Chapter 10 chapter Ten

At 3:00 p.m. Rome time, the plane began to land towards the terminal, and the magnificent thousand-year-old city was just under your feet. Before setting foot on this land, Xia Yingjie felt the heaviness and shock of a historical relic. It seemed that Caesar's war horse was still neighing, as if Spartak's steel knife was still slashing furiously.God knows which brick here is not Michelangelo's artistic inspiration?Which stone is not a sacred object touched by the Pope? However, what Xia Yingjie felt most deeply was not these, but her entry visa. With Italy's unchanging policy on the entry of Chinese into the world and a wave of xenophobia sweeping across Europe, she and Jiang Wei were able to enter Rome legally. as simple as that.

During the long-distance flight of more than 20 hours, whether she was on the plane or in the lounge of the airport of the transit country, she could hear all kinds of Chinese people's comments on Italy's immigration policy, and one sentence was burned on her like a fire. In her heart, it hurt her self-esteem.An old overseas Chinese lamented: "It is getting more and more difficult to live in Europe, and it will be bad if there are too many Chinese." When passing through the Italian customs inspection, Xia Yingjie saw Ye Hongjun waving at them from a distance.After meeting, Ye Hongjun warmly shook hands with them and helped them move the suitcases from the luggage trolley.

Ye Hongjun picked them up from Rome airport in his old Toyota car and drove to the city center.Jiang Wei has hardly spoken since she got off the plane. She only let out a sigh of relief when she was sitting in the car and said: "Too nervous, too nervous just now." "It's understandable." Ye Hongjun said, "I was in the same mood when I first entered Vienna. I was afraid that there would be trouble with visas, because this kind of thing often happens, but now your heart can be settled." "I'm so excited now." Jiang Wei said excitedly, "I was still in Beijing yesterday, and I arrived in Rome in a blink of an eye. It's really like a dream, and the dream has come true."

Ye Hongjun smiled and said: "The people who come out are hot for three days, but it's more than three days when they get cold. I don't want to scare you. If you really want to gain a foothold in Europe, you must first be mentally prepared .” Jiang Wei said: "Now that European countries have revised their immigration policies, I can understand the weight of this opportunity. Now that I have come in, I have to persevere even if I am a cow. Either die here or stand firm." Jiang Wei's mood at the moment is very complicated. There is a sudden weightlessness after high tension, and the excitement of miraculously realizing the European dream. She also feels a huge pressure of survival and human feelings.

Facing the cold wind of winter, the car drove into the urban area. Along the way, one could not only appreciate the classical beauty of historical buildings, but also appreciate the magnificence and prosperity of a modern metropolis.From time to time, you can see Chinese restaurants with Chinese signs on the street, and you can also see wandering gypsies. When they came to an apartment building in Dongcheng, Ye Hongjun chose a parking space and parked the car, then took the luggage and took them up to the nineteenth floor by elevator, and opened the door of a room.After they came in, Ye Hongjun handed the two keys to Xia Yingjie and said, "This is a rental house from a real estate company. It has complete facilities, 24-hour hot water in the bathroom, security guards on duty day and night, and a parking lot downstairs. Furniture I bought it according to ordinary standards, first to solve the problem of food and accommodation. The four-room house may be a bit bigger for two people, mainly considering your needs for writing and receiving guests. The software of the computer in the study is specially designed by the computer company for overseas Chinese. It is comprehensive, practical, and has functions of writing Chinese characters, document editing, and automatic conversion between traditional and simplified characters. In short, it is very suitable for you.”

Xia Yingjie looked around, telephone, TV, sofa, writing desk, bookcase, Simmons bed...there were all kinds of daily necessities, it was like a newly married house.She shook her head and said, "It's too extravagant, it's too extravagant, it's completely different from what I imagined. I want to know, how much is the annual rent for this house?" Ye Hongjun did not answer directly, but explained: "The house is rented in my name, which saves you a lot of trivial matters in the formalities. The specifications are a bit higher than those of the working class, but I am renting according to Yikun's He has his own considerations for asking to do something. After all, you are somewhat well-known, and Yikun does not want domestic news to have reports that are not conducive to your personal image."

Xia Yingjie remembered that when she was in Haikou, she bought four packs of "Marlboro" cigarettes for Song Yikun, and Song Yikun also said the same: too extravagant, too extravagant.She thought of the small county in Shandong, and Song Baoying who taught in a mountain village school.Her heart was hot and blocked, and she couldn't taste what it was like, so she said, "What kind of personal image? Yikun always makes people confused when doing things, and he has to make people worry about it." In fact, it is Jiang Wei who is most sensitive to the specifications of this house, and the high rent will put more pressure on her.she asked:

"Can the house be changed?" Only then did Xia Yingjie realize that he shouldn't have said those words in front of Jiang Wei. Ye Hongjun said: "It's impossible to get back the money I paid. Actually, it's nothing. There are quite a few overseas Chinese living in villas in Rome." Jiang Wei asked: "Is our company far from here?" "It's not far, you can walk there in ten minutes." Ye Hongjun said, "You guys rest first, and I'll take you to see the company tomorrow. An Italian friend, I mainly want you to get to know each other and understand the environment here."

Jiang Wei asked: "Can I go to the company now to have a look?" "Of course." Ye Hongjun asked Xia Yingjie again, "What do you mean?" Xia Yingjie smiled and said, "What's the matter? Suddenly I can't speak here. No matter how I say it, it doesn't feel right. It's more tiring than a long journey." Ye Hongjun quickly spread his hands and said, "I am the most innocent." Jiang Wei's depression relaxed a lot, so she said: "I'm not sure if I can make money in the future, but I'm already one of your people, I will live wherever Ajie lives, and I will eat whatever Ajie eats. The sky is falling on everyone."

Xia Yingjie said, "Jiang Wei, bring your work plan and let's go to the company. Be the boss first." Jiang Wei opened her suitcase and took out a work plan that had been drawn up.Ye Hongjun led them downstairs and walked to the company. Eurasian Culture and Art Communication Co., Ltd. is located in a building where there are many enterprises and institutions. The first floor is a bank and a shopping mall. There is a large parking lot in front of the building. The whole building is simple and magnificent.Taking the elevator to the seventh floor, Ye Hongjun opened a door and invited them in.

This room has more than 20 square meters and is divided into two large and small rooms by a decorative wall. There are telephones, computers, fax machines, printers and special desks and chairs. Ye Hongjun handed over the key to Jiang Wei, and said: "This house may be the smallest company in this building, but the standard of renting a house here is not low. For newcomers, Ying Wei is a high starting point. If you work You can point out the deficiencies in the equipment, and you can buy an office car after you get your driver’s license here. It’s best for Ajie to take a test for a license too.” "Is it troublesome?" Xia Yingjie asked. "No trouble." Ye Hongjun said, "The examination system here is different from that in China. You can learn as you go, and you are not limited by time. The teaching equipment is world-class. If you are fast, you can get a license in half a month. The important thing is to pass the exam." "Okay, I'll take part in the study." Xia Yingjie said, "Look at Jiang Wei's work plan first. If it is feasible, you can help. If it is not feasible, you can point it out and make feasible suggestions. In short, the first thing is to recruit workers." , I hope that I can participate in the work here, which can save a salary and expand social contacts. As for writing, I can do it in my spare time.” Jiang Wei immediately objected, "How can that be? I am your agent now, and you are my cash cow. Both Su Weiguo and I are counting on your next book to make a fortune. As for other projects, they are all side jobs." Ye Hongjun also said: "I can understand your feelings, but you can't get involved in the company. Yikun has repeatedly told you to take a long-term view. In fact, you don't have nothing to do. Your ability to publish more manuscripts is the greatest benefit." , including right now, your board and lodging are all earned by yourself." Jiang Wei said: "My Miss Xia, you are shutting yourself up at home now to write, write, write, and I just grab you and shake, shake, shake." Everyone laughed. Ye Hongjun read Jiang Wei's work plan, which mainly has four contents: 1. The Italian Football League has a great influence in China. CCTV broadcasts a live broadcast every week and organizes various promotional activities.Taking advantage of this, combined with its own advantages in publishing, distribution and information, it comprehensively collects Italian football materials, edits and arranges the highlights of matches and anecdotes of famous stars in time, sends them back to China by fax, and enters the book market. 2. Establish extensive contacts with Chinese publications in Italy and Europe, strive to publish commentary articles through various methods, and publicize newcomers, new books, and new songs designated by domestic companies, and respond to domestic marketing needs. 3. Discover and launch Italian overseas Chinese cultural works, new books that will have commercial value.The new song is introduced to the country. 4. Based in Rome, make extensive contacts with Italian cultural groups and strive for cultural exchanges in business, mainly buying music copyrights and organizing performances by art groups. "The idea is good, and the appetite is not small." Ye Hongjun said, "If your work is combined with the activities of overseas Chinese associations, it will be more interesting. However, it is not easy to make your company really develop. .” Xia Yingjie said, "At least I can't do it without your help." Ye Hongjun took out two business cards, gave each of them one, and said, "Call me whenever you want me to help, but it's best not to go to a consulting company to find me, because usually, conversations in the office are measured in minutes. Fee." The address and telephone number of the Roman Chinese Business Information Consulting Company were printed on the business card, as well as a series of titles of Ye Hongjun—— Manager of Roman Chinese Business Information Consulting Company Director of China News Computer Network Rome Third Publishing Station Member of Italian Overseas Chinese Federation Director of European Chinese Business Association Director of European Overseas Chinese Culture and Art Association From the business card, Xia Yingjie roughly saw Ye Hongjun's way of life in Rome. For-profit work and public welfare activities are a benign and complementary relationship.Jiang Wei was excited after seeing the business card, and said: "No wonder you have such great supernatural powers. With this contact map, I am more confident. Brother Ye, I will ask you about recruitment information now. You won't charge for it, will you?" "How could it be?" Ye Hongjun smiled and said, "As far as the Chinese are concerned, there are many talents in Rome, people from all walks of life, especially foreign students, many of whom are working part-time to earn money in the name of studying abroad. In addition, There are also Italians who have graduated from China to study in China. This kind of people can speak Chinese and communicate with local people easily, which often plays an unexpected role. Therefore, as long as the conditions are good, I don’t think talent is a problem.” Jiang Wei said: "Then let's discuss the recruitment conditions as soon as possible, recruit three people, and strive for the company to operate as soon as possible." Ye Hongjun said: "I also hope so, because the business of the company is directly related to the extension of your residence. According to the new regulations, in order to apply for an extension of the visa in the form of starting a company, in addition to the company's registration certificate, it is also necessary for the company to operate normally for one year. Corporate tax and personal income tax certificates, so that the company can be recognized as real, otherwise the visa will be refused." Jiang Wei asked: "In Rome, how much control do I have over funds?" Ye Hongjun said: "The company's registered capital is 560 million lire, which is equivalent to 350,000 U.S. dollars, or 2.9 million yuan. The actual bank funds are 180,000 U.S. dollars. My principle to your company is to help your company. Neither participating nor interfering. So, how much money you have at your disposal is a matter within your company.” Jiang Wei understood that Ye Hongjun was not Song Yikun's authorized agent, and even people like Ye Hongjun were still under Song Yikun's will even though they were thousands of miles away. After seeing the company, Ye Hongjun sent them back to the apartment and said goodbye to them in the parking lot downstairs.Just as he was about to get into the car, Xia Yingjie suddenly stopped him again and asked, "Brother Ye, do you have any acquaintances in England?" "I know a few people from overseas Chinese associations. Is there anything wrong?" Xia Yingjie said: "I have a girlfriend in Manchester. I want to know a little about her real situation. I hope you can help." Ye Hongjun said: "Manchester is a big city, and there will definitely be Chinese organizations, which can be contacted through indirect relationships. Ying Wei is no problem." Xia Yingjie took out the address book from his handbag and found the page of Lin Ping, copied it with a pen on the blank page, tore it off and handed it to Ye Hongjun, saying: "I'm worried that she's in a bad situation. It's just a suspicion. So don't alarm her and don't say anything about it." Ye Hongjun took the address and asked, "Is this person important to you?" "How should I put it? She and I worked in the same newspaper office, lived in the same dormitory, and then went abroad with a man. In fact, she is not bad, but her culture is low, she lacks social experience, and she loves vanity." "I can still confirm that she is very beautiful." Ye Hongjun said, "According to news common sense, this kind of silly elder sister is not lucky. It seems that they are part of the biological chain, just catering to the needs of carnivores." "Isn't it too harsh?" Xia Yingjie thought for a while and said, "However, it does make sense." Ye Hongjun said: "I don't have much sympathy for this kind of woman, but this does not hinder what you asked me to do. I hope your suspicion is wrong." "Thank you, please." Xia Yingjie said. Ye Hongjun drove away with Lin Ping's address. Xia Yingjie kept looking at the car until it disappeared from sight, and stood there intently, savoring Ye Hongjun's words—— This kind of silly big sister is not very lucky, it seems that they are part of the biological chain, just catering to the needs of carnivores. The plan was completed with 300,000 words. The ideological tendency of this work is very clear. It mainly uses the life, work, and marriage of two women as clues, and reflects the current situation of women's equality in contemporary Chinese society through their different social levels, different knowledge experiences, and different value orientations. Before Xia Yingjie wrote, she was clearly aware that she was taking a risk, or gambling. The basic point of view advocated by the work is: Chinese society has realized the equality of women and men in the three major aspects of educational rights, employment opportunities and marriage autonomy in the form of law. There is nothing in the hands of men that is privileged. Under this social system, what else do women want from men?What else is in the man's hand? Want to be a philosopher?Come up with your thoughts. Want to be a politician?Get out the program. Want to be a military strategist?Take out the record. Every door is open, and whether you can enter is a matter of women's own strength.If women are allowed to participate in politics by allocating quotas, then its main premise has lost equality, which is fundamental inequality. The work challenges the traditional theories, evaluates women more from the perspective of human survival and social division of labor, and praises women's nature and great spirit of sacrifice.The work advocates women to face up to their own strengths and weaknesses, and advocates men to show more broad-mindedness and social responsibility. The work warns women: Don’t trust the saviors of the feminist movement, don’t trust the extreme views of "women live for themselves", those feminist theories that put men and women under the same competition rules regardless of reality, superficially elevate women, but in the end It hurts women.The improvement of women's status depends on their own economic independence, on the creation of more jobs suitable for women's physiological characteristics by developed production methods, and on the continuous progress of human civilization. Xia Yingjie believes that only by acknowledging differences can women be better protected.The rights and interests demanded by women should not be the equality of survival rules, but the great inclination of social interests to women.This inclination will directly mark the degree of civilization of a country or a nation. Although Xia Yingjie was completely on the standpoint of women's interests, as a woman, after all, she bluntly admitted the difference between men and women. After all, she was saying: Weak, your name is a woman.This is likely to be attacked by the public opinion circles because of this, it is likely to arouse the disgust of some people, and it is likely to lose a group of readers. But she was determined to take a chance because she didn't want to lie. It's been almost a month since I came to Rome, and the novelty of this strange country has gradually disappeared, and Xia Yingjie has begun to treat life here calmly.Together with Jiang Wei, it took her 20 days to obtain a driver's license and bought a women's Fiat sedan. She called her family and told her family about her situation, which really surprised her parents.She contacted Song Yikun from time to time to let him grasp the situation here. From the day he came to Rome, Xia Yingjie set a hard target for himself, writing no less than 2,000 words a day.She already had experience in writing a novel, plus a detailed writing outline and a lot of reference materials, so it was easier to write.The days when she started to learn to drive a car were really stressful, but after passing the test, she felt much more relaxed, and she could manage her time calmly. Her life is very regular. She runs every morning, writes in the morning until she completes more than 2,000 words, and engages in some social activities in the evening to collect materials extensively to prepare for future creations. Xia Yingjie's life is peaceful, but the European Chinese society is not peaceful.There are a large number of Chinese publications on her desk, including "Ouhua", "Ouhua Times", "Roman Overseas Chinese News", Ye Xia Digest, "Netherlands Overseas Chinese Newsletter", etc. From some titles, you can see the life of Chinese people A glimpse of—— The Wave That Shocked Europe: Immigration and Exclusion "The Chinese and the Mafia Are Equal Again" Between Austria's "Alien Law" and the Chinese "Mafia" Incident The Dream of Rome and the Disappearance of the Visa "The Murder Happened in Barcelona——A Chinese Cannibalism Incident" The Communist Party Public Security Comes to France to Cooperate with the Police to Crack Down on Gangsters" "The Political Turmoil Brought by Xenophobia" "Defending the Overall Interests and Reputation of the Chinese Society" Although Xia Yingjie didn't know much about European society and culture, she felt the fact that the Chinese were discriminated against.In front of the high-end hotels in Rome, the national flags of more than a dozen countries including Britain, the United States, and Germany fluttered in the wind, but the solemn five-star red flag could not be seen. On the streets of Rome, Japanese-made cars, Japanese banks, and Japanese supermarkets can be seen everywhere.In contrast, it seems that Gypsies are always wandering around, Romanians seem to be selling newspapers on the street forever, and Chinese seem to be always opening restaurants and working as part-time workers. As a Chinese, Xia Yingjie has never longed for the development and strength of the motherland from the bottom of his heart like now. In Rome, Xia Yingjie's patriotism did not need to be taught by anyone, it came naturally. This afternoon, Xia Yingjie had just finished writing her 2,000-word target and was listening to music in the living room when the doorbell rang.Seeing that it was Ye Hongjun through the monitoring hole, she opened the door. Ye Hongjun put the bag on the sofa, took off his leather gloves and fur coat, listened to the music and said, "This is Yikun's favorite song." "It's his." Xia Yingjie turned off the tape recorder and said, "This tape has a history from Shanghai to Jiangzhou, from Beijing to Hainan. I brought it with me when I went abroad this time. I'll listen to it when I think about it." "I'm here today for two things." Ye Hongjun took out a dozen Chinese publications from his bag and said, "These are the latest issues of European countries, and I'll send them to you. In addition, I'm here to raise donations again." "Going to beg again?" Xia Yingjie was surprised, "It's been less than a month since I came to Rome, and I've already donated twice." Ye Hongjun was also a little embarrassed, and explained: "The first time was to donate funds to the Overseas Chinese Federation in Rome, the second time was to donate funds to the domestic student aid project, and this time it was for the Spring Festival Gala. I am a voluntary member of the Spring Festival activity group For the committee, not only the money but also the efforts, there must be a group of people to handle this matter." Xia Yingjie suddenly realized that the Spring Festival was coming again.Counting this year, she has been away from her parents for two Spring Festivals, and this time, even Song Yikun can't be with her.She felt sad for a while, homesick, and Song Yikun.She paused for a while and said, "It's all about the Chinese people, of course we should contribute. Let's follow the previous method, you decide the amount of donation." "I think you can take a hundred dollars." Ye Hongjun said, "raising donations has always been an embarrassing thing, and my friends should be more supportive." Xia Yingjie took one hundred dollars and handed it to Ye Hongjun, saying, "You came just in time. If you have time tonight, I would like to ask you to accompany me to visit an old Taiwanese overseas Chinese. Jiang Wei has accompanied me three times. Nail, she said she would never go there again, but I'm still not reconciled." "Who is this person?" Ye Hongjun asked. "Mr. Shi Tianwen from Barton Hotel." "Him?" Ye Hongjun shook his head and said, "You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Shi never accepts interviews." "This is an old man who should not be forgotten." Xia Yingjie said, "My book may be finished in May, and I must prepare for the next book early. I only heard a little about Shi Tianwen's story sporadically, and I was moved Sad again. If the story is complete and the background material is sufficient, I would like to write a non-fiction novel." Regarding Shi Tianwen, there are some legends about Shi Tianwen in the Chinese community in Rome. It is said that he was so majestic and full of people;Back then, some people made him an official and crowned him, and some people knelt and kowtowed to him.However, when he fell ill and his wealth was gone, he immediately became a lonely stranger who no one cares about. "Writing Shi Tianwen, there is no problem with readability." Ye Hongjun said, "Now there is a question, whether Mr. Shi can receive you. I have been in Rome for several years, and I heard that many people went to interview him, but None of them worked. You have to consider the human background." "But first of all he is a person, a Chinese." Xia Yingjie said a little excitedly, "Shi Tianwen's life background is Italy, without any official background. I hope to write about this old man from the perspective of personality." Ye Hongjun said: "If this is the case, you can definitely write about Yikun's sister Song Baoying. Isn't her story moving?" Xia Yingjie said: "If I were to write about Sister Baoying's deeds, no matter how true the writing is, it would be spoiled, and it would easily cause misunderstandings." "You're about to graduate from Yikun's school." Ye Hongjun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to try my luck. However, you have to accompany me to collect donations first, so that I don't have to come to pick you up .” So, Xia Yingjie left a note for Jiang Wei, took his coat and followed Ye Hongjun downstairs. Ye Hongjun drove that old car to all the restaurants in the district, fulfilling his duties seriously, and most people were willing to donate money for their national festivals.However, there were also embarrassing times, when Ye Hongjun entered the door, he was thrown by the shopkeeper: "Here again?" Finally, he put the money into his hand with a cold face, which was completely a way to send off beggars. Sitting in the car, Xia Yingjie sighed, "You're asking for trouble. I really didn't realize that you still have such a high awareness." "Human, it's a job anyway." Ye Hongjun drove the car and said, "I heard that Jiang Wei's work is not going well, and she hasn't made a deal yet." "Yikun said that as long as Jiang Wei doesn't make a big mistake." After Xia Yingjie finished speaking, he changed the subject and said, "I see that you care about Jiang Wei, do you have any ideas? I can still help with this a little." "This is not a joke." Ye Hongjun blushed and said, "I am now almost like a lost dog. I have no roots and no roots, and I can't think about anything." Xia Yingjie said: "I think you are just like Fang Ziyun, too difficult to serve." At this time, the car passed by the gate of the Rome Foreign Affairs Police Station. Xia Yingjie saw hundreds of Chinese sitting quietly in front of the gate, so he asked, "Brother Ye, what are they doing?" "Protest against the Italian police for delaying the Chinese people's residence application and visa extension." Ye Hongjun said, "Many Chinese's residence period is only one year, and the police often delay the approval of extension applications for more than half a year, and some have no news for a year. , work and life will be troubled.” "Why is this so?" "Why?" Ye Hongjun supported the steering wheel and shook his head, "You are writing a novel about women's equal rights. This theme is both solemn and absurd. Looking at the world, when will there ever be equality between strong and weak countries, between rich and poor countries? There is no equality between nations, and there are still differences between men and men. How can we talk about equality between men and women? Even if it is men and women, you, Xia Yingjie, are sitting in the car with those men at the gate of the police station Can it be equal? ​​Can the daughter of the president be equal to the father of a girl who is out of school? In this world, where can you find equality?" "So, my topic selection was redundant?" Xia Yingjie asked. "That's not true." Ye Hongjun said, "Culture, since ancient times, there have been two kinds of academic type and practical type. Living according to the academic type will lead to bloodshed. Writing books according to the practical type is a crime. Can People who find a balance between the two are often called wily by society." Xia Yingjie said, "I have been unable to ask a question. It seems that today is an opportunity. Can you tell me honestly, how did you get us in during the most stringent period of Italy's immigration policy? How much did it cost?" Ye Hongjun focused on driving, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You shouldn't ask this embarrassing question. I can only answer you like this. You don't have to regard me as a purely good person, and I don't dare to flaunt myself like this." "I'm sorry, let's talk about something else." Xia Yingjie said, "According to Chinese publications, the Italian police equate the Chinese with the Mafia. The Italian Mafia is famous all over the world, and everyone knows it. Can the Chinese Gang really be equated with the Mafia?" "Joke." Ye Hongjun said, "I understand what you want to know, but you overestimated me." Therefore, Ye Hongjun introduced some general information about the "Mafia" to Xia Yingjie—— The Italian Mafia, also known as Mafia, dates back to the sixteenth century.Its organizations are almost all over the world, with both illegal operations and legal investments.Illegal transactions include assassination, drug trafficking, counterfeit banknotes, arms, bribery, smuggling, money laundering, and more.Some people say: the thirteenth member state of the European Community is Mafia.This shows its economic strength and political power.In recent years, Maffia has assassinated many Italian judges, the most famous incidents are: Livatino in 1990, Falconi in 1992 and Bercellino in the same year, who specifically dealt with mafia Party judges were murdered. Mafia has long been a "parallel government" in Italy, and some people even suggested that because the current Italian government is incompetent, it is better to invite Mafia to form a cabinet government. Because of its high efficiency, it may manage the country better than the current government. Winners and losers, this is the eternal law of human beings. Ye Hongjun said: "Mafia is well-organized and disciplined, which is different from ordinary underworld gangs. There are also many gangs in European and American Chinese societies, but they are far from comparable. I set up a small information company in Rome. It is not worth mentioning that it is limited to serving the Chinese community and living by matchmaking. Surviving through intermediaries, the social relationship is naturally more complicated, but the business organizations that contact Italians are very limited, and no one has engraved words on their faces, even if it is true. You won’t even know it when you come into contact with Mafia.” Xia Yingjie smiled lightly and said, "In any case, Jiang Wei and I entered Rome at the most impossible time and in the most impossible way." The car drove to the Rome Chinese Federation Hall, and Ye Hongjun handed over the money raised to the relevant personnel, and it was almost dark when he came out.Then they drove to Barton's store. Compared with the Chinese restaurants that came from behind, the Barton Restaurant looks old in decoration, but the luxury and grandeur of thirty years ago can be vaguely seen, and the scenery of the past can be vaguely reminiscent. After getting off the car, Xia Yingjie opened the door and walked into the restaurant like the previous three times. However, without her needing to explain why she came, an Italian woman politely and firmly "bombed" her out in standard English. Ma'am, because the same thing happened repeatedly, she and Xia Yingjie have become "acquaintances". Xia Yingjie stood helplessly at the door, but she was not impatient or disappointed. She said to Mrs. Shi in English friendly: "I'm sorry, but I'll come again." Who is Liu Dongyang?God knows. However, the product is real, the patent certificate and authoritative certification are real, the capital investment of two million yuan is real, the entire building is chartered and more than one hundred employees are recruited. The company's business license, tax registration certificate, production license, registered trademark... are all real. Therefore, there is no need to verify whether Liu Dongyang is true or not. Yunyang Seasoning Utensils Co., Ltd. is located in Xicheng District, Anhe City. It occupies an old office building of a public institution. The contract lease period is 15 years, and the annual rent is 200,000 yuan, which increases by 5% every year. , the rent for the whole year is paid in advance on January 1st of each year. The building is divided into three units.The first unit near the main entrance of the compound is the office, the second unit is the finished product warehouse and staff dormitory, and the third unit is the production workshop.On the top of the building, there is a row of eye-catching golden characters welded with steel: Yunyang Seasoning Utensils Co., Ltd. Fang Ziyun only organized a demonstration production in the company for more than a week, and then left Sichuan with two public relations personnel, and was active in Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other provinces. Establish new authorized sales outlets. Those who win the Central Plains win the world. Advertisements of Fang’s health-care seasoning balls swept across the Central Plains in various forms, and radiated to the whole country through satellite TV advertisements. People can see a beautiful housewife saying to consumers on TV and newspapers every day. : Convenience for me alone, health care for the whole family. With the advantages of convenience, health care, colorless and tasteless, the product quickly occupied the market with exquisite packaging and first-class advertising design, and 12,000 test samples were sold out in the special counters of 35 large shopping malls in an instant. .In just over a month, the company signed 140 supply contracts with major shopping malls, and the total number of orders was more than 800,000. The situation is very good, the future is bright, and the company is excited.Especially the gentlemen and ladies in the leadership, they have a foreboding of the future business scale with their quick minds, and they naturally see the criticality of their own period from the development process of "Wahaha" from a big pot to a group company. Now that you are lucky enough to get on this bus, you must secure your seat and wait for the tide to rise. However, "Yunyang Seasoning Utensils Co., Ltd." does not have the equipment capacity for large-scale production at all, and only stays in the product test stage for simple production. There are two weakest links, one is the synthesis of special production materials, and the other is Polishing and refining of semi-finished products.The company lost the balance between production and marketing from the very beginning. In fact, whether the market situation is good or not, and whether the order quantity is large or not, is not important to Liu Dongyang, because even if the situation is not good, he will still fabricate a hot scene. Regarding the two weak links in the production process, he had already established a set of policies. Behind Fang Ziyun's back, he personally purchased 100 tons of low-quality steel to replace special synthetic materials, and solved the problem of polishing and refining semi-finished products by increasing the number of polishing machines. . Each complete seasoning ball is composed of two parts that are matched with threads. All the small holes are drilled from the outside to the inside by a special punching machine. Although the appearance of the ball is smooth, the inner wall is full of burrs. , If the burr is not polished, the user cannot clean it at all, and it will inevitably stab or cut the finger.The simple processing method is: a small electric grinder is fixed on the workbench of each worker, and the inner circle of the semi-finished product is polished. And that creates a problem: noise. The production speed of stamping and punching is to produce one semi-finished product per second, while the manual polishing speed of each polishing machine is to produce one finished product every five minutes, which is very different.When the number of grinding machines increased to one stage, it became an unbearably loud noise, and every worker had to plug his earholes with cotton balls to work. Noise has become the biggest public nuisance in this area, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction among nearby residents, and the neighboring units have also complained greatly. That night, the company building was quiet, only the conference room was still lit. Liu Dongyang called the main management personnel to study production problems.Attending the meeting were Yang Jianfeng, the deputy manager in charge of production, and six people including the director of the office, the financial supervisor, and the manager's secretary. Liu Dongyang said: "Today we only discuss one issue, noise. I would like to ask everyone, how long can this production method last? Do you want to continue production?" The financial manager is a dignified and quiet middle-aged lady. She said: "Our current actual daily output is 5,000 pieces, and we will lose at least 10,000 yuan in net profit for one day if we stop production, while advertising expenses, wages and other miscellaneous expenses remain the same. If you have to pay, the number will be large anyway. Therefore, my opinion is that we must not stop production unless it is absolutely necessary." 办公室主任说：“噪音问题，环保部门和新闻单位随时都可能出面干预，被迫停产已经不可避免了，这时候再抱幻想我看不太现实，我们应该拿出一套可行的应变措施，避免在新闻界引起是非，避免企业形象受到损害。” 副经理杨剑锋是位刚近出大学校门不久的小伙子，理论知识有一套，但是缺乏社会经验。他是诚心要干一番事业的，对刘东阳聘用他并且委以重任一直心怀感激。此时他发言道： “我认为，停产是不可取的，损失太大。最近我一直在考虑这个问题，我认为最现实的方法是把噪音化整为零分解掉，分散在远离城市的农村地区。如果我们把寻求加工客户的广告打出来，相信会给附近居民一个定心丸，也能在环保部门和新闻媒介面前争取一个高姿态，或许还能维持一段生产，直到与分散加工接轨。” 财务主管立刻说：“现在每只半成品的加工费是三角，如果分散加工，这个加工费不会有人接受。再说，磨光车间的一百名工人怎么办？” 杨副经理答道：“多余的工人当然要辞掉，同时适当提高加工费，两项相抵我们的损失不会太大，至少比停产可取。” 经理秘书也是一位小伙子，他说：“如果那样的话，我们有三分之二的房子都要闲置，可以转租出去，增加一项收人来源。” 刘东阳似乎是在认真地听，其实他只用了一半的心思，另一半的心思在感叹他的幕后指挥者叶红军料事如神，他只不过是按照程序行事。他哪里知道，幕后之中还有一个幕后。 刘东阳见时机差不多了，便说：“我和方副经理千里迢迢来到四J；I，不是开做坊的，是要干一番事业。从发展眼光看，我们的房子不是多了，而是少了，转租房子实属小家子之举，绝对不可以。” 他喝了一口水，接着说：“分散加工的事剑锋向我谈过不止一次了，我也做过认真的考虑，原则上讲，在正规生产流水线没有建成以前，剑锋的方案是可行的。但是，不能急于打广告征寻加工客户，一定要等到环保部门和新闻单位干预以后，否则，我们没有正当的理由辞退工人，一旦打起官司，无论根据用工合同还是根据劳动保护法，我们都站不住脚，必须借助外界的压力形成合理合法的理由。” “对呀，”秘书讨好地说，“还是刘经理看问题全面，那样一来工人就无话可说了。” 刘东阳设理他，继续说：“关于加工费，我建议每只定为两元，不忍痛割点向，不足以吸引合作者。我关心的是市场，暂时赔钱也要占领市杨，不能失信于经销商，不能失信于消费者。至于每只半成品的保证金，我们按物价部门核定的成本价一律定为六元，不得多收。” 杨剑锋问：“够上签合同的最低基数定为多少？” 刘东阳说：“我们有一百台磨光机，那就一万只半成品配一台，以这个为合同基数，多者不限，发完为止。另外，为使客户放心交纳成本保证金，每份合同都要经过公证。广告词请你们大家下点功夫。” “一百万只，”财务主管心疼地说，“每只加工费两元，我们就要损失一百多万元的利润，太可惜了。” “但是你没有算另一笔账。”刘东阳说，“我们可以利用六百万元中的一部分建一条现代化的生产线，再用生产线作抵押从银行贷款向加工客户周转，这样一来我们公司就活了，就能高速度发展。在这个基础上，就是资金短缺也是有限的，我完全有办法通过私人关系解决。” 办公室主任点头赞许道：“这着棋我看不错，一举三得。” 刘东阳说：“下一步的工作分为三路，方副经理的工作不变，我出去走走，选择一家合适的机械制造厂订做专用生产线。家里的工作由杨副经理全面负责，轿车也给你们留下，场面的应酬方便些。对于我的建议，有不同意见吗？” "No." "No." 大家都表了态。 “我明天就启程。”刘东阳笑笑，说，“那么，剑锋就得留在家里当替罪羊了，不管是环保部门还是新闻单位，都得你一个人挡着。记住，声势越大越好，能达到辞退工人的目的就行。否则，一个月拿出四五万来养着这些人，谁也受不了。” 杨剑锋说：“刘经理放心，我一定把家里的事情办好。再说，如果电视曝光的话，怎么也不能让刘经理上这样的镜头。我相信，总有一天刘经理会以企业家的形象出现在电视里。” “托你的吉言了。”刘东阳笑道。 会议就这样结束了，刘东阳不动声色地将事态引向了自己所期望的轨道。 刘东阳走了，带着秘书“考察”去了。公司的工作由杨剑锋全面负责，噪音问题虽然给公司带来了麻烦，却给他个人带来了一次充分表现自己的机会。 就在刘东阳离开安河市的第三天上午，电视台记者一行五人来到云阳调味器皿有限公司，针对噪音问题对公司进行现场采访。 每一个磨光工序的操作工都清楚，公司停产对他们将意味着什么。这些来自贫困地区的民工们大多缺乏法律意识，文化素质较低，他们出于自身利益的考虑，本能地对记者采访抱有抵触情绪，于是自发地对记者进行了围堵、阻拦，场面渐渐开始出现混乱，个别民工还做出了一些过激的举动，甚至将记者手中的话筒打落，将记者推倒在地。 一时，公司大楼前乱成一团。 扩大事端正好符合总经理的意图。副经理杨剑锋看在眼里喜在心上，他文质彬彬地挤在人群中象征性地劝阻了一下闹事以民工，随后指使手下人向公安机关打电话报警。 十几分钟后，两辆警车鸣着警笛冲进公司院内，几名警察从车内跳出维持秩序。与此同时，环保部门的工作人员也赶到现场。电视摄像机将所发生的一切全部记录下来。 事态真的闹大了。 秩序稍有好转，杨剑锋在磨光车间的人群中接受记者采访。 记者：“请问，你们总经理为何一直不肯露面？是否有意回避？” 杨剑锋：“刘经理三天前就离开安河去考察了，专门为了选择一家合适的机械制造厂订做专用生产线。在这里我有必要解释一下，刘经理对噪音问题一官非常重视，三天前专门召开会议，明确指示停止生产，直到新的生产线投入使用。刘经理走后公司的事务由我全面负责，我在侥幸心理的驱使下没有及时执行公司决议，因为近百万只订货对谁都是一个不小的压力。所以，对今大的后果我应该负责任。我代表公司对附近受到噪音干扰的居民表示道歉，对今天受到围攻记者道歉，并诚心接受环保、工两、公安等部门的处罚。” 记者：“我们注意到杨副经理试图阻止民工闹事，并且及时派人打电话报警。但是对于噪音问题，我们希望公司能对附近居民有一个明确的表态和具体的解释，保证附近居民的正常生活不再受到干扰。” 杨剑锋：“我代表公司向附近居民保证今后不再发生噪音干扰居民生活的事情，同时也借此机会向订货商保证，我们一定信守合同，按时交货。” 记者：“你们准备采取什么措施？” 杨剑锋：“在正规化生产线没有建成之前，我们将根据磨光工序的生产特点，制定一个阶段性的应变措施，不惜出高价，不惜亏本，从边远地区广泛征寻加工伙伴，将噪音化整为零，分解到远离闹市的农村偏僻地区。目前这个方案正在研究之中，很快就能付诸实施。我们的原则是，不管付出多大代价，不能失信于客户，不能放弃市场。” 记者：“民工对记者采访有抵触情绪，担心噪音问题曝光后公司被迫停产会失去工作。分解噪音的方法是否意味着民工仍有获得工作的机会？” 杨剑锋：“这要取决于每个民工是否有能力交纳一笔最低基数的产品信誉保证金。对于因停产而被迫辞退的工人，有两点我想说明一下，首先是征寻加工伙伴，如果他们当中有人应征，将优先获得合作机会。其次，将来生产线建成后，他们当中如果有人愿意回来，将优先被录用。从公司的愿望说，公司不到万不得已是不会辞退工人的，这也是公司没有及时停产的原因之一，相信他们能够理解。” 当天，环保部门和公安机关分别对云阳调味器皿有限公司作出处罚，两项罚款合计一万六千元。当晚，卫星电视在《社会焦点》栏目里对噪音问题进行了曝光和评论，而与此同时，方氏保健调味球的广告依然准时出现在同一个电视频道上，构成了一幅独特的景观。几天后，报纸也上演了与电视相同的一幕，广告与曝光同时出现在一张报纸上。 杨剑锋抓住时机，有理有节地将一百名磨光工人全部辞退，跟着在卫星电视和地方报纸上同时打出征寻加工伙伴的广告，广告词不但说明了公证、合理而又优厚的合作条件，还特别说明了寻求合作的原因。 尽管社会上的广告信息让人眼花燎乱，尽管新闻媒介不断有假广告骗局事件的报道，然而人们对云阳调味器皿有限公司的广告却深信不疑，因为云阳公司一切的一切都太真实了，其规格档次都决非小做坊可比，无论电视广告还是电视曝光，人们从屏幕上看到的和听到的只能得出一个结论：云阳公司是一家具有相当规模和广阔前景的实实在在的企业。 于是，合作的人们来了，想借此踏踏实实挣钱的人们来了从山沟里。从村庄里，来到安河市云阳公司，在法律机关的公证下，放心地交出钱，放心地运走半成品。 杨剑锋没有辜负总经理的期望，很好地完成了公司的既定计划，不但将噪音分解出去了，而且收取了六百二十万元的信誉保证金。 而就在这个时候，刘东阳“考察”回来了，而且还带来了沈阳一家颇有知名度的机械制造厂的三位工程师，来云阳公司参观，为设计新的生产工艺做准备。 此举，无疑又是一种麻醉剂，目的在于麻醉公司管理层的人员。而巨款已经到手，这场骗局距离落幕的时刻已经不远了。 云阳公司又上卫星电视了。 这次出大事了。 当方子云的两位女助手急匆匆来到他的客房告诉他一个惊人消息的时候，方子云正灵感来潮，伏在卧室的写字台前创作一首诗，他右手拿着钢笔，左手夹着香烟，一缕烟雾在柔和的灯光里升腾。这首诗的名字叫《塑像的代价》，只有十行—— 我时常想哭 用空，换取瞬间的解脱 而泪，却从不流落 上帝从不宽容弱者 上帝只承认结局而从不问为什么 当活着的责任战胜了死亡的诱惑 当活着不仅仅是活着 尊严告诉我 被鄙视 原来比死，更加残忍，深刻 方子云对这首诗还不太满意，总觉得要表达的意思还没有鲜明地表达出来，正用心作进一步修改。 郑州，是他活动的第五个城市，每到一个城市他所从事的工作都只有两个——策划广告宣传和建立特约经销点。尽管他对生意上的事不太精通，但他的工作性质是往外花钱，所以比较容易。另外，他的两位助手都是高薪聘请的专业人才，具体事务都由她们去做，基本上不用他操心，他只是听汇报，把握大方向，必要时应酬一下场面上的事。所以，他既没有负担也不感到紧张，更多的时间是呆在客房里看书、创作，倒也悠然自在。 两位女助手的闯入打断了方子云的思路，他放下笔，看着两位一向风度优雅的漂亮小姐皱了一下眉头说：“刘总携款逃跑了？胡说！你们两个是不是脑子出毛病了，说梦话？” 一位小姐上前打开电视机，选出所要的频道，急切地说： “大诗人，你自己看吧。” 出现在电视屏幕上的是云阳公司副总经理杨剑锋，他坐在办公室的沙发上，显得十分沮丧和紧张。他的侧面坐着两名穿制服的检察官，正面是一名女记者。 记者：刘东阳是用什么方法把那笔钱转移走的？要知道，六百万元可不是个小数目。 杨剑锋：经过是这样的，刘经理说他哥哥要注册一家中外合资企业，外资暂时不能到位，为了应付验资，希望云阳公司临时垫付七十五万美元，期限为三个月，利息为10％。当时刘经理整天陪着沈阳的三位工程师研究生产线设计，好像并没有把借款当成一回事，只是让我们办公室的几个人商量一个意见。我们开了一个碰头会，决定借这笔钱。 记者：“为什么要借钱出去？” 杨剑锋：当时我们有四个考虑。第一，他是老板，借钱的又是他哥哥，担不担风险是他们自己的事，与我们这些雇员没关系。第二，这件事他自己完全可以决定，给人的感觉是他在有意试探我们对他是否忠心，所以我们都想表现一下。第三，借期三个月，并不影响云阳公司四个月以后的资金使用，如果放弃了变死钱为活钱的增值机会，怕被经理认为没有经济头脑、没魄力，对自己的处境不利。第四，改造旧工艺，建立新的生产线，云阳公司的资金肯定不够，刘经理计划从他两个哥哥那里解决资金不足问题，如果得罪了他们，那么生产线的事就可能办不成了。 记者：计划中的生产线主要解决哪些问题？它的建成与否对你们雇员有哪些影响？ 杨剑锋：生产线主要解决噪音、效率和劳动强度三个问题。 分散加工是不得已的临时措施，公司几乎没有利润，或者可能赔钱，所以不可能长期坚持。如果没有新生产线上马，我们这些雇员可能面临失业。 记者：请你具体谈谈这笔钱失踪的经过，是谁经办的？在什么地方失踪的？ 杨剑锋：根据刘经理的指示，我和会计具体经办，将资金打到外汇市场，兑换出七十五万美元，装进一只黑色皮箱里。我和会计陪着他乘火车到北京，住在北京饭店。他一个人乘出租车回家送钱，从此就失踪了。我和会计等了整整两天，后来实在不放心，就按他身份证上的地址去找他，找到地址后刘东阳的家人说刘东阳几年前就死了，身份证早就丢了。我们这才感到出事了，赶快往深圳三阳房地产公司打电话询问，据查号台答复，深圳根本没有三阳房地产公司这个企业。在这种情况下，我们只好向安河市检察院报案了。 记者：到现在为止，你作为云阳调味器皿有限公司的副经理，你怎么看待这件事？ 杨剑锋：我当时被槁糊涂了，回到安河以后也没搞明白，不能理解这件事。方氏保健调味球非常有发展远景，生产线建成以后，也许一年就能盈利六百万，没必要毁掉一个企业。 记者：据检察院证实，你们公司发放出去的一百多万只半成品，所用原料不是合成金属，而是劣质铁，其成本只是合成原料的十分之一。这个情况你事先知不知道？ 杨剑锋：这件事是刘经理一手经办的，除他本人之外，没有人知道。会计看到的是发票，我看到的是原料和合格证，谁也不会去怀疑刘经理会对自己的企业做假，都知道他是一个财大气粗的人。如果说这个企业从注册那天起就是一个大骗局，那太令人不可思议了。 记者：在这个骗局中，你认为你个人应该负哪些责任？你们管理人员应该负哪些责任？ 杨剑锋：不知道。我不认为我们雇员应该负什么责任，如果法律确认我们有责任，我也只好认命了，但我还是不知道应该吸取什么教训，也许是因为一切太真实了，也许是因为骗子太高明了。 这时，电视画面切换到一位四十多岁的检察官身上，并且打出一行字幕：安河市检察院检察长刘国忠。 记者：刘检察长，针对这起发生在我市的特大诈骗案，请你给我们的电视观众谈一些情况。 刘检察长：这起诈骗案，预谋之周密、诈骗金额之大。受害人之多，在我们安河市还是首例，省市领导都非常重视，我们也成立了专案侦破组，配备了强大的警力，一定要追查到底。我们已经进行了多方面的布署，侦破工作全面展开，根据我们所掌握的情况，受害人共有八十三人，全部是农民，有相当一部分是贫困地区的农民，被骗金额是六百二十万人民币，其中二十万还留在账号上，这也是罪犯迷惑人的手段之一。 记者：罪犯投入几百万元的资金，这么大的骗局，罪犯有没有可能一个人完成？ 刘检察长：从无效的身份证，假三阳房地产公司和伪造的各种证明来看，预谋犯罪已确定无疑，从策划、筹资到实施，由一个人完成几乎是不可能的，但现在还不能最后下结论。显然，这是一起高智商犯罪，罪犯从一开始就做好了反侦察的准备，这给侦破工作增加了难度。 记者：据说这个公司的部分销售人员还在外地处于工作状态，这是否意味着公司仍有继续经营下去的可能性？是否意味着这个公司仍有责任能力？ 刘检察长：在允许新闻媒介报道之前，我们有意识地对公司的一部分人封锁了消息，这是出于侦破工作的考虑，并不意味着这个公司仍有责任能力。事实上，公司除了几台简易设备和办公用品之外，已经一无所有了，因为大楼和轿车是他们租用的，并不拥有产权。所以，受骗的农民有可能蒙受损失。 记者：据我们了解，受骗农民与云阳公司签定的加工合同全部是经过公证的，也就是说是真实、合法、有效的，那么公证机关是否负有连带责任？ 刘检察长：公证不是担保，它只认定合同的真实、合法和法律约束力。据我们了解，所有合同的公证内容和程序都是合法的，公证本身没有问题。截止目前，我们已经做了大量工作，我们是要一查到底的。借此机会，我们正告犯罪分子，要认清形势，丢掉幻想，为自己的争取一点主动。 记者：各位观众，谢谢您收看《法制热线》节目。对于这起广大市民普遍关注的特大诈骗案，我们以后还将做追踪报道，请您注意收看。goodbye. “终于下手了。”方子云心想。 他脸色苍白，手脚冰凉，呆呆地站在电视机前，脑子里顿时乱做一团。投入两百万元去设一个骗局，手笔之大，构思之严，决非等闲之辈可为。而六百万元，对于那些蒙受重大损失的农民将意味着什么？将会引发什么恶性后果？他不敢去设想。总之，事情闹大了。 震惊之余，求生的本能使他必须去考虑自身的安全。根据电视报道的内容分析，他一直处在检察机关的监视之下，他与安河的电话联系一直处在侦破人员的控制之下，云阳公司一切运作正常的信息都是假的，是为了稳住他、试探他、观察他。他知道，自己是安全的，否则检察机关不会允许电视报道，也就是说，对他已经不需要再封锁消息了。他又想起了宋一坤曾经给他规定的事项—— 你的行为准则是：合情、合理、合法。从今天起，你的任何活动都必须能够说得清楚，无论从时间、地点。人证、物证等各方面都不得留下模糊不清的空白，都必须是真实的、坦然的。 对于以后发生的事情你不必推测，顺其
