Shi Xiteng jumped up from the sofa, half awake from the wine, turned to look at Lin Zhengdao, his face full of annoyance and disbelief, and said: "Really?"
Lin Zhengdao couldn't get off the tiger, and hesitantly said: "Yes... I have saved my life for death, but... but I can still borrow 10,000 yuan from a friend, so I will listen to you and invest in a small stock..."
"Brother-in-law, aren't you kidding me? I was expecting you to lend me some on the way back... Forget it, let's not talk anymore, I'll think of something myself."
Shi Xi didn't sleep either and wandered out the door.
When Shi Yue came back from boiling water, he didn't see Shi Xi. When Lin Baiyao said that he had gone out to borrow money, he was so angry that he threw the basin of water outside, turned around and left, saying: "I don't care, you can do whatever you want."
!”
Lin Zhengdao glared at Lin Baiyao and said, "It's all your talk. Who's left alive?"
"Dad, don't even think about it. If you had the opportunity to invest 10,000 yuan and make hundreds of thousands, would you tell others? Would you be so selfless and lead strangers to make a fortune? There will be no pie in the sky..."
Lin Zhengdao hesitated for a moment and said: "Relatives and friends can still..."
"Is Hu Weikang friends with them?"
"Shi Xi was introduced by his father-in-law's comrades... You don't understand, the relationship between comrades is deeper than that between relatives and friends..."
Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "Hu Weikang is a multi-millionaire. If he really wants to raise funds, will he lack friends to help him? Go to a remote place like Dongjiang to raise funds with people who have never dealt with him?"
"This...maybe people who are rich have a good reputation, but they don't want their friends to know that they are short of money..."
Lin Zhengdao just learned a lesson not long ago for buying football, but once people are tempted by huge benefits, they will be carried away by desire and have no memory at all.
He was just an auditor, but he was so unable to extricate himself. You can imagine how deep Shi Xi, Zheng Yanfang and her father were brainwashed by Hu Weikang in front of them. How deep did they fall?
"Okay, you can figure it out. Anyway, my family only has more than 10,000 yuan in savings, so I can keep the tuition for my schooling. If you want to invest in other things, you can do it."
Lin Baiyao sat opposite Lin Zhengdao, with a rare sincerity on his face, and a gentle yet strong tone in his voice, trying to poke at the adult man's heart and said: "But, dad, listen to your son's advice and don't borrow money."
, we have a small family and a small business, we don’t seek wealth, we just live a stable life. You have to think about it, if we lose money, my mother will definitely not be able to bear it, and we will not be able to have a family if we are noisy every day... It’s not worth it, is it? Money is important
, but it’s more important for our family to be happy together. I’m going to college soon, and you’ll leave the money-making matters to me later. Anyway, I promise that I will never let you and your mother live a hard life..."
In the 1990s, the relationship between father and son was more distant and reserved. They were shy to express their concern for each other. Daily conversations were limited to the panacea model of having enough food, clothing, clothing, and finding your mother. There were few opportunities to sit down and talk, let alone talk about food.
The layers of the superstructure outside the building.
Lin Baiyao's sudden change of heart deeply touched Lin Zhengdao. Looking at his son who seemed to have grown up overnight, he was silent for a long time, and finally showed a relieved look and said with a smile: "You can't do it if you don't accept old age. In the blink of an eye, your son has grown up."
It’s so big…”
Lin Baiyao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had successfully persuaded Lin Zhengdao.
"Okay, I'll listen to you and stop investing myself. I estimate that Shi Xi can't borrow more than 20,000 yuan, so just lend him 10,000 yuan and let him share half of our profits..."
Lin Baiyao's black question mark face was really ruined by Lin Zhengdao's sexy tricks.
After a while, he gave a thumbs up and said: "Well, Dad, you still have a plan. If you make money, it's ours. If you lose it, uncle will pay you back."
"Well, if we really do lose, we can't let him pay the whole amount, just five thousand yuan. I will pay for it, and he will go out, and the two of us will invest in a partnership, 50-50."
Lin Baiyao had completely lost all intention of persuading him. Forget it, if he wanted to resolve this matter, he would just go his way.
…
Tang Xiaoqi was very sensible. He knew that many outsiders were uncomfortable when Lin Baiyao's family was reunited, so he went to sleep in the hut at the west end after dinner.
At this moment, Lin Baiyao woke up, full of energy and without any tiredness. Listen to him say: "You drive back to the city now and ask Brother Gang to immediately find a man who can open locks, is agile and reliable, and have him picked up before tomorrow morning."
bring it here."
Leather is a thief. Tang Xiaoqi chuckled and said, "Mr. Lin, don't bother me. Before Brother Gang and I, we were the best leather men in the Taihang Mountains. If you have any questions, you can give me orders."
"Um?"
Lin Baiyao looked at Tang Xiaoqi doubtfully.
Could it be true? Treasure boy?
"I thought you were cheating..."
La Gua is a thug, and leather goods are two different trades. Tang Xiaoqi said: "It turns out that Mr. Lin is also an expert! I hung out in the Taihang Mountains since I was a child, and learned leather work from the boss. Later when I went out, I was addicted to the drug used by the flower photographer, and ended up in the Dongjiang River.
, I have to cut off my hands and feet to make meaty winter melon..."
Lin Baiyao smiled and said: "I only know a little bit of jargon, you don't need to be so professional..."
"Hey, it's been so long since I've said this, I can't keep my mouth shut."
After Tang Xiaoqi's careful explanation, Lin Baiyao realized that the Taihang Mountains were not the real Taihang Mountains, but the general gate of the five northern provinces. There were all the inner and outer gates of the 9 and 18 gates, and they belonged to a very loose underground alliance.
There is no boss in the alliance, and there are no rules. There are only a few small taboos that have been established by convention. You can violate them, but you will be responsible for the consequences if you violate them.
In the alliance, everyone can exchange information with each other, pay people to do things, buy anything that cannot be bought on the surface, and so on.
As for the old master craftsman, he refers to a thief with extremely clever skills, the flower girl is a human trafficker, and the meat and winter melon is a beggar with no hands or feet.
Lin Baiyao was very knowledgeable and said: "Okay, you come with me to do something tomorrow!"
Leave professional matters to professionals.
This is the first factor in getting things done.
"Do you want to pull out the pool? Well, pulling out the pool means entering the house and doing it hard. Mr. Lin, I don't want to ask, because different jobs require different things. Do you do it outside? Or do it inside? Do you do it quietly? Or do you do it quietly?
Fuck hard?”
"Break into the house! Let's explore the route first, and then decide whether to force it or not."
"Okay, then I'll go out for a walk..."
Lin Baiyao grabbed him, took out three hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it over, saying: "Buy whatever you need, don't do anything stupid."
"Brother Gang won't allow me to do this. My skills are rusty. I still want to go out and practice my skills in the dark of night..."
"...Stop practicing, it's a small job, don't be too professional..."
Lin Baiyao was very helpless. The brain circuits of the people around him seemed to be a little weird. If he didn't stay awake in the world, he really didn't know what he would do.
"This time we are dealing with a liar. We have to do it as a last resort. You must abide by Brother Gang's rules in the future and you are not allowed to go back to your old business. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Tang Xiaoqi replied solemnly that he was in awe of Lin Baiyao and was not weakened by this contact with Lin Baiyao's family.
Seemingly ordinary, but being able to make waves in the Dongjiang River, isn't this more terrifying than having a prominent family background?
Early the next morning, Shi Xi hadn't returned home all night, and he didn't know if he had borrowed the money.
According to the plan, Lin Zhengdao and Lin Baiyao also returned to Dongjiang today, but neither of them mentioned it at this time. Lin Baiyao used the excuse to go out for fun, and Lin Zhengdao used the excuse to wait for Shi Xi to come back to discuss the 50-50 investment, and then each of them would do their own thing.
Lin Baiyao and Tang Xiaoqi drove to the Haitian Hotel in the county seat. Tang Xiaoqi, carrying a black canvas bag, walked to the front desk and asked: "Is Boss Hu from 407 here? I am his friend, my name is Shi Xi, and I was here yesterday."
He was betting that the girl at the front desk wouldn't remember Shi Xi's appearance, but naming him like this would make his words credible.
As expected, the girl at the front desk had no doubts and said, "Boss Hu seems to have gone out for breakfast. How about you wait in the lobby?"
"No, it just so happens that we have to stay in the county for a day to do some errands. How about this? Is the 406 next door to Boss Hu vacant?"
"It's empty."
"Okay, then open it for me!"
"Boss, let me register your ID card."
Tang Xiaoqi smiled and said: "I'm here to do business in the city, and I'm not traveling far away. Who brings an ID card? I'll give it to you..."
He made up a number at random, and the front desk didn't insist on it. In 1998, there were no mandatory requirements for accommodation.
After living in 406, Tang Xiaoqi looked around the room like a well-trained hunting dog, not even sparing the corner of the toilet.
"What is this for?"
"I asked the front desk. The room types and furnishings of rooms 406 and 407 are exactly the same. This way, I can avoid hitting the traps arranged by the other party in advance when I enter later."
Lin Bai said: "Hu Weikang may not be so powerful..."
"Be careful and you won't make a big mistake. The first day I learned from the boss, Master Jiang, he told me that teaching you skills is not to let you hide your weakness, but to make you try your best every time you take action. Only by trying your best can you be successful.
Reduce the number of misses. I have to assume that the other party is a master. If a stranger comes in, he will notice it at the first glance when he opens the door, and then turn around and leave. It will be more difficult to control him."
Again, professional!
After Tang Xiaoqi finished his research, he asked Lin Baiyao to rest in the room and went out by himself.
Only five minutes later, three long and two short knocks were heard across the wall. Lin Baiyao knew that he had succeeded, so he walked out to see that no one was in the corridor, and stepped sideways into 407.
"Is there a trap?"
"There is a piece of paper stuck in the crack of the door. There is a half glass of water on the floor by the door. The lighter, cigarette case and yesterday's Dongjiang Evening News are placed on the bedside table in a unique pattern."
Tang Xiaoqi pointed to the pile of things on the bed. There was a black leather handbag, three file bags with top secret labels, and as many as seven ID cards spread out.
"These are all the valuable things that can be found in the whole room. Mr. Lin, take a look, are they what we are looking for?"
"Can these be touched?"
"It's okay. I've written down the location of the black leather bag and file bag. I'll put them in place later to make sure they're not messy at all. The ID card is from the mattress he used to make the bed. He opened a three-inch gap and hid the ID card in it.
, and sewed it up again, this one is easier to restore..."
Lin Baiyao is tired of saying the word professional, but he still has to praise it:
major!
Lin Baiyao first opened the black leather bag, which contained two thousand yuan in banknotes, which showed that the liar was living a good life. There was also an ID card, his name was Hu Weikang, his native place was a small county in the south, and he looked average in the photo, nothing much.
temperament.
But everyone knows the photo of the ID card, not to mention that the first-generation ID card is made by printing and photo duplication technology, and then sealed with polyester film.
As for the imaging quality, let alone ordinary people, even photos of Daniel Wu are not much better than Song Xiaobao.
There are also some business cards, signed either by the general manager or the chairman. The company is either global or international. It is quite high-profile. In addition to the bosses, there are also the director of a certain bureau, the director of a certain committee, and the secretary of a certain association.
Long wait.
If you only look at the circle of friends displayed on the business card, who would dare to doubt Hu Weikang's identity?
The files contained contracts, with government units and large global companies, covering various industries such as metal minerals, ocean trade, and home appliance manufacturing. The amount started at tens of millions, with no upper limit. Lin Baiyao even saw a and
Laos is cooperating in a 20-billion-dollar project to develop the Mekong River. The name of the project is the "Xayaburi Dam Development and Construction Plan."
This startled him.
It's nothing to talk nonsense about developing the Mekong River. As long as you pay more attention to current political news, you will know that in 1995, ASEAN proposed the idea of building 12 dams on the Mekong River.
Hu Weikang's deceptions are very personal. He likes to keep up with current events. For example, this time he set up a trap for Shi Xi's father-in-law and took advantage of the floods in the south.
Then, it is reasonable to use the Mekong River Treaty to develop dams.
The reason why Lin Baiyao was shocked was that by 2019, Laos had indeed built the Xayaboury Dam in Xayaboury Province, despite opposition from all parties, with an investment of US$3.8 billion, or more than 20 billion.
This Hu Weikang, couldn’t he have been reborn again?
Could it be that it is not Qin Shihuang who likes to make people send money, but Liu Xiu, the son of the plane and a suspected time traveler?
