"Old Xu, it's so rare to come here so early!"

"Humph, I'll have to eat you for free early. To tell you the truth, I've been keeping my belly since this morning!"

"You, you..."

"Hey, isn't this Lao Zhang? Your family is in the back mountain, so I didn't expect it to be so early?"

"I went out before dawn, why can't I!" Although the temperature became extremely low that day, and there was a cold wind like a knife everywhere in the sky, but there were several wholesale departments in front of the Wan Yuan Hotel.

The bosses all smiled happily.

This day is a good day for them, just like the old farmers who have worked hard for a year finally reaped the harvest.

But the difference is that they are much better than the old farmers.

These people who were the first to learn how to do business in the town seemed to have suddenly learned to work together out of nowhere, so every year they would use the excuse of an ordering meeting to gather small shops in several surrounding villages together to pay for goods and order goods for the coming year.

Such centralized ordering not only allows them to be the first to obtain the funds needed for business in the coming year, but also allows their several wholesale departments to avoid competition with each other to the greatest extent.

After more than ten years of operation, they have already monopolized the wholesale business of all nearby small shops, and those smaller ones or those without financial resources have long been squeezed to a minimum by them.

However, there will occasionally be "deviations". For example, when greeting customers outside the door, the owner of a small shop who welcomes an order to his store will show off and say a few proud words like several other wholesale department owners, otherwise he will look too good.

It's not even ugly.

They had done this kind of "play" too much, and others had already figured it out, so every shop owner who came over had a gloomy look on his face, looking as if he was about to be guillotined.

But they have no choice but to endure being exploited again and again.

They gradually called the ordering meeting "Hongmen Banquet".

A well-dressed man with a square face stood in front of the door for a while and found that no business from his store came to the door. He twisted his face and said disdainfully:

"Tanniang's business is getting worse and worse. We brothers may be the first to close down!"

"Who are you to blame? We told you a long time ago that it doesn't matter whether the price is high or low, but you can't stop your kid from making fakes. They will smash batches in their hands and of course they will run away!"

"Hey, hey, don't stand and talk without your back hurting. Can the real thing make money? Brother has hired so many people. There is no charge for eating, drinking, and sleeping. There is also water, electricity, and rent. Can you pay for it on my behalf?

"

"Why should you let me out? If you have ruined your business, why are you looking for us..." The boss of Xingtai Wholesale Department, who was looking at the position to his right, stared as if he was really angry and stood on the steps with an air of dignity.

The extraordinary man suddenly waved his hand and said:

"Okay, okay, today is our big day, what's the point of doing it for such a trivial matter? It's all in vain for those people to see our joke. Besides, although we help each other in business, after all, our own store is our own

The final say!" As he said that, he glanced at the square-faced man lightly.

"Yes, yes, Brother Li is right!"

"Brother Li has seen it thoroughly, hahaha..." As soon as he finished speaking, several wholesale department bosses hurriedly laughed and agreed, and even the square-faced man hurriedly squeezed out a smile.

.

"What Brother Jian said is profound. Brothers have to admire it. Whoever owns the store will manage it, and whoever's son will teach it by himself..." Next to him, he leaned against the stone lion at the entrance of Wan Yuan Hotel. A certain sharp-faced man suddenly laughed, stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and went in on his own. From the beginning to the end, he didn't greet the shop owners, as if they didn't deserve to talk to him at all.

"Oh, I really envy Shen San. The business is so good, it's almost twice as good as mine!" The boss of the wholesale department who originally squeezed the square-faced man shook his head and said helplessly.

"No, what did Shen San mean by that last sentence just now? Whose son is he?" Suddenly, the leader next to him muttered to himself with a confused face, and then he seemed to realize As if something had happened, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at Li Jianguo.

"..." At this moment, everyone else seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Li Jianguo with strange expressions on their faces.

They heard a piece of news recently.

Li Jianguo's son, Li Xiaojun, got a female clerk in his store pregnant and kept threatening her not to talk nonsense.

As a result, people working in the store were so tired that they had miscarriages, which frightened many people who purchased goods at that time.

Li Jianguo has been very upset about this matter recently, but he didn't expect that the boy Shen San would expose it in front of them today.

When Li Jianguo saw them all looking sideways at him, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

Someone nearby saw this, and his heart skipped a beat. He quickly pulled the square-faced man and winked, shouting loudly:

"Okay, okay, it's almost time. We should go in. Let's go for a walk and don't hang around here!"

"I would have frozen to death if I stepped on my horse!"

"Come on, I can't stand it anymore!" Several people winked at each other and walked into the hotel behind them, leaving only Li Jianguo standing at the door with a face as cold as frost.

"Huh!" After a moment, Li Jianguo snorted coldly, took out his mobile phone and dialed a certain number directly, saying in a bad tone: "Where are you, little bastard? Come here immediately to greet my guests!"

"Dad, why did you let me go in such a cold weather? Don't they have waiters in their restaurant? If you need anything, you can just ask them to go. Why do you have to trick your own son!"

"I'll only give you ten minutes. If you don't come by then, just move out from home. Labor and management can't afford to lose that person!" Li Jianguo hung up the phone with a serious tone.

In fact, he didn't ask his son to come here so that he could learn well. After all, it had been more than 20 years and if he could learn well, he wouldn't have waited until today.

He asked Li Xiaojun to come here simply to block the mouths of those people inside, because they were somewhat taboo about Li Xiaojun's presence and would not say anything openly.

Soon Li Xiaojun came running over on the best motorcycle in the town. He was still very afraid of his father, but except for his father, Li Xiaojun could be said to have no fear in the whole town.

To Li Xiaojun's chagrin, his father called him over angrily and actually arranged for him to be a gatekeeper.

It was such a cold day that he was shivering from the cold but he didn't dare to be lazy. He also had a bad look on the shop owners who wanted to get close to him.

"Hey, Mr. Li is here to welcome guests. Come on, come in. It's such a cold day, so don't freeze!"

"Go, go, don't say sarcastic words, you think I'm willing to suffer the cold here!"

"Ah, Xiaojun, why are you...?"

"Get out!" A small shop owner didn't expect that he would scold him on the spot. Hearing this, his face turned red and he was stunned for a while before he walked into the shop with a depressed look on his face.

At this moment, a man and a woman suddenly walked out of the wind and snow in the distance.

The man looked to be about the same age as him, but his facial features could not be discerned because of the mask he wore, but the girl beside him had slim legs and a slim waist.

At first glance, it doesn’t look particularly outstanding, but it has a unique flavor because of its young age.

Just as he was looking at the girl with his narrow eyes, the other two people had already walked over.

The heavily armed boy immediately stepped forward, pointed at him and shouted: "Hey, what are you looking at, be careful as your eyeballs fall to the ground!"

Li Xiaojun rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You saw me with that eye when you were riding a horse..." At this moment, as the boy took off the mask covering his face, his eyes suddenly

Become sluggish.
