When the tables were filled, the waiter wisely withdrew.
Feilong consciously picked up the wine jar and refilled their glasses.
Shen Hao took a bite of the dish and put it in his mouth, then asked Feilong, "Are you doing well lately?"
"fine."
Feilong is not only living a good life these days, he is simply enjoying endless glory. Since helping Shen Hao, Licheng Black Flag Camp has been taking care of this guy intentionally or unintentionally: helping him take down all the black market middlemen like him.
When the colleagues who usually compete with him are in jail, and the rest are just rotten fish and shrimps, the channels for buying and selling will automatically converge into Feilong's hands, allowing him to quickly occupy a large area that was originally expected to be and unearned share.
Now, as long as there is anyone hanging around the black market around Licheng, who doesn't know his name, Brother Feilong?
In the past, there was not much money left throughout the year, but now, in just two months, Feilong has made thousands of taels, which is equivalent to the income of the previous two or three years.
I heard that Shen Hao had been promoted before, but I didn't expect to be found again so soon.
"Take these." Shen Hao took out a stack of banknotes, placed them on the table, and motioned to Feilong to put them away.
Feilong's eyelids twitched when he saw it. He had sharp eyes. There were at least a dozen banknotes in the stack. One of them had a denomination of one thousand taels. This stack was at least more than 10,000 taels?
Money is a good thing, but it's also hot. For a moment, I didn't dare to take it, and even shrank my hand back.
"What? Too little?"
"No! What do you mean? No reward for small merits!" Feilong wanted to run away, instinctively feeling that he should be targeted by the man in front of him again.
"Take it first, I need you to do something. These are considered as down payments."
Feilong still didn't dare to take it, but said anxiously: "Just ask me, I will try my best if I can do it."
"I need you to infiltrate into the black markets in more than forty cities around Fengli City. I need you to help me figure out the flow of people, money, and goods. This money is the start-up capital for you. If you follow up, If you still need it, you can apply to me. I will also gradually give you some support in terms of manpower, but you still need to set up this stall yourself first."
Shen Hao told the story while eating. He didn't pause for a moment because of Feilong's increasingly frightened face, and he couldn't refuse in his words.
"This...this, sir, the little one has a pig head, how can he do such a big thing! You, please stop joking with the little one, it's so scary."
"Remember, you have to move quickly, but at the same time, you have to be careful not to expose me."
"No, I..." Feilong wanted to refuse, but when he saw the coldness in Shen Hao's eyes who turned to look over, he swallowed back the words that were about to come to his lips.
Shen Hao found it funny to see Feilong's heartbroken look, and joked: "Last time I asked you for help, you also looked like a mother-in-law, but in the end, you also saw that the benefits you received were far greater than yours." Paying more, there are some risks for sure, but as long as you are careful it won't be a problem.
Chen Tianwen, the new chief flag officer of the Black Flag Battalion of Licheng Guard Station, should you know, right? Go to him and he will give you some necessary assistance. Including helping you get rid of some opponents.
Also, you should contact Liu Kuan, the commander-in-chief of the Black Flag Battalion in Tukui City, as soon as possible. There will be some news from him that needs to be passed on to me through you, and you should also pay attention to concealment. You have to handle this matter immediately, do you understand? "
What else could Feilong say? It’s useless even if he says it! I really wanted to wipe away my tears, but I couldn't even cry. He could only nod silently to show that he heard clearly. The only thing that made his heart warm was the stack of banknotes. He was holding seventeen of them in his hand, totaling seventeen thousand taels!
Shen Hao ate the meal with great pleasure, but Feilong ate it like chewing wax.
When leaving, Shen Hao also gave Fei Long two small Pei Yuan. Shen Hao was still a little concerned about Fei Long's scumbag cultivation, which was only at the third level of Qi refining.
After coming out of the restaurant, Feilong put on a black gauze hat to cover his worried face.
From the bottom of his heart, Feilong didn't want to continue dealing with Shen Hao, but he couldn't help it. He felt that he had been forced to get on Shen Hao's boat. He had to either sink the boat or help row the boat. He had no other choice.
Sighing, Feilong put away his annoyance and began to make plans. He wasn't stupid either. He could have imagined that Shen Hao asked him to infiltrate the black markets in more than forty cities around Fengri City. He was preparing to attack the black markets, but he didn't know whether to master them or to destroy them.
What really puzzled Feilong was that Shen Hao asked him to secretly contact the General Banner of the Black Flag Battalion in Tukui City. Why did he need to be the information bag in the middle? There are so many people in Black Flag Camp who don't use him, but they use him?
After returning home, Feilong locked himself in the room for a whole day, writing and drawing on paper, and finally burned everything he wrote.
"I'm going out for a few days. You should be careful at home. If you feel something is wrong, take the baby back to your parents' house. Also, I put some banknotes in the cabinet. You can take it out yourself if you need it."
After explaining to his mother-in-law, Fei Longbian left home and went to Haocheng first.
After so many years, Feilong has some trustworthy people. The five people who helped him track down the Population Department were some of them. This time, these people are also under Feilong's consideration.
He contacted two people to help him spread the news, saying that he would be setting up a drink at the best flower house in Haocheng in the evening, and would treat his good friends to a drink.
In the afternoon, everyone came, seven in total. Four of them are locals from Haocheng, which is why Feilong chose to have a drink in Haocheng.
Five of these seven people had previously participated in helping to track down the Population Department of Fengri City, and the other two were also two trustworthy people that Feilong had been around for so many years.
"It's still early for dinner, let's have some drinks and play with some money."
In the wing room of the flower building, eight people gathered in a circle, drinking wine, playing with money with bamboo cards in their hands, and chatting.
After Feilong lost more than a dozen games in a row, he put down his cards, picked up his drink and suggested taking a rest.
"Things in Licheng have basically been straightened out recently. More than half of the business in the black market has been handled by me. I make much more money and it's easier than before, but I'm just a little busy."
"Brother Feilong, just tell me, do you want the brothers to come over and help you?"
"Haha, that's right, Brother Feilong is loyal and always thinks of us when good things happen."
Feilong laughed: "That's right. I'm doing well now and can't forget about you, so I really have something to do when I ask you to come here this time. Let's make it clear first, if you want to make money, you have to take risks. Those who sell breakfast outside will pay for it. Be careful not to be stolen by homeless people. If any of you are afraid, you can leave now."
No one left. To put it bluntly, who here is not a desperado? People who are afraid of trouble cannot be called by Feilong.
"Well, since you are all ready to follow me, let me tell you. First of all, I have basically completed the black market business around Licheng. Any further expansion will cause trouble, so I want two people to come and help me. The earthquake scene may cause blood to be seen.
In addition to Licheng, I plan to go to Pingshun City to explore the way. You should be aware of the dangers. I need three people to help me lead the way there. Of course, I still have the trump card, but I can’t tell you. "
There were seven people, Feilong only said he wanted five.
Next, Feilong took out another five thousand taels of silver notes from his arms and threw them on the table.
"This is the settlement fee. Anyone who takes it will be deemed to have joined the gang. If you dare to take the money and do nothing, the old rule is to bury you alive. You must know this."
