Chapter 250 Regional Competition
Brother Kaixin was wearing a tie and a gray suit. He was sitting in a guest room of the Shanshou City Guesthouse, holding a cigarette between his fingers and exhaling smoke slowly from his mouth. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking and pondering, his mind wandering.
My little brother "Pig Head" stood beside the tea table, slowly peeling an apple with a fruit knife.
The guesthouse was built in the early 1960s and still has the layout of a tube-shaped building.
The walls of the room were mottled, wrinkled, yellowed and peeling, revealing large areas of base bricks.
The wooden furniture is covered with floral fabrics, and the tables are displayed with thermoses, enamel teapots, landline phones and notebooks.
Among the guesthouses in the mainland, the conditions in Shantou City are quite good.
At this time, there was a "click" sound outside the door, and a young man with a briefcase in his hand, smeared with hair oil, and a handsome appearance pushed the door and entered the guest room. He came in front of the two people, bowed slightly, and said in a businesslike manner: "The leader has a dinner party tonight, so he won't have time to meet you at the guesthouse."
Pighead paused with his fingers, the blade stopped, and half of the fruit peel fell to the ground.
Not even an apology was offered, and contempt was clearly written on his face.
When he happily put down his crossed legs, the cigarette was already burnt out, leaving a large amount of ashes.
"Secretary Fan, if the leader doesn't have time, it's okay to wait a day or two longer."
Fan Zhifeng is the administrative secretary of the top leader of Shantou City. In Shantou, he regards himself as the spokesperson of the leader. When the leader is around, he is the secretary; when the leader is not around, he is the leader!
He puffed out his newly grown belly, picked up his tone, and said, "I have something for you to do. Only if you do it well will you be qualified to see the leader."
"Please give your orders, leader." Kai Xin straightened his expression and stood up very respectfully, his eyes sparkling, he was energetic and his temperament was very sharp.
"Last month, a group of illegal traders from Hong Kong Island began smuggling pagers to the mainland. This has seriously affected the development of the electronics industry in Shantou City. If the smuggling of pagers can be stopped, the leaders will be very happy."
"Mr. Ding, I heard that your nickname is Happy Brother. Is that true?" Fan Zhifeng took out a cigarette slowly.
Ding Kailai took out his lighter tactfully, took two steps forward, and helped light it. When he put away the fire, he replied, "It's true, Secretary Fan."
Fan Zhifeng exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes full of meaning, and said, "It'd better be true."
Pighead watched Fan Zhifeng leave, stabbed the fruit knife into the wooden table, and cursed with an unhappy look on his face: "Big Circle Boy, you are so arrogant. You asked us to come to the mainland, but you didn't even want to see us. You sent a little brother to ask us to do things."
"What are we?"
Kai Xin put his hand on his brother's shoulder, his face heavy, and said, "We have to compete with Shen Xian Tang for business."
"Big brother." Pighead looked embarrassed. They had been brothers for more than ten years and they always said what they wanted to say: "It's not to shock the gods, it's just that there are only two or three hundred brothers who have returned to the nest."
"Including the brothers brought over by the fruit marketer, there are less than 600 people. The fighters can't even fill a bus. If we go to fight with Shenxiantang, we'll probably just be picking peaches for others."
"Whether it's worth it or not, it's up to you."
He happily lit up another cigarette, his weathered face showing obvious signs of aging.
Outsiders see him as one of the Shenghe Seven Stars. He had just been released from prison and had the support of the boss. He had a big base and was welcomed by many heroes in the underworld. He could be said to be in the limelight.
But no matter whether it was the boss of a society or the fruit stall owner who brought people over, they were all attracted by his relationship with the mainland.
If there is no such line, he, like all the gangsters released from prison, will have to choose between retirement and starting over. In fact, retirement is good, he never invited anyone from the mainland, but the vice president of Xinhua News Agency came to visit him personally, which has conveyed the attitude of the mainland.
I hope he can step up and take over the position of the head coach of Shenghe, and contribute to the comeback in the future.
It can be regarded as a support for him to continue to shine, and when the critical moment comes, we will definitely provide support.
Shenghe also wants him to come out and smuggle goods to the mainland to make a fortune. What about his former brothers? Some are wary of him, some return to support him, and everyone is forcing him to continue to come out and take on the responsibility!
But his relationship with the mainland has actually become very weak. Firstly, in seven years, things have changed and the person who contacted him at the beginning has been promoted to the north.
Secondly, the network of relationships needs to be maintained. After seven years of no contact, it is still hard to say whether people believe him or not.
You know, public to public, private to private. He can get the support of Xinhua News Agency by his merits in breaking the embargo, and he will have a backer when competing for the position of the chairman, and he will get preferential treatment in investment and loans in the mainland.
But it has nothing to do with smuggling or underground business.
Because Guangdong Province has a strong clan culture and local protectionism is prevalent, and the cake that can be divided has already been divided. Every piece of cake is fought back by others at the risk of their lives, and it is impossible to share it out for official friendship.
Therefore, Kai Xin is once again a person who has been put on the turret. Although he looks good on the outside, several parties want to test his character.
Fortunately, my former boss had a trusted secretary who was transferred to Shanshou to work, so I would give him some face if I contacted him. But there was a layer of relationship between us, so I couldn't even see the person when I visited him, and could only see the secretary's secretary!
As for the nonsense about the development of the electronics industry, it is a lie. It is obvious that the leader has a relative who has set his sights on the lucrative business of pagers.
Shenzhen and Shantou are both special economic zones within Guangdong Province. In terms of planning, one is to accept Hong Kong investment, and the other is to attract Chaoshan Chinese investment from all over the world.
The two special administrative regions are naturally in conflict with each other in their competition for resources, and sometimes even compete for underwater business.
In the 1980s, the four special administrative regions were all extremely poor. They used policies to dig for gold, but their methods were not wild and they could not go far.
No one is afraid of anyone.
"Your status in the martial arts world is not given by others, but earned by yourself."
"They have already made the offer, whether it's worth it or not, we have to do it." He said happily. Hesitating was never his style. Pighead sighed, "You have a pager, right? Check the warehouse of Shenxiantang and burn it down?"
Kai Xin glanced at him and said calmly, "Go to Taiwan to place orders and buy goods, and check the warehouse. Before doing anything, please understand the boss's needs."
"They don't really want to make Shenxiantang lose its job, they just want to make some money themselves and force Shenxiantang to leave Shanshou."
Pighead frowned, puzzled: "It's so complicated. You don't say it directly, but ask people to guess."
"What a fool!" Kai Xin cursed softly, but he was not angry. He had gotten used to it over the years.
If you tell a pig head a straightforward story, he can actually give some advice and act as a good advisor. But if you add some social conventions and twists and turns, he will immediately become confused and lose his way.
He is obviously a smart man, but because of his stubbornness, he became a thug.
Sometimes I really feel it’s a pity, it would be better to just be a little stupid.
end of the month.
After Zuoshou finished reporting on the progress of the mainland factory construction, Dapao, who was smoking next to him, immediately stood up and reported: "Brother Tang, the call machine factory in Taiwan called by fax, asking for a price increase for call machines!"
I saw that Jiang Hao, Ah King, Ah Xin, Niu Qiang and Fei Ying were all inside.
Even Shatouzi was sitting cross-legged, leaning against a leather sofa.
Everyone who is loyal knows that on the 28th of every month, the three major gangs in Mong Kok, Jordan and Causeway Bay will hold a small meeting with the second marshal on Shanghai Street.
Report expenses, submit figures, summarize, and plan.
Do everything.
The club meeting on the 30th became less and less interesting. Last month, Gao Laosen fell asleep at the meeting, and in the end everyone in the attic left.
He was the only one who slept until the afternoon.
At this time, Yin Zhaotang was slumped in the boss chair, his legs resting on the desk, holding a cigar in his hand, with a surprised expression. He asked unhappily, "Which factory is going to increase the price, or which new product is going to increase the price?"
