Chapter 255: Each Has His Own Plans
Xiao Qiao was unable to answer for a moment. Song Yuanchao was right. How could an individual who did this withstand investigation?
Not to mention that there are many self-employed people who evade taxes. Even if Xiao Qiao and his friends don't do these crooked ways, they can't avoid some small problems. In addition, as Song Yuanchao reminded, how many of the goods they sell in Dashilan are sold through normal channels?
The clothing products are okay, after all, Tengfei Factory is a formal enterprise. But apart from the products of Tengfei Factory, the sources of other purchased products are very complicated, especially those electronic watches, microphone mirrors and the like, most of which come from Hong Kong, which is simply "parallel imports".
There are many such cases. Generally speaking, the relevant departments turn a blind eye to them. But if they really investigate, they will definitely find the truth. Once Zhao Minglei gets angry, let alone Zhang Liming's powerful background, relying on Zhao Minglei's father's connections in the district to report to the relevant departments will be enough to cause trouble for Xiao Qiao and others.
"Old Song is right. If I were here, things would be better. But now I can't intervene directly. Even if I say hello privately, I can't stand their constant torment. If this goes on for a long time, how can you do business? Can't you just close it down?" Luo Yang nodded.
"Let's just close it. We have money anyway. What can they do to us if they stop doing business?" Xiao Qiao said this impulsively.
"You, why are you so angry now? You were not like this before." Luo Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Brother Yang, how can I not be furious when encountering this? Junzi and Dabing are not here today. If they were here, you would think they would rush out with their weapons immediately."
Luo Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but what Xiao Qiao said was also true. Luo Yang knew what kind of people his brothers were better than anyone else, which was why he didn't tell them after he knew the situation. But he didn't expect Zhao Minglei to be so impatient that he couldn't help but jump out after only one day, which led to the current situation.
Waving his hand, asking Xiao Qiao to calm down, Luo Yang glanced at Song Yuanchao, who nodded slightly.
"In fact, Lao Song and I have already discussed this matter. Oh, and Xiaoyun as well." At this point, Luo Yang directly told Xiao Qiao about their discussion. After explaining it in detail, Luo Yang said to Xiao Qiao, "You need to use your brain when doing business. You can't be impulsive. Impulsiveness won't solve the problem. Besides, Zhao Minglei and his men were calculating but not conscious. We were at a disadvantage from the beginning."
"But it doesn't matter. Now that we know the situation, we have the means to deal with it. Since he has set his eyes on the Dashilar business, no problem! Just let him do it."
"Business in this world is so huge, and the entire Sijiu City cannot be monopolized by our family. Zhao Minglei and his friends are taking it for granted. If we drive me away, he can take over the entire market in one go? Isn't this a joke? Xiao Qiao, don't rush to reply to him. Zhao Minglei will definitely come to you again in a few days. When that time comes, you can find a reason to tell him that you can cooperate, but the specific method of cooperation needs to be discussed in detail..."
Luo Yang slowly laid out all the countermeasures they had discussed. Xiao Qiao was a little skeptical at first, but as he listened to Luo Yang's explanation bit by bit, his expression gradually became solemn, and then his frown slowly relaxed.
"Haha, this is a good idea! I think we can give it a try." After Luo Yang finished speaking, Xiao Qiao slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
"Haha, since you think it's a good idea, then let's do it this way. By the way, tomorrow is Sunday, aren't you going to talk to Lao Song about the wholesale deal? Then you can come with Dabing Junzi and the others and discuss this matter in detail."
"No problem!" Xiao Qiao nodded excitedly, then gritted his teeth and said, "A bunch of bastards, just wait and see!"
"Master Zhao, when can you fix that?"
In a small restaurant, Zhao Minglei and Lao Xiong were drinking and smoking. After three rounds of drinks, Lao Xiong couldn't help asking Zhao Minglei about the Dazhalan business.
Several days have passed since we agreed on it last time, and there has been no movement from Zhao Minglei. Lao Xiong is getting anxious.
Zhao Minglei had just given himself the title of Master Zhao a few days ago. Ever since he was called Master in Dashilan, Zhao Minglei felt more and more that this title was worthy of his status, so from that day on, he deliberately asked people to call him by this title.
"What? Are you anxious?" After taking a sip of wine, Zhao Minglei glanced at Lao Xiong and despised this guy very much in his heart .
Isn't this guy just a has-been rascal? A bumpkin! If he wasn't useful, Zhao Minglei really didn't want to deal with such a person. You know, he is a college student, a senior intellectual, and will be assigned the status of a state cadre in the future. It would be a loss of his status to be on good terms with such a simple-minded rascal.
However, no matter how much he despised Lao Xiong, Zhao Minglei was still somewhat polite to him, calling him brother. This was because Zhao Minglei knew very well that Lao Xiong would be of great use .
After the situation in Dazhalan was established, it was unlikely for him to come forward, and it was even less likely for Wang Juan and Zhang Liming, so the only one on the table was Lao Xiong.
Moreover, Lao Xiong was born a gangster. Although he is not as famous as before, he still has some face in the underworld. It is a good use of him to do many dirty jobs. It is like raising a dog. A vicious dog naturally has its uses. When the time comes, throw him a few bones to chew on. Won't he just wag his tail at you to please you?
"Haha, a little bit." Lao Xiong smiled and nodded. "These days I have gathered several of my former brothers together, and they are all waiting for your words. You know, it's been too long, and the brothers will inevitably have some ideas, and I have to support them every day, and the expenses are..."
At this point, Lao Xiong stretched out two fingers and made a gesture of twisting money in front of Zhao Minglei. Zhao Minglei took a look and cursed him in his heart for being useless. However, since he wanted to raise a dog, the owner still had to give the dog some hope, otherwise these gangsters would turn against him at any time.
Zhao Minglei pulled out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, which looked like there were dozens of them, and generously pushed them towards Lao Xiong: "Spend this pocket money first, the matter is almost done, and I will need you in a few days. Lao Xiong, you better be alert, this is a big deal, don't mess up. Remember, if you can get it done, not only will you have no worries about food and drink in the future, but there will be better days ahead."
When he saw the banknotes, the old bear's eyes lit up instantly, as bright as a 100-watt light bulb.
He stretched out his hand to cover the stack of bills, and when he pulled his palm towards his chest, the bills went into his pocket as if by magic.
"Don't worry, Master Zhao. I'll take care of this matter. Whatever you say will be the final word. Just wait and see!" Lao Xiong patted his chest loudly, acting like a righteous man, but no one knew what he really thought.
Although we were drinking in a restaurant, the wine and food we drank were just simple ones, not great stuff.
Zhao Minglei actually didn't have much money on him now. His entire net worth was less than three hundred. He gave a portion to Lao Xiong, and with the addition of this meal, one third of it was gone in the blink of an eye.
Throwing the last peanut into his mouth, Zhao Minglei stood up, paid the bill, and left the restaurant staggeringly with Lao Xiong.
After the breakup, Zhao Minglei felt a little depressed. He didn't have much money to begin with, and today he gave Lao Xiong one hundred yuan. If this continued, he wouldn't have enough to spend.
But now it's not done yet. Although Zhao Minglei seems calm in front of Lao Xiong, he is actually more anxious. Not only Lao Xiong is watching this, but Wang Juan and Zhang Liming are also watching this. So many days have passed, and Xiao Qiao hasn't replied to him yet. Zhao Minglei can't help it.
Zhao Minglei had to do something to get in touch with Zhang Liming, otherwise Zhang Liming would not help him for nothing. To be useful, you must show your value. Zhao Minglei knew this very well. Thinking of this, he felt that he had to go to Xiao Qiao again and make Xiao Qiao give him a definite answer.
If Xiao Qiao really can't be dealt with, Zhao Minglei has already made a backup plan. Lao Xiong is a chess piece in the backup plan. In addition, he will use some connections, and by that time, it will not be solved by just talking nicely.
"Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao, you must not refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. I, your brother, am giving you a chance..." Zhao Minglei showed a sinister smile on his face. He immediately made up his mind and walked towards home in the night, swaying his drunken body.
