Chapter 11 Alternative Life (7) A City Tycoon (II)
In the eighties of the last century, in City A, cars and large trucks were not yet popular, and train transportation was the main force. Liu Sheng, with the connections accumulated on the railway for many years, took the money left to him by "Hao Stick", and he also went to the sea to do business and opened a packaging and transportation company.
The name of the company is called "Jihong", as the name suggests, it means auspicious Hongda. The main thing the company does is to ship the train wagons, help customers pack the goods, and then ship them to various destinations by train.
At that time, wagons were a sought-after commodity, not everyone could get them, and some goods were usually left in the freight yard for months due to the lack of wagons. Liu Sheng is different, he turned out to be a person on the railway, and before going to the sea, he specially invited the leaders to dinner, and promised to transfer some wagons to him, so he dared to open this company.
In addition to having a good relationship with the leaders, Liu Sheng also invited the squad leaders below to dinner from time to time, don't underestimate these little leaders, their energy is very great, if they don't nod after approval, nothing can be done.
In order to have a good relationship with them, Liu Sheng also dispatched his own mother, this half-old is on the wine table, and she can be called a "heroine among women", all men, regardless of age, will drink until they lie on the table after her persuasion, this is the so-called "public relations" back then.
At first, Liu Sheng's company did not attract the attention of large companies due to its small scale, and he could still make some money, but after continuous expansion, he got an order from City A Refractory Factory, a large enterprise with a daily shipment volume of tens of thousands of yuan, which pushed Liu Sheng's company to the forefront and became the "target of public criticism". While Liu Sheng was making money, he also felt that countless pairs of eyes were looking at him, and some of them wanted to eat him.
As the saying goes: rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water. Guo Kaixin's old rival Lao Hei has also started the business of packaging and transportation teams recently. Since his father is a section chief, he is still in power. Naturally, he has a lot of work. But Lao Hei deserves to be called Lao Hei, and the price he asks for is ridiculously high, and he is looking for those who are eager to deliver the goods to increase the price, which makes everyone angry and resentful, and spoils the market.
The rise of Jihong Company made Lao Hei very unhappy. He always suspected that Liu Sheng's money for opening the company was not a good way, but when he heard that it was given by his uncle "Hao Gang'er", he also felt that Liu Sheng was a "thorn", not easy to pull, and his uncle was too famous. As long as the old man in City A heard his name, he would subconsciously take two steps back.
The refractory bricks of City A Refractory Factory were very famous in China at that time, and with a large number of infrastructure construction, it became the favorite of almost all large enterprises. It turned out that this delivery business was Lao Hei, but since Lao Hei increased the price, he didn't know how to do it, so he asked Liu Sheng to get it. Lao Hei found Liu Sheng several times and asked Liu Sheng to return the business to him. But Liu Sheng was pushed back for various reasons. Most of them are excuses for the company to just start and let me go for two days.
Finally, Lao Hei couldn't help it, and let people snatch the fat in his bowl for no reason. This made no one stand it, let alone Lao Hei, who dominated the "old road", he decided to teach Liu Sheng a lesson, so that this stinky boy who couldn't get along with himself in the past has a long memory. He found a few squad leaders who were in charge of the shipment, asked for the delivery time of Liu Sheng's freight yard, gathered some thugs and started to work.
Liu Sheng's company opened not long ago. He doesn't believe in his subordinates, and he doesn't want to hurt customers because of carelessness, so he spends most of his time in the delivery yard, and as soon as the ticket comes, he will organize people to deliver the goods as soon as possible.
Liu Sheng also has a few good brothers under his hands, but half of the trustworthy people are arranged to "watch the stalls" in the company, and there are not many people who come to the freight yard. When he saw Lao Hei and these people coming, Liu Sheng's heart also jumped into a ball, I hope Lao Hei is not here to find trouble, he is not a hero like Guo Kaixin, he also relies on his brothers to make rice.
"Shengzi, how many times have I told you, the business of refractory bricks is returned to me, what have you thought about these days, when will you pay me back?" Lao Hei took the lead, because he brought many more brothers than Liu Sheng, of course he had the right to speak.
"It turned out to be Brother Hei, I have thought about it, at most I will work until the end of the month, and after settling the account with the refractory factory, I will not renew it, what do you think."
"Shengzi, it seems that you said so last month, you won't keep bluffing me, right?"
"How can it, I have a spit and a nail, I have always been creditworthy, as long as it is the end of the month, I will return it to you immediately."
"That's good, but you have to pay me some losses, I've made a lot less money in the past few months, and my brothers haven't worked, you can see how much better."
"Brother Hei, say as much as you want, as long as I can take it out, I won't kick back." The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, Liu Sheng also wants to get over this matter quickly, and he doesn't want to offend Lao Hei.
"100,000 yuan, not a penny less."
"That's too much, I haven't made so much money in this refractory business."
"I don't care how much you earn, I'll inquire about it, after Xinzi goes in, it's you who goes to my house to raid the house, you can make me miserable, my mother scared you, and now you still have incontinence, this money is your compensation."
Liu Sheng didn't say anything, since Lao Hei had said everything about this, it was clear that he couldn't get over today. Most of the money that "Hao Bang'er" gave to Liu Sheng was to renovate the house and get married, and the rest Liu Sheng gave some to his mother and mother-in-law, and then he opened this company and bought some equipment for shipment, but he couldn't get 100,000 yuan at all. Before the end of the month, many of the accounts outside could not be recovered, and he could still get tens of thousands of yuan in his account, and if it was 100,000 yuan, he had to borrow it.
"Brother Hei, you can't say that, let's not say that it's not me who went to your house to raid your house, our affairs are one yard to one yard, and you want too much, I can't take it out, what should I do, you can do it yourself."
"Okay, Shengzi, I haven't seen my temper for a few days, okay, I don't want money today, brothers, put Shengzi down for me, discount one leg for five thousand, one arm for five thousand, and eyes for ten thousand, go on."
Lao Hei's words are the charge, this group of thugs pounced on Liu Sheng like wolves, Liu Sheng thought to himself that this is over, it seems that he can't hide, so he wants to learn from Guo Kaixin's appearance back then, picked up the shovel in the freight yard, and started hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
Liu Sheng's men. Most of them are workers who deliver goods in the freight yard, they have no friendship with Liu Sheng, and they don't want to help Liu Sheng and his opponent desperately at this time.
"These things are really unrighteous, the trees are falling and scattered, everyone takes care of everyone, Shengzi, it's not that I'm old and ruthless. We can't have too many people to do this business, up, up, everybody, give me the shengzi to abolish it. ”
Lao Hei's thugs, while surrounding Liu Sheng, also surrounded Liu Sheng's iron buddies, only to hear someone shouting loudly, "I see which of you dares to move Brother Sheng." Do you know who his uncle is? It's the boss of City A-Hao Stick'er, if anyone dares to hurt him, beware of killing the whole family. ”
The sound came from inside the yard, and the thugs could hear it very clearly. Involuntarily stopped his hands and stood aside.
Although Liu Sheng also suffered some skin injuries, fortunately he did not fall, and if he fell, it would be completely over. These things can't give him a chance to "reverse clamp" at all, and they have to beat him to the point that his bones are broken.
"Hao Stick'er is a JB, he has long been outdated. Brothers, I will give 50,000 yuan if you scrap the shengzi. The old black standing on the side kept shouting.
As soon as the thugs heard that the prize had been increased several times, they rushed up again. Liu Sheng saw that the situation was not good, so he ran to the direction of the coal yard with a shovel.
"Don't tell Shengzi to run away, everyone chase after him." Old Black commanded and screamed wildly.
Liu Sheng's legs are not very fast, and he is about to let the thugs catch up. I saw that a group of people also came to the coal yard at this time, and the leader was none other than the boss of the coal yard workers, Qiang, who saw Liu Sheng running over, and he let Liu Sheng go and blocked the way of the thugs.
"Qiangzi, why did you let Shengzi go, I'm looking for something with him." Lao Hei opened his mouth.
"Lao Hei, you are majestic enough today, Boss Hao was kind to me back then, Shengzi is his nephew, forget about today's matter."
Behind Brother Qiang are all coal unloaders on the railway, two people in a carriage, all of them are infinitely powerful, Lao Hei saw that Brother Qiang was promoted to Liu, so he had to give a favor.
"Shengzi, today Qiangzi protected you, I will let you go, no matter who your uncle is, anyway, you have to pay me 100,000 yuan, otherwise, I will take someone to your house to raid the house, okay?"
Liu Sheng stood behind Brother Qiang, his fists clenched tightly, and he didn't say a word.
Brother Qiang took Liu Sheng to his office, "Shengzi, you are so careless, if it weren't for me today, you would be wasted in this yard." ”
"Brother Xie Lu Xie Qiang, I didn't expect Lao Hei to dare to do this, it's just that there is no one around me, otherwise I wouldn't have let him bully him like this."
Brother Qiang smiled, "No one? Where will there be no one? You are the nephew of Boss Hao, if you are willing to raise your arms and shout, there are thousands of people. ”
Liu Sheng looked at Brother Qiang very strangely, he didn't understand the meaning of his words.
"I won't say anything else, just at this old crossing, there are many people who owe your uncle, if you want them to repay the favor, you can set up a few tables, and I will invite them for you."
"Okay, okay, as long as everyone helps, I'm not afraid of the old black."
"Lao Hei is a JB, and when we were mixed back then, he was still a little deflated three."
Liu Sheng invited guests at the largest state-run hotel in City A, but when it was one o'clock in the afternoon, only Brother Qiang came. Liu Sheng couldn't sit still, "Brother Qiang, have you been notified in place, this meal is about to pass, why is there no one." ”
At this time, someone ran over and leaned on Liu Sheng's ear and underestimated a few words, and Liu Sheng's face immediately changed.
"Oh no, Brother Qiang, Lao Hei is also having a treat today, will our guests all ask Lao Hei to invite him away."
Brother Qiang didn't say anything, but lit a cigarette, took a puff, and closed his eyes.
At half past two o'clock in the afternoon, guests walked into the hotel one after another. Most of Liu Sheng knew him, all of them were seniors of Lao Daokou, but all of them were people between the ages of forty and fifty, which made Liu Sheng's heart even more bottomless.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, most of the guests invited by Liu Sheng came, and when they sat around the table, Brother Qiang introduced Liu Sheng to everyone, and Liu Sheng shook hands with everyone one by one and said hello to each senior.
"Today is the first time Shengzi has set up a banquet, Xie Lu thanks everyone for giving face to Brother Hao, I went to Boss Hao a few days ago, and the boss said that Shengzi is his agent outside, if you serve Boss Hao, you will have to serve Shengzi in the future, have you listened?"
Everyone agreed together, and Liu Sheng was much more energetic at this time, and his head was raised.
Boss Hao said. If you don't give Shengzi face, the words are here, you think about it, as long as it is the person who gives Shengzi face, when he goes to the number, Brother Hao will be courteous, if he doesn't give face, don't go in, and if he goes in, he will have to die. ”
When they heard this, their faces turned pale. They are very clear about the energy of "Hao Stick" in City A Prison, which is very clear, if you don't give Liu Sheng face, as long as you go in, you won't want to come out alive.
Brother Qiang said again, "Which one is good with Lao Hei, go back and bring him a message and tell him to stay away from Shengzi." Let's not bully him, he still wants to stand in front of the tiger to pee, Boss Hao was good twenty years ago, and now it is even better. There is nothing that his old man can't do, as long as Boss Hao is in one day, don't think about the idea of playing Shengzi anymore, listen to it. Tell me the word. ”
Liu Sheng set up the table, he didn't say a few words, and let Brother Qiang do it for him. Because Brother Qiang knew that Liu Sheng's words couldn't shake these old guys who were in and out, only by beating the name of "Hao Sticker" out of the name, they would be afraid, because these people had more or less been helped by "Hao Stick" in the number, even if they didn't get it, as long as he went in the future, he would get it, after all, "Hao Stick" was too good in it.
Liu Sheng's wine this time quickly took effect, and after that, Lao Hei never bothered Liu Sheng again, let alone dared to steal business from him. Gradually, many friends on the road, seeing that Liu Sheng was so good, all took refuge one after another. Liu Sheng is also a person who does not hesitate to make money, as long as someone needs help, he will help him, and he will not hesitate, because he knows that this is a long-term investment, as long as he does not meet the "white-eyed wolf", he will have a return in the future.
The policeman in charge of the section is the second team of the criminal police in the city, Guo Kaiwei, as the captain, has long observed the movements of this time, and he feels that Liu Sheng is the "rising star" on the road and has to be guarded against. So he reported to the leaders of the city bureau, and he slowly collected evidence of Liu Sheng's violations and crimes, but after many investigations, it was found that what Liu Sheng did was a legal industry, and there was no criminal tendency of the underworld, and he was simply a legitimate entrepreneur.
Although "Hao Sticker" was in the number, he knew everything about Liu Sheng's affairs outside, and he found that Liu Sheng did not have the fierceness he had back then, let alone mixing up on the road in the future. But his friends reminded him, it's okay, if you don't come out to mix, there will be no accident, it's good for everyone, Lao Hao also slowly agreed with everyone's statement, in fact, where did he know that Liu Sheng didn't want to do it, he didn't think about how to do it, he either didn't do it, if he wanted to do it, he had to do it, he didn't love money, he loved the scenery of being a "leading big brother".
In the sixth month of Liu Sheng's marriage, Liu Sheng's son was born, and the first thing he did when he came to the world was not crying, but happiness. This frightened everyone, and it was not a good thing that children would not cry. Some people say that little boys are born not to cry, "Ke Dad". But Liu Sheng likes his son very much, "Don't cry Guangle, how good is this, it's easy to take when you're small, and you're a man when you grow up, so let's call him Hao Bin." ”
Everyone doesn't know why Liu Sheng's son is surnamed Hao, in fact, only Liu Sheng's mother, his aunt knows that Liu Sheng doesn't want to change his surname in this life, just to repay his uncle and aunt for raising him, but the son he was born to "recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors", after all, this kid is the real bloodline of the old Hao family.
The birth of his grandson made an exception for "Hao Sticker" to come to Liu Sheng's house. For his safety, the prison also sent a few guards to protect him, but it is conceivable that his enemies are everywhere, if there is no one to protect him, maybe he will die suddenly and inexplicably, in that case, everything will be in chaos.
Seeing that his son was born smoothly, Liu Sheng also had spiritual sustenance, he asked his wife not to go to work anymore, and concentrated on raising his son at home, and he began his own plan to "unify the rivers and lakes". He doesn't want to be just a rich man for the rest of his life, he wants to be the real "leading big brother" in City A. (To be continued......)
