Chapter 10 Small Harvest
"I have a great responsibility in this matter." Elena sighed.
Yang Wendong glanced at the white female Madonna in front of him, but then thought that she would be his big customer in the future.
So he comforted and said: "You can't be blamed for this. That man chose not to go to the hospital. No one can force him.
Besides, his original intention is to save money. Taking care of one’s own daughter is just an ordinary person’s helplessness.”
Elena shook her head and said: "I don't mean this, but the Hawker Management Team...
The existence of these people has a lot to do with me!"
" Was it you who promoted the establishment of the Hawker Management Team?" Yang Wendong was a little surprised.
Having been here for a few days, especially after Abiao beat up the hawker a few days ago, Yang Wendong has also become more cautious. In this era, one sentence may offend someone, and this will result.
Now that it was still under the control of the Hawker Management Team, he naturally found someone to ask about the basic situation.
The Hawker Management Team was established a few years ago. As for how it was established and why it replaced the previous gang members and police, I don't know.
Now it seems that the official behavior has something to do with Elena in front of her.
Elena nodded and said: "Yes, I came to Hong Kong after World War II and saw with my own eyes the suffering of too many lower-class citizens in Hong Kong, and hawkers are one of them.
< br>They ran a small business, and were often extorted by several different gang members, and the police would also take their share. Many of them were forced to live.
Later, some of us. The Hong Kong government pushed for legislation and established a hawker management team, but in the end, it still couldn't solve the problem. In the words of you Chinese, what is it called a tiger's den or a wolf's den? "
"You just came out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den!" Yang Wendong corrected him, and then said: "Actually, you have done a good job. How can such a problem related to the essence of society be so easy to solve and be better than before? Just do it step by step.”
“It’s not always like this.” Elena shook her head and said, “In some places, or sometimes, the vendor management team does better things than the police did before. Or the gang members go too far.
Especially some gang members, after they have official status, they still take advantage of it, just like some hawker management teams did a few days ago. The police are harsher than before, forcing many people to stop doing business. "
"Because the police have many ways to get money, but the hawker management team can only squeeze the hawkers," Yang Wendong said with a smile. .
An iron rule of any era: after the little guy gains power, he will only exploit others in a more ruthless way.
Elena glanced at Yang Wendong in surprise and said, "Have you ever been to school before?"
"No." Yang Wendong replied, this body could not have starved to death when he was a child. That's good, he's still in school...
Now that Su Yiyi is still with him, he can't make nonsense.
Elena's expression was even more strange and she said: "You are different from other hawkers. Last time I saw you, I thought you were very similar to me as a government official, but I couldn't tell you how similar you were. Come out.
I had a casual chat with you today and I understand that you are very knowledgeable and insightful, but you have never been to school. Is it really strange? "
Yang Wendong smiled and explained: "Just because I didn't go to school, it doesn't mean that school is the only place where I can learn.
In this society, there are all kinds of learning opportunities, whether it is as small as this vegetable market or a factory, or as large as a large company or within the government. "
In his previous life, he struggled in society and learned far more than what he learned in school.
"Awesome. Elena suddenly became interested and asked: "Then what do you think can be done to help these vendors so that they will not be bullied?" You are also a hawker here, so you must have thought about this problem, right? ”
“I haven’t thought about it.” Yang Wendong shrugged.
Elina asked: "Why? Don't you want to do business in a better environment."
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "It is difficult to change the environment, although it is theoretically feasible.
It would be easier and more effective for me to change myself. ”
Elena also understood and asked: "You mean, if you have the ability, you will leave here in the future?"
"Yes, if you have the ability, you will naturally leave." Yang Wendong said.
"Yes, for me personally, this is the best way." Elena nodded, sighed and said, "Is there really no other way?"
"Actually, , the essence of this problem is not itself, but the social environment." Yang Wendong thought for a while and continued to brag.
He felt that the white virgin in front of him might really have a little influence in the Hong Kong government, which might be of great help to his future small business.
Even if you don't make a mousetrap anymore and do some other business, it will definitely be helpful to you to hook up with someone like this.
At least this is a possibility.
Therefore, he needs to show his ability as much as possible to let the other party remember him. If he is even worse, he can sell more mousetraps.
"You mean, corruption?" Elena asked, she also understood this truth.
Yang Wendong shook his head and said: "It's not corruption. The problem of corruption is just a symptom. The root cause lies in the economy."
"Economy?" Elena glanced at Yang Wendong and asked: "You mean if the economy improves, these problems will disappear? Not necessarily?"
Yang Wendong said: "Not necessarily, corruption There will definitely still be problems, but it will definitely be much better.
For example, if there are many factories and many people in Dongcai Chang are oppressed by the hawker management team, they can go to work in the factory. Then do you think the hawker management team would dare to be so arrogant and domineering? "
"But factories also oppress workers!" Elena said.
Yang Wendong said: "That is also because there are too few factories and too many people. If the reverse is true, there are many factories and few people. In order to retain employees, do you think factory owners dare to bully workers?"< br>
"It seems reasonable." Elena nodded.
Yang Wendong added: "So, the economy is the root of all problems. When the economy is good, the bottom will be good. Maybe some people are still not doing well.
But the opposite is true. , if the economy is not good, then all the people at the bottom will live in hell.”
Elena thought for a moment and said: "Although I have only chatted with you for a few minutes, I feel that you are really knowledgeable.
I have also met many Chinese businessmen, ages I am much older than you and have been in the Hong Kong business world for many years, but my insights are not as good as yours.”
"It's just a useless theory. Now I just want to make more money." Yang Wendong laughed.
Elina nodded and said: "Well, if your mousetrap works well, I will continue to come to you later."
