Chapter 450: Using a stick as a dog

Wang Gensheng smiled and waved to the two of them, inviting them to sit down and chat. As a person who had experienced this in the future, Wang Gensheng certainly would not look down on the old beggar.

He asked his secretary Ran Qiuye to make two cups of tea, and the three of them sat down and chatted slowly. Seeing the elementary school teacher in front of him, Bang Geng's body froze. He looked at Ran Qiuye's back as he walked out the door, wondering what he was thinking?

After the old beggar sat down, he waved at Banggeng, asking him to come back to life, and then said to Wang Gensheng,

"It is impolite not to return the favor. We are guests here, and I, an old beggar, cannot come empty-handed. This is a gift for you."

Banggeng came to his senses, hurriedly took out a brown paper bag from his arms and handed it to Wang Gensheng.

Wang Gensheng took it and placed it on the desk, opened the brown paper and examined it carefully. It was a book, and judging from its condition, it was obviously not an item from recent years, but rather an old book.

After opening the cover and taking a closer look, I discovered that the contents inside were some knowledge on how to identify antiques, as well as some records of the quality identification of items.

Looking at the preface at the front of the page, this is an introductory book that teaches pawnshop owners how to identify items they collect.

After I have studied this book thoroughly, when I search for some antiques in a few years, I will be able to at least tell the authenticity of some things with this knowledge.

This era was not the era of high-tech counterfeiting in later generations, and people who dared to counterfeit were not so rampant. What's more, there was a strong wind blowing in the society, and people were shouting to destroy the four olds everywhere. This thing should also fall within the scope of smashing, looting and burning.

Who dares to forge antiques? That would be the same as seeking death.

People who are capable and know what's good are eager to disguise old items as new, hoping to get through these special years safely.

Seeing Wang Gensheng accept the gift he gave him and looking very satisfied, the old beggar nodded imperceptibly.

"I knew you and I are the same kind of people, brother."

"My life has been quite turbulent. When I was young, I encountered the Japanese war. At that time, I worked hard to get into a pawn shop as an apprentice. I became the apprentice of a shopkeeper, who passed on my skills and the book in your hand to me."

"But before the good days I imagined could begin, the two parties started fighting each other. Then the capital was liberated, and even the pawnshop where I worked was gone. My eyesight, which I was so proud of, was no longer useful."

"After many twists and turns, I joined the Beggars' Gang for food, and now I am the old beggar leader in this area. I am not like you young people who dare to live a good life and hold a job in the country and work in a factory."

The old beggar was talking about his past. When Ran Qiuye brought him tea, he didn't even touch the cup. He asked Ran Qiuye to put the cup on the coffee table in front of him, still reminiscing about the past.

"Perhaps it was fate that I met this little guy Bang Geng a few years ago. He is quite entertaining. His style of doing things is also to my liking. By the way, I played a few tricks on him and tricked him into doing something."

"You can bring him over to chat whenever you feel lonely, but this guy is too cunning and has never gotten close to me."

"It was not until this kid was caught stealing and put in a juvenile detention center that I went to see him and he finally gave in and became my disciple. This kid is lucky. After going to the countryside for a few years and coming back, his skills haven't fallen behind at all. He is much better than my bunch of useless disciples."

When the old beggar said this, Bang Geng's face lit up with a proud smile. I don't know where his confidence came from? Could it be that he was really a natural thief?

"It just so happens that I am old, so I am going to help him get started. In the future, I will take over the two streets around the cinema and barely make a living. I hope Director Wang, you can give me some face in the future and not bother with this kid."

"If he has made any mistakes, I, an old man, will apologize to you on his behalf. If Director Wang feels that this is not enough, you can take these eyes as well."

Wang Gensheng now realized that the old beggar treated Banggeng very well. He thought that Wang Gensheng called the two of them here to take the opportunity to deal with Banggeng, and he came to beg for mercy.

Looking at the old beggar in front of him, Wang Gensheng's mouth curled up unconsciously and he spoke.

"Master Jun, I'm afraid you misunderstood. I called Bang Geng over this time just to discuss with him. I don't care how he plans this area in the future. But you are not allowed to throw things on the three-acre land in front of my cinema. What if there is an accident?"

"You, Director Wang, want to establish Wan?"

"It's not Li Wan. I think that if you help too much when something happens here, it will affect the reputation of my cinema. I don't like the trouble of quarrels every now and then. So I took the initiative to call you over to discuss the business of this area."

When the old beggar heard this, a helpless expression appeared on his face. He turned around to look at Bang Geng, then smiled at Wang Gensheng.

"Hehe, it's good that it's not Li Wan. Don't tell me, my brother has the same opinion as me. I, an old beggar, don't like to see this situation either. But my children have to eat in the future. How can we discuss a solution that satisfies both sides? Director Wang, please give us a way."

It's good to have something to discuss, it's a good start. Wang Gensheng nodded slightly and took out a piece of paper he had written yesterday.

It contained the cinema's improvement plan. He flipped through it and handed it to the old beggar.

Banggeng hurriedly took two steps forward, took the paper, then turned around and handed it to the old beggar.

The old beggar looked at Wang Gensheng's neat handwriting. The strokes were strong, clear and not showing through the back of the paper. It was worthy of the word "good handwriting".

The paper said that the cinema had a limited area of ​​land and that Bang Geng and his gang were forbidden to cause trouble. However, the Beggars' Gang and the Clean Clothes Sect were allowed to set up a small cart at the entrance of the cinema to sell snacks such as peanuts, melon seeds, and popcorn.

Making a profit by selling snacks and begging, I think the profit should be no less than that from stealing here.

The most important thing is that there is a large flow of people in the cinema, and after two days, a certificate can be issued. This is a legitimate business and there is no need to worry about passing police patrols or other gangs of evil forces causing trouble.

Of course, in exchange, the disciples of the Jingyi Sect who came here to sell snacks were obliged to help drive away the disciples of the Daomen Sect who came to the cinema, so as to prevent them from coming to disrupt their business.

Look at Bang Geng again. Isn't it obvious that he is using the Beggar Gang's Clean Clothes Sect as a watchdog?
