Chapter 327: Three Forces
In the early morning, on the fourth-class highway leading from Ayang to Yongcheng, Dongge's van and a rented commercial vehicle were moving at a fast speed.
We got up early in the morning and set off, Dongge, uncle, second brother, Dabin, Ziqian, Mingjie, Jin Peng, A Zhen, Shi Yigang, Tangtang and our group, dragged the family into two cars, Dabin and Ziqian, Mingjie, Jin Peng, Shi Yigang, Tangtang drove business, and the rest of us sat in Dongge's car.
The old uncle was driving intently, and Dong Ge was sitting in the co-pilot, briefly introducing us to the situation in Longcheng: "I made a few phone calls last night, and learned about the situation in Longcheng from the side, and there are three people in this place, first of all, Bai Song and Niu Wancheng, both of them started from the forage industry, and slowly started other industries, such as these baths, restaurants, and restaurants in the town. KTV or something, it has something to do with the two of them, they are not natives of Longcheng, but the roots have long been rooted there, in order to monopolize the forage industry, both of them have gathered some bastards, and the two groups of people will clash from time to time, over the years, a delicate balance has slowly emerged, with the street in the center of Longcheng as the boundary, the south belongs to Niu Wancheng, the north belongs to Bai Song, and the other little bastards are attached to them!"
"Brother Dong, didn't you say that there are three forces, and there are only two of them?"
"Yes, the remaining force, called Xing Lipu, this person's nickname is Dapu, is the only local among these three forces, but it is also the least powerful wave, Dapu this person except for the forage business, other aspects have not been involved, it's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's that he can't compete with Niu Wancheng and Bai Song, the reason why he can persist until now is because he is a local, and he is more familiar with people in this town, and many people are willing to sell him pasture and grain, otherwise he would have been squeezed out of the game!" The partner Wang Dongjiao introduced to us is Xing Lipu!"
The uncle in charge of driving thought about it and interjected: "Then did he talk to you, what is the specific cooperation project?"
Dong Ge lit two cigarettes and handed one of them to his uncle: "Last year, there was little rain in Inner Mongolia, and the grassland was relatively dry. Feed or something is stretched, can only be purchased in our province here, in this way, the price of forage grass is also rising with the tide, and our side in recent years is a bumper harvest year, rural people have hoarded a lot of hay, Longcheng these forces will naturally not let go of this opportunity, so they began to buy largely, especially these three big forces, they were good in previous years, they will grasp a scale, will not squeeze the other two too much, but this year's situation is different, this year's opportunity, no matter who seizes it, in a short period of time, the strength will completely suppress the other two, kicked out of the people, and in the end, it will definitely end up with a fate of being annexed!"
The uncle nodded: "In this way, even if it is for self-preservation, these three people will not easily let others become bigger, and if they are replaced by me, I would rather die and the net be broken!"
"That's right! That's what Dapu thinks, among these three people, Bai Song's power is the largest, Niu Wancheng ranks second, and Dapu can't even compare to one-third of Niu Wancheng, so in this competition, he was the first to be squeezed out, and because of this, he found us, his appeal is that we don't want us to suppress the other two groups, but we must help him maintain at least 30% of the market share in this battle. ”
The uncle frowned: "What can he give us?"
"Fifty percent of the net profit. ”
"Brother Dong, how can I listen, this thing is like a hammer deal?" The second brother frowned slightly: "Then when this forage purchase is over, don't we still have to go back to Anyang?"
"Since I went, I definitely won't come back like this, I calculated, the forage industry has low investment and high returns, this kind of business is like pie in the sky for us now, after we get there, let's first seek stability, and then find an opportunity to swallow the white pine and cattle Wancheng!"
When everyone heard Brother Dong's words, they all fell silent, and after a while, the old uncle spoke: "Chu Dong, Dapu is the one who brought us into the game after all, unless it is absolutely necessary, try not to touch him, otherwise we will easily play with our reputation!"
"Alas......" Brother Dong sighed faintly: "You are really not in your position and do not seek politics, you look at our two cars, how many people have been seated, since I was thirty years old, I feel more and more tired day by day, because every morning when I open my eyes, I am surrounded by people who rely on me, but I look around, I have no one to rely on, my current state, I don't care what others say about me, but I must let the people around me be fed and clothed, and live a good life!"
"Chu Dong, when the time is right, let go of power, now Xiao Er and Da Bin can also be on their own, don't treat them all as children, give them a little more space for development, you can also relax a little, they can still bring you a little surprise if they are not good!"
"Hmm. Brother Dong just agreed, and didn't say anything else.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke, in the last few days, I was almost in the car, and at the moment looking at the scenery outside the window, I felt very tired, I was really tired.
After more than an hour, the car was getting more and more bumpy, and the road outside was getting more and more broken, and I glanced at the boundary monument, and we had entered the territory of Dragon Town.
As the vehicle continued to move, the Dragon City also came into view.
The first time I saw the dragon city, there is still a big difference with my imagination, a few years ago when I came here to the same school, here is no different from other small towns, only one main street, both sides are low bungalows, but after several years of development, the dragon city has become a lot better, I glanced at the street signs, here criss-crossed, there are already four or five main streets, and the roadside has also built buildings, when I walked to the center of the town, there were more vehicles inside, this once could only rely on the planting industry to maintain the dilapidated town, under the country's various policies to benefit farmers, it seems to have developed into a small county town。
After the uncle parked the car, Dabin also drove the car, parked side by side with us, he lowered the window, and said, "Where are we going next?"
Dong Ge glanced at his watch: "The time to meet Dapu is at noon, it's still early, let's drive around and familiarize ourselves with the situation here in Dragon City first!"
"Good!"
'Buzz!'
The two cars started slowly, and they circled along the streets of Dragon City.
It took us less than an hour, to go around the streets of the town of Longcheng, this circle, everyone's mood is a lot better, because although this place is not as prosperous as the urban area, but the song hall, Internet café, billiards room, bath, hotel, chess and card room and other ancillary facilities, there are a lot, especially the song hall and chess and card room, video game city or something, even more dense than the urban area, but civil facilities, such as regular living quarters, are few, and the streets are relatively dilapidated.
'Squeak!'
Dong Ge put on the brakes, parked the car on the edge of a farmer's market, here is said to be a market, in fact, it is a large open-air field, the ground is not hardened, it is the bulldozed loess, the smoke and dust are billowing inside, some people who sell snacks put things like that, and do not pay attention to dust, the market is bustling, surrounded by stalls, there are clothes sellers, There are also people selling fruits and vegetables, and this day is the day of the rural market, so there are a lot of people, and many stalls are directly moved to both sides of the road outside the market, plus the crowd of people buying things, directly blocking the road outside.
Ah Zhen raised his eyebrows and looked at the road outside, and stretched out his hand: "It's strange, it is said that Longcheng is poor, but if you look at these cars, Land Rover, Porsche, Volvo, and Domineering, there will be one from time to time, as for Audi, Buick or something, there are more!"
Brother Dong smiled and said to Ah Zhen, "Take a good look at the license plates of these cars!"
When Ah Zhen heard this, he took a closer look: "Hey, strange, why are these cars all license plates from other places? Only a few of them are local!"
"Longcheng is poor here, refers to the per capita living standard of the people, not the bastards here, a few years ago Longcheng near the exploration of hot springs, recently Longcheng town government is also slowly developing tourism, so many big consortia, have heard the news and want to come to get a piece of the pie, you just saw these cars, a large part of them are businessmen or bastards who come to collect grain from other places, and the rest should be here to investigate and develop!" Dong Ge stretched out his hand and pointed to the new building on the side of the road in the distance:" After a while, this place will have to be demolished, I heard that it is to build a high-rise building, and over there, a hot spring hotel is planned! The crossroads in the center of Dragon City are the most prosperous commercial places in this town, there are two medium-sized small shopping malls, and there is a 50-meter-long small commercial street on the side, most of which are snack bars and stalls!
I listened to Brother Dong's introduction and felt very strange: "Brother Dong, how do you know the situation here so clearly?"
"As early as a few years ago, when the hot springs were just surveyed here, the second uncle persuaded me to come here to develop, he said that the future development space of Longcheng will be very large, I also came to inspect at that time, at that time it was still very dilapidated, there was nothing, I was greedy for fun, reluctant to play the world of flowers in the city, and I didn't pay much attention to this side, but the basic situation, I still know some!" Brother Dong smiled: "But what I know is the geographical situation, as for the humanities, I have to wait to see Dapu, let him introduce it to us!"
After chatting for a while, I sent Shi Yigang to get out of the car and buy some pancakes and fruits, as well as buns, fried skewers or something, as everyone's breakfast, after the things were purchased, we parked the car on the side of an inconspicuous road, everyone finished breakfast, washed their faces with the mineral water in the car, and then quietly waited for the meeting with Xing Lipu at noon.
