Look at them, most of them live at the bottom, facing the threat of hunger, cold and disease every day, and no one listens to their words.But they are still tenaciously alive, and they are full of enthusiasm for every ray of sunshine.As long as the heart is not cold, no matter how difficult it is, there is salvation.

On the contrary, it seems that there is no light in your eyes, and you are all like walking dead.Even if he sees the light, he refuses to get up and chase a few steps for the sake of the future.You can't live a happy life just by waiting. As long as you live for a day, you have to pay for yourself and future generations until you die. "

Shui Nanqin's complaints are not completely unreasonable. If she hadn't escaped back then, she might not have been treated as a guinea pig or a monster. Under her own control, the alliance would definitely be more stable than it is now, and the vast number of refugees would not be treated as a guinea pig. as livestock.

But this is only a possibility, and not an absolute advantage.Human nature is first of all selfish, Hong Tao is still an individual no matter how he travels, so naturally he cannot escape the influence of human nature.When you can't be sure of your own safety, fleeing should be the most reasonable choice. So far, I have no regrets, let alone guilt.

Chapter 1068 Judge Hong

Most of the more than 2 refugees in the self-administered area participated in the voting. The final result was calculated very quickly, and it was announced jointly by the strike committee and the safety area management office after a day, which was naturally as expected.

Bah, it was not expected at all, but cheating.As long as they are refugees living in the self-administered area, 90.00% of them have received hints or notices from their own ethnic group in advance.

Who should be selected for the director, who should be selected for the deputy director, and who should be selected for the chief justice, all of which were clearly informed.For some Xinjiang and provincial immigrants who are not very good at writing Chinese characters, there are even written small notes to ensure that there will be no major deviations.

So here comes the question, Hong Tao keeps saying he wants rules, why did he take the lead in breaking the rules?Those who ask this question are too naive. If you want to establish rules, what should you do first?

It's not about following the rules, it's about grabbing power first!Without power, how can we establish rules?To put it another way, if you want to put power in a cage, you must first become the person to be put in the cage.This thing is a self-abuse job, and in the end it is tantamount to using yourself as a target, locking yourself up, and going in with power along the way.

The announcement of the election results was also a simple ceremony for the self-management district committee to take over the self-management power from the safety zone management office.The highest official attending on behalf of the coalition government was the director of the management department. It can be seen how disgusting the officials are for this self-administered area, and they don't even bother to do superficial things.

The new director of the self-administered area management office is Hong Tao's acquaintance, Zhang Qian.The former squadron leader of the security team in the new safety zone, since he was not at fault in the arms smuggling case, led his squadron to refuse Lian Chunyu's order on the grounds that it did not comply with the regulations, and no one showed up at the crime scene. He became the only meritorious minister in the New Safety Zone Management Office.

Ministers who have made meritorious service will be rewarded, and the squadron leader has become the director of the official management department, which can be regarded as being promoted to three levels in a row.But few are really envious, because the management office he works in is different from the past. It is a new security zone before, and now a limited self-management zone.To many of his colleagues it was not a reward at all, more like exile.

"... I would like to congratulate you without hypocrisy. I never expected this scene before. To be honest, if I had the choice, I would never come here to be the director of the management department, even if it continues The captain also stays away from you."

Zhang Qian himself seemed to think so. He briefly announced the authorization letter of the alliance government, shook hands with the new director and deputy director of the self-administration district committee to express his congratulations, and walked up to Hong Tao, the chief judge of the self-administration district, with a look of lifelessness and listlessness. .

"Director Zhang has a problem with me personally?" Hong Tao also changed into a new suit today, mainly black, but he didn't have the solemn demeanor of a judge at all. He looked more like a battle-tested veteran.In the face of Zhang Qian's frankness, he also pretended to be very sincere, trying to squint his eyes, his face full of puzzlement.

"I don't dare, I just hope that you will be merciful, and don't torture me, this unlucky bastard, in different ways all day long. During the holidays, you must come to the door with a big gift to thank you!" For the refugees from the self-management area who came to watch the ceremony, Zhang Qian gritted his teeth to ensure that he could kneel down and salute Hong Tao.

I have never felt so powerless before, no matter if I worked in the South Fifth District or the new security zone. It was only when I took the position of the head of the management office that I realized that the power increased exponentially and the responsibility increased exponentially. cause big trouble.

But for now, the biggest trouble is the vicious and ugly old face in front of me. As long as I smooth this out, my future work will be [-]% smooth, and the remaining [-]% ​​is luck and I can't rely on others.

"Hey, I haven't even found the address of the court, and you are rushing to be the defendant. Bribing the District Judge, if this matter gets out, Randy will have your skin. Let's go, talk in the office , I happen to have something to discuss with you."

It's a pity that such a low-browed and pleasing hint still couldn't satisfy Hong Tao, but instead attracted a sneer and extremely scary accusations.Before he could tell, he was pinched by a big hand at the elbow, and the smaller half of his body felt numb and sore. If he didn't shout out on the spot, he was definitely well-trained.

"No, absolutely not, and you didn't strangle me to death!" Back in the office, Zhang Qian still felt uncomfortable with the big hand on his elbow leaving.But what he heard next made him forget the tingling feeling immediately, and even felt that he could pinch it for a while, as long as he could avoid this topic.

Hong Tao actually asked the management office to equip the newly established joint defense team of the self-administered area committee with ten pistols and some live ammunition. Don't be kidding, it is useless for Secretary-General Randy to come in person before receiving a written order from the director of the Secretary-General's Office.

"Then can you provide some bulletproof vests or stab-proof suits? The joint defense team started from scratch, so it's more or less interesting as the management office of the self-administered area. Without pistols, bullets, and bulletproof vests, it's not suitable, right?"

Faced with Zhang Qianyi's relentless refusal, Hong Tao did not continue to press, took a step back, and changed to armor instead of standard weapons.Although this thing is also a contraband, it is limited to military grade, and no one will pursue it for police use.

"Five sets!" Zhang Qian could see that this guy didn't have anything to discuss at all, but took the opportunity to play the autumn wind.It's all my fault for being too weak just now, if I can be normal, I won't be forced into this situation.It's a pity that it's too late to regret, and it's obvious that this plague god can't be sent away without some blood.

"Ten sets... plus two high-power walkie-talkies. Don't cry poorly with me, the management office does not lack this kind of equipment. In fact, being generous now will be beneficial to the future... For example, financial issues.

The management office settles every six months, right?The Secretary-General's Office is also a Qingshui yamen, not only does not have enough funds to issue, but in many cases it has to reach out to the management office instead.You said that the director of the secretary-general's office finally opened his mouth again, but you said that there was no money, which hurts feelings.

In this way, every month in the future, the committee will pay a rent to the management office on the grounds of renting equipment.Don't be afraid, the money is paid out by the committee and entered by the management office. Every penny is a formal procedure and fully complies with the interim management regulations of the self-administered area.

You only need to take part of the equipment worn out by the management office and the security team’s daily training, as well as the consumption of horses and vehicles, and count it as the equipment loss leased to the committee and the joint defense team. It is reasonable and legal for anyone to check.

This money belongs to the legitimate income of the management office. Part of it can be used to give some benefits to subordinates, and part of it can be saved. Don't wait for the superior to ask for it, and hand it in when the budget is declared in the first half of the year.It's not the credit of the self-administered district management office, but it can win you a lot of goodwill.

You have risen step by step from the grassroots, so you should understand the truth that the king of hell does not send out evil spirits.If you don't have enough benefits at ordinary times, who will your subordinates consider for you at critical moments?You don't have to do anything, and you will be able to bear it without any effort.

In addition, the Management Office and the Committee are regarded as equal units on most issues, and they are unified under the leadership of the Secretary-General's Office.In other words, the two of us are in a cooperative relationship. If the boundaries are drawn too clearly, the future cooperation will definitely not be smooth.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not teaching you how to collude and deceive others. This is the most basic way of judging the situation and weighing the pros and cons.If we cooperate well, the Office of the Secretary-General will not bear more pressure from other departments.

Right now, the whole league is staring at this place. If there is a problem, you will have to take the blame.Comrade, you have misunderstood this appointment a bit. If Secretary-General Lan didn't trust you, how could he entrust you with such an important job.

Just wait, he will talk to you in a few days, and the core content must be the same.It is necessary to cooperate closely with the committee to strive for the construction of the self-administered area, but also to adhere to the principles and fulfill the supervisory duties, so as to prevent my big trouble from looking for opportunities to make trouble again. "

Hong Tao stretched out his two palms, he didn't have the slightest sense of begging, and he was very righteous, as if the management office owed him.Then the topic changed and he started to give Zhang Qian a class. The lecture covered a whole range of topics, from how to behave to how to do things, from the form of the self-management area to the attitude of the top leaders of the league. No matter how you listen, it makes sense.

Chapter 1069

"...But you are the chief judge of the self-administered district!" Zhang Qian suffers because he has not had much in-depth contact with Hong Tao, let alone such a set of theories that are so weird and close to life and work. He was a little dazed for a while, and he didn't know how to answer .

Suddenly, the eyes light up, no, aren’t you the chief judge who keeps saying that the rules are the first, how come you have become an old fritter in the officialdom in a blink of an eye, such a big contrast must be fraudulent!

"Judges are human beings too. If people see me, they will be annoyed and want to be stabbed to death. How can we talk about justice? The biggest role of rules is to protect the interests of the majority of people, and then we can pursue and uphold the truth.

I have to have a chance to establish it before I can make it work. Otherwise, it will just be a bunch of empty words and slogans, which will not work at all. Do you want such a judge?

That's it. We are partners in the future. If the management office encounters work problems in the self-administered area, don't think about going to where to file a complaint immediately. You should first discuss the solution with the committee.

In the same way, if the committee encounters similar problems at work, it will first consult with Director Zhang, and don't always bother the secretary-general for problems that can be solved at the grassroots level.

Oh yes, I almost forgot one more thing, you have to issue me some special passes.The committee has a batch of grain to be shipped to the Great Ocean Road market for sale in the near future. The quantity is a bit large, about [-] carts. "

Zhang Qian's expression at this time was very similar to that of Shui Nanqin when he saw that someone had chosen him as the chief justice, and he couldn't believe it.Hong Tao simply stopped pretending to be a judge, and went straight to the point. Anyway, in the future, he would secretly do a lot of things that should not be done by a judge. He could hide most people, but he definitely couldn't hide Zhang Qian.

"A hundred and ten carts...all of them are food!" Zhang Qian forgot what the judge should look like when he heard the amount of food.

The three main bases of the East Asian Alliance are not very good grain-producing areas. Every year, almost one-third of the grain is exchanged from the Southeast Alliance through mechanical products, so grain prices will fluctuate to a certain extent with seasonal changes.

Now that winter is coming, every settlement and every military station is hoarding food, which is the stage when food prices are climbing to the highest point.At this time, if anyone has surplus food in their hands, they should not sell it, and wait for two or three months before selling it after the Spring Festival. It is guaranteed to make a fortune.

"Yes, they're all grains. They were purchased before the strike, so they probably won't be needed now." Hong Tao didn't seem to hear the voice-over, let alone see Zhang Qian's astonished expression.

"Captain Hong, it's more suitable for you to be a judge. It's better not to engage in economics... If these grains can be sold in February next year, you can earn at least [-]% more price difference out of thin air."

Zhang Qian could see that this mighty man who was said to be miraculous and indeed showed many miracles did not know everything, at least he was too unfamiliar with business.

"Do I look like such a money-grubbing person? Hurry up and get a pass, and I have time to go to the crossroads for a drink in the evening. Today is just in time for the Kazakh herdsmen to cook horse meat. They only cook it once a year before winter, so it's worth trying."

Hong Tao curled his lips, with a disdainful expression on his face, as if he was really not interested in the [-]% price difference, and he was not even interested in asking in detail, so he changed the topic to food.

"What a weirdo... Hey, pick me up with Feihu Construction Company...Brother Sun, the self-administered area will be transporting a large amount of grain to the Dayang Road market in the past few days. Yes, Captain Hong said it himself, just now Take the pass from me. Well, you’re welcome, I’ll walk around from the management area another day, nothing else, the food is still good.”

Looking at Hong Tao's swaying back, Zhang Qian rubbed his temples, feeling deeply powerless.Dealing with this kind of person who can't figure out the context and is always the same as the hammer is the most tiring.

But just rubbing it a few times, suddenly seemed to remember something, and quickly picked up the phone to call the switchboard.First they called the construction company, but they couldn't find anyone, and then chased after Xiushan Apartment, and finally found Feihu Sun.

The purpose is obvious, if Sun Feihu's relationship is strong enough and he strikes fast enough, he must be able to buy part of it, hoarding it and waiting for it to change hands next spring will be a windfall.Sun Feihu made money, so naturally he wouldn't treat his old relationship badly.

"It's done, the pass is finished, Manager Hu, you can start the car from there. Boss Bai, the warehouse is yours to prepare, and the food is yours and Boss Shen's. I don't eat it, but I must give me half of the goods in it!"

It's a pity that Zhang Qian was completely kept in the dark, and Sun Feihu was sitting on the top floor of Xiushan apartment with a proud face.On the left is Bai Side, on the right is Shen Nan, and on the opposite is Populus euphratica, all smiling.

Why are you so happy?I made money.July is the harvest season for a large amount of grain in the south. Bai Side and Shen Nan were entrusted by Hong Tao to legally and semi-legally buy a large amount of grain through various relationships at the prevailing price.

Originally, it was intended to be sold as an investment certificate, but he did not expect that the strike issue would be resolved before winter, and Hong Tao sent back half of the grain. The price was based on last weekend.

In fact, according to today's grain prices, as long as it is put on the market, there will be large and small grain merchants and speculators immediately eating it.At present, the bulk grains that can be circulated in the market are basically zero, and whoever catches up will see smoke from their ancestral graves.

The gift given out not only serves as a gift in a timely manner, but it doesn't cost me a penny, and it can make money in the end. This kind of good thing is hard to find with a lantern, and no one can laugh when they come across it.

What's even more rare is that along with the grain, there is a large amount of in-demand supplies. Although the quantity is far less than the grain, it can't stand the high unit price, and it can be cashed out immediately without having to store it until the beginning of spring.

"Brother Sun, you are an elder, so you should be the first to choose, but you can't eat a fat man in one bite. Boss Shen and I have worked hard without credit or hard work, and brother Hu is a part, so it's not easy to divide."

Don't look at the big brother who usually opens his mouth and shuts his mouth, and even brings Feihu out to a meeting to discuss some things, but when it comes to real money, Bai Side's profiteering face is fully exposed.Even when my own father came, I had to make it clear that I would feel uncomfortable if I made less money.

"Whoever said that I am alone, Mrs. Xiushan doesn't count! Don't worry about Lao Hu's share, Captain Hong won't lose him. But Boss Shen is very fast. I heard what's the matter, Sanhuan Entertainment City is going to open a branch, and even the name has been decided, it is called Xiyu Food City, right?"

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, suppressed by the public trial and strike for several months, and finally cleared the clouds and mist to see the blue sky, Sun Feihu is in a particularly good mood, and directly resolves Bai Side's caressing, and even grabs Shen Nan's pigtails Son, I will let you two work together!

"Western Region Food City...Brother Shen, it's not in the self-management area, is it?"

It was the first time Bai Side had heard of this matter, and he became very angry at the moment.In addition to a sense of loss for not being well-informed about the news, there is also a deep sense of envy and jealousy.As soon as I gained a firm foothold in the crossroads market, this guy smelled it and passed by, biting off a big piece of fat in one bite, it is very righteous to not hate it.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's a complete misunderstanding. Captain Hong brought up this matter. He felt that if the self-administered area wants to be prosperous, it must make use of delicious food. But it's a bit weak to rely on roadside stalls and small door faces. If there is another Wouldn't a slightly more upscale place be more perfect.

Really, the name of Food City was given by Captain Hong himself... I am a pure helper. According to Captain Hong's instructions, there are no casinos in Food City, and I don't have much money to make. "

Shen Nan was not too flustered, this kind of thing must not be hidden for a long time, and it doesn't matter if he admits it openly.Now he has to be grateful to Hong Tao, who originally posted it on his own initiative, but after satisfying the requirements of not allowing casinos to open two years ago, it directly became Hong Tao's idea, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Don't open a casino? Why?" Seeing Shen Nan speak so eloquently, Sun Feihu couldn't believe it.But he was a little puzzled by the new regulations. If there were no casinos in the entertainment city, many gamblers would be lost out of thin air.

"I'm not too sure. Captain Hong said that some customs in Xinjiang Province seem to prohibit gambling. Let's talk about it in two years."

Chapter 1070 Take what you need

"Not even the bathing center is taboo!" Bai Side didn't gamble, and only cared about another project.

"Hehehe, it's strange to say that gambling is not allowed but sales are allowed... Captain Hong said that not only must there be bathing, but also must be high-grade. Half of the technicians in it are local people, and half are from Xinjiang Province. Brother Bai, I But I saw a lot of exotic customs there, it’s really time for a change...hehehe...hahaha..."

Speaking of this question, Shen Nan's bitter face instantly turned into a perverted virtue, and together with Bai Side, he gave a knowing smirk.

Losing the gambling project is indeed a big blow to him, but in exchange for the support of the self-administered district, there will be a lot of money to be made in the future, such as wine!

After meeting and discussing with Hong Tao this time, he seemed to be enlightened, and his eyes suddenly became brighter.The entertainment industry sounds easy to do, but in fact there are many restrictions. The most troublesome thing is the source of customers.

There are many rich people in the safe zone, but not many are really willing to spend.Just relying on illegal small casinos to earn that little hard-earned money from the poor is not only troublesome, but also inefficient.

At present, he is facing the ceiling of the industry. No matter how hard he tries to innovate, the scale can never be expanded.But Hong Tao's understatement solved the problem.

Alcoholic products are not encouraged in the union law. Low-alcohol alcohol has not been completely banned, and high-alcohol alcohol is simply banned.Let’s do private brewing. Some people have tried it, but it didn’t work out. There is only one reason: there is not enough food.

Brewing high-grade wine requires a lot of grain. Although the alliance government does not use grain as a monopoly, it has a number of grain quotas for each base.Privately procuring large quantities of grain for winemaking is too costly and unsustainable.

If you bought all the food and the price of food soared, everyone would hardly be able to afford food, who would consume hard alcohol.Relying on just a few wine putty will definitely not be able to support an industry, and it will also attract the attention of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is not worth the candle.

But Hong Tao said that when the immigrants from Xinjiang province reclaim the land next year and plant crops suitable for local growth, there will be a large amount of fruit harvest.Immigrants from Xinjiang provinces are good at growing these things, and using fruits to make wine is ancestral. There are not only low-alcohol wines, but also high-alcohol wines.

At that time, if you want, you can go to the self-administered area to invest and build a factory, and part of the output will be sold in the self-administered area, and the other part will be smuggled into other safe areas.

Shen Nan understood the meaning of these words, Hong Tao wanted him to be a bootlegger and control the entire industry from the source.Can it be done?Very capable!What kind of bootleggers, the underground casinos are all done, and the flesh business is also running, do you still care about bootlegging!

Sales... It may be a bit troublesome for others, but it is a natural match for me who started out in the entertainment industry.You don't need to look for anyone, you just need to sell it in the casinos in each safe zone, maybe there are not so many goods, this should be an important factor for Hong Tao to find him to cooperate.

Sun Feihu, Mrs. Xiushan, and Hu Yang are not suitable for this kind of business.Bai Side also has conditions, but he has a large share of the crossroads market. If he holds the bootlegging industry in his hands, it will be too prominent, which will not be conducive to the future development of the self-administered area.

This passage was analyzed by the master. He believed that Hong Tao was trying to equalize the benefits. In this way, all the forces were pulled together to form a community, and the blessings and difficulties were shared.But no one wants to stand out, let alone bullying the market.

Should we do this?The master said it's too much, money can't be made, and rolling forward with a group is the most powerful and efficient.But very few people can master this craft. It is too much a test of ability and wisdom to try to spread the rain and dew among a bunch of forces. Anyway, he can't figure out how to play it.

But he has no objection to trying to follow Hong Tao himself. Making money is secondary, the main thing is to learn how to behave.Doing business, on the surface, seems to be buying low and selling high, fighting for funds and contacts, but in fact it is the most test of human nature, compared with the speed of being a person and doing things.

This time Hong Tao sent back half of the food, and the speed was very delicate.For most people, there are only two choices. One, sell at the purchase price at that time, without earning a penny, and give all the profits to others.Second, don’t mention the black and white, keep this batch of grain in the self-management area, and sell it in the spring, and the profits will all fall into your own pockets.

The former looks very generous and bold, but the taste of buying people's hearts is too strong, and it is not a normal transaction.People who are used to mixing favors and business are often not good at handling both and are not worthy of trust.

The latter seems too petty, it is tantamount to using favors to make money for himself, and he has to take it all alone, let alone the goal of long-term relationship.Once the critical moment comes, this kind of person is likely to betray his partner.

Just sell it at last week's price, which is not only a normal business, but also a certain degree of profit to everyone.There is only one voice-over. You all chose to help me when I was in trouble. Now that I have recovered, I will be rewarded!Note that it is a return, not a giving, let alone a charity.

This kind of person usually thinks more comprehensively in doing things, sees farther, and doesn't care about immediate gains and losses, so he is a very good partner.It cannot be said that you can completely trust, at least most of the time you will not betray others casually for personal gain.

People often have a habit of walking at night. They always feel that their backs are not solid, and they look back from time to time.

If there is an accomplice on the back, you can basically trust that you don’t have to worry too much when walking, and you can pay more attention to the situation on the road ahead, which is fast and relatively safe.

The same is true for making friends and finding partners. The road takes a lifetime, and business is not just a day or two.If you want to go far and work long, you have to let your back rest firmly before you have enough energy to run forward.

Through a series of things, the master still didn't fully see through Hong Tao's thinking, but came to a general conclusion that this person can be handed over, can also be partially trusted, and is worth investing more.

Of course, the necessary means of self-protection must also be available, and one cannot devote himself wholeheartedly, let alone show up rashly and rush to the front.When the relationship between Hong Tao and the alliance was too tense and he had to stand in line, he had to carefully weigh the gains and losses.Break up when it's time to break up, as long as you speak clearly, don't play with guys secretly, and you shouldn't turn your face into hatred.

In fact, Master is not the only smart person in the world. Except for Hu Yang who has less ideas, Bai Side, Sun Feihu, and Mrs. Xiushan generally have similar feelings in their hearts.

If it was speculative to help Hong Tao secretly by taking a certain risk at the beginning, after passing through the safe zone and turning it into a self-management zone, he will really invest in Hong Tao in the future.This is not their personal opinion, but represents the interests of a bunch of ethnic groups behind them.

"Don't get too excited, the establishment of the self-administered area is indeed the first shot, creating a precedent since the establishment of the alliance, and it has encouraged the vast number of refugees.

But the real test has just begun. The self-administered area is basically empty at present, without any industries to support it. It is difficult to let more than 2 people have enough food, drink and work...

No matter what race, as long as there is no food, there will be chaos, and no one can stop it.Once there is famine and relatively large public security problems in the self-administered area, everything in front of it will be for nothing.

At that time, the alliance government will have sufficient reasons to cancel the pilot project, and at the same time, it will also let the refugees in other safe zones see a cruel reality. There is no other way but to obey, and it will be even more difficult to try again in the future.

What we should do now is not to celebrate, but to prepare for greater investment. If we have money, we have people, we have strength, we try our best to develop in the self-management area, and see if this can provide some help to Captain Hong.Only through this difficulty can we get through the harvest season! "

Seeing the men in the room talking loudly and complacently, Mrs. Xiushan couldn't help but throw away the blanket and sing the opposite.Among these people, she may be the only one who doesn't care much about immediate gains and losses. Helping Hong Tao is just a belief, or hope.

There is a saying that is clear to the bystanders. Whoever can put himself out of the way will not be easily confused by interests and have the opportunity to see more comprehensively, especially the crisis.

Chapter 1071 Primary Court

"Help is for sure, but where should we start? Do you have a goal?" Bai Side rubbed his fat face, put away his lewd smile, and acted as if he was listening.He didn't like this old lady very much from the bottom of his heart. He always felt that there were twinkling microscope-like eyes behind her kind and kind eyes, and she was too calm and terrifying when she was in trouble.
