Chapter 300: Nine Lives (Continued 4)
Wu San's dress was very casual, and there was not too much decoration because of the visitor's visit, he shook hands with me and said: "This is Teacher Chang, just now Team Cao talked to me about you, saying that you are a cultural master, sure enough, as soon as the expert makes a move, I know if there is one." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info I can't use this little thing on the table, so I can only use it as a countertop, which makes Mr. Chang laugh. ”
As soon as I thought about it, there was no need to go around with an old and extremely smart person like Wu San, so I simply whispered: "Boss Wu loves things and people, and a big wheel can find the most reasonable use, not to mention the company you manage, your employees are very lucky." But we are not here to visit and study, but because of your deceased, Zhang Jinguo. ”
When Wu Sanyi heard Zhang Jinguo's name, his expression immediately dimmed, such an expression change was not pretentious, there was no hypocrisy, it should be an expression of true feelings, and he obviously knew Lao Zhang's accident. Wu San didn't answer my question immediately, but beckoned everyone to the table, served the food, and walked to my side by pouring wine, and said slowly: "Teacher Chang, let's go to the tea room above me to talk slowly after we finish eating about Lao Zhang, but don't worry, I know that I will tell you, and I won't ambush at all." ”
The food at Wu San Restaurant is very authentic, and the wine is also aged for many years, but everyone deliberately avoided the purpose of our trip, chatting about the topic of officialdom, the opportunities of the new economic and technological development zone, and the new economic crimes. Team Cao drank a little wine, looked very excited, and told us about the major pyramid scheme cases he had cracked in Guangdong, Guangxi, Guizhou, and Yunnan. Among them, the various methods used by the MLM leaders to control the MLM are unheard of by us.
Even the well-informed Wu San also toasted a glass of wine to Team Cao, and sighed: "Team Cao, this pyramid scheme gang must be cracked down, their approach is to do business, it is even worse than human traffickers, but they can make the pyramid schemers lose their minds, think about problems completely according to their will, and be willing to go bankrupt." It's just that I'm afraid it's not as simple as brainwashing and violent detention. ”
I saw that the topic was talking about brainwashing and mind control, and I hurriedly toasted Wu San and interjected: "From ancient times to the present, this way of brainwashing has not changed, it is all about using the greed in people's hearts to set up a trick step by step, but the terrible thing about pyramid schemes is that they have changed the one-to-one control method, which closes many people together and uses the collective unconscious way to influence and monitor each other, and the harm is too great." In fact, in essence, it is not much different from the past boxing clubs, conjuring spirits and other cult methods, and it should be regarded as a gamble in disguise. In the previous paragraph, I read a book, which wrote about the story of Shandong bandits in the early Ming Dynasty who used a kind of soul attraction technique to kill people and accumulate wealth in the name of Taoism, which was extremely bloody!"
Then, I told you the story of the ancestor Chang Wanlin in the genealogy, and paid attention to Wu San's expression while talking about it. He was silent, as if listening very attentively, but as if he was thinking about something again.
I picked up the wine glass, touched it lightly with Wu San, and asked casually, "Mr. Wu, I know that your real name was Zhao Shaocheng when you were in Handan, but who was Zhao Shaocheng who went to Beijing to find Lao Zhang?"
Wu San looked at me with some surprise, shook his head with a wry smile, and said slowly: "Mr. Chang is using the story of your ancestors to ask for directions, but I still admire you very much, and you have already guessed eighty percent." If I tell you that the person who watched the scene for me in Handan back then used my first name and surname, I guess you have figured out all the karma and coincidences. It's just that you must not think about it with emotion, I don't want to talk about it because it's too cold, so cold that it's chilling. ”
That person's surname is Xiang? That is to say, the person who fooled Lao Zhang on the road of no return, maybe he is the descendant of the ghost immortal master who was tracked by the ancestors back then? I no longer care about Wu San's emotion, but I am deeply involved in the thinking of historical reincarnation.
After lunch, Team Sun said that he still had official business and did not accompany us again. Wu San politely invited us to the tea room on the top floor of the restaurant. Apparently there are no outside diners, and the environment is quiet and comfortable. Wu San arranged for someone to help us make tea, and the fragrance of tea permeated the room with a simple style and rich decoration.
Generally speaking, northerners don't pay much attention to tea, but Wu San is obviously an exception, his tea is a new tea before the Ming Dynasty, and the water should also be clear deep well water, especially that set of tea sets, Jingdezhen's high imitation blue and white, glaze color is warm, the shape is simple, it is a rare boutique. But we were not in the mood to taste the tea at this time, and just sat down and urged Wu San to tell the story of Lao Zhang.
Wu San made tea for everyone, and then slowly spoke.
Wu San and Lao Zhang's acquaintance and cooperation are basically the same as what Ma Wu heard from Lao Zhang. Wu San's speech was also relatively brief, but what happened after Lao Zhang helped Wu San sweep the underground casino in Shijiazhuang surprised us.
Perhaps in order to show his sincerity, Wu San first talked about the impostor of Zhao Shaocheng. His name is Xiang Yuanlin, and he is two years older than Wu San. But the Xiang family and the Zhao family are considered to be good families, and this friendship has been passed down from ancestors for at least a few generations.
Zhao's ancestors were in Baoding, Handan opened a restaurant, and drove a horse shop. Although it is not prominent, it is also a big family with fine clothes and fine food. The Xiang family later moved to Handan, but they relied on the yin and yang houses to look at feng shui and ask for a fortune for a living. How did the two families that were not in the same realm become world friends, Wu San can't say clearly.
However, the Zhao family and the Xiang family have to go to each other's house to pay New Year's greetings on the ninth and eleventh days of the Spring Festival every year, and each has a banquet for one day, which is very grand, and every male in the family must attend. Another rule is that children of the same age in two families must go to a private villa and form a friendship with classmates.
But after liberation, the concept changed, life also changed, these old rules were slowly no longer observed, and the movement of the two families became very rare. When it came to Wu San's generation, the Zhao family was in the middle of the road, Wu San, that is, Zhao Shaocheng in Handan, and Xiang Yuanlin, who was two years older than him, had never seen each other before ninety years.
And their first meeting was full of drama. That year, Zhao Shaocheng, who was the director of the security department in the pharmaceutical factory, quit his job and began to go to the sea to do business. said that he was in business, but in fact, he started a business in the Tao. Zhao Shaocheng joined the division when he was young, practiced martial arts, and slacked off at the end for more than 20 years.
The days have been long, and few people can walk three or five rounds in front of him. At that time, someone had already asked him to come forward to help collect the debts at a high price, and he began to slowly get in touch with the underground casino, and he also got to know many debt collectors in the underground casino.
Zhao Shaocheng has a good husband, but he is very righteous, and he often stands up for his friends around him and accumulates excellent network resources. His friends in the casino asked him to set up his own business, and everyone also invested a little, and everyone gathered firewood and did their own business.
After seeing too much, Zhao Shaocheng naturally knows the bloodshed and profiteering here. And his increasingly prominent reputation in Dao'er is the confidence that he is ready to enter an unfamiliar industry. People's affairs are easy to do, just spend money to solicit, house decoration, casino equipment, these are also some people to get, don't have to worry about Zhao Shaocheng. The only thing that can't be solved is the problem of customer sources.
Their group of casino thugs are all dealing with gamblers who have borrowed casino loan sharks and their families are ruined, but the real rich high rollers don't know each other. Zhao Shaocheng thought that there was no other way but to add a little blockage to other casinos.
So in just a few months, those high-end gamblers who often go in and out of underground casinos have been harassed, robbed, kidnapped, and intimidated by Zhao Shaocheng's subordinates, which made those people panic for a while, and they didn't dare to come out to play money. But these people know in their hearts that only Zhao Shaocheng's field is the safest.
The owners of the underground casino were unwilling to sit idly by, and they also organized manpower to prepare to clear Zhao Shaocheng's people from the vicinity of the casino. But what I didn't expect was that as soon as the people left the door of the casino, half of them defected, and the defectors did not have any psychological burden, and they continued to lobby those casino diehards.
"Don't do it in that field, you usually treat people like dogs, you don't have enough to eat, you have to fight and kill, and you will be released. Boss Zhao is benevolent and righteous, and the people who work together are all brothers, with high salaries and monthly profits......"
If you can't beat it, then think of another countermeasure, and the bosses of the underground casino joined forces and invited a few thousands of people to smash Zhao Shaocheng's field at a large price.
At that time, the underground casino, pay attention to a "face", the big field can not only rely on the collection fee to make money, meet the bigger patrons who play, the shot is heavy, the field can not find a place to play together, then the field has to send someone to play with, can not let the guests go, otherwise the next day to pass out, this brand is smashed.
The thousands of people found by other casinos are experienced, and they have a clear division of labor and tacit understanding with each other. Zhao Shaocheng was not proficient in gambling at that time, and it was okay for him to cooperate with those few to do some rough work, but how could he see the doorway? The dealer in charge of the market was also invited, but compared with those few old people, the gap was not a little bit. For several days, Zhao Shaocheng could only get in and out, and hundreds of thousands flowed out like flowing water.
(The same is true for ordinary people, some people say: In life and death, impermanence and suffering are empty and selfless, and they are separated from each other and are always on the two sides, and they are in the middle way, and in this middle way, liberation can be attained.) Ordinary people misunderstand, so they ask for the boundless world and all living beings have self and self, but they can't see the truth of the middle way, and suddenly die, because they are killed by impermanence, and fall into the three evil paths, just as the fool pushes Mani and is harmed by him. --"The Book of Parables")
