Friday, April 8, 1977.
On the afternoon of this day, “Xiao Leizi” under the “Old Ghost” found Hong Yanwu who was still intercepting and hunting “Bacha” and “Little Landlord” on the streets of Qianmen Street, and made a special trip to bring him A “bloody post”.
The so-called “blood post” is actually similar to the concept of “chicken feather letter”. It is the highest-level invitation letter in the “player” circle. As the name suggests, the content of the “post” needs to be printed in blood by the inviter and the host, which means “Invite to the death, and if we don’t meet, we will become mortal enemies.”
The “blood post” Hong Yanwu received was a piece of letter paper in an envelope. After opening it, there was no other text except the time and place of the appointment.
If there is anything unusual about it, it is that on the right side, where the inviter is represented, there are five thumbs printed in blood. In the upper middle of the letter paper is the position representing the middle finger, with three middle fingers printed in blood. The position on the left is reserved for his side. If he can find a helper, he will also have to put a blood seal of his thumb on it. But these fingerprints are not something that ordinary people can press. Only a prince must be qualified to do so.
Seeing that Hong Yanwu had read the “blood post”, “Xiao Leizi” told the whole story. He said that “Bashi” and “Little Landlord” had begged the “old ghost” yesterday and wanted to make peace with Hong Yanwu. truce.
Although the “old ghost” didn’t want to get involved in this matter, he only said at the beginning that the strong is respected, the fierce is great, and the winner is king. I want “Bacha” and “small landowners” to solve the matter by themselves and don’t want to get involved.
But after knowing the situation, “Yaozi” from Qianmen and “Dail” from Tianqiao also came to visit the “old ghost” together. They said that this time they must invite the “old ghost” to come forward and take charge of the plan. Otherwise, if this continues, the market will be in complete chaos, no “Buddha” will dare to take to the streets, and no one will have food to eat.
In this way, the “old ghost” could not refuse due to human feelings, so he had no choice but to reluctantly agree to work with “Yaozi” and “Nail” to mediate the matter.
As for the other supporters of “Bacha” and “Little Landlord”, “Xiao Leizi” also told Hong Yanwu that they were “Gongzi” from Yongding Gate, “Big Laofi” from Guang’an Gate and You’an The “old man’s bag” outside the door.
To be honest, first of all, the “Old Ghost” is the “tiger” in the entire Nancheng “player” circle, and his skills and fame are due to this. No matter how unhappy Hong Yanwu was, he would not dare not give up this face. Otherwise, if he offended this recognized big brother, he would become the target of public criticism, and he would definitely be attacked by a group of people in the future.
In addition, this “bloody post” also played into Hong Yanwu’s plans. He made a desperate gesture just to force the other party to sit down and negotiate. At this time, he realized that “Bacha” and “Little Landlord” really couldn’t bear it anymore, and the opportunity to completely solve this matter came.
So, he happily told “Xiao Leizi” that he would accept the “blood post” and return it to the original after having his fingerprints printed tomorrow. He would definitely attend the appointment on time in three days. From now on, his pursuit of “Eight Forks” and “Little Landlords” comes to an end, and everything will wait until the discussion is over.
“Xiao Leizi” is quite satisfied with this. Perhaps he has been worried that Hong Yanwu will openly refute the “old ghost”‘s face without knowing the importance. Now that he had completed the task, he seemed to feel relieved. He nodded to Hong Yanwu and went back to resume his life.
Chen Liquan learned the news after get off work. Although he knew that things would develop as Hong Yanwu originally expected, he was relieved and also knew that confrontation and tension between the two sides in such peace talks were inevitable. It does not mean that the other party will agree to all their conditions. Maybe there are still people who are thinking of jumping out to take the lead on this occasion, and there is a certain possibility that it will turn into a “Hongmen Banquet”. Therefore, he was also worried and advised Hong Yanwu to find more people to help him so that nothing could go wrong.
“Except for ‘Red Leaf’, I can’t pull anyone’s head.”
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu resolutely rejected Chen Liquan’s idea as soon as he opened his mouth. His reason is that no matter how the matter ends, he will owe a debt of gratitude afterwards. For “Hongye”, they can still repay them with full ownership of the No. 19 bus line, but if they invite others, they may have to continue to wallow in this bad circle in order to repay their debts in the future.
“Quanzi, this time we not only want to get the money, but we also want to completely escape from this bad circle and return to a normal life. If there are any more unclear connections, it will be more than worth the loss.”
It’s not that Chen Liquan didn’t understand what Hong Yanwu meant. He was just worried that the disparity in numbers between the two sides was too great, and that the other party would get hot-headed when they saw that there were so few of them. Then the good situation that was finally achieved step by step will be in vain. The most important thing is that they don’t really want to fight hard after all, otherwise they will refuse to spit out the money. So what should Hong Yanwu’s father do with the money for medicine?
“No. It’s the ‘Bacha’ and the ‘Small Landlord’ who took the initiative to make peace. They didn’t choose to organize a ‘big ballad adze’ to fight us, which proves that they have been cowarded! Naturally, I want to take it Back to the original two thousand yuan, they must have expected it, but…”
Speaking of this, Hong Yanwu’s eyes flashed with coldness again, “I can’t just take advantage of them, I have to give them more money…”
These words conveyed the intention of getting worse, prompting Chen Liquan to immediately frown. “Why is this necessary? Can’t we just achieve our goal? What’s the point of making extra trouble? What if we push them into a hurry?”
Hong Yanwu naturally knew what Chen Liquan was thinking and quickly explained again.
“Quanzi, don’t think that I am greedy. To be honest, this is a last resort. Do you still remember the ’empty bottle’ I told you? In fact, the real ‘player’ The meaning is similar. The person who has nothing and plays with his head on the tightrope is the player. Therefore, the most important rule of the player is that you can never be a coward! If you are timid, you will lose your head immediately. ‘Bacha’ and ‘Little Landlord’ lost this battle because they took the initiative to throw away the knives in their hands, and we can only survive by continuing to be arrogant and tough. The only way to retreat is.
This statement is quite clear and has great weight. Chen Liquan couldn’t help but fell silent, and after a moment he said, “I kind of understand what you said. As long as it’s you, I believe it. What should we do next? Should we go directly to the appointment, or do something else?”
“For the sake of caution and just in case, of course we have to make some extraordinary preparations. But the purpose of everything is still to make them think that we can risk ourselves and smash everything to pieces at any time. Empty bottle. Man, this advanced animal is very strange. People are afraid of being stunned, and being stunned is afraid of death. Acting must have a beginning and an end. This is the biggest key to achieving all our goals. ”
At this point, Hong Yanwu looked solemn. He took a breath before continuing in deep thought.
“Quanzi, you have to understand that if we only agree to their conditions according to our own bottom line, things will change badly, because they will never be willing to accept it. This is like bargaining when buying something. You have to agree to the price. No matter what, the other party will feel that it is a loss. If we judge others by ourselves, they may see through our true thoughts and regret it. But if we put forward the conditions in the name of wealth at the beginning, we will end up in a stalemate. When you give in a little bit, the other party will often accept it happily…”
In fact, Hong Yanwu’s last detailed explanation was originally intended to let Chen Liquan understand more about the principles and techniques in the negotiation field. Unexpectedly, due to some factors that he ignored, Chen Liquan became confused.
“Bargaining? How do you bargain when buying something? The prices of things in stores are always fixed!”
Hong Yanwu couldn’t help but be speechless. He looked at Chen Liquan’s confused face, and for a moment he really didn’t know what to say…
In Fuzhouguan Street, Hufangqiao, Xuan (Wu) District, Nancheng, there is a medium-sized “Jinghua Restaurant”. The specific location of this restaurant is just south of the Workers’ Club in Xuanwu District, so it’s very easy to find.
In fact, this is the predecessor of the stewed stew restaurant that became famous in Beijing for its pure taste and enthusiastic service. But these days it is still state-owned, and the only items it operates are simple stir-fries, rice and noodles. Frankly speaking, the taste is really unsatisfactory and the chef’s quality is really not that good.
But don’t look at it like this. Due to the geographical location and the fact that there are not many restaurants these days, “Old Ghost” is a frequent visitor to “Jinghua Restaurant”. Moreover, he also got along well with the people in charge, and they had developed a close relationship after many years of dealing with them. Therefore, the “blood post” issued in his name set the negotiation address here.
On April 11, 1977, Monday, the negotiation took place at 9:20 p.m.
After the “Jinghua Restaurant” closed, it temporarily became a gathering place for Nancheng game owners. The fires on the two stoves were still burning brightly, tea was placed on all the tables, and the seats were almost full. The nine “handles” included the manpower they each brought, more than fifty people, and Black Crow. The crow sat for a while.
Due to the emphasis on this negotiation, most people arrived early, including the three middlemen “Old Ghost”, “Yaozi” and “Nail”. It’s just that Hong Yanwu’s people haven’t shown up yet, which naturally makes many people feel awkward and angry, and they start to chatter about dissatisfaction and disrespect. However, since there are still ten minutes before the formal negotiations begin. All relevant people have to continue to wait.
To be honest, the person who has the biggest headache right now is “Hongye”. This is because he found that Hong Yanwu only invited him as a “hands-on” to boost his momentum. And until now, the real leader has not come yet, so as the only one who supports Hong Yanwu, he can only bear all the negative emotions and firepower of the enemy side by himself.
