Chapter 4: Surprise

Although he roughly figured out their intentions, Sun Dayong was still a little puzzled by Cao Jianping's insistence that he had a new way to make money.

"Didn't Lao Tzu just open such a store, where did he get any new money?"

After carefully pondering Cao Jian's words in his mind, he finally figured out the reason.

The income in his case comes from the commission of the contracted store, and only Li Guangzhi, Li Xiaomu, and himself go to settle the commission every day, and the other people in the store only know that there are many customers who come to the door every day, but they don't know how much income they have. Cao Jianping: Even if they arranged eyeliner, they would definitely not be able to figure out the real income of this store for a while.

In Cao Jianping's opinion, a store with an area of only a few dozen square meters cannot feed hundreds of people no matter what. That's why they think they have another way to make money.

However, this is only a matter of detail. Cao Jianping's main purpose in calling himself over today should be just to seek money, not to really deal with himself. I guess I can save this little life.

However, Cao Jianping's request to join and make a fortune is not so easy to deal with. Sun Dayong was also a little worried about this.

Naturally, there is no new way to make a fortune, but if you want to make up a way to make a fortune, in such a short period of time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to make up credibility. Moreover, listening to the meaning of Cao Jianping's words just now, if he can't say something substantive at this time, I'm afraid that the charge of betrayal and self-reliance will still be deducted from my head.

Sun Dayong pondered in his mind for a long time. finally made up his mind to speak: "Boss Cao, you should have misunderstood. I really don't have any other way! ”

Without waiting for Cao Jianping to speak, he quickly explained: "Boss Cao, you may not know that there is so much money to be made in this unexpectedly case. I'll give you an explanation, my store now earns around 500,000 yen a day, and after deducting labor and other expenses, it can have at least 10,000,000 yen a month. ”

In desperation, Sun Dayong had no choice but to expose the income of his store at this time. He knew very well in his heart that even if he discounted the figure of his income, even this discounted figure was enough to arouse the greed of everyone in the house. But. Between giving up one's life and giving one's possessions. Naturally, he had to choose the latter now.

He ignored the surprised expression on Cao Jianping's face at the moment, but continued to say to himself: "It's because the income of this store is so good that I need to recruit so many brothers from the gang to help. ”

"First, I came to open a branch to grab land and make this business bigger. Second, let's go. Boss Cao, you also know which forces are on the other side of Shinjuku. Such a big piece of fat. If I don't have enough manpower, I'm afraid it won't be long before I'm eaten up."

"Come, O Dayong. Sit down and talk about it, let's sit down and talk about it slowly! Cao Jianping interrupted him a little eagerly at this moment, and pressed his shoulder very affectionately to signal him to sit down first. Then he casually dragged a cushion from the side and sat in front of Sun Dayong.

"You say your store can have tens of millions of net income a month? Dayong, you're not bluffing your brother Cao, are you? ”

"Boss Cao, how dare I bluff you! If you don't believe me, or I'll show you the account books in the store? ”

"You don't need to look at the ledger. Hehe, Dayong, you kid grew up under the noses of our brother, what you say, we can naturally believe it! You say, don't you? Cao Jianping raised his head and laughed twice, and asked as if jokingly to Wei Dong and the other four who had returned to the tatami mat at this time.

After Sun Dayong sat down, his seat was still facing away from the door. He laughed twice with Cao Jianping at the moment, but his ears were always paying attention to the movement behind him. It's a pity that what made him a little disappointed was that there was no sound at the door behind him, and it seemed that Li Guolin was still guarding the door and did not move the place.

"Dayong, since the income of your store is so high, you really need to recruit some people to watch it." Cao Jianping leaned forward, put his head in front of Sun Dayong, and said in an increasingly affectionate tone:

"I don't think so. Your brother Wei Dong has also been a foreman in Tokyo for ten years, and he is still very good at managing people. Your forty or so new clerks will simply be handed over to him to help you take care of them, and it just so happens that many of the people you pulled over were originally his subordinates, and he was easy to manage. ”

"As for the people you pulled from under Rongxing, I know that you don't deal with Rongxing, so let Haifeng go over and help you take it. You also know Brother Haifeng's ability and reputation that the forces of the Extreme Eastern Society wanted to enter Kasai back then, and it was he who led the brothers of the Martial Arts Department to beat the people of the Extreme Eastern Society. With him as a general, you don't have to worry about the safety of your store. ”

Cao Jianping looked at Sun Dayong with a smile, and finally concluded: "With Wei Dong and Haifeng helping you manage these brothers in the gang, you can free up your energy to think about the big thing of making a fortune." Dayong, what do you think of my arrangement? ”

Sun Dayong was listening to Cao Jianping with a serious and respectful expression on his face at this time, but he was scolding in his heart: "Boss Cao, your wishful thinking is really ruthless!" Lao Tzu used to dig your corner from the side secretly. It's good for you, your hoe can dig directly into the roots of Lao Tzu! ”

As far as he knew, Zhou Weidong and Jiang Haifeng were both confidants who had followed Cao Jianping for many years. If these two people really let them take over all the manpower they recruited, then he won't say anything about becoming the boss on his own in the future, I'm afraid that it won't be long before Cao Jianping will accept his shop.

Sun Dayong quickly thought about how to refuse Cao Jianping's arrangement. However, in such a short period of time, he could not think of a convincing reason for refusal. After thinking about it, he finally found that the only method he could use now was the word "drag".

As long as I can drag it out today, I can get out of this room safely. There is still the possibility of a turnaround in the future, at least it can give me more time to think about how to deal with it.

After making up his mind, he pretended to be elated and said to Cao Jianping: "Boss Cao, Brother Wei Dong, if they can come over to help me, it would be really great!" My first branch there will be open in about 20 days, and I will personally come to the door to invite the two big brothers, Wei Dong and Haifeng! ”

Cao Jianping squinted at Sun Dayong, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Dayong, I don't think you have to wait until your branch opens." Don't you need people in that store now? Weidong, they came over to help you earlier, and they could familiarize themselves with your business earlier. ”

"Boss Cao, I'm not alone in that store now. I'm just a minority shareholder. Inside the store. But there is also the cadre unit of the Shinjuku City Police Station. Brother Wei Dong, they are now in the past, and the other shareholders will definitely not agree to let them be managed. But if you want the two eldest brothers to go to the store to be the clerks and younger brothers who run errands, I can't do this! Sun Dayong explained to Cao Jianping with an embarrassed face.

"There's still a police element in your store? Dayong, you're really wild enough. You can hook up with the cops. Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager! Cao Jianping was a little skeptical about his words. I had to praise insincerely.

"Boss, our store is the first non-suspect office in Japan, and the waiver was issued by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. If it weren't for the Shinjuku Administration, it would have taken over the shares. Do you think we can handle such a big thing with just the few people in our store? When Sun Dayong said this, his tone was very proud, quite a bit of showing off his achievements in front of his elders.

The purpose of saying this was actually to gamble, betting that Cao Jianping might have a certain understanding of their store, but he didn't have a good grasp of all the circumstances. Especially in the relationship with the Shinjuku Ward Police Department. At the beginning, in order to maintain the sense of mystery and shock those gangsters who wanted to fight the autumn breeze, he and Li Guangzhi and others never revealed any specific details to outsiders.

Therefore, as long as Cao Jianping can be convinced, or rather, he cannot be sure how deep the involvement between Sun Dayong and the police is. It can make him have a lot more jealousy when making decisions.

Sure enough, after listening to Sun Dayong's show-off, Cao Jianping groaned for a while with a gloomy face, and finally changed the topic and said: "Dayong, since you can't be the master of the current store, you can always be the master of the newly opened branch, right?" How do you plan to arrange Weidong and them in the branch, can you tell us about your charter first? ”

Sun Dayong held his head a little proud, patted his chest and said, "Boss, don't worry about this, I can still be a lot of masters in the new store." As for how to arrange Brother Wei Dong and them coming, I don't have any idea, just according to what Boss Cao said before, I think it's good! ”

Sun Dayong is playing a young man who is a little proud because he has made a little money, and likes to talk about it but has no scheming. This is the only way he can think of at the moment that can match his procrastination. Such an image is very in line with his age, and if he plays it successfully, he should be able to more or less alleviate Cao Jianping's vigilance and attach importance to himself.

As long as Cao Jianping can feel that he can control himself, then the possibility that he can drag this matter over today will increase a lot. However, Sun Dayong is not confident about whether his performance can achieve the expected effect for the time being.

After Sun Dayong's words were finished, Cao Jianping did not continue to speak immediately. He first stared at Sun Dayong's face for a long time, as if studying his expression. It wasn't until Sun Dayong was a little flustered that he shifted his gaze to Zhou Weidong and the others next to him.

Sun Dayong tried to maintain his composure on the surface, pretending to look back at Cao Jianping as if nothing had happened. He noticed that at this time, Cao Jianping was using his eyes to communicate with Zhou Weidong and the others in some ways that only they could understand.

After a while, Cao Jianping, who turned his gaze back to Sun Dayong's face, spoke: "Dayong, I am very satisfied that you can agree with the arrangement I made before. However, since your branch won't open until 20 days later, then I'll ask Weidong and them to go to you tomorrow and bring back the dozens of brothers who were recruited by you before. ”

"Since your shop isn't open, it's useless for these people to stay with you. But Weidong and the others all rely on these brothers to eat. You're embarrassed to starve them for 20 days, are you? I'm in charge of this matter, and that's it. Dayong. Do you have any comments? ”

Sun Dayong secretly hated in his heart when he heard this, Cao Jianping's arrangement, but he didn't leave himself a chance at all! He pulled everyone away with this order, and all the work he did before became useless work!

"I don't have any opinions! Boss Cao, you are the boss, what you say is what you say! Sun Dayong was depressed, and his tone of voice couldn't help but have some gambling elements. However, his appearance is just in line with the stunned image he played before.

Cao Jianping seemed pleased with Sun Dayong's reaction. He laughed and patted Sun Dayong on the shoulder. comforted: "Dayong, don't worry. When your new store opens, I promise that Weidong and they will bring you a lot of these brothers, and they will definitely not delay you from making a fortune. Ha ha! ”

In the evening, Cao Jianping and their dinner party, Sun Dayong naturally didn't have the heart to participate. He excused himself to open the store at night. It was past five o'clock in the afternoon. hurriedly said goodbye from Cao Jianping and left.

On the way back. His face had been so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping water. The three younger brothers behind him were frightened by his appearance, and they didn't dare to speak all the way.

On the way, he found a small shop and had dinner, and when he returned to the store. It's already business hours after seven o'clock.

It's Saturday and business is doing well as usual. Waves of pleasure seekers kept pouring into the store, so that Sun Dayong was so busy that he had to temporarily suppress the irritability and worry in his heart.

Busy time always flies. In a blink of an eye, the time was half past eleven in the evening, and the customer flow in the store gradually became sparse at this time. Sun Dayong asked Xiao Zhao, who had sent the guests back, to sit in the seat in charge of reception, and he took a cup of hot water from the water dispenser and walked outside the store with it in his hand.

Taking a few deep breaths of the chilly air outside the house, he felt his mind clear after a busy night in the stuffy room. He crouched down on the steps at the side of the shop and lit himself a cigarette.

His mood at the moment, in addition to worrying about how to deal with Zhou Weidong and the others tomorrow, also has a kind of irritability that wants to get angry but can't find a partner.

The object of his anger is not someone else, but himself.

After leaving Cao Jianping's place, Sun Dayong, who was relieved from the tension, was very dissatisfied with his appearance this afternoon. In other words, he has become extremely dissatisfied with his recent appearance.

His current state of mind is a typical self-loathing psychology that arises after encountering a serious setback. This kind of psychology is mainly caused by the blow to self-confidence

Since the opening of the case, whether it is a high income beyond ordinary people, or a response surrounded by dozens of younger brothers, these things have made the previous Sun Dayong's self-confidence swell very much.

However, in front of Cao Jianping this afternoon, when he felt the frustration of being suppressed by the other party's momentum, and the powerlessness of not being able to think of any solution in the face of the crisis, the inflated self-confidence he had before disappeared without a trace like a punctured soap bubble.

This huge gap in mentality made Sun Dayong almost completely lose his courage and motivation at this time. For the predicament he is about to face tomorrow, he can't think of a solution, and he has already had a kind of "I can't help it anyway, so let's just do it" mentality.

He took a long puff of his cigarette and buried his head between his knees. Surrounded by the exhaled smoke, he gave up thinking and fled his thoughts into a numb nothingness.

The cigarette in his hand slowly burned to the end, and the heat of the burning tobacco gradually approached the skin between his fingers. Feeling this hot breath, he finally reacted at the moment before he was burned and flicked the cigarette butt out.

He let out a heavy sigh and looked up a little dazedly, intending to light another cigarette. At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure dragging a suitcase from the direction of the entrance of Ichiban Street.

Before he could focus his gaze on the figure, he heard a voice that was familiar but unbelievable.

"Eh, Dayong, what are you doing squatting at the door right now? Are you waiting to meet me? I said you're a god, how do you know I'm coming back today? ”

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, blinked twice harder, and hurriedly looked at the figure. Under the pink and white cherry blossom-colored light of the big light box in his store overhead, this tall guy who was looking at him with a smile on his face was not Li Guangzhi!

At this moment, in addition to surprise and doubt, Sun Dayong's heart was more of a sense of extreme relaxation after suddenly finding support in confusion. This feeling made him have no strength to stand up for a while, so he could only tilt his head blankly and look at Li Guangzhi with his mouth half open, but he couldn't even speak.

Li Guangzhi dragged his suitcase to him and squatted down. Some impatiently took the cigarette case from his hand, took out a cigarette and lit it, took a hard puff and said with satisfaction: "I can't smoke on the plane and bus this way, but I can't suffocate me!" ”

"Hey, Dayong, I said what are you doing here? Why, I haven't seen you for half a month, and you don't know me? Hey, are you alright? He saw that Sun Dayong had been stunned and didn't speak, so he jokingly pushed him on the shoulder, but Sun Dayong was pushed by him like this, but he fell back and sat on the ground.

Sun Dayong, who was fallen, is back to normal at this time. While propping himself up from the ground, he looked up and down at Li Guangzhi, who was squatting in front of him and smoking. After confirming that this was really Li Guangzhi himself, he couldn't help but ask a little confused: "Brother Guangzhi, didn't you keep saying that you would come back half a year after returning to China?" Why did you come back so soon? ”

Li Guangzhi was silent for a while with a strange face, and said indignantly in a particularly helpless tone: "Grass! Not to mention how unlucky this is! Do you think Lao Tzu wants to come back so early? Lao Tzu was brought back as a spy by the people of the national security! (To be continued......)
