Chapter 111: Boiled Frogs in Warm Water

Three months later, Ah Biao became the Biao brother in the mouth of a group of second-hand hooligans. At the same time, the 2,000 yuan that Brother Biao brought from home to sell cattle has been spent.

Brother Biao still goes to the dry goods stalls and snack stalls in the vegetable market to try them, of course, after three months of hard work, he is no longer alone, and usually follows one or two hungry younger brothers.

One person can only eat in front of the boss's interview, and more than two people can carry the boss behind their backs.

It is usually Brother Biao who blocks the boss's view with his body and attracts the boss's attention with nonsense. While throwing dried radish into his mouth, he told the boss in a serious tone:

"Dried radishes have to be sun-dried, otherwise it will be easy to mold when the weather is cloudy."

The boss nodded his head and complained that the weather was not beautiful, and it was always raining and not sunny. The younger brother behind Brother Biao quickly put peanuts, or red dates, rock sugar, and salted fish into his pockets with both hands.

After walking around like this for a while, all the pockets of the little brother were full. Back in Brother Biao's rental house, a few people sat down, washed rock sugar with boiled water, and toasted with peanuts and red dates. When he was in a hurry, he took a bite of the salted fish, frowned and swallowed it.

Then pull the eggs for half a day, but it is also fun.

It can be seen how difficult it was at the beginning of Brother Biao's business. This is definitely not an intentional exaggeration by the author. You know, it was the late 90s of the last century, and the streets were full of laid-off workers.

The start-up environment at that time was not very good.

An entrepreneur of the same era as Brother Biao, Ma Huateng is asking people to buy QQ everywhere, and no one is willing to take over; Jack Ma speaks about financing everywhere, but he is always treated as a liar. And Liu Qiangdong also set up a stall in Zhongguancun, Beijing to sell electronic devices.

Brother Biao took his younger brother and first stole food. After a while, Biao Ge expanded his business and began to steal money and valuables.

Generally speaking, Brother Biao went to step on the point first, to see which one was more generous, and it was not difficult to get in and out, so he went home and gathered the younger brothers to plan:

"Shar-Pei, you're small-boned, get into the dog's hole."

"Little steel cannon, you are outside the door to answer the wind. Something, snap your fingers. Didn't your two fingers fight loudly when you dance? ”

Finally, Brother Biao did not forget to explain:

"If someone bumps into or catches something, you have to throw it away. Because to catch a thief and catch stolen goods, there is no evidence without stolen goods. At most, you will be beaten and you won't be able to get into the cell, understand? ”

This experience was probably brought back from Quanzhou by Brother Biao.

So the action began. Because Brother Biao's vision is accurate and the planning is relatively perfect, almost every action has more or less gains. Cameras, watches, jewelry, and cash.

After having some money, Brother Biao first changed to a rental house. Two bedrooms and one living room, with kitchen and bathroom. Finally got rid of the trouble of peeing only across the door from my aunt.

Moreover, because of the kitchen, there is no need to reeat the things that are brought back from the vegetable market. The range of things that can be smoothed in the vegetable market is also wider, not only limited to dry goods and snacks, but almost everything, as long as there is an opportunity, you can move it to your home.

Once, a straw bale touched an egg and put it in his trouser pocket, but when he came out, it was crowded and the egg was squeezed. Egg whites and yolks spread around the crotch. When others saw it, they were all amazed:

"This kid is also the first person in ancient and modern times, right? In broad daylight, he actually left the best on the street? ”

Then there was the burst of laughter. If you can't steal eggs, you can make passers-by happy, and it is also a great merit.

At this time, the geographical scope of hand-in-hand sheep is no longer limited to the vegetable market, but extends to the suburbs. Chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs. Once, a ruthless guy brought back a piglet that was eating under the sow. When Brother Biao saw it, he praised it:

"Okay, good, good, roast suckling pig tonight."

Since then, Brother Biao's rental house is often filled with the smell of meat in the middle of the night. This is also evident in the high quality of life.

Later, the number of younger brothers gradually increased, and petty theft alone could not meet the demand. Fortunately, if you are in the streets, you only need to have a large number of people to expand your business.

So began to rob openly.

Biao Ge continues to step on the development of new business. The streets and alleys of the whole city have been analyzed, where are the dark alleys, where are the dead ends, where are the best places to intercept, where are the best places to escape. It only took half a month for Brother Biao to know everything.

No one walked in the dark alley, so I had to go in, and I was cautious; As for the dead end, it is suitable for intercepting outsiders who are not familiar with the terrain, but the biggest disadvantage is that it is not conducive to the retreat of their own side.

For robbery, it is necessary to choose a place where both ends are unobstructed and the flow of people is not large, and it is best not to enter a motor vehicle.

This is the business point summarized by Brother Biao.

Later, for a period of time, almost every day, there were always one or two unlucky ghosts, in order to take a shortcut, planted headlong into a small alley with smooth ends at both ends, and were caught by two people in the front and back, a total of four people, pasted on the wall, and put forward non-point requirements:

"Brother, the rivers and lakes are in emergency, borrow us 811 yuan. After this hurdle, brothers will never forget your great kindness. ”

At first, the robbed person was a little confused, and then laughed, and responded:

"Is the money borrowed like this? I don't know you. ”

The four of them should remember Brother Biao's teachings and first explain the truth:

"Brother, you have to keep up with the times. In today's world, money doesn't have to be known to be borrowed. You look at the borrowers and borrowers in the bank, who knows whom? ”

The robbers are still laughing:

"What a mess, if you don't let it go, I'll call someone."

Among the four, one of them took out a blade the size of a fingernail, which Brother Biao usually used to shave, pinched his fingers, put it on the wrist of the unlucky ghost, and said gloomily:

"If you press the blade down like that, your artery will break. Estimate, is the blood on your body enough to flow out of this alley? ”

The robbed person came to his senses completely this time, and when he met the gang of the robbery, he quickly took out his wallet, stuffed it into the other party's hand with the gross ticket, and stammered:

"I'm, that's all I have. Take it, take it. No, you don't have to pay it back. ”

The four of them searched him again before returning the empty wallet and the ID card inside to him and walked away.

Some people have reported to the police, but because the amount of money involved is not large, hundreds to thousands of yuan, and the characteristics of the perpetrators cannot be explained back and forth, so after the case is filed, the police do not have more energy to investigate.

So Brother Biao and his subordinates have been safe and sound. But Brother Biao is a shrewd man, and he saw this risk prematurely, and after half a year, they automatically and spontaneously terminated the business.

One day, Brother Biao called a meeting with his brothers to discuss the next business direction. Brother Biao spoke first:

"It can't go on like this. Otherwise, not only will you be looked down upon, but you will also go into the bureau if you don't get it right. In the past, it was because I was poor and forced by life, and it was understandable to go astray. But from now on, we're going to get down to business. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded. There was a straw bale that had the courage to ask:

"Brother Biao, we are just a bunch of hooligans, what serious things can we do?"

Brother Biao was holding up the cup and drinking, and when he saw that this person was very unqualified, he put down the cup and said angrily:

"Stuff your mother, if you have this kind of thought, it's a sign of no interest."

After drinking the wine in the cup and putting down the glass, Brother Biao arranged the next step to everyone:

"Tomorrow, look at my eyes and listen to my commands. It is not allowed to act recklessly, let alone make assertions. ”

The next day, Brother Biao took his two brothers, one left and one right, into a restaurant on the street to eat. Each person ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles and a poached egg, but this time they didn't drink bad wine.

After eating, the two straw bale brothers ran away if they wanted to pull their legs, but Brother Biao grabbed them and glared at them, ordering:

"Want to eat a bully meal? We are good citizens. Pay. ”

The two looked at Brother Biao's pretending face, scolding thousands of words in their hearts, but their hands involuntarily took out money on their bodies. The two of them also rushed to pay Brother Biao's share.

After paying the money, Brother Biao sorted out the expression on his face and chatted with the boss with a smile:

"Boss, your business is good, isn't it?"

The boss replied absentmindedly:

"So be it. Barely eating. ”

Brother Biao no longer detours, straight to the point:

"Boss, I'll take my brothers to help you solicit customers, and you give us a commission every month."

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then replied angrily:

"My store is small, and I don't recruit salesmen."

Brother Biao smiled again:

"Boss, don't be so unkind. The so-called Jianghu family, I have so many brothers, if everyone has nothing to eat, it will be difficult for me, the eldest brother, to do it. ”

This time, the boss heard something and knew in his heart that he had met a hooligan, but he was still full of confidence:

"Brother, I'm in a legitimate business. If you come to dinner, I'll welcome you with both hands. If you want to make trouble, I'll call the police immediately. ”

Brother Biao sighed, stopped answering, and got up to leave.

The next morning, it was the same restaurant, and a group of customers came one after another, as many as a dozen or so, all young people in their teens and twenties, blue and blue, and dressed in fancy clothes.

They all came in pretending to be deep and did not speak, nor did they gather together, but two people at one table, and all six tables were occupied.

The boss was very happy at first, thinking that God had blessed him today, and suddenly brought him so many guests to eat. greeted with a smile on his face:

"Ladies and gentlemen, what should you eat? The braised dog meat in our store is a must-have in town, do you want to have a plate? ”

As a result, everyone only needed a glass of boiled water, and then one of them took out a newspaper and read it word by word until dusk. Someone was hungry halfway, so he took out a few sweet potatoes and nibbled on the table with boiled water.

And the real foodie in the town, when he shook the door of the restaurant and saw that the table was full, turned around and looked for the next one. As a result, the restaurant did not do any business for a whole day.

On the third day, it was still these people, still such a glass of boiled water, sitting all day, not ordering food, not talking.

On the fourth day, it was business as usual. The boss had no choice but to call the police, but when the police came, they didn't make trouble, not even anyone who spoke loudly. complained a few words that the boss didn't understand the law, and that he was legally responsible for reporting false police, so he didn't make an example, and then turned around and left.

On the fifth day, the boss cried, nodded and begged the young people:

"Let your boss come, I'll give him a commission on the business. Can you go sit elsewhere? ”

On the fifth day, Brother Biao reappeared in the restaurant with a smile, ate a bowl of rice noodles, paid the money, and politely accepted the business commission prepared by the boss for this month. Before leaving, he held the boss's hand and shook it vigorously, almost grateful:

"Happy to work together, happy to work together; The coming day is long, and the coming day is long. ”
