Volume 6: The Great Change Chapter 0881 Killing the Rouge Street Man
"Come in."
In the office of the chairman of Shencun Reclamation Group, Ge Cuizhu shouted outside the door.
The door was pushed open, and Shi Guofeng walked into the office from outside, "Chairman, Kong Juqi from the bad seed breeding is here."
Ge Cuizhu put down her pen, raised her head, and said, "Did you send Wuwei to the destination?"
“It has been delivered.”
"Let Mr. Kong come in."
Shi Guofeng left, and soon a middle-aged man walked into the office.
"Juqi, sit down."
After thanking him, Kong Juqi sat opposite Ge Cuizhu, took out a document from his briefcase, and immediately began to report.
"Chairman, Mr. Cai, our partner in Taicun, called me and said that the price of Tibetan mastiffs in Taicun is close to collapse. He no longer needs to supply Tibetan mastiffs to him. We are about to lose the Taicun market."
"It's okay. We knew from the beginning that the business in Taicun wouldn't last long. We've made a little money from Taicun in the past few years, and we've recovered 60% to 70% of the cost of investing in the Mastiff Garden. That's already pretty good, Juqi, you've done a good job."
Ge Cuizhu expressed her appreciation for Kong Juqi's work.
"Thank you for the compliment, Chairman."
"If you do well, you deserve a reward. Just wait until the end of the year. Juqi, you go on." Ge Cuizhu gestured with her hand.
"Okay." Kong Juqi flipped open the document in his hand. "Lunzhu from the California Mastiff Farm sent me a fax a few days ago. The price of Tibetan Mastiffs in the United States is very stable. It has neither risen nor fallen. The market is still very cold. The sales volume is flat, with no obvious growth."
“Not every American has read The Travels of Marco Polo, and not every American is curious about Tibetan mastiffs. In the United States, we should treat Tibetan mastiffs as a breed of dog and promote them as pets.
Therefore, I am not in a hurry. It is enough for the US to achieve a balance of payments for the time being. The market needs to be cultivated slowly. However, we need the news of several American tycoons buying "Tiger Mastiff" with huge sums of money to match the hype in China.
You continue. "
"Jiayang from Kathmandu Mastiff Farm reported that no one has gone to Nepal and Bhutan to buy Tibetan mastiffs. Luosang from Nagqu Mastiff Farm reported that the third generation of tiger mastiffs has better fur color and stronger aura than the previous two generations. Chairman, here are the photos."
Kong Juqi took out a photo from the folder and handed it to Ge Cuizhu.
Ge Cuizhu took it and looked at it, then nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, it makes people feel scared, and it has a strong momentum."
"In addition, I have found a literary creator among the educated youth who went to Tibet to work in the countryside. He raised Tibetan mastiffs when he was working in the countryside and is very familiar with their habits.
I have already agreed with him to write a literary work about Tibetan mastiffs based on the tiger mastiff. He has already written about 30,000 words and decided on the name of the work, "Mastiff Totem."
Ge Cuizhu nodded and said, "After the work is completed, please contact Mr. Gong of Beijing Wangbei Media. We will let Wangbei Media follow up on the publishing and film and television adaptation work."
"OK."
After Kong Juqi left, Ge Cuizhu met with the heads of several subsidiary companies, including the Jigongtan Breeding Base, Xiangkeng Vegetable Supply Company, Baiguoyuan, Vegetable Basket Engineering Company, Sunflower Food Company, Kent Hill Company, Chongming Bird, and Eel Farm.
These enterprises have one thing in common: they are all currently profitable. The Kenzhi Group is investing in Tieshan Dairy and is about to establish the Kenzhi Cold Chain Company. In particular, the Kenzhi Cold Chain is extremely expensive, with an initial investment of 700 million yuan, which puts a lot of pressure on the Kenzhi Group.
Although the Kenzhi Group is bustling with companies opening one after another, in fact, only two of them can bring in profits of over 100 million yuan each year in recent years - the eel farm and the Xiangkeng vegetable supply company. The others are still in the growth stage and can contribute very limited profits.
Eel farms not only supply eels to Japan, but also sturgeon caviar and KELP kelp caviar, with annual profits reaching more than 13 billion yen. However, the yen has been rising in recent years, and most of the profits of eel farms are retained overseas in the form of yen, with only a small portion flowing back.
On the contrary, Xiangkeng Vegetable Supply Company can generate a lot of RMB profits every day. In the domestic market, Xiangkeng Vegetable Supply Company is the cash cow of the Kenzhi Group.
The Kenzhi Group does not have 700 million yuan in its account, and can barely scrape together 400 million yuan by piecing together money from all sources. Although the receivables will exceed the payables in the future, there is a problem. Most of the payables have to be paid before the receivables. This means that an emergency fund must be kept in the account, and a reserve fund must be prepared to deal with crises. No matter how you calculate it, only 200 million yuan can be withdrawn to invest in Kenzhi Cold Chain.
Ge Cuizhu was very troubled. According to the investment cycle of the cold chain of Kenzhi, she would have to raise 500 million yuan in the next year and a half. Where should she get the money?
It is unlikely to draw blood from the subsidiaries. It is foreseeable that in the next one and a half years, no subsidiary will be able to generate a profit of 500 million yuan.
It is unlikely to get a loan. The most valuable thing of the Reclamation Group is its intangible asset technology reserve, which banks do not recognize at all. For example, there is plenty of Yangtze River knife fish in the Yangtze River, so there is no point in breeding them. Tangible assets with horns, hair, scales, shells and wings are also waste assets that banks do not recognize. There are very few with iron or bricks, so even if you try to overestimate them, you cannot estimate how much money they are worth.
Just when Ge Cuizhu was having a headache, Wang Changgen, the person in charge of the Central China region who supported the beekeepers, was extremely heartbroken.
Since joining the Reclamation Group and supporting beekeepers, Wang Changgen has been riding a motorcycle through the green mountains and clear waters of central China, following in the footsteps of beekeepers.
He used to work in an agricultural technology station, and his expertise was in bee breeding and disease control. After becoming an employee supporting beekeepers, he learned advanced beekeeping knowledge summarized by the company and communicated frequently with other colleagues. He is now an out-and-out beekeeping expert.
He loves his current job very much. Although it is a bit hard and he has to work outdoors in the wind and sun, what he does is very meaningful and he also gets a good salary and the respect of his fellow beekeepers.
Whenever he arrived at a beekeeping site, he would always receive the warmest hospitality, and the beekeeper couple would always do their best to cook him a delicious meal in their simple kitchen in the wild.
Because he not only provides technical support to beekeepers, but also serves as a creditor and honey purchasing boss. He has multiple roles and deserves respect in every role.
At this moment, he looked at the two barrels of honey on the ground. He felt heartbroken, really heartbroken. His trust had been thrown away.
The color of the honey in the barrel was wrong. According to his experience, it was obviously honey that had been fed with sugar, and was an inferior grade of honey. However, he bought it back at the premium price, and it was not purchased in cash, but used to pay off debts.
"Wang Shunlin, you bastard." Wang Changgen kicked over two barrels of honey on the ground and roared angrily.
Wang Changgen has always trusted beekeepers. When collecting honey, if the quantity is small, he will check the quality. If the quantity is large, he will only check a bottle or a barrel and determine the grade of the honey so as to calculate the purchase price.
Over the years, he had never failed, but today, he failed, at the hands of a fellow villager. Because Wang Shunlin was his fellow villager, the two grew up together and knew each other well, so he violated the "support amount" limit for beekeepers and lent 50,000 yuan as a guarantee for Wang Shunlin, so as to expand the scale of breeding from the beginning.
Wang Shunlin has been raising bees for a year, and this is the first time he has sold honey back to the beekeeper support to pay off his debts. This is abnormal, indicating that Wang Shunlin sold the honey he produced before to outsiders. This is nothing, there is no exclusive agreement between the beekeeper support and the beekeeper, and the beekeeper can sell the honey to anyone as long as he pays off the borrowed money.
However, not only did Wang Shunlin not repay the money before, but now he is using inferior honey to pay off his debts, pretending to be premium honey. How can Wang Changgen explain this to the company?
Money is a small matter. Two barrels of honey don't cost much. Wang Changgen could pay for it himself. But his trust was broken. It can also be said that his faith was broken. The beauty in his eyes was broken.
From then on, he no longer dared to give beekeepers unconditional trust; from then on, when purchasing honey, he would carefully inspect the goods.
Also, he had to recover the 50,000 yuan from Wang Shunlin as soon as possible.
But first, he had to write a report and submit it to his superiors, admitting the mistakes he had made.
Northeast, Gongmitun, Yumi County.
A short middle-aged man was walking in the field. From time to time, he would squat down to check the rice plants.
In the rice fields, there are some scarecrows scattered around in different shapes, some look very lifelike, and some look a little messy; some boys are waving a bamboo pole or a wooden stick in their hands and shuttling between the rice fields; the adults hold a winnowing basket in one hand and grab a black thing from the basket with the other hand, then bend down and place it at the roots of the rice plants.
On a small earthen slope not far from the rice fields, there is a vertical pole with three loudspeakers on the top, which vibrate and play Do-Re-Mi music into the ears of everyone in the field.
The song played is called "Conquest of Paradise", a work by Greek musician Vangelis, which was just released at the beginning of this year.
Such a song seems a bit out of place in the rural areas of Northeast China, just like the way of working in the rice fields, which looks very different .
Next to the rice fields, there are signs made of iron sheets, painted in yellow and gray, with the words "Customer Number ×××" written on them, and on a separate line, the coordinates of the longitude and latitude.
Weird, everything seems weird!
Especially the adults and children working in the fields, each of them had a sweet smile on their face that came from the bottom of their hearts.
This is Gongmi Village, and it is also the implementation site of the Gongmi Project of Baoguo Migu Company. The farmers in Gongmi Village are all working for Baoguo Migu. Baoguo Migu provides seeds and organic fertilizers. The rice grown by farmers is recycled by Baoguo Migu at 8 yuan per catty, and the farmers can earn 5 yuan per catty.
The land is good, and the quality of seeds and fertilizers is also very good. The farmers take good care of them. One acre of land can produce more than 900 kilograms of rice, creating an income of 4,500 yuan. With the help of two adults and children, it is easy to take care of four or five acres of land, which means an annual income of nearly 20,000 yuan.
Rich people always cherish their lives. Their information channels are often much wider than those of ordinary people. Large-scale industry is developing in full swing, and the extensive use of pesticides and fertilizers has continuously improved food products, but rich people are on the road of returning to primitive times.
The word “organic” is still a new term nowadays, but some wealthy people have already tasted it.
Since the Gongmi Project is operated by the National Rice Hub, there is no doubt that the rice produced by Gongmi Village is sold in Japan and is sold to the relatively wealthy class. There is no brand, no fancy packaging, and after paying the extremely high agricultural product tariff, the rice that costs 8 yuan per kilogram becomes 3,500 yen per kilogram in the hands of Japanese customers.
The profit margin is high, but the profit amount is not very high. The annual sales volume is very limited. The amount of rice required by a customer in a year is limited, just like the rice fields in Gongmitun, which are divided into small plots of two, three, three, or four centimeters. The output of each plot belongs to a different customer.
There will be certain subtle differences in the planting methods depending on the softness or hardness of the rice that the customers prefer. Some customers even have more peculiar needs and requirements, such as the rice they eat must grow in the bath of music. This is why Gongmitun plays music like "Conquest of Paradise". There is no other reason, it is all specified by the customers.
Some villagers like music, while some don’t. The villagers who like it are responsible for tending the rice fields of the customers who requested it. They can earn 3 yuan more per kilogram of rice and make more money without any extra work. How can they not like it?
There is a rice processing plant on a flat land not far from the rice fields. All the rice harvested from the rice fields will be processed into rice in this processing plant.
At this time, the rice huller was working. Rice bran came out from one hole and dark-colored rice rolled out from another hole. A hand stretched out from the air and caught the rolling rice. With five fingers spread out, the rice passed through the palm and continued to roll into the container below, leaving only a few grains in the palm.
These grains of rice became the objects of random inspection and were sent under a microscope and in test tubes for observation and testing. Through random inspection, the dark rice was put into bags for packaging without further drying and polishing, and it did not look very good.
The two bags of rice were packed and immediately moved to a car outside the processing plant. The driver was ordered to deliver the rice to the Rose Hotel in Fengtian.
…
"I can tell you don't look like you're here to buy anything. Go away and don't interfere with me greeting other customers." The beautiful salesperson rolled her eyes at Nan Yi and didn't answer Nan Yi's question directly.
"Hey, sister, you are a fellow disciple of Sun Wukong. You have also been to Laozi's alchemy furnace, with his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils." Nan Yi said with a smile, "Since you have seen through it, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I am not here to buy things, but to find you.
I heard people say that the salesperson selling dried seafood here has a beautiful nose. When I saw you, I believed it. Wow, look at you, so handsome."
The salesperson in front of Nan Yi was tall, almost 1.7 meters, with a very fair face, exposed neck and arms, a well-proportioned figure, long legs and a thin waist. Her facial features looked very dignified at first glance, a typical face of peace and prosperity. But if you look closely, you will find that her eyes are a little strange, very seductive and charming.
Through the white work clothes with the collar open wide, Nan Yi could see that the salesperson was wearing a Jiaoshan with a small yellow flower on the chest. Nan Yi saw many women wearing it on the street these days, and he felt strange at the time because he had never seen Jiaoshan selling women's clothing anywhere else.
He asked Dagang about it, and he said it was a Jiao shirt from South Korea. It was very expensive, costing more than a thousand yuan in a shopping mall and several hundred yuan in a clothing store outside. In the Northeast, this kind of clothing is also called a "yizhihua".
Nan Yi thought it was bullshit when he heard it. Although Jiaoshan is a second-rate French township brand that has not made a name for itself in over a hundred years, it was brought to the mainland by the people of Hong Kong to be sold, and it was promoted as a standard configuration of the French upper class. It just happened to create a passionate collision with the newly rich but unsophisticated businessmen. This dress is expensive, more than a thousand yuan, and it makes one look very proud when worn, and it is also damn cool.
In fact, it is not the case at all. Jiaoshan has no other advantages except being expensive. Yes, expensive is its only advantage. As a summer wear, Jiaoshan is very warm and can easily cause prickly heat.
But who can blame it for being expensive? It is a foreign brand, and everyone who asks about it says it is good. It is like the emperor's new clothes, everyone is deceived, and no one knows that they are being deceived, but no one will expose it. Jiaoshan has gone from being a low-level practicality to a high-level artifact for pretending to be cool.
Nan Yi analyzed from the salesperson in front of him fiddling with her collar from time to time that her neckline was deliberately open and shifted to the left, revealing a "flower", one to show off, and the other to dissipate heat.
The salesperson was wearing a pair of "Women's King" shoes, a kind of leather-covered travel shoes that are very popular in Fengtian. It was not the first time that Nan Yi had seen them in the past two days. They were pink in color. He had just seen them in the clothing city. They were sold for 380 yuan a pair.
Although the salary level in Fengtian is relatively high, a salesperson can't make more than three hundred dollars. He has to go without food and drink for nearly half a year to afford the clothes he wears. A reasonable guess is that he has to wear a mink coat worth several thousand dollars in the summer and several thousand dollars in the winter. Otherwise, he can't show off in the summer and lose face in the winter.
From this perspective, the salesperson in front of him has a strong purchasing power and a deep understanding of the word "consumption". Moreover, as a salesperson, she comes into contact with many people every day and knows more information. Nan Yi wants to find out some information about Fengtian from her.
Of course, it is undeniable that the reason why Nan Yi chose the saleswoman in front of him as the object of his inquiries is inseparable from her beautiful face and graceful figure. Nan Yi never denied that he was a pervert, but compared to Yan Ruyu, he loved the golden house more.
"You're quite good at talking, and you can make noises like that. Do you want to pursue me?" The salesperson smiled and said directly and unrestrainedly.
"Oh my god, you have such sharp eyes that you can see through my little trick. Sister, tell me what time you get off work and I'll come pick you up. I'm not short of money and I'll take you out for something delicious." Nan Yi said while patting his trouser pocket.
"Hahaha, you are so kind." The salesperson narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said cheerfully, "Okay, there is a new Haibahuang Restaurant in the Gexian Hotel opposite the Nanhu Theater. It's six o'clock. Wait at the door."
"Hai Ba Huang is also a restaurant. I know it's not cheap. The knife is quite sharp." Nan Yi muttered to himself and said, "Okay, see you at six o'clock, Hai Ba Huang. By the way, I don't know your name yet."
"Xu Lu, let's go quickly, there are guests coming." Xu Lu waved her hand, urging Nan Yi to leave.
"My name is Nan Yi, bye." Nan Yi waved his hand, walked past the other sales clerks' contempt, and left the commercial city.
After returning to the car, Nan Yi asked Dagang about Haibahuang and learned that it was a restaurant specializing in Cantonese cuisine, with fresh seafood and singing and dancing performances, and the prices were very high.
Hearing that it was not cheap, Nan Yi gained some confidence in Xu Lu's going to the appointment, and the possibility of being stood up was reduced a lot. It was a public place, and Nan Yi was a foreigner. From Xu Lu's point of view, the risk of going to the appointment was not high. It was a good opportunity to rip off this local tycoon and then leave after eating without letting him smell the fishy smell.
After visiting the commercial city, Nan Yi's work trip also came to an end. Before going to the next destination he had planned, he asked Dagang to drive the car to the TV tower.
I could see Asia's tallest tower whenever I went back and forth these two days, and I could go up and overlook the entire Fengtian.
After the bus arrived under the TV tower, Nan Yi went to the ticket window to buy a ticket. It was 50 yuan a ticket, not cheaper than the Empire State Building. It was too expensive. I guess most locals wouldn't be willing to pay that much.
After buying the ticket and entering the elevator, Nan Yi saw the advertisement on the elevator door at a glance. There was a revolving restaurant upstairs. The minimum consumption was 80 yuan, and there was no tower fee.
"Fuck, which idiot put up this ad? I don't know why they put it at the ticket window."
Following Nan Yi's complaint, the elevator shook and climbed upwards. A few minutes later, the elevator door opened and Nan Yi and his three companions stood on the observation deck. They took a quick glance and saw only a couple standing by the railing, looking very affectionate with each other. There was no one else.
After walking around a bit, Nan Yi and the other three came to the other side of the observation deck. Walking to the railing, Nan Yi looked down at the city's buildings and streets, feeling mixed emotions.
During these two days, he witnessed the prosperity of Fengtian and the consumption power of Fengtian people. Not to mention the expensive clothes and the dazzling array of goods in the shopping malls, as well as the high-end consumption places everywhere, just take the people buying vegetables he met in Quanerlou. Their baskets were filled with meat and vegetables, and they spent more than ten or twenty yuan without blinking an eye. This shows how wealthy the people of Fengtian are.
Unfortunately, all this cannot last forever. When a singer is on the stage, shaking his big head and singing a song with a passionate voice that is very inspiring to those who are not involved but very annoying to those in purgatory, the current prosperity will vanish.
When the people of Fengtian, especially the workers in Gangxi District, joked with each other about being "given a holiday", Nan Yi hoped that he could do something and also wanted to take away some benefits, so he made the "double five" promise to Wu Renpin - 500 million investment and 50,000 jobs.
The children of workers' families in Gangxi District are happy. They can enjoy free medical care and education from birth. They can go to vocational and technical schools run by factories after graduating from junior high school. After graduation, they take over their parents' work in the factory. When their parents retire, they can still receive pensions and enjoy free medical care.
Everything seems so beautiful, but unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. All the happy days today will become distant memories tomorrow.
Once, in the previous life, there was a bad girl who talked about her miserable days in front of Nan Yi, who could not empathize with her. She ate cabbage for one meal and potatoes for the next, which made her heart burn. Sometimes she ate eggplant for a month in a row, because eggplant was cheap when it was in season, 4 pounds for one yuan. She would go to the morning market to buy sacks of eggplant and bring them home, eating them with water and rice, and it was a delicious meal.
The girl said that she had never eaten Cheetos and that the first bad thing she did was to steal Cheetos from her classmate. Later, she became completely bad. For the sake of beautiful clothes and delicious meals, she put a price tag on love and broke it into pieces to sell.
I bought it when Nan Yi was craving for it.
After they became familiar with each other, the girl would nestle in Nan Yi's arms and tell him vividly about her history of suffering. His initial knowledge and understanding of Fengtian came from that girl.
The girl did not tell Nan Yi her name, but she told him the street where she lived. The street was called Rouge Street. During the Qing Dynasty, the people who lived there were all villagers who grew rouge for the Prince Zheng's palace, hence the name.
The girl once whispered, "Kill the Rouge Street guy."
Does Nan Yi have love for that girl?
No.
A transaction is a transaction, there is no need to use the word love to cover up the filthiness of the transaction.
Although there is no love and no commitment, Nan Yi is still willing to serve the girl and come to kill the man from Yanzhi Street. On the premise of ensuring his own interests, he will kill as many people from Yanzhi Street as he can.
First, let the people of Yanzhi Street become addicted to the chicken carts, and put stacks of money into their pockets. Then send a group of them to foreign countries as Ikeda trainees to work themselves to death, creating profits for themselves while letting the people of Yanzhi Street see how capitalists who are not of our kind torture people.
Among them, a number of sweatshops have attracted 500 million yuan in investment. The smell of lead powder and brass fills their lungs, forcing the people of Yanzhi Street to go to the hospital for a blood transfusion once a year. When the north wind blows, the smell wafting out of the big chimneys makes them smell the fragrant aroma.
A monthly salary of eight hundred, one thousand yuan anesthetizes the nerves of the people on Yanzhi Street and gives them the illusion that there is hope in life. They drink, get drunk, eat chicken carts, and rave about food. They eat and drink until their uric acid level is high, which leads to gout and tophi, which cause them to suffer from tophi all night long.
In a few years, the bodies of the people on Yanzhi Street will be as twisted as dough sticks and they will no longer be able to withstand the cold weather. At that time, someone can be sent out with a hypocritical smile to trick them into going to the sanatorium, buying a house and living there to recuperate.
In this way, the largest customer group of Dream Town is tapped out, and when the people from Rouge Street pass by, they can close the door and slowly slaughter them, cutting left and right, building a bridge today and opening a skull tomorrow, until the last drop of blood is squeezed out.
When he felt a little lonely at the observation deck, Nan Yi got off the deck and asked Dagang to drive the car back to the Rose Hotel. At the hotel entrance, he walked to the diagonal opposite side of the hotel, asked a passerby, walked into a house, and entered a company called Milan International Travel.
Nan Yi still hopes to find the 500 million investment locally. He came to Milan International to find the first round of funds. Last night, Nan Yi saw the advertisement of Milan International at Fengtiantai and found that he could cooperate with this company on the "study abroad" project.
Walking into Milan International, Nan Yi took a look at the internal layout, and then went straight to the front desk: "Hello, I would like to ask, can you quickly handle the procedures for going to the CIS?"
