Chapter 180 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong "Chizi, you, this border trade permit, can you..." "Hey, Brother Bin, don't even think about it. These three certificates of mine just happen to correspond to the commodity categories of three foreign trade companies. I can't give them to you." Zhang Chi hurriedly put the three border trade certificates into an envelope and tucked them under his armpit like treasures, while also turning sideways to hide. Seeing this, Chen Bin said speechlessly: "Of course I know that the border trade permit is useful to you. What I mean is, who did you find to get it? Can you recommend that person to me?" "recommend?" Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and shook his head decisively, "I don't think it will work. I don't know how to repay the favor of these three certificates. If I get you another one." Zhang Chi didn't finish his words, but his meaning was clear. He was not afraid that Chen Bin would be angry or think he was narrow-minded. After truly understanding how difficult it was to get a certificate, he believed that Chen Bin would understand. He didn’t know before that the border trade permit was so difficult to get. Now that he knows, he feels a little embarrassed to face that kid Yuan Chao. If he were to bother him again because of Chen Bin, Zhang Chi really couldn't bring himself to do it.
Chen Bin smiled awkwardly when he heard this. He was actually just asking. If the border trade permit was so easy to get, he wouldn't have to worry so much. As for Zhang Chi's decisive rejection of him, he didn't think it was a big deal. He knew very well that their relationship was not good enough to be like one person. I can only say that we met too late. If we had met earlier, maybe we would have had a chance. It seems we have to start with the second generation in Nanyue Province. Chen Bin came back to his senses and looked at the Chevrolet Impala next to him, intending to give it one last try. I've spent millions of dollars, I can't let it go to waste. Even if he really can't do it, he still has to get some benefits back. Chen Bin's things are not so easy to get. After the two chatted for a while, Chen Bin drove away. Zhang Chi then walked into the store and took out the three border trade certificates again and looked at them. He really didn't expect that the border trade permit would be so difficult to obtain and had so many uses. With a border trade permit, you can set up a multinational trading company in the city, and the company's legal person can even travel abroad without a visa. There are many other benefits that are unimaginable for ordinary people. After listening to Chen Bin’s popular science explanation for a long time, Zhang Chi is now eager to try it out. "First, we need to open the company. It's a bit low to always use the auto repair shop's public account to deal with people." "What would be a good name?" "Still called Feichi?" Zhang Chi sat at the cashier counter with three bills in his hand, smiling and daydreaming about a bright future. He didn't notice anyone walking in at the door.
"You brat, why are you giggling?" Zhang Chi looked up and laughed, "Good news." Fu Li looked at the border trade permit in his hand suspiciously, and then said, "Didn't you say you wanted to recruit people from your grandmother's village? There just happened to be few tourists this afternoon, so I'll go with you." Zhang Chi heard this and nodded. He also happened to be going to visit his grandmother and uncle, and I don't know if he is used to driving the school bus. "I'll put my things away first, wait for me." Zhang Chi put the border trade certificate into a locked drawer, walked to the door and informed Gangzi and Chen Hui, then drove Lao Zhang's Passat with his mother to his grandmother's village. Fu Li's parents' home is separated from Xiasha Village by a river. When there was no bridge before, people had to take a ferry to travel back and forth. Now that the bridge is open, traveling has become much more convenient. As we drove all the way into the village, all we saw were some idle old men and women sitting on the roadside chatting. This village is literally in the mountains. There are almost no young people in the village, only old people and left-behind children. The left-behind children all go to school, leaving only a bunch of elderly people at this time. Zhang Chi put his eyes into searching mode and soon found his grandmother Hong Xiuping in the crowd. Hong Xiuping is 73 years old this year. She looks very energetic and goes to the stage to dance square dance every night. She has also participated in a square dance competition in the city as a representative of Shamen Town. "Xiuping, isn't that your son-in-law's car?" "Where?" Hong Xiuping looked in the direction the villager pointed, her eyes visibly curved, and she stood up smiling. Seeing this, Zhang Chi smiled and honked the horn twice. Fu Li rolled down the car window, leaned out and shouted, "Mom, I brought Chizi back to see you." When Hong Xiuping heard that her grandson had arrived, she smiled even more happily. She said something to the people around her, and several middle-aged women looked at Zhang Chi who was driving. Then everyone pointed at Zhang Chi and praised him. It must be said that Zhang Chi is now a well-known figure in the area. It's not because he is rich, nor because he is handsome. Instead, he got a big win, twelve consecutive holy grails, which is not something that ordinary people can get. Especially in the eyes of the older generation, this is a blessed person favored by God. "Grandma, get in the car, I'll take you home." The car stopped in front of the old people. Hong Xiuping walked over with a smile and nodded with satisfaction at Zhang Chi.
Before, because Zhang Chi was 30 years old and still not married, she was often gossiped about by her old sisters. Every time she talked about this, she got so angry that her liver trembled. I never expected that my dear grandson had changed so much after not seeing him for a few months. As long as this man has money and ability, he can marry a wife at any time. Now, Hong Xiuping is admired by many people in the village. She also knew that all these changes were brought about by Zhang Chi. "Haha, it's just a few steps away. Drive forward and the car will be parked in the yard. Grandma will go open the gate for you." "No need, grandma. I'll just park on the side of the road. Don't bother. It's easy to park in but hard to get out." Zhang Chi got a headache whenever he thought of the small courtyard of his grandmother's house. He remembered one time when he drove his uncle Long Jingfeng's pickup truck to help his uncle move things. As soon as the front of the pickup truck turned in, the body of the truck came into close contact with the corner of the wall of the neighbor next door. I don't know why the neighbor had to move a big stone to the corner of the wall. He was a novice at the time and didn't pay attention, so he directly scratched two car doors. From then on, he didn't dare to drive there anymore. Whether his driving skills were good or not was another matter, but the main reason was that he had psychological trauma. Grandma forced a smile and nodded, "Okay, then we'll stop by the roadside and walk in." Zhang Chi didn't notice the change in the old man's expression. He nodded, drove a short distance forward, and parked the car in front of a house's door. Fu Li even went into the yard to say hello to people. This is in the countryside. If you block the door without saying a word, you will forget about getting your car. Zhang Chi got out of the car and watched his mother chatting with the neighbors while waiting for his grandmother to come back. "Grandma, are you alone at home? Is my uncle home?" Hong Xiuping came closer and shook her head, saying, "Your uncle is not at home because he is at school." "Oh." Zhang Chi helped his grandmother walk home. Looking at the weeds growing on both sides of the narrow road, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Why don't you trim the grass? The road is actually quite wide, and there shouldn't be any problem for a car to pass through." Hong Xiuping smiled bitterly and said, "The villagers are not so easy to talk to. Besides, it costs money to build roads. Who is willing to pay for it?" Zhang Chi said "Oh". After walking more than ten meters inside, I saw two houses. One of them was naturally my grandmother's family, and the other was the family that had placed the stone in the corner before. Zhang Chi took a look and found that the stones were gone. Now there were a lot of potted plants and other things placed there, blocking most of the path which was not wide to begin with. Zhang Chi said speechlessly: "This road is a public village road. Why did his family put the potted plants here? It's really annoying." When Hong Xiuping heard this, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. The Fu family is small, with only one male, Uncle Zhang Chi. Moreover, he is almost forty and still has not started a family. It is inevitable that the villagers will look down on him and even bully him. This is the case with my neighbor next door. A nice road is occupied by his house for most of it.
Hong Xiuping and Zhang Chi's uncle had argued before, and they almost came to blows several times. It even alarmed the village committee. But when they saw the people from the village committee coming, they obediently moved the potted plants into the yard and moved them out after the people left. The people in the village committee couldn't do anything about their family. After listening to his grandmother's story, Zhang Chi couldn't help but frown. Isn’t this bullying? Zhang Chi glanced at the other party's tightly closed courtyard door and his eyes narrowed instantly. As we all know, when a man squints, he is either nearsighted and can't see clearly, or he is starting to feel bad. At this time, Zhang Chi is obviously the latter. My grandmother is old and it is inconvenient for her to walk when she goes out at night. If she accidentally bumps into or steps on a potted plant and falls, who will be responsible? It's not that I want to blackmail people intentionally. But I don’t want the elderly to suffer. Of course, the most important thing is the face of the old Fu family. This has been bullied to the face of the family! After half an hour. The large yard of my grandmother's house was full of people. If there are not enough chairs, just move one yourself and sit on it. There were also quite a few old men and women who came to join in the fun, and they were all chatting and laughing with Grandma Hong Xiuping. Of course, the focus of the topic is inseparable from the purpose of Zhang Chi’s trip. Several village cadres sat in a circle, praising Zhang Chi like stars surrounding the moon. The village chief is a relative of the old Fu family, and when mother Fu Li sees him, she has to call him brother. He should be in his early 40s, with a bald head, and looks very mature. "Chizi, you mentioned recruiting people. I have already made a preliminary list with the villagers. Take a look. If there is anyone you don't know, just ask me." Zhang Chi took the list, glanced at it, frowned and said, "Uncle, don't worry about the list. I want to ask if anyone from the family next door has applied for the job." The village chief was startled when he heard this. Several village cadres also looked at the family diagonally opposite at the same time. After the village chief withdrew his gaze, his heart skipped a beat and he naturally knew why Zhang Chi suddenly brought up this. He is not stupid. Uncle Zhang Chi almost had fights with his neighbors several times, and he was the one who mediated. Now Zhang Chi suddenly asked about the family across the street, and I was afraid that they came here specifically to vent their anger on his uncle. Thinking of this, he looked at a middle-aged man next to him. "Ayao, is your elder brother home?" The middle-aged man named A Yao smiled bitterly and nodded.
Seeing this, the village chief looked at Zhang Chi. Zhang Chi raised the list in his hand and asked, "Is he on the list?" The village chief was stunned. The middle-aged man named A Yao was also stunned. Zhang Chi saw their expressions change and knew that their promise was about to come out. My younger brother is a cadre in the village committee, so he will naturally not forget his elder brother when something good happens. Zhang Chi glanced at A Yao and frowned, "Nothing else. I think I can distinguish between gratitude and resentment. Since the two families are unhappy, let's just cross him out." As he said this, he handed the list back to the village chief. The village chief glanced at A Yao and said with a wry smile, "Chizi, can you please be flexible? I will ask them to move those things away from the door later." A Yao also nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, I will ask him to move out immediately. Chizi, don't be angry, I will go now..." Zhang Chi was about to get up and walk out when he heard him say that, but his steps were obviously not brisk enough. I know he is unhappy. Zhang Chi smiled and said nothing, let alone trying to stop him. Seeing that Zhang Chi was so disrespectful to him, A Yao frowned, and felt that his shoulders were heavy when he stood up. Sure enough, the next second Zhang Chi said in front of everyone, "Originally, when I came to our village this time, I wanted to recruit more people. You know, a sea fishing boat or a fishing boat cannot have only one captain, and people in other positions are also needed." When everyone heard this, their eyes immediately lit up. "Chizi, how many people do you need? I'll arrange them for you right away." The village chief also patted his chest and started to make promises. Since the fall of the Chen family, dozens of villagers have become unemployed. There are especially many in their village, with more than 20 unemployed people. Many of them used to work for the Chen family and beg for a living. Some of them drove ships out to sea, and some worked on the packaging assembly line in the factory. These people have one thing in common: they have no cultural knowledge. They have been doing one job for decades, and if suddenly asked to do something else, they wouldn't be able to do it. Now that they had finally got new customers, the village chief naturally wanted to try his best to accommodate all of them. Less than three months after the Chen family fell, many families were unable to make ends meet. If they continue to be unemployed, there will be big problems. But what does this have to do with Zhang Chi? Zhang Chi smiled and shook his head, saying, "Not now. I just heard what my grandmother said and it still feels a little difficult to cooperate. I'll just do the same as our village and only need 10 boat drivers." "Uh, Chizi..." The village chief's expression changed. It feels like a roller coaster. Although if you really want to talk about it, he is more or less Zhang Chi's elder.
But he really didn't have the confidence to face Zhang Chi now. Nowadays, whoever has money is the boss. Zhang Chi knew what he was going to say and waved his hand to signal him not to say it. Then he looked towards the path in the yard, half of which was occupied by various potted plants. The meaning is self-evident at this point, even a fool can understand it. The middle-aged men in the yard looked at each other, especially those who had a good relationship with the family next door, they couldn't laugh at this time. Of course, there are good relationships and there are also bad relationships. A bald man stood up in the crowd, looked around, picked up a shoulder pole he used to carry water, and rushed out. The village chief saw this and hurriedly shouted, "Big Head, what are you doing? Don't mess around!" Before everyone could react, the sound of ping-pong was heard outside. I saw the bald man taking a carrying pole and smashing all the potted plants of the neighbor next door. At this time, the neighbor who had been hiding in his yard and peeking could no longer bear it, and hurriedly opened the door and shouted: "Big Head, I provoke you, why are you smashing my things?" The big head, that is, the middle-aged man, held the carrying pole and said angrily: "I don't care who owns it. If it's blocking my way, I will smash it!" This sentence is a pun. Blocking the road can also be understood as blocking the road to wealth. Datou has three children in his family, one of whom is a college student and two are high school students. They spend a lot of money every month, and he also has two elderly parents to support. Less than three months after he became unemployed, his family began to lose money. It can be said that no one here needs Zhangchi's job more than him. Now it has been a month since the fishing season started. He sees that all his former colleagues have made money, while he is still stuck at home. He is anxious. "How am I blocking your way? Is your home here?" Because of Big Head's sturdy build and terrifying aura, the man didn't dare speak too loudly. Zhang Chi raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that he was also a bully who only feared the strong and bullied the weak. That would be easy to deal with. I'm tough enough now, so I'll bully you. Immediately, Zhang Chi shouted to Datou: "What's your name? Are you on the list?" Datou was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said, "My name is Fu Shuisheng. I'm applying for the position of captain of a fishing boat. I have more than ten years of experience in the industry." "Fu Shuisheng...Oh, I found it." Zhang Chi nodded and said with a smile, "You are very good. Report directly next Monday. In addition to the monthly salary of 8000, I will give you 10% of the catch of the fishing boat as a performance reward. In other words, you are not only the captain, but also my partner. The more fish you catch, the more you earn." "Oh, really, really!" Fu Shuisheng opened his mouth wide. This surprise came too quickly. You know, if a fishing boat is lucky and encounters a school of high-priced fish, the revenue from one trip may reach millions. Even if a boat only catches 100 million fish, 10% of it would still be 10!
Not only Fu Shuisheng, but everyone else also had expressions of surprise and admiration on their faces, especially those who, like Fu Shuisheng, had previously driven fishing boats at the Chen family. Among them was the master who led Fu Shuisheng. He was the captain, and Fu Shuisheng used to be his first mate. "Um, Mr. Zhang, actually I..." Zhang Chi glanced at him and knew from the way he stood that he had a good relationship with his neighbor next door. So he sneered and said, "I don't want to hear anything, I just want to see the actions." The man frowned and looked at his neighbor, unable to make a decision for a moment. However, it is not easy for him to choose, and there are people who help him choose. As soon as Zhang Chi finished speaking, seven or eight people rushed out and started smashing and hitting the potted plants of the neighbor next door. Some even bumped into the neighbor. Seeing this, Zhang Chi not only did not stop him, but instead watched him as if he was watching a good show. If a fight really breaks out, he is not afraid. The worst that can happen is that he will have to pay tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses. However, he has the money to hire a lawyer, so the worst that can happen is that he will just hold the case for a few years. Today Zhang Chi had a dispute with him. Who doesn't bully the weak and fear the strong? You are bullying your grandma and uncle because there is no one at home. Today I will show you what real bullying is... Zhang Chi immediately shouted, "You, yes, you, your treatment will be the same as Fu Shuisheng's from now on." The man who had deliberately bumped into his neighbor next door was immediately delighted when he heard this, and the others instantly found the highlight. "Done!" "Fuck, who told you to block the way here? You made me fall when I came in just now, do you know that?" Neighbor next door: “…” (End of this chapter)
