Dashan Makes a Living 1984 - Chapter 207
Chapter 207 203: Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods
Wang Tianxiao didn’t want such a thing to happen under his nose, all he could do was to avoid it as much as possible.
Wu Ping didn’t understand it at first, so Wang Tianxiao explained it to him.
I slowly accepted it.
And he found that according to Wang Tianxiao’s people-oriented management model, not only did the factory’s profits not decrease, but because the production efficiency became much higher, the benefits were even better.
In the past, the employees were only polite to him, without any feeling of closeness, but now the employees are very enthusiastic when they see him every day, and even actively greet him.
They all said that the factory gave them a good sense of belonging.
This is something Wu Ping never thought about before.
When he told Zhang Wenyuan these things with surprise, Zhang Wenyuan laughed and said: “Let me tell you, this old Wang, he is not an ordinary person, you never know what he is thinking, anyway, it is beyond your expectation That’s it.”
“That’s right, I really admire him, and sometimes I even feel that he manages the business better than you.”
“Well, isn’t that a good thing? To tell you the truth, brother-in-law, I plan to cooperate with Lao Wang in the future. I found him a very strange person when I chatted with him for the first time a long time ago.”
“weirdo?”
“Yes, how should I put it…” Zhang Wenyuan thought for a while, and finally smiled: “I feel that he seems to be a superior person.”
“don’t know.”
“That is to say, he always seems to look at things from a very high perspective, as if looking down from the sky. Unlike us, he mostly sees things at the same level, yes, like a fairy.”
“You’ve made it more and more mysterious.”
“Haha, it’s a bit mysterious. But it’s okay, you’ve known him for a while, and you can see his character. Not only is it okay, but I think he has a natural compassion, which is very good. Good. When we do business, we must pay attention to maximizing profits, but we must not lose our conscience because of this.”
“Well, that’s the truth.”
”Money, earn it slowly, how much you earn is too much, if it is only for spending money, then we can’t spend all the money we earn now, and we can’t realize the value more.
Since this is the case, then I hope that everything we do can be displayed in an upright manner. Otherwise, one day we will do something big, but we will always be on tenterhooks, always thinking about what to do if someone finds out something. If things go on like this, no matter how great our achievements are, it will seem very boring, don’t you think? “
Wu Ping kept Zhang Wenyuan’s words in his heart.
He faintly felt that Zhang Wenyuan had gradually changed a bit.
At least the original him didn’t think about it that way. Although he wasn’t absolutely mean, he wasn’t even close to being generous.
It can only be said that Wang Tianxiao made him change these.
Under the subtle influence, a real transformation took place quietly.
Wang Tianxiao didn’t know that Wu Ping secretly had a new understanding of him, from being dubious to trusting him now.
Wang Tianxiao is a little slow on certain things.
Most of the time, he only wants to do what he should do well. Once things go well, he often forgets to look up at the surrounding scenery occasionally.
Fortunately, Wu Ping and Zhang Wenyuan are the kind of people who can accommodate others. They discovered Wang Tianxiao’s point and didn’t take it to heart.
In their eyes, this look is very interesting, even so cute.
Seriously cute.
He can obviously meet these requirements a lot, and obviously already has living conditions that many people don’t have, but he never shows off, giving people the impression that he is very quiet and simple, as if he is a very wise old man.
Wang Tianxiao is more concerned about many things about Wenyuan Precast Factory, but he doesn’t even ask about the financial situation.
Although Zhang Wenyuan has already signed an agreement with him to give him 20% of the shares, that is to say, he has shared 20% of the profits purely by thinking and technology.
He has the right to look at the financial situation.
But he just doesn’t look at it.
It’s still the same reason. His interest in making money at the moment is to have the original funds, which is enough for him to start what he wants to do. Others are not considered for the time being.
He is not serious, and he is satisfied if he can get 20% of the share.
He believes that Zhang Wenyuan will not go too far. On the other hand, if Zhang Wenyuan thinks that 20% is too much, he doesn’t have to give him that kind of promise at the beginning, and if he thinks it’s too much now, he wants to deduct part of it secretly, and Wang Tianxiao doesn’t care.
It’s good to have some, and you can’t be too serious about being a human being.
This opportunity to make money was provided by him, but after all, many contacts, processes, including all funds came from Zhang Wenyuan.
People are willing to believe in him, which is why this opportunity has been facilitated, but it also bears huge risks.
Greed is a big mistake of people.
Wang Tianxiao warns himself almost every day that he should not be greedy for anything except feelings.
When people are very greedy, they often fall into other people’s traps unknowingly, or fall into their own stupid world and cannot extricate themselves, and at that time, it is the beginning of failure.
Being sober is something he has insisted on for a long time.
In the afternoon, Wang Tianxiao came to Wang Dabao’s house and checked the electricity meters of all the households that Wang Tianxiao had copied.
It turns out that there are more than a dozen electric meters that are significantly smaller than the average.
He smiled and nodded: “Sure enough.”
“What?” Wang Dabao looked at him in surprise, and said worriedly, “Tianxiao, what do you mean, are these dozen or so families stealing electricity?”
“No,” Wang Tianxiao shook his head, “On the contrary, none of these families are suspected. The three are suspected.”
Wang Dabao saw the three households that were ticked, and said in surprise: “The three of them don’t have electricity. How do you know it’s the three of them? They don’t even have an electric meter.”
“Look carefully, what is the connection between these three companies and the dozen or so companies you just looked at?”
“Let me take a look… It doesn’t seem to matter. I can’t see it. You should tell me directly. Don’t fool me. I’m not as smart as you.”
“Haha, well then, I’ll tell you.”
Wang Tianxiao saw that Wang Dabao really didn’t understand it. After thinking about it, he felt that this kind of electrical knowledge was indeed a bit too advanced for Wang Dabao, and it couldn’t be figured out with his head.
“This time we are calling, there is a group for every six families, you know this, Brother Dabao?”
“Well, I know this, that is, one switch knife for six families, which is equivalent to electricity coming in all the way. At that time, we were together… Ah, I see. You mean, these three families happen to be in the same room as the dozen or so families in front of them. Group?”
“By the way, isn’t that right? You are right. These three families and those with weaker electricity meters count, and there are exactly eighteen families. The three families also correspond to five of them.”
“Now I understand… But even so, what can be proved? Why do you have to say that it is these three companies? What does it mean that the other 15 electric meters have small values?”
“It’s like this, Brother Dabao, electricity is actually similar to water. Let me give you an example. If the water flowing out of the same channel is used by six of us at the same time, and everyone has opened the same big hole, is the water volume of all the households different?” Roughly the same?”
“That’s for sure. As long as the ground is flat, the water will flow evenly to every house.” When he talked about running water, Wang Dabao understood.
“Well, that’s right, what would happen if one of the six families suddenly turned on the water so that a lot of water flowed into their own home?”
“If this is the case, there should be a lot of water flow in this house. Even if the water outlets of other houses are open, it is impossible for too much water to come in. It must be that the inflow of water in each house is relatively small.”
“Brother Dabao is very right. The water is the same, and so is the electricity. The reason why the other five households have less electricity is because one of them consumes too much electricity, which affects the electricity of other households, so it seems to be much less. If it is a normal situation, the electricity meters of these five companies will not only not be low, but should also be appropriately high…”
“Because there is a family that doesn’t use electricity, is that the reason?” Wang Dabao said with a smile.
“That’s right, that’s the truth.”
Wang Tianxiao also laughed, “Because the total electricity entering each household is fixed, it stands to reason that the more households connected to electricity, the electricity delivered to each household will naturally be affected. Five households must have more voltage than six households. Some. But why are there fewer of the fifteen companies now?”
Wang Tianxiao did not tell Wang Dabao the very complicated circuit knowledge.
These households were originally connected in parallel. It is reasonable to say that the electricity input of each household is actually the same, but in fact, there is a phenomenon of compensation and distribution of voltage. Whoever uses high-power electrical appliances will consume more, while the voltage of other households is the same. Not enough, this is what often happened in rural areas in the past.
Urban power consumption is relatively better because the total voltage is higher and the process transmission route is very short.
In the early years, the electric lights in the countryside were very dim every evening, and it would be fine after nine o’clock in the evening.
will become much brighter.
The reason is that after nine o’clock, many people go to bed, and fewer people use electricity. Naturally, the voltage of the lamp is much higher and brighter.
After Wang Tianxiao narrated with simple examples, Wang Dabao finally understood.
He looked at the names of the three families and began to guess why they used electricity.
First of all, it is Cao Hong’s family.
This family, like the people in Mijia Village, makes a living by making tofu and selling tofu. Normally, they will make tofu at two or three o’clock in the middle of the night, so that they can get freshly cooked tofu to sell at dawn.
Although the tofu is not bad, this family is already a well-known thief.
Because it is close to Wang Tianxiao’s house, I don’t know how many things were stolen from their house in the previous life, and none of the ancestors had clean hands and feet.
Cao Hong’s mother, the old lady, even had her legs broken for stealing, but she still didn’t reduce their desire to steal.
Anyway, people in the village hate them very much, and from time to time someone will come to them and ask for things.
All kinds of swearing continued.
But the family has thick skins, and it seems that they have never cared about these things. Anyway, what others say is whether they should steal or steal.
In this era of tense atmosphere, the folks are not sent to be locked up for decades, and the villagers are easy to talk to, benevolent and kind.
In addition to Cao Hong’s family, the second family name is Xue.
The owner of this family likes playing mahjong very much, so many people from the team and even the village often come to their house to play cards all night without interruption.
They draw a certain table fee.
The reason why their home stole electricity must be because of the all-night mahjong, which used electricity.
But they only have lights in their house, so they didn’t steal much electricity, and it doesn’t hurt too much.
The last family is also surnamed Wang, and Wang Tianxiao is still a great-grandfather, that is to say, the relationship between Wang Dabao and Wang Tianxiao is almost the same.
The relationship with Wang Dabao is closer.
This family stole electricity, Wang Tianxiao didn’t understand at first, but later he seemed to remember that they were making clothes. I don’t know if it has something to do with it.
The woman in that family is a well-known tailor. When people make clothes nearby, they will buy cloth and take it to their home for cutting, and then make decent clothes.
In the early years, there were not unformed clothes, but those clothes were generally very expensive, and many of them had very limited sizes, which didn’t fit well at all.
Instead, they are clothes cut out of cloth. Because they are cut according to the body, they are very close-fitting and are very popular among ordinary people.
If you ask the elders, basically every village has such a tailor.
It doesn’t cost much.
Wang Tianxiao wondered if this tailor had any machines that needed electricity, but since there were electric lights, kerosene lamps would definitely not be used.
should be the object of suspicion.
is one of the suspects.
With three goals in mind, Wang Tianxiao handed over the tailor and the members of the Xue family to Wang Dabao. These two are trivial matters. After a little talk, they should be able to solve the problem and let them return the money they paid in advance to him. , By the way, just pay the electricity bill honestly.
However, the Cao Hong family must think of a way.
That family is notoriously thick-skinned. If you don’t get caught straight, you won’t admit it.
Back then, Wang Tianxiao cut down a tree once, and he took great pains to cut the firewood and pile it outside the gate. It was a neat pile, and he thought it would be enough to burn all winter.
But when I got up the next morning, I found that all the firewood had been stolen, and there was not even one left.
And there was a light snowfall that night.
Wang Tianxiao followed Xiaoxue’s clear footprints to find Cao Hong’s house. They had already burned a lot of firewood, and put the rest on their own firewood pile.
Not to say it belonged to their family, not stolen.
The angry Wang Tianxiao had nothing to do.
He is so thick-skinned, but he refuses to admit it, what can he do, because indeed every family has that kind of apricot tree.
Another time, a chicken from Wang Tianxiao’s family went out, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
I searched and searched around the manor but couldn’t find it. Only then did someone suggest to go to Cao Hong’s house to have a look. It took only half an hour to go to Cao Hong’s house. The chicken had already been killed, and it was already half-cooked in the pot. .
Just such people, what can you do with them.
Especially when meeting such honest people as Wang Tianxiao’s family, they can’t help but be bullied by them.
In this life, Wang Tianxiao has always been looking for an opportunity to clean up this family. Since they came to your door, don’t blame yourself for being rude to them.
After making up his mind, Wang Tianxiao returned home, found Wang Tianxin and Wang Tianyi, and called Wang Tianbao by the way. The four of them waited until midnight and came to Cao Hong’s house in the dark.
Making tofu is usually done in the middle of the night, so Wang Tianxiao and the others also rested slightly in the middle of the night at first, and did not set off until after two o’clock.
Came to the top of the pit yard of Cao Hong’s house, Wang Tianxiao quietly pointed to the bottom.
Sure enough, the light was on.
And the brightness of the tofu room must not be a small light bulb of 25 watts, it should be a big light bulb of 60 watts or 100 watts.
However, Wang Tianxiao felt that even such a large light bulb would not use much electricity, and the huge gap must come from a high-power electrical appliance.
If you guess correctly, it is probably the blower.
In the early years, people in Qingcheng used firewood to burn fire, and the tool for burning fire was bellows.
There is an allegorical saying that the mouse is drilled in the bellows and receives air from both ends, which is what it is talking about.
The bellows must be pulled repeatedly to send air into the pot. The new bellows are fine, but after a long time of use, they will become very heavy, and the hands and arms will hurt.
Later, as life got better and better, especially after electricity entered thousands of households, blowers began to be used.
replaces human labor.
However, it will be a year or two later for blowers to enter common people’s homes on a large scale. After all, the electricity bill is too expensive. Everyone uses 25 watts of lamps, so how can they be willing to use blowers with a power of hundreds or even thousands of watts.
In this day and age, labor is worthless at all.
Those who can use people will definitely not need money.
How difficult it is to make some money.
So, although blowers appeared at this time, they are basically used by street vendors or restaurants.
Cao Hong’s family traveled across states and counties to sell tofu. They must have seen blowers sold. I don’t know where they learned the skill. Not only can they use electricity, but they can also use blowers.
It is really for stealing, and I have maintained a good learning spirit.
“what to do?”
Although Wang Dabao is the captain, the four of them are clearly headed by Wang Tianxiao.
His two younger brothers must listen to him, but now Wang Dabao has long been obedient to Wang Tianxiao, thinking that his cousin is really too powerful now.
The reason why Wang Tianxiao called Wang Tianyi was due to two considerations.
Once he came, he didn’t want to continue the stalemate with Wang Tianyi.
Wang Tianyi is a bit hypocritical, but no matter what the intention of this hypocrisy is, sometimes he is willing to help Wang Tianxiao with some things.
For example, when Wang Peng was admitted to university, Wang Tianyi took the initiative to take 500 yuan and sent it to his family.
Even if he asked for the money back soon, it solved the problem at that time after all.
Wang Tianxiao is such a person, if someone treats him a little better, he will never forget it.
Based on this, he is willing to maintain a relatively stable brotherhood with Wang Tianyi.
It is not considered close, nor is it considered alienated.
In this case, the children of the two families will get along well in the future.
Otherwise, the relationship between the two parents is very rigid, and the cousins are also difficult to get along with.
The children of Wang Tianyi’s family were also ill-fated.
The eldest son, Wang Tian, in his thirties or twenties, was hit and killed by a motorcycle at night, and his wife ran away with others, leaving behind a son who was the same age as Wang Tianxiao’s grandson. Little bastard.
is also really pitiful.
Wang Tianyi’s youngest son, Wang Kong, is even more nothing.
I didn’t learn well at a young age, and I gambled around. When it was serious, I just picked the lock of the house, ran to the house, took out the things inside, sold it clean, and was locked up for more than half a year.
Fortunately, it was not during that critical period, or else he would have been imprisoned for how many years based on his crime of burglary.
poor person must have something mean.
Because Wang Tianyi has some problems himself, there is a problem with the way he raises his children. Two children in succession have been like that. As parents, he and his wife are to blame.
Wang Tianxiao thought about trying to influence Wang Tianyi in this life, to see if he could change a little bit.
At least, don’t be as selfish and hypocritical as you are now.
As a father, if you want to educate your children well, you must first ensure that you are upright and upright.
If you don’t go wrong, the children will naturally see it, so how can you have the confidence to educate the children.
Children grow up watching their parents.
It can only be said that people’s mentality will change.
When Wang Tianxiao was reborn, he was still very angry when he saw Wang Tianyi, thinking that even though he was not as bad as Wang Tianren, he was still quite disgusting.
But as life gradually progressed, he gradually opened up a lot of knots.
Looking at the problem from another angle, I found that apart from Wang Tianren, who is really not a good breed, none of the others can be said to be absolutely good or bad.
Perhaps, people are selfish.
It’s just that Wang Tianxiao is more tolerant than others.
He can’t ask everyone to be like him. In that case, there will be a little bit of moral kidnapping.
As long as he does it well.
Brothers, it is better to break up than tie.
Wang Tianxiao pointed to the opposite side, “Go over there and have a look, if they are making tofu, you should be able to hear the sound of the blower.”
“good.”
Several people touched over quietly and listened carefully on the edge of the cliff.
The night sky was very quiet, and sure enough, the hum of the blower was soon heard.
White hot air keeps coming out of the skylight, which proves that the tofu kiln must be steaming and busy.
“Shall we go down now?” Wang Dabao asked.
“Let’s go, what are you afraid of.” Wang Tianxin is always so brave, he is not afraid of anything, anyway, he likes to rush to the front when something happens.
This personality is a bit impulsive, and many things are often out of control.
But because of strong initiative, it is easier to get opportunities.
Wang Tianxiao reformed Wang Tianxin for a few months, which was considered to contain his temper.
At least not like before, there is no sense of right and wrong.
“Wait a little longer,” Wang Tianyi dissuaded from the side, “It’s just after two o’clock, and they haven’t progressed to the critical moment. A pot of tofu usually takes one and a half hours, and when it’s around three o’clock, the tofu is just half done.” , When we went in, they couldn’t hide it even if they wanted to.”
Wang Tianxiao looked at Wang Tianyi in the dark and secretly sighed.
Wang Tianyi is really good at thinking things through.
In fact, Wang Tianxiao also thought so.
I don’t think it’s appropriate to go in now. Before the critical moment, if someone just lit a fire and is still boiling water, you will definitely find nothing when you go in.
It’s like catching a thief and catching the dirty, and catching the **** and catching the double.
Since we want to find evidence of his stealing electricity on the spot, we have to attack him suddenly without any precautions.
