Chapter 166: Being charged protection fees

Regarding these men's satisfaction with their current lives and work, Chen Changliu was sincerely happy for them.

"Brothers, as long as you are satisfied, then I will be relieved. However, I suggest that if you have a partner, you can let your partner come to work in Yangcheng together. After all, jobs are easy to find now.

If it doesn't work, the company's foundry is almost finished. Although we have almost hired workers now, as long as your target and the like come, the company will definitely hire them.

The two of them receive their salary together, and after saving for 2 or 3 years, they can pay a down payment for a house in Yangcheng, settle down in Yangcheng, and bring better life education to their children in the future.

Moreover, housing prices in Yangcheng are still cheap now, but they will become expensive in a few years, so it can be regarded as an investment..."

Chen Changliu chatted with these men for a long time. During this period, Chen Changliu became interested. He even put on his equipment and had a free sparring session with them, which made Chen Changliu extremely excited.

He himself has not been a peaceful person since he was a child. When he got a little older, it was common to fight outside with Zhao Lin and Pang Wei. In addition, he had been working since he was a child, and he was tall and long-armed. It could be said that he could win any single challenge. .

But in this fight with this group of people, although his punches are still as heavy, he really can't do it technically. After all, those who can be recruited by Zeng Qiang and Xiang Hong have good physical fitness and fighting ability. people.

So Chen Changliu lost.

Chen Changliu had a lot of fun this afternoon. It was a good way to vent his anger. He could do more boxing when he had time in the future.

In the evening, Chen Changliu entertained guests, not at any big restaurants, but at roadside barbecue stalls.

While everyone was eating barbecue and drinking beer, Zeng Qiang received a call. His face immediately turned ugly. However, after adjusting, he walked to Chen Changliu and said:

"Boss, there's something going on at the headquarters construction site. I'll take care of it. You and your brothers can continue drinking."

Chen Changliu didn't take it seriously. After Zeng Qiang left with three people, he finally realized why he was bringing people there to handle things. Moreover, there were people from the company's security department on duty at the headquarters construction site. With these people who were specially responsible for bodyguard work, What do people do?

He called Xiang Hong and asked him to find out.

After a few minutes, Xiang Hong hung up the phone, walked over and whispered:

"Boss, someone is blocking the company's delivery of trucks..."

After Xiang Hong's explanation, Chen Changliu understood what was going on. It should be said that it was not an emergency.

After a group of people started construction at the headquarters factory, they came to communicate with the person in charge of the site about taking on some projects.

This was normal in 2004. It was nothing more than some local people relying on the local people. For example, in real estate, the earthwork was basically contracted by local people, and they actually knew who these contractors were.

Under normal circumstances, most companies will do it for them. After all, it's troublesome for these people to pester them. They are so difficult to deal with!

If it affects on-site construction, the losses incurred are no joke.

If you want to prevent local people from contracting these projects, unless you are as powerful as a certain person, you can backhand the people who want to contract the earthwork without affecting the progress of the project.

Zhou Liming, the flower grower who was in charge of the project, was not a novice himself, so he gave some projects to them when the price was the same as others.

However, as the project progressed, these people became more and more demanding, and soon they always made some excessive demands.

Zeng Qiang had dealt with it before, but it only treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.

But now, this group of people is even more outrageous. Not only do they want to blatantly collect protection fees, but they also want to contract the production line equipment that the company is planning to introduce. According to them, their boss's company specializes in helping factories purchase production line equipment, so The flower grower's production line equipment must be purchased from their boss.

If the quality and price of the equipment were the same, it would be okay, but the price of Donghua Equipment Co., Ltd. was 30% more expensive than others. Zhou Liming definitely disagreed, and the negotiation collapsed, but he didn't care very much and said hello to the local town government. , and then disappeared for a while.

I thought it had been solved, but it happened again today. There were more than a dozen gangsters at the scene. They drove and blocked the road. They said that the truck had damaged their road and they wanted to pay compensation. Zeng Qiang was going to deal with this matter now. of.

After hearing this, Chen Changliu's face became gloomy, "Why didn't you report it to me before?"

"Manager Zhou and Brother Qiang always thought it was a trivial matter that they could handle by themselves. After all, there is still the town government."

"What's the background of the other party?"

“On the surface, it appears that the other party is a group of local gangsters, but according to our investigation, there are actually people behind them.

"Donghua Equipment Import and Export Co., Ltd." is a company run by the boss behind them. On the surface, it provides various production equipment to the factory, but the company boss Jia Hongyu is originally a veteran.

I started by collecting protection fees and doing earthwork before, and then I opened Donghua Equipment Import and Export Co., Ltd., and I had a lot of gangsters who specialized in harassing factories, and then I collected protection fees and sold equipment, etc. because......"

After listening for a few minutes, Chen Changliu finally understood that what these people were doing was nothing more than harassment and interference with the normal production of the factory.

For example, they find various excuses to block trucks carrying raw materials from entering the factory or trucks carrying products from leaving the factory. In any case, it makes these factories uncomfortable.

However, these actions only amount to a few days of public security detention at most. Even if the factory calls the police and they are arrested, they will be released within a few days.

But if these people can be replaced by a new group of people and repeat the old tricks, then the factory will suffer.

In the end, most factory owners had no choice but to lose money and avoid disaster.

And this group of people is also very smart. They will not touch the key projects in the district, but only select some small factories that they feel do not have much backing.

"Boss, Jia Hongyu, the boss behind Donghua Equipment Import and Export Co., Ltd., can be said to be the biggest veteran in Huadu District.

I heard that we have strong connections in the district! "

After listening to Xiang Hong's words, Chen Changliu thought for a while and then said: "Brothers, let's drink until now. Something happened at the factory. Someone doesn't want us to have a good meal and wants to charge us protection fees. What do you think? Do you agree?"

"disagree"

"disagree"

More than a dozen men yelled.

The other guests and the boss at the scene were surprised.

"Okay, let's go to the headquarters to finish the matter first, and then we can continue drinking, but all actions are subject to my command!"

After saying that, more than a dozen men stood up with cheers. The owner of the barbecue restaurant was so frightened that he thought Chen Changliu and his gang were trying to escape the bill. He was also afraid, but in order to survive, he walked over tremblingly.

"Old... boss..., do you want to add anything else?"

Looking at the boss's appearance, Chen Changliu just felt funny. Do his people look like they are eating the King's meal?

Xiang Hong took out the money and settled the bill, and the boss breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone quickly returned to the station. Xiang Hong drove Chen Changliu's car, pulling Chen Changliu in front and the van behind, and drove towards the headquarters factory.
