Chapter 4 Magnetism
Out of the gate of the vegetable market, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan did not go home, they found a leeward place to smoke again.
What's wrong?
Because Hong Yanwu looked at the dozens of catties of things in his hand, he always felt that it was still a little bit meaningful. To say that he really didn't come in vain, but he still didn't buy hard goods!
So after a cigarette, Hong Yanwu felt that the commotion caused just now should have ended, so he asked Chen Liquan to take these things and go to the Xinhua bookstore across the street to rest for a while. He himself wanted to try to find another opportunity, so he took a few apples and oranges from his net pocket, put them in his pocket, and squeezed them into the vegetable market.
Because he is already a person from the past, Hong Yanwu is very aware of the characteristics of this era. That is, there are almost no people who take bribes, and most of them abuse power for personal gain. To put it bluntly, "going through the back door" has become the trend.
Why do you say that? In fact, this is also a characteristic of the era of a purely planned economy.
First of all, it must be said that in this era, there are almost no individual rich people, and the relationship between units is even more public-to-public, so since there is no soil for breeding cash bribe-takers, there are naturally no cash bribe-takers.
And on the other hand, the matter of sending and receiving money is not only bad in nature, but also extremely sensitive. At the same time, because the purchasing power of cash is limited by the system, the temptation is not great. Officials, of course, can defend their integrity in the face of money.
But then again, man is a very selfish animal after all. Moreover, our country has always been a humane society, and relatives and friends have been in a very important part of everyone's life in that closed social environment. Moreover, under the current system, there is a lack of necessary supervision of power, and it is impossible for those who hold power to do not seek personal gain.
Therefore, in order to live a better life for oneself and to provide some convenience to relatives and friends, the behavior of "you help me, I help you" has become more and more common. Compared with monetary bribery, this disguised bribery is not only more hidden, but also easier to find excuses and excuses.
Therefore, the social status quo in this period is that everything must be done through the relationship and go through the back door. Power is far more useful than money. No matter how high or low the position is, as long as you have a little power in your hands, you can eat well in the whole society.
At that time, the saying "stethoscope, steering wheel, personnel cadres, big weighing pan" is very illustrative. Invisibly, the importance of the two jobs of drivers and salespeople has been compared with that of doctors and civil servants. It can be seen that this unhealthy trend of "making things convenient for others and giving convenience to oneself" has spread from top to bottom and has spread to all levels of society.
Needless to say, this just means that there are loopholes to exploit. Hong Yanwu knows very well in his heart that if you want to buy hot-selling goods without relying on tickets, I am afraid the most effective way is to find a "back door" to go.
But when people go through the back door, they are either relatives or friends, and they don't know the people in the vegetable market, what should they do?
There is also a smooth saying, "If you are rich and powerful, go to the front door, if you are rich and powerful, go to the back door, if you have no money and no power, you can find a trick, you know an uncle******** it doesn't matter if you don't know anyone, you will catch it temporarily." As long as you can take care of it, the new relationship and the old relationship are not the same.
For this situation, there is a special word in the capital to describe it, called "set of magnetism". It means that when a person is not familiar with the other party, he can quickly win over the relationship with the other party and become friends, so as to achieve a speculative effect of quickly solving the problem at hand.
Hong Yanwu has money in his pocket, can speak well, and has a cheeky skin like a "golden bell jar", in this era when most of the people will blush and heartbeat when they ask for help, of course, he is the top master of "magnetism". His immediate task at the moment is to quickly identify a correct object that can be "magnetized."
He has his own clear criteria for this. There are two necessary ones, one is that you must find a master who loves to chat, and the other is that this person must also have the ability to get things done. Otherwise, not to mention the high failure rate, it is in vain to talk well.
Not to mention, Hong Yanwu's eyes are really poisonous, he only wandered around the crowd for a long time, and soon targeted a thirty-year-old salesperson who was holding the cigarette and alcohol canned food counter alone.
As mentioned earlier, the canned tobacco and alcohol counter is next to the soy product counter, and it is also the least frequented place on a daily basis. So the eldest sister of the salesperson has nothing to do at the counter, she sits down and flips through the newspaper for a while, lies on the counter and looks at the excitement, and likes to chat with the customers standing nearby and other salespeople passing by.
It's like a "big deal" in the vegetable market, not only does he not care about his casual behavior, but also quite obviously, and he is also a good temperament.
The most important thing is that Hong Yanwu clearly saw that when a young man called "Sister Guo", and then lay on the counter and chatted with the salesperson's eldest sister for a while, this "Sister Guo" actually walked into the soy products counter and took out a large newspaper bag and stuffed it to this person. Finally, the man handed over a little money and left with a smile on his face.
Seeing this, do you still have any questions? This eldest sister of the salesman surnamed Guo is obviously the best target that best meets Hong Yanwu's needs.
It just so happened that Hong Yanwu also wanted to buy canned food and fruit wine, so he walked over quite naturally, deliberately asking for this and that.
He had a lot of things to buy, five canned lychees, five canned hawthorns, five canned beef, five canned anchovies, ten canned luncheon meat, three bottles of green plum wine, and three bottles of osmanthus Chen......
Sure enough, before he finished speaking, the salesman's eldest sister was anxious.
"Young man, these things don't need tickets, but a can costs more than a piece, you want so much, do you have enough money?"
At this time, Hong Yanwu hurriedly pretended to start acting. He didn't answer, and as he took out the money, he stared at the salesman's face, and then snorted as if he suddenly recognized it.
"Alas, eldest sister, are you surnamed Guo? I see that you are familiar with ......."
"Sister Guo" was immediately vague, "My surname is Guo, but you are ......"
"Hey, you're a noble person, and there are too many people asking for your help. My surname is Hong, you forgot, last year's National Day......? The ...... who brought me"
In fact, where is there anything surnamed Li, Hong Yanwu is playing the hooligan habit of "playing the main circle", and there is a talk called "three major collisions". That is, bluffing, taking the lie as true, and taking it seriously, as long as it is a little bit of a side, the other party is often taken seriously when he is vague. Although it is usually used to "induce confessions" and "coerce confessions", no one stipulates that this hand cannot be used to "set magnets".
Sure enough, the surname with the most populous population in the country has exerted its power in probability, and "Sister Guo" has made up for it herself.
"Oh, I remember, Principal Li of Caishikou Elementary School, right? Are you her nephew? My trouble-loving mischievous son is thanks to your aunt for taking care of me......"
As soon as he saw that he really "bumped", Hong Yanwu also hurriedly climbed along the pole, and reached out from his pocket to take out a few "props" prepared in advance.
"Sister Guo, it's almost the holidays, there's really nothing to do. You can bring these fruits to the child's home, count me as a little heart......"
"Yo, that's a good thing! Look, that's ......."
"Sister Guo" had two eyes shining, and she swept her hand without being polite, and the counter was empty. Then she pondered, but she was a little embarrassed, and quickly lowered her head to Hong Yanwu's ear.
"By the way, what are the shortcomings of your family? I have a way to buy pork and live chickens, but eggs and fish are not ......."
This kind of open and honest "reciprocating the peach" is of course in line with Hong Yanwu's intentions, this is what he wants, and he almost didn't make a sound, so he quickly lowered his head and whispered in response.
"Sister Guo, I won't hide it from you, I want both pork and live poultry. I don't lack money, but I don't have tickets, so thank you if you can help. But there is one thing, I can't let you do it for me in vain like I did last time. In this way, if you don't charge me cigarette tickets, why don't I pay for two Grade A cigarettes, and you can take it home for my eldest brother, or I really won't be ......."
And seeing Hong Yanwu so "generous" and "sensible", "Sister Guo's face" was simply radiant.
"Big brother, you're so kind. Don't worry, it's all on the eldest sister, and you don't have any tickets. Here, my face is better than that of the manager......"
Gotcha, with this sentence, it's all right!
