That afternoon, Yang Liufang was still in the tannery, and it was also the headquarters of the group company that received a social practice group from his hometown. He explained the development of animal husbandry in the northwest, the help of tanneries to herdsmen, the planning of factory product lines, the treatment process of sewage, etc. Let these college students from developed provinces see that even though they are far inland, the entrepreneurs here are capable, responsible, and full of love for the land in the northwest.
The 14th is Sunday, and the Xizhou Fair venue has an influx of idle Xizhou citizens on Sundays, with the flow of people reaching its peak. Faced with the fresh and cheap products coming from other provinces and cities, Xizhou citizens have never spared their wallets. A shopping feast. Lao Zhou's VCD exhibition hall has entered a crazy sales mode again. This year, Lao Zhou has introduced new tricks. Various lottery draws and karaoke singing competition scoring and rankings are emerging one after another. Citizens gather in his exhibition hall, which is very lively. Of course, huge customer flow means huge consumption. With his products, the films range from "Little Flower" to "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" to "Desire", and even the latest "The Story of the Editorial Department", except in mainland China. Yes, there are also films from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and the United States. The song CDs are also very popular, including music charts, top ten Chinese hits, and albums of major pop singers, and are highly favored by the public. It is difficult to buy a home theater that costs tens of thousands of dollars and a color TV that costs several thousand dollars, but it is effortless to buy a disc that costs a few dollars. In addition, after one year of sales in Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative, there are 10,000 VCDs in Xizhou, so the demand for discs is greater than last year.
Yang Liufang had a tiring day receiving the inspection team. After Northwest Maple reported on the opening ceremony, the forum, and the second day of the Western Conference, there were only a few location shooting tasks today in preparation for the closing ceremony tomorrow. After completing the reception task, Yang Liufang took Northwest Feng back to Wolongshan Hotel. He was ready to enjoy the couple's world and avoid being disturbed. Both of them muted their respective eldest brothers.
It was already noon when he woke up. Yang Liufang picked up the phone and saw that there were six missed calls, including those from Li Tongfu, Wang Shan, and Lao Chen. Northwest Feng also picked up her phone from the bedside and looked at it, and found that in addition to her parents, there were also calls from Li Tongfu. When Yang Liufang heard that Li Tongfu's phone calls had reached her, it seemed that it was urgent, so she hurriedly called back. After the call was connected, a woman's cry and Yanhua's comforting voice came from the phone.
"Mr. Yang." As soon as Li Tongfu spoke, the other party heard that it was Yang Liufang and cried even louder: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu If I can't save Lao Zhou, I won't live."
"Brother, what's going on?"
"Alas! Lao Zhou was arrested at the Western Conference."
"What? The scene! Didn't it cause any impact?" Yang Liufang asked anxiously, his voice changed.
"No, he was arrested outside the venue, in the parking lot of the People's Hall."
"You're not selling pirated discs again, are you? You haven't learned your lesson yet!"
"No, he is selling pornographic CDs. In front of his car, everyone gets the stolen goods. Now my sister-in-law is here, she has been crying here for a long time, and she can't stop her no matter how hard she tries."
"Ask Lawyer Liu how he will deal with it? Can he get a light sentence like a fine or something?"
"Liu Lu learned about the situation and said that the circumstances this time were particularly serious and violated the Criminal Law. In addition, he disrupted the order of major events in the province and had a criminal record. It must have been more than three years."
"Oh, then let's do our best. If we can reduce the cost, let Liu Lu handle it. It has nothing to do with us. In addition, in accordance with the regulations of the group company, we will close his shop."
"This is not good. It feels like adding insult to injury. Besides, they have just paid the second year's rent."
"Follow the system and serve as a warning to others."
"My dear, why don't you take a moment?" Northwest Feng said softly from the side.
"Well, let Liu Lu make an announcement after finishing the matter. The recovered shops will be re-rented, minus three months, and the second year will be paid annually together with other merchants."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Liufang thought about it again and called Lao Chen back.
"Brother Chen, I already know the situation. I just had a phone call with Mr. Li. According to the group company system, he took over his store and deducted the rent for three months and refunded it to them. This matter will be announced after Lawyer Liu handles it. In addition, the store When renting, you can notify Lao Zhou's son in advance and let him participate in the auction and sell CDs, but you must not break the law like his father did."
"Okay, Mr. Li, let me thank you on behalf of Lao Zhou. Although he is sorry for you, you are definitely a brother to him."
"Oh, Brother Chen, after all, we are all brothers from Wenzhou!" Yang Liufang still has the unity and loyalty of Wenzhou people in his heart. Northwest Feng, who had finished brushing her teeth, came out of the bathroom and rewarded him with a kiss after hearing what he did.
The two got up and had lunch. After finishing their lunch, they went home to pick up Xi's father and Xi's mother and came to Xiqiahui to buy some things that the old man liked. It was also the first time for both of them to visit the Xixi Fair in earnest, especially in the food exhibition area, where popular fruits such as longan from the south, raisins from Xinjiang, and wolfberries from Ningxia were all available, attracting many elderly women and children. Competition to buy. Father and mother also bought some. They saw that they were Mr. Yang’s family members at the opening ceremony and didn’t charge anyone who recognized them. The old man has been honest all his life. If he doesn't accept the money, he won't give it up, so the merchant only charges a token amount.
Yang Liufang also took the two elderly people to visit their group's exhibition area. From furniture to mattresses to auto parts, they are all products that are practical for the people. In the Sha Development Area, Wang Shan, wearing a suit and leather tie, held a walkie-talkie and communicated orders with the heads of various stores. Their exhibits, except for VCDs, are all bulk order products. According to the requirements, if the amount exceeds 10 million, it must be signed at the closing ceremony signing ceremony tomorrow. All agreements of intent within 10 million were signed directly by Wang Shan on site. The formal contract will be signed by Li Tongfu after it is returned to the group company.
I saw Yang Liufang and Bei Xifeng accompanying the two old people to visit the exhibition hall. Although I didn't recognize them, they must have been leaders at the provincial and ministerial level or above who could have Mr. Yang personally accompany them. Knowing that they were distinguished guests, they hurriedly received them in person and introduced the products. Voices came from the intercom from time to time, asking him to go to a certain exhibition hall to sign autographs. Yang Liufang asked him to go ahead and go back, saying that he would go shopping with the old man.
I also visited Lao Zhou's store. The goods had been replaced by a home theater, and Xizhou's promotional video was playing. But the "Global Audio and Video World" billboard above the door is still there, with photos and stills of celebrities such as Andy Lau and Ge You printed on it. Yang Liufang shook his head after looking at it. After the four of them visited the exhibition site, Yang Liufang originally wanted to treat the two elders to dinner at the Wolongshan Hotel, but the elder said that there were too many people there and it would not look good without greetings, so it was better to find a clean and tidy place where the family could have a peaceful meal. meal. Yang Liufang took the two old men back to the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative, called Director Wang, and invited his family to come to the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Canteen to get together. It happened that Xi's father and Xi's mother had not seen this nephew for a long time, so the whole family happily accepted the invitation.
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Yanhua personally greeted them, asked them to go to the supply and marketing cooperative's store, and then led them to the canteen on the second floor for dinner. The two old men saw that the windows of the canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative were bright and clean, and it was more beautiful than what they had seen on TV. They then looked at the vegetable prices in the windows. The prices were not bad, and they nodded while looking at them. The director of the cafeteria carefully accompanied him behind. After the tour, please go to the private room. The director personally took the menu and ordered the dishes. Then he cooked a few special dishes. He also took out his treasured Maotai to entertain the two old people. The old people were quite satisfied with their meal. Before leaving, they praised the canteen director. The director said humbly: "Uncle and aunt, we like to eat. Tell us Mr. Yang and I will send it to you."
"Isn't that possible? Doesn't that mean corruption and privilege? We don't take the lead, and you don't want to do those things either. Take advantage of the great opportunity of reform and opening up, run a good business, and let the citizens of Xizhou eat clean and safe dishes."
"Remember it, uncle, what you taught is what you taught me."
Yang Liufang wanted to know something about Lao Zhou, so he asked Beifeng to drive his car to take the old man home first, and then he took Director Wang's car back to the hotel. In the car, he listened to Director Wang talk about Lao Zhou. . It turns out that Lao Zhou doesn't do this business for a day or two anymore. He does it all the time when he is in the supply and marketing cooperative, but he doesn't sell it in the store. Rumor has it: "Ninety percent of the video stores in Xizhou come to Lao Zhou for supplies, and 100% of the yellow discs come to Lao Zhou." Every time there is an order, he drives his own car, works on the go, and specializes in finding On the bank of a fast-flowing river, if he noticed something was wrong, he would immediately throw the disc into the water and drive away. Even if the police caught him, there would be no evidence and the disc would have been washed away by the river.
This time, because the business at the exhibition was busy, he made an appointment with the customer to pick up the goods in the parking lot of the Xichai Fair. In order to maintain the stability of the Western Conference, the Public Security Department of Northwest Province not only arranged for police officers in police uniforms to be on duty, but also arranged many plainclothes officers. There happened to be a plainclothes man on duty in the parking lot that day. He saw Lao Zhou and the person who came to pick up the goods sneaking around. He also saw Lao Zhou taking out a box of goods from the Santana trunk. The other party opened the package and looked at it. There was something vaguely written on the cover of the disc package. They were all men and women without clothes, and they immediately came forward to ask. The two of them had something going on in their hearts, so they ran away and scattered the discs all over the floor. Now the police had a clearer view and determined that they were selling and distributing obscene materials for profit, which had violated the criminal law. They immediately used the walkie-talkie to call out the people who were also on duty nearby. The police caught the two of them in the parking lot. After all, there were only a few people who owned cars in the 1990s, so the venue was not alarmed at all. The police at the venue were notified and confiscated their goods at that time. They mobilized the people selling home theaters in the exhibition hall and built several home theaters to occupy his booth and play city promotional videos.
Lao Zhou's wife and son were also called to the office by the police at the venue. They said that they found counterfeit money at her home and asked him to register the loss and pay compensation after the fair was over. When they arrived at the office, the police announced the facts of Lao Zhou's crime on the spot and The two were temporarily detained and did not return to the stall.
