Chapter 18: Strategies from the Heart
“Pah.”
"What, you want to take our money, do you know who we are? Do you know? Ah"
Hearing the noise, Zhou Anan, who was about to finish, walked quickly towards the last table of guests. From a distance, he saw a large tattoo on the other party, but he didn't know whether it was tattooed or pasted on.
Zhou Anan, who had noticed these young people with colorful clothes on before, couldn't help but frown when he heard the other party shouting out their names.
He didn't expect that his original plan of making the first pot of gold and then withdrawing would change on the third day.
"I'm sorry, my friend is still young and doesn't understand much. I don't know what to call you brothers?"
Pulling the red-faced Wang Rong, Zhou Anan asked the group of thugs in front of him with a smile.
Only those who can bend and stretch can be called a real man.
Following your heart is also a strategy.
"This is our boss, Brother Red Dragon, the leader of this night market street. Boy, have you asked Brother Red Dragon before you open a store on this land?"
A young man with dyed yellow hair stood up while biting a chicken wing, pointing at the shirtless young man next to him with a red dragon tattooed on his arm, his words filled with an inexplicable pride.
You have to know that everyone in Lizhou knows the reputation of Brother Red Dragon. It is an honor to be Brother Red Dragon's number one younger brother.
Eat and drink for free, and get money for free.
"Hello, Brother Red Dragon. I wonder if you like the taste of this crayfish?"
Nodding to Brother Red Dragon who was sitting in his original seat eating crayfish, Zhou Anan asked with a smile.
As for the other party's previous action of ordering four plates of crayfish, he could only feel a little pain in his heart.
Damn it, sooner or later that day will come. Never mind. That day will never come.
"Not bad, boss. I'll take care of your barbecue stall from now on."
After eating the last crayfish, the shirtless Red Dragon Brother nodded with satisfaction and said to the young boss in front of him.
The tone is casual and the wording is affirmative.
"Thank you, Brother Red Dragon."
After hearing the other party's matter-of-fact words, Zhou Anan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and her tone became a little weaker.
The other party doesn't mean to cause trouble, so everything can be settled.
"Since our brother Red Dragon is protecting us, shouldn't we hand it over?"
As the number one subordinate of Brother Red Dragon, Huangmao stood up at the right time and rubbed his fingers.
The boss was too embarrassed to speak, so as his younger brothers, they naturally had to step in and do the work.
"I wonder how much it will cost?"
Zhou Anan, who already knew it in her mind, did not resist and asked directly.
Anything that can be solved with money is not a problem.
"Not much, fifty a day."
The rules had been set long ago, and Huangmao said a number.
"Okay, I'll trouble Brother Red Dragon to take care of you in the future."
Hearing this number, Zhou Anan felt a pang of pain in her heart. She slowly took out a handful of five- and two-yuan coins from her pocket, counted out fifty and handed it over, then carefully put the remaining change away.
It's all pretend, but this is still one-tenth of his daily profit. To be honest, how can he not feel bad?
He had anticipated this and secretly put away all the larger amounts of cash. After all, no one could guarantee the moral integrity of these gangsters.
You must always be on guard against others, and never pin your hopes on the character of a gangster.
"What's the point of wasting so little money?"
The yellow-haired man grabbed the change, counted it in his hand, and then nodded to Brother Honglong.
There's nothing fancy about this small barbecue stall. It's just a small amount of change. How could he really be interested in it?
"I'm leaving."
After taking two bites of eggplant, Brother Red Dragon saw that things were going well, so he took his people away.
Seeing the group of thugs leave, Chen Yuehua in the cake shop let go of the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.
However, after seeing the boy calmly dealing with the gangsters, Chen Yuehua once again compared this outstanding boy with her own daughter, and became more determined to have a second child.
Anyway, they have only one daughter, and the policy has not been so strict recently, so having a second child will not affect the public office of their husband, Hu.
As for the key, it is better to give it to Zhou Anan as soon as possible. It is indeed a bit unsafe so late at night.
"Anzi, are we just going to pay fifty dollars a day for protection?"
It was not until the group of thugs walked away that Wang Rong, who was sweating profusely, asked unwillingly, and his trembling calves gradually regained consciousness.
From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen such an unreasonable gangster. He was so scared that he almost threw a stool at him.
After calming down, he felt a little sorry for Zhou Anan in addition to a little fear.
Fifty dollars a day, that's fifteen hundred a month. That's a huge amount of money, enough for him to buy a cool cell phone.
"It's okay. As long as they don't make trouble, this little money will be considered a treat."
Zhou Anan safely got through the small difficulty without any heartache. Fifty yuan was not an unacceptable amount of money considering the daily profit of five or six hundred yuan.
He's only doing this for one summer, just like buying an insurance policy.
Only when the other party dies naturally can there be a peaceful life.
"But they just ate more than four pounds of crayfish, which costs at least two hundred yuan in total."
“.”
After hearing what Wang Rong said, Zhou Anan's heart ached again.
Let him calm down and eat two crayfish slowly.
It was already twelve o'clock. Zhou Anan had already discussed with Aunt Chen and got the key to the cake shop. She put the money from selling drinks in and then locked the door.
On this day, despite the incidents of collecting protection fees and free dining, profits still increased again, reaching 588.6 yuan. Although the increase was not obvious, it was a good phenomenon.
At least, after paying the fifty dollars for protection, the profit wasn't too bad.
After all, although those gangsters eat a lot, the cost is not very high.
Except for the most expensive crayfish which costs about 18 yuan for six pounds, the rest of the miscellaneous costs only about 30 yuan.
Having experienced two lives, Zhou Anan was well prepared before opening the barbecue stall.
With such a good location and such a large flow of people, as long as someone has the connections, he or she can naturally do a lucrative business, but this location has been idle for so long.
This historical legacy has indeed brought harm to many ordinary people.
However, Zhou Anan was not afraid at all.
