Volume 6: The Great Change Chapter 0890 Another Great Trend
Nan Yi did not take Lilia to a proper restaurant, but to a bar he had just seen, a bar that was not run in a proper manner and sold not only alcohol but also food.
It is a very small bar, even if the bar counter is included, it is only about 30 square meters. However, despite the small place, the decoration is very special. The walls are covered with cross-sections of wood without any bark trimmed, and the tree knots are clearly visible, retaining the original flavor.
There are many logs hanging on the roof, connected in an orderly manner with iron chains, which is quite unique. On both sides of the bar, there are densely packed four-person solid wood tables, where a few people are sitting, drinking or eating, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere is very lively.
Nan Yi picked a table and walked over with Lilia, sat down, ordered some food and two large draft beers, white beer with an alcohol content of 40%, while they talked and laughed as they drank. Perhaps both of them had a very clear purpose of getting the other drunk, so they drank one beer after another and talked one conversation after another, so much so that when they left the bar, their bodies were already shaking and they were both a little tipsy.
At the door of the bar, Lilia naturally leaned against Nan Yi. Nan Yi stopped and was about to speak when Lilia urged him, "Let's go, let's go!"
"Let's go, where to go?" Nan Yi put away the amusement that was about to burst out.
Lilia shook Nan Yi's arm, buried her head in Nan Yi's chest, and said shyly, "Of course you'll go to my place."
Lilia's meaning was obvious. Anyone who was not mentally retarded could hear the hidden meaning behind this sentence.
After hearing this, Nan Yi sneered and thought to himself, "This woman is really drunk."
Turning around, Nan Yi hugged Lilia with one hand, put his mouth close to her ear and said, "It's boring to stay in the room, let's go to the birch forest, there are white doves flying in the sky, and two people rolling on the ground..."
Having said that, Nan Yi raised the hand that was placed on Lilia's waist, stuck to the left side of her head and pushed it to the right. He instantly made his left hand into a knife and hit the carotid sinus in the neck hard. Lilia's neck softened and she fell weakly on Nan Yi's shoulder.
Holding Lilia's waist, Nan Yi led his men forward about twenty meters, supporting and dragging her. A car stopped beside him, the door was pushed open, a pair of hands stretched out from inside, and Lilia was taken over.
"Clean up the left side of her head, neck, and waist, and interrogate her. If she is just out to fish and bait, let her go."
Honey traps are common everywhere, but the methods vary from place to place.
"clear."
The Madonna in the car responded.
After handing the person over, Nan Yi returned to the hotel. He had missed the departure time and could not leave today. Fortunately, the room would not expire until tomorrow.
The hotel is nine stories high and there is no elevator.
There is an elevator, but it is never open. I'm not sure why.
As soon as he reached the eighth floor, Nan Yi heard a commotion coming from the corridor on the ninth floor, followed by the angry curses of a Russian man and the wailing of a Chinese woman.
Going up to the ninth floor and appearing in the corridor, Nan Yi saw a tall woman hitting a petite woman on the head with her fist, cursing while hitting her. The petite woman cried and begged.
The two men were surrounded by a group of seductively dressed Russian women. Instead of trying to stop the fight, they encouraged the tall woman to use more force. It was obvious who they were in cahoots with.
Nan Yi stopped and listened for a while. He heard a clue from the tall woman's cursing. The Russian man next to him was a groom. He had contacted a good business for the tall woman, but who knew that the business was stolen by the petite woman. As a result, the petite woman was blocked as soon as she came out of the room after finishing her business.
"A celestial being."
"yes."
Tianxian stepped forward and came to the side of the tall woman, grabbed her fist which was about to swing down again, stuffed two hundred yuan between her fingers, and pointed at the petite woman on the ground in the other's surprised eyes.
With so many people and the willingness to pay, both the tall woman and the groom beside her knew what to do. The tall woman collected the money and walked towards the stairs with the others.
When the footsteps reached the eighth floor, Nan Yi walked up to the petite woman and asked condescendingly, "Did you come to Ussuriysk voluntarily?"
The woman wiped the blood from her nose and replied bleakly, "Yes."
After hearing the woman's answer, Nan Yi stopped asking questions and walked towards his room.
Looking at Nan Yi who passed by her, the woman cried miserably: "I came here voluntarily, I didn't sell myself voluntarily."
"Pack it up and bring it over later."
Nan Yi did not stop, opened the door and entered his room.
After more than ten minutes, the woman was taken to Nan Yi's room after washing. Without Nan Yi asking any questions, the woman poured out her grievances.
The woman's name is Wang Mengmeng, she is 20 years old this year, and she used to be a prostitute in her hometown, but at that time she only sold her smiles and not her body. Wang Mengmeng said so, and Nan Yi just listened without questioning it.
At the end of May this year, a fellow villager of Wang Mengmeng who was doing business in Russia came back and patronized the entertainment venue where Wang Mengmeng worked. He acted like a rich man and boasted to Wang Mengmeng and her colleagues about how easy it was to make money in Russia. He also said that he could collect hundreds of dollars in tips a day in the Russian venues and earn over ten thousand dollars a month easily.
Wang Mengmeng and her sisters were moved by what they heard, and they discussed with each other that it didn't matter where they worked, they could try it while they were still young and earn more money. Besides, this meant going abroad, and who wouldn't want to see the outside world?
Just like that, Wang Mengmeng and a group of people followed their enthusiastic fellow villagers to Ussuriysk.
When they arrived here, the warm-hearted fellow villager first took them around and tried some "Russian food" on the roadside. Wang Mengmeng and her friends had just begun to have some longing for working and living in Russia when the warm-hearted fellow villager took them to a Chinatown restaurant. Then, the disguise on his face was torn off, and he showed Wang Mengmeng and her friends how easy it is to make money in Russia.
Wang Mengmeng and her other 12 companions were sold to the boss of Huaguocheng by a kind-hearted fellow villager for US$2,000 each. In a blink of an eye, they made a profit of US$24,000. He really didn't fool people. It is indeed easy to make money in Russia.
Having bought them at a high price of 2,000 US dollars, you can imagine how the boss of Huaguocheng would treat them. The first step is to destroy their psychological defenses. Specifically, they would confiscate their passports and check the goods, then beat and scold them, give them a good beating, and then not give them food until they starve to submission.
It is easy for people to develop the belief that "a good death is worse than a miserable life". In the past, they were beaten, scolded and starved, but now as long as they work, they have a certain degree of freedom and enough food to eat, and there is a bright goal not too far away waiting for them to achieve - as long as they earn enough money, they can redeem their passports.
Of course, this is just an illusory pie. The boss of Huaguocheng wants them to work hard and make money for him. For the "excellent employees" who work even harder, there is a second pie: as soon as their visas expire, their money will be paid off.
A tourist visa lasts for a maximum of three months, and you can get through it by gritting your teeth. This "excellent employee" was deceived a second time and entered an even more miserable life.
It is biased to say that it is a scam. What the boss of Huaguocheng said is really true. He will let them go as soon as their visas expire. However, everyone has some connections. There is a word called "extension". After three months, they can renew their visas for another three months. This way, they don't break their promises and can continue to make profits from "excellent employees". It's the best of both worlds.
Wang Mengmeng's original visa was only valid for one month, but she has been in Ussuriysk for almost three months. She became an excellent employee first actively and then passively, and had to work hard every day to actively look for customers, including stealing orders. It can be said that she had no choice.
The boss of Hua Guocheng might have worked in a business-oriented enterprise before, and maybe even served as a small leader. He transplanted a very effective tactic in the business field here, that is, the last-placed employee will be punished severely after returning home. Once punished, it will affect the orders he can receive the next day. If things go wrong, he will be the last for several days in a row, creating a vicious cycle.
Therefore, Wang Mengmeng and other outstanding employees are very inward-looking. Not only do they try to steal orders from "sister units", they also try to steal orders from each other. If Wang Mengmeng steals orders from others, others will also steal her. This is not the first time she has been caught stealing orders and beaten, but this time she was beaten more severely than usual.
After listening to Wang Mengmeng's story, Nan Yi thought for a moment and said to her: "Since I happened to come across your case, I should help you as we are compatriots. You have two choices. One is that I will help you find a channel for smuggling and you can smuggle back to China by yourself;
Second, I will go back to Moscow in a while, and I can take you with me. When you get to Moscow, you can work on your own, or I can help you find a place to register. You can negotiate the fees with the other party.
Work hard here for a while, save some money, go back and open a clothing store, then find an honest man who will treat you well, forget everything here, and live a good life. "
Without waiting for Wang Mengmeng to answer, the school beauty handed the phone to Nan Yi.
Virgin Mary: "Sir, I have already found out that Lilia is related to the Vietnamese I mentioned yesterday. She is responsible for luring wealthy Chinese people, and the Vietnamese are blackmailing them."
Nan Yi: "How do you knock?"
Our Lady: "Torture him severely and force him to give up the money himself."
Nan Yi: "No ransom?"
Our Lady: "No, usually not, unless there is no money to be made."
"Okay, I understand. You can handle the rest yourself."
Since it is related to the Vietnamese yesterday, the right to deal with it naturally has to be given to the Virgin Mary. Nan Yi’s previous statement of releasing the people directly is no longer valid.
After the call, Wang Mengmeng was still hesitating.
Nan Yi was too lazy to wait, so he asked the school beauty to vacate a room, and sent her to the room, letting her think about it slowly.
For some unknown reason, the boss of Huaguocheng who should have shown up that night did not show up. The street outside was very quiet, except for the sounds of doors opening and closing and men and women talking in the corridor.
The next day, Nan Yi calculated the time and went to the train station, boarding the train to Novosibirsk, and Wang Mengmeng followed.
Clank, clank, it took Nan Yi five days on the road to reach Novosibirsk. Fortunately, there were luxury carriages on the train, which were very spacious, similar to the standard rooms in ordinary business hotels, so the journey was not difficult.
The third branch of Yunxiao Tobacco Group is located in the southern part of the West Siberian Plain. It is located in an industrial area dominated by coal, oil and natural gas, and seems a bit abrupt.
The third branch mainly produces "Entropy" brand cigarettes. The production task is not heavy, but its status is very important. "Entropy" is not mainly for selling for profit, but for making friends. No matter whether it is tobacco, flavors, cigarette paper, or filters, they are all made with excellence. The average cost of a pack of cigarettes is about RMB 25.
If entropy is considered a luxury, the cost is not high at all. But if it is considered as cigarettes, the cost is sky-high.
Let me put it this way, nowadays the salary of an ordinary worker is about three hundred at most, in other words, the monthly salary is less than 100,000. By analogy, the cost of cigarettes sold on the market is generally less than 10 yuan, and even the most advanced ones are about this level.
Nan Yi just came to take a look at the factory. He had to know what his industry looked like. He didn't interfere with the production and management matters at all. His knowledge of cigarettes was only limited to smoking them. He knew nothing else.
After staying in Novosibirsk for two days and taking a short rest, Nan Yi boarded the train to St. Petersburg.
…
San Francisco.
Chen Yuxiu walked out of the Milu Company with great confidence. He had just signed an exclusive agency contract with the Milu Company to represent the Milu Company's M-TIK chip, which is a video decoding chip that adopts the MPEG-1 standard. To put it bluntly, it is the core of VCD.
VCD is equal to CD storing and playing sound plus MPEG presenting video. The M-TIK chip is used to decode the combination of the two into images that can be heard and seen on TV.
A few years ago, when the Little Superman computer had not yet been released, Erdong Electronics had already started planning for VCD. Over the years, it has developed, acquired, and licensed technologies and patents related to encoding and decoding and laser heads. With the last link M-TIK today, Erdong Electronics now holds all the patents for VCD.
Chips are different from each other. A Chinese card is a chip, and a CPU is also a chip. Designing and producing a CPU is extremely difficult, but no one can say how difficult it is to develop a decoding chip. The specific quantification of the difficulty is at most two Chinese cards.
The most critical point is the idea. After the establishment of the MPEG Motion Picture Experts Group, Milu was the first company to engage in the research and development of decoding chips based on the MPEG standard. For a long time, it was also the only company doing so.
Now there is another company called C-CUBE, but its action is too late. M-TIK's patent certificate has been issued for some time, but it has been kept secret from the outside world, and no one has checked the patent in this regard.
In the field of VCD, Erdong Electronics has already established an invincible position. Although no VCD has been released yet and no revenue has been earned, Erdong Electronics has already made preparations for the layout of "digital multi-purpose disc". Perhaps in the future this kind of disc will be called DVD.
In the 1980s, there was a standards war in the videotape industry. VHS and BETAMAX confronted each other, and the fight was extremely fierce. Although VHS won in the end, it was a pyrrhic victory. Not only did JVC, the leader, pay a heavy price, but companies belonging to the two camps were also implicated.
Today in the world of high-capacity optical discs, there are two standard multimedia discs (MMCD) and super discs (Super Disc) confronting each other, and a conflict could arise at any time.
Although only Philips and Sony support multimedia discs, and Toshiba, Time Warner, Panasonic, Hitachi, Mitsubishi Electric, Pioneer, Thomson and JVC support super discs, Philips has mastered the key technology of disc decoding. No matter what standard of disc, you cannot avoid Philips if you want to read it, so the two sides are evenly matched.
Therefore, IBM, the big brother of the computer industry, stood up and said that it hoped that both sides would exercise restraint, sit down and negotiate, and discuss the conditions to merge the two standards. The big brother's words were spoken, and they had a certain effect. Both sides did exercise restraint and did not really work together. However, the big brother was ignored for the proposal of merger, and felt that his words did not carry enough weight.
For computer companies, it is extremely important to have only one standard for optical discs. If the two standards are evenly matched and the customer base is divided into two, they will be in trouble. How can a human being make two sets of standards for one set of hardware?
可要是只跟随一种标准,潜在客户没做出选择,自己倒是先筛掉一半的潜在客户,这他娘的更让人不爽了,逗我们玩呢?
The current situation is that some computer manufacturers are beginning to stand behind IBM and support it. However, the two standards are still in the research and development stage, and the merger of the standards is not too urgent. Most computer manufacturers are still struggling. After all, they were once one of the Eighteen Blue Princes (IBM's brand color is blue, nicknamed the Blue Giant), and they still have to save their face. Unless it is urgent, they have to be reserved.
Nan Yi, who had used DVD discs and had some understanding of their market and vitality, did not allow Nan's company to participate in the competition for disc standards, although Nan could actually have a great say. Pan American Investment had invested in many computer-related companies. It was not difficult for Nan to push for something that was beneficial to everyone to be realized quickly. They were all favors, and Nan could easily get them.
Nan's has placed its bets on flash memory. Not only has Yinhou, which is engaged in the research and development of mobile phone accessories, personally participated in the research and development of flash memory, but it has also been throwing money around to external companies engaged in the research and development of flash memory. Aren't you developing flash memory? We will sponsor you. We don't ask for profit sharing, but only for preferential patent usage rights.
No matter it is called TF card or SD card, U disk or flash disk, MP3 or MP4, these products cannot avoid the word "flash memory". These products will appear with flash memory plus encoding and decoding technology or without it. After the flash memory technology matures, these products will be available.
[Author's note: After carefully understanding the technical principles of these products, it is not too difficult to make them. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can definitely make them. In addition, for popular science, the R&D cost of the world's first VCD was less than 600,000 yuan, and it is estimated that most of the money was spent on purchasing components and paying wages.
Strictly speaking, this thing can't really be considered research and development. It's just a combination of various mature products and technologies. It's similar to the process of buying model airplane parts and piecing them together according to the instructions, but the VCD doesn't have an assembly manual, so you have to assemble it by trial and error. ]
These products together represent a huge market with an annual sales volume of tens of billions of dollars, and it is also a very profitable market. Nanshi does not insist on taking profits from end products, and will only test the waters with finished products. If it can be done, it will do its best. If it cannot, it will just be an accessories supplier and patent licensor.
In the future, Yinhou may launch a mobile phone brand, which will mainly be used to absorb slow-selling accessory models with poor sales, as well as flagship phones assembled with top-level accessories. It will be used to tell consumers the correct knowledge of excellent accessories, such as this screen is good, that camera is good, and so on, so that consumers can force mobile phone manufacturers to purchase accessories for specific models.
Chen Yuxiu called the airline and booked the earliest flight to Xiangkeng. The trial product of VCD had already been produced, and the design plan for the production line was also under intensive production. There were only two steps left before VCD could reap the benefits.
Now that we have the machines, we must have discs. Chen Yuxiu also needs to encourage a group of people to produce discs, promote healthy competition in the industry, and lower the prices of discs as soon as possible so that consumers can benefit.
In addition, a group of people need to be recruited to add content to the discs. They don't care how they add content, they just want the price to be as low as possible so that consumers can get a second benefit, and a group of jobs can be provided to the society - owners of stores that rent and sell discs.
Under the influence of Nan Yi, the first thing Chen Yuxiu considers when doing business now is whether it can create social benefits. If not, he will not enter the business no matter how profitable it is. This is Chen Yuxiu's responsibility, and this is the overall pattern of Nanchen Village.
However, there is a fly in the ointment. Nan Yi is a sophisticated egoist who deliberately ignores the fact that giving his employees too generous treatment will affect companies in the same industry, making them feel uncomfortable, and will be detrimental to the control of the industry's overall labor costs, which in turn will affect the industry's overall competitiveness and plant the seeds of a crisis of destruction for the entire industry.
Before Chen Yuxiu boarded the plane, the glass door of the Gunman Company was smashed again. It was unknown how many times this had happened. Anyway, the Gunman Company's annual expenses for repairing the door were very considerable.
The ghostwriter company has a bunch of screenwriters who are like parasites. They write all kinds of creative ideas, whether normal or abnormal, for movies and TV scripts, variety show scripts. When a crew starts shooting a new play, the ghostwriter will jump out after just a few shots and say, "No, you can't shoot. We have the copyright of the content of this or that scene. You have infringed the copyright and we are going to sue you."
In fact, what's the point of suing? They're just trying to extort money. As long as you give compensation and copyright fees, they'll unload a truckload of scripts and you can use whatever part you want. It's up to you.
If the film and television companies are serious about this, the ghost company may not win the lawsuit. The copyright of film and television content is very easy to circumvent and infringement is difficult to define. But the beauty of this matter lies in the fact that the film and television companies dare not be tough.
The gun company does not need to slander the film and television company. It only needs to wait until the first day of the film's release and then complain in the newspaper with evidence - this part of the film is exactly the same as our script A, and that part is exactly the same as our script B.
There is no need to accuse of plagiarism, just present evidence and let the readers imagine the rest. Just say whether this operation can reduce the box office a little. If it can or not, do the film and television companies dare to take the risk?
The ghostwriter companies are quite cunning. Big media groups never touch them and specifically target small film and television companies and independent producers. For companies of this level, as long as one film fails, they will be seriously damaged, or even go bankrupt or disappear. They simply cannot afford to take the risk. The best solution is to buy the script directly from the ghostwriter company or beg for forgiveness.
Gun companies have now become the largest content providers in Hollywood. Screenwriters who are neither up nor down and have no qualifications to negotiate terms with film and television companies all like to cooperate with gun companies, or join them, or entrust their scripts to gun companies as agents.
The ghostwriter company has a very good reputation and never sets traps for the screenwriters. Once they agree on how to divide the profits, they will strictly implement it and will never cheat the screenwriters out of a penny.
Don't even mention other film and television companies. Hollywood is notorious for cooking the books. A movie with a box office of over one billion dollars can easily show a loss-making account. If they want to get a share of the profits, just go home and take a shower. This has happened in their dreams.
In short, the Gunman Company has played with the copyright of scripts, and now it is planning to extend its hand to the copyright of movies and TV series. To be more precise, the Gunman Company is preparing to enter the network copyright of movies and TV series. While the power of the Internet has not yet exploded, everyone is still vague about the present of the Internet and knows nothing about the future, it will first buy a large number of network copyrights of movies and TV series at a low price.
Of course, in order to avoid being sued throughout the year in the future, a profit-sharing clause must be included in the contract. The so-called low price actually means paying less cash, but instead using future money for profit sharing. When money is made, it benefits everyone, and no one needs to be jealous and say that the gunman is a liar.
As Chen Yuxiu boarded the plane, Shenzhen was about to issue lottery tickets for new share subscriptions in half an hour. At a certain sales point, a man from Jiangxi Province stood in front of a long queue and burst into tears.
Just now, he was squeezed out of the queue, and it is impossible for him to squeeze in again. He is not the only one who was squeezed out. There are many unlucky people like him who have been queuing for two days and two nights, but failed at the last minute. Anyone would cry.
Therefore, the way the queue is arranged now has changed. In the scorching heat, men, women, old and young, hug each other's shoulders, without any shyness or embarrassment, without any courtesy or politeness. They put their chests close to each other to prevent others from cutting in line. There is not even enough space for a fly to stand between people.
On August 7, Shenzhen Stock Exchange released the announcement on the 1992 new stock subscription lottery issuance, announcing that 500 million domestic public shares would be issued that year, 5 million lottery tickets would be issued, the winning rate would be 10%, and each lottery ticket could subscribe for 1,000 shares.
The more subscriptions you make, the greater the chance of winning, which means a greater chance of profit. In the simplest sense, as long as you buy ten watches, you will surely win one, and you will make money if you buy it.
As early as a month ago, people who heard the news had already come to Shencun in waves. As soon as the announcement was released, the last wave of people who were late to the party came in droves. It was impossible to buy a hard seat ticket from Yangcheng to Shencun, not even a single seat without a seat. The usual price was 30 yuan per ticket, but now there were still a few soft seat tickets that were being sold by scalpers for more than 200 yuan.
There are a total of 303 sales outlets in Shenzhen. As soon as the news of sending out the new share subscription lottery sheets appeared in the newspapers, people immediately lined up at some of the sales outlets. By August 8, all the sales outlets had long queues.
Most of the people queuing up were hired, and the real bosses behind the scenes were watching in the shade on the side.
Zhao Tianyang, who was standing in the shade, was very satisfied with his partner Tang Delong. The other party was very capable. He had organized 1,500 people from Dihua to line up and brought thousands of ID cards (one ID card was used to buy one lottery ticket). Now there were people queuing at several sales points, and they were all in the front positions. They would definitely be able to buy a lot of lottery tickets.
It can only be said that Zhao Tianyang's idea was too naive. At 8 o'clock in the morning on August 9, all outlets started selling lottery tickets at the same time. But the strange thing was that some sales points announced that the lottery tickets were sold out after only being open for two or three hours; in some long queues of thousands of people, only thirty or so people bought lottery tickets; and as soon as some sales points announced that they were sold out, "scalpers" appeared with hundreds of lottery tickets in their hands, selling them everywhere at a high price of 500-800 yuan each.
At four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, there was a thunderstorm in the sky, but no one in the queue left. They all held the firm belief that they could not be driven away by thunder and lightning, and they still lined up. At nine o'clock in the evening, the distribution of new shares ended, all subscription application forms had been returned to their owners, and the sales point had closed.
However, the practice of secretly purchasing subscription forms for personal gain and fraud was discovered by many people, and speculation on subscription forms before selling outlets was rampant. The bank then issued an announcement to extend the collection period of the purchase forms to August 11.
Many people felt that there was fraud here because a large number of subscription forms slipped away through the back door and the buyers did not have time to find so many ID cards or did not have time to sell them. This shows that there are huge loopholes in the sale of subscription forms.
Xian Yaodong was very busy. At this moment, he was taking people to collect ID cards everywhere.
With such a good thing that could make a lot of money happening right under his nose, of course he had to take Wenchangwei with him to participate. Of course, Zhang Yu's encouragement was also part of the equation.
Xian Yaodong is old, almost sixty years old. Zhang Yu is thirty-four this year, which is the end of a woman's golden age. She is as vigorous as a wolf and full of energy. It is conceivable what Xian Yaodong has become like after being tortured. His back has become hunched, his brain has become dull, and he can no longer get his word out and have everyone follow his lead in the village.
Since the village started contracting out the land, the contracting fees could be paid to the village committee on time at the beginning. However, as time went on, it became increasingly difficult to collect the contracting fees. Everyone was reluctant to give up their money, and it was not easy to take money out of their own pockets.
Besides, apart from the Wenchang Garment Factory, several other enterprises in Wenchangwei are on the decline. Life is like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, getting worse every year. They are not making any money, and have no enthusiasm to pay the contract fee.
The contract fee could not be paid, and the welfare system that Nanyi had established collapsed completely. The elderly had no one to rely on, and the young had no one to raise. They all had to go home to eat themselves. The dire situation forced Wenchangwei Primary School to provide three meals a day for the students.
Although the village committee is no longer reliable, the villagers' enthusiasm for business has not faded. Most of the villagers are doing business abroad or outside the province. The only reason they stay in the village is because their business is in Shenzhen and they don't need to go out. Only a few people simply stay in the village.
The welfare and dividends are gone, but the people of Wenchangwei have not become impoverished. They just lost the money that they could get without doing anything, and they lost the sense of security that made them feel at ease.
Be brave and go out there. Even if you fail, it’s okay. The village will support you and you will have a share of the dividends, so you don’t have to worry about going hungry.
Now, everything is gone and we have to rely on ourselves. The village committee is no longer holy. If there was no ancestral hall there, we would all be descendants of the Xian family and would have loved each other and lived our lives behind closed doors.
Under the influence of Zhang Yu , Xian Yaodong became less concerned about village affairs and only cared about his own family. The former Jiang Xiaodong, now Xian Xiaodong, was spoiled into a young master. At the age of sixteen, he had almost changed girlfriends. He had a lot of money in his pocket every day and was causing trouble outside.
This time it happened to be a big stock event, so Xian Yaodong and Zhang Yu also got in on the action. And it was no small feat. Early in the morning, Xian Yaodong prepared 2,000 identity cards, which he exchanged for 2,000 lottery tickets.
Not only that, Xian Yaodong also used a back door to get a box (5,000) of lottery tickets from the sales point in advance, but he had not registered yet, so he needed to collect ID cards in a hurry.
