I am a rich second generation

"So I'm actually like the old godfather. I joined the gang as a last resort. If there is no other way, who would want to take such a road of no return! Most of the young people who walked this road with me back then have already died. There is no one in a million that can survive." The old man Xu said with a look of reminiscence, "When I was young, I was in the Republic of China. This court was not established. The current situation was chaotic and the country was in turmoil. At that time, most of the profitable businesses , are all dominated by foreigners, Japanese invaders, warlords, bureaucrats, and compradors. How easy is it for a poor boy like me who has nothing to rise?"

"So you joined the guild, founded the guild, and developed the guild?" Xu Wannian asked.

"Otherwise?" Grandpa Xu said with a smile, "The movie "The Godfather" hadn't been made back then. The movies I watched at that time were "Burning the Red Lotus Temple" and "Angels on the Road". My favorite movie stars are Ruan Lingyu and Zhou Xuan, but it's a pity that the beauty is so unlucky, and the ending of these two is not very happy."

"Father, you've dragged the topic far." Obviously, Xu Wannian didn't have any desire to understand the story of Mr. Xu watching movies and chasing stars in the Republic of China.It's not that Xu Wannian is not interested, but Xu Wannian, as the last son of Mr. Xu, has been loved by Mr. Xu. When he was married at Mr. Xu's knees, Mr. Xu had already given him the old millet and rotten sesame seeds. After talking over and over again, his ears were calloused, and now he has no interest at all.

Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "When I get old, I always like to recall the past. After all, it is impossible for me to have any new stories now. Hey... Where did I just say that? Uh, I didn't watch "The Godfather" back then, but I learned the principles of the Godfather without a teacher. At that time, I loved to listen to "Water Margin" when I listened to storytelling. I was confused and thought that Song Jiang was very interesting, and I often acted according to Song Jiang's methods. The last act The method is very effective. Everyone says I am benevolent and righteous, and many people have been helped by me, so I have naturally overcome many dangers. But these years, I have figured it out. In fact, "The Godfather" and "Water Margin" talk about It’s a truth, that’s how the underworld develops.”

"I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Xu Wannian asked cautiously.For Mr. Xu's wisdom, Xu Wannian never dared to underestimate it. Although Mr. Xu has not read many books, he is very educated. This is not unusual.Mrs. Xu, who has a clear understanding of the world, has already obtained a doctorate in the university of society. He is cunning, scheming, and very accessible.

Furthermore, "An old man in a family is like a treasure", Mr. Xu's rich life experience is also an inexhaustible treasure. The more he deals with practical affairs, the more Xu Wannian feels.

Mrs. Xu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and said, "Wannian, you are a sociology student. You should know the reason for the creation of the underworld, right?"

"The underworld, or the gang, is a supplement for the people to the vacuum of government power, and a supplement to the vacancy of the national order. This is not obvious in China, but in Fusang, a country where the government lacks grassroots power, it is almost It's clear at a glance!" Xu Wannian talked eloquently, "After the Fusang earthquake, the first people to take to the streets for disaster relief were the gangsters. Usually, the gangsters also deal with various civil affairs, filling the gaps in the vacuum that cannot be reached by administrative power."

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Your book is worthless! You are right. The government controls the sky, the earth, and the air, but there are always some corners that it can't control. It's the place that it doesn't want to be official. It's it. Places that are too lazy to take care of. These places, if it doesn't care, someone will take care of them, and those who take care of them are the underworld!"

"The lowest level of the underworld is the kind of underworld in the Hong Kong movie "Young and Dangerous". The government of the corrupt country deliberately indulged the security of the colony, otherwise this kind of underworld would have been wiped out long ago! In fact, after Hong Kong returned to the mainland in 97, this kind of underworld that beat, killed, and robbed territory has disappeared!"

"And the second stage of the underworld is the order of sales, which is packaged with the so-called loyalty. At this stage, the underworld will not only stop fighting and killing, but will also solve problems for various merchants and solve the difficulties they encounter— —It’s better to say that you’ve been harassed by hooligans, blackmailed by gangsters, or bullied by anyone, and you can solve it for you! By maintaining a stable order, the common people will willingly pay for it.”

"The old godfather in "The Godfather" is at this stage. The old godfather has always established his majesty by helping others. For example, the old godfather once helped a widow. The widow lived in poverty, and the landlord kicked him out. I came to communicate with the landlord, and paid part of the money myself, so that the widow can continue to live proudly. Is it good for the old godfather to help this widow? There is no professional gain!"

"However, as long as this widow still exists and socializes, she will show that the old godfather has helped her when she meets people. This is a living advertisement! The old godfather built up word of mouth through such kind deeds! Like the beginning of "The Godfather" Many businessmen ask the old godfather for help, hoping that the old godfather will avenge his daughter, it is based on the old godfather's word of mouth!"

"Timely Rain Song Jiang in "Water Margin", obviously not good at martial arts, why can he have such a great prestige in the arena? It is because Song Jiang is nicknamed "Timely Rain" and has been helping all kinds of people. No one can guarantee that he will not If you are down and out, you naturally have a good impression of people like Song Jiang. If Song Jiang has a good reputation, this brand will be erected, and there will be a lot of faces."

"I don't know if I'm smart or lucky. When I was just a fledgling, I followed the path of the old godfather and Song Jiang. I didn't directly fight and kill at the beginning. I don't know how many dangers I avoided. You know, there were many tea-eating troubles back then All the important figures died because of the abuse of force, just like Wang Yaqiao, the leader of the Ax Gang."

"The third stage of the underworld is even more serious, and that is the road of whitewashing and transformation. For example, Shuibo Liangshan and Song Jiang's group, who are obviously robbing their homes, insist on putting up a sign of "Walking for the Heavens" for themselves, and give them Seek legitimacy by yourself. The old godfather in "The Godfather" is also preparing to start transforming into whitewashing! From simply collecting protection fees, first become a legal businessman!"
