In a three-story gambling stall in Tianhong Port, Longcheng, Gu Baishun let Xu Hu's boys play cards downstairs, while he only took two of them to the second-floor box.
After drinking tea and waiting for about twenty minutes, a man in his thirties walked in.
"Hey, Mr. Gu is here." The man smiled and greeted Gu Baishun.
"Brother You, long time no see." Gu Baishun stood up and extended his palm politely.
The man named You Ge looked at the other two people in the room, then raised his arm to shake hands with Gu Baishun, and then sat on the chair opposite.
"What's the matter, Mr. Gu?" Brother You asked directly.
"It's true... something happened." Gu Baishun scratched his head with an expression on his face. He seemed to hesitate for a long time before he said bravely: "There have been a lot of troubles during this period. We also have some internal conflicts in Zhanan. I came here to talk to you.
Let’s talk and see what we do in the future.”
Brother You picked up the tea cup, paused and replied: "What can we do? If no one is dead, we all have to survive."
"That's right. No matter what happens above, our brothers from the Ma Gang still have to support their families and live." Gu Baishun followed the other person's words and said: "Today I went to the General Association to talk to the people from the Presbyterian Church.
After chatting for a while, everyone supported Brother Hu to take over this stall in Zhanan. In addition, Wei Xiangzuo colluded with outsiders to kill my father, and the association would definitely not tolerate him again, so I came over to walk around with everyone to see if I could
These industries and businesses in Zhanan cannot be integrated as soon as possible."
Here at the Coders Association, in addition to doing business at sea, there are also many businesses on the ground.
Ma Gang is involved in a series of businesses such as "butcher shops" at ports in various districts, gambling stalls, entertainment boats at sea, various seafood businesses, ground supermarkets, restaurants, etc.
The original intention of doing this is to diversify the business. Because the maritime business is cyclical, the amount of cargo handled every month is actually relatively fixed. Taking two more trips for cargo and two fewer trips for cargo will have an impact on the total amount.
Not big.
The business on the ground can create more additional benefits. To put it simply, when there is no goods at sea, the brothers below will also have income, make money, and have something to do.
In other districts, the ground business is basically decided by one person. Apart from the commission given to the general association every month, the rest is allocated by each district code gang. Who is involved in this process?
Whoever contributes will be balanced and benefited by the gang.
However, the situation in Zhanan is quite special. Wei Xiangzuo occupies a very important position in terms of internal power. In other words, sitting in court takes away a certain amount of say from the gang leaders, which leads to the fact that the above-ground business in Zhanan District is also in a state of fragmentation.
Part of it is managed and operated by Xu Hu, and the other part is controlled by Wei Xiangzuo. The ratio between the two is about 6:4.
…
Today, Gu Baishun came to see the temporary person in charge of this gambling stall. The purpose was to help Xu Hu get "territory" and occupy the shop. This strategy was proposed by the traitor Cheng Gang. His motive for doing this was also very simple. As long as Xu Hu
The business of Wei Xiangzuo's shop was completely wiped out, and the people below had nothing to do and no money to make, so naturally they should disperse and those who should surrender should surrender.
This move can be regarded as a blow to the bottom of the pot, but Gu Baishun did not show an aggressive attitude when talking to the other party, but discussed it.
After Brother You understood what the other party meant, he raised his glass and took a sip of tea. He frowned and said, "Wei Xiangzuo colluded with outsiders to kill Mr. Gu. This is definitely a violation of the rules. We have nothing to say and we will definitely not do it again."
We support him, and we have no objection to what the General Association wants to do with him. But having said that, we in Zhanan have always had a rule, that is, whoever invests in the shop and business has the final say.
We can pay the Tangkou and the General Association according to our previous share, but there is no reason to hand over the sales directly!"
Gu Baishun rubbed his palms: "That's it. Brother Hu said that the money invested in the store will be bought out according to the current market price. It is not mandatory to take it for free."
"If the food business is sold directly, how will we live in the future?" Brother You asked.
"It doesn't matter. We are still members of the Ma Gang. Brother Hu will not let the brothers below have nothing to do and make no money." Gu Baishun replied with a smile.
Brother You waved his hand: "I don't have a problem with Xu Hu. Let's be honest. My eldest brother and Lao Wei invested money to build several shops in this street. Now he has run away.
I can't find him, so I can only temporarily manage the business here for him. But I don't have the power, so I just sold the business and handed it over, do you understand what I mean?"
When Gu Baishun heard this, he licked his lips unconsciously.
"If you want to take it, just ask my elder brother. If he agrees, then I have no objection." Brother You added again.
Gu Baishun looked very reserved and looked at the other person, seemingly at a loss for words.
"Old You, why are you such a jerk?" At this moment, Brother Xu Hu, who came with Gu Baishun, frowned and said: "You also know that your eldest brother has run away, so why are you still insisting here?!
It says to collect and pay back the money. If you just finish the matter quickly, won't it be over? You have to wait until you fall out, do you regret it?"
Brother You looked at each other and said nothing.
"Wei Xiangzuo doesn't fucking care about you anymore. Your eldest brother has gone off to nowhere. Why can't you understand?" The other party continued in a low voice: "How many people have been arrested by the Coast Guard in the port in the past few days?
Don’t you know how many people were thrown into the sea?”
Brother You paused for a moment, then turned around and shouted: "Is there any more tea? Some more."
After the words fell, the door was pushed open, and a dozen men walked into the room expressionlessly and stood on both sides of the wall.
Gu Baishun frowned and looked outside. He saw many people on the second floor gathered around the door and looked into the house.
Xu Hu's brother raised his eyebrows and asked, "Old You, are you stupid enough to rebel?"
"Business and business are all the businesses that brothers use to support their families." Lao You stood up, looked at the other party and said, "If you hand it over, your life will no longer be in your hands! What's more, this business is indeed not mine. Is it really for sale?
Now, I can’t explain it to my elder brother.”
Xu Hu's brother stood up slowly: "You really don't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
"Something happened to Wei Xiangzuo. How many people did Xu Hu destroy in Zhanan?" Lao You answered simply: "If the higher ups really don't give you a way to survive, then let's make trouble! There is chaos in Zhanan, and the police station
I am so anxious that I have to rush to arrest all the people in the Presbyterian Church."
Xu Hu's brother frowned when he heard this.
"If you want to be included, you have to show sincerity! Who can convince you with just a stick and a hammer?!" Brother Yu said, turned around and left.
Gu Baishun pulled brother Xu Hu's arm and persuaded him softly: "Forget it, forget it, don't make trouble now, the police station is really watching Zhanan."
…
Sinalo region.
After Su Tianyu arrived here, he and Wei Xiangzuo waited for a long time, and finally saw someone coming from the harbor.
In a bungalow, a middle-aged man of about forty years old, with a Coast Guard gun stuck in his waist, frowned at Wei Xiangzuo and said: "...Now the rumors are going crazy, saying that you killed Gu Tongshan."
