They reported the quantity of several types of tickets in one breath, but this was not all they had. Zhou Chen was testing them, and they were also testing Zhou Chen's strength.

Zhou Chen said without hesitation: "I want everything you have."

"All of them?"

Shui Ziliu was stunned, and even Luo Shibin, who had just climbed up, was also surprised.

"Yes, I want them all."

Zhou Chen nodded, but then his expression changed and he asked, "Why, didn't you guys just make fun of me?"

Shui Ziliu was shocked. Not to mention, after what happened just now, he would be nervous if Zhou Chen's tone was a little heavier.

"Of course we do, but do you have enough money?"

"You don't have to worry about that. If you want to trade, it will be tomorrow night, at the same time and place."

Shui Ziliu was not overly happy. Instead, he looked at Zhou Chen with caution and asked, "Are you going to play any tricks?"

Zhou Chen immediately laughed disdainfully, "Do you think I will report you? What good will it do me? Don't worry, I'm not that boring."

Shui Ziliu gritted his teeth and finally said, "Okay, it's settled then. We'll be waiting for you here tomorrow night."

After the agreement, Zhou Chen didn't say anything else, but rode away on his bike again.

Watching Zhou Chen leave, Luo Shibin asked unhappily, "Brother Shui, do we really want to trade with him? What if he plays tricks on us and reports us?"

"Report? Does he have evidence?"

Shui Ziliu was not very worried about Zhou Chen reporting him. If they were really that cautious, they would not be able to continue their business. How could they trade if they had to be on guard against everyone?

Besides, even if Zhou Chen reported it, there would need to be evidence. Before they were absolutely sure of safety, they would not trade with Zhou Chen, and no evidence would fall into Zhou Chen's hands.

Over the years, they have been fighting wits and courage with law enforcement officers and have long developed their own set of defensive measures.

"Binzi, you should change your impulsive personality. If that guy really wanted to attack us just now, the two of us combined would not be his match."

This is also the reason why he is not worried about Zhou Chen reporting him. Zhou Chen can deal with the two of them alone. If he really wants to deal with them, why bother reporting them?

Luo Shibin was full of dissatisfaction: "He just caught me off guard. If we really fight, he is definitely not my opponent."

Shui Ziliu just smiled and did not expose Luo Shibin's forced calmness. Luo Shibin was so strong, but he couldn't get up for half a day after being kicked. You can imagine how amazing Zhou Chen's strength is.

"Tomorrow night, we need to call a few more people, just in case."

It is impossible for only two of them to do a business like theirs. It's just that the others are just thugs and they are the core.

Shui Ziliu sighed, "Since Qiangzi passed away, our business has become increasingly difficult."

Tu Zhiqiang has the best relationship with the two of them, and their business can be so successful because Tu Zhiqiang provides them with a very safe environment.

In the past, many of their deals were negotiated at Tu Zhiqiang's home, but since Tu Zhiqiang passed away, they no longer had a safe house, and many people were unwilling to do business with them, so they had to think of other ideas and finally found Zhou Chen.

"Let's go, let's go back and get ready."

Zhou Chen returned home and lay on the bed, recalling his encounter with Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin. A cruel look flashed across his face.

It would be fine if he hadn't met him, but since he had met him, Luo Shibin would definitely deal with him.

But before you deal with them, you can also recycle them.

He was planning to get married on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and was thinking about how to get enough meat and vegetables when these two people came to him.

"Luo Shibin, although I can't kill you myself, you won't be able to jump around for many days."

For Zhou Chen, killing is still too far away. Even though he has gained strength and abilities beyond ordinary people, he has never thought about killing someone.

It can be said that he has not been pushed to that extent. If something life-threatening really happened, he felt that he would definitely not be merciful at that time.

The next day, Zhou Chen went to work as usual, but he left work early in the afternoon. Then he took Li Suhua and Zheng Juan to the rented house.

After seeing the house, Li Suhua first blamed Zhou Chen for a few words, and then walked around the house with a happy face.

Since ancient times, houses have been the pursuit of most people in China. Although this house is rented, it is indeed several times better than the house with only words on it.

After reading it, Li Suhua sighed: "It would be great if this house belonged to our family."

It is true that Li Suhua has feelings for Guangzi Pian, but not as deep as Zhou Zhigang's. The house in Guangzi Pian was built brick by brick by Zhou Zhigang. In Zhou Zhigang's eyes, that house is his roots.

But for Li Suhua, that house is very important. However, if there is a better house with a better environment, she would be willing to move out.

It’s a pity that this house is only rented, not bought.

Hearing Li Suhua's sigh, Zhou Chen did not say anything ambitious. No matter how much he said, it would not be as practical as actually doing it.

He has the ability to own a better house, but he won't easily say it out loud until he gets it.

After looking at the house, Li Suhua returned to Guangzi Pian with a heavy heart. After Zhou Chen sent Zheng Juan home, he came to the place where he had agreed to meet Shui Ziliu as agreed.

When he arrived at the place, Zhou Chen found that Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin had not appeared yet. He was not in a hurry and just waited quietly.

At a corner not far away, Luo Shibin ran over hurriedly and reported to Shui Ziliu who was standing at the corner.

"Brother Shui, I have observed carefully, that Zhou Bingkun did come alone."

Shui Ziliu nodded and said, "I have already put the things away. Let's go and meet him."

Hearing the footsteps, Zhou Chen turned around and asked calmly, "I didn't expect you guys to be so cautious."

Shui Ziliu walked in front of Zhou Chen, stopped, and said with a smile: "After all, this is a shady business, so of course we have to be cautious."

Zhou Chen did not refute, but just said: "I have brought the money, but we didn't discuss the transaction yesterday. How much do you want to charge me for the amount I asked for yesterday?"

Shui Ziliu said: "For the first transaction, we will reduce the black market price by 10%. Is that sincere enough?"

Zhou Chen shook his head: "Not enough."

Luo Shibin's eyes widened when he heard this, but when he thought of what happened last night, his courage instantly diminished by half and he dared not say a word.

Shui Ziliu didn't care at all. They had already accumulated quite a few tickets. Their business was the best before the New Year, after all, everyone needed to buy things during the holidays.

But recently, the authorities suddenly cracked down on the black market, so that they couldn't deal with the things in their hands in time. Now they need to deal with them in time, otherwise the tail will be too big to get rid of and the trouble will get bigger and bigger.

"Then tell me the number."

Zhou Chen opened his mouth loudly: "Half the black market price."

"Zhou Bingkun, you are..."

Zhou Chen glared at him fiercely, and his fierce look made Luo Shibin's scalp numb, and he couldn't continue talking.

Shui Ziliu stopped Luo Shibin and said slowly: "Zhou Bingkun, it is true that we approached you first, but if you think you can ask for a high price like this, then there is nothing we can talk about."

Zhou Chen shrugged and said, "There's nothing to talk about, so let's not talk about it. I'm a little sleepy too, so I'm going to go back to sleep now."

Shui Ziliu's face turned dark. He didn't expect Zhou Chen to be so disrespectful to him. He watched Zhou Chen get back into the car and prepare to leave.

He gritted his teeth and said, "At most 30% off, this is our bottom line. If you agree, we will do the deal now, and the price will be the same in the future. If you don't agree, then forget it."

"make a deal."

Zhou Chen's straightforward agreement made Shui Ziliu's face even darker. He felt that he had been completely fooled by Zhou Chen.

He was naturally angry, but even though his income was reduced by 30%, he still made some profit, just much less.

"Here's the money, where's the stuff?"

After calculating the price, Zhou Chen took out the money and asked Shui Ziliu.

Seeing the money in Zhou Chen's hand, Luo Shibin's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but look at Shui Ziliu.

Shui Ziliu said calmly: "We have put the things away, come with us."

He took Zhou Chen to a corner, then Luo Shibin dug out a small bag and handed it to Zhou Chen.

"Pay with one hand and deliver with the other hand."

Zhou Chen looked at the food coupons, meat coupons, etc. in the bag and handed the money to them happily.

After Luo Shibin handed the item to Zhou Chen, he happily borrowed money and started lighting the cigarettes.

Before long, both parties had ordered the quantities.

Shui Ziliu smiled. Although they earned less this time, the amount was still large, so they still made some money.

"Zhou Bingkun, it's a pleasure to work with you. If you need tickets again in the future, you can come to us directly, but you will have to go to another place in the future."

This was exactly what Zhou Chen wanted, but he didn't show anything on the surface. He just said lightly: "We'll talk about the future later."

After saying that, Zhou Chen ignored them and left directly. He was sure that Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin would look for him again in the future, so there was no need for him to look for them at all.

Luo Shibin counted the money again, and after counting, he exclaimed: "Fuck, Brother Shui, this guy is really rich. Is the salary at that publishing house high?"

Shui Ziliu was not as greedy as Luo Shibin, and said calmly: "Whether his salary is high or not has nothing to do with us. For us, as long as we can make money from him, it is enough."

"Will we look for him again in the future?" Luo Shibin asked.

Shui Ziliu thought for a moment and said, "For safety reasons, don't look for him again for a while. Wait until you are sure that he is okay before looking for him again."

"Okay, Brother Shui, we have this money, so we can have a good New Year. We will go to the black market to buy some good wine later."

"You can buy wine and things, but you still have to be low-key."

"Don't worry, Brother Shui, I'll do the work, you can rest assured."

Shui Ziliu silently took out a cigarette and put it to his lips, and Luo Shibin quickly took out a match and lit it.

Chapter 565 Gong Weize, the unbalanced Zhou Rong couple

"This water flow is quite alert."

After leaving Taiping Hutong, Zhou Chen was quite surprised when he thought of Shui Ziliu's decisiveness.

In the drama "In the World", Shui Ziliu was originally Luo Shibin's elder brother, but later as Luo Shibin's business talent emerged, Shui Ziliu gradually took the lead and Luo Shibin became the dominant brother between the two.

From being the big brother in the past to being suppressed by the younger brother in the end, he was able to handle the relationship between the two sides very well. Just from this point, we can see that Shui Ziliu is not a simple person.

But judging from Zhou Chen's two contacts with them, his evaluation of Shui Ziliu is definitely higher than that of Luo Shibin.

To be honest, in the TV series, the contrast between these two people is really big.

The original think tank boss turned into a drag, and the younger brother who was only good at fighting recklessly turned into a business genius.

Although this era is quite special, many people suddenly became rich after the reform and opening up.

But Luo Shibin, a man who had barely gone to school for a few days, eventually became a business tycoon. He spoke with great momentum, as if he knew everything at once.

In Zhou Chen's opinion, such a change was indeed a bit abrupt, as if Luo Shibin had become the protagonist and Shui Ziliu had suddenly become less intelligent.

Of course, Zhou Chen just felt it was weird and did not think it was absurd. There were so many strange things in this world. In the past ten or twenty years, too many uneducated people suddenly became rich, and many of them did not even graduate from elementary school.

However, although Shui Ziliu was of some ability, Zhou Chen did not take him too seriously. From the moment he agreed to the deal, these two people had already fallen into his calculations.

After entering the Guangzi area, Zhou Chen rode towards his home. Suddenly, a man appeared in front of him, which scared Zhou Chen and he quickly braked.

"Zhou Bingkun, why did you come back so late?"

Zhou Chen looked closely and found that it was an acquaintance.

"Uncle Xiao Gong, why are you here? It's so late, are you still on patrol?"

It turned out that the person who suddenly appeared was Gong Weize, the police officer of Guangzi area. Although he was a generation older than Zhou Chen and his friends, he was not much older, so people of Zhou Chen's generation called him Uncle Gong.

Gong Wei walked closer and sighed, "There's nothing I can do. Someone recently reported that someone in our Guangzi block was speculating and scalping tickets behind the scenes, so the higher-ups asked me to patrol more and see if there are any suspicious people."

"You've really had a hard time. It's so cold and dark at night."

"Who made me do this job, Bingkun? You are the most promising kid in our Guangzi neighborhood. I heard that you are dating a girl from Taiping Hutong and you are going to get married soon?"

Zhou Chen said: "Yes, my partner is Zheng Juan, and we plan to get married on the sixth day after the New Year."

Gong Wei smiled and said, "That's great news. I will definitely go and show my support when the time comes."

"Thank you, Uncle Gong."

"Of course, we are all from the same village, but will your father and his family come back for the New Year?"

"Since they are not coming back, we are not planning to hold a big wedding. We will just invite some close relatives and friends to witness it."

"That's such a pity. You've become so successful now. If your father saw you, he would be very happy. I remember that you were scolded by your father a lot when you were a child, unlike your brother and sister. By the way, are your brother and sister okay now?"

"Everything is fine." Zhou Chen responded politely.

Speaking of Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong, he really didn't pay much attention to them. He cared about Zhou Bingyi a little, but he was too lazy to care about Zhou Rong.
