The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Bagua Market, Sanjie Cold Noodle Shop.

As night falls, slices of browned beef are tumbling on the old-fashioned oven. Along with the green smoke, a strong aroma of barbecue spreads into the distance.

Seven or eight gentlemen in delicate shirts sat around the oven, drinking heavily and eating large pieces of meat. They were so happy.

The leader had a stubbled crew cut, a square face, and a thick neck that closely connected his head to his torso.

From time to time, someone nearby toasted him with wine.

"Brother Gun, do it."

"Brother Gun, I respect you."

His name was Qiang Man, and he was one of the first people to do business in the Bagua Market. Because his surname was Qiang, over time he was called Lao Qiang.

Lao Qiang was sentenced to prison for robbery in the 80s. After he was released from prison, he couldn't find a job, so he set up a street stall in the Bagua Market. Just in time to catch up with the spring breeze of reform and opening up, the business grew bigger and bigger. The initial street stall became... It became a counter in the middle of the road, and finally moved into boutique houses on both sides of the road.

Today, he owns three boutique houses in Bagua Market. His main business is selling shoes, such as old man, big profit, small profit, and the king of women. The business is very big.

Because he had been in prison, was a fierce person, and had been doing business in the Bagua market for a long time, slowly, a group of small bosses gathered around him, and everyone listened to him.

This time the city wants to reform the Bagua Market, and Lao Qiang is the one who is most opposed to it. The reason is very simple: it affects his interests.

The three boutique houses he now owns are all haphazardly constructed illegal buildings. In the 80s, no one was in charge of Bagua Market, and whoever had the biggest fist would listen.

Lao Gun took advantage of the chaos of that era and built three mobile homes on both sides of the road.Now that the city wants to renovate Bagua Market, its three illegally built houses must be demolished.

When Lao Qiang heard the news, he was like a cat in a state of rage. He got entangled with a group of people and went to the industrial and commercial office to make a fuss, saying that no transformation was allowed.

In fact, for small bosses like them, 2 yuan for a boutique house is not expensive at all. Lao Qiang has also accumulated a net worth of one million yuan over the years. A mere 6 yuan is not a problem for him, but For people like them, it would be worse to take a penny out of their pocket than to kill him.

Lao Qiang's thoughts also represented the aspirations of many small bosses in the Bagua Market. Soon a large number of like-minded people gathered around him, and they all plotted to jointly fight against the transformation.

Lao Qiang happily ate a big mouthful of roasted beef, drank a large glass of beer, and slammed his hand on the table, "Brothers, as long as we unite, the Industrial and Commercial Office can't do anything to us. I'm here to speak. Put it down, as long as my old gun doesn't nod, the transformation will not proceed."

His words quickly won the response of the small bosses, who applauded warmly.

"Okay, Brother Gun said it well."

"Let's all have a drink together."

"Let's all toast Brother Gun together."

The scene was chaotic, and under the stimulation of alcohol, each of these small bosses seemed to be the masters of their own destiny.

Lin Zhiyuan hosted a banquet for Geng Zhenbiao, Feng Mingda and Pu Wei at the Tianwaitian Hotel, which was no more than 1000 meters away from Sanjie Lengmenmen.

Geng Zhenbiao took the application form written by Bagua Business and looked at it carefully.

Lin Zhiyuan took his time and waited patiently.

Since Geng Zhenbiao became the director, he has become more cautious when encountering problems.

He read the thin application for more than two minutes.

Finally Geng Zhenbiao put the application on the table and looked up at Pu Wei, "Director Pu, the application is written correctly, but there is a problem here. According to the principle of reciprocity, your Industrial and Commercial Bureau should connect with our Public Security Bureau. …”

Pu Wei's mind was spinning very quickly, "Director Geng, what you said is that I will report it to the bureau later, and the bureau will come forward to contact the Public Security Bureau."

"What is the attitude of your Industrial and Commercial Bureau on this matter?"

"Director Geng, our bureau definitely hopes that the transformation will be carried out as early as possible and as thoroughly as possible. After all, this is a task assigned by the city..." Pu Wei said and glanced at Lin Zhiyuan.

He didn't expect Lin Zhiyuan to be so wild. With just a phone call, he could invite the first and second leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. It seemed that there was a way to do this.

If the transformation of the Bagua Market can be successfully completed, I will definitely make a great contribution to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and I may be able to go further in the future.

Lin Zhiyuan smiled at him and reassured him, then turned to Geng Zhenbiao and Feng Mingda and said: "Geng Bureau, Feng Bureau, to be honest, I have bought several boutique houses from Director Pu, and now the gossip market is so prosperous. , the business will definitely get better and better in the future, if you have spare money, you might as well buy a few boutique houses."

Pu Wei hurriedly replied: "Yes, Director Geng, Director Feng, if you are interested, just come to me. I don't have much ability. This little thing can still help."

Geng Zhenbiao and Feng Mingda seemed to be a little tempted. They looked at each other and then raised their glasses at the same time.

When Pu Wei saw the attitudes of the two of them, he knew it was done.

With a clang, four wine glasses clinked together, and the wine in the glasses swayed...

******

One day in early September, two forklifts, plus dozens of workers, drove into the Bagua Market from the entrance of Xinhua Street.

The Bagua Market renovation project has officially begun.

Countless people who eat melons have already brought small mats and small benches, carrying melon seeds and tea, and spontaneously sat on both sides of the road, waiting to watch the show.

Because Lao Qiang has already said that anyone who dares to touch the boutique houses in the Bagua Market will have trouble with him. Lao Qiang even threatened that no matter who dares to enter the Bagua Market, he will let him come in standing or leave lying down.

Therefore, everyone in the Bagua Market is very interested in today's transformation to see what the result will be?

In the early morning of early autumn, the Bagua Market was already crowded with people before it opened, and countless eyes were paying attention to every move here.

However, to everyone's disappointment, the hot scene they hoped for did not happen.

When the forklifts and workers entered the Bagua Market, they were followed by more than 100 police officers who were waiting in full formation, and thirty or forty urban management officers from the Construction Committee Supervision Detachment. It was a huge lineup.

On the other hand, Lao Qiang, who had been shouting louder than a bald-tailed dog, was nowhere to be seen.

According to well-informed sources, a few days before the transformation, someone specially sent a message to Lao Qiang.

If he cooperates obediently with the reform, nothing will happen to him. If he insists on going his own way, the superiors will deal with him. After all, he has been in business for so many years, so it is impossible for him to have nothing bad happen at all.

A combination of factors has led to today's one-sided situation.

Amidst the huge roar of the forklift, the first boutique house on the roadside was easily flattened like paper.

The situation was over, and the melon-eaters dispersed in droves.

They rushed into the Industrial and Commercial Office crazily, waving their banknotes to buy boutique houses, but what they didn't expect was that on the huge map of the Industrial and Commercial Office office, more than a quarter of the best boutique houses had been sold. , densely packed with small red flags all over the map.

These small bosses quit again and roared at Pu Wei. Now that Pu Wei was confident, he put one hand on his waist and said, "I asked you to buy it a long time ago, but you just didn't buy it. How can you blame me? I told you You guys, if you hesitate any longer, you’ll lose all the rest.”

Pu Wei's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. These small bosses went crazy, fearing that they would not be able to grab the last hair, and the crowd would instantly drown Pu Wei.

"Director Pu, I'll buy one."

"I'll buy two."

For a time, people's enthusiasm for buying was unprecedentedly high.
