Chapter 133 Dr. Wen (2)

In Peiping, although the professor was hopeless, Dr. Wen could always get a few hours.He doesn't want to sell it like this.As soon as he showed up, he was so wimpy, he wouldn't do it.Even in the name of a professor, but with less money, it will work.The newly returned Ph.D. can't ruin his reputation.On the business card, the first line is "American Doctor of Philosophy", and the second line must be the director of some central library or bureau; at least it must be a professor of a certain university—preferably a national one; it's just " Teacher", absolutely can't take it out.

He turned his friends hard, and refused to teach for a few hours.If he died of starvation, it was the society that killed him; if he did not starve to death, he had his own way to get into a door, and he was very determined.Just relying on a doctor, probably won't starve to death for a while, although society is so blind, he said in his heart. For those people he knew in the United States, he didn't want to win over at all.No, this group of foreign students has no ability, no unity, and even no loyalty. He no longer counts on them.He can see that foreign students have more than enough knowledge, but not enough ability to handle affairs; so if they are good, they can be researchers or professors, and if they are not, they can't catch up with the status of domestic university graduates.Learning is a dead end. If you get in, you can't get out. It doesn't do anyone much good.Since the majority of international students are overwhelmed, it is no wonder that they cannot overthrow the old forces and replace them.If he wants to develop himself, he has to abandon this group of nerds and enter the circle of old forces; if he enters, Xu Tu will change his position and become his own.Even if he works as a private secretary first, or teaches a family house, as long as the leader is like that, he will not make a name for himself one day, and he will become a blockbuster one day.Since you can't get ahead right away, it's also a way to recharge your batteries and hide for two years; at least it's better than teaching for a few hours to catch up with the bell.

Having made up his mind, he defected to Commissioner Jiao.Commissioner Jiao’s business card does not have any official titles printed on it, because the single item of committee member is enough to cover both sides, and it is difficult to allocate space to print all the titles, so it is not printed at all, which saves trouble and is generous.From his group of committee members, one can know how powerful he is and how many aspects he has.From Dr. Wen's point of view, this is an ideal character.With the letter of introduction, Dr. Wen went three times before seeing Commissioner Jiao. Committee Member Jiao didn't read the letter of introduction, but only looked at Dr. Wen lazily, and then he saw that the name card was printed with "American Doctor of Philosophy"; that was enough.He simply put Dr. Wen under the category of "new international students".Committee Member Jiao has many cells in his heart, and each cell contains some cards into one category: old bureaucrats, new bureaucrats, old warlords, new warlords, western medicine, Chinese medicine, old foreign students, new foreign students... Agriculture, business, three schools and nine streams, all Each according to a grid.With three eyes and two eyes, he can clearly recognize the "kind" of human beings. He closes his eyes, opens his heart a few times, and touches each other like wiring on a battery. When they fit together, he has an idea. .For "new international students", he now has a very good way.That is to say, he has made considerable arrangements in the government, party offices, charitable organizations, and academic institutions.Now, he wants to absorb farmers.He knows better than anyone else that where the money is, so is the power.The richest person in the country is naturally either an official or a warlord; he has a deep relationship with these two types of people, and even if he can't follow his orders completely, he will never conflict with him or hinder his progress. cause.The next richest people are businessmen. In many ways, businessmen are not as reliable as officials and warlords. But money can speak, and businessmen have also learned how to open their mouths recently. This is worth noting.The money of businessmen gathers and disperses suddenly, which is far less durable and stable than the power of civil and military officials. However, whenever a big businessman falls, some people will get rich: when the boss of the company collapses, it is the time when the manager gets rich. accurate.He has to send some people to serve as consultants and managers to the big businessmen, so that they can wait for the opportunity to change hands.Besides, merchants and officials are originally connected, and rich merchants have always wanted to prepare their children and grandchildren for a future in the official career. At least they are willing to marry girls to officials' families or people who are educated, so as to give the family some style and momentum.As for those old-fashioned businessmen, although they don’t have much financial resources, they are more reliable than the new businessmen: they have been doing a kind of business handed down from generation to generation, such as medicinal materials, tea, grain and rice, etc., with old names and stable methods. , handed down in one continuous line, there is no sudden leap forward, and there is no danger of sudden failure to the end.Such businesses have long been classified as gentlemen in the society. Even if they have strong financial resources, their reputation is still there. The president of the chamber of commerce and the representatives of the business community in various meetings always fall on them.The descendants of their family can receive higher education, and the daughters of their family also marry people of some status.They are not only a force, but also a very long-lasting force.In public affairs, their names are almost always on the same level as officials, warlords and celebrities.Commissioner Jiao wants to provide some young people with choices, so that his own power can be united with theirs.

There are not many rich peasants in China, and there are even fewer of them now.In a county, that is, in the most affluent province, it is very difficult to find one or two households worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Farming is no longer the way to get rich.Some of the countable families in the whole province can be worth millions. Although they can't compete with the officials and warlords, they are already considered rare.However, even this kind of people did not make their fortunes exclusively by farming; some lived in newly opened cities in the early years, such as Shanghai and Qingdao, and the land bought for a few dollars gradually became worth several thousand. Tens of thousands, they became rich.Some use land as their foundation, and they think of other ways to make a fortune in the city, so even though the countryside goes bankrupt, they can still maintain a considerable amount of wealth.These wealthy people, who are nominally rural, have in fact lived—at least part of their families—in the city, gradually becoming landowners who receive rent from afar. To "take" these people, there is no need to go to the countryside at all, but to catch them in the city; even if their careers in the city are shaken, their houses and acres in the country will not be ruined; If you catch them in the city, your blood can be channeled to the countryside, and they will gradually take root. This is a way to pick melons and keep the seedlings. Even if it doesn't do much good, at least you can harvest a bunch in early autumn. Small melon, pickled and eaten is also good.

Committee Jiao's method is to send new international students to go to these businesses and farms.According to him, worshiping brothers and accepting sons are a bit outdated, and people of the intellectual class are embarrassed to play this kind of thing again.And in essence, these are far less reliable than marriage.Only by giving them a quick son-in-law can they secure their money and power.From the perspective of new international students, since they are newcomers, of course they don't have much experience in working, so we can't entrust them with important responsibilities.What's more, the political forces are so fragmented, each occupying one side, it is not easy to find a position.As for learning, it's not that there are no good players among foreign students, but there are always mediocre talents in the majority; what's more, the academic institutions will recruit the real good players first, and they may not come to Jiao's house; those who come to ask him, on the contrary, may not is a good hand.Then, these inexperienced, difficult to arrange, and new doctors and masters with little knowledge, it is best to be the new son-in-law.At least they are young, can wear foreign clothes, and have a degree; other things are not easy, and they are always qualified to be son-in-law.Naturally, there were some people who couldn't even do this, so Commissioner Jiao had no choice but to give up on them. He didn't have the energy or the time to lead them by hand all day long.Half of this is to create influence for Committee Jiao, and the other half is to find a way out for themselves. Besides, they are actually at a great advantage, because no matter what they get a rich wife first, Committee Jiao will never enjoy this blessing. People in their sixties.

This method is called "finding another way" in the mouth of Committee Member Jiao.Those who were sent to contact wealthy businessmen were called "Zhenxing Industry", and those who were sent to contact rich peasants in the city were "Go to the People".He sent Dr. Wen to Jinan, where people were needed for industrial revitalization and civilian work.He gave Dr. Wen a list without a letter of introduction, which meant that these people knew Committee Jiao, and they only needed to mention him.There were no clear instructions or explanations for the rest of the matter. I only told Dr. Wen that he could live in the Qilu Cultural Society when he arrived in Jinan.Committee Member Jiao was too lazy to speak, and it seemed that he did not say this, but slowly exhaled to Dr. Wen with a strong exhalation.His An Tian's calm demeanor was understood by Dr. Wen: his words are weighty and reliable, and he brought out "If you do it, it will be beneficial; if you don't want to, let it go, I still have many people to send!" Dr. Wen also said It can be seen that he doesn't need to ask for any more instructions, it is best to follow the path pointed out by Commissar Jiao; how to do it depends entirely on his own ability and vigilance; Please tell me not to.This understanding made him admire this old man even more. He felt that this old man really understood the social situation in China and how to place talents in the right place; It is not only to care for rising talents, but also to respect talents, so that people have the opportunity and courage to exercise their talents freely.The most admirable thing is Commissioner Jiao's hint about marriage, which is in line with what he preached in the United States: contemporary champions should be supported and trusted by the rich.His round eyes sparkled, and he thought in his heart: First come a lady with a hundred thousand, wouldn't everything have a foundation?Mando himself is such a piece of trash—how can he—probably he doesn’t have to worry about making a living.Sweeping away all the grievances of these days, he went to Jinan.

It was not easy to find the Qilu Cultural Society, but he finally found it, in an alley on the shore of Daming Lake.Found it, and half of his complaints came back immediately.A small door, with a row of wooden signs of different widths and lengths, different colors, and different fonts squeezed on the screen wall: Labor Ghostwriter Office, Minghu Western Painting Research Institute, Zhiyin National Drama Club, Qilu Culture Association... He went in and walked around the courtyard After a circle, no one greeted him.There are a total of ten or so houses, surrounded by a small courtyard, the houses are very dilapidated, the courtyard is very damp and dirty, except for a red cockscomb growing in the corner, there is no bright color.After going around again, he found the "Society", which was in the three south rooms at the entrance.One single room is used as the reception room, and the two connected rooms are the clubhouse; both have wooden signs, but more than half of the words written in white powder have been washed away by the rain.He knocked on the door of the reception room, and there was a yawn from inside, and then he asked in a very low voice, "What are you doing?" Dr. Wen couldn't help but sighed, "Come out!"

The people in the room yawned again, a deep, sad yawn.Very slowly, the door opened, and a tall and thin man walked out with his arms open and his head bowed.When he went out the door, he raised his head to see Dr. Xiang Wen blinking with a slender face and slightly opened mouth. "Is there anyone in the meeting?" "Huh?" The big man didn't seem to understand. Although Dr. Wen was from Sichuan, he was very proud of his ability to speak Mandarin well; if a northerner couldn't understand him, he thought it was deliberately humiliating him.He repeated: "Is there anyone in the meeting?"

"I can't tell!" The big man pretended to understand as if he still didn't understand, and his voice also showed that he didn't want to serve any more. "What do you do?" "I don't know either!" "This is not the Qilu Cultural Society, Committee Member Jiao—" "Ah, Master Jiao?" The big man suddenly seemed to understand everything.He hurried in, found the key of the clubhouse, and went to open the door; with long teeth showing in his mouth, he smiled, said "Master Jiao", and buttoned the button. There is a plank along the wall in the room; in the middle is a square table covered with a white cloth with patterns of tea bowl seals and ink dots; on it are a five-inch square copper ink box, a copper pen holder, four A teacup, a white porcelain teapot that looks like a small jar.There are two chairs beside the table.There is a small bookshelf on the opposite side of the plank, where there are some envelopes, ink cartridges, and a pile of old newspapers.That's all there is to it, but there's plenty of moisture.The big man went in and picked up the teapot: "Pour a pot of water to drink, Mr. Jiao?"

"I'm not Commissioner Jiao, I was sent by Commissioner Jiao!" Dr. Wen said, holding his nose. "Hey, then we can't talk about it!" The big man put down the teapot again, disappointed that it wasn't Master Jiao who came. Dr. Wen could see that this big man didn't know anything except Mr. Jiao.He had to find another way, at least he had to find someone who knew something: "Is there anyone else besides you?" "Myself, I still can't get enough to eat; the fish roe is fucking in the country! The food is expensive, so I dare not bring it all up!" The big man's words came more easily, and there was some emotion in it.

"Let me ask you, is there anyone else in the meeting?" Dr. Wen's nose was a little sweaty. "Then, I can't tell!" "What are you doing, exactly?" "Me?" The big man thought for a while: "I can't say it!" Dr. Wen also thought for a while, and took out a dollar: "Take it. Let me tell you, Commissioner Jiao sent me here, and I live here. I am in charge of everything, understand?" The big man giggled a few times, picked up the money, and told the truth: the affairs of the meeting are under the control of a surnamed Tang; what is Mr. Tang's name?do not know.The original errand's surname was Cui, Cui San, a fellow of the big man.Cui San was paid eight yuan a month.In the first four months, Cui San found a job elsewhere and taught the big guy to replace him. They are fellow villagers.The big man went to Mr. Tang's every month to receive eight yuan for wages and two yuan for miscellaneous expenses, a total of ten yuan.Cui San asked for five yuan, the big man got four yuan, and one yuan was used to buy water for lighting the lamp and so on.Cui San said that he couldn't keep all five yuan in his hands, because he had to send some decent gifts to Mr. Tang in the third quarter, so as to silence him.Cui San told the big man not to teach Master Jiao to know these things. "My surname is Chuwa. It costs four yuan. I have to take some home. It's enough to eat!" The big man finished his report and sighed.He doesn't know anything else; maybe Master Tang knows?Can't tell.
