Chapter 12: The Materialist
On a cold winter night, an old-fashioned Santana drove to the city with Qian Haodong, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and the dim street lamps on both sides of the national highway were left behind.
Qian Haodong opened the window of the car, and suddenly the cold wind poured into the car, lit a cigarette, and took a deep puff.
"Don't smoke in my car, boy!"
Qian Haodong flattered: "Don't be uncle! I've been holding it for a day, just take two puffs and two puffs! ”
Chen Sanbao stopped talking. Concentrate on driving your own car.
He took a hard sip, threw the cigarette butt out of the window, and quickly closed the window. Rubbing his hands that were a little frozen by the midnight cold wind, he turned around and smiled: "Hahaha... It's so painful.... It's really relieving! What do you think the kid surnamed Cang has beaten into? ”
Zhou Chong frowned and looked at Qian Haodong's purple face
"Mouse, you're all right!"
"Me? I'm fine! It's been a long time since I've had such a hearty fight! Ha ha... It's just that I can't open my eyes now! ”
"You're genuine! You can't see it yourself, go back and look in the mirror and you'll know, you're about to be beaten into a pig's head, you know? ”
Hearing this, Qian Haodong gently touched the corners of his eyes and inhaled cold air in pain.
"Worms, do you talk like that? You touch your conscience and think about it, Lao Tzu was beaten for the dog? You're talking about it! ”
"Old man, you give a review! No, I'll wait for me to go back, I'll let the brothers go out and check! Look at the details of these grandchildren! It's not over! I've got to get out of my bad breath! ”
"Alright! Almost! I don't think you've suffered much! ”
"That's a good thing you say! If I provoke anyone, I will be pulled out and beaten up! In the final analysis, it's because of you, or you can suffer this sin for no reason? ”
"Yes, yes! You're right! It's all my fault, I'm sorry for you! Okay, right? ”
"That's pretty much it!"
Zhou Chong was a little worried and said: "The two boys with yellow hair and thin man are black enough!" Don't make a mistake with that kid surnamed Cang! ”
"Well deserved! But you're a bad kid too! At first, I really thought you were going to take his stinky money! I didn't expect you to have such a play, don't say it's quite relieving! Ha ha... I want to laugh when I think of the bear when he was beaten! ”
"What the hell is going on with you two? Why did you offend such a rich boy, tell me? ”
Zhou Chong said with a sad face: "I TM know that I have met this kid once!" I don't even know what he's doing! ”
"Don't worry, this is on me, and I'll let the brothers inquire about it for me! You wait for my news! ”
You two don't have to ask, I can tell you!
Qian Haodong asked softly, "Who is this old man?" Where did you get the driver? ”
"It's not the driver, I forgot to introduce you, this is my landlord! Bao Ye should have an impression of this person, I am small! ”
"Uncle! Do you really know the background of this kid surnamed Cang? ”
Chen Sanbao said slowly while driving: "Cang Mingzhe is twenty-five years old this year! The eldest grandson of the Cang's group, his grandfather participated in the modern war, his father left the system and relied on his connections to do transnational trade, and the national real estate fire also made a lot of fun, and he also intervened in real estate, but it is a ticket nature, speculating on land and buying a house, these businesses are not in their company! So after this kid came back from abroad last year, his family handed over these real estate projects to him to take care of. Let him exercise and exercise! ”
Qian Haodong rubbed his head and said, "No wonder this kid is so rich!" Whatever! If he's not convinced, we'll touch it again! Anyway, we're barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes! ”
"Touch your uncle! .... You don't think the hornet's nest is big enough! ”
"Hey! That's right! This sentence makes you right! You've really stabbed a hornet's nest! This kid is afraid that his family will know about these little gangsters on the street! If they let the company take action, I think you two will definitely be able to explain today. ”
"Ahh Really? You don't want to be so scaresome! ”
"Didn't scare you at all! Do you know why real estate development is not a good business for their company? ”
Qian Haodong asked, "Why? ”
"Because the cross-border trade they do is not an ordinary commodity!"
"It's not an ordinary commodity, what is it?"
Chen Sanbao sighed and said, "Let's tell you this!" Their company's imports and exports can affect the political situation in a certain country on a global scale! ”
Zhou Chong said in disbelief: "Bao Ye, what do you mean...... Weapons? ”
Chen Sanbao nodded and said: "It's just one of them, there are many ways to sway or subvert a political system or political group, and weapons are just the most straightforward option, the lowest plan." If you want to destroy or save a political group, there are many more ways to achieve the results you want! These things can't be explained in a sentence or two! ”
"Poof...", Qian Haodong covered his mouth and laughed!
"Worm, your landlord is very funny! .... If he hadn't said something like subverting the political bloc, I would have believed it..... Haha"
Chen Sanbao didn't refute, and still said flatly: "You look out the window... What do you all see? ”
Qian Haodong looked out of the car window suspiciously.
Because it is almost midnight, there are few vehicles on the road, the vehicles have driven out of the suburbs, about to enter the city center, in the night in the city towering buildings in the neon lights outline the outline, the colorful light regularly changes colors, dense buildings of different heights and complexes, at this moment the city seems to become a whole, a dormant life in the earth.
Qian Haodong scratched his head and said puzzledly: "Uncle, what do you want us to see?" Nothing on the big night? ”
Chen Sanbao smiled and didn't speak, still driving quietly.
"Order! It's order! ”
Chen Sanbao glanced back at Zhou Chong and said, "Hmm! You guessed it! It's order! It's just a city, and it's the kind of small city that can't be ranked, and it can't be compared with the huge state apparatus, but they all have one thing in common, that is, order, this kind of invisible thing that affects the current and future development of the city, but have you ever thought about it? How did this power come about? And who is manipulating this order, I'm not talking about a person or a group in the literal sense of the word, I'm talking about a kind of power that is beyond our common sense. ”
Qian Haodong stopped smiling at this time, his expression was solemn, as if he was thinking about something for a while, and he asked, "You mean that we can't see the kind of thing?" ”
"You can say the same thing! But I'm not talking about a specific city, or a country, or even our planet, I'm talking about the plane we're in right now! This space! ”
Zhou Chong said: "I don't understand! ”
Chen Sanbao sighed and said, "It's right if you don't understand!" I don't understand either, and I don't understand either! Maybe someone knows? ”
"Who?"
"God! Or the gods that all kinds of people believe in! ”
Zhou Chong didn't answer, and quietly waited for Chen Sanbao to continue!
After a while, Chen Sanbao said as if talking to himself: "It's a pity! It's a pity that I'm a pure materialist! ”
