Chapter 302 [Kneel down]
Chen Nuo met Li Qingshan near three o'clock in the morning.
The meeting place was Li Qingshan's mansion in the west of Jinling City.
Large flat floors of nearly 200 square meters were rare in Jinling City in 2001.
This residence is obviously an unknown property of Li Qingshan.
Chen Nuo was picked up by Lao Qi himself.
When he arrived, he was surprised to find that Li Qingshan was the only one in the house. He didn't even have an entourage or bodyguard with him.
When entering, Lao Qi opened the door and let Chen Nuo in, then stood at the door.
Li Qingshan immediately stood up from the sofa in the living room and stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Chen Nuo, I'm really sorry that it's so late..."
Chen Nuo waved his hand, looked very calm, and said calmly: "I won't say any polite words. You came to me so anxiously at such a late hour. It seems that you have encountered something very difficult. Let's sit down and talk."
Although Li Qingshan was stopped from talking, he was relieved by Chen Nuo's directness and glanced at Lao Qi: "Go and bring people here."
"OK."
Lao Qi turned around and left, locking the door.
The decoration in the living room is very luxurious. It can be seen that the furniture is very elegant and a lot of money has been spent on it.
However, Li Qingshan's aesthetic taste is just that. The luxurious furniture is full of the aura of the nouveau riche. And as if to cover up this aura, he specially placed several antique vases in the living room and a few on the shelves.
Arrange a boxed book with hardcover and hardcover edition.
It just seems nondescript.
Although Li Qingshan looked calm, the bloodshot eyes and suppressed expression made Chen Nuo see some clues - especially this old boy was not pretending to do a tea ceremony on the coffee table today.
I came here to show off, so there were a few bottles of beer on the table.
The collar button on Li Qingshan's neck was also unbuttoned, and he looked a little depressed.
"Hall Master Li, this house is quite nice." Chen Nuo smiled.
He remembered that this area would be approximately 60,000 to 71,000 square meters twenty years later.
"Just kidding, I just bought it last year from a friend's real estate to support my friend's business." Li Qingshan waved his hand.
"Well, tell me what happened." Chen Nuo picked up a bottle of beer on the table, opened it with his thumb, and took a sip.
Li Qingshan stared at Chen Nuo, his breathing gradually became faster, and his mood was obviously a little unstable. Moreover, he seemed to be still struggling with something between his eyebrows: "Um... Mr. Chen Nuo, can you help me make an appointment with Brother Haonan? This matter
, I would like to ask...well, please ask your senior brother to help me with the details..."
"?"
Chen Nuo glanced at this guy suspiciously.
This is... you can't trust your own abilities.
No wonder.
Brother Haonan had pretended to be a force in what happened before. In the understanding of the old man Li Qingshan, no matter if he broke into his base camp alone, he would kill everyone on their backs.
Or catch the bullet with your bare hands in front of him.
Li Qingshan still thinks Zhang Linsheng did these things.
In his mind, Zhang Linsheng was the one who truly had great abilities.
And I... am just Zhang Linsheng's younger junior brother. Although he is from the same sect, I am afraid he is still far behind in terms of ability. There is still some doubt as to how capable he is.
Not wanting to expose it, Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Well...my senior brother has not been very involved in doing things recently. You told me the same thing."
"This..." Li Qingshan still looked a little reluctant.
"I should be able to help you with anything.
If I can't do it, I will ask my senior brother to come forward.
Don’t worry, I can still do this, and senior brother will be willing to listen to me.”
"……All right."
Li Qingshan heard the determination in Chen Nuo's tone.
After thinking about it in my mind, since Chen Nuo had said so much, if he had repeatedly emphasized that he was only willing to find Brother Haonan...
I'm afraid that Junior Brother Chen Nuo's face will be difficult to live with. What if he doesn't like it anymore and loses his temper in front of Brother Haonan? He is a fellow Junior Brother. What if Brother Haonan wants to protect his Junior Brother?
If you don't want to save face and refuse to help, then the gain will really outweigh the loss.
Anyway, since we can't find the older one for the time being, we can just talk to the younger one first.
"I'm in big trouble."
"Yeah." Chen Nuo drank the beer in small sips and nodded: "There's no rush, just speak slowly."
"Someone wants to touch me!" Li Qingshan's tone was serious.
Chen Nuo was not surprised at all after hearing this.
Li Qingshan is a gangster. He will definitely have enemies throughout his life. It is not unusual for someone to want to deal with him.
"Yes, I understand. But in Jinling City, there are only a few people who have the strength to touch you."
Li Qingshan shook his head: "If I were in Jinling City, unless someone in the officialdom wanted to touch me, I would be at ease, or I could just pack up and run away. Two words, admit defeat!
But apart from the official one... if he is a friend in some channel, no matter how big his property is...
I’m afraid it’s not that easy to touch me, Li Qingshan, in Jinling.”
After hearing this, Chen Nuo smiled and said nothing. He just nodded and motioned to Li Qingshan with his eyes to continue speaking.
Hall Master Li sighed in a low voice: "But the problem is, this time they took advantage of my weakness..."
After a pause, Li Qingshan lowered his head and rubbed both sides of his cheeks with both hands. After a while, he raised his head, looked at Chen Nuo blankly, and whispered: "Mr. Chen Nuo, this matter
There are some aspects related to me that I don’t want to publicize..."
Chen Nuo understood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, what you tell me tonight will not be spread when I walk out of this door."
"That's good!" Li Qingshan said slowly: "I have made some money over the years, and I have a lot of free money.
I have also bought some property. In terms of wealth, it is not comparable to others, but as far as my fellow brothers in Jinling City are concerned, no one can say that they can really beat me.
Even the Luo Da Shouzi you know is doing well in his own business.
But if we really talk about financial resources, I’m afraid they may not have more than me.”
Chen Nuo was noncommittal and gestured with his eyes to continue.
"I am fifty-seven this year." Li Qingshan said with a bitter smile: "There is not much time left in a man's life to be stunned.
Mr. Chen Nuoxiao, you should have heard about it too. Perhaps that bald Wu Dalei must have told you about me.
Everyone knows that I, Li Qingshan, engage in dirty business, and they all say that doing this kind of business damages one's moral character.
They all say that I, Li Qingshan, was the one who set up a family and got retribution, so I will be a deadbeat in this life.
Childless.
In the past, my colleagues all joked behind my back, saying that I, Li Qingshan, had made so much money in my life that I would not be able to take it into the coffin when I died. When the time comes, one day I will kick my legs out, and all my wealth will be passed on to outsiders who have nothing to do with it.
I still have some relatives helping me with my business.
But maybe, the ones who most hope I die soon are these relatives..."
Chen Nuo said calmly: "To put it bluntly, I'm not interested in asking about your family affairs."
"Okay, okay, let's talk about the key points." Li Qingshan quickly took back his ramblings and whispered: "I have an enemy... who wants to cause trouble for me!
The problem is, I originally thought he had been dead for many years.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not die, but he also...
Moreover, now he has taken advantage of my weak spot."
"Enemy?"
"Well...it's a grudge that can't be overcome and can't be opened up.
Deadly feud!"
Li Qingshan said, his eyes twitching: "That was...the early 1980s..."
·
In the early 1980s, Li Qingshan, who was in his thirties, once went south to make money.
There was a boom in going to the sea, especially in the south, where everyone considered it to be a treasure trove of gold and silver and full of opportunities.
Even Chen Nuo's biological father, Chen Jianshe, could no longer survive in Jinling City, so he went to the southern province of Guangdong to look for opportunities and dream of getting rich.
Li Qingshan is considered to be a member of the generation who went there relatively early.
Moreover, it is different from those people who went to the south to buy goods, buy some small electronic products, buy clothes, and do those kinds of transactions.
Li Qingshan is very courageous and ambitious. He looks down on this kind of "small business" where he is a swindler.
In other words, he wants to do it, but he has neither the capital nor the means.
So, he took another way to make a fortune.
·
"A few brothers and I ran to places further south... to find ways to make money. From Guangdong Province we ran to Yunnan, and then... we met several bosses in the industry there, and we followed with licking our faces.
People mix.
Start working as a follower, a thug, and a bodyguard.
After all, it’s a hard and hard-working job.
It’s just to become familiar with a path and the methods of that industry.
Finally, we got familiar with some things, and worked with my brother to find ways to make some money. After saving a little capital, we came across an opportunity, and we went..."
"Where have you gone?"
"...Myanmar, getting jade and jade."
After hearing this, Chen Nuo sighed and looked at Li Qingshan deeply: "You... are really hardworking enough."
Myanmar in the 1980s can only be described in one word: chaos!
Let alone the 1980s, even now in 2001, Myanmar, a small country in Southeast Asia, has not yet stabilized and is still under the rule of a military government.
According to the memory of a previous life, this military government will rule Myanmar for more than ten years.
To put it simply, the situation in this country has always been very tense. The military government was created by a military coup. There is no democratically elected and democratic government. Moreover, the forces in the military are intertwined. There are big military heads under the mountains, and there are big military heads under the big mountains.
There is a small military head, and there is a small hill below the small military head...
There are even occasional frictions and territorial grabs between the various armies.
One of Myanmar’s important export resources is jade.
Many jade mines are controlled by local military chiefs, large and small.
In the 1980s, he went to Myanmar to do the ore business.
That's really putting your head in your belt and risking your life.
·
“It was really chaotic at that time, and those Burmese troops took control of the mineral veins and pits.
But fortunately, they also sell the things they mine out. They have to sell these to raise military expenses. There is a situation where the local army is divided, and the military leaders, big and small, rely on the army to maintain their status.
Therefore, foreigners, especially, do not refuse to engage in ore business. As long as they can make money from the sale, they are willing to do the deal.
But the problem is, it’s a mess!
You went to this mining area today, negotiated a deal with the military leader of the mining area, and even paid the deposit.
But tomorrow, maybe other military leaders will come over and seize this territory. Then all the deposit you invested will be wasted, and they won't recognize it.
As a result, everything was lost.
This is pretty good.
There are also some random little military leaders who, unable to grab the resourceful mineral veins, simply rob foreign businessmen who come to purchase ore secretly.
They kill people, buy goods, and then throw them into abandoned mines where they will not be found for decades. No one knows at all."
Li Qingshan whispered, while recalling, his eyes became more and more complicated.
"So, you are really brave." Chen Nuo also admired this old man a little.
This is really a life-threatening business.
Let alone the 1980s.
Even now in 2001, Myanmar is still in chaos!
However, this is probably how Li Qingshan earned his original capital and embarked on the road to prosperity.
"Who is your enemy?"
Faced with this question, Li Qingshan was silent for a few seconds, his expression a bit complicated and weird, and then he slowly spoke: "Among the people who were dumping jade stones with me in Myanmar, there was one of my good brothers..."
Chen Nuo frowned.
"It was a fateful friendship back then.
At that time, in that place, in that country, it was such a dangerous business.
I have saved his life several times, and he has saved mine several times. I have lost count.
In short, it is the kind of relationship where we are as close as brothers and don't distinguish between you and me.
We all made some money, especially once, we spent a lot of money to clear up many relationships and bribed a high-ranking military figure in the army who occupied an old mine pit.
Through relationships, a large number of jade stones were obtained.
We have even found a buyer for that batch of goods.
As long as it can be shipped out safely, you can make a lot of money.
That time we made full preparations and brought enough manpower. We also benefited from the local military leaders...
In addition, we had been doing this for several years and were familiar with the industry.
I felt that I would definitely be able to get the goods smoothly and then walk back.
As a result, something went wrong that time.”
"What went wrong?"
"That time we took almost all the money from our possessions and gave it all in one go." Li Qingshan shook his head and said, "But..."
"Were you robbed?"
"No...it wasn't robbed. There was something wrong with the mining area."
Li Qingshan took a deep breath and whispered: "We have just completed the transaction, and before we had time to bring out the batch of ore, we were blocked inside.
The military leaders who occupied that mining area were attacked by several military leaders from other places, and were defeated and defeated.
The mining area was beaten down by several other military leaders, and we were trapped inside with our people, vehicles, and goods.
Then, the fight started in a mess.
Although we have brought manpower and weapons, we will definitely not be able to defeat the opponents of several other armies..."
"Then what? You didn't abandon your brother and ran away by yourself, did you?
That’s why he became your enemy?”
"That's not the case." Li Qingshan's face muscles twitched: "I... I saw that the troops were in chaos at that time, and the armies on several sides were fighting together.
Especially the military leader who originally occupied the mine had his troops dispersed.
I was...hey...
It’s also my fault, because my brain was so hot at that time that I became greedy.”
Greed?
Chen Nuo frowned and looked at Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan muttered in a low voice: "At that time, the buying and selling of ore were all cash transactions. There was no such thing as transfer.
Moreover, people want money to support the army and pay their troops so that they can keep the army from being dispersed. They welcome cash very much.
So, where deals are done in the mining areas...
The local military leaders who occupy the mining areas will have a large amount of cash stored in the trading warehouse there!
Because they are all in mountainous areas, cash needs to be stored for a period of time before being transported and used to purchase supplies, ordnance, or pay military pay.
There is a time window.
During the window period, the money from recent transactions is still there.
At that time, my mind was in a fever, and I saw that the army was in chaos anyway, and the defending troops were beaten to pieces and dispersed.
When I happened to be trading again, I knew the location of the warehouse where the military leader was trading...
I just..."
When Chen Nuo heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
"You... took advantage of the chaos and robbed the warlord of the payment for the ore he sold?"
"No, it's not a robbery." Li Qingshan smiled bitterly: "Within a few shots, the troops collapsed on their own. We just took advantage of the chaos and rushed in. There were only a few people. We fired machine guns randomly and everyone ran away.
We used explosives from mines to blow open their safes and started moving the money."
"How much?"
Li Qingshan whispered: "A total of...a million or so..."
"A million or so is not too much..."
"...beautiful sword."
"..." Chen Nuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "... Damn it!!"
More than one million US dollars in the early 1980s.
That’s really awesome!
"There are still more than a dozen gold bars." Li Qingshan added in a low voice.
Chen Nuo: “…………”
Damn it! Even with an old boy like you, you are also a slutty bitch who takes advantage of others!
Bah! Remove the word "also"!
"I was the one who came up with the idea to rob the defeated warlord's vault.
But my brother was against it at the time.
He thinks that when other warlords come to attack, we should not be too troublesome and wait for them to finish the fight. The new warlord who occupies the mine will sell ore anyway, and it will be the same for whomever we buy. If they want to sell ore for military expenses in the future, just
They always rely on us foreign businessmen, so there is a high probability that they will not hurt us.
Let's not wade into troubled waters, just wait and wait until they finish the work and trade with the new owner of the mining area.
If you complete this shipment safely, you can earn a lot.
But...I'm greedy!"
Li Qingshan impatiently picked up a cigarette and smoked one.
“That day I saw with my own eyes a cannonball that blew down the wall of the warehouse where the owner of the mining area where I had visited sold ore.
Then the soldiers inside were dead and wounded, and everyone behind them ran away in a chaos.
At that time, I had only one thought in my mind: Take this vote and grab the damn one!
As long as I succeed, I will run back to the country with the money and never go to this country again in my life. This money will be enough for me to stay rich in China for a lifetime.
In the end, I convinced everyone, and my good brother was also convinced by me and joined me in the vote."
"What happens next?"
Li Qingshan sighed and suddenly slapped the table hard: "This is all about life!
We grabbed the ticket, rushed into the warehouse, and blew open the vault. We only packed two travel bags with several large bags of cash inside...
Then, damn suddenly the situation was reversed!
The military leader of the mining area owner, their reinforcements suddenly arrived!
The situation suddenly turned upside down!
Those small warlords who attacked the mining area were killed and quickly retreated.
The worst thing is that the army of the owner of the mining area saw us robbing the safe.
My brother and I fled in a hurry with our men.
But how can one escape so easily?
Moreover, they are local snakes.
The old forest and mountains over there are most familiar to the local army. After all, we are outsiders and unfamiliar with the place.
We ran away in a hurry, and the few people we brought with us were scattered.
Some were beaten to death, and some ran away.
My brother and I carried two travel bags worth more than one million U.S. dollars. We drilled in the woods, ran, climbed mountains, and waded through water...
In the end, he was overtaken by the pursuers.
My brother and I had no choice but to draw the lottery of life and death!"
Li Qingshan gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Draw a lot of life and death! The person who is drawn to die will be left to die. After that, we made a bag and packed a few fake stones.
The person who draws the death lot will carry a bag of stones, turn around to attract the attention of the pursuers, and then run away in another way!
The person who draws the lottery will take the real money and run for his life!"
"You got the lottery for life, and your brother got the lottery for death." Chen Nuo sighed.
"No, I got the death lottery. It's my turn to be the bait to attract the pursuers." When Li Qingshan said this, his voice suddenly started to tremble, but his eyes were full of fierceness!
Chen Nuo's heart sank: "You..."
"I saw the death sign in my hand at that time. According to the agreement, I was going to be a bait to attract the pursuers.
But I know that if you serve as bait, you will most likely be dead!
So...I..."
Li Qingshan took a deep breath, and the flesh on his face was trembling.
"I knelt down for him! I held his legs, cried bitterly, and begged him!"
Chen Nuo was stunned!
·
"Please! Please, second brother!!"
Second brother! I can't die here! My mother is still in Jinling City, and I die here. There is no one in the family to die for her!
I haven’t even given birth to a son now. If I die here, my old Li family will be extinct!!
Second brother, second brother, please! I can’t die, I don’t want to die here!!”
In the woods, a lean man covered in mud was kneeling on the ground, holding the thigh of the person in front of him tightly with his hands, his head pressed against the side of the other person's waist, his face covered with snot and tears.
The man he hugged had a square face, thick eyebrows and short hair, and a tall build.
Listening to the pleading and crying of his companions, the expression on his face struggled back and forth, and finally...
Grit your teeth hard!
This square-faced man suddenly pushed the lean man away fiercely, knocking him over!
Looking at the lean man lying on the ground with a terrified face...
The man suddenly went up and snatched the sign made from a tree stick from the opponent's hand, snapped it in his hand, and threw it to the ground!
Then he lowered his head and bent down, zipped up a travel bag containing stones on the ground and hung it on his body!
"My surname is Li!! If something happens to me, and you return to Jinling, you will share half of the money with my family!!
My parents, you have to provide for them until the end of your life!
You have to take good care of my wife and children!
Can you do it!!!"
Li Qingshan, who was on the ground, was shaken and looked at the burly man in front of him in disbelief!
"Second, second brother..."
"Promise me!"
"I, I, I swear, I will definitely..."
Before Li Qingshan could finish speaking, the burly man snorted, shook his arms, turned around, and ran in the opposite direction in the direction of his escape.
"Remember! Half of the money belongs to my family! Give it to my wife!"
The figure of the burly man disappeared into the woods.
A moment later, chaotic gunshots were heard in the distance.
Li Qingshan got up in embarrassment from the ground, grabbed two travel bags filled with money, rolled and climbed, and ran wildly in the opposite direction...
·
When Chen Nuo heard this...the expression on his face gradually stiffened, and sounds came out word by word from his mouth.
"Li Qingshan... I! Fuck! You! Damn!!!
You told me that you paid every penny of that money and gave half of it to his family!!
Tell me, you gave me every penny!!
Right!!"
Li Qingshan's eyes were red, but he lowered his head...
"I...I thought he was dead...
I thought he was dead...
And...that's...
That’s more than one million, a beautiful knife!
More than one million US dollars in the 1980s..."
"Hold!"
Chen Nuo cursed loudly, suddenly stood up, kicked up, and kicked the coffee table in front of him over!
Staring at Li Qingshan fiercely: "I don't want to help you with this kind of work!"
