With the "resurrection" of the cultural and entertainment market, more and more peers have returned to the tomb robbery business. The originally sluggish market has become popular again, and with it, competition has also begun to become fierce.
As the first group of tomb robbers who started to return to their old business, Li Tianming did not occupy much time and place.
Because most of the tomb robbers in the Mangshan area are family businesses, it is rare to find outsiders to "support the pot."
During the depression, these people hibernated, and after everything recovered, they all "lived." As soon as my uncle and nephew greeted him, a team was pulled up.
For them, the craftsmanship passed down through generations is deeply ingrained in their blood. Even if you give up for a while, the skills will not be unfamiliar. Once you hold the hoe in your hand again, the feeling of digging the ground will come naturally.
In contrast, these "rabbit crowds" under Li Tianming are technically disadvantaged. Although they are numerous and powerful, the tomb robbers are not more powerful than strength, but more experience.
Although more and more peers have returned to the tomb robbery business, the competition has become increasingly fierce. But Li Tianming doesn't have any sense of crisis. In his opinion, this cake can be made very big.
Li Tianming is a person with a big picture. He sees opportunities in the crisis. The more active the market, the more buyers, and the greater his chances of getting rid of the leader.
It wasn't until one day something happened that Li Tianming realized how terrible "competition" was. His idea of "peaceful development" was only wishful thinking. This is a world where the weak and the strong.
On this day, Uncle Li was planning to contact a buyer in Luoyang in the textile factory. During this time, he had contact with a few hawkers and made a few small businesses, which was very rewarding. He is preparing to make this "side business" bigger. .
At this time, a young man rushed in, "Something went wrong."
Seeing Xiaowu’s panicked expression, Li Tianming also realized that it was not good. Brother Dawu and Xiaowu were newly recruited "disciples". Although the two men were of average stature, they had fierce personalities. And all the more, Li Tianming had never seen him so nervous before.
"Sit down, take a sip of water, and speak well."
Li Tianming stabilized Xiao Wu's emotions, seeing that his legs were muddy, his face was gray and his face was flushed and panting. He should have ran back straight from the ravine. Is there something wrong with the antique planing this time
Two days ago, Li Tianming arranged for Yinzi to take Xiaowu and several other apprentices to Luohe to plan a tomb of the Tang Dynasty. This is the place where Li Tianming first contacted the tomb with his own hands. "The place" is still his "Enlightenment Old Tomb", which is of special significance to Li Tianming.
Li Tianming is bound to win this antique planing. He wanted to borrow this batch of goods to do a big business with a senior antique broker in Luoyang.
Now that you decide to get rid of the leader and go it alone, you have to establish your own network of relationships. In the business of tomb robbers, buyers seldom have direct contact with sellers, and they usually trade through brokers or dealers.
The dragon head is actually his broker, but although the road is rough, the dragon head is too dark and pitted. Being so exploited by him is always unacceptable. Although the leader has the kindness of saving his life and knowing the situation, he has done so much work for him and made so much money, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness.
Li Tianming's idea is to bypass the leader and find another broker alone. With his ability, the income can be hundreds or thousands of times easier.
In fact, looking for brokers is also very particular. Most people have no way and no connections, so they can only do small business, commonly known as traffickers. Their business scale has an upper limit, they can't handle big jobs, and others don't dare to give you big goods.
The big brokers usually have their own channels, know more people, have a wide network of contacts, and sell goods easily. The key is to be credible and not afraid of being cheated.
Li Tianming's wishful thinking is to do a business with this big broker first, show his strength and sincerity with some good goods, and after establishing a cooperative relationship, he can build plank roads in secret, and no longer need to be controlled by the leader.
Li Tianming valued this cooperation very much, so he chose this tomb which is of special significance to him.
Two days ago, he specially arranged for Deli's subordinates to take the lead, and took a few elite soldiers out. According to the estimation of time, it should be able to ship in these two days.
But just came back so dumbfounded, could it be that something unexpected happened
Xiao Wu took a sip of water and gasped for a while, and then he stammered and told Li Tianming what had happened.
There was no problem with the tomb robbery, and it went smoothly. But when they shipped, they met their counterparts!
It stands to reason that this kind of thing has happened before. With the style of the gold and silver brothers and their strength, basically giving each other a little bit of color to see them will retreat. But this time is extraordinary.
As soon as they shipped, a group of people emerged from the dark, and these people had guns—submachine guns.
Li Tianming was shocked when he heard this, submachine gun? This special lady, did the tomb robber encounter a regular army
"Did you see who it is? Are you sure it's the real guy?" Li Tianming asked uneasy.
"I can see clearly-people didn't see clearly, but the gun was clearly seen. Several people were holding guns. Someone put his gun against Brother Yinzi's head. Brother Yinzi was holding his head... and he squatted down... I think Brother Silver should not be easily frightened if he is so courageous, right?"
Li Tianming was lost in thought. What kind of way are these people? He has seen the tomb robber encounter black and black things, but he grabbed it with a submachine gun? Never heard of it.
"Uncle, I was watching them for a long time to see that they took our goods away. Uncle, it's not that I was scared, but I rushed over by myself and I didn't use it. Uncle... You won't blame me for not being loyal, right? Uncle, I’m not a person who escapes for fear of death... I, I am coming back to move rescuers."
Seeing Uncle Li's face uncertain, Xiao Wu also became scared.
Li Tianming shook his head, and said to Xiaowu with a pleasant face: "Don't blame you, you didn't do this thing."
After thinking for a while, he said, "Are they still there when you left?"
Xiao Wudao: "Yes, here, there are a lot of goods in that tomb, and it won't be finished for a while."
Li Tianming was in trouble. The most worrying thing happened. In the tomb robbery industry, the people who really died in the tomb organs were very few, and most of them died in the hands of their colleagues. There are guys in the family, so many people don’t matter.
At this time, there was a noise outside, and they returned the gold that they had gone out to exchange.
Li Tianming rolled his eyes, called all these people in, and told them about the situation.
Sure enough, Kaneko heard that his brother was trapped, and jumped into a thunder on the spot, and he was going to rush out desperately when he started to fuck him. Dawu and Xiaowu's gang of brothers are also very angry.
Li Tianming saw that everyone was not afraid of things and was very satisfied. He immediately ordered everyone to bring the guys for reinforcements-the best way to keep the goods, if it doesn't work, bring the people back first.
This hypocrisy is in line with the temper of his men. These guys all said that it was Uncle Li's righteousness, and at this time they only cared about their brothers.
Li Tianming nodded, "Go ahead, I... I am waiting for your good news at home."
Li Tianming's wishful thinking is that even if you have a gun, no matter how arrogant you are, you won't kill all of my dozen or so lives, right
Even if you lose a few lives, you can get back some goods. Life is worthless, but goods are worth.
The worst case is that everyone is fine, and the goods are all accounted for.
This matter can't just be so unclear. If you let the fellows on the road know that Li Tianming has been harassed by others, then how will he get rid of it in the future
When Kaneko heard that his brother had been blocked by someone, he became anxious on the spot. In the Mangshan area, the Jinyin brothers have always walked sideways. Most people will give face when they meet, even if they don't show up, they can just use their name, but this time they are blocked by others? Must find the place back.
This time he went out, Uncle Li gave him all the elite soldiers on his hand.
Before leaving, he quietly explained to him that he should not lose the prestige of the brothers, and must make money back.
Among the group of people that Jin Jin brought out, in addition to brothers and sisters, there were several people who were close relatives with the group of people who had been trapped in Yinzi. They had a strong blood relationship. Hearing that their loved ones were in trouble, they immediately geared up and their eyes were red.
As soon as Scar Jin and the others left, Uncle Li greeted the remaining people to transfer their residences and supplies-to prepare for the worst.
In the beginning, Li Tianming and all his subordinates were based in the old textile factory. After he had plenty of money, Li Tianming set up a few more bases outside the textile factory, either renting or buying, all of which were relatively remote and suitable for work.
One is to diversify investment, the other is to prevent people from making troubles, and the third is to hide from disasters. He has thoroughly studied the principles of Guitu Sanku.
He knows the truth about not putting all your eggs in one basket. In order to ensure safety, Uncle Li does not have a fixed residence now. He often changes residence every ten and a half days. Sometimes he stays in a hotel, sometimes he rents a residential house, and sometimes he lives in a hotel. Several passers-by are often scattered to prevent Be served in a pot.
In terms of being cautious, Uncle Li thinks that he has achieved the ultimate, even without the protection of the leader, he can deal with various emergencies.
Official problems are easy to deal with, but competition among peers is really troublesome. Recently, there have been several battles between gangs in Mangshan. They were all disputes between the family and the family, which eventually developed into a rush of hundreds of people.
After several deaths occurred, everyone felt that it would be no good for anyone to fight like this. Therefore, several more powerful families gathered together for a meeting and verbally reached a "tomb robbery pact".
The whole spirit of the convention is actually "first come, then come". Anyone who looks at the tomb will make a specific mark. If other families see other people's marks, they won't be able to do it again.
The reason for such a convention is that some large tombs can not be stolen in a short while. It may take more than ten days or even months to prepare from stepping on a hole to dig a hole into the tomb.
In places like some plains, people come and go. In order to cover up the traces of large-scale tomb robberies, crops and green gauze tents will be planted around the tombs, and then they will not be noticed when the crops are up.
In some places, you even build a house directly on the ancient tomb. After the house is built, it will be convenient for you to do anything in it.
Sometimes the tomb robbing has to stop temporarily when there is an emergency, and they will also leave a mark to tell others that this place is in charge, so don't move.
Of course, this mark may not work well, because the industry of tomb robbers is also the big fish eating small fish and small fish eating dried shrimps. The mark made by the big family, the little family dare not move. But the marks made by the small family might be robbed by the big family, so the small family can't beat it, and they can't win the fight, so they can only swallow their anger.
Li Tianming did not participate in this convention. Like Li Zhenbei back then, he did not even bother to sit on an equal footing with several big families. He is now strong and strong, and he is no longer the same as the downfall of the year. Relying on the large number of people and the crowd will not reason with others.
In addition, his father and brother backed the pot for the tomb robbers in Mangshan back then, and he took a sigh of relief in his heart—just take what I like, don't beep with me, you owe me.
So he was the only one who bullied others, no one dared to fight back.
But I didn't expect it to be flat this time, and I still suffered a big loss. Li Tianming judged that this batch of black people must have been eyeing themselves for a long time, and they have come prepared.
If he guessed right, the opponent must be waiting for his move, and he must solve the game.
The old spicy Li Tianming had actually thought about how to get through this tragedy in his heart.
He hoped that those people could continue to hold the silver and them, and never let them back... If that was the case, then he would no longer be able to hold his head up in Mangshan in the future. Those big families would take turns squatting on his head and shit.
So he hopes that Kaneko can make things big. The bigger the noise, the better, and it's better to kill a few people.
Li Tianming knows that if you want to mix well in a business, you must be more ruthless than anyone else.
The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal ones are afraid of stunned, and the stunned ones are afraid of death!
I have many people, and I don’t want their lives anymore, so what about you
