In fact, since Zheng Huaizhu came forward to call some well-known big brothers in the provincial capital to eat that meal together, the atmosphere in the entire provincial capital suddenly became tense. When Zhang Cheng just fell, although everyone wanted to eat the piece of meat in the east of the city, after all, they still had some scruples, and what they did was basically the article under the table. But after that meal, these questions were put on the table, and if you did any more articles under the table, you might be driven into the head by others, and when it was your turn to shoot, there would not even be a bowl of soup left.

And these days, Zheng Huaizhu is not idle, on the one hand, he raises money to buy a house and land in the east of the city, and before the news of the development of the east of the city comes out, he buys the most industries at the least cost, and when it is developed in the future, he uses it as a bargaining chip in exchange for the greatest benefits. On the other hand, they are recruiting troops and buying horses, and the momentum is very large, so that they can quickly expand their strength, and on the other hand, they can also show their muscles to those big brothers in the provincial capital, in exchange for more right to speak.

He is not a stupid person, of course he doesn't expect to be able to send away those arrogant big brothers in the rivers and lakes with one meal, he must have a red heart and prepare with both hands.

Compared with other Jianghu forces, his biggest advantage is that he has the first hand, before the others have received any rumors, he already knows that the east of the city is very likely to be developed, and secondly, his force has an amazing influence in Baidao. But this does not mean that he does not have congenital deficiencies, his congenital deficiencies are that the development time is too short, and it can be said that he does not have his own foundation in the provincial capital.

It is precisely because of this that you must be careful everywhere, as long as you make a wrong step, it is very likely that you will lose everything.

"Boss Fang, Wei Lao, the grade of this hotel is a little worse, but in the entire provincial capital, only in this hotel can you eat such a fresh pufferfish. This kind of delicacy is not something that ordinary people dare to enjoy. Come on, come on, taste. ”

Just when the forces in the provincial capital had begun to wrestle for the territory in the east of the city, in a hotel in the center of the provincial city that did not seem to be too large in scale and not too high-grade, Fang Yueyuan, Wei Huandong and Zheng Huaizhu were in a quiet private room, tasting the white sauce puffer fish carefully prepared by the chef.

There are many side dishes, but the main dish is only one plate, a white and greasy as white jade in the Jingdezhen Zhengkou oval fish plate, two puffer fish side by side on it, the milky white soup is like milk, the soup is rich, and the aroma is overflowing.

China has had the habit of eating puffer fish since ancient times, and there are more than a dozen kinds of puffer fish practices handed down from ancient books, and Su Dongpo, a scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty, is even more fond of eating puffer fish. However, although the meat of the puffer fish is delicious and nutritious, the internal organs and blood contain highly poisonous, if people eat the puffer fish that is not treated cleanly, it will not take long for the symptoms of poisoning such as numbness of the lips to appear, and in a very short period of time it will stop breathing and die, so some people call eating puffer fish a life.

Zheng Huaizhu didn't know when he knew that this hotel puffer fish was doing well, when Fang Yueyuan came to the provincial capital for the second time to discuss cooperation matters, he brought Fang Yueyuan here as soon as possible, Wei Huandong is now barely their partner, of course, he will not be missing.

After letting Fang Yueyuan finish, Zheng Huaizhu stretched out his chopsticks, took a piece of fish belly meat and put it in his mouth. It's not that he doesn't know etiquette, but that puffer fish is different from other food, he is the master, and the chopsticks are just out of etiquette to dispel Fang Yueyuan and Wei Huandong's concerns.

Wei Huandong has never eaten puffer fish, but he is a great name for puffer fish that he has admired for a long time. When the plate of white sauce puffer fish was first served, the old gentleman opened his eyes and studied it for a while, but he did not find out what kind of fish it was. It wasn't until Zheng Huaizhu made it clear that it was a puffer fish that he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that this thing is a puffer fish?" ”

"Wei Lao's first time eating?"

Wei Huandong was also affordable, and nodded confidently: "I've just heard of it before, how can this kind of precious thing, like our status, be eaten lightly?" Or with little taste. ”

Zheng Huaizhu pretended not to hear the half-truth and half-truth sarcasm in his words, and smiled and took a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it on the plate in front of him: "This puffer fish has to be eaten while it is hot, Wei Lao tastes more." ”

Wei Huandong picked up the piece of fish and put it in his mouth, only to feel that the meat was smooth and greasy, and it was indeed much more delicious than ordinary fish, and praised it a few times: "Not bad, not bad, this fish is good, and the cook's craftsmanship is even more first-class." Lao Fang, you are in Binhai, there should be no shortage of fish, how about tasting the fish made by the chefs in our provincial capital? ”,

"The provincial city is a great talent, even if you don't have to taste it, you can think of it, and the cooking is definitely more delicious than our coastal cooks."

Wei Huandong laughed: "You are very unrealistic. If you don't dare to eat, you don't dare to eat, and you have to say so many reasons. ”

Fang Yueyuan smiled faintly, ignored him, and also put a chopstick fish meat in his mouth.

"That's right." Wei Huandong laughed and said: "Old Fang, remember this place, one day invite my two baby daughters to try it too, I haven't seen those two little girls for a few days, I really want to think about it." ”

"If you want to invite, it should be that they invite you as juniors, how can there be any reason for you to invite them? Doesn't that spoil them? ”

"Hehe, these two girls have long been used to you." Wei Huandong talked about it, took a sip of wine, and wanted to talk about the appearance of Fang Xiaochen's Liu Xin when Cheng Zhi made a big fuss in the bathing center that day.

Fang Yueyuan's eyes were like torches, he opened his mouth, and immediately knew what he was going to say, and hurriedly stopped him: "Old Wei, the three of us got together today, not to talk about those two little girls." ”

Wei Huandong was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "That's right, when I think of those two girls, I like them in my heart, alas, I really regret it, why did I find a woman back then, and give birth to one or two such daughters like him." Lao Fang, to be honest, how much incense did you burn in your last life? ”

"Then only God knows."

As long as Fang Xiaochen and Liu Xin, the two goddaughters who have only been recognized for a short time, Wei Huandong's whole person is like being twenty years younger, after listening to Fang Yueyuan's words, he laughed again, and then touched his chin and said: "It looks like the New Year is coming, these two girls must give me this New Year's greeting as a godfather." Alas, I am worried. ”

"Worried about what?"

"Those two girls have grown up in front of you since they were young, what good things haven't you seen? If I, the godfather, can't come up with something decent for them to use as New Year's money, where should this old face go? ”

"You recognize my goddaughter, I can't help with this." Fang Yueyuan pushed 265 and directly cut off Wei Huandong's back road.

"Who says you can't help? You grew up watching those two girls, what they like and what they don't like, haven't you counted it in your heart as a father? Can you help me think about what they want that you haven't given them? ”

Fang Yueyuan thought sideways for a moment and slowly shook his head. He really couldn't think of it, from the time when Fang Xiaochen knew how to ask for things, Fang Yueyuan's love for her had already reached the level of doting, and Fang Yueyuan, who could basically be satisfied, bought it without thinking about it, and many times Fang Xiaochen only had three minutes of heat, and when things were bought, it didn't take a few days to use the excuse of not liking them or throw them aside or give them away, Fang Yueyuan never asked.

With such a strong economic backing, Fang Xiaochen has never been unsatisfactory in terms of material life, Wei Huandong asked Fang Yueyuan to help think about this, which really gave him a problem.

Zheng Huaizhu said with a smile on the side: "This is easy to do, during the Chinese New Year this year, Wei Huandong will buy a few exquisite small things to deal with the past for the time being, and when we open up the situation in the future, Wei Lao will invest and open a branch for them in the east of the city, won't this be over?" ”

"Open a branch for them in the east of the city? I'm afraid it's not easy. ”

"How so?"

Wei Huandong put down his chopsticks: "As far as I know, Pang Liuzhi and Cui Guangping have already started to act, looking at the situation, it seems that they don't agree with Huai Shao's mention." ”

"Old Wei also knows these things?"

"I'm not dizzy, how can I not know the actions of those kids?"

Zheng Huaizhu snorted: "Since this stubble is mentioned, we have to open the skylight and say something bright, Boss Fang is in Binhai, and he doesn't know much about the affairs of our provincial capital." In fact, expecting to settle the distribution of the territory in the east of the city with one meal, I, Zheng Huaizhu, have not been arrogant enough to do so. The reason why they were invited to that meal was to put things on the table, and now it seems that this purpose has been achieved. What we should do next, we have to discuss it carefully. ”

Fang Yueyuan's eyes flashed: "I really have to discuss it carefully, I don't know what Huai Shao thinks about this?" ”

Zheng Huaizhu took out a map from his bag with a heavy expression and unfolded it on the table: "Boss Fang, please look, this is the current map of the distribution of forces in the eastern part of the city, now not only Lao Jia and Cui Guangping, but other forces have also begun to take action one after another, each grabbing the mountain." At present, it has not yet been reached, but it is not far from white-hot. According to our friends at the police, signs of instability in the eastern part of the city have caught the attention of the police. ”,

That map is still an administrative map of the provincial capital, and compared with the one Zheng Huaizhu took out at the dinner before, this division of the area is more detailed, each area is marked with a different color pen, and the name of the boss of the force is written next to it. Judging from the map, the various forces have formed a situation of dogs and teeth, Cui Guangping's territory has an enclave of Lao Jia, and Lao Jia's territory and Pang Liuzhi's territory bite into each other, it looks like a mess, and I can't figure out a clue.

But this is not what attracts Fang Yueyuan, what Fang Yueyuan is most interested in is the picture itself. Originally, such an intricate map of the distribution of forces, if ordinary people came to do it, eighty percent would make it look like a big trap, a small circle, and a small trap dot. However, this map is quite orderly, not only marking all the forces clearly, but also looking quite neat from the surface, and ordinary people will never be able to do it.

Fang Yueyuan is also an expert, after reading the picture, he couldn't help but sigh a few times, and said again and again: "Good work, good work, the person who does this work must have received professional training in map work, and he can't do it without a five, seven, or eight years of skills." ”

Zheng Huaizhu said with a smile: "Boss Fang has won the award, this picture is really good, but Boss Fang wants to praise me, but he praised the wrong person, this picture is what I asked a staff officer of the headquarters to do with the help of the training department. ”

As he spoke, he moved the picture closer to Fang Yueyuan's: "I heard that Boss Fang is also from a military background, and he should see this picture much more clearly than those of us who have never been in contact with this kind of thing, I don't know what Boss Fang thinks about this picture?" ”

Fang Yueyuan picked up this map, looked at it carefully for a while, put it on the table, pondered for a moment, and said: "Judging from this map, it can be said that you have me, I have you, it should be in the early stage of turf competition, and what is marked on the map does not mean that it is the final result." But it's messy enough, not only the people we met at dinner that day, but also some other people who have never heard of names, it seems that they all regard Chengdong as a piece of fat, and everyone wants to take two bites. ”

Wei Huandong sighed: "Fortunately, Zhang Cheng's house left such a large piece of territory, if the territory is small, it is really not enough." ”

"No matter how much territory Zhang Cheng has laid, it's useless, because a yellow-haired girl who has nothing to do with him has given away the family wealth that has worked hard for decades, instead of feeling sorry for him, it is really better to study how to grab food, and now all the gods and goddesses have shown their faces, and those who used to hide and refuse to come out can no longer sit still, and want to add a handful of firewood to this fire, hehe." Zheng Huaizhu sneered twice, grabbed a chopstick and chewed the fish meat slowly.

Fang Yueyuan took a deep breath: "If you want to make a move, now is the best time, if you can't make a decisive move now, it won't take two months, I'm afraid this best time will be missed, and it will be too late to do it at that time." ”

Wei Huandong and Zheng Huaizhu both nodded, deeply impressed by his mention.

Although Wei Huandong does not have much culture, he is an old Jianghu, and he is much more familiar with things on the rivers and lakes than Zheng Huaizhu, a rising star with a high IQ, as soon as Fang Yueyuan's words came out, he already understood the meaning of his words.

Now it is the stage where the competition for territory is about to reach a white-hot stage, whether it is Lao Jia or Pang Liuzhi, because Zheng Huaizhu intentionally revealed some news about the east of the city at the wine bureau that day, they all have a new understanding of the territory in the east of the city. Whether it is out of the mix, or a serious businessman, all about the word "profit" is the word, but the cake is only so big, no matter who wants to get the greatest benefit, it must harm the interests of others.

If it is a businessman, when faced with this situation, the general means adopted are relatively gentle, and they will not use too drastic means to solve it unless it is absolutely necessary. But these people are in the name of legitimate businessmen on the surface, and they advocate violent means in their bones, since they want turf, the first thing that comes to mind is to use their fists to solve the problem. In the face of interests, the friendship that has been accumulated in ordinary times is obviously insignificant. In just a few days, the fire in the eastern part of the city has become more and more vigorous, otherwise it would not have attracted the attention of the police.

But it was useless for the police to pay attention, the last time they raided Zhang Cheng, it was completely under the pressure of Cheng Weiguo, and the local public security had to cooperate in order to make such a big move in a short period of time and overturn Zhang Cheng in one fell swoop. Now that there is no pressure from the military, the police force will not be able to gather at all in the short term, and at most they can only "pay close attention" and "seize the typical examples." ,

In this way, the courage of those big brothers in the rivers and lakes is getting bigger and bigger, and the battle for the east of the city is getting more and more intense, and they have gradually begun to tear their faces and fight. And this time is the best time for Fang Yueyuan and others to intervene.

From the perspective of the police, it is just the time to pay attention to the situation in this area, and even if the police force is deployed, there will not be much action in the short term. From other points of view, it is in a delicate period when various forces want to tear their faces but do not tear their faces, and constantly test their opponents in small groups, both sides still have reservations, and there is no idea of using the old capital to fight a vicious battle, if Fang Yueyuan intervenes strongly at this time, it can completely achieve the effect of a surprise soldier. This time must be accurate, early or late.

If it was early, the other big brothers in the rivers and lakes didn't tear each other's faces, if Fang Yueyuan and Zheng Huaizhu intervened at that time, the others might join forces to defeat this biggest threat first. And in the initial stage of the turf struggle, Fang Yueyuan and Zheng Huaizhu will not move, which will give others an illusion, thinking that Zheng Huaizhu and they will really be naïve enough to think that those Jianghu bosses have promised them to mention Cheng Dù, so that they can paralyze the bigwigs in the provincial capital to the greatest extent.

Equally troublesome if it's late. First of all, when the competition between all parties is at a fever pitch, all the bosses have already beaten their eyes and moved out of the old capital, in order to maintain the peace in the east of the city, the police will not hesitate to use all the police force they can use, even if they are not prepared. The second is that even if the police are not strong, because all forces have increased their strength, Fang Yueyuan and Zheng Huaizhu want to intervene with lightning speed, the difficulty will increase a lot, and the cost performance will be much lower.

If it was any later, it would be even worse, at that time, the territory had been allocated and the shape was set, Fang Yueyuan and Zheng Huaizhu had become outright outsiders, and the situation was even more difficult to open.

"Sixth Brother also said that now is the best time to do it, it seems that Boss Fang and Sixth Brother are really heroes."

The mysterious sixth brother standing behind Zheng Huaizhu was also seen by Fang Yueyuan, and he knew his relationship with Zheng Huaizhu, so in front of Fang Yueyuan, Zheng Huaizhu did not hide his existence at all. After Fang Yueyuan heard this, he didn't show too much surprise, and said quietly: "Since he also said so, then we only have one question left, that is, where should this first bite be taken." ”

As he spoke, he slowly drew a circle on the map with his chopsticks, and with the flip of his wrist, a glittering trace gradually appeared where the chopsticks crossed, enclosing the entire eastern part of the city.
