Chapter 1636 It's Best You Never Help Me
Decades later, many sociologists have studied why parents and children can't always "talk properly." The research has come down to just a few aspects: parents' stubbornness about ingrained thinking and children's impatience with outdated ideas.
Despite the criticism and gossip, Han Dawang raised his daughter to become an enviable college student, and later became a car owner envied by the whole village. With such a successful experience, he must have his own pride and stubbornness.
How could a back that hadn't bent over in decades be bent by a few scoldings from Han Xia?
As a college student in the 1980s, Han Xia would definitely scoff at some of her father's life experiences, which would lead to misunderstandings between the father and daughter.
However, Han Dawang really loved his daughter, so he quickly explained to Li Ye, "Actually, this is really my fault. I was on a long-distance trip to the south during the few days I was delayed, and I encountered a Mitsubishi truck with a Guangdong license plate on the way."
That Mitsubishi was carrying heavy cargo, while my 141 was carrying light cargo. As a result, I was constantly rushing to keep up with them, getting covered in dust, and to make matters worse, their truck was more fuel-efficient than mine when we were refueling.
Then, after I got back, I happened to see an advertisement for Southwest Heavy Truck. They used advanced technology from Japan and West Germany, making it powerful and fuel-efficient. With Mitsubishi as an example, how could I not believe them?
"Hey, Lao Han just got lucky. A lot of people who get scammed do it by sheer luck; no matter what's wrong, they manage to evade the conman."
"That's right! A few years ago, I encountered one of those people selling red and blue pencils on a bus. I was just about to try my luck when a passenger in uniform got on the bus, and the scammers immediately got off. Otherwise, I would have lost a little money."
"Wow, even red and blue pencils can fool you?"
"Can you blame me? Back then, none of us had ever heard of it. When you saw others making tens of dollars in just a few minutes, how could you not be tempted?"
“.”
Li Dayong's father and Fu Yingjie's father were chattering away about their near-being scammed, which made Han Dawang lower his head even further.
Nine out of ten people who are scammed do so because of greed, and nine out of ten of them are unwilling to admit their greed after being scammed.
"Cough cough~"
Grandpa coughed twice, then smoothed things over, saying, "This isn't Han Dawang's fault; it's the people at the city transportation company who are dishonest. I'll ask someone to talk to their manager and get the money back for Dawang."
Han Dawang was even more embarrassed: "Uncle, it's actually not much money."
Even a small amount of money is still money.
Li Zhongfa said forcefully, "It's only because I'm no longer employed here that I'm doing this. Otherwise, I would not only get my money back, but I would also file a complaint against them in the city. How did a perfectly good company turn into a black market?"
Li Kaijian quickly said, "Dad, I can actually handle the deposit. The transportation company also has a transportation contract with our factory, so the money issue is easy to resolve. I just want to ask Li Ye, with Southwest Heavy Truck doing things this way, is there no one who can stop them?"
Li Ye finally understood why Li Kaijian had called him over.
This veteran, after seeing people like Han Dawang being deceived, wanted Li Ye to "teach Southwest Heavy Truck a lesson" for its false advertising.
After pondering for a few seconds, Li Ye said, "There is definitely someone who can deal with them. After all, the country has a special department to deal with this kind of situation. However, the process is somewhat troublesome. At least, it will only attract attention after obvious consequences occur."
Southwest Heavy Truck's false advertising was "obviously fake" in the eyes of Li Ye and others, but in the eyes of Han Dawang and others, it was far from the time when the "truth would be revealed".
If users don't realize they've been deceived, haven't suffered any losses, and haven't caused widespread protests, how can they expect strict enforcement?
If nothing has been established, why would people bother to create trouble for themselves?
Sigh~
Li Kaijian waved his hand impatiently and said, "Then you should get a few Beijing-brand heavy trucks for your Uncle Han. They're your own products, so you can trust them."
Li Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it later. Uncle Han, why don't you buy a few more? Anyway, the bank is one of our own, so the loan will be easy to arrange."
"Okay, then I'll buy a few more."
Han Dawang agreed. Now, all the big companies in Qingshui County belong to either Lao Li's family, Hao Jian's family, or Jin Peng's family. His daughter can talk to them all. Anyway, there are plenty of sources of goods. So why not buy a few more trucks?
"Li Ye, let me toast you."
"Uncle Han, it is I who should be showing you respect."
"No, no, I have to respect you. We're both honest people, and honest people speak the truth. Without you, Li Ye, my daughter and I wouldn't be where we are today."
“.”
Han Dawang's toast seemed to open a floodgate, and the parents of the other students came over one by one to offer their toasts. Even Jiang Xiaoyan's mother, Chen Jinhua, insisted on having a drink with Li Ye.
"Over the years, it's all been you, Li Ye, who has helped us the most. We haven't been able to help in any way. Think about the kind of life we lived before, and look at the immense kindness you've shown us now."
"Hey, hey, Auntie, if you put it that way, I can't drink this glass of wine!"
Seeing that Chen Jinhua was about to cry again, Li Ye quickly interrupted her.
Then Li Ye said with a smile, "It's a good thing you can't help me. Doesn't that mean my life is going smoothly and I'm happy? So, it's best if you never have to help me in your life."
"Hahaha, Li Ye really knows how to talk."
"Li Ye is not only eloquent, but also loyal and righteous."
Alcohol is an effective tool for fostering relationships. A group of elders drank with Li Ye and felt that this visit to Old Li's house today was much better than in previous years.
How could it not be good? My children are all successful in their careers and have settled down in their marriages. Happiness and bliss are right before my eyes!
But after they left, Li Ye fell into deep thought.
Southwest Heavy Truck's reach has extended thousands of miles to Dongshan Province, demonstrating the extent of their aggressive marketing tactics. Who knows how many more victims like Han Dawang will emerge in the future?
Moreover, through the comparative test in Chuncheng, Li Ye learned that Southwest Heavy Truck's vehicles had defects and were truly a rip-off!
Wen Leyu noticed Li Ye's worry and said directly, "Just do what you want to do. If you need help, I can help you too."
Li Ye was greatly pleased and nodded, saying, "Okay, let me think about how to warn them."
Southwest Heavy Truck is currently enjoying a seemingly prosperous period, and while their products are overpriced and have some quality defects, they are not completely unusable.
Therefore, even if Li Ye wanted to get involved in this matter, he couldn't make a move right away.
Just when Li Ye didn't know how to warn Dong Shan, Dong Shan came to his door.
