This Mayu did not hide it. After the initial politeness, he directly stated his intention of coming. The threat implied in this kind of words was not beyond my expectation.
It's just... Sigh, why do gangsters like to pretend to be cultural people more and more now? Is it a fashion
Bao Yazhou seemed to be about to refuse, but I looked at the time, then stared at Ma Yu, and suddenly said, "Ma Yu, let me ask you a question. Is it easy to make money by playing gangsters in China?"
"...Huh?" Ma Yu froze for a moment.
I'm the least lazy to go around in circles... If it's between politicians, it's normal to go around in circles and talk about being sloppy for hours... But come on, we are a gangster! If even gangsters have to use this way of Tai Chi to talk, wouldn't it be annoying
"What I mean is, Ma Yu, how much leverage do you think you have, are you qualified enough to talk to me?" With a calm face, I threw this sentence out directly.
Ma Yu suddenly changed color slightly, and then glanced at me with a little disdain: "Mr. Chen, I guess you don't know much about the domestic market rules?"
He showed a bit of arrogance: "Over the years, many large foreign companies have come here to do business, but in this land, there are naturally rules here! Not everything is as you think. For example, last year, a Foreign transportation companies come here to set up branches! It is because, um, some joints are not done well, thinking that they are rich and powerful, and have a good relationship with the government, so they don't take us who live on the streets... Do you know the result?"
"I don't know." I shrugged.
"As a result, within a month, he couldn't even recruit a local driver! They set up a warehouse here, and they couldn't even recruit a porter!!" Ma Yu couldn't hide the arrogant look on his face: "They have What about the official way? What if they are a big company? I still have a way to make them obey."
I didn't speak.
I also have no doubt that he has this kind of ability... Any local gangster-like force can do this... But...
This method may be effective against legal foreign businessmen who have no roots in the local area, but if it is used against me who is also a gangster and has far more power than him... it would be a bit too BC.
I saw a hint of a smile in Zhou Zhou's eyes.
"Ma Yu." I called his name directly, and didn't even bother to say "Mr. Mayu" at least. I was very calm, and I didn't mean to get angry at his provocations and threats. This is normal... Will a lion get angry when he faces an ant that barks its teeth and claws at him
"...Ma Yu." I said lightly: "Actually, I think you are very good. It can be seen that you should have some brains. But contrary to your estimation, it's not that I don't know the domestic situation... In fact, I just came from It has only been a few years since I went out of China. I have no doubt that what you just said, you can do, I believe."
"Oh? So you are willing to accept my proposal?" Ma Yu was a little proud, probably in his opinion, it is easy for a foreign businessman like me to compromise. Some channels have learned that I have a good relationship with the government now, so I didn't force it. Then he smiled and said: "Well, the biggest plate I control now is logistics and transportation. You see, Yunnan is a mountainous place, and logistics and transportation can be a very important link. No matter what you invest here Business depends on transportation. Am I right? I think we will have many opportunities for cooperation in this regard... You see, I am a person who is willing to make friends. The misunderstanding between my nephew and you was just It's a write-off, isn't it?"
Hmph, I smiled and looked at him directly: "If you finish speaking, you can go." After a pause, I said again: "By the way, please help me close the door outside."
As soon as these words were said, Ma Yu's face immediately changed! He seemed to be trying so hard not to stand up, but just sat on the sofa and forced himself to change his sitting posture. This move made me look up to him even more.
This person seems to know how to restrain and regulate his emotions, which is far better than those gangster bosses.
"During the Middle Ages in Europe, the army under the Pope would usually bring a sentence when negotiating with the enemy." Ma Yu had already torn off the camouflage on his face at this time, and made an undisguised threat: "I Holding a sword in one hand and flowers in the other. It depends on your choice!"
I couldn't help applauding, and said with a smile, "Good! Unexpectedly, although Mr. Ma Yu is humble and reckless, he has a deep heart, and he also dabbles in foreign classical literature."
"In this case, there is nothing to talk about." Ma Yu stood up, still proudly said: "I think, in the near future, you will come to me again, but at that time, I am afraid that the conditions I offer will be It's different from now."
After finishing speaking, he was about to get up to say goodbye when Bao Yazhou suddenly interjected, "...wait a minute."
"What's the matter? Changed your mind?" Ma Yu smiled triumphantly.
I glanced at Baoya Zhou, and he met my eyes, then pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Ma Yu, I actually got to know you a little bit after we had a conflict with your nephew at night. You see , you are very famous in the local area... and because we have a good relationship with the authorities, the police are also willing to provide some information."
Bao Yazhou's tone is very relaxed: "In fact, here in Yunnan, the border provinces are mixed with dragons and snakes. We all know about these situations... Most of the underworld organizations here have a certain scale, and they have the support of some foreign forces. For example, if If you are in a hurry, you can call a group of people from abroad at any time to make a big deal here. And when the police here are investigating, they will withdraw people abroad at worst, and the king of heaven and I will not be able to catch them! Even if they don’t Foreign forces, there are so many mountainous areas here, if you just find a few ruthless boys from the mountains to be killers, kill one or two people, and then run back to a small village in the mountains to hide, you will probably not be able to catch them. The person in charge will not leave any clues. Therefore, when many local gangster organizations tear their face apart, they often take some extreme measures... Is the situation I said correct?"
Ma Yu smiled, and at this moment there was a sharp flash in his eyes, and he said slowly: "It seems that Lawyer Zhou knows a lot."
"Well, this... probably means you have the capital to be confident... This kind of method is indeed very sharp, and it can also intimidate people. Ma Yu, you must have succeeded many times with this kind of method." Bao Yazhou smiled, As he tapped his temple, then as if he suddenly remembered, he said: "Oh, by the way, I don't know what you call this extreme method here, but we usually give this kind of action a name... called … 'Airborne'."
Airborne
I can't help laughing too.
Of all the gangsters in the world, who can play a game like paratroopers better than our big circle? joke! The paratrooper system is the housekeeping skill of the big circle! Playing paratroopers with the big circle? It's like selling water by the Yellow River, and Lu Ban uses a big ax in front of the gate!
"Actually, I admire you very much." Bao Yazhou smiled more happily: "I think, my boss, this Mr. Chen must also appreciate you. To be honest, you are the one we saw when we came to Kunming, Yunnan this time. Among the gangsters who have ever lived, you are the most magnanimous and heroic person. You are very smart, have brains, and have means. To some extent, you are a very outstanding person." Bao Yazhou finally sighed: " However, I still have a suggestion for you..."
He had already stood up and made a gesture to see off the guests: "Some people, you can mess with... But some people, you can't afford to mess with them. Do you understand?"
Ma Yu's face changed slightly... He stared at us carefully for a few times, and finally saw what worried him from our eyes.
We were very calm, even said... very calm, from the beginning to the end, there was no tension at all.
Moreover, this kind of composure is not faked. Ma Yu has seen many people. Some people can remain calm in the face of his threats, but most of them are pretending to be calm...but we are not.
Judging by our reactions... it seems that we... no, it doesn't seem that. But yes! We didn't take his threats seriously at all.
Ma Yu is not a fool, he should understand that if the other party can have such an attitude, then unless the other party is an idiot, otherwise, then there must be something to rely on.
His face changed several times in an instant, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally gritted his teeth and stood up silently, walking to the door.
Bao Yazhou sent him out, but in the end, Ma Yu couldn't help it anymore. After thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice: "Okay, let me ask one more question, what is your party..."
He has softened a bit.
Bao Yazhou whispered something in his ear, Ma Yu's body shook, and then there was a bit of fear in his eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but Baoya Zhou had already stopped him, and said lightly: "Don't worry, we have no intention of dealing with you, and what we came here to do has nothing to do with you... But I think you are a smart person , I just don’t want to watch you court death. Maybe we still need you in the future. Go back honestly... But you’d better remember that we haven’t met today.”
