The Sanjin mansion in the backyard of Xinzhi Bookstore is much deserted now. Several women from Shilipu are hired to clean it. The salary is negligible, and the live-in maid only costs 5 yuan per person per month.
In the reception room entered through the back door of the bookstore, a thin man wearing a hat and sunglasses stood in front of Lu Ming.
He is Deputy Manager Qiu, the head of the Longgang branch of the Yellow River Trading Company. In fact, he is the head of the intelligence organization that is building the network in Longgang. He is a native of Longgang. He was originally an informant of the Old Jackal Gang, responsible for inquiring about wealthy households in the county and countryside. etc. situation.
Now he is "doing meritorious deeds" and helping Congressman Lu do things.
From his own perspective, Lao Qiu didn't realize that what he was doing now was any different from before. He just vaguely felt that he was a bit like the head of the secret police in the dark period of the empire.
In the past, the purpose was to inquire about official military and police information and to spy on the secrets of wealthy households. Now, it is the other way around, to inquire about information about gangsters and other criminals.
Huanghe Trading Company, which represents Donghai's "Baoli" series of cosmetics and daily necessities, adopts a very special sales model, word of mouth, word-of-mouth sales, and consumers become sellers and get a commission.
This is naturally the direct sales model brought by Lu Ming.
In fact, the current sales volume of Polaroid is increasing exponentially, but the tycoons in this industry have not realized this yet.
In Jiangning, Baoli's agency rights were handed over to the Yellow River Trading Company.
In Huanghe Trading Company, the information network and sales network are two completely different systems, but they will also benefit from the sales network.
For example, in the Longgang branch, Lao Qiu is the deputy manager, but he is not involved in the real business operations of the Longgang branch. Even the official manager does not know that this deputy manager is a secret intelligence agent who can achieve monthly results. Just a deputy manager.
But Lao Qiu can select useful information for himself from the short messages sent to parents of direct sales personnel.
Of course, in Longgang, "Baoli" is regarded by wealthy households as a luxury product from the East China Sea. The direct sales personnel are in contact with the wealthy class, and the coverage of the intelligence network is limited. Lao Qiu mainly relies on some old connections, and each village and town has its own familiarity. An informant will get a little money for useful information.
In fact, this was enough for Lu Ming. When building a steel plant in Longgang, he had to be cautious. The Hu family's tricks were easier to say, and everything had traces to follow.
Especially now that the Hu family is being arrogant and arrogant, shares? Let's talk about it slowly. It is better to be stable in the early stage. The longer it takes, the better it will be for you.
What we are most afraid of is the trouble caused by some desperate and dangerous elements, such as kidnapping early technicians of steel plants or kidnapping workers in the future, or threatening to cause sabotage and obtain ransom. These are inevitable. The motherland is in a land of chaos. Foreign aid construction projects are somewhat similar to the current situation of our own steel plants.
In addition to the absolute force protection of the five-hundred-person reinforced platoon, possible dangers must be sensed in advance in order to be foolproof.
Lao Qiu was talking about the fact that these days, some small iron factory owners have been discussing privately the plans for the super steel plant.
When the super steel plant enters Longgang, those who feel most threatened now are the small steel plants and small iron plants scattered in several counties in Montenegro. Those who are short-sighted will wish that this steel plant was a yellow stall. In fact, the history of the previous life has proved that the super steel plant The steel plant is actually a benefit to nearby small iron plants and small steel plants.
Sure enough, Lao Qiu got the news that more than one small factory owner made harsh words to deal with this super steel factory after drinking. There was even one of them who had just borrowed hundreds of thousands in debt to start a small steel factory. He felt that the future was bleak and he was afraid of himself. He will be heavily in debt, and when that day comes, he will tie up explosives and die with this life-threatening steel plant.
"Well, no matter how much you inquire, you can't tell the truth after drinking." Lu Ming smiled, thought for a while and said: "There used to be a Sangouzi smoked chicken in Longgang, in Sangouzi Town, right? It was a time-honored brand, but it later closed down. Over there There’s no special news, right?”
Lao Qiu was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, no, what do you mean, young master?"
Lu Ming was about to speak when there was a noise outside.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "Nothing, just go ahead!"
…
Opening the door curtain, Lu Ming walked into the bookstore from the back door.
However, he saw a few rural farmers in the store, pointing at Lin Shaocong and yelling.
And Lin Shaocong's childhood sweetheart, named Gao Xiaohua, was hiding behind Lin Shaocong, with tears all over his face.
Listening to the peasants yelling and scolding Lin Shaocong, it was Gao Xiaohua's family members. The loudest among them was the dark and thin man, Gao Xiaohua's eldest brother, who was scolding Lin Shaocong for being a liar and kidnapping his sister and running away from home.
Among the peasants, there is also a betrothed to Gao Xiaohua, who seems to be a disabled person, lame, surnamed Wang, and not too young.
It sounds like the Gao family and Wang Laizi's family were going to exchange marriages. Gao Xiaohua was promised to Wang Laizi, and Wang Laizi's sister was promised to Gao Laizi.
"Let's go out and talk, can't we go out and talk?!" Lin Shaocong said hurriedly. Seeing his boss come out, he felt even more ashamed. Matters at home had caused the bookstore to be unable to operate normally. As the person in charge, it was his duty to do so.
"Why are you going out? Just tell me here!" Boss Gao got tired of scolding and took a few steps to sit at the tea table. He picked up the cup and started drinking.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Ah, don't..." Lin Shaocong's face turned pale.
Next to Lu Ming, Yu Luan wanted to move, but Lu Ming raised his hand to stop him. Yu Luan bit her red lips and whispered, "If I go back, I'll smash them all. It's a waste of money! I can't even have the tea table."
Lu Ming shook his head helplessly. It was inevitable that Yu Luan had received an education that looked down on mud-legged people and had no sympathy for working people.
Wang Laizi also limped over and sat on the other side of the tea table. He also picked up the cup and poured water to drink.
Lin Shaocong looked pale and looked at the proprietor, already wanting to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Then, Boss Gao and Wang Zizi noticed Lu Ming and Yuluan next to the door curtain. Because of the angle, there was a wooden frame separating them, so when they got to the tea table, Boss Gao and Wang Zizi saw Lu Ming and Yuluan. , but it was Lin Shaocong, who always paid attention to what was going on in the backyard, so as soon as the door curtain moved, he knew that the proprietor had come in. If he looked carefully, he could see it through the bookshelf.
Boss Gao and Wang Laizi were stunned when they saw the people at the back door. Just looking at the young man's aura, they both felt unable to sit still and wanted to stand up.
After that, the beautiful woman in snow-white clothes came into view of the two of them. It was a young man standing casually, and people couldn't help but look at him.
At this time, someone outside shouted, "Who the hell dared to take advantage of the leopard? Dare to cause trouble here!"
Two patrol policemen came in with a menacing look. The leader, the police chief named Wang, was newly promoted to the police chief of this area.
After the collapse of Er Zeng, the Longgang Police Department underwent a major reshuffle. Dozens of people were expelled from the police patrol force, and a dozen more were involved in lawsuits.
Nowadays, those who are in power are all newcomers, and the police chief of this police district knows that this new bookstore cannot afford to offend and wants to be fawned over in every possible way.
When someone said that someone was causing trouble in Xinzhi Bookstore, the two brothers who were eating meatloaf nearby trotted over immediately.
Sheriff Wang faced Lin Shaocong and already nodded and bowed, "Lin Xiangli, don't worry, I will take these people away and bring them to justice!"
Lu Ming looked at it and shook his head. The people in the police station had changed, but in fact nothing had changed. It was just the east wind replaced by the west wind.
Many things are due to systemic flaws, not relying on any enlightened master. This is really a foolish move in the feudal era.
Lin Shaocong sighed softly: "Team Wang, our boss is here."
Lu Ming walked out slowly.
Boss Gao and Wang Laizi were so frightened that they stood aside after being scolded by the patrolman in black police uniforms, not daring to express their anger.
"Ah, Master, are you here?!" Sheriff Wang's face was flattering, and he wanted to kneel down and lick it. The "Lu" in front of "Master" was omitted to show respect, which is the name Chunchun servant calls his master.
"Captain Wang, it's a little housework. You can go and do your business. What a joke!" Lu Ming smiled at Chief Wang.
"Ah, okay, okay! Yes, I'm sorry for bothering you!" Sergeant Wang nodded and bowed, waved his hand, and left with the little patrolman turning around and smiling apologetically.
Yuluan moved a chair a few steps away from the tea table, as if she was afraid of catching the germs there.
Lu Ming sat down and glared at Yu Luan. Of course, this little girl, even with her exquisite body, had absolutely no idea why he was glaring at her now. Instead, he stuck out his tongue to apologize for himself. He must have felt that he was just scolding her for no reason.
"Shao Cong, you can handle your family affairs!" Lu Ming waved his hand.
"Yes, yes..." Lin Shaocong said to Boss Gao and others, "Brother, let's go out and talk!"
Boss Gao, Wang Laizi and others were all sarcastic and nodded at this time.
"Why are you going out to talk?!" Lu Ming smiled and looked at Boss Gao, "You are Xiaohua's eldest brother, right? I don't think you believe that Xiao Linzi is successful now, earning dozens of dollars a month, and there are several companies You are the manager of the bookstore, right? Let me tell you, this is all true. I have invested hundreds of thousands, and the bookstore will do more, and I will leave it all to Xiao Linzi."
Both Gao Boss and Wang Laizi were stunned. Gao Boss wanted to say something, but Xiaohua had already wiped her tears and said: "Brother, stop talking, just listen!"
"Yes, yes..." Only then did Boss Gao realize that this young nobleman might have a higher status than the landlord in his village. The landlord in the village had been bullied by the patrol police when he came to the city, and the man in front of him... Do the patrolmen just call you "Sir"?
I really only listen to what others say, so how do I have the qualifications to speak?
Lu Ming added: "So, although Xiaohua is definitely more than enough to match Shao Cong, for you, you are considered a high-ranking relative of this family, so why are you dissatisfied?"
After a pause, "You can't marry a wife. In fact, I can think of it. In a year or two at most, Xiaohua and Shao Cong will help you buy a wife. She will definitely be more virtuous than Mr. Wang's sister. Of course, you Such a commotion... So, go back, it won't be good if I find out if you make another commotion!"
Boss Gao was dubious, but he didn't dare to refute anything. Since he was not caught, the old man was already extra merciful and whispered: "Yes, yes..."
Wang Laizi didn't dare to say anything more, but looking at Xiao Hua's eyes, he reluctantly followed Gao Laizi, turning back every step of the way.
"Boss..." Lin Shaocong wanted to say something.
Lu Ming waved his hands: "You guys, quickly choose a good day to hold the wedding. How much dowry will Xiaohua's family want? You can advance your salary first, and then deduct it in installments. If you think about it, it won't exceed 100 yuan even if you come over there and ask for more money, right?" "
Lin Shaocong was stunned. Indeed, the Gao family couldn't think of more numbers even if they tried their best.
Lu Ming stood up and walked out.
What Lin Shaocong wanted to say, Lu Ming had already left the store. Looking at his back, Lin Shaocong felt his nose was sore and just wanted to cry. Even on the day when he was about to jump into the river, he never had the urge to cry like he does now.
In her hand, a warm little hand stretched out, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiao Hua with a shy face, "Shao Cong, you are a good person, so you can meet such a noble man as me."
Lin Shaocong was so lost that he forgot where he was for a moment.
