Sima Qian and Du Feng are childhood playmates, in the same community of the Radio and Television Bureau. Du Feng's parents are a deputy director of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television, while Sima Qian is the child of an ordinary worker.

In the same community, they are elementary school classmates, plus the two have similar personalities, Du Feng has a lot of ideas since he was a child, and he is a military advisor, Sima Qian looks like a big brother, all the friends who play with him, no one can be bullied, they are in the fourth grade of primary school, two students in the sixth grade, robbed Du Feng's pocket money, Du Feng was outnumbered when he resisted, and was beaten by two seniors who were a head above him. I was beaten", Sima Qian didn't say a word, and directly found the two seniors who were still triumphant in the playground with a brick, and then asked, "Is it them?" After getting Du Feng's affirmative answer, he directly slammed the brick at the two seniors.

Those two, who were originally children, saw this scene, and immediately cried in fright, forgetting to run away, until they were beaten to the ground, Sima Qian did not stop, and shouted to the onlookers with a domineering face, "My classmate in front of Sima, no one can move!"

Because of this incident, Sima Qian suffered a good meal of stick stew from his father, but at this point, Sima Qian's reputation for being brave and ruthless has spread, until he graduated from junior high school, Sima Qian and Du Feng are classmates, Sima Qian's surroundings can always unite some naughty students, Sima Qian is righteous, never takes the initiative to bully people, but never allows the people around him to be bullied, so his friends call him big brother.

After graduating from junior high school, Du Feng was admitted to high school to continue his studies. And Sima Qian's grades can't even talk about passing, let alone going on to higher education. Anyway, he didn't want to go to school, and after graduation, he simply wandered around at home, and later, he asked someone to find a technical school, let him learn technology, and even scolded the technical school to finish, and asked someone to enter the Beihua Huaguang TV Factory, at that time, young people, all hope to have a class, earn some money, so as to do something they like. Sima Qian, as an ordinary workshop worker, worked in a TV factory for several years, although he was also warned and punished for fighting with others in the middle, but on the whole, he was relatively peaceful.

At this time, Du Feng, after graduating from high school, entered the radio and television system, worked in the office of the radio station, the two still lived in the same community, although they could still meet from time to time, but there was no way to fight together, but the feelings of the two people were not diluted by time at all.

With the spring breeze of reform in the eighties waking up the land of Northeast China, some people with fast brains took the lead in quitting their jobs and going to the sea "not doing their jobs", and they all made a lot of money, and there was a gap in the income level of the surrounding partners, which made Sima Qian, who only had an income of a few dozen yuan a month, restless. Although he threatened to sever the relationship between father and son, he did not let him compromise in the end, he resolutely quit his job, took the little money he had accumulated over the years, borrowed some from a friend, and opened a soda shop near People's Square. After that, he won a beverage agent through a friend, and with the signboard, the daily profit was even more considerable. Brother Sima, who has money, calls friends every day, and is so unhappy.

Under the influence of Sima Qian, Du Feng also opened a shop, and in a few years, he also made a lot of money. But Du Feng knows how to manage money better than Sima Qian, and his money is either lent out or invested in other small businesses.

Sima Qian's happiness only lasted for five years, and he lost all his family property because he was obsessed with football, and owed hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, he had no choice but to hide in Tibet every day, and only Du Feng and other brothers knew where he was every day, although he owed Du Feng tens of thousands of yuan, but Du Feng still gave him a few hundred yuan from time to time, so that he could eat enough, but he definitely did not support him to try his luck.

Due to his low level of education, Sima went to look for a job, but he also ran into walls everywhere. Just in time for him to have a classmate, has been doing fruit business in the fruit wholesale market, and the classmate who has accumulated a little bit went to the south with his sister to develop, and the fruit stall left behind was exchanged, Sima Qian had nothing to do anyway, so he asked Du Feng and a few other brothers to make up some money, and cashed this fruit shop, planning to do fruit wholesale business honestly.

The day after he took over the fruit shop, a gang of ruffians found him, who had been entrenched in the fruit wholesale market for nearly half a year, living on extortion and charging some so-called "management fees" Due to the chaotic market management at that time, these fierce ruffians were given room to survive, and as a fruit wholesaler businessman, he would rather spend some small money to settle things and calm people, and no one wanted to cause trouble, which also fueled the arrogance of those people.

However, this matter fell on Sima Qian, he couldn't bear it, and for those who came to find trouble, he just said "no money". These people, who have always been arrogant, did not pay Sima Qian any attention at all, and warned him that if he could not pay the "management fee" within three days, he would be allowed to get out of the fruit wholesale market.

The three-day deadline is coming in a blink of an eye.

At five o'clock in the morning, Boss Hu came to Sima's stall with more than a dozen people, each holding a "pickaxe" in his hand, looking like he would smash the store without giving money.

"Brother, it's time to pay back the money you owe. Otherwise, my brother is not easy to do?" Boss Hu's face was domineering.

"When do I owe you money, I don't want to cause trouble, and you don't mess with me. Sima Qian didn't care.

", then I can't control these brothers under me!" Boss Hu squinted at Sima Qian, as if waiting for Sima Qian's final answer.

", no money!" Sima Qian's answer was like a fuse, completely detonating Boss Hu.

"Brothers, him" With a greeting, more than a dozen people rushed into existence and began to beat people, and the guy who sold the goods was so frightened that he squatted in the corner with his head in his hands, and he was hit a few times.

Although Sima rarely fought directly in those years, but the wildness in his bones, so that he saw this kind of scene when his blood boiled, he was calm-headed and picked up the prepared pistol from the corner of the wall, and stabbed Hu Lao's stomach fiercely, this move was unexpected by Hu Lao, he didn't expect Sima Qian to face so many people, and dare to resist, and as soon as he made a move, he was a dead hand, subconsciously turned sideways, so that the head of the prickle in Sima Qian's hand was on his stomach, and a long hole was opened, and it did not hurt the internal organs。 Sima Qian didn't chase him, he stabbed a gun, and attacked the little minions who were smashing the store, although there were many people on the other side, but they just usually bullied and bullied honest people, and when they met really desperate characters, they were all scared, and they fled outside while bluffing.

Looking at the mess in the house, Sima Qian's eyes were completely red, and he chased him out of the door with a gun, at this time, although Boss Hu shouted "kill him", but he no longer had the confidence just now. And Sima Qian is an absolute expert in fighting, in his eyes, there has always been an enemy, the weapon in his hand only beckons one person, no matter how many hits he has taken on his body, he will carry it to the death, until the enemy in his eyes falls, he is choosing the next target, or specifically attacking this person.

After a while, three people were stabbed by Sima Qian's spear and fell to the ground, although the injuries were not fatal, but they were already frightened. When Sima Qian stood majestically in front of a few wounded people like a victorious general, a few injured little minions were already so frightened that they almost knelt down and begged for mercy. Then, he ignored them and went back to the house to clean up his stall.

Since this incident happened in the morning, and it was also a relief for the long-bullied fruit vendors, no one reported the incident. Sima Qian thought the matter was over. Just open the door honestly and do business. The fruit merchants in the market had a very good attitude towards Sima Qian, and even introduced him to some customers. They hope that with Sima's protection, they will no longer be bullied by those hooligans.

One morning a week later, more than 40 people surrounded Sima Qian's fruit shop, headed by Hu Boss, and that day Sima Qian had something to do, did not come to the wholesale market, Hu Boss saw that Sima Qian did not block, in a fit of anger, let people smash the fruit shop, injured the salesman in the store, and threatened that whoever talked to Sima Qian would not be able to get along with him, and the consequences would be the same as Sima Qian.

Sima Qian, who received the clerk's page, hurried back to the wholesale market, looked at the smashed fruit shop, behaved surprisingly quietly, and paid the clerk's salary to let him hurry home, and then disappeared.

Three days after the incident, Hu Boss saw that Sima Qian's shop had not been opened, thinking that Sima Qian was frightened by him, so he still took more than a dozen people to show off his power in the wholesale market and charged "management fees" to fruit merchants. It seems that everything is back to its usual rhythm.

However, Boss Hu did not have a long reign, he was destroyed by Sima Qian, who had been listening to the news, after learning that Boss Hu appeared, the next day, he summoned the little brothers who had fought with him before, these brothers of his are also some idle people in the society, usually the same trouble, not good, life is very down, as soon as they hear Sima Qian's call, they are eager to try, because Sima Qian has always been very righteous, and it is good for the brothers.

When Boss Hu saw Sima Qian walking towards him with a group of people from a distance, the defense line in his heart had collapsed, and the shadow left by Sima Qian's gun still couldn't be erased. But for the sake of face, you can't just escape. So, a scuffle began, Sima Qian led a group of people, almost all of them were outlaws, so in just five minutes, Hu Boss's "men and horses" collapsed, Hu Boss hurriedly fled the scene with a body of injuries, Sima Qian at this moment, seems to have completely found the majestic feeling a few years ago, and threatened in the fruit wholesale market that as long as he sees Hu Boss once in the market, he will be killed once. These words reached the ears of Boss Hu, and although he was not convinced, he still didn't have the courage to fight Sima Qian again.

Afterwards, Boss Hu found someone in the middle to say that he wanted the matter, but Sima Qian's attitude was more resolute, and his fruit store did not have to pay compensation, but Boss Hu was absolutely not allowed to appear in the fruit wholesale market, otherwise, he would be beaten once he saw it. Boss Hu was also frightened, and when he faced Sima again, he didn't dare to do it.

As a result, the era of "Hu Boss" in the fruit market came to an end, and then entered the era of "Sima Qian".

Although in the eyes of ordinary people, these brothers in front of Sima are not much nobler than Boss Hu, at least these people will not smash and rob open flames and openly blackmail. Sima Qian has his own style of play. In any fruit wholesale market, whoever sells fruit shops or stalls must give priority to him, otherwise, he does not dare to guarantee that the newcomers can continue to work here, and no one dares to pry the goods at a low price when they come to his store, otherwise, they will also be troubled by some unknown people.

In this way, in less than a year, Sima Qian led the general brothers, and had more than a dozen fruit shops and fruit wholesale stalls, and the people who came to him to buy goods have always been relatively stable, and there is no such thing as being pryed down by other peers at low prices. But Sima Qian's fruit shop never takes the second place as good, and will not do anything to raise prices. Occasionally, some unwitting ruffian hooligan will come to trouble, and he will step in to solve the problem. Therefore, although his business is a bit domineering, his reputation in the fruit wholesale market is much better than that of Boss Hu.

In two years, Sima Qian paid off the debts he owed before, and his small life became more and more comfortable, and his income of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year was relatively high in Beihua, and a group of brothers followed him, and they all had a fixed income, and Sima Qian's reputation as "big brother" became more and more famous.

However, Sima's fate always seems to be like a roller coaster, and there will be big ups and downs after big ups.

After a fruit wholesale market ended, a few brothers had nothing to do, so they went to a hot pot restaurant to drink, since Sima Qian completely quit gambling, he became addicted to drinking, and every time he drank during that time, he would get drunk. Many northerners drank and went into battle shirtless, shouting five and six, which caused dissatisfaction at the table next to them, and the seven or eight people at that table were also shirtless, revealing various tattoos.

The reason why the northerners fought was simple:

"What are you looking at?"

"What are you doing?"

A hand-to-hand fight of 20 people started immediately, when Sima Qian was already seven points drunk, accidentally hit on the shoulder by the opponent's wine bottle, the burst wine bottle scratched the ear, the blood was just first, it woke up the "small universe" in Sima Qian's body, and joined the battle group with the broken wine bottle, or the old way of fighting, staring at a person to knock down and then say, but, under the influence of alcohol, the hand was too heavy, causing the other party to be seriously injured and left disabled.

When a large number of police officers came to the scene, Sima Qian was still chasing the opponent around with a wine bottle, and was arrested with a murder weapon. In order to be able to give a light sentence and need to appease all the injured family members, Sima Qian's trustee cashed out the business, added all his savings, and still did not settle the matter, and finally the fifth brother who was mixed with him sold his house, except for a sum of money, so that the family would not make trouble again.

After some running around by the brothers, Sima Qian was sentenced to 5 years in prison. Since Sima Qian resisted most of the responsibility, the other brothers did not impose too heavy a punishment.

During the five years that Sima Qian was imprisoned, Du Feng visited several times and saved a lot of food expenses. The connection between them has not been broken.

When Sima Qian was released from prison, the first thing he saw was Du Feng and Lao Wu, Du Feng at that time was already the director of the advertising center of the Beihua Evening News, and Lao Wu opened his own small restaurant, and the business was not good or bad, barely maintaining. Dongye took Sima Qian directly to his hotel, including food and accommodation.

And Sima Qian has nothing to do to help in the restaurant, sometimes, get up early and go to the market with the fifth child to buy vegetables, in the vegetable market, Sima Qian found that there is always a group of people handing out leaflets to the old man and the old lady, and it seems that these old people are still more interested. Sima Qian inquired carefully. It turns out that these people are selling health care products, selling them in the morning market, and also giving some free gifts for the elderly to buy their products. According to Sima Qian, the sales of health care products are not bad, and the elderly are still relatively recognized.

Afterwards, at a dinner, Sima Qian asked Du Feng about the health care products.

Du Feng said that there are a group of people in Beihua who are making health care products, but they are not on a large scale, and there are more small fights, and in some provinces in the south, health care products are doing better, with great publicity and amazing sales, but the local market does not seem to have that scale.

Sima Qian vaguely smelled business opportunities from Du Feng's words.

A month later, Sima Qian found Du Feng.

"Lao Du, I want to be a pharmaceutical company and sell health care products!"

"Got it figured?"

"Well, Lao Wu helped me borrow some money, the company has been established, and people are recruiting!"

"What can I do, I have some money in my hand, how much do you use?"

"It's not about money, I'm trying to advertise in the newspaper!"

"Okay, I'll do it here, I'll guarantee you, can you settle the bill once a month?"

"A month, that's just great, aren't you afraid that I will lose it and run away?" Sima Qian looked at Du Feng with a smile.

", what are you afraid of, I'll help you pay if you run away!"

"Okay, brother, I'll look for you in a few days!"

Sima Qian has always been vigorous and resolute, and he can do wherever he wants.

A week later, Sima Qian found Du Feng with the prepared manuscript and chose kidney tonic products. started advertising in the Beihua Evening News, with 120,000 advertisements in the first month, and lost nearly 50,000 yuan that month.

"Lao Du, this month's advertising fee, drag it for me for a few days, it's not so ideal!" Sima Qian was a little embarrassed to find Du Feng.

"It's okay, next month. Du Feng didn't take it seriously.

Because the advertising of Beihua Evening News was not good at that time, and the effect was average, Sima Qian's placement was an absolute big customer for Beihua Evening News. Therefore, Du Feng also fought for some layouts to be given to Sima Qian.

The advertisement continued to be pushed, and at the end of the second month, Sima Qian found Du Feng with his pocket on his back.

"Lao Du, I'm sending you money!"

"What's the matter, you're making money?"

"Advertising costs and personnel expenses were all deducted, and I earned 150,000 yuan. ”

"Damn, make money like this?"

"I'm looking for an agent in the three eastern provinces who have a relationship, and many people are looking for me to get the goods this month, and there are many people who want to buy them!"

Sima Qian's business, the speed and degree of popularity, he himself did not expect.

Since then, until now, although the health care products industry is blooming, Sima Qian has always been the leading brother in the sales of health care products in Beihua and even the entire North Province.

After listening to Du Feng's introduction, Huang Dong had a more comprehensive understanding of Sima Qian, "Impulsive and righteous, but good at seizing opportunities, he is a character!"

However, Du Feng's understatement of "small favor" was indeed a relief in the snow for Sima Qian, who was exhausted at that time, no wonder he was so grateful to Du Feng.
