The natural resources and industrial foundation of Mande Country are very good. It was once the most developed country in the Black Wasteland, and it still is today, but it has declined compared to twenty years ago.
In the past ten years, the economy of Mande has grown slowly, the public security situation has continued to deteriorate, various social conflicts have become increasingly prominent, order has collapsed, and various conflicts often break out.
Relatively speaking, Mande Country is still one of the countries with the highest level of economic development in the Black Continent. Despite various problems, the situation is much better than that of Kiri Country. Its per capita GDP is that of Kiri Country.
Dozens of times, for example, the security situation, no matter how bad it gets, is much better than that of Fiso Port.
Of course, from the perspective of order and social stability, most areas of the Mandal Kingdom cannot be compared with today's Kelin District. However, the emergence of the Kelin District in the Kingdom of Kilili is a very special situation and does not have universal representative significance.
, at least not yet.
Boss Huang has opened a processing factory in a coastal city in Mande Country for more than ten years. The decline of Mande Country cannot be blamed on him. He is just a businessman and cannot change the general environment.
What Old Man Yang wants to know is the situation of the factory itself. The key point is what it has brought to the local area, what it has left behind, and what impact it has caused? The answer is actually already there.
Boss Huang brought a handicraft workshop to the local area, provided dozens of jobs, took away more than 20 lives, and left almost nothing behind. In terms of impact, it may have made the local people have a negative impression of Dongzhou or Dongzhou.
Chinese businessmen have become more hostile, making Chinese people of Eastern descent more likely to become targets of various violent crimes.
To say that there are actually positive effects, it depends on the person. Boss Huang himself used the money he earned to buy two properties in Honggang. They are said to be over 1,000 square feet of luxury homes, but they are actually two properties with an area of more than 100 square meters.
housing.
Boss Huang has been running a processing factory for more than ten years. At its peak, it employed more than 30 workers, and at its lowest, it employed more than a dozen workers. The wages he paid were the average level of local employees, barely making ends meet.
There is no obvious improvement in workers' lives, so it remains the same.
It did not cause obvious damage to the local reef environment. Because the beaches there are almost all reef landforms and there are many wild abalone resources. With the scale of his small processing plant, he can fully guarantee continued exploitation.
However, there is a certain risk in harvesting fresh abalone on the reef, especially the complete fresh abalone that is large enough, in good enough quality, and meets Boss Huang’s purchase requirements. The abalone is attached to the reef and will emerge from the water when the tide goes out, especially
The best-looking abalone can only be picked when the astronomical tide recedes.
In fact, you can also use diving equipment to collect fresh abalone on underwater reefs, but the technical requirements and costs are higher, and it is more dangerous, so it is almost unnecessary locally.
If you go to the rocks to pick abalone when the tide is low, you may accidentally go too far into the sea, or you may be greedy and want to pick a few more abalone, or you may lose track of time while searching and not realize that the tide has risen.
The rising tide, especially the rising tide after the spring tide, is very fast and rough. If you don't pay attention when you rise again, you may have been trapped on the rocks by the tide. Sooner or later, the rising tide will also submerge the rocks where you stand, and
The reef area is not suitable for swimming, and the surge may knock people onto the reef.
The reefs on the beach are often very sharp, with various shellfish attached to them, just like rows of knives. Even if you are not trapped by the high tide, you will be cut accidentally when picking abalone. And the reef landforms
It is rugged and it is easy to fall when climbing, in which case the injury will be more serious.
In the past ten years, more than 20 people died in the local area while fishing for abalone, an average of two a year. Most of them died from shipwrecks trapped by high tides, and a small number died from worsening infections after being injured while fishing for abalone.
However, Boss Huang does not need to be responsible for this, and the processing factory does not need to provide pensions and compensation. Because he only hired workers to process abalone, and did not hire workers to harvest fresh abalone. The processing factory only purchased fresh abalone.
Seeing that abalone can be sold for money, local residents took shovels and went to the beach at low tide to look for fresh abalone that met the purchase requirements. This was a spontaneous act, and they are responsible for any accidents.
Although there is no way to hold Boss Huang responsible, it is impossible for the locals to have a good impression of Boss Huang. There are many people who hate him, but Boss Huang himself has made a fortune.
When the turmoil broke out, the local bodyguards hired by Boss Huang betrayed him, the factory was smashed, and some people wanted to kidnap him... These all had dual reasons.
After Boss Huang left Mande Country, the processing factory was abandoned. Even if the locals can process the dried abalone, they don't know who to sell it to, and they don't know how to eat it.
Old Man Yang doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but as long as he meddles in something, he will take it very seriously, and it's definitely not just a formality.
He also heard that Boss Huang wanted to open a processing factory, so he went to Gao Huaitong to understand the situation, and assigned Gao Huaitong a task, asking Director Gao to investigate as thoroughly as possible and provide a brief introduction to the situation.
This information was now thrown to Hua Zhenxing, and Manman also came over to read it together. Manman was literate, but she still couldn't understand such complicated Dongguan material, and she still needed to make up for the lessons. Fortunately, Xiaohua explained it to her.
Old Man Yang ignored what Xiaohua thought of the materials and still held the tea cup and said: "Invest? It's not like no one has invested here. Many countries have come here, so what's the result? Let alone selling abalone, this place has a history of continuous investment.
Everyone has sold it! So what now?
As long as there are opportunities to make money, there will be no shortage of people like Boss Huang. But do you think the current Kelin District really needs people like Boss Huang to run a factory like that?
If that's the case, why are we struggling so far, and what is the difference from the former Feso Port?"
Huazhenxing can now imagine what it would be like if Boss Huang's plan was to cooperate with Huanxiang Industrial to open a processing plant.
The reason why he wanted to cooperate with Huanxiang Industrial Co., Ltd. was because Boss Huang wanted to monopolize this business. His processing factory in Mandeguo has never been able to expand its scale because of various local conditions. He could not hire so many workers and the business environment was difficult.
Not guaranteed.
In Kelin District, with the help of Huanxiang Industrial, Boss Huang can make the scale as large as possible.
But the situation here is different from that in Mande. The more than ten kilometers of reef coast seems to have a lot of wild abalone, but in fact the resources are limited. If they are exhausted in a short time, it will take time to recover.
Very long.
Boss Huang can quickly make another big sum of money, but what will he leave behind for Fiso Port? If he still follows the same model as he did in Mande, it will even cause many conflicts that the new alliance has been trying to avoid.
Old man Yang saw that Hua Zhenxing was silent and looked like he was being taught. The more he scolded, the more he felt. He pointed his fan at Hua Zhenxing and said: "Everything we do, we must think about the purpose? Come on, what is the purpose?"
Reading a book
Nowadays, some people talk about not forgetting their original intention every day, but they can't remember it when doing things!
Let me ask you again, why did you escort Dr. Luo in the first place, and why did you want to kill Jin Datou? Why didn't you help Jin Datou kill Dr. Luo? You knew it very well at that time, are you confused now?
I am not opposed to opening an abalone processing factory, but I will never support Boss Huang in opening such an abalone processing factory. What is your purpose in building the Kelin District? Is it to help people like Boss Huang make money?"
Hua Zhenxing has completely understood why Old Man Yang wants to teach him a lesson. The three old people are all above the level of Feixian. Boss Huang can see through the little tricks with closed eyes. They are just helping Hua Zhenxing.
Why are you helping Hua Zhenxing? Help him make a lot of money and enjoy a comfortable life? In fact, they don't need any more help. Hua Zhenxing can already do it by himself, and it feels good.
But is this the only purpose of Hua Zhenxing? He wants to change Fesuo Port, change the world he has seen since childhood, and create Zhenxing State and even a Huanxiang State with territory all over the world.
Letting Boss Huang open such a processing factory in Kelin District will not bring any positive impact, and it is even contrary to his wishes.
In fact, Huazhenxing did not do it on purpose. He was interested in this project and lacked understanding of Boss Huang. He just wanted to use local resources to develop the economy.
When people encounter specific things, they often get entangled in the details and forget the fundamentals. For example, economic development is to transform the world and make it better, so you must do it in this way, otherwise you will go astray.
Old man Yang is right, let alone selling abalone, people have been sold here in history!
The practice of monks ultimately points to self-sufficiency in body and mind, and transcendence from the involution of the human world. The same is true for people's expectations for social development, but monks find a path that points directly to the goal and practice for it. This is what Old Man Yang told me not long ago
If Hua Zhen can do it.
However, monks are not able to be physically and mentally self-sufficient from the beginning. Most people will never reach their ultimate goal in their lifetime. They are still living in the human world, so they must be clear about their physical and mental needs.
If Huanxiang Industrial really cooperates with Boss Huang to open such a processing plant, even if it puts forward some more conditions and asks for more shares, it will be nothing to others, but to Huazhenxing, it should not be done in the eyes of Old Man Yang
mistake.
Satisfied with Hua Zhenxing's attitude of listening with an open mind, Old Man Yang felt that he had almost learned the lesson, so he softened his tone and said, "I can't blame you entirely. You have no experience and have not understood the situation in advance."
Manman suddenly interjected: "Mr. Yang, Xiaohua didn't say that he wanted to cooperate with Boss Huang! He didn't say a word just now, why are you criticizing him?
Although Xiaohua doesn't understand the situation, you do. If you had shown this material to Xiaohua in advance, he would never negotiate cooperation according to Boss Huang's wishes. Did you do it on purpose?"
That's right! Hua Zhenxing suddenly realized that this was the first time he met Boss Huang today, and Old Man Yang directly stepped in to make the decision. He stood aside without saying anything, so why was he inexplicably scolded?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Old Man Yang glanced over with sharp eyes and said: "Manman just spoke for you, but I ask you, if I am not here today and you have not seen this material, will you agree to it?"
Have you cooperated with Boss Huang?"
The dissatisfaction that had just arisen in his heart suddenly dissipated. Old Yang's eyesight was indeed very good and he saw through everything. Hua Zhenxing lowered his head and said, "Yes, you are right.
If you hadn't been here tonight and I hadn't seen this material, I should have agreed to cooperate with Boss Huang. It's just a matter of buying more shares and raising a few conditions. I would still be very happy and feel that I have done something great.
A good thing."
Old Man Yang waved his fan: "In that case, it's up to you to organize the establishment of the Baobao processing factory yourself. Manman can help with guidance, and I won't care about it! As for how to deal with Boss Huang, it's up to you as well.
It's up to you."
Hua Zhenxing: "You made it very clear just now. I know what to do."
Old Man Yang turned to look at Manman again, and said with a pleasant expression: "Our main task now is to farm, but it is not farming for the sake of farming. Farming does not just mean growing crops in the ground.
We need to make up lessons here, mainly about farming civilization, which is not inconsistent with the development of industry. Even many industrialized countries now need to make up this lesson.
Many excellent ideas in human history, including moral character, did not come out of thin air. They came from the thinking and reflection of wise men on a micro level, and on the macro level they came from the observations and summaries of the agricultural era.
First of all, you know that if you don’t work, you will gain nothing, and then you know that if you don’t learn, you have no skills, and if you don’t practice, you have no virtue. If you don’t work, if you don’t learn, you don’t know how to practice, you will have no virtue, and if you don’t have virtue, you will have chaos in government. The so-called political person, the order is correct.
, if the order is not correct, the world will fail.
If you work diligently in the field, you will be in tune with the weather, and then you will know that if you work hard in human affairs, you will follow the principles of the Tao. By managing water and farming, you can know the beauty of harmony.
When we old guys taught the world, we did not just talk about principles. Xiao Ke talked about etiquette, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, and trust; Lao Mo talked about helping each other and benefiting each other; when I talked about frugality and kindness, we had to refer to things.
The little Chinese is cautious. If he wants to change the world, just think of it as changing the world. Then he has to do things. Every time he does something, he must think about what changes it will bring and what impact it will have. See the consequences and know the consequences..."
I don’t know how much Manman could understand. She nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Regardless of whether she understood it or not, she had memorized all of it carefully.
The establishment of Huanxiang Industry, the emergence of the new alliance, and the creation of the Kelin District, not to mention the impact on other people, the entire Poseidon clan has benefited the most from it so far, and Manman understands this deeply.
Who knows that Manman and Xiaohua are the closest to each other? She comes to the grocery store to help when she has nothing to do, and she often listens to Old Man Yang's chatter.
