131. Ask whose wine is in the cup

Wang Bobei: "Yes, there were three people before the Sheikh priest arrived, and the murderer must have been among the other two." [No pop-up novel network]"

Bai Shaoliu: "Haint died of a sword wound and was pierced through the chest by a sword, and the murderer was probably the young man with the sword." But what is another person doing up the mountain?"

Wang Bobei: "The guy with the sword should be a cultivator, but there are so many disciples in the world's cultivation sects, and I can't see them all, so I don't know who he is." As for the other man, I only saw the back, his head was golden and curly, probably a foreigner from the West. ”

Bai Shaoliu: "Can you recognize it just by seeing the back?"

Wang Bobei nodded: "As long as you see that back again, you may recognize it." ”

Bai Shaoliu: "Since it may be a foreigner, could it be sent by the Holy See?"

Wang Bobei frowned and said: "I'm just wondering now, what did he do when he went up the mountain, if he said he was helping Haiente, why did he leave in a hurry after Haiente's death?...... I haven't figured it out until now, and I've been in the police station for a few days, and I haven't overheard any clues. ”

Bai Shaoliu picked up the cup and said: "The situation that Wang Daoyou saw is too important, I will give you a glass first, and I will do it first." ”

Wang Bobei also raised his glass and drank it all: "You don't have to toast me, these are all things I should do." ”

Bai Shaoliu poured another glass of wine and said: "Lao Wang, don't talk yet, my wine hasn't finished yet, and I haven't finished speaking, this is the second glass." And then he did it again.

Wang Bobei: "Why do you toast me again?"

Bai Shaoliu: "It's ridiculous that I thought I had some means, but I have been kept in the dark for so long. It turns out that Wang Daoyou has been secretly protecting me, and I am ashamed to learn it today. ...... Don't drink, I'm punishing myself...... There is also a third cup, and I will do it first as a respect. ”

Xiao Bai drank three glasses of wine in a row, and Wang Bo saw that Xiao Bai's expression was a little strange, and asked puzzledly, "Brother Bai." What's the point of this third wine?"

Bai Shaoliu put down the cup and said: "Wang Daoyou has always been a high-ranking person and has not shown up, why did he suddenly come to me today and tell me all this frankly, it won't be because I fished you out of the police station, right?"

Wang Bobei's face showed a look of shame, I don't know if it was because of wine or other reasons, his face turned red, Bai Shaoliu said again at this time: "I am very grateful to you, I am really grateful, so don't misunderstand what you want to say now, I just want to say it - in addition to protecting me." You've been spying on me, haven't you?"

Wang Bobei was very embarrassed, picked up the cup and said: "Brother Bai is really transparent, although I didn't say it explicitly, but you also guessed, yes, I was ordered by the master to monitor your every move." As for why you should ask my master, I don't know very well, but I have heard him mention that he has a scheming and vicious mind that almost brought disaster to the world's masters by your side, and he is afraid that you will accidentally fall into this person's evil help. I also asked Master who the master was, but Master didn't answer with an angry face. ...... I think there is another reason, probably because he cares about the little sister Qingchen. I'm afraid that she will make friends with non-people. ”

Hearing this, a donkey with white hair on his ears instinctively appeared in Xiaobai's mind, he knew who Yu Cangwu was worried about, it seemed that Yu Cangwu also knew that Qiye was by Xiaobai's side back then, and Xiaobai was not completely at ease with receiving Bai Mao's guidance. Xiaobai was not angry, but he felt a little depressed in his heart, and he was watched for so long before he appeared. Or the other party took the initiative to stand up. The Tattered King should have been kind to him, but what if he was malicious?

After listening to Wang Bo's ragged explanation, Xiaobai asked again: "Then why did you take the initiative to come to me today to tell me all this?"

Wang Bobei sighed: "There are two reasons. The first reason is that the death of Heynt is a big deal, so I have to come to you to discuss, and you should be more capable of doing things in Uyu. ...... There is another reason, I have been by your side for so long, and now you are indeed a person with a pure heart, and there is nothing to worry about. If you're going to help even a stranger who picks up rags, what am I going to spy on you in the dark? I think his old man should think the same way I do. ”

Bai Shaoliu also sighed: "Fortunately with you, otherwise Haiente's death is really unsolved." It's troublesome, it's troublesome. ”

At this moment, a person walked in from the gate of the hot pot restaurant, and Lao Yuan greeted: "Xiaobai, you are really here, going out for a drink with your friends?

Xiaobai stood up: "Mr. Luo, how did you find here?"

Luo Shuihan: "I went to your house to look for you, I heard that you were drinking here, so I came." ...... I didn't have lunch either, so I wouldn't mind adding a pair of chopsticks, would I?"

Wang Bobei also stood up: "Are you-Luo Shuihan, please take a seat, hahaha, I can even invite you to dinner!"

Luo Shuihan sat down, and naturally beckoned Bai Shaoliu and Wang Bobei to sit down as well. The waiter added a set of tableware, and Luo Shuihan asked Wang Bobei: "Do you know me......?"

Wang Bobei: "Let me introduce myself, I am a friend of Xiaobai, named Wang Bobei, nicknamed the King of Tatters, engaged in urban environmental cleanup and material recycling in Wuyou, to put it simply, he is a rag, but the piece of Luoyuan is not under my control." ”

Luo Shuihan turned his head to look at Xiaobai: "You have a lot of friends!"

Bai Shaoliu is still a little surprised, how could Luo Shuihan come to him alone, and he appeared in such a hot pot restaurant? Sensing his emotions, Luo Shuihan came to chat with him, just like he wanted to say something but was thinking about how to say it, Xiaobai looked at the hot pot in front of him and said, "Mr. Luo has something to do with me? If you want to eat, let's change places?"

Luo Shuihan shook his head: "No need to change, it's very good here, it's been a long time since I've had a hot pot in such a lively place." When I was your age, I thought about money all the time, and I always felt that I had no money, and eating such a hot pot was already a luxury. ...... Now I have everything, and I see you sitting here today. Suddenly, I felt like I had found the same feeling again. ”

Wang Bobei: "What do you feel? No time and no money?"

Luo Shuihan didn't speak, and Xiaobai replied: "It's the feeling of drooling when you look at the hot pot." ”

Luo Shuihan smiled: "That's how it feels...... I haven't drunk this kind of simple beer for five cents a bottle, and I want to find a small restaurant to take a big sip of beer after a tired day, it tastes so ......" he didn't finish yet. Wang Bobei and Xiaobai both grinned, and Luo Shuihan asked, "What are you laughing at? Don't believe what I said?"

Wang Bobei: "Believe it! It seems that Mr. Luo has not been to such a restaurant for a long time, and this kind of beer is now sold for three yuan a bottle." ”

Luo Shuihan slapped his forehead: "Oh, it seems that it has been a long time!"

Wang Bobei asked curiously: "Mr. Luo is a businessman, even if he doesn't consume things, he should always understand market changes, right?"

Luo Shuihan: "I'm not in the beer business. ”

Wang Bobei: "If you don't know anything about the beer market if you don't do beer business, you won't be Luo Shuihan." ”

Luo Shuihan smiled slightly: "Who said I don't understand the beer market? But the way I understand it is different from the way you understand it, so you are the king of rags, I am Luo Shuihan." ...... Xiaobai, I wanted to say something to you, but I didn't know how to say it. When I saw this beer, I finally knew. ”

Bai Shaoliu asked puzzledly: "What is Mr. Luo looking for me, and what does it have to do with beer?"

Luo Shuihan's expression was a little mysterious: "Don't worry, you'll know in a while." ...... Xiao Wang, do you want to know how my understanding of the beer market is different from yours? This is a business experience, and you can't learn it in vain. ”

Wang Bobei spread his hands: "Does Mr. Luo want to charge tuition? It's a pity that I am just a person who picks up rags, the poorest person in Wuyou." ”

Luo Shuihan smiled: "Just now you said that this meal was your treat, don't you mind if I order more?"

Wang Bobei: "I still invited this, Mr. Luo just ordered, this restaurant is not too expensive." ”

Luo Shuihan: "You don't need to add dishes, just enough beer." ...... Waiter. Come here, this table still needs beer. ...... How many beers do you have here? Hardcover, just a bottle of plain local beer. ”

A large chain hot pot restaurant like Dawangfu is rich in other things. The light beers available in the local market are usually the most complete. The waiter had never seen a guest like Luo Shuihan ordering wine, and it was strange but he still brought beer as he requested. There were more than a dozen bottles in total, each one different, and the table was almost full.

Xiaobai and Wang Bobei had just finished finishing their important words, Luo Shuihan suddenly came to disturb, and the two stopped talking about the matter of the cultivator and the Western Holy See, but Luo Shuihan talked about beer, and came to such a strange scene. The two of them were puzzled, and both looked at the table of beer with questioning eyes. Waiting for the waiter to put the wine together, Luo Shuihan pointed to the beer on the table and asked, "Count." How many beers are there? Not how many bottles, but how many brands?"

There were more than a dozen bottles of beer on the table. However, some brands have several varieties, such as cool, pure draft, dry beer, etc., and there are a total of six brands of more than a dozen bottles of beer, namely: Black Dragon Beer, Triumph Beer, Huafeng Beer, Snow Stick Beer, Wuyou Beer, and Changsheng Island Beer. Wang Bobei is also in the beer business - picking beer bottles, so he can point it out at a glance.

Luo Shuihan said again: "Actually, they are all produced by the same group. ”

Wang Bobei: "No, I've been picking beer bottles for ten years, and there are four old brands of beer in them, which were available ten years ago, and 'Black Dragon' and 'Triumph' came later." 'Changsheng Island' is an old brand of Uyu, I heard that it has a history of several decades, and it was once very famous, and it is definitely not the same factory as 'Uyu Beer'. ”

Luo Shuihan: "Almost all the people sitting here drinking think the same as you, but it was precisely ten years ago that an overseas group entered the Wuyou market, and with the help of all aspects, gradually merged with local beer production enterprises, until last year it completely ate the market. ...... Believe it or not, take a closer look at the label on the bottle. ”

Bai Shaoliu picked up a bottle of beer, only to see that the bottom of the sign was written - "Wuyou Changsheng Island Beer Co., Ltd., Qingrun Beer (Zhixu) Co., Ltd. supervised", and picked up another bottle, which said "Wuyou Qingrun Beer Co., Ltd., Good Hope is not produced by Qingrun Group (Xiangjiang) Co., Ltd." Pick up another bottle with the words "Qingrun Huafeng Beer Wuyou Co., Ltd." written on it. After reading all the beers. There is a company called "Qingrun" that is related to it, which is either a joint venture or directly or indirectly controlled.

Wang Bobei: "I know Qingrun Company, I originally thought that only the two beers of Black Dragon and Kaixuan were from their family, but I didn't expect them to be all, I really didn't pay attention to these before." ”

Luo Shuihan: "It wasn't like this before, it took them nearly ten years. It wasn't all done until last year, and most people were unaware of it, and it was a planned and step-by-step embezzlement operation. Since you know about Qingrun Company, how much do you know about it?"

Wang Bobei shook his head: "I don't understand, I just know the name." ”

Luo Shuihan introduced the origin of this company.

The headquarters of Qingrun Group is located in Good Wangfei, the southernmost country of Heiyuan Da 6, and the colony of the former Western Geely Kingdom. But the company's local investors, that is, the actual controllers, are all from the Mountain Demon Country and the Geely Kingdom, and its business is all over the world, and now it is mainly concentrated in the Zhizhi Country. Especially in the Uyu region. Originally, it was just a beer production company, and the combined production scale was less than half of the beer market in the northeastern region of Zhixu, but it was much larger than many breweries in the area, because the market in Zhixuguo was too large.

A few decades ago, the country reformed its economic policy and gradually liberalized the commodity circulation market, and industrial exhibitions in various places were once prosperous. After more than 10 years of high exhibition, it has entered the stage of relative market saturation competition. Many enterprises have begun to fall into difficulties because of the backwardness of technology, technology, management and system, as well as the lack of support from capital and research. So Zhixu decided to open up the industrial market and encourage foreign investment. Bringing in the necessary technology, management know-how and capital, and at the same time hoping to continue to stimulate the economy in this way.

The plan came out very well and achieved great results, but as time went on, things took a turn for the worse. The means themselves have replaced the ends, and the mere growth of numbers has become the only goal to be pursued. This process also comes at a great cost. There are two main points:

First, because the early exhibition of Zhixu only paid attention to the prosperity of the commodity market, but neglected the exhibition and protection of the basic equipment manufacturing industry in the production area. The introduction of capital and technology, the implementation of the specific link is often the introduction of advanced production line joint venture and direct investment, but the production of this kind of production line technology is not introduced, no one will create competitors for themselves, even if they learn to manage it can not stand on its own. In this way, the original basic equipment manufacturing industry in Zhixu country is in a comprehensive predicament, a large number of enterprises have closed down, and many workers have lost their jobs.

Second, while acknowledging the importance of science, technology, and knowledge and experience, we have never really paid attention to the two pillars of "intellectual property" and "national education" that have nurtured all these growths. Setting up a stall on the side of the road may be caught. In an environment where the market for a piece of software is full of piracy but cannot be controlled, and in a situation where research and publishing are very sluggish, but it is difficult to stop a work from being hot-linked on the Internet, the legitimate value of wisdom and knowledge is often even flouted. It may not seem serious or even have short-term benefits, but it means a gradual moral crisis for the whole nation, a large number of high-end talents have left overseas, and speculators have come one after another. -- This is a software error.

These two major mistakes are of an overall and historical nature, some of which are unavoidable and some are man-made, and it is difficult for a single enterprise or a place to change independently. It is in this context that Qingrun Group entered the Uyo beer market ten years ago, and obtained control of the original Binhai Brewery with an investment in a production line, and enjoyed the relaxed environment and preferential policies that other enterprises could not enjoy, and developed quickly. Several other breweries in Wuyou gradually fell at a disadvantage in the competition, and there were several market battles in which they won and lost each other, but in the end, the background and strength were not as good as Qingrun Group.

Originally, Wuyou Market could accommodate these beer companies, and other breweries could survive despite being at a disadvantage, but Qingrun Group was reluctant to do so, and the local policies at that time also helped Qingrun Group a lot. Local policies encouraged Qingrun Group to acquire local enterprises, and some people even stepped forward to remove the obstacles to market acquisitions, making monopolistic acquisitions, which should have been strongly resisted in the market, logical and well-received, because all this was shown to be a political achievement in attracting foreign investment.

Qingrun Group continues to expand to the surrounding areas based on Uyu. Although the local market has not been affected by Qingrun Group's products, local beer companies in many cities in the northeast of Zhixu have been acquired by Qingrun Group, and these acquisitions are encouraged with preferential conditions. In the end, Qingrun Group has occupied most of the beer market in Wuyou area, and some of the remaining local beer companies have surrendered without a fight, and even some local officials have taken the initiative to contact them, hoping that Qingrun Group will acquire local beer companies, thinking that it is an advanced fashion.

In this way, in less than 10 years, Qingrun Group completely occupied the beer market in Wuyou and the surrounding areas, and there was not a single brewery left, and all the breweries were controlled by it! The headquarters of Qingrun Group in Haowangfei was also transformed from a beer production enterprise to an industrial investment holding group, and its scale and profits were dozens of times larger than that at the beginning. ――That's all for Luo Shuihan's introduction.
