On September 13, 1910, Xie Mingxian, a People's Party negotiator, arrived in Nanjing by boat. Those in charge of going to greet him were Zhang Yutong, a member of the Jiangsu Council, and others. The first impression that the People's Party delegation made on the delegation of Jiangsu parliamentarians was that it was "too young". There was not even a single person in the entire delegation who was over 40 years old. Although Xie Mingxian, the leader, has a steady demeanor and is very elegant in conversation, he looks only 30 years old. He was already the oldest member of the delegation. Several of the other delegates were young people. In addition, the representatives of the People's Party all cut their hair to a very short length, so they look even younger.

Seeing that no one in the People's Party delegation was carrying their luggage, there was no one to serve them. The Jiangsu delegation was puzzled. Several people were dressed exactly the same, all in dark blue military uniforms, soft military hats, and cloth shoes. It is difficult to tell who is the leader and who is the follower.

The greetings of the People's Party were also very simple, Xie Mingxian and others just briefly introduced the six-member delegation that came, and what each person was called. He also politely asked the name of the Jiangsu representative who came to greet him. Then nothing was said.

This shelf is too big, isn't it? The Jiangsu delegates really have never seen such a style. The average age of the Jiangsu delegation was over 35. That's because the average age of the six followers has been lowered. Full of unhappiness and incomprehension, the Jiangsu delegation took the People's Party delegation into a rickshaw and headed for the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu.

In the same car with Xie Mingxian was Zhang Yutong, seeing Xie Mingxian carefully looking at the scenery on both sides of the road, Zhang Yutong felt a little proud. Nanjing is the ancient capital, and despite the disasters of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the city is still very impressive. Although Zhang Yutong is not from Nanjing, as a receptionist, he is quite proud to see Xie Mingxian looking at the scenery so seriously.

Zhang Yutong couldn't help but ask: "I heard that the local government is quite prosperous under the rule of the People's Party, I don't know how Mr. Xie feels about Nanjing?" ”

Xie Mingxian heard Zhang Yutong's meaning of showing off, and he felt tired of this mentality, but such a long career as a party member made Xie Mingxian have enough self-reflection, and he knew that he looked down on these parliamentarians in his heart. Looking at other forces in China, there is really nothing that the cadres of the People's Party can look at. Jiangsu can still exist now only because the People's Party is not capable of dealing with them at this stage. The People's Party stresses "seeking truth from facts." The reason why the base areas could not be expanded any longer, the Party organizations at all levels thoroughly implemented the attitude of the Party Central Committee, "We do not have the ability to control these areas!" ”

Putting the facts in a reasonable way, the party organizations at all levels of the People's Party have finally acknowledged this fact. At present, when the building of party organizations and government organizations is very imperfect, the time is far from ripe for the People's Party to expand its base areas.

But even so, Xie Mingxian still clearly knew that he looked down on Zhang Yutong's identity as a parliamentarian from the bottom of his heart. Hearing Zhang Yutong's triumphant words, Xie Mingxian replied with the most polite attitude possible: "Each has its own merits." ”

"How?" Zhang Yutong replied playfully.

"We have cheap land over there, and the roads are relatively wide." Xie Mingxian said as he pointed to the "narrow" streets in Nanjing, where only four rickshaws can be used in parallel, "In Wuhan, the narrowest streets are wider than this. As long as we start building the county, the narrowest street is also wider than this road. ”

This time it was Zhang Yutong's turn to be silent, the width of the road means the economic strength of the city, and the arrogance in Xie Mingxian's words is obvious. Zhang Yutong naturally didn't know that Chen Ke was a traverser, and naturally had an incomprehensible attitude towards the width of the street and urban planning. On the issue of urban planning, Chen Ke told the local leaders about the characteristics of the future city. The comrades just felt that Chairman Chen was too arrogant, and no one would question or oppose Chen Ke on this kind of matter.

However, Zhang Yutong didn't come to be angry with Xie Mingxian, even if this topic couldn't last, he continued with a dry smile: "This Nanjing city is quite lively, if you are free, you can accompany Mr. Xie to go shopping." ”

Since Zhang Yutong no longer brags, Xie Mingxian also replied politely: "Thank you very much." ”

While he was talking, the rickshaw walked to a very poor road, and the driver did not slow down for a while, and the body jolted violently a few times. "What's the hurry? Walk slowly! Zhang Yutong shouted to the rickshaw driver.

Xie Mingxian's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle. Although he looks down on Zhang Yutong's status as a parliamentarian, Xie Mingxian will definitely not look down on the working people. The working people have much to learn from everyone, and it is precisely the broad masses of the people who have a base that have everything in front of the People's Party. This understanding is already a normal mentality for party members. Party members and cadres are not encouraged to take rickshaws in the base areas, except in cases involving transportation, sick and female comrades, elderly comrades, and comrades who are inconvenient to move.

If it weren't for the fact that they had to "follow the customs" on the territory of Jiangsu, Xie Mingxian and the others would have walked to other areas of the base area. Everyone is a young person, with hands and feet, and it doesn't feel appropriate to let others pull them along.

However, Xie Mingxian couldn't give Zhang Yutong an ideological education, so he had to say kindly: "This fellow, don't worry, go slowly." ”

The coachman was used to being yelled at, and he also felt that it was very inappropriate for him to be so bumpy, listening to Xie Mingxian so kindly, he also felt more useful in his heart, and he responded sullenly, "I'll slow down this section, the road will be good in a while, I'll get up faster, and I won't delay a few things." ”

"Thank you very much." Xie Mingxian said with a smile.

Zhang Yutong never imagined that Xie Mingxian would be so polite to a coachman, although he was very puzzled, he couldn't say anything more. However, the People's Party's style really left a deep impression on Zhang Yutong.

When the group arrived at the governor's yamen, the officials waiting at the door led everyone into the conversation room. As soon as everyone was seated, the door opened, and Wang Youhong entered the room with other representatives of the parliamentarians.

The parliament said that it would hand over the negotiation power to Wang Youhong, and Wang Youhong would not be stupid enough to really do so. The whole negotiation was attended by the parliamentarians, and Wang Youhong handed over the reception and meeting minutes to the parliamentarians. Even in formal negotiations, Wang Youhong asked the representatives of the parliamentarians to form a staff group. Wang Youhong was reluctant to learn how to run a team from the People's Party's documents, and his perception was that the more he was in the driver's hands, the more he had to learn to cooperate with others. Communication with stakeholders is extremely important. Under the current situation where lawmakers firmly believe that Wang Youhong will seek personal interests for himself, it is more appropriate to make it public.

Since it is necessary to overwhelm the parliamentarians, it is far better for the parliamentarians to know clearly what cards Wang Youhong is holding than for the parliamentarians not to know what kind of chips Wang Youhong is holding. The two sides of the agreement are the Jiangsu government and the People's Party government, and even if the legislators are involved in the whole process, they will only let the legislators know who the People's Party believes.

Everyone doesn't waste time and gets straight to the point. The agreement brought by Xie Mingxian is that if the Jiangsu side can come up with raw silk of the quality specified by the People's Party, then the People's Party and the Jiangsu government can sign a four-year purchase agreement, and the raw silk can be as much as it wants.

This big deal frightened the parliamentarians at the time, how can there be such a good thing in the world? They simply couldn't have imagined it.

"What kind of raw silk should I have?" Wang Youhong was not frightened by this result at all.

Xie Mingxian took out a few small spindles. Jiangsu parliamentarians looked at the raw silk wrapped around the silk ingot, and didn't know what it meant? The quality of this raw silk is really good, and it is much better than ordinary native silk. But it's not such a shocking product. However, Zhang Yutong was proficient in silk, and he was the first to see the doorway. After taking the silk ingot and looking at it carefully for a while, Zhang Yutong's voice trembled a little and asked, "Is this silk a single silk?" ”

"What?!" Other lawmakers already understood what Zhang Yutong was talking about. The best raw silk is called "Jiuli Silk" and "Qili Silk", which refers to the silkworm cocoon being pulled to the end. This kind of raw silk can be woven into a very wide and very large format. Although the raw silk of the People's Party is slightly thicker than other raw silks, this shortcoming is not at all a problem compared to the unbelievable filament. It can even be said that the slightly thicker feature can ensure that the raw silk is stronger.

Without waiting for the Jiangsu parliamentarians to ask, Xie Mingxian had already taken the initiative to say: "The silk in our base area is basically of this quality. If you can guarantee this quality, we are willing to discuss the acquisition and cooperation with you. ”

Such a businesslike attitude did not arouse praise, but made the parliamentarians of Zhejiang Mulberry Sericulture angry, "Mr. Xie, you are here to laugh at us, right?" ”

"With the quality of raw silk like yours, we can sell it ourselves. Do I need to come to your door? ”

"You're a strong man!"

The parliamentarians basically have experience in raising silkworms, and when they look at the quality of raw silk, they know that they are not up to this standard at all.

The room was full of people, and the number of councillors was small, but in a hurry, the voices and speed of the voices were a few. And everyone tried hard to speak official at the beginning, but at this time, all kinds of localizations erupted, and Wang Youhong was a little puzzled.

Tapping the table, Wang Youhong quieted the local councilors, and he asked, "If we have such raw silk, will the People's Party be willing to buy it?" ”

"Yes." Xie Mingxian replied.

"Other qualities of raw silk, the People's Party is not?" Wang Youhong continued to ask.

"Yes, we don't." Xie Mingxian's answer was still crisp.

"What if we can't produce it?" Wang Youhong gets straight to the point.

Xie Mingxian didn't expect Wang Youhong to be so shrewd, but he was stunned. He had been prepared for an arduous negotiation process. Xie Mingxian was even mentally prepared to go to Nanjing that day and leave on the same day. But Wang Youhong's cleverness, or boldness, is really unexpected.

"We can provide a full range of services from silkworm seeds, breeding technology, silk reeling equipment, and even raw silk acquisition. Jiangsu only needs to pay a certain service fee. Xie Mingxian gave the full content of the negotiations. This is all the conditions set by Chen Ke. The Hubei Provincial Committee of the People's Party argued for a long time about this matter, and finally Chen Ke explained to the top the economic laws hidden behind this seemingly advantageous policy for Jiangsu. The comrades' views on this arrangement immediately changed 180 degrees. Chairman Chen Ke's deep understanding of the economy and the insidious and vicious methods of his methods have really opened the eyes of all cadres.

However, there are huge economic interests hidden in this insidious viciousness, and Xie Mingxian is now worried that these guys in Jiangsu will not understand this at all. Chen Ke and his comrades made it clear that if Jiangsu still clings to the idea of "feudal guilds" or cannot get out of the idea of a small-scale peasant economy, then let them die by themselves. That's all the BJP can give.

As Xie Mingxian expected, the Jiangsu parliamentarians immediately asked, "What is the price for the acquisition?" ”

Xie Mingxian replied: "The price can go through two modes, first, fixed-price acquisition. Second, the commission acquisition, no matter what price is agreed, must be handed over to us for a commission. ”

"You guys are robbing!" Jiangsu lawmakers immediately retorted.

"Ha," Xie Mingxian was amused, "Everyone, we are engaged in raw silk production by ourselves, and we can guarantee the quality of raw silk produced." To buy your raw silk, we have to spend manpower to inspect it. There are a lot of things involved in this. Do you think our BJP is willing to spend this effort? We also have to explain to our customers. If there is a problem with the quality, will the customer sell our raw silk next time? ”

Naturally, the Jiangsu parliamentarians refused to buy this account, and it was obviously the People's Party that had impacted Jiangsu's raw silk trade to the point of being unsustainable, so how did this sound like the People's Party had given Jiangsu Tianda benefits.

Without waiting for the Jiangsu parliamentarians to get up to refute, Xie Mingxian continued: "I said, we will buy your raw silk openly. We are also facing business risks, if we buy and can't sell it, these raw silk will lose a lot of money if they fall into our hands. Everyone who does mulberry sericulture knows that there is this risk, and we have taken this risk, how much do you think we want? ”

Xie Mingxian's reasoning is logically complete, but the key now lies in the conflict between the positions of the People's Party and Jiangsu. Jiangsu's parliamentarians and gentry have a "victim" mentality. Naturally, the BJP cannot accept the dominance. Xie Mingxian is very clear about this, it is really "whoever wins can be generous", and the People's Party, as a strong party, crushes other regions with systems and systems. Under the situation of comprehensive advantage, Xie Mingxian is not in a hurry.

The Jiangsu gentry firmly demanded to take the lead, which was not an attitude of cooperation. Xie Mingxian glanced at Wang Youhong, "Governor Wang, let's just talk about it here." I have been instructed to come only to propose such a plan, and if you cannot accept it, I will go back. How long do you think it will take to get me a message? ”

"This matter is very involved, and it will delay Mr. Xie for a few more days. We'd better come up with a charter for discussion. Wang Youhong replied.

"How long will it take?" Xie Mingxian didn't want to stay here indefinitely.

"Within three days, we will tell Mr. Xie how long it will take to negotiate and come up with a result." Wang Youhong replied very refreshingly.

As soon as Xie Mingxian left, Wang Youhong was immediately questioned by the parliamentarians like a storm. After listening to this bunch of opinions, Wang Youhong asked: "Everyone, what is your highest hope?" ”

"The highest expectations?" The parliamentarians were puzzled.

"The highest expectation is what level of talk people want this deal to be the best. For example, let's let the People's Party let us take care of the sales channels? Or do you hand over the silkworm seeds and let us get them? Or is it that we set the price at which the People's Party buys our raw silk? Wang Youhong explained to the gentry what the highest expectation was, and mocked with a gun and a stick in his words.

The content of these mockery is actually what the gentry really want, and it is also the content that many people did not say directly in the negotiations, but hinted at openly and secretly. However, everyone can be elected as a member of parliament, and there is still a self-knowledge of this idea. The People's Party came to negotiate instead of bringing troops to kill them, which is already a very peaceful approach. It's simply not possible to be anti-customer-oriented.

The congressmen dared to be so arrogant, because they were only facing Xie Mingxian and two other negotiators, and they had an advantage in numbers, and they were local to Jiangsu, so they also had a sense of psychological superiority. Now that Xie Mingxian is gone, Wang Youhong has made his words clear, and the parliamentarians also feel that their words have gone too far.

Zhang Yutong hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, what do you think?" ”

"I don't understand silk, are these raw silks of the People's Party really so good?" Wang Youhong asked.

This question made the already battered mood of the gentry even more depressed. The parliamentarians looked at the raw silk samples in front of them, and they were tempted to say that the raw silk was used by the People's Party to bluff the Jiangsu gentry. However, everyone is a person who knows the goods, sericulture production is a very batch thing, silkworm cocoons are calculated according to the unit of "cloth", because everyone will let silkworm moths lay eggs on the cloth, and a cloth is hundreds of silkworm eggs. The quality of each batch of silkworm eggs is the same. This shows that the People's Party has really got good silkworm seeds.

"This raw silk is really good, we can't compare it now." Zhang Yutong replied.

Wang Youhong said calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we in southern Jiangsu have always attached importance to silkworms, and the silkworms in Anhui have not become a climate at all. Compared with the experience of planting mulberry and raising silkworms, the People's Party can't catch up with us. That's right. ”

The parliamentarians expressed their approval one after another, saying that they did not actually use military forces to solve the people's party's grand plan, and they just did not have the psychological ability to accept that Jiangsu's mulberry sericulture was completely crushed by the people's party.

Wang Youhong continued: "Everyone has been to Anhui to investigate, and a lot of the news is still told to me. The planting of mulberry, silkworm raising, and silk reeling in Anhui are chains organized by the local government. All the people who participated just had to work. Don't be self-financed. Therefore, the People's Party can unify silkworm seeds, purchase silkworms, and reel silk. If you think about it, the People's Party is stronger than us. ”

Listening to Wang Youhong's words, the parliamentarians have already understood what Wang Youhong meant, as the current top official in Jiangsu, Wang Youhong wants to meddle in the sericulture industry. Imitate the model of the BJP to form a completely new system of production. Many gentry had vaguely guessed Wang Youhong's plan before this negotiation, and everyone just refused to allow the government in charge of Wang Youhong to intervene in this matter, so they would try their best to save the situation. Although it is impossible to refute Wang Youhong's words, many lawmakers still use silence to express their attitudes.

"I know you're afraid that if the government gets involved in this deal, it will take away everyone's profits. However, looking at what the BJP has done, it is clear that this is not the case. I don't know if you are willing to hear it. Wang Youhong said.

"Please give me advice." The parliamentarians did not dare to prevent Wang Youhong from speaking.

"This is the means of production, labor, and profit." Wang Youhong took a piece of paper and wrote it down on paper.

After more than an hour of explanation, the parliamentarians understood a little bit about what kind of exploitation law capitalism is. In the course of the explanation, the parliamentarians who had come to understand it first had become excited. Looking at their excited appearance of "dying at night", Wang Youhong smiled bitterly in his heart. When he saw the article "Introduction to Marx on Surplus Value" written by Chen Ke, Wang Youhong was completely convinced by Chen Ke and the master surnamed Ma.

In particular, the sentence "The transition from commodities to money is a thrilling jump." Wang Youhong even shouted at the case! Many of the things that had bothered him were completely unraveled at this moment.

Although it is not clear what joints Chen Ke has opened, Wang Youhong can be sure that Chen Ke's People's Party has undoubtedly found a way to easily get through this "thrilling jump" in the mulberry sericulture. The landlords in southern Jiangsu, on the other hand, were squeezed out by the burgeoning People's Party. After hearing Xie Mingxian's suggestion that the People's Party could provide Jiangsu with the entire production and sales chain, it was no longer a question of whether Wang Youhong would agree. Wang Youhong's only concern is how to ensure that this cooperative relationship can be fulfilled and maintained.

Therefore, the Jiangsu parliamentarians did not pay attention to the "four-year cooperation agreement" proposed by Xie Mingxian, but Wang Youhong could not but pay attention to this key issue of time. If no agreement can be reached, Jiangsu mulberry sericulture is a dead end. Even if an agreement can be reached, the Jiangsu sericulture industry is likely to be dead end four years later.

Watching parliamentarians admire and appreciate the theory of "surplus value", self-righteous parliamentarians talk to parliamentarians who have not yet fully understood how much profit can be made through the exploitation of labor. Wang Youhong felt a kind of sadness in his heart.

At a time when Chen Ke, a young man, had already put his theory into practice, such a group of useless parliamentarians had not yet understood this truth. If the People's Party, with an average age of less than 30 years old, is attacked by Chen Ke and his education in the future, will Wang Youhong and this group of parliamentarians with an average age of more than 40 have the ability to resist? I'm afraid that the result of resistance is that there is not even a scum left, right?

Thinking of this, Wang Youhong suddenly understood one thing, why Chen Ke never hesitated to pass on his knowledge to the members of the People's Party. Even if he can't be the emperor, when Chen Ke is alive, he can dominate the world and establish unparalleled achievements.

But Wang Youhong's subordinates are all such a group of fools, and no matter how much Wang Youhong tries to establish Wang Youhong's own Jiangsu Kingdom, it is all in vain.

"Chen Ke, grandpa, I will mark it with you, what you say, I will follow. Grandpa, I want to see what you can do! Wang Youhong's heart flashed with pathetic determination.
