Chapter 44: Several families are happy and some are sad
Since the difference between the superior and the inferior in this battle has been very clear, and there is a highly respected "old ghost" mediating in it, Hong Yanwu and the "Bacha" side returned to the negotiating table this time, and the progress was quite smooth.
Without much effort, they reached a solution acceptable to both parties.
Its specific contents mainly include three items.
First of all, "Bacha", "Little Landlord" and "Gongzi" agreed to exchange the ownership of the entire No. 40 line for a price of 2,400 yuan. They took a thousand yuan with them.
The remaining 1,400 yuan will be paid on-site, and the remaining 1,400 yuan will be paid after ten days.
On the surface, this seems to be quite different from Hong Yanwu's initial economic demands, but he actually understands that "players" do not pay attention to "money", and no matter how big the "hands" are, they don't have much cash in their hands.
Besides, during this period of time, "Bacha" and the others not only have no income, but their injured subordinates also have to pay for the aftermath. What's more, there is also a sum of money to hire a middleman and a helper. So.
Said, this is basically the amount that the "eight-pointed" people can bear by gritting their back molars. I'm afraid that no matter how hard they squeeze, there won't be much profit.
In this case, Hong Yanwu agreed quite rationally and did not ask for more unrealistically.
Secondly, "Big Lao Fart" and "Lao Fu Shou" also paid two hundred yuan each at the scene, even though they were apologizing for pulling out a gun on Hong Yanwu today.
This point, to say the least, was entirely made by "Old Ghost". His purpose was to ask "Big Old Fart" and "Old Man" to pay part of the expenses to cover part of Hong Yanwu's request for money for "Bacha" and the others.
He also wanted to use the favor they owed him to make them completely give up their plans for revenge in the future.
Speaking of which, this is really not something that "old ghosts" are just worrying about. The main thing is that these masters have guns in their hands. If they really want to do it again, big trouble will happen. Don't forget, once firearms are involved,
It was always a major case in the Public Security Bureau. He only considered this for the overall peace of the "player" circle in Nancheng.
In this regard, neither Hong Yanwu nor the frightened "Big Old Fart" and "Lao Fang" had any objections. They all expressed their willingness to reconcile and not to find fault with each other again.
As for the last one, that is the punishment for Hong Yanwu's "promoting" behavior.
"Old Ghost" is a person who strives for fairness in his affairs. He knows that no one in the world can take advantage of everything. So since the "Bashi" side has paid a huge price in terms of money, then for Hong Yanwu
If he breaks the rules, he must not be able to cover it up, so that he can give an explanation to everyone.
Originally, according to the rules, the punishment of "three swords and six holes" should be given in public. The purpose was to serve as a warning to other people in the circle who did not respect the rules. But what surprised everyone was that at this point, Hong Yanwu
He also proposed another solution. He actually expressed his willingness to "wash his hands in a golden basin" with Chen Liquan and completely disband Shantou and withdraw from the world, instead of the "three swords and six holes" punishment.
To be honest, everyone here is full of treacherous and cunning old people, but no one really thinks that Hong Yanwu is deeply repentant and wants to set an example for the juniors. Everyone knows that this kid is just trying to escape physical punishment.
It's hard to live a comfortable life with the money I collected.
But the important thing is that on the one hand, the lingering power of Hong Yanwu holding a detonator to fill the stove has been deeply engraved in the minds of these people. Everyone knows that this is a bastard who cannot be messed with. If he is forced to force him, he will be resented.
I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future
On the other hand, everyone knows that if Hong Yanwu takes this step, it means that in the future, he will no longer be able to have any disputes with others over issues of interest such as pickpocketing territory and "robbing the Buddha."
In contrast, insisting on inflicting severe punishment will only increase the hatred between each other, harming others and not benefiting oneself. But if there is less such a bastard who is not afraid of death as an opponent, then for everyone, it is equivalent to missing someone at any time.
A time bomb that explodes. How should we choose? Why should we hesitate?
Therefore, most people's reaction to this matter was secretly relieved. No one took it seriously, and they all nodded in agreement. Even "Bashi" himself felt that the "blood" produced today was a bit...
It means sending away the plague god, losing money and avoiding disaster. I feel a little better.
In short, this negotiation made Hong Yanwu's wish come true.
And the "Old Ghost", the middleman, was not in vain. He was able to successfully mediate such an earth-shattering "difficulty". Not only did he sell both parties a huge favor, his prestige and reputation naturally increased to a higher level.
Only the "Eight-Cha" side returned home in vain. Not only did they lose face, they also had to "bleed a lot", so they lost money and went to their grandma's house.
In this way, the tense and tumultuous night at "Jinghua Restaurant" finally ended in a peaceful way.
At eleven o'clock that night, in the snack bar of "Xinfeng Restaurant" opposite the Telegraph Building on Chang'an Street and next to the Capital Cinema, Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, "Xiaobaizi", "Hongye", "Naughty" and several of their children
Brothers, all sitting on two square tables put together, holding high their wine glasses, gathering together happily.
There was a full table in front of them, but it didn't have any delicacies, that is, "boiled peanuts", "tofu mixed with green onions", "mustard dumplings", "celery yuba", "cold cabbage heart", etc.
Ten plates of cold dishes for two portions, plus eight liters of beer and a bowl of wontons in front of each person.
This is not because Hong Yanwu is stingy and is just playing around with the 1,400 yuan in his pocket. In fact, it is mainly because these days restaurants generally close at eight or nine o'clock, and there are very few places where you can drink and eat at night.
If we count the restaurants one by one, in addition to the "Day and Night Restaurant" in Qianmen Building, the ones that are still open at night are the "Qinghai Restaurant" in Dongsi, a wonton shop in Xisi, and this "Xinfeng Restaurant"
.
And in comparison, the "Day and Night Restaurant" is located on the site of "Bacha", the "Qinghai Restaurant" only sells steamed buns and porridge at night, and the Wonton Shop in Xisi only has one window open, and you have to carry a
Eating and drinking outdoors. So no matter how you look at it, it is not as suitable as the "Xinfeng Restaurant" which is closer to Baiguang Road.
So it’s not nonsense at all. To have such a table at this time is actually a very rare and sumptuous banquet for a night owl who likes to spend the night and do some mischief.
After having a few drinks, according to the general rules, the following process will begin to enter the bragging stage.
But just when "Naughty" had just lit a cigarette for Hong Yanwu, and before he had time to compliment him, "Hongye" suddenly remembered a fatal thing.
He immediately became extremely anxious and shouted to Hong Yanwu in a suppressed voice.
"Wu, you still have that 'fire detonator' on you! Stop fucking with it and come out with me..."
But when Hong Yanwu heard this, not only did he smile nonchalantly, but he also reached into his arms and took out a bundle of "fire detonators". Then he waved it nonchalantly and threw it towards him.
"You want it? Here it is!"
This guy made "Hongye" look so angry that he couldn't even curse. He even felt that his hair was about to stand on end, and thought that his life might be sealed.
Because he knew that the component of the "fire detonator" was mercury fulminate. This kind of detonating explosive was extremely sensitive to flames, needle pricks and impacts. If you were not careful, it could cause an explosion.
Unexpectedly, when he hurriedly caught the thing, his nose was almost out of breath and crooked.
The amount of love is wrong, it’s fake!
"Fuck, what the hell is this!" "Hongye" swore angrily, pulled one out tightly, and pulled the paper reinforced cap. The "stuffing" inside was immediately exposed.
"You're so good, it's full of sand!"
Seeing the sad look on "Hongye's" face, Hong Yanwu burst into laughter on the spot.
"Hahaha! 'Hongye'? I dare you to miss me sometimes?"
"Hongye" was even more embarrassed now, and half-angry and half-irritated, he raised an army to question the crime.
"Hey, our brothers are here to help you out of kindness today, but I can't help but let your little brat act like a monkey! Do you believe I'm going to slap you?"
Hong Yanwu quickly comforted him, his tone was serious and respectful.
"Calm down, calm down! Brother, it's really my fault, don't be angry. But having said that, if it weren't for your cooperation, your professional knowledge and true reactions, how could we have such good results? To be honest with you,
In fact, I specially invited you here today just to ask you to help me cooperate without knowing it..."
"Hongye" suddenly realized.
"Good boy, I've been part of your plan since the beginning of the collaboration! From whom did you learn to be so cunning?"
Seeing "Red Ye"'s expression softening, Hong Yanwu began to feel poor again.
"Brother, do you still need to ask? I just learned from you. We also have a copy of Three Kingdoms and Rule the World. How do you think of the "Dangyang Bridge" I sang today?"
Unexpectedly, "Hongye" really cheered when she heard this.
"Hey, I have to say that this thing of yours has really been made with great effort. Just by looking at the appearance, the tube casing, and the reinforced cap, they are all right and can look real. One more thing, your kid's expression when he clicked on the detonator was absolutely perfect.
.If you ask me, you are so good at pretending, it would be a waste if you didn’t act. You are so tall, you are so tall!"
"You're too generous. I don't know the depth and I still need to practice."
Hong Yanwu spoke modestly and felt proud, but "Hongye" changed the subject and asked another question that left him scratching his head.
"Oh, but, you've never been in a mine, how do you know what a detonator looks like? Where have you seen this thing?"
Hong Yanwu rolled his eyes and began to smile evilly again.
"I said, brother, can you please let me have some confidence? The older girls have already boarded the sedan, so don't ask where the matchmaker is..."
The moon shines crookedly on Kyushu, making some families happy and others sad.
On the same night, at the same moment, on the second floor of the "Day and Night Canteen", the "Bacha" group was drinking. Each of them was in a low mood, and the high spirits and laughter of the past had all disappeared.
, today all of them turned into shriveled eggplants.
"Two thousand four! This is two thousand four! He is not afraid of stretching himself to death! He really dares to open his teeth!"
As soon as the "little landowner" swallowed a mouthful of bitter wine, he slapped the table in pain again.
"Bacha" lamented.
"Okay, I almost had someone take the blame just now. How much money can buy your life is not expensive. Besides, the matter is already here, what's the point of talking about it anymore!"
The "little landowner" was still angry and angry.
"Don't say that. You can swallow this breath. I really don't know how to swallow it. Together with this kid, he became a rich man. In the end, he became famous in one battle and escaped unscathed! What about us? Money
I didn't pay a penny less, and I almost had a falling out with 'Big Old Fart', 'Lao Bo Chou' and the others, and even lost my face. Damn it, how could something be so cheap!"
"Bacha" is still sighing.
"Then what can we do? We have already confessed in front of the 'old ghost', and if we go back on our words, we will go against the two families! If we say something unpleasant, we will make the 'old ghost' upset. You, I
, tie it together, can you lift the base of your arm?"
The "little landowner" was immediately silenced, and then lost all momentum.
"Oh! It's not that I'm talking about anything else. I'm just thinking about one thing right now. You say...can't he be a lie? If he is true..."
"Bacha" shook his head. He was deep enough in the city, and his words hit the point.
"'Red Boy' really played a big trick, and you don't have to regret it. I'm also telling you, as long as you soften up on the spot and don't dare to change the story, then we lose! Besides, you don't want to think about it either.
With this kid's crazy energy that he doesn't even care about the gunpoint, and his brain that can make the five of us spin around, if you mess with him again, will you still be okay? That's the truth
I think I have a long life!"
The "little landowner" was stunned for a moment and fell into a temporary silence. Then he woke up and muttered another sentence involuntarily.
"Red Boy, Red Boy, you are so capable! I can't hold it back, I'm convinced, I'm convinced..."
"Bacha" saw that "little landowner" seemed to have figured it out, so he comforted him from another perspective.
"Well, after all, it's a good thing. After all, this kid won't argue with us anymore. And it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Everyone has reincarnation. I believe in retribution."
But at this time, the "little landowner" was completely bald and had no ambition anymore.
"Okay, don't say anything. From tomorrow onwards, our brothers will work hard to collect money for others..."
