Brother Biao sold his family's cattle and went to Fenglin Town alone to explore the rivers and lakes in the late nineties of the last century. And Brother Biao completely gave up taking sheep in the vegetable market, giving up stealing chickens and dogs everywhere, and even giving up robbing on the streets, which is a few years later.

The time came to the beginning of the twenty-first century.

At this time, Brother Biao already has a considerable scale in his career. There were more than 30 brothers under him, and later the famous Shar Pei and Little Steel Cannon first-class figures also worshiped him one after another.

Brother Biao's first civilized method of collecting money from small street bosses was later called "boiled frog". This method quickly spread, and the business of Biao Ge and his brothers grew by leaps and bounds, conquering several streets in just a few months.

These businesses are sustainable and risk-free. With his ingenuity, Brother Biao fundamentally solved the problem of the brothers having their last meal and not having the next meal.

At this time, the rivers and lakes of Fenglin Town were still scattered, and except for the area around South Street, other places did not form a unified situation. There are many hills, and almost every street has someone who calls himself the boss.

There are often people with cigarettes in their mouths, followed by two strange-shaped younger brothers, who are rampage through the streets. If something goes wrong, he will open his teeth and claws, and shout to the sky. When the good people saw it, they were like tigers.

Brother Biao is just one of many street bosses. It's just that the scale and momentum are slightly larger.

In other words, Brother Biao's invention of the "boiled frog" method was actually ridiculed by other bosses at the beginning, thinking that the people in the rivers and lakes were either injured or bloody, how could they be like a group of women, rolling around and splashing around?

Gradually, however, the other bosses began to see the power of this method.

First of all, the effect is so remarkable that the street vendors all surrender. Although there are complaints, there is nowhere to vent, calling every day should not be, shouting that the earth is not working.

The second is that you don't need to put in too much work, you don't need to pretend to be cool, you can collect money safely, and you don't even have to worry about the police coming.

So everyone finally came to their senses and had to use their brains to do business, even if it was a street hooliganism. It's not too late to make amends, and all of them are painted according to the gourd, and they are soaked in the same way.

Since then, the street vendors have complained, and the income of the hooligans has increased dramatically, but the level of civilization in the city has increased dramatically.

There are fewer fights, there are fewer scoldings, and the little hooligans see each other, either pretending to be deep or smiling.

The familiar asked the other party how much money he received this month, whether it went well, and whether he had encountered a stubborn trader.

If they are not familiar with it, they each boast that the boss they are with is simply a dragon and phoenix among people, brave and unparalleled, plus superior resourcefulness, and even the second wife has three of them.

In other words, Brother Biao was a little annoyed when he saw that the method he had come up with with a lot of brains was copied by others, and he was robbing his own business.

One night when the brothers were having dinner, Brother Biao held a wine glass, his eyes squinted forty-five degrees, and complained to the wall:

"Stuff your mother, these uneducated grandsons, don't respect other people's intellectual property rights at all."

The younger brothers are usually used to listening to Brother Biao's stories, although they are distant and illusory, but they can still understand it to some extent, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, they can even taste it with relish.

But the four words "intellectual property" are Martian for them, and they don't know what to say at all, so they have to learn Brother Biao's posture to hold a wine glass, dumbfounded.

Brother Biao doesn't actually understand what "intellectual property" is.

When he was only in Quanzhou, he happened to be in the upper side of the park, and heard a guy in the pit next door calling, the accent was local, the voice was like a broken gong, and in addition to all kinds of scolding methods, only the words "intellectual property" could still be heard clearly.

Brother Biao's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he knew that this was a new name, and immediately remembered it, hiding it in his heart for several years, but he didn't find a place to use it.

This time in anger, Brother Biao finally turned out the fresh word in his heart.

Even if he has a bit of talent in language, it can't be said that he has a bull's head and a horse's mouth. It's just that I've found the wrong audience. Literate little rascals, after all, are still a minority; Those who can understand the meaning of the word "intellectual property" are even rarer.

Brother Biao saw that no one understood his heart, so he felt a sense of loneliness for no reason.

It was from this moment on, Brother Biao didn't know which nerve was wrong, his mind jumped from this string to that string for no reason, and suddenly changed the topic, and said to Sha Pei and Xiao Gang Cannon who were sitting on the left and right:

"The more you drink, the more confused you become; The more you drink tea, the more sober you become. ”

Shapi and Little Steel Cannon have been following Brother Biao for a long time, and they have almost become accustomed to his pretense and profundity, and even more accustomed to his habit of always making sharp turns when he speaks. At this moment, both of them ignored him and beckoned the younger brothers to continue drinking, but they ate their own vegetables.

The two plates of dog meat were divided by the two of them by three times and five by two, and they were sandwiched. Brother Biao doesn't eat vegetables or drink, puts down his chopsticks and wine glass, and continues to publish his lofty opinions:

"The wine table is only suitable for bragging; The tea table is suitable for business talks. ”

He poked Shar Pei with his fingers:

"I said, do you understand this?"

Shar Pei was a little confused and annoyed, of course he didn't understand this truth. Moreover, when he is drinking and eating, he does not like to be interrupted by others. At this time, he said in a rough voice:

"I haven't eaten yet, what's the point?"

Brother Biao felt lonely again. So I also know that this group of people under my command has no reason to talk about except eating and drinking, and they still have to rely on themselves to achieve great things.

The next day, Brother Biao quit drinking. He bought a high-looking coffee table from the second-hand furniture market, and he found a tea set from nowhere. I bought a few packets of inferior black tea in the supermarket. Set up a position at home and soak on your own.

The younger brothers saw Brother Biao making tea for the first time, thinking that he was nervous. But after two days, I got used to Brother Biao's neurosis again.

Brother Biao is not satisfied with drinking tea at home. He wants to drink at any time and at any time. Because he feels that drinking tea can make people more sober, and he often thinks about major events in the rivers and lakes, and needs a super sober mind.

So, Brother Biao bought a plastic bottle, poured the brewed black tea into it, and hung the bottle around his waist when he went out. Since then, hanging a bottle full of black tea around his waist has become the standard for Brother Biao.

Of course, because the black tea water is poured into a plastic bottle, it looks like urine, and people who don't know the truth think that Brother Biao has a problem with urinating and has to solve the problem at any time. That's for later.

A few more days later, the brothers had dinner again. Gangsters, except for eating and drinking, they have almost nothing to do, and with some money, it is simply unreasonable not to eat or drink.

This time, Brother Biao lectured the younger brothers again, no longer holding a wine glass, but a tea bottle.

He took a sip of tea first, pressed his palm down, and signaled everyone to be quiet. It was only when everyone looked up at him that he slowly spoke of the ambition that had been brewing for several days. It starts like this:

"The general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and for a long time, it must be united."

Everyone was stunned and didn't understand for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to make an uproar, bow his head and continue to eat and drink, but he left Brother Biao at a loss for what to do.

Brother Biao was stunned for a while, and then he realized that there was something wrong with his expression. He spoke too elegantly.

In fact, this is not his originality, and of course it is not from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but when he was in Quanzhou, he listened to an old man sing in a park, and he remembered the lyrics.

Brother Biao took another sip of tea, raised his voice and shouted to his brothers:

"We want to unify this river."

This time, everyone understood. Under the influence of alcohol, everyone's blood is high. All of them clenched their right hands into fists, raised them upward, and shouted slogans in unison:

"Dominate the rivers and lakes. Dominate the rivers and lakes. ”

A bunch of second-class goods drank and drunk, and shouted slogans so uncreatively, directly copying the lines in the TV series "*", when outsiders heard it, they thought that this was the base camp of the Sun and Moon God Cult.

Brother Biao's palm pressed down again. The crowd shouted for a while before their voices slowly subsided. At this time, the little steel cannon whispered in Brother Biao's ear full of worry:

"Brother Biao, these guys haven't fought for a long time, they are handy, and they are timid, and they can only shout slogans in a loud voice. Do you want to find a few honest vendors to practice tomorrow? ”

Brother Biao glanced at him and scolded:

"Stuff your mother, don't think about everything so violently, okay? Is it okay to use some brains to do things? ”

Xiaogang Cannon was originally a piece of advice, but I didn't expect to be scolded, so I felt a little unhappy, thinking, we are just a bunch of hooligans, don't be violent, and unify the rivers and lakes?

Although Xiao Gangcang is a henchman of Brother Biao, he actually doesn't understand Brother Biao's personality very well.

To deal with small traders, Brother Biao used the method of "boiling frogs in warm water", and he also used this method to deal with a plate of loose sand.

Brother Biao is not like other bosses in the rivers and lakes, fighting and killing in order to grab territory, at this point, he completely deviates from the routine in Hong Kong and Taiwan gangster films.

The day after shouting the slogan, Brother Biao sent Shapi and Xiao Gang Cannon to act separately, and invited those hooligans who did not obey him one by one to come over to eat at the same table.

He sat and waited patiently, and when people came, he greeted them with a smile, opened the table in a friendly manner, and after three rounds of wine, he drank tea and told stories to others. The beginning is still like this:

"Brother, I ...... when I was in Quanzhou, Fujian"

and then used his mouth comparable to that of a storyteller to talk about his career in the rivers and lakes outside. Rushing left and right, slashing back and forth, he is the only one in the world who is extremely brave; Eventually, he struck out an organization, or gang.

If it weren't for the death of his mother's illness, he would go home to mourn, and in time, it would not be difficult to kill a Taizu or Taizong.

The authenticity of these details is not important, what matters is this sentence that he said inadvertently:

"Back then, in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, there was a guy who didn't listen to my advice, and both legs were broken, and he is still in bed."

After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, as if he regretted his fierce behavior at the beginning. And the brother who was invited to dinner on the other side, no matter how stupid his brain was, he understood the deep meaning of these words: If you can't get along with Brother Biao again, be careful of your legs.

Brother Biao's story came to an abrupt end. At this time, the wine had been drunk dry, and the meal was almost eaten, and before the end of the scene, Brother Biao patted the brother on the shoulder again, and comforted him earnestly:

"Brother, there is great strength in numbers, and harmony makes money. Let's work together and make money together. If you're not satisfied, I'll give you the boss's place, OK? ”

Everyone can tell that the last sentence is nothing more than a polite remark. After hearing his story, who would dare to really sit in his boss's position?

In this way, Brother Biao used storytelling to pull out many small hills on the street. Most of the hooligans, the territory is still the same territory, and the status is still the same as the original, but they are organized and disciplined under the banner of Brother Biao.

Brother Biao's move, in the words of the Liangshan era, is called Zhao'an; In today's economic terms, it's called acquisition.

Needless to say, Brother Biao has been quite successful in this regard.

Of course, Brother Biao's intimidating story is not a cure-all. There are always a few stubborn guys who have become the biggest obstacle on his way to unification.
