Senior sister, please stop crying. I am really not a scumbag.

Chapter 41: Xinzhou's Rules

"Do you know this Ninth Brother?" Yang Hao was very curious.

Wang Zhipeng was amazed, stuffed the business card back into Yang Hao's bag, motioned Yang Hao to keep it safe, and then began to talk about this Ninth Brother.

He said that in Nanmen Bridge, the name of Brother Jiu is well-known, especially in the vocational college. Many students dream of getting in touch with Brother Jiu. As long as Brother Jiu waves his hand and gives some resources, they can make a lot of money. Just like Zhou Ming from the University of Finance and Economics, he drives an Audi at a young age. Zhou Ming, an ordinary student, can achieve his current success thanks to Brother Jiu's help.

It is said that Zheng Jiu was once a member of the Yaozi Club and is now the owner of a food city. There are more than a hundred small shops in the food city, and Zheng Jiu makes a lot of money every year just from rent and advertising fees. In addition, Zheng Jiu also runs a KTV, a bar, and a labor dispatch company. Among the original members of the Yaozi Club, Zheng Jiu is the best. Zheng Jiu is also a well-known entrepreneur and successful person in Baiyun District.

This is only Zheng Jiu’s industry on the surface. Who knows if he is also running some gray industrial chain in secret?

Li Xing was amazed. "So, this Brother Jiu is a well-known figure in Nanmen Bridge."

Wang Zhipeng held a cigarette in his mouth, resting his head on his crossed hands, and said calmly, "That's right. Among the many big brothers in Nanmen Bridge, Brother Nine is the only one who can be considered unique. Only now that the Yaozi Society has collapsed and we are living in a society ruled by law, otherwise Brother Nine would definitely be the one who carries the banner. If not the leader, he would at least be the head of a hall."

Yang Hao remembered that when Brother Jiu called just now, he said something he didn't understand, so he asked Wang Zhipeng, "By the way, Xiaoniao, Brother Jiu just mentioned something about 'horse farm' and 'horse money', what do they mean? He also runs an equestrian club?"

Wang Zhipeng looked amused. "This is slang. 'Machang' means casino. You know, it's not the kind of chess and card room, but a real casino. The kind that can have tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in turnover in one night is illegal. 'Maqu' means loan sharking. Money that is compounded with interest is called 'Maqu'. Do you think those people who have lost so much money are thinking about turning things around? They open casinos to make money from this."

Yang Hao felt a chill in his heart.

It seems that this Ninth Brother is not as kind as he seems, he is a ruthless person.

Wang Zhipeng said that Zijiang Bath City is also the property of Yaozi Society, so it should be very safe. Moreover, the captain of the team that came to raid pornography today is a criminal policeman according to Brother Jiu, so this matter is definitely not as simple as a raid on pornography, and it is probably aimed at Brother Jiu.

Li Xing was puzzled. "Even you know that Brother Jiu secretly opened a horse farm and paid horse money. The police must know it too. Then why don't they just arrest Brother Jiu and interrogate him? If he is taken to the police station, he can make any confession he wants."

Wang Zhipeng sneered: "Do you have any evidence? As the saying goes, to catch a thief, catch the dirty. You don't have solid evidence, so you can only summon him for one day at most. Besides, do you think that Brother Jiu has been hanging around for nothing these years and has no connection at all?"

Li Xing thought so too.

At this point, Wang Zhipeng pondered, "Think about it. If you are caught soliciting prostitution, you will be fined and detained for 15 days. If Brother Jiu goes to jail, even if it's only for a short 15 days, it will be a situation where there is no leader. Brother Jiu is in there, even if he has connections, he can't use them for the time being. Although the police may not be able to detain him for the full days, even a few days is enough for the police to do a lot of things. Of course, this is just my personal guess."

After a few people chatted for a while, the matter was dropped.

As for the fact that Ninth Brother wanted to treat Yang Hao to a meal, Yang Hao didn't take it to heart. For a busy man like Ninth Brother, it was probably just a polite remark.

After this incident, Wang Zhipeng no longer has any dirty thoughts. Even if he does, Zijiang Yudu would not dare to provide any services for the time being.

The next morning.

A few people put on their clothes and prepared to check out and go back to school, but the lady at the front desk said that their bill had already been settled by Zheng.

Yang Hao thought that he had thought that Brother Jiu was just joking, but he didn't expect that he actually settled the bill, which saved Li Xing a lot of money. The happiest person was undoubtedly Wang Zhipeng. Yesterday, he and the young lady had discussed software hardening engineering technology in the small box for a while, but Li Xing broke in. Before they could enjoy themselves, the police came.

Wang Zhipeng survived the ordeal, but at the same time he was very upset, because the agreement was to add 10 hours, one "Slender Jade Finger" was 88 yuan, 10 hours was yuan, although the spell was interrupted, but the money still had to be paid, how could Wang Zhipeng have the courage to do it in Zijiang Yudu? Just when he was ready to suffer a loss, he never expected that Brother Nine would even pay Wang Zhipeng's bill.

The three of them ate a bowl of mutton noodles on the roadside. They had drunk alcohol yesterday and were very thirsty early in the morning. They had to drink a bowl of hot soup to satisfy their thirst. After eating, they returned to school.

Today is the weekend, and I have to go get my books. I will start formal classes every day for five days, and then we will have National Day.

In the evening, Shi Lei said he wanted to hold a class meeting in classroom 4206. One reason was to organize the election for class leaders, and the other was that he had reached the end of his term and it was the counselor's turn to preside over the meeting. He also suggested that the whole class go out for team building in the evening, but it was up to the students to decide whether to go or not.

"Haozi, you don't really want to get in touch with Brother Jiu, do you?"

"I have this idea."

Yang Hao has already faced up to a reality: doing business is not as simple as imagined. It does not mean that you can do it just because you have an idea. There are many more objective issues involved.

Take the simplest example.

If Yang Hao started to implement his entrepreneurial plan at the University of Finance and Economics, maybe after just one month, someone would imitate him and have more abundant resources. It would be a pure business war. The other party would steal his ideas and do better, and he would ultimately only be able to serve as a foil.

Starting a business is not as simple as imagined and requires several key elements.

A sound business plan.

Sufficient start-up capital.

Be familiar with local rules and local policies.

A noble person helps you.

As well as a flexible mind, tactful dealings with people, and strong interpersonal relationships.

Every place has its local rules. Yang Hao is not clear about other places, but now he understands one thing: there is a set of rules in Nanmen Bridge.

People in Yaozi Society eat meat, people in small shops drink soup, outsiders can only watch.

This is true for regular business, let alone irregular business.

Originally, Yang Hao planned to invest in the real estate market after he made enough money. He knew where there would be demolition and where the prices would increase. He thought that this would make money faster and with less risk. But now he felt that even if he knew this first-hand information and had money by then, he would not be able to get a piece of the pie. Maybe someone had already secretly marked the price and distributed the benefits.

Li Xing thought about it for a while, still worried, "But I always feel that Brother Jiu is not a good person. This is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger."

Yang Hao smiled and said, "I am doing a serious business. It's like before doing business in a place, you always have to pay homage to the local mountain, don't you think so?"

Li Xing smiled, "It seems so."
