During the transition from July to August, a lot of things happened one after another.

From the moment Cui Yingjie was imprisoned, Cui Rulong went abroad, Cui Ying and I did not come back after a brief call, and all the properties belonging to the Cui family were sealed up, but Qiao Donglin and I After talking about these things, I know that this is just a temporary stopgap measure to stabilize the situation. When the seizure order is lifted soon, many people will want to bite a piece of unowned meat from it!

As for the real benefit after Cui Yingjie's death, it seems that it is only me and Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng obtained the ownership of the bar and the Pearl Hotel in Zhonghai City as he wished, and I obtained some properties in Hangzhou under the name of Cui Rulong in advance through a legitimate transaction. Qiao Donglin and I discussed that, Now it is at the cusp of the storm, and it must be silently digested and transitioned before it can truly gain a firm foothold in Hangzhou!

But when I got the news today, I saw a fishmonger in the hospital whose head was bandaged like a dumpling. Hearing their family crying and complaining, I was also very angry at the time, so I immediately asked Zhang Junhao at the farmers market. , but after asking this round, I was a little stunned——

It's not just the fishmongers, some vegetable peddlers have already paid the rent for three years when Cui Rulong handed over the farmers' market. This is not the main problem, because if the rent is paid, someone will breach the contract or what? , these dealers are not easy to mess with, they can go to the farmers market!

But the problem is that Cui Rulong has been neglecting management for the past few months. When he learned that the venue was going to be transferred out, some people under Cui Rulong's hands, relying on the official seal and rights in their hands, quietly went outside to find some people to sign. The lease contract for admission to occupy the booth means that another group of people also paid!

This is the second batch. It is said that the farmers market is going up and down, and they need to pay some miscellaneous health fees and so on. They have also charged a lot of money. Before the fight between the fishmongers today, the conflict actually existed. It just exploded today!

A vendor said indignantly: "If I do business in this place, it's like I've paid the money to occupy a fair seat, and there is a business rusher running next to him. He said that he also paid the money, and he couldn't drive him away. The other party simply started a price war on the side. Those of us are from other places, and the cost of getting goods and vegetables is higher than their local ones, and those from Chaobei, who have monopolized the business of selling fish, are not allowed to We do...you say...is there any reason for this?"

I carefully pulled this person out and asked, "The Chaobei people you mentioned, are they good people or bad people?"

The vegetable vendor named He Yuan said with a wry smile: "Chaobei is a collective name for a group of people who specialize in fishmongering business in Hangcheng. Although these people are not underworld, they do business with gangs and bully them. We retail investors are commonly used things..."

"Is there such a thing?" I frowned suddenly.

He Yuan complained bitterly with a frowning face: "Yes, boss, it's not just these people from Chaobei, but also those from East Fujian who monopolize fresh food, and the vegetable vendors are all local Hangcheng Gang leaders. Dealing with local vegetable farmers, buying most of the vegetables, and threatening those vegetable farmers to wholesale to us at a higher vegetable price, and then we pay more than them for booth fees and sanitation fees. It's because we do more, these people are bullying others, and the business can't be done..."

"Where are you from?" I asked, frowning.

"My hometown in Zhengxi, I have been in the vegetable business in Hangzhou for eleven years. It is the most difficult business to do in the past few years!" He Yuan sighed indignantly, "I used to be able to make a profit every year. Three to five thousand a year, I also have face when I go home. A few years ago, I brought several fellow villagers here to sell vegetables. I can’t think of how many years have passed. Now everything has gone up in price, but I can only earn thirty to fifty thousand a year. I work hard and earn 30,000 to 50,000 yuan a year. What do you think I can buy? The house prices are so high that I have worked hard for more than ten years and saved more than 200,000 yuan. Both sons graduated from college. Now... I saved money to buy a house, but now I can't even buy a fart, my second son still needs money to go to high school, alas..."

Amidst the constant complaints from the other side, I gradually learned about the inside story of some farmers' markets.

After all, that guy Cui Rulong is not that honest. He paid some attention and left a mess for me. The three-year rent of the farmers' market has been collected by this bastard, so I want these two farmers' markets to be used for shit? And at this juncture, if things continue to escalate, I am afraid that if they are involved, things will become more and more troublesome!

After I asked carefully, I almost understood which group of people had monopolized most of the market in the farmers market, and then I asked when those people would appear and who was the most talkative person among them. Only then did the merchants in the farmers market go back to the hospital...

I visited the beaten fishmonger with a fruit flower basket, and then gave a promise after comforting. Before dark, I finally dragged my exhausted body back to the hospital!

"Fuck!" I gritted my teeth and slammed a fist on the armrest of the chair, scolding angrily, "That **** Cui Rulong has made all the money he deserves, and left a mess for me, I said what did he do? He is so kind to give me so much property, he is just as cunning and cunning as that old man Cui Yingjie... er... just like his dead old man!"

After listening to the whole thing, Han Yun also sighed a little resentfully: "Yeah, this guy's abacus is too shrewd, he gave you the game, and all the trouble was thrown to you, the purpose may be to make You are being dragged by the trouble, and by the way, divert everyone's attention, wait for him to stay abroad for a few years, maybe he will come back!"

"He thinks beautifully!" I gritted my teeth and sneered, and called Qiao Donglin to come over for dinner, but Qiao Donglin said that dinner was already prepared at home, and also said that Qiao Baolong invited me and Han Yun to have dinner together.

I asked Han Yun for her opinion, but she was very happy to go out with me to meet people, so we had to drive to Qiao's house in Chengdong for dinner. After the meal, Han Yun accompanied Qiao Donglin's mother to clean up the mess. , Qiao Baolong led me and Qiao Donglin to the chess hall!

I played with Qiao Donglin, and he watched!

I was defeated by Qiao Donglin before half an hour, so I had to give up my son and admit defeat!

But what I didn't expect was that Qiao Baolong smiled at me with satisfaction and said, "Not bad, your chess skills have made great progress in the past few months, and Donglin's chess skills have reached a point where it is difficult to move forward. It’s one step, but you rarely practice chess, and there are so many changes in chess, it can be seen that you have experienced trickery in reality and then used it in chess, not bad!”

I wanted to cry without tears: "You still praise me for losing so badly?"

Qiao Baolong smiled lightly with a teacup in his hand: "Winning or losing is not temporary. Don't look at your loss now, but after a long time, you may also win!"

"Uh..." I immediately reacted, realizing what Qiao Baolong meant, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Do you know about the farmers' market, Uncle Long?"

"All kinds of people from three religions and nine classes, you have only really come into contact with them now. Haven't you always been curious about how you can truly establish a foothold in Hangzhou?" Qiao Baolong stared at me and smiled meaningfully, "Wait until you get to know this city slowly. People in every industry in the industry and all kinds of intertwined forces, you are really a corner, and now it's almost a fire, but at least you have been on stage and singing!"

"What do you mean?" My eyes widened.

"I mean, the farmers market seems to be an unremarkable industry, but there are two places that can understand the depths of the rivers and lakes best, one is the migrant workers, and the other is the vegetable market, where the migrant workers form their own small gangs. Xiaopai, there are big rivers and lakes hidden in the vegetable market..." Qiao Baolong said with a smile, "For example, I sell fish here to make money for three or four years. In the vegetable market, fish sellers sell fish, and vegetable sellers sell vegetables, do you know the reason?"

I shook my head in bewilderment.

"The rules of the rivers and lakes!" Qiao Baolong took a sip of tea and said, "The vegetable market has the rules of the rivers and lakes of the vegetable market. For people in a city to live, the first thing is that the people take food as their priority, from hotels and restaurants to a family. If you don’t grow vegetables, you need to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. People can go to the supermarket for a day without going to the supermarket, but it is very difficult not to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and rice. Therefore, the most mobile thing in this city is not the station, but the station. It is a vegetable market, there is an old saying that is absolutely true, where there are people - there are rivers and lakes!"
