While Lu Tao was looking for Rong Yimin, Yao Xiaowen also drove to a bungalow area in Fengle and saw Qiao Yunhe who had been beaten by Lu Tao in the rental house.
Qiao Yunhe was not a native of Shencheng. He came out of his hometown to work when he was a teenager, and later became a small rocker in a nightclub. He fought all day long and gradually became famous.
There is a professional term for the legal definition of people in society, called evil forces.
But I believe that blackness and evil are separate, and the most obvious difference is, in addition to the cruelty of the methods, the more important point is whether there is a strong background and the ability to monetize fame.
Obviously, Qiao Yunhe does not have this ability.
Although he is somewhat famous in society, he has never worked with any serious elder brother and has no business. His only source of income is to go to rural fairs and collect protection fees in the name of health management fees.
You ask him why he doesn’t charge fees in the city? Because the morning markets and night markets in the city are contracted by major companies and gangsters, only unattended rural markets can allow him to fish in troubled waters and earn five to six thousand yuan a month.
In 2007, the purchasing power of RMB was very strong, with an income of five to six thousand yuan per month. Although he was not rich, he was definitely a high-income group. However, Qiao Yunhe's life was very tight.
On the one hand, it is because he needs to maintain his face as a "big brother in society", and on the other hand, it is also because he is surrounded by a group of idle young people who have nothing to do every day, and these people have to be supported by him.
In a rental house that was so simple that there was only a heated bed, Yao Xiaowen, who had bruises on his face, endured the smell of his stinky feet. He looked at Qiao Yunhe, who was also bruised and swollen, and sighed: "Dahe, I have made you suffer for what happened today." Got it!"
"It's okay. What's the point of being aggrieved? You always help me when I don't have enough to eat. How can I pretend not to see you when something happens to you?"
Qiao Yunhe shook his head: "It's just that I didn't understand this matter today, and it's embarrassing for you!"
"I have something to ask you. If you can come, please give me face. Don't worry about the outcome of this matter. I have to accept your favor!"
Yao Xiaowen handed over a cigarette: "What do you want to do next?"
"You know I am a person with no brains. I just rely on my ruthlessness to make ends meet! Today Lu Tao made me walk out of the battlefield on my knees, and my job was ruined!"
Qiao Yunhe sighed: "A person can get along in society based on his face! I lost my face today, and I won't be able to get along here in the future. I can't deal with Lu Tao, and I don't have the guts to kill anyone. I'll start tomorrow The ticket goes back to my hometown.”
Yao Xiaowen tried to persuade him, "Why don't you leave? I'll find a job for you on the battlefield."
"Forget it! I've offended a lot of people in the past few years, and I suppressed them with all my strength. If I fail this time, they will definitely have to take revenge on me later."
Qiao Yunhe grinned: "Brother Yao, I appreciate your kindness, but I have bought all the tickets! If you still recognize me as a friend, just treat me to a drink when I come to Shencheng in the future!"
"It's good. Although Shencheng is the provincial capital, it's still a big city. It's prosperous and lively, but there are also many temptations! In the few years you have been here, you have made a lot of money, but you probably don't have much left. Don't talk to me. I don’t like to hear it, but you don’t have the brains for business. When you were young, you could make a living by fighting hard, but if you continue to mess around like this, you will be useless.”
Yao Xiaowen took the handbag and took out 50,000 yuan: "You can take this money and open a snack shop or a small store in your hometown. It should be enough."
Qiao Yunhe froze on the spot: "Brother Yao, is this too much money?"
"I gave you this money not only because you helped me with things, but also because we are friends! Although Lu Tao's things went wrong, didn't you also help me a lot before?"
Yao Xiaowen pushed the money over: "For this little money, I can get it by selling a few carts of sand. Don't be polite to me, just take it!"
"Hey, thank you Brother Yao!"
Qiao Yunhe grinned: "I have been living in Shencheng for so many years and have many friends, but you are the only one who can do things openly and let me take my mind!"
Yao Xiaowen waved his hand: "Okay, you can get busy, I'm leaving!"
Qiao Yunhe saw Yao Xiaowen getting up and asked, "Brother Yao, what do you want to do next about Lu Tao's matter?"
"There must be a road before the road. I have been in the gravel industry for so many years. If Lu Tao wants to use this method to deal with me, then he is dreaming!"
Yao Xiaowen dropped a sentence and was about to say something else when his phone suddenly rang. He saw Zhang Xuelin calling and said hello to Qiao Yunhe, then walked out and answered the phone: "Xuelin, what's the matter?"
"Brother, someone from Li Chengkai called me just now and said that a batch of sand will be released tonight, about 6,000 liters, and asked us to send a car to pull it back!"
Zhang Xuelin said with some worry: "We just broke up with Lu Tao here. If he wants to deal with you, he will definitely block our transportation line next. I'm worried that this batch of sand will be transported in and it will be smashed into your hands. Do you want to do it?" Pushed?"
"The reason why I go against Lu Tao is because we have a special channel called Li Chengkai. Once we can't eat his products, what's the point of my persistence?"
Yao Xiaowen responded without thinking: "You immediately arrange a convoy to transport this batch of sand back to Tangling!"
"Brother, it's easy to pull the sand back. Where should we put it?"
Zhang Xuesong said with some worry: "During the Chinese New Year period, the relevant departments are on holiday and the enforcement is not strict. Those people under Li Chengkai are illegally mining black sand everywhere. Our three stockpiles are all full. More than 30,000 cubic feet of sand!”
"You go get the freight in first, and I'll take care of the venue issues!"
Yao Xiaowen said a word and then sat back in his car. After pondering for a moment, he dialed the phone to Rong Yimin: "What are you doing, Xiao Rongzi?"
Rong Yimin asked unforgivingly: "Is something wrong, my dutiful son?"
"Haha, fuck!"
Yao Xiaowen laughed and cursed, then asked: "Da Min, do you have any free space over there? I brought in a batch of sand and there is no room to store it!"
Rong Yimin asked: "How many are here?"
Yao Xiaowen lit a cigarette: "It's past six o'clock, less than 7,000 liters. Lend me the venue and I'll pay you the rent."
Rong Yimin knew that Yao Xiaowen had been entangled by Lu Tao, and also knew that it was time for him to use money, but he did not mention that Lu Tao had come to find him, and said with a smile: "It costs a little rent, and I just have it in my hand." If you are short of a batch of sand, you can transport the sand directly to my storage yard, and I will notify the finance department to settle the bill for you tomorrow!"
Yao Xiaowen was a little surprised: "Are you short of sand? I just gave you five thousand liters the day before yesterday. Can the decoration be sold so fast?"
Rong Yimin was ready to buy the goods, and casually weaved a lie: "I have a friend who took over the job of building cement roads in a rural area. He just needs a batch of sand. You bring it to me, and I will supply it to him directly later." Got it!"
Yao Xiaowen's eyes lit up, and he vowed: "Brother, you have helped me a lot! I will work all night tonight, and I will definitely fill up your material yard before dawn!"
