Rebirth of the Evil Life

The Confucian businessman brought several of his subordinates and made an appointment with Director Ma of the nearby police station to arrive at the shop.

As soon as I entered, I realized something was wrong. His subordinate Ma Zai's face was red and swollen, as if he had been injured by something, and his minions in his trap were lying on the ground, making the Confucian businessman look shocked. Today seems to have hit a brick wall.

"Xiao Kun, what's going on? Who is the other party?" the Confucian businessman asked with a frown. Many of his subordinates are tough, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do debt collection work. But now he was put down to the ground and rolled away. What's going on?

"Boss, that's that boy, he's the only one!" The man with the gold necklace pointed at Lin Feng and shouted.

one person? The Confucian businessman frowned. One person brought down so many of his subordinates. What is this guy's background and his skills so good? Could it be that he came from Shaolin Temple?

"Brother, if you bring down so many of my men, logically speaking, I should deal with you. However, I know heroes best. You are so skilled, why not hang out with me and I'll give you a shot? Ten times the annual salary." The Confucian businessman did not get angry, but started poaching Lin Feng.

If the kid in front of him can knock down so many people by himself, then his skill is absolutely amazing. Such skill is not something that can be easily dealt with. It will probably take a lot of manpower to deal with it. Instead of being angry, it is better to recruit talents. Anyone who can fight like this will be a fierce general in the future, whether it is collecting debts or fighting for territory. Moreover, it can also be used to engage in underground black boxing. You can make a lot of money easily.

Ten times the annual salary sounds like a lot. But how much can a white-collar worker in Shanghai earn? It’s only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan a year, and 100,000 yuan at most. ten times. That’s an annual salary of one million. But he can use this little white-collar worker who can overthrow so many people under him. Earn back a hundred times, or even a thousand times. He is sure to make a profit from this business!

Even if this kid doesn't want to engage in black boxing, it would be a good idea to recruit him to be his personal bodyguard. After making so much money, his own safety is naturally the key. Especially in this line of work, although he is clean, who knows who will come to trouble him, so. It would be best to have a gold medal fighter to protect you personally.

Lin Feng smiled when he heard this. This guy is interesting and not simple.

"Who are you?" Lin Feng asked.

"Boy, why are you talking to our boss?" Several younger brothers behind him suddenly roared.

"Shut up! Why are you talking to this little brother?" The Confucian businessman smiled slightly and sat in front of Lin Feng.

"My surname is Qian, and I am the third in the family. They all call me Qian Laosan, so some people in the world praise me and call me Qian Sanye." The Confucian businessman smiled slightly, feeling quite proud of his nickname.

Then he glanced at Lin Feng and said, "Little brother, I wonder how much your annual salary is? I would venture to guess that the clothes you are wearing are Metersbonwe, the pants are JeansWest, the shoes are Li Ning, and the watch you are wearing is Citizen. , Haha, I would venture to guess that my little brother’s annual salary will not exceed 80,000. Now I will give you an annual salary of one million and let you work with me, what do you think?”

hiss! Annual salary of one million! Everyone present was exclaiming in shock. With an annual salary of one million, I am afraid that most people here would not even dare to think about it. For a time, many people expressed envy towards Lin Feng. Not only did he beat someone up, but he was also poached and promised a million-dollar annual salary. Is this a lucky day for this young man? The restaurant owner also let out a long sigh. From this point of view, it seems that his hotel can be saved. It's just that it's not a good thing for this young man to enter the underworld.

Confucian businessman Qian Sanye glanced at everyone and smiled. Money is a good thing. If you spend one million, you can make these bumpkins jealous to death. You can solve the mess in front of you without having to fight back and forth, so as not to cause displeasure to the superiors and bring trouble to yourself. You can also gain a strong general. This How do you calculate this business? Now, he is more and more fond of learning to use his mind and money to solve problems instead of using force.

But unexpectedly, reality slapped him hard.

"Master Qian, right? If you want to poach me, I have no problem with that. But your annual salary of one million is too little!" Lin Feng said lightly, "I'm worth more than this!"

Confucian businessman Qian Sanye was twitching.

"Little brother, how much do you want? As long as it's not too much, I'll be satisfied!" Confucian businessman Qian Sanye said with an unhappy expression. This kid is a bit too disrespectful. Of course, as long as it's not too much, he can agree. Anyway, the money spent today will be earned back ten times or a hundred times tomorrow.

"Haha, Mr. Qian just evaluated me, let me evaluate Mr. Qian too. Mr. Qian is dressed in a retro Tang suit. The brand cannot be seen, but the materials used are extremely sophisticated. It is obviously specially customized. This suit The estimate is at least 80,000 yuan!" Lin Feng smiled lightly, "I heard that there is a saying in Beijing to describe wealthy people, which is 'wearing eight auspicious things and wearing four great things'."

Confucian businessman Qian Sanye frowned. Although this sentence has been widely circulated in the capital for a long time, few people have heard about it now. He did not expect that the person in front of him actually knew that this young man was not simple.

The so-called "eight auspiciousness" refers to the eight silk shops with the word "xiang" located in the Qianmen and Dashilar area of ​​the old capital. Founded in the Tongzhi period, they are all run by the Meng family in Jiujun Town, Jiujun Town, Qiu County, Shandong Province, Jinan Prefecture. Initially there were two houses, one was Qianmen West Yueqiang Rui Linxiang, and the other was Dongyue Qiang Qian Xiangyi. They dealt in silk brocades and foreign homespun cloth and had a prosperous business. Then Rui Sheng Xiang was opened on the south side of Polishing Factory Road. By the early years of Guangxu (about 1875), three branches had been opened. The branch of Qianxiangyi is called Yihexiang, located on the west side of Jewelry City Road. The branch of Ruilinxiang is called Ruilinxiang Dongji, located outside Xianyukou on Qianmen Street. The branch of Ruishengxiang is Ruizengxiang, which is located outside the mouth of Guangxi. Then in the 19th year of Guangxu's reign, Ruifuxiang Silk and Cloth Store and Xiangyi Hao were established.

There are eight of them in total. Of course, China was in a period of upheaval at that time, and these eight stores also experienced a lot of ups and downs. In the end, after the founding of New China, only one time-honored brand, Ruifuxiang, was left, and its reputation gradually faded. However, although it is not known to ordinary people, it is an extremely well-known brand among the upper class society in the capital. It now specializes in creating high-end handmade Tang suits and other retro-style clothing, and its fabrics are all made of high-grade silk and satin. Extremely expensive.

As for the other five words, there are four constants in the waist. This constant refers to the bank. certainly. In fact, if the phrase "wearing eight auspicious things and having four constants wrapped around one's waist" is fully unfolded, it should be wearing Ma Juyuan on one's head, wearing Ruifuxiang on one's body, with Nei Lian Sheng on one's feet and four constants around one's waist. It means that wearing a hat from Ma Juyuan is the most noble, wearing clothes made from Ruifuxiang's silk and satin is the most glorious, and wearing a pair of boots from Neilian Sheng Shoe Store is the most glorious. The money banknotes of the "Four Great Constants" wrapped around the waist are the richest, which means having a millionaire.

The "Four Dahengs" refer to the four major banks of Hengli, Henghe, Hengxing and Hengyuan. Dong, whose ancestral home is Zhejiang-Jiang-Ci-Xi, set up a money stall in the East Fourth Archway during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty to exchange money. The silver and copper coins gradually developed. Due to the increasing capital accumulation, the above four banks were opened near the Dongsi Archway.

Hengli is the main store, located on Dongsi Pailou East Street, Henghe is located on the west of Dongsi Pailou North Road, and Hengxing is located at the east entrance of Longfu Temple Hutong to the north. Hengyuanhao is located on the north side of Dongsi Pailou East Road. The Henghe No. is responsible for the deposit business of wealthy officials and wealthy households, while the Hengli and Hengyuan No. are specialized in deposits for merchants. Hengli Hao had a jewelry bureau on Guiyi Street in Tianjin, which was later renamed Henley Gold Store. In the late Qing Dynasty, Yongantang Pharmacy was also the property of Hengli Hao.

Hengxing's main business is to serve major businesses. Due to the abundant funds, in order to meet the needs of the market, "bank notes" were issued to circulate in the market, which solved the inconvenience and safety problems of carrying silver and greatly facilitated consumption. Therefore, the reputation of "Four Constants" has greatly increased and became popular throughout the city. The Dong family built houses and courtyards on the three streets of Dongsi Archway, forming a composite courtyard group with courtyard No. 32 as the core, connected to courtyards 31 and 33, running east-west and facing north and south, and settled in Dongsi. In the early years of Guangxu's reign, the "Four Constants" reached their peak.

As for after the founding of the People's Republic of China, financial assets were owned by the state. At this point, Hengli Gold Store and Old Hengli Bank closed their operations in accordance with the law, and all remaining funds were used to repay debts and dismiss employees. The history of the "Four Constants" is completely over.

Of course, this is beside the point. However, the Confucian businessman Qian Sanye in front of him was wearing Ruifuxiang silk and satin material, if Lin Feng guessed correctly. And this outfit, 80,000 yuan is definitely not expensive nowadays. After all, it is a century-old brand, and it is purely handmade. When worn on the body, it is a kind of historical accumulation and historical charm.

Confucian businessman Qian Sanye was also shocked when he heard Lin Feng's analysis. The unspectacular boy in front of me has a very vicious look. This can all be seen at a glance. You know, when he wears it, most people can't tell where it comes from. They only know that the materials are exquisite and not cheap. Some people guessed it would be several thousand yuan, but when he told the real price, the other person often couldn't believe it and didn't think it was that expensive. But when he told the history behind it, it was enough to frighten the other party half to death, with eyes full of envy.

Unexpectedly, I met a knowledgeable person here. Where is this guy from? Could it be that this time we really hit a brick wall? Thinking of this, Confucian businessman Qian Sanye wanted to retreat. He was able to survive several crackdowns, not because of legitimate business, but because he knew how to advance and retreat. When Lin Feng swept away the gangsters, he stayed away from Shanghai and cut off all contact with all his subordinates. When the government cracked down on crime, he actively cooperated with the government and handed over all the criminals under his command. After they are in the limelight, spend money to redeem these subordinates, open up relationships, and make them become his minions again. Otherwise, he would have long become a bubble in the Huangpu River.

The young man in front of him was a little frightened. However, although he was frightened, he would not just retreat. There were so many people here, and if he was scared away by just a few words from this kid, how could he survive?

"Little brother, he seems to be a knowledgeable person. I admire him, I admire him! I wonder where my little brother is?" Mr. Qian Sanye, a Confucian businessman, said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

Lin Feng chuckled.

"I'm just a random gangster, doing whatever I'm interested in. Just messing around!" Lin Feng said with a smile, "I'm not as majestic as Mr. Qian. With so many subordinates, I can pull him out. Scary!"

Mr. Qian Sanye, a Confucian businessman, was even more confused about the background of the boy in front of him. But when one of his subordinates was beaten, he couldn't just retreat. It was a matter of face. The most important thing for those who are involved in the world is face. He deliberately wanted Director Ma to come and control this kid, but his origins were unknown, and who knew what he did. If Director Ma can't restrain him, or even makes Director Ma frightened, then he will have deceived Director Ma. Now, he finally made friends with Director Ma through various means. You can't just call them at will, they are invited every time, and they also deal with some street gang fights, using the strength of the horse to suppress the other side. And he will never use Director Ma's talents to suppress ordinary people.

After all, in Shanghai now, it is the god Lin Feng who really counts. He hates officials and the common people the most. If he finds out, he will definitely encounter injustice on the road. As for his power and absolute influence in Shanghai, with just one word from him, I'm afraid everyone from the deputy mayor level of Shanghai to the next level would be dismissed at the drop of a hat. After all, Secretary Wang today absolutely relies on Lin Feng. What's more, there are people above Lin Feng.

"Little brother, you haven't made an offer yet? Come up with a price!" Confucian businessman Qian Sanye decided to test Lin Feng again. If this kid really had any origins, he would have tolerated his tone today. After all, no matter how important face is, it is not as important as money, career, or life.

"Haha, let's make an offer. Since Mr. Qian asked sincerely, I will give you an honest price. 100 million, I can do you a favor!" Lin Feng said.

Confucian businessman Qian Sanye's face turned dark. 100 million, do me a favor! who do you think You Are! Do you think you are Lin Feng?

"Little brother, are you kidding me? I asked you sincerely, but you are playing tricks on me like this. This is wrong! Could it be that little brother was ordered by someone to entertain Qian?" Mr. Qian, a Confucian businessman, was still probing.

Lin Feng chuckled.

"How about some fun?" Lin Feng smiled slightly. This Mr. Qian is a good person, but it’s a pity that he didn’t follow the right path. What a pity!

"Bold! Boy, the third master thinks highly of you and that's why he talks to you. Don't give me a toast without having to drink the wine as a fine!" Several people behind Mr. Qian, a Confucian businessman, shouted in unison, rolling up their sleeves and about to take action. But this time the Confucian businessman Qian Sanye did not stop him. He was also angry. This kid is so loud, I really think he is a clay figure! He wanted to use these people to test Lin Feng and see where he came from!

But once again, to the surprise of onlookers, Lin Feng easily eliminated several of Qian Sanye's men behind him. Clean and neat, precise shots, every hit is accurate. After a few clicks, Mr. Qian was left alone.

This guy is so powerful! But it's okay, it should be possible to use the director's strength. Confucian businessman Qian Sanye finally made a decision. To be continued…
