When the drink war in Xikang Province was in full swing, in the distant Shenghai, a thug was ushering in a turning point in his life.

During the Republic of China, Zhabei belonged to the first rogue library of Sheng Beach, and all kinds of rogue talents emerged.

In the 90s, the gangsters in Zhabei actually changed their ruthless and courageous temperament and became the most business-minded gangsters in Quansheng Beach. Most of them are from the nearby Kuhaha, relying on the train station, eating railway rice and dumping wagons, acting as intermediaries to provide accommodation and even special entertainment services for outsiders who have just arrived in Shenghai. Or they can sell scalped tickets, sell smuggled cigarettes, and sell some pirated DVDs and photos.

Most of these gangsters have Northern Jiangsu blood and are very grouped. After years of development, there are gradually various fixed territories, and there are basically no fights between gangs, and any contradictions can be resolved at the negotiation table.

They are particularly hostile to outsiders, and many of those who are abducted and deceived at the train station are outsiders, which destroys the harmonious business atmosphere of the local gangsters. At first, they fought when they met, but the gangsters from other places gradually joined together, and after repeated struggles, the two sides reached some kind of potential balance.

Gu Laosi's real name is Gu Fei, his parents died early, and he came out to mix when he was more than ten years old. At the beginning, he followed the boss to pour out cigarettes, and the gang occupied a sales area at the train station, but because of the group fight for land, the boss was directly beaten and killed. He was a teenage gangster who played a side drum and was also sentenced to seven years during the crackdown.

After being released from prison for two years, Gu Laosi was dragged into the water by his original brother, and now specializes in selling foreign cigarettes, pirated books and pirated DVDs.

With his strong business acumen, Gu Laosi almost did not use force, and had already occupied nearly a quarter of the market for smuggled foreign cigarettes, pirated books, and pirated discs at the railway station. He even opened a video store, turned into a "successful person", and mixed up in the area of the train station.

Feifei Video Store.

A little brother complained with a bitter face: "Boss ......"

"Call the boss!" Gu Laosi corrected.

"Boss," the younger brother cried and said mournfully, learning the terminology of Hong Kong films, "Our old nest was served with strips, more than 50,000 books, and more than 10,000 VCDs, and they were directly pulled to the suburbs and burned." How can this be endured? The loss is too great! We usually stuff a lot of money, and we don't use it at all. ”

"Howl and howl, howl and fart, like a dead mother," Gu Laosi said, "If the government wants to carry out a special operation to crack down on piracy, then it can only be next to each other, and you can still oppose the government? This railway station is the most concentrated and conspicuous place for piracy, and it must be the first to be beaten, and they dare not report to us if they take the money." ”

"What then?" asked the younger brother.

Gu Laosi said: "Collect the points first, and wait until the special operation is over." ”

"But the brothers want to eat!" said the younger brother.

"Let me think about it again," Gu Laosi is now considered a successful person, and he said with a headache, "It's not a way to sell black goods all the time, you have to develop a new business." ”

The younger brother suggested, "Why don't you also do a hotel business?"

The hotel business is not to open a hotel, but to pull people to stay at the train station, and to pimp.

Gu Laosi immediately vetoed: "The hotel business, do you want to fight with Lao Sun and a few of them? The business is all divided, we can only sell foreign cigarettes and pirated copies!"

The younger brother scratched his head and didn't speak again.

Gu Laosi smoked a cigarette and looked at the newspaper, wondering what to do. Although his annual "turnover" is very high, most of the money has to be distributed to his younger brothers, and for several years, the savings in his own pocket are less than 100,000, which is too incompatible with his "big brother" status.

You must change careers, wash your name, and take the right path!

Suddenly, Gu Laosi saw a full-page advertisement in the newspaper: Xifeng sincerely invites regional partners to create a brilliant beverage industry in China.

Regional partners?

Gu Laosi looked at the content carefully, and it turned out that he contacted the retail store by himself, and then contacted the sales branch of Xifeng when he got the order. There is no need to rent a warehouse to stock up on goods, or even contact transportation, Xifeng will be responsible for delivery.

This business can be done!

Gu Laosi decided to set up a sales company and called other bigwigs at the railway station to discuss shares. As long as the price is fair, there is no suspicion of bullying the market, and everyone can cooperate amicably and get rich together.

The younger brothers can be converted into employees of the sales company, and each person is in charge of several stores. When it occupies the railway station market, it will actively expand outward and take down the entire retail channels in Zhabei!

Gu Laosi said that he would do it, and immediately contacted several other bigwigs.

Those bigwigs listened to Gu Siyi's words, and they also felt that this business could be done, and they agreed to cooperate with each other. Even a scalper business boss said that he could send his subordinates to various communities and streets, because this does not belong to the traditional business of gangsters, and he is not afraid of stepping on the line.

This was the case with a sales company formed by thugs, who first started their business in the train station. does not use force, but sprinkles all kinds of things in other people's stores, which makes the store completely lose temper, so it can only cut off the current purchase channel and let the gangsters help contact the purchase.

In order to increase their business, the gangsters also made the shops and restaurants in the train station only have drinks from Xifeng, unless such drinks are not available in Xifeng. For example, soda and juice, Xifeng does not have it, so you can buy it casually.

A month later, Coca-Cola and Pepsi went extinct near Shenghai Railway Station.

Song Weiyang didn't know anything about this, if he knew, he would definitely not be able to laugh or cry.

To be honest, in the mid-90s, the "101 plan" and regional partners were actually cheapening those local snakes. The land snake here does not only refer to gangsters, as long as they can eat in a certain area, even good people with good popularity.

No need for a store, no need for a warehouse, no need to be responsible for transportation, just get an order with a face, you can cooperate with Xifeng Company!

If this situation occurs on a large scale, it will definitely have a certain impact on Xifeng's positive image, because it is inevitable that there will be those who bully and dominate the market.

It wasn't until the end of the year that the company found that the sales performance in some areas was gratifying, so it sent people to do a survey to see if it could be promoted across the country. As a result, the investigators were frightened enough, because two regional partners were already involved in the gang, and hurriedly ran back to the headquarters to report to their superiors.

When Song Weiyang learned the news, he also rushed back to the meeting and gave instructions:

First, the 101 program must continue and not be abandoned halfway.

Second, the two regional partners who have been found to be involved in the crime immediately reported anonymously to the public security organs.

Third, open one eye and close one eye.

Fourth, the public relations team is on standby at any time, and there is an immediate response to abnormal public opinion.

Song Weiyang found that the 101 regional partnership program was developing much faster than he had imagined, so fast that Xifeng's warehousing and transportation systems in various places could not keep up with the pace.

It's no wonder that Coca-Cola in history was able to occupy the market with the 101 plan at the end of the 90s, and take back everything that was stolen by Pepsi in the previous years!

This kind of specific situation cannot be seen in textbooks at all, nor can it be found on the Internet, and it belongs to the historical product of a special era.
