Era: Retired from the army at the beginning and returned home - Chapter 311 Let Director Zeng set up a line

Chapter 310 Let Director Zeng set up a line

In Xiangjiang, you have to check others, or others want to check you. As long as it’s not too private, it’s easy to find out. After all, there are so many places, even in places without Internet access. What’s more, Luo Cheng wants to investigate Zeng Qirong, who can be considered a public figure after all.

Zeng Qirong has been Detective Lu’s subordinate for a long time. If the younger brother is Ma Tsai, then he is Detective Lu’s horse head. He collected some of the black money on behalf of Inspector Lu. Of course, he himself is just as greedy. If he helps Detective Lu, he will definitely get a lot of money, but as a junior, the most he can give is a favor fee. If it is not called dividends, it won’t be much.

So Zeng Qirong himself was greedy. He was also a director after all, and with Inspector Lu covering him, he could solve some small matters just by stepping in. Naturally, he can usually earn a lot of benefits.

In addition, he had a son named Zeng Ziwei, and Luo Cheng didn’t know what to say when he heard the name Zeng Ziwei. A big star in Xiangjiang in later generations. Not to mention how much he is worth, at least he is a familiar figure in terms of popularity.

However, Xiangjiang Film and Television has not yet started to develop. There is a film and television industry, but it is only in its infancy. Movies have not yet been commercialized. For example, the most popular movie now, “The Match”, is a Huangmei opera version.

The real improvement of Hong Kong films was in the 1970s, the era of Bruce Lee. But this also made Luo Cheng think of Sissi again. It can be felt that she actually likes role-playing and is suitable for the film and television industry.

Luo Cheng felt that if he could live a stable life in both Hong Kong and China, it would be fine to continue like this. But if there is a choice, Luo Cheng wants to spend a certain period of time in Hong Kong before returning to China for development.

Now Luo Cheng doesn’t want to get involved in the film and television industry, but he can build a theater enclosure. Nowadays, land in Xiangjiang is cheap, and it doesn’t cost much to build a cinema. But this is all a matter for the future. The first thing to consider now is to get on Detective Lu’s line.

It was easier to get an appointment with Zeng Qirong. After all, he was going down there to collect various kinds of money, to run errands for Detective Lu, and to get in touch with all kinds of religions. The liaison officer in Kowloon District can make an appointment with Tsang Qirong. Because the liaison officer in Kowloon is a rickshaw owner in Baotou, it is considered a legitimate industry in Hong Kong, but some filial piety money is still required.

However, the liaison officer in Kowloon District has not yet been able to contact Zeng Qirong directly. Instead, he could be introduced through a police sergeant he knew.

In this case, Luo Cheng acted as host and invited Director Zeng to have tea at the big teahouse in Kowloon District. Just ask the liaison officer to make a recommendation to the police chief over there. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, he will give the police chief a few hundred dollars as a referral fee.

The reason why we went to the big teahouse in Kowloon was that Wan Chai belonged to Inspector Zhou. It would be bad if we found out that he invited Zeng Qirong to drink tea.

On Zeng Qirong’s side, he also became interested when he heard that Luo Cheng from Wan Chai District was looking for him. Recently, there have been many more vehicles in Xiangjiang, as well as refrigerators and air conditioners. They don’t need to worry about where the goods come from overseas, but if the goods come out of Wan Chai District, they naturally know that they belong to the police station in Wan Chai District.

Everyone is greedy these days, and they all work in the police department, even if they are a little jealous of Inspector Zhou’s approach. But at the same time, some things cannot be taken too far. But now that Luo Cheng took the initiative to come to the door, it was different.

Then just a few days later, the same scene, but a different place and people. Luo Cheng and Zeng Qirong sat down to have morning tea together. Zeng Qirong thought at first that Luo Cheng wanted to open up the market in Kowloon District, so he invited him. Because in Kowloon District, even though he is just a director, he is two levels lower than an inspector. But with Detective Lu covering him, his speech in Kowloon is no worse than that of an inspector.

Zeng Qirong had already thought about it when he came. As long as the benefits were sufficient, he would just hold a private meeting and invite some people to buy Luo Cheng’s car.

“Director Zeng, you may not know that Inspector Zhou helped me sell cars, refrigerators and air conditioners without asking me for a penny.”

“Luo Cheng, what do you mean? If you have anything to say, you’d better just say it.”

They had a good chat with each other at first, and Luo Cheng introduced his current business. But Luo Cheng suddenly said such words, how could Zeng Qirong believe it. It’s not that he is talking big. In the whole of Xiangjiang, unless one is unable to be greedy, there is no one who is not greedy.

If you don’t take it, how can it be easy for me to take it? If I don’t take it, how can it be easy for others to take it. If you don’t take it, how can you make progress?

If Inspector Zhou didn’t get paid this week and still worked so hard to help Luo Cheng, it would be unless Luo Cheng had someone above him who forced Inspector Zhou to help.

“Director Zeng, don’t worry, I haven’t made it clear yet. Inspector Zhou really didn’t ask me for a penny, but he was helping himself to make money. For example, if I get a ‘Touch You’ car, I will The cost was only 7,000, and the cost was more than 5,000. As for how much it was sold for, Inspector Zhou said that whether it was 8,000 or 10,000, it had nothing to do with me. With such a cooperative relationship with him, Why should I give him a penny as filial piety money?”

“Then what do you mean~~.”

After hearing Luo Cheng’s revelation about his cooperation with Inspector Zhou, Zeng Qirong couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The car ‘Touch You’ now sells for about 10,000 yuan. According to Luo Cheng, after excluding the cost, he earns less than Inspector Zhou. It felt like Luo Cheng had second thoughts and came to talk to him.

A weekly inspector can earn about 3,000 yuan per car, but now a police officer only earns 100 to 200 yuan, and he has to work for a year. Even though Inspector Zhou has to manage a lot of expenses, he has sold a lot of cars recently. If you sell 100 cars, you can earn 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, as well as a refrigerator and air conditioner.

This made Zeng Qirong also want to cooperate with Luo Cheng in this way. Kowloon is larger than Wan Chai and has more wealthy people.

“Director Zeng, do you want me to give you money every month, or do you want to cooperate? If you choose to cooperate, I won’t pay you a penny.”

“Oh, can you be more detailed? Let’s be direct.”

“Okay, if it’s filial piety money, I’ll give you 100,000 a month. If it’s a cooperation, I’ll give you 500 for a ‘touch you’ car, 100 for a refrigerator, and 200 for an air conditioner. Also, I recently got a new model. The price of your car is higher, and you can get one thousand for one car.”

“Uh~~~!”

Zeng Qirong was a little confused by the fee. It was small, but Luo Cheng could give him 100,000 a month. And this is filial piety money. How Luo Cheng’s car is sold or how much it is sold for has nothing to do with him. He only needs to be responsible for calling some people to come and take care of it. If there is trouble in Kowloon, he will definitely come forward to solve it.

One hundred thousand is really not a small amount. A police station that charges people’s tribute money, and a small business like a worker on the dock or pulling a van, can’t get much money in a month. The real filial piety money is through casinos and pornography, but in a place like that, the police department only needs to turn a blind eye, and there is no need for them to contribute. The filial piety money given is high, but it is not much higher. go. Even if the brothers divide it, they won’t get much.

Zeng Qirong was originally helping Inspector Lu to collect dirty money, so it was impossible not to be tempted by the sum of 100,000. But the problem is that if you choose the cooperation method, you will only be given a small amount, which is far worse than Inspector Zhou. And how much does it cost to sell it for 100,000?

“Director Zeng, what I want is not just Kowloon District, I want the whole of Hong Kong. To be honest, I want to meet Inspector Lu and cooperate with him. As long as I can successfully cooperate with Inspector Lu, what I said, I can still give it to you every month. If you choose the cooperation method, think about how big the market is in the entire Xiangjiang. Although to be honest, you have to contribute, but the income will definitely not be 100,000.”

Luo Cheng didn’t want to go around in circles with Zeng Qirong, if it was just for the sake of the Kowloon market, and he wanted to have a relationship with him. It goes without saying at all how to cooperate with Inspector Zhou. Just giving him tens of thousands a month would be enough for him to come forward and help organize a dinner party. Moreover, Inspector Zhou gets a lot, but the Coast Guard and the legalization of import and export are all his money and efforts.

Asking him to help sell things, tens of thousands is really enough. Ten thousand yuan is an astronomical figure for ordinary people in Xiangjiang.

If Zeng Qirong still couldn’t understand what Luo Cheng said, then he would have been following Detective Lu for so long. This is obviously because Luo Cheng doesn’t like himself, but his backer. But what I have to say is that if he didn’t have a backer, Luo Cheng wouldn’t really need to come to him if he had Inspector Zhou’s cooperation.

Inwardly speaking, Zeng Qirong was a little unhappy, but he didn’t show it. Luo Cheng is rich now, but his size is nothing compared to some old capitalists here. In terms of power, it was very easy for Zeng Qirong to torture Luo Cheng to death in Xiangjiang. With Detective Lu as his backer, let alone Inspector Zhou, it would be useless even if Jesus came.

But this is a fact. No one can live with money. And he also understands what his role is. Now that he has set up a line, according to the form of cooperation, he can get a lot of benefits. If Luo Cheng has the opportunity to bypass him and contact Inspector Lu directly. According to his team’s Inspector Lu’s understanding, Luo Cheng is very willing to cooperate with someone like Luo Cheng who is doing legitimate business. After all, some things are highly profitable but cannot be put on the market. In that case, Luo Cheng cooperated with Inspector Lu, but if something happened, he might still run errands, and he wouldn’t get much benefit.

“Okay, you wait for my news, I will bring you a message from Inspector Lu.”

“Then I would like to thank Director Zeng. In that case, I would also like to ask Director Zeng to bring me a gift for Inspector Lu to show my sincerity. Director Zeng also has a gift, which should have been downstairs in the teahouse.”

He had to go downstairs to see the gift, which aroused Director Zeng’s curiosity. They ordered a lot of snacks, but the two of them didn’t eat much. But since Luo Cheng mentioned the gift, the matter was actually just talked about. After all, it was the first time the two met, and there wasn’t much to talk about. The matter was explained clearly. , everyone knows it. Director Zeng naturally agreed and stood up to see what gifts Luo Cheng had brought for them.

When Luo Cheng left, the snacks on the table were not wasted. He had people pack them up and share them with the bodyguards around him later. The bodyguards around him are all paid domestically, and they don’t have money to spend randomly in Xiangjiang. Luo Cheng couldn’t afford to spend extra money on them. At most, I will give you a little as a subsidy, but if you give more, you will be afraid of violating discipline. So it’s good to give them something delicious.

Luo Cheng accompanied Zeng Qirong downstairs, and according to his instructions, a white five-seater van and a black business car arrived. There are also several finished vans at the dock, which were placed on the ship’s deck when they arrived. But because it was a finished product, three more commercial vehicles were transported. Two cargo ships could not transport many vehicles, so the accessories were easily placed.

The van was given to Zeng Qirong, and the business car was given to Inspector Lu. He also told Zeng Qirong that the van given to him was to be sold in Xiangjiang. Inspector Zhou has helped him contact a group of buyers in Wan Chai District, and Luo Cheng is now out of stock. It’s a car like this. If you sell one, you’ll be given a thousand for it, no matter what region it is, it’s the same. Of course, except for Wan Chai District.

In Wan Chai District, Inspector Zhou has already taken his share and sold it. How could he return the money to Director Zeng, and even Inspector Lu, unless Inspector Lu personally stepped forward to suppress Inspector Zhou and let Luo Cheng and him cooperation is voided.

No matter what, as long as Inspector Lu agrees to cooperate, Luo Cheng will definitely not live in Wan Chai again. Just go to Kowloon District to buy a good house or build a villa. Although his relationship with Inspector Zhou is just a relationship of interest, Luo Cheng’s current behavior is somewhat unjust.

The car is really nice, even if it is an ordinary van, Zeng Qirong likes it. Just like ‘Touch You’, it doesn’t require a rocker key, it can be started directly with the car key. Nowadays, many cars in Xiangjiang also use rocker keys. It’s not that other countries can’t make cars with key start, but that people think such cars are unsafe.

The car key is easy to install, and there is no electronic lock for additional locking. The last step is to disassemble the key lock, and really pull out the two wires and connect them together to start the engine to achieve the effect of starting the car. A skilled person can easily steal a car like this one.

But this kind of security is indeed true for some foreign countries. In a place with a large per capita area, if your car is stolen, you won’t be able to find it. But it is different in the country and in Xiangjiang.

Anyone who gets a bicycle in China will be noticed by people nearby. No one dares to touch a car. If you dare to touch it, even your rocker car key will be stolen. Anyway, he was wanted directly.

In Xiangjiang, in these areas, if you steal a car, it will be easily discovered by the entire Xiangjiang Police Station investigation. If it were a few years later, there would be more and more cars in Xiangjiang, and maybe the car would be stolen and it would be difficult to find it back. Just modify it, change the license plate or whatever, but there are the same cars everywhere on the road, and you may not be able to tell them when they pass by.

But now, such car key cars are very popular in Xiangjiang. Some wealthy girls in Xiangjiang buy “touch you” if they drive by themselves. It’s because such a car is easy to drive and start.

At this time, far away in the country, there are large trucks in the industrial zone. A fund-raising event is being assembled. Ah San is too out of touch with Xinjiang’s borders, challenging the bottom line of Rabbit Country again and again, and they have pushed a lot in the border areas.

This donation is definitely useless, and I don’t know how long I will have to fight with Ah San, if it is like the previous fight against Yingjiang and aid to Korea. The country is going to be in trouble again, and over there, although the country has not yet taken action, military supplies have been providing assistance.

But if we donate food, the industrial zone really can’t afford it. If you can donate money, donating millions is nothing to an industrial zone.

Now that the industrial zone has more than 50,000 employees, it is still controlling its development. Fifty thousand people have two meals a day, calculated as one pound of grain per meal, no matter whether it is thick or thin, it is one hundred thousand pounds a day. That’s not all. Industrial zone employees can buy extra food, plus the food coupons issued every month. If you have food coupons, you don’t need to give tickets to eat in department stores and food courts.

This is all the extra food the industrial zone obtained from exports. In the past, when there were few workers, there was still more that could be lent to Secretary Jiang. Now that there are more people, export volume has not expanded much. Luo Cheng drove a lot of cars in Xiangjiang, but Xiangjiang is a place where food is imported and the export of food is not allowed.

The only products Luo Cheng got from Xiangjiang were milk powder, candy, fruits and the like. Even these were actually imported from other places by Xiangjiang. There are trading companies doing these businesses. Luo Cheng hasn’t contacted the trading company in Xiangjiang yet. If he does, he can import grain from other places.

In Xiangjiang, what Luo Cheng did most was clothes, shoes and fabrics. In China, most people still live in patches, and even some cadres and leaders wear shabby clothes. With Luo Cheng making fabric clothes here in Xiangjiang, at least the employees and their families in the industrial zone can buy a new set of clothes for the New Year.

There is plenty of food in the industrial area, but it needs to be kept in reserve. The industrial zone can donate some, but I don’t know how the war with Asan will go. Therefore, we hope that the workers will give up half of their internal grain purchases this month, which includes hundreds of tons of grain, and use the factory’s large trucks to transport it to Xinjiang City.

As soon as this was announced through the radio station, the employees responded positively, and some even took the initiative to cancel the purchase quota for this month. But Director Du of the industrial zone said that there is no need to be too active, because wars are generally long-lasting, and we in the industrial zone may support them as long as they fight there in the future. It is impossible to feed the frontline soldiers well, but there is always no problem if they are full.

If the number of troops in subsequent battles increases, our industrial zone will donate more. There are two kilograms of food that are free of charge from the canteen every day. What if everyone donates all the extra purchased food.

It’s a pity that Luo Cheng doesn’t understand history. If he did, he would call them to stop mobilizing troops. In Asan’s country, those who bully the weak are afraid of the strong. If you tolerate him, he will think that you are easy to bully, and the tossing on the border of Xinjiang City will become more and more serious. But for real, it took a month to hit someone’s home.

This is why many people in later generations don’t understand this battle. There was nothing to publicize and no one died. If we want to promote this, it is a living story that is more dramatic than the anti-Japanese drama. No one would believe it if I told you.

(I will soon be cooperating with Inspector Lu, and the timeline will start to jump later. I hope everyone will support it until the end of the month. The treatment of Luo Cheng and some characters in a certain period will be explained. Then the ending will skip a certain period, everyone. Let’s take a final look at it. Good or bad, everyone stuck with me to finish a book. Thank you all.)
