Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1077 Experience Hall

When the car arrived at Wenchuan, the first stop we were going to, Du Shiyang stretched his waist, parked the car on the side of the road, and complained: "I promised you to drive, but I drove more than you, and I was exhausted. It's the first time I've driven for such a long time!"

I smiled and said, "You can't blame me? You're tired, so talk! If you don't tell me, how would I know?"

Du Shiyang pouted and asked, "Why did we come here for the first stop?"

I explained: "You must be aware of the 512 cultural earthquake, right?"

Du Shiyang gave me a blank look: "Nonsense!"

I continued to ask: "Then do you know that in 08, the state promulgated the "Regulations on Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Restoration and Reconstruction"?"

Du Shiyang was a little confused.

I proudly said: "Don't you know? This is after the earthquake. The state formulated it according to the "Emergency Response Law of the People's Republic of China" and the "Earthquake Prevention and Disaster Mitigation Law of the People's Republic of China". , in an orderly and effective manner, actively and steadily restore the normal living, production, learning, and working conditions of the people in the disaster-stricken areas, and promote the recovery and development of the economy and society in the disaster-stricken areas. Have you seen that this small county has a new look now, you I found no, although there are no ruins, bricks and tiles, but there are open spaces everywhere, what does open space mean, it is post-disaster reconstruction, the state provides policies, and the local government is definitely willing to attract investment, this is our opportunity!"

Du Shiyang hummed and said: "It makes sense! What kind of project can we do to make money and have educational significance?"

I smiled and said, "I have an immature idea!"

Du Shiyang tilted his head, smiled charmingly and said, "Don't talk about it if you're not mature!"

I really shut up!
Du Shiyang said in surprise: "Why is the baby so obedient? If you tell me not to say it, don't you say it? Are you not afraid of being suffocated to death!?"

I laughed and said, "I'm not afraid. I'm not in a hurry. It doesn't matter to me whether I do this project or not. Besides, I have an idea, so I'm afraid no one will come to me?"

Du Shiyang didn't ask any further questions, but looked at the martyr's cemetery opposite, and said, "Go, let's go in and burn incense sticks!"

I sneered and said, "Are you so old-fashioned? You still offer incense? This is the martyr's cemetery, and it's flowers!"

Du Shiyang was so embarrassed that he almost got under the ground, blushing, and walked into the cemetery by himself.

The cemetery was still crowded with people as always, but this time, the group of students did not bother us.

After visiting around and walking out of the cemetery, I saw a trace of tears on Du Shiyang's face. I wanted to make fun of her, but seeing her serious expression, I really couldn't say anything to laugh at her, and I didn't know what to do. Reassure her, just walk silently behind her and wait for her to come out of her emotions.

After a while, Du Shiyang turned his head and said, "I decided to invest here. How about building an earthquake experience hall?"

I looked at her in surprise and said, "Did I tell you my thoughts? Or did I talk in my sleep last night?"

Du Shiyang groaned and said, "What? Is this the immature idea you mentioned?"

I said disappointedly: "Yeah! It made you think of it, it seems that you are not immature!"

Du Shiyang laughed loudly and said: "It seems that your idea is really immature, even I thought of it, it's not a good idea, right?"

I said disdainfully: "If you think about it, it's not considered a mature idea? Then let me ask you again, what exactly are you going to do? Just build an experience hall?"

Du Shiyang hesitated for a moment and said, "That's right, it's just to let the public reflect the feeling of the earthquake!"

I cut it and said, "That's right here? This is a ghostly educational experience! Many cities have this kind of experience hall. Who would come here to experience the earthquake?"

Du Shiyang retorted: "Didn't you say that this is the origin of the earthquake? Of course, if you experience it here, you will naturally feel the same!"

I nodded and said, "You're right, but have you ever thought about it? The maintenance of this experience hall depends on the attendance rate? Who else can come here to experience it besides the tour group? People who come here Not much at all, besides, if you leave after the experience, what should you do if the related industries can’t make money? You don’t think you can recover the cost by collecting tickets, do you?”

Du Shiyang snorted and said, "Then what do you think should be done?"

I said proudly: "Hey, now you know that my thoughts are not just that simple? What I can think of, you must not think of it! First of all, after the earthquake, except for those who died, most people walked out. After leaving Wenchuan, they no longer live here. No matter how many good policies the country has given, they still don’t want to come back, and they don’t want to recall the painful memories. What we have to do is to let the people who belonged here come back. Their own hometown, the task of rebuilding their hometown has to be handed over to them themselves!"

Du Shiyang curled his lips and said: "What you said is so high-sounding, why don't you talk about your real purpose!"

I said with a smile: "Where there are people, there will be money! Why can our Yaoyang Ancient Town be so successful? It is because of the large number of people! Where there are many people, there will be more consumption! While attracting tourists, we must also It is necessary to ensure that the local population is large enough, so that the local economy can be revitalized and related products can be promoted!"

Du Shiyang agreed: "That's the truth! Then how to attract the local population back?"

I replied directly: "Increase employment opportunities, if you can earn money at home, who would want to leave their hometown? So, the experience hall will be built, but you look at the beautiful mountains and rivers, or the bamboo forest and the sea of ​​flowers, here It is also the hometown of Yu Dayu, an ancient county with more than 2000 years of history! Can such a historic town provide many employment opportunities? We can build an industrial park, and of course use post-disaster reconstruction as a gimmick!"

Du Shiyang said with a huff: "This gimmick can not only stop the mouth of the upper class, but also give us more profit margins. This is indeed a good idea!"

I smiled and said: "Of course we can't pay all the money ourselves. The government has subsidies and we have created so many job opportunities. This is the best time for Wenchuan to prosper. I think the local people should sing praises to us." !"

Du Shiyang sneered and said, "You're getting cheap and acting like a good boy!"

In the evening, we started to cook by ourselves. We parked our car in an open space at the entrance of the villa. The surrounding scenery is very beautiful. There is a clear stream in front of the car. I took a sip of the stream water, which was very sweet and delicious. Now It is also rare to have the opportunity to drink the stream water.

After washing the vegetables and washing the rice, I started cooking. Du Shiyang really didn't help at all, just watching me messing around, I said very dissatisfied: "You really think I'm a nanny? Don’t you feel ashamed to drive you, cook for you, and give you ideas to make money in business? With hands and feet, why do you look like a disabled person?”

Du Shiyang was not angry either, and said with a smile: "If I have done everything, what do I need you for? I just want to see how capable you are? This can show your manly charm!"

While chopping vegetables, I curled my lips and said, "Shall I use you to show the charm of a man in front of me? If you want to sit back and enjoy the benefits, just say so! I wonder if you know nothing?"

Du Shiyang said disdainfully: "Which promising man spends all day around the pot?"

I put down the kitchen knife in dissatisfaction and said, "Then you come! If you don't do it, we will be hungry tonight!"

Du Shiyang smiled coquettishly and said: "Why are you so stingy? Just say a few words, just kidding, good boy, hurry up, it's almost dark!"

Reluctantly, I picked up the kitchen knife again, skillfully made a mapo tofu, made a tomato scrambled egg, and fried the stewed duck I bought before, and saw that the rice in the rice cooker was ready , I asked Du Shiyang to take out the beer from the refrigerator, set the table outside, and said happily: "Dinner!"

Sitting under the afterglow of the sunset, enjoying the breeze caressing his face, he opened a can of beer and took a sip, feeling: "Life is so good!"

Du Shiyang really didn't feel like eating at all. While eating, he told me: "Bring me a can too! Just drink it by yourself!"

I gave her a blank look and asked, "How is your drinking capacity? I didn't think your drinking capacity was good when I was in school! I watched you drink two of them that day!"

Du Shiyang went to the refrigerator and took a can of beer out, took a sip and said, "You may not be able to drink enough for me. I was brewed in a wine jar since I was a child. My dad has always raised me as my son. I just don't want to drink. , if you really want to drink, neither of the two men may be able to drink better than me!"

I snorted and said, "Are you provoking me like that?"

Du Shiyang raised his neck and said, "Are you scared?"

I cut it and said disdainfully: "I'm too lazy to drink with you. I'm not honored if I win with you. If I lose, I must be too tired from driving all day! It's boring!"

It’s okay if you don’t talk about it, but when you talk about it, Du Shiyang immediately became interested and yelled: "Driving alone for a long time, you are a man, I am a woman, and now we pay attention to equality between men and women, so don’t let me, let’s have a fair game." , I also want to see how much I can drink, after all these years, I haven't been drunk yet!"

I hesitated for a moment and asked, "When you're drunk, do you beat people, or do you cry and make noise? I'm most afraid of drunk people. It's fine if they just sleep. I don't care about the rest!"

Du Shiyang laughed and said: "I really don't know this! Why do you think I'm drunk? What if you are drunk? What will happen to you?"

I smirked and said, "That's not good, I might be able to do anything!"

When Du Shiyang heard this, not only was he not afraid, but he became interested, and immediately said: "Come on, I'll just think about it, what can you do when you're drunk?"

Once we drank a dozen cans of beer, the two of us didn't react at all. Du Shiyang kept saying that the beer was too weak, so he took out another dozen, and we drank quickly.

It's already past 8 o'clock in the evening, but the sky is still very bright. You can see the stars in the sky. You can't see them in the city. I said with a little drunkenness: "Look at the sky here, at night It's blue, and I can still see stars, I don't know how many years I haven't seen stars!"

Du Shiyang also said with a little drunkenness: "Yeah, the innocence and beauty here! Sometimes, I think, why bother to work so hard? How nice it is to live the life I want to live every day, pastoral, back to the original life, How carefree! I'm really getting bored!"

I smiled and said: "People, you have to have fighting spirit at any time. Now you think it's pretty good. After you live a week or a month, you will get tired of it. You are still too young. , this kind of life is not suitable for you! You work so hard every day, not to make money, nor to prove to anyone, but to achieve the sense of accomplishment you want. I have already thought about this point! I have thought about it countless times I've thought about the problem, but I'm still tired like a dog every day, and I can't stop, at least it's not the time for us to stop!"

Du Shiyang tilted his head and asked me: "Then tell me, when can we stop and really enjoy life?"

I thought for a while and replied: "I don't know. I guess when we are five or sixty years old, we won't be able to do what we want to do, right? Or something will knock us down completely, and we won't be able to stand up again." When you wake up?"

Du Shiyang asked curiously: "Will there be that time? I don't think anything can defeat you, nothing can defeat you! No matter what is difficult, it will become easy and simple with you!"

I smiled wryly and said, "That's what you think. I'm not a god. There are too many things that have troubled me. Taiwan has not yet been liberated, the drinking water problem in the northwest has not been solved, our environmental pollution, and the smog weather have not been dealt with. The further deterioration of Sino-US relations, these are all problems that I cannot solve!"

Du Shiyang smiled and said: "That is, you still can't solve it. The people of our country are quickly entering a well-off life. It can't solve the problem of 3000 million children going to school, and it can't solve the problem of urban road congestion! Come on, keep drinking, I don't know why, and With you, I can always be very relaxed, naturally, it feels good!"

I groaned and said: "Many people say that, it's because I am used to being free and lazy, I have no demands on myself, and I have no demands on others, so people who are with me usually Relax yourself, look up to me, and see that such a successful person like me looks like a bird, then she doesn't have to be so strict with herself, and over time, she will become the same person as me!"

Du Shiyang hummed and said: "Probably so! This is very good! There is no wine, what should I do? It hasn't been decided yet!"

I looked at the brightly lit villa on the opposite side and said, "Go, borrow some wine, you have successfully provoked my alcohol addiction, and the decisive battle will last till dawn!"
