Chapter 673 16.05 (Part 2) Ghost Luck, Ghost Wealth
Fire Emblem Year 3223, June 28th.
After seven or eight days of nausea and odor on the train, Enma finally arrived in this big city with a large number of bad boys. The boys who had been in the countryside since birth, after coming to this big city with colorful flags flying, were like children in the late 20th century who went to an Internet cafe for the first time.
The colors seen in the countryside in the past ten years are not as many as today. The girls with fair skin and beautiful clothes in the photos at the door of the store are even more incomparable to the country girls.
One by one, they got off the train with a yearning for a better future, not knowing the height of the world, and determined to make a difference in this world. Wei Keng was the last one. He picked his nose calmly and smeared his nose on the wall of the station. It was considered that he left the first "heavy ink and color" mark here.
The system prompts: Picking your nose is not good.
Wei Keng, who was of very low quality, argued: "Huh? The paper is used up."
The workshop life in the city soon began. After arriving in the city, Wei Keng also needed to find a job in the city during school breaks. As a person from the countryside, he had to abide by various constraints in the city.
There is a daily theorem in industrial society that the poor have to accept more rules under seemingly equal circumstances.
Because, the rules formulated "for the common good of all" are finally implemented by "letting the weak comply first" to save implementation costs.
…The factory machinery crushed the newly incoming raw materials, and on the high-rise building of the factory, the capitalists behind the railings were also watching the new "material consumption". …
In the steam-roaring factory, the hammer powered by the pressure of the central steam engine kept hitting and making noise.
The innocence and childlikeness brought by this group of children who came to the city to work from the countryside were soon crushed. The old workers shouted loudly and began to oppress the newcomers. The capitalists squeezed the surplus value, and the people who were squeezed for several years could not resist the upper class, so they continued to strictly discipline the weaker clusters than themselves.
Recently, in the factory where Wei Keng works, those who had worked in the city a few years ago have been talking about how they are the "light of righteousness" to discipline the parents of the young people from the countryside.
As the number of empty bottles on the table increases, they are boasting loudly about how to make the newcomers work safely and take over more overtime.
They arrogantly say that they should be polite to the guard dogs in the factory and be kind to animals like a city dweller.
They arrogantly declare that they should humbly ask for advice from themselves, otherwise if something goes wrong, it will be the newcomers' full responsibility.
Of course, they are even more "enthusiastic" to remind the newcomers: be a little discerning and don't bother them when they are unhappy.
A few months later, the windowsills of the dormitory windows that everyone had cleaned were once again covered with dust.
The teenagers from the countryside changed quickly. From the agreed friendship and mutual assistance, they also became scheming. They started to think about getting an extra pickle at mealtime, started to tell tales for a better room, and started to trip each other up for the quarterly small reward that only a few dozen people get.
When the oppressed who lack compulsory education are unable to resist the top structure that controls rewards and punishments.
The weak can only roll inwards at the bottom, but for a certain hero, the world will pay back for the growth of their hostility.
The factory where Enma works is making plastics.
When gases such as ethylene are generated, they are quickly processed on the production line and turned into various civilian products. Of course, the stench in the factory will make even the strongest people have lung pain after seven or eight years. Of course, at that time, the workers in the factory will not be in the factory for various reasons such as "laziness"
Three kilometers away from the factory, on the upwind hillside, is a luxurious mountain manor.
Ma Jack often turns on the crystal monitoring projection in the office building on the central platform of the manor to review his factory.
Whenever he sees the assembly line factory continuously producing his products, he has a sense of satisfaction that his life value has been realized.
This Ma Jack often boasts at high-class wine parties: "I feed tens of thousands of people by myself, and I do great charity."
However, no one knows the little secret of his success.
In the rich mansion, there is a room that no one can enter, and Ma Jack often runs here alone.
…These days, there are some secrets behind the rising businessmen...
Now after work in the morning, Ma Jack passed by the corridor where various noble collections were placed, and opened a hidden small door. Behind the door was a dark room full of smoky smell.
He carefully took out the wild mountain redwood box, which was engraved with various strange patterns. He opened the lid of the box, and inside was a ceramic figurine with various witchcraft patterns engraved on the figurine. And in the palm of this figurine, there was a withered fruit.
Ma Jieke carefully placed the ceramic figurine on the altar, knelt down and worshiped again and again. Then he picked up another bright fruit, pierced his finger with a silver stick, dripped blood on the fruit, and then replaced the withered fruit.
When the bright fruit was placed on the ceramic figurine's hand, blood penetrated under the fruit skin, and veins emerged like muscles. It wriggled and connected with the ceramic figurine's palm. At this time, the ceramic figurine's originally expressionless face showed a strange smile. After seeing this smile, Ma Jieke felt relieved and began to close his eyes and make a wish.
What is this ritual? It is to raise a ghost. Twenty years ago, Ma Jieke was still a skinny guy, and his biggest wish was to save money to buy a bicycle of his own. But everything changed after he got a book of geomancy.
Twenty years ago, when he was volunteering in the hospital, he got an abandoned dead baby that was said to be the result of internal strife in the imperial court. Then, in a state of being obsessed with ghosts, he began to raise ghosts for the first time. It was a prosperous ghost.
Twenty years ago, the prosperous ghost gave him the first hint by pushing the compass.
The ghost wrote a hint on a piece of paper with his tongue, saying that he wanted to buy fuel property, so he began to stock up on fuel in advance. A week later, due to a problem with the transportation line of the Republic of Sky, the fuel he bought rose sharply.
This made him, who originally just wanted to try, start to get out of control.
There was a first time, and there was a second time. After raising a prosperous ghost, he had to raise another ghost to bring good luck.
… Any mystery cannot withstand overdraft…
The more ghosts you raise, the longer the time, and when you are negligent, the greater the backlash.
For example, five years ago, he accidentally violated a taboo and failed to offer the freshest dew in the morning. He had bad luck for several months. His grandson was kidnapped, and the ransom was paid, but he was still killed.
Since then, he has been very careful. He personally arranged the Feng Shui pattern of the house. If the servants changed it without authorization, they would be beaten up at the least, and kicked out directly at the worst.
Today, after receiving the offerings, the two little ghosts laughed and played on the table that looked like a grave, and then gave him a new suggestion, which was "lower the factory price and improve the quality at the same time." Ma Jieke's eyes lit up, because at this time, if he "showed his sincerity", he would just meet a noble person!
…Compared to the dusty industrial city, the advertising cloth hung on the airship in the sky has always been very beautiful, fluttering in the wind...
In the city, he has always wanted more supply shares. But he has been waiting for an opportunity. If it is really a big shot who comes to test the plastic supply chain on a whim, his goods are good quality and cheap. Then he can seize the opportunity (given above).
He decided to do this job well, and at all costs.
Ma Jieke thought to himself: Well, let's delay the payment of the workers' money.
Yes, - if we don't pay them, it will definitely cause resentment among the workers, so we first announce layoffs to make the workers panic, and then after the panic, we announce that there will be no layoffs, taking the opportunity to lower wages.
As a successful person, he is very skilled in this set of successful psychology.
