Chapter 42: Using Money to Create Momentum

There is meat in every link and everyone gets money.

From industry and commerce to taxation, from supervision to urban management, even areas that have nothing to do with environmental protection and education have all gotten a taste of the action.

Not to mention the powerful departments, the whole family, young and old, can win a prize, and there will definitely be a big prize. Some will go home with a few gold bricks, and some will drive a Santana home directly.

The staff during the lottery were also happy. They received high salaries every day and received a big red envelope of 2,000 yuan after the work was done. They all wished they could continue to draw for another ten or eight years.

Lei Zhen was also very generous to his subordinates. In addition to rewarding them according to their merits, he also gave each of his subordinates a few hundred yuan for drinks.

Although this amount of money is small, it caused quite a stir on the street.

In this day and age, protection fees are paid by the younger brothers to their superiors. I have never seen anyone give money to the younger brothers, and it is such a large amount at a time.

So many people came here to invest in Nancheng.

"Brother Hailong, we would like to meet Brother Zhen. Could you introduce us?"

"Brother Monkey, could you give me a clue? I'd be so grateful!"

“…”

Behind the crazy spending is a new round of fermentation. In just one week, Lei Zhen's fame has reached its peak, directly overshadowing many famous figures.

It even makes people forget that he has just risen.

…

The celebration banquet was extremely lively. Lei Zhen was the protagonist of the night. He went back and forth between tables and drank quite a bit of wine, even feeling drowsy in the middle.

By the time it was over, most people had left.

Lei Zhen couldn't find Han Shuixian and felt unsatisfied. He rubbed his face hard and simply went back to the roller skating rink.

With the end of the lottery, the roller skating rink seemed much emptier, but the things in the warehouse had not been taken out, and some guys were still guarding it.

"Brother Zhen!"

"Brother Zhen!"

“…”

The younger brothers who were on night watch all said hello.

Lei Zhen nodded and walked into Xiao Ran's room.

This is a room specially set aside for her to work. It is relatively quiet, with a bed and a bathroom, and no one will disturb her.

"Brother Zhen, you're back."

Xiao Ran made a sweet sound, looking at Lei Zhen with joy in her eyes, and a shy look appeared on her pretty face.

"sit."

Lei Zhen sat on the bed and patted his thigh.

"Um."

Xiao Ran lowered her head and sat down obediently.

"How's the accounting going?" Lei Zhen said, breathing heavily from the alcohol.

"A rough estimate shows that after deducting various expenses, there's a remaining balance of 110 million." Xiao Ran reported, "We're still working on the exact figure, but the discrepancy won't be too large..."

She suddenly bit her lip, her body trembled slightly, and her breathing became heavy because a hand reached in.

"Do you know why I want to spend so much money?" Lei Zhen asked.

"No, I don't know..." Xiao Ran said in a trembling voice: "But I know you have your own reasons..."

The girl was very sensitive and could not bear the teasing at all. Her delicate body fell limply in Lei Zhen's arms.

“Only by spreading your money can you gather more people around you; only by spreading your fame can you build momentum faster!”

"Hui'an City is divided into South City, North City, East City, and West City, as well as the power plant and machinery factory... For so many years, they have been clearly divided, but I want to make them all the same, and put them under my control!"

Lei Zhen's eyes were fierce and his whole body was sharp.

Today he spent money to build his reputation and momentum, and the next step was to annex various territories and complete the task of dominating Hui'an.

So you have to be arrogant and presumptuous!

"Um."

Xiao Ran nodded vigorously, her eyes dazed.

"Xiao Ran, you can help me a lot—" Lei Zhen pinched her chin and said, "So you have to go to school. When you come back after graduation, you can help me deal with many things."

"Um!"

"Okay, haha."

Lei Zhen let go of Xiao Ran, stood up and walked out with a smile.

"Brother Zhen, please take me!" Xiao Ran suddenly said excitedly: "I like you, I really like you so much!"

like?

Lei Zhen's body trembled. Did he only want Xiao Ran's love?

No, what he wants is Wushuang Buhuan!

But now is not the time yet. Appropriate rejection will help with the final acceleration.

Of course, the main reason was that I was drunk.

…

Hiring people, hiring people like crazy!

If you want to make a lot of money, you need to have many brothers.

How many people can you win over with loyalty? You have to spend money. Once you spend money, you will have brothers all around you.

Early in the morning, several thugs came to the roller skating rink and knelt down as soon as they saw Lei Zhen.

"Brother Zhen, I'm Chen Kui from Laoshi Street. Today, I'd like to bring my brothers to join your sect. I hope Brother Zhen will grant my wish!"

"Are you Chen Kui?" Lei Zhen laughed. "I've heard of your name. You're considered a tough guy in the Old Stone Street area."

Shen Kui showed a look of joy.

"Brother Zhen, as long as you are willing to accept us, we brothers will be yours from now on. We will go through fire and water for you!"

"Why did you vote for me?" Lei Zhen stared at him.

"Follow you and you'll have meat to eat!" Chen Kui shouted, "A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit. If I, Chen Kui, set my sights on a wolf, I must follow it!"

Overnight, everyone on Huizhou Road knew that Lei Zhen was a wolf, and a wolf that could lead his brothers to eat meat together.

It doesn't matter how you mix it up, why not follow the wolf?

"Haha, well said. I like your honesty." Lei Zhen laughed and said, "But I don't accept anyone. You can follow whichever of my disciples you like, haha."

"Brother Xie Zhen, from today on, the lives of our brothers belong to you!"

As soon as we accepted this wave of people, another wave arrived.

Similarly, after seeing Lei Zhen, he knelt down immediately to show his attitude, hoping to eat meat and drink wine with him.

Most of those who came to seek refuge were somewhat famous, but either they were not as good as the boss they followed, or they were hanging around in the corners with a dozen or twenty people.

He has no money and no power.

Let’s just invest together, after all, Lei Zhen has money.

"Master, are we going to take them all?" Leopard Head asked worriedly, "There are so many people we don't know their backgrounds. If we take them all in, it might be hard to manage them."

"Take them all!" Lei Zhen said firmly, "Not just those who come to me for help, but those who take the initiative to do so. What I want now is people!"

With this attitude, not only did the thugs from the urban area crowd into the South City, but the thugs from the surrounding counties, districts, mines, and towns also joined in.

In just three days, Lei Zhen recruited more than 2,000 people at once, and his strength instantly expanded tenfold, making the other bosses in Hui'an feel unprecedented pressure.

It was obvious that the power second only to the Wenwu Company in Hui'an had appeared, and the way it appeared had caught everyone by surprise and unprepared...
