In 1996, the lunar month had just entered the twelfth lunar month, and the Spring Festival was less than a month away.

In Northeast H City, snowflakes the size of fingertips fall leisurely from the sky, and the city is full of middle-aged atmosphere. The vendors braved the severe cold and stood under the light bulb next to the cart, with their hands in their sleeves and stamping their feet.

He yelled: "Couplet, the God of Wealth, the word Dafu, the last two bundles, take the money away!"

Ganshui Road, inside Fuyuan Hotel.

Fatty Dai, Wei Ran, and Duan Tian were sitting at the window, smoking and chatting playfully.

"Haha, Lao Dai, is your wife pregnant with Nezha? When will she give birth?"

Duan Tian was wearing a white turtleneck cashmere sweater. On the table on his right was an Ericsson GH398 mobile phone. He asked Fatty Dai with a smile.

In this era, when Big Brother has not yet been fully popularized, Duan Tian can carry a small Ericsson. It can be seen that the Fatty Dai gang has been on the rise in the past few years, and has unknowingly become a gangster.

Tall, rich and handsome.

"It's fast, it's fast!!"

Every time Fatty Dai is asked about his wife and the upcoming child, he always has a reserved smile on his chubby face, and his small eyes always have an affectionate look that makes men can't help but protect their buttocks.

"You should work harder! When nothing happens, urge your wife more at night! She had a baby before the year!"

Wei Ran also interjected in a low voice.

"Fuck you! It's more than nine months old, and the doctor won't let you push me at night!"

Fatty Dai laughed and cursed.

"Ha ha!"

Duan Tian and Wei Ran suddenly smiled.

While talking, the door of the private room was pushed open, and two people walked in. The leader was in his forties, bald, and thin, but he was wearing a loose polyester suit with a maroon knitted sweater underneath.

There is also a black briefcase, I don't know if it is made of leather or leather.

This person's name is Liu Tuzi, the director of a firecracker factory.

"Mr. Dai!"

After Liu Baldy entered the room, he smiled and nodded towards Fatty Dai.

"Haha, hello, Mr. Liu! Sit down, sit down!"

Fatty Dai didn't stand up, he put his hands in his hands and responded casually.

"Oh, I'm talking about Mr. Liu! The more money you have, the more money you have, but the less and less hair you have?! I see you don't need to carry a flashlight when you go out now! It's so damn bright, it dazzles your eyes, haha!

"

Duan Tian stood up and enthusiastically pulled Liu Bald Zi over, joking with him while dragging him to sit next to Fatty Dai.

"What do you know? This means that a noble person can't stand up to his father! Isn't that right? Mr. Liu?"

Fatty Dai crossed his legs and joked in a calm tone.

"I'm not a noble person, at most I'm a small businessman! If I have troubles, I have to find a capable person like Mr. Dai to help me!"

Liu Baldzi exchanged greetings, and then shouted to the door: "Waiter, serve the food!"

Ten minutes later, a table of dishes was placed, everyone exchanged a few token greetings, and then got down to business.

"Mr. Dai, Duan Tian'er has told you everything about me, right?"

Baldy Liu's face turned red, he turned to look at Fatty Dai, and then asked tentatively.

"kindness!"

Fatty Dai smoked a cigarette and nodded slightly.

"Mr. Dai, my factory has been busy for a year, and I'm just waiting for the New Year for more than a month to start cooking! You have to help me no matter what!"

Liu Tuzi added.

"kindness!"

Fatty Dai nodded again expressionlessly, but still didn't answer.

"Mr. Dai! I, Mr. Liu Tuzi, always build relationships first and then do things later!"

Liu Baldzi paused for a moment when he said this, then opened his black briefcase, took out two cowhide envelopes containing money, and placed them on the table. Then he patted the money with his right hand and whispered to Fatty Dai: "Mr. Dai

, the success or failure of the firecracker thing! It’s not about a meal! From now on, as long as you have something to find me, and as long as I can handle it, then I will have hundreds of miles of horsepower and an attitude of running a thousand miles for you.

!Do you think it’s okay?”

"hehe!"

Fatty Dai scratched his nose and smiled, lowered his head and glanced at the cowhide envelope, then casually picked up Duan Tian's Ericsson phone, and asked Duan Tian like a casual chat, "How much does this phone cost?"

"...I forgot, it was a gift from a friend for his birthday!"

Duan Tian replied casually.

"This friend of yours is really rich, so this game won't be cheap!"

Fatty Dai smiled.

"Brother, what age is this? The stove pits in rural areas have all been replaced by gas tanks! How much favor can you get with just a phone call?"

Wei Ran curled his lips and interjected, then smiled at Baldy Liu and asked: "Mr. Liu, when are you going to get married for the second time? If you have such an idea, tell me in advance! When the time comes, I will give you 20,000 yuan! Haha!

!”

After hearing Wei Ran's words, Liu Baldy's cheeks flushed, and he touched the 20,000 yuan in the cowhide envelope with his right hand, and then added: "Mr. Dai, this is it! You sell the firecrackers first, and how much you sell later, come over and calculate the accounts with us.

!I’ll give you a share of 30% of the profit, do you think that’s okay?”

"Gudong!"

When Fatty Dai heard this, he picked up the wine glass, drank the last sip of white wine in the glass, and then smacked his lips and said, "I'll give it a try!"

After saying that, Fatty Dai picked up his coat and put it on his hand.

"Are you leaving?"

Liu Baldzi stood up and asked.

"I have something else to do, you can eat first!" Fatty Dai nodded.

"Take this!"

Liu Baldy picked up the cowhide envelope containing twenty thousand yuan and was about to stuff it into Fatty Dai's pocket.

"Ha ha!"

Fatty Dai smiled, stretched out his hand to block it, then patted Baldy Liu on the shoulder, and said simply: "Old Liu! We have only been in contact for a short time, so you may not know much about my character, Fatty Dai! I am a person who is willing to make friends.

Countless friends make countless money! If I take 20,000 yuan, then if I wear the word "fatty", it will be worth 20,000 yuan! People, if you have to set a price for yourself, then it will be worthless! Yes!

Bar?"

"Yep!"

Liu Baldzi smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"You guys drink! Regarding the firecrackers, Xiaotian will take care of it! If there are obstacles, he will call me!"

Fatty Dai said something, turned around and left.

...

a week later.

Wei Ran, Duan Tian, ​​and Zhang Weimin gathered together a group of people who worked at the farmer's market and ate with their friends from the night market. Then they formed a partnership and directly circulated Liu Bald's firecrackers to at least 40% of the city's markets.

.

At the same time, Fatty Dai found a few friends who were leaders in corporate units and obtained big "group buying" orders for Liu Baldy one after another in the form of new year purchases.

With a 30% share, and with Fatty Dai’s energy and connections, the benefits are getting bigger and bigger.

The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

In the farmer's market on Daowai North Street.

Firecrackers and fireworks from two or three-wheeled vehicles were pulled in, and a burly man with a shaved head jumped out of the vehicle. Then he asked the stall owner: "Guo Sanzi, what the hell do you mean?! You want the goods.

I have already left the factory. If you say you don’t want it, then you don’t want it. Why are you playing with me?”

"Old Six! I told you, I took all the goods. It was delivered by Fatty Dai! What can I do? Do I dare not to sell it? Besides, the price he gave is not expensive, compared to

Yours is cheaper!"

The stall owner explained helplessly.

"You're such a fucking grown man, why are you talking like you're farting?! Whose goods do you accept, what does it have to do with me? I'm just asking you, did you go to the factory to order my goods in person?"

Lao Liu was holding a car repair pallet and shouted angrily.

"Old Six! I'm just a firecracker seller! Tell me, why are you doing so hard for me? If you have the courage to throw a firecracker at me, then why don't you talk to Fatty Dai?! You will kill me today, others

Aren’t you still selling Fatty Dai products?”
