Chapter 178: Becoming the Chicken That Beats Others
After breaking up with Zhao Jie, he slipped down the street until the evening, returned to the rental house, and chatted with Ah Zhi during dinner.
"I found a strange phenomenon, when the uncles and aunts outside were chatting, they described the Kowloon Walled City as a city of sin, and they all hated it, and swore that they would not think about coming out if they entered.
But why, although everyone in the city is having a hard time, I feel that everyone gets along more harmoniously, and the members of the community do not bully the people in the walled city."
For more than a month, Li Guocheng has become more and more confused. As an outsider, he was not bullied, thinking that it was Brother Hua's deterrent, but now he finds that it is not like this at all.
"I was born here, and my friends think it's safe here, but it doesn't feel safe to go outside.
Everyone in the neighborhood and neighborhood knows each other, and the relationship is quite harmonious. Outsiders are usually told not to make trouble, otherwise he will not want to escape from the walled city, and the inhabitants of the walled city will work together to arrest him.
There are village elders associations in the walled city, and some small disputes will be resolved by Wanglao. If it's a big deal, it can be solved by a general meeting.
Most people don't leave the city all year round, there are many factories inside, and everyone works in it, although it is hard, but it can also support the family."
Li Guocheng suddenly realized that a small society had been formed here, and the associations and residents were dependent on each other and united with the outside world. The community protects the weak inside, and the city provides labor and "fresh blood" for the community.
"Don't worry, I will cover you in the future, and no one will dare to touch you in the walled city. You see, I'm also working hard, don't you mean it" said Ah Zhi rubbed his two little fingers.
Li Guocheng looked at her with disdain and did not speak.
"Hey! What kind of eyes are you! If I hadn't covered you, the big would have already attacked you."
Big Tong is said to be a "straw sandal" of the Chaozhou Gang, the superior of Sijiuzai, less than 30 years old, with a strong body, and it is said that he is very capable of fighting. The man is a well-known double-flower red stick in the gang. He was shot in a club fight.
Big Tong also has a few loyal horses, and after the man died, he has been managing a noodle black workshop in the walled city, and his life is okay. For some reason, he put forward a request to let Li Guocheng join the gang.
After being rejected by Li Guocheng, he didn't use force, but sometimes met by chance on the road and deliberately found some topics to talk about. Li Guocheng was also helpless, and the other party didn't do anything, so he had to deal with it.
One day I found a rental house, but I was turned away by Ah Zhi, so I have a cover for you.
After dinner, back in his room, Li Guocheng was a little depressed, thinking that the country would prepare a large amount of money for him and help recruit some reliable talents.
But today's meeting, these are basically not mentioned, and it seems that there is no internal consensus, maybe they think that the current technology is enough.
If this is the case, then Li Guocheng must consider setting up his own laboratory to train the team. Because he knows that the beginning of the 70s was a period of rapid development of computers, and it was also the beginning of the comprehensive backwardness of China in later generations.
Technology needs to evolve, but it also needs to be protected. Taking into account the domestic economic situation, the development of precision strike weapons is the most economical, and it is sufficient to have a certain number of them to play a deterrent role.
Otherwise, Li Guocheng had no choice, and he didn't dare to get involved too deeply. However, more research can be put into the flight control aspect. Inertial navigation is a good project.
Thinking of this, Li Guocheng revised his future activity trajectory, and then changed to go to the library every afternoon. He knows that in order to develop the economy, the British government in Hong Kong is now increasing its investment in basic education year by year.
Now Ah Zhi is studying in a church middle school, and the tuition fee is very small, so she can live and go to school on rent all the time.
At present, Li Guocheng has not found a business opportunity, and has been inspecting related industries in Xiangjiang for several months. It was found that the technical content was too low, the added value of the technology was lower, and the payback time was too long, which was not worth his intervention.
One day, while reading the newspaper, Li Guocheng found that the financial community was discussing the way out of the Bretton Woods system. This news made Li Guocheng feel palpitations. Suddenly remembered that with the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, gold was demonetized, and the price of gold fell sharply.
It seems to have started in the 70s. Frightened Li Guocheng, he converted all the gold bars into US dollars in several banks.
A total of 32,000 US dollars were exchanged, totaling about 250,000 Hong Kong dollars.
It's early November.
In a bar on Shanghai Street, several community members gathered together, and a little yellow hair drank the beer in his hand and said: "That decrepit boy who plays carving on Shanghai Street can make money, and the 50 yuan per month is too little, do you want to make a hand?" ”
"Brother Hua's face still has to be given," said an older member of the club.
"Brother Hua is now helping Chaozhou help take care of the shed, and some bigwigs in the club have long been dissatisfied, so they just used that decrepit boy to beat him." , Huang Mao continued.
"Hmm!" Everyone looked up at Huang Mao with strange eyes.
Huang Mao pretended not to know, "I know a few big circles, I just came to Shanghai Street, I can let them do it."
"Don't have a problem, you can do it. Drink, drink".
Huang Mao saw that he didn't get everyone's support, and he was secretly ruthless in his heart, but he was helpless.
One night, when Li Guocheng came out of the library, he sensed that someone was following him.
The opponent is a veteran, following 100 meters away, and also playing a substitution trick in the middle. But everything about them did not depart from Li Guocheng's perception.
Li Guocheng deliberately walked into a remote alley, and walked a few dozen meters before entering the walled city.
The three of them quickly followed, and Li Guocheng stopped and waited for them.
"Brother, I see that you can make money, give my brother a few flowers", a young man played with knife flowers and said casually.
The other two watched warily at the movement before and after.
Li Guocheng could tell from their clothes and voices that they were gangsters from the north. was too lazy to entangle, and before the other party could react, the three big fights knocked them to the ground.
Then he ignored them anymore, and ignored the few people who were watching from afar, and returned directly to the walled city, and informed Brother Hua of today's situation. Brother Hua only said one sentence: He knows about this.
After Li Guocheng left, Huang Mao came to the front of the three people who fell to the ground with two new faces, and they were all scared when they saw their swollen cheeks like steamed buns.
"Looking at Wen Xuan, I didn't expect it to be so violent," a younger brother said timidly.
Xiao Huangmao was also entangled in his heart, and secretly thought: "I lost it, these big circles are very capable of fighting, and the eldest brother has thought about taking them under his command." I didn't expect it, I won't care about this anymore in the future."
A few days later, Brother Hua found Li Guocheng, "This matter has nothing to do with you, it won't happen again in the future."
After Li Guocheng knew that it was not his business, he didn't pay attention to it anymore. All his energy now is thinking about how to make money quickly and legally, and there is also technical research.
He knew the consequences of the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption a few years later, and the four major Chinese detectives fled abroad after finding out the news. A large number of people were implicated.
