Wu Shigong sat in the main seat in the inner hall, silent. Xu Limu and the six hundred households sat aside and did not say a word. They all thought that Wu Shigong was deliberately neglecting them because of their contempt for Wu Shigong this morning.
, and received another kind of humiliation from Wu Shigong, no one wanted to be the one who was shot at this time. Therefore, the inner hall seemed very quiet. However, they all miscalculated, Wu Shigong was carefully brewing
, how to speak to these people, because the first speech is very important, it will concretely reflect Wu Shigong's life plan.
In his previous life, Wu Shigong was able to grow from a small gangster to a gang tycoon in six years. Not to mention his personal bravery and intelligence, if you insist on using a praise word to describe him, it can be called both civil and military. And he
The way he acts always naturally and unnaturally reveals the acting style of a gangster, and some behaviors have even become an instinct in his actions. (Wu Shigong's gangster instinct is not unimportant, but an integral part of his actions in this work.
Great criterion. Therefore, the characteristics of his underworld instinct will be introduced in detail later.)
Another very important reason is that Wu Shigong is very ambitious. Otherwise, not to mention six years, even sixteen or sixty years, there are still a lot of people who are still small gangsters in society.
The reason why other people will follow you is because they have a bright future and can make money by following you, not because you dominate the world in boxing or can help your friends. Otherwise, all the gang bosses are boxing champions.
Although the identity of Wu Shigong's son-in-law in time travel is unpleasant, Wu Shigong has no choice but to change it. However, as a man, his ambition to start a career on his own will never be lost to Wu Shigong. Originally, Wu Shigong might have just traveled through time.
, if he is not familiar with the situation, he may take a look at the situation temporarily, and even settle for enjoying the stable and wealthy life because there are no good opportunities. But now Xue Lian pushed him to the position of acting commander of the Nancheng Military and Horse Command Department.
With a position of certain power, and with this platform, how could the fire of Wu Shigong's ambition not burn brightly?
Of course, there is another hidden reason, mainly because Wu Shigong is a little worried. Wu Shigong knows that he is young and has no qualifications. The reason why he got this position is because he has a father-in-law who is Yang Wuhou - Xue Lian
As a backer, and Xue Lian's backer is Wei Zhongxian. From the limited historical knowledge in his memory, it is known that Wei Zhongxian's end is very sad. Although he has gained the emperor's trust and is very prosperous, as long as the new emperor comes to power, people will inevitably lose him.
The dead clan is exterminated. Without backers, Xue Lian, who is Wei Zhongxian's cronies, and Wu Shigong, who is Wei Zhongxian's cronies, will also end badly, and may even have their families confiscated and exterminated. But when will the old emperor die? When will the new emperor?
Coming to power? It might have happened decades later, or it might have happened tomorrow. The specific time, but Wu Shigong has no impression at all in his memory. Ignorance is not the most terrifying thing. Knowing a little bit is terrifying.
. Therefore, before the new emperor comes to power, firmly grasping or even expanding the power in your hands as much as possible can make you have the possibility of being won over by the new emperor, or at least the possibility of being defeated. This is a way to save yourself.
Taking a step back, if you can use your power to earn enough money, using the money to bribe the cronies around the new emperor can be another way to preserve yourself.
Therefore, the combination of Wu Shigong's instinct, ambition and sense of crisis determines his life plan for the next period of time. That is - seize the time, win over the most people in the shortest time, and get the most possible.
The power to make the most money.
Perhaps many viewers have acquired their impressions of the underworld from foreign and Hong Kong triad films and literary works, but unfortunately, after literary processing, many of the introductions in these works are one-sided, or even completely wrong.
.The introduction of the underworld can be completely written as a paper, but it has little to do with this novel. However, in order for readers to better understand Wu Shigong’s thoughts and code of conduct, here, the author will also briefly introduce: What is the underworld?
In fact, there is no word "gangster" in the official names of various countries and regions. "gangster" is mainly a popular name among the people. In official documents, they are called "organized crime". But the author
I still think this title is not comprehensive enough, and I think it should be called "a group of organized criminal money-making organizations."
Therefore, all the activities of the underworld (for the sake of simplicity, we will still call it "the underworld" in this article) are centered around the purpose of making money. The status of the various leaders of the underworld in the underworld is also based on their ability to make money.
It depends more or less. Of course, these leaders must also have the ability to protect themselves. The underworld does not commit crimes for the sake of committing crimes. If he commits crimes, it is only to make money. The underworld will even play a role in maintaining normal social order in certain specific places.
, completely playing a role as a powerful supplement to the police. For example, the crime rates in several major gambling cities in the world are relatively low.
Especially the boss of the underworld, anyone who can be called a drug lord is a master in running industries and making illegal and legal money. It is no exaggeration to say that every drug lord, except for certain aspects (
For example, in foreign languages), with his business talent and ability, he is more than enough to be the CEO of any large company. The same is certainly true for Wu Shigong. But on the other hand, in large companies, big bosses who can make all the difference, especially those who
Those who are able to start from scratch are fully capable of taking on the position of a powerful tycoon. The difference between them is simply that they have different life experiences, so they have embarked on different paths.
It is not difficult to understand that some wealthy tycoons who were lucky enough not to be arrested, through their unremitting efforts, in the second and third generations, were successfully washed away from the black and white, and through their own words and deeds and the huge accumulation of
After these reasons of wealth, he transformed his family into a business tycoon and a wealthy family (a certain foreign diving star married into a wealthy family, as can be seen from their family's shares in Macau casinos).
Another characteristic of the underworld is that its ways of making money are very vague. Why do you say this? Of course the underworld makes a lot of money through crime, but it can also make a lot of money through legal channels. After all, who can make money legally?
Don't you want to? But this money is not the bulk of all the money it makes. Among the ways it makes money, the biggest source is those gray areas. In plain words, it means taking advantage of legal loopholes. For example, now
There are not many underworlds that directly charge protection fees. This is a simple and crude method that can be seen as criminal at a glance. However, it is very common to send a few people to collect viewing fees. Because charging viewing fees can be regarded as
It is a disguised form of collecting protection fees, but it can also be defended as legally collecting security fees. This behavior is difficult to define in a legal sense. A lot of the underworld's income comes from similar legal marginal areas.
Ironically, this has also brought about another negative consequence, that is, as long as those countries and regions with relatively sound laws, the underworld can get the soil and space to thrive. For example, the United States and Italy in the West, and the East in the East
Japan and Hong Kong... Of course, now that countries and regions attach great importance to the phenomenon of underworld and carry out targeted attacks, the underworld has been effectively controlled. Pay attention! It is control, not elimination. Authoritarian countries that are not very particular about the law,
The underworld could not develop. For example, in history, under Mussolini’s Italian fascist government, the mafia was severely punished by him. Not to mention Hitler, under the heavy pressure of the Gestapo and the direct threat of the concentration camps,
There was no room for gangs to survive in Germany under Nazi rule.
Another characteristic of the underworld is its organization. On the surface, the underworld, especially its peripheral members, is very loosely managed, but its core members are managed in an extremely strict manner and have formed a certain "enterprise"
"Culture", its uploading and issuing of information and transmission of orders, its fund management and transmission, all have strict requirements. In addition, for the centripetal force of members within the organization, there are many strict rules and requirements. For example, we are in Hong Kong
One of the rules often seen in gangster movies is that you are not allowed to play brother's "second sister-in-law". However, this is not absolute. Even if some members break some small rules, others will open their eyes and close their eyes.
For example, this person has a good background (where there are people, there are gangs, and people in the gangs are no exception), and for example, this person is very good at making money (this situation further emphasizes that the underworld is a money-making organization).
Precisely because the underworld is organized, its members are very disciplined. Basically, the core members of the underworld will not disturb the people. As long as ordinary people do not have anything to do with the underworld, the underworld members will basically not come to trouble them. Of course,
If you insist on borrowing usurious loans from the underworld and not repaying it, don't blame them for writing red letters on your door and pouring shit on you. Even some members of the underworld are very polite in their daily lives when interacting with their neighbors. For example, Japan's largest
The leader of the triad organization, the triad, sends bodyguards to clean the streets around his house every day, and bows to say hello to his neighbors when he meets them. This makes the performance of the gang members very deceptive among ordinary people. Of course, when
When the underworld commits crimes that disturb the public, it is basically to make money for themselves.
Since the members of the underworld are basically from the bottom of society, they want to make money and do not have the capital to start. Therefore, in addition to using criminal methods and wandering on the edge of crime, they often use the most effective method.
The most common method of making huge profits by grabbing land and collecting protection fees is to monopolize the right to collect protection fees in this area. In a sense, regardless of whether it is a crime or not, the monopoly and guarantee guaranteed by the underworld
Microsoft's monopoly on Windows bundle sales is essentially the same.
The last characteristic of the underworld is that it has inextricably complicated relationships with the outside world. Needless to say, the peripheral members of the underworld are all kinds of people, and they have all kinds of jobs. In fact, many core members of the underworld even have normal families.
Normal work can effectively cover his identity. In addition, the underworld has effectively maintained a good relationship with officials, especially officials from law enforcement departments, through bribery, bribery and other means, creating the so-called police and gangster family. This is of course also
It is a means for the underworld to reduce its operating costs. After all, if it is completely hostile to law enforcement agencies, it will be too late to work hard every day. Where will the time be to make money? This also makes the underworld extremely harmful to society.
From this point of view, Wu Shigong's life plan is nothing more than the following points: internally, he focuses on the organization and core, and the key is to make money; externally, he provides patrons, routines, and maintains good external relations. Of course, today, today
These do not need to be brought up at the meeting with Xu Limu and these six hundred households.
Wu Shigong finished brewing carefully, cleared his throat, asked them to focus on himself, and began the first ideological unification meeting of the Nancheng Army Command Department. It should be said that this meeting was quite successful, and the Nancheng Army
The Horse Command Division has become a collective with combat effectiveness, and Wu Shigong has become the well-deserved leadership core of the Nancheng Army and Horse Command Division in the future.
(In the future, there may be chapters similar to this one that should be included in the information. But the author still thinks they should be included in the text, because they all help readers understand the background of the character’s origin and the historical background of the late Ming Dynasty.
