Chapter 42: The Five Tigers of Haizhou (1)
After that, Jiang Ningyue had two days of leisure. On October 12, Jiang Ningyue had just sat down in the office when Tian Jun called her out.
Jiang Ningyue asked curiously, "Brother Jun, what are you going to shoot today?"
Generally speaking, selecting topics and contacting interviewees are what text reporters should do, but Tian Jun is a person who can't sit still, so many topics are proposed by him.
“Illegal construction.”
After getting in the car, Tian Jun said, "Residents of Taoyuan Community in Shijing District came to us, saying that their east gate has been occupied by illegal construction for more than ten years."
"The gate to the residential complex is blocked?" Jiang Ningyue gasped. "Isn't this too outrageous?"
Shijing District, located in Haining's outer ring road, was a prominent industrial area a few years ago. However, due to industrial reforms over the years, many factories in Haining have relocated, and Shijing District has gradually fallen into decline.
After arriving in Shijing District, Jiang Ningyue looked at the desolate industrial park and couldn't help but sigh, "There's no one here now."
"Yes, almost everyone has moved." Tian Jun laughed. "Coming here a few years ago gave me a headache. It was so congested! There were trucks everywhere. Now there are at least 90% fewer trucks. But the road is getting worse and worse, like taking a boat."
Everyone came to Taoyuan Community.
The whistleblower was an old man who initially didn't want to be interviewed, fearing retaliation. After Jiang Ningyue promised to change her voice and mosaic it, she reluctantly said:
"Our community was established in 2006. At the time, it had four gates: east, south, west, and north. But since 2007, the east gate has been blocked. At first, we thought there was some construction going on, but they demolished our east gate and built a house on the sidewalk. Later, we learned that the building was the restaurant of the hotel next door. Why would a hotel occupy our community land to build a building? Now, when we go out to buy groceries, we have to go all the way to the south gate and the north gate, which means we have to walk several miles more every day!"
Jiang: "Have you not communicated with the local government?"
The old man said: "We have communicated with them and have been reporting it for years, but there has been no response and no demolition."
Jiang: "Is there a map of the neighborhood on your property deed?"
“Yes! Yes!”
The old man rummaged through his house and found the property deeds. He pointed to a map of the neighborhood and said, "Look, everything within the red line is our neighborhood. Where does that red line end? It ends at the green belt along the sidewalk. This means this is supposed to be shared land for all the residents in our neighborhood, but now it's become this hotel's private restaurant."
After leaving the old man's house, the two came to the east gate of the community. As expected, there was a concrete wall in front of them, with many fans and exhaust ducts on the wall.
It seems that not only are they occupying the land of the residents of Taoyuan Community, but they are also discharging oil into the community every day.
Afterwards, the two went to the neighborhood committee to understand the situation, and the neighborhood committee called in comprehensive law enforcement.
The neighborhood committee explained, "This is a historical issue. A district leader over a decade ago gave them the go-ahead because there were no civilized regulations regarding illegal construction back then. However, our neighborhood committee is aware of it now and is negotiating with the hotel. They've given them seven days to clean up the mess. If they don't, we'll demolish it according to the law."
Jiang Ningyue asked, "Which leader approved it?"
The neighborhood committee mentioned the name of a leader without hesitation. This leader had been expelled from the party and removed from office three years ago and was now working a sewing machine in prison.
Jiang Ningyue knew that she couldn't get any more information out of him, so the news ended here.
After the filming, it was already noon, so the three of them, including the driver, had a meal at a nearby roadside restaurant.
While eating, the system suddenly sounded a prompt.
System: [The 'News Clue' in the inventory has been automatically used because it has not been used for a long time.]
【Automatically search for nearby news clues.】
[Clues collected. Please proceed to an office building 300 meters northeast within 10 minutes.]
Jiang Ningyue looked at the system panel in confusion and suddenly felt baffled.
After a moment's thought, it occurred to her that the system had indeed given her a news clue a long time ago. If the system hadn't mentioned it today, Jiang Ningyue would have completely forgotten about it.
However, what news clues does the system provide?
Is it big news?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ningyue stood up and said, "Brother Jun, Master Li, you two eat first. I'm going to go out for a walk."
"This place is full of trucks. Why are you wandering around?" Tian Jun asked in confusion.
"Hey, I'm not a kid anymore."
Jiang Ningyue waved her hand casually and walked out of the store.
——
Ding Hong is 21 years old and is a migrant worker from a southwestern province in Haizhou.
There are many opportunities in big cities, but for someone like her who dropped out of junior high school and didn't even go to a technical school, it's hard to find a good job.
At first, Ding Hong came here with her cousin from her hometown. After her cousin returned to her hometown to get married, she did not go back but continued to stay in Haizhou.
However, she could not endure hardship or grievance, so she could neither work in a factory nor be a waitress.
Fortunately, Ding Hong has a good appearance. Over the years, she has been a lively girl and has met many people in society. In addition, with the current live broadcast platform, Ding Hong has also started a live broadcast. Although the monthly income is not much, it is enough for her to spend.
Unfortunately, after playing with eagles all his life, he was eventually blinded by an eagle.
Ding Hong met a man through the Internet who claimed to be one of the four tigers of the "Five Tigers of Haizhou".
The so-called 'Five Tigers of Haizhou' are five internet celebrities from Haizhou, the most popular of whom is the eldest brother, Haizhou Dahu.
This Haizhou Tiger now has over 8 million followers. His daily videos feature him arguing with others and helping his "netizens" settle disputes. He drives a Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover, and Rolls-Royce, and travels with a group of people every day.
Ding Hong certainly knew about the Five Tigers of Haizhou. Not only that, she also admired them very much.
Therefore, Ding Hong quickly abandoned her former playmates and turned to the arms of the Five Tigers of Haizhou.
However, his little trick played into the other party's hands, causing him to fall into an endless abyss.
During the following period, Sihu also took Ding Hong to meet "Big Tiger Brother". At the same time, under Sihu's inducement, Ding Hong borrowed up to 300,000 yuan in online loans. When the debt collection call came, Ding Hong was shocked.
How could Ding Hong afford to pay it back? Her family was so broke they couldn't even scrape together ten thousand yuan.
Afterwards, Brother Dahu personally talked to Ding Hong and told her that there was a profitable business. As long as she worked hard, she could earn at least 50,000 yuan every month, and she would not have to pay back the debt.
Ding Hong was moved.
After arriving at the scene, we found out that what Brother Hu meant by making money was actually live streaming and filming erotic videos on overseas online platforms.
Ding Hong was horrified. Although she had had many boyfriends, she had never thought of becoming a prostitute! Especially not one that anyone could see online.
However, as soon as Ding Hong refused, she was severely beaten by the group. A video of her, without showing her face, was also filmed and posted online overseas.
Ding Hong became completely obedient. She was already afraid of them, and now she dared not resist.
Afterwards, under the persuasion of her other "colleagues", she also slowly started live streaming.
The Five Tigers of Haizhou have three strongholds: a villa, a dilapidated three-story office building, and an old house on a remote mountain.
On weekdays, Dahu and his friends shoot videos in the villa.
The dilapidated office building has three floors. The first and second floors are the rest and activity areas for the gang of hooligans, while the third floor is the rest and work area for these "anchors".
That remote old house is the 'discipline area' for women who have just been recruited but do not agree to livestream. There, they will be subjected to inhumane treatment and filmed.
Ding Hong also learned that while the Haizhou Five Tigers may appear glamorous, their internet fame didn't actually bring them much money. He maintained so many followers, and maintaining his glamorous lifestyle required a massive amount of money. With no legitimate way to earn money, he could only rely on illegal means.
Initially, the Haizhou Five scammed women into paying through online dating scams and online loans. However, this method was slow and cumbersome. After stumbling upon overseas livestreaming, they began deceiving women into participating in their livestreams.
According to their logic, this is a live broadcast from overseas and does not violate domestic laws.
It is obvious that these young men do not know what territorial management and personal management are.
