80. Where the sun can't reach
Luo Xiu came back from 2020. At that time, there were rent collectors everywhere in Yangcheng wearing slippers, big pants and white vests, and carrying a bunch of keys.
These billionaires just strolled around the streets casually without any bodyguards following them, and they were not afraid of being kidnapped.
Because everyone knows that there are cameras all over China at this time, kidnapping is meaningless, and you can't get money.
From 09 to 20, it didn't seem to take long, so that Luo Xiu often felt that he was still in 20 years.
Before the "Crackdown on Crime and Evil" campaign, there will always be some "business" growing in the shadow where the sun cannot shine.
For example, in the small town where Luo Xiu is located, the long-distance bus business is monopolized by a boss with a gangster background.
The ticket price is twice that of other places, so passengers can only grit their teeth and accept it.
Not long after, a foreign boss saw that there were few cars and many people in this place, and the market demand was huge, so he bought a few cars.
As a result, the car was smashed and the driver was beaten.
Later I heard that when the boss left the bus, there were a few seats that were not for sale to the public and were reserved for the thugs.
After a few fights, the foreign boss walked away in despair.
This incident happened in the richest province in the country, and it is also a relatively civilized city in the province.
And in those relatively backward areas, there are countless indescribable events that are a hundred times darker than this.
People who do not see these things are happy, they feel that they live in a world without crime.
They don’t know that in 2009, the number of criminal cases filed nationwide was 5.3 million. It was 5.3 million, not 5.30. It was a significant increase from 2008, and it was the first increase since 2000.
Investigations show that half of the gang-related organizations own legitimate businesses.
On the surface, they are doing legitimate business, but secretly they use threats of violence to intimidate competitors.
Luo Xiu, who came back in 2020, experienced personal safety being threatened, and suddenly discovered that in the past ten years, our country has not only experienced rapid economic growth, but also many things have changed.
Now he has to let his way of thinking go back to 2009 and use the 2009 method to solve the current dilemma.
The express delivery industry is somewhat similar to the ancient escort agency.
If you want to open an escort agency and ensure the safety of your goods, you can't do it without a group of thugs.
Before 2009, express delivery was an illegal business.
Just like tobacco, it can only be franchised by the state. In other words, except for the postal service, other express delivery companies are illegal.
It was not until after 2009 that a new policy was introduced, so we dared to add the word "Express" to the company name.
Before this, many franchisees of these express delivery companies were composed of gangsters.
Their truck was speeding at high speed and was chased and blocked by a combination of police cars and postal vehicles.
They dare not get out of the car during the day, and only dare to sneak out the goods at night, so that many people think they are a group of thieves.
They were just making some illegal money.
Now they spent a lot of money to get the right to operate this area. As a result, the largest customer in this area ran away, handed the goods to other areas, and took other customers with him.
So they took some drastic measures, stopped Luo Xiu outside the school, and brought Luo Xiu here to intimidate and threaten him. It seemed that it was not incomprehensible.
Now that they didn't have a fight before talking, I'm afraid it's because they want to clear their names and go ashore, and they are trying to exercise restraint.
Luo Xiu estimated that they wanted to scare him and then let him go.
They will not harm you directly, but they will cause some damage to you every three days, so that if you want to do business safely, you can only cooperate with them.
Thinking of this, Luo Xiu felt that the only thing he could do was not to anger them, and then he hoped that Lao Zhang would be smarter and call the police as soon as possible!
In the past, when the computer was smashed, Luo Xiu would directly call the police instead of going to class and calling a group of classmates to fight with them.
This is what a civilized society should do.
Now he can only call Lao Zhang, hoping that Lao Zhang will call the police! Call the police! Call the police! Don’t be impulsive! Don’t be impulsive! Don’t be impulsive!
…
But Zhang Jiarong was still impulsive.
He put down the phone and said to his nephew beside him: "Brother Luo Xiu, something may have happened. Call all the brothers over."
The nephew didn't ask any questions and immediately ran out to call someone.
Zhang Jiarong paced back and forth in the room, thinking about how to solve this matter.
After the management rights of the University Town area were taken away, he thought he was going to have trouble with the northwest wind, but Luo Xiu showed him a clear path.
Now, in addition to delivering Luo Xiu's goods, he has also negotiated with several large e-commerce companies.
This gives him the capital to negotiate prices directly with the headquarters of the express delivery company.
In the future, we plan to establish warehouses in multiple regions across the country to reduce cross-regional cargo deployment.
It can be said that overnight, he changed from the owner of an ordinary express delivery site to a business owner with unlimited potential.
Originally there were only three people under his command, but now he has brought over a dozen from his hometown.
People in his hometown say that Zhang Jiarong made a fortune in Yangcheng and did big business.
But he himself will never forget that these big businesses came from that college student named Luo Xiu.
This group of brothers from my hometown are more or less related to each other.
They are all from the same village and the same ancestral hall.
Before coming to work in Yangcheng, they guarded the few acres of farmland at home and often fought with the neighboring village over water supplies.
They don't have much culture, but there is one truth engraved in their genes, and that is unity.
Now that Zhang Jiarong gave the order, they didn't think much about it, they just knew that they couldn't be bullied.
So they all dropped what they were doing, picked up their belongings, climbed into the truck, and followed Zhang Jiarong to rescue people.
…
Bang!
The iron door was pushed open with force.
Zhang Jiarong stood alone at the door, with the setting sun shining on his back, casting a long shadow.
It's like the hero in the movie who braves the dragon's den and the tiger's den alone.
Luo Xiu glanced at him and couldn't help but cover his face with his hands.
I really didn't see it.
What are you doing here by yourself?
Don’t you know what kind of environment this is?
Do you think you are Ip Man from the next city and can beat ten?
Naturally, Zhang Jiarong couldn't hear Luo Xiu's inner complaints, but walked straight over, pointed at Luo Xiu and said to Wang Yucheng: "I stole your business, and I will replace him."
"He is a man, but if you want to replace him, he is not qualified."
After hearing this, Luo Xiu was so embarrassed that he dug his toes on the ground.
What kind of dialogue is this? Are you making a Hong Kong movie?
Zhang Jiarong clapped his hands, and a group of strong young men holding weapons rushed in behind him and surrounded them.
Wang Yucheng's expression suddenly changed.
He took away the business in this area from Zhang Jiarong, so he naturally knew Zhang Jiarong. On the one hand, he bullied him as an outsider, and on the other hand, he only had two or three people under him.
Unexpectedly, a dozen people suddenly appeared, twice as many as him.
"Are you qualified to talk now?" Zhang Jiarong asked.
"This world does not rely on large numbers of people. If you break the rules first, you will be punished." Wang Yucheng continued to speak harshly.
"If he breaks any rules, tell me."
A middle-aged man wearing a black suit walked in from the door.
When Wang Yucheng saw the person coming, his eyes lit up and his chest straightened a little.
…

(PS: When I woke up in the morning, I saw a lot of bad reviews on the previous chapter. Some said that the villain was too stupid, and some said that the protagonist was too stupid. They said that no one would do such a thing.
I envy you all, you all live under the sun.
When I returned to my hometown a few years ago, I saw with my own eyes more than a dozen motorcycles whizzing by on the street in broad daylight. The people sitting on the back were carrying steel pipes or unknown weapons wrapped in newspapers. Even though I knew they were not attacking
He asked me to come, but at that moment my feet still felt weak.
Nowadays, the social environment is getting better and better, and there are fewer and fewer dark places. But today's times are quiet and peaceful, but there are people who carry the burden for us. Thank them!
But even today, crime has not disappeared. In 2009, there were 5.3 million criminal cases nationwide, but this dropped to 1.4 million in 2019, with the national average number of criminal cases per 10,000 people being 13.
In comparison, the case written in the article is just a very, very, very ordinary case. It may be a bit stupid, but there are many such stupid people in the world. If everyone is rational, there will be no crime.
Chapter completed!
