Chen Jianan wanted to grab Qiao Wen's shoulder and shake him awake.
I am a poor man with a clean face all year round, let alone 20,000 yuan, he can't even get 200 yuan out, but he is afraid that Grandma Qiao will be worried, so he has to force a smile on his face, and bite the bullet, "Yes, I’ll just ask my fourth brother for help.”
In Grandma Qiao's view, although Anan is not very old, she has been a child with ideas and will do things since she was a child. In the two years since she joined the Hexing Society, she has done a lot for the neighbors. Hearing what he said, he felt a little relieved, and sighed again: "You have to follow the right path, and don't get addicted to gambling."
Chen Jianan patted his chest and assured: "Of course."
Comfort grandma, and the two of them went upstairs.
Seeing that Qiao Wen was not in a hurry, Chen Jianan couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as he entered the door, he grabbed his shoulders, gritted his teeth and said, "Little Qiao, you can't joke about Uncle Ming. We have no money to pay you in two days. , Pauline still has to be taken away. Scar probably has to trouble us."
With his pair of iron claws, even if he didn't use much force, Qiao Wensheng, who was delicate and tender, was in pain: "Brother Nan, don't worry!"
"Can I not be in a hurry? This is 20,000 yuan. Where do we go to find it? Even if the neighbors are willing to help, it is estimated that they can make up a small change."
Qiao Wen brushed his hand away and said, "Brother Nan, have you forgotten Lin Zhaoming?"
Chen Jianan was taken aback for a moment, apparently unable to react: "Lin Zhaoming?"
"Didn't he give you a card and want to reward you? Twenty thousand yuan is an astronomical figure for us, but for a billionaire like him, it's just a matter of sprinkling water."
Chen Jianan frowned his handsome eyebrows, showing hesitation: "Is it possible? What if he finds out that I am from the Hexing Society, or is he the one who wants to kill him? Let alone the money, I'm afraid the bodyguards will call me directly. kill me?"
Qiao Wen smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, even if he finds out that Lord Bao sent someone to kill him, but his identity is there, he will never believe that Lord Bao would find a forty-nine boy to do this, and you are still doing it for him." He blocked the Vietnamese killer, which means you don’t even know that Master Bao is going to kill him.” He paused, and then said, “He definitely doesn’t look down on people like us, but I read in the newspaper that he is a A trustworthy person, since I gave you the card, as long as we open our mouths, we will definitely give you the money, that's a favor."
Chen Jianan nodded: "That makes sense, then I'll call and try." As if thinking of something, he raised his eyelids, cleared his throat, and tentatively said, "Since 20,000 yuan is just for him Water, can I ask more questions?"
Qiao Wen laughed: "No! A rich man like Lin Zhaoming is very defensive. If we are a lion, he will definitely feel that we are trying to blackmail him. Maybe he will steal the chicken and lose money. Twenty thousand yuan is just right. It's like an emergency amount. And when the time comes, we have to say that this money is not in vain, and can be rewarded for doing things for him.
Chen Jianan laughed and said, "What can us two poor boys do for billionaires?"
Qiao Wen said: "For example... Help him find out who wants his life?"
Chen Jianan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Lord Leopard also uses money to help others, and when someone finds Lord Leopard, they rely on a middleman in order not to reveal their identity. Don't say it's me, I'm afraid Master Leopard himself doesn't know Who asked him to kill Lin Zhaoming?"
Qiao Wen drew the corners of his mouth in an unpredictable manner, thinking that Zhao Shanhai might not know, but he, the book traveler, knew it very well. But he couldn't tell Chen Jianan clearly, he just said: "It's okay, I have a way to find out."
Chen Jianan looked him up and down suspiciously. He was sure that it was not his own illusion that he was in the teahouse that day. Xiao Qiao was indeed different from usual. It was clearly the same pale face he was familiar with, but it seemed to be different from before. If there are two people.
However, he has always been careless, and this kind of change that he can't explain is not bad, and even surprised him, so he didn't think much about it, just pinched Qiao Wen's face, curled the corner of his mouth, and joked: "Little Joe, have you been possessed by something? Bring Xiao Qiao back quickly."
Qiao Wen was inexplicably guilty, and then rolled his eyes, and opened his hand: "Brother Nan, stop making trouble, go find the card and make a call."
Chen Jianan chuckled, walked out briskly, suddenly remembered something, turned around and picked up the cane, frisky and limped.
Don't say it, it looks like it.
Most people in the Walled City do not have telephones, and if they need to use telephones on weekdays, they always use public telephones. This time, Chen Jianan had to pretend that his legs and feet were injured and it was inconvenient. More than half an hour had passed.
But obviously things went well. When he entered the door, there was a big smile on his handsome face: "Xiao Qiao, Lin Zhaoming asked me to meet tomorrow."
This was naturally expected by Qiao Wen, he nodded: "I'll go with you."
"Okay, you have more ideas than me now, I feel at ease with you."
Qiao Wen shook his head with a smile, seeing him slumped on the sofa, his legs were placed on his own in a very distorted manner, and he slapped him away speechlessly. After thinking for a while, he said: "Brother Nan, I Knowing that you joined the Hexing Society, you felt that you could have a talisman, and this identity is indeed useful. If it weren't for you, Baolian would probably be taken away today." He paused slightly, "But you really plan to follow the four Bro?"
Chen Jianan said nonchalantly: "I also want to find something serious to do, but you also know that I haven't studied for a few years, and I can't speak English. What can I do if I leave the walled city? Pull a rickshaw or go to the pier Work as a coolie? If a person like me wants to get rich, he can only be a chicken head or sell white/powder." After speaking, he turned his head and quickly grinned at Qiao Wen, "Don't worry, I won't do such unreasonable things Things. My grandfather fought against the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, my father fought against the Japanese, and our Chen family has the integrity to walk the right path, and I will not go astray."
Qiao Wen smiled: "I'm relieved when you say that. Don't worry, it's a good time for Hong Kong City to develop, there are many opportunities, and we will definitely go out."
Chen Jianan sat upright, wrapped his arms around his thin shoulders, and said calmly, "Actually, who doesn't want to open this place? You said that Mrs. Gu of the fish ball shop didn't want it? Or did Uncle Ming not want Baolian? Grandma didn't want it? Lian Haozai They always say they want to go out. The Walled City is not good, the police don’t come in, no one cares about murder and arson, and the boss of the triad society is the local emperor here. , Many of them have experienced wars and famines, and they have nowhere to go. No matter how hard they are, at least they can have a place to stay, enough to eat, wear warmth and have a roof over their bodies. I, a young and strong young man, left here to seek It's not difficult to eat, but in the current situation, if I stay here, I can take care of my neighbors."
As he said that, he leaned lazily on the sofa, and said casually: "Sometimes I actually think, if I become the boss of Hexing Society, maybe we people won't have to suffer like this."
Qiao Wen looked at him in shock, never expecting that he, a foolish little bastard, would still have this kind of cognition.
And wanting to be the boss is only for the better life of the neighbors in the Walled City. However, what he doesn't know is that people can't help themselves in the world, even if he really becomes the boss, eight out of ten he will become the second Zhao Shanhai.
He calculated that it would be two years before the establishment of the ICAC to clean up the city and the police stationed in the Walled City. It's just that the arrival of the police has not completely changed the current situation. The crime rate is still high, and the lives of ordinary people are still difficult. In short, until the demolition of this place in the early 1990s, it was a malignant tumor in Hong Kong.
Therefore, leaving is necessary to leave.
After Chen Jianan finished speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and asked curiously: "Little Qiao, you said that there is a way to find out who wants to kill Lin Zhaoming, what is the way?"
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old version of the book chasing artifact, the source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
Of course, Qiao Wen didn't really have a solution, but as a person who had read the original book, he knew who it was early on. Because Lin Zihui made a fortune later, he tried every means to find out who was behind the murder of his own father, and naturally confirmed that the killer was Chen Jianan, and avenged the murder of his father.
However, it is useless to just know who it is, and evidence must be found to prove it to Lin Zhaoming.
He thought for a moment, then said: "Do you still remember the young man wearing glasses in the Furong Tea House? His name is Lin Zhaoming's father, and he should be his illegitimate son raised outside. Since the information provided to the killer is the Furong Tea House, it means that the person who wants to kill Lin Zhaoming , know his whereabouts and background like the back of the hand. We can start from the Furong Teahouse."
Chen Jianan still had a little impression of Lin Zihui who was so stupid, but what Qiao Wen said made him confused. He touched his head, frowned and said, "Is it really possible?"
"Brother Nan, believe in me and yourself."
Chen Jianan raised his eyebrows and smiled: "That's right, who is my pretty boy Nan? I can't even do this, so how can I mess around? To be honest, I was going to kill someone, and I saved someone by accident. Money, it’s not justified, if you can do something for others, you can get the money with peace of mind.”
Qiao Wen looked at him calmly, but smiled.
After only a few days in this world, leaving aside the influence of his original body, he found that Chen Jianan surprised him a little.
The big villain who would do all kinds of evil in the future turned out to be a good young man with a sense of justice at this time.
Even if it wasn't for Xiao Qiaowen, just because of this person, he would never let him follow the old path in the book.
He didn't tell Chen Jianan that in fact, he came back to Lin Zhaoming to raise money to save Uncle Ming and Baolian, and also to look for opportunities.
This world is set according to the real world, except for the characters who do not exist in reality, all backgrounds are the same as reality. The 1970s was a period of rapid development in Hong Kong City, especially in the past two years, both the stock market and real estate had a big market. Especially the stock market, this year to the first half of next year will enter a big bull market, and the Hang Seng Index will rise from more than 700 to nearly 2,000.
In the original book, Lin Zihui took the 20,000 yuan that the Lin family gave him like a beggar and entered the stock market. After half a year, he made nearly a million dollars. Then, before the stock market crashed in the second half of the year, he withdrew from the stock market and invested in real estate, which made him another profit. After making a lot of money, in the next few years, the protagonist's halo has been greatly improved, and he has become a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong.
Lin Zihui's template is here, and of course he also uses it. It's just that he and Chen Jianan's starting point is much lower than that of Lin Zihui. Let alone 20,000 yuan, even 2,000 yuan can't be paid out. It is definitely impossible to invest in the stock market immediately, so he has to get the first pot of gold as soon as possible. Make a profit from the stock market before the stock market crashes.
And Lin Zhaoming, a billionaire, is obviously a good opportunity for him to earn his first pot of gold.
