In fact, Ning Weimin's trick of persuading the director of the Temple of Heaven to distribute grapes to the employees, and then taking these items to the altar palace and converting them into cash was not his own unique creation.
Instead, it draws on the "three-store method" of the Japanese gambling industry.
Thirty years later in the Internet age, anyone who knows a little bit about the Japanese island country must know about the Japanese "pachinko shop".
On the surface, this kind of shop can only exchange gifts, but does not exchange cash for customers, and its main business is small steel ball gaming machines. In our country, it is also called a "gold bank pinball room".
The reason why many Japanese people are addicted to it is that it often empties their pockets.
It is because it adopts a very special business model to operate, which effectively circumvents Japan's legal regulations that strictly prohibit gambling.
First of all, the small steel balls that guests win through games can be exchanged at the counter for "special attractions" of equal value.
Customers then take these "special sight items" outside the store and exchange them for cash of equivalent value from the "Scenery Item Exchange" next door.
Later, the "special scenery items" received from the guests by the "Scenery Item Exchange" will be sold to the nearby "Scenery Items Wenwu".
Finally, the "Scenery Wenwu" will come forward to sell these "special scenery items" back to the "Pachinko Shop".
In this way, a perfect closed loop of gambling benefit chain is formed.
The most important point is that the "Pachinko Shop", "Scenery Exchange House" and "Scenery House" are all independently operated by different companies and are three unrelated parties.
Of course, although on the surface, this kind of activity is just taking off your pants and farting, it seems quite clumsy.
It seems quite stupid that the Japanese government can't see through this apparent "legality".
But this is not the case.
Because it is a classic example of making money silently, and it reaches a very subtle balance between emotion, reason and profit.
Let everyone be willing to turn a blind eye and see through without saying anything.
From the perspective of the Japanese government, this nominally legal business is, of course, just a piece of crotch cloth that falls off as soon as it is ripped off.
But the question is is it worth it?
Going to a pachinko parlor means you won't win or lose much, and the social harm is relatively limited.
However, this industry can gather momentum, create huge GDP, and provide many employment opportunities to the society.
He even provided considerable political donations to many politicians.
In this way, it will not be difficult for the Japanese government, which even tolerates "Yakuza", to accept the existence of this gray industry.
What's more, most of the people engaged in this industry in Japan are Koreans and Koreans in Japan.
For a long period of time after the war, this specific group of people lived as war victims, holding on to the thick legs of Americans.
They enjoy quite a lot of privileges, and the militia they formed is also quite strong. They are definitely a hard rock that cannot be easily provoked.
If we have to care about it, it will be equivalent to destroying these people's financial paths.
Just think about it and you will know what kind of resistance and even revenge you will encounter.
And having said that, the Japanese only advocate not causing trouble to others.
Their moral sense is far from being selfless and sacrificing themselves for others.
Even if pachinko is banned, what will the people who did it get from it?
Not only is there no benefit, but it will most likely be hated by many people, and may result in the loss of one's political future.
Wouldn’t he become a fool who harms others but does not benefit himself?
Which person in politics would be willing to cause such trouble for himself?
Therefore, "Pachinko", which is strictly prohibited in most countries, has become a strange thing.
It took root in post-war Japan and blossomed brightly.
As for Ning Weimin's application of this method of turning his left and right hands to each other on the employees of the Temple of Heaven Park, it was for the same reason.
He was basically convinced that leaders at all levels of the Temple of Heaven Garden were unwilling to meddle in such nosy matters and would turn a blind eye and listen but not hear.
Not to mention that his purpose and final result are different from running Pachinko.
There is no social harm at all, it can only benefit the people, so of course I feel at ease.
And I have to say, the effect is also obvious.
Because since that day, the attitude of the employees of the Temple of Heaven Park towards the director has changed to become more respectful.
"Good morning, Director, you're here so early? It's too hard for you."
"Hello, principal, have you had breakfast? I'll get you one from the canteen?"
"Director, what are you talking about? Aren't you trying to kill me? If you don't dare to take it seriously, you must come first..."
"Director, do you have any other instructions? If this matter is not handled well, then I will simply hit you to death. Don't worry, go home in peace and rest early."
"Director, I really have to thank you on behalf of our whole family. Now I can feed our family of three by myself, and my mother finally doesn't need paper boxes..."
In short, the entire Temple of Heaven was moved from the bottom of my heart.
There is no one at the grassroots level who does not miss the director.
Because the director is so considerate of everyone!
Even if you take risks, you still have to give everyone bonuses!
"Hey, I came to the Temple of Heaven at the right time!"
When a worker from the greening team was eating in the cafeteria, he once stared blankly at the back of the principal and muttered in public.
"I think back when I was assigned here, I thought this job was not good. I didn't realize it... Sigh! Don't say anything else. I am so lucky to have such a leader. The smoke is rising from my ancestral graves.
"
"Yes! Our principal is a human being and didn't say that!"
Unexpectedly, there were people beside him who echoed his words. He was not alone.
"I also tell you that last week I sent the report and statistics for the previous month to our principal. When the principal called, he was furious into the phone. He even shouted 'X your mother'! As a result, you
Guess what’s going on?”
"What?" everyone asked in unison.
The talker, as if he was getting to the point of the storyteller, used the spoon in his hand as a warning and knocked on the table.
"I'm sorry that the call came from the Garden Bureau. It seems that other parks are jealous of our book market and have complained to the Bureau that the Temple of Heaven is full of ancient trees and is not suitable for events with too many people."
"So the bureau used this incident as an excuse, saying that we only care about ourselves, which made the bureau very embarrassed. So they proposed that we from Tiantan should donate some money to the bureau to help other parks replace benches, trash cans, etc.
"
"The director readily agreed and said that he could provide 30,000 yuan to help the bureau solve some funding difficulties and help brother units. Unexpectedly, the garden bureau went one step further and suggested that the task of treasury bills for this quarter had not been completed. They
Considering that our book market was a success and our employees received a lot of bonuses, I want our employees to buy another 10,000 yuan."
"As a result, the director of the park got angry over the 10,000 yuan. He banged the table on the spot and yelled, 'Our employees work so hard, how easy is it to get some bonuses? The bureau is short of money, I understand. You can do apportionment if you want, but
It can only be done business-to-business, never on our employees!'"
"You say, is our garden director a good leader? Is that right? Where can you find such a good leader? Look around all the state-owned enterprises and see if you can find a second one?"
Just these words, almost everyone who heard it was so excited that they wanted to sell their lives to the director.
Yes! Their principal is definitely not like some cadres who regard flattering superiors and arrogant subordinates as the secret to promotion.
We will obey the orders given by our superiors without compromise, regardless of whether they are reasonable or unreasonable.
On the other hand, when dealing with subordinates, they only know how to lecture others and treat them harshly.
Their principal is a conscientious and practical person who really takes the employees' food, drink and toilet at heart, and is not afraid of offending his superiors at all!
As a result, the labor enthusiasm of Tiantan employees has increased unprecedentedly, and everyone is more energetic when working.
After this welfare distribution, the director of the Temple of Heaven has completely controlled the hearts of the people and increased his personal prestige.
From then on, more than a hundred people in the whole garden were firmly in his hands, commanding them like an arm, and they became an iron-clad camp.
