Chapter 17: The Broker
The brokers themselves are not sensitive, but sensitive to the areas involved. To put it bluntly, they can only locate one end of the line, and where the other end is led to nail, which will determine their survival status.
Unfortunately, the threshold for the field of seeing light is too high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get started, so some brokers have switched to fields that cannot see the light, such as Hou Liang. He wanted to get rich, and he thought he was not afraid of things, but he didn't want to hide in Tibet, so he compromised, moved his mouth, didn't do anything, became a news broker, and used his connections and channels to help others inquire about news.
He can't touch and can't touch those high-level fields, such as economics and politics, so he only makes one kind of news: Jianghu news.
In the real world, he only opened Internet cafes and sold news, and did nothing else, so his life seemed to be peaceful on the surface.
It's just that Hou Liang didn't expect that the balance of survival that he had been trying to whitewash for a long time would be broken in the early hours of this morning.

The timing of the appearance of the makeup was delicate, and Hou Liang couldn't determine which group of guests the girl in front of him belonged to for a while, revealing the professional smile of the shopkeeper.
"Are you...... Want to surf the internet? He stood up, his eyes kept looking, and the other party's first impression of him was very guarded, his eyes were fierce, and his expression was a little hesitant.
Unlike the group of guests who surf the Internet during the day.
There are only two kinds of people who can find him here, one is crooked, and they happen to know that there is a place with Internet access; The other is the related household, who has been introduced by someone and is very clear about the business and charges here.
It seems that this girl belongs to the latter.

"I don't have an ID card and want to go online." β
Hou Liang withdrew his smile, lowered his head to look for a cigarette, and was a little lazy, "There are a lot of Internet cafes outside that can access the Internet without ID cards, and I don't charge cheap here." β
When he looked up again, Sheng Makeup had already walked to the counter, his arms folded on the countertop, "I still want to ask something." β
It dawned on him that this was a knowledgeable person, and that would be easy to do. Today's business is quite good, and these two are rushing to his side business.
He didn't talk nonsense, "You understand the rules, right?" β
Sheng Makeup only vaguely knew something, in order not to show timidity, his tone was loud, "In the past, the price of one message from you, now I will give you two messages of equal value according to the standard of the industry." β
Hou Liang smiled, and the sharp-beaked monkey's bald and small-eyed face showed disapproval, "Equivalent news? Looks like you don't know much about this business. This thing can't be seen or touched, it's only valuable in the eyes of those who need it, and to others, useless news is garbage. β
Sheng smiled and smiled, not in a hurry, "The honey of A and the arsenic of B, under normal circumstances." But if this news can save lives, even if it is useless to others, at least it has a Lord, and a Lord has value. β
Hou nodded, "That's rightβyou name it, and I'll estimate it." β
Sheng Makeup said, "Before the news comes out, you can still tell whose it is, but after you say it, you can't tell it." Besides, how do I know if you have what I want? β
Hou Liang involuntarily asked, "What do you want?" β
Sheng said, "I'm going to inquire about something that happened fifteen years ago. β
Hou Liang has a database in his head. Because of the light sensitivity of the news itself, it is risky to record them on any entity, he came out to mix with society at a very young age, step by step to today, according to his friend's words, he is also a person with "industry", relying on remembering to eat and play, eating a trench and growing wisdom to survive until now.
That's why he has a good memory.
