Frankly speaking, the underworld in Lu Hai is not very powerful. The few gangsters under Lao Lan are just a facade, looking fierce, and in terms of combat effectiveness, they are what later generations call the five scum on the Internet.
But he was born in Hongmen and was well-organized. Regardless of his identity, people from Lu and Hai were rich. Nowadays, money means fighting power. Lao Lan just throws away 1.8 million and finds a few overseas killers. Really?
It's too simple. Whether it's a Vietnamese gang or a Daquan gang, the key is that he has a good reputation and can find professionals if he can afford it.
This is a far cry. At that time, Lu Tianxiang received a big order and the price he quoted was almost 20% lower than that of a certain land and sea merchant. They only asked for mold making, and they quoted 780,000, so he only quoted 600,000.
fifty thousand.
Lu Hai people think that you are being blind, what if they are pursuing monopoly profits? In a certain industry, once they have a monopoly, they will force other peers to recognize this rule.
In fact, for operators, this is not entirely a bad thing. With industry rules, everyone no longer has to compete disorderly and desperately lower prices. Of course, for consumers, this is not a good thing.
In short, Lu Tianxiang thought that with 650,000 yuan, I could still earn around 100,000 yuan, which was good. Unexpectedly, one day, he was stopped halfway by someone and took him to see "Master Lan".
Needless to say, the result was that Lu Tianxiang withdrew his quotation obediently, and the order was gone. However, after so many years of working abroad, he was used to it. Being friendly makes money, and there are some things that cannot be discussed.
But habit is habit. After returning to his hometown, he was still the richest man in Beichong, and he still enjoyed the flattery of others. Chinese people have a "returning home in fine clothes" complex. No matter how much suffering I have suffered outside, I won't say it. I am a successful person.
Come back to see my parents and fellow villagers.
But after meeting Mr. Hu, he couldn't calm down at all, and endless old and new grudges came to his heart. So he smiled slightly. "Master Lan, you are trying to drive me out of the mold industry...don't remember my number."
It’s normal for him to be a small person.”
"I remembered, Aotong's list," Mr. Hu pointed at him, turned around and introduced to Chen Taizhong with a wry smile, "This is a foreign trade list. Aotong has not been doing domestic business for three years. It specializes in export, and there are requirements for molds.
Very high... It has been almost four years now. It was not that I was unreasonable at the time, but Mr. Lu's quotation, which really affected the market."
"Then you won't say it nicely?" Chen Taizhong frowned. He didn't want to dwell on the past anymore. But there was no problem in blaming the other party. "You must have done something excessive to Mr. Lu, right?
"
"If I speak well, others will believe me, right?" Lao Lan replied disapprovingly, "Sometimes there is not so much reason to explain when doing things... If you are too reasonable, you won't get anything done."
"You are better than our demolition office," Chen Taizhong sneered. This was the second time he heard such words in less than twenty-four hours, and it really felt strange in his heart. "I dare not make sense...
…I’m not talking about you, you are really too amateur.”
These words were Lu Hai's fault. District Chief Chen said at that time, you can't even catch a few people for me. This underworld is not as good as an amateur like me. Now it's just an old talk again.
How can I compare to you? I don't dare to kill so many people. Lao Lan smiled and didn't explain much. Instead, he nodded to Lu Tianxiang, "I did it inappropriately at the beginning, and I didn't expect it."
, Mr. Lu, you have the support of District Chief Chen, survival of the fittest, this society is very practical...what do you need me to do?"
Lu Tianxiang didn't expect that there would be such a proud moment, so he turned his head and glanced at District Chief Chen.
"If you have anything to say, just say it," Chen Taizhong nodded. He actually called Lao Lan here for other purposes. But now, he must first support his own people. "We Beichong people just talk about clear grudges. What?
, I was there, but you still didn’t dare to say anything?”
"There was a guy with a mole on his chin, on the left side of his chin." Lu Tianxiang was heartbroken. "That guy was very unreasonable to me, so I thought I would deal with him sooner or later."
"That's Erhu. He's already dead." Mr. Hu glanced at Chen Taizhong, who you have to admit died in your hands. "He died and the account was written off. I will apologize to you on his behalf."
"Then it's gone." Lu Tianxiang is not an honest person. An honest person can't be as good as him, but suddenly, the most powerful master in the land and sea underworld came to talk to him about reconciliation. He didn't dare to open his mouth randomly, even if it was
District Chief Chen was present.
"Brother Lan, don't you underwrite hundreds of thousands of teapots?" someone asked next to him. Chen Taizhong turned his head and saw that it was Lu Tianxiang's second brother. He looked at Lao Lan with a half-smile.
Otherwise, you should leave three points of leeway in your life. Just because the eldest brother is easy to talk to, does not mean that the second eldest brother is easy to talk to. Lao Lan finally realized that. How can you often walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?
He thought about it again and realized that fortunately, he didn't offend the Lu brothers too much back then. So he glanced at Chen Taizhong and hesitated before replying, "You can't sell your product to Lu Hai."
"Lao Lan, you don't have the sincerity to resolve conflicts when you say that," District Chief Chen said with a smile.
"I'm telling the truth," Mr. Hu waved his hands helplessly. This man spoke up. He had to explain clearly, "The craftsmanship is average and the materials are thick... I took it to Lu Hai and it was counterfeited.
The cost is at least a quarter lower than yours, and your materials are too genuine to compete with those from Lu Hai."
Chen Taizhong was speechless. This was another familiar argument. Products are genuine and cannot be sold to those who cut corners. In such an era, the even more bizarre logic is: if you make it too solid, others will use it for twenty or thirty years without breaking. In the future, the products
How to sell?
He didn't say anything, but he frightened Mr. Hu, who had to smile bitterly, "Well, since I have offended you before, I will help you sell this thing to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, where quality is still more important... Okay
Bar?"
"If I can sell it to Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, I'm really grateful to Brother Lan," Lu Tianxiang nodded with a smile.
"It's easy to say, but your appearance is still a bit rough and not exquisite enough," Lao Lan commented while glancing at District Chief Chen from the corner of his eye. When he found that the man didn't respond, he had to bite the bullet and continue, "Also, the packaging must be good.
…Anyway, you should try your best to improve your craftsmanship.”
"Alas," Chen Taizhong sighed, and everyone was startled. When they asked what happened, District Chief Chen muttered in a low voice, "What have the mainlanders done wrong that they can't keep good things?"
"Can't I still sell it in the mainland?" Lu Tianxiang laughed, "Okay, it's getting late, let's eat."
The life of the richest man in Beichong was really simple. When he knew that District Chief Chen was coming, he fried some chicken nuggets, fried two fish, and bought some beef and pig head meat. They sat in Mr. Lu's simple room.
Eat and drink in the office.
At the wine table, District Chief Chen and Mr. Hu talked about Shanfeng Group's investment. Chen Taizhong said that you can do anything from catering to service. There is a principle. Don't worry about transactions involving people's livelihood and energy.
Already.
Lao Lan actually now has a rough understanding of what kind of person Chen Taizhong is. These requirements are not surprising at all. He is building coal reserves for future power plants, and the energy will not be greatly affected by the market.
Thinking of the idea that Qi Huang dared to attack Chen Taizhong's coal source, Mr. Hu had to shake his head secretly. This was really a death-seeking rhythm, and he deserved to be disappeared.
However, regarding the two industries suggested by District Mayor Chen, he tactfully said that I am not very good at catering and service industries.
If other Luhai people hear this, their jaws will definitely drop. In fact, Master Lan not only owns hotels and KTVs, he and his men control more than half of the catering and service industries in Tonghai.
But Mr. Hu will never work in these industries in Beichong. Only local people can do it. If outsiders come, they must be strong enough. Otherwise, the previous investment will most likely be in vain.
The relationship between him and Chen Taizhong was definitely not on good terms, but Liang Zi had exposed it, so he hesitantly asked, "Can you sell me a piece of land? I am engaged in real estate development and I will buy it at a high price."
"I told you not to mention these things that are related to people's livelihood," Chen Taizhong snorted. Beichong now has a vast area and sparsely populated areas, but it is hard to say whether it will develop well in the future.
Beichong is so big and is at the junction of three provinces. Not to mention the current 180,000 people, it can fully accommodate another 380,000 people. What he needs to consider now is how to increase the number of jobs in Beichong.
If we are not able to grow enough on our own, we must consider vigorously developing other industries.
It is precisely because of this ambitious goal that he must control the urban planning. How can he allow others to develop Beichong indiscriminately? "Otherwise, Xiaoling Township will sell you a piece of land for real estate, do you want it?"
Xiaoling Township is where they eat now. Not only is the road difficult to walk, it is also very far behind. It is about ten kilometers away from the city, and there is no development value at all.
Mr. Hu was also stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect to get a good land in the center of the city, but he was not afraid to buy the land in the suburbs at a high price. People from Luhai were really familiar with the business development. By then, it would really work.
Don’t worry about housing prices being affordable, they may not be worse than those in urban areas.
Of course, there are risks involved, that is, whether Beichong can develop rapidly. Regarding this, he is very willing to take a gamble. Even if he loses the bet, he still has land in hand, and he will not lose everything, right?
But when buying land in Xiaoling Township, the distance is really far. Lao Lan believes that no matter how fast Beichong develops, it will take at least ten years to expand the urban area to Xiaoling Township. And this is only a conceptual expansion.
This means that there is potential for development here.
It may take twenty years... or even longer for Xiaoling Township to truly prosper.
So he hesitated slightly before asking, "How much does it cost per acre?"
"One hundred thousand, if you make a one-time payment, I can give you a 50% discount," Chen Taizhong held up his wine glass and motioned for everyone to drink. "Within two thousand acres, you can say whatever you want. I still believe in the management capabilities of Luhai people."
Mr. Hu picked up the small wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and breathed out the alcohol, as if sighing, "It's expensive."
District Chief Chen smiled, picked up a piece of chicken, threw it into his mouth, chewed the chicken bones until they made a crunching sound, then stretched his neck and swallowed the chicken and bones, and then uttered five words with a smile:
