1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 638 Has anyone ever told you that you are a big pervert?

March 22nd, the Spring Equinox has just passed.

The moon lingers in the green fields, and the clouds are intermittent on sunny days.

Although the climate in the Central Plains is far less pleasant than that in the South, it has one advantage... the four seasons are extremely distinct.

So, although we had to wear cotton coats when going out half a month ago, as soon as the vernal equinox arrived, the streets were immediately filled with piles of thin sweaters.

With the temperature approaching 20 degrees, plus the bright spring sunshine and lush greenery, everyone should be in a good mood.

So Zhuomali was in a good mood.
very good.

………………

"Boss, I'm back... How are you? I haven't seen you for so many days. Do you miss me, your sister?"

As soon as she got off the car, Zhuo Mali went straight to Yang Mo's office, put the bags in her hands in front of Yang Mo, and leaned on the desk with a smile.

It was lunch time and Zhuomali was working at Texas City Real Estate Company, so knowing Yang Mo's temper well, she didn't feel restrained at all.

Boss?

Hearing that Zhuo Mali did not address him as "brother" as usual, but used these two words, Yang Mo, who was chewing a steamed bun and looking at the documents, raised his head with a smile on his face: "You're back? How was it? Was the trip smooth?"

Zhuo Mali looked at him with a smile: "You have already given notice in advance, how could it not go smoothly... Smoothly, of course it went smoothly!"

"Yes, this is the gift that godfather brought you. Yak jerky, Menyuan honey, Qilian yellow mushroom, rhodiola rosea... and the Poria cocos tea that you specifically requested."

After placing the items in front of Yang Mo one by one, Zhuo Mali paused slightly, her face still charming, but her eyes more serious: "Boss, thank you!"

Yang Mo knew what she was thanking him for, but waved his hand indifferently: "A good blacksmith must be strong himself. In the end, it's up to you, Sister Zhuo, to do your best."

"Mr. Zhao called me the day before yesterday and expressed his satisfaction with you, his new goddaughter. He said that your interpersonal skills and professional accomplishments far exceeded his expectations. "

"The most important thing is that he has a unique insight into the planning and ideas of the industries in Qinghai and the linkage between the industries in Qinghai and Dezhou. He has gained a lot in the past few days;"

"If I hadn't persuaded him that you were my right-hand man and that Dezhou couldn't do without you, he would have spared my life. Otherwise, he would have taken you to Qinghai and transferred you into the administrative system to help him."

At this point, Yang Mo sighed, and then looked at Zhuo Mali with a worried look on his face: "Speaking of which, Sister Zhuo, there are a lot of things going on in Dezhou. You can't let the old man persuade you to leave me alone and run off to Qinghai!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuomali couldn't help but giggle.

As smart as she is, how could she not know that this brother was giving her reassurance?
If she still feels unsafe with the identity of Mr. Zhao's goddaughter, she can just transfer to the administrative system in Qinghai when she feels the situation is not good. Today's Qinghai is different from other regions. With Mr. Zhao there to keep an eye on things, those people with bad intentions don't have the ability to reach so far.

This is a double promise made by Yang Mo and Mr. Zhao, and its value could not be higher.

Thinking of this, she looked at Yang Mo with a complicated look in her eyes. After tilting her head, she leaned forward without any hesitation: "Boss, to be honest, I think I don't quite understand you... Is it that serious?"

As she spoke, she pulled her work clothes with a hint of resentment, and looked down at the explosive body wrapped in a thin sweater: "Or do you think that I am too old and ugly to be worthy of you?"

To be honest, Yang Mo did not take advantage of her situation to accept her advances last time, which made her feel indescribably grateful, but it also dealt her a great blow.

Of course, there are more doubts.

It seemed like a very simple matter to her, which could be solved by sleeping with her; but Yang Mo went through so much trouble and went through so much trouble, and even had to pay a huge favor with her.

Yang Mo looked at the pretty face less than half a meter away from him speechlessly.

Being regarded as the dream lover by countless young employees of Dahua Company and even being remembered by so many people around her, this sister must be a stunner... both in terms of face and figure.

Whether you admit it or not, there are actually quite a number of women who become more attractive as they age, and some even enter their golden age only after they are thirty years old...such as He Qing and White Snake.

And Zhuomali also belongs to this category.

Even though this peach will be turning 29 in two months, and is definitely in her thirties, the maturity emanating from her body and the charm between her brows are enough to turn most young and pretty girls into assholes in seconds. He can be called poison.

So, just listen to the self-pity about being old and ugly. Probably no one knows her own charm better than this sister, otherwise she would not have made the decision to throw herself into the arms of a man.

At that moment, he smiled helplessly: "Sister Zhuo, you are very beautiful and charming. I think there are very few men in this world who can resist having feelings for you... I am neither a saint nor Liu Xiahui. If I say I am not moved by such a beautiful woman offering herself to me, I would be lying."

"But, in life, there must always be a bottom line."

"If we were all single adults, and if we were just playing around willingly, and a beauty like this took the initiative to throw herself at me, then I would naturally not refuse... But unfortunately, I already have a family; and it is obvious that you, Sister Zhuo, were not really willing at the time."

At this point, Yang Mo leaned back on the chair and looked at Zhuo Mali seriously: "Sister Zhuo, I have said some things more than once before, but it seems that you don't believe them very much. But now you have basically no worries, so I might as well say it again... Of course, I also hope that this is the last explanation I make."

"First, you are very capable and have great potential."

"As a partner, your ability and potential are enough for me to pay a price to protect you without violating my principles... even if the price is to owe Mr. Zhao a big favor."

"Second, I have my own principles for employing people."

"I've said before that I look down on the HIV relationship binding that the second-generation rich people in Dongying are playing. In my opinion, only incompetent losers would use such a shameless method to bind others... Anyone with a little bit of vision and self-confidence would not bother to do this."

"As the saying goes, cherish the fate when it comes, and let it go when it goes."

"I don't have the nerve to set any values, but I hope that my partners and assistants are willing to work with me because they believe they can make a difference with me, rather than having to follow me all the way for various reasons... Subjective initiative is very important, and the higher the position, the more important it is. I can clearly distinguish between active work and passive work."

At the end, Yang Mo spread his hands: "In short, Sister Zhuo, you can understand that I am a person who wants to do something, but is afraid of being entangled in cause and effect, no matter whether this cause and effect looks very tempting... Can you understand?"

I understand. I understand very well.

Aren’t you just afraid that after I become your woman, public and private matters will be mixed up, creating a lot of unnecessary trouble and variables out of thin air?
This kind of thing has happened too many times.

Zhuo Mali curled her lips and said, "After all, you just want me, your sister, to be your slave."

"Well, you win. Didn't you see me running to your side as soon as I got off the car? Tell me, is there anything you need me to tell you?"

Seeing this, Yang Mo laughed immediately, then stood up and walked to the filing cabinet, took out a few folders and placed them in front of her: "You went to Qinghai on business a few days ago, and those foreign business delegations happened to arrive in Dezhou one after another. The company was short-handed, so I helped you sort out the work first... These are the contract docking lists I selected for you, as well as the key conditions in the negotiation process. Take a look at them this afternoon so that you have a clear idea."

Zhuo Mali took the folder, opened it and glanced at it briefly. She was a little surprised: "Why are most of them wineries and sporting goods companies?"

No wonder she was surprised.

These two types of industries are already Dahua's strong areas and there is no need to focus on them as the focus of industrial succession.

There is no need to say much about alcohol. The domestic demand for liquor and beer has remained high. Qilu itself is a super consumer of liquor. In addition, Miss Mu's brand overseas expansion plan has led to a large amount of rice wine and beer being exported to Northeast Asia. The wineries in Dezhou, Laiwu and Lanling are almost having problems coordinating raw materials.

The same is true for sporting goods and fitness equipment. Although the Asian Games have been over for a year and a half, the domestic enthusiasm has basically subsided, but the foreign demand has remained high. Relying on the traffic dividend during the Asian Games period, Texas has taken a bite of the European and American markets. At least the basic plate has stabilized.

Therefore, Zhuo Mali was very confused as to why Yang Mo wanted to focus on these two areas.

In her opinion, the greatest significance of paying so much for industrial transfer, in addition to creating jobs, is that it can incubate and drive local related industries. This kind of thing should give priority to potential industries that have not yet developed in Texas, rather than allocating limited resources to these two already well-developed industrial fields.

Hearing Zhuo Mali's question, Yang Mo smiled and said, "First grow bigger, then become stronger. This is an eternal truth."

"Indeed, if we make a horizontal comparison, the fields of liquor, beer, sporting goods, and fitness equipment in Texas are already relatively large in China... But their scale is still not large enough, at least it is far from the level where they can form barriers through economies of scale."

"As for becoming stronger, that's even further away."

"Dezhou's industrial upgrading is taking the route of medium and high added value. Taking this route means that it must adopt the strategy of independent brands/manufacturers + overseas markets. Only in this way can sufficient profits flow back continuously, thus promoting a positive cycle of the industry."

"If you want to establish your own brand and label overseas, market, quality and technology are all indispensable." "But in terms of quality and technology, our products in many fields may be relatively outstanding in China, but on a global scale, there is still a long way to go to catch up;"

"So we need to take over related industries from island countries and Europe and the United States, increase the scale of the industry in the shortest possible time, obtain transferred technology and sufficient skilled workers, and on this basis break through technological independence to fill this gap."

"At the moment, the island nation is the top priority, and it is also the key to whether we can achieve industrial iteration in the short term... So, you have to pay more attention to this aspect."

Island country?

Zhuo Mali was a little confused. Whether it was beer or sports goods and fitness equipment, the market size in Europe and the United States was obviously larger than that of the island country. Why did the island country become the focus?
Yang Mo was not surprised that Zhuo Mali was confused, and he just explained calmly: "It has been more than a year since the island country's economic bubble began to burst;"

"After all, it is the world's second largest economy. Although the island nation's economy has experienced dramatic fluctuations for more than a year, except for the upper class and senior executives of some large companies, the entire society is still full of optimism. They think that this economic crisis is just a common cold and will soon pass."

"But in fact, we all know that once America is determined to get blood from an island country with incomplete sovereignty, its economic fluctuations will never return to normal before it has absorbed enough blood... and judging from the current situation, this state will last for a very long time, long enough to exceed the imagination of all islanders."

“So, a very realistic problem lies ahead.”

"There is a limit to how much people can psychologically endure when faced with a gap."

"Faced with the economic depression, ordinary people in the island nation can comfort themselves with all kinds of reasons, one month, half a year, a year, or even a year and a half;"

"But what if it takes longer?"

“What if it’s not one or two years, or even three or four years?”

With a slightly evil smile on his face, Yang Mo looked at Zhuo Mali steadily and said, "Generally speaking, when faced with a dilemma that they are helpless against, people can only maintain a positive attitude for 18 to 22 months at most. Once this limit is exceeded, they will quickly fall into confusion and helplessness."

"Even though the Japanese are known for their forbearance and ability to withstand pressure, this number won't last too long... Moreover, we all know that many Japanese people don't really have that strong mental qualities."

"Then the question is, once the islanders are trapped in a huge atmosphere of loss and frustration and cannot extricate themselves, what changes will occur in consumption behavior?"

Zhuo Mali, who had roughly understood Yang Mo's meaning, blurted out without hesitation: "Drunkenness!"

"The social pressure on the island countries is huge. Almost all adult men have the habit of drinking. Once they have a mental breakdown, this historical behavior will quickly turn into alcoholism... Although it is unlikely that everyone will become an alcoholic, the proportion will definitely not be low!"

Yang Mo nodded: "The sake in the island country is not cheap to begin with, and excessive drinking will greatly increase expenses. Unfortunately, the economy of the island country will not be prosperous for quite a long time in the future. With reduced income, facing the almost rigid demand for alcoholism... What do you think will happen then?"

Zhuo Mali answered without hesitation: "Consumption will be downgraded. By then, a considerable number of people will no longer pursue high-end pure rice daiginjo or pure rice ginjo produced in their own country as before. Instead, they will consume daiginjo or domestic sake and beer below that level... Of course, the obsession with the unity of body and land will be broken by then, and foreign substitute products will be accepted."

At this point, Zhuo Mali's eyes lit up: "Boss, I understand. The reason why you want to undertake the wine industry is actually to take the opportunity to enter the island country's sake market and use China's pure rice ginjo to impact their own country's daiginjo-level wine market, so as to form a smooth replacement;"

"But we still don't know much about the production process of sake in the island countries, especially the brewing process of mid-to-high-end sake. If we produce it ourselves, the taste will be very different. So we need to establish a joint venture to understand their process and at the same time open a way in... After all, for a product like sake that carries a strong cultural symbol of the country, the protection barrier of the island countries is very strong."

Yang Mo nodded happily: "Yes, that's what I mean. We need profits, but we also need a stepping stone!"

"The same goes for sportswear, sports gear, and even sports equipment."

"The downgrade of consumption in the island nation has become inevitable, and it has even begun to form a trend, which has led to more and more people starting to be frugal;"

"It's just that the island nation's deformed social culture and decades of high pressure have given rise to many rigid demands."

"One very important point is that although the Japanese people usually give people a silent, serious and old-fashioned impression, in fact, their demand for spiritual culture is much stronger than that of people in other regions. It has even become a necessity to maintain their mental health!"

"The rapid rise of animation, games, music, film and television, and entertainment variety shows since last year is a reflection of this rigid demand."

"However, not everyone likes these things. Animation, games and entertainment variety shows are more suitable for young people and family members. Many white-collar workers and small bosses, especially those who need to work hard to support their families, actually prefer to maintain their mental state and energy through low-cost exercise that can produce endorphins to cope with the heavy work and life pressure."

"So in this case, the island country's sportswear, sports goods, and fitness equipment markets will usher in a wave of explosive growth... At the same time, based on the overall environment of consumption downgrade, part of this new market can be competed for by substitute products and emerging domestic and foreign brands."

"Since the island nation already has a habit of exercising, even if we face competition from traditional strong brands in Europe and the United States, the market size left for us to enter is already very considerable."

"But the problem is that although my country's chemical, textile and smelting industries are large in scale, their research and development of new materials is obviously lagging behind the international advanced level. Many high-tech materials used in running shoes, rackets, sportswear, baseballs and fitness equipment cannot be produced at all, or there is no intellectual property right;"

"As for ergonomics, we have a long way to go. There is not even a specialized research institution in China... But these are the aspects that can make the biggest difference in sports goods, generate the most premium difference, and are most likely to attract customers."

"Therefore, we must take advantage of the fact that the relevant companies in the island countries cannot afford the high labor costs in their own countries. We must borrow the influence of Mr. Hashimoto and actively promote the industrial cooperation between the two sides, so as to seek an opportunity for the iteration and digestion of related technologies."

At this point, Yang Mo waved his hand and said, "As long as we can get enough technology transfer, even if we pay a little more, it is acceptable."

"We're just OEM, what's there to be afraid of? Once we've digested the technology... With our channel base in the island country, don't we have the confidence to incubate a few independent brands?"

"What's more, there are many useful technologies in the field of sporting goods."

"I heard that the island country's carbon fiber technology is at the forefront of the world... This thing has a wide range of uses!"

When Zhuo Mali heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, “I knew you were just coveting other people’s good things.”

However, everyone around Yang Mo knows that this guy is a pure angry young man. Although the cooperation between Dahua Company and the island country is extremely close, in fact, this guy doesn't like that side at all. Whenever he has a chance, he either PUAs the other party in cultural output or sets traps for the other party. It is normal for him to make money from others while coveting their good things.

She has no psychological pressure on this. It's not a few years later, and there aren't so many Japanophiles now.

........................

After another half an hour of explanation, the conversation came to an end as it was almost time to go to work.

Yang Mo now has an extremely complicated workload. Since he has already helped her sort out the list and negotiation points, as the general assistant, Zhuo Mali can just take them back and digest them slowly. There is absolutely no reason to occupy the other party's precious working time.

This guy is notoriously lazy, which is because the plate is too big now and there are too many tasks that he has to handle. If it were in the past, he would get angry with anyone who dared to delay his get off work time.

She picked up the folder, stood up and looked at the man in front of her, who was completely different from anyone she had met before in every way.
Zhuo Mali suddenly smiled at him charmingly: "Brother, have you read Dream of the Red Chamber?"

Yang Mo was stunned: "Book or TV series? I've seen the TV series, but not the book."

Zhuo Mali suddenly leaned forward: "That's not important. What's important is... has anyone ever told you that you are very similar to Jia Baoyu in some ways?"

Jia Baoyu?
Yang Mo was confused and blinked his eyes: "You mean... I am actually very good-looking too?"

He really couldn't think of anything in common between himself and that sissy Jia Baoyu.

Apart from being both male physically, the only thing that could connect them was that they were not ugly.

Hearing this guy shamelessly comparing her looks to Jia Baoyu, Zhuo Mali burst into a chuckle, her body shaking, and her plump chest, which could hardly be covered by her work clothes, was rippling in circles, which made Yang Mo almost angry.

"Brother, I didn't realize that you are so thick-skinned that you can even serve as a city wall."

After a long while, Zhuo Mali stopped laughing and got up to leave.

When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around, with a different kind of teasing and flirtatious expression on his face: "What I mean is...brother, has anyone ever told you that you are just like Jia Baoyu, a notorious lecher?"

After saying that, he opened the door and left.

Looking at the door being closed, Yang Mo, who had only been staring at Lin Daiyu on TV, was dumbfounded.

A thief?

No, shouldn't you be praising me for being principled, respecting women, and being able to remain calm in the face of temptation, and being a rare gentleman in the system?

how……

Becoming a rapist again?
