In the afternoon, the sunset glowed red for half the sky, giving the buildings in Weishi a golden edge.
After dinner, it was too early, so Yong said it would be better to go to the shop and open the door to do business for a while. If you can make more money from your own business, they returned to Jingtao Street. The street was bustling with people, and the business was no worse than during the day.
Zheng Xingzhong was in a good mood. The store was open late and he was about to close. Two people came outside the door, holding wine bottles in their hands, and staggered into the store. Yong hurriedly greeted him, and they leaned against the counter.
, wandering around. One of them patted the counter inexplicably, saying something unclear and had no idea what he was talking about. After they had enough trouble, they turned to the table, picked up the cup and drank.
Seeing that he was a drunk, Yong went over and said:
"It's closing time. Come back tomorrow if you want to buy anything."
"What's the big deal about opening a jewelry store? Do you think we have no money?" One of them said with a stiff tongue.
Yong had a bad temper and thought their words were harsh, so he walked out of the counter to kick them out. Zheng Xingzhong stopped him and said to the drunkard:
"Brother, it's been a busy day. Everyone is tired. Come over tomorrow and I'll treat you to tea."
"Who are you? Are you talking to me?" one of them said.
Yongsheng became angry and grabbed him and pushed him away. Unexpectedly, the guy punched Yong on the nose with his backhand, causing Yong's nose to bleed. Yongsheng raised his hand and threw the guy out of the door with a stick under his feet.
The guy fell to the ground and screamed. A group of people rushed over from outside. Zheng Xingzhong noticed that these guys were well prepared. He grabbed one of the guys inside, dragged him to the door, and kicked him out.
The two of them were at the door, one on the left and the other on the right, resisting the attack of a group of opponents. This group of people didn't know that Zheng Xingzhong and the others were capable. If they rushed up, they would either be knocked down or kicked out, and they would not get any advantage at all. They were on the outside
Howling and bluffing.
Someone called the police, and the police came and took them all to the police station without asking any questions. There were surveillance cameras everywhere on Jingtao Street, and the truth of the case was clear. The group didn't tell the difference, they just said they were drunk.
, and apologized face to face. The police reprimanded them, gave them fifty slaps each, and let them back.
Jingtao Street only deals in jewelry business. There are no food stalls or restaurants. Where did these drunkards come from? They still targeted Zheng Xingzhong and others to cause trouble. There must be a reason for everything. Zheng Xingzhong has no enemies and he will not get along with these ungrateful people.
When dealing with people, no one will come to deliberately cause trouble. There is only Xiong Zong. The price of Xiong Zang in the morning has not been determined. Could it be that Xiong Zong let people come to make trouble and force him to submit? Zheng Xingzhong did not want to think so. He murmured to himself
Says:
"Maybe it's a coincidence, we met a drunkard."
"What a coincidence. There is one person I have met. He is the first person to carry stones to Jingtao Street." Yong said angrily: "They are forcing us to buy goods. Ignore him, the more they force us, the harder we will get."
No, let’s see what they can do.”
Zheng Xingzhong was also angry. Now he had money and courage. No one wanted the product anyway, so he decided to wait for a day and let Xiong Zong worry. However, he was still uneasy and uneasy. He only had jade wool.
Once you get it, you will be safe.
The next morning, Zheng Xingzhong suppressed his anxiety and did not go to Yonghong Machinery Factory. He was not interested in anything else, and his mind was full of that piece of jade wool.
Erding came, alone. Yongpao asked him coldly:
"Your boss asked you to come?"
"No, I worked the night shift yesterday and have today off." Er Ding said, as if nothing happened.
Never talking to him again, Er Ding wandered around in front of the counter. Er Ding looked at the counter for a long time. When he came to the tea table, he took out a ring from his pocket and timidly asked Zheng Xingzhong:
"Boss, do you accept this product?"
Zheng Xingzhong took the ring and saw that it was green and of good quality. Zheng Xingzhong pinched the ring in his hand, but he didn't actually look at the ring. He was thinking that the piece of jade material was not available yet. Why not take this opportunity to help Er Ding?
In the future, a hidden line should be placed next to Xiong Zong. If there is any trouble with the jade wool, there should be someone who can report it. He asked:
"Where did this ring come from?"
"Gamblers who have lost too much money and are eager to recoup their losses will risk whatever they have in their hands. As long as they give money, their lives will be at risk," Er Ding said.
It seems that Er Ding is quite honest. This ring is worth at least five thousand. Zheng Xingzhong wanted to see how big Er Ding's appetite was. He said:
"Er Ding, what will you do if someone wants to redeem you again?"
"No, no, it has been promised for three days, and it has been several months. That guy may have lost. He just came to redeem. He should know that after it has been expired for so long, he can't redeem even five thousand." II
Ding explained to Zheng Xingzhong.
Zheng Xingzhong looked at Er Ding. He thought that no matter how hard he suffered, he could not compare with the suffering of his father in prison. He had suffered so much. He couldn't be angry because of what happened last night. A small intolerance would mess up a big plan. He should put the jade stone together today.
Get the wool in hand to prevent long nights and nightmares. People like Xiong Zong never keep their word. If something goes wrong, they will regret it.
Er Ding thought that Zheng Xingzhong was hesitant and worried that he would not accept the ring and look pitiful. He said:
"Boss Zheng, my brother Yichuan works in Guangdong. He hasn't received his wages for several months and has trouble eating. He has urged me many times, but I really have no choice. I'm begging you today. I'll give you as much as you want.
How much? Please help me."
Zheng Xingzhong suddenly woke up from his reverie. He stood up and walked to the counter. He solemnly said to Er Ding:
"Er Ding, this ring is worth 5,000. However, it has a price but no market now, so it is difficult to sell. I didn't want to accept it. Seeing that you are in a hurry, I will do you a small favor and give you 5,000. Within three years,
You can come over and redeem it at any time without adding interest."
Er Ding was so excited that he quickly came over and took Zheng Xingzhong's hands, shaking them up and down while muttering:
"Oh, I won't redeem it. I won't redeem it. Thank you so much."
Zheng Xingzhong paid Er Ding and asked Er Ding casually:
"Is Mr. Xiong still in Yonghong Machinery Factory now?"
Er Ding was startled and looked uncertain. He whispered:
"Boss Zheng, you must not let Xiong Zong know about this. If he finds out, he will beat me to death. They are not allowed to squeeze money in private. In fact, everyone is doing it secretly, as long as Mr. Xiong doesn't know about it."
"Why did I tell him about this? Don't worry, I won't tell him. I asked you if Mr. Xiong is at Yonghong Machinery Factory." Zheng Xingzhong comforted Erding.
"Here, I'll take you there right now." Er Ding felt relieved and said.
Zheng Xingzhong and Er Ding drove to the Yonghong Machinery Factory in the suburbs. On the way, Er Ding told Zheng Xingzhong the organizational structure of Xiong Zong's gang in detail. As long as Er Ding knew it, there was no way it could be leaked.
They arrived at the room on the second floor platform. Today, Xiong Zheng seemed to be in a bad mood. His face was gloomy and lifeless. When he saw Zheng Xingzhong coming, he still let him sit down.
Seeing that the short wall against the wall was empty, Zheng Xingzhong couldn't help but feel nervous. He hoped that Xiong Zheng was trying to whet his appetite and temporarily moved the piece of jade wool to another place. Or maybe the jade material was not here on weekdays and he could only look at the goods.
Or move it here during the transaction. Zheng Xingzhong hurriedly asked:
"Mr. Xiong, where is the goods?"
"Sold." Xiong Zong smiled reluctantly and said: "A big boss has come to the provincial capital. He offers one million. If you don't stumble, just pick it up and leave."
Buzzing, anxiety rushed to his head, and Zheng Xingzhong's heart was in a mess. How is this possible? There are no such stupid businessmen in the world. Jewelry is a large-scale transaction. Look at the goods, look for character reviews, comment on prices, etc., etc., don't talk about transactions.
It would take half a month. If you just grab the goods and leave, that's one million. Zheng Xingzhong now really hopes that Xiong Zeng is trying to whet his appetite and try to raise the price of the goods. He said:
"No, we agreed yesterday to make a deal today, but why are the goods gone?"
Xiong Zong spread his hands, smiled unnaturally, and said:
"You see the goods are gone. It's useless to say anything now. You can leave, okay?"
It seemed that Xiong Zong was not just trying to make him want to lose his appetite, but that the jade wool was really gone. Zheng Xingzhong didn’t believe it. Last night, Xiong Zong sent people to make trouble in the store, trying to buy and sell by force. How could the jade wool be gone today? Isn’t that right?
Possibly, this bear must have seen someone asking for goods and pressed down on it. He was ready to ask for a price. Zheng Xingzhong had no choice but to leave and wait for the situation to develop.
Returning to the shop, Zheng Xingzhong forced himself to calm down. This piece of jade wool was worth one hundred thousand or fifty thousand, not to mention one million, and he wouldn't be able to get rid of it. The goods couldn't be sold, and Xiong Zhen must be prepared to ask for a sky-high price.
It's time to use Er Ding. Let Yong call Er Ding and ask him to come over.
In the evening, Yong invited Er Ding to a small food stall on the outskirts of the city. This place was far away from Wei City, private and clean. Before the food was served, Zheng Xingzhong couldn't wait to ask Er Ding:
"Er Ding, Xiong Zong said that item was sold?"
"You can sell whatever you want. This morning, before dawn, someone came over and took the goods away. I heard that the visitor even slapped Mr. Xiong hard in the face. Mr. Xiong was also in a bad mood." Er Ding said.
.
"How come anyone dares to beat Mr. Xiong?" Zheng Xingzhong asked Erding.
"Mr. Xiong is not the real boss. I don't know who the real boss is. I heard that he dares to hit anyone. If he gets angry, he can kill Mr. Xiong." Er Ding said.
Zheng Xingzhong felt that this matter was not simple. Xiong Zheng was not the owner of the goods, so who was the owner? The anonymous person who came to pick up the goods. According to the tally, the goods were salable, at least there was a possibility of shipment, and the price was not satisfactory. This was completely negotiable.
It should be good news, how could he hit someone? It can be concluded that this piece of jade wool does not belong to Xiong Zang, nor does it belong to the anonymous person. This piece of jade wool is controversial, and there is a huge secret hidden between whether it is sold or not. He
ask:
"They came to pick up the goods. How many people came?"
"Two or three, maybe! I didn't see it either. Oh, by the way, I heard there were fungi." Er Ding replied thoughtfully.
"Who is Fungus?" Zheng Xingzhong asked.
"Junzi is older than us, and few people know his name. I only know that he is from Jingjiapuzi," Erding recalled.
Jingjiapuzi is a large village with many villagers. Jingjiapuzi is located on the east bank of the Jiya River Reservoir. On the east bank of the reservoir, there are steep cliffs. Jingjiapuzi is located on the top of the cliff and has a majestic scenery. On the west bank of the Jiya River Reservoir, it is
Jingtao Village, the two villages face each other across the reservoir, and chickens and dogs hear each other, so it is difficult to go back and forth. A trip, no matter whether you go south or north, takes a long time to go around. I don’t know why, Jingtao Town is more famous than the second village. Jingtao Town is more famous than the second village.
Tao Street also comes from this. Erding is from Jingtao Village, and of course he knows little about fungi. Zheng Xingzhong asked Erding:
"Who is the fungus following?"
The gangsters in society are very particular about using momentum to bluff people. They don't call it work, they just follow the momentum. When you ask where they work, you only need to ask the famous person, and you can follow the clues.
"He has been following Jia Zheng. He is the eldest son of our Wei City Public Security Bureau, and I have never seen him." Er Ding said.
Zheng Xingzhong couldn't help but take a breath. He knew that Jia Zheng was very arrogant. There was nothing he dared not do in Weishi. Jia Zheng's intervention made the already difficult business even more complicated.
Zheng Xingzhong did not believe that the jade wool belonged to Jia Zheng. If that was the case, the problem would be much easier. One was that he wanted a high price, and the other was to tell him that the jade wool was not valuable. In the provincial capital, there were many discerning people. At this point, Zheng Xingzhong couldn't help but
Snickering at myself for being naive. If it were Jia Zheng, the mystery of the jade wool could only be more complicated. At present, only by finding the fungi can we slowly figure out the clues.
The sun was shining brightly and the spring breeze was blowing gently. When crossing the mountain pass, there would be an evil wind from time to time, causing the leaves to sway from side to side.
Zheng Xingzhong drove to the provincial capital. At the junction where the national highway turned into the expressway, road construction was underway. The road under construction was not long and asphalt had not yet been paved. The exposed sand and gravel roadbed could only be opened to traffic in one direction. There were no surveillance cameras.
You can drive fast. But there is a big wooden sign on the roadside with the word "slow" written on it. Then go slower and pass.
Wu Baoheng, Zheng Xingzhong's great benefactor, lived in the provincial capital. When his father was arrested, everyone was afraid of being suspected and alienated him. Wu Baoheng sympathized with him and asked his mother to deliver food to him when it was dark, rain or shine, until he went out to become a disciple.
He studied the art for two full years. Wu Baoheng was also a laid-off worker, with a withdrawn personality and an old man. They lived in Jingtao Village, and as time went by, people in the agricultural machinery factory gradually forgot about him.
One day, Wu Baoheng called Zheng Xingzhong to Jingtao Village. His family lived on the edge of the village and had a small courtyard with several jujube trees. It was quiet and comfortable. The main house was three rooms in a row, which was very spacious. There were wing rooms on both sides.
, the window is bright.
Wu Baoheng is a friend of his father, and they are not very close. If Wu’s mother hadn’t brought them food, Zheng Xingzhong might not have known them. Wu Baoheng was always more polite than talkative. He said:
