Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Li Jie stopped laughing wildly and said seriously again: "There is a small problem with our land!"

"What did you say?" Gao Hongda asked quickly.

Li Jie narrated: "Secretary Zheng Shaoqiu and Director Li Jianjun of the development zone had different opinions. Director Li made it clear that he could directly obtain the land through the land approval slip, but Secretary Zheng insisted on following the listing procedure."

"Zheng Shaoqiu?" Gao Hongda didn't hear much of the rest of his words, but the name caught his attention. He didn't understand the twists and turns here, scratched his head and asked: "We are not engaged in development, so there is no need to put it up for auction, right?"

Li Jie replied: "It would be easy to go through the approval process directly. I have gone through this matter several times, and they themselves cannot agree on it. I think it is necessary to make an appointment with Director Li Jianjun to sit down with him."

Gao Hongda immediately agreed: "Let's make an appointment tonight, sooner rather than later!"

Li Jie immediately took out his phone and was about to make a call when the phone rang. He signaled Gao Hongda to be quiet and then picked it up. Then he kept replying: "Okay, okay!"

After hanging up the phone, he said to Gao Hongda: "We don't need to make an appointment. He took the initiative to find us. We will go to Yanjing Nightclub tonight."

Gao Hongda was confused. Is this nightclub a place for serious business? Does it remind us that we need to engage in some hidden operations? Ignoring him for now, I went to the bank to withdraw 5 yuan and take it with me. When it comes to when push comes to shove, you can put your money where your mouth is.

At night, the nightclub is bustling with neon lights, and the enthusiastic young men and women on the dance floor are shaking their heads and dancing strange dances to their heart's content.

When they arrived at the extra large private room they had arranged for, it was very quiet inside, not as noisy as elsewhere. After entering, the two of them were surprised and then calmed down. Li Jianjun was not the only one in the private room. There were two people sitting on the sofa, with a burly man standing on each side. In front of them stood a dozen slutty young men, and lying on the ground was a man covered in blood. young man. The heel of his left foot was bleeding profusely.

Lao Li ignored the others and went directly to the two people on the sofa and greeted them one by one. The two stood up and shook hands one after another. Li Jie waved to Gao Hongda to come with him and introduced them one by one.

The one who is smiling all the time is Director Li Jianjun. The man next to him with a fierce look but a grin is the local number one brother Jiang Tianlu. From his appearance, Gao Hongda feels that this man has an unusually fierce temperament. It seems that everyone in the room is full of them. His little brother.

After listening to the introduction, Jiang Tianlu took the initiative to add to Li Jianjun: "This young man is tied with the top national player in a big factory. It has spread in the society. The young man has been very popular recently. Today is also the first time I have met him, which is a bit impressive!" "After speaking, he grabbed Gao Hongda's hand and shook it vigorously.

Gao Hongda smiled modestly and said, "It was just a fluke. Senior Brother Luo drank too much that day."

Jiang Tianlu interrupted him and said: "We all know Master Luo's Kung Fu. There are not many people who can go several rounds with him. Don't be humble and sit down."

After the four people sat down, Jiang Tianlu waved to a group of younger brothers to carry the man lying on the ground out. However, the man on the ground raised his head hard and glared at him fiercely. Gao Hongda was stunned. Isn't this Liu Xin? In his previous life, he was in the eastern suburbs. The desperado I met, one of them had no job at the time, and the other was seeking revenge. By some strange combination of circumstances, they hid in a small rental house. They were hungry for several days. Later, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they came out to pretend to be a gangster. After collecting the protection fee from the street stall, I finally had two full meals. Two poor guys with completely different personalities actually felt sympathy for each other. A few days later, Gao Hongda, who was really desperate, found a place to work as a security guard in charge of food and accommodation. Liu Xin disappeared with Gao Hongda's money from selling mobile phones. Later I heard that he became a violent gangster and was fed peanuts for intentional murder. Even until his death, he never confessed that he and Gao Hongda had stabbed someone in revenge.

Now that I encountered him in this situation, I really lamented the fate of the people.

Gao Hongda asked everyone to wait: "Boss Jiang, what's going on with this kid?"

Jiang Tianlu lit up a cigarette and slowly blew out a smoke ring. He acted like a big brother and said slowly and calmly: "If a little brat dares to cause trouble in my place, pick his hamstring." A little lesson.”

It seemed like he had done this cruel thing more than once.

Gao Hongda turned around and asked the young man on the ground: "Brother, where are you from? You are quite smart. You dare to cause trouble here. What is your name?"

"I'm from Texas. If you don't change your surname, you won't change your name, Liu Xin!" This guy has been treated like this, and his mouth is quite tough.

Gao Hongda smiled slightly: "Texas? The place where braised chicken is produced! I think we are quite destined. I like to eat duck scalded in oil."

A group of people around were really puzzled: "Where did they go from here, and they are suddenly destined to be together! Could it be that the fried duck and the braised chicken once eloped?"

Gao Hongda said to Jiang Tianlu: "Boss Jiang, my master said that you should accumulate virtue and do good deeds when you are away from home. Can you give me a chance to give this little brother a sauna?"

Then Jiang Tianlu said generously: "Little brother, do whatever you want!"

Gao Hongda handed over his hands to the group of little brothers and said: "Brothers, if you are troubled, send him to the hospital. Don't dirty Brother Jiang's place. Here is 1 yuan. Pay him 5 yuan for the surgery." Let’s buy a pack of cigarettes for the rest.” After saying that, he took out some money from his bag and stretched it out to everyone.

A guy who looked like a little boss asked Jiang Tianlu for instructions with his eyes. After getting the other party's nod, he immediately took the money and said thank you, and directed several people to take Liu Xin out. A waiter came in and carefully mopped the floor.

Several people continued to sit down and talk about business.

Director Li Jianjun's words were full of official accent: "Xiao Gao, at such a young age, you have the courage to come to the eastern suburbs to invest and build a factory to support our local economic construction. On behalf of the Development Zone Management Committee, I would like to express my welcome. We have also discussed the land use issue. This We have not yet reached a unified opinion. Today, two people came to Mr. Jiang, and they also tried their best to promote our cooperation with the help of Mr. Jiang’s personal network resources and ability."

Jiang Tianlu said very freely: "Brother, I also have some connections in the province and city. Isn't it that Zheng Shaoqiu who wants to stir up trouble now? No matter whether he is black or white, I can make him unable to stay here. To be honest, brother I originally planned to use that piece of land to build an ecological park, but now that Lao Li has come forward, we will not consider that piece of land and leave it to you, brother!"

Li Jie asked: "Director Li, is there any other way to quickly solve the problem of land?"

Li Jianjun took a deep breath of cigarette and said: "This matter is a bit difficult. No one in the system can make the decision alone. In fact, you can consider cooperating with Mr. Jiang. Use your funds and Mr. Jiang's personal relationships to build a strong United, let Mr. Jiang take care of the above matters, you just wait until construction starts!" His words were serious and his expression was normal, but Gao Hongda read a lot of greed and evil thoughts in his eyes.

Gao Hongda motioned for everyone to have a drink, and then asked calmly: Mr. Jiang, if we cooperate, how will the shares be divided?

Jiang Tianlu patted his thigh and said: "Call me brother, don't be so outsider. In fact, according to the rules of the world here, it's [-]-[-]. The little brother and Lao Li are not outsiders. You can't suffer as a brother. In this way, you are six and I am four, you contribute money and I contribute effort, and I will bring a group of my brothers to work for you to ensure your safety."

Good guy. This appetite is really big. Li Jie became a little uneasy. Just when he was about to speak, Gao Hongda waved his hand to stop him. He leaned on the back of the sofa and tried to look relaxed: "To be honest, when I was a child, I lived there in my hometown. Together, my family also wanted to make some social friends, but they didn’t have much industry. They had everything but no money. Later, a foreigner came to Xuzhou to invest in mining, and our family helped him solve the problems in society and the government. We hold [-]% of the shares.”

Director Li Jianjun spoke: "Oh, oh, I understand. Comrade Xiao Gao means that the share issue can be discussed, right? This is no problem. What do you think, Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Tianlu nodded slowly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his expression was very cold.

Gao Hongda smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. Listen to what I have to say. Although our family only holds [-]% of the shares, after two years, the entire mining area will belong to our family, and the investment boss lost everything in the end. "

After hearing this, Jiang Tianlu said in a cold tone: "Brother said this, it is clear that he does not trust his brother."

The atmosphere at the scene became a little tense. Lao Li secretly reached for the wine bottle on the table. Gao Hongda, who was sitting next to him, gently pressed on his leg to signal him not to be impulsive.

Jiang Tianlu was obviously angry. He took out a pistol from his waist and slapped it on the table. Director Li pretended to comfort him and said, "Old Jiang, what are you doing? Don't scare the children. Put it away quickly."

Jiang Tianlu said: "Don't get me wrong, I want to swear on this gun that I have a bottom line in what I do."

Gao Hongda took a serious look at the dark guy, pretending to be very interested and said: "Boss Jiang, this is an American-made 1911. The rations for this thing are not easy to handle, but this pneumatic one is easier to match with bullets. You can buy a lot of them for ten yuan at any bicycle repair shop. We call them handheld machines."

Gao Hongda is not afraid of this thing at all. There are rumors in the society that he, Jiang, made his fortune by selling drugs and arms, which is pure nonsense. Although the three-junction area in the eastern suburbs is a mixed bag of fish and dragons and the public security is not good, anyone who dares to play with a gun at the feet of the emperor is purely a rat. That's why he dared to make a bold guess. This is a metal toy gun. After speaking, he turned back to Lao Li and said, "Brother Li must have shot a lot of guns in the army, right?"

Lao Li snorted coldly: "You talk nonsense, I feel like vomiting."

Gao Hongda ignored the two people at this moment and started chatting with Lao Li: "I have been playing since I was a child. My family mines. There are always some wild cats and dogs on the mountain to cause trouble. The most indispensable thing at home is this kind of fire-breathing one." As a kid, I used to use explosives as cannons."

Jiang Tianlu was so angry that his teeth chattered, and he said to himself, you kid, you don't take me seriously at all. A big man behind him walked up behind Gao Hongda and strangled Gao Hongda's neck, and his mouth was dirty. He scolded: "You little bastard, if my elder brother talks about business with you again, don't give me any fucking face!"

But as soon as he said this, he suddenly screamed miserably, because his arm was dislocated at the joint by Gao Hongda, and it hung down weakly.

Gao Hongda pushed the man away and said calmly: "The adults are talking, and the children are staying aside."

Jiang Tianlu's eyes widened with anger, he stood up and slapped his younger brother on the face, cursing: "You blind thing, you have no rules, get out of here."

After being beaten, the guy lowered his head and went out while holding his dislocated arm. Ponyboy standing at the door looked curious, why was this so-called boss of the Four King Kongs so embarrassed and even had his arm folded? No one dared to ask. The two people came over and helped him to the hospital.

Director Li slammed the coffee table angrily and said loudly: "We are here to talk about business today. The purpose is to make money together. Aren't we here to be brave and fierce? Don't you know how to make money by being friendly?"

Jiang Tianlu said bitterly: "Some people not only don't want to make money, they don't even want their lives!"

Gao Hongda said unhurriedly: "Boss Jiang is joking. If your life is gone, no matter how much money you have, it will be useless. But when you have enough money, you can ask the gods to save your life!"

"Brother, you have to be careful in the future. Be careful, even gods take naps. It would be bad if you accidentally fall and break your legs and arms." Jiang Tianlu's tone was gloomy.

Gao Hongda ignored him this time, and turned back to Li Jianjun and said: "Since we can't agree on the development zone, we won't force it. I'm still in school, so I won't think blindly for the time being. Besides, this eastern suburb town is no better than the capital city. I don’t need commercial concrete for half a year, and I’m not short of money to spend. It would be nice to go home and continue mining after graduation. But I still have to thank Director Li for his support!”

Then Director Li expressed a pity: "That's a pity. I originally wanted to promote a cooperation, but I didn't expect it to end up like this."

Li Jie then said: "Business cannot be done without justice, so I still have to thank Boss Jiang for the treat." This time he did not call him eldest brother. Now that we've broken our hearts, why are we so afraid?

Jiang Tianlu snorted coldly: "With Director Li's face, Sixth, we are still buddies. I remind this little brother that society is in deep water and the road is slippery in the dark. You must learn to keep a low profile."

Gao Hongda said with a flattering smile: "What Boss Jiang taught me is that my family didn't teach me this since I was a child. They told me every day that if anyone wants to touch you outside, even if it's the King of Heaven, we have to give him all the land." Damn it. Do you think I can learn well? I made you laugh!"

Jiang Tianlu said in a threatening tone: "Young man, this is the foot of the emperor. It's not a corner of your small village. If you fall, be careful that your family can't reach you even if they want to help you!"

Gao Hongda nodded and said: "Yes, yes, the little boss is right. I will not only walk well in the future, but I will smooth out the uneven roads before walking!"

Li Jianjun could hear the bad intentions in the tone of the two people. If he couldn't hear this, the director of the development zone should stop doing it. He quickly interrupted the two of them: "Okay, stop talking. If you want to sing, just sing. If you don't want to sing, just sing." Drink, if you don’t drink, go dance, if you don’t dance, we’ll end the show and go home!”

Gao and Li were about to stand up and leave when Jiang Tianlu stopped them: "I heard that Brother Gao Hongda has some skills. It just so happens that I have a few brothers who also practice three-legged cats. Today, I want you to give me some advice on two moves. It won’t be too embarrassing for these brothers to go out to do business in the future.”

What he said was obviously meant to attack the two of them. Gao Hongda readily agreed: "It's not about giving guidance, it's just about stretching out your hand. The rules of martial arts, life and death are determined by destiny. In case you brothers don't have anything to hand, Boss Jiang must not forget to find two people to carry me." Send to hospital.”

"It's a small thing, that's what it should be!" Although these two people were always smiling, their murderous intentions were already revealed.

Gao Hongda took off his coat and threw his bag to Lao Li. He turned around and said to Jiang Tianlu: "No matter whether we win or lose today, let's not say much to the outside world. Losing our lives is a small thing, but losing face is a big thing."

Li Jie took off his coat, threw away his handbag, kicked their clothes and bags to the corner with his feet, stretched his hands and feet and said: "I haven't moved my old arms and legs for almost ten years. Today Let’s practice with you.”

Jiang Tianlu didn't stop her. She stretched out her hand towards the door and made a gesture of invitation. Obviously, he didn't intend to take into account the brotherhood today.

Gao Hongda understood that Li Jianjun and Jiang Tianlu were definitely not the noble people the master said, but a pair of bitches.
