"Lao Wan, you don't even know about such a big thing!"
Another merchant said: "I heard! Mr. Li from Li's Trading Company has been elected as the president of the Yicheng branch of the Yangzhou Salt Chamber of Commerce. He is preparing to..."
This man was relatively well-informed and good at talking. He vividly described the benefits of group training. Of course, the version he was talking about was the plan Gu Sheng gave Mr. Li when he went to the wilderness, and it was the same as the big thing he was planning to do now.
The comparison is a bit unsatisfactory.
"This is a good thing!"
Every small merchant has expressed support. They are small businesses and really cannot afford a large number of escorts. Every time businessmen from outside can only get together and hire escort agencies, even this is not considered safe.
If we can really organize group training to ensure the safety of the commercial roads around Yicheng, the people who will benefit the most are small business groups like them.
"Master Liu San!"
At this time, brother Liu Shui, known as Yicheng's "timely rain", also came over and greeted Liu San very familiarly.
"Brother Liu Shui!"
Liu San replied politely. On the surface, nothing could be seen. In fact, he and Liu Shui had just informed the news secretly.
"Brother Liu San, your White Horse Gang is well-informed. Have you ever asked about what kind of person Teng Qinghu from Tengjiazhuang is?"
Liu Shui was also followed by a group of people, but more of these people were small gangs such as green-skinned gangsters. Their information was even less well-informed. They only knew that something big had happened in Yicheng. Now that he saw Liu San, someone
I just wanted to get some news.
"It turns out to be Wang Da!"
Liu San glanced at this person, and after recognizing him, his attitude became a little more affectionate, and he seemed to be warning: "This Mr. Teng is not a small person, he is close to Miss Li of the Li family!
One of the three famous Wang family villains from Jiangning County and Nanxing County was caught in his hand yesterday, and his weapons were just hanging there! So, you should be better off later and don’t be too violent."
It was just yesterday that Gu Sheng defeated the three Wang brothers in a battle. Not many people here are really well-informed, so there are not many people who know that something big happened yesterday.
"What~"
Some small businessmen were not sure what the role of Wang's Three Fiends was, so they didn't react much. However, the expressions of several gang members around them changed at the same time. Wang's Three Fierces were legendary first-class masters who could compete with the White Horse Gang.
The existence of arm wrestling has just failed.
"Thank you, Mr. San, for informing me. I appreciate it~"
The bearded man named Wang Da broke out in a cold sweat. He just thought that gathering everyone today was too grand and he was ready to 'liven up the atmosphere (make trouble)'!
"Ni Chengshou and Master Li are here!"
"Who is that young man among them?"
"Hiss! So young!"
…
As discussions came from outside, the leading figures in Yicheng also ended their discussions. Looking at the tall, young and honest figure walking between Boss Li and Ni Chengshou, everyone felt a little awkward.
In fact, Gu Sheng was a bit too young. Although he looked tall, his childish look was really hard to intimidate others. He was so calculated that the guy who summoned them to the meeting must be less than twenty years old!
"Bosses, I'd really like to thank you all for being able to come and support Mr. Li today..."
Mr. Li walked to the main seat, with a smile on his face and a amiable look on his face, and the words he spoke were consistent with his identity. He bowed his hands to everyone and began to introduce them.
"Next, I would like to invite the younger generation of my family, Teng Qinghu, to tell you in detail!"
Mr. Li talked a lot about the situation, and briefly introduced the general plan for the team training. Then he talked about the more important city planning, which was supported by Ni Chengshou. This aspect was left to Gu Sheng.
"Everyone~"
Gu Sheng shouted loudly, and everyone in the audience felt the clear sound ringing in their ears, and a few absent-minded guys immediately became alert.
"Come here, this is where we are in Yicheng!"
Gu Sheng greeted people and hung up a complete map of the area around Yicheng, "As you can see, our Yicheng has a rich water system and convenient transportation. Whether it is land or water, the entire Yangzhou is excellent.
The transportation is developed, it is easy to travel from all directions, and the products are rich. It should be an excellent place for trade. But why, our economy in Yicheng cannot improve!
In my opinion, there are two reasons!”
Before anyone could speak, Gu Sheng continued: "First, Yicheng's urban planning is very problematic. The shopping malls, inns, restaurants, casinos, brothels...these things are too scattered, which is not conducive to attracting customers.
.
In other words, what we are doing now is not enough to allow foreign guests to experience the most convenient service.
For example, if customers are gambling in a gambling house and are accompanied by girls, I believe they will be more generous when placing bets. If they win, they will give money to the girls, and if they lose, the girls will give soft words to persuade them and rebuild their fighting spirit.
And when you are tired of gambling, the wine and food in the restaurant can be served at any time, at your call. At the end of the game, when you are tired and exhausted, there is an inn behind you.
If gambling houses, inns, restaurants and brothels are all concentrated on one street, management will be easier and everyone will make more money.
In the same way, many foreign traders need many kinds of things. If he is allowed to collect them slowly by himself, he will feel bored, but if all these things are concentrated on one street, then~"
What Gu Sheng said made many bosses in the city nod. Even Hong Zhenjie and Liu San from the White Horse Gang fell into deep thought. The brothels and gambling houses that Gu Sheng mentioned just now are the manipulators behind these gray industrial chains.
Open a gang.
In Yicheng, the Baima Gang controls nearly 30% of the brothels and 50% of the gambling house business. It involves a wide range of areas. If this matter comes to pass, the Baima Gang will benefit a lot.
"I just said, this is one reason, which is the internal cause of Yicheng, and there is another, which is the most critical issue, the external cause of Yicheng, banditry!"
As soon as Gu Sheng finished speaking, Liu San, Hong Zhenjie, Liu Shui and other gang leaders, who had been smiling before, felt their hearts skip a beat and thought, "Here we come!"
Gu Sheng continued: "Yicheng is adjacent to Chu County and close to the area controlled by Qinghu Island. It has a dense water network, smooth official roads and extends in all directions. The geographical location can be said to be very good, but it has not been able to develop.
Why? A big part of the reason is because the banditry in Yicheng is serious, and the official roads in the territory are full of bandits. The safety of merchants cannot be guaranteed, so they will naturally not come here.
What’s more, they are ruthlessly killing our own caravans in Yicheng. If things continue like this, does our Yicheng still have any hope of development?”
As Gu Sheng spoke, he glanced at the location of the White Horse Gang from time to time, implying that they were the source.
He was preparing to rectify Yicheng, and the Baima Gang was a hurdle he couldn't get around, but he didn't have time to slowly fight them, so he was ready to cut through the mess quickly, but this cut was not done randomly.
The method he used was actually very simple. He drew a big pie for everyone, talked about the bright future of Yicheng, unified his thinking, raised the problem of banditry to a level related to the development of Yicheng, and then unified all forces to deal with the outside world (Baima Gang ),Solve the problem.
