1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 365: Anti-corruption must start with the gatekeepers
In the past two days, newspapers in Beijing have been discussing issues such as Director Deng's objection to liberalization raised by me a few days ago.

Most of the common people were watching the excitement, and they all felt that this matter was far away from them, and the most important thing was to honestly hold the iron rice bowl in their hands.

But those who dared to venture and fight began to worry, worried about whether the path of reform would continue or stop here.

There is also the question of how to draw this boundary, whether it is better to follow the example and have the same effect, or to take the best policy and try to counteract it. This is a major matter that concerns everyone.

In this regard, the leaders of the Democratic National Construction Association also called some colleagues in Beijing and held a small meeting to discuss this important matter.
Luo Tao knew that in the next few years, this matter would be very exciting.

He knew how much he weighed, and he could do business and make money, but taking political classes would cost him his life.

He himself still likes nature classes very much.

At this time, members of the Democratic National Construction Association also entered the hall one after another.

This was Luo Tao's first time attending a meeting, and he was very self-aware and chose to sit in the last row, next to the aisle.

Not long after, the small hall became agitated. It must be that the leader came.

Luo Tao also stood up and looked to the side of the rostrum. It turned out that several leaders above were also here.

He waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, comrades!"

As soon as the Chuan sound came out, the small auditorium was like boiling hot water, and the reverberating sound was enough to kill flies.

Luo Tao also applauded and looked at the podium.

The leaders shook hands with more than a dozen comrades from the Democratic National Construction Association in the front row and said hello, and they all took their seats.

Then he said: "Everyone, sit down. I have called you all today just to hear what good suggestions you have."

As soon as the old man said this, everyone was whispering to each other, and there was a lot of discussion below.

No one said anything bad, but no one took the initiative to stand up and talk about it.

Because the notice everyone came to receive was an internal discussion, and I really didn’t expect that the leaders from above would come.

On such a big occasion, don't talk nonsense if you don't have any brains.

When the leaders of the Democratic National Construction Association saw these people brazenly holding a small meeting below, they shouted out.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to the leader speak to us."

He stood up and took the lead in applauding after he finished speaking.

The leader's speech is also very concise and to the point, not talking about the branches and ends, but going straight to the topic.

Luo Tao listened very carefully and studied this political class today. It cannot be said to have changed his life, but it will definitely change his future life.

The leaders made speeches one after another, and finally the representative made a speech.

Unsurprisingly, everyone is going in the same direction, and you can't go wrong if you follow dang closely.

When Luo Tao attended such a meeting, he only listened carefully and followed the crowd to applaud.

The meeting lasted all morning, and the meeting ended at noon without even bothering to eat.

After the old leaders left, Luo Tao walked out of the hall followed by the comrades from the Democratic National Construction Association whom he had just met at the meeting and chatted with for a few words.

"Brother Luo, you are really young and promising. You must come to our Jinghua Flour Factory to take a look when you have time."

He is dressed very simply, with a pen in his Mao suit, which shows his prominence.

In these days, apart from the leadership level, only the groom-level officials can wear this kind of clothes.

This old comrade was an acquaintance, so Luo Tao only had a brief chat with him, and he even relied on Luo Tao.

"Director Li, let's make an agreement. If I go, you can't kick me out." Luo Tao smiled and took out a cigarette for him.

I was in a hurry today and Hua Zi didn't take any with me, so I had to take out my favorite, Hua Zi's brother Daqianmen.

He took it and put it on his mouth without even looking at it.He brought his own matches, and as a long-time smoker, he was particularly nimble in his movements.

When he took the cigarette from Luo Tao's hand, he started to pick out a firearm with his other hand.

"Stab!"

The match struck.

"Come on, Brother Luo." He took the initiative to light Luo Tao's cigarette first.

There is no need for any false etiquette when a smoker smokes. This can be regarded as reciprocity!

Luo Tao held his cigarette in his mouth and smoked it a few times, sparking a fire like a prairie fire.

He used the last flame to light his cigarette.

Watching people coming and going, the two of them stood against the wall again to avoid getting in the way.

"Hey! What, what are you two talking about here? Can you add me too!"

The voice was like a bell, and the two of them quickly laughed together, "It's an honor for us, Boss Rong, to chat with us, don't you think so, Brother Luo?"

Did the old man say that he was not good?Why should you learn how to play football like others?

"Director Li is talking about, Boss Rong, I don't know if you have time at noon. It's been a long time since I joined the Civil Engineering Construction Company, and I haven't thanked you for being the leader."

Luo Tao just followed the pole when he had the opportunity. If there were dates or not, he would hit two poles first.

"Mr. Luo treats guests, even if I don't have time, I have to find time to come. Not everyone is lucky enough to eat the court dishes in Xichang."

Boss Rong is definitely a top figure in the Chinese business world. He also holds an important national position and his status is extremely prominent.

In terms of age, he is Luo Tao's grandfather.

"Boss Rong, you are trying to flatter me with these words. I am just a junior in front of you. If you don't give up, just call me Luo Tao."

Luo Tao has always shown himself to be humble, kind, and studious. Such a good label cannot be lost lightly.

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Zuo chatted for a while, and among the three of them, Luo Tao was a poor man who came riding a two-legged car.

The two of them did not expect that Luo Tao would not have a luxurious car, and neither of them were polite to him, and got into their cars.

Heading to the Xichang building we made an appointment with.

Luo Tao was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. Why couldn't he go and tell them in person: "How do you two, please give me a ride? I haven't bought a car yet."

As a person from Beijing who wants face and loves Li'er, I would never say this even to death.

Walking to the car delivery place, the cart was ready to go.

Then he was stopped by a middle-aged uncle, "Ahem! Where are you going?"

He grabbed Luo Tao's handlebar and refused to let him go.

"Uncle, what, is something wrong?"

Luo Tao doesn't understand everything here.

"Pay the money, five cents for an hour, and you parked for four hours and eight minutes."

Oops, they also charge money for stopping the government's land. Luo Tao made a mistake.

I looked at my watch again, it was wrong!This was obviously only three hours and twenty, so why did it become four hours? Rounding off, it must be three hours.

Then I thought about the lunch dinner. He was an iron-clad four-wheeler and I was an errand. I took eight points from my pocket and gave it to him.

I won't give him a dime, just because I'm afraid he won't be able to find it. "Pa" patted his hand.

"Give."

He released his grip on the handlebars and clicked to confirm.Seeing Luo Tao's blue face, he smiled and comforted: "Little brother, I am also generating income for the country, there is nothing I can do about it. Please go slowly, and you are welcome to come back next time."

Luo Tao glanced at him before leaving and snorted coldly. When he walked to the door room, he took a special look at the big red sign outside the door and saw it read: outside vehicle storage, two cents a day.

It seems that he did not charge excessively, but he just increased the price a little from the original basis and earned a little extra profit.

It seems that corruption and bribery really need to be caught from the gatekeepers.

The uncle had a panoramic view of Luo Tao's every move before he left.

"Hmph! This is a regular income, man. It's useless to look at it."

He went back to the room and drank a few more sips of tea: "Looking at people in their twenties and riding a broken bicycle, I would be embarrassed to come to the meeting."

"At first glance, he looks like a stupid young man. He keeps stopping at places that are free, but insists on stopping at places that charge fees. Today, I'm going to let him spend money to teach him a lesson, so he won't be lazy next time."

……

Luo Tao left here in a depressed mood. Luo Tao vowed to argue with him to understand next time he comes again, otherwise he would always think that he was a rookie who just got off the job and just wanted to make a few bucks from himself.

In order to entertain Boss Haorong and Director Li, Luo Tao endured it.

Otherwise, this old man wouldn't be strong enough for Luo Tao to give him a beating. Not everyone has the fearless spirit of the little bastard.

After exiting the gate of the deep-walled compound, Luo Tao pedaled his bicycle frantically towards Houhai. Fortunately, the two places were not far apart. It would only take 8 or [-] minutes to ride quickly.

After setting up the car and entering the store, Nier at the front desk came over.

"Mr. Luo, there are two guests who are said to be your guests. We have arranged them to the private room with the word "lan" next door."

There is also a question in this tone. After all, don’t you know me?I'm also afraid of making a mistake.

Fortunately, they were well-trained and did not question them on the spot. Instead, they were hospitable and left them alone.

Then they contacted Luo Tao. They called their home several times but no one answered. They were a little anxious to wait.

Before they even ordered, they ordered a free pot of green tea.

When Luo Tao came, their hearts were set.

"Okay, it's okay, you can go about your business! By the way, Ni'er, remember! If these two people come here in the future, the order will be waived."

After giving her instructions, Luo Tao left gracefully.

Nier didn't know the identities of the two people who came upstairs just now, but she knew that as long as Luo Tao valued them, they must be big shots.

She stood at the front desk, trying to recall the appearances of Boss Rong and Factory Director Li.

After entering the house and seeing the two old gods drinking tea, Luo Tao hurriedly confessed.

"I'm sorry, both of you, I ran into something on the road, so I've been negligent."

Luo Tao would not say that he came late because their mounts had four legs and his own had two legs.

"Yes, we have just arrived. Today we are on Boss Luo's territory. I think it's better for Boss Luo to order today's meal!"

Director Li was the first to take the conversation. He already knew Luo Tao's identity, and all friendships had a purpose.

He said to Boss Rong again: "Boss Rong, why don't we just sit here today and wait for our meal?"

Boss Rong pushed the glasses frame, and said seriously: "Director Li, it is good to make a suggestion. Then this is the menu. Today is also the first time I come to Xichanglou to eat, and this menu makes me dizzy. But come here, I want to have a taste of everything.”

He handed the menu to Luo Tao, but Luo Tao, in turn, was not polite and casually ordered a few of Chef Hou's specialty dishes.

Among the three of them, it was the first time for Luo Tao and Director Li to meet each other.

There is not much strangeness between the two, it all depends on their friendship over a cigarette.

I didn’t eat anything out of this meal, maybe everyone has their own scruples!
Not a word was said about the meeting this morning, let alone future business dealings.

They all talked with pride about Luo Tao's entrepreneurial history and some of the good things he had done in the past two years.

The boasted Luo Tao was very useful, and he toasted these two seniors frequently, even saying that he didn't dare.

This aimless drinking party ended quickly, and everyone left with their thoughts on their minds.

the next day.

The professionals who came from Xiangjiang to shoot commercials came to Beijing.

Xu Le borrowed two Santanas from Huang Yuanchao to pick up people at the airport.

Since last year, Luo Tao and others' dividends from China Electric have dropped sharply. Their combined income is only 100 million yuan a year.

They also slowly penetrated into the electrical appliance market in Beijing.

They were all very unhappy after being squeezed by Wang Jun and others. They wanted to regain their position, but Luo Tao would not let them go astray.

Luo Tao was also very angry about this, but he had no choice, because this was all what the above said, otherwise Luo Tao would definitely have a way to deal with Wang Jun and the others.

The growth of Chunghwa Electric has affected the interests of some people. If it weren't for someone behind Luo Tao, he might have been imprisoned.

In the past two years, after learning from many sources, Luo Tao gradually understood the twists and turns. The more he knew, the more Luo Tao realized that his last life was really in vain.

Of course, I am also glad that I was an inconspicuous person in China's rich circle in my previous life, otherwise I would definitely be punished.

He realized this in this life, and now he is actively participating in it, trying not to look at certain people's eyes all the time.

What we also need to understand more is giving up.

The Xu family can't stay close to him all the time, because after Luo Tao knew Mr. Xu, the Xu family entered a state of retreat.

Now he can only rely on his own "foresight" that others don't have to make friends with people of the same way to plan for the future.

It is not a gentleman not to avenge this revenge.

Although he did not get much profit from it, he refused to withdraw his shares just to disgust them and wanted to see how they established their "Chunghwa Electric" company.

Although mosquito meat is small, it is still meat.While someone above is not using force yet, take one bite at a time.

At the same time, Luo Tao also advised Huang Yuanchao and the others to start a new business and do some other business, and learn from Liu Lang and do that woman's inner business.

Now Liu Lang can make a lot of money every year. I heard that he has opened several stores in Shanghai and Hainan. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader in the underwear industry in Shanghai and Hainan.

This guy also found a Huhai wife there. Although he has a registered permanent residence in the capital, he has lived in Shanghai for a long time and is considered half a Shanghainese.

Huang Yuanchao and Liu Hai were also trendy in the capital. They actually set up a "Dibei" agency to serve foreigners who came to the capital for the first time and find authentic Beijing people to serve as their guides.

The euphemistic name is to earn foreign exchange for the country.

In order to support their appearance, they also spent a lot of money and jointly bought eight Santanas.

The business was good, but far from a hit.

In addition to doing "land times", they also do moving work. The moving industry also has a long history, and it is not a new industry.

In the Xiaoyangquan Hutong in "Four Generations Under One House", there is a man who makes a living from this, known as Mr. Li. He often moves people's houses, and he is so tired that he bends his back.
