Volume IV, Section 12 Crisis (3)

Lu Li went for four days, there was no news, Gu Zhong and A Mao in the hot pot restaurant sat in the city of sorrow, sighing every day, at a loss; Fortunately, there were no guests coming to the door, and the daily task was to open the door, and then wait until it was dark, then put down the roller shutter door, and go back.

Such a day seemed comfortable, but a few young people were confined to the four-story space like trapped beasts, and after the initial leisure, there was intense anger and depression, "...... Anyway, if you cooperate with Brother Tiger, why can't you cooperate with the eighth master? Guo Chunhan held a cigarette in his mouth and looked out through the glass door, Ah Fei sent by the Ping An Club was wandering on the street in groups of three or five, and a few were sitting at the door of the hot pot restaurant, making a few chairs playing cards, and from time to time there was a noise coming in, which added to the anxiety in everyone's hearts.

“…………”

Guo Chunhan saw that Gu Zhong didn't speak, he only smoked there, and kicked him under the table, "Hey, Brother Zhong, talk to you." What do you think? ”

"Don't chirp! It's not your turn to call the shots in this matter," Ah Mao said with an irritable expression: "You can do whatever Brother Li says, less nonsense." ”

"It's not nonsense, the brothers are stuck here all day, and when is the end?" Guo Chunhan said: "I said, don't what Ah Feng said come true, right?" He's not going to leave us here, is he? ”

Gu Zhong threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on it with his foot, "Ah Chun, if you are panicked by staying here, the door is open, you can leave immediately!" Brother Li treats us well, what Ah Feng said can be seen as unintentional, if you have any messy ideas, you are called an anti-bone boy! ”

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I'm also telling the truth, Fang Ba sent a dozen horses and younger brothers, and they will mix up such a big business as ours, if it goes on for a long time. People can afford to delay, can we afford to delay? ”

"Nonsense, what do you say?"

"I can't help it, but I know it's not going to work. Why don't you call the police? ”

"Call the police, what are you talking to people? The police came. These people are gone, and as soon as the police leave, these people come back, what do you do? ”

Ah Mao suddenly gritted his teeth, got closer to the two of them, and whispered, "Why don't we him too?" ”

Gu Zhong was stunned, "What are you messing with him?" ”

"It's to learn from Song Hu back then! him, he won't let us do business. How about just getting an old bastard in one attack? ”

Gu Zhong was taken aback, and Guo Chunhan was shocked, "Ah Mao, you ......"

"What? Don't dare, no guts bandits! As long as you prepare well in advance, you don't have to be afraid of being found out by the poor, let's learn from Song Hu. A fire burned Old Man Fang to death, and waited for Brother Li to come back. Let's get on with business. What do you think? ”

Guo Chunhan was the first to retreat, he only felt that his two legs were weak, "No, Fang Ba......, we don't even know where their family lives, how can we do it?" Besides. For someone like him, there must be bodyguards, and if it doesn't work, we will fall into the hands of others again, what do you say? ”

Ah Mao was only momentarily angry. When he said this to his companion, his courage suddenly faded, and he sighed like a deflated ball, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work,......"

"Less nonsense, someone's coming." Gu Zhong's words made the two stunned, there was a horse boy from the Ping An Club squatting at the door, did anyone dare to come to visit? Looking back, sure enough, a few people arrived at the door, naturally, the horses of the Ping An Club surrounded them, but this time the people who came were obviously not ordinary diners, three or five mouths were beaten, the door of the store was wide open, and Long Zhixiao walked in, "You...... You wait......" Behind him, a horse boy from the Ping An Club covered his face and shouted: "Our Ping An Club is not easy to bully!" ”

Long Zhi Xiaoli also ignored the other party's inwardly talking, and stepped forward with a smile, "How is it, are you still doing business?" ”

"Do, do, why not?" Gu Zhong hurriedly smiled, "It's great that Brother Xiao can come and patronize, come, please sit, please sit." ”

Long Zhixiao sat down at a table near the center, waited for Guo Chunhan to pour tea, took a sip, deliberately looked left and right, as if he didn't know what was going on, and asked, "Today's business is very cold?" What's wrong? ”

Gu Zhong slandered in his heart, what are you pretending to be confused? Who on Hong Kong Kowloon Road didn't know that Lu Li had offended Fang Ba, who deliberately sent people to make trouble at the door of the store and interfere with business, but Lu Li also put on a posture of not bowing his head, and he was actually the other party, this matter attracted the attention of all parties, and they all wanted to see how long this mainlander surnamed Lu could last? It is said that some underground gambling stalls even opened a handicap, to the seventh day is a loss of fifteen, to the tenth day is a loss of thirty, to the end of the month, it is a loss of one hundred; If this matter ends in the defeat of Fang Ba, the odds are as high as an astonishing one to three hundred!

"Brother Xiao, you know, our brother Li is like this...... Bad temper, hey......" Gu Zhong deliberately sighed and said, "Isn't this difficult for those of us below?" The business can't be done, and I have to support it every day, I really don't know when it will be a head. ”

"That, Mr. Lu is not there?"

"Oh, he's not here, he's gone back to the mainland."

Long Zhixiao seemed to have gained something before he came, and he was not surprised that he had a little bit of Luli's background, "So, it has been like this for the past few days?" ”

"Isn't it? Oh, Brother Xiao, be careful of the hot pot, this thing is too hot. ”

"Know, know." Long Zhixiao grinned, took off the hot pot lid familiarly, the soup that had begun to boil filled the air with a spicy and fragrant smell, and he took a long breath, "It's still good to smell like this, it smells so comfortable!" With that, he took a plate of mutton from the conveyor belt that had just been started and poured it into it in one go.

He ate in full swing, and after a while, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, Gu Zhong had no other guests to entertain, and waited inch by inch, watching him eat gradually slowing down, thinking that his appetite was almost over, so he dared to ask cautiously: "Brother Xiao, there is something, I don't know if I can ask you for advice?" ”

"What's the matter?"

"You also know that I originally followed the master, not our Taoist, and then followed our brother to do this little business, this ...... Many people and things don't understand. ”

Long Zhixiao laughed. "You have been too modest, young man! Now on Hong Kong and Kowloon Road, who is not looking at you with wide eyes? From here, though you are not of the Way, you ...... Hey, hey, hey......" he sneered. The following words were swallowed back.

"Uh......" Gu Zhong's mind turned, and something came to mind. Fang Ba is also a senior in the rivers and lakes, originally thought that relying on his identity and status, he would cooperate with Lu Li and give him face, who knew that he would dare to shake his head and refuse? Sending someone over to make trouble at the moment was also with the intention of humiliating the other party, thinking that in less than a few days, someone Lu would be obedient to the door. He was willing to be obscene, but he didn't want this damn mainland guest to have a strong temper, so he refused to admit defeat, and turned back to the mainland - there was no one in the store, and everything came to a standstill, but Fang Ba rode the tiger in a difficult way.

Long Zhixiao watched coldly, and naturally saw clearly, and it was only four days now. Song Hu, Shanji, and Caiji were very dissatisfied with Fang Ba's opinion! The practice of the elderly has hindered their financial path for no reason - since ancient times. This kind of thing is the most hated, but Fang Ba has no steps for him to take a step, and the two sides are at a stalemate.

Long Zhixiao didn't have a good impression of Fang Ba, and he also didn't have any bad feelings, so he watched the matter with the mentality of watching the excitement at first, but soon after. Especially after learning about the business done by Lu Li and that Song Hu and others, his enthusiasm immediately soared: since the beginning of July, more than 7,000 tons of vegetables have been transported from the mainland to Hong Kong! Such a number sounds like a lot, but it is allotted two months. If it is distributed to more than 4.5 million Hong Kong citizens, it will not be a very impressive achievement. But in Long Zhixiao's view, one of the biggest advantages of this kind of business is that it is like a spring that will never dry up, with endless development prospects!

But these are not enough to make Long Zhixiao think about other things, but another reason that makes him even more excited: all of this is legal!

Although Long Zhixiao is not ashamed of his identity as a Jianghu person, there is really nothing to show for the glory of his ancestors, and a person of his level has detailed information in the Hong Kong police's o, but sometimes, it is better to maintain social stability than to fill the ditch in Hong Kong prisons, so it is convenient for officials to adopt a tolerant attitude towards people like Long Zhixiao. But this kind of tolerance in Long Zhixiao's feeling is tantamount to being too upside down, once the other party doesn't want to tolerate it, he can only be obedient and report to the police station every day! This is really extremely painful and humiliating for him, who has always been above people.

Long Zhixiao sighed, put these useless thoughts away, and put on a very curious look about the development of this matter as usual, and asked, "Ah Zhong, when will you come back?" ”

"I don't know, you don't know Mr. Lu's temper, what he has to do, we are never allowed to ask more. And ,......"

"And what?"

Gu Zhong smiled, didn't answer his question, and asked rhetorically, "Mr. Long, have you eaten well?" ”

"Oh, eat well, eat well." Long Zhixiao nodded with a smile and said, "Every time I come to you, I will always eat more than at home." Pay for it. ”

"Yes, Chenghui 450 round."

Long Zhixiao took out five 100 Hong Kong dollars, "Don't look for it." ”

Gu Zhong thanked Long Zhixiao and handed over the banknotes to A Mao, both of them were a little bitter in their hearts, when there was no such thing, how many banknotes were handled every day? And now? In one day, only 500 yuan was sold, and these incomes were not even enough to pay the water and electricity bills in the past few days!

Long Zhixiao had lunch, he didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, and Gu Zhong gossiped without a match, seeing that after twelve o'clock at noon, a few more people came outside the hot pot restaurant, and a horse boy guarding the door took a few steps up, and was about to intimidate and stop him, but recognized the person in the lead, "Brother Tiger, why are you here?" The eighth master said that ...... is not allowed"

Song Hu was out of place, raised his hand and gave Ma Zai a mouthful, "Fuck your mother!" Are you scaring me with the eighth master? ”

Ma Zai was beaten, with a lot of hatred in his heart, and he knew that he couldn't provoke him, so he took a few steps back in fear, "No, no, no, no, you are big, I am small, how dare you scare you with the eighth master?" Please come in, please come in? ”

Song Hu naturally heard the disbelief in the other party's words, but there was something else to do at the moment, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him, snorted, and pushed the door in; When a few people inside heard the sound and looked over, Long Zhixiao immediately turned his face cold and turned his head, "Brother Hu, Caiji, Shanji, oh, and Brother Li, you ......"

"Ah Zhong, what do you want to do?" As soon as Song Hu opened his mouth, there was a thunder and smoke cannon, "Let him cooperate and refuse, let him bow his head and refuse, do you want to drag it out like this?" You old mother, these hateful old guests! ”

"Brother Hu, what are you and I anxious about? That's not something I can call the shots, right? Gu Zhong was scolded for no reason, and he was helpless, so he laughed with him and arranged for a few people to sit down, "Brother Li, you haven't been here for a long time. Have you had lunch and have a hot pot? ”

"I'm on fire now, and I still eat hot pot?" Tan Huili also spoke quite politely, and asked: "Ah Zhong, you have followed Li Ji the longest, what does he want?" He and Fang Lao are vindictive, but they can't just let go of the money and make money, right? What are you doing, you are young, what kind of old rivers and lakes are you doing? ”

"Yes." Shan Ji also said: "Ah Zhong, over there in Yuen Long, Brother Hu has already called Ah Zhong, let them get out of the car and get out of the car, how about it, let's go as usual tomorrow, right?" ”

"That's not going to work."

Song Hu slapped the table hard and shouted, "Why don't you get out of the car?" Shanji, Caiji, how many times a day, delay a day, do you know how much the fuck delayed me? ”

"Brother Hu, it's not that I don't agree, in fact, I can't be such a master, but you also know the temper of that brother Li, if this matter is not solved, even if we send a car to the mainland, he will not agree at all. When the time comes, it can only be an empty run. ”

Of course, Song Hu knew that what Gu Zhong said was true, but every day of delay made him lose more than 100,000 yuan in income! If you continue to consume like this, when will it be a head? Therefore, he did not hesitate to quarrel with Fang Bada, which was regarded as temporarily lifting the ban on the Yuen Long container yard. Unexpectedly, there are still such difficulties here? He was as angry as a bull in the bullring, his nose fluttering, and he gasped, "That...... I don't care, you give me to go up right away and find Luli to come down. Let's make it clear! ”

Gu Zhong thought for a while and shook his head decisively, "Brother Hu, what are you doing for me in the matter between your bosses?" I can't do this kind of thing, so you might as well ask for another skill. ”

"Let your damn ......" Song Hu only scolded half a sentence, and the one behind him actually swallowed it back, "If I can find him, what are I going to do with you?" I don't even know where he is now, how can I find him? ”

"I don't know." Gu Zhong replied with a bitter face: "He has long legs and will walk everywhere." Besides, Brother Li has a lot of friends, and at this time, I don't know where it is. You'd better be calm and wait for him to come back. Fortunately, he said that he would be able to come back in a week at most. ”

"Nonsense, what if you can't come back?"

"Then I'm sorry, I can't help it." (To be continued.) )
