Volume I: Floating, Chapter 19: The Speaker

"How many times have I told you to take away the things in the village that are in tatters and can't be put on the table as soon as possible, why don't you implement them? Is my words useless, or is there a problem with your execution?" Gu Tianyou put his hands in his pockets and walked in front, his tone was very unpolite.

Yang Wenshan followed closely and explained: "Of course your words work, it's not that I don't have executive power, but I don't dare to let the old and young masters in the village be too idle, and now I will withdraw this business, and these idle people will only be left to sit at home and count the money, I am worried that idleness is very easy to have idle things, gambling, drinking, and fights in the village will follow, and there will be more contradictions." ”

"Then find a proper livelihood for everyone. ”

"Doing business?" Yang Wenshan was a little surprised and dazed.

"I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet?" Gu Tianyou continued in the tone of a guide: "There was a person in Qinzhou Prison, and the original business was not much smaller than ours, and he got in the way of the big man's wealth, and as a result, he folded himself in, this is our experience, so I mean, this kind of stinky street business must not be able to continue." ”

"Because of Dai Xiaolou?" Yang Wenshan's tone was disdainful: "Don't think about catching anything if this turtle grandson comes a hundred times again." ”

"He's just a little guy who does what he's told and sticks to his principles. Gu Tianyou snapped his fingers and said: "But you know, today we sent Dai Xiaolou, and tomorrow we will come to Wang Xiaolou, as long as you don't stop, something will just happen sooner or later, I know you are reluctant to spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year, but there is an old saying that people die for money, birds die for food, and we can't do stupid things that make money without life." ”

When he was about to enter the village, Gu Tianyou stopped, turned to look at Yang Wenshan, and said seriously: "Lao Yang, we have been working together for four years, I am a person with a quick temper, sometimes I don't like to speak, you have always been very tolerant, I have it in my heart, but in this matter I want to ask you to bear with me one last time." ”

"What do you mean by one last time?" Yang Wenshan heard something else, his brows tightened, and he said movingly: "Brother Tianyou, what do you mean by this? Is it something wrong between Feihuling and I, Yang Wenshan, that makes you feel cold? If so, please just say it, I don't have a word to make amends! If it wasn't for you, I didn't β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’ in the first place."

Gu Tianyou waved his hand and interrupted: "How can there be such a thing, we have been working together for so long, if you want to say who is sorry for whom, then I am sorry for you." ”

Yang Wenshan looked excited, and said: "Since this is the case, then please brother, please take back what you just said, you don't like Murakami to continue to engage in the cigarette and wine business, then don't do it, I will immediately notify from door to door, and bury all the raw materials and equipment, so that you can see our execution." ”

"Brother Yang, of course I'm very happy that you can do this, but this matter is different from what I want to tell you. Gu Tianyou was unmoved, and continued: "There is no banquet in the world, let's share weal and woe together for a few years, thanks to you who looked down on me at the beginning, did not treat me as a child, four years ago for a few words, he took the old and young masters of the whole village to put their heads on the waistband and follow me, and they have cooperated so far, and have always obeyed their words, if there is no you, even if I have great skills, I have nowhere to show." ”

After four years of cooperation, this is the first time that Gu Tianyou has called Yang Wenshan his eldest brother. The man who said this was already in tears. He wanted to say something, but he choked up and couldn't say it for a while. It took a long time to be excited: "At that time, I was also forced to go to Liangshan, the village has little arable land, the transportation is inconvenient, and some mountain goods can't be transported. ”

What Yang Wenshan said is the truth, and his gratitude to Gu Tianyou is definitely sincere. didn't know that Gu Tianyou didn't have more choices than him.

Feihuling Village is located in a remote area, with inconvenient transportation, and seems to be embarrassed, but it is an excellent place to make fake cigarettes. This thing has no expiration date, and the more hidden the production den, the better. The raw materials for tobacco production are bought from outside the mountain, and when they go out, they become brand-name cigarettes with beautiful packaging and real authenticity. The production of fake wine is even simpler, the raw materials are all produced in the mountains, and everyone in the village has the habit of making wine, as long as you get some foreign wine bottles and a simple set of sealing equipment, this business can be opened.

It was after seeing these convenient conditions that Gu Tianyou decided to cooperate with Feihuling after careful consideration.

In recent years, Gu Tianyou has been in charge of the overall situation, contacting sales channels, controlling the inflow and outflow of funds, and Yang Wenshan is responsible for organizing production and shipments.

Lao Immortal said that when people are in the rivers and lakes, if they want to mix with Ba Shi, two words are the most important: one advance and one retreat. Gu Tianyou has witnessed many popular characters who ended up in prison because they couldn't understand these four words, and he deeply knew the truth that the side business could not be done for a long time.

Now it's time to quit.

Gu Tianyou waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to say anything, and continued: "In the past few years, we have engaged in the cigarette business, blended cottage wine, and gambled, and finally made some money. ”

Yang Wenshan shook his head and said: "Brother, don't you dare to say that, without you, there would be no Feihuling Village today, and Feihuling will still point to you tomorrow." ”

"Brother Yang, there is no need to say more kind words, I have made up my mind, from now on, our business will all belong to you and all the villagers of Feihuling. Gu Tianyou took out a cashier's check from his arms and handed it to Yang Wenshan, and said: "The transaction is done today, you never ask how much you earn, I thank you for this trust, the separation is imminent, you can't lose you as a brother, this cashier's check is for you personally, you collect it first, in addition, I don't want any money and real estate in the company's account, all left to all the villagers of Feihuling, and I will not participate in the dividend at the end of this year." ”

"Brother, what are you doing!" Yang Wenshan took the promissory note, looked at Gu Tianyou in a daze, slapped his thigh, and exclaimed in annoyance: "Is there anything that can't be discussed, no matter what you think, just say it, as long as you say it, when did my old Yang be vague? The year before last, you asked us to engage in a side business to cover people's eyes, and we raised hundreds of Subei blacks at once, and none of them have been sold until now, all of them are placed there for people to see, this time you said that you will not engage in fake cigarettes and fake alcohol business, let's just do itβ€’β€’β€’β€’β€’β€’

Gu Tianyou waved his hand to interrupt him, and said with a smile: "In the past few years, I have borrowed precious land to make money, and I have finally not worked in vain. He added: "In the end, it's still the same clichΓ©, this cigarette business really can't go on, it's too much to block people's money, and if something really goes wrong, it will be fatal." With that, he turned around, lifted his feet and walked away.

Yang Wenshan stood and watched, remembering that early morning four years ago, this young man also appeared in front of him in such a posture, and finalized a multi-million investment project with a few words of understatement. Four years have passed, and they are still in this place, or just the two of them, where they start and where they end. He ended this wonderful relationship with his own mouth.

Yang Wenshan was reluctant, said goodbye, and sent all the way out of Feihuling Village, still reluctant, and planned to send it to Wolongtang depending on the meaning. Gu Tianyou sighed, stopped and said, "Brother Yang, you have something to say but it's hard to speak, do you want to ask about the future regulations?"

Yang Wenshan looked sad and said: "Brother, your eyes are more intelligent than a electrocardiogram, and you have seen through all this little thing in my brother's heart, I really don't hide it, I am really worried about this matter." After a pause, he said: "In the past few years, my brother has opened his eyes to follow you, but you have withdrawn, and I have lost my heart all of a sudden. ”

Gu Tianyou said with a smile: "Brother Yang, doing business is actually the same as doing other things, pay attention to the time and place and the people, for example, when you were poor and white, I came to the door and took the initiative to pull you to engage in fake cigarettes with me, that is because we are all in the initial stage, and it is difficult to achieve primitive accumulation without taking risks to get out of the way, and now, I strongly urge you to end this business, but because we now have enough capital to make money, there is no need to take risks." ”

Yang Wenshan nodded, thinking deeply: "I understand this, I just want to hear your opinion, do you think what we should do next?"

Gu Tianyou said: "The first step, relying on the mountains and water, combined with the existing conditions, breeding, planting vegetables, as long as the scale is up, everything can be done, but this is placed on the bright side for people to see, it doesn't cost a few dollars to look like the project, it is to let the old and young masters be idle, and really make money for a long time, I think investing in relatively mature commercial real estate is a good choice, low risk, stable returns, and high cost of capital required, which is very suitable for the current situation of Feihuling Village." ”

Yang Wenshan nodded as he took out his mobile phone to record.

Gu Tianyou said: "At the beginning, I had to go to the dangerous road, and now the general trend has become a general trend, we must know how to cherish feathers, do less outlaw trading, and try not to get involved in the illegal things that are called the king and dominate, reputation is very important, in addition, multiple friends have more roads, make more friends and less enemies, officialdom friends can not be deeply friends, the brothers in the rivers and lakes are not expensive, the more friends in the mall, the better, once forced to become an enemy, in order to hit a hit, steady and ruthless." ”

Yang Wenshan thought so, nodded frequently, and waited until Gu Tianyou stopped talking, and then looked regretful: "Brother Tianyou, when it comes to this, I won't say anything superfluous, in fact, I have long thought that there will be this day, the small temple in Feihuling Village can't accommodate your great god, but they are separated, and the fate of our buddies can't be broken, one day when you can use your brother, cough at any time, in the water and fire, the six hundred men in Feihuling Village are on call!"

This is a heart-wrenching sentence, Yang Wenshan is a brave and loyal man. If he had sent a mile less when he said goodbye before, there would have been no later conversation. If Yang Wenshan didn't say this last sentence, Gu Tianyou would just be a friend in his eyes and would not treat him as a brother. But now, Gu Tianyou is very satisfied.

The person needs to be heart-to-heart, otherwise it is better not to pay.

Throughout the ages, how many unparalleled figures have fallen into the hands of so-called friends?

"Brother Yang, according to what I said, close the trade of counterfeiting and counterfeiting, and it is best to transfer out the gambling and ball business if it can be transferred out, and take everyone to find a serious business to do, and run the business of Feihuling well, and when the time is ripe, our brothers will join hands to fight the world together." ”

Gu Tianyou dropped this sentence, ignored how Yang Wenshan was surprised and excited, and walked away.
