Chapter 319 This is the Jianghu
A visiting card is a visiting card, but when you visit, you have to find two people you can talk to, and you have to bring all the necessary gifts, no matter how important they are.
So when Gu Ruilin came to the door, he was accompanied by two well-known local businessmen, one of whom was a earthworks man and was very wealthy.
There is another one who is engaged in trade, or to be more precise, a profiteer. He has been doing very well in recent years and is quite famous.
"Boss Lei, I've heard a lot about you."
"I've heard of Hui'an Lei Zhen's great name for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that he is indeed extraordinary, haha."
Gu Ruilin bowed with a smile on his face.
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Lei Zhen politely welcomed the three people in and asked the servants to make tea.
After sitting down, there were naturally a lot of polite words, such as "I've admired you for a long time" and "I introduced myself".
"Old Gu, I know why you're here, so let's not be polite here." Lei Zhen said straight to the point, "I think the underworld needs some cleanup. Saying that the boss works for the underworld is purely undermining the moral principles of the underworld. It's inappropriate."
"Boss Lei is right. This kind of behavior that goes against the moral code of the underworld is indeed inappropriate. So..."
Gu Ruilin was interrupted midway through his words.
"Any industry needs rules. The rules of the trade are nothing more than loyalty. If loyalty is lost, is the underworld still the underworld?"
Lei Zhen was quite serious and seemed very worried about this situation, so he lit a cigarette and continued to express his views.
"Our provincial capital is both large and small. If this unhealthy trend is allowed to continue, it will damage the entire ecological environment. If that happens, every day will be filled with fighting, affecting everyone's living environment."
Gu Ruilin was stunned. This was what he should have said, so how come the other party said it?
I'm here to act as a middleman, but now I feel like Lei Zhen is more like a middleman...
"Old Gu, do you think this will work?" Lei Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Your brokerage will organize it, and I'll provide the necessary funds. Bring all the gangs in the provincial capital together and set new rules."
“This, this…”
Gu Ruilin was stunned. He came here to cause trouble and never expected the other party to play such a trick.
"Organize a formal meeting to put an end to the current malpractices and determine the interests of all parties involved." Lei Zhen's eyes were gleaming as he spoke. "The provincial capital must remain in chaos, or else they'll be eaten alive without a trace left! Although I, Lei Zhen, am new here, I'm willing to work with Brokerage Hall on this matter. I just wonder if I'm qualified enough."
Throw the problem directly to the other party.
You are here to mediate, I will definitely cooperate and give you some advice. I am full of sincerity, right?
I'll provide the money, you guys will provide the people, and we'll organize a meeting together to put a stop to the current trend.
So the question is, do you think I am qualified?
This is a surprise attack, and it's uncomfortable no matter how I respond.
"We need to think carefully at this point..." Gu Ruilin said.
He didn't dare to answer, nor could he answer.
If Lei Zhen is qualified, then this guy will take advantage of the situation and act like the chief leader, making everyone think that this is a broker's push.
If he is not qualified, then he has offended people greatly. Not only will the purpose of the visiting card not be achieved, but things will probably get even more chaotic in the future.
This dragon crossing the river is not simple!
"It's urgent, why do we still need to take a long time to plan?" Lei Zhen laughed, "I'm afraid the longer we delay, the harder it will be to control."
"Boss Lei, you don't need to worry about this..."
"What should I worry about? This is something that happened on the provincial road. It actually has nothing to do with me, haha."
Lei Zhen interrupted Gu Ruilin again and turned to look at the two people who accompanied him.
"Mr. Niu, Mr. Han, if you need security services, you can come to me. Brother Security is dedicated to serving you."
"We are well-equipped, both financially and physically, and we have personnel and equipment. We have also participated in the suppression of the Taoyuan rebellion."
"The most important thing is that all fees are fair and transparent, and honesty is paramount..."
Turning around, Lei Zhen began to promote security services.
He just cleared himself of all charges. He was just a businessman, and his work in the security industry was legal and legitimate.
"If you need anything, definitely look for Mr. Lei."
“Yes, there are always opportunities for cooperation.”
“…”
The two of them were accompanying each other, so they would definitely not say much. If they were being sold, they would just respond.
"Old Gu, I don't really understand the martial arts world. I just have good intentions." Lei Zhen then said to Gu Ruilin, "If I said something wrong just now, please don't blame me. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well."
Draw a circle with your left hand, draw a circle with your right hand, and draw everything horizontally in the middle - Tai Chi!
"Mr. Lei, you're too modest. Everyone knows that you're all-powerful in Hui'an." Gu Ruilin said with a smile, "Under your rule, there's no underworld in Hui'an. No one knows the affairs of the underworld better than you, right?"
"Hahaha……"
Lei Zhen laughed and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Boss Lei, please forgive me, Gu Ruilin, for speaking frankly. Now that you've arrived in the provincial capital, it's only natural..."
"How about nature?"
When he was interrupted for the third time, Gu Ruilin's face changed, because it meant that he was not given any face at all.
"Mr. Lei, can you let me finish what I want to say?" Gu Ruilin said.
"It's already good enough that I let you talk, and you even need to finish. Who the hell do you think you are?" Lei Zhen pointed at his nose and cursed, "You should take good care of yourself when you're old. Working hard on cooking is also a way to cultivate your character. Why are you showing off all the time?"
He was smiling one second and turned hostile the next.
"Do you still think you're a gangster? You think you have some seniority and people give you respect wherever you go, so you start to imitate them and cause trouble?"
"Others give you face so that you can support them. Seniority is not something you can use to show off. I, Lei Zhen, have already given you a lot of face. You have to learn to hold it in high esteem."
"The underworld is indeed a world of human relationships, but it's built on the glare of swords and sabers. I originally wanted to chat with you as a businessman, but you insisted on saying I was a gangster - well, let's talk about gangs!"
I'm upset with you and I won't talk nonsense with you anymore.
Lei Zhen didn't care how ugly the other person's face looked. In his eyes, this guy was just an idiot.
"What strength do you have to deal with? Relying on your looks?" Lei Zhen sneered, "I didn't rely on my looks to take over Fanhua District and De'an District. I relied on my skills!"
"Let me tell you what the rules of the underworld are. The rules of the underworld are that the big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp. The boss who allows his subordinates to eat meat and drink wine to their heart's content is the rule."
"Come, let me show you my rules!"
Lei Zhen waved his hand, and a servant came over with a plate full of cash, twelve stacks in total.
He pulled out two stacks and threw them to Mr. Niu and Mr. Han respectively.
"Tea money, don't refuse it."
"Boss Lei, this is inappropriate."
"We don't accept gifts without merit, so we really can't take it."
The two of them quickly declined because the money was indeed difficult to get.
"My two brothers, you are both serious businessmen, and so am I." Lei Zhen said with a smile, "We will definitely cooperate in the future. Since you have come to my place today, I, Lei Zhen, cannot play dumb, haha."
After stuffing the money into their hands, Lei Zhen pushed the remaining 100,000 in front of Gu Ruilin.
"I was a little emotional just now, but I wasn't angry at the matter, not at anyone. Please accept the money for the tea. Don't refuse. Respecting the elderly and loving the young is my rule!"
“…”
Knock when you should knock, scold when you should scold, give when you should give, and grasp the importance of both urgency and severity throughout the process.
This is what the world of Jianghu is.
