Chapter 5 Father and son talk about the direction of the wind at the night banquet at home

After Fan Wuxian drove Feng Nan and Feng Nan who was on the way, he turned around and went back to the company to pick up his sister Fan Ting, and then asked Ouyang Xiaowei, "Where are you going?" ”

"Don't bother you, I'll get off at the intersection in front." Ouyang Xiaowei said softly.

Fan Wuxi glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Ouyang Xiaowei twisting the corners of her clothes with her hands, her fingers were slightly white, and she couldn't help but ask, "Are you feeling unwell?" ”

Hearing this, Fan Ting turned her head to look at Ouyang Xiaowei and asked with concern, "What's wrong?" Looks bad, let's go to the hospital? ”

Ouyang Xiaowei's face turned red and she made a lip gesture at Fan Ting.

"Oh! I see! Fan Ting suddenly patted her forehead and said to Fan Wuxi, "Wuxian, you can go home by yourself!" I'll send Xiaowei back! ”

couldn't help but say, Fan Ting got Fan Wuxi down, and then drove Ouyang Xiaowei away.

"Hey!" The car ran a long way before Fan Wuxian came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and waved in front and shouted, "Don't drive so fast, where is our house?!" ”

It's a pity that Fan Ting drove very fast, and she had already disappeared at this time.

Fan Wuxian smiled bitterly, standing on the road and looking at both sides, on both sides of the long street are winding street lamps like fire dragons, at this time the sky has already darkened, everywhere is full of lights, traffic, traffic on the road comes and goes, non-stop.

After six years of absence, Yanjing's urban development has changed a lot, and many crops have become high-rise buildings at this time, but there is still a big gap between the image of the capital that I know in the future, especially in recent years, the traffic pressure has been heavy, and the city's air quality has deteriorated.

Standing on the side of the road and smelling the exhaust fumes of the car was really uncomfortable, Fan Wuxian rummaged through his pocket, found a small notebook, on which he wrote down the address of his home, and then he stopped a yellow-faced one and sat on it.

"Drink, the little master's clothes are good, you have to pay a thousand yuan, right?" The driver is a middle-aged uncle, who is more talkative, and when he saw Fan Wuxian's dress, he knew that the child had a good net worth.

"Hey, hey." Fan Wuxian didn't want to say more, so he snorted twice.

I am used to sitting in a good car, and the feeling of sitting on the yellow face is indeed not very good, but the driver did not stop talking along the way, and he didn't feel that it was boring, and it took about twenty minutes to finally send Fan Wuzhi home.

Fan Heng has long been treated at the department level, although there are many officials at this level in the capital, but the benefits are good, and now the residence of the Fan family is already located in a villa area built by the unit fund-raising, the environment is good, a three-story small building, a small garden and lawn and parking spaces are readily available, and the middle passage is accompanied by tall trees moved from the mountains on both sides, which is quite good.

As soon as Fan Wuxian arrived at the gate of the community, he was stopped by the armed police who served as the doorman.

"Please show your ID." The armed police said to Fan Wuxian with a serious face.

"I'm just going home-" Fan Wuxi was a little helpless, and finally had to say, "It's always okay to make a phone call, right?" ”

The armed police nodded and let him into the duty room.

Fan Wuxi called home, and it happened to be Fan Heng who picked it up, "Dad, I arrived at the gate of the community, and I was blocked from entering." ”

"Huh? Aren't you with Fan Ting? Okay, I see, you give the phone to the doorman. Fan Heng didn't expect Fan Wuxian to find his home alone, which was really a bit of a surprise.

After the doorman talked to Fan Heng, he released Fan Wuxian and gave him a small card pass, saying that he was pretending to be this first, and he didn't need it when everyone got acquainted in a few days.

"Thanks!" Fan Wuxi waved his hand and finally entered the door.

Fan Heng had already run out of the house and stood there looking at his son.

Fan Wuxi glanced at his father, saw that he actually had an apron tied around his waist, and his hands were covered with flour, knowing that he must be cooking for himself to prepare dinner, and the voice of his mother Zhang Mei came from the house, when both parents appeared in the light outside the house, Fan Wuxi suddenly found that his nose was a little sour.

This farewell is six years!

Fan Wuxian had wind under his feet, ran over in three or two steps, didn't say a word, kowtowed two heads first, and when he got up again, there was already a flash in his eyes.

"Alas, this kid, it's good to come back!" Fan Heng and Zhang Mei were also full of emotion and pulled their son back home.

"Why isn't my brother here?" As soon as Fan Wuxian came home, he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he found that he didn't see Fan Kang.

"Oh, he went to Tianjin, I guess he can come back tomorrow." Zhang Mei was a little strange, "Didn't Fan Ting pick you up, why didn't you see her figure?" ”

Fan Wuxian told him about the afternoon's events, and Zhang Mei was amazed when she heard it, "Hearing you say this, Fan Ting took care of the company well?" ”

"At least in the general direction, there is no problem, now it is only affected by the environment, and I estimate that it will soon be on the track of rapid development. Of course, there is still a big gap between the international large companies, and there are still many things that need to be improved in the details. Fan replied.

Zhang Mei shook her head and said, "I don't understand business matters, but if you come back this time, you don't have to leave again, right?" ”

Although Fan Wuxian left six years ago because of the environment, in fact, after the incident, news circulated from the side, saying that the above was very sorry for Fan Wuxi's going abroad, and let out the wind that there was no intention to pursue it. Fan Heng naturally couldn't be sure of the truth of this news, and he didn't dare to let his son return to China rashly, but judging from various later signs, this news should be undoubted.

But Fan Wuxian also had his plans, so he was not in a hurry to return to China, but stayed in the United States for six years, and during these six years, countless stories naturally happened, but they were not enough for outsiders.

Even in front of his parents, Fan Wuxian only talked about some interesting anecdotes about his life in the United States, and did not touch on his work at all. Therefore, as parents, Fan Heng and Zhang Mei only know that Fan Wuxi is living a very prosperous life in the United States, but they don't know how big a deal he has done.

However, according to Fan Heng and Zhang Mei's understanding of their son, I believe he will not be so honest.

"Actually, foreigners are also very easy to deal with." Fan Wuxian told his parents with a smile, "Once I specially invited the examiner to dinner in order to get a driver's license. The driver's license test system in the United States is very strict, and many people have to take the test many times to pass, and I don't want to waste too much time on it, so I have to think of something else. But the examiners were all part-time, and he was also a rich man, so it would not work to bribe him directly, so I invited him to dinner. ”

"And what did you treat him to eat?" Both Fan Heng and Zhang Mei were curious.

Fan Wuxian smiled, "Actually, there are many Chinese restaurants in the United States, but there are some dishes that they don't make, so I made him noodles, spent half a morning preparing the materials, and made a big pot at noon, which cost about ten dollars, and guess what?" He's almost eating that pot! ”

Fan Heng and Zhang Mei laughed, and both said that it seems that Chinese restaurants in the United States are not very authentic, and they will not get the most easily eaten things for ordinary people.

"This is also normal, most of the restaurants opened in the United States are Hong Kong and Taiwanese, and there are also many southerners on the mainland, and the tastes are all southern, so the noodles in the north are surprisingly rare, and I just made them so casually, and the other party was shocked." Fan Wuxian explained.

In fact, Americans have indeed never seen such a delicious and simple thing, and the effect is naturally not bad, so he gave Fan Wuzhi a free test.

"Then isn't he cheating? The values preached by this American do not match! Fan Heng asked.

Fan Wuxian then replied, "Actually, I asked him this question after I got my driver's license, but guess what he said?" He said that the person who can make such a delicacy must be a person who is full of love for life, and he has every reason to believe that such a person will not play with his own life or other people's lives. ”

"It's a lot of language arts." Fan Heng commented.

Zhang Mei said with a smile, "Okay, I guess you're hungry too, let's love life." ”

"Hehe, I've already smelled the smell wafting from the kitchen!" Fan Wuxian rubbed his stomach, "Why hasn't the old sister come back yet, it's not good if we don't wait for her." ”

"Leave her alone, she eats at home all day, as for robbing her brother?" Zhang Mei spoke, and immediately put the meal on the table.

"Well, it feels good to eat at home! I haven't seen the authentic crispy pork ribs in six years, steam-pot chicken, woo-" Fan Wuxian was so moved that his stomach growled.

"Okay, okay, no one is grabbing it from you, eat slowly, don't choke." Zhang Mei looked at Fan Wuxian's food, said with a smile, and patted Fan Wuxian lightly on the back with one hand, lest he choke.

Who knew that before Zhang Mei's words fell, Fan Ting hurriedly pushed the door in, shouting, "Starving, starving!" ”

With that, he sat down and reached for the ribs on the plate.

"Wash your hands first!" Zhang Mei immediately knocked the chopsticks on the back of her hand.

Fan Ting shrank her hand, then pointed to Fan Wuxi's black hand and said, "He didn't wash his hands either!" ”

"The third child at least knows how to use chopsticks, and he doesn't want to grasp it directly like you." Zhang Mei immediately retorted, and then nagged and taught, "How old is a person, why are you still frizzy?" I really doubt that the company was not tossed and closed down by you, I think it was all blessed by the ancestors! ”

Fan Ting immediately wanted to refute a few words angrily, but Fan Wuxian was still conscientious enough, stuffed a piece of ribs in her mouth, and then kept saying to her, "Be calm, be calm!" ”

Fan Ting nodded at Fan Wuxian and began to eat pork ribs, the eating appearance of the two sisters and brothers can be described as a whirlwind, a large table of dishes, most of them were killed by the two of them, Fan Heng and Zhang Mei had already drunk porridge earlier, at this time they only symbolically moved two chopsticks, and then smiled and watched their son and daughter eat, looking relieved.

"By the way, Minister Ye's wife muttered to me again todayβ€”" Zhang Mei said.

This is more effective than anything else, Fan Ting swooped upstairs, and when she left, she left a sentence, "Wash and sleep!" ”

"This kid!?" Zhang Mei shook her head a little helplessly, "I'm twenty-six, and I don't think about thinking about my life's events, what do you think about us as parents?" ”

Minister Ye? Fan Wuxi, who was flossing his teeth, moved his ears and asked, "Is that Minister Ye's wife?" What the hell is Ye Tian? ”

Zhang Mei nodded, indicating that it was right, but she asked in surprise, "You just came back, how did you know?" ”

Fan Wuxi snorted and said, "That kid has been taught a lesson by me today!" With him like that, he dares to dangle in front of my sister? If you don't know the fun, find someone to abolish him! ”

"Don't mess around, the Ye family's power in the capital is deep-rooted-" Fan Heng suddenly had a headache, and said in his heart, why is this son so uneasy, as soon as he came back, he taught the Ye family's youngest son a lesson.

Ye Tian's Laozi, is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, very powerful, and he is also very oily and watery in various ministries and commissions, although he himself is not bad, but his wife is a little domineering, and he is even more spoiled when he is old, so Ye Tiancai has a notoriety as one of the eight major public hazards in the capital.

Fan Heng and Zhang Mei know a little about this, so they have always been reluctant to respond to Ye Tian's mother's intention to get married, but the other party is very sincere and repeatedly harassed, which is very annoying.

The reason why the Ye family wants to get married is not that Fan Ting has really competed in the fairy, most of them still fall in love with the largest private company in China in Fan Ting's hands, PCFs Club, which is a large company with a profit of more than 400 million a year, and has a foreign background as an umbrella.

If Ye Tian can marry Fan Ting, then sooner or later this company will not be surnamed Ye?

But Fan Ting has long known Ye Tian's notoriety and has always ignored him, and this company is a signboard enterprise with a background, even if Ye Tian Laozi has some ability, he doesn't dare to openly hit the idea of the PCFs club, but Ye Tian is a thief, so he secretly used some small means to make trouble for Fan Ting's company.

After listening to Zhang Mei's introduction to the Ye family, Fan Wuxian had a clue in his heart, so he said, "It's not difficult to solve this matter, the key depends on my attitude, at most, I will show my investment tendency to the above, and most of the time it can be solved." ”

"You-" Fan Heng asked after a pause when he heard this, "What tricks are you going to do?" ”

"It's going to be kept secret for the time being." Fan Wuxian bought a pass, and then asked Fan Hengdao, "What has Dad been doing lately?" ”

Fan Heng sat comfortably on the sofa, watching Zhang Mei clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he chatted with Fan Wuxian, "I didn't do anything, but I was more concerned about the domestic economic situation, and I have been paying attention to the reform of the economic system recently." ”

"Oh? What exactly are you looking at? Fan Wuxian is a little concerned, after all, his father is relatively close to the upper class, although he is semi-leisurely, but the level is not low, and he has been exposed to a lot of substantive surnames, and his views are naturally different. In particular, Fan Heng has nothing to do lately, and he has a lot of time to digest the information he gets from all over the place.

"Recently, the above has been rectifying the private enterprises in Wenzhou, probably to give a specific statement." Fan Heng said.

Fan Wuxian nodded, in the history of China's reform, Wenzhou is a place that is easy to misunderstand. This is where China's private sector first sprouted. In the eyes of some, it is a hotbed of capitalism, a cancer that must be removed. In the minds of others, however, it is like the holy land of the market economy, and it is the vanguard of the non-governmental forces to break through the old system. So much so that for a long time, the evaluation of Wenzhou has become a side war and a thermometer for the reform position. Whenever there is a change in policy direction, the first signs can often be sniffed here.

Wenzhou merchants, known as the Jews of China, who had left their homes and traveled since they were very young, were the first people in China to have a sense of the market and the first to make money in business.

"In Wenzhou, there are China's earliest trade merchants, the first batch of professional markets, the first joint-stock enterprises, in many years, they are like a catfish fighting for their lives, appearing in every field with profit opportunities, they traffick small commodities, dig underground oil fields in Shaanxi, resell cotton in Xinjiang Province, they are also the earliest practitioners of business activities, new ideas disseminators, new product promoters, but also the earliest smugglers, smugglers, counterfeit and shoddy product manufacturers, they always wander on the edge of the law, Always be able to go out of their way to capture the business opportunities that have just emerged in the first place. Fan Heng said to his son.

Fan Wuxian nodded with a smile and said to his father Fan Heng, "This evaluation is very accurate. ”

Fan Heng continued, "I have seen an internal reference that says that a poor county in Wenzhou has also had an unbelievable economic case with black humor. Local farmers deliver letters to state-owned enterprises across the country to order a wide range of second-hand machinery and equipment, which is resold on the spot when it arrives at its destination. Then, those peasants went to the newspaper to publish the obituary of death under a false name, and when those foreign enterprises came to collect debts, some people showed them the obituary with a sad face, and when they died, who did they ask for debts? In this way, all the farmers in a village participated in this weird-looking fraud game, and the local area also formed the largest second-hand machinery and equipment trading market in southern Zhejiang. ”

"Hahaha-" Fan Wuxian couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "In order to make money, even this method can be come up, it's really impossible to say, I have to admire their business wisdom." It's just that this kind of practice, lacking a minimum of business integrity, sooner or later they will suffer a big loss! ”

"And people's hearts are also very impetuous!" Fan Heng then told a rumor, "It is said that in Wenzhou, there are people who have a good party, and they must serve two soups, one soup is a small boat made of 100 yuan bills floating in a large seafood basin, which is for smooth sailing, and the other soup is a small basin floating in a large seafood basin, on which there are ten imported watches placed regularly. ”

Fan Wuxi pursed his lips, very disapproving, it is true to be rich, but it is not beneficial to be so showy.

"But I learned about the industrial structure of Wenzhou, and found that there are no projects that can support the long-term development of the local economy, and there are many things that rely on counterfeit and shoddy products to obtain short-term profits. Fan Heng commented.

Fan Wuxian thought for a while and said, "Everything comes from the primitive accumulation of capital!" Although many people refuse to admit this, the private economy will gradually come to the forefront! The wisdom and cunning shown by Wenzhou merchants in business are completely different from hard deception and forcible taking, but they show the cunning and bloodiness without moral bottom line in the process of primitive accumulation. Along with the prosperity of the market and the prosperity of the people, the destruction of the original commercial order, the indifference of simple public concepts, and the destruction of the ecological environment. To be precise, the Wenzhou phenomenon is not an isolated case, it also exists in all regions where business activities are the first to be active, such as the Pearl River Delta and Chaoshan region in Guangdong, the Jinjiang region in Fujian, the southern region of Jiangsu, and so on. We can only say that this is an era that lacks a sense of good and evil, and that all moral value judgments pale in the face of the theme of the era, which is to get rid of poverty. ”

"Hehe, develop the economy!" Fan Heng scratched his head, "Someone has also said in public that in order to quickly develop the economy, it is okay to make some sacrifices appropriately. ”

Fan Wuxi sighed a little helplessly, and replied, "It doesn't matter if it's a white cat or a black cat, it's a good cat to catch a mouse." That's true, but what if the cat doesn't catch a mouse? On this issue, there is still a lack of some judging criteria. Alas, this is actually the price of development, and only when people pay for it, will they understand. ”

"However, the above may have to sort out the chaos of the Wenzhou market recently." Fan Heng said to Fan Wuxi, "There is another story in this.

In September last year, the Xinhua News Agency broadcast a press release entitled "The Minister of Commerce Buys Shoes," which said that in July, the Minister of Commerce went to Hubei to investigate and study and visited the Wuhan department store. In front of the shoe counter, I took a fancy to a pair of brown cowhide shoes with mesh, so I bought these shoes and put on the new shoes on the spot to continue the tour. When I returned to Yanjing the next day, I found that the heel of one of my shoes on my right foot had fallen off as soon as I took off my shoes.

So a few days later, at the meeting of the director of the city's commercial bureau, he talked about this incident and said with deep feeling that the proliferation of inferior products was too hateful. Producers are responsible for this problem, and commercial enterprises are also responsible for lax control of purchases.

Three days later, the Minister of Light Industry met with the Minister of Commerce and said that the quality of shoes is the problem that consumers have complained about the most strongly at present, and that the Ministry of Light Industry has planned to hold a special exhibition of counterfeit and shoddy shoes. The Minister of Commerce immediately expressed his support and said that if this exhibition is held, he hopes that the shoes he bought can also be exposed as an exhibit. ”

In the most vivid way, this news has allowed readers across the country to see the intrusion of counterfeit and shoddy products into ordinary life, so that the whole people can be reunited in their crusade. In fact, after this incident, a crackdown on counterfeiting and shoddy products has been set off everywhere across the country, and the results have been remarkable.

However, another fact that is happening is that the rectification of counterfeit and shoddy products will, at some point, also become a means and a reason for political axes at all levels to protect the vested interests of state-owned enterprises.

Since counterfeit and shoddy products are basically from private enterprises and individual handicraft workshops, they have naturally become the target of the crackdown, and the state-owned enterprises, which have been squeezed out of their resources and markets, have just turned back and taken advantage of the situation to regain many of the lost markets.

In this rectification, these small private factories have been severely rectified, and the reason is that blind development, duplicate distribution, and duplicate construction have seriously affected the national industrial planning. Such reactions are taking place in almost all industries where private factories are becoming more active. Objectively, this kind of rectification of surnames aimed at enterprises outside the system has restored the order of some industries, and has indeed dealt a blow to the trend of counterfeiting and shoddy products that is gradually spreading, but it is undeniable that it has also caused great trouble to private companies.

Therefore, in the past year, the number of individual industrial and commercial households has dropped sharply by 3.6 million, and in the eyes of some people, the individual economy has become a thing that goes against the times, and it is best to punish and crack down on them severely and quickly. Some people think that the central government has already taken it over, and it is a matter of time before it is banned. And the press, who are not sure which way the wind is blowing, has remained silent for some time recently, which has invisibly increased this uneasiness. Fan Heng concluded, "Judging from all the signs, it is time to clarify the weather vane again!" ”

"Dad, your inference is very accurate." Fan Wuxian had to give a thumbs up, Xindao Dad has not stayed in Yanjing in vain in the past few years, and his grasp of the tense is basically ** is not far from ten, he couldn't help but say, "Actually, I just rushed back because the wind direction was about to change." As an outstanding representative of private enterprises, how can I be missing from the Chinese people with the concept of foreign capital on the cusp of this kind of storm? ”

"You?! Also the Chinese child?! Fan Heng smiled and patted his son's shoulder and said, "Hairy boy!" ”

Fan Wuxian smiled slightly, and did not refute, in Lao Tzu's eyes, his son is always a hairy boy.

(To be continued)
