Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1440 Looking for a Pharmaceutical Factory
I said angrily: "I just came back, and there is another mission? How long have we not been together? What mission is so important? Didn't she just come back from the field? Is there any special mission that she must go to? She is not a special police officer, nor is she from the Criminal Investigation Brigade!"

Political Commissar Wu said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, I can understand your feelings, but suddenly there is a mission, there is no way to do it! As a family member of our police officers, you should be considerate of us!"

I was dissatisfied and said: "I understand you, you have to understand me too? It is obviously a UN stability maintenance mission, and I have been there for two years. Except for a phone call, no one can see each other! What I know is that you go to the UN To carry out the task, I don’t know, I thought you were going to be undercover agents? How important is it to make it so secretive, can you entrust it to her?”

Political Commissar Wu's expression changed, and he became serious and said: "Whether you guess or know something, you must keep your mouth shut. You should have this awareness!"

I was taken aback, and said in surprise, "I won't be right? What are you doing? Katsuo is a traffic policeman! How could you send her to such a dangerous mission?"

Political Commissar Wu said seriously: "What dangerous mission? I don't even know what you're talking about? I solemnly tell you now that Comrade Sun Shengnan was appointed by the superior department to carry out the mission. As her family member, please actively cooperate with her." Do not cause unnecessary difficulties to her work, Comrade Chen Fei, can you do it?"

I gave her a blank look and said, "What capacity are you talking to me now? If Shengnan's superior tells me, then you have no right to order me anything! I'm not under your control! If your current political commissar It’s not okay to tell me with my identity! I haven’t broken the law, and I have the right to speak and do things. As long as I don’t break the law, I can do whatever I want! You have no right to interfere with my behavior, right?”

Political Commissar Wu explained patiently: "I am not ordering you. If Katsuo's mission fails because of you, then her and our efforts over the years will be in vain, and you don't want to see Katsuo's sacrifice in vain. isn't it?"

I frowned and asked, "What did she sacrifice?"

Political Commissar Wu knew that there was something wrong with his words, and immediately said: "Sacrifice the time with you! We all have family members, and I can understand your feelings, but at any time, it's not always that the country is bigger than the family, and the country has talent. Having a family, isn’t this the duty of each of us citizens of the People’s Republic of China? What’s more, you are the family members of our police officers, so you should have such awareness!”

I snorted coldly and said: "I support Katsunan's work, but my ugly words are up front. If there is something wrong with Katsunan, I will not let any of you go. I don't care who you are. Captain's!"

Political Commissar Wu comforted: "I will guarantee her safety!"

I snorted and said, "It's best!"

Walking out of the office, I know that Katsuo's current job must be beyond the scope of work she told me. As for what it is, I will wait for her to come back and explain it to me slowly!
Mr. Ma's pharmaceutical factory, Yunnan DHDZJPZ Zhizhou Longchuan County, is an autonomous region of ethnic minorities. This geographical location is relatively remote, with a population of only 18. It borders Myanmar to the west.

Guan Ze, Yaoyang and I first arrived in Dali by plane, then found a local friend, borrowed an SUV with a local license plate, and it took more than 6 hours to drive there.

This local friend is Xiao Hei, a former comrade-in-arms of Brother Kui, who opened a homestay in Dali. When he opened this homestay, Xiao Hei lent him money. Of course, Xiao Hei did not hide it from him. It was taken from me.

Therefore, he was very enthusiastic about us. We originally planned to go there by ourselves, but he said that he could speak the language of the ethnic minorities there and was familiar with the geography and human relations there, so he took us there.

In the car, I asked, "Brother Xizi, how can you speak Yunnan dialect as a Northeasterner?"

Xizi replied while driving: "I have been in Yunnan for more than ten years. I didn't want to learn it at first. I can communicate without speaking Yunnan dialect. Most of the people I contacted were tourists. Later, I started a little tea business, and then After a while, I started to learn their languages! Among them, Yunnan dialect is one kind, and the others belong to minority languages, which are not considered dialects. This is close to Guangdong and Sichuan, so some people speak Cantonese, and some people speak Sichuan words, but with a little accent!"

I hummed and said, "Brother Xizi is very studious, isn't he? Then why do you want to live here? Are people from the Northeast used to coming to the South?"

Xizi sighed and said, "What's not used to? People, when will you say something! My hometown is poor, and I'm really the kind of poor who can't get rid of the pot! When I was young, I didn't read well, so I joined the army. Joining the army It was borrowed money from the sale of frying pans at home, and I was looking for a relationship. I just hope that I can stand out alone and improve the environment for the family! My grandfather and dad are both factory workers. They have worked in the factory for 4 to 50 years all their lives. In 40, I was allocated a 1300-square-meter house for a family of five. My elder brother took over from my father and paid 3000 yuan a month. Now it is less than 5 yuan a month. My second brother was naughty when he was young. I fell down on the 2000th floor and broke a leg. The street took pity on him, and arranged for him to work as a shift worker, plus a disability allowance of more than 400 a month. My mother retires with [-] yuan a month. Think about me The whole family lives like this!
I thought that after I joined the army and retired, my family would be able to improve, but when I returned from the army, I was assigned a job as a security guard. Let alone buying a bigger house, I couldn’t even afford to support myself. That’s really poor! "

I asked puzzledly: "It stands to reason that your family has a total of more than 1 yuan a month, right? You also have a house, and at least you don't have to worry about food and drink. It's not as serious as you said?"

Xizi shook her head and said, "You really haven't lived in poverty! There are five people in a family, and a 40-square-meter house can't live in it. It's not like some people are sick. If you are happy, if the third brother of ours talks about his partner, So what should I do? What if someone gets sick and has no savings at all? I saw that this is not going to work, so I wanted to go out and make a living. I don’t know, Xiao Hei, Brother Kui set up a security guard The company is still in a coastal city, a special zone, and I heard that the treatment is good, so I came here!"

I asked in surprise: "Are you also in the company? Why haven't I seen you?"

Xizi smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, you may not know how high an official you are, right? You are very familiar with Xiao Hei and Brother Kui, and feel like they are brothers. We are different! We are just working! You Think about it, Brother Kui is a god here. I have the squad leader, team leader, department head, manager, general manager, Brother Kui, Brother Kui, and you are not directly under your leadership. The leader of the head office, you are the biggest one in the group company! If I want to meet you, how many people do I have to pass through!"

I said with a oh: "Yes! Then you participated in that time in Myanmar..."

Xizi shook her head and said, "I just heard some news, but I refused to tell it! Brothers, they all want to participate! It's a pity, I just joined the company at that time!"

I said oh, "I just went to the team building once!"

Xizi giggled and said, "That's right, that's right, it's just team building! Mr. Chen, don't worry, we are all soldiers and know what to say and what not to say!"

I asked curiously: "Then why didn't you do it? You came to Yunnan!"

Xizi said gratefully: "Thank you so much! Brother Hei said at that time that as long as he has worked in the company for more than 2 years and has a future, he will support him and do whatever he wants! I have a fellow , I opened a homestay here, and I need help. I thought I couldn’t be a security guard all the time. Although the salary is a lot, I can’t help my family! I just came here to have a look. I can’t open it anymore, I want to cash it out, I want to cash it out, because it’s quite profitable, but I don’t have any money at hand! I really have no choice, so I talked to Brother Hei, I didn’t expect it, he didn’t even think about it , just lent me 30 yuan, didn’t say when I would pay it back, didn’t even ask me to type an IOU, and said that you lent me the money! I really appreciate you!”

I said embarrassedly: "I really don't know about this. Even if it's a loan, I should have lent it to Xiao Hei. He, he gave me this favor. If you want to thank him, you should thank him!"

Xizi shook her head and said, "You are all good people, I know that being with the right boss is more important than raising a good family!"

I laughed without saying a word, and said nothing more.

When we arrived in Longchuan, it was already dark. We found a small restaurant and ate a bowl of rice noodles. After inquiring about where to live nearby, we settled down in a nice homestay. This is already the largest homestay here, but there are only three. An empty room, still made of bamboo, with wind leaking from all sides, but fortunately it was summer and it didn't rain, otherwise I really don't know how to live?
I asked Xizi and Guan Ze to find out, where is that pharmaceutical factory?Tomorrow morning, I'll go over there and see if I can see Benson?
After inquiring, Guan Ze told me: "People in the town don't even know that there is a pharmaceutical factory in the town!"

I said puzzledly: "It shouldn't be. It stands to reason that such a large pharmaceutical factory must be quite large in scale. It should be easy to find? Did you ask the right person?"

Guan Ze gave me a blank look and said, "I'm neither dumb nor fool, of course I know who to ask? I don't know, I just really don't know!"

Xizi analyzed: "I think this may not be a pharmaceutical factory, at least on the surface they are not building a pharmaceutical factory, it may be a food processing factory, a chemical factory or something like that!"

I shook my head and said, "Registering a pharmaceutical factory, but not opening a pharmaceutical factory, doesn't make sense anywhere?"

Xizi explained: "Yes, there are many companies here that are like this. The industrial and commercial taxation is not checked at all, and the main thing is to pay taxes! The geographical location is biased, and there are many ethnic minorities, so it is difficult to manage! Tourism projects It hasn't developed yet. If a company comes to invest, the town government doesn't care what you want to do? Just pay the money!"

I hummed and said, "That makes sense, then I'll inquire again tomorrow to see which are the largest factories here, and if I inquire one by one, I will know where the specific pharmaceutical factories are!?"

We had nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the three of us split up to investigate the situation. Longchuan County is actually not big, and it is mainly concentrated in one town. The other towns are basically one street, and no one lives there!Guan Ze went to a town 10 kilometers away from the county seat, Xizi drove to a relatively remote ethnic minority town, and I wandered around in this county seat.

Early in the morning, there were quite a lot of people going to the market on the street. Many of them were wearing minority costumes and carrying baskets. Some of them even had a child in them. There were not many people, but the streets were narrow, so it seemed that there were so many people. , Occasionally, when passing a car, you have to be stuck in the middle of the road, and no one will give way to you, and they don't even bother to look at you.

Most of the commodities sold are small commodities that are voluntary wholesalers. Of course, it is impossible for them to come from voluntary wholesalers. The rest are hardware tools, daily necessities, fruits and vegetables, bean products and cooked food.There are also a few street stalls with clothes, and there are quite a lot of people to see.

I was wearing a green polo shirt and black shorts. Even though this was my most common attire, it still looked a bit out of place when I walked on the street. You could tell at a glance that I was from out of town.

I look for the same kind of people who wear the same clothes as me on the street, so that I can know that these people may have come from other places, and I may be able to find this pharmaceutical factory, but at the same time, I have to be careful, I am recognized by others, so , After much deliberation, I went to the money stall selling clothes, chose a white T-shirt with the golden words "BJ welcomes you" printed on it, added a straw hat, and put it on directly, so I felt like a local I am a part of the people, mixed with the crowd, no one will pay attention to me at all.

I sat next to a blue Tianjin marijuana car, bought a Tianjin marijuana flower, bought a cup of soy milk, sat on a stool at a breakfast stand, and chatted with the big brother who sold the twist: "Brother, you twist Did it come from Tianjin? Can your car drive so far? Why do you want to come to such a far place to sell mahua? Does anyone here eat this thing?" While talking, he gnawed on the mahua that could not be chewed at all. , I feel like I'm grinding my teeth.

The elder brother glanced at me, pouted his mouth and said: "Brother, you have never eaten our twists! The twists have to be soaked in soy milk to eat. Besides, whoever said that our Tianjin twists come from Tianjin. yes?"

I asked aloud: "Isn't it from Tianjin? Let me just say, you can see your Tianjin Mahua everywhere you go. You can't make it from Tianjin to run all over the country, right? The cost is too high. Besides, I feel You can’t sell much in a day! Isn’t there enough gas money?”
