Chapter 90: Western Witchcraft
Wu Defu looked at Li Guolou intently and said: "Little Lizi, what good way do you have to make money, let's listen to it, the second brother knows that your head is active, we are not the ones who cross the river and tear down the bridge, you don't have a small benefit." ”
Yao Cuo nodded and said, "Xiao Lizi, since you came to my brigade, you see how much I have changed, isn't it enough to be a friend?" ”
Lu Haikong said: "Good third brother, my good third brother, I and the fourth brother will obey you and will always follow you." ”
Wang Wu didn't speak, he directly poured tea and handed over water, and worked for the brothers. Ai Hai couldn't insert it, so he could only stretch his neck and listen carefully.
Li Guolou put on a full shelf before he spoke: "Brothers, don't talk about the royal family, who do you think is the richest in Jingshi?" ”
Wang Wudao: "Does the prince count?" ”
Li Guolou shook his head and said, "They are also royals, so they don't count." ”
Wu Defu stretched out his hand and pointed upwards and said, "Commander above, count the money with your eyes closed." ”
Li Guolou said: "How many years can you earn?" The term of office is at most seven years, and the fat and thin seats are rotated, and they are not opened by their own families, and they have to return to their hometowns. ”
Yao mistakenly said: "The big businessmen of the Purple Clothes Society, their strength is incompetent, and Zuo Zongtang relied on them to rise up. ”
Li Guolou nodded and said, "Yes!" The gang of people in the Purple Clothes Society, the underworld and the white way have to give them face, they are the backbone of the country, they have money, and they are united. Whoever the money falls on, and whoever can't rise again, it's Adou. What do we have money for? Could it be that if we also join the Purple Clothes Society, will people look up to us? The foundation and status are not good enough, even if we join in, we have no right to speak. ”
Wu Defu seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and said: "Little Lizi, you can be clear, what do you want to do?" ”
Li Guolou said: "I mean, in the future, we will bring rich people over, so powerful that they are even more powerful than the Purple Clothes Society, the eldest brother and the second brother are no longer all the way, but a big businessman and a good man in Beijing, this is the goal we are pursuing, no matter who comes to power, we can't move us, because we take it from the people and use it for the people." Got it? ”
Yao didn't understand, and said, "Soup porridge? ”
Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said, "Big brother, this is too low-level, do you still want me to teach?" ”
Wu Defu said: "Do you want us to do the right thing and make a package." ”
Li Guolou nodded and said: "Yes, the second brother is right, we also have a proper business, and let this serious business make the rich people beg us, and they are willing to listen to our mercy, and even in the future, foreigners will ask us and have a good relationship with us." ”
Yao mistakenly said: "We still buy guns and guns now, who will want it?" ”
Li Guolou shook his head and said: "Big brother, the arms business is difficult to make a fortune in the country, if it is about to be peaceful today, what else do we do in the arms business." The arms business also belongs to the wrong door, and there is no one above who will be the big one. ”
Wu Defu looked at Li Guolou's face uncertain, and couldn't think of any business that made more money than opening a hall? Those businesses of digging ginseng and opening gold mines are all done by the prince, and they can't be inserted.
Wu Defu was helpless, surrendered and admitted, and sighed: "Little Lizi, it's better for you to say it, I can't think of it." ”
Li Guolou looked around at the people around him and said: "Now the ticket number of our Qing Empire is monopolized by Shanxi people, the north is the ticket number of Shanxi people, and the south is the foreigner's trading house, this industry has a history of hundreds of years in the West, only when we step into this industry, we can be regarded as real rich people." ”
Wu Defu said: "Xiao Lizi, I think this industry is also an underworld, and there is no place for white." He was secretly annoyed, how could the ticket number be considered a white business, it was obviously an underworld business, Li Guolou asked him to guess that he would never be able to guess that he would be in the ticket number business for the rest of his life.
At this time, the ticket number is an underworld business, and the things that are done are not visible, and the escort money is handed over to the gangsters to do. The door rules are even more scary, the hierarchy is strict, the guys and shopkeepers have no freedom in life, it can be said that they do not eat the fireworks of the world, and outsiders feel that it is a mysterious sect. Some ticket numbers are in the business of local big businessmen, and ordinary people do not deal with ticket numbers.
Looking at everyone's uncut eyes, Li Guolou sighed: "I told you, I don't want to contribute money and efforts, and I can't insert it if I want to, because this is a joint-stock system, and other shareholders don't agree, and I won't accept the money if you send it to my door." ”
Wu Defu's eyes widened and said, "Xiao Lizi, you think clearly, how much the capital of the ticket number costs, at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver." People's credibility is bought by generations of talents, is it possible for you to insert it? I think you're dreaming. ”
Li Guolou said: "It's only a few hundred thousand taels of silver, didn't I get 50,000 taels of silver from the white wolf with empty gloves?" As long as we clean up the Jingshi next year, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, someone will send it up, and I have thought of the name, I want the blessing ticket number, the eldest brother and the second brother have their names, how about it? ”
Wu Defu shook his head and said: "Don't name it, it's so cheesy, when you hear it, it's opened by a countryman, so you have to keep up with the times." ”
Yao mistakenly said: "My name is wrong, I don't match anything, don't shoot Xiao Lizi's sycophant, the name must be magnificent, in order to stand on a broader stage." ”
Li Guolou was a little embarrassed, and wanted to shoot the two eldest brothers' ass, but he didn't shoot it, and he slapped it on the horse's feet.
Wu Defu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Ambition, I suddenly thought of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and sold all of our ancestors for eighteen generations, and I can't make up this number, Xiao Lizi is ruthless, bet to win the first game, let's bet on the second game, I am ready to do it." But in my opinion, Xiao Lizi, if you gamble with you, one day you will fight back to its original shape. His ambition was encouraged by Li Guolou to become bigger and bigger, and he became more and more confident in himself, which has swelled to the point of being unattainable, and he is full of expectations for becoming a big businessman and a great benevolent person in the future.
Yao Cuo rolled up the other sleeve and said: "Do it once and do it twice, and do it twice as well, and you can do it when you get together hundreds of thousands of taels." The business of ticket numbers is passed down from generation to generation, and if this transaction is done well, we can openly tell our children and grandchildren what we did back then. "has already got the benefits, and is even more unwilling to give up the opportunity to make a fortune, Yao Cuo was originally a gambler, how could he easily jump off the thief ship.
Wang Wu sighed: "Xiao Lizi, if I continue to work with you, I won't even have a place to live in a house." He advanced and retreated with Li Guolou, shared honor and disgrace, absolutely believed in Li Guolou's proposition, and said that he was bankrupt.
Xing Yunfeng laughed dryly, and did not echo the words of the two eldest brothers, he still likes to collect protection money, and he is familiar with it. If there is no spectrum, he doesn't want to get involved.
Lu Haikong said: "Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, I don't think we can do it." "If you don't look at things well, will you help? The meaning has been told to those who are around.
Ai Hai was weak, secretly clenched his fists, he could only fight for the future, he believed that Li Guolou would still help him. Although Li Guolou got out of the carriage and didn't say a word to him, Li Guolou lived in his house and let him squeeze into the ranks of the eldest brother, and in the future, his people will not be less than that of Lu Haikong.
Some people are ready to do it, some people want to retreat, and everyone understands the truth that they will accept it when they see it. Li Guolou didn't say much, this matter is a business that he can't handle now, but he believes that it won't be long before he will definitely do a good job in the ticket number business. Only by controlling other people's money in your own hands can you have a sense of achievement, Li Guolou's vision is higher, and the world will be broader.
Yao Cuo couldn't help it, took out the gold watch to look at the time, and when he saw this action, Li Guolou couldn't help but pout, nouveau riche is like this.
Wu Defu said angrily: "Little Lizi, why don't you have my share of the gold watch when you give it to your eldest brother?" ”
"Shhh Yao Cuo hurriedly made a gesture and said: "It was my own money that deceived my wife, how can you even believe this kind of lie, you are still a master." ”
Wu Defu's mood immediately calmed down and said, "It's about the same, Xiao Lizi, you can't favor one over the other, we are running errands in one room." How was the errand given to you today, and was it done? ”
Li Guolou said with a smile: "The case will be closed tomorrow, but the thief will come to the yamen by himself, and he will also send two hundred taels of filial piety." Lao was annoyed that Master Wu would put him in prison and lock up the thief for a month, so that he would suffer a little. ”
Wu Defu's brain immediately understood, snickered in his stomach, and said: "Xiao Lizi, you are the most talented catcher I have ever seen, it would be a pity if you didn't do it." ”
Li Guolou said: "I like to stay at the scene of the crime, I have a sense of accomplishment in solving the case, and I will not quit my job." ”
Yao Cuo nodded and said, "Well, that's good, save us from worrying that one day you will take our money and flee to the UK." And one more thing I'm most worried about, what did your say to my wife? ”
Li Guolou said suspiciously: "Big brother, what can I say to my sister-in-law?" Don't talk nonsense. ”
Yao Cuo said angrily: "You don't know yet! Bible Bible, my wife has taken a Bible back from the church, and she reads it every day, and she is already going to ask Double Happiness to study at the Catholic Mary's School. Look at what you're doing, I'm going to have two Catholics in my house. ”
Li Guolou hurriedly defended and said: "Big brother, it was my sister-in-law who chatted with Sister-in-law Qian when she was drinking in Manhan Mansion that day, and this is also to blame on me, I am not too wronged, and I don't believe in religion." ”
Wu Defu glanced at it and said: "This official verdict, Xiao Lizi is not wronged at all, Xiao Lizi will be the hypnotism of foreign devils, and the people of the Qing Empire will be harmed." Tell me how many habits have changed since meeting Xiao Lizi? ”
The people present nodded frequently when they thought about it, and they all said that many habits had changed, and they were really controlled by Xiao Lizi's hypnosis.
Wu Defu was complacent and said: "I'm right, this is called witchcraft, and in the West it is to be burned to death." So Xiao Lizi can solve the case here, relying on the witchcraft of foreign devils. ”
Li Guolou had no way to argue, he really bewitched many people with different personalities and did things that others had never done. He had also read books on Western witchcraft, but he didn't understand them, and he couldn't memorize the spells. Could it be that his talent is the sorcery of foreign devils? Li Guolou doubted himself for the first time.
