Because the Qing Gang has withdrawn from the competition for the leadership, and Wu Xing and Zhongyi Society have no ambitions, the only forces competing for the leadership this time are the Hong Gang, Santonghui and Baijia Gang.

To be more precise, only An Yufeng, Wu Zantong and Zhai Li were left.

Whether it is the forces within the foot industry or the outside parties who are concerned about it, they basically all agree that a new leader of the foot industry will be born among these three people. Even the three of them think this is the case.

So just when Su Yi convened a meeting with his subordinates, these three people were also moving up and down, busy working to reach the top.

Zhai Lili made friends with many foreigners because of human trafficking, so he received the support of the French and British Concession Industry Bureaus.

Wu Zantong himself had the support of the Japanese Concession, and he also won the support of the Italian Concession. Coupled with some people from the government departments, he also had a great advantage.

But no matter how much they jumped up and down, they were still much worse than the Hong Gang.

Jiang Banruo, the leader of Jinmen Hong Gang, is a big shot who chats and laughs with Yu Xuezhong. He has many friends among high-level officials in Guofu. In the business world and the underworld, others have to give him face.

Not to mention, the Hong Gang is a big gang alongside the Qing Gang. If the Qing Gang does not come out, the Hong Gang will be the well-deserved Nanbo Bay.

In terms of the number of members, the Baijia Clan and the Santonghui combined are not as much as half of the Hong Clan.

In terms of sphere of influence, the Hong Gang's territory is also spread across various concessions.

In short, although Wu Zantong and Zhai Lili have won some cards for themselves, in general, An Yufeng still has a great advantage.

So many people in Jinmen felt that if there were no surprises, An Yufeng would be the leader of this session.

An Yufeng himself was also complacent, feeling that if nothing unexpected happened, he was sure of himself.

Unfortunately, when he went to see Jiang Banruo, the latter poured cold water on him.

"You are not made to be a leader in the walking industry, so stop arguing." Jiang Banruo said leisurely. His tone of voice was very soft and his speaking speed was also slow, giving people a slow and leisurely feeling.

"Mountain Master, why am I not qualified to be a leader?" An Yufeng felt like a bolt from the blue and was very unconvinced, "A person like Bayanqing can be a leader, what's wrong with me?"

"You are not even a little inferior in ability and character." Jiang Banruo said, "The most important thing is that you have no self-awareness. You can't even see how Bayanqing is better than you."

"Please give me some advice from the mountain master!" An Yufeng said with a smile on his face.

Jiang Banruo smiled hoarsely and said: "Are you still not convinced? Let me ask you, back then, Ba Yanqing started out in a small gang, fought all the way up, subdued the major gangs, and obtained the support of various official forces. In the end, everyone supported it. He is the leader. If it were you, could you do it?"

"That's because he is thick-skinned!" An Yufeng snorted coldly, "He worshiped both the Qing Gang and the Hong Gang, kowtowed to foreigners, and accepted a government official who was two years younger than him as his godfather. How shameless!"

"Being thick-skinned is also a skill that most people can't do." Jiang Banruo said, "Just like you, you would rather take the straight from the straight rather than seek from the humble. You have the integrity, but you don't have enough brains to succeed. Big deal."

"If you become a leader, you will definitely be harmed by others within two years." Jiang Banruo said calmly, "And you can't convince the crowd, and you can't treat the Santonghui and the Baijia Gang like you." Duanping."

An Yufeng didn't know how to argue, but he still refused: "Mountain Master, I have the greatest advantage now, why don't I want the position that is easily available to me?"

"It's easy to die, so why don't you go?" Jiang Banruo said with a smile, "You can't do many things just because they are easy to do."

"Then you can just watch these two insidious villains Zhai Lili and Wu Zantong become the walking leader?" An Yufeng was in a bad mood, "Mountain Master, if I let them become the leader, I would rather die!"

"Them? They are not the material to be a leader." Jiang Banruo said, "Even if he does, it won't last long. Wu Zantong is the Zhepeng people's dog. If he were to be a leader, his actions would be in name only and he would do his own thing. No one would obey him. "

"As for Zhai Lili... Haha, this man only cares about money. He will sell his liba to foreigners. Do you think he can last long?"

"I can't do it, and neither can they, so who do you think can do it?" An Yufeng said with a dark face, "You don't think highly of Jia Changqing, do you?"

"Jia Changqing is a little better than the three of you, but not by much." Jiang Banruo said, "Don't think that the leader has to be the one among you. There are many heroes in the wilderness. You, your vision is too narrow, just I can only see the palm in front of me is a little bigger."

"Anyway, you just look down on me. You think even outsiders look down on me! Do you think Jia Changqing is worse than me! Huh, after following you for so many years, I am inferior to others everywhere. It's so hurtful!" An Yufeng got emotional! , yelled unhappily.

Jiang Banruo smiled. An Yufeng was loyal to him. He understood An Yufeng like he knew his own son. He knew that although this guy was still uncomfortable in his heart, he had actually listened to his words.

"Don't even think about fighting for the top spot. You're going to have a hard time with this hurdle alone." Jiang Banruo said, "Wu Zantong and Zhai are powerful and weak. If they want to get ahead, they will definitely join forces to lead you out. But you now If you are not prepared at all, you will definitely suffer a big loss."

"Ah?" An Yufeng was stunned, "Do you think they will join forces to deal with me?"

"Have you listened to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms book in vain?" Jiang Banruo said, "Why did Zhuge Liang join forces with Wu to fight against Cao Cao?"

Snapped!

An Yufeng slapped his thigh and suddenly realized: "Damn it, I've become a thief! No, I have to get ready to go quickly, otherwise if they really come and set fire to Red Cliff, then I won't be able to eat and walk away!"

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Banruo: "Whether I am the leader or not is a matter for the future. I can't lose this battle."

After that, without saying goodbye to Jiang Banruo, he turned around and ran out in a hurry.

Before anyone could go out, they started shouting: "Who is that? Quick! Call me some people, I have something to say!"

Jiang Banruo looked at An Yufeng's back and shook his head, laughing, then sighed softly and inaudibly.

In fact, although what he said to An Yufeng was true, it didn't mean anything, and it wasn't the reason why he didn't want An Yufeng to be the leader.

It doesn't matter that An Yufeng doesn't have a long vision and An Yufeng doesn't have the ability. With him, Jiang Banruo, sitting behind him, An Yufeng, a person who obeys his words, can do it even if he doesn't.

If Jiang Prajna really wanted to fight for the top spot, I'm afraid the situation would have been clear by now.

But Jiang Banruo didn't want the Hong Gang to be the leader of the footwear industry at all. The reason was very simple. He had too deep ties with the top management of Guofu. Once he becomes the actual owner of Jixing, the senior officials of the Guo Mansion will regard Jixing as theirs and make various demands from him.

If you refuse, you will definitely offend others; if you don't refuse, you will become a tool for some people to make money, and the Hong Gang will become their puppets.

Jiang Banruo had foreseen such an outcome, so he simply gave up the fight for the leading position.

As long as the Hong Gang doesn't become the leader, they can always make a fortune quietly under the protection of Jixing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Banruo couldn't help but think of another person - Geng Liangchen.

Geng Liangchen came into Jiang Banruo's sight after Liu Deshan was deposed. From the perspective of a bystander, Jiang Banruo combined all the clues and finally came to a conclusion that was unbelievable to him - this Geng Liangchen was probably the real murderer of Bayanqing, and he was probably very powerful. Ambition and planning for this.

Of course, this conclusion is just his guess and he has no evidence.

But if half of what he guessed is true, then this Geng Liangchen is the person most likely to win the leading position!

Although Jiang Banruo has no intention of competing for the position of leader, he is still willing to lay a good foundation for a relationship with the future leader in advance.

That's why he sent jade and silk to express his goodwill to Geng Liangchen in advance. If you don't win this bid, forget about it. Once you win, Hong Bang and An Yufeng will have an easier time in the future.

The facts turned out to be just as Jiang Banruo had expected. At dawn the next day, the streets were filled with shouts of murder, and all strongholds of the Hong Gang were attacked.

Santonghui and Baijiabang have joined forces!

Fortunately, An Yufeng got Jiang Banruo's warning in advance and made preparations early, so he didn't abandon his armor from the beginning and be defeated.

The fighting between the two sides was in a stalemate, with you coming and going, and the fight was extremely lively.

After all, it was the Santonghui and the Baijia Gang who calculated mentally and unintentionally, and coupled with their scheming, the two soon gained the upper hand and began to continuously attack the city and occupy the territory of the Hong Gang, which made An Yufeng very anxious and exhausted. .

An Yufeng finally came to his senses. Why should he fight for the lead? If I don't cope well today, I'm afraid I'll end up like Jia Changqing!

Just as the three parties were fighting, on the deserted beach outside Jiuda Pier, thousands of Liba gathered together, with faces as cheerful as the Chinese New Year.

"Did you hear that? Master Geng summoned us today and said that he wanted to reduce our rental car payment by ten yuan. I don't know if it is true or not?"

"Really! Our Zhang Tou told me this personally! Master Geng said that if we work under him, he will benefit us! Listen, these words are very heart-wrenching! Yesterday we When several people heard this, Ergazi cried on the spot! How kind Master Geng is, so benevolent and righteous. It is a blessing for us to be able to follow such a leader in three lifetimes!"

"That's right, Master Geng is always kind to us. Whenever he hears that one of our families is sick or in trouble, he will help us without saying a word. And last time Dachengzi was bullied by the French Concession patrol. I heard that Master Geng and Mr. Liao Xianyong were both He slammed the table, he really made the decision for us!"

"Master Geng is so good. I think he is not a little Mengchang at all, he is a living Bodhisattva! He is here to save the poor like us!"

"Yes, yes, who else is willing to take money out of their own pockets to supplement our hardships? Haha? Won't they keep the money themselves? Master Geng feels sorry for the hardships of our lives!"

The Lipas were chatting enthusiastically below, and everyone was very excited.

Soon, someone shouted "Master Geng is here", and the whole place burst into thunderous cheers.

"Master Geng! Master Geng! Master Geng..."

Everyone raised their arms and shouted loudly, like a mountain roaring and a tsunami rising, one wave after another, and the atmosphere was extremely enthusiastic.

Su Yi walked onto the high platform amidst such cheers. He looked around with a smile and pressed his hands gently.

The cheers that had been roaring like a tsunami just now suddenly died down and became silent in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the crowd of people in the dark audience, looking at their expectant and enthusiastic eyes, Su Yi smiled and spoke.

"Brothers! I am Geng Liangchen. There should be everyone who doesn't know me, right?"

"I know. Who dares to say that they don't know Master Geng? I will be the first to refuse!" Brother Kuan shouted from below.

There was a sudden roar of laughter and applause.

Su Yi smiled and continued: "It's good to know each other. Since you recognize me, you should know that I, Geng Liangchen, talk like a nail! What I say today, you don't have to worry about me lying to you, and you don't have to worry about what I say. It doesn’t count.”

"I've called everyone together today to talk about three things in total. Let's talk about the first thing first. Everyone knows that Uncle Ba, the leader of our walking tour, was killed! Uncle Ba is dead, and our share of this month's money , there is no need to turn it in."

"I, Geng Liangchen, could have put this money into my own pocket, but I was not sure! Why? Because when I think about the brothers who work with me and are still hungry, when I think about how these brothers still live I feel ashamed for living a hard life!"

"You call me Master Geng, and if I still leave you without enough to eat and your whole family goes hungry, then am I, Geng Liangchen, worthy of you calling me Master Geng?"

"I have a wish! That is, all my brothers will not seek to be rich and powerful, but they will definitely be able to feed and feed the whole family! I am a person with shallow eyes and cannot bear to see my brothers suffer and live a hard life! I hope that those who follow me will People will no longer suffer from poverty and hunger!”

"Of course, I am not a charity person, and you are not begging for food. You make money based on your ability. I will try my best to keep you fed and clothed as much as I can! As long as you work hard and work hard, wages are not a matter of , I, Geng Liangchen, assure you that it is definitely the highest price in Tianjin and even the whole country!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Long live Master Geng! Long live Master Geng!"

The Liba people below were howling and shouting excitedly, all of them excited.

Su Yi laughed and pressed his hands again, suddenly raising his voice and shouting: "I declare! All the footwork under my name, Geng Liangchen, and all the libas under my Geng Liangchen, this month's car rental fee will be reduced by ten oceans." ! In other words, for your car rental fee this month, you only need to pay fifteen oceans to me, Geng Liangchen, and that’s enough!"

"Ouch!"

The cheers and roars below became even more intense.

Ten oceans!

The monthly net income of these Lipas is only seven or eight oceans, but now they suddenly have an extra "income" of ten oceans for nothing. How can they not be happy?

Although they had known for a long time that Su Yi summoned them to distribute money, when these words actually came out of Su Yi's mouth, everyone could not contain the joy and emotion in their hearts.

Many Liba had tears in their eyes and couldn't control themselves with excitement.

These miserable people who are usually looked down upon by others, even if you treat them with a little kindness, they would like to treat you with all their heart.

But now, what Su Yi paid was real money, how could they not be moved?
