"Why?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise. "He is just a gangster, but he can still make a big business boss angry?"
It seems that Zhao Laosi's methods are far more powerful than he thought. On the one hand, they have just unified the underground world of Pearl, but on the other hand, they have already reached into the shopping mall.
"You don't know something about this." Lu Dashan explained with a relaxed look. "It's true that Zhao Laosi is a bandit leader. But since he has surrendered to the government, then the government must not treat him too badly, right?"
"Azheng, you may not understand much if you don't do business. But whether it's in China or abroad, where do we do business, especially if we make the business big, we can't be disconnected from the government and the country? If we do real estate, you need the government to grant land, right? Do you want to do electricity? Business, you also need approval from the government, right? Even if you open an Internet cafe, you must have a good relationship with the Network Management Bureau, right? Therefore, the bigger the business, the greater the reliance on the government. In fact, there are It is what the general public calls collusion between government and business. Of course, what we are discussing now is not this inevitable social problem, but the reason why Zhao Laosi is angry with those businessmen in Mingzhu."
"Because the Mingzhu government allocated resources to Zhao Laosi who surrendered?" Xiao Zheng asked clearly.
"Smart." Lu Dashan smiled. "What the government needs is stability. The police are a violent institution permitted by law. They work with the government agencies. So there is no need for too much interest. But desperadoes like Zhao Laosi need to use strategies or To put it bluntly, we use policies to recruit people.”
The recruitment Lu Dashan said naturally requires certain conditions. And Zhao Laosi is determined to do business, so the conditions offered must be market resources. For any group or organization, resources are bound to be limited. Give him more, and you will get less. Zhao Laosi became a celebrity in the eyes of the government because of his surrender. Those senior businessmen will naturally give up part of their resources for him to enjoy.
Anyone else would certainly not be happy if the meat in his mouth was to be given to others. Especially if this person is an outsider with no culture and no friendship, it will be even more uncomfortable.
Xiao Zheng understood Lu Dashan's eloquent talk and couldn't help but smile and asked sinisterly: "What about you? So many people are angry with him. As Pearl, you are the most powerful old crocodile and occupy the largest resources. , weren’t you angry with him?”
"Don't be ridiculous." Lu Dashan waved his hand and said with a smile. "Can a dirty old gangster like him be compared to your Uncle Lu? Besides, your Uncle Lu's business has spread all over the world. Mingzhu's cake is big or small, even if you throw it all away, you Uncle Lu won't even frown. Not to mention that what your Uncle Lu does, the money he earns, is what he is qualified to do and has the ability to earn? To put it bluntly, Uncle Lu, even if I give him something, he won't Don’t dare to accept the move.”
"He started blowing again." Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Of course, Xiao Zheng still believed what Lu Dashan said in his heart. No matter how awesome Zhao Laosi is, he is still an old gangster who cannot stand up to the public eye. Lu Dashan, on the other hand, is a legendary figure who can be brothers with the top management of Mingzhu. Even if Zhao Laosi is given the green light by the government now, it is definitely impossible to compare with Lu Dashan.
The legend of the Pearl that can keep pace with Lin Chaotian, Zhao Laosi will never be able to catch up with him throughout his life.
Lu Dashan poured two more cups of tea, clinked them with Xiao Zheng, and drank them all in one gulp. Then he wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, if I don't want to brag to you, let me tell you that at the charity party hosted by Zhao Laosi three days later, you, Uncle Lu, and I will be the guests of honor. If you go, he will have to wait for you. If you don't go, he You have to visit alone. What is this called? This is called worshiping at the top of the mountain." Lu Dashan said in high spirits. "In Mingzhu, you, Uncle Lu, and I are the highest mountain."
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips slightly and put down the teacup to enjoy the taste: "Can I join in the fun?"
"I haven't decided whether to go or not." Lu Dashan said carelessly. "That day happens to be the weekend. Your Aunt Qin wants to go to an opera. If I don't have anything to do with life and death, I have to accompany her."
"Wife control is strict." Xiao Zheng said contemptuously. "Do you think Lin Huayin dares to restrict my freedom?"
"That's because people don't care what you do." Lu Dashan countered. "Isn't it like me and your Aunt Qin and I have a deep love for each other?"
"Nauseous." Xiao Zheng lit a cigarette and asked seriously. "You really don't plan to go?"
"It depends on the situation." Lu Dashan smiled. "The old guys above asked me to go over and support them. They said it was all for stability and prosperity. But I don't like that old guy. I want to give him a showdown."
"Go." Xiao Zheng encouraged. "I'll go along and join in the fun."
"That's not right." Lu Dashan said with confusion. "As far as I know, you and he have a serious relationship. How come you are speaking for him in turn?"
"If I let you pass and embarrass him in public, would you dare?" Xiao Zheng said meaningfully.
"It doesn't matter whether you dare or not, it just depends on whether you want to or not." Lu Dashan said. "I don't have any conflicts of interest with him, let alone any old or new grudges. Although I don't really like the way this old boy behaves, for the sake of the overall situation, it's not convenient for him to step down in public."
Xiao Zheng smiled mysteriously and said, "I personally suggest you go over and have fun."
"What are your plans?" Lu Dashan asked in confusion. "Why do you want me to go there so much?"
"Because this is most likely your last chance to see him." Xiao Zheng said every word.
"Nonsense. I want to see him, but he hasn't come running over yet—" Lu Dashan suddenly changed his subject and said. "No way? You want to kill him?"
Xiao Zheng blinked his eyes, with a cruel sneer on his lips: "If he dies at this age, he will be considered dead."
"Don't mess around." Lu Dashan regained his serious look and said with a slight frown. "He is now a key training target of the government. If you kill him at this moment, won't you cause big trouble?"
"What's the trouble?" Xiao Zheng asked with a relaxed look.
"First of all. Zhao Laosi is the government's target for recruitment. He is also the spokesperson they have spent a lot of time cultivating. On the one hand, he will be given some sweeteners, and on the other hand, he will coordinate all forces to achieve a stable situation. This This move has been played by the people above for several years. It took a lot of effort to wait until today. If you kill this spokesperson, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face of the government in public? By then, you will be the target of public criticism, both black and white. I won’t let you go.” Lu Dashan persuaded. "Ah Zheng. Life is so wonderful and the world is so wonderful. Are you really so world-weary that you don't want to live anymore?"
