Overseas Chinese organizations all attach great importance to etiquette, especially when it comes to weddings and funerals, they pay attention to details and the whole process.
Gu Tongshan is an elder in the General Association of Coders. He has previously served as the leader of the Zhannan Code Gang and also holds a position in a government unit in Longcheng. Therefore, his prestige and connections in this circle are naturally extremely high.
Death is the greatest thing, so the people from the General Association of Coders discussed it and immediately started preparing a very grand funeral for Gu Tongshan.
The Code Gang was busy that night, not to mention the negotiations with the police station.
It is said that the next morning, after Gu Tongshan's mourning hall was set up at the General Association of Coders, Xu Hu had already put on mourning clothes that only a son could wear, and began to receive guests who came to pay their respects in the mourning hall.
Wei Xiangzuo was actually busy all night last night, so this morning he told the elders of the Code Gang, "I'm sleepy, I'm going back to sleep."
Just like that, Wei Xiangzuo did not show up during the day, but found a place and fell into a deep sleep, as if he had no emotional fluctuations about his master's death.
Xu Hu was different. He was really moved. When he received guests during the day, he always had tears in his eyes, his eyes were red, and his voice was trembling.
After a busy morning, at noon, the General Association of Coders prepared a meal and the mourners went to the banquet, so there were fewer people in the hospital.
Xu Hu sat beside the coffin in the mourning hall, burning paper money while saying to a middle-aged man in a suit, "Old Wu was killed together with the master. You Longkou are now leaderless."
"Yes, there was a commotion last night. If I hadn't suppressed it, the people from Longkou might have raided the homes of Su Bai and Kong Sanjia last night." The middle-aged man replied in a low voice.
"Now is not the right time to cause trouble." Xu Hu burned paper money and said calmly, "We need to be more alert."
The middle-aged man looked down at him, then slowly bent down and squatted: "How do you do that?"
"Nick has also been captured, and he is unlikely to escape death." Xu Hu whispered back, "These people were lost in Dragon City, and Warhammer will probably send more people."
The middle-aged man paused for a while, then picked up the apple in front of Gu Tongshan's memorial tablet and said, "Yes, the old man from the General Association was discussing this morning what to do with the plate of Zhannan now that Mr. Gu is gone."
Xu Hu raised his head and looked at the other party with bright eyes: "Warhammer products are expensive, limited in quantity, and must be exclusive. If we continue to do it according to the previous model, the brothers below... will not make much money."
The middle-aged man took a big bite of the apple, juice dripping from the corner of his mouth: "Old Xu, just say whatever you want to say."
"I don't want to sell Warhammer products anymore." Xu Hu said bluntly: "Change to a new channel!"
"The old men may not agree to this. Although Warhammer's products are expensive and limited in quantity, they have been cooperating with our Code Gang for so long, so the prices are transparent to the upper management." The middle-aged man turned his head and looked around, lowering his voice and said, "You are the one who negotiates the price when you open a new channel. For the old men... this is uncontrollable. Who knows how much money you negotiated for? They will be suspicious."
Xu Hu looked up at him: "You don't dare to do it."
"It's not even clear whether I can take over the leadership of the Longkou Gang now. How can I make the decision?!" The middle-aged man pouted and replied, "Last night, Old Wu died. Several leaders of Longkou were in court and started quarreling. They were just about to shoot each other. Brother, the country is not stable yet, how can I talk about policy?"
Xu Hu burned the paper and whispered back, "If you work with me, I will ensure that you get the position of the assistant leader of Longkou District and make you the leader."
"Can you do it?" the other party asked.
"I will do my best to help you. If it works out, I will take you with me when I negotiate the price with the new channel. From now on, I will not charge you a penny for the goods from your Longkou District. We will buy at the same price." Xu Hu narrowed his eyes and looked at him and said, "You know me. In business, I always keep my word."
"Can you tell me who supports you in the General Association?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Let me put it this way. If the purchase of goods requires a vote from the elders, I now have at least 30% of the votes in support, not counting the support from the customs. If someone from each hall also speaks up for me, then this matter can be accomplished." Xu Hu replied.
The middle-aged man took two bites of the apple, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll do it with you!"
"Okay, I'll take you to meet the supplier of the new channel later." Xu Hu nodded.
"That's it. I'm going to eat." The middle-aged man threw the half-eaten apple into the trash can and turned away.
Inside the coffin, the crushed Gu Tongshan was still lying quietly. After meeting the middle-aged man, Xu Hu met a customs officer.
"Can you hold the plate?" The officer stood beside the mourning tent with his hands behind his back.
"I need your support! Whether the goods can be shipped by Mabang depends on the attitude of our customs." Xu Hu replied with a smile: "If you agree, then we can do it; if you don't agree, then we can't do it. The old men understand this."
"How do we divide the interest?"
"On top of the original price, I'll give them another 10%." Xu Hu replied softly, "The goods from the new channel are already cheap. If we can continue to do long-term business, we can still lower the price. In short, the profit margin will not be small."
"Okay, that's settled."
"Before the people from Warhammer come, we have to make our attitude clear."
"You arrange it." The officer said and turned away.
Xu Hu stayed in the courtyard for a day to keep vigil and met at least a dozen people. His master had died, and he was very busy.
Until evening.
Wei Xiangzuo came over with sleepy eyes, bent over and sat under the mourning shed, and asked directly: "When will you avenge the master?"
"My Lord, we must first stabilize the country before we can resist foreign aggression! The situation in Zhanan is very turbulent now!" Xu Hu replied.
Wei Xiangzuo was silent for three full seconds, then stood up and said, "Okay, then you continue to surge here, and I'll go find the murderer."
After saying this, Wei Xiangzuo walked away expressionlessly.
Xu Hu looked at him, waved his hand and shouted: "Tip!"
"What's the matter, help me?"
"The interest that was not settled last month will be held back and will not be settled this month." Xu Hu looked at Wei Xiangzuo's back and continued in a low voice: "Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Xiaofei nodded.
"Also, release those people from the Security Bureau immediately. I will apologize to the higher-ups later."
"knew!"
…
In the evening, Captain Niu and others were released. He took the phone and called Yu Mingyuan's cell phone immediately, but the latter directly replied with a text message, asking him to contact Su Tianyu.
While Su Tianyu was busy dealing with the follow-up incident, he received a call from Captain Niu: "Hello?"
"You guys are such a jerk! Why didn't you tell us about your follow-up plans? Do you know how passive I am?! There are dozens of people who surrounded us and beat us up. Even my work ID card didn't work." Captain Niu cursed: "You are treating us like guinea pigs, right? Huh?! Who are we working for? You are so rude!"
"You misunderstood. This is a long story..."
"What the hell! Hurry up and get someone to pick me up. I don't know where those people dropped us off. We don't have a car..."
"Where are you then?"
"Do I need to call you if I want to know where I am?!"
“Are there any landmarks there?”
"No, there's a big hole on the beach..." Captain Niu replied unhappily.
