Chapter 16: The Fisherman of Africa
The temporary workers at the cocoon station came to say hello, indicating that people had noticed Ye Luwei's behavior of digging corners. At this time, many people use "digging the corners of socialism" to block the market demand released by reform and opening up, and most people are still very receptive. For example, the behavior of Ye Luwei and others, even the ordinary silkworm farmers themselves, who are the cornerstone of society (oppressed and exploited), think that they are "digging a corner of socialism".
Ye Luwei was not ready to reason with others, nor did he have the courage to awaken the consciousness of the whole people. History has proven that these great works will eventually lead to violent revolution.
As a traveler with experience in later generations, I have heard a lot of examples of eggs hitting stones, and this kind of thing is absolutely to be avoided in the struggle with power.
It's Saturday, and it's still six days a week, with only Sunday off. Ye Luwei estimated that the acquisition in Longguang Town would last until tomorrow at most, and no matter how efficient it was, the leaders of the county silk factory would start dealing with this matter for their own interests at the latest.
When you are a leader, you don't think it's a pig's head, in fact, basically the leader is the real elite, whether it is for public or private purposes.
If the purchase of silkworm cocoons is released, what the consequences will be, these leaders in charge may know better than Ye Luwei, who has experience in later generations. At least the few leaders of the silk industry that Ye Luwei knew all retreated before the collapse of the industry, which shows that people know the direction and outcome of the industry very clearly.
From the analysis of the number of information, the leader has the most and most complete industry information, and it is completely appropriate to analyze the time of industrial collapse in advance.
If a person who is a leader can't even see such a big risk, then he is either the second generation of pigs written in novels, or after becoming a leader, he unfortunately suffers from Alzheimer's disease, and there is no third possibility.
Ye Luwei had already thought of this possibility, and the reason why he expected that he would be dealt with so soon next Monday was because the traverser found Wang Fatzi without explanation, such a big money who got rich in advance, and carried out the acquisition too aggressively. The information fed back by the Seven King Kongs said that there were silkworm cocoons quietly coming over in Xiaolong Town on the other side of the river.
The shade of the yellow cypress trees on the riverside street was originally the best place to enjoy the cool summer, play chess and cards, drink tea and chat, and if the shadow is sparse, you can even get into the painting and play selfies.
Unfortunately, it was the hot, sleepy and tired noon of the day, and the shadows under every tree were crowded with resting people.
Although Ye Luwei was born and grew up in Sri Lanka, psychologically he has not been mixed here for many years. The wealth accumulated by reform and opening up has not yet reached the point where every household has hot water bathing every day, and the powerful aura that can be produced by the gathering of a large number of sweating people is not an exaggeration to describe it as a god hating ghosts.
When he was standing under the sun and waiting for someone with He Erliu, Ye Luwei missed his sunhat and sunglasses more than he missed his wife and daughter, which shows that human beings still care more about themselves than they care about others.
The person to wait for is He Erliu, the boat boss Hong Qiye in this section of the river in Longguang Town. Hong Qiye is the real guy who was born and grew up in Si, and in the end he will definitely sleep in Si.
Hong Qiye has a high rank in Hongjiagou, he has been called Hong Qiye since he was a child, and now he is in his sixties, and those who are not surnamed Hong around him are also called Hong Qiye.
Hong Qiye is said to have been born on a boat, and after his mother gave birth to him, he also caught half a boat of fish before returning to the shore to wash his body and pack up the child, the legend is very legendary.
Before the nylon fishing net was not so cheap that He Erliu could afford a pair, Hongjiagou's family surnamed Hong could basically be called a fisherman's family, and Hong Qiye was a good fisherman in Hongjiagou since he was a child.
When Ye Luwei was younger, he heard that someone in the town had caught a big fish that was much longer than people, and he walked to the town to see it, and the fish was indeed longer than an adult.
After Hong Qiye caught the fish king BOSS, the prestige value accumulated to worship, and when he was middle-aged, he became the helmsman of Hongjiagou, and the large and small fishing boats on this section of the river were under his jurisdiction. Including grabbing fish and fighting with Xiaolong Town on the opposite side, they were all commanded by Hong Qiye.
In the early 90s, the transformation of the whole canal system of the Jialing River had not yet begun on a large scale, and only experiments began in the Qingju section.
This section of the river in Longguang Town is narrow, the water is fierce, there are many rocks, and there are relatively many places where fish can hide, so it has not been extinct.
Hong Qiye's apprentices and grandchildren are destined to have nothing, but there are still many apprentices who occasionally go to the nets to catch small fish, and the boats kept by these people are the reason why Ye Luwei is looking for Hong Qiye.
Hong Qiye has a strong body and walks with his legs crossed, obviously showing too many traces of life on the boat. I wasn't surprised to see Ye Luwei, this child's name had been fried several times in the town within a few days, and even the old things of adulthood were turned out by everyone. In fact, this is the so-called hype of later generations, but it is passive hype, not shameless self-hype like later generations.
Ye Luwei was a little depressed, he didn't appear in front of the public much during the entire acquisition activity, and somehow he was accurately considered the leader. Brother's brilliance is hidden in the countryside, and it can't stop your bright dog eyes.
Hong Qiye very simply agreed to the price of ten yuan per person per day per boat, and he could organize more than ten boats according to Ye Luwei's needs.
The fishermen were the last group of people to be reformed, and although they were given land after liberation, until now, there are still a few families who refuse to farm, and they live a life in Africa by fishing in the small rivers of the Jialing River and Hongjiagou.
Many years later, Ye Luwei read the report and said that Africans were dying of hunger, and he couldn't understand how he starved to death while guarding the fertile savannah that can support a large number of wild animals. Later, I figured out that this was not a natural disaster, it was caused by people who were too lazy.
Yejiawan's per capita cultivated land is only more than one acre, and before the package is delivered to the household, it is a well-known poor bay nearby, and there are many singles in groups. However, after the package production was delivered to the household, only about three years later, Yejiawan was poor and thought about change, and became the village with the most annual pigs killed in the vicinity.
More than ten years later, except for two families in Yejiawan who guarded their hometowns, all the others abandoned the two-story buildings they had built and went to various cities to buy houses and raise children. didn't rely on anything, just relied on the word "diligence".
Seeing the fishermen gathered in a few small wooden boats, Ye Luwei remembered the reports on Africa in later generations, which may also be very suitable for these stubborn fishermen.
The reason why a tradition is a tradition is that it is respected and observed for a long time. Hong Qiye's fishing boats now abide by tradition and cannot cross the river line.
This line in the center of the river is not a line that can be seen, nor is it a line where the width of the water surface is divided by two, but the center line of the main river channel. Let's put it this way, it's the line with the highest and fastest current.
Ye Luwei got Hong Qiye, and even hired five people with boats, but he could only cross the river by ferry. At this time, the ferry was a county water transport company, a state-owned enterprise.
The width of the river in Longguang Town, Jialing River, is almost seven or eight hundred meters in summer, and there is no walkie-talkie era, Hong Qiye naturally has other means of communication, mainly waving, shaking clothes, shouting and jumping and jumping, which is regarded as an early flag language. When crossing the river, Ye Luwei cleverly brought a "fish cat" (fisherman) as a temporary correspondent.
Xiaolong Town is located on the left bank of the Jialing River, and the Jialing River suddenly turns to the right when it arrives here, so that the Xiaolong Town on the left bank lives in the outer bend of "the outer bend is dangerous, and the inner bend is shallow".
The gap between the inner and outer bends has its scientific reasoning, the outer bend water flow is fast, and the inner bend water flow is slow, so Xiaolong Town has been washed into a strange stone riverbank, while Longguang Town is a wide and fertile river mudflat, the widest place of the reeds on the riverside is nearly one kilometer, and the entire inner bay is nearly five kilometers long.
In the reed forest in the early 90s, there were flocks of waterfowl, water hairy otters (otters) in teams, and many people could be fed by picking wild duck eggs in spring and summer. Ye Luwei himself had the experience of going in to pick up wild duck eggs and getting lost, but fortunately he knew that he first walked to the river after listening to the sound of the water, and then returned to the road along the river.
The awkward riverbank of Xiaolong Town has nothing to offer, and the only advantage is that the harbor is more watery, and occasionally large ships anchor in Xiaolong Town for the night, making Xiaolong Town look more formidable.
In fact, because of its high location, Xiaolong Town is not afraid of floods, so there is only one street, and there is no riverside street that is poetic, picturesque, or on TV.
Although Ye Luwei and He Erliu are two different learning creatures, and the content of each other's learning is completely different, as scholars in their respective fields, their horizons and footprints are the same as ordinary people.
Don't think that second-rate people who don't read books "don't learn and have no skills", "the saying that there is a specialization in art" is the truth, but unfortunately most people understand the pitifully narrow knowledge of writing as all "arts".
He Erliu does not rely on anyone, and he can go from a second-rate person who "doesn't learn and has no skills" to a net worth of nearly 100 million in more than ten years, which is definitely not the luck and black asshole that most "readers" understand.
In the previous life, He Erliu's main business was labor contracting and international low-end labor export, and judging from the situation that Ye Luwei took care of him, he could be called a "conscientious entrepreneur". There has never been a long-term arrears of wages for migrant workers, and there has never been a variety of cheat deduction management systems, and the management can be said to be more humane than most state-owned enterprises.
He Erliu's understanding of his own ability is the famous saying of later generations: Give professional things to professionals to do. The level of employment is very high, and the sense of identity and adhesion of the main employees exceeds the market average.
Such a person who has not read many books, you "readers" cannot arbitrarily say that he does not like to learn, and what he learns is not just book knowledge.
In later generations, so many management works taught people to be leaders and bosses and be a generation, but the people who wrote the books themselves may not have the ability to be a leader, a boss and a generation. Moreover, each success has its own success, and it is completely impossible to replicate. Failure has its own failures, but failure is much more reproducible than success.
After all, mothers in the world are basically the same, but children are different. Unfortunately, failure is success success.
In Xiaolong Town, of course, two top students in different fields have been here many times, and the two even swam here when they were younger. I found the cocoon station in Xiaolong Town with a familiar car, and sure enough, there was also a person here who was doing business before He Erliu. He Erliu also knows the boss of this street.
There is nothing to say, at the cost of the price of the cocoon station on the same day, the other party is required to supply to the Jiangxin line. The other party said that there was no pressure at all. In fact, people quietly sent their younger brother over to deliver the goods to Ye Luwei before.
Leaving two King Kong to help the second-rate sons of Xiaolong Town set up cards to receive goods. Ye Luwei and He Erliu returned to the riverside wharf, and the temporary correspondent they brought sent a signal to Longguang Town, and the small fishing boats on both sides rowed towards the center of the river at the same time. A few minutes later, they converged in the backwater vortex on the side of Longguang Town on the Jiangxin Line.
Ye Luwei saw that the boatmen on both sides cleverly used the backwater to spin in the center of the river, and they could stay without anchor and power, and he couldn't help but praise it. People also have unique skills.
The day of Xiaolong Town's rush is 369, Longguang Town's is 258, and the town of Manhongyu's family is called Land Temple, and the day of the rush is 147. The three towns are arranged along the Jialing River, which is as large as a triangle in a straight line, which just meets the appeal of the nearby big girls and little daughters-in-law to "catch up once every three days and wash clothes every ten days".
Today is July 11, 1992, Saturday, the twelfth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar. After reading the perpetual calendar, I feel that the ancestors are really lenient, and they shave their heads.
Xiaolong Town will not rush to the scene until tomorrow, and it happens to be staggered with Longguang Town to collect the cocoon peak.
In one afternoon, the second-rate sub-organization in Xiaolong Town was not very good, and only sent less than 500 kilograms of cocoons. He Erliu was very dissatisfied, and went to Xiaolong Town to guide the work before it was dark, determined to make a beautiful first victory when he arrived tomorrow.
Before leaving, Ye Luwei stopped him and took him to the credit union to exercise his "special drawing rights" for the first time.
Hu Yong saw that the money that was only saved in the morning was taken away in the afternoon, and he couldn't help crying and laughing, Yan Zhan Ng wondered if he had overestimated Ye Luwei, is this goods just a mouthful of goods? Except for blowing, nothing else.
Ye Luwei discovered in time that he had overestimated the ability of the second-rate people in Xiaolong Town to pay their debts. In Longguang Town, there are "celebrities" like Ye Luwei and "national cadres" like Zhou Yi Du jointly endorsed, and everyone was suspicious, until today Man Hongyu personally issued invoices, and stamped the "official seal of a large company", which was regarded as the official opening of the curtain of the acquisition of Baitiao.
The second-rate people in Xiaolong Town may not have this kind of luck and can find someone to endorse them. Ye Luwei was not ready to expand the business of "Great Southwest Silk Trading Co., Ltd." to the other side, so he simply adjusted to a cash acquisition.
He Erliu held 50,000 yuan in cash, and went to find an uncle whose family was a little disabled and couldn't go out to work to manage the money, and then went to the other side of the river. Before leaving, let Ye Luwei tell He's mother that he won't be back until tomorrow afternoon.
When it was getting dark, Wang Fatzi found another liberation car to pull away five tons of steamed silkworm cocoons, the same cash transaction. In these days, transfers are too slow, and many businesses across the north and south of the country are traded in cash.
The credit union has long since closed, but most of the staff live in the credit union yard. Hu Yong obviously just took a shower, wearing slippers to call the cashier to open the safe to deposit money, the yard was full of dust, even if it was a local tyrant unit like a credit cooperative, the public health at this time was cleaned by his own employees on duty every day, and he didn't dare to hire a cleaner. Well, the cleaner is even later, and there was a transitional title called cleaner before.
Ye Luwei pretended not to see Hu Yong's complaints that his slippers were dirty, smiled and handed over a watermelon to the cashier aunt who came to open the door, and sweetly called the fourth aunt Okay, the fourth aunt has worked hard...... The cashier's aunt's husband is from the supply and marketing cooperative, surnamed Ye, from Ye Jiawan, and Ye Jianguo are cousins who have not come out of the five suits.
Hu Yong had already seen a watermelon in this kid's hand, and was saying in his heart that how smart a person is, who should he bring a watermelon to? But when he saw that this kid didn't seem to see himself, he went directly to pick out the stinky feet of the fourth aunt. I admire and pantothenic acid in my heart, are you so Wuding that Brother Wu Ding won't accept your things?
Although it was a rush day, there were more than 30 people doing things today, and at about 7 o'clock in the evening, the last batch of cocoons were also on the steaming rack, and the table was opened to eat.
Dinner was much more sumptuous, almost like the New Year. A large pot of bitter gourd back to the pot meat, a large pot of fried rattan rattan vegetables (water spinach), a large pot of cold beans, a large pot of tomato meat slice soup, rice is to go to the restaurant to order two large barrels of steaming! Finally fed this wave of half-sized children and left some food, Mother He sweated profusely and smiled with relief.
After dinner, Ye Luwei's salary schedule has been made, and the bunch of minors in front of him will be the main labor force for the economy to take off in the future, and the sooner he learns to sign and receive money, the better. After eating first, it also invisibly accelerated the progress of eating.
Ye Luwei overturned Man Hongyu's opinion that the fine baby's family would send two or three yuan per person, and it directly doubled, and the outrageous one person paid five yuan!
This salary exceeds the number of state cadres, including the deputy director of the tax office, the salary at this time is about five yuan a day, of course, other income cannot be counted, including non-cash benefits.
The salary list is very strange, the first line is a big "Great Southwest Silk Trading Co., Ltd. salary list", the second line is the date, and the third line is the name, unit, amount, recipient, remarks, all of which are very normal. However, the name column below and the signature column on the right are empty, and the person receiving the money has to fill in his own name.
Because Ye Luwei didn't know the names of these people at all, he only knew that this one was called Ye Er, and that one was called He San or something. It's not an even more unreliable gangster, and it's even more impossible for two dogs and three pigs to be in the book. For the entire salary list, Ye Luwei wrote a letterhead and a long list of "5 yuan".
Mother He, Man Hongyu, and Sister He are all on this table, which is also five yuan a day, but these three people did not receive the subsidy of one yuan at noon, so +1 yuan in the remarks. Ye Luwei believes that He Erliu will deal with it like this in the future, but now he can't wait for him to grow up, so he will decide it himself.
Leave a few people who live close to each other to work overtime, bake and steam the last batch of silkworm cocoons out and pack them, and the others will disperse in a hurry, and everyone will come back at home at half past seven tomorrow morning after breakfast.
From half past seven in the morning to eight in the evening, except for less than an hour of eating, a total of nearly eleven hours of work, but these guys were extremely excited, and they had no consciousness at all.
After the rapid take-off of the tile country's economy, people in this age group are the absolute main force, creating a total of more than one trillion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves, and it is estimated that from now on, it will be impossible to have such a high-quality labor force.
However, among the more than 30 people today, most of their personal achievements are very limited, except for He Erliu, who has become a rich generation, the others are all unknown.
The only thing worth mentioning is that He Debiao, the uncle of the family who went to the other side of the river with He Erliu to manage the money, and a few King Kongs who have been following He Erliu.
He Debiao, a junior high school graduate who has difficulty walking because of polio, followed He Erliu in his last life and has always achieved the position of administrative vice president of He Erliu's company, and his personal learning ability and crowd control ability are very good.
Think of a company that survives by the export of labor services, and even began to run its own technical school for the children of employees within the company, with tens of thousands of people working in various places all year round, and at least 30,000 people in the talent pool. At least Ye Luwei thought that he wouldn't be able to hold out for three days.
