on Eggplant Girl's face in silence.
I admit defeat. Don't you think it tastes weird to eat chive sauce and sesame sauce and then drink tea?

Well, you old man have a unique taste and amazing tolerance. I have to admit that you are better than me!
Eggplant girl closed her eyes and chewed the two slices of mutton for ten seconds before swallowing them. When she opened her eyes, she found Mu Liya sitting there. She stretched out her chopsticks with a surprised look on her face and said, "Help yourself. Why are you being so polite to me?"

Miss Mu rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry about me. I'll cool myself down first. It's too hot now and I have no appetite!"

Lin Luosu curled her lips: "So you came to my place just to use the air conditioner? I say, why do you need to do that? It's not like you can't afford the money. Can't you just install one in your room?"

In fact, air conditioning has been available in China as early as 1957, but at that time the main customer groups were industrial manufacturing companies and high-end reception hotels;
But starting from 1986, air conditioners started to develop as civilian air conditioner manufacturers led by Chunlan and Huabao, and this thing gradually entered the lives of the general public... Although air conditioners were still very expensive in those days, with Miss Mu's financial situation, it was no big deal to get one.

Upon hearing this, Mu Liya complained a little: "Yang Mo hates using air conditioning, saying that he will get sick if he uses it too much; so there is no choice, there is no such thing installed in the house."

The midsummer in Qilu is horrible. Without air conditioning with better cooling effect, relying only on ceiling fans and floor fans is really unbearable for someone like Miss Mu who has been spoiled since childhood.

Lin Luosu sneered disdainfully: "What era is it now? Are you still playing the game of husband and wife following each other? If he can't use the air conditioner, can't we just sleep in separate beds? I want to see if he really cares about this when he gets impatient!"

Listening to her sister's vicious words, Muliya couldn't help but blushing and then spat viciously.

Ever since she let her man take her away, Yang Mo has become insatiable. Unless she is on her menstrual period, she can hardly avoid the one in the evening and the one in the morning...sometimes she even gets extra sex.

To be honest, although it is a very pleasing thing that the man I like is so greedy for my body, everything must be done in moderation... It is said that there is no land that can be plowed to death without being exhausted old cows, but if the land is plowed two or three times a day, the land will not be able to bear it, okay?

She and Eggplant Girl are very good sisters, so the other party naturally knows that she has come here to "escape" and what she is escaping from.

Although she was only Yang Mo's fiancée in name, from the actual legal point of view, the two of them were already officially a couple after the organization issued a certificate. The only thing missing was the wedding in more than a month with a public effect. But even so, she was still shameless after all. When she heard her sisters making fun of this, she wished she could bury her head in the ground.

Looking at Miss Mu's blushing face, Lin Luosu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

It is said that men are the best skin care products for women, and this is really not nonsense.

Miss Mu was already beautiful enough, but after getting engaged to Yang Mo and living together, she became much more beautiful in just one month.

If you want to tell me what's more beautiful about her, I can't put it into words right away, but I just feel that she is different from before. She seems to be rounder, more mature and charming.

Looking at this beauty in front of her who could make even women's hearts beat fast, Eggplant Girl felt indescribably depressed.

"Damn it! All the good cabbages were eaten by pigs!"

Lin Luosu had never been shy in front of her sisters. She blurted out her thoughts directly, and then slammed her chopsticks on the coffee table in a mad manner: "What's more infuriating is that this cabbage of mine can't be considered bad, but I have already put it directly in front of the pig's mouth, and the pig still won't move... Ahhh~ I'm so mad!"

Looking at the eggplant girl who was hysterically taking out her anger on the sofa behind her, Muliya couldn't help laughing.

Of course she knew who the "pig" her sister was talking about was.
In fact, the fact that Lin Luosu has been pursuing Song Wenxuan for some time is no longer a secret to many people.

To be fair, Lin Luosu actually looks quite good. Although he used to have a buzz cut which always gave people a feeling of being androgynous, after growing his hair for nearly two months, although his behavior is still quite ruffian, with his medium-short hair that just reaches his ears and his unsealed face as a backdrop, he has gained a different kind of attraction.

So, faced with such a beautiful girl with a very good family background and appearance pursuing him, Song Wenxuan never agreed, which really shocked many people.

After laughing, Mu Liya sighed, "Luoluo, love is something that cannot be rushed. Although I can see that Brother Song actually has a crush on you, he will not agree to your pursuit until his hotel chain project has a firm foothold... So, since you two have a crush on each other, you just need to wait a little longer."

Lin Luosu looked dissatisfied: "Why do we have to wait until his crappy hotels gain a foothold?"

Mu Liya looked at her with amusement: "What do you think?"

Lin Luosu glanced at her, and finally lowered her head in frustration: "I know it's because of my uncle, but I always thought that he shouldn't care about these things."

Mu Liya shook her head gently: "Men are all very proud. A man as outstanding as Brother Song is even more proud. "

"In fact, if it was a few years ago, maybe he wouldn't mind this kind of thing. After all, in a family like ours, the marriage of young people is an important part of optimizing resource allocation. Whether it is getting help from the husband's family or the wife's family, it is a normal thing;"

"But it's different now. With Yang Mo's past in mind, how could a proud man like Brother Song be willing to rely on a woman's help to achieve success unless he had no other choice? Wouldn't that be the same as admitting that he is not as good as Yang Mo... You know, Brother Song has always wanted to surpass Yang Mo."

As we all know, due to financial constraints and the large number of veterans and military dependents who needed resettlement, an official document was issued starting in 1985 that allowed the troops to engage in production and operation... This situation was not gradually controlled and reduced until 1991, and the separation and distribution rectification began in 1996, and was completely eliminated in 1998.

But one thing that must be made clear is that the state later simply did not allow the troops to directly participate in production management, but it did not deny providing them with blood transfusions and solving a series of difficulties through the tertiary industry management model.

In fact, the China Rongtong Asset Management Company, which became famous in later generations and was ranked the tenth among central enterprises and the second in terms of asset size, second only to Tie Lao Da, was a giant enterprise established by the state to better manage and increase the value of military assets (its predecessor existed in 2000).

Back to the topic, although the army has many tertiary industries at this time, they are mainly concentrated in import and export trade, mining, recruitment and reception, and real estate/infrastructure construction projects.

Regarding the management of these assets, different departments were responsible for it at different times...the logistics headquarters, the military production preparation group, the ten major subsidiaries, etc.

And it is obvious that at present, Lin Luosu's uncle is one of the main persons in charge of the relevant departments in the Qilu region... Even if it is not said directly, this can be seen from the previous details.

So do you understand? Under the current circumstances, as long as Lin Luosu's uncle is willing to help, Song Wenxuan can relatively easily advance the hotel chain project he leads to a large-scale level... Don't forget that the main body of the reception business is the hotel, and whether it is foreign-related qualifications or the pursuit of land in core areas, it is not a difficult task for people from Lin Luosu's uncle's faction (if you know something about the situation of Rongtong Asset Management Company, you will know that this is not nonsense)

Upon hearing this, Lin Luosu wanted to say that Song Wenxuan was also a member of Yang Mo's boat, and he even asked Yang Mo for a favor. In this situation, what was the point of still holding back his anger and trying to compete with Yang Mo? Wouldn't it be a joke if others knew about it?

But then she thought again, someone once told her that men are very unreasonable creatures;
When a man is forced to bow his head temporarily like another man, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. At most, he can save his face later. No one will laugh at him. Maybe they will even praise him for his mental fortitude and ability to endure the humiliation under his crotch.

But once a man bows to a woman, or relies on a woman's resources to rise to the top, he will be looked down upon by everyone...even himself.

This is so weird. Don't they say that success or failure determines a hero? Why do we have to distinguish between the two in this matter?
Damn male chauvinism! If I wait another two years, I will be a 25-year-old girl. What if people don’t like me by then? ?
Seeing Lin Luosu being indignant, Miss Mu shook her head helplessly, and then changed the subject: "Luoluo, I think that instead of spending all your time thinking about this, you should think about your next move in the future... Don't blame me for not reminding you. From my point of view, Brother Song has a high probability of not being able to suppress Yang Mo, so if you are kicked off the boat by my wife, your relationship with Brother Song will really be in jeopardy."

At this point, Mu Liya looked at Lin Luosu sincerely and said, "Believe me, Brother Song is very ambitious. When it comes to making a choice, the weight of you and the Lin family in his mind may not be as important as Yang Mo's big platform."

Lin Luosu was stunned at first, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but she couldn't say anything.

Indeed, Song Wenxuan was a man with a strong sense of career ambition. If not, he would not have shown such a nonchalant attitude towards Miss Mu.

Although if this kind of plot were put in a TV drama, it would most likely not be understood and might even draw a lot of criticism, but the fact is... learning to make choices has always been a compulsory course for these second-generation elites who are being trained, and it is also the most important course.

Think about it, if it is limited to the oil system, the comprehensive strength of the Mu family is actually not weaker than that of the Lin family; coupled with the blessing of personal feelings, Mu Liya's weight in Song Wenxuan's mind at the beginning was obviously greater than Lin Luosu's weight in his mind now;

Since Song Wenxuan was able to give up his pursuit of Miss Mu because of Mu Siyuan, is it difficult to understand why he chooses not to be with her because of Yang Mo?
Thinking of this, Lin Luosu threw away his chopsticks in annoyance, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Don't use your husband to scare people. I know he doesn't like me, but since I joined the gang, I haven't done anything to let him down, right?"

"Qingdao No. 1 Automobile Factory and Laiyang Agricultural College, which one of them was not connected by me through connections? Without my help, would he be able to run such a large-scale modified car fleet? Would his Momo Baishou be able to run smoothly? Would his artificial Coriolus versicolor cultivation base be able to be established?"

"He kicked me off the boat? Bah! Does he have the nerve to kick me?!"

Looking at the angry Eggplant Girl, Mu Liya shook her head with amusement: "Luoluo, you still haven't changed your habit of getting angry when you're nervous... If you weren't afraid that Yang Mo would kick you off the boat, why would you react so strongly?"

As she spoke, Mu Liya handed over the pair of untouched chopsticks in front of her: "Indeed, in the past six months, you have done a lot of things and achieved some results... But you should know that these things were either done under Yang Mo's guidance, or they were things that Yang Mo could do on his own."

"In other words, your joining has not demonstrated your indispensability, nor your sufficient value. To put it bluntly, it makes no difference whether Yang Mo has you or not. It's just a matter of a little more effort. "

"I know Yang Mo very well. He may be a very casual person in private, but at work, he is rational to the point of being cold... If you can't demonstrate your own value, even if you are my good sister and my chosen bridesmaid, he will definitely kick you off the boat."

At this point, Mu Liya's tone was full of admonition: "There are many people who want to board Yang Mo's ship now. You should also know that many of them are actually more well-off than us. In the final analysis, we got this qualification because we took the lead... So, I can tell you responsibly that this place on board is very precious, even more precious than you think!"

Hearing the words "designated bridesmaid", Lin Luosu's increasingly ugly expression finally eased, but she still sneered: "Indispensability?"

"Mu Tou, do you think too highly of me?"

"According to what you said, your husband is extremely capable. Is there anything he can't do? Is there anything he can't accomplish with just a little effort?"

"And the question of indispensability? I'd like to know who among the people we know is indispensable to us... Isn't that asking too much?"

Meeting a leader who is much more capable than you in every aspect is probably the most frustrating thing, because it is difficult for you to find an opportunity to demonstrate your own value. Even if you work hard to do a good job, in the eyes of such a leader, it is just a matter of course and without difficulty.

This is different from encountering leaders who know nothing and are self-righteous.

The latter is because you don't understand, so you think it's easy. You can complain about it in private, and then build up a subtle sense of superiority and contempt in your heart.

The former, on the other hand, thinks that there is no difficulty at all because their abilities are too strong. You gain nothing except inadvertent failure and self-denial again and again. You don't even have the confidence to complain.

Unfortunately, in Lin Luosu's opinion, Yang Mo belongs to the former.

So in her opinion, wanting to show her irreplaceability in front of Yang Mo is simply a pipe dream. Chunchun is a bowl of poisonous chicken soup that can kill people.

Seeing this, Mu Liya shrugged her shoulders and said, "Luoluo, I think you misunderstood me. When I say irreplaceable, I don't mean absolutely irreplaceable, but relatively irreplaceable... In fact, even Yang Mo himself is not absolutely irreplaceable;"

"To put it simply, it means that you have demonstrated sufficient ability and initiative in a certain aspect of your work, so that the guy feels that you can free up a lot of his energy and time in this area. That's enough."

At this point, Mu Liya paused slightly: "For example, Sister Zhuo, she is now relatively irreplaceable in equity design and publicity work... It's not that Yang Mo can't do equity design by himself, nor can he do publicity work by himself, but it's not worth spending so much time and energy on this. Even if he does it himself, he won't be much better than Sister Zhuo;"

"For example, this is also true for me in terms of brand overseas expansion, and for Brother Song in terms of channel expansion.

"In a word, if you want to be relatively irreplaceable and not be kicked off the ship, the help and value you provide to Yang Mo must at least not be lower than the opportunity cost he may lose."

Mu Liya looked at Lin Luosu earnestly and said, "Yang Mo has many big plans in his mind. The biggest advantage of joining his team is that you can be the first person to execute these plans;"

"Although on the surface, we have a mutually beneficial relationship, but in fact, we are not the only ones who can perform these tasks and provide assistance to Yang Mo; but the only one who can provide us with this opportunity is Yang Mo;"

"So a very cruel reality is that although we did take the initiative to help Yang Mo, in fact, you can't use the "equivalent exchange" that ordinary people talk about all the time to measure this matter... Compared with the help we provide, the opportunities that Yang Mo can provide are undoubtedly much more valuable;"

"Opportunities are invisible and intangible, but you and I both know that they are one of the most precious things in the world. So, even in the eyes of ordinary people, Sister Zhuo and Brother Song's initial efforts without regard for cost are foolish behavior, but as long as they can get a newer and bigger opportunity, their efforts are worth it, and they can even make a lot of money... Luoluo, you should also understand this principle!"

Lin Luosu's mouth twitched when she heard this. Although Mu Liya's words seemed like she had to say thank you after being sold out and then help count money obediently, she knew that this was the rule of the world... There was nothing she could do about it, it was because she didn't have control over the scarce resources.

Thinking of this, she sighed, "Okay, Mu Tou, I know what you mean, but even if I know what's the use, even if I correct my attitude, I won't have the opportunity to show my ability in front of your husband... I only have one transport fleet, and it's fully loaded. Even if I want to do something, I can't do anything!"

Mu Liya looked at her sister who hadn't reacted yet in silence: "Luoluo...what do you want me to say about you?"

"Have you not reacted yet?"

"Just as you said, let alone Yang Mo, who among those who are qualified to board the ship can really treat your transport team of only more than 300 modified trucks as a dish?"

Seeing Miss Mu's expression of hopeless hopelessness, Eggplant Girl blinked her eyes and it took her a long while to react: "Mu Tou, you mean... the light and heavy industrial products exchange plan that your husband proposed two months ago?"

Seeing this, Mu Liya breathed a sigh of relief: "Luoluo, you are not hopelessly stupid... The importance of the 5 billion light and heavy industrial product exchange plan to Yang Mo and even Dezhou and Lanling is self-evident, right?"

"I can tell you responsibly that there has been no follow-up to this matter so far. Yang Mo has become a little impatient and even plans to significantly reduce the scale in order to go it alone... So, I don't need to say more about what you should do next, right?"

The eggplant girl gasped.

Would you rather downsize and go it alone?

That guy is so persistent?

She understood and couldn't help but twitch her lips: "You mean... let me do the mobilization work for my uncle?"

Mu Liya nodded gently: "Unity is good for both sides, separation is bad for both sides; these eight words are clearly shown in this matter. Now some rumors have begun to spread, and you should also understand the current situation of your uncle... No matter from which angle, Luoluo, you should also convince your uncle to do his best to promote this matter."

As mentioned earlier, in 1991, the state began to shrink and control the army's direct participation in production and operations. For such a big thing, it is impossible for a document to come out suddenly. Before that, it is always necessary to lay the groundwork for public opinion and gradually carry out ideological unification work.

Therefore, in August 1990, it was normal for Lin Luosu's uncle and other people who were concerned about this matter to hear some news at this time.

Hearing the words "Unity is good for both sides, separation is bad for both sides", Lin Luosu, who had always been reluctant to get too involved in this matter, finally hesitated...
