Chapter 221: Boiled Duck
The South Gate Restaurant is the blessed land of the Li family.
The Li family's first business of the year was negotiated here.
It was precisely because of a large order made by the Northern Expeditionary Army that the Li family successfully entered the underground arms market and gradually grew into an arms predator known in Guangdong, Fujian, Hunan and Jiangxi.
In this turbulent era, in the land of southern Jiangxi, western Fujian, and northern Guangdong, you sang and I appeared, and the warring opponents changed one after another, and the long-sleeved Li family, who was good at dancing, was like a reef in the dark night, in the midst of the wind and waves, and always stood tall.
The old man has long since taken a back seat, and Xiao Li has taken over the family business for two full years. He was bold, took advantage of a few big battles, did a few big votes, and earned a lot of silver dollars.
However, due to well-known reasons, since the second half of last year, the entire arms market in southern Gan has entered a state of unsalable goods in an all-round way.
But Xiao Li insisted that in troubled times, hard currencies like arms, which are equivalent to gold, will never become obsolete.
Therefore, he has always been bold, not only did he not sell at a low price, but as usual, he took advantage of the situation to buy on a large scale and hoarded a large amount of arms at extremely low prices. Several large warehouses in the south of the city were almost all occupied by him, and they were full of guns and ammunition.
However, doing business, doing business, relying on the purchase and shipment, goods are like rotation.
There has been no business for more than half a year, and there are a large number of brothers under him, and people eat horses every day, which is like running water. Xiao Li was silent on the surface, but secretly he was already anxious.
Fortunately, things finally turned around yesterday.
Yesterday's business was not large, with thousands of bullets and four or five boxes of grenades. Xiao Li sniffed out a hint of unusual meaning from it.
Because, bullets and grenades have one thing in common - they are both battlefield consumables. Well, if you shoot one bullet, you will lose one shot, and if you throw a grenade, you will lose one. The opponent does not lack guns, only bullets and grenades. There are three calibers of bullets, and the corresponding firearms are made in Hanyang, Czech, box guns and flower machines.
Plus yesterday's customer, and it's full of vigor again...... This kind of situation makes Xiao Li feel that the former big customer is coming back again.
Thousands of bullets, four or five boxes of grenades, just throwing stones to ask for directions.
Therefore, Xiao Li is in a very good mood today.
In a happy mood, Xiao Li led people to sort out the hoarded arms, reclassify them, and register them. The method of categorization has changed from the past classification of dozens of varieties according to size and length to two major categories of battlefield guns and ammunition and civilian guns and ammunition. After this busy work, it was dinner time in a blink of an eye. He took a few personal brothers and came to the South Gate Restaurant as usual.
Upstairs there is a private room.
As soon as he went upstairs, Xiao Li swept it away and saw the young man sitting by the window.
The appearance is very thoughtful, the temperament is very elegant, and the behavior is very shrewd.
After only seeing each other briefly, Xiao Li was still very impressed.
At such a time and in such a place, the other party is sitting in such a conspicuous position, and the intention is self-evident - he is waiting for himself!
Yesterday, I just paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other, and today I came to the door again...... Thousands of bullets, four or five boxes of grenades, sure enough, it's just throwing stones to ask for directions!
Xiao Li walked straight over and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Boss Xie!" ”
"It's not a coincidence, Boss Li. I'm waiting for you here, and I've been waiting for you for half a day. You may be seated, Boss Li. Xie Yuzhen got up to greet him, and Lu Qing leaned over and pulled out the bench and made a "please" gesture.
"Oh? That's embarrassing. It's a busy day, so I'm late. I thought it was ...... Boss Xie has already purchased the goods and left Ganzhou. ”
Xiao Li glanced at the brother who followed beside him, and several people quickly dispersed, occupying several tables and staircase entrances nearby. Xiao Li bowed his head to Lu Qing, who came forward to greet him, to show his gratitude, and then came to the table and sat down, looking at Xie Yucheng with a smile:
"Boss Xie is looking for me, there must be a noble job. I don't know what a good thing it is. ”
In the underground trading market, he pursued a preemptive strike, and the other party did not take the initiative to speak, and he must not sell melons to his mother-in-law. Only in this way can the advantage of a seller's market be maintained.
"Boss Li, the situation is urgent, so I'll just say it...... Boss Li, I want to ask you to help find someone! ”
"Looking for someone? Who? Boss Xie, you might as well talk about it first! ”
"Find a little girl. It's our peers who come here. It happened this morning, at the intersection inside the Xijin Gate, she was separated from us, and we have not been heard from so far, and we guess that eighty percent should have been photographed by someone......"
Xie Yucheng couldn't take care of it anymore, he looked around, and found that the few guests upstairs were all separated by the arms dealer in front of him at this time, so he picked up a sketch portrait that had been placed on the table and handed it to the little fat man opposite. At the same time, he took out a small yellow croaker wrapped in red paper from his other pocket, put it on the table, and pushed it over.
Xiao Li didn't stretch out his hand, nor did he look at the gold bar, he just quietly looked at the young face opposite, and felt infinite emotion in his heart.
Undoubtedly, the guy in front of him, who looks like a foreign student, is also the best type of person in this era, just like those people.
These people often come from wealthy families, not only do they have no worries about food and clothing, but many also have bright futures...... There are also many people who have been hung by the government on the towers of various cities.
Although, as the saying goes, 'when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds', Xiao Li still couldn't understand why so many outstanding young people actually took risks and did this kind of headless thing one after another?
Seek happiness for the people of the world!
How noble, and how stupid.
It is precisely because of the existence of such people that Xiao Li knows that in this world, money is not the only one, let alone omnipotent, and it is far from enough to have money. Therefore, although he doesn't understand it, let alone can't do it, it doesn't prevent him from admiring such a person in his heart.
Of course, admiration is admiration, business is business, favor is favor, and making money is making money.
The relationship between these is not to be confused.
The reason why he didn't look at the gold bars pushed in front of him was because of his usual style - to maintain a seller's market! The other party has sent the money to the door, which already means that the matter has been decided.
Will a boiled duck still run away? Not really.
The sketch on the white paper is a little girl with pigtails, big black eyes, and a naughty look.
The young man opposite had a small pile of white paper in front of him, and between the flipping of the paper, it could be seen that a similar portrait was drawn on almost every white piece of paper.
Draw shadow graphics!
Xiao Li smiled slowly and said, "Boss Xie, first of all, let me declare that the Xijin Gate is not my territory. However, I can help you inquire through some connections. Boss Xie, you can tell me about the situation at that time in detail. ”
…… Half an hour later, Xiao Li hurriedly summoned dozens of brothers, and after a brief introduction to the situation, they were divided into more than a dozen groups, each group of people sent a "picture drawing", and then quickly sent to the Xicheng area to investigate.
"I admire people like Boss Xie very much. I really don't dare to boast about other things. But in this Ganzhou city, you can still find someone. As long as the people are in the city, before dawn, I will deliver them into your hands. ”
Xie Yucheng and Lu Qing were overjoyed.
Boss Li on the other side was not shocked, looked at him calmly, and spit out a sentence in a calm tone: "However, this kind of thing does not use the official pretense, it is"
