In fact, resources are everywhere, but they have not been fully discovered and utilized.For example, in the red zone, I have never figured out why the government is so resistant to allowing refugees to enter the red zone to find daily necessities.They can obviously improve their lives through labor, and at the same time provide additional taxes for the government, but the best of both worlds has become illegal! "

Worried that most of China's land could not afford to support a mere 10 people, Hong Tao didn't know what Randy was thinking. This was no longer a mistake in judgment, but a lack of common sense.

The same problem is more than one. It can obviously reduce the burden on the government and make the life of the people under it better, but no one has wanted to change it for so many years.

Chapter 1090

"You have a proverb that once you are bitten by a snake, you are afraid of the well rope for ten years, and there is another allusion that the farmer and the snake..." Randy didn't answer directly, but picked up the words.

"Hahaha, this is the first time I've heard such a ridiculous explanation. The refugees are dissatisfied with the status quo of their lives and have no choice but to express their opinions in a violent way. Instead, they have become poisonous snakes with no conscience.

You hid in the base with rich clothes and fine food, and treated people like livestock. In order to prevent the livestock from running away, you simply surrounded them and didn’t let them go anywhere. You were given some feed every day and couldn’t eat enough or starve. Instead, you became kind farmers.

It has to be said that there are a bunch of stupid heads in the government who think so.They are low-powered and high-ranking, and they can't think of a solution to the problem, so they simply make a one-size-fits-all approach, preferring to keep the power in their hands while suffering losses as a whole.

When you cooperate with this kind of person every day, you will also be infected, your mind will become more and more confused, and you will gradually switch places with your butt. It is no longer clear who is a poisonous snake and who is a farmer. "

At this time, Hong Tao suddenly had a feeling, as if he had returned to the old world, and was sitting in front of the TV watching XX broadcast.Believe it or not, what people say is impassioned and justified.Believe it, even if you believe a word, your brain will protest, making your stomach extremely uncomfortable.

"Thanks to me, the system you designed can survive until today. If I don't get along with them and try to keep the position of secretary-general, there will be more strange things.

Don't think that Zhou Yuan and Lu Yejiangnan are your heirs. One of them likes to be high-ranking, and the other always hides behind and waits for others to charge forward. Neither of them is a person who can control the overall situation. "

He was scolded for no reason, and he said that his brain is the same as his butt, no matter how well-mannered Randy is, he couldn't help but retort.There used to be fear of status, but now it's reversed, and I can no longer bear the burden of humiliation!

"Pull it down, you are just a speculator who stands on one side fanning the ghostly fire and hoping that the two sides will fight to benefit the fisherman. The real mainstay is precisely the couple Jiao Qiao who I am least optimistic about. If it weren't for them to hold the military power Regardless, whether it is Chu Qiu or Zhou Yuan who is in power, the alliance will change.

Do Americans like to instigate others to fight? Your ancestors divided the Korean peninsula into two parts, and now you are playing the same game.I'm skeptical of your previous statement, they must have been in the Korean War! "

He managed the alliance like this and still dared to boast about his achievements. He must not be used to it. Hong Tao began to launch personal attacks, and he wanted to analyze the tradition of the old Lan family from the root.

"...you are a complete racist, garbage, and stinky shit!" After so many years, Randy finally heard this kind of groundless accusation again, and couldn't help thinking of the accusation that was manipulated back then. Situation, I couldn't hold back my anger for a moment, turned and left while cursing in my mother tongue.

"Secretary-General, when you came, you said you would not return to the base for lunch, and the canteens are closed at this point..." When the driver heard Randy saying that he was going back to the base, he thoughtfully raised the question of lunch.

"Damn, I was cheated by him again...wait for me!" A word awakened the dreamer, this time Randy scolded in Chinese, and at the same time got off the car and got into the transportation hub building. The guards left behind.

"How can there be such a person in the world... Go back and eat compressed biscuits!" Unfortunately, within 10 minutes, he came out again, and Hong Tao and the two people who always followed him had disappeared.

What he said just now was not slandering his family at all, but seeing that he would have to take care of the meal after noon, and deliberately stimulated himself to get angry, and then he could save the meal money as a matter of course.

During the Rescue Team and the Revival League, there were many people who fell for this kind of trick, including myself.But after so many years, no one has played this little trick with me, and my reaction is a bit rusty, so I still get it.

In fact, Randy didn't suffer at all. He got pertinent suggestions that others didn't think of or didn't want to say. Combining these points into the previous plan and discussing it can make those who are waiting to find fault shut up first. on, unless they can find a solution.

Letting Hong Tao run a few words is far better than asking people in the government or the council to deny the proposal face to face. It can also show that the secretary-general is far-sighted and considerate, which is enough to pay for many big meals.

The Spring Festival in 2034 was in late February. Due to sudden heavy snowfall, Zhou Yuan was stuck on the road out of Sichuan and had to postpone her return time.This is good news for Hong Tao, he can spend the festival in a down-to-earth manner, and he doesn't have to be busy welcoming guests from afar.

The Spring Festival is the first festival of each year. Although there are many foreigners and foreign members in the East Asian Alliance, the main body is still the Han nationality, and they attach great importance to this festival.

Every year from the twelfth lunar month, the survivors began to prepare for the festival, showing a festive atmosphere in all aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation.But the busiest place is not inside the base, but the safe area in the south of the city, the fourth area to be precise.

There is the largest market and the largest entertainment city here. After entering the twelfth lunar month, various festival-related goods will be sold in the market, and the entertainment city will start from the 23rd year of the twelfth lunar month, and open-air movies will be played continuously in the yard for free at night.

At this time, the street next to the entertainment city is the busiest place.All kinds of stalls lined up one after another, shouting one after another, and the crowds of customers did not gradually disperse until midnight.

This year is also the same, but the number of booths and passenger flow have decreased.What caused this change was not the weather, nor the government's interference, but two safe zones apart. In the newly established self-management zone, there are also a variety of eating, drinking and entertainment projects, and the source of tourists has been diverted!

Originally, many immigrants in Xinjiang Province did not celebrate the Spring Festival, but under Hong Tao's persuasion, they had to go to the village to do as the Romans do. After all, it is the local immigrants who benefit from the bustle of the self-administered area.

Since the twelfth lunar month, the crossroads market has also created a strong festive atmosphere.You have open-air movies, we have a hodgepodge of ethnic costumes.Vendors of all ethnic groups all wear the most solemn dresses of their ethnic groups, and there are float parades every noon and evening, which is no less attractive than movies in the old world.

In addition, the delicacies of various ethnic groups are also an important gimmick. Many children scattered from the crossroads market half a month in advance. They took handwritten flyers to other safe areas to promote, and sold New Year’s Eve dinner sets at a price similar to usual. .

This thing was also Hong Tao's idea. He spent the last Spring Festival in the safe zone in the south of the city, so he knows what the refugees need.Excluding those who have certain skills, relatively fixed jobs, and relatively stable income, most of the refugees are very poor.

But the poorer the people, the more enthusiastic they are about the Spring Festival. They can't eat a few good mouthfuls all year round, and they are all looking forward to enjoying their mouthful in the few days of the festival.

Immigrants from Xinjiang province are best at making all kinds of meat. Whether it is sheep or cattle, they will not be wasted from head to toe. If you have more money, you can eat with more money, and with less money, you can eat with less money.

Under Hong Tao's instigation, they racked their brains to figure out several combinations of ingredients specifically for the low-level refugees, made a semi-finished product and stored it in the ice cellar, and sold it after the new year, ensuring that most people Refugees can satisfy their hunger with big fish and meat for less than a few dollars.

But even so, there are still some refugees who are old, frail, or suffering from diseases and cannot eat the New Year's Eve dinner.Hong Tao did not forget them. Although the self-administered area has just started and has little accumulation, it is impossible to take care of all the refugees.

But he still spent his own money to buy hundreds of set meals, and asked Benzhu and Shen Wansan to drive the carriage to the safe zone to sweep from house to house every day.Whoever is really poor and can't afford to eat the New Year's Eve dinner will leave one or two copies for them.No money is required, but you must listen to the speech on the tape recorder. The content is naturally about the new policy of the self-administered district.

In Jiang Yang's words, this is using small favors and small benefits to preach. The original intention is not very noble, but the result is indeed a good deed.As for whether it works or not, no one needs to evaluate it, and history has given an accurate answer.

Religion is the best at using this method. No matter Christianity, Islam or Buddhism, they have all used charity to develop their congregants.No matter how poor people are, they also have relatives and friends, and they will have a good impression of whoever really gives them a helping hand, and it is quite effective to spread the word.

Chapter 1091 There Are Business Opportunities Everywhere

In fact, the Alliance government also holds similar activities every year before the Spring Festival, donating some food, clothes, and bedding to the poor and destitute refugees to win favor and prestige.

But the sutras are good sutras, so it is not certain whether they can be recited accurately.Those in charge of distributing relief supplies don't care what the government thinks, they only want to see if they are tired and whether they can benefit from it.

As a result, the materials were distributed at all, but most of them did not reach the refugees who really needed them. The phenomenon of false claims was very serious, and there were even organizations that specialized in making money from relief materials.They obtained a large amount of materials through bribery, pulled them into the market and resold them for a windfall.

Alliance executives often don't notice such trivial matters, and they don't have the time to go deep into the safe zone and do door-to-door investigations. Sitting in the office and looking at the report materials below, they think it's perfect.

Even if some high-level people know about it, they can't stop it.The reselling of relief supplies has formed an industrial chain, and whoever stops it is blocking people's way of making money.May I ask how many high-level officials are willing to offend their peers for no reason for the sake of refugees who have no voting rights?Most choose to turn a blind eye and close their eyes.

Even if they were stabbed, in order not to cause scandals, the government usually asks the Ministry of Internal Affairs to catch a few typical high-profile cases and deal with them, so as to serve as a propaganda effect to scare the chickens and monkeys.

But driven by profit, the monkeys are not afraid at all. The deterrent effect is getting smaller and smaller, and the methods of reselling are getting more and more sophisticated.

In addition to these measures, Hong Tao also negotiated a deal with Bai Side. From the first day of the first lunar month, temple fairs and fairs will be held on the streets from the Dayang Road Market to the entrance of the Third Ring Entertainment City!

Some vendors will come out of the self-administered area, and the rest will be filled by vendors from the Great Ocean Road Market and other safe areas. Anyway, this street must be turned into a sea of ​​eating, drinking, and having fun, but all the necessary procedures must be handled by Bai Side.

"Can I rent out the stalls after I've designated them?" Bai Side was hesitant after hearing the beginning. The temple fair itself was of no benefit to him. Too unreasonable.

"The rent in the first year should not be too high. Let most people make money and spread the reputation of the temple fair, so that more people will be willing to buy stalls next year. This is a long-term business, and it will benefit the surrounding businesses. .After everyone gets used to it, this street will be a veritable commercial center."

Rental is a must, and Hong Tao has no intention of handing over the stalls to the vendors in the self-administered area for nothing, but the level of charges must be a bit particular, and one should not be too eager to make money and ruin the brand in one fell swoop.

"Then if I buy more shops along the street..." In terms of business, Bai Side did have Jewish genes, and he was naturally sensitive to the smell of money.

"At the beginning of spring, at least [-] new immigrants will come to the self-management area and the security area. There are many shops in the northern section of this street, but there are not many decent shops in the southern section all the way to the small building of the Ping An Transportation Company." Hong Tao said nothing. He said whether to buy or not, but talked about the planning of the commercial street.

"That's right, the money to buy ready-made shops is enough to build two or three new ones... Chief Justice, I heard that the herdsmen in the self-management area can go to the red area to graze. Can you bring back some wood for the doors and windows? I'll take it all!"

When mentioning the small building of Ping An Transportation Company, Bai Side's small eyes suddenly flashed a cold light, and a new idea came out again, it is better to buy than to build!But he didn't have a place to find so many building materials, whether he could build it or not depended on Hong Tao's willingness to help.

"Since Boss Bai opened his mouth, he naturally wants to help with this small favor... But we can't take the lead in breaking the rules and grabbing the construction company's job. Why don't we just say hello to Boss Sun and contract the house building project to The construction company, and then asked him to find a way to pull the materials back from the self-management area.

In fact, you don’t suffer a lot after all the calculations, it’s not just a room and a half of material, and it costs a lot just to manage the benefits of the checkpoint.As the saying goes, if the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, it's all a waste of money, why not make it cheaper for our own people.Boss Sun naturally has a way to get the materials over, and how much money he spends is his business. "

It is said that both Bai Side and Shen Nan once stretched out a small hand of friendship when they needed help the most, and they should repay it no matter whether it is beneficial or not.Sending back half of the grain and letting them earn the difference is considered grateful, but Hong Tao felt that it was not enough, so it was his duty to help find a batch of building materials from the red zone.

But the construction industry is Sun Feihu's job. He may not be hungry, but the construction company still has hundreds of strong and strong families. Everyone has a family behind them and a mouth waiting to be fed. It cannot be said that he offended Sun Feihu just to repay Bai Side's favor. myself.

"Captain Hong is benevolent, this matter is handled openly, and I will promise to mention it when I personally come to talk to Boss Sun about building the house!" It's too fucking righteous. In this way, myself, Sun Feihu, and the self-administered area all three parties There is no disadvantage, and even the benefits that the checkpoint should have are still there, but the matter has been resolved satisfactorily.

Master!Facing such a character who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, smooth and smooth, and ruthless in his bones to catch someone to death, no matter what he thinks in his heart, Bai Side will have a treasured face, and his mouth is full of sweet words.

"Boss Bai, you said that if I get some more building materials and door and window furniture, ship them out through Boss Sun's construction company, and then sell them in your market, will the profit be enough for the three of us to share?"

But Bai Side was still hasty, and the matter didn't end here. Hong Tao put forward a hypothesis very modestly and cautiously, which made his eyes stare at him.At the same time, I also realized that it’s not just casually mentioning that it’s worthwhile to encourage myself to build shops along the street. Those are all foreshadowing, and the real meat of the show is here!

Can it be done?It must be possible!The reason why Feihu Sun dominates the construction industry in the safe zone is not all due to the reputation he gained back then and a group of diehard supporters under him, but in the final analysis, it is his connections.

Except for him, no one can get the construction materials that the transportation company of the logistics department regularly goes to the red zone to dismantle.If you want to build a house without beams, doors and windows, or furniture, the cost will be unbearable just by buying some scattered supplies from the market.

Why did a group of bigwigs in the southern safety zone hold a meeting to think about how to cheat Hong Tao? It was not to uphold justice for Youlong Labor Service Company, let alone to maintain any rules.

The main reason is that Hong Tao found construction materials to repair the small building privately, which seriously damaged the monopoly environment of the construction company.If all the refugees follow suit, Feihu Construction Company will suffer a lot.

But this time is an exception. Didn't they say that they want to bring Sun Feihu to play together, and everyone will make money if they have money.Maybe he had already negotiated the conditions with Feihu Sun, and then came to him, so why hesitate, follow up quickly.

Even if the purchase price is a little higher, there is not much profit at all, and this business has to be done.If there are more sources of wood, steel bars, doors and windows, and furniture in the Great Ocean Road Market, there must be more tourists coming here, and even other businesses will be more popular!

With the continuous influx of immigrants from Xinjiang and provinces, the prices of building materials and furniture can only go up, and there is no possibility of slow sales. Presumably, Hong Tao and Sun Feihu will pull themselves together, and they will not raise the price too high. profit.Calculated in this way, you won't lose any money!

"...Captain Hong, it's not that I'm overthinking. If there's a problem that I don't understand, I'm always not at ease. Can you explain it to me, why don't you sell this batch of goods in the crossroads market?

If you have a special operation of building materials and furniture, the supply of goods is basically exclusive, and no one can compete in a short period of time.In this way, not only can you make money in the short term, but you can also attract more traffic, which is beneficial to the intersection market and you.

It should not be difficult for you to clear the relationship between several checkpoints.Even if you don't want to come out in person, Boss Sun, Boss Shen, including brothers, I can also take care of it for you! "

But Bai Side didn't agree right away, he didn't understand Hong Tao's original intention of doing so.It is true that businessmen value profits, but businessmen are not stupid. Some people rush to give money without knowing why, and they must ask clearly before they can feel at ease.

The crossroads market in the self-administered area has a faint tendency to compete with the Great Ocean Road market. Why not leave such a good opportunity to the crossroads market for exclusive use, and take the opportunity to attract a group of tourists.

Chapter 1092 Have you ever raised chickens?

"In my opinion, the crossroads market and the Great Ocean Road market should not become rivals, let alone fight each other's price wars to grab the market, but should complement each other and support each other to grow bigger and bigger.

I have roughly calculated that if all the immigrants from Xinjiang and the province arrive next year, the purchasing power of all the safe and self-managed areas will be enough to operate three or four medium-sized markets, and this does not include the purchasing power of the official residents in the base.

Since everyone can eat enough, why bother to make such an unpleasant scene.In fact, what we lack is not passenger flow, but customers with purchasing power and more types of goods.

Whether it is the Great Ocean Road Market or the Crossroads Market, there are too few types of goods at present.If you want to increase your turnover, it is a stupid way to monopolize the market by killing one thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred. It is better to find ways to increase the variety of products. "

Hong Tao's explanation sounds open-minded and classy, ​​but in fact it's all the truth and everyone understands it, but he didn't say the real reason. It's not that he doesn't want to fight, but that he can't fight for the time being.

It seems that the crossroads market is developing rapidly, and there are faint signs of keeping pace with the Great Ocean Road market. In fact, the real strength of the two markets is still far apart. This is an illusion that only looks at the superficial phenomenon and ignores the essence.

Just like a long-distance marathon, the first step is from the start to five kilometers.This stage is not difficult. As long as you are in good health and like to exercise, most people can do it relatively easily.

From [-] kilometers to [-] kilometers is the second step. This stage is not very easy. In addition to being healthy and exercising, you must have relatively strong endurance and running skills. Most people who have not trained for a long time can't do it.

The third step is from fifteen kilometers to thirty kilometers.At this time, the requirements are more stringent. Even if the body and training are up to standard, the climate, state and opponent factors must be taken into consideration. Only a very small number of people can complete it.

From [-] kilometers to the end of the whole journey is counted as the fourth step. At this time, all external factors are not enough to support you to continue running. You must add a mentality, remind yourself all the time, and force yourself to go beyond the limit.

There is another very important link, rhythm.Different people have different physical fitness, training methods, and running habits. Some people are used to exerting strength in the first half of the race, while others like to come from behind.

You can't see others running faster than you, feel anxious and speed up your pace.In that way, apart from being able to approach or surpass the opponent in a short period of time, there is no benefit at all.Once your own rhythm is disrupted, you will inevitably lose your stamina in the future. In the end, not only did you fail to catch up, but you were thrown farther.

In comparison, after seven or eight years of careful management, the Great Ocean Road market has reached the third level in terms of supply of goods, merchants, and passenger flow, and is launching an impact towards the end.

And the crossroads market has been open for less than half a year. The superficial prosperity is just that the products are more distinctive, and the policies in the self-management area are relatively loose, and the tax is lower. At most, it has just entered the second stage.

But as long as you calculate the turnover and the types of goods in the two markets, you can clearly realize that once the novelty wears off, the false prosperity of the crossroads market will anneal, and the real strength will be the competition at that time.

Many things in the world are regular. Races between the tortoise and the hare and overtaking on curves do exist, but they are special circumstances and cannot be regarded as the norm.Persevere to the end according to your own rhythm and not be led astray by others, only then can you win the final victory.Eager for quick success, great success, and blind optimism are all foolish practices.

The ancients said that only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.There are three key points here. First, you must know how much energy you have, then you must know the strength of your opponent, and finally draw the correct conclusion.

Among these three key points, the first point is the most difficult to achieve.People will habitually overestimate their abilities, especially when the wind is going smoothly, they always feel that they are close to invincible and their opponents are already vulnerable.

"Then do you think the government will fully open the red zone after the successful trial of the self-administered zone?"

Since Hong Tao himself said that there is no possibility of vicious competition between the two markets at present, Bai Side believed it [-]% of the time. partner.

But he has another idea. If the red zone is likely to be fully liberalized in the near future, the situation will change completely.When the time comes, both markets will have sufficient supply, so how should we get along with each other?

"Have you ever raised chickens?"

"..." Bai Side didn't quite understand why he suddenly talked about raising livestock while chatting about the big picture, and shook his head blankly.

"I have never raised chickens, but during the rescue team, a member of the team once raised them at home, and we talked about the details when we were free. There are roughly two types of chickens on the market, free-range chickens and large-scale farmed chickens. Everyone knows how to go. Ground chicken is delicious in quality and high in nutritional value, but farmed chickens occupy most of the market.

The reason is very simple. Farmed chickens can be marketed in a short period of one month, while free-range chickens take at least a year.For the managers, the chickens are easy to manage and the cost is low. Although the unit price is low, the quantity cannot be supported.

So what method do they use to make the chicken go out for more than a month?The method is very simple, shut up in the chicken coop, look less, listen less, and don't think about anything when you are full.

The vast majority of farmed chickens have never touched the ground or even seen the sun from birth to death.In their cognition, the chicken coop is the world, the chicken coop is the earth, and the light bulb is the sun.

If you put them out for free-range breeding, you can see the real world, stepping on the ground and bathing in the sun.It won't be long before all these chickens are unwilling to go back to the chicken coop to grow meat. Some will run away, some will be eaten by wild animals. Management is very troublesome, and the cost will rise like a rocket.

If you were the manager of the chicken coop, which breeding method would you choose? "

Hong Tao thinks it is possible to open the red zone, but it seems impossible for the alliance government to take the initiative to open it.This matter does not seem to be a big deal, but it actually points to the essence.It is a dilemma to choose who to take the positions of Randy and Chuqiu.

"...Since we are all chickens, why do you come back and do so many things that people don't like?" Bai Side did not respond for a long time after hearing the words.He just kept looking at his feet and then at the roof, as if he was also a farmed chicken who had never seen the world, the earth and the sun.

"In the old world, there is often a word called social responsibility. When a person's ability reaches a certain level, he should not limit his vision to the front and care about petty profits.

Look up and look far away, and do some stupid things that don't seem to be profit-seeking.Take those refugees who have to rely on relief to get by for a year as an example. Some of them are old and frail and really can no longer continue to create value, and some just encounter difficulties temporarily or are too young to support themselves.

At this time, no one is going to help them. They may not live until next year, or they may become discouraged and sink from now on. When they grow up, they will be full of hatred. They will either steal or rob, even drink and gamble, and kill themselves early. up.

You may think that they are stupid, lazy, and blame themselves. If they die, they will die, and if they live, they will cause trouble for everyone.But I don't think so, they are all potential customers, poor today, not necessarily poor forever.

If we pull, what we lose is nothing more than a few meals or less trips to the entertainment city twice. It doesn't hurt or itch, but what we get in return is likely to be benefits in the future, and there will be a few more thanks at the last and last time.

This is not to say that everyone should do good deeds, that is just a superficial appearance.In fact, I am not doing good deeds, but consciously cultivating the future market.Didn't I just say that we don't lack traffic, but we lack customers with purchasing power.

Find ways to guide and help those refugees who are struggling at the bottom to live a better life. When they have rich money in their hands, not only your market, but also all buyers and sellers on the street will benefit.Compared with the present pay and future harvest, it is not an order of magnitude at all.
