Chapter I
Shenzhen, with its high-rise buildings and busy traffic, is prosperous.
Longhua Sanhe Labor Market, the crowd is bustling, even under the shade of the trees outside, the side of the shops, are crowded with people.
This is the Shenzhen Industrial Zone, where factories are gathered, the labor demand is strong, and it is a paradise for job hunting, so a large number of floating people are gathered around.
A group of young people wander here all year round, and for various reasons, they do not want to return home. They are familiar with the online culture, have been hit, and have lost hope in life. When you have money, you go online, sleep, and if you don't have money, you go to work on a daily basis. Being able to play for one day and playing for three days is their greatest pursuit - this is the "Sanhe God" who has become popular on the Internet.
Pei Jinguang is also a senior "Sanhe God". I played all night in an internet café last night, and now I am so lightheaded that I can even walk. There are only two dollars and five cents left in the pocket. He came to Sanhe Labor Market, planning to find a day to do it, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to afford to eat a bowl of Shuangfeng noodles for three yuan tomorrow, and he could only live in the "Hisense Hotel" at night, and he would really have to "hang on the wall" at that time.
"Recruitment, recruitment, easy work, get money at the point," shouted a middle-aged man with "Mediterranean" hair who got out of a van, shaking the sign in his hand. Immediately surrounded by the crowd, when I heard that it was the heavy work of packing boxes, I immediately walked more than halfway.
Pei Jinguang wanted to do it, but he was afraid that he would not be able to bear it. "Forget it, let's go find an easier job!" He thought.
The so-called easy work is to distribute flyers for people, open a market for real estate developers, queue up for bubble tea shops to gain popularity, and so on. Not only is it easy and the time is short, but sometimes you can eat and drink, which is very favored by the "Sanhe God".
Pei Jinguang went around the labor market a few times, but he didn't find a suitable day, and was about to leave. Suddenly, a van pulled up next to him, the windows were pitch black, and he couldn't see inside the car.
Shaoqing, a woman who got down from the co-pilot, walked up to Pei Jinguang, looked at him carefully, nodded, and then whispered to him: "Pretty boy, the milk tea shop is open, queue up to do the tray, one hundred and fifteen days, get paid after work at six o'clock, eat milk tea desserts as you like, go to the poo?" ”
Pei Jinguang saw that it was a well-paid and easy day, so he nodded and agreed. The woman quickly opened the rear door of the van, pushed Pei Jinguang into the car, and then got into the co-pilot. The car started immediately and disappeared into the vast traffic in an instant.
The light in the car was dim, Pei Jinguang had just gotten into the car under the sun, and he couldn't see the situation in the car at all, he only felt that there were still people in the car, and he should be doing the same as him, so he didn't think much about it. It took a while for his eyes to get used to it, and then he saw a big man wearing sunglasses sitting on his left and right sides.
Seeing this scene, Pei Jinguang was shocked in his heart, could it be that he was kidnapped? As soon as he wanted to stand up and get out of the car, the two big men on the left and right immediately squeezed over tightly, making him unable to move. He couldn't escape, so he had to pretend to be casual and sit quietly.
What is the purpose of kidnapping him? Pei Jinguang thought to himself, for money? He has only two pieces of five on himself; Seeking revenge? He had never offended anyone...... He couldn't think of a reasonable reason for breaking his brain, so he simply didn't think about it.
There were a total of five people in the car: the driver, the woman who tricked Pei Jinguang into getting into the car, the two big men and Pei Jinguang himself. The five men didn't make a sound, and the car was eerily quiet.
The car was driving fast. About ten minutes later, the woman in the co-pilot pushed her mouth back, and the two big men immediately cut Pei Jinguang's hands behind her back, tied them with ropes, and then took out a black blindfold and covered Pei Jinguang's eyes, Pei Jinguang's eyes were suddenly dark, and he couldn't see anything. He didn't resist, and he knew that this senseless rebellion would do nothing but bring him some physical pain. There is nothing important except death, not to mention that he is now mixed up in this field, even if he dies, there is no regret.
After about an hour, the sound of the car engine was heard, and the car began to climb continuously, and after a period of seven bends and eight turns, the car finally stopped.
Someone opened the car door, and the two big men picked up Pei Jinguang and left. After going up a long staircase, it was as if I had arrived in a large, empty house. The high-heeled heels of the woman leading the way in front of her made a crisp sound on the smooth marble floor.
"I'm back, Sister Lan," said one man, "and the boss is waiting for you down there." ”
"Okay." It was the voice of the who replied.
After walking for a while, Pei Jinguang felt like he was being taken into the elevator. Later, the elevator went down, and for about ten seconds, the elevator stopped, and Pei Jinguang was carried out again.
After walking for a while, everyone stopped, only to hear Sister Lan say respectfully: "Boss, someone brought it." ”
"Bring it in." A beautiful baritone answered.
The door opened, Pei Jinguang was ushered into the room, and then someone untied the rope in his hand and helped him take off the blindfold. After a while, the beautiful baritone sounded again: "Very good, very good." Yes, it's very similar. You've worked hard, go down first. ”
"Yes!" Sister Lan answered and led the two big men to retreat.
Pei Jinguang, who had just taken off his blindfold, was dazzled by the bright light, and it took a while to see the surroundings clearly.
It is a large office with luxurious decoration and all kinds of office supplies. Across the desk sat a man in his fifties, with thick hair, gold-rimmed glasses, a short black beard on his upper lip, a crisp suit and a red and white tie, exuding an elegant temperament. Next to him stood a graceful young female secretary, and behind him stood two tall bodyguards with full faces.
Seeing that Pei Jinguang was looking at him, the elegant middle-aged man immediately stood up, walked over with a smile, stretched out his hands, shook Pei Jinguang's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Mr. Pei, welcome, welcome!" ”
The female secretary beside him lost no time in introducing Pei Jinguang: "Mr. Pei, this is our boss Mr. Zhou Zhirou. ”
Pei Jinguang was shocked, they even knew my name, it seemed that it was premeditated. He was scared and suspicious. But now that he has become someone else's prey, it's useless to be afraid, it's better to listen to the other party talk about the purpose of kidnapping him here. It is the so-called head extension is a knife, and the head shrinkage is also a knife. At this point, he had to pretend to be calm and stretched out his hands to meet him, and said in a gentle manner: "Hello Mr. Zhou! Mr. Zhou took great pains to invite me to your place, but I don't know what to see? ”
"Mr. Pei is really a cheerful person, it seems that I, Zhou, have found the right person." Zhou Zhirou laughed, and then said, "I have a big business, I want to cooperate with Mr. Pei, let's take what we need, how about win-win cooperation?" ”
Pei Jinguang knew that it was never a normal and legal business, so he tentatively asked: "Then what if I don't want to cooperate?" ”
As soon as Pei Jinguang's words fell, a tall guy with a thick beard and a tall face and a thick beard walked over behind him with a fist the size of a sea bowl. He is Zhou Zhirou's Minister of Security Zhang Xiaoming, don't look at him rude, but he is very meticulous in doing things, he is very good at figuring out Zhou Zhirou's thoughts, and he is deeply respected by Zhou Zhirou. He saw that Pei Jinguang dared to talk to his boss like this, and decided to give him some color. He pinched his finger bones so crackling that he said viciously to Pei Jinguang: "If you don't want to cooperate, it doesn't matter, I can make millions by dismembering you and selling human organs." As he spoke, he was about to make a move to Pei Jinguang. Zhou Zhirou waved his hand, and Zhang Xiao retreated knowingly.
Zhou Zhirou smiled at Pei Jinguang and said, "Just kidding, just kidding, don't worry about Mr. Pei." How can we, a just and civilized society under the rule of law, do such a cruel and inhumane thing! However, then again, we took great pains to invite you, Mr. Pei Jinguang Pei, not for dinner, if you know each other, please cooperate with us! He laughed again.
Pei Jinguang knew that he had become a fish on someone else's chopping board, it was useless to be afraid and beg for mercy, and he would be despised by them, so it was better to improvise and see what the other party's purpose was. So he laughed and said, "Good, good! Mr. Zhou, I wish us a happy cooperation! But the reluctant laughter was mixed with a tremor of fear.
Zhou Zhirou applauded and smiled: "Mr. Pei, you are really a person who understands current affairs, you are much more pragmatic than I imagined, since Mr. Pei agreed to cooperate with us, then we are friends." Come, let's sit down and have a long talk. ”
Zhou Zhirou asked Pei Jinguang to sit down opposite him, and then said: "Since we have cooperated, we must trust each other and be honest with each other. Now I'll tell you straight: on the surface, we operate Guiyuan Villa integrating entertainment, leisure, food, and fitness on this suburban mountain, but in fact it is a well-organized underworld group. With the advancement of science and technology, the police equipment is becoming more and more advanced, and the detection rate is getting higher and higher, it is difficult for us to survive by relying on traditional methods such as kidnapping and robbery, and we must keep pace with the times and rely on intelligent technology to expand our new business. As far as we know, Mr. Pei once worked in a small Internet company like Yama, and later Yama laid off Mr. Pei, and he has not found a suitable job until now, it seems that Mr. Pei is not doing well now! ”
Yama is a small Internet company that survives by outsourcing from some large companies. Pei Jinguang has been a programmer for several years, and two years ago due to the company's recession, and he was older, more than 35 years old, and was laid off by the company. Later, he couldn't find a satisfactory job, and because of family reasons, he became a god of Sanhe. Now Zhou Zhirou brought up his darkest side, which made him a little ashamed.
After being silent for a moment, Zhou Zhirou asked again: "Mr. Pei, you should have heard of Viva Company and its chairman Chen Zhifeng!" ”
"Viva is a giant in the Internet industry, a well-known enterprise with an annual marketing of hundreds of billions, who doesn't know? As for the founder of Viva, Chen Zhifeng is a legend in the industry and an entrepreneurial genius! Pei Jinguang replied.
When Pei Jinguang was working in Yama, his colleagues talked about Viva and its chairman Chen Zhifeng whenever they had time, and everyone was envious, jealous and hateful. Colleagues said that Pei Jinguang looked very much like Chen Zhifeng, and he also jokingly told everyone that it was not that he looked like Chen Zhifeng, but that Chen Zhifeng looked like his father! Everyone burst into laughter.
"Okay, it's good to know!" Zhou Zhirou took over the topic and said, "Mr. Pei, if I have a way to send you to the throne of Chairman Weiva, do you have the ability to do a good job?" ”
Pei Jinguang stared at the other party in surprise, thinking that he was talking in his sleep. You must know that Viva is a benchmark in the Internet industry, and even college graduates such as "985" and "211" are proud to be able to work in Viva. He, Pei Jinguang, would be satisfied if he could be a department head in a small company like Yama in his life. He doesn't even dare to think about being the chairman of Via.
Zhou Zhirou saw Pei Jinguang's face full of disbelief, and hurriedly smiled and said to him: "I know you are wondering if I am mentally ill, but let me talk to you about the specific cooperation plan between us." As you know, Viva is now a giant of domestic Internet technology companies, which is irreplaceable in some aspects and is in a dominant position. Last year, Viva's annual revenue was more than 100 billion yuan, and the net profit was tens of billions, and the company has broad prospects and an unlimited future. Domestic and foreign capital predators, investment companies and Viva's counterparts are all salivating over Viva and want to gradually control Viva through capital operation or equity participation or purchase. Chen Zhifeng, chairman of Weiya, and his family also knew that these capital predators, investment companies and peers were eyeing Weiya and had bad intentions, so they decided that Weiya would not be listed, not sold, and not offered shares, so as to firmly control Weiya in the hands of the family. Everyone saw that the Chen Zhifeng family had made Viva Company leakless and had nowhere to start, so they had no choice but to give up this piece of fat. However, they gave up, I didn't give up in Guiyuan Villa, since the Chen Zhifeng family has made Viva impeccable, then let's change our thinking, start directly from within their family, and take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and replace the company's chairman Chen Zhifeng with our people, then Isn't Viva Company ours? ”
The more Pei Jinguang listened, the more surprised he became, and this whimsical operation? I only heard Zhou Zhirou continue: "Let Via work, we will benefit from Yuan Villa, this is just like the cuckoo bird is unwilling to raise offspring, lays eggs in other birds' nests, and lets other birds help it raise its offspring, so as to get it for nothing." That's why we call this the 'Cuckoo Project'. Now we just want you to be the cuckoo egg that sneaks into another bird's nest! In the future, it was codenamed 'Cuckoo'. As he spoke, he stared at Pei Jinguang to see his reaction.
Pei Jinguang was taken aback when he heard this, only to hear Mr. Zhou continue: "The 'Cuckoo Project' costs a lot of money, and you can only succeed and not fail; if you succeed, you will change from a homeless man to become the chairman of a famous company and a top rich man. But there is one of the most basic conditions, and that is that you must obey our orders absolutely at all times, because we control Via by manipulating you; If you don't obey our commands, it means nothing to us, and we won't hesitate to get rid of you; Of course, as long as you obey our orders, we will not only not harm you, but will do everything in our power to protect you; We have win-win cooperation, each taking what it needs, and not talking about who uses whom. If the Cuckoo Project fails, you, me, and all the people of Guiyuan Villa will be wiped out. However, benefits and risks have always coexisted, and I believe that anyone who is not willing to be mediocre and wants to get ahead, in the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, will face the risk and give it a go! ”
After Pei Jinguang heard this, his heart moved, he was obscene every day, and one day he counterattacked, became a rich man, and lived a life of drunken gold fans and groups of beautiful women, isn't he really looking forward to this opportunity? Since fate has cornered me and given me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn the tables, then I will seize the opportunity to give it a go!
Thinking of this, he stood up and said solemnly, "Okay, I have decided to cooperate with you!" However, I have a few uncertainties to ask Mr. Zhou: 1. Among all living beings, why did you choose me? I know that I am not a very smart and capable person, and I have low self-esteem and cowardice, and I am not good at communicating with people; Second, although Chen Zhifeng and I look alike, we are not in the same class, and the environment and characters we are exposed to are very different, and once we mix into his circle, we will be immediately discovered; 3. My personality, temperament, demeanor, living habits, etc. are different from Chen Zhifeng, and my voice is not like it, once I get close to his family, I will be recognized immediately! ”
"Mr. Pei, we have thought of these problems you mentioned for a long time, and we have already solved them. Our 'Cuckoo Project' has been in action for many years. We've been secretly inspecting you for a long time. Frankly, you're not the only person we're looking for, but you're the one with the best overall conditions. You have many prerequisites that no other candidate can match: you have Chen Zhifeng's similar appearance, the same height, similar weight, and the same blood type. A slight difference in appearance can be compensated for by plastic surgery. And height, stature, blood type, these are rigid requirements that cannot be changed. And you graduated from university, have education, and have the experience of working on the Internet, understand the common sense of the Internet, the market situation, and will not show your feet when you communicate with Chen Zhifeng's peers in the future. Also, you have simple interpersonal relationships, you don't have any close friends, and you and your only relative, your father Pei Mancang, have not been in touch for two years; In other words, if you go missing or die, no one knows about it, no one cares, and no one looks for it or calls the police, which is very important for us and saves us a lot of trouble. As for you saying that you have low self-esteem and are not good at socializing with others, this is not a problem; You know, power and money have always been men's guts, with these two things, what man would have inferiority? Everyone is vying to be friends with you, are you still afraid that you can't communicate and are not sociable? As for the appearance and voice you said are not very similar to Chen Zhifeng, we have already had a solution; Professional things need professional people to do. We have spent a lot of money to bring in two of the world's top plastic surgeons, Mr. Park and Mr. Philippe, from Korea and France. Mr. Park is good at face plastic surgery, Philip is good at voice plastic surgery, and they will tailor you to Chen Zhifeng; Regarding the third point you mentioned, we have a professional training department, and they will train your expression, temperament, temperament, living habits, etc. according to Chen Zhifeng's template. I have a lot of confidence in our team of professionals! ”
After speaking, Zhou Zhirou stood up and led them out of the office to a conference room.
In the conference room, more than 20 people, old and young, men and women, sat around a long oval table. They were discussing something important, and when they saw Zhou Zhirou bringing Pei Jinguang in, everyone immediately stopped discussing and stared at Pei Jinguang for a while, and then they started talking again.
