Domestic, Longcheng, Beicheng County in the northern suburbs.

In the 1990s, before it was officially included in Dragon City, Beicheng District was still called Beicheng County.

It is a county-level administrative region under the jurisdiction of Longcheng.

On a cold morning, the bustling morning market in the county town:

"Soy milk, fried dough sticks, and tofu curd!"

"I'm selling vegetables! I'm selling vegetables~"

"Freshly picked green and red peppers, red and white radish and big pumpkin!"

"Cake, pot helmet, and marijuana flowers!"

A middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, a gray-white soft military cap, and gray-white work clothes was also standing among the vendors in the morning market.

He was dressed like an arsenal technician and looked out of place compared to the vendors opposite.

Seeing others yelling skillfully and seeing an endless stream of customers, he seemed very embarrassed.

In front of him was a meat stall.

After being laid off from Factory 4598, he had nowhere to go.

For engineers like him who specialize in communication equipment, the employment opportunities are actually very narrow. www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

Let's put it this way, in the entire Longcheng and even the entire Zhongzhou Province, except for Factory 4598, there are no private enterprises in this field.

In addition, since he is approaching retirement age, the corresponding arsenals do not want to accept him.

Many arsenals are unable to make ends meet and are overloaded with personnel.

If it weren't for the lack of policies from above, they would have wished they could lay off employees and go into battle lightly.

How is it possible to accept old comrades who are approaching retirement? If they accept them, will their pension benefits be free?

In desperation, he could only buy goods from the meat factory and set up a stall in the vegetable market to sell meat with the old comrades who were also laid off every day.

They had just arrived and didn't know much about it. In order to survive, they actually agreed with each other:

You sell beef, I sell pork, he sells mutton, he sells fish, he sells chicken, duck and eggs.

There is also a gentleman's agreement between them, not to exceed the rules in operating each other's meat business; not to cut prices randomly, disrupt market order, etc.

However, his natural shyness and the reserve of an intellectual made him blush and he could not even open his mouth to shout.

The situation of several other old comrades is not much better.

There is a long row of meat stalls for veteran cadres, doing mute business without opening their mouths.

That scene was both funny and sad.

This situation has been going on for a month.

There is no way, some people are born with this kind of personality.

This is probably what modern people call "social phobia", a person with social phobia.

Song Tianfu watched in the corner for a long time, then stepped forward and asked with a smile:

"Boss, how do you sell your pork?"

The man subconsciously pushed up his black-rimmed glasses, his eyes drifted unconsciously, and he said nervously:

"Two, two yuan and eight pounds."

Song Tianfu deliberately lowered the price: "Do you want to sell it for two and a half yuan?"

"No! It's definitely not possible at this price!" The other party became even more nervous and rubbed his clothes unconsciously with both hands.

Song Tianfu suggested again: "Well, let's do it, two dollars and six, I'll add a little more, and I'll give you a ticket early in the morning."

"No! You can't counteroffer!"

The man seemed to be trying his best to explain to Song Tianfu, or he seemed to be talking to himself to relieve his tension:

"I worked hard to get this from the meat factory, so the price cannot be lowered!"

"We used a cart to pull it here before dawn, and we walked a total of 10 miles!"

"These are costs, you can't bargain, don't bargain."

"Our small business has been discussed in advance and we cannot lower prices to disrupt the market order."

As he talked, the man became even more nervous. In the cold morning, he gradually started to sweat.

While talking, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his sweat gracefully.

Those selling vegetables and breakfast opposite looked at him with strange eyes and started talking about him:

"Look, he looks like he came out of a mental hospital."

"Alas! What a pity that a good intellectual is forced to sell pork."

"That row over there is the same situation."

"One or two of them don't have any skills, so they can only sell meat."

"His personality is stubborn and has difficulty dealing with people. How can he be suitable for doing business?"

Of course Song Tianfu knew it in his heart.

Ever since, he tried to communicate again:

"Uncle, how about this? Let's each make a concession, two dollars and seven."

"Look, you haven't even opened this place yet!"

"Just think of this order as a way to get a good start, okay?"

Under normal thinking, if it has reached this point, then the deal is definitely going to be completed.

but!

This old cadre-like uncle, he doesn’t!

Next, he caught Song Tianfu and taught him a lesson, telling him not to disrupt the market order.

What is even more unbelievable is that several other uncles nearby also joined the team to educate Song Tianfu.

In the end, it was no longer a question of whether to buy pork or not.

But if Song Tianfu affects the normal market order, what serious consequences will it bring?

A group of people express their opinions and give various variable consequences.

Not only this market, but the entire Longcheng and even the entire Zhongzhou vegetable market will undergo qualitative changes due to quantitative changes.

That guy is a lot of siege and guesswork.

The key is that they all gave level-by-level speculative data!

Song Tianfu was smiling from beginning to end:

It’s done! These are the people we’re looking for!

If a person who has been engaged in scientific research for most of his life is not rigid, rigorous, critical, and extremely serious, how can he still be called a scientific researcher?

In scientific research projects, a slight mistake can make a huge difference.

This is the professional commonality of this group of people, and it will affect their personality and way of doing things, which is normal.

…

after an hour.

The crowd finally calmed down, and Song Tianfu said:

"Seniors, I want all the meat at your meat stall!"

The crowd was quiet for three seconds.

then!

Extremely noisy condemnation broke out again!

The theme is extremely consistent, condemning Song Tianfu for being too wasteful!

You see, this is this group of people.

A person who has worked rigorously and conscientiously in Factory 4598 all his life, and has been assigned all aspects of his life, from life to work.

If you really put them into the flexible and free environment of the market economy, it will actually be difficult for them to adapt.

Their thinking and behavior style have been solidified.

To put it bluntly, it is actually out of touch.

Song Tianfu quickly climbed onto a stool nearby and said loudly:

"Everyone! Please be patient! Listen to me! Listen to me first!"

The crowd calmed down and looked up at him.
