Heavy Industry Empire

Little Rock nodded: "Okay, I understand,"

Qiao laughed and said, "Let's go then. We have a house in Zhabei. You three can settle there. If you have any problems you can't solve, remember to come here for help."

"Okay, here we go,"

Little Rock, Luo Kecheng, and Yang Xiong three came out and went to the yard. Each of them got on a bicycle with big wheels and flew towards Zhabei.

When little Rock came to Shanghai this time, he realized that the days before were simply heaven. When he first arrived in Shanghai, Qiao Da arranged for three people to train. The training mode is completely similar to that of special forces, except that there are fewer firearms and more knives and axes. , running and practicing knives all day long, the body is exhausted, but at night, the work is not over yet, blowing whistles, knocking gongs, and shouting from time to time can make people collapse, what's more, when you sleep, you will feel more tired. Be careful, someone hits you with a big stick. Although the big stick is just for show, it won't hurt your muscles and bones, but it still hurts all the time. Little Rock always got hit in the first few times, but later he learned to be smart and used a thin thread It is made into a simple small mechanism, and once someone comes to attack, it will wake up, and then it will be counted as passing the test. The instructor said well, the operation department is extremely dangerous. Working in the hinterland of the enemy, you will not only face The gun is even more stabbed in the back.

The distance from the French Concession to Zhabei is quite a distance, more than 20 miles. After leaving the concession, you will find the suburbs. There are farmlands stretching as far as the eye can see. Many people are sorting the straw. In previous years, most of the straw was directly burned or fed to their own buffaloes, but now the straw can be used. In exchange for money, the Pudong Power Plant purchased straw in a big way. Although the price is frighteningly low, it is still an extra income. Sometimes Mr. Du would show kindness by distributing some salt, sugar and other items to farmers who donated straw.

When Little Rock came to this place called Zhabei, he was still stunned by the sight in front of him. The low houses of rotten wood were connected one by one, the streets were full of sewage, and there were dry, skinny stray dogs. Wandering around looking for food, the only commercial street here is the prosperous one. It is called Xingfu Road Commercial Street. It is about one kilometer long. There are buying and selling shops on both sides. There are all kinds of shops, such as brothels, pawnshops, pharmacies, There are more than 200 cloth stores, grain stores, restaurants, etc., as for the smaller merchants hiding in the alleys, the whole area is a forgotten slum, with a scale of about 5 to [-] people. , There is no government office, no yamen, it's a mess, only at the end of the month, people from the tax bureau will come to the merchants to collect taxes, and they will run away immediately after collecting, I'm afraid this poorness will be on them.

Looking at all this, Yang Xiong was a little discouraged, and said to Little Rock: "Brother, let's play with the boss, why did you leave such a shabby place to us?"

Little Rock glared at him: "How long has it been since I came to the Operations Department, but I still haven't made progress. Everything is done from the beginning. The head of the family is thoughtful. If we start from the younger brother, I don't know that it will be the year of the monkey to have a bright future, but , starting from a small place as the leader, then everything will be different, as long as we develop Zhabei well, see if everyone will look at us with admiration, "

Yang Xiong nodded: "You have a good eye, and Rock and I will listen to you, what to do, what to do, you speak up,"

Little Rock said: "Don't think about anything now, go clean up our nest first,"

One of the strongholds of the action here is an old-fashioned house on the back of the slum against the wilderness. This house should have a history of at least a hundred years. It has mud walls, old wooden doors and windows, six main rooms, and two sides. There are six wing rooms, as well as kitchens and toilets.

Looking at the dust in the yard, and the broken doors and windows, Little Rock said: "Yang Xiong, I leave this place to you. Luo Kecheng and I went out for a walk to understand the situation. When I come back, I want to see a clean house. "

"Ah, so much work, I can't finish it in three days alone," Yang Xiong said with a bitter face.

Little Rock said: "You need to work with your brain, not your strength. Don't tell me it's difficult, it's useless."

After all, Little Rock took Rock into the street for a stroll. It was already around twelve o'clock in the noon, and the streets began to be lively. Soliciting business, all hope to make some money from this rare business.

The two walked along, and soon arrived at a small restaurant, which was really small. There were two cooking stoves at the door, and a rotten wooden shed with reed mats on it.

"You two, do you want to eat? I have good meat dishes here." The owner of the restaurant is a fat young man in his twenties, holding a sharp kitchen knife, cutting meat on the chopping board.

"What kind of meat, is it delicious?" Luo Kecheng asked, now he is also a member of the operation department, with a guy strapped to his waist, he has become more courageous.

"Pigs in the water are guaranteed to be delicious," said the fat man.

Little Rock looked at the fat man and said, "One plate of pork liver, one plate of pig intestines, and four steamed buns."

"Okay," the fat man said happily. Obviously this is his business today. The pigs are afraid of being spoiled in summer, so they are kept in the pot for a long time. The fat man quickly cut two plates After ordering the goods, bring them up, not to mention, the taste is really good.

After the two of them finished their meal, they planned to ask the fat man to cut a plate and prepare some lunch for Yang Xiong. At this time, trouble came. There were more than a dozen rogues, all of them staring at each other. It was not a good thing at first sight. Walking in, the flesh on the fat man's face couldn't help shivering.

"Everyone, here you go, what do you want to eat?" Fatty asked with a forced smile.

"Damn you, you have owed the money for three months. Today is the deadline. If you can't pay it again, your stall will be confiscated. It will be distributed to those who can pay it to open the shop," the leader of the gangster said. drank.

The fat man was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, please do me a favor. Originally, the business was okay these few days, but my mother is very sick and takes medicine all the time. All my money has been used to buy medicine for her."

"Bastard, if you have money, you don't even have to pay for the old man's medicine. Brothers, give him a long memory,"

"Okay," everyone agreed, and smiled at the fat man with short sticks, steel pipes, machetes and other weapons. Everyone rushed up and threw two sticks at the fat man. What kind of deadly weapon was used, punched and kicked, and the fat man screamed again and again after a good meal.

Luo Kecheng touched the back of his waist, wanting to make a move, little Rock pointed at the fat man, and Luo Kecheng stopped moving again. The fat man seemed to be screaming, but he didn't hurt anything.
