Six Hundred and Ninety-Five. Inquire
Zhao Ming saw that his explanation didn't make sense, and he said helplessly: "Our boss is looking for you, it's up to you whether you can come in or not."
Hearing this, the man wanted to run away as if his parents had died, but after looking at the two people surrounding him, he could only follow them in with a sad face.
As soon as he came in, he felt something was wrong. There was not a group of burly men staring at him eagerly as he imagined, and there were no powerful weapons. Instead, a few people looked gentle and polite.
"Hello, brother, my name is Zheng Shan, nice to meet you." Zheng Shan greeted with a smile.
"Hello, my name is Luo Peng." Luo Peng said cautiously.
Although it was a little different from what he imagined, he was still extremely cautious, for fear that he would die somehow in the end.
Zheng Shan could see his nervousness, which was a little funny. Weren't you very arrogant just now? Why don't I even dare to speak loudly now?
Yang Zhibing had tried to persuade him several times just now, with good words, but perhaps it was precisely because of this that he gave Luo Peng some misunderstandings, so he became more and more courageous.
"Do we look like bad guys?" Zheng Shan said funny.
Luo Peng said quickly: "No, no, I'm just a little introverted, don't mind."
Zheng Shan:..........
You really mean it.
"Sit down and have a couple of drinks?" Zheng Shan gestured.
Luo Peng's eyes lit up, but he said a little cautiously: "No, I..."
"Sit down if I ask you to, no matter what you say." Zheng Kui said impatiently.
Seeing Zheng Kui's appearance, Luo Peng was so frightened that he immediately sat down, carefully picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Zheng Shan was helpless and didn't bother to say anything more to him. He asked directly: "Looking at you, you come here often to play on this road, and are you familiar with Lao Maozi's place?"
Luo Peng wanted to say that he was not familiar with it, but in the end he said honestly: "I can't say that I am familiar with it, I can only say that I have some understanding."
As he spoke, he was afraid that Zheng Shan and the others might misunderstand something, so he quickly said: "But if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask me, and I will definitely tell you everything I know."
Zheng Shan said: "Brother, don't be nervous, we are not bad people." Although he knew it might be useless, Zheng Shan still said it.
Then he said: "This is our first time going to Lao Maozi's place. Is there anything we need to pay attention to?"
"First time?" Luo Peng looked at Zheng Shan and the others.
Zheng Shan raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Doesn't it look like it?"
"No, no, no, no." Luo Peng said quickly, and then said carefully: "What do you mean by paying attention?"
"It's the current situation over there and the people and things that need attention over there." Zheng Shan said.
Luo Peng thought for a while and said: "I don't know much about it. It was actually fine before. Although we also ran here, most of us still relied on this to make a living.
You also know that the living conditions here were very good in the past few years. Many things can be sold for a lot of money when you take them back, but they are really cheap here. "
"But I don't know why. In the past two years, some things here have changed, and many things have become missing."
"For example, some daily necessities have been reduced a lot. Although they are not scarce, they are still much less than before."
Zheng Shan knows this well. In fact, Lao Maozi's side in the 1980s had always been pretty good, but it was also going downhill.
In the 1970s, many of Lao Maozi's indicators had reached the first place in the world. For example, the output of more than 20 industrial products such as oil, natural gas, steel, cement, and fertilizers surpassed the United States and ranked first in the world.
In the 1980s, Western countries were embarking on the third wave of technology in full swing, and they were experiencing many benefits, with growth in all aspects.
But Lao Maozi has stagnated and even started to regress, especially in the past two years, and it is visible to the naked eye that this situation is getting worse as time goes on.
“Even if we people are doing some buying and selling, there are many things produced in China now, and they are cheap, so the prices are much cheaper than here.
Even if we transport it here and sell it, it's still cheaper than here, and the prices of some things are still rising. "
"As for the person who needs attention, Boss Liao should be considered one."
Zheng Shan asked: "What is the name of this boss Liao? Is he called Liao Hai?"
Zheng Shan remembered that some people had said before that Liao Hai was doing well with Lao Maozi, but he was still the same as before, being too loyal and not so fair in doing things, so the bottom of his butt was not clean.
But also because of this, many people gathered around him, and he had a tendency to become bigger and bigger.
"I'm not sure. We are all called Boss Liao. As for the specific name, I don't know." Luo Peng said.
Then he told some more situations, and gradually he became less nervous. At the end, he began to tentatively ask about Zheng Shan's identity.
Zheng Shan smiled and said: "I am just an ordinary businessman. By the way, this is the consulting fee."
As he spoke, Zheng Shan stuffed some money into him, then picked up the tea and signaled that he could leave.
Luo Peng didn't want to leave at this time, so he continued to ask: "Brother, I know you look down on those like us, but don't underestimate us, our profits are actually quite a lot."
"And if you, brother, can provide me with such a carriage, not to mention anything else, I can give you this number every time."
He said raising a finger.
"Ten thousand yuan?" This is what Zheng Kui asked.
"No, no, no, one hundred thousand at a time, brother, one hundred thousand, you only need to provide the carriage, and you don't need to take care of the rest. How about it? Do you want to do it?" Luo Peng said excitedly.
Zheng Shan looked at him speechlessly. Is this guy thinking about himself?
"Forget it, I don't have that much ability, please, brother." Of course Zheng Shan was not interested in this.
Luo Peng was not selfish and wanted to say more, but when he saw Zhao Ming coming to him and picking up three large packages for him, and several people looking at him eagerly, he did not dare to say more and rushed to get them. Got his package and left.
But before leaving, he still shouted, "Brother, if you change your mind, you must tell me."
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Ming couldn't help scolding him.
Luo Peng didn't care at all. He also saw that these people were really not the gangsters he imagined, so the tension in his heart naturally disappeared.
After Zheng Shan and others left, he looked at Zheng Kui and said, "I didn't expect Hao Wu to be doing well now."
Just now, Luo Peng mentioned someone familiar to Zheng Shan, that is, Hao Wu. This guy has established a firm foothold here. He is doing well and has a good reputation. This makes Zheng Shan a little surprised and a little happy. .
