Chapter 147: Much Ado About Nothing

As Shisen said, in the evening, Fang Mingyu probably brought Lin Zeng and Zhou Lielun to the appointment, accompanied by Chen Zhong and three other security guards.

For this Chang'an Trading Co., Ltd. Fang Mingyuan is really a little curious, and as Yuan Miao said, with the development of Carrefour supermarket in Qinxi Province, he must gradually integrate into the corresponding circle, multiple friends and multiple roads, isn't it? Maverick is certainly eye-catching, but from a certain point of view, it is tantamount to another way of saying that it is difficult to speak alone. Fang Mingyuan wants to be in the future, in China and even in the whole shijie. To go further, you have to find like-minded partners. Even if it's someone who can only play a partial role. Nor should it be spared.

After turning into the fork leading to the Chang'an Hall from the national highway, Fang Mingyuan found that there were quite a lot of luxury cars on this road. BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Buick, in a short period of time, he saw seven famous cars that are not often seen in Fengyuan City, and there are actually two sports cars among them. One was a Porsche, and the other was too fast for him to see.

"This Chang'an Hall is the site of Chang'an Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd.?" Fang Mingyuan said in surprise. If that's really the case, he still underestimated the energy of this Yuan Miao. Although this is also a suburb of Fengyuan, how is it possible to occupy such a considerable piece of land here without a little background?

"Probably not, but it is said. Very close contacts with Chang'an Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd. Sun Zhaolun said uncertainly, "According to uncertain information, this guild hall seems to have a military background. I heard here that it used to be a military camp of the local garrison of Fengyuan, and it was later transferred to the Chang'an Hall, and I don't know who the person behind it is. Fang Shao, this army is different from the locality, let's be careful when we go. ”

Fang Mingyuan nodded, if this Chang'an Hall has a military background behind it, then it is not surprising that it can establish a foothold in Fengyuan City.

In China, the army traditionally had a "production team." The characteristics of small self-sufficiency, but it is just "do-it-yourself, abundant food and clothing". It has nothing to do with the outside of the army. At that time, the reason why there was a characteristic of self-sufficiency production was that it was forced to have a last resort under the conditions of the situation, and although it retained this characteristic after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it still strictly restricted certain aspects and absolutely did not allow the military to have commercial relations with the outside world. I have to admit it. These activities have played a great role in lightening the burden on the state and effectively resolving the material difficulties necessary for the survival and development of the armed forces. It should be said that the commercial production engaged in by the army is an expedient measure, and its original intention is to share the country's worries, so it has won the full understanding and help of the masses of the people.

But after the eighties, this kind of business activity changed significantly. The armed forces are deeply and massively involved in commodity economic activities, and the army, navy, and air force and the three major general departments are all involved in economic activities. The commercial activities of the military can be seen all over the country, and not only that, but also field armies, large military regions, provincial military districts, and military sub-districts are all doing business. The aim is to supplement the serious shortfall in military spending for some time. The entire army has been immersed in the sea of commerce. Nowadays, those who have been to Nanhai Province will not fail to be impressed by the gas stations marked with military insignia on both sides of the highway, and in many cities, the signal corps operates advertisements for paging services. Military hotels, restaurants, bars, and karaoya houses can be found everywhere.

Although it is said that since the middle of the Tian era, the state has concentrated its financial resources to develop the economy. The armed forces have no choice but to obey the overall situation of the country's economic construction and carry out the imperatives of "patience." In this situation, operational production for the purpose of making profits and making up for the shortage of funds has gradually developed. The people can also understand it. However, the armed forces are engaged in production and operation, and because of the drive of economic interests, there are also cases of competing with the people for profit, which has given rise to some contradictions between the military and the government and between the military and the people, and some lawsuits have even reached the Central Military Commission.

Moreover, in terms of the distribution of income, because the troops stationed in cities, especially in economically developed areas, are self-supporting and self-supporting, there is a big difference between those stationed in remote and difficult areas, and this affects the unity within the army. What's more serious is that the production income of some units has gone in, small coffers. "The chaotic financial management has opened the door to extravagance and corruption and corrupted some people, including some senior cadres.

What is even more crucial is that the military is not only involved in normal commercial activities, but also in some smuggling activities for profit. For example, smuggling cars, cigarettes, and reselling arms. Running luxury hotels, speculating in real estate, etc.

For example. I don't know when many cars with military motor license plates have popped up all over the country, and a small license plate can be exchanged for bundles of banknotes as soon as they change hands, and for the troops, except for the time it takes to apply for military licenses, it can be said that there is almost no cost.

These cars, with military license plates, enjoy a series of privileges at the local level, which the local traffic police department simply cannot manage. This undoubtedly gave some people in society at that time the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes, and they used military vehicles to smuggle them on a large scale.

When this situation attracted the attention of the local traffic police, the military in some places even simply sent their soldiers and military vehicles to "escort" the reform and opening up. This sentence.

It was not until the late nineties that this chaotic situation was truly resolved.

However, Fang Mingyuan didn't worry about anything, if this Chang'an Hall was really the background of the military, maybe it would be more beneficial to himself. In the past few years, the bereaved families of the martyrs have been resettled in no less than 1,000 households, although they are scattered in the vast land of Qinxi Province, but in terms of the total amount, except for those large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, I am afraid that no one has done better than themselves. And the army pays attention to the suitability of robes, and he has solved the difficulties of so many bereaved families for the army, and if they don't have a valid reason, they are embarrassed to embarrass themselves.

While speaking, the group has come to the door of the Chang'an Hall, first of all, a tall stone archway, with four big characters in the golden book one by one Chang'an Hall.

On both sides of the archway, it is obviously a parking lot, and as far as the eye can see, rows of luxury cars are lined up left and right, and under the bright lights, it is eye-catching. Compared to these cars, the two Santanas they sat in were really shabby.

Fang Mingyuan shook his head secretly, although he had already been mentally prepared. But seeing this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little upset, how many of these luxury cars were smuggled in? And how much of it is earned through one's own efforts? Looking at the life of Fengyuan citizens today, and then looking at these luxury cars, I really feel like two shijie.

The two cars that had just passed by them were also among them, and four young men and women were walking towards the gate of the hall with a smile and a smile.

"Oops!" Before the car stopped, two men wearing uniforms similar to armed police uniforms walked over, patted the front of the car and said with a disdainful face, "Don't park indiscriminately, we are a member-based hall here, and non-members will not be accepted!" You have to park and find another place! "Those who come here are either luxury cars or vehicles with military and government license plates, like Fang Mingyuan, who have civilian license plates and are ordinary members of Santana, there is no such thing as this, so they are not worried about offending people. This is the Chang'an Hall, as the saying goes, although the seven officials in front of the prime minister are watching the parking lot, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Dogs look down on people!" Sun Zhaolun scolded hatefully, with his salary, let alone raising a good car in Fengyuan, even if he buys a luxury car with formal channels in Hong Kong, it is definitely not blinking. It's just that Fang Mingyuan has always had a low demand in this regard, and he, as a subordinate, is naturally embarrassed to invest too much in this area.

"Tell me about you! Outsiders are not allowed here. Let's go! Let's go! The two men shouted even louder as they watched the car move. If you don't leave, don't blame us for smashing your car! His voice was so loud that even the four men and women could hear it clearly, and they couldn't help but stop. Stand in front of the door and look this way.

Sun Zhaolun slowly rolled down the window. Fang Mingyuan casually threw the invitation out and sneered: "Since you are not welcome, then let's go, and this thing will be handed over by you to its owner." Brother Chen, turn around! ”

After two spins in the air and falling to the ground, Chen Zhong started the car knowingly and slowly turned around in front of the gate of the guild hall.

"Drag what? Two broken Santanas, things that can't be put on the table! One of them swore and scolded.

The other picked up the invitation on the ground, only looked at it twice, and his face immediately changed, this is a guest invited by Yuan Miao of Chang'an Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd.!

"Stop them!" He pushed his companion and said in a low voice, "This is Yuan Miao Yuan's guest!" ”

"Huh?" His companion opened his mouth in surprise, Yuan Miao Yuan, that is an old member of the guild hall. That's a big man who spends a lot of money, how could he invite such a shabby little person to the hall?

Ahh Don't stop them yet. If they're gone, we're in trouble! "It's not just troublesome, it's going to be severely punished!

The two hurriedly stepped forward to stop the way of the car, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we didn't know that you were a guest of Mr. Yuan, you don't care about the villain, don't care about the two of us." The two of them exchanged words as they spoke. Never mind! Fang Mingyuan didn't have the heart to fight with this kind of little person, if this kind of person had to be cleaned up one by one, he would have been angry to death.

One of the two men was responsible for arranging parking spaces, and the other hurriedly used the walkie-talkie to contact the people in the hall, and at the same time led Fang Mingyuan and the others to the gate of the hall. "That, these gentlemen, although you have Mr. Yuan's invitation, but according to the rules of the hall, even if there is a member's invitation, if you are not a member, you have to wait for the member to come out and bring a few in. I look at you, do you have a membership card? ”

"Since it's a rule, then it's good to wait for Yuan!" Fang Mingyuan stood in front of the door. Gazing at the door of the hall.

The gate of this hall is really magnificent, and there are two huge stone lions on both sides, which are carved lifelike, and they are by no means the scenes of ordinary shops. There are also two small doors next to the black-lacquered gate on the white marble steps, which are extraordinary in the light.

"Yu San, who are these people?" A yin and yang voice came from the side.

The man who was accompanying Fang Mingyuan hurriedly ran over and said with a smile: "Tuesday Shao, these are the guests of Yuan Miao Yuan of Chang'an Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd., and they are waiting for Yuan Yuan to come out. ”

"Yuan Miao. It turned out to be him! That Tuesday pouted. He looks like he is in his early twenties, not tall, only about 1.7 meters, his body looks a little thin, and he actually dyes his blonde hair. It looks a bit like the foreign gangsters who watched movies in Fang Mingyuan's previous life. "This is what kind of person makes what kind of friends, an upstart is worthy of knowing such a person. Two broken Santanas, it's good to drive to this Chang'an Hall, it's really a shame for us members! Yu San, go, drive our car to the other side, and put it together with theirs makes me feel ashamed! Tuesday Shao threw the key in his hand with a look of disdain.

Yu San took the key, looked at Fang Mingyuan with a bitter face, and then looked at Zhou Shao, he couldn't afford to offend either side.

"What are you still doing? Didn't you hear us? The young woman standing next to Tuesday Shao scolded sharply, "Don't you want to do it?" In a word, we'll let you roll up and get out! ”

Fang Mingyuan frowned, these people were obviously in trouble, he didn't know them before, how could they be so cold-hearted as soon as they met?

"What do you mean by that?" Sun Zhaolun stepped forward and glared angrily.

"Tsk, I'm still a southerner, a little Hong Kong. Hey, if you're really from Hong Kong, you're too embarrassed to drive a Santana on the streets? Tuesday Shao sneered, "Don't think that the guest of the president of Chang'an Commerce and Trade Co., Ltd. is a person, tell you." This is Chang'an Hall! ”

"Uncle Sun, you don't have to be like him!" Fang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and pulled Sun Zhaolun back. Walked up to Tuesday Shao and said, "May I ask which car is yours?" Can you point us to it? ”

Tuesday Shao's chin was raised, his eyes were rolled, and he said with a disdainful look: "See, the Porsche that Yu San is driving now is mine!" If you buy your net factory Santana, you can also buy ten or eight. This is the Chang'an Hall, don't think about going in if you don't have that strength. That kind of broken car, parked here, you don't feel ashamed, I still feel ashamed! ”

Fang Mingyuan suddenly realized: "What does Tuesday mean that my car is not of enough grade?" ”

"Humph! You're smart! The young woman standing next to him said sharply.

"I have a question. I remember that Secretary Cheng of the Provincial Party Committee was also in a Santana, did he come to the door of the Chang'an Hall. Is it a shame for you? ”
