Chapter 316 Let the Bullets Fly for a While
After De'an District was taken, Hu Mengyang did not hesitate. After completely stabilizing the situation, he came to Lei Mansion with the money confiscated from the house.
That's the rule.
Lei Zhen helped him get to the position, and if he doesn't understand this rule, he might have to get out one day.
I am ruthless, but this Mr. Lei is even more ruthless and acts more decisively.
Who could have imagined that Yuan Datou would die so suddenly? The boss of De'an District was completely defeated without any resistance.
"Bang!"
A box full of valuables was placed in front of Lei Zhen. It was much more than what Jin San had looted before, which was enough to show Yuan Shikai's achievements in making money.
"Uncle Zhen, these are some of Yuan Datou's belongings. There are still many that have not been cleared out. I will bring them to you after they are all converted into cash." Hu Mengyang said.
"Count out five hundred thousand."
"yes!"
Hu Mengyang counted out five stacks of cash, exactly 500,000.
"I'll take the 500,000." Lei Zhen said, "The rest is yours. Divide it among your men as you see fit. Just don't let my men go hungry."
"Master Zhen, this is a gift to you, please be sure to accept it."
"Alright, I know you understand the rules." Lei Zhen waved his hand and said, "I've been in this business for so long, and I've always understood one thing: if your subordinates are extremely hungry, the first one to eat is the boss, haha."
He won't accept these, because there aren't many of them in total.
The provincial capital is different from the lower levels. The underworld here doesn't have many ways to make money, because many of the profitable jobs are in the hands of people with connections, big and small.
In a sense, the underworld in the provincial capital are just wage earners who follow the money and power, and many times they are not as comfortable as the bosses below.
For example, the brothers Gao Wen and Gao Wu have a lot of resources in Hui'an City and get a lot of lucrative jobs.
"Let the word spread—" Lei Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Let the second and third in command of each district know that they are starving. Let them know what kind of boss they should follow to get the big meat."
"Mr. Zhen, what do you mean?" Hu Mengyang's eyes lit up.
"Being a troublemaker, haha." Lei Zhen laughed. "Profits are the most important thing when you're out here. If the boss doesn't give you enough to eat, don't blame me for pulling out a knife and causing chaos among them."
"Mr. Zhen is awesome!" Hu Mengyang gave a thumbs up.
This move is very insidious, but it also takes advantage of the situation.
No boss can treat everyone equally, and it is impossible to distribute the benefits to everyone. Even if the second child is satisfied, the third child will have nothing to say, but can you guarantee that others will not complain?
Even if they have no complaints, there are still many younger brothers who want to stand out. Can you suppress them and let them lie down quietly?
"Everyone thinks they have made the greatest contribution. Maybe they'll respect the boss, but who respects whom?" Lei Zhen continued, "Let the rumors fly for a while—"
Hu Mengyang nodded. Although he knew that once this news got out, it would definitely affect his reputation, there was nothing he could do.
Since you have chosen to be Lei Zhen's person, you must do as he says.
"Is there any pressure?" Lei Zhen asked.
"No." Hu Mengyang shook his head.
"Ignore the rumors. Who will say anything after a while? People care about profit, not character. Only when you block someone's path to wealth will they criticize you on a moral level."
"If you encounter such a person, you should know what to do even if I don't tell you. Okay, get to work. Then we'll have a good chat with Chen Kui later. Setting up a security company is a big deal."
"Yes, Master Zhen!"
Watching Hu Mengyang leave, Lei Zhen lit a cigarette and started smoking.
He knew very well that this was not a fair thing to do. Although he was the one who killed Yuan Datou, he had to put the blame on Hu Mengyang in the end.
But the problem is that if the younger brother wants to make progress, he has to take the blame, otherwise what is the point of being a boss?
Whether Hu Mengyang is fully trusted depends on whether he is willing to take the blame. Otherwise, the boss of De'an District can be replaced at any time.
…
The provincial capital has six districts: Fanhua District, De'an District, Wangbei District, Santun District, Linhang District, and Zhonggu District.
In addition to the Fanhua District and De'an District that were quickly taken, there are four other districts, among which Zhonggu District can be excluded for now.
This is the power of the Haitian Hotel, save it for last.
As for Wangbei District, Santun District and Linhang District, the bosses of these three places became more nervous than ever before, not because Fanhua District and De'an District were successively taken over by Lei Zhen.
It was because Jin San and Hu Mengyang had acquired enormous wealth, so they killed the bosses of the two places and took over all of their wealth.
Let the boss work for me - this sentence became the most fashionable street proverb in the provincial capital within just a few days.
"Fuck it, you follow the wolf to eat meat, and the dog to eat shit. Look at Mr. Lei's pattern, he feeds his little brother meat in big mouthfuls!"
"I want to eat meat too. I've been here for so long, and I've never missed a tough battle, but I still don't have enough money to spend!"
"Think about it. If you want to eat meat with Mr. Lei, you have to be qualified..."
Those who are dissatisfied and those who want to get promoted are all talking about this in private.
Overthrow the boss, and everything he has will be yours, whether it's money or women, everything will be yours.
As long as you are willing to work with Mr. Lei, he doesn't care about this at all.
The bosses of Wangbei District are Zhang Haigui and Shi Houzi, the boss of Santun District is Pan Feng, and the bosses of Linhang District are Liang Jiefang and Li Degang.
They are now on pins and needles and rarely get together to discuss how to deal with this matter.
"I feel like there's a knife at my back every day. I can't eat or sleep well. I'm afraid some idiot will stab me."
"Who says it's not true? I feel like the way my subordinates look at me is different..."
As the boss, I have people I trust around me.
But with Lei Zhen's interference, they felt that everyone around them was very suspicious and was staring at their position.
Being a boss is already very suspicious, and after being played like this, he has to worry all the time about whether his subordinates will turn against him.
"Lei Zhen has broken all the rules. If this continues, morality will become the cheapest thing."
"Boss Shi is right. This bastard has completely destroyed the moral code of the martial arts world. How are we going to survive in the future?"
“…”
If propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are the shackles that have bound the lower classes from moving forward for thousands of years, then the code of conduct in the underworld is the shackles that lock up the younger brothers who want to move to the top.
When you are in this world, righteousness is the most important thing.
What to do and what not to do has been taught clearly since the day I came in, and I believe that being righteous and upright is the most righteous thing.
In fact, this is not wrong. The code of conduct in the underworld is respectable at all times, but the problem is that most people do not understand the underlying logic behind it.
How can the boss keep his position if he is not bound by the ethics of the underworld?
Now, Lei Zhen has shattered the moral code of the underworld and injected the rules of capital operation, which has completely disrupted the underworld in the provincial capital.
Tell everyone: The little brother is hungry, and the first one to eat is the boss!
