After the last incident, Li Er no longer paid attention to Huang Dakuo. On the occasion of the first anniversary of the opening of the Garment City, Huang Dakuo took this opportunity to celebrate the first anniversary of the opening of the hotel to entertain Li Er in the Phoenix Hotel, wanting to ease the conflict with Li Er. After Li Er finished the banquet, he no longer talked about the bad things in the past with Huang Dakuo, and wanted to go home after the meal, but Huang Dakuo didn't follow him, so he didn't take him to the manager's room in the garment city to drink tea. It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Li Er agreed to Huang Dakuo's request, and the two entered the glass door of the garment city one after the other. Coming in, Li Er looked to the north, the first section of the counter or the driver Wang Youxin's wife was sorting out the clothes, and then looked forward, startled him, only to see the three fat men standing behind the second section of the counter, looking at him coldly, and then looking forward, Li Er was even more surprised, only to see the third section next to the three fat men standing behind the counter of the fourth phoenix, and then the previous section is the big phoenix, and the next section is the second phoenix, and the first section is the fat bean daughter-in-law, and the eight sections of the counter only enter the door The first and last two sections are rented by outsiders, and the remaining five sections, One color changed the Zhou family sisters. This huge change made Li Er stunned on the spot. He turned his face and looked at the counter in the south again, and the first section of the door was the husband of the female accountant, he knew this person, and when they saw Li Er looking at him, they nodded at him very friendly, which was regarded as a greeting. Looking ahead, the second section is an old man, and there is a man in the back, Li Er doesn't know him, and then look back, there are three girls, one person and one section, all of whom are new masters. Only in the last two sections are the old tenants who nodded to Li Er, they know that Li Er is Boss Huang's customer, so they are all very enthusiastic. Walking to the oncoming four-section counter, Li Er stretched his neck and looked inside, the salesman was just about to explain, Huang Dakuo shook his hand, they smiled and stopped talking, two security guards stood at the staircase, saw the boss and Li Er coming, first stood up and then saluted, Li Er nodded with satisfaction to the two of them. With Huang Dakuo up to the second floor, he entered the manager's room. Wufeng knew that he was sorry for Li Er, so he quickly took out the best tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Li Er. Li Er smiled at her, which was regarded as a thank you, and also expressed forgiveness for her gaffe.

Li Er pointed to the three fat men on the monitor and asked, "What's going on?" It's all replaced by their own people, and the fertilizer and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders. ”

Wufeng hurriedly explained: "My third sister sells tofu, she can't earn 20,000 yuan a year, she comes and goes in the wind and rain, suffers from sin, I see her pitiful, so I quit the family in front of me and gave her the second section, my eldest sister They also came to me, and my brother and daughter-in-law, cough, divide it, what can I do, they are all sisters, five fingers and hearts." ”

Li Er pointed to the old man and the households in the south and asked, "Where does this relationship come from?" ”

Huang Dakuo scratched his head: "Hi." It's a long story, an old man came that day, saying that it was my own uncle, I had never seen it when I was so old, and those middle-aged women, all of whom were my relatives, my three aunts and a cousin. It was all confirmed by Wang Shengli and her father, and my father and mother came when they died, and the sentence was still right: "No one asks about the poor on the street, but the rich have distant relatives in the United States." When I opened a mall, I surrounded her, and I was on her side, and the family affection was embarrassing. ”

Li Er coughed: "What about the rent?" ”

Huang Dakuo looked helpless: "My uncle is five percent off, and the other eight percent off, no way, charge a few less money to protect family affection." ”

Li Er let out a sigh of relief, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and wrote a line of words and handed it to Huang Dakuo: "Brother, don't leak the heavenly opportunity, work hard, be steady, it's not easy to get a family business, don't ruin it lightly." As he spoke, he handed the note to Huang Dakuo, and then only said that the tea was good, and no longer commented on the shopping mall.

Huang Dakuo took the note and looked at it, and it said that four zeros are equal to one zero. I don't understand the meaning, I guess I asked Li Er, he wouldn't say, in order to respect Li Er, he solemnly put the note in the top box of the bookcase behind him, and he forgot about the note the next day. Four years later, when he moved out of the mall and cleaned up his bookcase, he found the note. When he picked it up and looked at it, he understood the meaning of the note, and in four years, he fell from a millionaire to a worthless pauper, Li Er saw it clearly four years ago. also wrote the results on paper, blaming himself for not studying the true meaning of the note, so as to avoid evil. What are the four zeros, isn't it that they are working in vain if they have no money, and the last zero is now penniless. Ahem, regret not being at the beginning, damn it, damn it, I damn it.

Huang Dakuo's dilapidation has to start from four years ago.

The three fat men and their five sisters, in the first year of entering the mall, were quite honest. When I first entered the industry, I didn't understand anything, so I learned from others. Uncle Huang in the south is a farmer, and it's the same, he nodded his head in the first year, and operated honestly, although he collected less rent, Huang Dakuo's life was still very good. The main income of the garment city is his four counters, and wholesale is his main income. The van that went in and out was not pulling clothes, but the hundred-dollar bill. On the large market within a radius of dozens of miles, more than half of the clothing sold is wholesaled from Huang Dakuo.

The sun can't shine at noon, everything is good and bad, and the mall began to go downhill, starting from the three fat people.

It turned out that the three fat men were at the counter in the second section, and the guests were all just looking at the goods at the counter in the first section. She was in a hurry, so she couldn't help leaning out of the counter to solicit customers, and as soon as he did this, her sisters followed suit, and for a while you quarreled with me, and the order was a little chaotic. Uncle Huang over there saw that he couldn't do it, so he simply walked out of the counter, stood on the venue where he entered the door, and gestured to let the guests who entered the door look at the goods on his side. Huang Dakuo's aunts were also helping at the counter. In this way, two camps were formed, the north and the south. The three fat men were not to be left behind, standing directly in the door, coming in and pulling one by one, Uncle Huang looked at it, this is okay, standing directly at the door to pull people, isn't this a monopoly, he flashed and lined up in front of the three fat men to pull people. Wufeng and Huang Dakuo called the two of them to the manager's office several times, but they didn't care, and their nephews played lanterns - as usual (uncle), people who do business, who doesn't blush when they see money?

Dafeng took her gang to Wufeng to complain, while Huang Dakuo's aunt and uncle accused him of their crimes with snot and tears. It made the clothing city smoky, and who said it didn't listen. Uncle Huang relied on the old man and sold the old, and used Uncle Huang's identity to suppress Huang Dakuo, and the three fat men jumped out and said that Huang Dakuo was the son-in-law of the door, and this clothing city belonged to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family should be in charge. The one qiē here has one-fifth of her Wednesday phoenix. This trouble not only made the garment city yellow, but also spread to the homes of Wufeng and Huang Dakuo, and the angry Huang Dakuo did not go to work for three days. Lying at home sighing, regretting that he shouldn't have recruited these relatives. Who would have predicted their danger at the time?

On the third day when Huang Dakuo didn't go to work, the war finally broke out, the three fat men and Uncle Huang first cursed, then pushed, and then grabbed each other, and finally the two rolled on the ground, and the Zhou sisters went into battle together to fight Uncle Huang, Huang Dakuo's three aunts were also farmers and were very strong, and the cousin also joined the war group, and the mall was a mess of porridge. It's more lively than the weasel chicken that I played back then. In the end, Huang Dakuo had no choice but to consult Li Er, it was easy to ask God to send God, and Li Er had no choice. I had to tell sù Huang Dakuo, half to half. What do you mean by half to half? It is the guests who come to the mall, regardless of men, women and children, and the first to be received by the Zhou sisters in the north. People can't buy your goods, so go to the south and buy them, and you're not allowed to mess around. The second guest came in and went south to receive him. Assigned by the security guard at the door. At the entrance of the door, make two passages made of aluminum alloy. Security instructs guests which way to go. Although this method was not elegant, it also solved the crisis at that time. The mall has been out of service for more than a year. In the third year, there was civil strife in the two sides, first the three fat men said that her sister regarded herself as an old man, gave instructions and commanded blindly, only took care of her own business, cut the flesh of other sisters and pasted it on herself, and the two sisters fell out and ignored anyone. Later, the four sisters developed into two factions, three fat and four fat gangs, and big fat and two fat gangs. You yelled at me all day long. No stops. A guest from the third fat side was looking at a coat, and the second fat person shouted to the sky: "Cotton, black-hearted cotton, there are many bacteria." The guest who looked at the yellow coat didn't react at the time, and when he was about to pay the money, he suddenly woke up, quickly withdrew the hand that took the money, and hurried out of the mall. The three fat men immediately rushed over and scuffled with the second fat, rolling around on the ground, watching a lot of excitement, the two of them beat straight to the top of their heads, their bellies, and most of their chests were exposed, so that the men who worked in the labor market were full of eyes.

The north side is divided into two factions and fights, and the south side is also full of flames, Uncle Huang and Huang Dakuo's aunt are together, and his second aunt and his aunt are together. That cousin is a centrist, helping this family today, helping that family tomorrow, making good people on both sides, but both sides say that he is a bastard.

I don't know who said that the fortresses were breached from the inside. This is true, after this infighting, the garment city has been scarred and its vitality has been greatly damaged. The word broad goods, this is the name of the store that Li Er took Huang Dakuo's broad words and Wufeng's blind goods to make the name of the store, this trouble, wide, and goods are separated, each towards his personal relatives, Huang Dakuo towards his uncle, and Wufeng towards her sisters. With such a stir, the trade of the clothing city plummeted. Especially the counters on both sides, one side says that the other side is blind, and the other side says that the legs are lame. Expose each other's old bottoms and scars together. There are fewer and fewer customers. The less you grab, the more you grab, the more you fight, the more you fight, the more you fight, the more you don't buy or sell, and in the end, you end up with a lot of money. If there are no customers, you will not sell goods, and if you don't sell goods, you will not make money, and internal friction will kill the clothing city. couldn't make money, so the three fat men took the lead in not paying the contract fee. She didn't pay the contract fee, and Uncle Huang didn't pay it. The chain reaction is that five on each side do not pay rent, and the total is ten. There are ten sections of the counter that are not handed over, and Huang Dakuo is so anxious that he scratches his ears and cheeks, and there is no way to do it in a hurry. Fortunately, the wholesale business operated by himself was not affected much, and the garment city did not close down immediately. But the good times didn't last long, and in the spring of the fourth year, there were three major events, and as soon as these three major events came out, the garment city was directly pushed into the abyss, and Huang Dakuo also fell from a million-yuan household to a poor egg.

The misfortune still started from the three fat men. This is aggressive by nature, brutal and eccentric. If you see profit, you will go up, and if you see difficulties, you will let go, and he is a standard villain. She saw that the driver next to her, Wang Youxin's wife, had a good business and was not affected by the environment at all, why? Renjia is a retailer under the wholesale department of Garment City. There are only two families in the mall who have this privilege, one is that Wang has a new wife, and the other is the husband of the female accountant. These two families sell one kind of goods. It's all parallel goods imported from that mysterious garment factory. Their prices are basically the same as those in the wholesale department of the mall. Some small retail investors who have just entered the industry with little capital all take goods from these two companies. Therefore, the business of the two of them is very prosperous. The third fat man first proposed to Wufeng that he should be treated the same as Wang Youxin's wife, but Wufeng resolutely refused. Uncle Huang was the same, asking to sell parallel goods like the female accountant's husband, but Huang Dakuo also resolutely refused. Of course, the three fat men and Uncle Huang are not giving up, and the two of them are combined, there are policies and countermeasures. Let's mess up their business and make it impossible for them to do it over the counter. Grab the first section counter at the door, even if you don't sell parallel goods, this first section counter is also geographically superior, and there are many benefits. The two of them said they would do it. The three fat men had a fight with Wang Youxin's wife today, and tomorrow Uncle Huang quarreled with the female accountant's husband, and a few days later the two of them fought, of course, there were many people on Uncle Huang's side, and several brothers and sisters went up together, and beat up a female accountant and his husband. The female accountant called one or two cars that afternoon, loaded all her things into the car, carried the account book in her hand, walked out of the gate of the garment city, and said coldly: "Close the door." ”

When Uncle Huang heard her say this, he laughed on the spot, he hurriedly moved his things over and stood at the counter, and hummed Peking opera: "I stand on the city tower and watch the mountain view, ......." ”

As soon as the door opened the next day, the inspectors of the tax bureau walked in the door, went straight to the accounting room, and ordered Wufeng to open the iron cabinet and steal all the account books. Frightened, Wufeng trembled. Three more days. The tax bureau came down to notify Huang Dakuo to pay the tax. It turned out that Huang Dakuo's income from those rented counters in the past four years and his wholesale business were not reported to the tax bureau. Do not need invoices for wholesale purchases, the customers who come to the mall wholesale are regular customers who sell clothing in neighboring villages, and their wholesale clothing is sold to people who are in the market, and people who buy clothes in the market have to be invoiced? If you don't move the invoice, you don't pay the tax. This was all done by Huang Dakuo to the female accountant, the female accountant's husband rented a counter here, she couldn't say anything, as soon as there was a war, she left, and immediately went to the tax bureau to make a report and expose it. Huang Dakuo understood in his heart that when this woman came, she was introduced by someone from the tax bureau, she had a background, it was a landmine, Uncle Huang didn't know what to do, so he detonated the landmine, and his nephew Huang Dakuo was not light, paid 800,000 in taxes, fined 800,000, 1.6 million, and just waved away. Huang Dakuo, who was in pain, didn't eat for three days. This is the first piece. It doesn't matter, the second thing is a fatal blow to him. His driver, Wang Youxin, rented the first section of the counter, next to the three fat men. The third fat man saw that Uncle Huang was successful, so he learned from him, unscrupulously abused Wang Youxin's wife, and often raised his hand to slap her. After coming and going, Wang Youxin felt that he couldn't do it, so he and his wife packed up their things, and gave the first section of the counter in the north to the three fat men, so beautiful that the three fat men laughed three times, and finally got their wish in the past four years, and got the first section of the counter that day and night. What a big victory, the day after her, Wang Youxin resigned, and went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to report the case that afternoon, exposing the fake brand-name clothing factory that specialized in supplying Li Er. According to the clues, the industrial and commercial bureau found the fake factory in the depths of an abandoned factory. A large number of raw materials and garments that have already been made were seized, and counterfeit trademarks and labels of four large cardboard boxes were also seized in the small warehouse of the factory.

The fine from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau was quickly issued to the owner of the garment factory. The boss scolded Huang Dakuo on the phone: "You bastard, I told you to take care of your own people and take care of your own door." This is good, it doesn't matter if you're finished, I want Lao Tzu to hang yourself with you. ”

Huang Dakuo asked with a bitter face: "What about my one million deposit?" There was a snort on the other end of the phone: "Hmph, what about the deposit return, is there a way?" The Industrial and Commercial Bureau fined me 1 million, and I paid the fine early. In such an ending, I still found someone to intercede. It's already good not to go to your bottom line, but if you want to pursue it seriously, you won't be able to pay the fine, okay. This is where our accounts are stopped. I will be listed here in the future to become a regular enterprise, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau promised to help me register a trademark, if you want the goods, the peach wood to cash, Boss Huang "good luck." "The phone snapped and hung up.

Huang Dakuo took the earpiece and couldn't put it down for a long time, Wufeng hurriedly went over, took the earpiece and put it away, and sat him on the chair for a long time before he said: "One million, one million inches, just like that." ”

It doesn't matter if the deposit of one million is alone, what is even worse is that he has cut off his financial route, he himself started with fakes, and the four counters also earn a million a year, and he has been in business for three years, and the loan to build the mall has not been repaid, so this kind of thing happened. In less than three months, the garment city was not functioning. First of all, there was no money to buy, and the four counters could not be sold as fakes, so they had to be purchased by other garment factories, and the price "poof" grew up. In addition to the price factor, the quality is not as good as the previous fake. In this way, the goods at the four-section counter are more expensive than before, not to mention, and the quality is not as good as before. The customers who came to wholesale left one after another. went to buy goods from other houses, and he immediately became deserted here. The three fat men monopolized that section of the counter, but she didn't sell a single item for three days, why? There were no guests coming in at all, the people in the mall were sitting behind the counter, stretching their necks, looking straight at the door, half a sound came in a person, everyone quickly stood up, and suddenly found that it was Zhuang who came up to collect electricity bills, everyone drooped their heads together, and no one raised their heads in the middle of the sound. It's completely ruined.

The third thing is more brutal. Huang Dakuo lives upstairs. When I woke up in the morning, I heard a noise of people outside the mall. When he went out, he saw that a group of people were building a wall at his door, and most of them were half a person high, so he hurriedly came down to check. happened to meet the loan officer of the year, Lao Yu, the village cadre today, who is directing the unloading of bricks and sand. Huang Dakuo grabbed him and asked him what he was doing? The old man looked embarrassed: "Brother, your land turned out to be a primary school shared by the three brigades of our kidnapping village. Now that the money has been allocated to rebuild the school, you are afraid that the mall will be moved. ”

Huang Dakuo hurriedly said: "I signed a 50-year contract with Zhuang Shang, I invested so much money, I can't just pick it up, Zhuang Shang's contract has to count." ”

"Contract?" The village cadre made an eyelid: "The five-year contract has expired, I have a bad memory, the contract seems to have expired yesterday, you go home and see, the contract is not in quadruplicate, each holds two copies, and has the same legal effect." After speaking, he ignored Huang Dakuo, waved his hand, and told the person who worked to do it quickly, and after a meal, the door of the wide goods mall was blocked by the wall. The people who came to work were dumbfounded, so they could only slip through the wall and enter the mall sideways. Can this mall still be opened?

Huang Dakuo ran back to the Zhou family's old house like crazy, found out the two contracts back then, and quickly rushed into the abduction clinic, asking Liu Xueyin to see if it was five years or fifty years?

Liu Xueyin carefully read the contract twice, looked up and handed the contract to Huang Dakuo, and said to him: Five years, that's right, it is written very clearly, the five-year lease period, the lease column is written agriculture, which means that you rent this land for farming, and you can't develop and build a mall. To build a building on arable land, you must pick it up.

Huang Dakuo sat on the chair in the clinic, his eyes motionless. It's over, it's completely over, it's been calculated, it was said that it was fifty years, but the number written by people was five years, blaming myself for not being literate, blind and blind, and killing people without culture. He staggered to Li Er's house, lay on the low table and cried loudly, crying while telling Li Er about the cause and future of the contract.

Li Er pushed him hard: "Stop, there will be kung fu crying in the future." It is imperative to act quietly at night, and the inventory that has accumulated in the big warehouse in recent years will be quickly poured home. If you owe money to the bank, the bank will definitely preserve it before suing. The court came to open the door of the warehouse, you have nothing, you have really become a poor egg, although the goods in the warehouse are worthless, they can be sold for 70,000 or 80,000 yuan when they are clean. ”

Huang Dakuo thought for a while, yes, there is still stock in the warehouse. He quickly wiped away his tears. At noon, I invited a few close friends at the Abduction Hotel, asked them to go to the labor market, and quietly found dozens of people. In the evening, I had dinner at the Abduction Hotel. Taking advantage of the moonlight, all the inventory in the mall warehouse was moved into the Liu family's old house and stamped three rooms. It was all moved before dawn.

After breakfast, after little effort, the court's police car arrived as promised, first sealing the warehouse door behind the mall. Seals were placed in the offices upstairs. The courthouse stood at the door, watching over everyone who rented the counter, moving their goods outside the mall. Close the door and affix the seal. So far, the broad garment city has lasted five years, from prosperity to decline, and has officially come to an end.

Uncle Huang carried his things and walked out, and saw Huang Dakuo wiping tears at the door. didn't go over to comfort him, but turned back to Huang Dakuo's second aunt and said: "I have long seen this nephew's sharp-beaked monkey gills, it is not a blessed thing, today it really works, I have seen Miao since I was a child, and when his mother died, I guessed that he was not a regular thing." "Everyone's comments, those things that were done before, plus the words that are being said now, is this an uncle or an uncle?

The ancients said that ten years in Hedong and ten years in Hexi are talking about Huang Dakuo.

Huang Dakuo begged Li Er to come forward to find Lao Yu, the village cadre, but Li Er had no choice but to go. It turned out that Li Er's grandmother was a girl from the Yu family. Yu's family is his father's grandmother's house. Relatives are close. Li Eryi went. Lao Yu is very enthusiastic. Hurry up and get the wine and food and entertain Li Er. During the banquet, Lao Yu said: The contract can be renewed when it expires, and it is not impossible for the school to move the land, which is easy to do. It's not that the village doesn't want to help him. But Huang Dakuo can't live because of his own sin, when his mall was first built. It's all about watering the girders at night. The black-hearted construction team boss, when Huang Dakuo was there during the day, there was a lot of rebar. But in the evening, as soon as Huang Dakuo left, they took half of the rebar out of the zygote plate, loaded it into the car, and sold it for cash that night. The girders, which were supposed to be six rebars, were only three. During the day, Huang Dakuo went to check, and the girder had been watered at night, and the appearance was not visible at all. The people from the town's security inspection office inspected Huang Dakuo's mall on the spot, and there were cracks in three places, among which the ground in the southeast corner was subsided, and the girder was only pulled by three steel bars, which could collapse at any time. If the village doesn't pick it up for him, he has to pick it up himself. In case the mall collapses on its own, the people inside don't know. What should I do if I can't get out? Stoning people to death is no joke! I'm going to kill my head. Lao Yu said, and handed the demolition notice sent by the security inspection office to Li Secondhand.

After reading the notice, Li Er shook his head helplessly. After eating, he went home to reply to Huang Dakuo, who was waiting for a letter at his house. Huang Dakuo didn't believe it, and ran to the southeast corner of the mall to see, this look, even he himself was startled, a crack in the sky, cracked four fingers wide. The three steel bars inside can be seen clearly. It's all rusty. He jumped up to find the boss of the construction team desperately, but was stopped by Wufeng. The two looked at each other for a moment, hugged their heads and cried, ten years of hard work, can they not panic in pain? One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, which is sad and sad.
