Chapter 34: Dancing with Flies
In an underground casino in Hudong City, two men are walking back and forth with a large handful of bills, as if to figure out which table to bet on.
This is an old casino turned casino, with a locked gate and a fierce-looking bodyguard standing at the door. This place is only open to acquaintances, and strangers who want to come in must be introduced through a guò intermediary.
Gambling, since human beings know how to stand and use tools, has become a companion of human society. As long as human nature contains factors such as greed, risk-taking, laziness, etc., gambling will not die.
Unlike the legalization of gambling in foreign countries, gambling in China is a social cancer that the government focuses on cracking down.
Where there is demand, there is supply, and with that comes huge profits, so underground casinos came into being. Engaging in a lucrative underground economy such as pornography, gambling, and drugs is equivalent to buying a one-way ticket and running wildly, and it is basically impossible to get off the bus or turn back under the drive of huge profits. Even if he sued himself that today was the last time, he couldn't help but continue to do the "last vote" the next morning, until there was a strong external force to completely stop this qiē.
Although Xu Wenjie has been trying his best to whitewash himself over the years, and even put on the halo of a CPPCC member, he is still reluctant to give up underground casinos and the gray industry of loan sharks. The reason is none other than the huge profits that cannot be abandoned. As soon as he announces that he will not do it, someone else will take over the territory he has vacated in the next second.
Whoever does it is better to continue to do it yourself, and it is precisely because of its own deterrence that the underground industry in Hudong City has been very stable over the years. There is the government during the day, and there is a big guy like me Xu Wenjie at night. Therefore, Hudong City can become the largest metropolis in China. The underground godfather - a well-known bigwig-level figure on the road in Hudong City, Xu Wenjie is satisfied with the fear of others and admires the prestige added to him by his eyes. But he also knows that the government is powerful, so he has set up layers of firewalls in the relationship. As soon as there is a stir, he throws the car and asks his subordinates to take the blame for him, and he can't find his head at the legal level. After his subordinates entered, he would do everything he could to catch people, and after he came out, he was rewarded with a lot of money, so he was always at large.
This casino is one of his properties, but now the person in charge of taking care of it is Yuan Yunfei, who has eaten ashes at the Jiangnan real estate construction site. After coming out of the detention center, Yuan Yunfei was assigned by Xu Wenjie to be in charge here. Although he swore that he would get rid of the outsiders in Jiangzhou. But he was put on the other side, and Yuan Yunfei has always been indignant and wants to retaliate. But Xu Wenjie just made him wait and exiled him to this casino. Sharpen your temperament. Originally, there may have been room for discussion with Jiangnan Real Estate, but after the above-mentioned godfather Xu Wenjie was slapped in the face in public, there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two parties.
Driving Jiangnan Real Estate out of Hudong City, and even biting a big bite of meat from it is the scene Xu Wenjie is looking forward to now.
The construction site of Jiangnan Real Estate has started. Many construction vehicles come in and out every day. A busy scene. Xu Wenjie once asked the driver to drive to the construction site to stop and watch for a short time, and he had already thought of many ways to retaliate, but the time had not come.
"Sir, do you want to go to the VIP lounge to have a while?"
The Great Saint Brother Sun Hou, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in front of the two men and greeted.
Yuan Yunfei was assigned here, of course, he was also brought along, and now he is a supervisor in the field. Sun Hou was worried for several days, but the two giants beside him couldn't get rid of him for a day if they didn't decide the winner, so he had to continue his undercover career in Infernal Affairs.
One of the two men was his one-wire connector. After listening to Sun Hou's report, he decided to enter the casino in person to investigate and collect evidence. In the bag he was carrying. A camera is constantly recording the current state of the entire casino as evidence.
Under Sun Hou's covert involvement, the two men easily got into a relationship with a gambler, who brought them in.
"Okay, we've heard the name here in Ningdu, you can lead the way."
The man replied with a clean wave of the banknote in his hand.
The VIP room is a special box for some large families to come to gamble. Unlike the noisy hall, where there are many people, you can enjoy the VIP service here. Xu Wenjie has been running a casino for many years, and he does not directly take advantage of gamblers, but provides a lot of safe and meticulous services, because loan sharks and commissions alone are enough for him to eat. As long as the reputation is opened, gamblers will continue to squeeze through the threshold.
When Xu Wenjie was thinking about dealing with Qin Ran, Qin Ran was also secretly arranging to collect evidence, and the heart of harming people must not be dispensed without. As long as the other party has any abnormal movements, then Qin Ran will naturally use the evidence in his hand where it should be used.
With Sun Hou's undercover agent, many of Xu Wenjie's illegal activities were recorded by Guan Xin, but these are only peripheral evidence, and it cannot be proved that Xu Wenjie is directly related to him. But even if he can't get his throat straight by then, he can break his wings and hurt his vitality.
Li Desheng also showed Qin Ran's meaning through the middleman, that is, if the past is not investigated, in the future, everyone will not interfere with the river water, and everyone will earn their own money and will not interfere with each other.
OK, no problem, earning money first, it was just a misunderstanding before.
This is the reply given back by the intermediary.
It seems to be very smooth, after all, the consequences of that construction site incident are not strict. But Qin Ran couldn't rest assured, a local snake like Xu Wenjie swallowed the secret loss and was so generous that he felt wrong, so he still asked Guan Xin to command the secret activities in Hudong City.
Jiangnan Group is expanding across the country, and the bright and dark sides will definitely encounter obstacles, and Qin Ran has long been mentally prepared. Hudong City is his strategic town, so you must not make a half-point difference, since you have cards in your hand, you must always plant a few bombs in case of accidents.
"We supply this piece of river sand and building bricks, and your construction site should be no exception."
Three young people came to the construction site of Jiangnan Real Estate in Ningdu City and asked the manager Chen Hao to meet with them.
"Our company has regulations that these projects will be tendered in a unified manner, or Party B will be responsible for providing them. It's not in accordance with the rules for you to come to the door like this. ”
Chen Hao was well-informed on the construction site, and he was not frightened by the ruthless ruffian that these three people carried.
"You party stewards said let's come to you. As long as you agree to sign, they will do so. Otherwise......"
One of the young men said viciously.
"Third child, you scared Manager Chen like this, sit down first. Manager Chen. Everyone comes out to work to eat, and what they care about most is nothing more than the size of their own pocket. If you work hard for your boss, you might as well think more about yourself. You say the number according to the rules of the industry, as long as it is reasonable, we will never bargain and cooperate happily. ”
The first of the three said that he wanted to win over Chen Hao by giving kickbacks.
"We are a regular Hong Kong-funded company, so we follow the rules. Also, you said that this piece of sand and gravel is for you, I think I should call the director of the police station to ask for clarification. Is there such a thing? ”
After speaking, Chen Hao took out his mobile phone and prepared to dial the phone. As a territorial police station. He is the biggest snake, and he has dealings with all three religions and nine streams, so as soon as he came to Ningdu, Chen Hao took the initiative to establish a good relationship with the local police station.
"Alas, don't. We're just kidding. ”
It looks like the formation is not right. The young man hurriedly interrupted Chen Hao's phone call with a smile.
"Is the bidding okay, okay, let's go back and discuss."
Looking at the figures of the three of them in the distance, Chen Hao snorted, these little rabbit cubs want to pull the flag to scare Lao Tzu is still tender!
This kind of small ruffian is easy to get rid of, but it is difficult to get rid of those who are really related to the local magnates.
"My uncle said that he was on the phone with you, and that I should just come to you directly. Manager Chen. What should you do with the 100 tons of steel? ”
A high-spirited young man carrying a satchel and a big boss said in front of Chen Hao.
He is the nephew of the deputy head of the construction area where the construction site is located. It's not big, but it's a lot of style. The deputy head of the district did call Chen Hao and told him about the steel, hoping to give priority to the recommended visitors under the same conditions.
Jiangnan Real Estate is alone in southern Jiangsu Province, although it is very famous in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, but it is a newcomer in southern Jiangsu who has no foundation, so many people are eyeing this piece of fat. This requires Chen Hao to have enough experience and life experience to deal with such a problem, as a general outside, it is impossible to consult Qin Ran for everything, and he needs to deal with it at his own discretion.
"Our company has a stipulation that you must participate in the bidding, so this step must be met. There is also the quality of the steel must be qualified, as long as it meets the conditions of our bidding, it can be taken care of a little under the same conditions. ”
Some money has to be earned by other people, just like the steel on the construction site has to be bought, but who to buy still has to be considered. This young man is frivolous, Chen Hao is not satisfied, but now that he has just arrived, the county official is not as good as the current management, he decided to give face to the deputy district head, as long as the quality is qualified and the price is higher, it is still acceptable.
"Rest assured, the quality is absolutely no problem, they are all new goods from Hudong Steel Factory. I will follow up on the specific procedures, let's stop here today, I still have something to do, and I will have time to eat together in the future. ”
The young man seemed to be familiar with this situation, and walked away in a BMW car in a chic manner.
Relying on a little background to come out, this kind of person who doesn't know the height of the sky will kick the steel plate sooner or later, Chen Hao looked at the back of the car in the distance and thought.
The director of the construction bureau of the construction site suddenly called Chen Hao to his office, saying that there were some things to discuss. There are also some procedures that are stuck in the District Construction Bureau and have not been approved, so Chen Hao hurried over to report as soon as he received a call.
As soon as he arrived at the office, Director Jiang of the District Construction Bureau poured bitter water, saying that his family's economic conditions were difficult, and now he wanted to change the house for decoration, but the cash gap was as much as 200,000 yuan.
Chen Hao understood as soon as he heard it, this Director Jiang poured bitter water is fake, and it is true that he wants to get 200,000 yuan from his own hands.
looks like a polite and cultural person, but the appearance is too ugly, almost naked to ask Jiangnan Real Estate for money, and it is undisguised.
"Some of the documents on your construction site are not very standardized, and the discussion in the bureau is very lively when it is approved. Alas, it's hard for me to do it. If you don't approve it, you do things according to the rules; Approval, but also to cooperate with investment promotion. Dude, do you think it's hard for me to do it? ”
Director Jiang said to Chen Hao with a sad face.
Chen Hao used the excuse of going to the bathroom and called Qin Ran to report the matter. Chen Hao has also done the secret transfer of interests, but Qin Ran said that it would not work to send money naked like this, so this time he still had to listen to the boss.
"It's too ugly to eat!"
Qin Ran's first reaction after hearing it was like this.
"What do you mean? Do you want to give money? ”
As a party at the scene, Qin Ran still has to listen to Chen Hao's opinion.
"We outsiders have just entered the site, and if we get stuck here and stop working, the loss of a day will be more than that."
Chen Hao didn't answer directly, but just knocked on the side.
"I know, just do what you want, but the way must be changed, you remind him by the way."
Which is more important, Qin Ran knows that now the big and small ghosts are eyeing him, mainly because the company's strength is not strong enough. Now the top priority is to hurry up and strengthen your company, and you can turn a blind eye to some small things.
Finally, under Chen Hao's "kind" reminder, our Director Jiang recommended a person to help provide some building materials needed for the construction site in the near future, but the price was a little higher, and it happened to be 200,000 yuan to end the matter.
Under the huge benefits, real estate is like a big piece of fat, attracting flies from all walks of life. Although Qin Ran couldn't bear to be disturbed, he had to dance with the flies. (To be continued......)
