Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 8: Toasting, not eating, drinking and punishing

If a gang wants to develop stably in a city, it must have its own source of income. Chen Zheng knows that he can rely on his family to support him, but the gang will not bring benefits to the family, but instead will burden the family. What is a useless gang? use it.

Chen Zheng decided to follow Pang Hu's management model but be a little more innovative.Changle Fang is not considered wealthy in Beiping City, and Chen Zheng doesn't want to use such indiscriminate blackmail methods. It will damage his identity and cause conflicts with the merchants in Changle Fang. It is undoubtedly killing chickens to get eggs. Chen Zheng will not do this It's a matter of fact, and the few protection fees collected are not as much as the pocket money given by the family, so what is the use of it?

Chen Zheng wanted to completely bundle the interests of the various merchants in Changlefang and the Heluo Gang to achieve a win-win situation. He thought of some practices on Blue Star, but he didn't know if it was still applicable.Instruct Li Qing to bring the owners of the large and small merchants in Changle Square to the Heluo Gang resident to discuss important matters.

After a while, the bosses of the major merchants in Changle Square, including restaurants, brothels, post stations, casinos, inns, etc., came to the Heluo Gang resident. This was because Chen Zheng, Li Qing and Fang Ming were not there. Greeting each other, I want to know in my heart that something big is about to happen.

But what is the big deal, these bosses can also guess a thing or two, it is nothing more than the monthly protection fee, before Pang Hu called them from time to time to ask for money, relying on the Jiang family, how dare the people present resist, there are For those who disagree, the corpse is still soaking in the stinking ditch.Pang Hu was an adult at any rate, and he knew that his sense of propriety didn't push them too hard, and Pang Hu was easier to gamble, so he was easier to serve.The master of the Chen family is known as the "Peking One Evil" and is young and vigorous. What should he do if he messes with some kind of moth?
Amid the apprehension of the bosses, Chen Zheng slowly came to the hall, followed by Li Qing and Fang Ming standing behind him.

"Hello, bosses. I think everyone knows me. I will introduce myself again. Chen Zheng is currently the leader of the Heluo Gang. I will have many contacts with you in the future. Please take care of me."

Chen Zheng sat down on his seat, laughing and talking authentically.

All the bosses complained in their hearts, who wants to spend more time with you, a dude, and let me earn money.They didn't show it on the surface, and they all catered to each other: "Where is it, we still need Young Master Chen to escort us."

"Yes, yes, yes, with Young Master Chen, we will feel more at ease when doing business."

Looking at the fake face full of hypocritical smiles and polite words below, Chen Zheng cleared his throat and said: "Ahem, please pay attention to all the bosses, I am not the youngest of the Chen family, but the leader of our Heluo Gang .”

The faces of all the bosses froze, this Chen family boy doesn't give any face, can't we let people in their 50s and [-]s call him the boss?

On the other hand, Boss Jin of the Golden Knife Tower responded with a smile: "We will naturally need a lot of help from Boss Chen in the future, so I don't know why Boss Chen called us here today?"

"Boss Jin, you are welcome. My Heluo Gang will take care of you after collecting your monthly payment. There should be no one in Changle Fang who dares to stroke the beard. It's just that I have some new ideas for the monthly payment. I want to share with you bosses. Let's discuss it."

Now that the show is coming, the bosses thought to themselves, and said, "Then Boss Chen has any new ideas, let's talk about it."

Chen Zheng paused and said: "My idea is that it was unreasonable for Pang Hu to charge a fixed monthly payment every month. Everyone is a businessman, and there will always be a day when business is not good. The monthly payment is the same, which is not a big disadvantage. So I want to adjust."

The bosses were a little surprised when they heard this, but they didn’t expect that what this dude said was quite reasonable. It turns out that they often complain that the monthly payment is the same. If you can't afford it, Chen Zheng said it well, but I don't know how he should adjust it.

Chen Zheng's next words made these bosses angry.

"I plan to collect [-]% of the monthly profit of each family in the future. Note that it is pure profit."

Immediately, the crowd was excited.

Boss Lu from the Lu Family Pharmacy was the first to jump out and objected loudly: "This is impossible, Young Master Chen, do you think this monthly payment is what you want? You are thinking too simply, this lion opened his mouth You ask everyone present who will agree to the conditions, wanting [-]% of our profits for no reason, daydreaming." Many big bosses also echoed.

Chen Zheng said coldly: "Oh, who said that no one will agree, you should take a good look, except you big bosses, do you think other people have objections?"

Boss Lu looked around, and indeed, apart from the big boss of Changlefang, no one from other small businesses spoke.He asked the owner of Bai's Tea Shop: "Boss Boss, can you accept this [-]% monthly income?"

Boss Boss scolded inwardly. If you ask me what to do, you will offend people. He looked at Chen Zheng who was sneering above him, and gritted his teeth and said, "I support Boss Chen's method. You are all big shops paying 50 taels a month. Starting from the monthly payment, a small business like me sometimes can’t even get 50 taels a month, it turns out that Pang Hu has often asked for trouble, so why should I not agree.”

The bosses of those small businesses nodded one after another.

Boss Lu wanted to say something more and Chen Zheng interrupted him: "How is it? Boss Lu, do you know how to settle accounts or can't tell the situation? There are forty or fifty stores in Changlefang, only a few of you big merchants disagree, and a few Do you understand obeying the majority?"

Looking at Chen Zheng's slightly complacent face, I felt even more angry. I had to give Chen Zheng [-]% of my monthly profits of thousands of taels. This was impossible, so I threatened: "Master Chen, this Pekingese There has never been a gang in the city that collects [-]% of the profits, even the Four Seas Gang and the Three Eyes Society dare not do so, where is your confidence."

Chen Zheng felt angry. This man named Lu dared to mention the Jiang family's gang. He really thought he didn't know that he was the Jiang family's dog.

"Boss Lu didn't say these words casually, so be careful that the misfortune comes out of your mouth."

With a thud, Tianfeng used his footwork, grabbed Boss Lu by the collar and thrust him to the ground, and stomped Boss Lu's head to the ground heavily, making Boss Lu very messy.

The bosses thought that the two would quarrel, but they didn't expect Chen Zheng to be so irritable, so they moved their hands directly. Seeing blood oozing faintly on the ground, they hurried up to persuade Chen Zheng to stop.

Li Qing and Fang Ming watched coldly from the main seat, very calm.

Boss Lu was terrified at this moment, afraid that Chen Zheng would continue to fight, so he could only show his hole card: "Chen Zheng! Do you dare to hit me? I am from the Jiang family. If you do it again, it will be a provocation to the Jiang family. Hurry up and let go!" Leave me." Boss Lu knew that the Chen family, the Jiang family and the Lin family had been fighting in the city for many years, and they all restrained and feared each other, hoping to calm down Chen Zheng.

Who would have thought that Chen Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "I beat Jiang Chengyu, but the Jiang family didn't say a word, and now I can't do anything with one of the Jiang family's dogs?"

At this time, the image of Rakshasa gradually appeared in Chen Zheng's mind, and he put his hand on the knife unconsciously, "I don't want to drink a toast, I want to use the Jiang family to suppress me, I forgot that I am the young master of the Chen family!"

With a bang, there was a flash of swords among the crowd, Boss Lu's head was cut off by Chen Zheng and held in his hand, his eyes were still full of disbelief.
