Chapter 568 Operation to Remove Luo Shibin Begins
He was happy in his heart, but Zhou Chen still had a cold and impatient expression on the surface.
"The water flows by itself. Didn't I tell you that I have no interest in trading with you anymore? Don't you understand? Or do you think I'm easy to bully and want to be tough?"
To be honest, Zhou Chen wished that Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin would be tough so that he could carry out legitimate defense and not expect to kill the other party, but he would definitely make them suffer and leave some sequelae.
The water flowed calmly, and this guy didn't look like a second-rate kid wandering around in the world at all. If it weren't for his lameness, he would look more like a young man, which was in sharp contrast to Luo Shibin next to him.
"Brother Zhou, you misunderstood. How could we do that kind of thing? I came to see you today, brother, and I still want to talk to you. Having more friends is more of a way, don't you think?"
Zhou Chen said coldly: "It depends on what kind of friend you are. Some friends can provide you with an extra path, and some friends may be harmful to others."
"Zhou Bingkun, don't go too far. I, Brother Shui, think highly of you, so I come to you again and again. Do you really think of yourself as a person?"
Luo Shibin always felt unhappy with Zhou Chen. When he saw Zhou Chen's disgusting tone and arrogant attitude, he pointed angrily at Zhou Chen and shouted.
Zhou Chen looked at him coldly: "Why, you still want to fight with me? Your finger was healed last time?"
Luo Shibin's face darkened, and his already healed finger started to hurt again. He was so angry that he was about to curse.
"Binzi."
Shui Ziliu stopped Luo Shibin and continued to say to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Bingkun, we sincerely come to you to discuss business. I hope you don't misunderstand and think about it carefully. Although people like us can't get on the stage, we can leave some things to us. It will definitely save you a lot of effort."
Zhou Chen understood the implication of Shui Ziliu. He was not satisfied with doing the ticket scalping business with him, and wanted a deeper cooperation.
Shui Ziliu has really good vision and is very resilient. He is indeed a character.
It's a pity that they are destined to be on opposite sides, unless Shui Ziliu is willing to draw a line with Luo Shibin.
But unfortunately, judging from Shui Ziliu's friendship with Luo Shibin in the plot, this is probably difficult to achieve, and he doesn't have the patience to sow discord.
Zhou Chen changed the topic and said in a cold tone: "To be honest, I am too lazy to participate in such a small fight like yours. I have a stable job now, and I will be able to advance to another level soon. Do you think I Is it necessary to take the risk of ruining your future for this small amount of money?"
Shui Ziliu was a smart man. When he heard what Zhou Chen said, he immediately understood what Zhou Chen meant.
"Do you think we have too little supply?"
Zhou Chen said: "The votes you gave me last time were all very small. They are attractive to ordinary people, but for those with power, they will not care about them at all." In my eyes, even if I have the idea of giving gifts, I can’t get rid of those things you have.”
Luo Shibin showed dissatisfaction, but did not refute, and Shui Ziliu looked calm.
Zhou Chen is right. Their food stamps and meat stamps are basically collected from ordinary workers. They are all issued by factories and units. The number of kilograms on the receipt is very small. For poor people, It's attractive, but for rich people, they don't like it at all.
If Zhou Chen really wanted to give gifts to important leaders and give them away with a pound or two of food stamps, he would be embarrassing himself.
Only then did Shui Ziliu understand why Zhou Chen looked down on them and didn't want to continue trading with them. It turned out to be this reason.
Shui Ziliu gritted his teeth and said, "If we can get more and better tickets, are you willing to trade with us?"
Zhou Chen's eyes lit up and he said, "If you can get large-denomination tickets, or even good things like TV tickets and bicycle tickets, I can buy them at the black market price."
When Luo Shibin heard this, his eyes bulged out: "Are you dreaming? Who would sell such good things?"
Bicycle tickets are just that, but TV tickets are a legendary thing to them. No matter how powerful they are, they can't get that kind of thing.
Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "I just said casually, if you can't get it, forget it."
Shui Ziliu pondered for a moment and asked, "If we can get what you want, do you have enough money?"
Zhou Chen smiled: "You don't have to worry about this. The publishing house not only has a fixed salary, but there are many places where you can make money. Moreover, my father is an eighth-level worker. Over the years, my family has saved a lot of money, with a household worth ten thousand yuan." Of course it’s impossible, but for two to three thousand yuan, you can still get it by gritting your teeth.”
Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin's eyes turned red when they heard Zhou Chen said that he could offer two to three thousand yuan.
They have lived for so many years and have been in the ticket scalping business for so many years, but the money in their hands has never exceeded 500 yuan. Most of the time, a few dozen yuan is good.
Two to three thousand yuan is an unimaginable sum of money to them, how could they not be tempted.
"If you can help me get what I want, I will definitely give you the money, but if you don't have the ability, then don't come to me again in the future."
Luo Shibin looked at Shui Ziliu. Originally he didn't agree with doing business with Zhou Chen, but now that he knew Zhou Chen had so much money, his greed made him forget his previous unhappiness and only wanted to use Zhou Chen's money as his own. of.
Shui Ziliu asked: "How can we trust you? If we get something and you don't want it, won't we have to pay for it ourselves?"
Zhou Chen sneered: "Do you think I will delay my important affairs for this little money?"
"Okay, then, didn't you say you still have a batch of coupons on hand? You can bring them now, and I'll go back and get the money. This is a sign of sincerity for our next cooperation. How about that?"
Seeing the water flowing freely, Zhou Chen added some fire.
Of course he didn't have two or three thousand, but he still had a few hundred yuan. In addition to his salary, he also had expenses from creation over the years. Except for a part given to Zheng Juan, Li Suhua did not ask for his money later, so most of the money was Saved by him.
He still has several hundred dollars left to rent a house, buy furniture, get married, etc.
If he could get rid of Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin with a few hundred yuan, he wouldn't feel bad at all. As for the money, there would be many opportunities to make money in the future, so he didn't take this money lightly.
Shui Ziliu shook his head and said, "It's not enough. You have to eat the goods in our hands, and you also have to give us a part of the deposit, so that we can continue to scalp the tickets for you with peace of mind."
"No, you are scalping not for me, but for yourself. I am just a buyer and a seller. I can give you a deposit of one hundred, but you must know that my deposit is not that It’s easy to get. If you don’t meet my requirements by then, don’t blame me for not cherishing old friendships.”
Speaking of this, Zhou Chen exuded a powerful aura, the majesty and domineering power of a superior, which made Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin's expressions suddenly change.
They didn't expect that Zhou Chen, who seemed to be gentle and gentle, would suddenly become so scary.
"good."
Shui Ziliu didn't hesitate anymore and agreed directly: "You go and get the money now, and we will complete this transaction first."
Zhou Chen didn't say much and immediately went home to get the money.
An hour later, the three of them met at the agreed place, paid the money with one hand, and delivered the goods with the other.
This time Shui Ziliu did have a lot of tickets, which were worth more than two hundred in total. In addition to the one hundred deposit, Zhou Chen gave them more than three hundred.
After receiving more than three hundred, Luo Shibin's eyes were red. This was their biggest income in recent years. In order to buy these tickets, they had spent all their belongings and owed a lot to others. There were several fights over money.
Now seeing the results, Luo Shibin feels that everything he did before was worth it.
Although he took out more than three hundred at once, Zhou Chen's expression did not change. The money was exchanged for tickets. It seemed that he had suffered a loss, but it also depends on the situation.
With so many tickets, Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin did not dare to use them, but he could use some. This was the difference between a gangster with a serious job and a gangster without a job.
He works in a publishing house and is a deputy editor. His unit often issues food stamps and meat stamps, so he doesn't have to worry about being investigated.
But Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin were different. They had no jobs and no way to get tickets. If they often used tickets to buy things, it would definitely arouse others' suspicion.
"This hundred is a deposit, but I will only be with you for one month. If you can't get what I want, not only will the one hundred deposit be returned to me, but we will never have any interactions with each other again in the future. I understand. ?"
Zhou Chen warned Shui Ziliu in a stern tone.
Shui Ziliu said confidently: "Business is about mutual consent. I understand what you mean. If we can't get what you want, we know what to do."
Luo Shibin suddenly said: "What if we get good things like bicycle tickets, TV tickets, etc., but you don't have the money or don't want them anymore?"
Shui Ziliu didn't say anything. He was also worried about this. After all, although those tickets were good, they were not easy to sell. Not everyone had the money to afford them.
Zhou Chen said coldly: "As long as you can get it, I can afford it. If you can't afford it, our Guangzi Pian house will be paid for you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin's breathing became heavy.
They naturally know the Zhou family's house. Even in the photo album, they are among the best and are of extraordinary value.
People like them don’t have their own houses at all. The place they live in now has no property rights at all. If they can get the Zhou family’s house and get the real estate certificate, they can get the urban household registration. With the household registration, they don’t need to Hiding in Tibet...
Compared with money, a house with clear property rights, a household registration and that can be traded makes Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin more excited.
"You won't lie to us, will you? Are you in charge of your house?"
As soon as Zhou Chen saw the expressions of Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, he knew that their hearts were moved, so he said in a positive tone: "I am the one who makes the decision in our house now. As you all know, I have moved to a new house now, where is the Guangzi film?" , I didn’t want to live in it in the first place. If my old man hadn’t been reluctant to part with it, I would have sold it and bought a new house.”
Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin looked at each other. They were both envious of Zhou Chen's family for having such a nice house, but they didn't like it at all. As expected, comparing people to each other made them very angry.
Luo Shibin said in a deep voice: "I hope you won't lie to us, otherwise we won't be easy to mess with. I know that your wife's family lives in Taiping Hutong, and there is an old man and a blind brother at home..."
Shui Ziliu's expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Bin Zi."
But it was already too late, Zhou Chen suddenly moved and kicked Luo Shibin.
They were not far apart to begin with, but Zhou Chen's speed was too fast. Even though Luo Shibin was prepared, he still underestimated Zhou Chen's speed and strength.
"boom!"
Zhou Chen kicked Luo Shibin directly in the chest. As if Luo Shibin was hit hard, his body flew back two meters uncontrollably before falling.
"Binzi."
Shui Ziliu was shocked and immediately wanted to step forward to stop Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen punched him with his backhand. Although Shui Ziliu reached out to block his face, the huge force hit his arm and still made him stagger. He took several steps back, and his left ear was buzzing, as if he had lost his voice.
Zhou Chen sat on Luo Shibin, picked up his collar, lifted his head, and slapped him directly.
"Snapped!"
Luo Shibin was completely stunned at this moment. Zhou Chen was merciless, kicking him with a kick that caused severe pain in his chest, and a slap that knocked out two of his teeth.
"Zhou Bingkun, let go of Binzi."
Shui Ziliu ignored his pain and shouted at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen shouted: "Don't come over, or I'll kill him."
Seeing Zhou Chen slap him again, Shui Ziliu's steps instantly stopped, and he looked nervously at Zhou Chen and the wailing Luo Shibin.
"Zhou Bingkun, if you have something to say, you won't end well if you beat Binzi to death or cripple him."
Zhou Chen's eyes were cold and he said angrily: "What I hate most is when someone threatens me or uses my family to threaten me. Do you really think I don't dare to kill someone?"
Although he has never killed anyone, if someone he cares about and loves is threatened, it is not impossible to kill someone. With the system, he has already broken away from the boundaries of a normal person.
After all, he was a man who had watched thousands of crime movies. If he really killed Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, and if he handled it properly, law enforcement officers might not be able to find him.
But that was the last step after all. If you have confidence, you have confidence. If he doesn't have to kill people himself, he doesn't want to go to that step.
Shui Ziliu was frightened by Zhou Chen's appearance, but Luo Shibin was even more frightened. He looked at Zhou Chen staring at him with red eyes, murderous, and his heart was beating fast.
His threat just now was just out of instinct. After all, there was so much money, and they had done this kind of thing before.
But he didn't expect Zhou Chen to be so fierce. He would attack immediately if he disagreed, and now he looked like he was going to kill him.
He is brave and fierce, but that is against others. If it is his turn, he is also very scared.
"Zhou, Zhou Bingkun, don't act recklessly. If you kill someone, you will be shot."
Luo Shibin shouted to Zhou Chen in horror. He didn't have any cruelty left, and now he just wanted to ask Zhou Chen to let him go.
Shui Ziliu also urged with a nervous look on his face. He did not dare to take action, for fear that Zhou Chen would be distracted and deal cruel blows to Luo Shibin.
"Zhou Bingkun, Binzi didn't mean it. If you let Binzi go, I will decide the next business and make you a profit."
"Binzi, apologize to me quickly. Hurry up."
Luo Shibin was frightened. He apologized repeatedly, his mouth was full of blood, and he looked very scary and embarrassed.
"If saying sorry works, why do we need a police investigation?"
Zhou Chen showed no mercy and rewarded Luo Shibin with a big mouth again. Luo Shibin's face was swollen into a pig's head.
After a few consecutive moments, Zhou Chen finally relieved himself a little. He did not act cruelly again. After all, he had no experience in killing people. If he didn't handle it well, he might be in trouble.
For someone like Luo Shibin, it's not worth putting himself in trouble. After all, in this era, killing people must be shot. He still has the main mission to complete and cannot leave this world.
Standing up from Luo Shibin, Zhou Chen clapped his hands and walked aside.
Shui Ziliu rushed to Luo Shibin's side immediately and helped him up.
"Binzi, how are you?"
"Ahem, you can't die yet, Shui, Brother Shui."
Luo Shibin spit out the blood in his mouth with difficulty and looked at Zhou Chen with hatred in his eyes, but there was still fear hidden in his eyes.
Although he was given the upper hand by Zhou Chen, he didn't think about resisting after being knocked down, but Zhou Chen pressed on him, making him unable to move at all and could only be beaten passively.
Zhou Chen looked at Luo Shibin condescendingly and said coldly: "This is a warning to you. If it wasn't for your use, you would never survive today."
"Water flows by itself, Luo Shibin, please listen to me. If anything happens to my family, I guarantee that you two will die without a burial place."
He knew that Luo Shibin's words just now were intended to make him take action. If they really wanted them to attack Aunt Zheng and Guangming, they would definitely not have the courage.
But even so, Zhou Chen was not willing to take a gamble. He had already made a decision in his heart. He must deal with these two people as soon as possible, especially Luo Shibin.
"Half a month, I'll give you half a month. If you can't get what I want, hum."
After saying this, Zhou Chen ignored them, turned around and left on his bicycle.
He saw fear in the eyes of Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin, and knew that they would not dare to really do anything to their family members.
This is Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin now. If it were Luo Shibin more than ten years later in the plot, Zhou Chen would not let them go.
"Brother Shui, this kid is so arrogant, do we still want to help him?"
Being repaired by Zhou Chen again, Luo Shibin was angry and aggrieved, and wanted to tear Zhou Chen into pieces.
Shui Ziliu sighed slightly and said: "Binzi, you were too impulsive just now. You said something bad and insisted on saying that kind of threat. You have seen how powerful Zhou Bingkun is. To be honest, I was really afraid of killing him just now." You, the look in his eyes just now was really scary."
When Luo Shibin heard this, he recalled Zhou Chen's murderous eyes just now, and his heart trembled slightly.
"I don't believe he really dared to kill me."
"What if? It's just to make money. Is it necessary to risk your life?"
Although he is a gangster, Shui Ziliu never likes to use force to solve problems unless it is a last resort.
But facing Zhou Chen and the disparity in force, he never thought of taking action against Zhou Chen, feeling that Luo Shibin really couldn't control his mouth.
Luo Shibin said depressedly: "I'm not afraid that boy will lie to us. After all, what he wants is not easy to get. If we get it in our hands, it will be over."
After all, they have been brothers for many years, and Shui Ziliu did not blame Luo Shibin anymore.
"Okay, let me talk to him from now on. Stop talking. This Zhou Bingkun seems to be a cultural person, but he is more ruthless than us."
Luo Shibin also murmured in his heart that when they came to Zhou Chen, they thought that Zhou Chen was a cultural man and could be easily intimidated, but who would have thought that they would be the ones who were intimidated in the end.
"Then we still need to help him get tickets?"
Shui Ziliu gritted his teeth and said, "Do it."
"..."
A series of swear words burst out from Luo Shibin's mouth. He was beaten by Zhou Chen and had to help Zhou Chen with things. He felt aggrieved in his heart.
But he didn't realize that it was they who came to find Zhou Chen, not Zhou Chen who came to them.
They were the ones who wanted to make money from Zhou Chen in the first place, and now they have to accept the result.
Zhou Chen didn't look very good on his way home. Luo Shibin's threat made him angry, but also a little uneasy at the same time.
After all, this era is not decades from now. Murders and arson often occur. We just didn't encounter them before, but they do exist, so we have to guard against them.
"Luo Shibin, this must be resolved."
There was a cold light in Zhou Chen's eyes. Originally, he just wanted to put those two people in jail.
But Luo Shibin's words today made him realize that just putting them in jail would be too cheap for Luo Shibin, and they must be solved once and for all.
"Luo Shibin has to be dealt with, but it's best not to get through my hands."
Before returning home, Zhou Chen had already thought of a plan.
A few days later, Zhou Chen found out the information he wanted and planned for a few more days. One night, Zhou Chen launched an operation.
No matter what era you are in, there will be no shortage of idle gangsters. There are simply not too many gangsters like Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin.
The target Zhou Chen is looking for this time is a group of people who are engaged in ticket scalping business just like Shui Ziliu and others.
Even if you are a small gangster, you need more people to be more powerful. For these small gangsters who do not have serious jobs, ticket scalping can be said to be a business where they can make money quickly. Although there are risks, they can indeed make money. .
Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin were relatively well-known vote scalping gangs in the optical film area, but they also had competitors, more than one, which was why they often fought in the past.
Du Laosan walked into the alleyway cursing. With the recent crackdown, their ticket scalping business has become increasingly difficult, but it is impossible not to do it. The family is just waiting for the little money he earns to live off.
Du Laosan is in his thirties this year. He has two children. When they are growing, they sometimes eat more than him.
Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was just fooling around in the alleys. Later, when the country became stronger, he did not become rich. He still fooled around and was brave and fierce. When he was young, he destroyed several people. , is a truly ruthless character.
Later, after he got married, he restrained himself and started a small business. However, since he couldn't make money from serious business, he started to make money from side projects.
In the past, he could still make a lot of money by doing business on the sidelines, but since a few years ago, he was almost arrested. Since then, he has not dared to do anything serious again.
He only started the business of scalping tickets a few years ago. Because he has a lot of gangsters who work with him, the ticket scalping business is doing well.
It’s just that in recent years, many people have started to start this business, which has led to serious involution and made it increasingly difficult to do business.
It's not that Du Laosan hasn't thought about doing something else, but people like them have already gained a bad reputation, and serious units have long been out of touch with them. If they don't do these speculative businesses, their family won't be able to survive.
Carrying the low-quality wine, Du Laosan walked unsteadily. If he walked for a while, he would be home.
"Du Laosan."
The sudden sound in the darkness made Du Laosan tremble. His confused consciousness was mostly clear in an instant, and his eyes were fixed on the darkness ahead.
"who?"
I saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness ahead. This person was dressed in black, wearing a hat and a mask, and his face could not be seen.
"Who are you, you pretender? What do you want to do?" Du Laosan shouted angrily.
Zhou Chen said: "Du Laosan, I heard that you are engaged in ticket scalping?"
Du Laosan showed doubts on his face: "Who are you? I don't know what you are talking about. I am a good citizen and I don't know whether to scalp votes or not."
"Du Laosan, I am not the person you think. You don't have to pretend. I can find you because I have found out from the black market that you are the biggest ticket buyer in this area."
"Are you really not trying to frame me?"
Du Laosan looked at Zhou Chen, who was covering himself tightly. He knew that the other party did not want him to know his identity, which made him relax a little.
Zhou Chen's voice was naturally changed and he couldn't change it into a female voice, but the vicissitudes of tone could still be easily manipulated.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I want bicycle tickets and TV tickets. Can you get them?"
"Both of these tickets are very difficult to get. Why do you think I can get them?"
Du Laosan looked hesitant. Although he was in the ticket scalping business, he only sold ordinary food stamps and meat stamps. He also occasionally sold bicycle tickets, but he had been doing this for several years for precious tickets like TV sets. Only sold once.
"Of course I have my own method, just tell me if you can get it?"
"How much do you want?"
"As many as I want."
Du Laosan's expression became even more suspicious. He felt that Zhou Chen was making fun of him, so he said in a very unhappy tone: "Boy, are you kidding me?"
Suddenly a bag was thrown over, causing Du Laosan to panic.
"Here is three hundred yuan, which is a deposit for you. If you can get what I want, even if it is ten times or a hundred times, I will have the money to give you."
Du Laosan quickly opened the bag. When he took a look, his breathing became heavy, because the bag was full of banknotes. If not three hundred, it was probably about the same.
He looked at Zhou Chen with twinkling eyes: "You just gave me the money, aren't you afraid that I will take your money and not do anything for you?"
Zhou Chen sneered and said: "Three hundred yuan is nothing. I can give you three hundred yuan casually, which means that this little money is nothing to me. If you can keep doing it with me, you will still care about this three hundred yuan." Block? You are a smart man and should understand what I mean."
Du Laosan took a deep breath. Three hundred yuan was not a small sum of money to him, but this mysterious man threw it to him casually. It seemed that he was really not short of money.
Although he is a gangster, he is not stupid.
"You are so rich, why did you come to me?"
Zhou Chen said: "Don't you know what the limelight is now? I have money, but money may not necessarily buy you what you want. I just ask you, will you do it? If you don't do it, the money will be returned Me, I’ll find someone else.”
Du Laosan's eyes flashed, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "Do it, of course, if I help you find the ticket you want, it must be 20% more than the black market price. You also know that I will also take the risk." It’s a big risk.”
Zhou Chen sneered: "You are really greedy, but I promise you, if you can get what I want, the price is not a problem."
"Then I got something, how can I find you?"
"When you get something, it will still be in this place. You place three standing bricks here. After I see it, I will come here to find you at night. Then we will make friends and deliver the goods."
Du Laosan thought about it and felt that he would not suffer a loss. Anyway, he had already received the three hundred yuan. Even if this guy never showed up in the future, he would not suffer a loss.
"Okay, it's settled."
After reaching an agreement, Zhou Chen left the dark alley and looked at Du Laosan's back with a meaningful expression.
Du Laosan and Shui Ziliu were in the same area. He was doing the same business as the two groups. As long as they wanted to trade with him, they would try their best to get tickets. Then there would inevitably be a collision. .
"Du Laosan's power is stronger than that of Shuiliu Luo Shibin. If they collide, it will be Luo Shibin and the others who suffer."
His original plan was to let the water flow freely and Luo Shibin collect tickets on a large scale. Then he secretly notified the police and arrested them and locked them up for several years.
But Luo Shibin's words made him change his attention. He felt that just arresting him and imprisoning him for a few years was not enough. Luo Shibin must be dealt with once and for all.
So he changed this method and used this method to make the two of them quarrel. When the time comes, he will reap the benefits and take the opportunity to solve Luo Shibin's trouble.
As for whether they would quarrel, he was not worried at all, because he had already asked about it. Du Laosan and Shui Ziliu had already had conflicts and even fought several times. The person who Tu Ziliu killed was Du Laosan. Lao San and others are in the same group.
So this time it's the same purpose, and it's impossible not to fight.
This is called involution.
He doesn't need to show up himself, he only needs to control the situation behind the scenes. The only expenditure required is a few hundred dollars.
But for Zhou Chen, he doesn't care about the money. As long as he can kill Luo Shibin, he will not be suspected. This money will be spent. At worst, he will copy more poems and write more articles in the future, and soon he will be Will earn it back again.
