Chapter 583, Fuyang Black Forces (2)
The Red Light Street is lifeless during the day, and there are not many people in sight on the street, and occasionally a few cars pass by, as if it were an abandoned city. But at night, it is brightly lit, and the soliciting ladies stand in rows at the door, waiting for the arrival of the prostitutes.
After eight o'clock in the evening, this is the paradise of playing nightlife, don't look at the chaos here, but the chaos has the benefits of chaos, and there is also chaos order, the more chaotic it is, the more profitable it is, the things on the surface are regulated by the government, and the legal system in the secret has people on the underworld to adjudicate.
In this red light street, there are no less than dozens of large and small underworld forces, from the lowest social gangsters to the big brother of the underworld who is also an official, it can be said with certainty that none of the people who do business here are 'clean'.
There are even many officials who blatantly buy and sell here under the banner of others, these are just the status quo of society, and the temptation of money is the greatest, I don't remember who said such a sentence, called 'people are not high, but the chips are not high enough'.
Now it seems that this sentence is too reasonable, although there are many major forces here, but no one dares to stand up and plant a flag here, if you dare to plant a flag here today, you may be pulled out tomorrow.
It's not that you're not qualified, but the social status quo is like this, maybe you're the richest here, the most powerful, with a lot of younger brothers, and the hardest government relations, but these are just a halo, what is the real underworld brother craving the most?
In fact, it is not a hegemony, dominating the rivers and lakes, those are things that only ignorant children can fantasize, what they want is often just to live a peaceful life, no matter how big the big brother is, you put a gun to his head, and he is just as scared as he pees his pants.
People are the same, blowing to death when they have nothing to do, and they are dumbfounded when they really have something, plus since ancient times, they have killed God, and I am such a fallacy that I am God, which makes these big brothers in the rivers and lakes more and more restrained, and they can be low-key when they are low-key.
If this boss hangs up, do you think any younger brother will be stupid enough to avenge you, it's good if you don't steal fun, there are very few emotions in the real underworld, most of them are driven by interests.
Therefore, the underworld forces here are all hegemons, they have their own territory and their own livelihood, everyone does not interfere with the river water, they do their own business, and try not to provoke anyone, even if there is any run-in, it will be okay to come forward and talk clearly.
After all, making money is the most important thing, no one will be idle all day long and nothing will be you smash my field today, and I will smash your livelihood tomorrow, everyone knows that there is a bit of a backstage for those who can buy and sell here and be the boss.
But that's just superficial, or are there people fighting in secret, for what? One word, profit, as the saying goes, where there are people, there will be fighting, there will be deprivation, and many of the people who do business here are peers.
Whether it's opening a sauna or running a nightclub, you're not the only one, so sometimes it leads to a lot of trouble in order to grab business, and fights are frequent, but relatively speaking, these fights are just small fights, and they are not too much of a trip.
If there were really murders all day long, the government would have intervened, and it would not be a few days before the place would be cleaned up. Gao Zijian came to the red light street in the afternoon, and the red light street was still relatively quiet at this time, and there were several online and chess and card clubs outside the business, and the other places were closed.
Qian Li's new nightclub is in this place, Qian Li is the same as a jackal, he is a person who got rich in the first few batches after the reform and opening up, but Qian Li was born in the sixties, a few years younger than the jackal.
In fact, Qian Li started as a scrap iron business, and there was such a saying in Fuyang City at that time, called 'oil tiger, coal boss, scrap iron is a tyrant.' Fuyang City is a coal city, which is one of the few in the country, and it is also an oil city, where there are several large oil mills, and the annual output value is among the best in the country.
At that time, the people who were engaged in the coal mining business should have changed their names to call them coal bosses, and at that time they were called coal dumpers, but at that time, they were not like now, and now almost all coal mines are under the name of the state, and individuals are not allowed to mine anymore.
But at that time, the coal mines in Fuyang City were basically contracted by individuals, and the reform and opening up had just begun, China began to implement the policy of opening up to the outside world, and the reform of national ownership was officially opened, which was the time to promote China's economy.
As long as you have the strength, courage, and courage, you can do it, at that time, the competition in the coal mine was very fierce, if you were the boss of the mine at that time, you must have people to protect the mine, if you have few people to protect the mine, you can't do it.
Because the two sides often fight for business, and some even use guns, which is not false at all, it is all true, with a shotgun, or a homemade pistol, it is dry, and many people are also because of the seriousness of the violence, and they can't bear it and finally push out this circle.
Although the coal dumping makes a lot of money, but I am afraid that you have money to make and have no life to spend, this business will be very dangerous there, I don't know when it will be targeted, if you offend more people, maybe one day people will do it, this life is whining, no matter how much money you have, it will be in vain.
But as long as the people who stick to it, they basically have hundreds of millions of assets now, which is not an exaggeration, absolutely, whether the coal mining business was then or now, as long as there is enough coal in the mine, it is a profitable business, and the windfall profits in the windfall profits.
But after all, it was a minority of the few, and only a few people stood up, and the others were not worth mentioning, so there were few coal bosses in Fuyang City at that time, and these were all recognized as the richest people, and the title of coal boss came from this.
Besides, there are not many people in Fuyang City who do oil business, not because of anything else, but because this business requires a lot of networks.
But it's not okay to do this, oil is state-owned property, even if it has just been reformed and opened up, and the current oil sector is not privately owned, it is all state, so if you don't have the relationship between the upper leaders, you don't even think about it.
As for how the industry operated at that time, it was a very private matter, and few people could understand the whole thing, and they only knew a rough idea, after all, there were too many social relations involved here.
But one thing is certain, the oil business is very, very profitable, not much worse than coal mines, and it is more than enough to earn 18 million a year.
