If you understand human nature, you can do anything!
Most people are idiots. As long as you know how to control them, you can manipulate anyone at will!
The restaurant was in a mess, and the tableware was broken on the floor.
Lawyer Wu was lying next to the overturned chair, and the Montblanc frame fell into his hand. But he was like a dying toad, with his belly bulging out and completely unaware of what was going on.
There were two other unlucky guys lying on the dining table. The woman’s face was splashed with vegetable soup and oil stains, and the man’s head was stuck on a plate of sauced beef.
“Huh! If you three are not unjust, anyone else would have to stand down!”
Hong Yanwu had already rinsed his mouth and spit out all the remaining alcohol in his mouth. Now he is sitting in a chair, admiring everything in front of him with a sneer. This is the result of his directing.
This bottle of wine was indeed purchased for 500,000 yuan. As soon as he bought the wine, he filled it with an anesthetic called “Mian Naining” with a needle.
The main component of this anesthetic is xylazine. In addition to anesthesia, it can also cause extreme bone and muscle relaxation. It was originally used by veterinarians to anesthetize large animals such as cattle, horses, and even black bears and tigers. He also got it through a big brother who runs a deer farm in the Northeast.
To test the effect, he gave a black bear a needle. As a result, the bear just trembled a few times and fell asleep, paralyzed on the ground, like a boneless chicken. But now Lawyer Wu and his wife are exactly the same as the **** bear back then, with the muscles on their bodies as loose as mud. It is no exaggeration to say that the effect of this thing is no less than that of things like Ten Fragrance Ruanjin Powder and Sadness Breeze in martial arts novels. In 1998, in the famous anesthesia and kidnapping case of the New Oriental principal in Beijing, the criminal used this kind of injection.
Of course, he poured the medicine into the wine. The medicine was not as fast as the injection, but it was far more powerful than sleeping pills. Anyway, if Lawyer Wu and the couple want to wake up, they will have no chance for at least 24 hours.
In fact, the reason why this trap works so well is not because Lawyer Wu is not cautious. One is because time itself is the best cover. That bottle of wine had been hidden behind the bookshelf for nearly ten years. No one could have imagined that this would be a trap set ten years in advance. Second, because the wine is such expensive aged Moutai, people are easily misled by its high value. No one can imagine that someone would waste such a good thing to make sweat medicine.
However, Hong Yanwu grasped these two blind spots in his thinking, so he did so, and always used it as a life-saving means just in case. Facts have proved that it is very effective.
But didn’t Hong Yanwu drink too? How could he be okay?
That was just because after putting down the wine glass, Hong Yanwu immediately pretended to eat noodles. When he picked up the bowl, he took the opportunity to spit the wine into the bowl. Silently, it went down the wall. If there isn’t a lot of wine, you won’t be able to notice it at all if it’s covered in noodles.
If Lawyer Wu could understand all this, his biggest feeling would be just one sentence – not that our army is too incompetent, but that the enemy is too cunning.
“Dang, Dang, Dang…”
The vertical clock in the corner rang, indicating that the time had reached 19:00 pm.
Hong Yanwu knew that time was tight and immediately started doing business. He started with Lawyer Wu and quickly got the car keys. This is what he cares about most. The time for his escape must be chosen when Lawyer Wu comes to visit, because the cars in the garage have long been emptied, and he can only escape with Lawyer Wu’s car.
Next, he found the mobile phones of the three of them, and he removed the batteries from all of them while they were powered on. In this way, whoever calls will only get a response of “the number you dialed is not in the service area.” Ordinarily, snowy weather is actually not conducive to escaping, but it has this advantage. It can provide a reason for not being able to make a call, and it can delay Gao Ming’s awareness to some extent. As for the landline phone in the house, there is no need to worry at all. It was canceled by Gao Mingtong when he was imprisoned.
Finally, he found an equity transfer agreement worth three billion from Lawyer Wu’s briefcase, and took it into the bathroom next to the living room. There, he not only wanted to destroy these things, but also wanted to take a good bath to get rid of the dead smell on his body.
“Wow…”
Three cell phone batteries, mixed with the ashes of burned documents, were flushed into the toilet in a rapidly flowing stream of water. The three mobile phones found on Lawyer Wu and the couple were also soaking in the sink filled with water.
Under the warm light of the bathroom, Hong Yanwu saw himself in the mirror for the first time in half a year.
That is an aging face. His beard was unkempt, shriveled and gray, like a piece of old **** that had been standing for a long time.
Who is it? who is he?
Hong Yanwu’s first reaction was to be shocked. He walked closer to the mirror. Compared to his high-spirited self in the past, he felt chilled by the image in the mirror.
His white hair is as pervasive as weeds, and it is sparse, unable to cover the scars on his forehead where stitches were stitched. Hunger and weakness had made his face pale, and his lips were cracked due to lack of moisture. The dark circles under his eyes were so severe that he looked like a mental patient, and his eyes were only distorted and numb.
His whole body in the mirror exudes the smell of decay. No matter what angle he puts it at, no matter how hard he looks closer, all he sees is a dying body.
Is this me? Is it really me?
Hong Yanwu showed a wry smile in the mirror. He knew the cause of this disaster very well. But he never expected that he would turn into such an inhuman and ghostly appearance.
More than twenty years ago, it was Gao Ming who introduced him to a powerful “big shot”. It was this “big man” who proposed to co-found a large real estate company with them.
The “big shots” promised that all rules and regulations from bank loans to project approvals would not be a problem, but what they needed to do were some shady activities. For example, to “persuade” the stubborn households who are unwilling to relocate, or to “pacify” the troubled workers to ensure the construction progress. Perhaps at some point, you have to “hint” some ignorant competitors to withdraw voluntarily. Of course, they also need to come forward to “build relationships” with leaders of some “important” departments.
“Persuading”, “pacifying” and “suggesting” are undoubtedly what he is good at. The task of “building feelings” is assigned to Gao Ming. There is a clear division of labor and everyone performs their duties, so there are no operational problems.
The only thing that bothered him was that the “big shot” wanted to monopolize 70% of Xinjing’s rights. If this is the case, he and Gao Ming are just shopkeepers, not the real boss.
But after some consideration, he finally figured out that despite his humble background, he could not build a building even if he worked hard all his life. Isn’t this just a matter of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade?
What’s more, the “big shot” can only hold dark shares in Xinjing, and the registered legal person is still his name, Hong Yanwu. So he felt that he was taking advantage no matter what. If he is not happy, the worst he can do is overturn and refuse to admit his fault. He is afraid of a ball.
After Xinjing opened, under the care of the “big shots”, various government departments really opened the door for them. Not only did they get a loan, they also got two pieces of good land. During the demolition process, the “big shots” also praised Gao Ming for his “ability to do things” and praised Gao Ming for finding the right person.
This is truly a sincere collaboration and everyone is happy. He also takes it for granted that the “big shot” and he truly need and complement each other, and his interests can be enjoyed forever.
But he was wrong.
The wealth of Xinjing Group is growing bigger and bigger, from a “golden chicken” that can lay golden eggs to a fat “golden pig”. But if the pig becomes fat, the owner will probably kill it.
A year ago, Gao Ming came to talk to him on behalf of the “big shot”. I want him to transfer 40% of his equity to a financial company that appears out of nowhere for a price of only one billion.
It was only then that he woke up. It turned out that the company’s operations had already been on the right track, and now there was no need for those shady methods. And his “tide bottom” (a slang term referring to criminal experience) background has also become a drag on the group’s reputation. Moreover, he also discovered that the “big shot” and Gao Ming seemed to want Xinjing to go public.
He knew very well that the 10% he should have owned would have been worth three billion even if it had not been listed on the market. What’s more, once it goes public, the equity value will double.
He has always been the only one who takes advantage of others, but he can’t swallow this. So, after several discussions with Gao Ming, he reluctantly agreed to the request. Secretly, he tried to delay as much as possible and contacted a foreign consortium that could afford the price, hoping to mortgage all the equity in his name.
Of course, equity mortgage cannot be based on market price, and the price must be greatly discounted. But the advantage is that the time cycle is short and there is no need to convene a board of directors.
The initially negotiated price is US$1.3 billion. This much money will be enough for him in his next life.
He planned to go abroad as soon as he got the money, otherwise he would be dead.
This is indeed a race against time. Although he still lives a life of drunkenness and dreams on the surface, he is always on guard in a panic.
But the reason why the “big man” is a big man is not only because he is wide and fat but also because he has a big head. He also has greater abilities. Somehow, in the final days of closing the deal, his secret dealings came to light.
At this time, he was immersed in the joy of succeeding, and had no idea that the “big shot” had become popular.
So, under the calm conditions on the surface, Gao Ming’s “knife” cut off his back, eventually turning him into a “patient” who suffered an accidental “stroke”.
What a bowl of dichlorvos given by the emperor!
Up to now, he has actually reflected on his fate countless times. He finally understood that the biggest mistake he had made in his life was to be greedy for profit and seek wealth and honor. And he had been living in a fantasy before, thinking that he could be treated equally by these “noble-born people”.
In fact, he has been pursuing equality since he was a child.
At that time, the kids in the compound were awesome, so he would fight with them. Later, he started to make money in various ways. Later, when he started a company, he worked hard to build a real estate group with more than a dozen subsidiaries. He has been struggling in society all his life, trying every means to compare himself to those who looked down on him and let them know that he, Hong Yanwu, is different from other children in the alley. But what now?
Thinking about it carefully, even he himself admits that some people are born to be superior to him. Whether internally or externally, he never really dared to be on an equal footing with the “big guys”. Thinking back to his past interactions with “big shots”, he felt so embarrassed now.
What made him most ashamed was that when the “big man” praised him for the first time, he felt proud and even grateful.
What do you think? He is a truly upper-class person, and his family’s hands can reach to the top power centers. Why did he just fall in love with me? What an honor, what an honor, what an honor.
It’s not terrible that a person is cheap. What’s terrible is that he is cheap but doesn’t realize it. He just doesn’t know it.
The “big shot” whom he flattered never really thought highly of him. Although he always had a smile on his face, they just regarded him as a valuable “minion”.
To be honest, he can’t even compare to Gao Ming. “Big shots” always have a high regard for Gao Ming and like to discuss the company’s decisions and direction with him. This is all because Gao Ming is also a disciple of the big courtyard, and they have similar life circles and growth experiences.
He can often feel a strong sense of distance from the way and content of conversations between “big shots” and Gao Ming. These “noble-born people” only believe that each other is the only person who can be friends. Their bones always reveal the pride of being superior to others, and they feel that they are born to be the leaders of everything. More than once, he heard the word “big shot” or “Hutong Chuanzi” uttered loudly, showing ridicule and disdain for the grassroots people. He understood that the word referred to him.
For so many years, he has never dared to think deeply about whether he felt inferior. This idea has been consciously avoided by him. He has always used the empty name of a legal person to reassure himself, always deceiving himself and telling himself that Xinjing is ultimately his.
He really didn’t expect that when these “noble-born people” thought that he had lost his use value, the name of his legal person would not be worth it. And when they cornered him, leaving him with no way out, and wanted to take away all his property. That look is no different from that of a butcher looking at a cow or sheep waiting to be slaughtered, or an owner looking at a dog about to be skinned.
They are not apologetic at all. No one apologizes, and the winner certainly doesn’t bother to apologize to the loser.
In their minds, a “hutong kid” like him probably only deserves this kind of result.
People, it’s best not to understand the truth of the matter and stay in the dark forever.
Things in the world are like a layer of window paper. If the window paper is broken, you may completely lose the courage to live.
