Chapter 1227 The First Step to Seizing Power

Of course, Shen Xing's brain is more flexible than Guo Liming's.

This time, when Daban Bianshui purchased various kinds of wine, Shen Xing took the initiative to tell Uncle Cai the price, and did not ask for the rebate from Wang Yan. This was not because Shen Xing took the money, and Uncle Cai would really find out. After all, it was all transferred into the account, and Wang Yan could even legally transfer it to his domestic account.

Shen Xing knew that last time, although Wang Yan did not take direct action, he had already saved him and consumed the favor.

It depends on the situation. If he had reported Wang Yan's name at that time and Uncle Cai had released him directly instead of asking Dan Tuo to go to Wang Yan for a talk, then he could still ask Wang Yan for help in the future. But if he did, then his relationship with Wang Yan would no longer be enough to support him to continue asking Wang Yan for help.

In fact, he and Wang Yanben did not have a very deep friendship, and they had only known each other for three months. He was able to help him, on the one hand, because Wang Yan had completely taken over the Xinhao Hotel and the construction team, and on the other hand, because Wang himself was a generous and particular person, and was willing to take care of him. This was the main reason.

After all, he paid for the construction team and even gave a high price to help Shen Xing escape. He took the opportunity to rob the Xinhao Hotel from the warlord Sang Kang, who was beaten up by Ban Long, because he offended him. He was risking his life. It had nothing to do with Shen Xing.

This time it was different. He told Wang Yan the bottom price but didn't ask for anything in return, which meant he kept the reward and saved up a favor. Next time he had any problems, he could come to Wang Yan and save his life.

Shen Xing was scared, he had been scared for a long time. But he still insisted, and was determined to find his uncle, but at the same time he had to make more preparations. Whether it was for his own safety or to ask Wang Yan for help after finding his uncle, this was very necessary...

After knowing the high price, Uncle Cai didn't say anything. He had to agree. After all, people in the mountains were in a hurry, and cigarettes and alcohol were their sustenance. He couldn't delay too long, so he decided on it.

Uncle Cai called Wang Yan that day to express his gratitude, and that afternoon he sent Shen Xing and Dan Tuo to drive over with the purchase list of liquor and went to the fire-stricken tobacco and liquor warehouse with Guo Liming.

As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. There are many smuggled products, and most of them have high profits. One or two of course doesn't matter. When all kinds of things are piled up into a mountain, it is a gold mountain. And just a small fire can destroy this gold mountain, causing heavy losses.

Therefore, all kinds of things are scattered in different warehouses, and the import and export items are not in the same place, which disperses the risks to the maximum extent. Of course, this is mainly because the scale of the Fourth Master is large, otherwise, it would not be so troublesome.

That afternoon, Shen Xing and Dan Tuo took away the first batch of goods and deposited the money into the account for the water diversion business, completing the first delivery...

For Wang Yan, this was of course a small matter. There was nothing important about Uncle Cai's call to him. It was just a polite remark. He also expressed that everyone would cooperate in a friendly manner in the future and personally conveyed that he did not want to have a conflict with Wang Yan.

Wang Yan also politely conveyed his goodwill. At present, he and Uncle Cai did not have any conflicts.

His main contradiction now is the contradiction between the oppression of Xiaomo by large and small forces and their rebellion.

Although he seemed to be free, Xiaomo's work was far from over.

Although Xiaomo Nong is not a big place, it has a population of 100,000 including the people in the town and the villages below. In addition, because of the port, there are also many tourists here. Among them, domestic tourists are the most, but there are also some people from other countries and regions. From time to time, you can see Western faces here, adding up to several thousand more people.

In such a small place, with so many people gathered, it is still very lively and the forces are very diverse.

The Fourth Master is the most powerful, but he is not the only one. There are no good people here. A few people with a few guns can do anything. But relatively speaking, when it comes to the Fourth Master, his power is already established and his prestige has been accumulated for a long time. People are unwilling to provoke him. A few groups of people alone cannot defeat the Fourth Master.

But that means others can still make money, and it hasn't seriously infringed on other people's interests, making it impossible for them to make money.

Of course Wang Yan could be gentle, but there was no need. The federal government was okay, and President Chen was also okay. After all, they were still useful. But there was no reason for him to be gentle with these little bastards here.

If everything is mild, then he went abroad in vain.

So the gunshots from Xiaomo Nong continued to ring out. Those who refused to obey and cooperated would all be killed. Anyway, no matter whether it was Wang Yan's men or the people over there, there were no good people. Death was the end of it. As long as he could achieve his goal, it was enough.

After all, his salary is high enough, so there really aren't too many people who want to work for him...

His purpose was very simple, which was to achieve a monopoly on the water business and other wild animal business in Xiaomolong and nearby areas. Only in this way could he make a lot of money.

But because it is a port town, the people here are basically all involved in these, and there are also people from the country who trade on both sides. It is really a huge industrial chain involving a relatively large interest group.

However, Wang Yan did not intend to block everyone's path. He wanted to destroy all organized and large-scale gangs. This step was enough.

By then, we can open a proper shopping mall, selling all kinds of domestic and foreign goods, and the things sold will be even cheaper than those in duty-free shops.

Although this is very profitable, it is not enough. His goal is to further enrich the tourist experience through such a shopping mall, further attract tourists from all over the world, so as to boost the overall economic level of Xiaomo Nong, increase employment opportunities, and carry out large-scale development of Xiaomo Nong.

He really did a lot for the federal government, and the federal government will definitely thank him...

The governor of Xiaomo Nong is a middle-aged man named Liu Wenmin. He is fair-skinned and thin. Wang Yan can tell at a glance that this guy is addicted to drugs and indulges in excessive sexual activities.

Of course, it is well maintained, after all, he is not short of money. It was Wang Yan who found it. Others don’t understand, but they see that it looks very energetic and a bit majestic.

The leader of the government army in Xiaomo Nong was named Lin Changsheng. He was also a middle-aged man, but he looked like a military officer. He was tall and strong, had a beard, and had a fierce look in his eyes. It was obvious at first glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

As can be seen from their names, these two people are Chinese. In fact, most of the people in power at the top of Xiaomonong are Chinese.

Xiaomounong is a highly autonomous place. Nominally, it obeys the federal government, but the federal government's power does not extend into the power of Xiaomounong's top leaders.

In short, the two people in front of him are the ones in charge of Xiaomo Nong.

One is a political leader who controls the lives of 100,000 people, and the other is a military leader who controls 6,000 troops in Xiaomo Nong.

Among the two of them, Liu Wenmin is the most respected.

It was not that Liu Wenmin suppressed Lin Changsheng, but that Lin Changsheng was promoted by Liu Wenmin, and he also had close ties with many of the officers under him, thus marginalizing and checking Lin Changsheng to a certain extent. At the same time, the logistics and some personnel powers were also held in the hands of Liu Wenmin.

As for the struggle between the two of them, it is self-evident. It seems that Lin Changsheng is ambitious...

This time, Wang Yan did not look for Chen Hao to pass the message. Instead, he handed in a visiting card a few days in advance and took the initiative to come to the government office building here to meet them in Liu Wenmin's luxurious office.

After they met and exchanged greetings, Wang Yan sat down.

Lin Changsheng spoke first: "Mr. Wang, things have been unsettled in Xiaomo Nong recently. It's even spread on the Internet, saying that you want to start a war."

"General, you are joking. I only have a few men and a few guns. Under the rule of Chief Wen Min, what kind of trouble can I cause? It's just a small fight. Provoking a war? General, you think too highly of me."

Wang Yan held a cigarette in one hand and a wine glass in the other, sitting on the comfortable sofa with his legs crossed, looking very relaxed.

He looked at Liu Wenmin and said, "Sir, the small friction I have been doing recently has indeed made me feel uneasy, but it will have to continue for a while. I hope you understand. I think you have received my apology. Are you satisfied?"

"We are all family, all family." Liu Wenmin laughed, as if he was very generous. "Compared to the Fourth Master, our cooperation is more pleasant. The stability and prosperity of Xiaomo Nong still depends on businessmen like you. You are a Chinese and understand the importance of economic development. Now you are a big businessman in Xiaomo Nong, and you have to worry about its future."

"Sir, you think highly of me. What's the point of me worrying about this? We still need your leadership and solidarity to build Xiaomo better."

Wang Yan continued, "I came here this time, first, to meet the commander and the general, and second, I have some ideas that I want to discuss with you two."

"Tell me."

So Wang Yan talked about the various benefits of building a large shopping mall, and then he got down to business: "For this shopping mall, the commander will provide the land, and I will pay for the construction. I will take 30% of the final profit, and the remaining 70% will be at the commander's disposal. In addition, I hope the general will do me a favor in the future. Let's cooperate with each other from above, and the people below should not be so strict. You can give some benefits, but the people below should not be greedy."

Liu Wenmin and Lin Changsheng both looked at Wang Yan, only to see Wang Yan smiling amiably and not avoiding their gazes...

After thinking for a while, Liu Wenmin nodded: "Which land do you want?"

"The vacant land south of the Sihai Hotel can be developed and basically completed in two years. Before that, I think the street in front of the Century Hotel can be tidied up, and the vendors and shops can be carefully sorted out, and the rules and prices can be clearly defined. At the same time, petty thieves and dangerous people can be dealt with to ensure the safety of tourists.

As long as we make a determined effort to clean up the place, I think Xiaomo Nong will be able to have a brand new look. I am doing tourism to attract tourists. As long as they have a good experience, the income of that street will more than double, and the tax revenue will be even higher. With sufficient finances, the soldiers and government officials will be stable, the people of Xiaomo Nong will feel at ease, and the superiors will have spare capacity to build Xiaomo Nong so that the people of Xiaomo Nong can live and work in peace and contentment. "Officials here are neither officials nor bandits. They govern the place based on their feelings. None of them are educated. Even if they have lackeys and so-called high-quality and high-level think tanks, in the final analysis, it is these players who have no skills but hold on to power who make the final decision.

In terms of urban governance, they are far behind.

Of course, their means of political struggle are not sophisticated. They all use guns and money to speak. They have no rules, or even if they have rules, they are almost non-existent.

Rather than using various rules, methods and strategies to fight within a certain framework like a powerful country. Although the essence is also bloody, it is obviously more civilized and more decent than the barbarism of Sanbianpo.

It seems that now, Wang Yan can directly kill the two people with the highest power in Xiaomo Nong, and after some tricks, he can directly become the governor of Xiaomo Nong. Of course, the method is more strenuous, and the federal government will definitely have to send troops to kill him, which consumes relatively more energy.

And because his power had not expanded to that extent, he was not in a hurry at all, so he just sat here, chatting with these two people patiently and politely, and giving them money.

But sending money is not a problem. After all, money will not disappear, it will only be transferred. Let alone giving them 70%, even if they gave them all, what would happen? It is nothing more than transferring it back later...

"We need to study the matter of the street where Century Casino is located. The land issue is easy to handle. I'll have someone find you later. You can mark out the land over there yourself. But I remember there are a few buildings over there, and..."

"I'll place it."

Liu Wenmin nodded: "That's perfect."

Wang Yan smiled and raised his glass: "That's it, sir, general, I toast to you two."

So after the three of them drank a glass of wine together, Wang Yan said goodbye and left, still so relaxed...

Watching Wang Yan leave, Lin Changsheng snorted, "He's a bit arrogant. He doesn't even take us seriously."

"Didn't you receive the things he sent?" Liu Wenmin glanced at him.

Lin Changsheng smiled, stopped talking, and just continued drinking, because he had received a lot, and he believed that Liu Wenmin must have received even more.

Not long after the Fourth Master was killed, when they were still receiving the inheritance, Wang Yan had given them money. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to have not expressed anything for such a long time, and for Xiaomo to have been in such a mess.

At present, Wang Yan was about to take down the water business, and the killing was stable, so he came to discuss the next move. Therefore, he did not join the government army before, mainly to show his strength.

Of course, in fact, they both knew how awesome Wang Yan was. Even with 6,000 troops in hand, they didn't dare to go too far with Wang Yan. After all, everyone knew that the government army and Xiaomo's government were a big sieve and couldn't hide anything. Wang Yan had already started to make friends with these people.

If they want to carry out some actions against him, there is no absolute confidentiality. Too many people can't hide, too few people can't fight, and Wang's real record can be checked. If Wang Yan gets away, with his individual ability, they won't have to sleep.

And to be honest, in terms of the resources that can be mobilized, Chen Hao is actually more powerful than the two of them. What is the result? Chen Hao has not returned to Daqulin yet...

Liu Wenmin took a sip of wine, took a puff of cigarette, and let out a long breath.

"So far, he is not crazy and still has brains. His suggestions are also quite reasonable and feasible. Next, you should cooperate with him, manage the people under you, and don't cause trouble. He wants stability, and we want him to have stability."

"I know." Lin Changsheng responded and asked, "You said that he just said that he could give us some benefits, but we can't be greedy. Did he say that to us?"

"What else?" Liu Wenmin looked at Lin Changsheng steadily, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Lin Changsheng was not as rude as he looked. He did not say anything more. He just responded with one sentence, drank the wine in the glass, and stood up to leave.

He knew that Liu Wenmin was repeating Wang Yan's words to him, trying to warn him...

Wang Yan left the government office building alone and drove a tall black Hummer back to the hotel.

This Hummer was a second-hand car that he bought recently. He thought it was pretty good, so he kept it. The good thing about his current business was that he had everything he needed. He could find everything from cigarettes, alcohol, sugar, tea, clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and they were all high-quality goods.

Not to mention anything else, the clothes worn by sisters Su Su and Zhao Ziying, as well as their daily cosmetics, skin care products, etc., are all big brands and all sold through fraudulent means.

The two sisters were very happy. After all, in China, if they were not cruel to themselves, they would never be willing to spend money on these things in their lifetime...

When I returned to the hotel, I saw Shen Xing and Guo Liming sitting on the sofa in the lobby smoking.

Wang Yan walked over with a smile: "Xing'er, come here. No need to get up, just sit down, don't be so polite."

Then he sat on the sofa and let Guo Liming light a cigarette for him.

"what's the topic?"

"Brother Xing told me about the tricks of Binshui, such as walking up the mountain and collecting water. I didn't know that before."

Shen Xing said: "Not knowing is a good thing. Why would someone who deals with drug lords need to know so much? I'm not a mountain hiker either, I'm just collecting water."

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "I remember that your Daban has a business of stolen electronic products. I have been very active recently. Guess what Uncle said?"

"Brother Yan, didn't you not beat Uncle Cai? He was even joking with me, saying that he didn't do anything to him because of my face."

"Isn't it because of your face?" Wang Yan said with a smile, "Thanks to you, I made three times as much money from selling wine, which is more profitable than the few electronic products he was dealing in. Otherwise, it would be hard to say."

"Oh, then I have finally averted a disaster."

"What do you think? You can tell Uncle Cai about this when you get back. This kid is a little immature."

"Uh..." Shen Xing didn't understand what was wrong with Uncle Cai, so he could only agree.

"Are you dead?" Wang Yan asked.

"I'm taking a break today. I have to go a long way tomorrow. I have to go to the Mokuan Mountain. They asked me to send a troupe there. I just thought that I haven't come to see Brother Yan for a long time, so I came to show my face."

Wang Yan smiled and said, "Alright, we are all family, no need to be so polite. Speaking of which, things have been a bit unsettled over at the Mokuangshan recently."

"What happened? Brother Yan? Brother Xing won't be in danger, right?" Guo Liming is still a good boy with a kind heart.

"It's nothing. I heard that pigeon blood red was dug out. The blockade there has been very tight recently, and the inspections are very strict. Aren't you sending a troupe? It's not a big problem, don't be afraid."

Shen Xing's eyes flashed, and he had figured out some things.

Wang Yan then said, "I haven't asked for the details. It's a good opportunity for you to go there. If you have any news, please tell me later. I haven't seen pigeon blood red yet."

"Brother Yan, what is pigeon blood red?" Shen Xing asked in confusion.

"The best gemstone is ruby, and the best ruby ​​is pigeon blood red. I heard that a small piece like a fingernail can be sold for tens of millions of dollars. Of course, that's outside. In Sanbianpo, the difference is too big. Let's cut it in half."

"That's quite a lot." Guo Limin said, "It would be great if I could pick up one. Brother Yan, you can carve it and wear it yourself. It will be more useful than your gold chain."

Wang Yan laughed, patted Guo Limin on the shoulder, and let the two good friends chat on their own. He walked away...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
