Chapter 764 Dinner Party
It’s the Chinese New Year, and everyone wants to eat something good to comfort their stomachs.
Especially those rough people who make money.
At noon on New Year's Eve, some rough old men set up two tables at "Shundong Lai" in Wangfujing, the capital.
Twenty people, a group of black crows, gathered together and had a lively chat.
But as long as you get a little closer to these people and hear their conversation for a moment, you will feel uncomfortable and afraid to stop.
Because everyone with a discerning eye knows that there is no good person here.
He is not a toil on the road, he is also a son of society.
The words these boys say are all wild and toneless, and they are unpalatable to the ears. Who wants to provoke them?
"Hey, Huzi, you didn't give me a cigarette when I came here. Are you pretending not to see..."
"Fuck you, Fourth Brother, are you still showing off in front of me? If you want to smoke my cigarettes, wait until you die. I will light three cigarettes for you on your grave..."
" Hu Zi, you have a bad temper recently. I heard that you are hooking up with Lao Guang. Hey, did the female boss who gave you jeans let you sleep? Let’s talk about it. What is it like to eat like a woman? "
"Look at your virtue, you're almost in trouble. Just say it if you're envious. I know you've lost fifty thousand in the past month, so you should give me a good respect. I can even give you a hundred pairs of jeans for a glass of wine. How about that?"
"Don't worry, your fourth master will go around your house even if you want to eat."< br>
"Zhuzi, do you have no one in your eyes? Do you dare to come so late today? Come here quickly. I will drink three drinks as a penalty."
"Oh, Dayong, damn, I just ran back from Muxiyuan today. I have something that can make money, don't say I don't miss you. I found a Zhejiang guy to wholesale leather jackets, thirty-one. Do you want it?”
“Thirty, are you trying to harm me? Xiushui Street will be a regular market soon. You can’t run away if you do this. Temple, sooner or later you will be in trouble. Be careful to stick it on the wall, and you will be reborn early."
"How do you talk to my brother?"
"Little boy? Son, you’re the elder. It’s not your turn to talk here. I asked your elder brother to teach you how to behave!” The three or four people I brought with me should stand up now.
Zhuzi quickly scolded and stopped him.
"Sit down, you silly x! Shut your mouths one by one! Dayong, these are the little brothers I just accepted. Don't be polite, please be more responsible."
< br>"It's raw enough, I like it, forget it..."
There are steps on both sides.
Actually, all dissatisfaction is fake, and pretense is real. In this situation, no one dares to overturn.
Because this bureau was originally set up by the self-employed people who were brought to Xiushui Street by Luo Guangliang.
Hu Zi, Lao Si, Zhu Zhu, and Dayong, headed by them, go to the market every day to make a living. They play cards together when they have nothing to do, and even drink together after closing the stalls. Who is not with whom? So familiar.
This banquet was nothing more than a get-together with eldest brother Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao, whom they had not seen for nearly a year.
That is to say, they are different now from the past. With the accumulation of funds, they are no longer alone.
They all recruited a few young people to help, and when they met each other, they teased Menzi, bragging, and showing off in front of his subordinates.
Anyway, while they were chatting, Luo Guangliang came in with Xiao Tao.
Hu Zi, Lao Si, Zhu Zhu and Dayong stood up and called "Third Brother".
Under their leadership, everyone stood up to greet them.
It’s just that Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao were all dressed in postage stamp outfits, military coats, cotton jackets, cotton trousers, and five-eye cotton shoes.
Although it is warm, it seems a bit rustic compared to a table full of self-employed people dumping clothes.
This can't help but make the gang of kids who followed him a little disappointed.
However, Luo Guangliang was soft on the outside and responsive on the inside, his temperament remained intact, and he turned a deaf ear to the whispered gossip and hugged him with both hands.
"Brothers, it's been a long time since I last saw you. Seeing how strong your troops and horses are, you are all strong now. I have nothing to say, but I am happy for you. Since we are all our own people, there is no need to be polite and polite. Let's settle this today. Mine. You should eat and drink according to your mood. Drink as much wine as you want. Don’t be vindictive. Just do what you want. The future will be long. He pulled Xiao Tao and sat down on the front seat.
Huzi took the lead in standing and raising his glass.
"Third brother, let me make you laugh. You still don't know what's going on with our good deeds. It's all thanks to your help that we are here today. You will always be our third brother, so we must not treat you today. It’s us brothers who invite you together. Third brother, let me pay you a compliment first.”
We are all sensible people, so we naturally know what to do.
Then everyone toasted Luo Guangliang one by one and chatted with Xiao Tao.
Hot pot, side dishes, mutton, beef, cabbage, vermicelli, louvers, and sesame seed pancakes were all delivered at a reasonable price by the waiters in the restaurant.
However, the politeness and spectacle at the table were over, and everyone had been eating enthusiastically for a while, and the meal began to look a little unusual.
Qingqing Huzi, Laosi, Zhuzi and Dayong are drunkards who don't care about drinking. The purpose of their party is not pure. In fact, they have other ideas.
For no other reason than who makes the Xiushui Street market prosperous now.
They sell clothes on Xiushui Street to earn money from foreigners, which is the most fashionable and profitable business at the moment.
Even among all the clothing self-employed businesses in Beijing, they can be regarded as the most profitable ones.
Although when the market was formalized, they were all troubled by the street because of their daily misbehavior, and were almost kicked out of the market.
In the end, thanks to Ning Weimin's efforts, each of them got a Xiushui Street stall.
But many people are dissatisfied. Over the past few months, the initial joy and gratitude have gradually turned into jealousy.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that they had suffered a huge loss, and they were really unhappy that they had lost a stall.
In comparison, seeing Ning Weimin monopolizing nearly thirty stalls in such a prosperous place, he couldn't help but be jealous.
Of course they had other thoughts. They wanted to encourage Luo Guangliang to talk to Ning Weimin again and cut the cake again.
I also want to persuade Luo Guangliang to be a strong dragon but not a local snake.
I plan to use Luo Guangliang as a cover to stand up for them, so that he can dominate the market and dominate the market in the future. They believed that Luo Guangliang was a troubled man and was particularly concerned about his brothers' affairs. He was always like a land lord who responded to every request.
As long as they say something nice and get the eldest brother to fight, the matter will basically be over.
As the saying goes, it means making fun of people.
"Third brother, to tell you the truth, Xiushui Street is so prosperous now that it is no exaggeration to say it is number one in the capital. Brothers, we are not looking forward to anything else at the moment. We are just looking forward to you coming back as soon as possible and taking everyone with you." Let’s work together. It’s best if we can unify the entire market. From now on, the entire Xiushui Street will listen to our brothers.”
Huzi will fill people in with good things first.
Then Lao Si took over and continued to go deeper, throwing out the bait of gaining both fame and wealth.
“That’s right, Third Brother, such a good land must be occupied by those who are capable. It depends on who has the vision and courage to strike first. Third Brother, with you as a banner to support Come on, brothers, you are confident. Just take us and do it together. Once it is done, it will be a century-old business. From now on, there will be a lot of money. If nothing else, make a profit by selling goods and gain another hand by pouring foreign exchange. , If we charge more protection fees in the future, we will be able to take advantage of it. How much income will it bring?”
After that, Dayong came up with a specific plan.
"But third brother, there are only about eighty stalls in this whole market, and our brothers together only occupy six. Isn't this a bit miserable? I don't tell you. As for your brother named Ning , it’s a bit ugly to eat alone. How many times has he been here since we started selling clothes? He usually sells goods to us, and he sits in the room drinking tea. Make a fortune. Now that the market is about to open, he took away thirty stalls in one pot. Do you think this is fair?"
In the end, it was the pillars that deceived people.
"Third brother, the brothers actually have only one idea. Can you have a good talk with the man named Ning and see if we can even out the ten stalls of our brothers. Now that we have so many people, As long as these stalls are in our hands, our income will be doubled immediately. Third brother, don't blame us brothers for being unjust. The key is that brothers have to make money. To be honest, it is difficult to live without money. There are so many opportunities waiting for people like us, so courage is the key, we have to seize this rare opportunity. As long as you do this for your brothers, everyone will be grateful to you, and this Xiushui market will be great in the future. You have the final say. Our brothers guarantee that you will hit wherever you point them without any ambiguity..."
The words of these brothers really shocked Luo Guangliang and Xiao Tao.
They really didn’t expect that these people would become so greedy after not seeing each other for a year.
None of them have forgotten how they started their business, and how grateful they were to Ning Weimin for showing them how to make a fortune.
And Luo Guangliang was particularly uncomfortable. It was obvious that these brothers were plotting against him.
The words sound nice, but in fact no one really cares about friendship, they all want to use him as a gun.
He is just a straightforward person, not stupid.
Why did I enter Chadian in the first place? The lesson I will never forget.
With such experience, it would be incredible for him to be fooled like this.
So he bluntly refused.
"I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. I can't agree to any of your requests. Because firstly, you guys are obviously not taking the right path now. You still worry about it. It’s just been a few months since the crackdown on social security began, and you have all forgotten how miserable the bosses who were so prosperous on the streets in the first few years ended up.”
"What kind of society is it now? A society ruled by law. Doesn't it mean that you can't make money by following the right path? Why do you have to follow the evil path? To put it bluntly, don't break it. It's a good time to have fun. We all wear shoes now, and be practical. Isn't life better than anything else? How about going barefoot? Do you have to risk your life for a few dollars? "
"Secondly, I think there is no fairness in this world. Once fairness is involved, many things will turn into trivial matters, and conflicts will arise. I advise you all to think carefully, is there really "fairness"? Are most disputes caused by the pursuit of so-called "fairness"? Fairness'? To be honest, in my opinion, 'unfairness' is the basis for harmonious work. ”
"To put it aside, we are all the masters who have been in the circle. If we just use the circle to talk about things, it would be an unfair place. There is a difference between superiority and inferiority, and a huge difference between strength and weakness. Because of this, Many problems have been fundamentally solved. In the insect world, those who eat vegetables are called pests, and those who kill animals have their own applicable positions. The answers are different from different perspectives. Different. "
"But for insects, this is the natural ecology and the inevitable living environment. It is the same for humans. No matter what it is, it is just a restoration of life. If you travel a thousand miles to eat meat, don't blame society for being unfair. At least before you blame it, you should first pat yourself on the head and ask yourself, do you have the qualifications to do this? Of course, there are people to rely on and reason for. "
"As for the last thing, I will emphasize one more thing. You all should know that I, Luo San'er, am not afraid of those who are arrogant, and I will not bully those who are soft. , treat brothers equally. If you are in trouble, I will not hesitate to help you. Why? Just because I am a good person, I have always regarded you as my brother. What’s more special is that he is different from you. He is not only my childhood friend, but also my benefactor.”
“Do you understand me?” I hope you all can get rich. We all have our own ambitions. Even if we can't get together, I still hope that we can show respect to each other and take care of each other. But there is one thing. Let me start with Ning Weimin. No one should make any mistakes in the thirty stalls. They all deserve it. Don’t deliberately try to find trouble. Otherwise, no one will jump out or make secrets. Dirty Chan'er, don't blame me for not recognizing my brother."
Luo Guangliang's rude reply was certainly something that no one expected.
Not to mention Huzi, Laosi, Zhuzi, and Dayong all felt aggrieved after hearing this, their young and energetic brothers were even more upset.
It stands to reason that most young people have the temperament of a young person and do not understand the importance of things.
What's more, he doesn't like Luo Guangliang's dirty clothes.
Someone must have lost their temper and got up and yelled, which would inevitably lead to conflict.
The blame lies here.
I wonder if Luo Guangliang's reasoning is so strong that people can't fault it and can only be convinced.
A tiger is a tiger, Luo Guangliang can scare people with a single glare.
Due to the amazing momentum, no one dared to retaliate or even express dissatisfaction.
So the final result is that this meal cannot be eaten at all, and it ends hastily.
In the end, it was Luo Guangliang who settled the account for these two tables, which was one hundred and forty-eight yuan.
He doesn't care about this little money, especially if he can't be picked on for this kind of thing and get the reputation of being a free man and scolding the public.
On the other hand, there is only one thing he really cares about, and that is what Xiao Tao will think.
"Xiao Tao, what do you think about this matter today? Do you have any ideas."
"Third brother, what do you mean by this? They are them, and I am me. "
"How should I put it? I feel that after this meeting, the opinions of many buddies have changed. Looking at each of them, I know that this world is really. It has changed. Today’s solar terms are not the same as before. People are changing, feelings are weakening, and they are becoming more and more practical.”
Xiao Tao's reaction was very quick, "Wake up, the RMB is so useful. Now these grandsons are not to be cared for. The righteous ones are all eaten by fucking dogs. They all recognize money but not people."
Luo Guangliang sighed, "Yes, no one can escape its temptation. Just say that this year, your help has delayed your own business. You only get a thousand yuan a month, and this is all It’s the New Year, so I gave you an extra two thousand. If you say anything, don’t you feel any loss? Do you have any complaints?”
Looking at Luo Guangliang’s sincere look, Xiao Tao was also heartbroken.
“Third brother, to be honest, the financial accounts are obvious. It’s definitely not worthwhile for me to just calculate the financial accounts this year, especially when I see others making big money just like printing money. I can’t help but occasionally I have some ideas. But on the other hand, it’s also very rewarding. Manager Ning’s calculations are really top-notch. It’s a lot of experience to work for him.”
“Thanks to him, I’m here. After getting off the plane, we visited Shanghai and Huacheng. We also ate and stayed in all the high-end restaurants and hotels. The key is that we saw how real big bosses do things and learned a lot from them. I can't tell you the specifics, but I feel that when I go back to do business, my thoughts will definitely be different from those before. Now, I can actually understand what you said, and I don't look down on them. I’m very lucky to be able to work with you for this year. Even if I spend money on learning, it’s worth it.”
"What's more, in my eyes, you are also an upright person. Who among the people around me can have such arrogance and courage as you? Over the years, following you, I have changed from a naive and ignorant person. My son has become a person who can support himself and support his family. I will never forget this feeling in my life.”
“Third brother, let me put it this way, you know that I, Xiao Tao, was actually quite arrogant in the past. , there are not many people that I really admire, but you are one of them, and Manager Ning is one of them. I feel relieved and grateful to be able to work with you. Tao is able to live like this because of you, and Baigan should be happy as well."
Luo Guangliang patted Xiao Tao's shoulder affectionately and handed him a cigarette.
Finally, I felt that the pre-holiday drink was not too depressing.
