Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Li Le had lived a very comfortable life in the past few years. He was like a fish in water in the position of Chief Chinese Inspector, because the public security in the entire Jiang Island was one of the best. The pseudo-governor trusted and respected him very much, and even got Li Le a small gift when he was awarded a medal.

There is not even a trace of any historical corruption cases or dismissals of detectives.

This is Li Le in public. Privately, Li Le meets with the bosses of every company every month, calculates the month's profits, and then takes what is due, divides it up, keeps a portion for himself, and gives the rest to Zeng Wangcai.

With so much money passing through his hands every month, would Li Le be tempted?

It turns out, no!

Li Le didn't have the courage, he didn't even dare to think about it. Now he would occasionally dream about the scene when he was against Zeng Wangcai. A head just exploded and a life was lost.

Later, the company changed its leader and felt that the money they had to pay every month was too unfair, so they colluded with the accountant to cook the books.

The end result was that the company disappeared entirely and the industry was divided up by other companies.

When Li Le personally led people to deal with the boss of this company, he found out that Zeng Wangcai had never relaxed his control over Jiangdao's underground world.

In this situation, with money to be made and endless amounts of money to be paid, and a high official status to be achieved, would Li Le be so foolish as to have any other thoughts?

No, not at all!

Not only Li Le did not have this problem, the bosses of other companies were all very content and were thriving in their own industries. They all knew that they were able to clean themselves up and have the life they have today thanks to Zeng Wangcai, because it was Zeng Wangcai who gave them these industries.

Although Zeng Wangcai has not been seen for a long time in the Jiangdao underground world, his status is definitely higher than that of the Godfather and he is a god-like existence.

Li Le felt that being able to call Zeng Wangcai "Brother Cai" was a blessing from his ancestors, otherwise he would have disappeared long ago.

"Do you know about Wangye Island?" Zeng Wangcai waved his hand, pointed to the stool beside him and said, "Sit down, don't stand, don't be restrained, we are all family now."

"Don't dare!"

"Just sit down if I tell you to!" Xiao Bao came over with a bowl of fish ball noodles and said unhappily, "Don't be so pretentious. My big brother doesn't like it. Do you want to eat noodles?"

Xiaobao took out some of the grievances he suffered from Linghua on Li Le.

"Eat noodles?" Li Le was stunned for a moment before saying, "One bowl... that's fine too!"

"Wait!" Xiao Bao put down the fish ball noodles, turned around and left again. After a while, he brought two bowls of noodles, one for himself and one for Li Le.

"Eat and talk while eating!" Zeng Wangcai said, while picking up the bowl and starting to eat.

"Thank you, Brother Cai!" Li Le relaxed. He was worried about the suspension of flights to Wangye Island. "Brother Cai, I know about this, but it was Wei Xin who ordered it himself. We can't stop it."

"Wei Xin is finished?" Zeng Wangcai raised his eyebrows.

Wei Xin, the pseudo-governor of Jiangdao at this time, was the one who benefited.

Zeng Wangcai didn't have much of an impression of this person. He didn't hate him, nor did he like him.

It seems that Wei Xin still couldn't escape the influence of big families and big capital.

"Yes!" Li Le immediately said, "We are already working on it. I believe that shipping will be restored soon."

"Haha, you think too simply!" Zeng Wangcai shook his head and said, "It won't work for you to take the official route this time. Wei Xin won't give you face."

This so-called "you" includes, besides Li Le, some wealthy people from Jiangdao.

For example, Li Jiacheng, the Bao family, and so on. These people around Zeng Wangcai are all connected to each other, otherwise they would not be able to control such a large river island.

But then again, Zeng Wangcai’s control over Jiangdao does not rely on them.

"Then what should we do?" Li Le stopped eating and asked, "Brother Cai, please give me a clear solution. Mr. Bao's business has been greatly affected, and your other businesses have also been greatly affected. Someone is targeting you. If this continues, the losses will be immeasurable."

"Don't worry, there won't be any losses!" Zeng Wangcai finished his noodles and drank the soup in a few mouthfuls, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Someone will pay for all the losses. They think they can force me to bow my head by cutting off my business...

"Old Li, when have you ever seen me bow my head?"

"No..." Li Le smiled awkwardly.

Li Le didn't dare to say the following words. He wanted to say that anyone who had seen you bow your head should just die.

"That's right, make some calls and get some people!" Zeng Wangcai wiped his mouth and said, "Notify all the bosses and tell them that I, Zeng Wangcai, will host a banquet in Temple Street tomorrow and that everyone must come. Oh, and... ask CEO Xiangyan and CEO Jiaopiyu to come first. I have something to say to them individually."

"Yes, Brother Cai, I will make sure everyone is here!" Li Le agreed immediately.

"It's okay, eat first, and then call after you finish eating. Call here!" Zeng Wangcai took out a cigarette and lit it.

Xiang Yan's Xin'an Company and the later-comer Jiaopiyu 14,000 Company are two of the three largest companies in Jiangdao. Their industries are quite high-end, and they and another company own half of the real estate in Jiangdao. The other half is in the hands of ordinary wealthy people.

Among them, Jiaopiyu also controls a large part of the hotel industry in Jiangdao, which was slowly built up by Zeng Wangcai's investment. Xiangyan's 14,000 company focuses on the entertainment industry.

Zeng Wangcai wants to talk to these two people mainly because they have many industries under their control.

Li Le didn’t know what Zeng Wangcai was going to do, but that didn’t stop him from making the call.

"Hey, Mr. Jiao, tomorrow at 11:00 noon, Temple Street... What, you're busy? Brother Cai is treating... You must come, right? OK..."

"Hey, Mr. Xiang, Brother Cai is hosting a wedding banquet. It will be held at Temple Street at 11:00 tomorrow morning... If you are late, you know the consequences."

"Boss... at twelve o'clock, Brother Cai will host a banquet!"

"Mr. Yuan..."

Zeng Wangcai listened to Li Le talking on the phone for more than ten minutes, and after he hung up, he asked, "Are there so many in Jiangdao now? There are more than ten or twenty. I remember there weren't so many before."

"Brother Cai, there have been new developments in recent years, you may not remember." Li Le immediately replied respectfully, "Compared to before, a few more seats have been added, all of which were separated from the 14,000 company, and the industry was allocated by Mr. Bao."

"Yes, yes, that's right!" Zeng Wangcai remembered.

When Jiaopiyu became the boss with a salary of 14,000, some bosses in the original company who were on equal footing with Jiaopiyu disagreed and almost had a fight. In the end, Zeng Wangcai asked Bao An to give these big brothers some industries and settle them down.

However, it happened a long time ago and Zeng Wangcai had forgotten about it.

"Brother Cai!" Li Le said again, "Now Jiangdao's emerging industries are basically all in our hands. Some of the old industries have disappeared, but the rest have been slowly absorbed by us. But don't worry, we haven't taken any drastic measures. Franchise, as you said, they won't suffer any loss. They just pay a little money for peace of mind, and the government won't cause any trouble. They make money."

Zeng Wangcai couldn't say anything about these. Each era has its own characteristics, and it's not easy to be a saint.

The next day, Temple Street was closed.

Temple Street, which had become a tourist landmark in Jiangdao, was closed without any official announcement or prior notice. This tourist attraction, which did not belong to anyone, was closed.

Tourists came to the closed end of Temple Street and looked at the most famous Tiandi Grocery Store. Those who had doubts were immediately rebuked by local residents.

No one is allowed in. Today, Boss Zeng who has not been seen for a long time comes back, and no one is allowed in.

"Make way..." When the local residents saw the familiar grocery store van coming, they spontaneously drove away the tourists, "Make way, Mr. Zeng is coming..."
