"What's the matter?" Li Feng drank the wine in the bottom of the glass in one gulp, grimacing at the spicy taste.
"I just want to ask you, how can you make money?" Sheng Yanjun asked cautiously, without any of the self-righteousness he showed when he argued with Hui Ping at home.
"This..." Li Feng didn't expect Sheng Yanjun to ask this, and he didn't know how to answer him for a moment.
"Is it hard to say?" Sheng Yanjun felt somewhat disappointed when he saw him hesitate.
"It's not that it's hard to say... I'm just afraid that you will look down on our profession." Li Feng laughed at himself
"How could that be? Being able to make money is a skill. How can it be looked down upon? People like us who stay at home are looked down upon." Sheng Yanjun's mind was filled with the looks and whispers of the people in the village and the transport factory.
"There's nothing bad to say. The black market in the town used to be run by the boss, known as Mr. Sheng. He moved his headquarters to the south to develop, and the market here is handed over to the people below. The main force has gone with them, so there's a shortage of people here. Sometimes I go along to make a profit from the difference." Li Feng said easily, but his eyes kept looking at Sheng Yanchuan, trying to see something from Sheng Yanjun's expression, but the ending still disappointed Li Feng...
"Second Master Sheng?" Sheng Yanjun frowned when he heard this. Li Feng thought he knew something and was about to ask more questions when Sheng Yanjun poured a basin of cold water on him.
"What a coincidence, his last name is also Sheng, but I don't go to the black market very often, so I haven't heard of such a person. Is he very powerful?"
Sheng Yanjun's question made Li Feng want to roll his eyes. You are your own brother, and you are asking me here. You don't want to report such a good thick thigh, but you ask me how to make money... If Li Feng didn't know that the two of them didn't get along, I'm afraid he would have said a few words to scorn Sheng Yanjun. But no matter what he thought, he would never offend Sheng Yanjun. After all, they are brothers, and they will definitely stand together against anything...
"Not bad, I heard he's doing well in both the black and white worlds in the south..." Li Feng had worked there for a while after all, and all the people on the black market had long been under Chaoyang's name, so it was not difficult for Li Feng to know Chaoyang's scale in Shanghai. Not to mention that the people left here to manage were all brought up by Dongzi, and they were all his trusted confidants. If it weren't for his wife and children being here, they would have gone to Shanghai long ago.
As Li Feng was talking, he was thinking about Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao. Sheng Yanchuan ventured into the black market and traded goods all over the country. Capital means power. In that era of hunger, those who had money and goods were the bosses, so Sheng Yanchuan had a say in front of those local tyrants. In addition, in recent years, individual business has been legalized, and those local tyrants who rely on their old capital have a tendency to follow Sheng Yanchuan. If Sheng Yanchuan had not resolutely stayed away from illegal things such as prostitution, gambling, and drugs, I'm afraid he would be able to walk sideways across the country now...
What's more... Sheng Yanchuan married a wife from Nanqiao... Her parents, brother and sister-in-law... none of them are easy to deal with. With the help of his family, he directly took over the Shanghai market...
Li Feng thought about it and despised Sheng Yanjun even more... Is this guy blind???
"He's so powerful, but he's in the south. What else can we do here?" Sheng Yanjun didn't understand what this business could do.
"Trading goods, shipping goods from the north to the south, shipping goods from the south to the north, making a profit from the price difference, and making money by trading goods from the south to the north."
"It sounds simple." Sheng Yanjun thought it was not difficult, but Li Feng sneered and glanced at Sheng Yanjun.
"It's not that easy. I'm just telling you a rough outline. If it were that easy, wouldn't anyone be able to do it? How come you have the widest route? From sourcing the goods to transporting them to shipping, there are a lot of things to pay attention to. Not to mention that people don't want the goods if they're too little, you'll have to run back and forth in vain and won't be able to make up for the time difference. I'm afraid the goods will just rot in their hands. Even if you succeed in getting them there, do you really think anyone there will buy your goods? The local market is controlled by someone. I'm afraid that you'll go in with the goods, and only you'll come out."
Sheng Yanjun was shocked when he heard what Li Feng said, but it was not because Li Feng was trying to scare him. In those days, there was no Skynet like in later generations, so it was extremely difficult to solve the case. Many of those local tyrants valued money more than their lives. If you went there and took money from their pockets, how could they tolerate you? Sometimes it was already good enough for people to get out. There were many cases of gangs eating gangs.
"Then this Mr. Sheng is really capable. I guess he is not young anymore." Sheng Yanjun sighed. It turned out that they have the same surname, Sheng, but there is such a big difference.
Sheng Yanchuan is indeed capable, courageous and determined. He risked his life when he was a teenager to support his family and earn a dowry for Sheng Yanjun. However, his brother thought he was neglecting his family. Li Feng felt sorry for the second master and felt that he had thrown the wine away. His tone of voice was not very good.
"He's not very old, but he's really capable. He started out in his teens and is probably only around 30 now. He risked his life for it." Li Feng said this with a bright look and full of respect. At first, he didn't know that Mr. Sheng was Sheng Yanchuan. He only learned about this after Sheng Yanchuan's wedding.
At that time, Dongzi went to Sheng Yanchuan's wedding and called him "Brother Chuan" all the time. The guys who followed him called Sheng Yanchuan "Second Brother" and were extremely respectful to the Sheng family. At first, Li Feng was a little suspicious of Dongzi and his friends. After all, the guys from the transportation factory were as fierce as mountains and had fierce looks on their faces. But then he thought that maybe they were traveling all the time and that's why they were like that to protect themselves, so he didn't think much about it.
Later, when he was really out of money, he bought some wild animals from the mountains and wanted to sell them on the black market. But he ran into Dongzi as soon as he entered the black market. Dongzi didn't know Li Feng, but Li Feng knew Dongzi. Dongzi looked at Li Feng and continued to take people to look for them. Li Feng was cautious and didn't even bother to sell his work. He took out a handful of peanuts from his pocket and walked to the person who collected money at the door of the black market and started talking.
"Brother, who was that guy just now? He looked so impressive." Li Feng stuffed a handful of peanuts into the man's hand and asked as if he was chatting.
"That man, our second in command in the black market, Brother Dong." The man at the door looked at the peanuts in his hand, which were not of very good quality, and was a little disgusted, but a small mosquito is still meat, so he stuffed the peanuts into his pocket and said as he looked at the figure walking away.
"Second in command? Who is the first in command...?"
"The black market boss, Mr. Sheng, is not very old, but he is definitely this one!" The man said, giving a thumbs up with a proud look on his face.
Li Feng was stunned when he heard this. He couldn't believe what he heard. Dong Ge was the second in command, the black market boss... and his last name was Sheng... The answer was obvious. It must be Sheng Yanchuan, the second son of the Sheng family...
Thinking about the little bully in the village who had been bullying others since childhood, Li Feng thought that he was just bullying the village by relying on the title of village party secretary. He never expected that he would have such a reputation in the town. Li Feng immediately began to recall whether he had offended him in these years...
The man didn't see Li Feng's horrified face. Since no one was entering or leaving the black market, he just told Li Feng about the glorious history of Mr. Sheng Er. From taking over the black market by himself when he was a teenager, to leading the black market to expand, from a rookie to a famous person, from a young boy to a tough guy covered in wounds, the man told Li Feng all about Sheng Yanchuan's ruthlessness and courage.
