"Brother Tian, there are so many silver ingots. Don't take the expressway on your way back. If you need help, contact me in time. You can tell me that my brother will always be on call. In addition, what I said yesterday is still valid. Come over anytime you want to do it. Let’s make money together!”
Tian Sanjiu patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile: "No problem, I'll come over and do it with you after I go back and finish the work."
"No, Brother Tian, are you really coming?"
"Why, you don't welcome me?"
"Of course you're welcome! Haha."
Watching the jeep gradually getting further away, I frowned and pressed the lighter in my hand. In fact, every time Brother Tian helped us solve the trouble, it was not in vain. It cost money, and the price was very high. In the past, I didn't care about these numbers at all, because there is money in this business. It's too easy, so I often feel that there is no big difference between one million and one hundred thousand.
I calculated in my mind, and including the time in Henan, he probably took more than 6 million from us in the past two years. I'm not a picky person, but after all, I'm in a small business, and I can't afford to give it away like this. In addition, I still owe Dr. Fan 30 million. It's a good thing she doesn't want it from me, just in case she thinks of it one day. If you ask for it from me, I will instantly become a pauper.
At around one o'clock at noon, I came out of CCB and gave a plastic bag to Ma Dachao.
"This is 70,000 in cash, and I will transfer the remaining 130,000 to your card when I have time."
"Brother...I, I really don't know what to say! No matter you let me go up the mountain of swords or down the volcano in the future! If I, Ma Dachao, frown! I am not a man!"
"Okay, what do you want the cash for?"
"Pay off the debt first! I still owe a bunch of foreign debt!"
I saw my relationship with Tian Sanjiu last night. This guy Ma Dachao admired me so much. He was determined to hang out with me. I thought there would be no harm in having a younger brother, so I agreed to him. Accepting a younger brother should give people a sweetener. That's right. In addition to returning the favor, the 200,000 yuan is to let him taste some sweetness so that he can do things for me in the future.
After finding a place to eat, Ma Dachao said to me: "Brother Feng, I think with your strength we can set up a gang. Leave the recruitment to me. How about we call it the Kamikaze Gang? How about calling it the Divine Eye Gang?" !”
"Not interested in."
"Why are you not interested! How majestic we will be then! If you want money, you will have money! If you want women, you will have women! No one dares to bully us!"
Seeing that I was only focused on eating, he slapped his head: "I understand! You don't want to show up, right? It doesn't matter! I can use my name to organize a gang! It's called the Dachao Gang! The actual person behind the scenes is still you! I Although I’m not very good at it! But I know a lot of people! As long as you nod, big brother! I can attract people right away!”
I was slightly moved after hearing this, put down my chopsticks and asked, "What do you think is the usual source of income for people like the Zhenhai Gang?"
Ma Dachao immediately said: "Collect protection fees from karaoke bars, game halls and bars! Help people fight fakes and fight to support the scene! Open massage parlors and organize girls to get commissions! Help people collect accounts and open casinos to loan sharks! There are so many places where you can make money!"
I shook my head: "Just tell me, I'm not interested in anything you're talking about."
At this moment, Li Kangyang called and asked me to come over to discuss something, so I grabbed a few bites of food and took a taxi with Ma Dachao. When I passed by the stadium, I took a special look. Everything around me was as before. Even the blood in the cracks in the pavement bricks had been washed away. The local newspaper and radio station did not report it. In short, it was as if this massacre involving hundreds of people had never happened. Same.
It didn't matter even if the residents living around saw it. In that era before the Internet was widespread, such news would be suppressed quickly.
When we arrived at the place, Li Kangyang came out to greet me. He smiled and said, "Brother, you really impress me."
I was surprised and said: "I thought you would attack me to accuse me."
"Haha, that's not possible. Although I hate Fujian people, I know my priorities. This battle established our reputation as Zhenhai. Besides..."
Before he finished speaking, he glanced at Ma Dachao, who was following me.
"It's okay, we're on our own." I said.
Li Kangyang said with a subtle expression: "I won't talk anymore. Anyway, you understand what I mean."
I know he is referring to the three chief eunuchs. It seems that what Ma Dachao told me last night is true. Brother Pao never shows off, and he will kill whoever he says he will kill.
"Don't be careless, that third security guard..."
Li Kangyang waved his hand: "Don't worry, the Third Taibao is just a false name. It's not certain whether this person is still alive. He has never shown up in the gang in the past two years. Even my brother couldn't contact him before."
"Have you seen the three Taibaos?" I asked.
Li Kangyang said: "I haven't seen him before. Brother, don't worry. As long as this person comes back and shows his face, I know what to do."
"Well, as long as you have a plan."
I flicked the ashes of my cigarette and thought to myself: "We can't just rely on this guy Li Kangyang. We should take the time to talk to my brother-in-law and try our best to eliminate the weeds and leave no hidden dangers."
Zhenhai did not win this battle, but the reputation of his new gang leader has been greatly improved, and without the suppression of the three big eunuchs, it can be said that from now on Zhenhai has the final say. The silver ingot was taken away by Tian Sanjiu, what the fuck? Even if he didn't win, Li Kangyang would be the biggest beneficiary no matter what.
Not only that, except for Brother Yu and me, everyone else who knew the secret of his murder of his brother and his rise to power were all dead! This even made me wonder, was all this the result of his careful planning?
After thinking about it for a moment, I immediately rejected this ridiculous idea. It was impossible. This black guy looked so stupid. His IQ could never keep up with mine.
"By the way, brother, I asked you to come here today and I have one more thing to ask for your help."
"What?"
"You know, it's about paying compensation to the Fujian guys. We've collected it from top to bottom, but it's not enough. It's almost."
"You want to borrow money from me? I don't have it! I'm so poor now! It's hard to even get ten thousand yuan out!" I said quickly.
"No, no matter what you borrow, have you forgotten that I still have some silver ingots? I know you are in this business, brother, so I want you to help me cash in those things, as soon as possible."
"Can't you just sell it to Xiguatou directly? He's always in the business of smuggling."
Li Kangyang whispered: "The silver is related to my brother's death. I don't want that person to know."
"Then how much do you want to sell it for? If you give me a few cents as a profit, I might be able to help you collect it."
"Brother, didn't you say it's worth five million? If you want it, just give me four and a half million. How about that?"
"I never said this. You heard me wrong. The market is very bad now. Silver ingots are very unpopular. It is even harder to sell in such a large quantity. What if I take over a bunch of people and lose them all? This amount is the most. ." I gestured with three fingers.
Li Kangyang frowned: "Three million?"
"It's three hundred thousand."
"Impossible! Your heart is too dark! I regard you as a fucking brother, but you regard me as a fool, right?"
I know that Li Kangyang is in urgent need of money, because judging from the terms of the settlement between him and the Fujian Gang, the compensation must be paid before 12 o'clock tonight. If he exceeds the time limit, the Fujian Gang may think that he wants to breach the contract.
"How far do you have to go?"
"More than a hundred," Li Kangyang said with a dark face.
I thought about it and said directly: "In this way, I can give you one hundred immediately, and then all the silver ingots will be mine. Don't blame me for taking advantage of the fire. This thing is really hard to sell. If you can't accept the price, I can help you." I’ll contact the buyer, but if I want to get the money, I’m afraid it will take half a month at the earliest.”
After I finished speaking, I didn’t rush him and waited for him to make a decision.
After all, this is the official silver of the past, not the low-quality honeycomb silver used by ordinary people. If I can get a hundred, I can make money by selling it with my eyes closed.
I have already planned to send this batch of silver ingots and Chunxi iron coins, plus the large copper merit box from the Ming Dynasty and other messy junk to Xiaoying with the help of Guangxin Logistics. I have a secret there. There are already many treasures stored in the warehouse, such as the Xixia Juan cloth painting of beautiful women taking a bath, the orphan purple gold gourd that I exchanged for a walking stick, and many unpopular burial figurines that are not easy to sell, such as mouth jade and aperture beads. Bronze cup, etc. Of course, these things are not all mine. I trust Xiaoying. My cousin Liangzi is a loser, but my younger siblings are really capable.
"How about it, have you decided yet?"
Li Kangyang gritted his teeth with a dark face and said: "One hundred and three!"
"One hundred and fifteen, the highest."
"Damn deal! I got it for you!"
...
At around eleven o'clock that night, Li Kangyang took two younger brothers he didn't know, and I took Ma Dachao to the old community on the north side of Wenhua Road.
The place is dark, and the word "demolished" is written on the wall of the house. It is obviously a demolition area.
Arriving at the back of the public toilet, Li Kangyang pointed and said, "It's right here. All the money is hidden underneath."
I looked at it and said, speechless: "You have no fucking place or something! Why are you hiding in a latrine!"
He explained: "For the sake of safety, hiding here is much safer than hiding in the Tibetan Gang. No one will pay attention to this kind of place."
There used to be a large pool behind the public toilets, with more than a dozen squat pits connected to it. Although there was no one here, there were still a lot of toilet paper and rotten toilet paper in the pit. When the sun dried them up, they dried into big chunks. The yellow-green solid substance looks a bit like a matcha cake when illuminated with a flashlight.
Li Kangyang ordered his men: "Go down and pick it out for me. There are four sacks at the bottom of the slippers."
Seeing that the two of them were still unwilling to move, Li Kangyang said coldly with a dark face: "I will not repeat my words twice."
The two people looked ugly. They reluctantly went down to the pool under Li Kangyang's order. Soon they took out the first bag. The whole bag was tightly protected with a tarpaulin, but because of the heavy weight of the silver ingots and the pool's presence, The suction force caused the delay in getting it up.
Seeing this, I held up a flashlight and turned around and said, "You also go down and help."
"No...brother, let me forget it. I have very little strength."
I frowned and said, "During the day, you said you would go to hell for me no matter what, are you talking nonsense?"
Li Kangyang angrily urged: "Hurry up and help!"
"Okay! I'll do it! Why don't I do it!"
Ma Dachao stuffed his nostrils with toilet paper, gritted his teeth, and jumped down. He then took a stick and stabbed him randomly.
The three boys worked together to get three bags. Just as they were getting the fourth bag, suddenly a big lump of Xiang slipped from the pit and fell into the pool with a splash. Ma Dachao was so close because of the distance. , was affected by the water splash.
It was obvious that someone was going to the toilet inside, and Ma Dachao's entire face turned red.
Before I could say anything, he took the stick and stabbed it upwards.
