On the afternoon of this day, the "little thunderson" under the "old ghost" found Hong Yanwu, who was still blocking and hunting the "eight forks" and "small landlords" on the streets of Qianmen Street, and sent him a "bloody post".
The so-called "blood post" is actually similar to the concept of "chicken feather letter", and it is the highest standard invitation in the "player" circle. As the name suggests, the content of the "post" needs to be stamped with blood by the inviter and the Chinese person, which means "desperately invite each other, if you don't see each other, you will become a mortal enemy." ”
The "blood post" that Hong Yanwu received was a piece of stationery in an envelope, and after opening it, there was no other text except for the time and place of the appointment.
If there's anything out of the ordinary, it's that the right side represents the position of the inviter, with the blood marks of five thumbs. At the top of the middle of the letter is the position representing the middle person, with the blood marks of the three middle fingers printed on it. The spot on the left is reserved for his side, and if he can find someone to help, he will also have to print a thumbs up blood stamp. But these fingerprints are not something that ordinary people can press, and they must be a prince of one side to have this qualification.
Seeing that Hong Yanwu had seen the "blood post", "Little Leizi" told the reason for the whole story, and he said that the "Eight Forks" and the "Little Landlord" begged the "old ghost" yesterday and wanted to talk to Hong Yanwu about a truce.
Although the "old ghost" didn't want to get involved in this matter, he only said at the beginning that the strong are respected, the fierce are great, and the winner is the king. I wanted the "eight forks" and "small landlords" to solve the matter on their own, and they didn't want to get involved.
But after the "Yaozi" at the front door and the "nail" from the flyover knew the situation, they also came to meet the "old ghost". They said that this time they must invite the "old ghost" to come forward and preside over the plan. Otherwise, if this continues, the market will be completely chaotic, no "Buddha" dares to go to the street, and no one will have anything to eat.
In this way, the "old ghost" was in the way, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only reluctantly make it difficult and agree to come forward with "Yaozi" and "Nail" to mediate the matter.
As for the other supporters of the "Eight Forks" and the "Little Landlord", "Xiao Leizi" also told Hong Yanwu that it was the "Gongzi" of Yongdingmen, the "big old fart" of Guang'anmen, and the "old man" outside You'anmen.
To tell the truth, first of all, the "old ghost" is the "Zhenshan Tiger" in the entire Nancheng "player" circle, and people's wrists and fame have reached this point. Even if Hong Yanwu is not happy, he will not dare not sell this face, otherwise he will offend this recognized big brother, and he will become the target of public criticism, and he will definitely be attacked by a group next.
In addition, this "blood post" is also in the arms of Hong Yanwu. He made a gesture of fighting to the death in order to force the other party to sit down and negotiate. At this time, he realized that the "eight forks" and the "small landlords" really couldn't bear it, and the opportunity to completely solve this matter had come.
Therefore, he said very happily to "Little Leizi" that he took the "blood post", and the original will be returned after the fingerprint is printed tomorrow, and he will definitely go to the appointment on time three days later. From now on, his pursuit of the "eight forks" and "small landlords" has come to an end, and everything will wait until the talks are over.
"Little Leizi" is quite satisfied with this, perhaps he has been worried that Hong Yanwu does not know the severity and will openly refute the face of the "old ghost". Now that the task was completed, it seemed that the stone in his heart had landed, he nodded at Hong Yanwu, and went back to his life.
Chen Liquan learned the news after work. Although he knew that things were developing as Hong Yanwu had predicted, he was also relieved and knew that the confrontation between the two sides in such peace talks was inevitable. It doesn't mean that the other party will fully agree to their conditions, maybe there are still people who are worried about jumping out on this occasion, and there is a certain possibility that it will evolve into a "Hongmen banquet". So he also had a certain amount of worry, so he persuaded Hong Yanwu to find a few more people to help, so as to be foolproof.
"Except for 'Momiji', I can't pull anyone's head. ”
I really didn't expect that Hong Yanwu resolutely vetoed Chen Liquan's proposition as soon as he opened his mouth. His reasoning was that no matter how the matter ended, he would owe a debt of favor afterwards. For "Red Leaves", they can still be paid with the full ownership of the 19 bus line, but if they invite others, then in order to repay their debts in the future, I am afraid they will have to continue to roll in this rotten circle.
"Quanzi, this time we not only have to get the money, but also to get out of this broken circle completely and return to normal life. If there is any more unclear implication, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Chen Liquan didn't understand what Hong Yanwu meant, he was just worried that the disparity between the numbers of the two sides was too great, and the other party would be hot-headed when he saw that there were few of them. The good situation that was hard to get out step by step in front of us was in vain. The most important thing is that they don't really want to work hard after all, don't let people just refuse to spit out the money when the time comes, so what should Hong Yanwu's father's money do with the money to buy medicine?
"No, it won't. It was the 'Eight Forks' and the 'small landlords' who took the initiative to make peace, and they did not choose to organize a 'big ballast' decisive battle with us, which proves that they have already made a mistake! Naturally, if I want to get back the original 2,000 yuan, they must have already expected it. It's just ......"
Speaking of this, Hong Yanwu's eyes flashed again, "I can't just be so cheap for them, I have to give them more ......"
These words revealed the intention of intensifying, which prompted Chen Liquan to frown immediately. "Why bother? Aren't we just going to get there? Why are we causing more trouble? What if we push them to do so?"
Hong Yanwu naturally knew what Chen Liquan thought, and hurriedly explained.
"Quanzi, don't think I'm insatiable. To be honest, this is also a last resort. Do you remember what I told you about 'empty bottles'? The person who has nothing and steps on the tightrope to play with his head is the player. Therefore, among the rules of the player, the most important one is, you die, I live! You can never be soft! If you are a little timid, you will immediately be in a different place. The 'Eight Forks' and the 'Little Landlord' lost this game because they took the initiative to throw the knife in their hands. And we can only continue to be brutal and tough, and this is the only way to get out.
This is quite clear and weighty. Chen Liquan couldn't help but be silent, and only said after a while, "I understand a little bit of what you said, as long as it's yours, I believe it." So what's next? Shall we go straight to the appointment, or do something else?"
"For the sake of caution, and just in case, of course we have to prepare for some extraordinary measures. But the purpose of everything is still to make them think that we can smash everything into empty bottles at any time. People, this advanced animal is very strange, people are afraid of being stunned, those who are stunned are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are afraid of dying are afraid of dying. Acting must have a beginning and an end, and this is the biggest key to achieving all our goals. ”
Speaking of this, Hong Yanwu's face was solemn, and he took a breath before continuing with a deep groan.
"Quanzi, you have to understand that if we only readily agree to their terms according to our bottom line, things will change badly, because they will never be reconciled. It's like haggling for something, you have to agree to the price you put out at the beginning. The other party will feel that they are at a loss, and they will see through our true thoughts and regret it if they don't get it right. But if we first put forward the terms of affluence at the beginning, and then give in a little when we can't hold on to each other, the other party will often accept it gladly......"
In fact, Hong Yanwu's last detailed explanation was originally intended to take the opportunity to let Chen Liquan understand more of the principles and skills in the negotiation field. Unexpectedly, due to some factors that he ignored, Chen Liquan became confused because of this.
"How to bargain for something? The price of things in the store is always fixed!"
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but be speechless, he looked at Chen Liquan's inexplicable face, and really didn't know how to say it for a while......
In Nancheng Xuan (Wu) District, Hufang Bridge, Fuzhou Pavilion Street, there is a small "Jinghua Restaurant". The specific location of this restaurant is located on the south side of the Xuanwu District Workers' Club, which is very easy to find.
In fact, this is the predecessor of the stewed boiled restaurant that was later famous in the capital for its pure taste and full of grandpa service. But in those days, it was still state-owned, and its business only had simple stir-fried vegetables, rice, and noodles. Frankly speaking, the taste is really unsatisfactory, and the chef's standard is really not very good.
But don't look at it, due to the geographical location, and there are not many restaurants in these years, the "old ghost" is a frequent visitor in the "Jinghua Restaurant". And he can also talk to the people in charge, and he has a lot of relationships after dealing with them for many years. Therefore, the "blood post" issued in his name is here.
Monday, April 11, 1977, at 9:20 p.m. on the day of the negotiations.
After the closure of the "Jinghua Restaurant", it has temporarily become a meeting place for players in the southern city. The fires of the two stoves were still burning vigorously, tea was placed on all the tables, and the seats were almost full, and the nine "handles", including the men they had brought with them, more than fifty people, and the crows sat together.
Out of the importance of this negotiation, most of the people arrived early, including the three Chinese people "Old Ghost", "Yaozi" and "Nail". It's just that Hong Yanwu is the only one who hasn't appeared yet, which naturally makes many people feel awkward and angry, and they are chattering about unconvinced gossip. However, there were still 10 minutes before the start of the formal negotiations. All the people involved had to continue to wait.
To be honest, the person who has the biggest headache at the moment is "Momiji". This is because he found that Hong Yanwu only invited him to have a "handle" to help the momentum. And until now, the main lord has not come, so as the only person who supports Hong Yanwu, all the negative emotions and firepower of the hostile side can only be held up by him alone.
