Chapter 164: Typhoon
.“ Thundered! ~~~”
A dull thunder suddenly sounded, and Gao Fan stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the dark clouds in the night, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
At this time of year, there are always many typhoons that spawn from the northwest Pacific Ocean, carrying wind, rain and thunderclouds to the north, ravaging the coastal continent one by one before they are satisfied. It is not for nothing that Gao Fan chose to hold the group's annual meeting at this time in L City, the famous typhoon landing site.
Because often at this time, most of the forces in the city that represent the country will be invested in preparing for the typhoon, and many other things will be relaxed.
And Gao Fan, who has always been known for his prudence, should also take into account any security factors at the most important moment of the company's transformation, especially since his current company has fully begun to enter the whitewashing stage.
The predecessor of the Huandao Group controlled by Gao Fan was one of the famous underground gangs in the eastern region, engaged in smuggling, gambling, demolition, recycling, and other overt or covert profiteering (power) industries, and the wealth accumulated over the past ten years is undoubtedly an astronomical amount. However, this kind of good situation could not last long, under the strong blows and repeated sweeps of the state apparatus, other gangs of the same period as Gao Fan collapsed one after another, and the leaders died and fled. Because Gao Fan took over the power with a bayonet from his former boss, he was no longer involved in highly sensitive fields such as drug trafficking and arms, and he usually restrained the gang to act in a low-key manner, so he was lucky to escape.
It stands to reason that with the current situation, Gao Fan's safest choice is to dismiss the gang, and then go to South America to buy a small island, and squander it in the next life. But how can he be willing to give up all this when he is used to holding the authority to call for all calls and call for wind and rain? What's more, there are tens of thousands of brothers under him to eat, so they have to find a good way out.
So Gao Fan chose another path, he began to give up all related illegal business, using his deep connections and connections to invest in real estate, supermarkets and other industries everywhere, and established a large-scale Huandao Group. It's just that his subordinates don't quite understand his approach, and they are not interested in pulling cement to build houses and sell things, how cool is the demolition! Hit whoever you want, tear down whatever you want, and protect the strips, Gao Fan can only persuade them bitterly, now it's different from the past, and besides, doing real estate is more expensive than drug trafficking, why not.
At this annual meeting, he gathered all the heads and brains together, just to unify his thinking, to completely let go of illegal business and turn to the right industry to whitewash, and at the same time to implement gang rules to punish some disobedient people.
Under his high-pressure and strict orders, everyone who should have come has gathered in this clubhouse located in the seaside villa of L City through various channels, waiting for the annual meeting to be held tonight.
Gao Fan frowned and thought about it, although this action was a little bigger, and many of the brothers who came to the meeting had a case record, but he had done a good job of preparation in advance, and there were sources in all aspects, especially in L City, he invested and set up a business here a few years ago, and he was still a key target for protection.
All signs indicate that the wind is calm and safe.
Gao Fan took a sip of the green tea on the coffee table, the trace of uneasiness in his heart gradually disappeared, he couldn't help but laugh at himself a little, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous he became, sure enough!
"Big brother!"
"Boss!"
The door to the lounge was pushed open, and two young men dressed in fashion and with a hippie smile on their faces entered.
Gao Fan's little good mood that had just risen was immediately destroyed, and he angrily put down the blue and white porcelain in his hand and scolded angrily: "Can you two let me stop for a while?!" Don't keep coming to me with all this, and don't look at what time it is! ”
The two young men suddenly wilted on the spot like frosted eggplants, and their words were pierced by Gao Fan before they could speak, and their faces couldn't help but sneer.
Gao Fan has been promoting new blood in the gang in the past few years, and these two people are a leopard and a knife, and they are his more capable subordinates, and there is no doubt about his loyalty and enthusiasm. Ah Leopard is quick-witted, Xiao Dao is ruthless, Gao Fan vigorously cultivates both of them, their only drawback is that Ah Leopard is more lustful, while Xiao Dao is more wealthy.
As a young person, this is understandable, but it is very bad to be taken advantage of.
"Is Ma Gongzi looking for you again?" Gao Fan was very clear about this, but he was bent on whitewashing and didn't want to make more trouble at this juncture, so he dragged it down.
"Yes, boss, this time we came to L at the right time, and the object is also in L, I have found out clearly, just a lone girl, I promise that there will be no mistakes." Ah Leopard said that his awe of Gao Fan seeped into the bone marrow.
"You know everything, what are you looking for me to do, go and figure it out yourself!" Gao Fan was annoyed for a while, and he couldn't wait to smash a cup on this guy's head.
"Boss, the main thing is that Ma Gongzi is really urging him, he is angry, and we can't help it." Seeing that the situation was not good, the knife hurriedly defended his friend.
Gao Fan calmed down, he owed the old man of the Ma family a favor before, and this whitewashing action needed the support of the Ma family, although he was very disdainful of Ma Rulong, a gentleman, but he still had to help with some favors.
"Urgent? I think it's you who take the benefits of others and are soft! Gao Fan knocked the two guys, and he sighed: "Then let's do it at night, although the other party is just an ordinary person, you should also be cautious, remember not to hurt each other." After the deed is completed, put people in a small villa in the north of the city and treat each other well. ”
Ah Leopard and Xiaodao glanced at each other in surprise, and immediately agreed, this time I finally have an explanation to Ma Gongzi, as long as the boss agrees, it is not a piece of cake to tie up a person and threaten it?
"Remember, if this little thing also leaks the news and causes trouble, you will never appear in front of me again in the future!"
Gao Fan's eyes revealed a bad breath, this Ma Rulong deliberately used things to win over his subordinates, and this breath was only swallowed temporarily.
The two were awe-struck.
Outside the window, there was another flash of lightning and thunder, and raindrops the size of beans poured down, knocking on the thick glass window, and dripping out traces of water.
...
Through the hazy glass window, Lin Qing noticed that the rain outside was falling even more.
Putting down the long tailor's shears in her hand, she put the last piece of U-shaped fabric on the almost finished dress, and turned around under the electric sewing machine, and a pocket was already completed.
Carefully picking out the exposed threads, Lin Qing was satisfied with this old-fashioned stand-up collar outfit, there are not many people wearing this kind of clothes now, most of them are nostalgic old people who like to show off on formal occasions, and the young man who came to order this dress in the morning told her that the clothes were made for his grandfather.
Because time was in a hurry, the young man earnestly hoped that Lin Qing would be able to complete it in the evening.
So, even though the nearby shops were closing early due to the typhoon, Lin Qing was still waiting for the young man to pick up the goods.
Integrity and quality are the main reasons for the survival of this small shop in Linqing, in today's highly modernized world, many people are tired of clothing design companies and garment factory assembly line machinery products, the pursuit of individuality and retro trends. And Lin Qing's consistent handmade tailoring has naturally been favored by many people, and the small shop is quite famous in L City, and Lin Qingquan relies on the income here to support this big family.
Lin Qing picked up the small mirror on the tailor's table and looked at it, although she had worked hard for more than ten years, the years of her favor could make the gods jealous, and there was no wrinkle on the face of the person in the mirror, it was all a mature charm.
Thinking of the fact that many people have changed their methods recently, Lin Qing is still happy in his heart: It seems that I am not old yet!
"Squeak~"
There was a brief sound of brakes outside the door, and then the glass door of the tailor's shop was pushed open, and a cold wind rushed in with the rain.
Ah Leopard patted the raindrops on his head, closed the door with his hand, and he glanced at the knife, which nodded knowingly.
As soon as the knife entered the door, he saw the woman standing by the tailor's table, it was hard to imagine that she was actually the mother of three college students, and her beautiful and gentle appearance made people feel pity.
It's a pity that what I'm going to do today isn't a matter of pity! The knife took the throwing knife he carried with him in his hand and tossed it up and down, the blade shining in the light.
That should be enough to scare her! Knife thought. He is best at throwing knives, known as the "god and ghost hand", the highest record is that he once fired 32 flying knives in a row in one minute, stabbing 32 people's wrists!
Of course, I don't think it's necessary to use such a tactic today.
Lin Qing was not frightened, she had seen too much of the show-off methods of some young people, thinking that the same was true of the knife, not to mention that she recognized A Leopard.
"Heh, you're so accurate, I just made this dress, you wait a minute, I'll iron the sleeve collar again!" Lin Qing said to Ah Leopard with a smile.
Ah Leopard glanced at Lin Qing a little confused, this boss lady is very beautiful, but it's a pity that he prefers the young little mm, such as the ones given to him by Ma Rulong.
"Okay, I want the clothes, but the boss, you also have to go with us!"
Lin Qing sensed that the situation was wrong, and she asked vigilantly, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'm going to ask your precious son!"
Xiao Yue!
Lin Qing's heart tightened for a while, she completely forgot about her current safety.
