Chapter 98: The Rivers and Lakes of Xiangjiang (Part 1)
one
In the hospital, in a ward guarded by more than a dozen policemen, Lin Wei was lying on a bed. Shao Daheng sat on a chair beside the bed and looked at Lin Wei. Shao Daheng said, "A Wei, where are you playing?"
After this period of cooperation, the two sides got along well. Shao Daheng admired Lin Wei very much and had gradually treated Lin Wei as his nephew. Therefore, after hearing that Lin Wei was assassinated on the street, he rushed over to visit him as soon as possible. Seeing that Lin Wei was fine, he felt relieved. With Shao Daheng's shrewdness, he soon realized what Lin Wei was playing.
Seeing the sincere concern of Dakong Shao, Lin Wei was also moved and said, "Old Shao, I have no choice. Some people are too powerful in Xiangjiang and threatened my safety, so I have to take action."
Daheng Shao nodded and did not ask who the person who threatened Lin Wei's safety. It was not that he refused to help Lin Wei, but that Lin Wei is no longer an ordinary person in Xiangjiang now. Although his foundation is not as deep as his Shao family in Xiangjiang, in terms of strength, he is not much worse than his Shao family now. Lin Wei needs to play this kind of action carefully. Daheng Shao also understood that he might not be able to easily deal with the man who threatened Lin Wei, because the Jianghu in Xiangjiang is very complicated and chaotic.
"I just learned about the dispute between you and Jiahe. A Wei, I have to say to you, you used those policemen but broke the rules, which is not good for you. If you do this, you are almost declaring war on the Jianghu people in Xiangjiang. From the front, you have won temporarily, but in the long run, you are in a disadvantageous position. Many bigwigs in the forces in Xiangjiang will not stand your behavior." Shao Daheng pondered for a moment, and decided to warn Lin Wei. He didn't know why Lin Wei used the police to deal with Jiahe, but based on his decades of life experience, Lin Wei's doing this is very wrong, because in a sense, Xiangjiang is the Xiangjiang people of Jianghu people.
Shao Daheng knew that Lin Wei had not been in Xiangjiang for a long time, but only a few years, and he probably couldn't recognize how powerful the power of Xiangjiang, a man in the martial arts world, was, so he wanted to warn him to avoid making mistakes that should not be made. He warned him. Lin Wei understood that Shao Daheng's warning was not to be a peacemaker in Jiahe, but to be afraid that he would suffer losses if he didn't understand the truth. Back then, Shaw Company was a giant compared to the newborn Jiahe Company. The dispute between the two sides had staged many full martial arts activities, fighting, splashing feces, and burning, and both sides almost turned red. However, the huge Shaw Company had never used the police. It was not that Shao Daheng was not a friend of the police, but Xiangjiang's rules, Jianghu affairs, and Jianghu, whoever came to Jianghu affairs would be despised and disliked by the tycoons in Xiangjiang.
Lin Wei thought for a while and decided to reveal some secrets: "Mr. Shao, do you think our Xiangjiang will return?"
"Returning is the general trend, there should be no surprises." Shao Daheng looked at Lin Wei with some surprise, not understanding how Lin Wei mentioned this question, but with his insight, he answered Lin Wei's question.
"Yes, Mr. Shao, Xiangjiang will definitely return. So, Mr. Shao believes that what kind of Xiangjiang the mainland government will want? Is it a Xiangjiang with rampant black forces and chaotic forces, or a Xiangjiang with good rule of law?" Lin Wei asked.
"This is naturally a Xiangjiang River with a good rule of law. Why, what have you said to you?" Shao Daheng asked curiously. Shao Daheng always doubted Lin Wei's specific origin, because Lin Wei was too bold and pro-pro-the-land. Whether in terms of economics or legal governance, Lin Wei was completely moving towards the mainland with all his might, which made people have to doubt his origin.
"Yes, as long as people with a clear mind know that what the mainland hopes is a Xiangjiang River with a good rule of law. So, Mr. Shao, how long do you think the Jiangjiang River will last? Although this is not what I should do, since it is my turn, I can't be a Jiangjiang River from the beginning. I don't want to be a Jiangjiang River from the beginning. One day, I will have to bleach it. I also believe that my affairs, although I can't get the likes of those Jiangjiang River bosses in Xiangjiang, will have a more powerful boss who will like what I do. I handed the knife to their hands. They will definitely take the opportunity to cut a few knives. If they can't cut down a few big trees, it is also a achievement to cut off a few small grasses temporarily." Lin Wei smiled and revealed a little secret.
His words made Daheng Shao think deeply. He was a smart man and naturally understood the meaning behind this words. When a merchant reaches a certain level, he cannot be a pure businessman. The big businessman without Zhengzhi's escort is just a fattened pig: "A Wei, do you want me to help? Just a small fight like you may not know that you have handed them the knife."
Looking at the smile on Dakong Shao's face, Lin Wei also smiled and said helplessly: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Shao."
"Haha...Awei, you don't need this expression. I never thought of asking you to owe a favor. Once this matter was done, I believe Jiahe was really defeated by you. It's still Awei, you are so smart. You can also think of such an idea." Daheng Shao smiled and shook his head, and suddenly sighed. At this moment, he understood why Lin Wei did this.
Lin Wei’s real goal is not to please the mainland side. Lin Wei’s goal is still on Jiahe or on his opponents. Although the people of Xiangjiang are very weak and are very accustomed to the life of the Jianghu people, Xiangjiang is not the dictator Xiangjiang. The people here are at least free in their thoughts, and the two are not the Xiangjiang who are the big men in the Jianghu. Although these Jianghu are rampant in Xiangjiang, although 90% of the people in Xiangjiang have joined a certain club, there is still a kind of force on the heads of these Jianghu people, that is, the official power is the master of Xiangjiang. Whether it is the British official or the Chinese official in the future, once the official becomes serious, those Jianghu will be paper tigers.
Seeing the expression of Dakong Shao, Lin Wei knew that he understood his plan. He smiled and said, "It's actually that."
"Yes, times have changed. This is not the era ten years ago. Awei, you should take a good rest. This time, I will help you well." Daheng Shao stood up and said goodbye to Lin Wei with a smile.
Seeing Daheng Shao leave, Lin Wei sat up from the bed and murmured: "This scene is already quite exciting."
Lin Wei is not a person who can play conspiracy, and Zhang Xingwang is not a person who can play conspiracy. As for Wang Jing and Zhao Yazhi, they are not a person who can play conspiracy. However, there is someone around Zhang Xingwang who can play such conspiracy, but Boss Wu from a certain detective agency is a person who can play conspiracy very well. I don’t know where he saw that Lin Wei was a person with great development prospects. At that time, when Lin Wei was not the big boss, he began to bet on Lin Wei.
Lin Wei has a lot of shortcomings. He is definitely not the kind of person who can accomplish great things, but he is a reborn person and a generous person. So he can make money and can also make great benefits for those who follow him. After getting benefits from Lin Wei, Boss Wu devoted himself to planning for Lin Wei, so early on. Lin Wei began to set up a big net, this big net. There are ordinary but somewhat strange and capable people, the kind of hidden lines of buying in other companies, and there are police officials of all sizes. Similarly, there are also lurking people in many communities in Xiangjiang.
When Chen Chaowu decided to deal with Lin Wei, he didn't know that someone had betrayed them long ago. When Zou Wenhuai decided to deal with Lin Wei, he didn't know that their action plan was also known by Lin Wei and the others. So Lin Wei's head flashed with an inspiration, and he accidentally remembered some scenes in the movie and decided to have a big game.
In this era, not many people will know better than Lin Wei. The power of public opinion and the use of public opinion is a very sharp knife. When the tide of public opinion is formed, unless it is a real big shot, ordinary tycoons and company bosses have to retreat in front of public opinion. Lin Wei needs to shut up those tycoons in his next actions. Lin Wei needs to let those tycoons in his next actions, and Lin Wei needs to be unable to withstand the pressure and surrender.
The matter finally happened according to Lin Wei's idea. Just when Shao Tycoon left Lin Wei's ward, more than a dozen newspapers in Xiangjiang launched a shocking big news: Lin Wei, a new billionaire in Xiangjiang, was assassinated on the street!
The Sing Tao Daily is the first newspaper to report the fastest. Their title is: Billionaire was killed on the street. This report is an article by Lu Wensheng. Several clear-looking photos were published in the newspaper. Although the photos when he was shot cannot see who the boy and that woman were, in the photos behind, everyone clearly saw that the woman without a hat and sunglasses was Chen Yulian. It was precisely because Chen Yulian's photo appeared that no one in Xiangjiang suspected that the fallen boy was not the teenager Lin Wei mentioned in the newspaper.
If it is just such a report, then the citizens of Xiangjiang will only treat it as an entertainment article. What does it matter if who dies? What does it matter if a rich man is killed? It is absolutely nothing to him. So, it is not his business. Then it is a story about entertainment, physical and mental entertainment. At most, it is just a few words to sigh when chatting with neighbors.
The overwhelming coverage of this matter was only to let the people in Xiangjiang know about this matter, and it did not make the citizens of Xiangjiang angry about Lin Wei's experience. At a later time, another news began to be overwhelmed, that is, the incident of Jiahe asking people to mess with the cinemas of Xiangjiang Theater. This kind of report also did not make the citizens of Xiangjiang have any feelings, nor could it even attract the attention of Xiangjiang citizens, because in Xiangjiang things like this are too common, and everyone is numb, just like people living in saline and alkaline land don't know that the water they drink is salty and bitter.
If it was just such a report, then Lin Wei would definitely fail. Fortunately, although Lin Wei was not good at conspiracy, he had seen how pigs walked in his previous life. Moreover, Shao Daheng also understood Lin Wei's intentions very well. Starting from the newspapers and then the TVB also made efforts, the reported incident was no longer the shooting incident of Lin Wei, nor the smashing incident of cinemas, but was extended from these two incidents. Other related incidents were also reported, from major events such as shooting incidents, kidnapping incidents, robbery incidents, to small incidents such as random chopping of people, extortion of protection fees, etc. These incidents are constantly reported, and many of them are often encountered with ordinary citizens in Xiangjiang. Especially those small events, which are complete with physical evidence and pictures, and are also the most likely to resonate with ordinary people in Xiangjiang.
The citizens of Xiangjiang, who were not concerned about their own affairs, have been caused by these reports to all kinds of bad memories in their hearts. These reports are no longer an entertainment article, but a cry of complaints, and a trend of dissatisfaction began to surge in Xiangjiang.
Almost the day after the news reports appeared, the news that Lin Wei was shot on the street appeared on the desk of the head of state. After reading the report, the head of state sighed and said, "The Xiangjiang River is too chaotic, and it needs to be cured."
This news report could appear in front of the head of state so quickly. Naturally, Lin Wei used some connections here, otherwise it would not be so fast. After the head of state said this, although the Mainland government did not express any opinions, several newspapers related to the mainland in Xiangjiang began to fully support the public opinion trend of Lin Wei's first-hand director. Perhaps a major figure from the mainland handed a message to ATV, but ATV also gave up supporting Jiahe and joined the publicity of public opinion.
The British kept silent about this overwhelming public opinion propaganda. They did not dare to stand up and stop this public opinion at this time. There was no way. Who told the black forces in Xiangjiang that they were so rampant that they dared to shoot a billionaire in Xiangjiang in broad daylight. The ordinary people of Xiangjiang would not have any thoughts about this matter. But the rich people in Xiangjiang had no choice but to have any thoughts. If they could kill Lin Wei in the street today, would they kill whoever of them tomorrow?
No one can guarantee that no other crazy people will shoot at them, such as the rich. Even the governor cannot guarantee that no one will shoot at him. He cannot or may he be reluctant to come forward to stop this public opinion, and even has to fire at the big figures in the police system, allowing them to rigorously rectify those who are bold and reckless.
On the third day of the report, Lin Wei's side also began to take revenge. Of course, this revenge was not targeted by Jiahe. Jiahe no longer needed to target anything. Public opinion alone was enough to have a big head on Jiahe.
When those reports first appeared, Chen Chaowu and the boss Lu did not realize that the matter was too big. The person who sent out to silence the words to report that Qu Sheng had been silenced. Bos Lu always regarded the man as his important confidant. Unexpectedly, this person had been lost by Lin Wei's money and betrayed him. On the other hand, many officials on the police were also bribed by Lin Wei and did not release any news of Qu Sheng's arrest. So Bos Lu did not know that Qu Sheng was still alive and betrayed him in the police station.
Although killing a billionaire is a major news in Xiangjiang, in the eyes of Chen Chaowu and Lu, this rich man is just a rising rich man and has no foundation in Xiangjiang. The impact of killing him may not be as big as that of a general club in Xiangjiang. Therefore, when he learned that Qu Sheng was dead, he thought that the police in Xiangjiang would not find them again. Moreover, even if the police in Xiangjiang found them, it would be no big deal. Chen Chaowu believed that with their Chen family’s connections in Xiangjiang, even if the police knew that it was his commander, what could they do to him?
Many people in Xiangjiang know that Lin Wei has more than a hundred thugs around him, but you can do anything if you have more thugs. At worst, the clubs in Xiangjiang dare not charge your company's protection fees and don't dare to smash your company. They dare to destroy a certain club, including Shao Daheng, the brothers of the Xiang family, Chen Chaowu and Boss Lu, don't believe that Lin Wei does this too.
But Lin Wei did this, completely ignoring the rules of Xiangjiang. On the third day, Xiangjiang police suddenly dispatched and surrounded Boss Lu who were recruiting important members of his subordinates to hold a meeting. Boss Lu and others did not notice that one of them was missing a major confidant subordinate of Boss Lu. This time, the police operation did not warn, and they did not drive the police car to honk the whistle in advance. Everything was silent. After being surrounded, Boss Lu was still thinking about how to defend himself. Unexpectedly, they didn't know what, but they actually fired a gun, and then the tragedy was happening. After the gunshots, the police fired without hesitation.
More than a dozen of Big Boss Lu and others at the meeting, including Big Boss Lu, died in Nei, and the rest were seriously injured. Then, the police rushed in began to clean up and search. No ordinary policeman noticed that several policemen did not follow in, but quietly left. Under the leadership of the police officer, the police who rushed in found a large number of guns, bombs and poisons. What's even more ridiculous is that they also searched a plan. The content of the plan was shocking. It turned out to be a plan to assassinate the British Queen, with the autograph of Big Boss Lu. Although the signature was ugly, it was later confirmed that it was indeed the signature of Big Boss Lu.
This plan made the case bigger, but both the police and the governor in Xiangjiang were very happy that a drug case, a murder case, or something like that is not a major case, but to kill the queen, the case would be a big deal.
