Dead silence, frozen dead silence.

Even the bigwigs who were quietly peeping in the side room were dumbfounded, staring at the arrogant figure. For the first time in a long time, I saw someone so presumptuous that he dared to trample Kitahara's face under his feet.

Only Kitahara, sluggishly looking down, looked at the fingers poked in his chest.

Still, unbelievable.

When he looked up, he saw Huai Shi's mocking and indifferent pupils, his face turned red from red to iron blue, and the cane between his five fingers was almost pinched and gurgling, roaring angrily:

"Bastard, do you dare to insult me!"

"It's just a few words of truth, so you don't need to be so angry, right?"

Huai Shi sighed, "I don't need to speak so loudly, I can hear—"

He paused, his eyes became dangerous, he calmly patted the shoulder of the man in front of him, arranged his collar and hair, and told him gently: "Even if you don't know how to be polite, you shouldn't be so rude in front of the spirit of the deceased, just calm down, okay?"

Through the dress, patted the holster under his ribs, Huai Shi slowly let go of his hand, took a step back, looked at his appearance, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, you are the messenger of the five big guys, you shouldn't be like us street gangsters, you always have to show a dignified appearance." ”

"You think you've won?"

Kitahara squeezed out a hoarse voice from between his teeth, his old face was full of gloom, staring at his face deadly, "You think you are very powerful, very strong, I know, every year there will be people like you who don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky, and want to provoke the authority, but the sky is thick and the earth is thick."

You think that with Fujimoto's legacy in your hands, you can argue with the five bosses, but you are dreaming, with paper, if the five bosses don't allow it, you don't even have to do this boss!"

"Probably, maybe, maybe it's like you say?"

Huai Shi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly and smiled: "But, what kind of thing are you? If you want to take away my position, let the five big guys come and talk to me." ”

"Ochiai, Ikutenmu, Kuga, Chiba, and Arakawa, whoever it is. ”

He bent down and whispered in Kitahara's ear, "If they are not satisfied with me as a newcomer, then ask them to come and tell me in person." ”

In the silence, Beiyuan raised his eyes, looked at the face of the man in front of him, and quickly, slowly bowed his head: "Very good, I will bring your original words."

Huai Paper, I really hope that you will have such a backbone when you die. ”

He withdrew his resentful gaze, said no more, and turned away. But he didn't take a few steps before he heard a voice behind him.

“...... By the way, aren't you here to offer condolences?"

Huai Shi in front of the spiritual throne turned around and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you go on incense?"

Kitahara's footsteps paused, his expression twitched, and he restrained his anger, turned around, and raised his hand towards the bottom of the mountain. He bent down and offered a bouquet of incense sticks in both hands.

Incense sticks were lit in the candle flames, and the fleeting flame of light rose, illuminating the faces of the old and the young, and soon disappeared into the vapor blowing in the light rain.

Only a glimmer of fire fell into the incense burner, turning into curling green smoke and spreading in all directions.

Seeing Kitahara leave angrily, the pale face walked over from the mountain, and lowered his voice: "Kitahara is the messenger of the five bigwigs, if you ......"

"I know. ”

Huai Shi said: "I did it on purpose. ”

Yamashita was sluggish: "Why?"

"It's very simple. Huai Shi turned around and looked at him calmly, "If there is no chance, how can the newcomer come out?"

Yamashita wanted to speak and stopped.

He was tempted to say that he was roasting the Fujimoto group on a fire, and if it spread, he was afraid that it would be in danger of overturning. But the Fujimoto group no longer exists, and now it should be the wai paper group. What has already been decided, what qualifications does he have to make irresponsible remarks?

The wood has been completed, and what remains is nothing more than a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and after the panic, the mountain has accepted the reality. If the five bigwigs are held accountable, it's a big deal to accompany the team leader on the road.

He lowered his eyes and stopped talking.

The evil consequences of offending Kitahara don't have to wait for tomorrow, they are already manifesting at this moment. The bigwigs who were originally involved in the farewell in the side room have begun to put forward various excuses and leave one after another.

Admiring the courage of Yu Huaizhi's expulsion of the five big messengers, it doesn't mean that they like to associate with a guy who doesn't know the height of the sky.

"Oh, Mr. Huaizhi can be said to be young and promising, he should have stayed to drink a few more glasses of water and wine, but there is an urgent matter at home, and he can't stay for a long time, it's a pity. ”

The old man of the Yamada group pretended to be sorry, held Huaishi's hand, and said goodbye.

Huaishi didn't force it, and even Fujimoto's widow and children were not left.

Just smile and say goodbye one by one.

"Don't you have to leave after dinner? He politely sent them out of the door: "Everyone walk well on the road, and it will not be far away." ”

Seeing the old people turn around, Huai Shi looked at the house and asked as if he was puzzled: "It's really strange, isn't everyone interested in the legacy of the Tiger King Group?"

Under the umbrella, the old man Yamada paused a little as he left, but he didn't look back, and left as usual.

Five minutes later, there was a knock on the back door.

The old man who went and returned smiled down the mountain: "Oh, I forgot to bring an umbrella, can I make it convenient to let the old man bother with dinner?"

"Of course, inside please. ”

Yamashita pointed to the side room next to the mourning hall.

In the side room, which was bustling again, how many pairs of eyes looked at it, and it immediately became unpleasant.

"Aren't you gone, old turtle, why did you come back?"

"My nephew and Fujimoto are brothers in prison, so why can't we have a glass of wine at his funeral? ”

"Lao Tzu only has two sons, and they are both eating in prison, where did you get any daughters?

In less than ten minutes, more than a third of the people ran back again, just like the second and third meetings of the tacit understanding between the staff of the club, after deceiving the irrelevant and uninteresting guys, they reunited in a familiar place again.

It is true that the Huai Paper Group does not know what to do, and it may be in danger.

But that doesn't stop the legacy of the Tiger King Group from being so fragrant!

If you don't take advantage of the current situation and wait for the high-level of the alliance to distribute it, I don't know how much effort it will take to get it, how can it compare to the pleasure of robbing while the fire is burning now?

Even if the Huai Paper Group is no longer there, but the industry that everyone spent money to buy, even if you are the Big Five, you can't say that people will be refunded, right?

Even though Jidao does not follow the so-called process and never pays taxes, it has its own rules. There is too much room for manoeuvre, and there are too many profits to be made, so I can't help but be unmoved by these old ghosts.

Besides, I can't figure out if I can eat another wave of nostalgic paper groups...... Isn't it beautiful that the inheritance of the two groups serves itself?

Looking at the lively atmosphere in the room from afar, Huai Shi turned around and left. The rest of the matter is lost to the house, and there is no need for him to come forward again.

.

An hour later, the house hurriedly walked into the lounge specially prepared for Huai Shi, sweating profusely and wiping his forehead.

"Team leader, the assets of the Tiger King Group have been sold, and the fixed assets and the goods in their hands, as well as the channels and stores of the chain bubble tea shops, have all been bought by those four......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help the pain in his flesh.

It's still too hasty, the group of old things lions opened their mouths, and there was no room for counter-bargaining when they bargained, it was like buying cabbage.

And this kind of industry that has not been dealt with cleanly, according to the rules, has to be discounted by 30%.

It's basically the same as a Ming robbery!

He bowed his head and handed over the thick document in his hand, and said, "This time, it is by the Yamada gumi and ...... respectively."

Huai Shi waved his hand and interrupted the next tirade: "Just say the total number to me." ”

"It's five or seven million, dollars. ”

The house lifted his glasses and took a few breaths to avoid having a heart attack: "According to your requirements, as long as the cash and hard currency are not enough, mortgage them first, and settle them within a week." ”

After hurriedly calculating the borrowed income, he couldn't help but be overjoyed: "In this case, Fuji ...... No, the paper group now has a lot of ...... in their accounts."

"What do you want so much money for?"

Huai Shi waved his hand indifferently: "How much money is on the account now?"

"Counting the balance and liquidity of the previous quarter, the majority is the advance payments that have just been turned over, totaling about $9 million. ”

"That's a lot. ”

Huai Shi bowed his head clearly, stared at the twilight that was gradually rising in the sky outside, and thoughtfully said: "In the house, you say, how many people are there in the entire inner circle of Tanbo?"

"Huh?"

After thinking for a long time, he said with some hesitation: "Probably, there are about 200,000 people, right? Anyway, the annual census does not count here, and no one counts it." ”

"That's two hundred and fifty thousand. ”

Huai Shi lowered her head, stared at the cigarette scroll that was extinguishing at her fingertips, thought about it, and shrugged: "Then, let's do it." ”

Without waiting for the house to react, he raised his head and smiled:

"Go and tell everyone here that there's a guy named Wai Paper, who has just arrived, and wants to treat them to a drink, and I want to ask everyone to take care of them in the future. ”

He said, "I'm going to treat everyone to a drink." ”

The house froze, stiffened in place, dumbfounded.

"Boss, you...... Is it serious?"

"Such a large sum of money can't be used for jokes, right?" Huai Shi said, "Help me do the math, do you have a calculator?"

This is the simplest arithmetic problem.

The cheapest twilight draft beer is 270 yuan per can...... Calculated together, it will cost a total of 67 million dollars, which is converted into US dollars, which is almost close to 700,000 US dollars!

"In this case, there will be more than eight million left. ”

Huai Shi pinched her chin and thought for a while, and took out a business card from her pocket - Border and Peace Water Conservancy Group.

"Contact this company, I have already negotiated the terms of the contract, just discuss the issue of advance payment and follow-up payment, and remember to reserve a part of the cost of pipe laying and renovation. ”

"After that, you can go and tell the people who drink that starting next week, everybody will be able to buy water from us — clean, clear, real drinking water. ”

"But water is different from wine, which is free, and water is three times the market price." ”

In the silence, the hand holding the paper in the house trembled, almost suspecting that he had misheard, but it was difficult to question his words again. For a long time, he gasped, and finally calmed down.

With trembling hands and his glasses removed, the white-haired man bent down and bowed forward, ninety-degree.

"Yes!"

.

.

Two minutes later, the first order from the leader of the paper group reached everyone's ears.

It's not fire, it's not rebuke or praise.

It's just a simple thing to say, and I want to invite everyone to have a glass of wine.

Most people thought he was crazy, and some people were already quietly preparing to leave, looking for a good home for themselves before the big waves. But many more are choosing to stay.

Because the time is too rushed, because we are still waiting, and even more because of ...... The red envelope given by the eldest brother is so fragrant.

Of course, there are also uneasy members who quietly find Ueno, who is closest to the bottom, and ask with concern: "Brother Ueno, I heard that the boss offended the five bosses, is it true? I'm afraid everyone won't have a good life in the future." ”

"Brother Huaizhi is a real man, what do you know?!"

Dressed in bandages, Ueno smoked a cigarette and squinted as if he were looking at a group of stupid forks: "Didn't you get the bonus? Give me a good job!"

Isn't there a freight company in Yamadakai? If you don't have enough people, then call over those drugged wastes in your house, and if you have hands and feet, won't the boss give money!"

Anyway, tonight, under this absurd order, the new group of nostalgic paper began to operate.

More than twice as many people and countless foreign helpers were mobilized, countless money was spilled, and then, with more than 70 percent of the budget, almost all convenience stores and warehouses in Kyoto were emptied, the phone calls of suppliers were blown up, and the trucks even went to Nara and Osaka.

And at ten o'clock in the evening, it seems that the beer of the whole world has arrived in the inner circle of Tambo.

Then, under the bewildered gaze of the onlookers, the members of the paper group moved to the side of the street one after another, piling up mountains at hundreds of intersections.

When the bell rang in the distance, men with tattoos and ill-fitting dresses jumped out of the car, unpacked them neatly, and greeted them politely.

Every can of beer was delivered to anyone who passed by.

Gratis.

And so, they took the trouble to tell everyone: this is not a promotional advertisement, nor is it some despicable scam, but just a gentleman who wants to treat you to a drink.

You don't need to know who Wai Shi is, you don't need to understand what he's doing here, whether you choose to accept it or reject it, he just wants to make you happy.

Even if the time is only for a moment, even if the happiness is only a fraction.

It's that simple.

He just wants you to be doing well.

Some people refused, quickly walked away, and watched vigilantly. But there are more people who choose to accept it without caring and take over the heavy beer.

Then, after carefully looking at the production date and label, pull open the tab and taste it.

Some people praised it, while others took two sips and threw it in the trash. Whether it's curiosity, skepticism or resistance, more and more people are coming together.

Let the atmosphere gradually heat up, and let the sound of cheers spread in all directions.

In the end, in this narrow and dirty inner circle of Tamba, it converges into a thin and rippling sea.

Many years later, there are still people who can recall the cheers and laughter of the streets that night, and the appearance of everyone raising the beer in their hands and drinking happily.

Once again, people hidden in alleys, under bridges, and in corners took to the streets, taking a can of beer from their hands without any humility.

Whether it's a hooligan, a pole, an ordinary, a hybrid, a helper, or a dancer, all of them have hallucinatory smiles on their faces under the neon lights.

The distant sound of the harmonica came in the wind, and everything was drowned in the sweet smell of wheat.

It's as if there is no longer a haze in the world.
