Those who are close to vermillion are red, those who are close to ink are black. People who are in constant contact with each other will not be affected by each other.
Nian Jing and Harden have only known each other for a few months, but because they get along well, they often go out to restaurants and play mahjong together.
In addition to making a profit of about 80,000 yuan from Nian Jing, Hadman also learned how to dress and eat Western food from Nian Jing.
I learned to use noble financial terminology from my mouth from time to time, learned to hold a cigar in my mouth, and learned to drink coffee from a white porcelain cup.
As for Nian Jing, he found a part of his long-lost self-esteem and self-confidence from Hadmen.
He solved some troubles that he once felt humiliated but couldn't do anything about in the past.
You must know that due to the influence of the economic environment, after 1985, due to concerns about too many construction projects and excessive investment, after tightening money, there were "receivables but not paid" and "payables not paid" on corporate accounts. The amount of "unpaid" has increased significantly.
More and more government agencies in the country are beginning to feel lack of funds and cannot pay off their accounts in time.
In addition, as early as 1984, a new wave of gangsters and game owners had emerged in the capital.
Some of them did not follow the tradition of their predecessors and relied on the knives in their hands and the "Buddha" under their control to live a life of pickpocketing.
Instead, they keep pace with the times, just like those "professional shareholders" who emerged during Japan's economic development period.
Many people have developed business awareness and have begun to find ways to get involved in the speculative business of buying and selling.
Needless to say, the nature of gangsters cannot be changed in a day or two. These people are naturally restless and cannot follow the rules in business.
Most people either rely on violent means to buy or sell by force, or they set up schemes to buy and sell short and exploit loopholes in the law.
Nian Jing, as one of the early people who entered the sea, was also tricked by these people.
Several of his accounts have now been dragged down by these people for various reasons.
The amount of money is almost hundreds of thousands, although for a tertiary industry company with a state-owned background like his, it is not a big deal.
But the problem is that these people have to be cheap and behave well, which makes him feel frustrated and panicked.
Those bastards realized that he was powerless and there was nothing he could do to them.
Following the law is complicated and time-consuming, and it is really not worth it.
So not only did she become so arrogant that she would jump up and down in front of him openly, as if it was nothing serious.
They even always teased him about it, making fun of him as the enemy.
I just had to laugh at him face to face and spit on him.
So much so that if Nian Jing meets these people, he will feel guilty and have to avoid them in embarrassment and leave in embarrassment, fearing that he will be laughed at if he stays there.
This is simply a reversal of black and white!
These worries were unimaginable in Nian Jing's past, but they are different now.
Now that he has met Hadmen, he is also a noble person that Hardmen tries his best to curry favor with.
Then it would be most appropriate to leave this matter to Hadmen to resolve.
Even at the beginning, Nian Jing had no such intention at all and had no idea at all.
When he met that group of people by chance, he sighed and complained a few times, and Hardman took the initiative to take care of things for him with great kindness.
That day was October 18, 1986. Nian Jing received more than ten tons of wire rods and more than twenty square meters of wood from Hadmen.
After the two went to Hadmen's warehouse to look at the goods, they went to eat.
I plan to sign the contract at the dinner table and settle the money in the afternoon to get this matter settled.
The restaurant they went to was the Tianfu Douhua Rice Restaurant in Guangqumen.
This is a newly opened Sichuan restaurant in April this year.
Because it was jointly established by Chongwen District Catering Company and relevant Sichuan departments.
Not only was the address chosen well, it is an antique, elegant and bright three-story building.
And this restaurant is managed by six Sichuan stunt chefs, and the taste is extremely authentic.
Especially the tofu dishes.
It is not only suitable for the tongues of Beijing people of this era who are not very intolerant of spicy food, but also closer to the consumption level of the general public than Cantonese cuisine, which focuses on seafood.
So it quickly became popular not long after it opened. When they arrived at the place and entered, their immediate feeling was that it lived up to its reputation.
The decoration of the restaurant is particularly Sichuan-style, and the long-mouthed kettle for making tea for guests is particularly eye-catching.
Even though it was just after twelve o'clock, it was actually full and we still had to wait.
But what was even more unexpected was that Nian Jing also met an acquaintance here. There was a table for four not far from the gate. There were two men and two women. It seemed that they had already ordered the food.
Seeing him and Hardman come in, one of them stood up with a playful smile and waved, "Hey, what a coincidence! President! Come here, come sit down, let's have a drink together."
As for Nian Jing, he was very embarrassed when he saw them. He nodded perfunctorily, turned around and left.
As soon as he turned around and went out, the people at the table burst into triumphant laughter.
Hadmen, who followed Nian Jing out, was confused, but he had already sensed something was wrong.
If nothing else, the way those people greeted Nian Jing was extremely impolite, and their gestures were like barking a dog.
But due to Nian Jing’s embarrassed expression, he couldn’t ask directly, so he made indirect remarks.
"President Nian, what's going on? Do you think it's too messy inside? Do you want to change places?"
Nian Jing sighed, but he didn't deliberately hide his bad mood.
"Hey, don't mention it. I came here just for fun. I didn't expect to run into a bedbug."
"Bedbug? You said you just said hello? I thought he was your friend?"
"Friends? Those are a bunch of scoundrels. We want to eat here. Believe it or not, those few can let me pay for their meals."
"Why?" Hardman became angry when he heard this.
“It’s not just because of them. You don’t know, the guy you called me just now, his brother has been in prison and is a gangster with the first rank over the Peace Arch. What’s the name of Ma Huzi? Come over to me It was because I didn’t know that I did business with him, but this guy cheated me and cost me 20,000 yuan but I didn’t see the goods. I asked him to ask for it. He said that he had lost all the money, and then he took his brother out and said he wanted it. I went with my brother to Baiyangdian to get the money, and his brother was there to think of a way for me. I would be sick if I agreed..."
Just like that, Nian Jing vomited bitterness.
While Hardmen listened, he rolled his eyes.
The more he listened, the more he thought that this was a good opportunity to increase his friendship with Nian Jing and further consolidate his friendship.
So, without further delay, he handed Nian Jing a cigarette and offered to take the initiative.
"Come on, if that's the case, then let's not leave. Guess what, I know his brother. Isn't this a coincidence? Here, you smoke one, give me five minutes, and I'll do it He apologizes to you, and then returns your 'two parties' to you as soon as possible..."
(Note: Two parties are 20,000, and a big note in this era is ten yuan, so there are also differences in society based on the volume of banknotes. They have special names, ten yuan is a piece, a hundred yuan is a tree, a thousand yuan is a book, and ten thousand yuan is a square)
That’s it, there is no room for the dumbfounded Nian Jing to say anything else, Hade The door opened by itself and went back into the restaurant. Of course, the world of gangsters also has its own rules. In order to avoid unnecessary fights and accidental injuries, gangsters also pay attention to "walking around".
If no one comes up, just shout and kill. To convince people with virtue, it is necessary to be polite first and then attack.
So Hardman walked to a certain table and said "Excuse me" first.
Then he gently patted the shoulder of the boy who was rude to Nian Jing just now, and asked politely with a kind tone.
"Hey, let me ask you something. Is your brother Ma Huzi? Ma Qingyu?"
"Who are you?"
The boy who was chatting with his friends at the same table was interrupted and turned around impatiently.
However, there are probably not many people who can call Ma Huzi a big name. This guy with the smoke coming out of his nose has also restrained himself and is not too thorny.
Hardman announced his family name calmly and calmly, "Your brother and I are old acquaintances and friends of the president. My surname is He, and others call me Hardman..."
However, despite this, even if he reported his bandit number, the other party did not know it, so it was not really a joke.
And I don’t know if Nian Jing’s cowardly appearance is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When Hardman claimed to be Nian Jing’s friend, the boy was so awesome that he immediately became cold and sarcastic.
"Come on, don't try to trick me here. Damn it! There are so many people who know my brother! I don't care what your fucking last name is, you just tell me what you want to do, right?"
"Angry" He's quite prosperous, and his temper is really similar to your brother's..." Hardman smiled.
"It's good to know. If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, let it go."
"Okay, let's not talk in circles. Don't you owe the annual salary? It's time to pay it back. Okay..."
"Hey, what the hell are you looking for? I'll fuck..."
After the boy finished speaking, he stood up and grabbed a beer bottle on the table in a threatening manner.
But he didn't notice that as early as when Hadmen laughed just now, there was a fierce look in the master's eyes.
Unexpectedly, his act of provocation would bring about a real bloody disaster for himself.
He is fast, Hardmen is faster than him.
He may be pretending to take action, but Hardman is serious.
Before he could lift the beer bottle, Hardman picked up the tea bowl on the table and smashed it into the boy's face without hesitation.
That's not all, just when the boy felt the power of the scalding tea, he covered his face and shouted "Ah".
Hardman snatched the beer bottle from his hand, grabbed him by the collar, and actually hammered the bottle on his forehead.
However, just when Xue Linlin tilted her head back, Hardmen didn't let go. He picked up the bone plate on the table and interacted with the kid's head with a crisp sound.
What a dark move.
Be ruthless, hit whatever you can in your hand.
Have ordinary people ever seen such a beating?
In short, Hardman's three consecutive attacks have opened up this kid's head and made him understand why the flowers are so red.
After receiving this lightning-fast beating, not only did the boy become honest, but everyone at the table became honest.
Of course this meal was inedible. The other men and two women all froze with pale faces, and their bodies were shaking as if they were electrified.
The kid who was lying on his back was only saved from falling to the ground because Hardman grabbed him.
After pressing him on the chair, Hadman was still holding his shoulders, teaching him earnestly and patiently in the tone of an elder.
"Look, it's bleeding. You have to be more polite when you speak in the future, and don't be so arrogant, otherwise you will suffer a lot in society. If you don't change this problem, sooner or later you will be like your brother. , with a scar on his head. It doesn't matter if you are not convinced. You should go back and ask your brother carefully. He peed his pants several times when he heard the words Hardman. By the way, remember to tell Ma Huzi to save money quickly. , send the money to Mr. Nian tomorrow, and you two must express your most sincere apology to Mr. Nian in person. Otherwise, don’t let me find you in the capital and force me to use your parts to pay off the debt. ..."
Although there was a commotion in the restaurant, the restaurant manager quickly rushed over.
But as an experienced player, Hardman has already made plans to deal with this situation.
He first stated that it was a debt dispute between the two parties, and the action just now was purely impulsive.
At the same time, he stood up and apologized vigorously, and came forward to appease the surrounding customers.
Said that they will not continue to expand the results of the victory, and will also compensate for the damaged items in the restaurant.
So the restaurant manager saw that the people who had been beaten had already been caught, and no one had any intention of calling the police to investigate. He honestly paid for the restaurant's losses and paid for the food he ordered. .
Of course he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, so he just turned a blind eye.
Just like that, while the waiter was cleaning up the mess, the two men and two women who had suffered the disaster today escaped from the place in despair and sent the injured to the hospital for stitches.
The order in the restaurant quickly returned to normal.
It was only then that Harden smiled and asked Nian Jing, who was standing aside and witnessed everything that happened, to sit down.
"Come on, come on, look, there are no seats here. Even the banquet has been prepared for us..."
Needless to say, Harder showed another side of himself vividly. The door gave Nian Jing a new understanding of it.
Only then did he truly realize that the person who fawned over him every day was actually a more fashionable friend.
However, although he had always stayed away from such people in the past, he was a little trepidatious when he discovered Hardmen's true qualities.
But probably because of the recent popularity of gangster movies in Hong Kong City, and because Hardman treated him with such respectful attitude, he felt an unprecedented pleasure.
It's as if I have become Chow Yun-fat in "The Love of Rivers and Lakes". By the way, they call me Big Brother over there.
So, he forced himself to sit down happily and lit a cigarette in a pretentious manner.
But even this didn't stop the hand from shaking like an electric shock.
"Okay, your name is famous enough."
"Where is it? Let me make you laugh. It's all friends in the world."
"Then Tomorrow...can they really send me the money?"
"I can't say enough, but if they don't do it, I'm afraid they will be scared and move away from the capital..."
"Haha, good, happy. Thanks to you, I am finally relieved. I really want to get this money back. You have a share."
"Don't say goodbye. This is what you should do. Since you think highly of me, take care of my business, and treat me like a friend, then if anything like this happens in the future, come on and have a drink."
"I'm really not polite about that. Don't mention it, there is another company that owes me a lot of money, called Lunde Development..."
"Don't worry, just leave this matter to me..." (End of Chapter)< br>
