National Tide 1980.

Chapter 455

The middle-aged man with the porcelain cup in his hand grimaced.

"Are you guys talking about being unreasonable? Are you still talking about first come first served?"

Xiao Wei didn't dare to plead guilty to the crime, so he quickly broke up.

"Oh, of course we are reasonable. But don't you not have enough foreign exchange certificates?"

The middle-aged man sent over the banknotes again.

"Although I don't have enough foreign exchange certificates, didn't I add RMB for you? And I added two yuan more."

Xiaomeng is not stingy with that.

"Then can RMB be equivalent to foreign exchange certificates? If you hold RMB, can you go to the Friendship Store to buy things?"

The middle-aged man stuttered.

"Then... that's not enough for me to make up for it. Are you going to pick up the head office with me now?"

Xiao Meng is proud.

"Sorry, we can't AWOL."

The middle-aged man was so anxious that blue veins appeared on his forehead.

"Then...then I'll give you the work certificates as a deposit, and I'll take the things away first, and I'll send you the foreign exchange certificates in a while."

But the more urgent he was, the more Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng misunderstood his "bad intentions".

The two of them shook their heads at the same time.

One said, "I'm sorry, there is no reason to take the things first and pay later. And we don't have the ability to distinguish the authenticity of your work permit..."

The other said, "That's right, you should hurry up and put the things down for us, because this foreign customer is still waiting."

The middle-aged man was so anxious that his jaw trembled.

"Do you understand the rules? Are you a businessman? If I don't let go of things, you can't show them to others, let alone sell them to others. You actually talk about foreigners and ask me to put things away. What do you mean?"

How old are Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng? They are the generation that grew up under the state-owned system.

The two of them really didn't agree with the rules of the middle-aged man.

In order to let the middle-aged man let go, Xiao Wei spoke very simply.

"Oh, your rules are new. According to what you mean, if you insist that you like everything in our store, can we not accept other customers? There is no such reason in the world, right?"

And what Xiaomeng said was even worse.

"Let's not say it's useless. If you can't produce the 18 yuan foreign exchange certificate, please leave immediately. Our 'no visit' is originally for receiving foreign guests, not domestic guests."

Probably never had to be kicked out of a shop.

The middle-aged man's face was distorted upon hearing the sound, he looked like a cat in a hurry.

"You guys are yelling at me again? Why this time? I'm going to the leader of the Temple of Heaven Park and sue you!"

This little Meng is also unique.

As soon as he pushed the store door open, he pointed to the sign outside and said.

"Why? Please be careful, just rely on this brand. You don't have foreign exchange certificates, what else can you say! I also told you that Tiantan Park can't control us! Our manager's office is just over the yard. But this rule It was his decision again, are you going to sue?"

This is an aboveboard provocation!

The middle-aged man was really impatient, so he came out and stood under the sign.

"I'm not illiterate, but I'd like to ask you to read it to me. Tell me, what do these words say? Could it be that Chinese and dogs are not allowed in? I want to ask you again, what are you guys? kind?"

Xiao Meng was in a hurry and screamed angrily.

"Hey, why are you swearing at people? Thanks to your age, you'll be living like a dog!"

The middle-aged man smiled angrily.

"Swearing? I've never scolded anyone in my life. Both of you girls are more talkative than I am. But I have to discuss this with you! Who are we and who are we? It's best for everyone to listen. "

At this time, a lot of tourists had already gathered in front of the Zhai Palace handicraft store.

The middle-aged man pointed at the signboard and expressed his dissatisfaction with the tourists.

"I think back then, there were signboards saying 'Chinese and dogs not allowed' at the gates of the parks in the foreign concessions in Shanghai and Tianjin, but even at that time, no one in Peking dared to hang them? I don't understand what is happening now. What's wrong with the world? Some people here actually dare to put up such signs!"

Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng were dumbfounded, and they immediately realized that the middle-aged man's actions might lead to serious consequences.

This guy is insidious, actually launching a public opinion offensive and inciting the masses?

So one hurriedly stopped. "Hey, what are you doing! Just because you don't sell your things, you are making trouble sincerely, aren't you!"

Another tit for tat.

"Don't listen to his nonsense, everyone, take a good look, there are some 'Chinese and dogs not allowed' in this place. This man is sick, and he deliberately wants to make trouble."

In fact, if they say it from their point of view, it's not unreasonable at all.

But the problem is that the social image of the salesperson is not good these days.

In the vast majority of stores, customers are vulnerable groups facing the salesperson. Who hasn't been neglected by the salesperson?
It is not an exaggeration to say that people are not worth their lives.

Even Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng went to the store to buy things by themselves.

It's not that when the salesperson is patronizing and talking to each other at the counter, they don't respond to how they shout.

It's just that when the salesperson comes back and forth to count a stack of banknotes and receipts, he refuses to look up...

I hate it!
What's more, the two girls' thin skin and fleshy eyebrows and eyes are contrasted with the hard-working and simple image of the middle-aged people.

Naturally, it is easier to stimulate the hatred of the rich among ordinary people.

So the audience's position is very firm, and there is no possibility of wavering at all.

A foreigner wearing glasses first said, "Although what you wrote is euphemistic, the meaning is the same, that is, the common people are not allowed to enter the door. I came from the south and went to Liulichang in the capital the day before yesterday. I entered ten shops. The nine families are all as superior as you. There is a shop that sells enamel paint. When a foreign tourist group came, I was pushed out of the door by one person. It hurts people's feelings if you do this!"

"That's right, what the hell! Are foreigners' farts delicious?"

"Hey! We don't let our own people in, so we love to serve foreigners? There are people like this who worship foreigners!"

"Don't forget, this is the Pierre Carton Clothing Exhibition Hall. They are paid foreigners' wages, so they naturally regard this as a foreign concession."

"Ask them, do they still know their ancestors? They really thought their eyes were blue!"

use up!It's really a Japanese ship, full (maru)!
The scene at this time is quite comparable.

It's like throwing a big stone into a stinky hut, arousing public anger (shit)!
Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng are only in their early twenties.

The two of them have grown up so much, how have they ever experienced such a scene?
So all of them turned pale and burst into tears, wishing they could close the door and hide, and find a place to sneak in.

What is even more unexpected is that the few foreigners in the store are not too serious.

Not only were they all standing aside to watch the fun, but they were also pointing and chattering.

Even the yellow-haired, blue-eyed big nose who asked to look at the cup just now.

He also laughed, and pointed his thumb at the middle-aged man.

So among the onlookers, some people who didn't know the whole story said it.

"Look at the quality of foreigners, they also understand right and wrong."

"That's right, who likes slaves! Dogs who can only wag their tails at foreigners are still looked down upon by them."

Of course, these words made Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng extremely wronged.

They almost spit out a mouthful of blood, they were so regretful that their intestines were green.

From the bottom of my heart, I feel that foreigners don't know what is good or bad, and they make them look like pigs and look in the mirror. They are not human inside and out.

Fortunately, there was a lot of commotion here, and the people in Wuliangdian also heard it.

Xiao Cao, who was in charge of the main clothing exhibition area while working in Wuliangdian, came out to take a look.

Finding that the situation at the door of the handicraft store next door was not right, and things were going to become a big mess, he hurried to the manager's office to invite Ning Weimin out.

And Ning Weimin reacted extremely quickly to this.

Although he was full of wine and food at the time, with a newspaper covering his face, he was dozing on the sofa.

But from the experience of his previous life, Ke Ke knows how strong the national self-esteem of the Chinese people is, and they can't be offended and trampled on.

This is undoubtedly the life and death of any foreign company.

So when I heard Xiao Cao say that the "foreign exchange only" sign in the handicraft store was being questioned by customers.

It was also contacted that "Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter", and it has become so noisy that it has been surrounded by people.

He didn't feel sleepy at all, "Prickly Edge" a carp straightened up, jumped up from the sofa, grabbed his coat and ran out.

That speed was a bit like "The Flash", and Xiao Cao, who was reporting the situation, couldn't even chase him in time.

When he ran to the ground impatiently, Ning Weimin saw that the scene was a conflict among his own people, while foreigners laughed at it.

He even didn't care to find out the whole story of the matter, so he rushed to the center of the venue to calm the situation.

"Everyone, I'm the manager here. If you have any opinions, please tell me. But we must have an order, otherwise the chatter will be too chaotic, and we won't be able to tell, right?"

Not to mention, his method of retreating into advance is effective.

Immediately and reasonably suppressed the noisy voice.

All of a sudden, it relieved a lot of pressure on the two girls.

"You are their leader?"

The middle-aged man with a porcelain cup in his hand looked at Cheng Yaojin, who Ning Weimin had killed halfway, and seemed a little unbelievable, looking up and down.

"Yes, I am the person in charge of the entire fasting palace."

Now Ning Weimin can also judge who is the main victim.

He handed over a business card respectfully.

With such an attitude, the middle-aged man's expression softened a little.

But the title and name of the foreign executives on the business card obviously added negative points.

When the middle-aged man looked at the content on the business card, his expression regained his sense of worry.

"It turns out that you really eat foreign food, so it's no wonder that your eyes are focused on foreigners. I also tell you that there is absolutely no reason why ordinary people are not allowed to enter the shops in the capital. Do as you do. Do it, but don’t blame me for responding to the relevant departments, it’s not your fault.”

These words were extremely provocative, and immediately aroused the sensitive nerves of the masses.

"That's right, they should be sued. These people are too snobbish, they just recognize foreigners."

"Let them suspend business for rectification and take off their brand."

Ning Weimin was flustered in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface. He forced himself to be calm and said, "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. I don't know what's going on with this matter. For such a big crime, things have to be clarified before we can get down. Formal conclusion. Frankly speaking, this sign does not say that everyone is not allowed to enter, it only restricts foreign exchange transactions..."

Although this was a tactful statement, everyone still thought that Ning Weimin wanted to quibble.

So he bluffed again.

"They're a gang!"

"That's right, it's not easy to find an excuse!"

"This kid is cunning at first glance, and the boy is not a good man!"

Ning Weimin who scolded was so embarrassed and so angry.

Even Xiao Wei and Xiao Meng couldn't stand it.

One said to him, "Manager, they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, let's call them guards!"

The other yelled at those people, "What are you doing, what age is it, and you still want to criticize!"

But can this still intensify the conflict?

Seeing that things were going to get out of control, Ning Weimin was really anxious.

Immediately, he glared at the two girls, "You all shut up! No one is allowed to say another word!"

Then he took the initiative to walk in front of the middle-aged man and bowed in public.

"This matter has come to this point, no matter what the reason is, there must be something wrong with us. So, as their leader, I have to say sorry to you in public for the two of them."

"Comrade, I don't ask you to forget the villains, but I just hope you can give me a chance and let's have a good talk. If there is a misunderstanding, we can clarify it. If they are really wrong, I will definitely Take it seriously and never cover it up. Do you think it's okay?"

However, just when the middle-aged man was hesitating, some good-natured people onlookers couldn't help but make trouble again.

Kindly reminding the middle-aged people not to be fooled, the voice of being tricked into delaying the attack sounded again.

Ning Weimin showed his rare determination and responsibility at this time.

He didn't wait for the middle-aged man to react, and immediately turned to everyone.

"Everyone, let's stop doing bad things with good intentions, okay? Everyone hopes that this matter can be resolved on the spot and dealt with in public. I understand how you feel. But you have to think about it, is it appropriate to discuss right and wrong on this occasion?"

"What is family ugliness that should not be publicized? I think everyone understands it. Are you willing to break it up in public when you quarrel at home? Do you let outsiders judge it for you?"

"Who is our own person? On this occasion, I think all of us with black hair, black eyes and yellow skin are our own people. So I beg everyone again, think about our situation carefully. I don't think anyone wants to fight in the same room and let outsiders Let's have fun. Shouldn't we discuss it somewhere else?"

"As for my sincerity, of course I have to show some. The first is the brand that everyone finds awkward, no matter whether there is a problem or not. I will take it off and never hang it up again. Okay?"

"Second, because of today's incident, we really need to suspend business for rectification. We don't need others to shut down. We will shut down immediately. We will close the door in a while. And not only shut down. We also need to re-do induction training for our staff, and strive to In the future, there will be no more conflicts with customers. Everyone is welcome to monitor our service quality in the future.”

"The third is to carefully verify the whole story, so that we can judge whether the two employees are at fault, and how to punish them. If you are worried about my selfishness and fraud, you can elect a few representatives and go to my office together Listen in. How about it? If you are not satisfied with my handling method, it is not too late to make trouble..."

After Ning Weimin finished speaking, the scene stabilized.

The onlookers had no reason to be picky for the time being, and they all started talking.

But Ning Weimin struck while the iron was hot, and took the initiative to ask the middle-aged man.

"Can you feel my sincerity? Do you have any other demands? If so, you may wish to speak up, and I will try my best to satisfy them."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ning Weimin to say such a thing, so he tentatively hesitated.

"I just want to buy this porcelain cup. But I don't have enough foreign exchange certificates, and they won't sell me..."

Ning Weimin stared at the porcelain cup, could not help showing some curiosity, but nodded without hesitation.

"This object is yours now. And the price is up to you."

Then he turned around and said to Xiao Wei, "Go and invoice this comrade right away. Leave the price blank and let this comrade fill it out himself."

The middle-aged man took a deep look at Ning Weimin, and then looked around the scene.

Seeing that foreigners were staring at them with big eyes and small eyes, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay then, let's talk in another place. Young man, I'm not interested in anything else, I'm only interested in your pleasure. I want you to be able to say the word 'one of my own'."

PS:

I found a picture in the video data. The original text of the sign in Chinese and English is "Dogs and Chinese are not allowed to enter", which comes from the photos taken by Soviet photographers in Shanghai back then, but for some well-known reason, I will not show you the picture. up.This signboard was disclosed in the Russian documentary "China's Rebirth" broadcast in September 2019 (CCTV 9 broadcast titled "Rebirth-China in the Eyes of Soviet Photographers").Many people have said that this slogan does not exist. They did not expect that there are still video materials of it in the world, which is a real blow.
