Wu Ling's voice sounded, "It looks like a Buddhist symbol deformation." ”

"Is it a talisman?" Liu Miao asked.

"No, it's just a symbol of auspiciousness, which should have been rarely used in the early years, and not many people should know it now." Wu Ling explained.

The footage zooms in and falls on the symbol.

The stamp-like pattern did look like some kind of complex symbol, not quite like a font.

"Go in and have a look." Ye Qing said.

The camera enters the store.

The interior of the store is also antique furniture, and there are many wooden cabinets, but there are also glass cabinets to display tea leaves.

There are both bulk tea and canned tea, and the canned tea has a signboard of "Tongren" printed on it.

The clerk was lazily playing with his mobile phone, and when he saw someone coming in, he raised his eyelids.

The camera went around the store and didn't catch anything.

Wu Ling's voice came from outside the screen, "Hello, we want to inquire about something. ”

The clerk asked, "What kind of tea do you want?" ”

"We're not here to buy tea. We are newspaper reporters, and we are doing a special report on tea shops across the country, and we want to do an interview with your boss. ”

The camera shifted to Wu Ling.

Wu Ling took something similar to an employee ID card from his bag and handed it to the clerk.

The clerk glanced twice, then at the camera, "You wait." ”

She entered the small door behind her.

After a while, the clerk came out, opened the door by the counter, and motioned for Aoba's people to come in.

There is a warehouse and office behind the storefront. There is only one office, but there is a lot of space inside, and there are several desks.

There is also a partition enclosing a separate office room, without a door, but with a sign reading "Manager's Office" hanging at the door.

The clerk stretched out his finger and asked Aoba's people to go in by themselves.

The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk stood up with his stomach straight, showed a more enthusiastic smile, and beckoned Aoba to sit down.

The video is fast-forwarded, and it should have skipped the content of politeness and greetings, and may have skipped some sets of almost interview content.

When the video returned to its normal playback speed, Wu Ling was asking questions.

“…… We noticed that Tongren has been open in Qingchazhuang for many years, and it is a time-honored brand for many years. The tea business is inseparable from local tea farmers, and there is currently no effective machine that can replace tea farmers on a large scale. I would like to ask, how does Tongren manage and arrange tea farmers? What about the treatment of tea farmers? ”

The middle-aged man thought for a long time before he said, "Our colleagues have always given preferential treatment to tea farmers. They are considered regular employees of our company, and we will help them pay five insurances and one housing fund. This treatment is the best in the whole industry. You can go and see, there is basically no tea shop that can do this to this extent. Tea farmers are also happy with this. ”

"Haven't there been some vicious incidents in the history of the Tongren?"

"No, it certainly doesn't." The middle-aged man shook his head solemnly.

"But as far as we know, during the period before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a vicious brawl between the Tongren and the Wanfu here. Employees at both companies, including tea farmers, were involved. It can be seen that the tea shop has a strong control over the tea farmers, which is almost equivalent to ......"

"These are two different things!" The middle-aged man interrupted Wu Ling's words, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but there was a reason for that incident." It's not that we control the tea farmers, we actually want to appease the tea farmers, and in the process of that matter, we have been reconciling the contradictions. It's the same with the Manfu. If there really is any conflict, so fierce that you need to do it, I won't speak for Wanfu, right? ”

"So, the revenge of the Tongren against the Wanfu after the incident, the arson incident, has nothing to do with you?"

The middle-aged man's face turned blue, and he pulled out a stiff smile, "That's not arson, it's an accidental fire." You go to Wanfu and ask, and they say the same thing. If we really set it on fire, they don't have a reason to speak for us. ”

The camera doesn't move any way.

The middle-aged man maintained a stiff smile on his face.

Wu Ling paused and asked, "So, can you trouble Manager Yang to tell me the whole story of that incident?" If what we are asking is not true, what is the truth? ”

The middle-aged man exhaled, still sat upright, and after thinking about it again, he said, "That incident is my grandfather's business." I was a child at the time, and the fourth grandfather in the next room was in charge of the house. Oh, I won't talk about this now, but at that time, I still paid attention to seniority and patriarchy. After that battle, only the fourth grandfather was left in our family. The situation of the owner of the Wanfu is similar, there are many fewer men. At that time, there were very few male laborers in the green tea estate, and many were disabled...... Tea trees have also been abandoned for so many years, and a lot of them have been destroyed. These are troubles. Tongren and Wanfu are ready to work together to tide over the difficulties. In the green tea house, there are only two of us, and the two of us are in competition, but out of the green tea house, there are many tea shops, and there are more time-honored brands. Coupled with that battle, my fourth grandfather and the head of the Wanfu are also comrades-in-arms, and they always have a bit of comradeship. ”

The middle-aged man exhaled again, "I was still playing with the children of the Wanfu at that time. We, the children, the tea farmers, all played together. In this way, after about a year or two, the tea tree has improved a little, regained its vitality, and the yield and quality have gone up. Both of us actually want to continue working together, and we have also thought about becoming a family. My parents also asked me if I had fun with the children of the Wanfu family. Is it okay to play together all the time in the future...... At that time, there was still a bit of a concept of doll kissing, and there was a little girl about my age in the Wanfu family. ”

The middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, and he said regretfully: "But the merger is not going well." Mainly the tea farmers are a little worried. I also listened to my parents later. At that time, it gradually opened up, built factories, assembly lines, and mechanized ...... The most important thing is to learn everything, and everyone has to learn, and this kind of limelight is very popular. I don't know who read the book and talked about monopoly. After coming and going, the tea farmers were afraid that the two of us would join together and occupy the green tea estate, and they would be harsh on them. Actually, we didn't do anything, and during that time, including before, we were very good to the tea farmers, and nothing happened. My fourth grandfather, as well as my parents, uncles and uncles explained a lot, and the Wanfu was also doing work, but it didn't work. The county government has sent people to do the work, but the tea farmers are getting more and more excited. ”

The middle-aged man paused, "The brawl you are talking about, in fact, was the tea farmer who came to our two families to ask for an explanation and oppose the merger. They gathered, and as they talked, their own people fought, and some of them tried to beat our two families. As soon as there are many people and their emotions are excited, they are a little out of control. Of course, it is not excluded that someone is playing tricks on it. Not everyone has a conscience and a good heart. In short, after that fight, there were casualties, these tea farmers were completely divided, and it was impossible for our two families to merge. Then there was a fire accident...... One of my cousins died in a brawl, and there was a girl on the Wanfu, an older sister I also knew, who was disfigured in the fire and later committed suicide. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head, "Because of such a thing, our two families have maintained the status quo for many years." ”
