Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1075
Du Shiyang said disdainfully: "Not proud! Not proud at all, what have you been doing these past few years? Why is there no movement at all?"

I smiled and said, "Are you planning to see me in those gossip magazines every day? Or do you think I will appear in the legal column every day and become Chen?"

Du Shiyang smiled and replied: "Then you have to give me some news, right? If you don't contact your classmates or friends, you just surround your one-acre three-point field every day. Who knows what you are doing?"

I grabbed the Coke in her hand and took a sip, and said, "What great things can I do! You know that Yunli resigned, and after that, I didn't do anything serious. The main reason is that I really don't know what to do, and I can earn money." It’s almost there, Yaoyang Industrial is also operating normally, but there is a serious problem in my heart, otherwise my life will be close to perfection!"

Du Shiyang asked with an oh: "What's the big trouble? Why haven't I heard you say it before?"

I hesitated for a moment and said, "Just talking about it, how is your company doing now? I read the annual report of last year, and it has grown steadily, and the results are outstanding! It seems that there are a few new shareholders. , I don’t know any names!”

Du Shiyang hummed and said: "After my dad officially quit the company, he transferred 20% of the shares to me, and the remaining 20% ​​was sold to the public. Now our company is a real joint-stock company. The new shareholders are all technical. Talent, the company is also considering transformation, although real estate is our main business, it is no longer the most profitable business, and now we are also expanding to new energy vehicles, logistics and other industries!"

I thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not that real estate doesn't make money, it's just that you can no longer use traditional methods to make money!"

Du Shiyang hummed and said: "Yes, that's why we have developed this new project! This will be the focus of our work in the next few years!"

I was a little puzzled and asked: "Then you are going to give up the development of commercial housing?"

Du Shiyang shook his head and said: "Of course not, but I will never make large-scale investment, and there will be no more linkages. Once developed, 4 or 50 buildings will be developed at the same time, and I will no longer consider acquiring land in first-tier cities. Except for some high-quality real estate projects, we will gradually reduce our investment.”

I frowned and asked, "Are you guys so pessimistic about the real estate market?"

Du Shiyang nodded and said: "Yes, many years of real estate experience tells us that the market has become saturated, and if property prices rise further, the common people will start a revolution, and the country will definitely suppress housing prices. In short, reasonable profits, right? Worth our investment!"

I said disdainfully: "You real estate tycoons always think about huge profits. If a real estate doesn't make hundreds of millions, it's not called making money, right? How can there be so many good things? Any industry starts at the beginning. Only when the public is not familiar with it can there be huge profits. Once everyone knows that this industry is making money, it will be impossible if you want the money to float into your pocket like snowflakes! , like you build a building, it is still quite profitable, but it is not as easy as before! There are always people who need houses, but there are only speculators, and fewer and fewer people invest. This is a good thing, no more The middleman earns the price difference, which is fair to both the buyer and the seller!"

Du Shiyang hummed and said: "That's the reason. We didn't abandon our main business. We just want to diversify the group. We can't just walk on one leg, right? Your Yaoyang Industrial is not the same. Development in all directions, involving film and television, real estate, catering..."

I hurriedly shook my head and said, "That's not my Yaoyang Industry, it's Yaoyang's. He is the biggest shareholder, and I just took a small part of the shares!"

Du Shiyang cut it and said: "Is it interesting? People outside don't know the inside story, don't we know? We all know that you are in the business, but do you know how many companies you are in and how many shares you have? what?"

I smiled and replied: "Maybe I know it? I haven't calculated it carefully!"

Du Shiyang opened his fingers and counted for me: "Do you still have shares in Wanzhong? Do you have shares in Yingke? Do you also have shares in Tongde? Your most valuable shares should be in Yunli, right?"

I groaned and said, "You know this too?"

Du Shiyang said proudly: "I have investigated you, and the most hateful thing is that you have shares in our company!"

I laughed loudly and said, "Isn't that something I did to help you consolidate your position!"

Du Shiyang hummed and said: "I didn't say anything about you, but I feel that your shares in our company have reassured me a lot! So, you have to pay attention to this project, and it is also related to your interests!"

I thought for a while and said, "I want Yaoyang Industry to participate!"

Du Shiyang hesitated for a moment and said: "I may have to discuss this with the board of directors. In principle, we plan to cooperate with several powerful companies and jointly develop it. I wonder if Yunli Group is interested?"

I said a little displeased: "You want to climb a towering tree, don't you? Look down on us little saplings?"

Du Shiyang cut it and said: "You just said that Yaoyang Industrial has little to do with you!"

I curled my lips and said: "No matter how old you are, Yaoyang is also my brother! Besides, Yaoyang Industrial has experience in cultural tourism projects, which is a precious asset! Investment may not help you much, but management experience is. A considerable amount of wealth, plus me as a military adviser, I think the weight is enough!"

Du Shiyang said something thoughtlessly, avoiding the topic: "There is a traffic jam ahead!"

I groaned, only to see a long queue in front of me, and the cars were all blocked on this narrow country road.

The motorcade moved forward slowly, and Du Shiyang didn't want to continue the topic we just talked about. It could be seen that she still didn't want Yaoyang Industry to participate in her project, or she didn't want me to participate in her project, and she just missed me alone Just help the staff.

My patience was being exhausted by the long motorcade, I stopped the car and let Du Shiyang drive, I went ahead to see what was going on?
I got out of the car and walked forward. After walking for almost 10 minutes, I found the source of the traffic jam. A group of fellow villagers were blocking the convoy, collecting money from one car to another. A truck driver was arguing with these old farmers about something ?
When I got closer, I saw that this group of villagers actually set up a checkpoint in the middle of the road. A big tree blocked the middle of the road. Two people stood on both sides of the big tree. They were probably tree movers. They paid the money. car can pass.

The truck driver reasoned loudly: "What do you mean this is the road of your village? This is a rural road. I have been running on this road for decades, and I have never seen anyone repair this road. Now it has become a road. From your village?"

A peasant woman said arrogantly: "I said it belongs to our village, it is our village. If you don't want to pay, you don't have to pass here!"

The driver said angrily: "Now you are blocked in front and back, I can't leave even if I want to!"

The peasant woman looked at the sky, as if it was your own business, and I didn't care.

At this moment, the drivers of the cars behind came over and persuaded the truck driver, "Pay it over, there are so many cars stuck in the back! Why do you care so much about 10 yuan?"

The truck driver said unhappily: "Why? It's not about money! It's you people who think that 10 yuan is not important, which fuels their arrogance. Everyone refuses to pay, and just blocks it like this. I think they How to do?"

A middle-aged farmer held a handle in his hand and said domineeringly: "What should we do? We'll just stay here and see who can outsmart whom!"

The driver of the truck was a bit over the top, got into the car, took a big wrench, and walked over aggressively. The middle-aged farmer was not afraid at all. He waved his hand, and a group of people rushed out behind him, surrounding the driver of the truck. Seeing that there were so many people, the driver immediately brandished a wrench and made his way out. In fact, no one stopped him.

After the truck driver was out of danger, he immediately incited other drivers: "Are you all cowards? Just let them blackmail you?"

Someone immediately said impatiently: "We are passing by. We left after paying 10 yuan. It is regarded as poverty alleviation. There are so many cars behind. You pay the money quickly and you will be fine. Don't worry too much, okay?" ?”

The driver angrily took 10 yuan from the car, threw it on the ground, drove away, followed by a trolley, paid the money, and left one after another.

I was surprised that there were even police cars in these cars, and they paid the money and left.

Although I am a cynical person, I would not do such a forceful thing, but this does not prevent me from calling the police.

After I got in the car, Du Shiyang asked me what happened?I picked up the phone and said, "You'll find out when I finish calling!"

The call was connected: "Hello! Is it 110? I met a car bandit road tyrant. On a rural road below the 105 National Highway, many people stopped all the cars. If you pass, you have to pay! Where is the exact location? This I can't tell. There are no signs on the roadside. It's the road from Huashi Township to Liujia Town! What? Wait? How long? How much will it cost me? Is this important? A penny, They can't grab it casually! Want a video? You want me to wait by the side of the road, goodbye!"

I hung up the phone angrily.

Du Shiyang said in astonishment: "You actually hung up the call to 110? You are in serious trouble. I guess you have to say that you called the police indiscriminately. I will arrest you later!"

I said disdainfully: "Is it that dark? Why did I call the police indiscriminately? How many people here can prove it. It is estimated that the police in their area have already received complaints. I don't believe that no one called the police like me. Just now That driver almost got into a fight with the villagers!"

Du Shiyang sighed and said, "I thought you were a frequent traveler, how experienced are you? It's not that the police station doesn't want to take care of this kind of thing, but it's because they don't know how to take care of it? If you want to arrest it, you have to arrest it together. Troubles come out of poor mountains and rivers, you If a villager is actually arrested, the nature of the matter will change. Don’t arrest them. They always receive the police, and they are afraid of being exposed. I guess, these villagers only rob for a period of time, and they don’t dare to rob too much. That's enough, the village's expenses will be over after half a year, when you run out of money, let's do it again!"

I gave a thumbs up and said: "The analysis makes sense, it seems that many people have been robbed!? Then tell me, how should we deal with this matter? You can't just let them act recklessly like this, right? law?"

Du Shiyang said helplessly: "No way! What can I do to solve things that the police can't solve? Change their village party secretary and remove their mayor, but the new officials who come up can't help it. The villagers are poor. You can’t let them starve to death, can you? They’re robbing the rich and helping the poor! Do you, me, and passers-by care about the 10 yuan? You don’t care at all, you have to pay 80 yuan to get on the highway Yes, it’s not too much to go the other way, and give me 10 yuan, right?”

I was suddenly speechless by Du Shiyang's words, but after thinking about it, I argued: "That's not right! They didn't build this road. Even if we are poor, can't we rob passers-by? Even if we are rich, Even if you want to help the poor, it’s not the method of helping the poor, right? At least you have to have a name and a certificate, right? They’re taking our money now, as if it’s a matter of course!”

Du Shiyang drove the car to the traffic jam, paid 10 yuan honestly, and let us pass happily.

Du Shiyang went on to say: "They are not bad at all. Once I drove to Guizhou alone, and there was a coffin on the road. There was really a dead person in the coffin. When I passed by, I could smell the stench inside. , the car that was given money, still hangs a white paper flower on the front of our car, do you think you are frustrated?"

I thought about it, and smiled: "This is really relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to eat water, and having nothing, just relying on the side of the road to eat! I said, this is the dereliction of duty of the local government. Do you want to get rich? No matter how poor the policy is , The country also has a corresponding policy, at least you must have enough to eat, right? How can it be a robbery?"

Du Shiyang shook his head and said: "Being poor has become a habit. You know that in some local governments, there are investors who want to invest, but they are all rejected!"

I asked curiously: "Why? Don't want to be rich? Pure-hearted and ascetic?"

Du Shiyang said with a smile: "Of course not, because the country's poverty alleviation policy will subsidize these impoverished villages and towns. Once you come to invest, once you take off the hat of the impoverished villages, there will be no subsidies at all! How good it is to get money when you reach out, If you come to invest, if the investment is successful, these cadres may not be able to get more money. If the villagers are rich, their power will become much smaller! The state subsidy has come down, and if he allocates it, this power will be great. If you get more, you have to get more! Tell me, if you would want to invest!"

I cut it and said: "This is a wooden head! The town is rich, and the town has taxes, so naturally there will be more funds that can be mobilized. Having money is nothing better than anything else! It's just stupid!"
