Zhou Chen sneered: "Do you think I would delay my important business for such a small amount of money?"
"Okay, then, you said you still have a batch of tickets, so you can take them now and I'll go back to get the money. It's a token of our sincerity for our next cooperation. How do you think?"
Seeing the water flowing naturally, Zhou Chen added fuel to the fire.
Of course he didn't have two or three thousand, but he still had a few hundred yuan. In addition to his salary, he also had income from his creative works over the years. Apart from giving a part to Zheng Juan, Li Suhua didn't ask for his money later, so most of the money was saved by him.
He still has a few hundred dollars left after renting a house, buying furniture, getting married, etc.
If he could get rid of Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin with just a few hundred dollars, he wouldn't feel bad at all. As for money, he would have plenty of opportunities to make it in the future, so he didn't care about this little bit of money.
Shui Ziliu shook his head and said, "It's not enough. You have to take over the goods we have, and you have to give us a portion of the deposit. Only then can we continue to resell tickets for you, An Xin."
"No, you are not reselling tickets for me, but for yourselves. You and I are just a simple buyer and seller. I can give you a deposit of 100, but you have to know that it is not easy to get this deposit. If you don't meet my requirements by then, don't blame me for not remembering our friendship."
When he said this, Zhou Chen exuded a powerful aura. The majesty and tyranny of a superior made Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin's faces change suddenly.
They didn't expect that Zhou Chen, who looked gentle and refined, would suddenly become so scary.
"it is good."
Shui Ziliu didn't hesitate any longer and agreed directly: "Go get the money now, and we'll complete this transaction first."
Zhou Chen didn't say much and went home immediately to get the money.
An hour later, the three met at the agreed place, and one handed over the money and the other handed over the goods.
This time, Shui Ziliu and his friends had quite a lot of tickets, which were worth more than two hundred yuan in total. Adding a deposit of one hundred yuan, Zhou Chen gave them more than three hundred yuan.
After getting more than 300 yuan, Luo Shibin's eyes were red. This was the largest income they had earned in recent years. In order to buy these tickets, they had taken out all their belongings, owed a lot of money to others, and even had several fights.
Now seeing the results, Luo Shibin feels that everything he had done before was worth it.
Although he took out more than three hundred yuan at once, Zhou Chen's expression did not change. It seemed that he suffered a loss by exchanging money for tickets, but it also depends on the situation.
Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin didn't dare to use so many tickets, but he could use some of them. This was the difference between a gangster with a proper job and one without a job.
He worked in a publishing house and was a deputy editor-in-chief. His company often issued food coupons, meat coupons and the like, so he didn't have to worry about being checked.
But Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin are different. They have no jobs and have no way to get tickets. If they often use the tickets to buy things, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others.
"This hundred is a deposit, but I will only give you one month. If you can't get what I want, not only will you have to return the hundred to me, but we will never have any more contact in the future. Do you understand?"
Zhou Chen warned Shui Ziliu in a stern tone.
Shui Ziliu said confidently: "Doing business requires both parties to be willing. I understand what you mean. If we can't get what you want, we know what to do."
Luo Shibin suddenly said, "What if we get bicycle tickets, TV tickets, plane tickets, and other good things, but you don't have the money or don't want them? What then?"
Shui Ziliu didn't say anything. He also had concerns in this regard. After all, although those tickets were good, they were not so easy to sell. Not everyone had the money to afford them.
Zhou Chen said coldly: "As long as you can get it, I can afford it. If you can't afford it, our house in Guangzi Pian will be mortgaged to you."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin's breathing became heavy.
Of course they knew about the Zhou family's house. Even in Guangzi District, it was one of the best and of extraordinary value.
People like them don't have their own houses at all, and they don't have any property rights to the place where they live now. If they can get the Zhou family's house and the property certificate, they can get a city hukou. With a hukou, they don't have to hide from place to place...
Compared to money, a house with clear property rights, household registration and tradable properties makes Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin more excited.
"You won't lie to us, will you? Can you make the decision about your house?"
As soon as Zhou Chen saw Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin's expressions, he knew they were moved, so he said in a positive tone: "I am the boss of our family now. You all know that I have moved to a new house. I didn't want to live in the Guangzi Pian place in the first place. If my old man hadn't been reluctant to part with it, I would have sold it and bought a new house long ago."
Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin looked at each other. They both envied Zhou Chen's family for having such a nice house, but it turned out that other people didn't even like it. It was true that comparing yourself with others will make you angry.
Luo Shibin said in a deep voice: "I hope you don't lie to us, otherwise, we are not easy to mess with. I know that your wife lives in Taiping Hutong, and there is an old man and a blind brother in the family..."
Shui Ziliu's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted, "Binzi."
But it was too late. Zhou Chen suddenly moved and kicked Luo Shibin.
They were not far away from each other to begin with, and Zhou Chen was too fast. Even though Luo Shibin was prepared, he still underestimated Zhou Chen's speed and strength.
"boom!"
Zhou Chen kicked Luo Shibin directly in the chest. Luo Shibin was hit hard and his body flew backwards uncontrollably for two meters before falling down.
"Binzi."
Shui Ziliu was horrified and immediately wanted to step forward to stop Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen swung a punch at him. Although Shui Ziliu put his hand in front of him, the huge force hitting his arm still made him stagger back several steps. His left ear was buzzing, as if he had lost his phonation.
Zhou Chen sat on Luo Shibin, grabbed his collar, lifted his head up, and slapped him directly.
"Snapped!"
Luo Shibin was completely confused at this moment. Zhou Chen was merciless. He kicked him in the chest causing severe pain, and slapped him so hard that two of his teeth fell out.
"Zhou Bingkun, let go of Binzi."
Shui Ziliu ignored his own pain and shouted at Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen shouted: "Don't come over, or I will kill him."
Seeing Zhou Chen slap him again, Shui Ziliu stopped walking instantly and looked at Zhou Chen and the wailing Luo Shibin with a nervous face.
"Zhou Bingkun, let's talk it out. If you beat Binzi to death or maim him, you won't have a good ending."
Zhou Chen's eyes were cold and murderous as he said, "What I hate most is when someone threatens me, or threatens me with my family. Do you really think I don't dare to kill anyone?"
Although he has never killed anyone, if the people he cares about are threatened, killing is not impossible. With the system in his possession, he has long gone beyond the boundaries of normal people.
After all, he is a man who has watched thousands of crime movies. If he really killed Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin and handled the matter properly, law enforcement officers might not be able to find him.
But that is the last step after all. Even if he is confident, he doesn't want to go that step if he doesn't have to kill someone himself.
Shui Ziliu was frightened by Zhou Chen's appearance, but Luo Shibin was even more frightened. He saw Zhou Chen staring at him with red eyes and a murderous look, and his heart was beating wildly.
His threat just now was just out of instinct. After all, there was so much money involved and they had done this many times before.
But he didn't expect Zhou Chen to be so ferocious. He started attacking him as soon as they disagreed with him, and now he looked like he wanted to kill him.
He is brave and aggressive, but that is towards others. When it really comes to himself, he is also very scared.
"Zhou, Zhou Bingkun, don't mess around. If you kill someone, you will be shot."
Luo Shibin shouted to Zhou Chen in horror. He didn't have any ruthlessness left at all. He just wanted Zhou Chen to let him go.
Shui Ziliu also tried to persuade him with a nervous look on his face. He did not dare to do anything, for fear that Zhou Chen might lose his temper and do something cruel to Luo Shibin.
"Zhou Bingkun, Binzi didn't do it on purpose. If you let Binzi go, I will let you make 10% of the profit next time we do business."
"Binzi, apologize to them, quickly."
Luo Shibin was so frightened that he kept apologizing. His mouth was full of blood and he looked horrible and embarrassed.
"If saying sorry is enough, what is the point of having police?"
Zhou Chen was merciless and slapped Luo Shibin several times again. Luo Shibin's face was already swollen like a pig's head.
After a few consecutive hits, Zhou Chen finally felt a little relieved. He did not use any more ruthless methods. After all, he had no experience in killing people. If he did not handle the method well, he might be in trouble.
It is not worth it for him to sacrifice himself for someone like Luo Shibin. After all, in this era, killing someone will result in death by shooting. He still has the main task to complete and cannot leave this world.
Standing up from Luo Shibin's body, Zhou Chen clapped his hands and walked aside.
Shui Ziliu rushed to Luo Shibin's side immediately and helped him up.
"Binzi, how are you?"
"Ahem, I'm not going to die yet, Shui, Brother Shui."
Luo Shibin spat out the blood in his mouth with difficulty, and looked at Zhou Chen with hatred, but there was also fear hidden in his eyes.
Although Zhou Chen had the upper hand, he did think about resisting after being knocked down. However, Zhou Chen pressed on him so hard that he could not move at all and could only passively take the beating.
Zhou Chen looked down at Luo Shibin and said coldly: "This is a warning to you. If it weren't for your usefulness, you would definitely not survive today."
"Water flows naturally, Luo Shibin, listen to me, if anything happens to my family, I promise to make sure you two die without a burial place."
He knew that Luo Shibin's words just now were meant to make him cautious. If they were really asked to take action against Aunt Zheng and Guangming, they might not have the courage to do so.
But even so, Zhou Chen was not willing to gamble. He had already made up his mind that he must get rid of these two people as soon as possible, especially Luo Shibin.
"Half a month. I'll give you half a month. If you can't get what I want, hehe."
After saying this, Zhou Chen ignored them and turned around and rode away on his bike.
He saw fear in Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin's eyes and knew that they would definitely not dare to actually do anything to their families.
This is the current Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin. If it were Luo Shibin more than ten years later in the plot, Zhou Chen would not let them go.
"Brother Shui, this kid is too arrogant. Should we still help him?"
After being beaten up by Zhou Chen again, Luo Shibin was angry and aggrieved, and he wished he could cut Zhou Chen into pieces.
Shui Ziliu sighed slightly and said, "Binzi, you were too impulsive just now. Why did you have to say such threatening words when you could say something else? You have seen how powerful Zhou Bingkun is. To be honest, I was really afraid that he would kill you just now. The look in his eyes just now was really scary."
When Luo Shibin heard this, he recalled Zhou Chen's murderous look just now, and his heart trembled slightly.
"I don't believe he really dares to kill me."
"What if? Is it necessary to risk your life just to make money?"
Although he is a gangster, Shui Ziliu never likes to use force to solve problems unless it is absolutely necessary.
But facing Zhou Chen, due to the difference in martial arts strength, he never thought of fighting with Zhou Chen. He felt that Luo Shibin really couldn't control his mouth.
Luo Shibin said depressedly: "I'm afraid that guy will cheat us. After all, what he wants is not easy to get. If we lose it, it will be the end."
After all, they have been brothers for many years, and Shui Ziliu no longer blamed Luo Shibin.
"Alright, let me talk to him from now on, and don't say anything else. Zhou Bingkun looks like a cultured man, but when he gets ruthless, he's even more ruthless than any of us."
Luo Shibin was also muttering in his heart. They had originally looked for Zhou Chen because they thought Zhou Chen was a cultured person and would be easily fooled. But who would have thought that in the end, they would be the ones who were fooled.
"So we still need to help him get the ticket?"
Shui Ziliu gritted his teeth and said, "Do it."
"..."
A string of swear words burst out from Luo Shibin's mouth. He was beaten by Zhou Chen, but he still had to help Zhou Chen. He felt so aggrieved.
But he didn't realize that it was they who sought Zhou Chen, not Zhou Chen who sought them.
They were the ones who wanted to make money from Zhou Chen in the first place, and now they have to accept this result.
Zhou Chen looked unhappy on his way home. Luo Shibin's threat made him very angry, but also a little uneasy.
After all, this era is not a few decades later, and murders and arson happen frequently. We just haven’t encountered them before, but they do exist, so we have to be on guard.
"Luo Shibin, this must be resolved."
Zhou Chen's eyes flashed with coldness. Originally, he just wanted to put the two men in jail and pretend that he didn't see them.
But Luo Shibin's words today made him realize that simply putting them in jail would be too easy for Luo Shibin, and the problem must be solved once and for all.
"Luo Shibin must be dealt with, but it's best not to do it through me."
Before returning home, Zhou Chen had already thought of a plan.
A few days later, Zhou Chen found out the information he wanted and planned for a few more days. One night, Zhou Chen took action.
No matter what era it is, there will always be a shortage of idle thugs. There are simply too many small thugs like Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin.
The target Zhou Chen is looking for this time is a group of people who are engaged in ticket scalping business just like Shui Ziliu and his gang.
Even if they are just small-time thugs, they need strength in numbers. For these small-time thugs who don't have a proper job, ticket scalping can be said to be a business that makes money relatively quickly. Although there are risks, they can definitely make money.
Shui Ziliu and Luo Shibin were a well-known ticket-scalping gang in the Guangzi area, but they also had competitors, more than one, which was why they often fought in the past.
Du Laosan walked into the alley swearing. Due to the recent crackdown, their ticket scalping business has become increasingly difficult, but they have to do it, as their whole family depends on the money he earns to live.
Du Laosan is in his thirties this year. He has two children, both of whom are growing up. Sometimes they eat more than him.
Before the founding of the country, he just hung out in the alleys. Later, when the country became stronger, he did not become rich, but still hung out, brave and aggressive. When he was young, there were several people who were destroyed by him. He was a real ruthless character.
Later, after he got married, he became more restrained and started some small business. However, since he couldn't make money from the regular business, he started to make money through side businesses.
He used to make a lot of money by doing shady business, but a few years ago, he was almost arrested. Since then, he dared not do anything out of line again.
He only started reselling tickets a few years ago. Since he has a lot of gangsters under him, he is doing well in the ticket reselling business.
However, in recent years, many people have started to engage in this business, which has led to serious internal competition and made buying and selling increasingly difficult.
It’s not that Du Laosan has never thought about doing something else, but people like them have long been notorious and have no chance of working in a decent unit. If they don’t do these speculative businesses, their family will not be able to survive.
