Chapter 68 Chapter Seventeen (3)
Zhong Yuemin laughed loudly: "I remembered, you also shouted to call the White House in the United States back then."
"I declare that I didn't invent this. I don't know which buddy wrote the first poem called "To the Warriors of the Third World War". A comrade-in-arms died on the steps of the White House before dawn. This plot may be an imitation of the Soviet film "The Capture of Berlin". I admit that this long poem made my blood boil at the time, and I followed it for a while. I was in When I was studying in the United States, I visited the White House.
When I was on the steps, I thought of this long poem, thinking that this is the place we dreamed of back then, not to visit, but to fight.So, no matter which race you are, human beings have something in common. An illusory thing can make your blood boil, make you irrational, and even make you a thug. "
Zhong Yuemin said: "If you have this kind of understanding, it seems that Harvard has not been in vain. To be honest, I have a lot of opinions on you Japanese. Since doing business is your opponent, you will easily suffer if you don't understand your opponent. What's more, you Japanese are in history. It has a lot of bad records, and has done a lot of things to support grandchildren. Not to mention, in recent years, many Chinese companies have suffered a lot when importing Japanese equipment. They either shoddy or sold some outdated equipment at high prices. Or it is to set a trap first, sell equipment at a low price, and sell spare parts at a high price. I have heard too many of these tricks, so I have to find the reason from history and look at the problem from the perspective of nationality."
"So what's your conclusion?"
"The conclusion is that if I have to do business with the Japanese, I have to have a clear understanding. First of all, they are all pragmatists through and through. As for principles and morals, they are subject to interests. For example, after the end of World War II, Japan During the occupation, in order to reduce the chances of U.S. soldiers raping Japanese women, your government specially established brothels for U.S. soldiers to entertain, and sacrificed the chastity of a few women in exchange for the chastity of most Japanese women. This makes me very opinionated. Yamato Nation Where did all the bloody spirit go? In a war, your kamikaze team members can fly planes and hit enemy warships. What kind of courage is this? But once the battle is defeated, the bloody spirit of the Yamato nation will disappear without a trace. There are many peoples, five-foot-tall men are as tall as a forest, but a few women have to bear the humiliation of defeat, while the men are all shrunken. Why is this happening? Because if they are defeated, they should be at the mercy of the occupying army? The Yamato people respect the strong, and they are willing to bow their heads and ears in front of the strong. On the contrary, they put on a domineering face towards the weak, and they also have some inexplicable sense of racial superiority. This is typical pragmatism, and I am right. Bar?"
Masaki Takehara listened with a smile on his face at first, but the more he listened, his face became more gloomy. Obviously, Zhong Yuemin's harsh words hurt his national self-esteem, so he was silent for a while before he spoke: "Zhong Yuemin, you are going too far, you Don't forget, the person standing in front of you is a Japanese."
Zhong Yuemin sneered: "I know, I can't talk to others." He turned around and picked up his automatic rifle and fired another burst of rapid fire at the chest ring target in the distance. When Xia turned around, he saw Masaki Wuyuan narrowing his eyes and staring at him, and Zhong Yuemin also looked at him with a smile.The two looked at each other for a while, and Wuyuan Masaki suddenly smiled: "Yuemin, you are still the same. I remember that you were so aggressive at the Shichahai Ice Rink back then."
Zhong Yuemin smiled and said: "Weidong, you have changed a lot. In the past, you fought decisively and fiercely, regardless of the consequences, but seldom used your brains. Now you are a bit more strategic. On the surface, you look pleasant, but in your heart you really want to Beat me up, don't you?"
Masaki Takehara smiled faintly: "Yuemin, you are from a soldier, I am from a student, I am a scholar and I met a soldier today. No wonder, after all, you and I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, and we don't know each other very well. Your wariness I can understand, do you think this is good, you can think about the cooperation again, let's talk about it some time."
"Okay, I'll think about it."
"Then I'll go first, goodbye!" Masaki Takehara stopped after walking a few steps, turned around and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, a friend of mine opened a martial arts gym and taught karate, and I sometimes go there too Have fun, are you interested?"
Zhong Yuemin said with a smile: "I said you have a lot of eyes. If you have thought about tricks, just say so. Why are you so polite? All right, let's go play someday."
Ning Wei is very busy these days. He transferred the restaurant to others at a low price, rented two offices in an office building, and purchased office supplies such as computers and fax machines. He just waited to get the company's business license. It's open for business.Ning Wei is still very clear about running a company and doing business, and about how capable he is.He was born in a worker's family and had no background in society. He found that the society in front of him was very strange. After the reform and opening up, life has become dazzling and bizarre, and society is increasingly showing diversity and complexity.Due to personal experience, Ning Wei has no social resources other than a few comrades from Beijing. This is extremely unfavorable for business operations. The reason why he plans to start a company is actually relying on Zhong Yuemin. On the big tree, he is well aware of the active energy of this old company commander. Many things that Ning Wei thinks are out of reach, Zhong Yuemin may be able to solve them with a phone call. He has been a soldier under Zhong Yuemin for so many years, but he doesn't understand Who is this company commander?
Ning Wei only has a junior high school education, and has not developed the habit of reading and studying for many years. He does not have the ability to think independently. For people like Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin, he only vaguely feels that they belong to a special circle. The circle seems invisible but very tight, and outsiders cannot blend in. Even if you are rich, don't let them accept you.
Ning Wei's requirements for life are not very high, he only hopes to live a moderately prosperous life, he doesn't even dare to think about the position of manager of a large company like Zhong Yuemin, and he knows that he is not capable of it.He hoped that after his company opened, Zhong Yuemin would give him a few businesses at random, and he would be able to initiate them.He believed that the old company commander would not ignore his little brother. Wu Mantun was an example. Didn't Zhong Yuemin and Zhang Haiyang have been sending money to Wu Mantun's parents all these years?Although they don't belong to the same circle as him, they are comrades-in-arms who have gone through the test of life and death after all. Ning Wei believes that they are all emotional people.
Ning Wei’s registered capital for applying for a business license has passed the capital verification, and he will be able to get the business license soon. He plans to go to Zhong Yuemin’s house tonight and return the loan of 500,000 yuan to Zhong Yuemin, although the repayment date is not yet , but it’s better to be early than late. This is credibility. This is the first time I ask Brother Zhong, and I should give him the impression of keeping his credibility.
Ning Wei came out from the gate of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, put on his helmet, and started the motorcycle.
A man riding a "Suzuki" 125 motorcycle parked beside him, took off his helmet and said, "Is it Ning Wei?"
Ning Wei immediately remembered that this person was Hu Dapeng, a middle school classmate nicknamed "Hammer".Back then, Hu Dapeng's family was very poor, and after school he had to pick coal and waste paper.Ning Wei has also seen him pushing a flatbed cart with bearings as wheels, and baskets of rotten paper on it. This is similar to the skateboards played by fashionable teenagers today, but the noise is a bit louder when sliding.He was always looking at the big-character posters just pasted up by others. As long as no one was paying attention, Hammer would quickly tear the posters off to sell waste paper, and sometimes he would steal a few pieces of honeycomb briquettes stacked at the door of the people on the street.The Cultural Revolution brought bad luck to many well-known people, but for people like Hammer, it might still be good news. Few people thought that those big-character posters filled with nonsense actually supported many people. At least Hammer By picking up bad paper after school, the poor life can be improved to a certain extent.
Ning Wei smiled and shook hands with him: "Yo, Hammer, we haven't seen each other for some years, how are you?"
Hammer is a short man, about 1.65 meters tall. He used to be very thin. I haven’t seen him for so many years. He has obviously gained weight. It seems that he has long since gotten rid of poverty and lived a pretty good life. It’s just that it’s funny for a short person to gain weight , the body became olive-shaped.The hammer said loudly: "It's okay, I'm still alive, Ning Wei, aren't you a soldier?"
"I've already been demobilized."
Hammer said: "It's really boring. At school, you were wearing big red flowers and new military uniforms. You were so awesome. My buddies envied you at the time, thinking that all of you were generals. What's the matter? After a few years of being a big soldier, is he still demobilized?"
Ning Wei said: "Nonsense, how many people can be generals."
Hammer raised his wrist to look at his watch, and then suggested: "How many years have we not seen our old classmates? Find a place to sit and catch up."
"Okay, sit down and sit down."
Hammer brought Ning Wei into a coffee shop. After the two sat down, Hammer raised his legs, called the waiter, and snapped his fingers proudly: "Two cups of Italian black coffee, and some sweetener." He After dismissing the waiter, he turned his head and explained to Ning Wei: "Candy is not a good thing. Generally, people with a certain status don't eat candy. Don't you understand? Tell you, it's okay for poor people to eat candy. Anyway, he can't eat or drink, he lacks all kinds of nutrients, to put it bluntly, he can carry the loess for a few days when he is hungry, but the rich can't do it, he sucks the bird's nest and shark's fin all day long, and doesn't work Son, nutrition is stored in the stomach and cannot be shaken out, so you have to be careful when eating. Look at my stomach and body fat, can you not pay attention? Blood sugar and blood lipids are going up, the doctor said, take care This is diabetes. I didn’t know what diabetes was at the time, and I broke out in a cold sweat as soon as I asked about it. Let’s put it this way, don’t get this disease if you have diabetes. Yi'er can't stand up anymore, she wants to pick up girls, it's useless, I don't know about others, anyway, if I fail, those girls around me will eat me up."
Ning Weile said: "Hammer, you have a lot of hobbies, you are the only one who still picks up girls..."
"Hey, don't take Wu Dalang as a god. I admit that I was a poor boy. After school, I had to pick coal nubs on the slag pile against the northwest wind. When I think of the days back then, fuck... it's hard to say, let's Ban Ma Caixia, you still remember, she was the girl who lived in Sandaowaner Hutong, do you remember? Back then, our buddies had a problem with their eyesight, anyway, in my eyes, Ma Caixia looked worse than a goddamn fairy Not going anywhere, once I had the guts to pass her a note, I can’t remember the specific content, anyway, it’s a compliment first, just like a singer now, I greet her with any nasty words, although it’s inevitable There are some typos, but this is the most literary article I have ever written in my life, and guess what? This little fairy actually posted my love letter on the blackboard in the classroom, and the whole class is like reading a big-character poster After seeing enough, I made a big fuss, and I fell to the bottom. You said what a coincidence, I ran into Ma Caixia on the street a few days ago, and I didn't recognize it at the time. I recognized it, and hurriedly asked me for the address. When I saw it, it was broken. There was definitely something wrong with my eyesight. Why did I take her for a fairy? She looks like a working girl, let alone Take a bath, that is, volunteering to be a babysitter in my house, buddies have to think about it, all the guests who come to my place have status, if people see that I have such a nanny, where will we put our old face? Let's throw it away I'm sorry for that man."
Ning Wei was a little impatient listening to his bragging. He was very busy. Although he had obtained his business license, he still had a lot of work to do. He really didn't have time to listen to Hammer's nonsense. He asked, "Hammer, it seems that you have become rich, and you speak loudly."
"Do some small business, and sometimes help friends. Last time, a buddy bought hundreds of "Crown" cars from abroad. I was detained by the customs in Hainan. Good guy, how much space do hundreds of cars take up? At that time, American satellites walked over the heads of us Chinese several times a day. When I saw the cars all over the mountains and plains, I thought it was bad. It’s probably because the Chinese army is about to liberate Taiwan. People treat these cars as tanks. Aren’t the United States and Taiwan buddies? We want to clean up Taiwan, and the Americans can’t ignore it. At that time, the US Pacific Fleet drove over seven or eight aircraft carriers at once. , more than a thousand planes, looking at this situation, they are planning to fight with us. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. We Chinese are busy collecting money at the moment, so we have no time to talk to them. Look, my buddy is messing with us How much trouble is there? Just because this car almost didn't start a world war, I can't ignore it. Is it worth fighting for this thing? Besides, it's not good to throw hundreds of cars in the wild Something happened. I had to go to Hainan to help settle this matter. My buddy told me that these cars cannot be sold in Hainan. Please help me find a way in the north. You see, I helped you in trouble, and they have blackmailed you. There is no way, they are all buddies. Does it matter? I had to get a few ro-ro ships and transport these vehicles to Tanggu Port. They were shot in Beijing and Tianjin. Did you see those "crowns" running all over the streets? It was all shot by me that time. After I was done with this matter, a friend from the Ministry of National Defense called me and said The U.S. aircraft carrier has been withdrawn. I said it’s okay to withdraw it. If you dare to commit a crime, we will destroy it. Who is afraid of who these days? Now I don’t want to do anything anymore, and I’m lazy, that is, I go abroad every day. The personnel service department walks around and spends a little foreign exchange to earn 18,000 a day, enough to eat, drink and pick up girls, and we don’t bother to earn other money.”
Ning Wei felt that Hammer's words were quite plausible. He had seen those rogue-headed foreign exchange dealers at the service department for overseas personnel, and they all looked similar to Hammer. He asked casually: "You are pouring foreign exchange, can you earn money?" money?"
"Nonsense, why would I go there if I don't earn money? What if I'm sick?"
"It looks like you're rich?"
Hammer took a deep puff of cigarette, spit out a big smoke ring towards the ceiling, and said slowly: "I really don't know what kind of life the rich man lives. Anyway, I get up at eleven o'clock every day, dress up and have lunch. After dinner, I went for a walk at the entrance of the overseas personnel service department. Earning money is secondary. We have to digest food, then take a sauna, steam a steam, and then find a girl to massage. It’s past four o’clock in the afternoon when we talk. There is another problem. I feel awkward if I don’t drink afternoon tea. After drinking tea, it will be evening. Generally speaking, there are more shows in the evening, such as nightlife, billiards, bowling, dancing and karaoke bars. After supper and then cuddling a girl to sleep, this day is considered to be taken."
Ning Wei smiled and said, "Are you fucking serious? Just brag about B."
"Blow? Someday I will show you."
"Forget it, I don't have any money."
Hammer asked: "Then why did you go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau just now, what kind of business did you open?"
Ning Wei was a little embarrassed: "Hey, I want to register a trading company. Didn't I just finish the capital verification?"
"What is the registered capital of this company?"
"Five hundred thousand."
Hammer smiled: "You still say you have no money? How many people can come up with half a million these days?"
Ning Wei said: "How can I have so much money? I borrowed it from a friend, and I have to pay it back immediately after the capital verification."
"Look, you're out of your mind? If I were you, I'd pay it back a month late. I'd spend a few handfuls of foreign exchange on the five hundred thousand, and if I couldn't do it, I'd earn more than two hundred thousand a month."
Ning Wei was skeptical: "Is there such a high profit from pouring foreign exchange?"
"This is still a conservative number, how about it? Let's make a deal together?"
Ning Wei hesitated and said, "Is this... safe? If I lose money, I will screw my elder brother."
Hammer became serious: "Fuck! You still can't believe me? You can ask around, who is my Hammer? Let's do this, we are buddies, let me give you a hand, if you lose it, it's me, and if you earn it, we both Half and half, how about it?"
"I'll have to think about it..."
