Overseas Chinese organizations are very particular about etiquette, especially in weddings and funerals, which require attention to details and the whole process.
Gu Tongshan is an elder of the General Association of Coders, and he has previously served as the leader of the Zannan Code Gang, and he also has a temporary position in the Longcheng government unit, so his prestige and connections in this circle are naturally extremely prosperous.
Death is the greatest, and the people from the General Association of Coders discussed it and immediately began to prepare a very grand funeral for Gu Tongshan.
The Code Gang was busy that night, and the negotiations with the police station were not mentioned for the time being.
Let's just say that the next morning, after Gu Tongshan's mourning hall was set up at the General Association of Coders, Xu Hu had already put on mourning clothes that only sons could wear, and began to receive guests who came to pay their respects in the mourning hall.
Last night, Wei Xiangzuo was actually busy all night, so this morning, he directly told the elders of the code gang: "I'm sleepy, go back to sleep."
In this way, Wei Xiangzuo did not show up during the day, but found a place and slept soundly, as if he had no emotional fluctuations about the death of his master.
Xu Hu was different. He was really moved. When he received guests during the day, he always had tears in his eyes, his eyes were red, and his voice was trembling.
After working all morning, at noon, the Code Workers Association prepared meals, and the mourners went to eat, and there were fewer people in the courtyard.
Xu Hu sat next to the coffin in the mourning hall, burning paper money while saying to a middle-aged man in a suit: "Old Wu and the master were killed together, and you Longkou are now leaderless."
"Yes, there was a commotion last night. If I hadn't suppressed it, the people in Longkou might have gone to raid the homes of Su Bai and Kong Sanjia last night." The middle-aged man replied in a low voice.
"It's not suitable to make trouble now." Xu Hu burned paper money and said calmly: "We have to be more active."
The middle-aged man looked down at him and slowly bent down: "How active?"
"Nick was also arrested and he is probably going to die." Xu Hu whispered back: "These people were lost in Longcheng. Warhammer will probably send someone."
The middle-aged man paused for a while and picked up the apple in front of Gu Tongshan's spirit tablet: "Yes, the old man of the General Association was still discussing this morning. Now that Mr. Gu is gone, what should be done with the plate in Zhannan."
Xu Hu raised his head and looked at him with bright eyes: "Warhammer's goods are expensive, limited, and must be exclusive. If we continue to do it according to the previous model, the brothers below... won't make much money."
The middle-aged man bit the apple with a big mouthful of fruit, and juice dripped from the corner of his mouth: "Old Xu, just say whatever you want to say."
"I don't want to do Warhammer's goods anymore." Xu Hu said bluntly: "Change to a new channel!"
"The old men may not agree to this. Although Warhammer's products are expensive and limited, they have been cooperating with our Code Gang for so long, and the price is transparent to the upper level." The middle-aged man turned his head and looked around, and said in a low voice: "You are setting up a new channel, and you are the one who negotiates the price. For the old men... this is uncontrollable. Who knows how much money you negotiated? They will be suspicious."
Xu Hu looked up at him: "You dare not do it."
"It's hard to say whether I can take over the position of Longkou District Leader now. Do I dare to make the decision?!" The middle-aged man curled his lips and replied: "Last night, Lao Wu died. Several bosses in Longkou were sitting in the hall. They quarreled and almost took up guns to shoot each other. Brother, the country is not stable, how can I talk about policy?"
Xu Hu burned paper and whispered: "If you work with me, I guarantee that you will take the position of Longkou District Leader and let you be the leader."
"Can you do it?" the other party asked.
"I will do my best to help you. If it works, I will take you with me when we negotiate the price with the new channel. From now on, I will not charge you a penny for the goods in your Longkou District. We will buy them at the same price." Xu Hu narrowed his eyes and looked at him and said, "You know me. In business, I always keep my word."
"Can you tell me who supports you in the General Association?" the middle-aged man asked.
"Let me put it this way. If the purchase of goods requires a vote from the elders, I now have at least 30% of the votes in support, not counting the support of the customs. If someone from each hall also jumps out to speak for me, then this matter can be accomplished." Xu Hu replied.
The middle-aged man took two bites of the apple, stood up and replied, "Okay, I'll do it with you!"
"Okay, I'll take you to meet the supplier of the new channel later." Xu Hu nodded.
"That's it. I'm going to eat." The middle-aged man threw the half-eaten apple into the trash can and turned away.
In the coffin, Gu Tongshan, who was crushed to pieces, was still lying quietly. After Xu Hu met the middle-aged man, he met another customs officer.
"Can you hold the plate?" The officer stood beside the mourning shed with his hands behind his back.
"I have to rely on your support! The code helps to move the goods, but it depends on the face of our customs." Xu Hu smiled and replied: "If you agree, then we can do it; if you don't agree, then we can't do it. The old men understand this."
"How do you divide the profit?"
"On the basis of the original, I will give the upper level another 10%." Xu Hu replied softly: "The goods from the new channel are cheap to begin with. If we can do long-term business in the future, the price can still be suppressed. In short, the profit margin will not be small."
"Okay, that's it."
"Before the people from Warhammer come, we have to show our attitude."
"You arrange it." The officer threw down a sentence and turned away.
Xu Hu stayed in the courtyard for a day to keep vigil and met at least a dozen people. The master died, which made him very busy.
Until the evening.
Wei Xiangzuo came over with sleepy eyes, bent down and sat under the mourning shed, and asked directly: "When will you avenge the master?"
"Xiangzuo, you must first stabilize the country before you can resist foreign aggression! The situation in Zhannan is turbulent now!" Xu Hu replied.
Wei Xiangzuo was silent for three seconds, then stood up and replied: "Okay, then you continue to be turbulent here, and I will go find the murderer."
After that, Wei Xiangzuo left expressionlessly.
Xu Hu looked at him, waved his hand and shouted: "Xiaofei!"
"What's wrong, help me?"
"The interest that was not settled last month needs to be delayed, and it will not be settled this month." Xu Hu looked at Wei Xiangzuo's back and continued in a low voice: "Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand." Xiaofei nodded.
"Also, release those people from the Security Bureau immediately. I will ask for forgiveness later."
"Got it!"
...
In the evening, Captain Niu and others were released. He immediately called Yu Mingyuan's cell phone, but the latter sent a text message directly, asking him to contact Su Tianyu.
While Su Tianyu was busy dealing with the follow-up incident, he received a call from Captain Niu: "Hello?"
"You guys are such a jerk! Why didn't you tell us about your follow-up plans? Do you know how passive I am?! There are dozens of people, they just surrounded us and beat us up, and even my work ID card didn't work." Captain Niu cursed: "You are treating us like guinea pigs, right? Ah?! Who are we working for? You are so rude!"
"You misunderstood, this is a long story..."
"What the hell! Hurry up and get someone to pick me up. I don't know where those people left us. We don't have a car..."
"Then where are you?"
"If I knew where I was, would I need to call you?!"
"Are there any landmarks where you are?"
"No, it's on the beach, there's a big pit..." Captain Niu replied unhappily.
