Zhu Zhichun and the three walked out of the intermediary, and Pan Zhongfu chased people out and invited Zhu Zhichun and his party to have a meal.

met by chance in a foreign country, and tried to invite each other, plus there was a second uncle, but it was disrespectful. Zhu Zhichun asked Meng Yinyun and Bian Xuedao's opinions, and both of them said casually, he said to Pan Zhongfu: "Then let's eat casually nearby." ”

Pan Zhongfu asked Zhu Zhichun: "Do you want to eat Chinese food or Western food?"

Zhu Zhichun said: "I am casual. ”

Pan Zhongfu turned around and found the translator and accompanied Pei Tong and said, "Is there a better Chinese restaurant near here? Don't go too far." ”

Pei Tong pointed to the left and said, "There is a good Chinese restaurant two streets away, and there shouldn't be many people at this time." ”

Less than ten minutes walk, arrived.

The store is not big, the house is very narrow, fortunately it is two floors, otherwise such a group of people sit on the first floor, and it is inconvenient for others to enter and exit.

As soon as he entered the door, Pan Zhongfu's face was a little broken, and he said that this store was too cold.

Pei Tongren was very clever, saw Pan Zhongfu's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "You just asked the nearby Chinese restaurant, this is indeed the closest, if you go far, you will arrive at the restaurant in a while, there are so many of us, I don't know when to line up, I have been to this store, and it tastes really good." ”

Pan Zhongfu wanted to say something, Meng Yinyun echoed Pei Tong and said: "It's here, I've been here too, the boiled beef is delicious." ”

Meng Yinyun is beautiful and temperamental, Pan Zhongfu has never seen her before, but seeing her walking with Zhu Zhichun, she talks very casually, probably at the same level as the Zhu family, so she nodded and said: "Okay, eat here, next time, wait next time I will invite a few people to eat interesting." ”

Zhu Zhichun didn't know what to think, patted Pan Zhongfu's shoulder and said, "It's quite interesting here, it's good to eat, it's clean and delicious, just find a place to sit." ”

The dish was ordered by two ladies, Pei Tong and Meng Yinyun.

After the two ordered, Pan Zhongfu asked for the menu, picked the most expensive one, and added a few more. When waiting for the food, everyone chatted, and Pan Zhongfu praised the European environment for being good, the people were high, and there were rules for driving...... Then seeing that everyone didn't pick up the stubble very much, and he was afraid of being cold, he began to say how high-end and high-end the class he took at Dajiang Business School.

In fact, Pan Zhong is a little out of standard today.

Based on his experience in the wine industry, he should not have made such a low-level mistake.

One of the mistakes, Zhu Zhichun is not familiar with him. The two are nearly 20 years apart, their growth environment and life experience are very different, and there are really not many common topics.

The second mistake is that there is a problem with the staffing of this table. Pan Zhongfu is the boss, Wang Tianming is a friend, and the two are in a parallel relationship. The other three, one is a secretary, one is a lawyer, one is a translator, everyone is an employment relationship, on this occasion, Pan Zhongfu does not ask by name, and people who know something will never speak casually. As for Zhu Zhichun, Meng Yinyun, and Bian Xuedao, each one is more proud than the other, and they are not the ones who accompany the chat.

Wang Tianming couldn't stand it anymore and helped Pan Zhongfu to activate the topic, but he was really not a suitable person for an active topic.

When everyone was in France, they talked about luxury, and Pan Zhongfugang said that he participated in the "CEO course" class, and the topic extended to "high society".

Originally, there were some things that came out of Pan Zhongfu's mouth, just a simple joke, but as soon as Wang Tianming, a pedant with a bit of angry thinking, diverged and expanded, the topic became hot, and more and more people unconsciously participated in the topic, and finally even Zhu Zhichun and Meng Yinyun participated.

Pan Zhongfu said that before returning to China, he had to go to the Champs-Élysées and buy all the bags, perfumes, cosmetics, and clothes promised to his wife before he could go back. He said to Pei Tong: "My wife is about the same height as you, but she is two laps fatter than you, so I have to trouble you to help me try on clothes, and which store to go to, you can also help me with the staff officer." ”

Pei Tong said: "I am a student, and I have only seen a few high-end stores outside the window, and I have never entered them, so I am afraid that I will not be able to help with this favor." ”

Wang Tianming finally concluded: "The main body of luxury consumption in the world is people aged 40 to 60, because the main wealth of society is concentrated in the hands of these people, and the main body of luxury consumption in China is people aged 25 to 45, which is very abnormal, which reveals that China's social structure and consumption structure have great hidden dangers." Moreover, the sluggish demand and the preference for luxury are so incongruously collaged together that it is hard to understand. ”

When Wang Tianming said these words, his eyes swept to Zhu Zhichun and Bian Xuedao. Pan Zhongfu saw it, and said in his heart that I am a good girl, why did this nerd sing such a play?

Luxury?

Whether it's cars, cosmetics, or anything else, is there anything more extravagant than a winery? These three people who met in the intermediary of the winery just now now say that there are problems with China's social structure and consumption structure, and that their wealth is younger, which is simply scolding the bald donkey in front of a monk!

Wang Tianming really looked at Zhu Zhichun and Bian Xuedao and was unhappy.

He has known Pan Zhongfu for several years, understands Pan Zhongfu's temperament, knows that Pan Zhongfu is round on the outside and square on the inside, and usually smiles at people, but he doesn't look down on people in his bones. Today in the intermediary company, Pan Zhongfu and Zhu Zhichun talked to the scene, Wang Tianming saw it in his eyes, in his opinion, this young man, seven or eight times out of ten, is a second-generation official, because of the simple fight for wealth, there are few families that make Pan Zhongfu so self-defeating, and he has never heard of a rich family surnamed Zhu.

Thinking that he had studied all his life and taught for half his life, his son wanted to buy a wedding house in Shanghai, but he couldn't come up with much money, and he was depressed when he thought of this. If it weren't for the money, he wouldn't have lit a lamp and boiled oil to write a manuscript for a newspaper, nor would he have been on a TV show to say this and that according to people's intentions.

On the other hand, his classmates who have been in politics, at his age, as long as they stick to it, most of them have real power, the difference is only the size of the power, but no matter how small the power is, it is also power, and if you have power, you can seek rent. One of his classmates, as a substantive deputy section chief in the county land bureau, was promoted for 5 years, a suite in Yanjing, a suite in Shanghai, three suites in the provincial capital, and a number of shops, every time he thought of these, Wang Tianming felt very depressed, so he often asked a question in articles to the newspaper: When can the social rules of being an official and making a fortune be changed?

Because he hates being an official, he can't even get used to his subjective guesses, and the "second generation of officials" Zhu Zhichun is three people. Wang Tianming can't get used to a person, it's absolutely disobedient, and it doesn't matter the occasion. This is also the reason why he has been stumbling in school for many years without making an inch.

After Wang Tianming finished speaking, Pan Zhongfu played a round and said: "It's far away, China has been a small flower for Lao Tzu to make money since ancient times, and there is no inheritance tax, so it has nothing to do with the social structure and consumption structure." To put it bluntly, there are many people who get rich overnight, all kinds of people are uneven, family education can't keep up, and children are disobedient. Moreover, like my old Pan, there is no culture, a big old and coarse, some things are born with me, I can't change them, I can't learn them, I don't know how to appreciate antiques, red wine, or whatever, but on some occasions, I have to show my strength when I see someone, so why do I have to pick expensive buys, pick high-end ones that everyone says to buy, otherwise I'm so busy every day, I can't learn to appreciate or something. ”

Wang Tianming took a sip of water and said: "Lao Pan, in fact, people like you possess luxury goods, not own, because you never pay attention to the connotation of the brand and lack deep cultural identity. Also, you are more blind in the choice of brands, many luxury goods are actually big road goods abroad, but the publicity is done well, and the domestic value has soared dozens of times, and many people are still flocking to it. ”

After listening to Wang Tianming's words, Pan Zhongfu was not angry, got up to refill Wang Tianming's water, sat down and said: "You hit the nail on the head......! Information ......"

Pan Zhongfu "message" for a long time, but he didn't pick it up, and Bian Xuedao added next to him: "Information asymmetry. ”

Pan Zhongfu slapped the table: "Yes, it's information asymmetry, look at me, thinking about dragging the words, but the bottom is exposed." Oh, in the end, it's Zhu Gongzi's friend, it's just knowledgeable. ”

Bian Xuedao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, knowing that information asymmetry is insightful?

Zhu Zhichun took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out two, got up and handed it to Pan Zhongfu and Wang Tianming, then looked at Pan Zhongfu and said: "Mr. Pan, you just call me Xiao Zhu, as soon as you call me Zhu Gongzi, I feel like the voice of entering the Qinglou in the TV series." ”

"Poof......" Pei Tong, who was drinking water, squirted out a mouthful of water, but fortunately she subconsciously turned her head sideways and did not spray on the table, but Bian Xuedao, who was sitting on Pei Tong's left, became a hard-hit area.

Pei Tong's face turned red all of a sudden, and he hurriedly pulled out a tissue, wanting to help Bian Xuedao wipe the water, and Bian Xuedao said, "No, it's okay, I'll go to the bathroom to wipe it." ”

When Bian Xuedao came back from the bathroom, the topic on the table changed, from luxury goods to the second generation of officials who settled abroad, and then when it came to corrupt officials, Wang Tianming said like a river: "I think that not wanting to be greedy, not daring to be greedy, and not being greedy are the three realms of government governance. I don't want to be greedy, it's the most unreliable. Don't dare to be greedy, treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Only by not being greedy can we cleanse the officialdom. ”

Seeing that everyone was listening to him, Wang Tianming continued: "You can't be greedy, that is, even if you are greedy and you are willing to fall, but the power is in the cage, and the effective constraints of the system make you have no chance to start." People who want to be officials and make a fortune will be arrested quickly, either in the class room, or immediately dismissed and go home, and there is no fate with being an official in this life, so as to stop corruption and return social fairness, justice and clarity. ”

I thought there was admiration and applause here, but it didn't.

A table of people, except for his student Pei Tong, who showed a hint of admiration in his eyes, everyone else was calm, and there was no wave on their faces.

Besides, if you don't understand the complexity of society, you will only sit and talk about it, infinitely magnifying the words of a family and your own opinions, only mentioning ideas, not mentioning methods, only saying that I am unhappy, not talking about the solution path, which may not be a good thing for the society.

Not to mention anything else, just saying the three words "can't be greedy" has too much idealism in it.

Can idealism solve real-world problems?

Maybe, but Bian Xuedao has never seen it.
