Chapter 1331 Human Nature (III)

The place where Zhao Tiezhu brought Duo Duo was a relatively underdeveloped area in the west of the city. This place was much more upscale than the shanty town where Duo Duo lived before. However, compared with the places in the south and north of the city, both the infrastructure here and There is an obvious difference between the construction and other miscellaneous ones.

"There is no place for me here." Zhao Tiezhu lit a cigarette and walked at the front, saying, "But I can show you the life of another kind of person. If you really want to hang out in my place, Then you should clearly know the preferences of people at different levels of society. If you can't figure this out, you should at least develop a pair of sharp eyes, so that you can instantly see which consumer group the other person belongs to.

"Yes!" Duoduo nodded and followed Zhao Tiezhu firmly.

This is a somewhat old street. The street is quite wide, about ten meters long. There are many shops on the left and right that look a bit old, including bicycle repairers, fruit sellers, and electrical appliances sellers.

This place lacks the hustle and bustle of the city center, but it is not as comfortable as Lucy's Flower Shop. This place seems to be a microcosm of the entire middle and lower class society in China.

Most of the people coming and going on the street are motorcycles and bicycles. Of course, there are also cars passing by occasionally, but most of them are relatively low-end cars like QQ Alto.

"Internet cafe, you know?" Zhao Tiezhu pointed to the internet cafe not far away and said.

"Yeah. I know!"

"I also have many Internet cafes under my umbrella, but my Internet cafes are more high-end and more standardized than those here. Don't think that your brother and I are just hanging out in bars and nightclubs all day long, like some Internet cafes and video game cities. I have many businesses under my umbrella, of course, most of them are in the form of shares, because I can’t run everything. Many people need my Blood Soul Hall brand, and they will naturally come to find me. , and then cooperate with my people." Zhao Tiezhu took Duoduo into the Internet cafe.

This Internet cafe is not big, with only thirty or fifty computers, some of which are still very old-fashioned desktop monitors.

"Look at this place." Zhao Tiezhu said, "Do you have any ideas?"

Duoduo looked around. The door of the Internet cafe was closed. Although the exhaust fan was turned on, there were many people smoking, so the entire Internet cafe looked a bit smoky under the light. In front of the computers in the Internet cafe, there were many fat pigs with dyed hair of various colors, and some children carrying schoolbags.

"I've never been to an Internet cafe, and I haven't used the Internet very much, so I don't know very well." Duoduo said softly, "But I think, if an Internet cafe wants to be bigger and stronger, it will definitely not be like this!"

"Oh? What do you think?" Zhao Tiezhu asked with interest.

"Just like private clubs, there are low-end ones and mid-range and high-end ones. Although I went to mid-range places before and they seemed to make a lot of money, brother, I think the most profitable ones should be the high-end ones. , So, in your Internet cafe, it must be at least cleaner and the rules must be stricter, so there can't be such a mixed bag of people." Duoduo said.

"Haha, that's right." Zhao Tiezhu knocked off the ash from his cigarette and said, "We have no way to regulate the behavior of Internet users, but at least underage smokers can still be regulated. In the Internet cafe in which I have a stake , most Internet cafes prohibit minors from entering and smoking, and some have special smoking areas. Although it seems that this will lose a lot of customers, the fact is the opposite. My Internet cafes, those The profits of Internet cafes with stricter rules are often several times that of those with looser rules. Nowadays, everything has to be high-quality. Such small-scale things will not last forever. "

As soon as Zhao Tiezhu finished speaking, he saw several young people quarreling over something unknown. After a few words, they started to fight. The fight was so loud that two computers were smashed. The network administrator They didn't know where they were hiding, and those who were fighting ran away not long after the fight.

"Do you know why those Internet cafes, game cities and other places need my people to participate?" Zhao Tiezhu asked.

"Well, my brother's people can act as a deterrent. I believe that such a thing will not happen in my brother's Internet cafe, right?" Duoduo said.

"Normally not." Zhao Tiezhu led Duoduo to the door and said, "We have special management personnel. If anyone makes trouble in my Internet cafe, they will directly offend my Blood Soul Hall, and the consequences will be very serious. !”

"You don't know how to kill people, do you?" Duoduo asked a little worriedly.

"I think too much. This is the age of the rule of law, and some stupid young people will stab people with knives. They are irresponsible for their own lives, and they are also irresponsible for the lives of others. In my gang, if anything happens, The first rule is to do nothing. Of course, if someone is really chasing me with a knife, my people will not be afraid of them. If my people are given the opportunity to defend themselves, my people will never Soft-hearted.”

"Oh! Then most of the time you play a role of deterrence and regulation!" Duoduo said.

"Well, that's it! Every market needs regulators, and there are some things that the government can't do, so we need to do it. This is why my Blood Soul Hall is still safe and sound until now. The government cannot do without it. We. We are also inseparable from politics, and we all use each other."

Zhao Tiezhu opened the door and walked out. Just then, a few middle-aged men ran in from outside. As soon as they entered the Internet cafe, they looked around and saw a few children with schoolbags on their backs.

"Little bastard, you don't go to school but come to play games!" One of the middle-aged men shouted and rushed over.

Zhao Tiezhu and Duoduo left the Internet cafe, and some shouting and cursing came from behind from time to time.

"This is relatively low-end." Zhao Tiezhu put his hands in his pockets and continued to walk deeper into the street. "These are still visible. I'll take you to see some things that are not visible."

Duoduo trembled slightly, but then followed Zhao Tiezhu firmly.

After walking for about five minutes, Zhao Tiezhu took Duoduo into a dark street.

On both sides of the street were hair salons with dim red lights. There were some women standing at the door of the hair salons. Some looked older, in their thirties or forties, and some were in their teens or twenties.

No matter how old they were, their faces were full of dust.

"Next, I will take you to see this world which is actually more helpless than what you have seen before." Zhao Tiezhu said softly.
