Chapter 254, Arrangements for the Coming Year

Wang Li from the reserve was coming out with a rice pot when she saw Li Yuanshan coming over and said hello.

"You don't have enough food, you have to cook more. Li Yuanshan looked at the rice pot and said.

After speaking, he turned to a few victims and said: "You don't have to run around, it just so happens that there is a pasture in our village to clean up the thorn cages, and you will work here, including food and shelter, and wages." Of course, the place where I live is not good, and it is a warehouse for grain and pasture used to herd cattle and sheep for the winter. ”

"Really?" asked the older man as their eyes lit up as they listened.

"Nature is true. Over the years, there have been too many people who have gone out to work, and it is difficult to find people, and our ranch has not been cleaned for several years. In particular, the red thorn is very rotten! (Rotten: Describes a plant with a large number of seeds, a high germination rate, and strong adaptability. Li Yuanshan said and pointed to the top of the mountain with few trees behind him, and continued, "It's similar to this mountain, except that the cage is not so big." ”

When Li Yuanshan spoke, the people in the village also gathered one after another, Song Yu's mother took a look at it and said, "There is not enough food, I still have food left, and there are still dishes." Xiaoying, go and bring it over. Alas, this God, he has done evil!"

30,000 acres of pasture, there are a lot of people who need it, and they are looking for it in the town.

"Fortunately, a lot of part-time workers have come back now, or we wouldn't have to find a few people like last year. Yang Mingdong said.

"What you're saying is the truth, but it sounds a little wrong!" Li Yuanshan said.

Yang Mingdong said: "I know. Although the result is the same: both to accomplish our goals and to allow them to earn some money. However, the starting point is different: one is to use this opportunity to reduce costs as much as possible, which is completely self-interested, and the other is to let the people who come back from part-time jobs earn some money and achieve their goals, which is altruistic and self-interested, and a win-win situation. ”

"However, you don't have to use words to cut words, that's too complicated. Yang Mingdong said, "Just like 'benevolence', 'benevolence' has developed from being kind and loving to others to encompassing a wide range of moral concepts. Because it is too broad, there is no unified standard for how to embody and realize 'benevolence', and it still has to be based on personal thoughts and insights, with different methods and different means. As for being perfect, that's, as long as you have a benevolent heart and make a difference. ”

"Yo, you're still studying 'benevolence'!" Yang Mingyou said with a smile.

Yang Mingdong smiled proudly: "I don't just study 'benevolence', I also study self-interest and altruism. ”

"Oh? Yang Mingyou smiled, "Let's learn too." ”

Yang Mingdong stepped forward and waved his hand and said, "Hmph! I'll let you open your eyes today! ”

Seeing that several people were very cooperative, Yang Mingdong continued to pretend and said with a serious face: "Since you have a strong heart to seek advice, the old man will pass on the avenue of waiting for you today." ”

Yang Mingcai leaned back, his waist bent, his shoulders collapsed, and said, "Don't pretend, it feels like I'm back in the first and second grades, and I'm uncomfortable." ”

"Ahem! Let's talk about self-interest first. Yang Mingdong said, "Everyone has the heart of self-interest, this may be too absolute, but if the vast majority of people are self-interested, you admit this, right? Although the idea of self-interest can make production develop rapidly in a certain period of time, the heart of self-interest is too heavy, and it will eventually divide the society. I dare to assert that if humanity perishes one day, it must be because of too much self-interest. ”

"Go on. ”

"Let's talk about altruism. Altruism is helping others and getting them through difficulties. In the whole, it is to make the society // will be better. If self-interest is scissors, altruism is needlework, self-interest is saw, and altruism is the glue. ”

"Both analogies are okay. ”

"According to my research, self-interest can see tangible benefits, and it is easier to tempt people, and it is also easy for people to go to extremes and become selfish, so that society will be divided. Yang Mingdong said, "It is precisely because self-interest is easy to lead to social turmoil and cannot maintain stability and development and progress for a long time, and altruism is the opposite, so it will be advocated." However, how many people can achieve such a state of thought by completely and thoroughly altruistic, that is, 'without self-interest, but exclusively for the benefit of others', that is, the requirement that people become moral saints?"

Song Yu cooperated: "Very few, especially now, less than rare animals. ”

Therefore, such altruism can only be used as a moral benchmark, a goal that can be pursued by all. After comprehensive consideration of self-interest and altruism, there is a win-win situation, which is more universal than altruism at this stage, and is more conducive to the development of society. Yang Mingdong concluded.

"Hey! I've been doing it for a long time, but it's still a cliché. Yang Mingyou stood up and walked out, and said, "I thought you had a new insight." ”

"There's still something new. Song Yu smiled, "Those two metaphors are good." ”

"It's a good cliché, at least the brain is clear!" Li Yuanshan said with a smile.

"Although we are not small, we also grew up under the red // flag. Yang Mingdong said, "Although I am reluctant to go ahead, I will not lag behind." ”

"Then you can sum it up again. Yang Mingcai said with a smile.

Yang Mingdong said: "It is said above that we are in the primary stage of social self-interest and will be in the primary stage of righteousness for a long time, so our self-interest and altruism will also be long-term, and develop with the development of society, from selfishness greater than public heart, to public heart greater than selfishness, and then to ...... Well, if you don't have selfish intentions, let's use it as the ultimate goal!"

"Don't blow it, let's go!" Li Yuanshan said, "I still have to go up the mountain." ”

"Go up the mountain to pick up chicken firs?" Yang Mingcai said, "There have been fewer chicken fir fir in the past two days, and it is difficult to find them." ”

"It's not. Go chop down a red thorn stick. Li Yuanshan said, "Chang'an looked at Xiaohai, they have it, and they can't want it." ”

I went up the mountain and cut a red thorn that was about one meter long and about two centimeters in diameter, burned a bunch of fires and roasted it violently, and then straightened it. Peeling off the burnt skin, it is a stick with a reddish white inside.

Flattened the long thorns, and blackened the rods with black ash on their hands. Li Yuanshan took it and returned home, just as Chang'an ran back to drink water, saw the black stick in Li Yuanshan's hand, and said, "It's so ugly, I'll call Brother Xiaohai for help." ”

Li Yuanshan said with a smile: "It will be clean as soon as you wash it with water." ”

Turning on the faucet and washing it with water, Chang An took it and danced a few times, grinned, and wanted to run away with it.

Li Yuanshan said: "It's not good yet! Wait until I beat (polish) it with an abrasive cloth before it becomes smooth." ”

After Li Yuanshan dealt with it, Chang'an took it and hurriedly ran away.

There are not many people who come to the town, and all the villages know about the ranch looking for people to do work, and the disaster victims come to the ranch to work under the guidance of the villagers. With food, shelter and wages, not to mention that they can do it for a period of time, they will not give up even if they work for a day or two.

After doing it for half a month, seeing that there was not much work on the ranch, and it was time to harvest the crops, I asked the people in the town to go home first, and the rest was left to the disaster victims.

After the pasture was cleared, the victims of the disaster received 145 and 70 or 80, and left happily with their wages.

Except for the earlier batch, there are fewer victims who come later, but there are one or two from time to time. Every time someone comes to the village, they will find something to do for them, and then pay the wages, which is more grateful to the victims than directly giving them some food and a few catties of food.

By the middle of the month, the hills near the village were also cleaned up. At this time, Song Yu said: "There are so many red thorns on the mountain, in fact, it is not bad to keep them." When it blooms in spring, it looks like a mountain full of white flowers from a distance, and in autumn it is red again, which is very beautiful. ”

Yang Mingcai smiled and said: "Hehe, I can't help it? If anyone can wipe out the red thorns, then I really admire him! Don't worry, it won't take a few years to grow again." ”

"It's hard to say it's good-looking, but it's not good if you don't control it, and it's better to drive the cattle up. Yang Mingyou said, "Cows eat grass and red thorn sprouts." Even if the red thorns are controlled, the grass will not be able to grow taller, and the mountains will not be full of gray and withered grass in winter. ”

At the year-end summary meeting, there is actually nothing to summarize, that is, the profit has fallen sharply.

"So far, the impact of the financial crisis has not dissipated. The main thing is that the next direction is uncertain, and many foreign investors are bearish on the people's expectations for the currency, so they dare not invest. ”

"The fact that the country has paid such a big price to stabilize the value of the currency shows that the determination is firm, but it does not mean that it will change, and the impact of the crisis will be eliminated as soon as possible. Li Yuanshan said, "We don't care about others. Now that production has not fully recovered, we are just investing while everyone is holding back. Didn't we say before that we would invest in Internet companies? Now that there are Internet companies in China, this is our opportunity. "Over the years, technology companies have invested in a few, real estate companies have also invested in two, and now it's time to invest in Internet companies. Although each share is only a few percent because of the small amount of capital, it also diversifies the risk.

Yang Mingdong looked at the information and said with a smile: "Hehe, although this year's profits have fallen sharply, in addition to pharmaceutical companies, there are also 34 million profits. "Among them, the majority of the profits come from restaurants and furniture factories. After all, money is hard to earn, although it is the same for everyone, but rich people are not bad at entering restaurants.

"The situation will only get better and better, and the more than 30 million can be used for investment. Li Yuanshan said.

"What about the furniture factory?" Yang Mingren asked, "is it to maintain the status quo, or to recruit employees to expand production?"

"Let's leave it at the status quo for now. Li Yuanshan said.

"It's just that it's hard to sell now, or I'll sell it directly, even if it's at a low price. Yang Mingdong said.

"It's the norm to buy up or not down, how many people with so much money in their hands will take risks?" Yang Mingyou said, "It's okay to wait for the economy to recover and then make more money." When the time comes, even the lumber yard on Lao Maozi's side will be packed and sold together, and it will definitely be very popular. ”

Yang Mingren asked happily: "After the furniture factory is sold, I can come back, right? After inhaling exhaust gas over there for so many years, it's time to come back and clean up my lungs." ”

"Whether you come back or not, it's all voluntary. Yang Mingdong smiled, "If you want to make some more contributions, that's fine." ”
