Chapter 30: The Power of the Collective
At about 7:15 the next morning, Zhang Fengrui appeared at the door of Yuejin Sichuan Restaurant, and happened to meet Liu Laosi, who was carrying a basket full of vegetables and meat and a bag of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar condiments in his hand.
"What's wrong with you? His body was covered with sweat, and his hair was soaked" Zhang Fengrui helped Liu Laosi carry the basket next, and then the two of them moved the ingredients into the restaurant together, and then answered Liu Laosi's question.
"You went to Qifeng Mountain from the fourth elementary school, and then ran here from Qifeng Mountain?" Liu Laosi had an unbelievable expression on his face, if he hadn't seen beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from Zhang Fengrui's forehead, Liu Laosi would definitely think that Zhang Fengrui was bragging again.
At half past seven in middle school, he had to go to morning self-study, and Zhang Fengrui didn't have time to blow water with Liu Laosi, so he directly understood his intentions.
"You say breeding beaver rats is a scam? How can it be! Liu Laosi shook his head again and again, especially when he heard that Zhang Fengrui learned in a dream, and he scoffed at his words.
The young Zhang Fengrui found himself in a big problem. Even if he swore and swore that he was sweating profusely, it would not help. Seeing that class time was coming, Zhang Fengrui still couldn't convince Liu Laosi, so he had to leave unhappily. Before leaving, he said earnestly, "Fourth brother, you have to believe that my brother will never harm you, promise me, don't be busy paying the deposit, wait a little, I will find a reason to prove that what I said is the truth, okay"
Looking at the concern and anxiety on Zhang Fengrui's immature and handsome face, Liu Laosi was slightly moved and nodded in agreement.
In the morning reading class and the first class, Zhang Fengrui didn't pay much attention to the class, repeatedly scrutinizing and weighing the pros and cons, and wondering how to find out the flaws in the marketing of beaver rats. For this reason, he also humbly asked Shi Hongsleeve and Zhang Pingping, who were doing business at home, for advice, and then pulled them to analyze together. Of course, the two sisters who are very popular and have a wide range of friends know that naturally the whole class knows. Fortunately, whether the beaver rat marketing model is a scam has become a hot topic of discussion in the second and third classes of high school.
It just so happened that after the second class, there was no recess exercise, and a group of young people gathered around and gossiped and had different opinions, even a scumbag like Zhao Jiahong also participated in putting forward his opinions. Zhang Fengrui was busy recording the opinions of his classmates, and time flew by when he came and went, and he didn't pay attention to the class. The third session was Mr. Liu Zuwen's politics class, and he was also interested after seeing a large group of students in the classroom discussing hotly, and it was the current hot beaver rat issue in Wutu County.
"Students, Marx said that the economic base determines the superstructure. Since we are studying political economy, we need to apply what we have learned. So, let's talk about whether the beaver rat marketing model is a scam."
Teacher Liu Zuwen is of medium height, elegant appearance and graceful demeanor. It is said that when he was studying at Southwest University of Political Science and Law, he was the main leader of the student union.
He was a model of preferring to eat sauerkraut for love, gave up the opportunity to work at the Shuangmu City Court, followed his wife, and became an ordinary teacher in No. 1 Middle School.
He has a high prestige among students, not only is he an honest person, his teaching level is extremely high, but he also has a more bullish identity, the first lawyer in Wutu County. He was one of the first people to obtain a lawyer's license since the country's reform, and he has won several high-impact lawsuits.
The classroom applauded thunderously, and everyone cheered for Mr. Liu's compliance with the public opinion. Under the arrangement and organization of Mr. Liu, the students were divided into two sides and began to debate.
On that day, until noon, the students in the second and third classes of high school were still unsatisfied with the debate in the politics class, and the class leader Hu Xiaofeng proposed whether to organize a debate competition in the second year of high school, which received an enthusiastic response from the students present.
Then everyone discussed the candidates for the third class of the competition, and Zhang Pingping did not avoid relatives and enthusiastically nominated Zhang Fengrui. Her reason is that this kid has a clear mind and a wide range of knowledge, and his Mandarin is okay. At this time, everyone noticed that Zhang Fengrui had already slipped away and was not at the scene.
Jumping into the Sichuan restaurant, the business was deserted at noon, and there were few diners. Zhang Fengrui, Ye Qingquan and Liu Laosi sat opposite each other, and after reading the discussion draft brought by Zhang Fengrui, Liu Laosi was silent for a long time, obviously the psychological defense line had been shaken. Zhang Fengrui decided to work harder, and others spoke softly, so he naturally wanted to pull up the tiger skin as a banner.
"Originally, our teacher Liu was going to come and tell you in person, but he was busy making lunch for the mother-in-law, so he's going to do it."
"Who are you Teacher Liu?"
"Hey, Wutu Tiezui Liu Zuwen," Ye Qingquan interjected next to him
"Ah, my door!" Liu Laosi hurriedly asked, "What did Lawyer Liu say?" ”
"No, Mr. Liu said, he completely agrees with the results of our discussion," Zhang Fengrui took the discussion draft from Liu Laosi's hand and said
"Fourth brother, according to everyone's inference, the beaver rat company advertises that the beaver rat company has a broad market and is exported abroad in large quantities. We've heard of mink coats and fox fur coats before, but we've never heard of beaver rat fur coats, at least so far there is no confirmation, this is one of them."
Zhang Fengrui raised two fingers, and then said, "Second, how does the beaver rat company ensure that the repurchase funds are sufficient, fourth brother, imagine that if the farmers work hard to raise the beaver rats, and then suddenly find that the marketing point has no funds to repurchase, or even disappear overnight, what should I do?" ”
"Third, and most importantly," Zhang Fengrui raised his third finger as if an OK gesture, "Our teacher Liu pointed out a core problem, and it is also the evidence that exposes his fraudulent behavior."
Facing Liu Laosi's eager gaze, Zhang Fengrui did not sell the guanzi and gave the answer, "That is, the profit they promised is too high!" Think about it, in just three months, the profit is more than 100%, what is the difference between this and picking up money? Fourth brother, think about it, since it is so easy to make money, why doesn't he raise it himself, run a few farms, and recruit some employees, wouldn't he make a lot of money......"
Liu Laosi nodded slightly, almost convinced. He asked the last question: "So, how do you verify that the Beaver Mouse Company is a lie?" After all, these are just inferences."
"It's very simple, check it on the spot," Zhang Fengrui spread his hands and smiled, "Didn't they say that their company is a one-stop shop for breeding, processing and exporting, it's better to see than to hear, it just so happens that the company's headquarters is in the adjacent Baishui City, it's really difficult to decide, fourth brother, you will go to it yourself."
Liu Laosi nodded, gave Zhang Fengrui a thumbs up, and said in appreciation, "Xiao Rui, you are so smart!" Brother wants to thank you, it's really heartfelt! ”
Zhang Fengrui smiled disappreciatively, "Hey, fourth brother, don't praise me, this is collective wisdom, not my credit alone!" As the saying goes, three stinkers are the top of Zhuge Liang, hehe. ”
Zhang Fengrui was serious and sincere, "Don't say that the fourth brother, you are like my own brother, even if you are a stranger, you have to help." Just like my master said, where the Tao is, where righteousness exists, it is necessary to go to the soup and go to the fire."
Liu Laosi asked, "Who is your master?" Where did you come from, Master? ”
Because Feng Cicada told Zhang Fengrui to keep a low profile, except for his mother and sister, he has never publicized this time to anyone. However, there is nothing to hide from Liu Laosi and Ye Qingquan, Zhang Fengrui truthfully reported the name of the cicada, and the result was embarrassing.
"Bragging again, hey, Xiao Rui, can you talk well!" Not to mention Ye Qingquan, the adult Liu Laosi also despised Zhang Fengrui.
What kind of character is the wind cicada, in Wutu, he is like a fairy-like character, can he take this kid as an apprentice? In addition, Zhang Fengrui's family only moved to Sixiao after his father died six years ago. Around the four elementary schools, except for Han Weidong's family, who are more closely related to adults, others do not know that Feng Cicada and Zhang Fengrui's dead ghost father are like brothers. Coupled with the fame of Zhang Fengrui's old blow machine, it is really hard to believe it.
To tell the truth, I was questioned by my friends, and it was a double portion! After all, Zhang Fengrui can't bear it anymore. Seeing that there was no one in the store at the moment, he ran over to close the door, locked it, and then came back and said to the two of them angrily, "Stare at your dog's eyes, don't blink."
Then it's time to witness the miracle. To say that at the beginning of the year, Liu Laosi and Ye Qingquan saw Zhang Fengrui compare their hands and feet, and then the peanuts left over from the guests at the previous table miraculously flew up in circles in the air, and then fell back on the plate, the two thought he was playing magic, and after they witnessed Zhang Fengrui easily pinching two stainless steel wine glasses, the duo finally believed the fact that the old blow machine they had always thought had really become a master.
Liu Laosi, who was excited, cooked and fried a few side dishes, and when eating, he vigorously served Zhang Fengrui with vegetables. If it weren't for the fact that the two students still had classes in the afternoon and Zhang Fengrui really couldn't drink, it was estimated that they would have to celebrate with two whole glasses.
"Xiao Rui, brother don't step on this pit if you listen to you, or run this small restaurant with peace of mind, although you can't make a fortune, but it's better to be stable" Liu Laosi held Zhang Fengrui's hand and sighed, but he was disgusted
"Mom, fourth brother, you don't want eight taels of peppercorns and two taels of meat, the meat is numb, what are your brothers polite?"
After lunch and chatting for a while, Zhang Ye and the others returned to school. It is only two or three hundred meters from Liu Laosi's small restaurant to the school, and it takes a lot of effort to get there.
Ye Qingquan saw Zhang Feng's sharp eyebrows dancing and was in a happy mood, and asked him why he was so happy. Zhang Fengrui thought about it for a while, and said seriously, "Lei Zi said: Helping others is the foundation of happiness!" Mencius said: The old and the old, the young and the young! Zhang Zi said: It is our duty to maintain world peace, prosperity, and people's happiness! Well, that's why I'm happy."
Ye Qingquan scratched his head and asked, "Who is Zhang Zi?" ”
Zhang Fengrui pointed his right thumb at himself and smiled silently. Ye Qingquan responded to him with a big middle finger, and was very speechless to his brazen friend.
