"Hey, that..."
Qiao Zuwang felt a little strange today. In the past, when Li Yong came to Qiao's house, he would hide whenever he could, either going out or staying in his room. He didn't dare to be in the same room with him. You can imagine the psychological shadow Li Yong left on him. How heavy it is.
Unexpectedly, not only did he stay this time, he also took the initiative to talk to Li Yong.
Not only Li Yong, Sanli and the others also felt strange, as if the sun was rising in the west.
Li Yong looked at Qiao Zuwang's look and knew that he must have something to ask of him. He asked Sanli and Simei to bring Qiqi, who had been brought back from next door, into the house first, and then pulled up a chair. He sat down and looked at Qiao Zuwang and said, "What's the matter? Tell me?"
Speaking of which, Qiao Zuwang is living quite comfortably now. He spends all his own money and even gets some money from Qiao Erqiang every month.
Qiao Erqiang was originally unwilling to give it, but this old ruffian was so shameless. Qiao Yicheng even said that he was afraid that he would get energetic and go directly to make trouble outside his noodle shop, which would not be good.
In addition, Li Yong didn't stop him, so Qiao Erqiang gave some meaning.
The extra money allowed him to open a small stove for himself outside, and occasionally he could pretend to be generous and bring some leftovers back to his children at home.
Now that his eldest son has been admitted to college and his second son has opened a good noodle shop next to the square, although Qiao Zuwang does not do his job all day long, he feels more dignified wherever he goes out, and his walking pace becomes a bit awkward. It's like 280,000 yuan.
However, because of the warning given by Li Yong, at least his mind was not completely muddled, and he was relatively restrained when playing cards with others. At least he did not owe a huge gambling debt and ask his family to repay it.
Every day, I would carefully calculate whether it would be more cost-effective to spend the money I have playing cards, or whether it would be better to spend time in a bathhouse.
Well, to put it this way, it’s quite “economical”.
"What, I didn't hear someone say that you set up a company outside..."
As soon as Qiao Zuwang said this, the young man's eyes across from him suddenly became sharp. He glanced at him as if there was a cold air blowing on him, making him shiver and his back unconsciously crouched.
Li Yong had taught him a lesson before because he went to contact the landlord at the grocery store without any good intentions.
It also made this old boy's tail wilted just two days ago, but it seems that he still hasn't learned the lesson. Maybe it's because watching everyone around him making money makes his heart scratch like dozens of cats' claws. It feels as uncomfortable as a child.
So even though he knew that Li Yong was not going to deal with him, he still stuck to him.
Anyway, for money, he is willing to do anything for money. If the money is enough, it is not a problem for Huaner to sell his daughter.
"Qiao Zuwang, what do you think I can do to help you live a stable life until now?" Li Yong grabbed him by the collar and threatened him in a low voice: "Do you think I wouldn't dare to do it with Sanli and the others here?" What to do with you?":
"No, absolutely nothing," Qiao Zuwang hurriedly waved his hands to deny: "How dare I think that? I know your abilities better than them, so I dare not mess with you. But you see, you have to accept it anyway. You don’t have to accept other people’s money from anyone else. Why don’t you take my money? What do you think?”… Li Yong sneered and said, “You think it’s such a cheap thing, why didn’t I come to you earlier?”
"Ah?" Qiao Zuwang was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Then it's not, it's not that I was ignorant before, you sir... oh no, although you are still young, you must have a lot of them, even if you look at three For the sake of Li and the others, don’t argue with me.”
Seeing Li Yong's suspicious look, Qiao Zuwang suddenly raised three fingers and pointed to the sky and said seriously: "I, Qiao Zuwang, promise that as long as you can make me rich, Xiao Li, I will never ask you to go east if you ask me to do so." How about going west?"
Qiao Zuwang was really looking forward to getting rich, so he went to play cards and gamble, and he wanted to make money, but he definitely didn't want to lose.
Of course, he was a lazy person and was unwilling to work as down-to-earth as Qi Zhiqiang, so he was embarrassed to be in the factory at first. Later, he refused to obey the discipline.
But then he was laid off with little shoes on.
Of course, it's not actually wearing small shoes. After all, such people are disgusting there.
Li Yong looked at him sideways, then suddenly laughed, patted the bench and said, "Okay, but I have a better way to make a lot of money than this. Do you want to do it?"
Qiao Zuwang had a sudden thought. He had been scared a few times in the past, but now he felt that something bad was going to happen when Li Yong smiled. It had become a conditioned reflex.
But after listening to Li Yong's words, I thought to myself that I was just asking him to help make money, so I didn't think I was provoking him, so I nodded my head like a chicken pecking at rice, and asked eagerly: "What's the way?"
"Do you know where Hong Kong Island is?"
Qiao Zuwang was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and said: "I know, of course I know, it's just below Guangdong Province. But isn't that the territory of foreigners?"
Hong Kong Island is still under British rule, and negotiations have continued over the past two years. The return of Hong Kong in 1997 was not confirmed until the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" was signed in 1985.
Of course, it is precisely because of this that Hong Kong Island is now regarded as a "foreign" place in the eyes of many people in China.
Everyone has a longing for that place, but also some fear of not being familiar with the place.
"Yes, but it doesn't matter. The largest number of people there are ours, and it will soon become our place. As you can tell by watching "Xinwen Lianbo", we are currently negotiating with the British."
"How can I look at that thing?"
"Xinwen Lianbo" only started on January 1, 1978. It is true that many people have not yet developed the habit of watching it, not to mention that Qiao's family does not have a TV.
Qiao Erqiang originally wanted to buy one, because he had always dreamed of being like Niu Ye and having a TV at home. However, Qiao Yicheng talked about their usual work and school, and Qiao Qiqi couldn't understand anything. In the end, the TV ended up in Qiao Zuwang's hands.
It would be better to just put the TV directly in the noodle shop like that grocery store, and it would still attract some customers.
Qiao Erqiang thought so, so he did it.
"I don't care if you see it or not. In short, if you go over there, I will give you a sum of money every month, but you have to do things according to my instructions. I will find someone to follow you. If you once If you take money and do nothing, or you have crooked ideas, just respect yourself.”… Qiao Zuwang had a lot of problems, but Li Yong felt that maybe he was just rubbish in the wrong place.
It would be nice if the waste could be thrown into a recycling bin and reused. Isn't Hong Kong just right now?
What Li Yong asked Qiao Zuwang to do was actually not that dangerous. He just asked him to do some record-keeping and fish in troubled waters.
On the one hand, it disgusts the British, and on the other hand, it leaves some evidence that can be used in the future.
Although Li Yong doesn't have any noble sentiments of compassion for others, nor does he have strong feelings about his family and country, he thought of it and decided to play a chess game, which could also give Qiao Zuwang, a bitch who didn't know how to deal with it later, a relatively suitable choice. place.
Of course, the worst possible outcome is that he will die in a foreign land, so Li Yong will try to help him in the future. After all, he can still honor his ancestors and earn face for Qiao Yicheng and his children.
When it came to money, and it was such an enviable world of flowers, Qiao Zuwang ignored for a moment how it was possible that Li Yong's good things would be his turn, and asked hurriedly: "Then how am I going to get there?"
"I can let people think of a solution, but once you get there, I can't control you."
"Ah?" When Qiao Zuwang heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "That won't work! I won't go, I won't go..."
Qiao Zuwang was lazy and cowardly, and Li Yong had already expected that he would not agree so easily, and it would just be more money.
Considering that this matter itself is indeed difficult to handle, and it is difficult to find others to push others into trouble, Li Yong is very willing to spend money on this matter.
Well, of course the money was taken from Li Wu first. It was regarded as the money he borrowed, and he would have to pay it back later.
Of course, if Qiao Zuwang really does something famous there, not only will he be able to
By being self-sufficient, you might even be able to generate income.
This depends on whether it is really misplaced garbage, which can be transformed after recycling. .
Extreme elegance
