The Rebirth of the Financial Hegemon

In the eyes of later generations, the most comfortable and promising industry is civil servants.

Not to mention guaranteed harvests during droughts and floods, I still have some small rights. I can make a lot of money just from various gray incomes.

If you take a step back, it is naturally a public institution.

The harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods, the life is easy, and the welfare benefits are also nothing to mention.

But in the 1990s, the most promising career was not civil servants, nor public institutions, nor employees of state-owned enterprises.

Rather, a gangster.

Yes, it's a gangster.

It is a career that everyone later knows has the least future. Everyone knows that no matter whether you are doing well or not, you will actually be a gangster who will make a contribution sooner or later.

But in the 1990s, gangsters were the most prestigious profession in the eyes of many people.

Because, as long as you live well, you will have endless money to spend, and as long as you live well, you will have the most beautiful women.

Eat a lot of meat, drink a lot of wine, smoke the best cigarettes, and play with the best women.

You don’t have to pay for anything you want to buy, and you can go out to collect protection fees and touch any girl you like.

On such a chic day, many people will naturally flock to it.

Therefore, in the 1990s, the most prestigious career in the eyes of many young people was gangsters.

At least, that's how it's played on TV.

Wu Dalong is twenty years old this year.

After junior high school at the age of fifteen, under the influence of a certain series of movies, he entered the ranks of gangsters early.

He started hanging out around major middle schools and elementary schools in the city, and usually blackmailed elementary school students or middle school students. Gradually, he really made a name for himself in the neighborhood.

With a little fame, Wu Dalong was a little dissatisfied with just hanging around the school. After all, the students were still studying, and no amount of blackmail could produce much profit.

Movies and novels are good things. After reading a pirated novel, Wu Dalong actually learned a lot from it.

Recruit troops and buy horses.

Now that you have a name, you need to have a bunch of subordinates if you want to grow bigger.

There is always a shortage of idle people. With some benefits, Wu Dalong quickly won over a group of young people who could not continue to study.

Those who are eighteen or nineteen years old, those who are fifteen or sixteen years old, this is the age when the world is the second child and I am the third child.

Under the leadership of Wu Dalong, his reputation began to grow in the local area due to his courage and courage to take action.

Of course, it's all notoriety.

Tianlong Gang.

Wu Dalong got the name himself. He thought the name was very domineering.

However, notoriety is also fame, and it is much easier to make money with fame.

Since the Tianlong Gang grew to more than a dozen people, Wu Dalong shifted his targets from schools to some shops on the street.

Because all fools know that those who can open a shop must be richer than the poor students in school.

The majestic big brother in the movie has always been Wu Dalong's idol. Naturally, Wu Dalong imitated the big brother in the movie.

Collect protection fees, which are often referred to as market management fees.

Anyone who opens a shop doesn't open the door to do business. Under normal circumstances, as long as it doesn't go too far, the ones they don't want to mess with are those local gangsters.

Wu Dalong is smarter, and he wisely chooses to wait and see.

Bigger, better-decorated shops charge fifty yuan a month, while smaller ones, like some restaurants, charge ten yuan a month.

Often some store owners don't want to cause trouble, and after being harassed many times and ruining their business, they just swallow it.

Of course, there are some people who are unwilling to pay this money for no reason, but after calling the police, Big Block has nothing to do with these gangsters.

First, there are many minors in this gang of gangsters. Even if the big block comes and takes them back, they will be released again after two days at most.

But as soon as they were released, these guys went to report to the police to cause trouble in the store.

It ranges from smashing things, to even cutting people.

It's impossible for Big Cap to stay in these stores 24 hours a day. With a quick visit, Wang Dalong's Tianlong Gang turned several nearby streets into a sphere of influence.

Ping'an Street is one of the spheres of influence governed by the Tianlong Gang.

Although the first day of the Lunar New Year is not the time to count the months, it is the first day of business in the new year. Normal people would like to celebrate this day.

Therefore, Wang Dalong would not let go of such a good opportunity.

After breakfast in the morning, I called a group of boys to come out with guys to ask for red envelopes.

From the street to the end of the street, there were seventy or eighty shops along the way. Wang Dalong collected a lot of red envelopes without much effort.

Five yuan, ten yuan.

Wang Dalong didn't want to be too little either. After all, you have to follow the rules of being a prostitute. He gave everyone the amount he was supposed to give every month. The red envelope was for celebration. Giving more or less depends on the mood of the boss.

Of course, he didn't want to cause trouble on New Year's Day, so he didn't say anything about the three or two yuan offers at the time, but he kept them in mind.

Elegant Clothing is one of the few major clothing stores on Ping'an Street.

The proprietress Wang Xiaoya is said to have been to Xiangjiang in her early years. After hanging out in Xiangjiang for a few years, she came back and opened a famous clothing store in Kaifeng.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Wang Dalong walked into the elegant clothing store surrounded by a group of boys.

Although this was not his first time here, the decoration style of the elegant clothes still made Wang Dalong secretly look at him. This was the first time he saw a store with glass walls and doors and windows in Kaifeng.

The carpet at the door and the interior decoration alone would probably cost at least tens of thousands of yuan.

The most important thing is that the boss lady Wang Xiaoya is also a wonderful person.

Even though she is in her thirties, she doesn't have the scumbag look that people often say. Whether it's her clothes or her temperament, she can't compare to those girls in their 10s and 20s.

That face and body make people want to take a look at her.

"Sister Xiaoya, happy new year, may you get rich!"

When opening the door to celebrate, it is natural to say a few festive words.

As soon as Wang Dalong entered the store, he said congratulations to Wang Xiaoya who was sitting at the counter.

If he hadn't been followed by five or six boys holding steel pipe watermelon knives, everyone would have thought that he was here to sincerely wish him a happy New Year.

As soon as she saw these gangsters entering the door, Wang Xiaoya frowned involuntarily.

When you open your business, you are most afraid of rogues.

After all, this kind of people have nothing to do all day long. Once they are provoked, the business will be impossible.

Wang Xiaoya has opened a shop here for two years. She already knew what Wang Dalong and his gang were. On the first day of the new year, a bunch of weasels came to pay New Year greetings. You can guess what these guys want to do.

It's just that Wang Xiaoya can't do anything. There are so many big men on the street who can't do anything against these gangsters. What can she do as a woman?

Wang Xiaoya had no choice but to put on a smiling face, a smile that couldn't be more fake. Then, without waiting for Wang Dalong to speak, she simply took out ten dollars from the drawer.

"Brother Long, happy New Year to you too. Don't dislike the little red envelope."

Wang Dalong smiled, and after cracking his slightly yellow teeth, he smiled happily.

The call of Brother Long made him feel more comfortable, and Wang Xiaoya's knowledge also made him feel very proud.

Since Wang Xiaoya is so knowledgeable, of course he, Brother Long, has to give him face. After all, collecting numbers is the big deal, and Wang Dalong still understands the principle of long-lasting water flowing slowly.

"As for Sister Xiaoya, the red bar is still too big. I have to go to greet other bosses today, so I won't disturb you, Sister Xiaoya."

After taking the ten yuan handed over by Wang Xiaoya, Wang Dalong said something thoughtful and prepared to go out and rush to the next house.

"Brother Long, look quickly."

Just when Wang Dalong turned around and was about to leave, a boy holding a steel pipe and slapping his hands suddenly said.

Then….

Wang Dalong's halazi was about to flow out.
