Cheng Tianyuan poked his head out and saw that he was gone. He couldn't help but turned around and asked, "Uncle Zheng, why is this Sixth Master so...so mysterious?"
Zheng Sanyuan smiled softly, "He is indeed mysterious, but people with special abilities will not be very public, because being public may be a disaster for them."
At this moment, Father Xue, who came back from the bathroom, wiped his hands and wandered in slowly.
Father Xue raised his eyebrows and asked, "The short old man is gone?"
Cheng Tianyuan nodded and lowered his voice: "Uncle Zheng said his name is 'Sixth Master'."
Father Xue is from the old Imperial City. He has been around for decades, so he naturally knows a certain number of people.
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. He used to be a gangster in the old society. He ran around in the imperial capital when he was ten years old, and then walked around the streets. Now he is sixty or seventy years old, and he doesn't look old at all.
"
Cheng Tianyuan didn't expect that he was so old. He couldn't believe it, "So old?"
"Yeah." Zheng Sanyuan whispered: "He is in his seventies, but he has always been thin, small, and black. He wanders around all day long, and his appearance has not changed much. I have known him for almost twenty years, and he has always been like this——
Unchanged!"
Xue's father smiled and said: "Looking at his appearance, you can tell he is a weird person. Lao Zheng, I didn't expect you and him to know each other. It's quite surprising."
Lao Zheng has always had a wide network of contacts and has many friends, but he didn't expect that he could even recognize such an old gangster.
Xue's father was born into a noble family and grew up reading poetry and books. He despised some of the darkest methods and characters at the bottom of society and did not like to come into contact with them.
But Lao Zheng is different. He worked his way up from the lowest level of society, and he also likes to act righteously, so he has made many friends. In the years since he has risen to the top of the economy, he still has not forgotten those old friends.
Lao Zheng chuckled and explained: "I rely on my friends when I am away from home. I understand this very well. As long as my friends ask, I will help them as much as I can, so that if I am in trouble someday, someone will help me."
No, I almost fell into trouble this time. Old Brother Xue and Xiao Xue both lent me money to make ends meet. Now that I have collapsed, your father-in-law and son-in-law have come to take care of me."
Dad Xue and Cheng Tianyuan both laughed.
Lao Zheng continued: "Although Mr. Liu is old, his body has always been strong. He said that he likes to help other people the most, so that if he is in trouble, someone can help him. He is a
People who have many stories can probably tell them endlessly over the past few days and nights."
Father Xue frowned and whispered: "Everyone of the older generation at his age has gone through great suffering. He grew up on the streets, so it must be even more difficult."
"Yes!" Lao Zheng sighed: "It's not easy. But he doesn't complain about others. He is always cheerful and cheerful. Sometimes he looks fierce with a sullen face, but in fact he has a very good temper. Now his life is better
, life has gotten better, and he has become more cheerful. He also said just now that it is easy for his brothers to make ends meet, and he is much more relieved now. "
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but ask: "All his brothers...were all raised by him?"
"No." Lao Zheng explained: "Some of their cars were bought by Master Liu, and some were repaired by him. Each person gave Master Liu a dollar a month, and Master Liu tried his best to find ways for them to make money. Six
Mr. Liu is very generous. If the family is in difficulty, he will not charge a dollar and will occasionally go to the rescue. In their circle, if someone has a car accident or something goes wrong, Mr. Liu will take the initiative to take the lead and let everyone
Each of us will contribute a little money to uplift this family, so that those who are in difficulty will not have their families destroyed."
Cheng Tianyuan understands that every industry has its own rules and regulations, but he didn't expect that even those who ride the three-way bus have such a circle, and he is very curious.
Father Xue laughed softly and said warmly: "Ayuan, you are from the south. There are few such things over there, so you must not understand. These are the rules that northerners used to have on the streets. Wait until you stay in the imperial capital longer.
You will understand it gradually."
"Oh... OK." Cheng Tianyuan asked with interest, "Dad, have you ever dealt with such a person?"
Xue's father told the truth: "Indirect fights, but not directly. Usually through the relationship between middlemen, give the middlemen some benefits and let them help communicate and get things done. By the way, Old Tang is such a middleman. He
He is also familiar with the contacts in many places in the imperial capital, and he specializes in setting up connections for people, which is how he makes a living."
"Uncle Old Tang?" Cheng Tianyuan thought of Old Tang who was introduced by his mother-in-law. He was a very gentle and kind old man. He didn't expect that he not only introduced the real estate business, but also had such connections.
Father Xue nodded and explained: "Old Tang is Ling Ling's mother's old neighbor. They grew up in the same alley and have a deep relationship. Because of this old relationship, your mother trusts him very much."
Cheng Tianyuan wrote it down carefully and said with a smile: "Then if I encounter any troublesome things in the future, I will ask Uncle Tang, maybe he can help."
He is in the wholesale business, basically paying with one hand and delivering the goods. At first, he was willing to give credit to some large stores and groceries for a few days, but then some people always liked to default on their debts and pay them back late. Recently, he encountered a case that kept defaulting on payments.
Yes, I currently owe more than two thousand, and I haven't paid a penny back. I always shirk the debt and say it will come in a few days, but it has been several months.
Maybe, he also has to find a middleman to help solve the problem, otherwise it may become more difficult to handle as it drags on.
"Yes." Dad Xue said warmly: "As your business grows bigger and bigger, sooner or later you will encounter some difficult problems. If you can't solve them, ask him for help. He will always have a solution."
Zheng Sanyuan on the side smiled and said: "It would be of great help to know more people like this."
After a pause, he added: "Xiao Xue... she should also know this. I have an intuition that when she opened Ronghua Mall, she also met a lot of people."
"She!" Xue's father said mockingly or approvingly: "As long as she can make money without breaking the law, she can do whatever she can to do it!"
I remember when she went to Haikou in the south to import machinery, she dared to take the goods on the ship at gunpoint - it really made him, a father, sweat!
Zheng Sanyuan laughed and whispered: "She is so young and has such courage and courage. Your brother must be happy!"
Dad Xue shook his head and laughed and asked, "Aren't I always very happy? She dares to do things that I don't dare to do now at such a young age. The mountain behind is higher than the mountain in front of me, so I am indeed happy."
Xue Ling rarely mentioned the specific circumstances of his trip to the south, but Cheng Tianyuan somewhat guessed that the process was thrilling.
In the first two years of building this Ronghua Mall, my wife also spent a lot of money on personal connections, but mainly among the upper-level people. Listening to what Uncle Zheng said, I guess there are also some at the lower-level local people.
Thinking of this, Cheng Tianyuan decided that since there were fewer people around, he had to inquire with his wife.
That afternoon, Xue Ling brought a thermos to see Zheng Sanyuan and stayed until evening before going back.
As soon as she left, Cheng Tianyuan came to work the "night shift" and they missed each other.
Early the next morning, there was a knock on the ward door.
Cheng Tianyuan stood up in confusion, wrapped himself in his coat and opened the door - it was Master Six!
