Chapter 597: Dealing with Contradictions (23)
"Brother Erjun, how are you doing?" Tokuhei Taro asked the person opposite. At this time www.biquge.info the two of them were located on the fourth floor of the headquarters of the Edo Tokuhei Bank near the Edo Nihonbashi, instead of the 'Hayashi Pavilion' opened by Taro Tokuhei in Yoshiwara as before.
Listening to Tokuhira's inquiry, the messenger hurriedly replied, "He's fine." ”
"I contacted Brother Erjun this time, mainly because I heard that he could get a TV set. So I want him to get me a batch. As he spoke, Tokuheitaro filled the pot with tobacco in his cigarette pouch and lit it with a match. Then the messenger smelled a very good smell of burley smoke.
The envoy watched as Tokuhira Taro held the cigarette pouch and pot extremely beautifully made, and the slender cigarette stick was depicted with various delicate patterns, copper eye bags, and amber cigarette holders were very delicately made. Hold this thing and wear Japanese-style clothes. Tokuhei Taro looked like he was already Japanese.
Of course, this could not be said, and the messenger asked: "Does Japan already have its own television station?" ”
"I'm going to do one." Tokuhei Taro smoked a cigarette pouch and replied lazily.
The messenger immediately felt that this was a bit of a joke, and he continued, "And how much do you want?" ”
"Get me 2,000." Tokuheitaro said as he knocked off the ashes on the clay ashtray.
The messenger's facial muscles flicked slightly, but he resisted the urge to laugh. Tokuheitaro's style reminded the envoy of a film about a feudal landlord. The old man inside is high up, and the score is pretentious. Tokuhira Taro gave the messenger the same feeling. Therefore, the envoy was very puzzled, how could a good person become so virtuous after arriving in Japan?
The reason why the envoy was invited to exchange was because he could not reassure Tokuhiraro with a tool like the telegraph. The matter was settled, and the contact code was determined, and the envoy immediately flew directly from Edo to Beijing. Back in Beijing, the car that came to pick up the messenger took him directly to a hotel. When I entered the private room, I saw the 'Second Army Brother' sitting in front of the empty table, and put a thin slice of meat on the small fork into his mouth with an unhappy face. Seeing the envoy come in, the 'Second Army Brother' pushed the plate with a few thin slices of meat in front of the envoy, and said with a complaint: "Now in this world, you dare to make raw ham anywhere. It's all acorn pork flavor. The state must pay close attention to the work of cracking down on counterfeit and shoddy products! ”
After listening to these righteous words, the envoy took a look at the paper-thin slices of raw ham, the color was also red and bright, but it was still a little impure compared to the old Minchao ham that had been popular for 20 years. Picking up the small fork on the plate and putting it in his mouth, the messenger couldn't help frowning. The top raw ham relies on the aroma of the ham meat itself made by acorn feed, the charming hazelnut nutty taste, the aged oil and gas full of cheese feeling, and the smooth and round raw ham is tender and can melt in the mouth. With Fenjiu or wine, it makes people addicted to it.
The ham on the plate is either inferior or inferior in all aspects, and the combination of all kinds is greatly inferior, at most it is qualified. For the 'second army brother', the qualified product is unqualified.
Just when he didn't know what to say, the envoy listened to the second army brother say mockingly: "Tokuhei Taro is starting to talk again now." Before his son Yao Bang stepped down, he dared to do anything. In the past few years, no one has paid attention to him, and he has been hiding in Japan for a few years. In the past year, he has been pulling people everywhere to invest money, and he has probably recovered. ”
"I don't think he's more and more Japanese." The messenger replied.
"Roar! How? "The second army came to be interested.
The envoy talked about Tokuheitaro's clothes and clothes, the slender cigarette pouch and pot like a spear, and all kinds of styles that ran counter to the simplicity and practicality of the Minchao Dynasty. Brother Erjun was extremely surprised at first, and then simply laughed out loud when he heard it. "Haha! I see, this guy turned out to be like this. Fun and fun! ”
After laughing, Brother Erjun took the paper handed by the messenger and looked at it, then took out the lighter and burned the note on it that wrote how many TVs he had bought. Seeing the flames engulfing the Arabic numeral 2000, Brother Erjun sneered: "Now there are TVs everywhere, where can I give him so much." Even if I gave it, would he be able to give me so much money. If you can't keep it, you still have to pay on credit. ”
"I wonder why people suddenly started buying TVs!" The messenger laughed.
"It's not the people who made the TV that installed the TV for the leaders first, and everyone thinks that the things that the leaders have must be good things, so they follow the trend and buy it. Think about it two years ago, everyone didn't see what to buy. At that time, if there had been a TV, it would have sold better. Alas...... we didn't make it in time for that! Brother Erjun couldn't help but sigh at the end.
The messenger laughed a few times, and was very disapproving. At that time, the elder brother of the Second Army, Zi Yang, was just a prime minister, and at that time, everyone's attention was on the election of the president of the country who had just been on track, and the prime minister, who had long been replaced normally, was no longer the political focus of the early years. In addition, Ziyang has his own ambitions, and he also restricts his son Brother Erjun, so that Brother Erjun was unable to participate in the last round of criticism of the tide. Now it's different, with a large number of people in the country falling one after another, the guys who rely on batches of tiaozi to go out and mix have lost their backers. Brother Erjun took this opportunity to become the most prominent person in the yamen at this time. Although the second army brother was powerful at this time, in the eyes of the envoy who was also a critic of the army, the second army brother took more advantage of the general trend, but Tokuhei Taro created something. Even if these things are geisha services, the pioneers are more valuable.
"Here's the contact and password." The messenger handed another piece of paper to the second army brother.
Brother Erjun pushed the paper back, "Since you are in charge of this matter, I will just contact you." How much there is and how much price it will take, I will only talk to you. As for how much you give Tokuhira Taro, that's all your business. There are too many people who cheat me, our brothers settle accounts, I don't care how much you make, you just give you how much money you get. ”
The two talked for a while before ending the meeting. After the envoy went out, the second army brother leaned on the back of the chair and sighed, he also wanted to be righteous, and he also wanted to be so stubborn. But the environment does not allow it, although the people in the government are arrogant to the outside, they have never been self-disciplined. Those self-disciplined people have long found what they want to do, and they have risen to the top with their own efforts and the help of their families. Wang Mingshan's son, who is very envious of the domestic government, is now the owner of the large fleet, but he did a very good job in the unit before he resigned.
Those who rely on wholesale tiaozi and reselling are the masters of 'Huai Cai', or their purpose is just to make money easily and quickly. Therefore, the profits of buying and selling can not satisfy these people, and they do not have to pay to maximize profits after buying the product. That's what these grandsons really want!
In the face of a pack of hungry wolves, you can only deal with them by means of facing hungry wolves. Even if it doesn't look righteous, Brother Erjun can only do this.
Two days later, Brother Erjun arrived in Shanghai. His purpose was to meet Mayor Luo, the television factory is a state-owned enterprise, and Mayor Luo has a great say here. Theoretically, the secretary of the municipal party committee has more right to speak, but the secretary of the municipal party committee is Shen Xin's person, and Brother Erjun doesn't want to touch this mold.
Got out of the train station and sat in the car to the hotel. Brother Erjun saw that the bicycles on the streets of Shanghai were very distinctive, some of the bicycles had very thick belts and the handlebars were straight sticks. Some bikes have slim belts and handlebars shaped like butterflies. These bikes also have some odd devices on the rear axle that look very different from the shape of bicycles that have been popular for three decades.
"What's going on with these bikes?" Brother Erjun asked.
"This is our new variable speed bike in Shanghai, so expensive! The money to buy one of these bikes is enough to buy several ordinary bicycles. The local yamani who came to greet him said proudly.
I wanted to ask, 'Is anyone buying it so expensive?' However, Brother Erjun still held back at the right time, the TV is not big, and the price is more expensive than the radio, so there are still people rushing to buy it. This year, the expensive thing has actually become a bestseller, and Brother Erjun feels that his thinking can't help but be a little confused.
It was not only the Second Army brother who felt the confusion, but also the cadres of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee who were also afraid. At first, everyone was quite restrained and spoke in a decent manner. Until Mayor Luo said loudly, 'Relax when it's time to relax, and at this time, everyone also needs to brag about themselves'! Then the atmosphere immediately became enthusiastic, and all departments were showing their efforts to prove that the link they were responsible for was indispensable. The feeling of fear was quickly diluted by the warm atmosphere.
Then the secretary of the municipal party committee spoke: "Your Majesty is worthy of your majesty, I think my opinion of Your Majesty was incorrect before. If His Majesty had not seen through the needs of the people, how could the people have paid for such expensive televisions and bicycles without a government order? ”
As soon as these words came out, the venue immediately fell silent. His Majesty Wei Ze has actually taken a back seat in recent years and faded out of the core of power, so His Majesty Wei Ze's proposal is no longer equivalent to His Majesty Wei Ze's guarantee. When Mayor Luo insisted on implementing His Majesty Wei Ze's suggestion, many comrades still pinched drops of cold sweat. It turns out that His Majesty's judgment is still accurate, even if he has hidden behind the scenes, the people's choice is still as His Majesty expected.
In this silence, Mayor Luo spoke, "This incident has given me a new understanding of Your Majesty. In the past, I thought Your Majesty was great because everyone was willing to support Your Majesty. Now I think it's right that the older generation is so desperate to support His Majesty, it's not His Majesty who orders the country to do something, Your Majesty has said that it responds to the needs of the people and serves the needs of the people. This one is true. ”
If it were the past ten years, anyone who dared to say that would have been considered a sycophant. Facts speak louder than words, and this time the cadres of the municipal party committee never had such thoughts. Before everyone wanted to say something in agreement, Mayor Luo said: "I am going to send someone to visit Your Majesty again, and ask Your Majesty to make a prediction about our television and bicycle industry." I don't know who you think is more suitable? ”
The cadres looked at each other and began to consider whether they had volunteered to take on this job.
