Fu Man Lou Restaurant, these words sound full of Chinese cultural heritage, and in fact it is also one of the businesses under the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce. It has a total of four floors, and the decoration inside and outside the house is mainly red and yellow, making it look like a royal kitchen.
Fu Man Lou's business model is to cater to the general public. The dishes are not expensive and the customers are mainly from the middle and lower classes. Therefore, the flow of people is quite mixed. Fights and brawls after drinking are common. In addition, it is backed by the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, when conflicts arise, the well-known underworld figures in Zhannan District like to find people from Changqing Company or the Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce to mediate and come here to negotiate. In the jargon, it is called "Ma Pan Zhang Shuo Shu".
Therefore, in such a place, coupled with the recent relationship between the Su, Liu, Bai, Kong and Changqing Company, it was obvious that this night was going to spark some sparks.
…
In the largest Sihai box on the fourth floor of Fumanlou, Li Hongze, Lu Feng, and six or seven key members of Changqing Company were all sitting on the sofa area on the south side.
After Su Tianyu, Su Tianbei, Kong Zhenghui and others came in, the five family members they brought with them all sat at the dining table and waited, looking very sensible. Then Su Tianyu and other main negotiators came to the sofa area on the north side of the house and sat down.
The Sihai box is about 160 to 170 square meters in size, which is a lot of space. Li Hongze and others sit facing north with their backs to the south, taking advantage of the host's status and looking a bit imposing.
After both parties sat down, the elder Liu Laoer said to Li Hongze in a very reserved manner: "Boss Li, if we were not forced to this point, we would never take the lead in causing trouble. The previous bumps and bruises were all helpless. Please forgive us."
Liu Laoer has a typical character of an ordinary middle-aged man. As he gets older, his passion has long been exhausted by the years. His urine is forked and yellow. He has neither the ambition to forge ahead nor the courage to fight anyone to the death. Maintaining the status quo is the best outcome for him.
Li Hongze listened to Liu Laoer's words, waved his hand relaxedly, and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about polite words. Now that everyone is here, let's talk about business."
"Yes." Liu Laoer nodded politely.
"Since Director Wang has said hello, we have to watch his eyes and stop when it's enough." Li Hongze crossed his legs and said calmly, "We have loosened our promise to release the people, and the previous conflicts have been resolved with the brothers who were arrested in Lufeng. From now on, when the dirty gangs in Zhannan District start working, we will keep out of each other's way and maintain prosperity together!"
When Liu Laoer heard this, he felt relieved and immediately wanted to nod in response to Li Hongze's words.
"... Mr. Li, I'm afraid that won't work." Su Tianyu interrupted before Liu Laoer could respond.
Li Hongze turned his head and looked at Su Tianyu. He said nothing, but his eyes were questioning.
"There's nothing wrong with both sides taking a step back and letting go." Su Tianyu said calmly, "However, the bumps and bumps in the middle can't be brushed off with just one sentence."
"If you can't bring it over, then what do you want to do?" A middle-aged man next to Li Hongze's left hand asked fiercely.
"Pay compensation. I won't mention the expenses of the strike. That's the price paid during the fight. It doesn't make sense to ask anyone for it." Su Tianyu looked directly at the other party and replied, "But two workers were seriously injured, my Su family's garbage dump was smashed and burned, and my second brother was hacked. These are all real losses, right? This is beyond the scope of a fight, right? Boss Li, you just brushed it off with a few bumps and bruises, but that's probably not appropriate, right?"
After he finished speaking, the room fell silent. Lu Feng lowered his head and fiddled with the tea set on the table without saying a word.
"Haha, how much money do you want us to pay in compensation?" Li Hongze asked with a smile.
"Six hundred thousand." Before Su Tianyu could open his mouth, Kong Zhenghui, who had been silent, quoted the price.
"Six hundred thousand, I gave you this, will you spend it?" The burly man next to Li Hongze stood up and said, "I'm talking to you because I'm giving Wang Daolin and Yu Jinrong face, do you understand? You're still taking advantage of me?!"
Kong Zhenghui didn't even look at the other party, he just said to Li Hongze: "I spent nearly 200,000 yuan to find the media, and you are willing to talk only after everything is laid out. Shouldn't you also report this money to me?"
Li Hongze was silent for a while and did not refute.
Kong Zhenghui looked directly at the other party, feeling very confident, because he felt that Li Hongze could no longer bear the pressure and had to make a compromise as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the situation continued, the flowered shirt issue would involve Lufeng, and the shooting case would be exaggerated by Wang Daolin and become a major case filed by the police station. No matter what kind of punishment Changqing Company faced in the end, they would definitely be labeled a gangster group by the public. This was absolutely unacceptable to Zheng Fuan, who supported them.
As for the media, Li Hongze currently does not have the ability to suppress all public opinion. Now that the man in the flowered shirt has been arrested, the evidence is irrefutable. If Kong Zhenghui makes a fuss about the serious injury of workers and the smashing and burning of the Su family's cargo yard, then Li Xing will also be very uncomfortable. Because the cause of this incident was that the Anti-Smuggling Department arrested the leaders of four companies, he would naturally be implicated.
Li Hongze still has a card in his hand, that is, the heads of the four families of Su, Liu, Bai and Kong have not been released yet, and he can use this as a threat.
But is it really cost-effective to continue to quarrel with these four companies and make things bigger just because of the compensation of 600,000 yuan
Li Hongze was furious, but his mind was very clear. His expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and nodded: "Just 600,000 in cash, right?"
"Yes, just 600,000." Su Tianyu nodded in response.
"Okay, that's settled then." Li Hongze stood up and looked at Lu Feng expressionlessly and said, "You messed up, so you have to figure out how to compensate me."
Lu Feng nodded without saying anything.
"Okay, you guys sit down." Li Hongze waved at the four families and left the box directly with the three men in the room.
In the quiet room, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes and looked at the people in front of him, and whispered: "Tell the finance department to bring over 600,000 immediately."
"Okay." The person next to Lu Feng also stepped out.
Lu Feng lit a cigarette and glanced at Su Tianyu. The negative emotions in his heart had already reached his forehead.
About ten minutes later, the financial officer of Changqing Company walked in from the office next to Fuman Building, carrying two plastic bags.
"Have you ordered?" Lu Feng asked.
"Okay." The finance department nodded.
Lu Feng pointed at the money bag, held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Take it."
On the sofa on the north side, Liu Laoer looked at Lu Feng with sweat on his forehead. After Bai Hongbo felt the atmosphere in the room, his balls in his crotch began to tremble.
Su Tianyu and Kong Zhenghui looked at each other, stood up, grabbed the purse, and said in unison: "Thank you, Boss Li."
"Let's go!" Su Tianbei shouted.
“Bang!”
Just as he finished speaking, the vicious man who had been sitting on Li Hongze's left rushed in with a machete, pointed at the four families and cursed: "I'm giving it to you, and you really dare to take it?!"
"Brother, don't be impulsive. There are police officers downstairs." Bai Hongbo kindly reminded him after he stood up.
Hearing the voice, the sturdy man replied neatly: "I know there are police officers. I'll chop you down right now, and throw the knife down when I get downstairs. Isn't it just going to jail? I admit that I've been in jail for five years. Chop the Changqing man up for me!!! Don't touch the money. If you chop the man into pieces, throw the money down with them!"
Su Tianyu put down his money bag, picked up the floor-standing decorative lamp next to the sofa with one hand, and took two steps to Lu Feng: "I see you are hanging your head like a dog, as if you are a little dissatisfied?! Damn it, I will break your rules today in your territory!"
"Bang!!!"
A table lamp more than one meter long smashed directly towards Lu Feng. The latter suddenly jumped up and raised his arm to block it. Then the battle officially began.
