I took the notebook handed over by Lu Fangding, I don't know what it is. I opened it and looked at it, and I remembered someone's name in it, and there were some messy records.

"It's a matter of learning to sit on this chair." Lu Fangding smoked a dry cigarette and said: "There are many rules and regulations, there are many ways in it, you can't grasp it at once, just remember six words." ”

"Which six words?"

"The punishment should be severe, and the reward should be heavy. A soft-hearted person, sitting on this chair, will be lifted down sooner or later, if you are too good at talking, no one will be afraid of you, so if someone makes a mistake below, you must not be soft when you should be punished. In the same way, the people below do things for you, you have to be willing to spend money, if you deduct and shrink, no one will work for you in the future. ”

"I'm afraid, it's not the material to sit on this chair......" I listened to Lu Fang's words, and felt that what he said made sense, but I was not destined to be a ruthless person.

"Qingshui Pond doesn't raise fish, don't understand everything too well, your subordinates have done what they should do, take the opportunity to make a little money, you just turn a blind eye and pass it, don't care, don't pursue it. If you block everyone's financial routes, who will still work hard in the future? ”

"Now it's not a question of whether I care or not, it's whether they care about me or not." Although I haven't had any contact with Lu Fangding's subordinates, I can figure it out with my toes, there is a vegetarian in the ancient line? Can a person like me, who has no foundation or prestige, hold down those old oilers?

These bigwigs in the ancient industry generally have their own rules when they change shifts. These rules are empirical and have their own merits. The bigwigs choose their successors, and they will not easily choose their sons, because only those who have mixed up with the ancient industry and fought for a piece of the world with a knife and a gun know that it is difficult to start a business and it is even more difficult to keep a business. I have worked hard all my life, it is nothing more than to make the future generations live a better life, it is easy to wash my hands of gold, get out of this fire pit, do you push your own descendants into the fire pit?

Therefore, the boss of the ancient line will generally choose the most suitable one among his henchmen. The chosen person will inevitably remember this kindness, even if the big guy washes his hands and retires, filial piety is indispensable for the New Year's holidays. If there is anything, I am willing to help.

The ancient line near Huayang, from the liberation to the nineties of the last century, was a gap period. Before the liberation, the most bullish man in the ancient line was surnamed Yan, it was really the dragon and phoenix among the people, the mental means were convincing, both black and white could be opened, to say a word that was not an exaggeration, Yan Lao stomped his feet, and the entire ancient line had to tremble.

It's just a person with such a tough wrist, and he still makes a mistake when he hands over shifts. It's not that there are no people under him who can take his seat, but Boss Yan is bent on handing over the seat to his only son to sit on. His son is a second ancestor, except for eating, drinking and having fun, he doesn't know anything, he has no talent and no virtue.

It stands to reason that the family business left by Boss Yan will not be able to be eaten for ten lifetimes. But he still didn't want to hand over the territory he had worked hard to build all his life to outsiders, so he insisted on supporting his son to the throne. His son, the mud can't support the wall, when Boss Yan was alive, the people of Gu Xing rushed at his face, and it was not too much, and as soon as Boss Yan died, it was completely messed up, not only the territory was gradually lost, but even his son died.

Therefore, if the successor does not have any foundation, then it will be difficult to gain a foothold, and even run into great trouble.

When I think about this, I suddenly regret it. If you can use Lu Fangding's resources, then in the future actions, manpower and money will not be a problem, but the most important thing is, what if I can't suppress these people?

"You took my place, there are thirty-seven people below, there are three, absolutely reliable, and there are three more, maybe you have to turn back." Lu Fangding took the cigarette pouch, pointed to the notebook that was handed to me just now, and said: "The remaining thirty-one, as long as the means are appropriate, there should be no chaos, after so many years, no one is clean, these thirty-one people, big and small, are all recorded in this notebook, when necessary, take it out to stop them." ”

Lu Fangding's team and Zhao Sanyuan's team, the composition of the members is not the same, Zhao Sanyuan has no sand in his eyes, he is not the same as himself, and he has already been cleared out. As for Lu Fangding's team, the members are a little complicated. When he fought with Zhao Sanyuan before, his strength was insufficient, and to guard against Zhao Sanyuan, he had to slowly expand his territory and strength, so he had to take some necessary measures. For example, the land of the Qikong Bridge, which was originally occupied by someone, was originally occupied by Lu Fangding, and swallowed this piece of land, but let the original owner continue to operate, so as to ensure that the strength is expanded, and there will be no huge losses caused by the rush.

Lu Fangding's strength has gradually increased, and he can compete with Zhao Sanyuan, but the territory expanded by this means back then has gradually become a bit of a big tail, and has become a few tricky nails. It's just that there is nothing wrong with the other party, and once Lu Fangding wants to reach out and pull out these nails, it is very likely to cause infighting.

"If not, then ...... Then forget it......" I flipped through the notebook and said, "I don't want to cause too much trouble......"

"You just make a little bit of a difference, how do you do big things? You are human, he is also human, what's so terrible? ”

I didn't answer him again, but I kept muttering in my heart. Lu Fangding wanted to hand over his position to me, what did he mean?

Lu Fangding kept smoking dry cigarettes, and the house was smoky and burning, and even people like me, who usually smoked, couldn't stand it. He smoked a cigarette and told me some ways to convince the public, and I listened to it for a long time, and I felt that there was a reason in my heart, but if I really wanted to do it, I couldn't do it.

I have to say that people like Lu Fangding and Zhao Sanyuan can fight in Guxing, relying not only on their fists, but more importantly, their brains and cheeks. If the brain is not flexible and the skin is not thick enough, then you will be blind.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Fangding's driver brought in some food. Lu Fangding took a bowl and asked the driver to give me a bowl too. I looked down and saw that inside the bowl were noodles, the pale noodles that were popular in our hometown in the countryside.

As I was holding this bowl of noodles, the question that had been in my mind once again surfaced. Lu Fangding doesn't pursue material enjoyment at all, coarse tea and light rice to fill his stomach is finished, so what is he trying to do after fighting for half his life?

"His surname is Yuan, and he is the original four seas." Lu Fangding ate noodles slowly, pointed at the driver with chopsticks, and said to me: "He is reliable, if there is anything in the future, tell him first." ”

Although the driver named Yuan Sihai rarely speaks, he knows the rules very well and is old and steady. I met him once, and when I look at it again today, I feel that he should be Lu Fangding's henchman, not only driving Lu Fangding, but also responsible for contacting the people below, and even serving tea and water is also what he does.

After eating simply, it was already 4:40, and there were still twenty minutes before the gang would gather here. Lu Fangding slowly lay on a bamboo recliner at the head of the bed, closed his eyes and recuperated.

I feel that his spirit is not good, far from the old and strong appearance of Jiang Gui when I saw him before. I was only two steps away from him, and it was at this moment that a thought popped into me.

I have always felt that my father's death is inseparable from Lu Fangding. After my father died, I wasted two years of my time looking for Lu Fangding. I always thought that I had no chance to avenge my father, because no matter in terms of personal strength or social background, I was not Lu Fangding's opponent.

But now? Lu Fangding in front of me seems to be an old man who is about to die, as long as I grit my teeth and work hard, maybe, I can kill him.

As soon as this thought came to me, I felt like a thief, and I couldn't help but sneak a glance at Lu Fangding. Lu Fangding closed his eyes, and for just a few minutes, he seemed to be asleep.

It's just that I finally put the idea down, and I'm not stupid enough to do that.

At five o'clock, Yuan Sihai came over to call Lu Fangding, Lu Fangding may have really fallen asleep, and when he was woken up, his eyes were a little distracted. He sat up slowly on the chaise longue and led me down the circular hallway.

"It's a remote and quiet place, and it's spacious, so it's easy to call people to talk about something." Lu Fangding looked at the people who had gathered below, and said to me without looking back: "Some goods can also be placed here." ”

As soon as Lu Fangding appeared, the people below all stood up in an orderly manner. I followed him all the way downstairs, and my legs were a little weak, this kind of formation, I had never seen before, and I was not very comfortable.

"Sit down." Lu Fangding didn't have any expression on his face, and said lightly, and the people below sat down one after another. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I raised my eyes and looked again. More than 30 people, tall and short, fat and thin, some looked at Sven, some looked at the sideways face, I thought, if I suppress these people, it is estimated that it will not be a simple matter.

However, I can see that Lu Fangding is suppressing these people, no matter what these people think in their hearts, but at least they are obedient on the surface.

"Calling you here today, two things, the first, this year's business, so-so, can be regarded as passable. When the company settles the accounts, there will be a sum of money, and you take it and give it to the people below. ”

As soon as they heard that they were going to pay dividends, everyone was happy. Part of Lu Fangding's business can't be moved to the table, but there are some physical stores, and he has a company called Chase under his name. When people in ancient times talk about Datong, they all know that they are talking about Lu Fangding.

"The second thing, I'm older, and in the past two years, my spirit can't keep up, so I have to change someone to sit in my position." Lu Fangding pointed at me and said to everyone: "His surname is Lian, I will explain to everyone today, from now on, my position will be sat by him." ”
