Chapter 715 Water Is Like Wine There
Dead silence, frozen silence.
Even the big guys snooping around in the side room were dumbfounded, staring at the arrogant figure. For the first time in a long time, I saw someone so bold that he dared to trample Beiyuan's face under his feet.
Only Beiyuan lowered his head blankly, looking at the finger poking at his chest.
Still, unbelievable.
When he raised his head, he saw Huai Shi's mocking and indifferent eyes. His face turned from red to livid. The cane between his fingers almost creaked as he roared angrily:
"You bastard, how dare you insult me!"
"It's just a few words of truth. There's no need to be so angry, right?"
Huai Shi sighed, "You don't have to speak so loudly, I can hear you-"
He paused, his eyes became dangerous, he calmly patted the shoulder of the man in front of him, fixed his collar and hair, and told him gently: "No matter how ungrateful you are, you should not It’s only right to be so rude in front of the deceased’s soul, please calm down, okay?”
Huai Shi patted the holster under his ribs through the dress. Huai Shi slowly let go of his hand, took a step back, looked at his appearance, and nodded with satisfaction: "This is right, you are the top five." The envoys should not be like us little people who hang out on the street, and they should always show a dignified appearance."
"You think you're sure to win?"
Beiyuan squeezed out a hoarse voice from between his teeth, his old face was full of gloom, and he stared at his face, "You think you are very powerful, very strong, I know that every year there will be people like you who don't know the heights of the world. He jumped out and wanted to challenge the authority, but he didn't know the heights of the world.
You think that with Fujimoto's inheritance in hand, you can challenge the five big brothers, but you are dreaming. If the five big brothers don't allow it, you won't even be the boss! "
"Probably, maybe, maybe it's just like what you said?"
Huai Shi shrugged nonchalantly and smiled: "But who do you think you are? If you want to take away my position, let the five big guys come and tell me."
"Ochiai, Ikutenmu, Kuaga, Chiba, and Arakawa, whoever it is is fine."
He bent down and whispered softly into Beiyuan's ear: "If they are not satisfied with me as a newcomer, then please ask them to come and tell me in person."
In the silence, Beiyuan raised his eyes, looked at the face of the man in front of him, and quickly nodded slowly: "Very good, I will bring you your exact words.
Huai Zhi, I really hope you will still have such backbone when death is imminent. "
He withdrew his malicious gaze, said no more, and turned to leave. But after taking a few steps, I heard a voice behind me.
"...By the way, aren't you here to express your condolences?"
Huai Shi, who was in front of the coffin, turned around and asked doubtfully, "Why don't you burn incense?"
Beiyuan's steps paused, his expression twitched, he restrained his anger, turned around, and raised his hand towards the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, he bent down and offered a bunch of incense in his hands.
The incense stick was lit in the candle flame, and the fleeting flame rose up, illuminating the faces of the old and the young, and soon disappeared in the vapor blowing in the thin rain.
Only a flickering flame fell into the incense burner and turned into curls of green smoke, spreading in all directions.
Watching Beiyuan leave angrily, the pale Yamashita came over and lowered his voice: "Beiyuan is the envoy of the five big guys, what if..."
"I know."
Huaishi said: "I did it on purpose."
Yamashita was stunned: "Why, why?"
"The reason is very simple." Huai Shi turned around and looked at him calmly, "If there is no chance, how can a newcomer get ahead?"
Shanxia was about to speak but stopped.
He really wanted to say that he was putting the Fujimoto group on the fire. Once word got out, it might be in danger of overthrowing. But the Fujimoto group no longer exists, and now it should be the Waishi group. What qualifications did he, a has-been Ruotou, have to make irresponsible remarks on matters that had already been decided?
The deal is done, and all that's left is nothing but a mountain of swords and a sea of fire. After the panic, Yamashita has accepted the reality. If the five big guys are held accountable, the worst they can do is accompany the team leader on the road.
He lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
The consequences of offending Beiyuan don't have to wait until tomorrow, they have already appeared at this moment. The big guys who were originally attending the farewell party in the side room have begun to come up with various excuses and leave one after another.
They admire the courage to expel the envoys of the five big guys with their arms, but it does not mean that they like to associate with a guy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth.
"Oh, Mr. Huai Zhi is young and promising. He should have stayed to drink a few more glasses of water and wine. However, there is something urgent at home and he cannot stay for long. What a pity."
The old man of the Yamada group looked regretful, holding Huai Shi's hand and saying goodbye.
Huai Shi did not force it, and even Fujimoto’s widow and children were not left behind.
Just smile and say goodbye.
"Are you leaving without having dinner? What a pity." He politely sent them out of the door: "Have a good time, everyone. I'll see you off not far away."
Watching the old people turn around, Huai Shi looked towards the house and asked in confusion: "It's so strange that no one is interested in the legacy of the Tiger King Group?"
Under the umbrella, old man Yamada paused slightly in his departure, but he did not look back and left with a normal expression.
Five minutes later there was a knock on the back door.
The old man who had left and returned smiled at the foot of the mountain: "Oh, I forgot to bring my umbrella. Is it convenient to let this old man bother me for dinner?"
"Of course, please come inside."
Yamashita pointed to the side room next to the mourning hall.
In the side room that was once again bustling, many pairs of eyes looked over and immediately became unhappy.
"Hey, old turtle, didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
"My nephew and Fujimoto are sworn brothers in prison. Why can't we have a glass of wine at his funeral? But you, a bald kappa, didn't you say that your daughter is about to be born? Go back quickly."
"I only have two sons, and they are both eating in prison. Where did my daughter come from? You must have heard wrong, old turtle!"
In less than ten minutes, more than a third of the people came back. It was like a tacit understanding between the club staff for the second and third meetings. After deceiving the irrelevant and uninterested guys, they came back again. Reunion in a familiar place.
It is true that the paper-carrying group does not know what is good and what is good, and may be in danger.
But that doesn’t stop the Tiger King group’s legacy from being so fragrant!
If we don't take advantage of it now and wait for the alliance's senior management to make allocations, we don't know how much effort it will take to get it. How can it be as satisfying as taking advantage of it now?
Even if the Pregnancy Group is gone by then, the property that everyone spent money to buy, even if you are one of the top five, you can't just ask others to withdraw, right?
Even though the Yakuza does not follow the so-called procedures and never pays taxes, there are rules. There was so much room for maneuver and so much profit to be made that these old ghosts couldn't help but be tempted.
Besides, maybe there will be another wave of paper-wielding groups at that time... Wouldn't it be nice to have the legacies of the two groups serving you?
Looking at the lively atmosphere in the room from a distance, Huai Shi turned and left. The rest of the matter will be left to Zhajian, and there is no need for him to come forward again.
.
An hour later, Zhajian hurried into the lounge specially prepared for Huai Shi, sweating profusely and wiping his forehead.
"Team leader, the assets of the Tiger King Group have been sold. The fixed assets and goods in their hands, as well as the channels and stores of the chain milk tea shop, have all been bought by those four..."
When he said this, he couldn't help but feel heartache.
It was still too hasty. Those old lions opened their mouths and had no room for bargaining when bargaining down. It was like buying cabbage.
Moreover, according to the rules, the price of this kind of property that has not been cleaned up will be discounted by 30%.
It’s basically the same as Mingqiang!
He lowered his head and handed over the thick document in his hand, and reported: "This time, it is divided between the Yamada group and..."
Huai Shi waved her hand and interrupted the long speech: "Just tell me the total number."
"A total of fifty-seven million U.S. dollars."
Zhajian adjusted his glasses and took a few breaths to avoid a heart attack: "According to your request, I only need cash and hard currency. If it is not enough, I will mortgage it first and settle it within a week."
After hurriedly calculating the borrowed income, he couldn't help but feel happy: "In this case, Teng... no, the Paper Collection Group now has a large amount in their accounts..."
"What do you need so much money for?"
Huai Shi waved his hand indifferently: "How much money is there in the books now?"
"Including the balance and working capital from the previous quarter, the bulk of which is the advance payment just transferred, totaling about nine million US dollars."
"That's quite a lot."
Huaishi nodded with understanding, stared at the gradually rising dusk in the sky outside, and said thoughtfully: "Zhajian, tell me, how many people are there in the entire inner circle of Danba?"
"ah?"
Zhajian was puzzled. After thinking for a long time, he said hesitantly: "Probably, there are about 200,000 people? Anyway, the annual census does not include people here, and no one has counted them."
"Then consider it 250,000."
Huai Shi lowered his head, stared at the flickering cigarette at his fingertips, thought for a while, and shrugged: "Then, let's do it."
Without waiting for Zhajian's reaction, he raised his head and smiled:
"Go tell everyone here that there is a guy named Huai Zhi who is new here and wants to buy them a drink. Please take good care of everyone in the future."
He said, "I'm going to buy everyone a drink."
Takuma was stunned, frozen in place, dumbfounded.
"Boss, are you...serious?"
"Then a large amount of money can't be used as a joke, right?" Huai Shi said, "Help me do the math. Do you have a calculator?"
This is the simplest arithmetic problem.
The cheapest Guri draft beer costs 270 Yingyuan per can... Calculated, it costs a total of 67 million Yingyuan, which is almost 700,000 U.S. dollars when converted into U.S. dollars!
"In this case, more than eight million can be left."
Huaishi held her chin and thought for a moment, then took out a business card from her pocket - Border Peace Water Conservancy Group.
"Contact this company. I have already negotiated the terms of the contract. Just discuss the prepayment and subsequent payments. Remember to reserve a portion of the cost of pipeline laying and modification."
"Then you can go and tell those who drink that from next week everyone will be able to buy water from us - clean, clear, drinkable water."
He said, "But water and wine are different. Wine is free, but water is three times the market price."
In the silence, Zhajian's hand holding the paper was trembling. He almost suspected that he had heard wrongly, but it was difficult to question his words. He panted for a long time and finally calmed down.
Taking off his glasses with trembling hands, the man with mottled white hair bent forward and bowed ninety degrees.
"As you command!"
Two minutes later, the first order from the leader of the holding group reached everyone's ears.
It's not a quarrel, a rebuke or a compliment.
I just want to buy you a drink.
Most people thought he was crazy, and some people were already quietly preparing to leave, trying to find a home for themselves before the big wave. But more people choose to stay.
Because the time is too hasty, because I am still waiting and watching, and even more because... the red envelope given by the elder brother is so delicious.
Of course, some uneasy members quietly found Ueno, who was closest to the bottom, and asked with concern: "Brother Ueno, I heard that the boss has offended the five big guys, is it true?" I’m afraid everyone will not have a good life in the future. "
"Brother Huazhi is a real man, what do you know?!"
Ueno, who was covered in bandages and smoking a cigarette, looked askance at him like he was looking at a bunch of idiots: "Didn't you get the bonus? Work hard for me!
Not enough cars? Just go borrow it! Does Yamada have a freight company? If you don’t have enough manpower, then call those trash in your house who only know how to take drugs. It’s enough if they have hands and feet. Why won’t the boss give you money? "
No matter what, tonight, under this absurd order, the newly born paper group began to operate.
Mobilizing more than twice the manpower and countless outside help, spending countless amounts of money, and then using 70% more than the budget, almost all the convenience stores and warehouses in Kyoto were emptied, and the supply was exhausted. The dealer called and the truck even went to Nara and Osaka.
And at ten o'clock in the evening, it seemed like the entire world's beer had arrived in the inner circle of Tambo.
Then, as onlookers looked on in confusion, the members of the paper-carrying group moved box after box to the street, and piled them up into mountains one after another at hundreds of intersections.
When the bell rang in the distance, men with tattoos and ill-fitting dresses jumped out of the car, neatly opened the package, and greeted everyone around politely.
Every can of beer was delivered to anyone who passed by.
free.
In this way, they took the trouble to tell everyone: This is not a promotional advertisement, nor is it a despicable scam, it is just a Mr. Papery who wants to buy you a drink.
You don’t need to know who Huizhi is, nor do you need to understand what he’s doing here. Whether you choose to accept it or reject it, he just wants to make you happy.
Even if the time is only a moment, even if the happiness is only a fraction.
It's that simple.
He just wants you to be well.
Some people refused, walked away quickly, and watched warily. But more people chose to accept it without any care and took the heavy beer.
Then after carefully observing the production date and label, pull the tab and taste it.
Some people praised it greatly, while others took a few sips and threw it into the trash can. Whether they are curious, skeptical or resistant, more and more people are coming.
Let the atmosphere become warmer and the cheers spread in all directions.
In the end, in this narrow and dirty inner circle of Tamba, they converged into a thin rippling sea.
Many years later, some people can still recall the cheers and laughter in the streets that night, and the way everyone raised their beers and drank happily.
People hiding in alleys, under bridges and in corners once again took to the streets and took a can of beer from those people without any distinction.
Regardless of whether they are gangsters, gangsters, ordinary people, hybrids, helpers or dancers, under the illumination of neon lights, everyone has a hallucinatory smile on their face.
There was a distant harmonica sound in the wind, and everything was drowned in the sweet fragrance of wheat.
It seems that there is no more haze in the world.
Two updates completed, are you all still there? It’s been a tiring day, let’s have a drink together.
