Chapter 238: Reunion
Li Tianchou looked at this group of people, and his heart was mixed, maybe in the near future, he would stand with them in the real sense, advance and retreat together, and even die.
Many of them are stunts and unruly, which Li Tianchou knows very well. And except for a few people such as Peng Weihua, most of the others he is not familiar with, and some have never met, so it is very difficult to really integrate into them in a short period of time.
But no matter who you are, as long as you are in this assembly, you must obey the overall situation, and those who do not obey must be transformed. Well, it's transformation, according to what Uncle Geng once said, it should be understandable in this way. Li Tianchou repeated this thought in his heart, and resolutely turned around and walked into the backyard.
The courtyard in front of it was a lot more lively all of a sudden, and basically everyone who could come back was there, and even Nie Tao and Zhang Wen, who had not shown up, also appeared in front of everyone.
After a while, everyone wanted to go to the backyard to see Uncle Geng, but without exception they were stopped by the sea bald. The reason is not appropriate, but it is also reasonable, there are many people who come back, and there are a lot of meals to prepare, so you have to help with the work first. In order to increase the persuasiveness, the sea bald man moved his character this time, and brought out a few jars of old wine to show off, and everyone applauded, so the yard was even more chaotic, and the so-called help was better than not helping, and there was a lot of laughter, mixed with a few words of women's scolding from time to time.
After a long time, the sky was already dark, and Li Tianchou helped Uncle Geng out of the backyard, followed by limping east. The appearance of the three of them at the same time made everyone stunned, especially when Uncle Geng appeared in front of everyone standing for the first time after falling ill, everyone was not only stunned, but also happy.
Uncle Geng's body improved, this was everyone's common reaction, Peng Weihua was the first to shout excitedly, "Uncle!", followed by Xiao Song rushing over with tears of joy and choking on Uncle Geng's shoulder.
"Alright, girl. I'm hungry, can I start eating?" Uncle Geng patted Xiao Song's head lovingly, his tone was calm, and he couldn't tell that he was sick.
Everyone came over to meet Uncle Geng one by one, and Uncle Hai's daughter-in-law had already begun to direct everyone to move the table. In the courtyard, three large round tables are arranged in the shape of a zigzag, and all the people sit together, which is naturally very lively, this is the most complete gathering of car dealers that Li Tianchou has ever seen, except for those few mysterious doctors, all of them are here. Of course, there are also one or two fresh faces, which are the first time to meet.
Uncle Geng and Hai Bald sat side by side at the top, next to Li Tianchou on the left, Peng Weihua on the right, and Zhu Lei and Qi Baozhu again. This order of seating was arranged by the sea bald man himself. Among all the people present, as long as their heads are not smeared, they can see that this order is very exquisite.
Many people looked at Li Tianchou, whether they were familiar with it or not, whether they were planning to meet for the first time, and they all guessed the mystery. According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the status of the left hand is higher than that of the right hand, which means that Li Tianchou's status is higher than that of Peng Weihua, and the most important thing is that this is not a casual sitting, but Wei Dahai personally designated it, and Uncle Geng acquiesced.
This is interesting, everyone looks at Li Tianchou with their left eye and Peng Weihua with their right eye, both of them are serious, and the slight difference lies in the information revealed in the eyes of the two. In contrast, Peng Weihua was a little more unhappy.
Slowly, everyone's expressions began to change. There are those who continue to speculate deeply, such as Zhu Lei and Nie Tao, there are those who are light and indifferent, such as Qi Baozhu, Wen Hui, You Shilong, etc., and there are those who are not convinced and are upset for Peng Weihua, such as Liangzi, Broad Bean, Zhang Wen and others, and then there are those who are at a loss, that is, several young people under the bald man and Xiang Dong and Ah Wei.
During the process of serving, Uncle Geng and the sea bald man kept smiling, occasionally bowing their heads and saying a few jokes, just like when everyone was together many years ago, there was no difference, but they all saw everyone's expressions in their eyes one by one.
has been stared at by everyone for a long time, Li Tianchou's heart is also a little hairy, and all kinds of eyes are swept around, like a searchlight, you can't hide. There were a few bright lights, very dazzling, and very uncomfortable, full of provocation and ridicule.
Li Tianchou can understand all this, this is everyone's most normal reaction, and he is fully prepared for this, so he is just a little uncomfortable. And he knows very well that this is just an appetizer before the big play, and that the challenge ahead will be turbulent in the near future.
Of course, if it weren't for Uncle Geng's repeated knocking before, he didn't know if he would still be sitting so steadily in this place at this moment.
The toast at the opening ceremony was naturally said by Uncle Geng, everyone thought it was a pre-war mobilization, and they were about to have a big fight with Sun Guizi.
But to everyone's great surprise, Uncle Geng's speech was very simple, only a few sentences, but he didn't mention Sun Kidnapper at all. But the weight and meaning of these few words shocked everyone, and then they thought about it.
The first sentence is on the table, and I don't think about it, just to find a reason to eat together, so I must say: celebrate the largest reunion in recent years;
The second sentence is the blockbuster news, Uncle Geng announced the resumption and re-registration of Yuxing Company, most of the people here were employees of the original Yuxing Company, at least nominally, so in principle, it is still the same. The new Yuxing Company pursues the principle of freedom to come and go, and if you are unwilling to do it, you can go to Uncle Geng within three days to explain the situation.
Everyone was in an uproar, and couldn't help but think of the excitement and glory of Yuxing Company back then, and more or less expressed nostalgia.
Yuxing Company was developed from an entertainment hub, which was founded by Uncle Geng, and the original purpose was to let everyone have something to eat, something to do, and money to make. But the subsequent development and uncontrollability made Uncle Geng unexpected.
In order to let more people have something to do and have enough to eat, Uncle Geng decided to take the entertainment hub as the center and develop to other entertainment and catering industries with low thresholds.
On the surface, this way of starting is not much different from mahjong, Sun Guizi and others, but the essence is different. The purpose of mahjong and others is first to make money, and they can do whatever it takes, but Uncle Geng's first thought was to let these energetic rough embryos have something to do, don't make trouble everywhere in a day, in addition to this, he also set some rough rules, not touching drugs is the strictest one.
With the continuous development and growth, Yuxing Company covers almost all the industries of eating, drinking and playing, and of course, it also involves a lot of gray things. The rest doesn't matter, but the repeated drug trade is the biggest headache for Uncle Geng, which not only hurts nature and reason, but also easily leads to violent conflicts between gangs. For this reason, he once killed a lot of people and fired several brothers with his own hands, which basically stopped the unhealthy trend of drug trafficking in the field.
When Yuxing Company was at its peak, there were twenty or thirty subordinate restaurants, bars, nightclubs, KTVs, etc., which could not be said to be making money every day at that time, but it was also very profitable.
Many of the people sitting here were middle-level managers back then, although they were only nominal, but there were also five or six people, and the small life was very nourishing. Of course, there is also a price to be paid for this, and the main work content and technical difficulties are to fight and protect the territory, which is also a daily homework. No way, if you don't rob others, others will come and rob you, because it's not just you who have to eat and get rich.
The good times didn't last long, and after less than two years of comfortable days, Uncle Geng suddenly got involved in the very fierce gangster fight in SZ City at that time, and he didn't expect that this involvement would be difficult to extricate himself. Revenge and being avenged have become the main theme, and after years of fighting and killing, the rough embryos who had just looked a little bit were instantly beaten back to their original shape, and Uncle Geng was tired of running for his life, and finally had the idea of retreating.
With Uncle Geng's sudden announcement of his withdrawal from the rivers and lakes, Yuxing Company finally became a small Yuxing car dealership, and many industries were sold in a very short period of time, and then disappeared completely. After that, of course, everyone was scattered, walking, and the lively Yuxing company faded out of people's field of vision in a very quiet way, and suddenly disappeared in the big dye vat of the rivers and lakes, and not even a blister bubbled.
Now that Uncle Geng is going to reorganize the company, does that mean that he is going to re-emerge in the real sense, how can everyone not be excited? But it is somewhat strange to suddenly announce this matter during his serious illness, is it that Uncle Geng's body is getting better so quickly?
When everyone was not sure, Uncle Geng said the third sentence, as if he had seen through everyone's thoughts, he announced that he would soon go out for treatment, and would not participate in the formation and daily management of the company, and would be appointed by Uncle Hai as the consultant of the new Yuxing company, and the family would announce it three days later.
The third sentence is the key, which immediately caused an uproar, everyone is a rough person, and there is no habit of talking to each other, so the discussion is everywhere, and the voice is very loud, and in an instant, the courtyard becomes noisy and shouting, until Uncle Geng waved his hand continuously, and the voice was suppressed.
There are two sensitive points in this that make everyone's eyes widen. The first is whether Uncle Geng's announcement that he will not participate in the new company's affairs means that he has completely withdrawn, and the reason for treating the disease seems to be impeccable, and many people feel that they have lost their backbone, and it is difficult to accept it emotionally for a while.
But the main point is the second point, who will be the head of the new company? Why should it be announced three days later? Many people have looked at Li Tianchou and Peng Weihua, hoping to find the answer from the faces of these two people, but it is obviously unreliable.
Just when everyone was still dazed, Uncle Geng said the last sentence before the banquet, "No matter what, I will always watch the growth and development of Yuxing Company, and I hope you will not let me down." Now it's time to eat. ”
"Uncle, I have something to say. A series of unexpected news coupled with being stared at by everyone's eyes, Peng Weihua was a little dizzy, and he couldn't help but raise his hand high.
"I said, now it's time to eat. If you have something to say, come to my room after dinner. Uncle Geng unceremoniously blocked Peng Weihua back.
