"Brother, the brothers went to inquire about the news that the Third Master heard yesterday. It turns out that there is indeed such a place and a group of people are running a fishing business.
The business of that shop is said to be very prosperous. There are already hundreds of ships coming in every day to stay and buy ice there, and it has only been open for ten and a half days..."
Balabala told the story that his subordinates told him exactly what he had heard about.
"Second brother, do you think you can win it?"
After listening to the burly man sitting in the main seat, he looked to one side and asked another equally burly man.
The burly man, who looked somewhat similar, did not reply directly, but continued to understand the situation from the reporting subordinate.
"How is the transportation there? I'm talking about waterways, are there many land routes? Is it accessible in all directions?"
"...This..." The subordinate thought for a moment and replied: "We just took a look at it from a distance, but it should be the same. There seem to be many wider waterways nearby. There is still plenty of water now, at least a dozen.
.As for the land route? I don’t have to pay attention to this, but large vehicles can travel on those rivers and dams.”
The strong man nodded, turned his head, and said to the man in charge: "Brother, I think we should change the place. Go and take it down and use it as a place for us to live in peace in the future."
The big man in charge nodded, then looked at some other people and asked them what they thought. Most people were silent and did not express their opinions. There were also some who agreed and those who opposed.
"I think we should stay here in Taihu Lake. Such a large lake area is enough for us to hide as much as we want. No matter how convenient the communication there is, can it be better than such a large lake area?"
Finally, a thin, dark man sitting in the lower seat next to an empty seat opposite the burly man took the lead in speaking out against it.
"Lao Wu, how can I not know how good Taihu is? But is there a place for us to stand here? The reason for the disaster is that various forces that have been trapped here during this period took the opportunity to recruit people and expand their power.
And we can't get along with the native gangs, and the guest gangs don't belong to the three factions of Haizhou, Henan, and Pudong. As for other smaller guest gangs, they are basically vassals of these three factions.
Do you want to be ordered around and used as cannon fodder? If you don't want to, there are only two ways, either to stay and be cleaned up and annexed by others, or to leave and find a new way out.
Moreover, during this period, there are still a large number of people running around here to rob and steal. Considering the increase in power of those companies, they will attract officers and soldiers sooner or later.
Do you know the news that the Fourth Brother sent back? The big players in the surrounding area, as well as the shipowners and captains who have some spare money, are all installing large shotguns on the ships. It is said that these are beginning to be equipped.
It is said that that thing can be shot down with one shot. The iron bullets and iron sand can directly wipe out the people in a small boat. It can also kill everyone in a big ship with one shot. We can't stand it.
Isn't it just to arrange for the third and fourth sons to go out to find a way out and find other livelihoods? It's not easy for us to come here all the way. There is no need to be here.
The situation over there is not as good as here, but it allows us to avoid a lot of things, and it can be considered a job. The most important thing is that the business has just started and has not been taken over by any big force yet.
But the business has been booming in a short period of time, which shows that the business is quite reliable. If we have a head start, if we don’t hurry up, if others target us and take it down, we won’t have any share!”
"Are you sure that it's not some powerful business?"
After listening to this analysis and explanation, Lao Wu asked. Although he did not agree, his tone had obviously relaxed.
"There must be something about the background. After all, the business was launched so quickly, but it won't be very big. Although the business is booming, the big powers still look down on such a small business.
We have more than a hundred people and dozens of guns, which is enough to win. Even if the opponent's background is not small, at most they will give us some benefits depending on the situation. They will not fight us head-on for these benefits. We
But he’s not easy to deal with either.”
At the end of the sentence, a stern look appeared on the face of the strong man, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. It was obvious that these people were not young people.
Even though he was talking about this, the thin black man was still a little hesitant, and then asked: "The business has just started, if we just occupy the place, will we scare away those people who run boats to deliver fish?"
"There will be some temporary impact, but it's not enough to scare people away. The business is so prosperous. Without us, those fish bullies, boat gangs and the like would also have their own ideas. We are powerful enough, so we can better protect their business.
Of course, the specifics also depend on how we do it, how we appease people, and how we let them know this, but the most important thing is not to reach out randomly and break business rules.
After taking over the place, we will change our appearance. We will do as little or even nothing as possible from the robbery business, and focus on running the business first."
After listening, the thin black man thought about it again and asked: "Last question, second brother, can the business support so many of us?"
"...It's difficult..." The strong man shook his head and explained: "At least until the business gets bigger, we can't support more than a hundred people like us, but what we need now is a new place to stay, a place where we can gain a firm foothold.
place.
And although we can’t make a living by selling ice in an inn, we can do something else. The place is well connected and has convenient connections, let alone blocking the way to collect money! We can still do it by letting some people come to the store to eat, drink, and stay for one night.
.
There are also things like selling goods to the surrounding areas, or collecting goods from the surrounding countryside and selling them. We can also get involved with these disciples depending on the situation. There is a lot of business here. If we think of more ideas, we will not starve to death.
The most important thing is that running around robbing and stealing is not a problem. We need to occupy a piece of land. With the land, at least we can sit on the ground and collect money. With stable income, we have a foundation, not just wandering bandits.
thief."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After listening to this, the thin black man finally nodded in agreement. Others also expressed their agreement. Of course, it is not the thin black man who is the master of these people, but these
The words were all told to them at the same time, otherwise why would the strong man waste so much time talking?
"...Okay...then let's take it...the second dick. When do you think we can do it?"
Seeing this, the man in charge nodded and spoke to finalize the matter. Then he turned his head and asked the strong man.
"...Hmm..." The second child pondered for a moment, then replied: "The sooner the better, it is best to start within the next day or two, without delay, so as not to be overtaken by others. Even if they can come over again, but
These are troublesome if you want to appease people’s hearts.”
"If something changes later, go get ready immediately. We'll leave today. It's said that Jin Asan got a few of those shotguns from somewhere. He's been secretly searching for our whereabouts these past few days. I'm afraid something might happen if we leave too late."
"...Understood..." Everyone responded, and the second child stood up and bowed his hand to the boss, saying: "Brother, then I will arrange for someone to inform the third and fourth children, and then I will take someone to go ahead and explore the situation. We will be there then.
Meet near there.”
The eldest brother nodded, and the second brother bowed his hands, then turned around and passed by a few people, bent down and got out of the low door. When he raised his head, he was surrounded by the sparkling water.
This place turned out to be Caogang, a natural bay in a lake area. Unfortunately, the water level dropped and Caogang had exposed the bottom of the lake. They could only live in a boat at the mouth of the bay, and under his feet was a large wooden boat.
The second brother walked to the bow of the boat, jumped lightly, and jumped to another boat. He called some people to come out, got down to the boat, and left on several boats. After walking for a while, they divided into three groups and went their separate ways.
different directions.
…
"...Captain Li..."
A young man wearing a police uniform, but looking a bit frivolous, walked into a well-decorated private room and happily offered his hand to the person in the first seat.
"...Captain Su...come on, come on...take your seat quickly..."
The leader was also a man of similar age. He didn't take it seriously when he saw this, but instead sang along.
"Calling captain is a slap in the face! I'm just a little vice-captain now."
The man who was called Captain Su responded verbally and took his seat directly without being polite, but his face looked a little depressed.
"Isn't this an opportunity for you? Otherwise, why would you set up this game for me?"
Captain Li responded. There were several other people at the same table, all men of the same age wearing police uniforms. If Zhang Guangjia were here, most of them would be able to recognize him at a glance.
"Are you going to do something?"
Hearing this, Captain Su was also a little curious. As soon as everyone had arranged their positions, he couldn't wait to call everyone over. It would definitely not be as simple as eating and drinking together.
"I got news that Jin Asan is recruiting people to come to our side. This is a good opportunity for us."
"Jin Asan? I heard that he has two to three thousand people now! If we want to find water bandits to take credit, we shouldn't go to him, right?"
"You're bluffing, most of Jin Asan's men are just people who sneak around and rob, they are just a bunch of chickens and dogs. The reason why he is so powerful is that his people are scattered all over the place, making it difficult to encircle and suppress him.
Now that they have come together, this is our opportunity, and he claims to have two to three thousand people, but he can only summon a few hundred.
What’s more, it’s not for you to do it alone, but for all of us to join forces and give them a tough blow.”
"Where is Jin Asan going to rob this time?"
After Captain Su heard this, he was still a little discouraged, but he didn't say it explicitly and turned around to ask for other information.
Of course, he also wanted to know who the other party wanted to rob when they gathered hundreds of people. It was definitely not an ordinary target. He was either rich or powerful, and most likely he was rich and powerful.
If it's worth it, that is, if they take this action and can get enough benefits from the target, he will decide whether to take the risk.
His father is the chief, and he is very clear about the moral character of the policemen below. The other policemen are just chickens and dogs, and they are not much better.
So! If there are not enough benefits, and it is just for the little credit, he feels there is no need to join in the fun. Even if the words are ridiculous, the other party must have a few brushes to be able to run rampant for so long.
