It’s the Chinese New Year, and everyone wants to eat something good to comfort their stomachs.
Especially those rough people who make money.
At noon on New Year's Eve, at "Shun Dong Lai" in Wangfujing, the capital, some rough gentlemen set up two tables.
Twenty people, a group of black crows, gathered together and had a lively chat.
But as long as you get a little closer to these people and hear their conversation for a moment, you will feel uncomfortable and afraid to stop.
Because everyone with a discerning eye knows clearly that there is not a single good person here.
He is not a toil on the road, he is also a son of society.
The words these guys say are all wild and toneless, and they are unpalatable to the ears. Who would want to provoke them?
"Hey, Huzi, you didn't give me a cigarette when I came here. Are you pretending not to see..."
"Fuck you, Fourth Brother, are you still showing off in front of me? If you want to smoke my cigarettes, wait until you die. I will light three cigarettes for you on your grave..."
"Huzi, you have a bad temper recently. I heard that you are helping me with Lao Guang. Hey, the female boss who gave you jeans has let you sleep, right? Let's have a good chat. What is it like to eat women's food?
?”
"Look at your virtue, you're almost in trouble. Just say it if you envy me. I know, you lost 50,000 yuan in the past month, and you've basically lost it. You want to give me a toast, I'll give it to you.
A hundred pairs of jeans are not a problem, how about it?"
"Look at your behavior. Don't worry, even if your fourth master is begging for food, he will go around the door of your house."
"Zhuzi, you don't care about anyone anymore, do you? How dare you come so late today? Come here quickly and I'll drink three drinks as a penalty."
"Oh, Dayong, damn, I just ran back from Muxiyuan today. I have something that can make money. Don't say I don't miss you. I found a Zhejiang guy to wholesale leather jackets, thirty-one.
Do you want it?"
"Thirty, do you want to harm me? Could this be a fucking thing? Xiushui Street will be a regular market soon. If you do this, the monks can't escape the temple, and sooner or later you will be in trouble. Be careful to put up walls for you.
Go up there and die early and be reincarnated early."
"Why are you talking to my big brother? Do you know what to do?"
"Little boy, you're the elder. It's not your turn to speak here yet. I'll ask your elder brother to teach you how to behave!"
"Damn it, I'm just pretending to be an old gunner. Do you believe it?" The three or four people behind Zhu Zhu were about to stand up.
Zhuzhu quickly scolded and stopped him.
"Everyone sit down, you idiot! Shut your mouths one by one! Dayong, these are the little brothers I just accepted. Don't be polite, please be more responsible."
"It's raw enough, I like it, forget it..."
There are steps on both sides.
In fact, all dissatisfaction is fake, and pretense is real. In this situation, no one dares to overturn.
Because this bureau was originally set up by the self-employed people who were brought to Xiushui Street by Luo Guangliang.
Hu Zi, Lao Si, Zhu Zhu, Dayong, and the rest of them go to the same market every day to make ends meet, play cards together, and even drink together when they have nothing to do. Who is not familiar with whom?
This banquet was nothing more than a get-together with eldest brother Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao, whom they had not seen for nearly a year.
That is to say, they are different now from the past. With the accumulation of funds, they are no longer working alone.
They all recruited a few young people to help, and when they met each other, they teased Menzi, bragging, and showing off in front of their subordinates.
Anyway, while they were chatting, Luo Guangliang came in with Xiao Tao.
Hu Zi, Lao Si, Zhu Zhu and Dayong stood up and called "Third Brother".
Under their leadership, everyone stood up to greet them.
But Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao were all dressed in postage-stamp outfits, including military coats, cotton-padded jackets, cotton trousers, and five-eye cotton shoes.
Although it was warm, it seemed a bit rustic compared to a table full of self-employed people dumping their clothes.
This can't help but make the gang of kids who followed him a little disappointed.
However, Luo Guangliang was soft on the outside and responsive on the inside, and his temperament remained intact. He turned a deaf ear to the whispered gossip and hugged him with both hands.
"Brothers, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Looking at how strong your troops are, you are all strong now. I'm happy for you. Since we are all our own people, there are no vulgarities and politeness. Today's meal is mine. Everyone deserves to eat it.
Eat and drink, it all depends on your mood, open the cup. Drink as much wine as you want. Just one piece, don't be drunk with grudges, just do what you want, and the future will be long."
Then he pulled Xiao Tao and sat down on the front seat.
Huzi was the first to stand and raise his glass.
"Third brother, let me make you laugh. You still don't know what's going on with our good deeds. It's all thanks to your help that we are here today. You will always be our third brother, so we must not treat you today.
We brothers are inviting you together. Third brother, let me pay you a compliment first."
They are all understanding people, so they naturally know what to do.
Then everyone toasted Luo Guangliang one by one and chatted with Xiao Tao.
Hot pot, side dishes, mutton, beef, cabbage, vermicelli, louvers, and sesame seed pancakes were also brought to the restaurant at a reasonable price by someone who urged the waiters in the restaurant.
However, the politeness and spectacle at the table were over, and everyone had been eating enthusiastically for a while, and the meal began to look a little unusual.
Qingqing Huzi, Laosi, Zhuzi and Dayong are drunkards who don't care about drinking. The purpose of their party is not pure. In fact, they have other ideas.
For no other reason than who made the Xiushui Street market prosperous now.
They sell clothes on Xiushui Street to earn money from foreigners, which is the most fashionable and profitable business at the moment.
Even among all the self-employed clothing businesses in Beijing, they can be regarded as the most profitable ones.
Although when the market was being formalized, they were all troubled by the street because of their daily misbehavior, and were almost kicked out of the market.
In the end, thanks to Ning Weimin's efforts, each of them got a Xiushui Street stall.
But many people are dissatisfied. Over the past few months, the initial joy and gratitude have gradually turned into jealousy.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that they had lost too much, and they were really unhappy that they had lost a stall.
In comparison, seeing Ning Weimin monopolizing nearly thirty stalls in such a prosperous place, he couldn't help but be jealous.
Naturally, they had other thoughts. They wanted to encourage Luo Guangliang to talk to Ning Weimin again and cut the cake again.
I also want to persuade Luo Guangliang to be a strong dragon but not a local snake.
He planned to use Luo Guangliang as a cover to stand up for them so that he could dominate the market and dominate the market from now on.
They believed that Luo Guangliang was a troubled man and was particularly concerned about his brothers' affairs. He was always like a land lord who responded to every request.
As long as they say something nice and get the eldest brother to fight, the matter will basically be fine.
As the saying goes, it's like making a fuss over a rice field, that's what it means.
"Third brother, to tell you the truth, Xiushui Street is so prosperous now that it is no exaggeration to say it is number one in the capital. Brothers, we are not looking forward to anything else right now. We are just looking forward to you coming back as soon as possible and taking everyone with you."
Let’s do it together. It’s best if we can unify the entire market. From now on, the entire Xiushui Street will listen to our brothers.”
Hu Zi first fills people in with something that sounds nice.
Then Lao Si took over and went deeper, throwing out the bait that would bring him both fame and fortune.
"That's right, Third Brother, such a good piece of land must be occupied by those who are capable. It depends on who has the vision and courage to strike first. Third Brother, with you as a big flag, all the brothers will be able to seize it."
If you are confident, just take us to do it together. Once it is done, it will be a century-old foundation. From now on, the colorful bills will continue. If nothing else, make a lot of money by selling goods, pour foreign exchange and make another hand. If in the future, we will
If you charge some protection fees, you can get a third hand. How much income will this bring?"
Then Dayong came up with specific plans.
"But third brother, there are only about eighty stalls in this whole market, and our brothers together only occupy six. Isn't this a bit miserable? I'm not telling you. Just your brother named Ning
, the appearance of eating alone is really ugly. Since we started selling clothes, he has only been here a few times. On weekdays, he always batches goods for us. It is our buddy who is eating together, and he is sitting in the room drinking tea.
Make a fortune. Now that the market is about to open, he took away thirty stalls in one pot. Do you think this is fair?"
Finally, the pillars confuse people's hearts.
"Third brother, the brothers actually have only one idea. Can you have a good talk with the man named Ning and see if we can share the ten stalls of our brothers. Now that we have so many people, as long as these stalls are in our hands,
Here, your income can be doubled immediately. Third brother, don’t blame us brothers for being unjust. The key is that the brothers have to collect money. Now it is difficult to move forward without money. To be honest, there are not many opportunities in this society waiting for us.
There are many people to fish for, so courage is the key, we have to seize this rare opportunity. As long as you do this for the brothers, everyone will be grateful to you, and you will have the final say in the Xiushui market from now on. We
Brother, I promise to hit you wherever you point me, and I won’t take any of the lakes..."
The words of these guys really shocked Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao.
They really didn't expect that these people would become so greedy after not seeing each other for a year.
None of them have forgotten how they started their business in the first place, and how grateful they were to the way Ning Weimin showed them how to make a fortune.
Luo Guangliang was especially unhappy because it was obvious that these brothers were plotting against him.
The words are all very nice, but in reality no one really cares about friendship, they all want to use him as a gun.
He is just a straightforward person, not stupid.
Why did I enter Chadian in the first place? The lesson I will never forget.
With such experience, it would be incredible for him to be fooled like this.
So he bluntly refused.
"I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. I can't agree to any of your requests. Because firstly, you guys are obviously not taking the right path now. You are still thinking about bullying and dominating the market. This purge
It has only been a few months since the public security boom has passed, and you have all forgotten how miserable those who were so prosperous on the streets in the first few years ended up."
"What kind of society is it now? A society ruled by law. Doesn't it mean that you can't make money by following the right path? Why do you have to follow the evil path? To put it bluntly, don't break it. It's a good time to have fun. We all wear shoes now and be practical.
Isn't life better than anything else? How about going barefoot? Do you have to risk your life for a few dollars?"
"Secondly, I think there will never be fairness in this world. Once fairness is involved, many things will become careless and conflicts will arise. I advise you all to think about it carefully. It is really true."
Is it fair? Are most disputes caused by the pursuit of so-called 'fairness'? To be honest, in my opinion, 'unfairness' is actually the basis for harmonious work."
"To put it aside, we are all masters who have been in the circle. If we just use the circle as a reference, it would be an unfair place. There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, and a huge difference between strength and weakness. Because of this,
Many problems have been fundamentally solved. In the insect world, those that eat vegetarian food are called pests, and those that kill animals are called beneficial insects. The definitions of right and wrong have their own applicable positions. The three, six, and nine in the circle, from different perspectives, the answer
It’s also different.”
"But for bugs, this is the natural ecology, an unavoidable living environment. For humans, no matter what level they are, it is just a restoration of life. That is, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles to eat shit.
.Don’t blame society for being unfair. At least before blaming, you should pat yourself on the head and ask yourself if you have such qualifications? Don’t just look at others with great success and be jealous. If others can do this, they will naturally have support and support.
reason."
"As for the last thing, I would like to emphasize one more thing. You all should know how I, Luo San'er, am. I am not afraid of those who are arrogant, nor bully those who are soft. I treat my brothers equally. If you are going to run into trouble, there will be no one who can help me.
Hu, I promise to give you my full help. Why? Just because I am a decent person, I have always regarded you as my brothers. However, Ning Weimin is even more special to me. He is different from you. He is not only my invention.
Xiao, is my neighbor and even more my benefactor."
"Do you understand? From now on in Xiushui Market, I hope that all of you can get rich. Everyone has his own ambitions. Even if we can't get together, I still hope that we can look after each other and take care of each other as we did in the past. However,
There is one thing, let me start by telling the ugly story. No one should make any mistakes in Ning Weimin's thirty stalls, they deserve it. Everyone knows something, don't deliberately look for trouble. We can all be good.
If not, if anyone jumps out or makes a secret, don't blame me for being cunning and not recognizing my brothers."
Of course, no one had expected Luo Guangliang's disrespectful and forceful reply.
Not to mention Huzi, Laosi, Zhuzhu, and Dayong all felt aggrieved when they heard this, and their younger and more energetic brothers felt even more dissatisfied.
It stands to reason that most young people have the temperament of a young person and do not understand the importance of things.
What's more, he doesn't like Luo Guangliang's dirty clothes.
There must be someone who loses his temper and gets up and yells, so conflicts are inevitable.
But the blame lies here.
I wonder if Luo Guangliang's reasoning is so strong that people can't find fault with it and can only be convinced.
A tiger is a tiger, Luo Guangliang can scare people with just one glare.
Because of the shocking momentum, no one dared to retaliate or even express dissatisfaction.
So the final result is that this meal cannot be eaten at all, and it ends hastily.
In the end, it was Luo Guangliang who settled the bill for these two tables, which was one hundred and forty-eight yuan.
He doesn't care about this little money, especially if he can't be picked on for this kind of thing and end up with a reputation of scolding people for taking advantage of him.
On the other hand, the only thing he really cares about is what Xiao Tao will think.
"Xiao Tao, what do you think about this matter today? Do you have any ideas?"
"Third brother, what do you mean by this? They are them, and I am me."
"How should I put it? I feel that after this meeting, the opinions of many buddies have changed. Looking at the five or six people in each group, I know that the world has really changed. Today's solar terms,
It’s not even the slightest bit different from before. People are changing, sentiments are softening, and people are becoming more and more practical.”
Xiao Tao's reaction was very quick, "Wake up, the RMB is easy to use. Now these grandsons are not to be taken care of. The righteous ones are all eaten by fucking dogs. They all recognize money but not people."
Luo Guangliang sighed, "Yeah, no one can escape its temptation. Just say that this year, your help has delayed your own business. You only get a thousand yuan every month, and it's the Chinese New Year. Only extra money
I gave you two thousand. If you say anything, you won’t feel any loss. Do you have any complaints?”
Seeing Luo Guangliang's sincere look, Xiao Tao was heartbroken.
"Third brother, to be honest, the financial accounts are obvious. It's definitely not worthwhile for me to just calculate the financial accounts this year, especially when I see others making big money just like printing money. I can't help but have some ideas occasionally. But on the other hand,
On the other hand, I have also gained a lot. Manager Ning’s calculations are really top-notch. Working for him is a great learning and experience.”
"Thanks to him, I took a plane and traveled all over Shanghai, Shanghai and Huacheng. We also ate and stayed in such high-end restaurants and hotels. The key is to see how real big bosses do things.
Yes, I can learn a lot from it. I can’t tell you the specifics, but I feel that when I go back to do business, my thoughts will definitely be different from those before. Now, I can actually understand what you said, and I don’t like it either.
Some of them are young. So I am very lucky to be able to work with you for this year. Even if I spend money to buy knowledge, it is worth it."
"What's more, in my eyes, you are also an upright person. Who among the people around me can have such arrogance and courage as you? Over the years, following you, I have changed from a naive Hundru
My son has become a man who can support himself and support his family in Hukou. I will never forget this feeling in my life."
"Third brother, let me put it this way. You also know that I, Xiao Tao, was actually quite arrogant in the past. There are not many people who really admire me, but you are one of them, and so is Manager Ning. If I can follow you, I will
I have changed my way of living. I just feel at ease and grateful. A person knows how to repay kindness. I, Xiao Tao, am able to live like this because of you, so I should work for nothing."
Glad.
Luo Guangliang patted Xiao Tao's shoulder affectionately and handed him a cigarette.
Finally, I felt that the pre-holiday drink was not too depressing.
