"Hurry up, I'm still fighting with you Lao Tzu haha?" He Qichang said as he threw a bottle of mineral water over to his son, "Drink some water, don't choke." Twenty minutes on the road, enough for you to speak slowly. ”

"Hmm......" He Huanyu took the mineral water, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured a slow breath, and then slowly spoke: "Actually, do you remember that there was a director surnamed Xie at the station who called you at that time?" It was on the train at that time......"

Saying that, He Huanyu told He Qichang about the K242 incident and the fact that a female reporter happened to be present at that time.

"It's also thanks to Sister Ye Lan's presence that I came out so quickly." He Huanyu sighed and said.

"No, if that Xie Dayan knew your grandfather, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to." He Qichang shook his head and said, it seems that his son is still a little "simple".

"No, no, no, half and half." He Huanyu didn't dare to agree, "Although Director Xie has sold your face, in the final analysis, it is not because of me." I have a reason and a basis for him to be happy to sell such a favor, otherwise people would not necessarily show such a gesture. ”

"Well, that's true." He Qichang, who was driving the car, couldn't help but turn his head to look at his son, and couldn't see that his son had really grown up.

"Look at the road, look at the road! There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first. The driving is not standardized, and the relatives are in tears. He Huanyu saw that his father always turned his head to speak, and said angrily, "Also, the seat belt should also be fastened well, you just don't think about yourself, but also think about Xiao Xiangyan." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll drive safely." He Qichang felt his son's concern, and couldn't help but pull over with some joy, and then fasten his seat belt before restarting, but he deliberately said disapprehantly, "This is going down, right?" I'm an old driver......"

He Huanyu was too lazy to say anything about this, after all, there was no one in the entire He family who could avoid vulgarity in such a thing.

Including himself and his grandfather He Zhengdong.

"Then you haven't said how you know that reporter so well." He Qichang reacted at this time, why was this matter fooled again?

"Ouch, you have so much curiosity about driving." He Huanyu didn't have a good breath and said, "You drive carefully, I squinted for a while, and then called me." ”

Saying that, He Huanyu closed his eyes, he was not purely making excuses.

After all, I slept late last night, got up so early today, and I didn't sleep well a few days ago, if it weren't for the fact that this body was young enough to bear it, I wouldn't have been able to stand it a long time ago.

Seeing this, He Qichang could only drive well, but while reducing the speed slightly to make the vehicle drive more smoothly, he made up his mind that he had to find a time to ask.

About half an hour later, He Qichang finally drove his broken pickup truck to his moon cake factory, Qiyue Food Co., Ltd.

And Ye Lan, who was chatting and understanding the situation accompanied by the supervisor of the factory, knew that He Huanyu was coming, so he would have already looked through his record book and was waiting in He Qichang's office.

After all, she hadn't seen He Huanyu, a smart and "cute" "little brother", for a long time, and she missed it a little tightly.

Ye Lan took a turn in the factory and already understood the situation almost well, to her surprise, He Qichang's reputation among these employees in the factory was surprisingly good.

"Boss He is a very good person, in fact, the time when the moon cake factory really has work is a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival. This month, I have to work overtime, and I usually have nothing to do, just daily maintenance of the machine, but he has not lost a penny from us. "I was talking to Ye Lan before about an old operator working on the assembly line in the factory, and he has been working here since the moon cake factory was first established in 2000.

"What, girl, you ask us who is the director? That's a good guy, I was a kid with polio, and my left leg was a little lame since I was a child. Plus I'm a little older, and I can't find anything to do anywhere. Director He saw me pitiful and gave me a job of guarding the gate. ”

He patted his sick leg, which had been lame for many years, with tears in his eyes, "Actually, this place is very remote, and dogs don't usually come, where do you need people like me to see the gate?" I know that Director He saw that my life was not easy, so he took pity on me to let me, a lonely old man, live in the factory in such a name. ”

Reflecting on the words of these people in her head, Ye Lan couldn't help but ask the main channel who was accompanying her, "I found that many people in the factory have a good impression of your boss He, tell me what kind of person you have in your impression, what kind of person is Director He?" It's okay, just let's talk casually, I won't tell anyone that you said it. ”

"To be honest, big reporter, I think our factory director is a bit stupid, but it's so stupid that people can't get annoying." The director thought for a while, organized the wording for a while, and said, "You also know that mooncake factories like ours basically eat for a year in the month around the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to other factories, they will definitely not have so many employees, it is nothing more than asking temporary workers to work overtime at a high price before the holiday, and in fact, the expenses will be much smaller.

"But our factory director He did not agree to do this, especially in the past few years, he said that the current environment is not good, it is difficult for others to find jobs, and our factory can afford to raise a few more people, and it is okay to earn a little less." Saying that, the supervisor was a little "indignant" but full of admiration and said, "Look, this is what our director He said." To put it mildly, he is not a national leader, what does it matter to him that others can't find a job? If he changes someone else's factory manager, he can't find a job, so he can earn more by lowering his salary. ”

As she spoke, Ye Lan couldn't tell whether the supervisor was scolding He Qichang for being stupid or praising He Qichang for being a good person.

If it is more than ten years later, maybe Ye Lan will know a hot word on the Internet called "Versailles".

"Also, once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over every year, although it is not the peak season for moon cakes, but the price is reduced and reduced, so many moon cakes can still be sold for a lot of money. But our factory director didn't do this, he asked the employees in the factory to take a part of it for themselves and their relatives and friends, and the rest of the part was specially organized to send it to the nearby nursing homes and orphanages, as well as some lonely elderly people and left-behind children. ”

No matter what Ye Lan was thinking there, the supervisor's mouth still didn't stop, and he was still chattering and "complaining", "In the past few years, Director He has basically taken the lead every year, and this year was supposed to be, but when he was halfway through, he seemed to have heard that something happened to his son, so he hurriedly handed over this job to me to do, I only took a break today, and tomorrow the batch of moon cakes will be sent to the nursing home at the Chongyang Building at the South Gate." ”

As he spoke, the supervisor pointed to the neatly stacked mooncakes in the corner of the office.

Those mooncakes look unpretentious, without so many bells and whistles packaging, they are simple transparent small boxes, which look far less atmospheric than those sold in the market.

"Doesn't it look broken? Doesn't it feel like a good thing? The director noticed Ye Lan's expression and said, "This is what our factory director specially explained, deliberately not to use too good packaging boxes." lest those old people think that things are too expensive, and they are embarrassed to hold them. Actually......"

Speaking of which, the director thought for a moment and stopped talking.

"In fact, moon cakes are all the same moon cakes, expensive is just expensive in the packaging and additional small gifts, right?" Ye Lan took over the conversation and said.

The director didn't speak, but he didn't say anything to refute it, which was a tacit acquiescence.

In fact, moon cakes are not used as a holiday food in many cases, and their larger function has become an excuse for gift-givers and bribes.

Only the high-end and high-grade packaging, coupled with the "gold bricks", "pearls" and even "lentil filling moon cakes" in the packaging (from the movie "Private Custom", if you are interested, you can go and see it), are those people's favorites.

And this is also the fundamental reason for the repeated prohibition of sky-high moon cakes.

When an item is detached from its own use value and given a new value, it is likely that the price will soar.

Because such things are often inseparable from the mastermind behind the "hype".

"Stir up" the price, and then let the "wronged big head" take over and "cut leeks" one by one.

Everyone understands the truth, but there are always people who follow one after another, I don't know if they are lucky, or if they feel that they are smarter than others and will not become a "leek", but become the "sickle" that "cuts leeks".

Ye Lan was still thinking nonsense in her head, and here He Qichang had already taken He Huanyu into the office.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, reporter Ye." It was He Qichang who said this.

"Sister Ye Lan, why are you here?" Naturally, it was He Huanyu who asked this.

"It's okay, I'm just thinking about something anyway." Ye Lan waved her hand at He Qichang to show that she didn't care, and then smiled and reached out to touch He Huanyu's head, "Come here on a business trip, I haven't seen you for a while, you seem to have grown taller." ”

"Really?" He Huanyu said with a smile, "I don't know, I didn't pay attention." ”

In fact, He Huanyu also grew taller from high school back then, jumping from 1.55 meters or 1.58 meters to 1.7 meters.

Although this height is not short in the late 80s and early 90s and in the Jiangnan area, He Huanyu has always been a little dissatisfied.

It's a pity that dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but then it didn't grow taller.

First, it is because he has not eaten well, and secondly, it may be related to the gradual depression or even distortion of his personality.

"By the way, Sister Ye Lan, you said that you were on a business trip, why did you come to my father's moon cake factory?" He Huanyu asked a little strangely, "Is there anything wrong with the moon cake factory?" I asked my dad and my dad said that he never cut corners, he can vouch with his head, and there can be no problem with the quality. ”

"It's not a product quality issue." Ye Lan smiled, she knew that He Huanyu was not an ordinary child, so she didn't shy away from him when she spoke.

However, Ye Lan looked at He Qichang and said, "Director He, the country has officially implemented the "Mandatory National Standards for Moon Cakes" since June 1 this year, and has imposed relevant restrictions on the packaging and pricing of moon cakes, do you know about this?" ”

"Ahem, I really don't know about this." He Qichang shook his head, "And the high-end mooncakes we have here are basically privately ordered by others, not made by ourselves." ”

"I know that, too. And after all, the document was only issued in June this year, and it does take time to convey it to this small place in Suzuyama. Ye Lan nodded, "This time I came here mainly because someone sent a report letter to our newspaper. ”

"Report letter? Who is it? Do you report anonymously? He Huanyu asked curiously.

"No, real-name reporting. We will also accept anonymous reports, but they certainly don't have that high priority. Ye Lan shook her head, whispered close to He Huanyu's ear, "This originally needed to be kept secret, I told you quietly, don't make a noise." The whistleblower is now the director of the Hongcheng Cultural Bureau, and was previously the former director of the Hongcheng Section Railway Public Security Department, and Zhou Huaqiu, the father of Zhou Jie, the former "K242 incident" and "Zhou Gongzi". ”

"Is that him? He's already standing aside, and he's still going to make trouble? He Huanyu was a little speechless.

"Who knows? Maybe you're unwilling, right? Ye Lan pursed her lips, "This matter is actually not a big problem, at most it is actually a fine." It is estimated that people are fighting the idea that toads don't bite people and disgust people. ”

"By the way, Reporter Ye, you said before that it was only implemented on June 1, but many of our orders were placed in advance at the beginning of the year, and the contract was signed." He Qichang seemed to remember something, took out a stack of documents in the locked drawer of his desk, flipped through them carefully, and found a few special contracts, flipped them to the signing time and pointed them out to Ye Lan.

"Can I take a photograph of it?" Ye Lan made a request that was a bit excessive, but not too excessive.

"Well, isn't it?" He Qichang was a little hesitant.

"Yes, but don't photograph the contract." He Huanyu spoke at this time, "Party B Qiyue Food Co., Ltd., the content of the terms and the time of signing can be photographed as evidence." As long as Party A's information is not disclosed. ”

"This is also oh, and it can also be used as proof that I am not deliberately violating the rules." He Qichang's eyes also lit up, and then his eyes darkened again, "It's just that it will be difficult next year." ”

"Isn't there a meat muffin?" He Huanyu opened his mouth and said, "Did you get the production line for the meat muffins you told you about before?" ”

"Meat muffins? What meat muffins? Ye Lan, who was taking pictures with a camera on the side, asked curiously.

"Oh, here's a little snack I'm going to get my dad to make." He Huanyu gestured with his hand and explained to Ye Lan with a smile, "It's about the same size as moon cakes, but there is only one in a pack, it is the kind of independent small package, and the taste is salty and fresh." ”

As he spoke, he looked at He Qichang again, "Dad, have you got the production line?" Is there a pilot production? ”

"Yes, I was planning it the last time you said it." He Qichang nodded, "I took a special look when I came back yesterday, and now I am still debugging, but I can already start production." ”

"Get some samples for Sister Ye Lan to taste, and by the way, let her help advertise."

"Advertising? I'm not in charge of advertising. Ye Lan hurriedly reminded him.

"Gee, it's not really that kind of marketing ad. It's an advertorial, an advertorial. He Huanyu smiled, "Sister Ye Lan, didn't you receive a report this time to interview and investigate?" Isn't this a good way to mention that Qiyue Food Company vigorously cooperated with national regulation and control and transformed into making meat muffins? ”
