Chapter 11: Yuan Qiu's Request
When I came to the Zen Yi Hall, Uncle Qingsong was sitting in front of the main hall to see a doctor, the fat man looked obscene and grabbed the medicine according to the list, and Yuan Qiu sat on the chair next to him and drank tea with his head down, looking preoccupied.
"Alas, didn't you say that you were going to open a company selling underwear in Dongguan? Why did you run back again? After entering the door, I sat down next to Yuan Qiu and asked him curiously
Some time ago, I heard that he was going to Dongguan to invest in the underwear industry. Dongguan is in a stage of rapid development at this time, China's first garment city is in Humen, it stands to reason that the prospects of this industry should be good. At this time, Yuan Qiu should be busy in Dongguan, how can he have time to come to me
At this time, Yuan Qiu sighed, smiled wryly and cried to me: "Don't mention it, it's all tears if you talk too much." No, I'm here to ask you and Viagra for help! ”
"Oh, what the hell is going on." I asked, confused
Under my inquiry, Yuan Qiu smiled bitterly and told me the whole story.
It turned out that this Yuan Qiu was in trouble in business, and after listening to his account, I was taken aback that this trouble actually originated from the Tao.
In the mid-to-late 90s, there were indeed some triads active in the mainland. Of course, most of the gangs are just small fights, and even the gangs that flourished for a time are inevitably destroyed under the strong crackdown of the government.
There are only a few gangs that are exceptional, these gangs have a long history, are deeply entrenched, and it is very difficult to rectify for a while, to be precise, it is extremely difficult to meddle in management.
For example, 14, Shenghe, Ngee An. These three gangs are collectively known as the triads of Hong Kong, which are the largest gangs in Hong Kong and the three major actors of the underground underworld.
In the 90s, because of the regional environment, the three major gangs were active in Shenzhen and Dongguan in the mainland. Many of its underground casinos, including many of the real businesses, have these figures behind them. These people exist because they are driven by profit, or to get by by collecting protection money, or to do things for money.
And Yuanqiu's investment in Dongguan this time was hindered by one of the triads, Shenghe. For no other reason, the underwear market in Dongguan was monopolized by Chaozhou people at that time. If outsiders want to get a piece of the pie, they must get the approval of the so-called Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce. Of course, this is also related to the distribution of benefits, and I don't know the inside story, but I learned from Yuan Qiu's mouth that the conditions are very harsh.
Because of these harsh conditions, Yuan Qiu's father fell out with the Chaozhou people. The competition in business is usually made in the dark, and if you can't play white, you will play black.
Oil, intimidation, crowd harassment, what can be used is used, endlessly. This night, before locking the door and sleeping, I found that Xiang's safety was fine, and the next morning I found that the door of the company was drenched with red oil. There is a large group of people and a few vans around the door of the company, so that customers who buy goods do not dare to approach your company. Or when you get off work, you inexplicably provoke the employees of your company and tease the female employees of the company.
These methods of the inferior ruffians have been fully applied to Yuanqiu's company. Of course, some people may have asked at this point, won't you call the police?
Yes, Yuan Qiu tried to call the police, but what is the use of this? If you call the police, people will disperse, and when the police leave, people will come. A large group of people gathered here to watch the scenery, and there was no fight or noise, can you arrest people? People casually find an excuse to say that provocation is admitting the wrong person, and that molesting is a pursuit, what can you do to others.
After listening to Yuan Qiu's cry, I also sympathized with him, but I also wondered, what is the use of him coming to us? We don't know anyone from the Hong Kong gang? Although Hong Kong people believe in feng shui, behind these so-called black bosses are more or less under the guidance of several feng shui masters. It's just that outsiders don't know that most of the people in our industry look down on each other like literati.
In particular, the bifurcation between the two metaphysical circles in Hong Kong and the mainland is particularly serious. In the 90s, the common learning in Hong Kong was the southern transmission of Maoshan and Liuren Taoism.
Maoshan in Hong Kong is not Jurong Maoshan in Jiangsu. Jurong Maoshan is the Maoshan of Taoism, and what has been widely spread in Hong Kong is the southern transmission of Maoshan Daxian Ling, which is a folk teaching. The ancestor is Zhang, Hu, and Zhu Sanfa Wanggong, not Sanmao Zhenjun. After years of changes, the Maoshan method has been passed down as the upper, middle and lower three Mao. It was split into Maoshan Zhang Jiajiao, Hu Jiajiao, and Zhu Jiajiao......
I think it may be due to the geographical relationship and the cultural disparity between the two places, so the counterparts in the two places cannot communicate well when they meet, and when they meet, they are like literati to make a name for themselves. The literati talked about articles, calligraphy and painting, and the Taoist priests talked about the Tao and the law. What's more, he said that the Dharma of the world is all derived from our Maoshan Dharma teaching, and they are all spread in Hong Kong.
When he said this, he naturally aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Taoists in the mainland, and regardless of the Lushan Teaching, the representative of the Dharma, the Great Sage Sect, the Huaguang Sect, which is a leader in martial arts, and many other Dharmas, even Hu XX, the descendant of the Maoshan Method, is in Jiangxi in the mainland.
Moreover, Hong Kong's Maoshan Law was mostly implicated in the Boxer Rebellion at the end of the Qing Dynasty, so many masters fled to all over the world and spread out. Hong Kong's Maoshan Law is just one of them, how dare you say that you are the only one.
Therefore, in the 90s, there was no shortage of disputes between the two metaphysical circles in Hong Kong and the mainland. If Yuan Qiu wanted me to intercede with my peers this time, most of them might be yellow.
However, before I could say anything, Yuan Qiu said to me: "I want you and Brother Viagra to go to Macau with me." ”
"What, what are you doing in Macau?" I'm confused, what happened in Dongguan, what's the use of going to Macau?
Yuan Qiu said: "There is a man named Chen Zheng in Macau, and what he says can make the leader of the triad weigh it, but I have no friendship with him. This time I found out that he was asking a feng shui master to change the layout of the Yang Mansion, so I ......"
"So you want to invite me and the fat man to go to Macau with you, we have a good feng shui for him, and you can push the boat down the river and let him solve the trouble from the triad for you?" I blurted out
Yuan Qiu nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
"But with my ability and the fat man's ability, can I do it?" To be honest, although I know that the fat man is better than me in feng shui, I don't know how much better he is than me. Macau is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed and there are many casinos, and I think there will be no shortage of feng shui masters in it.
Yuan Qiu smiled: "Before you came, I had already discussed it with Brother Viagra and Uncle Qingsong. ”
"Oh, so what do they mean?"
"When you go out for a walk and see, you will know how high the sky is, and even if you suffer setbacks, it will help you." Before Yuan Qiu could answer me, Uncle Qing Song took the lead and replied with a smile
"Yes, my dad was right. Isn't there a saying that the chicks in their mother's arms don't grow up anyway. The fat man who was grabbing the medicine echoed continuously, but as soon as the words came out, he was glared at by Uncle Qingsong, and he was so frightened that he quickly retracted.
"Where is the seventh master?"
"I have discussed with Lao Qi's horseman, first pass some simple martial arts and medical methods to Xiaoqiang, and the day will be set for tomorrow...... The day after tomorrow, you can leave for Macao, after all, the use of martial arts and medical skills cannot be practiced overnight. It takes a long time of use and precipitation to understand the mystery and pray for people to fight disasters. Uncle Qingsong stroked his beard and said
Since Uncle Qingsong has said so, this matter has naturally become an ironclad matter. When the evening came, after the patients who came to see the doctor in the Zen Yi Hall dispersed, Uncle Qingsong and I began to prepare for the apprenticeship.
At night, Yang Qiye also came, wearing a bright red robe. It's just that this time there was a surprising exception, the two old-timers met without quarreling, and they were surprisingly quiet.
This night, Yang Qiye stayed in the Zen Yi Hall. Because the apprentice's dojo is set up in the Zen Yi Hall, which is the rule of Huaguang to accept apprentices, the master will stay in the dojo the day before the apprenticeship, and the next morning, wait there for the apprentices who come to apprentice.
