On the one hand, they are afraid of being troubled by those ruffians, and on the other hand, they dream of getting rich.
Shopkeeper Chen was in a dilemma for a moment.
Fang Zhengyi folded his arms and looked at him cheerfully.
He was not in a hurry. One look at Shopkeeper Chen's expression told him that he was used to being bullied and he couldn't react for a while.
If you think clearly, you can make wise choices.
Secondly, the government’s credibility is too poor, and there is no concept of serving the people in this era.
The police are just there to maintain stability.
It is normal that no one is interested in a small shop like Manager Chen's, which is often blackmailed. There may be collusion between officials and bandits.
But Li Yuanzhao on the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
He's clearly here to do good things, so why is this old man still hesitating?
He walked towards Shopkeeper Chen and shouted impatiently, "Old man, what the hell are you thinking? Do you think you can afford to offend us?"
"You are afraid of them, but not us!"
Shopkeeper Chen laughed twice and said nothing.
In terms of strength, I can’t compare to you, but I can’t stand the fact that I’m not clean enough, right?
You are strong, but you don’t disturb others. I am not afraid!
After waiting for a while, Fang Zhengyi became impatient and said, "Well, since Shopkeeper Chen can't make up his mind, I'll change to another one. Even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have a sense of justice."
"The price for this publicity of several thousand people is five taels of silver now, but it will not be this price in the future."
"Then...we'll leave first."
After saying that, he pulled Li Yuanzhao up and ran away.
Shopkeeper Chen quickly stopped Fang Zhengyi and said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Sai is right! How can I not cherish the opportunity to make a fortune given by the two nobles? Go for it!"
"Then I'll tell you everything!"
"There are three biggest gangs of thugs in the neighborhood. Originally, these three gangs took turns to extort money and were very aggressive in collecting it... But since the master and the young master came to the neighborhood, these three gangs have disappeared for a while."
"After they reappeared, only one group came to collect money from me. Later, I learned that during the time they disappeared, the three groups had reached a verbal agreement. They divided the area and collected money from different stores."
"The worst ones are the ones who are responsible for collecting money from small stalls and shops. The leader is called Black Snake... He is the one who comes to my shop every month to extort money."
"The second oldest is called Chen Meng, and he is responsible for collecting money from restaurants and big stores."
"The boss of the biggest group is called Ji Erye... He is in charge of gambling houses and brothels..."
Shopkeeper Chen said with a bitter face: "It's not like there haven't been people from the government investigating before, but after a while of clearing them out, this group of people would pop up again from nowhere."
"Over time, everyone knows that this group of people cannot be eliminated, so no one cares about them anymore."
"Mr. Li, you must help me! I have parents and children to take care of, and they all depend on this shop for their livelihood!"
Fang Zhengyi had never expected that his arrival in Banshanfang would help those gangsters become professional.
But when he saw the bitter and resentful look on Shopkeeper Chen's face, he couldn't help but say, "Don't worry! You've seen the recent changes in the market."
"These are all thanks to Master Li. With Master Li here, we have a bright future!"
"It won't be long before Master Li disciplines those hooligans and they disappear without a trace!"
"Don't be afraid. If anyone of those people blackmails you again, just come to the office and find us. There's no need to get into a conflict with them."
"Come on, hand over the silver first!"
Shopkeeper Chen looked at Fang Zhengyi suspiciously, and suddenly felt something was not right.
How come... he seems to be able to ask for money more easily than those gangsters?
But even thinking so, he still hesitantly took out five taels of silver and handed it over.
Fang Zhengyi swept his hand across his palm, and the silver miraculously disappeared.
"Okay! I'll help you spread the word with your money, but I can only make one. What do you want to choose?"
Shopkeeper Chen glanced around the room.
Then he smiled and said, "Can you just help me promote the entire store?"
"Haha, you're smart, Lao Chen. No problem! Wait for our good news."
Afterwards, Fang Zhengyi and Li Yuanzhao walked out of the shop.
Li Yuanzhao felt somewhat happy in his heart. During the time he had been leading the medical team, many people looked at him differently.
But he always felt that something was missing.
I have just found the feeling now, and it seems that what I am missing is a tough battle!
Of course, there is a sense of accomplishment in doing things, but he wants to be a general!
It’s good to practice with the gangsters!
So the other party excitedly said: "Old Fang, when are we going to start?"
Fang Zheng glanced at him and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Do you know where those people are? And are you sure what Shopkeeper Chen said is reliable? Let's go to a few more places to ask."
Li Yuanzhao also reacted and nodded repeatedly.
Afterwards, the two of them went to several shops and asked one by one, and the results were almost the same as what Manager Chen said.
However... simply picking someone up, beating him up and throwing him into jail probably won't have much effect.
What should be done after those things come out is still the same.
After all, there have been severe crackdowns before, and after a campaign, this group of people will still emerge like mushrooms after a rain.
This matter requires more careful planning, so it is better to think about solving the advertising issue first.
After all, it is a source of income with great potential and can also help small businesses increase their income.
After returning to the office, Fang Zhengyi sat opposite Li Yuanzhao and picked up a piece of paper and handed it to Li Yuanzhao.
"Your Highness, this is my next plan."
