Chapter 1: The Wind Rises
After the second uncle left, the lock village was temporarily calm, and the second uncle handed over part of the business here to me before leaving. I found out that the second uncle's business is very big, basically with the nearby antique dealers, and even the hidden smuggled cultural relics in it, things have become more and more all of a sudden, but fortunately, Chen Jiu has handled the matter in an orderly manner, and the trajectory of the second uncle's business has been continuing a good channel, and there is no big mess, I have not been ashamed to get rid of the business during the time he went to do business.
So I now have a new identity, that is, the small boss under the second uncle, this is the identity of the person known from the outside, but in the lock village, I have undoubtedly become a legend, although everyone knows that I made a fortune because of my second uncle Zao Wou-ki. But in this era, everyone only recognizes money, who cares how you got here?
So every time I go back to the lock village, it can be regarded as a return to my hometown, and I myself am also very immersed in this state, luxury cars and beauties, this is the life that I can only envy in college. But because I seemed to have become very rich overnight, those few fat guys who used to play well with me gradually became unfamiliar, after all, they were still living in the lock village, but I walked out, and I could feel a layer of separation gradually appeared in my group. Acres of claw blood.
In other words. In the past, a handful of peanuts and three bottles of old white dry, they called me, and we went up the back mountain to drink and eat peanuts and brag. But now I can't, I'm too busy to drink with them, and they feel like I'm driving a car. I'm embarrassed to ask me to eat peanuts, but they can't afford to entertain them.
And I, but I am still a person who values feelings, and at the same time I also know that my so-called wealth is given to me by my second uncle, in fact, it is nothing, I can't have nothing one day, and I forget the reputation of my brothers when I get rich, so I took a few of them to Luoyang to play with me.
Chen Jiuliang was not very happy with this move. But it's not convenient to object, I didn't explain it to him, what I originally wanted was to arrange a job for them casually, even if it was to be a horse boy, it's better than mixing in the village, isn't it?
But after a week, I found that this is not estrangement, but the world is really different, I at least went to college, and my ability to accept some new affairs is okay, but my brothers are basically Chinese, which is equivalent to illiteracy, many things are not done, originally let them deal with some easier work, but always go wrong.
Because of this, Chen Jiuliang found me, the second uncle is not there, I seem to be above 10,000 people under one person, in fact, I know that in the entire business core of the second uncle, Chen Jiuliang speaks more than me, plus a few of them do always make mistakes, I really can't hang on my face, so I said to Chen Jiuliang: "Drive them back to the lock village, I really can't afford to lose this person, so how will you let me see people in the lock village in the future?" ”
Chen Jiuliang didn't speak, so I could continue: "Otherwise, although they are uneducated, they have strength, and my buddies are all bold, and the second uncle doesn't have some shady business, let them do it." ”
Antique industry, dealing with tomb robbers, in Luoyang, the Central Plains itself is simple, so there will be some tough means, to put it bluntly, is to let a few of them go to be thugs, this is also a high-yield job, no need for culture, just need to be able to fight and dare to fight, but dangerous, I didn't want them to go there before I was afraid that if something happened to them, I couldn't explain to their families, and now I have to arrange them in, in fact, they are the most suitable to do this kind of thing.
This decision is undoubtedly correct, Huzi and a few of them are too suitable for this job, seven days, it only takes seven days, they are famous, because of the huge relationship network of the second uncle, they are a little unscrupulous and lawless, almost the entire underworld knows that there are several brothers who call themselves gourd babies have been very ruthless recently, and they are in the limelight for a while.
Hulu baby, is the nickname they gave themselves, divided into big baby, two baby, three baby and four baby, and they even made up a nickname for me called Seven Baby. Seeing them like this, although I was a little worried, I felt that it should be fine, after all, the second uncle's business in Luoyang was indeed leaky.
When I later felt that they were excessive, I found that I could not speak of them, and even I could not control them myself.
The six of them took in their own younger brothers, and within a month they became a new gang, and the second uncle's business was in the antique business, but they even stretched their hands longer, collected protection money, and monopolized the traffic on some rural roads. There are many scenic spots in Luoyang, they control the tickets, and there is a small amount of money such as the license plate of the vehicle, they also see it in their eyes, and many people have found my head in the face of the second uncle, saying that I will take care of them, which is a little too much to look at others!
That is to say, what they didn't have originally, now they have it, they use the relationship between the second uncle on the white road, and they are ruthless on the underworld, I feel that this gourd brother is the first in the world, when I went to them to let them converge, they also said to me, you have made a fortune, and you still don't let the brothers drink soup? We don't have the ability to make big money, what if we don't catch these small ones?
They blocked me with words, and even Huzi, who had always had an iron relationship with me and wore a pair of pants, began to treat me with a set of things on the surface and behind my back, promising me not to reach out tomorrow, but what should I do or what to do, and then I didn't even see me at all, called to turn off the phone, and went to the house where no one was there.
This makes me have a deep sense of powerlessness, they are all out of the way, they have bought a car and worn a suit for three days, I am very happy, but I have a faint worry, the water in Luoyang is too deep and complicated, I am not afraid that they will affect me, what I am afraid of is that they will be shot in the head.
Chen Jiuliang knew my worries, and this time the woman did not laugh at me, but said: "Once people have what they have always wanted, they will lose themselves in it, so it is useless for you to persuade them, they can only let them fall on their own." ”
"I understand this truth, I am not afraid that they will be frustrated, I am afraid that once something happens to them, they will not even have a chance to correct it, and which of the business they do is not dancing on a sharp knife, and they may die at any time?" I said helplessly.
"That's true, but I have something to tell you, now that they think they're strong enough to eat into our business, I'm not going to wipe their butts in the future." Chen Jiu said.
I nodded helplessly, this is also my most anxious place, people have money, there are naturally people, there is no shortage of military advisers, Luoyang's antique industry is not to say that it is the most profitable, at least it is the most profitable, tomb robbers dig things out of the soil, and when they change hands, they are dozens of times the profit.
Huzi's eyes are red, he even meddled in the antique business, I used to take him to meet customer friends, now he is digging, and even someone has become his partner under coercion and lure.
All this, two months, only two months, Huzi and the six of them have become very strange to me, I can no longer recognize them.
They are a dark horse in the underworld of Luoyang, they will kill all sides as soon as something happens, they are really rich, and they also know that I am just running errands for the second uncle, Huzi even found me, saying that I will cooperate with them, take advantage of the second uncle's absence to take over all the business networks and relationship networks here, and give shares afterwards, it is not better than being a dog leg for the second uncle?
I rejected him, and I felt very helpless about their changes.
I knew something was going to happen to them, and I had a strong premonition from the day they got their hands on antiques.
My second uncle Huang Lao is not the boss in this industry, and there are even very secret tomb robber families such as the Zhao family's black family, they rush in and have the posture of sweeping Liuhe, aren't they looking for death?
Every day I worry about the day when the wind blows.
