Chapter 211: This Road Is Dead
"Not leaving?"
McGler had a bamboo leaf needle in his mouth, and his face was turned away from Christian, who was in prison, with a look of pity. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"What are you going to do?" Christian Ting did not raise his head, "I am a sinner of all the members of the Anji Village Production Cooperative, I should not question the revolutionary line of the leader, and I should not ...... against the revolutionary plots."
"Come on!" Merchant McGler crushed the clods of dirt under his boots with his boots, "What kind of hammer is it, your 'mentor' still wants to pull me into the gang, thinking I can't understand?" ”
"Don't talk about it." Christine's head was buried in her knees, and she threw out such a weak answer.
"Hey, he's Wu Ditan the Heavenly King Laozi? There's a way to rob his father! McGeller was dissatisfied with curling the bamboo leaves so high that the export of bamboo in Anerji Village was all up to his hard-working trader, so he was not worthy of the Chinese Wu Ditan who seemed to him to be completely vain.
"Forget it......" Christine knew that she couldn't resist this hard old fellow with an equally hard attitude, "you're here to pull me away?" Nothing else? ”
"Seeing that his friend and partner have suffered such an unwarranted disaster, if he does not help, wouldn't he have lost the basic self-cultivation of a businessman? I can't even protect the people who bring profits to myself, so who else is worthy of my protection? ”
Listening to McGler's righteous and awe-inspiring words, Christian suddenly felt a little sad: his trusted comrade, the "revolutionary partner", is in the end not as good as a businessman who sees money and takes money as the bottom line!
Of course, he would not have known that although Wu Ditan and Zhao Jiayin had done in Anerji Village, they had long had no bottom line to speak of -- for example, the "current counter-revolutionary" sign hanging around his neck was the best footnote to this fact.
"That's a high-sounding thing, so how are you going to save it?" It was only when the villager "jailer" was a little further away from the prison that Christine broke the silence again. In fact, he is not a person who can succumb to fate so easily, not to mention that if he does not change, his fate after this can only be done by death.
"Take it away." McGler turned his head and glared at Christian dissatisfiedly, "Whether you are dead or not, it's just a sentence from the 'Great Leader' Wu Ditan." You probably don't know the fact that Wu Ditan is majestic in your village, but he is obedient to me, right? ”
Admittedly, Wu Ditan really had no room for bargaining with the merchant McGler. On more than one occasion, Wu Ditan tried to violently brand this grumpy businessman as a "capitalist runner" and force him to submit and even make his employees hand over all the goods -- that is, kidnapping.
But each time he was persuaded by his own reason, and even stopped by Han Deshan. There is no other reason: if there is no way to export the bamboo, the only product that can be traded externally, then no matter how communist and advanced the "Anji Village Production Cooperative" is, it can only usher in a complete collapse due to lack of materials.
No matter how much Wu Ditan is full of economy, no matter how much he can influence Anerji Village, and turn Anerji Village into a social experiment base called a "production cooperative" and actually a "Stanford Lucifer" (note: please search), he will not be able to create something out of nothing like a god, so that the people in Anerji Village, which is already poor in resources, can "live a happy life with abundant products and distribution according to demand".
Painting cakes is painting cakes, but it doesn't even have ink to paint cakes, right? Wu's compromise has to do with the status quo in large part. If it weren't for Magler to sell bamboo to other villages and towns, Anerji Village would not have been able to achieve its current standard of living - if so, how could it gain the trust and support of the villagers, so that they could turn from villagers to "members"?
"Take you, and your family, and tell the public that you have been executed, and your family is exiled." McGler's sentences are astonishing, and his whimsical whimsical surprise even Kristing. "How's that, can you take it? Don't think about it too complicated, Wu Ditan originally wanted to kill you Liwei, you can't see such a means? ”
Christine did not answer. But under McGeller's gaze, Christian could be seen nodding heavily.
"Are you sure you want to protect him? It's not impossible...... But you have to understand......"
Hearing McGler's proposal, Wu Ditan and Han Deshang and the other four couldn't help but be a little surprised, and the most surprising thing was naturally Wu Ditan -- he never imagined that this "person from the outside village" who he could not take care of the most would come to "challenge" the order he had established.
"No. McGler smiled naturally, "Christine will die, but it's only the name that dies." I understand Mr. Wu Ditan's plans, and I will not let Mr. Wu's majesty be empty in the bamboo basket of the Anerji Village Production Cooperative. ”
Killing people is a common tactic used by emperors and generals and dictatorial lords. As the son of a merchant who has lived in Mendong City for half a year, even if he has not read the Elta history series in his family's collection, he will still love and immerse himself in the radio and paper versions of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in Mendong City, just like other ordinary people.
Unfortunately, Magler happened to be a big fan of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" - when he was in Mendong City, he bought three sets of hardcover editions of Elta's lingua franca edition of the Three Kingdoms paper books. Needless to say, it is naturally a set of use, a set of collections, and a set of missionary "old three sets". And McGler, who was deeply influenced by the famous strategists, was naturally familiar with Wu Ditan's strategy......
"But I want to be executed publicly." Wu Ditan struck the coffee table a few times with his knuckles, and then followed McGregor in a surprising voice, "Since you seem to understand something, then you also know that we villagers in Anji Village want to see traitors who are dead, not a name that has become shriveled. You know what I mean, right? ”
"This kind of thing is what Mr. Wu needs to consider." McGler was unfazed by the threat, "I just want to take Christian and his family alive, and I don't care who the public executioner is, whether he is dead or not." ”
Even in the face of four Chinese, businessman McGregor still thinks he has a win. Wu Ditan deliberately moved in Han Deshang and Wang Liqun, two doers who have a high reputation in Anerji Village, but in essence, they cannot be strong for himself, but highlight his own weakness.
"And what if I don't allow it?" Wu Ditan bit his lip and looked embarrassed - he really didn't expect McGler to have a strong chip in his hand and his attitude to be so hard. Now he must know McGler's bottom line, otherwise he can't talk about it at all.
"If Mr. Wu wants to go his own way, then I can't do it." McGler spread his hands, "After all, Anerji Village is your territory, Mr. Wu, and I can't speak." But in the future, I am afraid that our cooperation will end here. ”
"Nothing more than that". Wu Ditan thought so in his mind. McGler really only had this hole card to threaten him, but it was this hand that scratched his itch and made him powerless.
Magler's business as a whole is not a simple exchange, but a new model for the entire merchant industry to optimize the resources of East Elta. After the introduction of advanced overall planning ideas, the chamber of commerce where Magler is located has changed from simply "scratching the itch of profits" to "scratching the itch of customers", replacing simple interest traction with demand traction.
The result of these conceptual evolutions is that Magler is able to bring almost any "normal commodity" that Wu wants. At the same time, a large amount of bamboo raw materials also flow into the East Elta market through this channel. When it comes to Magler alone, in fact, Wu Ditan has no need to be afraid.
Magler, as well as the entire chamber of commerce behind McGler, should actually be regarded as Wu Ditan's "accomplice", assisting Wu Ditan's "pretending cause" in Anerji Village. As for the "illegal sale of bamboo" presided over by Wu Ditan, McGeller can be regarded as turning a blind eye -- but what if they choose to sell Wu Ditan, an already somewhat well-known "anti-thief", to the central government? Christine is dead, but what if McGler takes him away and makes him a witness for the central government?
Wu Ditan just wanted to be tough, but the sudden thought made him immediately shrink back, and his whole body was hairy. After pondering for a moment, he reopened his mouth and said tentatively:
"If you take Christine away, then according to you, you must change his name and surname. So how are you going to let him live? ”
"That's my business." McGeller thought that the matter had reached nine points by this point, so he did not chase after it. "Mr. Wu, we still have to make a fortune together, if the incident does not happen in Anerji Village, it is completely impossible for me to reveal you and your behavior to the central government, as well as ...... and Panda Group. ”
This is the hole card in the hole card. The Panda Group can be said to be the last thing Wu Ditan wants to hear, because according to the convention and rumors, the actions of the Panda Group and the central government will soon respond to them and the heads of Anerji Village. And just last night, in his capacity as secretary of the general meeting, he presided over a new vote in Anerji Village, at which he passed a resolution on the whole village to retreat from the attack of the central government and "victoriously turn into guerrilla warfare."
Turning in these two words is never a good word, and to be honest is to run away. And Wu Ditan also asks himself from time to time, is it the "lackeys" of the central government who run fast, or he and the villagers of Anerji Village run fast? Can this escape really be able to escape?
What's more, it was Han Deshang who seriously suggested to him: It doesn't matter if the revolution fails, what is needed is to keep the flame of the revolution, in other words, let him not die in Anerji Village, and it is better to run away quickly with the fruits of the revolution......
The problem is not how ugly and bastard this sentence is, but that it does tickle Wu Ditan's itch.
