A few days later, not long after Xiao Ran arrived at the company, he heard a lot of noise outside. He looked at each other and went out together with Wei Dongling. As soon as he saw the situation outside, Xiao Ran knew that what he had been worried about had finally happened.
The scene was very noisy, and the security guards came, but they saw that the guys did not dare to get too close. Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling looked at each other again, shook their heads and then nodded again, and they both laughed at the same time. Because they both
After thinking about it, they all thought that this kind of security guard was no longer good and had to be replaced. This was the meaning of shaking their head first and then nodding.
Pushing aside the onlookers of company employees, he stepped forward. Seeing that even the boss and general manager were alarmed, those employees quickly called out to them several times. Just by looking at the clothes of the three people making trouble, one could tell that they were all businessmen.
Among the disciples, a strong man with a conspicuous scar on his face glared at Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling fiercely: "Are you the person in charge here? Very good, the uncle is here to collect protection money!"
Xiao Ran immediately sneered. Don't think that he can't do cruel things because he is indifferent. Think about him wandering around the world alone. He has never seen anything. If he doesn't even have any means, how can he survive?
In fact, Xiao Ran has been thinking about this issue for a long time. Gangs are extremely rampant in this era and are far less restrained than they were in the 1990s. Especially after seeing the Chinese government's methods in 1989, these gangs were either frightened and retreated, or they were
Just leave the gang and wash your hands.
But this is not the 1990s after all, and Xiao Ran still has to face all this. In fact, when he decides to take this path, or rather wants to take this path in Hong Kong, apart from the civil service path, any industry must face challenges.
To the gangsters.
He had already been mentally prepared for this. But before, he thought that gangsters would come to collect protection fees soon after the company opened. Later, when he asked Liang Kun, he found out that under normal circumstances, gangsters who are not strong enough would not dare to ask big companies for protection money.
The first three months of a company's business are to wait and see if the company has any power, so it's only now that it's taken over.
Xiao Ran smiled coldly and regarded the three fierce-looking guys as if they were transparent. He pointed his finger at the two security guards and said in a very rude tone: "You can leave now. Phantom Company doesn't need people like you."
Men’s security.”
The two security guards immediately turned pale. When the staff saw that Xiao Ran had dealt with the "internal enemies" without mercy, they couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts. They kicked the two security guards away and Xiao Ran glanced at Wei Dongling.
There is a smile in his eyes. With such a lineup, you still want to come up and collect protection money?
"You..." Xiao Ran looked at the leader Scar coldly and pointed his finger at the guy: "What do you guys start with?"
When Scar suddenly heard Xiao Ran say such honest words, he couldn't help being slightly startled, thinking: Does this company have a background? Why didn't the boss tell me? Thinking back, his expression became much more polite:
"We are from Lian Shengying. I wonder which path you are from?"
"Your mother!" Xiao Ran's eyes suddenly widened, and he cursed a classic catchphrase in Zhou Xingchi's works: "What kind of status do you have, how dare you come here to collect protection money? Go back and ask your boss to negotiate, otherwise you won't get any money!"
"
"This..." Scar hesitated for a moment, wanting to be tough, but seeing Xiao Ran turning and leaving in an extremely high-profile manner, without even looking at him. He was worried about whether this company really had a background, so he gritted his teeth.
"Okay, I'll go back and ask my boss to come and talk!" The guy waved and went with his two younger brothers.
Turning around and entering the office, Xiao Ran felt guilty for a while. There were traces of edges on the shirts of those guys. They were obviously with someone else. If he hadn't suppressed that guy as soon as he appeared, he might have started a big fight just now!
"Ah Ran, it seems that you are not handling it well like this!" Wei Dongling looked worried. Since he invited Liang Kun, he has gradually learned a lot about Taoism, and naturally he knows how much trouble Xiao Ran will have with his bluff just now: "What if
If their eldest brother is really here, then we are just afraid..."
Xiao Ran didn't know. He thought quickly and suddenly thought of Xiang Qiang: "Yes, do you remember Xiang Qiang I mentioned to you a few days ago? He is the younger brother of the leading brother in Xinyi An, I think he may be able to help
us!"
"Wait!" Wei Dongling saw Xiao Ran pick up the phone and was about to make a call, so he quickly stopped: "Why should he help us? Don't forget, he is also a gangster, and he should understand the rules of the gang!"
That's right! Why should Xiang Qiang help him? Xiao Ran asked himself this, and immediately gave an answer that he never wanted to see. However, if he gave up so easily, it wouldn't be him. After thinking about it, he immediately
Having figured out a way, he gritted his teeth and said: "Give me money. You have to give me money anyway, why not let Xin Ngee'an collect the money!"
In addition, Xiao Ran had another idea. He thought that no matter how much the money was, as long as Xin Ngee'an agreed, it would cause a conflict with Lian Shengying, which would do no harm to him. Thinking of this, he allocated the money.
The phone call went through the secretary, and then Xiang Qiang answered the phone.
"Brother Qiang, I'm in trouble now. I wonder if you can help me!" Xiao Ran tried to calm down and said to the phone calmly: "Lian Shengying just sent someone to collect the protection fee.
It is better to give this money to them than to Xin Ngee Ann. As long as you agree, I will give all the protection money to Xin Ngee Ann from now on!"
Xiang Qiang was silent for a long time on the other side, presumably thinking about the benefits of this matter to Xin Ngee'an. After a long time, he sighed: "Aran, I can't help you. Your company is on Lian Shengying's territory.
If Xin Ngee Ann takes your money, it means you have crossed the line. Now Xin Ngee Ann is the number one entrance, and it is always being watched by other entrances. If you cross the line, you will probably get into big trouble!"
Although Xiang Qiang had no idea of Xiao Ran's sinister intentions, Xiao Ran still gradually became cold-hearted. Wei Dongling only looked at Xiao Ran's face and knew that the matter was a failure. He sighed loudly: "Forget it, at worst, just pay the money on time."
!”
Pay the money? Xiao Ran sneered in his heart. This was definitely a shame for him. However, judging from the current situation, there seemed to be no other way to settle this matter except paying the money. This time, Xiao Ran did not grit his teeth again.
He vowed in his heart that he would control the underworld.
"By the way, the Hong Kong Film Industry Association is about to be established. The government requires all film company bosses in Hong Kong to hold a meeting in a week." Wei Dongling has a headache. The issue of collecting protection fees from the underworld is a headache for everyone: "Should we go?"
The Film Association was established? Xiao Ran realized it immediately and said repeatedly: "Go, of course! Let's go together then!" As soon as he said the words, he realized that Wei Dongling asked him to divert his attention. Otherwise, this would
Why do you need to ask Xiao Ran about it?
Scar and his younger brother returned empty-handed to the nightclub, which was one of their old haunts. He had just told his elder brother Shan Mao what had happened. Shan Mao was a middle-aged man with short hair. He thought for a moment in confusion and muttered: "No.
The reason is, does this guy have any other background that we haven’t found?"
"Brother Cat, do you think this matter can be settled like this?" Scar had already planted in his heart the very domineering look of Xiao Ran just now. He had already concluded that Xiao Ran had a background, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be good.
manage!"
"You said forget it? Am I the eldest brother or are you the eldest brother?" Shanmao quickly figured it out. There were several real big guys on the street who were trying to get money for movies. It was estimated that Xiao Ran knew one of them. Thinking of this, he
He hesitated. According to his understanding, Lianying also had big bosses making movies. If he offended them, he would be in trouble.
I forgot to mention that Lian Shengying is actually a branch of Lianying. Although it is independent to a large extent, Lianying still has a lot of influence. There are rules in the road. If a guy is very
If the person is capable and has the idea of working alone, then the leader will allow him to establish his own business and allow him to use the prefix of "bentangkou". Of course, one or two words must be added to express the difference. Lian Shengying's "sheng" is
to show different places.
"Actually, we don't need to get involved in a company like Phantom!" Scar did not give up, but continued: "Why do the superiors insist that we collect 200,000 yuan in protection fees every month? Other companies usually charge every month
It’s only 50,000 at most.”
"What do you know? I heard something about Phantom's boss..." Shanmao couldn't remember Xiao Ran's name for a moment and looked at Scar. Scar reminded him, and then Shanmao continued: "Xiao Ran offended a big shot.
, that person has a close relationship with our eldest brother Lian Shengying, so we have to play hard with that guy!"
Scar had a look of realization on his face. A small character like him was not qualified to know anything. After all, Shan Mao was still a big boss of Lian Shengying, so he did know something. After thinking about it, Shan Mao made a decision: "You guys
Go check this guy’s background carefully and I’ll go see him in person tomorrow!”
Of course Xiao Ran didn't know who was playing tricks on him secretly, and he didn't even know that all this was deliberately planned. That night, Xiao Ran went to stay with Fang Ruoxin for a while, and then mentioned this to Fang Ruohai. Fang Ruohai thought
I want to make a very clear proposal: "If they want money, give them money! If they want 100,000, give them 1 million. I don't believe you can't hit them with money!"
Xiao Ran smiled bitterly. If he was rich, he could do what Fang Ruohai did. One million was not enough. If he spent ten million, he would not believe that he could not bribe these gangsters. But the key point is that he is so poor now.
Money, no, I was so poor that I had nothing left except underwear and Phantom Company.
There is still a lot of money in the company's accounts, but those are the company's development funds, how can they be given to the underworld? Besides, Xiao Ran does not agree with the behavior of throwing money at people. He feels that if he wants to be able to speak in the underworld,
At least one must grasp a force in the underworld, only then can the crisis from the underworld be truly eradicated.
The next morning, when Xiao Ran was learning from Wei Dongling to handle company affairs, Shanmao, Scar and another younger brother came. Xiao Ran made the decision to pay the money, and naturally faced these vampires calmly.
Shanmao sat down on the chair in a very polite manner, then glanced at Xiao Ran and Wei Dongling, and asked arrogantly: "Which of you is in charge?"
Xiao Ran suddenly had the urge to laugh. It was impossible that Scar, who had seen him and Wei Dongling, didn't tell the guy who called himself Shanmao who was in charge. Now that he had said it, this Shanmao still asked like this, either he was a little stupid, or he was
Guilty.
"What do you want to talk about? Just talk to me!" Xiao Ran looked into Shan Mao's eyes calmly. He believed that the momentum in the novel was an expression of the psychology and thoughts of the person involved. However, this psychology and
Ideas are conveyed through the eyes, so it puts pressure on the other party. He thinks this is a good way to negotiate.
