When Han Chunlei and Li Heping returned to the private room, it was already ten minutes later.

As soon as Han Chunlei took his seat, Zhang Xilu gently kicked him with his foot under the table.

Zhang Xilu took advantage of the gap between Ah Xiong's toasts and chats with Li Heping, leaned over his face and asked Han Chunlei in a low voice, "How is the matter of sand and gravel?"

Zhang Xilu is not stupid, Han Chunlei followed Li Heping out of the private room, and was delayed outside for more than ten minutes, how could it be so simple as shhhhhhhh If you pee for about ten minutes, the bladder must not burst?

Han Chunlei snorted and smiled, "Half and half!"

"What do you mean by half and half?" Zhang Xilu was very puzzled, the achievement is a success, and the failure is not a failure. If it doesn't work, his intermediary fee will be useless, and this trip will be a toss-up.

Han Chunlei was just about to explain, when suddenly Ah Qiang stood up and walked over, poured a glass of wine for Han Chunlei, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Chunlei, come, Brother Qiang toasts you! We can enter the Shangtang Bamboo Factory tomorrow, thanks to you for introducing Accountant Li to us!"

Well?

Li Heping promised to take them into the factory tomorrow to visit?

As soon as Han Chunlei turned around to look at Li Heping, he was fighting wine with Ah Xiong, and the wine dispenser had bottomed out, obviously three or two were in his stomach. Looks like it drank pretty well.

Ah Xiong also raised his glass with a smile at this time, "Come, Ah Qiang, you respect Brother Chunlei, I will sponsor one." ”

Li Heping looked at Han Chunlei with a smile and a word, he was very satisfied with today's meal, the food was good, the fish was good, and the wine was even better! This seventeen or eighteen-year-old half-grown child was able to save up such a sumptuous meal without spending a dime, so that the owner who paid for it was willing not to say anything, and he was stunned that he owed a favor.

This young man's brain is too active.

Li Heping got up and patted Han Chunlei on the shoulder, and said, "Chunlei, you have to drink this glass of wine, the people you introduced by Han Chunlei, I will bring them into the factory to visit." ”

This is for Han Chunlei, and even more so for Ah Xiong and the others, obviously to give this favor to Han Chunlei.

Han Chunlei can hear it? How could Ah Xiong not hear it?

Immediately, Ah Xiong filled his cup with wine and said, "Yes, what Accountant Li said is that I will not sponsor this either, so I will respect you with Ah Qiang!"

"Yes, we respect you!" said Cuong.

Han Chunlei smiled, looked at Accountant Li gratefully, and raised his glass.

Ding Ding Ding ~~

The three of them touched each other and toasted.

The things to be done have been settled, and the atmosphere at the wine table naturally rose a little higher, and soon a bottle of Yanghe Daqu bottomed out, and Ah Xiong beckoned the waiter to serve wine and food.

Han Chunlei is okay, more reserved. Zhang Xilu is different, when has he eaten such sumptuous wine and food, and when has he drunk Yanghe Daqu so happily? Now he is really fucking caught up with the starving ghost reincarnated, eating with his belly open, and drinking with his throat open.

This kind of cheap is too cheap to have this shop in this village, how can you stop if you don't eat until you have a stomach and don't drink until you have diabetes insipidus?

Drinking, eating, and bragging all the time...... It didn't end until one o'clock in the morning.

Han Chunlei and Ah Xiong were slightly drunk, Ah Qiang drank too much, and Zhang Xilu was broken.

......

......

The next day, Han Chunlei got up early and sent away the two brothers.

The two of them visited the bamboo factory today, and Li Heping arranged a dormitory for them to live in the bamboo factory.

Before leaving, Ah Xiong also left Han Chunlei the address of Shenzhen No. 1 Arts and Crafts Factory, as well as the phone number of the factory's sales office, so that Han Chunlei must find himself as long as he comes to Shenzhen. This friend, he Ah Xiong has made a deal!

As soon as the brothers left, he walked around the market of Shangtang Commune alone.

When he returned to the guest house, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Zhang Xilu patted his head and woke up with an uncomfortable face.

After washing up, I woke up a lot, and it is estimated that I vomited too violently last night, and my throat was hoarse, so Zhang Xilu spoke hoarsely today.

"Drink some water first. ”

Han Chunlei handed over an enamel jar and said, "Brother Xilu, you are too greedy for wine, you can't drink like this next time, what if you drink it well?"

"Hey, next time I don't know when I will be able to drink Yanghe Daqu so openly. ”

Zhang Xilu smiled disapprenously, "Usually I'm at home, and I can pick up the amount of old rice wine when I warm it." Last night was so cool, I didn't spend a penny, I drank as much as I wanted, I told you Chunlei, this Yanghe Daqu is really good, I can drink it every day in the future, and I am happy to drink it to death on the wine table!"

Han Chunlei: "......"

"Okay, don't talk about this, I asked you about the sand and gravel at the dinner table last night, what do you mean by saying half and half?" Zhang Xilu asked.

Han Chunlei smiled: "Do you still remember? I thought you were broken, and you couldn't remember anything!"

Zhang Xilu said: "Other things can be forgotten, this thing can't be forgotten, why are we here this time? I don't want to toss in vain, you Xilu brother is still waiting for the intermediary fee of this trip to buy rice and put it in the pot." ”

"Well, it's done, but there are some small surprises. It's like this......"

Han Chunlei didn't hide it, and told him about the conversation with Li Heping in the second move bathroom yesterday.

......

Han Chunlei spoke very steadily, Zhang Xilu heard it very clearly, and finally he shook his head and smacked his tongue: "Good guy, he really dares to speak, he will ask for half of the benefit fee as soon as he comes up! Chunlei, you are also calm, how can you see that he is cheating you?"

"Don't say it, at first I sounded angry, but I suddenly calmed down. ”

Han Chunlei said: "Because I have secretly observed him since he entered the private room, whether it is words and deeds or behavior, Li Heping belongs to people who seem to be rough and enthusiastic but are actually cautious. If he comes up and says that he wants twenty or thirty yuan for a benefit, I really believe it. But as soon as I came up, I broke my bottom line, isn't he afraid that I will suddenly make trouble, and directly sue him in the factory?"

Zhang Xilu nodded and agreed: "That's right, if you ask for a benefit fee of about 20 yuan, look at his outfit, as well as his 28 big bar, the price will also be dropped." Hehe, people like me ask you for an intermediary fee of about 20 yuan, which is about the same. Isn't that right?"

As he spoke, Zhang Xilu licked his lips and laughed sheepishly.

"Yes, uh, no!" Han Chunlei shook his head and corrected in time, "Brother Xilu, we agreed before, this time I will take care of the food and housing pipe fees, your intermediary fee is only ten yuan, and there is no more, and now you suddenly want to increase the price, you are breaking the contract!"

"What is the break of the contract, yesterday's meal was not your money," Zhang Xilu pouted, and then said, "Rest assured, I, Zhang Xilu, spit on a nail and say ten yuan, ten yuan, I don't want you to give one more!

Han Chunlei said: "Actually, it was Boss Cao who lifted me to the sky, and Accountant Li started to try my deep thoughts." Our accountant Li is amazing, and he also talked to me about a proverb in Sichuan, no matter whether it is a yellow cat or a black cat, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat. He took this 'cat theory' to test me and asked me what I thought of it, and asked me if this sentence could be applied to the future production and sales model of the bamboo factory, and whether the Shangtang bamboo factory could ...... it.

"What are the black cats and yellow cats, what are we doing with the cats? Of course the cats that can catch mice are good cats! The hungry black cats and yellow cats are as delicious as the yellow cats!"

Zhang Xilu didn't want to listen to Han Chunlei talk about these things, so he hurriedly said: "I want to know how to deal with the sand and gravel in the end?"

"Yes, they all want sand and gravel," Han Chunlei said, "Our Chaijiawu boat down the river, we can go straight to the ferry of their Shangtang commune." This batch of sand and gravel will be transported by ferry as soon as it gets dark. Li Heping also said that luck is the most appropriate after dark. I calculated that if our existing ferry ships in Chaijiawu were transported to the ferry of Shangtang Commune in batches, it would take three or four days to carry them. ”

Zhang Xilu's face was overjoyed, and he asked again: "What about the money? How can I pay for it?

Han Chunlei said: "This is what I said about half and half, what Li Heping meant, Shangtang Commune is currently engaged in large-scale production, the stalls are large, and the funds are very tight. So he could only pay half of the cash. The other half of him wants to use the bamboo products in their factory to pay, and I calculated that if we sell them, there is still a difference to be made. It's very cost-effective. ”

“......”

Zhang Xilu looked depressed, with a premonition that something was wrong, and asked, "Chunlei, you don't want to drag me into the city and secretly sell bamboo products with you, right?"

"Brother Xilu is really smart, you can guess it!" Han Chunlei nodded fiercely.

Zhang Xilu smiled bitterly, "Damn, I know that your ten-yuan intermediary fee is not easy to earn!"

Notes: About the "Cat Theory"

It has always been rumored that the chief designer has talked about the "cat theory": no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, it is a good cat if it catches a mouse.

In fact, this sentence was not pioneered by the general design, but a proverb in rural Sichuan, the original saying is "Yellow cat and black cat, as long as you catch mice, you are a good cat." "Marshal Liu ~ Bocheng, the close comrade-in-arms of the chief designer back then, will put this sentence on his lips every time there is a big war. The first time the chief designer quoted this sentence was on July 2, 1962, at a meeting of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China ~ Central Committee ~ to discuss the issue of "package production to households". The second quotation was on July 7, 1962, when the chief designer met with all the comrades attending the Seventh Plenary Session of the Third Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and once again borrowed this proverb to express his views on restoring agricultural production and guaranteeing production to households. Later, the cat theory was criticized, which promoted the widespread spread of this sentence.

Over time, it spread more and more, and it became "no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, as long as you catch mice, you are a good cat". Maybe it's to change the yellow characters to white characters, which is more eloquent and smooth to recite.

After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the "cat theory" became a theoretical symbol of China's shift in the focus of social work to economic development.

So in the book, Li Heping used this sentence to test Han Chunlei.

In 1985, the chief designer was re-elected as the person of the year in Time magazine in the United States, and "no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, a good cat is a good cat if it catches a mouse" was excerpted from Time magazine.

The influence of the "cat theory" has expanded to the world.

In 2001, at the APEC summit, Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's opening remarks were these words: No matter whether the cat is black or white, it is a good cat if it catches a mouse. It means that what Asia needs most today is economic development.

This remark is a bit long, but it is all the author's translation of one information after another, the purpose is to hope to restore a real and detailed forty years of reform and opening up!
