Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

(If you think it's good, please support it by watching an ad)

After dealing with a group of people, the old man turned his head and looked at the remaining people one by one.

"You have read the documents, you have to give me an explanation."

"I have treated you well over the years. How have you repaid me?"

The old man spoke a few more words lightly.

"Boss, you treat me well, but compared to what I earn for you, what I take is insignificant."

The old man looked at the person who was speaking and asked, "Yu Fei, when did you start following me?"

"The 23rd year of the Republic of China."

Old man: "In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, you have been with me for 32 years."

"I remember when you first followed me, you were still a little boy. You were beaten half to death by a patrolman because of a bite of food."

"At that time, I saved you. I gave the patrolman who beat you two dollars. That's how we settled the matter."

"And then they let you work as a clerk in a tea shop. Is that right?"

"Boss, this is what happened."

Old man: "Tell me how I treated you afterwards, so that I can understand people's hearts again."

The middle-aged man who was asked answered with a blank expression.

"In 23, you took me in and made me a clerk in the tea shop. In 27, you promoted me to be a manager in the tea garden."

"In the 30th year of the Republic of China, you made me the head manager of all the tea shops in the province."

"In 33, you asked me to work as an international trade manager in the tea business in Tianjin, and I have been doing that ever since."

The old man stared at Yu Fei with eyes like an eagle.

"In just ten years, I first saved you from danger, then cultivated you vigorously. Then I made you a superior person."

"From being poorly clothed and hungry at first, to having enough food and drink, and then to wearing a suit and tie. The places he went to were either banquet halls or wealthy families."

"Tell me, how have I wronged you? Why have you been so ungrateful?"

The old man's words were not only spoken to Yu Fei. The other guilty people, after hearing these words, were too ashamed to face the old man.

Yu Fei: "Master, you know what? I am very grateful to you for saving me from this miserable place, and I am even more grateful for your unreserved trust in me. I am even more grateful for your great cultivation of me."

"But you should never, ever draw such a big blueprint for me. That blueprint has become my lifelong pursuit."

"You shouldn't let me give up everything when I'm in my prime and go home to be a parasite who eats and waits for death. I know that public-private partnership is the general trend and you can't change it. You don't want to find another way out. But I don't want to go home and be a useless person for the rest of my life. So, I can only fight for some benefits for myself."

Compared with those high-sounding words, Yu Fei's answer made the old man very satisfied.

The old man looked at Yu Fei with a complicated expression and said.

"Boy, do you know why I saved you and why I cultivated you so much?"

That doesn’t mean you don’t have to answer, the old man asked and answered himself.

"Because back then, I saw the unwillingness in your eyes. Even though you were beaten to a bloody pulp, your eyes still revealed your ambition to dethrone the emperor at the cost of your life."

"It turns out that my judgment was correct. In just ten years, you have grown from a small clerk to a foreign trade manager. You are so good at what you do and do that there is nothing to complain about. It's hard to find fault with you."

"You have made the tea business flourish. You have almost monopolized the foreign trade tea business. A lot of money has passed through your hands, but you have not taken any of it."

"As the saying goes, success or failure is due to Xiao He. Your ambition makes you successful, but also destroys you. It makes you see only business. You don't care about human feelings, love or hate. You are a real businessman."

"Since you have made so much money for me over the years, I will not pursue your private transfer of public funds behind my back. I hope you will take care of yourself in the days ahead. Go away~"

As Yu Fei left, the conference room fell silent again. The old man was still reminiscing about the past.

After a while, he looked at the rest of the people.

"What about you? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, your life will be difficult in the future~"

The old man's tepid words made the rest of the people feel uneasy. They were like mice seeing a cat when facing the old man.

No matter how much they yelled in private, they dared not say a single harsh word when they were facing the old man. Their fear of the old man was engraved in their bones.

"Why don't you have anything to say? Then I'll just do my job!"

One of them was so scared when he heard that the matter was handled in a fair and just manner that he immediately slapped himself in the face, one slap after another. Each slap was harder than the last. In a short while, his face was swollen like a pig's head.

Old man: "Okay, stop slapping me. You deserve to die for what you did. Remember what I told you at the beginning."

"You are a complete villain who will do anything to achieve your goal. Even if there is a public-private partnership, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. What's more, I am not that lean camel. You are not a horse either."

"You are just a fat rat at best. I won't waste my words on you. After all, you are mine. I still have to give you the respect you deserve."

"Resign from all your government positions. Then find a good place to bury yourself. Give me all the money that doesn't belong to you. Then let your family, young and old, take the money and go to Hong Kong."

"My last piece of advice to you is, don't think about grabbing at the last straw. Don't think about saving your life. Otherwise, you know my methods. If you don't want the respect I give you, don't blame me for being unkind."

"By the way, I only give you two days. Get out!"

After listening to the old man's words, he walked out of the meeting room with a pale face, and met the five latecomers at the door. They were blocked by the guards at the door and were not allowed to enter.

"Old Wang, what's with that expression on your face? What did the boss say inside?"

The man called Lao Wang saw the five people at the door and sneered with a dead look on his face: "I'm waiting for you, I'm waiting for you~"

Then he walked away with one unsteady step and his head was light-headed.

The five people at the door were so upset by this statement that they didn't know what to do.

In the meeting room, apart from Shoushan and his son and the old servant of the Li family, there were only a few people left who were not dealt with.

The old man looked at them and sighed deeply.

"I don't want to waste my time talking to you three. It's a good thing you're not like those five idiots outside the door. They don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."

"After paying out the money, I quit all my jobs. I won't hold you responsible for the rest. Don't play tricks on me. Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences. Go away~"

After the three people left, the old man lit a cigarette and said.

"Those who should be punished have been punished. Now it's time to reward those who deserve it."

"You guys have done a good job over the years. You have been conscientious and have done a good job in the tasks I asked you to do. You have not been hypocritical or had any private speculation. Your performance is also good."

"I understand what you are thinking. What you want is just as written in the document. I will give it all to you. You will take care of yourself from now on. Get out~"

Wang Dongyue: "Master, you let them go like this. Isn't that too easy for them? In my opinion, we should just handle the matter impartially. Let the government arrest them all, and put those who deserve to be imprisoned in jail, and those who deserve to be shot in prison. Those whose property should be confiscated should have their property confiscated."

The old man was not in a very good mood. He waved his hand to stop him.

"Those five idiots outside the door are in your hands. I will only stay in Tianjin for two days. I want to see the results before I leave. Also, keep an eye on those people."

After the old man finished speaking, he took his six bodyguards and left through the back door. The five people at the door of the conference room waited for a long time but didn't see the old man. So they left with a dusty face and full of worries.

The next day, at noon, the newspaper about the general manager of the largest lacquer shop in Tianjin turning himself in to the Public Security Bureau was distributed everywhere.

On the third day, at the Jinmen dock, the general manager and financial director of Shuntian Shipping Company, the manager of Guyu Porcelain Foreign Trade Company, the general manager of Hanlu Timber Factory, and the chief shopkeeper of the Chinese herbal medicine dealer Xiangfu. The news of the five people being arrested and imprisoned for corruption, bribery, and abuse of power for personal gain, selling inferior goods as good ones, bullying men and women, and making a fortune from the national crisis spread throughout Jinmen.

For a time, the whole society was discussing this matter.

In a small Western-style building in the city of Tianjin.

"Boss, is this the only way? There is no other way."

The man with messy hair, unshaven beard and bloodshot eyes sitting on the sofa was the man who the old man asked to commit suicide in the conference room two days ago.

"Another way? If the boss is so easy to deal with, those people will obey him obediently."

"You saw it in the newspapers. In just two days, those people who were once high and mighty were thrown into prison without even a single splash."

"Two of them have used their connections to build relationships with top leaders in Tianjin over the years. Has it been useful?"

"That old man's words silenced everyone."

"The old man told me to choose a place to bury myself. You and your mother will be sent to Hong Kong."

"Even with my tricks, they are powerless in front of the old man. If you don't resist and just obey me, you mothers will have a good ending."

"If I dare to do anything unusual, you will see what happens to our family. There will be no good ending for us. Even escaping overseas will be useless."

"The Li family's influence overseas is also very extensive. Okay, you mothers, pack up and go. I have explained everything that needs to be explained to you. You can leave in a few days."

As the lady went upstairs to pack her things, a gunshot rang out in the hall downstairs. The man's life ended there.

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

In the wealthy area of ​​the French Concession in front of Tianjin, a group of boys are bullying a peer.

"Wang Haoxuan, aren't you awesome? You rely on your father's status to look down on us brothers."

"Master Xuan, where are your former masters and bodyguards? Where are they?"

After saying that, he slapped the boy hard on the face.

Then he grabbed him by the collar and helped him stand up again.

"Everyone, look at our Master Xuan. You also know the injustice of being bullied."

"Think about how you treated us in the past. We were bullied by you and beaten up. We even brought gifts to your house to apologize to you."

"I didn't expect you would have this day."

The companions next to them talked one after another about the bullying that Wang Haoxuan had once inflicted on them.

Then a group of young men beat him up, and soon Wang Haoxuan was knocked to the ground. He curled up in a ball with wounds all over his body, allowing them to beat him.

It was not until someone passing by saw this scene that they drove away the group of teenagers and rescued him.

The same thing happened several times in every corner of Tianjin.

It's just that some people were rescued, while others were beaten unconscious.

If anyone pays close attention to this matter, they will find that those who were beaten are all family members and children of those who were arrested and imprisoned in today's newspapers.
