Chapter 351: Compete with Gu Gang

Lai Xiaohu didn't expect Gu Gang to have this history, and it seemed to be a relatively failed experience. Of course, Lai Xiaohu still has to admire Gu Gang's courage at that time, the Gu family has not been out of Shensen County for decades before, and he dared to take people to the provincial capital as soon as he took over the Gu family, this courage is indeed worthy of recognition.

"Those who have achieved great things throughout the ages are not courageous." Lai Xiaohu commented on Gu Gang.

"yes." Father Tang echoed when he heard this: "Although Gu Gang is still a lot worse than those heroes who are famous in history, it is undeniable that he still has some ability. ”

Lai Xiaohu praised Gu Gang's courage very much, but he didn't approve of the methods he used at that time. Historically, it is inevitable that being an outsider will be opposed by local vested interests. Originally, before Gu just entered the provincial capital, those people in the former provincial capital had already taken the interests of the entire provincial capital into their own hands. It can be said that the first business that Gu Gang grabbed after entering the provincial capital belonged to the tiger's mouth. It is impossible to steal someone's business without being opposed by the other party. However, in the face of the boycott of those with vested interests, Gu Gang's methods were too extreme. It is very scary to do the act of black hands at every turn, and those with vested interests who are not worried about the safety of themselves and their families in the face of this kind of behavior, so in the face of Gu Gang, an unruly outsider, it is inevitable to slowly move towards unity. It can be said that Gu Gang drove himself out completely by himself.

If Lai Xiaohu is in Gu Gang's position, the first thing he does is probably to find a backer with enough strength, even if he pays a large profit, and then honestly and low-key development, if he wants to expand his market share, he can wait for himself to gain a firm foothold in this market two or three years later.

"People like Gu Gang are definitely unwilling to be driven out, I don't know how he returned to the provincial capital after that?" Lai Xiaohu asked Father Tang curiously. The current Gu Gang is undoubtedly the most powerful businessman in the entire Kansai Province. Not only Shensen Prefecture, but also the provincial capital and other cities in Kansai Province have most of Gugang's territory. So although he was driven out of the provincial capital before, Gu Gang must have found some way to make a comeback again.

"Gu Gang was kicked out at that time, and he did come back two years later, to say that the methods he used at that time were indeed not brilliant, but it was better to use it, because he used money to smash a way out." After Father Tang told Gu Gang about the way Gu Gang made a comeback, Lai Xiaohu had to sigh that Gu Gang's luck was really good.

Under normal circumstances, after Gu Gang was kicked out of the provincial capital for the first time, it was much more difficult to come in again the second time than the first time. But Gu Gang did come in two years later, and not only quickly gained a foothold in the provincial capital. even grew rapidly and suppressed all the people who excluded him at the beginning, and Gu Gang did all this and got the money that Tang's father said.

Gu Gang's real rise is exactly the same as the current rise of Shensen County, and the two are almost synchronous. Shensen County used to be relatively poor, but now it is no less rich than the provincial capital, relying on something. It is a high-quality coal mine buried under Kamimori County.

After Gu Gang was driven out of the provincial capital, it was just in time for the coal resources in Shensen County to be developed and utilized. At that time, China's economy was getting better and better with the reform and opening up. And the demand for resources across the country is also increasing. Against this backdrop, the economy of Shensen Prefecture has taken off rapidly thanks to the high-quality coal mines underground. Although the Gu family was nothing in Kansai Province at that time, it was really not to be underestimated in Shensen Prefecture.

There are so many coal mines in his hometown, is it possible that the Gu family will not interfere? After being driven out of the provincial capital, Gu Gang happened to encounter this wave of coal mine economic development. So he temporarily extinguished his desire to go to the provincial capital, began to meddle in the development of coal mines in his hometown, and steadily developed in Shensen County for another two years.

At that time, there was a shortage of coal in the country, and most of the people who did this were violent. And Gu Gang earned tens of millions in just two years, which was not only a huge amount of money at that time, but also much more than the money that the Gu family had earned in the previous decades.

With these tens of millions, Gu Gang continued to develop his own coal mine on the one hand, and on the other hand, the idea of entering the provincial capital came to him. And with the lesson of the last failure, he didn't go back blindly, the last time he was able to come out safely, this time he may not be so lucky.

After summing up, Gu Gang thought that the number of people available to his subordinates was far less than that of the people in the provincial capital, and it was completely unfeasible to rely on his subordinates to make a way like the last time. Compared with them, Gu Gang's advantage is that he made a fortune from the windfall profits of coal. The tens of millions of extra tens of millions almost out of thin air can make Gu Gang more calm.

"Gu Gang made a move at that time, and it was that move that led to his current achievements." Father Tang thought about it, and didn't want to talk about this paragraph, but considering that there were no outsiders and they were in his own home, he had no worries, but he still took the lead in warning: "Some of the rumors I said later are relatively secret, don't say it outside after you hear it." ”

"Yes. Rest assured. Tang Gaoqiang and Lai Xiaohu hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"It is rumored that Gu Gang used money to bribe the director of the Public Security Bureau of Xijing City at that time, and relying on the power in the hands of that person, the two of them partnered to arrest many people, most of whom were the people who excluded Gu Gang at the beginning. Relying on this kind of combination of officials and businessmen, Gu Gang quickly gained a firm foothold in the provincial capital and forcibly took over a lot of projects, and then he became bigger and bigger, and now not only has one person almost monopolized more than half of the real estate market in Xijing City, but even most of the largest real estate companies in other cities are Gu Gang's. ”

"Coal has skyrocketed the economy of Shensen County, but it has also made people like Gu Gang skyrocket. With the money he earned from coal, Gu Gang not only opened up various relationships, but also invested that money in the real estate market. And the real estate market is also a huge profit, and the money you make does not have to be less than that of coal. Up to now, Gu Gang's worth accumulated by relying on coal and real estate has reached more than 10 billion, and the industries under his name also involve dozens of industries. The current Gu Gang can be described as a veritable giant crocodile. When Father Tang said this, he also showed a little admiration for Gu Gang.

Seeing Father Tang like this, Lai Xiaohu smiled but had no responsibility. If it weren't for the fact that he had a grudge against Gu Jianfeng, maybe Lai Xiaohu would have a feeling of admiration for this person when he heard about Gu Gang's family history. This worship does not take into account the issues of right and wrong. It is simply an appreciation for Gu Gang's achievements today. After all, he was not the only one who had the same conditions as Gu Gang at the beginning, but he was the only one who had such great success in the end. Especially for people in Kansai Province, Gu Gang is even more of a person who seems to them to be far away.

After listening to Father Tang's words, Lai Xiaohu also knew more about Gu Gang, but now what he was most concerned about was who was the director of the Xijing City Public Security Bureau who helped Gu Gang in Tang's father's mouth before?

In this case, it was inconvenient for Lai Xiaohu to ask directly, so he turned his gaze to Tang Gaoqiang on the side, seeing Lai Xiaohu's gaze, Tang Gaoqiang quickly nodded in understanding, and then took the opportunity to ask Tang's father, "Dad." So who was the director of the Public Security Bureau? ”

After Tang Gaoqiang finished speaking, Father Tang was stunned and said a little embarrassed: "I have already told you everything I can tell you, and the rest is not what you can know now." ”

Father Tang's words were so embarrassed, but Lai Xiaohu immediately thought that the identity of the head of the Public Security Bureau who helped Gu Gang at the beginning was not simple, and it was not easy to figure out that the other party was still in power. And the position should not be low, otherwise Father Tang would not be so taboo about this person's identity.

"Dad. Just tell me about it. Anyway, I've said so much, and even if you don't say that we can check it on the Internet tomorrow, it's the Internet era now, and there's nothing you can't find. Xijing City is the provincial capital, and anyone who has been the director of the Public Security Bureau here before must have found it on the Internet. When the time comes, we will be able to find out who it is one by one. After Tang Gaoqiang finished speaking, he looked like we could know if you didn't say it.

"yes. It's the Internet age now, and there's nothing you can't find out. I didn't think of that when I told you about it. Thinking of this, Father Tang didn't plan to hide it, so he wanted to tell the identity of that person. But when he was about to speak, when he saw the expressions of Lai Xiaohu and Tang Gaoqiang, Father Tang was stunned, and then thought of what happened just now, and immediately blurted out: "How do I feel that you two are asking me these things tonight for a purpose?" ”

A few people didn't expect Father Tang to see it at this time, and they admired Father Tang's ability to observe words and feelings, but also suddenly, and Tang Gaoqiang reacted in time, and hurriedly said with a smile: "How can there be, Dad, I said that you don't always act like a defense agent, okay?" ”

"No, it's still not." Father Tang shook his head and continued: "If I had spoken like that before, you would definitely have called your mother to keep complaining about me, and it would definitely not be like today." ”

"Ah," Tang Gaoqiang didn't expect that Father Tang still didn't believe it, and he couldn't help it at this time, his old man knew that his character was very stubborn, as long as he doubted it, he would definitely doubt it to the end. Now that he has doubts, no scruples can dispel his doubts.

Thinking of this, Tang Gaoqiang suddenly turned around and said to Murong Jing, who was sitting next to him, "Wife, aren't you looking for something with your mother, you two go to the back room and say go." ”

"Me?" Murong Jing originally wanted to say that he was fine, but when he saw Tang Gaoqiang blinking like himself, he reacted instantly, and after saying "oh", he stood up, and then walked to Tang's mother and called Tang's mother and the two of them went to the back room together.

After Murong Jing and Tang's mother left, Tang's father looked at the two of them with a displeased expression and said, "Say, what do you two want to do with these things?" ”

Tang Gaoqiang wanted to open his mouth, but Lai Xiaohu took the lead and said: "It's such an uncle, in fact, these questions are what I want to ask, because I have a grudge against that Gu Gang." ”

"And then? What do you know about that? "Father Tang is still like that.

"Of course, it's easy to do. I am dissatisfied that Gu Gang is now dealing with his son's affairs in Jincheng, and his son Gu Jianfeng was actually arrested by me and a Jincheng policeman named Li Jing. It can be said that with the previous grievances, that Gu Gang will definitely not let me go, and I don't plan to sit still, so I came here, wanting to find out Gu Gang's relationship and uproot him in one fell swoop. ”

"Haha, uprooted?" Father Tang listened, smiled and said, "You and my son are classmates who have a good relationship. Normally, I don't want to talk about you. But now I have to say a few words about you. You've been here for a few days, and you've probably asked a lot about Gu Gang. You won't know what kind of power he has in Kansai Province, if Gu Gang is a towering tree, then you are at best a small grass under that big tree. Although you already have your own company and are very profitable, you have become a billionaire at a young age, and you don't have to be poor when you were young. But after all, the competition between the two people is not about whose ability is stronger, nor whose future achievements are greater, but between the two of you at the moment, whose fist is bigger. You are Xiaoqiang's classmate and you are not an outsider, so I advise you, it is better to leave Kansai Province as soon as possible. If you don't forget to take revenge, then wait for ten or twenty years, then you will be the current Gu Gang, and he will already be old. ”

Father Tang finished speaking. Tang Gaoqiang also became a little unhappy on the side, as if complaining that his father shouldn't say this about his classmates. However, Lai Xiaohu did not look angry. On the contrary, he had a faint smile on his face, as if he was not affected by what he had just said at all. Seeing Lai Xiaohu's appearance, even Father Tang couldn't figure out Lai Xiaohu's reaction.

"Uncle," Lai Xiaohu sat up straight and said with a relaxed face, "I don't deny that some of what you just said is correct. That Gu Gang was indeed a towering tree. But I, Lai Xiaohu, am not a grass under the big tree. Now that you've said that, I'm not going to hide my hole cards anymore. I think I, Lai Xiaohu, am at least a towering tree. Even a towering tree bigger than Gu Gang. Because I don't have to be less than the financial resources. He is now worth more than 10 billion, but I don't have to be worse than him. I didn't make it clear to you just now, but my dozen stores have a profit of more than 3 billion a year. You may think I'm talking big when you hear this, and I'm not going to explain anything. Because these are all facts, when you go to the capital, you can go and see, I have six branches there. And in addition to the supermarket, I also have a mineral water company in Jincheng. In the United States, there is a bank all over the United States with its own five-star hotel. Do you think these things will be worth less than two hundred billion when they add up? ”

After Lai Xiaohu finished speaking, even Tang Gaoqiang, who already knew a little bit of the details, looked surprised, not to mention Tang's father, who almost didn't know Lai Xiaohu's situation before. Although Father Tang was indeed a little suspicious and didn't dare to confirm whether what Lai Xiaohu said was true, if these were true, then Lai Xiaohu's real financial resources would be too shocking. According to what Lai Xiaohu himself said, Father Tang could see that Lai Xiaohu's financial resources were stronger than Gu Gang. In addition to the financial odds, Lai Xiaohu can influence more than Gu Gang. Now Gu Gang is very powerful in Kansai Province, but once he leaves Kansai Province, his influence will be greatly reduced, but in addition to Lai Xiaohu's huge influence in Jincheng, he also has his own national bank and five-star hotel in the United States. It's not easy to do that. If these are true, then Lai Xiaohu is a hundred times better than Gu Gang. At least when Gu Gang was as old as Lai Xiaohu, he didn't even have one percent of his current achievements.

"That Gu Gang is also very powerful in other aspects in addition to his financial resources, such as the fact that he started as a black man and has his own power in many places in Kansai Province." Speaking of this, Lai Xiaohu paused and said: "And although I, Lai Xiaohu, hate the underworld, I don't have any strength in this regard. Now Hu Haikun and Gao Hong, the bosses of the two major gangs in Jincheng, have a good relationship with me, and the last time Gu Gang went to Jincheng, he was beaten up, and I asked Gao Hong to do it. And in addition to Jincheng, even the gangs in Shanghai and Beijing can be influenced. I hate the underworld, but if I really want to compare these methods, I am not afraid of that Gu Gang at all. ”

"In the end, it's that Gu Gang's network all over Kansai Province. Gu Gang and I must be the only thing worse than him is that I don't have such an extensive network of relationships with him, because I haven't been in the society for a few years, and of course I can't know too many people. But even so, I'm not afraid of him in this regard. Because when it comes to relationships, I want to focus on quality over quantity. I still don't know who Gu Gang's backers are in Kansai Province, but the biggest ones are none other than those two in Kansai Province. ”

Lai Xiaohu didn't say who those two were, but Father Tang nodded as if he knew, he knew that what Lai Xiaohu was talking about was actually the high book* and the governor.

"Even if Gu Gang's backstage is these two people, then I don't have to worry at all, because the person I know can completely suppress these two people."

"Is it from above?" Hearing this, even Father Tang had to be moved, if he was able to suppress the two bosses in Guanxi Province, it could only be the group of people above. In the previous competition, Lai Xiaohu was no worse than Gu Gang, and if on the network, Lai Xiaohu knew a person with such a high position, and the other party was willing to help him, then Lai Xiaohu did not have a chance of winning, no, it should be a great chance of winning.
