Chapter 6 Chapter Six

From then on, everything in the past has become the past.Kang Weiye's revolutionary move created a new situation for his life.The working methods of the agency are far away, the chores are far away, and Duan Lina is far away.There was a worthless husband in their family, and money came back in a steady stream.Duan Lina's pockets began to feel full and warm.They installed a split air conditioner, bought a fully automatic washing machine, replaced the small TV with a large one, and replaced the old refrigerator with a new one.Duan Lina won't be offended if she eats meat. As long as she has money, she can cut it for you.I am no longer angry when I take medicine. The hospital does not prescribe imported good medicine, and the medicine store on the street has a full range of varieties.During the process of their family becoming well-off, Duan Lina was also uncomfortable with certain changes in Kang Weiye.For example, Kang Weiye's hairstyle used to be very common. He could cut it short at the shaving shop run by the neighborhood committee for 50 cents a month. Now he does it in a beauty salon in Shanghai, using men's perfume and hairspray; Weiye's clothes are the most casual. He wears whatever Duan Lina buys. Now suits are suits and casual clothes are casual clothes. The brand of clothes must be particular about. Duan Lina can no longer buy clothes for him.For many years, Kang Weiye introduced Duan Lina to people by saying: This is my lover.Later he introduced it like this: This is my wife.Duan Lina hated the title "Miss" very much, it made it look like the old society, with a decadent atmosphere.She protested: "I am a member of the Communist Party of China, a political cadre, don't call me too big! I am embarrassed to say that I am a lover, so I call Comrade Duan Lina. Comrade is such a good name." Now Kang Weiye doesn't talk about his wife, but he Don't call me Comrade Duan Lina either.Regarding Kang Weiye's changes, Duan Lina specifically consulted the relevant researchers of their Academy of Social Sciences. Everyone knew Kang Weiye, and everyone told Duan Lina that Kang Weiye's changes were very natural and normal.If a businessman still follows the life and consumption habits of government officials, then he is not normal.Duan Lina thought for a while, and then took a look at the social situation outside, so she endured her discomfort.If a person gains something, he must lose something. You can't have both, Duan Lina still has this sense.Fortunately, Kang Weiye did not go too far. For example, he has hired female secretaries for several years, but he has no personal relationship with them at all.After all, Kang Weiye is Kang Weiye. His background and upbringing, the education of Mao Zedong Thought received by his generation is beyond the reach of ordinary businessmen.The most important thing is that Kang Weiye took home more and more money, which made Duan Lina feel proud in her life.She has grown plump, and her clothes are more fashionable. She can also buy some gifts for her parents from time to time, and let the taxi drive all the way to the door of their house deep in the dry rest center.

The trend of decorating the living room in the society has blown to Wuhan, and Duan Lina is not willing to be left behind. Kang Weiye not only readily agreed to Duan Lina's idea of ​​decorating the living room, but also immediately gave her tens of thousands of dollars.Duan Lina worked tirelessly to decorate the living room like a hotel. The ceiling of the living room was covered with colorful lights, making the home full of festive atmosphere every day. Duan Lina became the envy of relatives and friends.Everyone said: You are really blessed. Your family, Kang Weiye, is capable, decent and handsome, and you are supported by a lot of money.At such times, Duan Lina would burst into laughter, but she couldn't hide her smile and said to others: "Where, you all look at the appearance, what is he capable of? What money did he make? The business is not good now Do it. What good fortune do I have? Once a person starts a business, it is like becoming a monk. All the big and small things in this family fall on me alone. Wow----" Once the days are moist, the days Years slipped by without knowing it.For Kang Weiye, the past few years have not passed easily.When I sat and discussed with He Hanru at the Beijing Wangfu Hotel, talking on paper, I felt that doing business was not too difficult, but when I jumped into the business world, I immediately understood the difficulties and dangers involved.When Kang Weiye stepped into the sea, he choked on the water at first, which was very similar to the feeling he had when he was learning to swim when he was a child: he choked on the water again and again, and the acrid pain penetrated from his mouth and nose to the depths of his heart and lungs; his whole body was surrounded by darkness; Unsteady, you can't grasp anything you can rely on everywhere; you can't retreat, you can't be negative, you can't escape, and only by struggling desperately can there be a way out.Kang Weiye has already surfaced.He already wants to talk about his past experiences, so what can he say?After going into business, Kang Weiye undergoes radical changes every day and every moment.How can a particularly orthodox head like Duan Lina understand it?How can you accept it?How can you bear it?At the very beginning, due to the inertia of more than ten years of life, Kang Weiye didn't realize that he should get rid of Duan Lina.When Kang Weiye came back from the outside world, he was full of enthusiasm. No matter how busy he was, he would spare time to show Duan Lina the clothes he bought from Hong Kong and the United States, and tell her what he had seen and heard.At first Duan Lina nodded in agreement, but soon she became silent.Duan Lina's silence gradually became indifference, indifference gradually turned into disdain, and disdain slowly added disgust.From Duan Lina's expression, Kang Weiye suddenly realized that he was still in a cocoon, and he began to quietly draw his salary from the bottom of the pot.He added a hanging wardrobe and a single bed in the suite of his general manager's office in time. Whenever he bought clothes, he went back to the office to put down some of them.At the same time, Kang Weiye implemented a peaceful evolution policy for Duan Lina, changing her from the perspective of daily consumption and the way of consumption.Kang Weiye bought Duan Lina a tube of lipstick for a while, a bottle of perfume for a while, and two pairs of stockings for a while.Not only bought it, but also taught her how to use it: her profession is suitable for plain lip color lipstick and light lavender-scented perfume; perfume should be applied to the places where the arteries are beating, skirts, trousers, etc., because the fragrance It floats upwards.As far as Kang Weiye's nature is concerned, he is not interested in women's makeup fans, and he does this for Duan Lina.Kang Weiye knew Duan Lina too well.Their generation has always been poor, used to being poor, and proud of being poor. They are a generation of ascetics who have no temples and lost their idols, and use their conscience as a street lamp at night.Kang Weiye hoped that Duan Lina could keep up with her changes.

They have been a couple for many years, spent the most precious youthful years in their lives together through the most difficult times, and have a lovely daughter Connie together.Kang Weiye believes that they are basically successful and they should not split up. The 40-year-old Kang Weiye does not want the backyard to catch fire. The children suffer the most from a backyard fire.When he thought of his precious daughter Kang Dini, it was not difficult for Kang Weiye to let go of any selfish thoughts.In addition, he was indeed a little afraid of Duan Lina, since the day they met for more than ten years, Duan Lina had always had the upper hand.I don't know why, but if he is one foot taller, Duan Lina can be one foot taller.Kang Weiye took one more look at the pretty girl on the road, but Duan Lina didn't follow her. Apart from throwing pots and bowls at him and ridiculing her, she would resolutely go to his leader, his parents, his friends complaint.Duan Lina is definitely a woman who can spare no effort.Kang Weiye couldn't afford it, he wanted face very much.Kang Weiye knew very well that conceptual problems could not be put on the table and solved neatly.To deal with Duan Lina, Kang Weiye's strategy is to soak and then infiltrate;Duan Lina is a stubborn rock, and Kang Weiye is running water.Kang Weiye lives under the same roof as Duan Lina with his calmness, patience and great compatibility.But things still didn't develop as Kang Weiye hoped.The arrival of He Hanru and Lin Zhu is an introduction, leading to the general outbreak of the conflict between Kang Weiye and Duan Lina.Only then did Kang Weiye realize that Duan Lina didn't seem to be attracted or corrupted by his money.Duan Lina eats what she should eat, wears what she should wear, and will not let go of what she should enjoy. Thanks to his money, her little life is pretty good, but she just hasn't changed.

In the early spring of 1992, He Hanru brought his project manager Lin Zhu to Wuhan to discuss an important business with Kang Weiye. He asked Kang Weiye to let a large hydropower station under construction import a special component of their American company. .If successful, Kang Weiye and He Hanru will be able to earn a price difference of 10% of the sales amount, which is almost 140,000 US dollars.The business intelligence was provided by He Hanru, and Lin Zhu was in charge of and assisted in this work at the head office, and Kang Weiye would handle the justification and supervisor for importing such special components for the hydropower station.It is a very difficult project to get a series of senior experts and senior cadres. Therefore, He Hanru offered to distribute the bonus of 40,000 to him and Kang Weiye's 100,000. When the time comes, He Hanru will personally transfer Kang Weiye's personal account in Hong Kong from the United States. .After they reached a consensus, Lin Zhu handed over on the spot the $5,000 activity funds provided by the head office to Kang Weiye.Americans also know that money is needed to get everything done.In the early 1990s, the exchange rate between the dollar and the renminbi in society was one to ten or even higher.He Hanru put money equivalent to more than 50,000 RMB into Kang Weiye's pocket, without even asking for a receipt.Kang Weiye knew that this was a true friend.This is the trust and respect that my decades of personal character have earned me.Kang Weiye accepted the five thousand dollars openly and frankly, without any extra confession or explanation.He felt that He Han, Ru Linzhu knew very well that Kang Weiye would not be greedy for such a small profit, and what he was determined to earn was the one hundred thousand dollars that belonged to him.After He Han and Ru Linzhu left, Kang Weiye acted day and night.Treat someone to dinner, play tennis, talk to this person, talk to that person.

In order to wait for international long-distance calls and telexes, he ate lunch boxes from restaurants and slept on a single bed in the office.His cell phone was ringing non-stop, and his secretariat was in a state of high tension, so that Kang Weiye could fly to Beijing or anywhere else at any time.Duan Lina asked again and again: "What business are you doing? Why are you so busy?" Kang Weiye said: "General business. You have to seize opportunities when doing business, and you are always desperate when you are busy." Duan Lina asked again and again "I heard that He Hanru brought a little girl with him this time?" Kang Weiye said, "Is it alright to leave her private affairs alone?" But Duan Lina thought that Kang Weiye was appeasing the adulterer.And Kang Weiye, you have to pay attention, those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black!Because Duan Lina's diction was always in the book, Kang Weiye didn't take Duan Lina's words to heart at all.In the midst of his busy work, he took the time to buy several important items for himself: a Swiss Rolex gold watch, a Montagut belt and British air-cushioned leather shoes.Kang Weiye didn't pay much attention to the brand of leather shoes. His experience was that if they were genuine imported shoes, the price would be more than 1,000 yuan, and the shoes would feel comfortable once they entered.The reason why it costs thousands of yuan is not to show off the price, but because the current imported leather shoes cost only a thousand yuan, so it is impossible to have any good leather and good style.A watch has to wear a famous brand.Swiss Rolex is good. The evergreen tree in the watch industry is exquisite, perfect, and considers your wrist. It will not break after several lifetimes. It is worth paying for it. Good stuff as a family heirloom.Kang Weiye wanted to buy these few personal items for a long time, this time it was indeed the result of He Hanru's urging.He Hanru's theory is: If you want to make the biggest business in the world, you must have the world's first-class packaging.Kang Weiye felt that He Hancoop's words had some truth.Three treasures for men, leather shoes, belts and watches.Now Kang Weiye understands the beauty of real good things: although good things are expensive, they serve the master, they are your slaves, and they will give you the most subtle consideration. It will not be fatter, and it will not be narrower in the wide part. You will have no sense of restraint and hindrance when you move your hands and feet. And the stars are holding the moon, and every line exists to set off you. You are absolutely beautiful.Cheap things are generally very insidious. They are a trap to lure you into being fooled. After you buy it, you become its slave. A button, so you are always thinking about such trivial things, running around the store.And wearing this kind of thing, you will be blurred, forever submerged in the ant colony of people on the avenue.A person has only one life, and for this life, money is for this life.What would you do if you were saving money and wasting your life?Unfortunately, this truth is not everyone can really understand.Duan Lina just half understood.When Duan Lina saw Kang Weiye's gold Rolex watch, Montagut belt, and British leather shoes worth thousands of dollars, she said, "How much money did you make? It was too hot!" The consumption cost almost 80,000 yuan.This really frightened Duan Lina.Contacting Kang Weiye's close friend He Hanru's life style, contacting Kang Weiye's way of ignoring her advice, and contacting Kang Weiye's changes in dressing and conversation over the past few years in business, Duan Lina suddenly realized that Kang Weiye was using Money blinded her to corrupt her and get rid of her, while he himself had gone far.If Kang Weiye is allowed to go on like this for a long time, he will inevitably make mistakes, and the consequences for this family will be disastrous.The more Duan Lina thought about it, the more frightened she became. She was determined to restore her past prestige, and then use iron wrists to restore everything in their family to normal order.It seems that money is really an evil thing, and she also needs to re-understand it, and she must not be blocked by it from her sharp thinking and eloquence.
