Volume 2 Business Chapter 05 Budget (Part 1)
The gunman began to count circles from beginning to end, one, two, three, four, five, six... tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, and six zeros after three. He counted forward once, and counted backward once. Yes, there were six zeros. He took two steps, felt uneasy, and took it out to have a look. Damn, this is three million? Why do I feel uneasy? Should I take it all out and hold it in my arms?
"Brother Hai, how heavy is ten thousand yuan?"
Long Chenghai was alone in his thoughts, going over the characteristics of his brothers in his mind again and again. Suddenly he heard the gun captain's question and was unable to react for a moment: "What did you say?"
The gunner slowed down his tone and asked again: "How much does 10,000 yuan, 100 100 yuan bills, weigh?" Long Chenghai was confused, wondering what this guy was thinking: "Maybe 300-400 yuan."
The gun master began to calculate by himself: "10,000 is 3500 jin, 100,000 is 3500 jin, 1 million is 3500 jin, 3 million is 10500 jin! It's so heavy! Forget it, I'll just put it in the bank." He then put the small deposit card in his pocket a few times. But in his heart, he was thinking: If the bank suddenly closes, wouldn't it be a false joy for me? But he thought it was impossible, and he kept reciting the password in his mind, mumbling to himself, thinking of luxury cars and beauties. The expression on his face was so colorful.
Seeing this, Long Chenghai was a little suspicious whether this guy had any illness?
"Brother...are you okay? Why do you look so grim?"
The gun master suddenly realized, "This is the feeling of being rich! Not so good? I want to try it!" He ignored Long Chenghai's question and thought to himself, I'm so happy, I already have three million, how can I look good? I'm rich, hehe, of course I have to let others look at my face when I'm rich!
Long Chenghai reached out to stop a taxi. Fearing that the gun captain would continue to talk nonsense, he turned around and warned him, "Brother, don't talk nonsense for a while. You are a person of status now, and you can't let others look down on you."
Just as he was about to get on the bus, the gun captain saw a foreigner walking over with a travel bag on his back. He hurriedly called out to the foreigner in English: "Hi, do you speak English?"
The foreigner was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect someone to greet him. He replied enthusiastically in English: "Yes, I'm American."
The gun chief suddenly asked: "Do you have three million?" The foreigner was stunned again and said in a muffled voice: "No. What else do you want?" The gun chief laughed and said: "I have three million. If you call me Chinese Daddy, I will give you three thousand yuan." The foreigner's face turned the color of liver and he cursed angrily: "Chinese people are so uneducated!" The gun chief smiled and said in Chinese: "Damn it, I give you three thousand yuan to call you daddy, why don't you do it?" He said in English: "Then if you give me three thousand yuan, I will call you American Daddy?"
The foreigner acted as if he was incredulous and cursed, "Psycho!" Then he turned and walked away. The gun captain shouted from behind, "Hey! American, business is not worth it, but friendship. Do you have a sister?" The foreigner hurriedly sped up, and the gun captain shouted unwillingly, "I'll give you 10,000 yuan to introduce your sister to me!"
Long Chenghai and the taxi driver looked at the gun captain blankly, not knowing what he had just said to the foreigner. But seeing how excited he was, he must have had a great time chatting with the foreign guest. Long Chenghai was filled with respect. He sighed sincerely, "Brother, I never knew you could speak such a fluent foreign language."
The spearman laughed and said, "I have studied for eight years and can barely cope with it."
Long Chenghai asked curiously, "What did you say to him just now?" The gun captain repeated the previous conversation, and the taxi driver spit out dozens of saliva and laughed crazily. He thought this man was really funny. He actually joked with a foreigner. He couldn't help asking, "Brother, if he really called you Chinese dad, would you give him 3,000 yuan?"
The gun captain rolled his eyes and said, "I'm stupid! If he really screams, I'll ask him to give me three thousand dollars!"
The driver was a little surprised and asked, "Why?"
The spear leader laughed and said, "What's the big deal? He is my son. How can a father teach his son to respect him?"
The driver then asked, "If he gave you 3,000 yuan, would you call him American Dad?"
Long Chenghai also wanted to hear the gun captain's answer. The gun captain laughed and said, "Of course I will, but we have to sign a contract first. I will get three thousand dollars for calling him American daddy once. I plan to call him one thousand and ten thousand times." Long Chenghai and the driver had to shake their heads after hearing such a shameless conversation. The driver cursed in his heart: If you really call me that, won't you lose face for the Chinese? But if it were me, would I call him that?
Long Chenghai has been with the gun for the past two days, and his neck is almost broken. It's really exciting!
Fortunately, the gun captain was daydreaming all the way and didn't say anything. Long Chenghai secretly felt lucky. It seemed that the best way to deal with him was money! This guy was a typical mother who only cares about whoever feeds him.
The two men returned to the church first. After Long Chengjiang arrived, he learned that the work had been done. Long Chengjiang discussed with the gun captain to let another person be his assistant. Of course, the gun captain agreed readily, but smiled in his heart: I have been pretending to be so hard-working these two days just to prevent you from finding out too soon. Your brother followed me, and I may kill him when I go back!
Seeing the gun captain agreed, Long Chenghai called a young man named Wuzai over. The gun captain looked at him and saw that Wuzai was at least 1.8 meters tall, with sharp edges on his face. He smiled very reservedly and modestly. Long Chenghai introduced him, "Wuzai is the only college graduate among my brothers. He graduated from a prestigious university, majoring in economics and management. Please take good care of him, brothers."
The spearman extended his hand to Wu Zai, shook it, and said with a generous smile: "I am older than you, so just call me Fourth Brother. This time you come with me mainly to start a business, and you must make full use of what you have learned. By the way, what is your real name?" Wu Zai replied: "My last name is Wu, and my given name is Jian, which means healthy Jian. Fourth Brother, please take good care of me."
The spear master smiled at the Long brothers and said, "This kid is interesting, he is indeed a college student. I, a silly farmer, will not disappoint you two with such great help!"
Long Chengjiang said with a smile: "Brother, you are too modest. You have a lot of knowledge. You should help the younger generation. Wuzi, you will listen to your fourth brother from now on. Do you understand?"
Wuzai was tall, but he was sweet-mouthed and smart. He quickly bowed to the spearman and said, "Fourth brother, from now on you are my big brother. You can talk to me no matter what happens."
The spear master laughed and said, "There is no job that will make you suffer. You just need to follow me and do the right thing. This will not be in vain for the knowledge you have learned." He turned to the Long brothers and said, "Okay, things are almost done. Two seniors..." Long Chengjiang waved his hand to interrupt the spear master: "Siqing, don't be so formal. What's the front and back? We are brothers, just call you Brother Jiang and Brother Hai. I have been numb all over these past two days."
The spear chief was not polite either, he thought to himself: You are smart, old man, you know that I mean this when I call you senior, do you really think you have that ability?
"Well, Brother Jiang, Brother Hai, we'll take our leave now. I'll start working right away when I get back and set up the stall first. I'll have to take care of you two in the future. Wuzi, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Wuzi was not a local, so he came and went without any worries. Then the gun captain took Wuzi out of the church. Watching the two of them leave, Long Chenghai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Finally, we got rid of this plague god!"
Long Chengjiang said thoughtfully: "Why do I feel that I can't see through this kid any more?"
Long Chenghai also smiled bitterly and told Long Chengjiang about the incident between the rifle captain and the foreigner. Long Chengjiang was a little surprised: "He can speak foreign languages? It seems that it is not that simple. Chenghai, it seems that we have misjudged him this time."
Long Chenghai said disapprovingly: "This person is just like this by nature. No matter how knowledgeable he is, he is just a farmer. This bad nature in his bones cannot be changed."
Long Chengjiang shook his head, looking a little old. He was less than sixty years old, but his old age was already exposed. This was because he spent too much time thinking. "Don't underestimate him. This man is not simple. Chenghai, you should send a letter to the two brothers in Province Y immediately and tell them to do everything they can to keep an eye on him! I always feel uneasy. Humph, I hope he doesn't play any tricks on me!"
Long Chenghai said with a smile: "Brother, you are too cautious. It is not easy to test him. Why not let him kill one first?" Long Chengjiang said: "No, letting him do it so soon will only arouse greater suspicion. Let him enjoy it for a while. When the money is almost spent, he will do it himself without us urging him. This way it will not disrupt our plan. Don't provoke him unless it is absolutely necessary!"
Long Chengjiang glared at his brother sternly: "Remember my words, don't mess with him unless it's absolutely necessary!"
As soon as the gun captain left with Wu Zai, he called Zhang Liqiu. He sent text messages whenever he had time these days. It was really a bit like being in love. He originally planned to take a plane, but Zhang Liqiu didn't allow him to take a plane, saying it was too wasteful. The gun captain resisted the fact that he was already a millionaire and didn't tell Zhang Liqiu. In the end, he decided to take the train. Maybe he could meet one or two beautiful women. There was plenty of time, so he could pick them up as he wanted. He was on the plane for two or three hours before he arrived. It was boring.
After the two arrived at the train station, Wu Zai went to a ticket seller to get two soft sleeper tickets. The gunman pretended to be fainted and didn't ask how much money he paid. He looked like it should be like this, but he thought to himself: Damn, two soft sleeper tickets cost almost a thousand yuan. I'm not that stupid. Wu Zai didn't take it seriously. As a younger brother, you have to serve your big brother well, otherwise how could you get such a good job? Wu Zai has been with Long Chenghai for two years and has gained his full trust. Long Chenghai is usually low-key and basically doesn't interact with other gangs, but many people don't dare to provoke Brother Hai easily. In Province C, everyone knows the legendary story of Long Zhenbang sweeping the underworld with a group of people. Although Long Zhenbang is gone now, Long Chenghai is not a good person. On the surface, he doesn't do any illegal activities, but he has a surprising amount of money. No one knows where Long Chenghai gets the money. The dozens of younger brothers under him are all young people who can fight and talk. They opened several hair salons and karaoke bars. On the surface, everything is calm, but no one dares to test the depth of this gang easily. During the crackdown on pornography and illegal publications, they were also fined and ordered to suspend business for rectification, but they reopened soon after. I was not too angry, but my brothers received a salary every month, at least three thousand yuan a month.
The two found a bunk, and there was an old couple inside. The gun captain was a little disappointed, and out of boredom he chatted with Wuzai: "Wuzai, forget it, I'll just call you Xiaojian, Wuzai sounds really bad."
Wu Jian smiled and said, "You can call me whatever you want, Fourth Brother."
The gunner asked, "Where are you from? Who are your family members?"
Wu Jian said, "My hometown is S Province. My parents are both civil servants. I have an older sister who is a doctor." When the gun captain heard about the older sister, he immediately became interested: "Oh, S Province is adjacent to Y Province. Why don't you speak your hometown dialect, haha." This sentence was said in dialect. Wu Jian's eyes lit up and he also said in dialect: "I didn't expect that Fourth Brother's accent is similar to ours."
The gun chief laughed and said, "The local dialect sounds better. How old is your sister? Is she married?"
Wu Jian said: "I'm 27 years old. I've been in a relationship once before, and I've been single ever since."
The spearman asked, "What about you? Why did you come to Province C and follow Brother Hai?"
Wu Jian smiled bitterly and said, "I just graduated from university and was planning to take the civil service exam, but I had a conflict with someone and seriously injured him, so I had to run away."
"Oh, so that's how it is! Then how many years have you not been home?"
"It's been two years. When I first got out, I didn't dare to look for a job in a big company. Other small companies don't pay much."
The gun captain asked, "Did your family try to settle the matter privately?"
Wu Jian had a bitter look on his face: "He is the deputy mayor's son." The spearman sighed and said: "Then there is nothing we can do. Alas, it is destined by fate. Don't be too sad. From now on, whoever has Fourth Brother will have you. When I have time, I will think of a way to help you change your identity. It would be best if we can solve this matter once and for all."
Wu Jian smiled and said, "Brother Hai has thought of a way, but the word has been spread that if the money is less than 500,000, no discussion. Where can I get 500,000? I don't want to go to jail, so I have to drag it out like this."
The spear chief consoled him, "Don't worry. There is always a way out. In fact, going to jail is no big deal. Fourth Brother got out of jail himself." Wu Jian said, "When you came, I and several of Brother Hai's confidants knew about it. We all admire Fourth Brother. When we heard that you were Brother Bang's disciple, we were even more respectful. Today, Brother Hai called me to go with you, and the others were so envious that their eyes turned red, haha."
The spear leader was very proud and happy that Long Zhenbang had such a great reputation. It was worth it for me to be his disciple. I would burn incense for him when I got back . Haha, it would be unreasonable not to use so much money to make him happy. Thinking of the Long brothers again, my heart tightened. These two guys were really insidious. The young man in front of me looked purer than a virgin. Who knew what was in his stomach?
So they changed the topic and started discussing the next activities. The old couple were probably from the south. When they heard the conversation between the gun captain and Wu Jian, they looked confused and didn't understand at all. The gun captain secretly laughed. Yang Zhong was from Fujian. The gun captain learned Minnan dialect from him, but he could only say a few curse words. He could understand some of it, but it was too fast and he couldn't understand it. The old couple was obviously traveling to Y Province. When they saw the gun captain and the other two got in the car, they started chatting. They wanted to ask but were embarrassed to interrupt them. The old woman was so anxious that she pushed the old man several times and asked him to find out about the situation in Y Province.
