(1) Hummer


    then, I took a cigarette from Erzi, and Xiao Wu was busy lighting it for me: "come on, brother Yi, I''ll light a cigarette for you. I haven''t seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."


    I took two puffs and looked at them: "when did you come back?"


    "I''ve just come back!" Second son said.


    "Flying back?" I asked.


    "Yes Xiao Wu said.


    "Well How did this Hummer come from? " I said, "it''s like a new car..."


    Old Qin laughed: "this car is just got, someone sent it."


    I was stunned: "Oh Who sent it? "


    "Brother Yi, you can''t imagine who sent it? Guess Er Zi said with a smile.


    I thought, "did wood give it to boss Li?"


    "No! He is the boss of boss Li. Only boss Li gives him the share. How can he give it to boss Li? " Xiao Wu said.


    "Who sent that?" I really can''t think of anyone who would send such an expensive thing to Li Shun.


    "It''s white third!" Lao Qin said calmly.


    "What? White old three I was surprised: "Bai Laosan gave boss Li a Hummer? This Is that true? "


    "It''s true. As soon as we got off the plane, we received Bai Laosan''s Hummer. After all the formalities were completed, we arrived directly." Xiao Wu said.


    I looked at Lao Qin and said, "Lao Qin, what''s the matter?"


    Lao Qin took a puff of his cigarette and looked calm: "I don''t know. Bai Laosan was sent by a platoon. He only said that it was a gift from him to boss Li. Boss Li was very surprised at the beginning. He directly talked to Bai Laosan on the phone. He didn''t hear what he said on the phone, but after that, Li Laoban came out and waved his hand, saying that since Bai Laosan was filial, he would take it away."


    "Oh..." I feel very puzzled in my heart. There is a big mystery. Bai Laosan gives Li Shun a gift. It''s obvious that it''s the weasel who pays new year''s greetings to the chicken.


    I don''t think Li Shun is so stupid. He thinks that Bai Laosan will give up his secret fight with him when he becomes a Buddha. Bai Laosan must have his plan to send Li Shun as a Hummer. As for what the plan is, I don''t know, and Li Shun may not know.


    "Boss Li said that no matter what Bai Laosan''s thoughts are, we don''t have any grudge against Hummer anyway. As for Bai Laosan, we are soldiers who will block him. We will not change everything. Let''s see what foreign news he can stir up." Erzi said with indifference.


    I looked at Lao Qin. Lao Qin didn''t speak, but there was a little worry in his eyes. It seemed that Lao Qin was suspicious of the Hummer, but he couldn''t think of Bai Laosan''s heart.


    "Maybe Bai Laosan really wanted to make friends with boss Li. In order to show his sincerity, he gave boss Li a good car." Xiaowu said: "after all, Bai Laosan has been fighting with us for such a long time and has not taken advantage of us. Moreover, Bai Laosan has only been in Xinghai for several years, and boss Li has only been in Xinghai for many years? He is far worse than boss Li It seems that Bai Laosan understood this time and learned well. "


    I don''t agree with Xiao Wu''s words. I don''t believe Bai Laosan will really make friends with Li Shun. He always wants to kill Li Shun.


    I don''t want to talk more about this topic. Taking advantage of Erzi''s opportunity to answer the phone and Xiaowu''s opportunity to buy cigarettes, I asked Lao Qin, "how''s the situation in ningzhou recently?"


    Lao Qin said: "the three pillar industries of casinos, porn and pawnshops are blooming in full swing. They are booming. On the other side of casinos, baccarat is still popular. Because of its high security, the number of customers is constantly expanding, and there are a lot of repeat customers. Two platforms have been added, almost doubling the scale. Most of the customers come from private entrepreneurs along the southeast coast, as well as some government officials


    "In the porn industry, almost all the three-star hotels in ningzhou have entered. They have also set up a private senior club, which adopts the membership system to provide senior private porn services for the rich. Usually, there are special people to pick up and see off the young ladies. The sources of the young ladies are diversified, not only domestic, but also some Russian


    "Pawnshops listed in the name of pawnshops actually carry out professional usury business, not only in casinos, but also for small and medium-sized enterprises in the society. Housing loan funds mainly come from the income of casinos and pornographic industry, and then feed back casinos to expand the scale. These three forms a chain link, one link after another, inseparable, because there are specialized banks The basic recovery rate of debt collection is 100%


    "Of course, the success of the three is closely related to the relationship between boss Li and the top public security officials in the city. Boss Li revealed that about 30% of the profits of the three pillars should be paid homage to the big figures in the public security department. Otherwise, these three businesses will not be so successful in ningzhou. "


    After listening to Lao Qin''s brief introduction, I frowned: "this method is too presumptuous. We should pay attention to stop it moderately. If we do it too badly, something will happen."


    Lao Qin''s face showed a worried expression: "I have gently advised boss Li in private, but now boss Li seems to be dazzled by the victory and plain sailing, and can''t listen to the honest advice. He is very unhappy to listen to my words. He says that I am old and too timid. He says that now is to seize the opportunity, emancipate the mind, update the concept, and take the pace of development Hurry up, be more open-minded, don''t be bogged down for fear of making mistakes, and have the courage of reformers and entrepreneurs. "This is in line with Li Shun''s style. I absolutely believe it''s Li Shun''s words.


    After listening to this, I feel that Li Shun''s behavior and mentality are hysterical and unscrupulous. I think it is most likely related to his drug use, which damages his brain and makes him lose his normal thinking. Under the stimulation of drugs and money, Li Shun is becoming more and more crazy day by day.


    I''m a little worried


    "That What''s the latest situation of Duan Xianglong? " I asked Lao Qin.


    At this moment, Erzi finished the phone call, and Xiaowu came back to buy cigarettes. However, they did not come here. Instead, they were chatting while smoking. It seemed that they did not want to disturb the private chat between Lao Qin and me.


    Lao Qin took a look at Erzi and Xiaowu, and then said to me, "Duan Xianglong and boss Li have become strategic partners now. Duan Xianglong has contributed to the growth of the casinos. He has brought in a steady stream of bosses. Up to now, there are nearly 20. These more than 20 bosses have become the backbone of the development and growth of the casinos, and more than 10 of them have fallen in, nearly 5 million


    "In order to reward Duan Xianglong and encourage him to pull people''s enthusiasm, boss Li gave Duan Xianglong 30% shares in one of the platforms On the surface, boss Li and Duan Xianglong get on well with each other. They often go out to drink, sing and bathe together. It seems that they have really become partners. Duan Xianglong not only keeps in touch with boss Li, but also takes advantage of boss Li''s going out. In private, he often asks Erzi and Xiaowu to go out to play together. They are close to each other. He also asks me out several times, but I didn''t go. "


    Lao Qin''s words attracted my attention.


    Thinking of Duan Xianglong''s appearance in Xinghai a few days ago, I can''t help but be on high alert.


    Duan Xianglong is not only a simple minded gambler, he is a shrewd businessman. Since he is a businessman, his purpose is money. As long as he can earn money, Duan Xianglong does not talk about moral principles. He can do anything. My bankruptcy is a living example.


    "I told boss Li about it twice, but he didn''t think much of it. It seems that Duan Xianglong in his eyes is just a glutton. He doesn''t have to pay much attention to it." "I don''t know if boss Li really didn''t care or said that on purpose," said Lao Qin


    "Oh..." I nodded: "maybe boss Li is deliberately paralyzing Duan Xianglong." When I say this, I don''t have the bottom of my heart. Li Shun''s drug addictive personality is capricious, and no one can guess his real mind.


    "In fact, boss Li is very suspicious of people. He doesn''t trust anyone around him, except two sons, five and me, and you. Of course, among the four of us, according to his usual words and deeds, he trusts you most, almost 100% I appreciate you most... " Lao Qin said.


    Lao Qin''s words partly verified my judgment. I''m not proud of the 100% trust of Li Shun. I know that Li Shun doesn''t trust me 100% and he still has some skills, but Lao Qin doesn''t know.


    Otherwise, he won''t take my family to coerce me.


    "Does boss Li know my relationship with Duan Xianglong?" I said.


    I know that once Li Shun knows about my relationship with Duan Xianglong, then he will have all my contacts in ningzhou.


    "I don''t know." Lao Qin said.


    "Does Duan Xianglong know my relationship with you?" I asked Lao Qin again.


    Lao Qin hesitated for a moment: "at present, I can''t see the trace that he knows. He certainly won''t know from boss Li and me. However, he often has intimate relations with ER Zi and Xiao Wu. I''m afraid that Er Zi and Xiao Wu will be drunk by him. If they fail to speak after drinking, maybe they will be told something after drinking."


    Lao Qin''s words added to my worry. I didn''t say much, just nodded.


    "Brother, don''t worry about anything. In case there is any bad news for you, I will communicate with you in time." Lao Qin saw my worry, reached out and patted me on the shoulder and laughed.


    I also laughed. Lao Qin''s words calmed my heart a lot. After all, Lao Qin is a man who has experienced the blood in the river and lake. He has too much experience.


    At this time, I saw Haizhu looking at us from the newsstand. It seemed that she was in a hurry. So, I and the old Qin Erzi Xiaowu left and went directly to find Haizhu.


    "I''m in a hurry, ha ha..." I said to Haizhu.


    "Ha ha, you and your friends talk a lot," Haizhu took my arm: "brother, let''s go back."


    "All right!" Together with Haizhu, I temporarily take back the thought of talking with Lao Qin just now. I don''t want to think about that any more. I put my energy on Haizhu.


    On the way back, Haizhu didn''t speak much and seemed to be thinking about something.


    I don''t think about the conversation with Lao Qin, but I began to think about what Haizhu had just said in Qiutong''s office.


    I don''t know whether Haizhu''s words were casual or purposeful before I left Qiutong''s office today. They were aimless or purposeful. If they were purposeful, were they reminding me or reminding Qiutong? Or both?Almost to the dormitory, Haizhu is still thinking about things, I can''t help it, said to Haizhu: "a Zhu, what are you thinking?"


    Haizhu looked at me and asked me: "brother, you don''t say a word all the way, what are you thinking?"


    I laughed: "I''m thinking about you. What are you thinking about?"


    Haizhu also laughed: "ha ha Cunning brother, are you really thinking of me? "


    I said, "ang."


    Haizhu said: "then you hold me..."


    I look around no one, open arms, said Haizhu in his arms, kiss her forehead, and then release.


    Haizhu stroked her hair and looked at me with a smile: "brother, do you know what I was thinking just now?"


    I said, "I don''t know. Do I ask you if I know? Nonsense


    Haizhu tilted his head: "do you want to know?"


    I said, "yes!"


    Haizhu said, "I''m thinking about what sister Qiu just said about Xiao Zhu''s going to study abroad."


    I said, "why, do you want to study abroad?"


    Haizhu chuckled: "do you think I have that ability? Besides, even if there is, can I leave you? I''m not willing to leave you and go out by myself? "


    Haizhu''s words made my heart warm. I said, "what do you think is the reason for this?"


    Haizhu said: "I''m thinking, if Xiao Zhu goes abroad, what will her travel company do? Is it off? "


    Haizhu''s words made me suddenly move in my heart. This matter just touched my mind in Qiutong office. I looked at Haizhu and laughed: "a Zhu, I think Xiaozhu will have his own plan for this matter. We don''t have to worry about it."


    Haizhu said: "well, piggy is also our good friend. Since she is a good friend, she has to share the difficulties for her. I don''t need to think about it, but I can''t help myself I can''t help thinking. "


    During the conversation, we have entered the dormitory.


    Close the door, sit on the sofa, looking at Haizhu, my mind suddenly came up with an idea


    I suddenly realized: for Haizhu, who is currently in the struggle stage, the opportunity has come.


    Opportunity is like a thief who doesn''t know when he comes, but when he leaves, he knows that he has suffered a lot. Those who can''t see opportunities are stupid; those who can''t grasp them are mediocre; those who can''t meet them are sinners. It''s hard to buy a thousand gold. I knew earlier that it''s hard to buy a regret medicine.


    There are three regrets in life: one is not learning when meeting a good teacher; the other is not making friends when meeting a good friend; the third is not seizing a good opportunity. Controlling money is the worst policy, grasping ability is the best policy, and grasping is the best policy.


    I looked straight at Haizhu, my mind hovering


    Haizhu looked at me and sat beside me: "brother, what''s the matter with you? What are you thinking? "


    Haizhu''s words awakened me from my meditation. I turned my head, looked at Haizhu, and held her hand: "Zhu, do you realize, do you feel, now, there is a good opportunity in front of you."


    Haizhu looked at me with wide eyes: "opportunity?"


    "Yes, opportunity, or opportunity!" I clenched Haizhu''s hand and nodded: "Zhu, I ask you first, why did you resign?"


    "Because I want to achieve my own value through my own post!" Haizhu answered without hesitation.


    "Well said, I like your fighting spirit. We are young, and we still need to struggle. We have to struggle endlessly all our lives." I nodded: "however, do you realize that if you want to succeed in the process of your struggle, you need not only the spirit of struggle, but also a more important thing, that is opportunity!"


    "Opportunity?" Haizhu repeated, then nodded, his eyes a little confused: "Oh Opportunity. "


    "Yes, opportunity!" I said, "every life''s opportunity is different, and every life''s life is different. Some are poor, some are rich. Opportunity can change life La rochefoucault, a famous French writer, said: no matter how people boast about their great actions, they are often the product of opportunities rather than the result of a great intention Thackeray, a famous British writer, also said: in life, there are always some fragments that seem unimportant at that time, but actually affect the overall situation That''s how important opportunity is to life. "


    Haizhu is still a little confused: "brother Listen to you, is opportunity more important than strength? More important than effort? I admit that opportunity is very important, but I always feel that if a person wants to succeed, he or she should strive hard. The most important thing is to strive with strength. "


    I laughed: "well, from my practical experience, my experience is that opportunity is more important than strength. As for struggle, I think opportunity and struggle are complementary."


    Haizhu said, "I don''t understand you."


    I further elaborated: "a Zhu, if a person just makes meaningless efforts without any opportunities, he is also a failure. If you don''t have the chance to show, you can only be a very ordinary person in your life. Why do I say opportunity is more important than strength? If you think about it, there is no chance, no chance to show your strength, and no possibility of success. Without opportunities, even if you have the strength, it is difficult to succeed."Opportunity is the showcase of strength. Opportunity is the last and most critical step to success. In addition to his own talent, Zhuge Liang is more important because he has seized the opportunity offered by Liu Bei


    "Why did Bill Gates achieve what he is today? He just seized the opportunity to join IBM. Otherwise, he would be just a net worm


    "As the saying goes, the key to success or failure in life lies in the success or failure of opportunities. The difference between winners and losers is whether they can seize the opportunity. The so-called gentleman moves at the right time, the hero arises at the historic moment; those who run fast may not win, and those who fight hard may not win. "


    Haizhu nodded: "well..."


    I continued: "just now you mentioned the issue of struggle and opportunity. Yes, struggle is a constant topic. When opportunity comes, it needs struggle. When opportunity goes, it needs struggle even more. A person who does not get opportunities will not change the status quo because he does not fight, and a person who gets opportunities will not live better than those who fight because he does not fight. "


    Haizhu nodded: "so, you say that struggle and opportunity are complementary However, what if one does not get the opportunity in the struggle? "


    I said: "it''s very simple to create your own opportunities with your own efforts. Since Bole doesn''t have it, we''ll do it ourselves. When we have enough skills and knowledge, we can create our own opportunities In the final analysis, without struggle, there will be no opportunity. Without opportunity, we have to struggle even more. Of course, whether there are opportunities or not depends on whether you will grasp them. That''s the most important thing


    "So, how to seize the opportunity? The simplest way is to judge whether there is a new situation, because if there is a new situation, there will be a new opportunity! We should be conscientious in our life, observe the changes of the situation and welcome the opportunities with smile. "


    "New situation." Haizhu murmured and looked at me, her eyes suddenly brightened: "brother, I understand what you just said, you mean..."


    Haizhu said, suddenly excited, holding my hand and shaking it twice.


    I nodded at Haizhu with a smile: "girl, you know."


    "Yes, brother, I see." Haizhu said to me with a smile: "brother, I understand what opportunities you said I see Xiao Zhu wants to study abroad, so how to deal with her travel company is a problem. For Xiao Zhu, it''s a problem, but for me, it''s an opportunity, because Xiao Zhu wants to go abroad, which is the opportunity brought by the new situation. "


    I laughed: "yes, Xiao Zhu will deal with the aftermath before going abroad. If she wants to go abroad for further study, the company will not open any more. It''s no good for her to close down or transfer. She can''t get any benefits. Transfer is the best way. Not only can the company continue to open, but also she can get a transfer Let fee, this fee, enough to support her studies Piggy is a smart person, she will naturally know how to choose Isn''t this the best opportunity for us? "


    Haizhu''s eyes glowed: "yes, brother, it''s a good opportunity. Ah - opportunity is really important."


    I held Haizhu in my arms and stroked her hair: "ah Zhu, for you at present, the importance of opportunity is like the fuse of a war. As long as the wire is ignited, it will be out of control naturally. However, on the contrary, a war, from its fuse is lit to the end, is always doomed, but the opportunity is not like this


    "You may fly to the clouds and fall to death because of an opportunity, or you may fly to the clouds because of an opportunity, just as Lao Tzu said: misfortune is the source of happiness, and happiness is the source of misfortune. So, Zhu, when the opportunity comes, first, calm down, second, seize it. Of course, in any case, opportunities will change you, even your life. "


    A Zhu listened carefully and suddenly raised his head: "Hey, brother, do you think Xiao Zhu will be willing to transfer the travel company to us? What''s more, if she is willing to transfer it to us, where can we get so much money to pay for the transfer? "


    I said: "when the opportunity comes, we should not only seize it, but also make efforts. Whether Xiao Zhu is willing to transfer it to us or not requires our efforts and communication with Xiao Zhu There is no pie in the sky. We can''t rely on God''s reward for everything. God has given us this opportunity, which has been a great gift to us As for the money, well, let me see. "


    Haizhu tilted her head and thought: "I have little savings in my hand. Otherwise, brother, in this way, I can borrow some from brother Haifeng, or I can go home and rub some with my parents."


    I pondered, shaking my head: "no No need to I don''t think so. "


    "Then..." Haizhu looks at me.


    I have made up my mind at this time. Now I have 1.5 million yuan in my hand. Half a million yuan is given to me by Li Shun, and one million yuan is given to me by Li Shun.


    Donger began to confiscate the 500000 yuan, but it didn''t move. He thought it was the 20000 yuan given to me by my parents and left it to me intact.


    I haven''t touched the million. I never intend to take the 1.5 million as my own. One day, I will give back a lot to Li Shun.However, at present, it is not suitable to return it to Li Shun. It can only be put here first. Now that the money is in my hands, it seems that I can use it to play a role at present. First borrow it and then fill it in.


    Of course, the transfer fee of Xiaozhu travel company is far from enough, as long as a small part of it is enough.


    Thinking of this, I said to Haizhu, "you don''t have to worry about the money. I have a way. Now I have a part of the fund in my hand. The transfer fee paid to Xiao Zhu is more than enough."


    Haizhu looked at me unexpectedly: "ah Brother, where did you get so much money? "
