Lu Xiaobei's career is in full swing. The four projects of New Century Community located in the city center, New Century Shopping Mall, Daquan Longtang Security Company in the south of the railway, and New Century Hot Spring Resort Hotel in Chengbei District have been completed in almost a month.
Construction started at the same time within a few months. Except for the Daquan Longtang Security Company, which will be completed in a few months, the other three projects are expected to be completed and opened in 2000. Therefore, they are all named New Century.
When you see the name New Century, you know that it is under the Zhang Group, and the Zhang Group was founded by the underworld organization Daquan Longtang.
What Lu Xiaobei did was the first batch of gangsters in Guangyang City to transform from black to white in the form of enterprises. Colluding with government officials and monopolizing the economy of one side is how these gangsters make money.
Lu Xiaobei got up, and many gangsters in the market also followed Lu Xiaobei's example. They felt that they could not make much money by robbing money or being pickpockets. They were still worried about being caught by the police all day long, so they also
I want to take the right path.
Among them, Li Laoguai from Tiedaonan was the first to change his career. Although he was a little lame in his left leg, the more than 30 people under him were all healthy and strong young men. Li Laoguai saw the business opportunities in Tiedaonan.
Throughout Guangyang City, not only Lu Xiaobei's Zhang Group has launched four relatively large construction projects, but the government has also recruited some foreign businessmen to develop the city together. Some old residential buildings have been demolished.
Few relocated households had to carry their own furniture. At that time, each household had a lot of furniture, and they were unwilling to leave it behind, so it was impossible for a family to move it away. Many of them rode three-wheelers.
As soon as the strong men saw something to be demolished, they would go door-to-door to contact businesses and pay ten yuan for a trip to take care of the transportation.
Li Laoguai took a fancy to this business opportunity. He also asked his men to get a three-wheeler each whether they were stealing, robbing, or going to the flea market to buy and sell. The main reason was which house had the words "
After hearing the word "demise", a group of them rode a tricycle over there to wait for business.
Li Laoguai never takes the initiative to solicit business door-to-door. He feels that the business that is catching up is not business. Although he is a member of society, he cannot spend so much money just for such a small amount of money.
Li Laoguai and his team also gave a rustic but not foreign name, called Laoguai Moving Company. This was the first moving company established in Guangyang City. However, in the early days of its establishment, the moving company adopted unfair practices.
way of doing business.
As long as the demolition community is occupied by the Laoguai moving company's fleet, other laborers are not allowed to come. Once they come to steal business, they will be beaten up by Li Laoguai and his gang.
Li Laoguai and his gang came out to haul goods. They had machetes attached to the ground of their tricycles. If they encountered a fight and had to fight, they would take out their machetes and chop them. If they encountered one or two people trying to grab a job, they would go up and scare them.
To scare someone, they really don’t want it to be over after just two blows. They also pay attention to making money by being friendly and don’t want to make things too big.
Li Laoguai is making money legally, but his illegal operation fully possesses the potential of a gangster. He has monopolized most of the moving business in Tiedao South, Guangyang City, and the moving price is too high. It costs ten yuan for a move.
Their Laoguai moving company charges 20 per truck. If others charge 20, they dare to charge 40.
And you have to use them. If you move and find someone to find a car, and they find out, all your furniture and everything will be destroyed. This kind of forced buying and selling is really forced, but no one can control Li Laoguai.
This group of people.
More than 30 people have made a lot of money using this method, and their business is getting more and more prosperous. Now Li Laoguai is no longer the gang of beggars who blocked roads and robbed people on the streets at night. They are now real movers.
The company makes legitimate money, but it does illegal things.
The city has intensified its efforts in construction and construction is happening everywhere. In addition to Li Laoguai and his gang trying to monopolize the moving business, there are also many new organizational forces in the city. Among the new generation, represented by Wang Boyang, nicknamed Laoyang
.
Lao Yangbing is not old. He is a student who has just dropped out of high school for more than a year. He has a goatee on his face, so people in the society call him Lao Yang. Lao Yang is gentle and wears a pair of glasses.
With such an appearance, no matter how you look at it, he is studying to be the best in the class, but this old sheep has been at the bottom of the exam all year round, always ranked first from the bottom, and has never even passed the second to last exam.
This kid was a nuisance when he was in school. Guangyang City No. 3 Middle School, he was the number one in fights. Later, because he organized the most serious fight in Guangyang No. 3 Middle School since its founding in the school playground toilet, he
Honorable dismissal.
The fight seemed to be over a small matter in a room. At that time, Lao Yang went to the bathroom to smoke. A new transfer student who didn't know Lao Yang asked Lao Yang to borrow a cigarette. Lao Yang gave him one, but the boy didn't say thank you.
.Lao Yang is the kind of person who urgently needs respect from others. As soon as he saw the transfer student finish smoking and then turn around and leave, he got angry and kicked him. As soon as Lao Yang made a move, a bunch of his brothers also rushed up. Thirty
He walked away one kid at a time, and finally pushed the kid into the manure pit, where he almost drowned.
When he was a transfer student, he was fished out of the manure pit by firefighters and sent to the hospital for rescue. It took him three days to recover.
After that incident, Lao Yang knew that he couldn't stay in school anymore, so he simply left and dropped out of school automatically. After dropping out, he didn't even know how to go home. He knew that his father would beat him up when he went back.
He came here after being beaten by his father, and he had no thought of that family for a long time. After dropping out of school, he carried more than thirty yuan with him and ate and drank on the street.
Sometimes when he ran out of money, he would take a brick and go to the gate of the junior high school to steal money from the children. Sometimes he would also go to the high school. When he met someone who was easy to bully, he would successfully borrow money. When he encountered a tough situation, he would call someone over.
, just to receive a nasty beating.
Everyone is slowly tempered and grown up in the process of success and failure. Lao Yang also grew up and got to know many bad young people like him in society. Seven or eight people left.
Together, we go to the school gate to have a meal, and as soon as school is over, we target the target and carry out the robbery. With more people and strength, the chances of success are increasing, and the money stolen is also increasing.
Later, these boys were no longer limited to the school gate. They began to look for other ways to make money. When they demolished the building, there were a lot of iron wires and the like. The iron could be sold for money. If a six-story building
If all the iron is collected together, it can be sold for a lot of money.
In the midst of the demolition of a dilapidated building in the west of the city, the government wants to build a playground here. The residents have been resettled and the dilapidated building is almost demolished. Among the ruins, a group of rag sellers are looking through the rubble with hammers and shovels.
Linking iron bars or bars in cement walls.
Lao Yang and seven or eight of his brothers also rode over on several tricycles. When they arrived, they saw that a group of rag collectors had picked up a lot of scrap metal, and everyone's tricycles were full.
Lao Yang and the others became jealous when they saw it. This kid ran to a piece of stone and shouted: "Don't fucking pick it up, these scrap metals are all ours!"
People who sell rags thought that this kid was crazy, and no one paid attention to him. They all picked it up and didn't take it seriously. The old sheep was ignored by everyone, and the kid suddenly became anxious. He picked up a stone from the ground and ran away from him.
The nearest man selling rags yelled: "Stop fucking picking it up, do you even hear me?"
The rag picker thought the man was crazy and cursed: "Go away, this is not yours, I will pick it up!"
As soon as he said the word "pick up", Lao Yang hit the rag picker on the head with a brick. The rag picker was lying on the ground and twitching all over. The boy hit him too hard.
At this moment, all the rag pickers saw this scene. More than ten young men selling rags stood up, and those holding hammers and shovels rushed over like old sheep. When Lao Yang and his brothers came, everyone
He didn't bring it with him, but when he saw this group of people rushing up, he didn't hesitate. Seven or eight brothers picked up the stones and rushed forward.
More than a dozen rag sellers beat Lao Yang and several others to a bloody head. Seven or eight brothers were lying on the ground, and the blood stained the stones red.
The shovel hit them mercilessly, without any intention of stopping, as if they were going to beat these people to death. Lao Yang and the others couldn't run away even if they wanted to, so they could only curl up on the ground and hold their heads, enduring the shovel hitting themselves.
of pain.
But at this moment, a group of about thirty people with machetes rushed over from a distance and began to chop at the rag sellers. The rag sellers were beaten by the sudden machete brigade.
They fled in all directions, leaving behind the tricycle and the iron bars they had worked so hard to collect.
After the rag seller ran away, Lao Yang and the others slowly climbed up from the ruins this time, covered with dirt and lime powder. A middle-aged man limped up to Lao Yang and stretched out his hand to pull him
At this moment, Lao Yang felt that these hands were extremely warm to him.
"Who are you? Why did you save us?" Lao Yang asked.
"I saw you when you first arrived here. I can still remember everything just now. I think you are persistent and ruthless enough. I want to subordinate you guys so that we can make money together in the future." The lame man said.
Lao Yang looked at the lame man, and then at the more than thirty men holding machetes standing behind him. He felt that this kid might be unusual, maybe he was from the underworld. Lao Yang dreamed of joining the underworld, and now he finally had this opportunity.
.
“May I ask your eldest brother’s name?”
"I have no name, and everyone on the street calls me Li Laoguai." Li Laoguai said.
"You! That's Li Laoguai, whose name I have admired for a long time! Thank you for helping us, my brothers and I are willing to follow you!" Lao Yang shouted happily.
Li Laoguai also smiled and said: "Originally, we came here to collect scrap metal, but we don't want these scrap metals anymore. We will keep them all for you. This is a meeting gift from me, Li Laoguai, to your brothers."
Not far away, the tricycle left behind by the junk seller when escaping was filled with scrap metal, and it was parked there quietly. On the opposite road, a Crown car passed by at high speed...
