Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 513 Middleman

Just when Niu Daming and Dongzi reached an agreement and prepared to go to the county town to sell the car, Wang An had already arrived in the county town and found the middleman who introduced the dirty work.

In fact, no matter when, no matter where, and no matter what industry, this kind of "middleman" exists.

Of course, middlemen are not necessarily full-time. Many of them have their own special jobs and only occasionally act as middlemen.

The purpose is to earn some referral fees between buyers and sellers, or between demanders and suppliers.

This "introduction fee" is normally paid by both the buyer and the seller or the supply and demand sides, which means that the middleman takes money from both sides.

Some people may ask, isn't it better to just find someone who specializes in doing the dirty work? Why do we have to pay for a middleman? Isn't this just a waste of time?

If someone asks this question, they may be a flower in a greenhouse who has not experienced the violent beatings of society.

First of all, it is impossible for people with needs to be idle every day and then spend money to hire people to fight, or even spend money to hire people to kill people for fun.

Secondly, people who do dirty work cannot go out on the street to get work every day, nor can they just grab a person and ask:

"Do you have an enemy? You can pay me to cripple him, or I can kill him if the money is paid."

If someone who does dirty work dares to do this, they will probably be caught soon.

Besides, if someone asks you this, even if you really have an enemy, would you spend money to hire him? Would you dare to hire him?
Again, even if you know that the other party is a person who specializes in doing dirty work, would you dare to give him money? Are you afraid that he will take the money but not do the work? Or take the money but do nothing.

Finally, no one gets paid for the dirty work afterwards. You get paid first and then the work is done. Of course, you get half at the beginning and half when the work is done.

Therefore, a middleman is needed at this time!

Generally speaking, middlemen are those old scoundrels who have retired after achieving success. When they were doing business, they had a good reputation and a high prestige. They were more trustworthy and loyal, and could convince everyone.

The most important thing is that they have a wide network of contacts, and can be said to be well connected in both the black and white worlds. However, this kind of person also has a biggest drawback, which is that although he earns a lot of money, it is never enough to spend.

Of course, people are always changing. You know, the scale will go up and down. So it is normal for people with such complicated minds to do some shitty things.

The middleman Wang An found was called Qian Huaizhong, nicknamed "Qian the Bad Seed".

Since Wang An's rebirth, he has never dealt with him, but in Wang An's previous life, they had dealt with him quite a lot.

Whether it was helping people fight wars, helping people settle disputes, or helping people collect debts, almost half of the jobs were introduced by him.

The reason why Wang An came to him was because he had always been trustworthy and was the one who had changed the least.

Seeing Wang An enter the room, Qian Huaizhong said with a smile:
"Hey, what a rare visitor! It's been a while since I last saw you. What have you been busy with lately?"

Wang An smiled and replied:
"Just hanging out. I missed Uncle Qian, so I came to see him."

Qian Huaizhong pretended to look around, then joked:
"What? You thought I came here empty-handed?"

Wang An pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"Oh, it's my fault, it's my fault. I'm in a hurry. I'll make it up to you next time. I will definitely make it up to you next time." When Qian Huaizhong heard this, he rolled his eyes at Wang An and said unhappily:
"Hurry up and come over, Jiba! You've been saying this every time I come here since I met you. Jiba has been fooling me for almost four years."

After Qian Huaizhong finished speaking, Wang An showed no shame at all. He picked up the cigarettes and matches on the table in front of Qian Huaizhong, lit a cigarette for Qian Huaizhong and said with a smile:

"Come on, Uncle Qian, have a cigarette and calm down. It's not good for you to be so angry all day long."

Qian Huaizhong glanced at Wang An and said as he took the cigarette:
"Among all these children, I admire your shamelessness the most."

Wang An chuckled when he heard this, and instead of responding, he lit a cigarette for himself and then sat on a small stool beside the table.

The house where Wang An and Qian Huaizhong lived was a gatehouse with doors in the front and back. Next to the gatehouse was the main gate of the courtyard. Further inside the gate were the four main rooms of Qian Huaizhong's house.

However, it is worth noting that in the entire yard, there were only Qian Huaizhong and a few of his men, and a middle-aged woman who was cooking. As for Qian Huaizhong's family, they were not here.

Normally, Qian Huaizhong and several of his men would stay in this big bridal chamber. If anyone came, they would also receive them in this bridal chamber.

There is no kang in this cave room, but there is a stove on each of the north and south sides of the room, that is, there are two stoves in the room. In the middle of the room are two tables and stools.

The reason why it is a Ma Zha instead of a stool or a chair is that the table is not a proper table, but two proper and rough wooden blocks.

As an acquaintance, Wang An also knew several of Qian Huaizhong's men, so when he came, he led the horse directly into the yard, and then the horse stayed in the yard while he entered the house through the back door.

After Wang An sat down, he and Qian Huaizhong chatted about random things while smoking. After smoking a cigarette, the two of them started to talk about business.

Qian Huaizhong said seriously:
"You are a man who never comes here for no reason. Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An glanced around, smiled but did not respond.

Wang An’s meaning was very clear, that is, not too many people should know about my affairs, and the people in your room should stay away.

Qian Huaizhong was also stunned when he saw this, because every time Wang An came before, it was "people looking for work", but this time, it was "work looking for people".

However, after Qian Huaizhong was stunned for a moment, he winked at the people in the room, and then the people in the room got up and left the room very sensibly.

After the door was closed from the outside, Qian Huaizhong asked in surprise:
"What's going on, Xiao An? Are you still short of people to do the work?"

As a big gangster, Wang An naturally had a bunch of small gangsters following him to do things. So in Qian Huaizhong's view, it was extremely abnormal for Wang An to find people to do work for him.

But what Qian Huaizhong didn't know was that Wang An had completely withdrawn, and even Wang An's former friends hadn't seen Wang An for a long time.

Wang An did not answer Qian Huaizhong's question, but said with a sinister smile:

"I want two people to disappear. Uncle Qian, please arrange it for me."

When Qian Huaizhong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he calmly raised his index finger and said:

"If you don't leave any breath, the price will be high. It will be at least this amount for two people."
