意外监听到大陆黑社会内部的对话

改委: 油价都调了?石油: 调完了,大哥.改委: 有什么反映?石油: 意见很大,骂娘的挺多,比国外贵太多了….改委: 不是让你们找枪手造舆论吗?石油: 找了,强调成本构成不同没有可比性,中国特色什么的,不过越描越黑,现在他们有点顶不住了,不敢说话了.改委: 能不能说点新鲜的?我听了都烦. 以后不要找什么草包专家,更不要找”五毛”骂街.咱不差钱, 还是让那几个刀枪不入的上吧.石油: 可他们名声太差了吧….连”自行车比汽车污染更严重”这类话也说得出口….改委: 靠,他都不怕,你担心什么?石油: 是,大哥.我觉得根本就多余解释, 就涨了, 你能怎么着吧,还能造反不成?!改委: 头脑简单!不讲政治! 跟你们说了多少次了?对了, 销售稳定吗?石油: 大哥,销售这几天一直在下滑…..改委(暴怒): 怎么会这样?!都是精算过的,汽车保有量低时低油价,打开口子让这帮孙子使劲买,三年功夫该买的都买了,一家两三辆都有了,套牢以后咱就一路涨上去.这么大市场销售怎么会下滑?石油: 内外差价太大了,外面的油品好,价格也比我们低2块多.最近成品油走私很火,以前贩毒倒腾军火的也改行做成品油了….改委: 妈的,敢挡咱们的财路?把他们都给我做了!石油: 大哥,要是几个小瘪三也就好办了,现在部队用军舰在走,我们有什么办法?改委: 靠,部队我也管不了,我找老大说去….底下兄弟们怎么样?石油: 兄弟们日子过得很滋润,不过情绪不太稳定..改委: 为什么?!石油: 兄弟们都觉得探油炼油太辛苦了,也没必要,买船运油就行了……改委: 嘘—,小声,别让FBI听到,他们也涨价就麻烦了…..这事低调操作就行了,闷声发大财.石油: 除了走私,还有一个原因,就是好多小白领觉得油太贵,开始”戒驾”了…改委: 找几个抢手,多推推节油概念,多推推日本车….不信他们真能戒.石油: 这帮孙子也不是真想戒,主要是吃不住劲了.房价学费那么高……改委: 别说了,TMD,这帮孙子是逼我下重手啊….石油: 大哥, 你的意思是?改委: 这帮孙子够狠,先是把烟戒了让我损失一笔,现在又要”戒驾”?!看来,得把十年后的手段提前用上了,咱们看谁更狠?下月我找人听证一下水价….草,让他们戒!!!
