Chapter 78: The Consciousness of the Elders (Asking for Collections and Recommending Votes)
Meal.
Lao Zhu was dragged by the proprietress to wash the dishes.
Wang Qiang drank a little too much, sat quietly and listened to Lao Yao's bragging, anyway, it was all wine talk.
Lao Yao bragged about how powerful he was back then, how many people he fought in Qinglonggang in 80 years, and how many people he knew on the road, he blew half a sound and smacked his lips and said to Wang Qiang: "Eh, Xiao Wang, it's okay for you to make a game room, but pay attention to a few little red guys here, who are young and don't do their jobs to make trouble." ”
Wang Qiang responded: "I know. ”
Sun Weixing nodded and said: "You should really pay attention, a few years ago, I was still selling radios, and a few little red guys came to the door to collect protection money, what do you say about the Qinglong Gang, the Qinglong Gang is all whitewashing, how can you accept that kind of little red guy?" So, I'm definitely not happy, I was beaten up, and in the end it was Brother Yao who came out for me, this kind of thing is a bit embarrassing to say, but if you want to open a game room with Brother Zhu, you must not avoid meeting those people, Brother Zhu is nothing when he is there, they know, and they dare not act rashly, if Brother Zhu is not there to collect protection money, you remember not to be stubborn, scatter a few circles of smoke, it is really not good to give some money first, turn around and say to Brother Zhu, he will come forward to settle the matter. ”
Wang Qiang was surprised: "Is there really a protection fee?"
"What are you lying to?" Lao Sun took out his cigarette and said, "It's okay to lose some money, those little red guys are out of proportion, it's not good to break you." ”
Zhu Xiaofeng said blindly: "Yes, Shang Hai didn't imagine that it was peaceful, when I was in junior high school, one of my classmates had his leg broken. ”
Wang Qiang remembered it in his heart, "Cheng, remember, if I really meet those people, I will definitely know each other, as the saying goes, harmony makes money, I will not be stubborn." He has heard a lot about the collection of protection money, but he didn't expect that there would be similar things in an international metropolis like Shanghai, his actual age has already passed the battle of will, and his mentality is very peaceful, as long as it does not touch the fundamental interests, Wang Qiang will not vomit anything with others.
After a while, you don't have to worry about the ruffians and hooligans, in my memory, a mighty campaign-style strike-hard is about to kick off a month later, and the strike-hard hurricane swept the entire land of the republic, and everywhere you go, car bandits, road blockers, river thieves, murderers, gangsters, ruffians, and forest tyrants are all frightened, because the strike-hard is to crack down on the activities of criminals in accordance with the law, for example, in 83 strike-hard, someone was sentenced to death for stealing one yuan, and there was a Yanjing man for grabbing hats, He was sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve by the court for hooliganism for smashing the glass, which was very severe.
Although the 94 Strike Hard Strike is not as severe as the 83 Strike Hard, in a sense, if a ruffian dares to touch the tiger whiskers of the law, he will inevitably not be able to turn over in this life.
It's a good thing, because this crackdown has made public order several times better all of a sudden.
Lao Yao drank a little big tongue, "Actually, Lao Zhu and I can talk here, or thanks to Boss Wang's blessing, otherwise do you think Lao Zhu's hotel and my clothing store can open peacefully, and no one will make trouble and collect protection money?"
Hearing this title for the second time, Wang Qiang was curious: "Boss Wang, is he very capable?" The last time I heard Boss Zhu say that he could afford to use LV bags, he still remembers that there are people who can afford LV bags in this era, so how rich is that?
"Boss Wang is a big man with hands and eyes, who dares not to give him face in black and white?" Speaking of Boss Wang, Lao Yao was in awe, as if mentioning this name was very sacred, he sighed: "If it wasn't for me and Lao Zhu who saved his life, how could I have the opportunity to meet such a big man?" In Qinglong Port in 80 years, I still remember that Boss Wang was chased and cut by someone who was mistaken. Lao Zhu and Boss Wang had a relationship, knowing that it was a big shot, so he desperately rescued it, since then Boss Wang has taken our brothers to heart, often looking for us to drink tea and chat, Lao Zhu I don't want to say this, Xiaofeng did not get into high school and only asked Boss Wang to solve it, he was stunned and refused to go, my daughter is not enough to score the same line, let Boss Wang say hello, have gone to Shanghai Middle School to report military training. ”
"My dad said that Uncle Wang had helped my family enough and didn't want to trouble people anymore. Zhu Xiaofeng said helplessly, and then looked at Wang Qiang, "The Uncle Wang I'm talking about is not you." ”
Of course, Wang Qiang knew that he was not talking about himself.
Sun Weixing sighed with emotion: "Boss Wang is very nostalgic, when Brother Zhu failed to do business and owed a lot of debts, he still paid to help Brother Zhu repay the debt, maybe because of this, Brother Zhu is unwilling to trouble Boss Wang anymore." ”
Wang Qiang was a little relaxed and happy by what they said, and he couldn't help but want to see what kind of character this powerful Boss Wang was, but he also thought about it, knowing that he was not qualified to contact the big man at that level.
chatting and chatting, everyone brought the topic to Wang Qiang again.
Lao Yao said: "Originally, I shouldn't have asked, just pure curiosity, what are you doing? ”
Zhu Xiaofeng's eyes widened, "Yes, Uncle Wang, I'm also curious." ”
Even if he drank too much, Wang Qiang still knew what to say and what not to say, and he mentioned it slightly, "I, make electronic products, game consoles, walkmans, etc., and make a little money." ”
"These are all expensive goods, and they are still a little money?" said Lao Sun Le: "Then I didn't pick up the junk when I repaired the electrical appliances?"
The speaker had no intention of listening, Zhu Xiaofeng was greedy, and pointed slightly: "The Walkman sells hundreds in the mall, and when I go to school, I will see that my classmates have it, so I want my parents to buy one for me, but they don't agree, and they dislike the price is too expensive." ”
Wang Qiang scolded with a smile: "You kid want me to give you one, right?"
It happened that Lao Zhu and the proprietress ran out of it, heard them talking, and asked what to send.
Zhu Xiaofeng couldn't hide his words as a young man, and took the initiative to say that he wanted a Walkman.
As a result, he was scolded by Lao Zhu, "How old do you want to be a Walkman?
The proprietress also reprimanded her son, "Next time I hear you say something like this, I have to pick your skin!"
Zhu Xiaofeng was scolded silently, and sat there with his head bowed and was very aggrieved.
Wang Qiang smiled and said: "Don't scold Xiaofeng, don't you just listen to it, I'll give him one." ”
"You ignore him. Lao Zhu said angrily: "I don't think about what to do in the future, my mind is full of fashion, I really don't know who to follow?"
"Who's with whom? It's not with your playful nature. The proprietress was not angry, and then said to Wang Qiang: "Xiao Wang, I really don't need it." ”
When his parents talked about this, Zhu Xiaofeng estimated that he was out of play, playing with his fingers in frustration, not talking, knowing that if he continued to talk about it, his parents would scold him even more.
Thinking that the old Zhu family was really good to him, Zhu Xiaofeng kept calling himself uncle, and Wang Qiang, who had drunk too much, was a little floating, and staggered to his feet, "Brother and Sister Zhu, okay, okay, a walkman is not worth much, you will wait." ”
Lao Zhu and his wife persuaded him, but Wang Qiang's brain was a little upset by alcohol, so he insisted on going upstairs to get it.
In the end, Lao Yao came forward to stop the couple, and he could see that Wang Qiang had drunk too much.
Ran upstairs and came down with a box of Walkmans and tapes.
When they returned to the door, the old Zhu couple was still talking about Zhu Xiaofeng.
Wang Qiang ran over and reached out to hand over the box and tape, "Buy the battery yourself." ”
"Ahh ”
Several others were stunned.
"It's a few hundred dollars. ”
"Just give it to Xiao Feng?"
"Xiao Wang is too generous. ”
Although they don't play these things, how can they not know the price.
Wang Qiang waved his hand, "You can only play songs, you can't record them, it's not that expensive." ”
Even so, Zhu Xiaofeng was still very excited, and hurriedly said: "I'm going to buy a battery!"
Everyone knows that Wang Qiang drank too much, but the act of sending a walkman made everyone look at each other differently, not a matter of money or not, but whether it was interesting enough, they all had a new understanding, Xiao Wang is on the road, and it is worth making deep friends.
But Wang Qiang thinks it's nothing, a Walkman costs twenty-five yuan, plus a tape is only twenty-six yuan five, Lao Zhu and his wife have taken out three thousand yuan to open a game room, although those red and white machines and game cards are worth tens of thousands in Shanghai, but in fact, he only spent 1,000 yuan, and he also took the majority of 70% of the shares of the game room, there was originally a feeling of taking advantage of Lao Zhu and his wife, what is it to give a Walkman now? What's more, since these days, Lao Zhu and his wife have entertained themselves with good food and food every day, and it is natural for them to send something to their son, and they must have the consciousness of "elders" when they are "elders".
Afterwards, Lao Yao took out a paper and pen from it, wrote a string of numbers, and ran out and said: "Xiao Wang, if there is anything in the game room, Lao Zhu is not around, remember to call me." ”
Wang Qiang put it away casually and nodded.
Inside, Lao Zhu shouted: "Xiao Wang, come over and talk to you about something." ”
After saying sorry to Lao Yao, Wang Qiang turned his head and hurriedly ran towards the counter and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lao Zhu burped, "In two days, your sister-in-law and I have to go to Wuhu to worship our ancestors, I'm afraid that someone will make trouble in the game room when I'm not there, leave a number for you, if there is really something, you can call this number and say it's my cousin, someone will solve it for you." As he spoke, he handed over a small note and said very seriously: "I didn't ask him for Xiaofeng until he was admitted to high school, I really treat you as a friend, so keep this number, don't call until you have to, I don't want to owe him any more favors." ”
In this way, is it Boss Wang?
took a look, and sure enough, there was a string of numbers and the words "Boss Wang" written on it.
Wang Qiang couldn't help but sigh slightly, it is estimated that he sent the Walkman just now This move moved Lao Zhu, otherwise he would not easily leave this number, friends and friends, it is just a little thing to get the relationship closer.
He said: "I know, Boss Yao just told me, if you don't have anything to ask me to call him, I won't trouble Boss Wang to make you owe favors again." ”
Who knows that Lao Zhu pouted, I don't know if he was talking drunk, "Don't call Lao Yao when you call Boss Wang, otherwise I won't leave Boss Wang's number for you." ”
Wang Qiang knew that Lao Zhu would not be unprovoked, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Lao Yao's utilitarianism is a bit heavy, nothing else, anyway, if there is anything, you don't look for him. Lao Zhu explained again.
I can make the sentence of the novel.
It is conceivable what kind of person Lao Yao is.
Wang Qiang nodded thoughtfully, looked back at Lao Yao, secretly vigilant in his heart, to avoid being careless in the trap of the other party, the first time he contacted him, he instinctively felt that this person was not quite right, and he almost smashed people's yards, Lao Yao was not only not angry, but also ate a large number of goods, and inexplicably gave forty small favors at the checkout, and asked himself what he was doing today, Wang Qiang roughly knew what kind of person this was, it was estimated that he was bullying himself at a young age, and wanted to coax him to cheat out the way to get rich.
If Wang Qiang's real age is seventeen or eighteen years old, he may really regard Lao Yao as a friend, but his youthful body contains a mature soul, and even if he can't see through some things at the time, he always has a little social experience and knows that there is no good thing in the sky, so as to avoid some unnecessary troubles.
And the character of not taking advantage of others easily makes many people who have the heart to calculate themselves invulnerable.
In any case, Wang Qiang remembered Lao Zhu's reminder firmly, he can treat Lao Zhu as a friend, because he feels that although this person wants to get some benefits from him, he also really pays something, not just calculating, for example, Wang Qiang gave the hotel ideas, and obviously gave Lao Zhu and his wife the way to make money, but they heard that they had a backlog of jeans on their hands and were willing to help, which was very interesting, if it was replaced by ordinary people, it would definitely be perfunctory.
