The Pentium Era - South to North

Liu Ligan disappeared for two days. When he appeared in Zhang Chen's office on the third day, his eyes were still black and blue.

Zhang Chen asked him, when will you date Liu Yun?

"Today." Liu Ligan said.

"Just go like this?"

"What are you afraid of? There is a boxer next to me. I told her that she was beaten by him when I was trying to play." Liu Li pointed at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu scolded: "Oh, your mother!"

"Now it's yellow and green at night?" Zhang Chen thought to himself, Jiajia is gone, Wenwen and Qianqian have also fallen out, at least your kid is at Yilin's house and can't make trouble anymore.

"Shit, the three of them are inseparable again." Xiao Wu shouted from the side.

Zhang Chen was shocked, what the hell is this? Zhang Chen smiled and said: "It seems that Wenwen is right, you are indeed their toy."

"It doesn't matter, just play with each other and have fun." Liu Ligan said nonchalantly.

"Are you happy?" Zhang Chen asked.

Liu Ligan thought for a moment and said seriously: "I'm still happy. I don't have any burden in my heart. I know not to take any responsibilities. Now that we're talking about it, it's better. Everyone gets what they need, instead of pretending to be a hooligan in the name of love."

Xiao Wu scolded: "You think you are not a gangster."

Liu Ligan glanced at him and said to Zhang Chen: "You see, there is no justice in this world. How dare you call good people like us rogues?"

Zhang Chen also laughed: "Xiao Wu is indeed rare. Not everyone should be involved in eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking. He only eats and drinks, and does nothing else."

Xiao Wu chuckled: "Those are not interesting."

Liu Ligan's BB phone rang. He turned around and saw Mr. Xie. Putting down the phone, Liu Ligan and Zhang Chen said, "I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving."

"Meeting clients like this?" Zhang Chen asked curiously.

"I met them yesterday and they asked me. I told them that they slept with other people's wives and were beaten by their husbands."

"Awesome!" Zhang Chen raised his thumb.

Liu Ligan smiled and said: "Let me tell you, the more I say this, the more people think I am joking. Everyone laughs and passes by. Come on, let me ride the motorcycle."

Xiao Wu threw the motorcycle keys to him, and Liu Ligan walked out.

Xiao Wu looked at his back and cursed: "Who thought the pole would become like this? Damn it, I can't even call him brother now."

Liu Ligan rode his motorcycle to Mr. Xie's entertainment city. Mr. Xie was already waiting for him at the door. When he saw him coming, he told him to park the motorcycle aside and take my car.

Mr. Xie pointed to his eyes and asked, "What's wrong here?"

"If you sleep with someone else's wife, you will be beaten." Liu Ligan said.

Mr. Xie laughed loudly: "Not serious."

The two people got in the car, Mr. Xie drove, and Liu Ligan sat in the passenger seat. Liu Ligan asked, "How is your business here now?"

Mr. Xie sighed: "I can't hold on any longer. Everyone thinks that this is the only place that can still make money, so they are all crowding in. Look at how many new places have been opened in Haicheng since the Chinese New Year, but there is still money." There are only so many people playing outside, so how can we get enough to eat even if we share one point?"

"It's not surprising. The Dingdong people on Haixiu Road are almost out of work. The top people don't have enough to eat, so how can they have money to feed the people below? The departure of the Taiwanese people will have the biggest impact, right?"

"Yes, they like to play the most, and so do the mainlanders, but they have no money, and even the Hainan locals have used up all the land expropriation compensation."

In the early days of the establishment of Hainan Province, Hainan Island attracted a large number of Taiwanese businessmen because of its similar environmental, climate and humanistic conditions to Taiwan. Taiwanese businessmen ranked first in overseas investment in terms of the number of businesses they opened and the amount of investment. Taiwanese businessmen are particularly keen on the leisure and entertainment industry. The first golf course in Hainan was invested by Taiwanese businessmen, and the best KTV in Haicheng was also invested by Taiwanese businessmen.

Along with the investment from Taiwanese businessmen are Taiwanese executives from Taiwanese companies and tourists. A large part of the guests who patronize these entertainment venues are Taiwanese.

However, with the recession in Hainan's economy, many enterprises and companies invested by Taiwanese businessmen have gone out of business, or are in a state of semi-closure. The departure of Taiwanese businessmen and Taiwanese enterprises will bear the brunt of the impact on Haicheng's leisure and entertainment industry.

Mr. Xie drove towards Hongcheng Lake.

"Where are we going?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Go to my factory. I know you have a lot of ideas. I asked you to come here to help me see if I can get some money from there." Mr. Xie and Liu Ligan said.

After many twists and turns, they arrived at the outskirts of Haicheng. On both sides of the road were swamps and wild slopes covered with trees.

Not far away, an L-shaped steel structure factory building appeared in front of us. It was about four to five thousand square meters. The area recessed in the L shape was a large cement site. The cement on the site was cracked. Many of them were cracked. Weeds grew out of the gaps.

Mr. Xie drove the car to the iron gate of the factory. The iron gate was closed tightly. Mr. Xie honked the car horn. Hearing the sound of the horn, two people walked out of the house. When they saw it was Mr. Xie's car, one of them hurried to the car. Run over and untie the key from your waist while running.

The iron door opened, and Mr. Xie drove in and drove until it reached the door of the steel structure house before stopping.

Liu Ligan asked: "Is this your factory?"

"Yes, a furniture factory. The factory building has just been built and we don't dare to move it."

"The scale is not small, so why do you think of setting up a furniture factory?"

"Didn't Hainan just become a province at that time? Many new government agencies and companies popped up all of a sudden. There were no office furniture manufacturers in Hainan, so they had to be shipped from the mainland. The price was extremely expensive. A fellow countryman of mine told me, It would definitely be profitable to do this, so I came to investigate and thought it could be done. It happened to be my old profession, so I took all my family property and ran from Liuyang to Hainan."

"Mr. Xie runs a furniture factory in Liuyang?"

"No, I started learning to be a carpenter when I was thirteen."

Liu Ligan laughed: "This span is too big. It's completely different for a carpenter to go to such a large furniture factory."

Mr. Xie also smiled: "How could I know so much at that time?"

"How much money did Mr. Xie bring to Hainan?"

Mr. Xie stretched out his hand and made a horoscope sign. Liu Ligan said, "Eight thousand?"

Mr. Xie burst out laughing: "With eight thousand dollars, I dare to open a furniture factory?"

"Eighty thousand?"

Mr. Xie shook his head.

Liu Ligan added: "Eight hundred thousand?"

"Eight million."

"Fuck, eight million two years ago? Mr. Xie is the richest man in Liuyang, right?"

Mr. Xie smiled and didn't say yes or no.

Liu Ligan was confused: "What kind of carpenter do you do and can earn eight million?"

"You can make a lot of money by being a carpenter," Mr. Xie scolded. "I sold cloth from Keqiao, Shaoxing, Zhejiang, to Liuyang. I hauled it by the truckload. At that time, people in Liuyang went to the streets to buy cloth to make clothes. I basically sell all the cloth.

"By 2008, the number of people buying cloth was getting smaller and smaller year by year, and they all started to buy ready-made clothes. How many people still bought cloth to make clothes, especially young people, who all wore jeans and denim clothes. Where were the tailor shops? I can do it. I saw this trend and the cloth business will only get worse and worse, so I thought about changing my career. When I had such an opportunity, I came to Hainan, but I didn’t expect it to be a trap.”

Mr. Xie smiled bitterly and continued: "In mainland China, I felt that I was very powerful. The threshold of my home was a foot higher than others, and I could kill someone with my clothes when I walked. Only when I came here did I know how much I weighed. You Whatever you can think of, others have already thought of it, and the money you want to make, there will always be someone who takes the lead and makes it before you do.”

Liu Ligan thought, this is what the saying goes, there are mountains beyond the mountains.

Mr. Xie made eight million in his hometown, which is many times higher than those big kings in Yongcheng. He should be the king among the kings. When you get here, your little money and ability are nothing. This is like water. In Boliang Mountain, those guys at home are all from the countryside, and the ground is shaking when they stomp their feet. There are rows of seats in the Juyi Hall, and you are just a name.

The two people got out of the car and stood beside it. Liu Ligan looked around and found that this place was actually close to Haicheng, alone on a deserted slope. In the distance, he could see the buildings of Haicheng. Ying, no wonder so many people like to rent warehouses here. The rent is cheap and the transportation is relatively convenient. Especially the open space in front of the factory is perfect for loading and unloading goods.

"What is this place?" Liu Ligan asked.

"I don't know what this place should be called. It doesn't have a name. It turned out to be a shooting range of the Armed Police Force. When the city expanded, it was too close to the city, so it was abandoned and has been deserted. My fellow villager who encouraged me to come to Hainan, He is the chief of staff of the army. They want to rent the entire shooting range to me, but I don’t want it. Why do they want it so big? I only want one-third.”

"The rent is very cheap?" Liu Ligan asked.

"The entire shooting range is 50,000 a year. I rent a third of it. It's a little more expensive, 20,000. I paid them all at once for twenty years, and it was a little cheaper and I gave them 350,000." .

"I thought, since we are building factories here, we have to die here. We can't move even if we want to. I will pay the rent in one lump sum for twenty years. Of course the army is willing. This land is empty. They suddenly have an income of hundreds of thousands, but who cares if the people behind them have no money to collect."

The two people talked and walked into the factory building. The factory building used to be a large hall, but now it is divided into warehouses of more than 100 square meters, with a passage in the middle. Most of the goods piled in these warehouses are now basically They have all become ownerless goods, and the rent has been in arrears. According to the agreement, the right to dispose of them all belongs to Mr. Xie.

Mr. Xie invited Liu Ligan here just to see if he could handle all the goods.

Liu Ligan knew that Jiugui Liquor and Xiangquan Liquor in that warehouse were all here.
