Chapter 210 How can the enthusiasm of the masses be extinguished?
Wang Deming looked at the small stack of gold rubles in the drawer of his mahjong table and felt so happy. The ancients said: If you have a skill, you will never starve to death no matter where you go. It is really true.

"Spend it as you please!"

Then he generously threw two stacks of 500-dollar bills to Alexei's two followers.

"We are so united and friendly, we can't let you go hungry."

The two took the money with tears of gratitude and immediately put it in their pockets, "Thank you, thank you!"

As soon as they left, Alexei and Wang Deming, one on the left and one on the right, took out the gold rubles from the drawer at the same time, spat on three fingers of their right hand, and began to count the money with smiles on their faces.

While counting the money, Alexey glanced at Wang Deming with disdain and said, "I find that you are becoming more and more like a big capitalist!"

"You take all the money from people, and even if you give them a little, they still have to thank you!"

"Big brother, let alone second brother, you are the same, we did this together!" Wang Deming replied slowly: "If it weren't for your strong power, they wouldn't come to the table."

"How can you give us the money that belongs to you if you don't go to the poker table?"

"Haha, that seems to be the case, but you seem to have won more than me. I only won more than 2000 rubles, and you won about 8000, right?"

"I provided the venue, I organized the card game, and I paid for the food and drinks. You are just a person. You should learn to be self-sufficient."

Alexey scratched his head, "It seems so."

After a while, he realized, "No, you didn't build the house, and you didn't cook the food. I can still find someone to play the card game in another place."

"You just discovered this? Why don't you try it?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's just labor pains. As long as you can bear it, you won't be able to make money this comfortably for a long time."

"Forget it then."

Wang Deming patted his pockets filled with gold rubles with satisfaction and said, "I'm back. If you have time, go to the construction site outside Chaoyangmen and have a look. Trial production will only start at the end of the year in your Soviet Union."

"You have to get used to speed here."

Alexei was interrupted by Wang Deming and miscounted the rubles in his hand. He had to start all over again. He looked at him in surprise and asked, "What speed?"

Wang Deming held up three fingers and said, "We can complete a year's work in three months. If you don't believe me, go to the new factory outside Chaoyangmen and take a look. The factory buildings have all been built. As long as the equipment is debugged, we can start trial production at any time."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Facts speak louder than words. You can go and see. We will probably start trial production next month. The difficulty now is that we need to train the recruited workers. However, we have applied to the government to open technical schools and night schools to carry out literacy and technical training at the same time."

Wang Deming shrugged. "Comrade, you know nothing about the Chinese people's creativity and their fighting spirit for a better life!"

"There is no technical content in the production of this kind of beverage. The key lies in the production line."

Then he said something that Alexei couldn't understand, "We don't produce water, we are just nature's transporters."

The early summer night in June in Beijing is very beautiful. In this time when there is no large-scale pollution, there is no need to look at the street lights. The full moon casts a silver shadow on the street, and the stars in the sky seem like a real Milky Way, hanging across the unchanging night sky.

The starlight did not disappoint the travelers, and a slight cool breeze blew, dissipating the summer heat and bringing with it the faint scent of the newly planted willow trees on the roadside.

Everything is so beautiful, but of course if you have no money in your pocket, you won’t be able to feel it, and you will have to worry about three meals a day and rent.

Wang Deming opened his arms and enjoyed himself to the fullest.

"Comrade!"

Wang Deming first turned his head to look at the soldier next to him, then looked back at the street, pointed at his nose, and asked, "Comrade, you called me?"

"Yes!"

The soldier trotted over and stood in front of Wang Deming, looking a little confused. After a while, he said embarrassedly, "Comrade, can you tell the Soviet comrades to ask them to move the restaurant here?" "Oh?" Wang Deming pretended to be surprised and said, "Can I ask what the reason is?"

"There are so many people coming and going in the hotel every day, which makes it difficult for the leaders to get a good rest." The soldier held it in for a long time and gave this reason.

Wang Deming suppressed his inner laughter and asked in surprise: "Is the boss going to bed so early? This place is closed after 9pm!"

"This" soldier stared at his toes, helpless and speechless for a long time. Could he directly say that the leader couldn't eat every day because of the fragrance coming from this side?

Wang Deming looked at the soldier's dilemma and gave a thoughtful suggestion: "Comrade, do you think this is okay? I will discuss with the Soviet comrades and stop business at 8 o'clock in the evening. Do you think this is okay?"

"OK then."

"Goodbye, comrade!"

Wang Deming walked all the way from Andingmennei Street to Fentingsi Hutong and then to Xiaojingchang Hutong before he burst into laughter, "Haha."

It's really unbelievable that such a high-ranking leader had to endure the aroma of high-end cuisine such as Tan's cuisine for such a long time, but in the end it was just a small soldier who couldn't stand it anymore and came over to remind him, instead of just shutting it down with an order.

"What the hell are you yelling about? Can't you let me sleep?"

"Uh"

Suddenly, a sharp curse from an old lady came from the courtyard next door. Wang Deming quickly shut up and trotted home with his tail between his legs.

Everyone in Xiaojingchang's house had fallen asleep. Old Zhao yawned and opened the door for Wang Deming, "Son-in-law, you're back."

"Old Zhao, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep."

"Hey, why are you being so polite? This is what I should do. But you have to sleep in the west room tonight. Renchun and Yichun are pestering the young lady today and insist on sleeping with them."

"to make."

After wiping his face and feet in the yard, Wang Deming quietly entered the west room, took off his clothes in the dark, and got on the kang. He touched someone next to him. He looked carefully in the moonlight and saw Qin Huairu looking at him with her big peach blossom eyes.

"Deming, my sister's third child is almost one year old and can be sold. Should we hurry up? My mother urged me to do it again when I went home last time!"

"Wait a minute, there's something I'm not sure about right now." Wang Deming changed his body shape from lying flat to doing push-ups, which made Qin Huairu groan, "Hmm"

"Keep your voice down, the child is next door."

"Do I need you to tell me that?" Qin Huairu pinched Wang Deming's tender waist fiercely, "Be gentle!"

The leader looked at the chief and others, slurping a bowl of noodles, and curled his lips, "Can you pay attention to your eating manners? It seems like you haven't had enough food!"

"Are you going to be dismissed with just a bowl of noodles with gravy? I think you are too out of touch with the people!"

"Oh, what do you mean?" The leader wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said in surprise: "Since the comprehensive mutual aid and cooperation promotion began in the countryside last year, I have visited the wheat fields several times this year. The farmers are very motivated. They help each other when they are busy and build water conservancy projects when they are free. They have developed the mutual aid society model we summarized in Yan'an very well."

"This year's grain harvest will definitely be good! Especially in the suburbs near Changping, people are now learning to raise earthworms, using earthworms to raise chickens and ducks, and then making compost. The farmers are all doing well! When the wheat harvest comes in July, every household will be able to eat a bowl of noodles with gravy!"

"Yes." The leader said quietly, "It's a pity that we still can't eat bear paws, fish lips, shark fins, bird's nests, and other delicacies from land and sea."

"Sizzle," the chief struck a match and lit a cigarette. He frowned and took a deep breath, the smoke drifting slowly out of his nostrils. "What you saw was just an isolated phenomenon. Comrade Li inspected industry and commerce across the country after the Spring Festival this year. Did you read the report he made in May?"

“Therefore, this month we put forward the goal of the general line for the socialist transition period, and plan to use 10 years to carry out socialist transformation of existing industry and commerce.”

The chief paused, "Some people came to me before and hoped to donate their factory shares to the government. They are very active in the transformation of the factory and took the lead in implementing collective ownership in the factory. This is a very beneficial attempt with very good results, which has stimulated the work enthusiasm of the majority of employees."

"The masses are so positive and have such complete trust and recognition in us, we can't fall behind."
