Charge protection fees
Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly.
In what age is this, are there still people doing this? The local police station doesn’t care
When Xiao Zheng was still working in the Taoist community, this business was no longer popular. If you really need to charge it, it will be half protection fee and half security fee. Also limited to entertainment venues. It is a forced buying and selling relationship, not a free-for-all relationship.
Collecting money on the street went out of fashion ten years ago. How much more at the feet of the Emperor
Seeing that Xiao Zheng was a little curious, Li Feng continued: "They are just a bunch of lowlifes. If they were really capable, they wouldn't do this."
Under Li Feng's introduction, Xiao Zheng learned that these people who collected protection fees were basically gangsters. If you don't really have the ability, you will bully some ordinary citizens who dare not resist. But speaking of it, these little gangsters are not completely without background. Instead, it was affiliated to the nephew of the local police station director.
The director's nephew is protected by his uncle, who is considered a tyrant in the local area. As your business grows, you will naturally need some followers. One is to save face, and the other is to show off. When we can use them, we will naturally have no worries about eating and drinking. But after all, this is a society governed by the rule of law. How can we lead a bunch of gangsters to do random things every day? So life for these stepmother-in-laws is not easy either. Without work, they can only survive by collecting protection fees. Not even a decent security guard can be found. People don't want to use this kind of gangster with a criminal record.
But one good thing is that because these gangsters were affiliated with the director's nephew, the local police turned a blind eye and did not kill them all. To prevent the director's nephew from snitching and asking for trouble.
As a result, the social security in the neighborhood is a bit serious.
Of course, it's just a protection fee. Scare the common people. If we really want them to do something big, firstly, they don't have the ability, and secondly, the director won't agree.
Public security is so bad that he, the director, must also be held responsible. No one will joke about their political future. Can't do it.
"It's true that the official family is a family." Xiao Zheng drank half a glass of beer and said meaningfully.
Brother Azheng has never regarded himself as a saint, and he is not the contemporary Bao Qingtian who can't rub any sand in his eyes. But now that he has encountered this kind of thing, he will not sit idly by and ignore it. It's OK to say that you are cheating on others, but Xiao Zheng looks down on this kind of behavior of bullying good and fearing evil.
"You know them so well. You should know them, right?" Xiao Zheng put down his glass and said.
When Li Feng heard this, cold sweat broke out on his back.
Of course he knew these guys. In fact, before entering Xinao, he occasionally made a cameo appearance to collect protection money. It's not professional, but because of his burly stature, it can also act as a deterrent. It’s also good to eat and drink.
Hearing what Xiao Zheng said at this moment, Li Feng was quite embarrassed. But he had no choice but to pat his chest and promise that he would be able to handle this matter. After all, we all know each other. This face can still be sold to him.
Li Feng crossed the road to Guotong. Xiao Zheng had no interest in coming forward. I just eat skewers and occasionally send a text message to flirt with the cold-hearted girl.
"Go home and rest if you have nothing to do. I'm very busy."
The text message was followed by a kitchen knife. He looks ferocious, but has a hint of cuteness.
Xiao Taohong felt a little disappointed when she saw Mr. Xiao texting with a smile on his face. But he quickly suppressed this little emotion rationally.
There are things you can do. There are things to think about. There are still some things that I can’t even think about. Thinking too much will harm others and yourself. Self-destruction.
To her, Mr. Xiao was unattainable and something she couldn't even think about. If you think too much, you will easily lose control. Once out of control, you may even lose your job. If you harm yourself, you will also harm your elder brother who has just started on the right path.
Occasionally, Xiao Taohong would feel scared when she thought of Mr. Lin's cold but wise eyes.
Ten minutes later, Li Fengmang walked back to the table with a resentful face. There were curses in his mouth.
"Not solved?" Xiao Zheng asked curiously.
"It's not just about collecting protection money." Li Feng felt his face was dull. He explained in a sarcastic manner. "There was a crew recording a music video here, but those bastards made trouble. They even had to pay 1 million in mental damages. Wasn't it just that my foot was stepped on? Why is it such a big fuss?"
"The leader is not an ordinary person, right?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"Yes. It's the nephew of the director I just mentioned. Damn it. We called him brother and brother at first, but now I'm begging him to show off my face and show off here."
Xiao Zheng smiled, stood up and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
As soon as Xiao Taohong saw it, she knew that Mr. Xiao was going to take action. He hurriedly paid the bill and followed him like a little follower.
Because it is a rare crew and there is a second-tier star who is relatively popular. Young and beautiful, with good temperament. In addition, the background of collecting protection fees is tough enough. Suddenly, many onlookers gathered.
Li Feng took advantage of his tallness and strength to help Xiao Zheng squeeze through the crowd and get closer to the core position.
As soon as he entered, Xiao Zheng saw seven or eight decent-looking young people negotiating fiercely with a middle-aged man dressed as a director. Occasionally, swear words came out of his mouth. Look at the young girl resting not far away—
Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows, isn't this Ruyu
"That guy is the leader." Li Feng pointed at a young man in his thirties opposite. He was tall, but his face showed disdain and arrogance.
It was obvious that he didn't take the other party's music video director seriously.
In fact, the entertainment industry may be out of reach in the hearts of the people. But in the hearts of officials and even businessmen, they don't have a high status. Especially in Sijiu City, where there are as many high-ranking officials as dogs.
Doesn’t it sound like the police station director has a bad sign? That would be really ignorant. In the past few years, the central government has focused on public security across the country, so the police stations, which originally had no administrative level, were raised half a level and became full-fledged deputy department-level units. And the police stations in capitals, municipalities, and provincial cities like Yanjing. The top leader of a police station is at the lowest level of deputy director. To regulate local affairs, it is the leaders at the deputy county magistrate level. In addition, Yanjing is the capital, and public security management must be the best in the country. This also leads to the fact that the status of the police station is higher and more important than that of the local area.
There is an old saying that goes well, if you don't go to the capital, you don't know the official rank. The highest level of a small police station in the capital can even reach the division level. It's not surprising that the director's nephew looks so arrogant.
"Oh shit!"
During the argument, the director's nephew suddenly kicked the director in the stomach. He yelled: "You've been talking for a long time, but you just don't want to lose money, right?! Believe it or not, I won't let you stay in Yanjing any longer?"
His tone was so loud that those who didn't know better thought he was the chairman.
When he made a move, the scene was in a state of uproar. The seven or eight gangsters rushed up and beat him up. How could those crew members stand up to this kind of battle? They immediately became confused and started crying.
