Chapter 704 The difference between the old and the new
Seeing that Old Xian was silent, Xiaoer thought for a moment and continued: "Xian, I know that Nan Nan and Gao Yu are friends, but to put it bluntly, how many profit factors are there in this "friendship", I don't tell you either. Understand, I can come to you, so I won’t hide it from you. Lao He’s brother-in-law has a son who has a close relationship with me. Our relationship started from playing together since we were young. We have been in contact for more than ten years. I can To this day, he has given me a lot of help. Besides, Li Ka-shing didn’t say that eggs cannot be put in one basket. Nannan and Gao Yu are good friends, but this does not prevent him from making friends with us, right? "
Xiaoer's words revealed a lot of information, but they mainly told us that he was not just a gangster. Like us, he also had background connections. The Lao He he was referring to must be He Leilei's father, because he was the powerful one in the city. The leader is named He.
When Lao Xian heard this, he had already thought about it. He took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Nan Nan once said something to me, and I have always agreed with it."
"What are you talking about?"
Xiaoer asked.
"He said that if a person associates with two hostile circles at the same time, the most correct thing to do is... after careful consideration, he should embrace one of the circles from beginning to end. If he is undecided, the final result will be who I don’t even consider you a friend." The old immortal said calmly.
"...Haha." Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly.
"We have always had a good relationship with Gao Yu. Although we have not asked directly whether there is a fight between the city leaders, we have heard about it. Have you heard about it? There were rumors that Nan Nan had a fight with Lao He's girl before. As for the scandal, later, because Nan Nan and Gao Yu made friends, the two broke up quite sadly... Haha." The second half of Lao Xian's words was pure nonsense, but he clearly expressed his attitude.
"Haha, you've said that, so I won't advise you. However, what's going on above is a problem above, but our friendship must remain unchanged." Xiao'er paused for a moment, then picked up the wine glass.
"The friendship remains unchanged, that's no problem, but next time we go to Haiyang, you have to tell this buddy that he is Xiaoer's brother in advance, otherwise there will be a misunderstanding, which will be very embarrassing." Lao Xian picked up the wine glass and laughed. I looked at the whole collection, clicked on it, and then I tilted my head and fucked.
"Did you hear that? Next time, please remember better." Xiaoer also drank and scolded Daquan.
"I still have something to do. Let's call later. Let's go, Benzi."
Lao Xian stood up with the phone in hand, greeted Xiao'er and others, turned around and left. After Xiao'er walked a few steps, he returned to the dining table again.
"Yuanyang, what do you mean, someone who wears the same pants as Gao Yu can possibly make friends with you?" Xue Yu lit a cigarette and curled her lips in reply.
"Haha, it's not a bad thing to have a meal and meet each other. You can go back and talk to Yangyang. Don't worry, he always finds trouble with Yangyang. We are in good condition now. Let's seize the time to get some money." Xiaoer leaned on the chair. On his back, he drank some water and said calmly.
"Brother, how do I fix my car?"
Daquan asked tentatively.
"You have to spend money to redeem the trouble you caused." Xue Yu replied firmly.
"No, Brother Yu, isn't that the ocean you and Brother Yuanyang asked me to go to? What about now..." Daquan opened his mouth to explain.
"Are you fucking done yet?" Xue Yu suddenly glared and scolded him in time.
"I..." Daquan felt extremely aggrieved.
"Stop arguing, I'll give you one hundred thousand later, and you can figure out the rest by yourself."
Xiao'er seemed to have not heard the conversation between the two, frowned and scolded, ending the topic directly.
As society progresses and gangsters change from generation to generation, the chain of interests between the old gangs and the new gangs has also undergone qualitative changes.
Take Haiyang as an example. When our team first came together, many people did not do this for money, except Li Shuishui and I.
Some people may have a bastard complex in their hearts and like this kind of life. Once they enter, they find that they are stuck in the mud and it is too late to quit.
And there are still some people who got into this industry by accident and went further and further from there.
There are also a very small number of people who do it for the friendship between friends. They originally didn’t want to hang out in this circle, but they got hot-headed and temporarily helped their friends with a few things. In the end, they ended up running away or getting involved. After I came back, I realized that I had no choice but to do this.
In a group like ours, when the interests satisfy basic life, or are higher than basic life, what everyone values more is friends, the circle, and the people around them who hang out together.
Of course there are exceptions, and this is not absolute.
But Xiao'er's gang is different. They gather together for the purpose of profit, and money is the first priority. If you look at Xiao'er's handling of Daquan, you will find that the way he treats the people below is more... indifferent,.
Daquan owed Haiyang 168,000 yuan, and Xiao'er reimbursed him 100,000 yuan. Do you think there is any difference between 100,000 yuan and 168,000 yuan for Xiao'er? But why didn't he give him all the money at once? .
This is telling the people below that you can handle the matter for me, and we can say anything. But if you don’t understand the matter, I can take care of you, or I can ignore you...
This is the basic principle of today's gangsters. Everything is based on interests, and people are just tools to serve interests.
If it were me, or Lao Xian, Bai Tao, or even Tan Zhongshu and others, I would never do this. Even if the eldest brother has no money, if his subordinates are in trouble, he will grit his teeth and help him get through. .
This is the difference between the new and the old, but it is not clear which one is better, so I will leave it to the people to comment.
…
Five days later, Lao Xiang, Xiao You, and I left Beijing and traveled to a place in Hangzhou. We all had a great time, but Lao Xiang suddenly said that he didn’t want to leave and wanted to rent a house here.
I was very surprised, so I kept asking. He didn’t say anything at first, but later he couldn’t stand Ma Xiaoyou and I’s ink, and hesitantly said: “Uh… your aunt’s son… works in Hangzhou, and her ex-partner Time has also moved here..."
"...Which aunt?" After hearing this, I suddenly became confused and asked in a daze, with tears dripping from the corners of my mouth.
"Who else... is the one I met in prison." Lao Xiang said with a slight blush.
"...Holy shit." I slapped my forehead and was speechless.
"Your dad really has something serious, really." Ma Xiaoyou gave me a thumbs up.
"Fuck you, your dad has serious business." I suddenly felt as if a cat's tail had been stepped on, and I yelled angrily.
"...I'm not idle even in prison. Isn't this something serious? What is it?" Ma Xiaoyou asked with a sideways glance.
"……."
I was stunned in place, not knowing how to refute.
