Chapter 30 Winning Hearts and Minds
"Let me go! You all took my money, you can't treat me like this!"
Shen Jingsheng was held down by several homeless men, and he frantically twitched his body, but to no avail.
Shen Jingsheng never expected that Wang Yang would pull this stunt, causing these homeless people to defect.
These people not only betrayed him, but they also fought so hard that he couldn't even run away.
Although the homeless men were not as physically fit as Shen Jingsheng, they had the advantage of numbers.
Two people holding down one foot can always keep him pinned down.
For these people, it would take a month of odd jobs to earn 100 yuan.
Sometimes, it's not even possible to find odd jobs.
With so much money already given, what more can you say? We'd give our all, Brother Wang!
"Wenqing, distribute the money to the brothers."
"Brothers, bring him here!"
Wang Yang took out a stack of money, all of them were 1980 edition blue-black 100-yuan bills, with reliefs of four leaders engraved on them.
Upon seeing the money, the homeless men became even more frenzied, each punching Shen Jingsheng once, completely subduing him.
"Stop hitting me, brother. I was wrong. I shouldn't have come here to cause trouble."
Shen Jingsheng covered his head and curled up on the ground.
The homeless man hit him hard, leaving him covered in bruises.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I didn't ask them to beat you up. I'm asking them to come over here."
Wang Yang quickly waved his hand, explaining that he only wanted to deal with the homeless people's problem, but he hadn't said he wanted to hit anyone.
We are legitimate business people, we don't do those things with organized crime.
"You bastard, I've finally been tricked by you today."
Shen Jingsheng slowly got up from the ground, sat down, and looked at Wang Yang in front of him.
It was clearly Shen Jingsheng who paid the homeless to cause trouble, but in the blink of an eye it became Wang Yang who paid the homeless to deal with him.
"Oh, you dare to insult me?"
"How much did that guy surnamed Chen charge you?"
Wang Yang squatted down and looked Shen Jinsheng straight in front of him.
How did you know?
"Oh, I was right."
"You son of a bitch, you're trying to trick me into telling you something."
On Chun'an Street, most of the shop owners became friends with Wang Yang after buying motorcycles, and he had very few enemies.
They were just fellow car repairmen, or Chen Jiande and his nephew Chen Haitao from the neighborhood committee.
The neighborhood committee signed a contract but didn't do anything; it's obvious who did it if you think about it for a second.
"You're not from Chun'an Street, are you? Tell me, how much money did that guy surnamed Chen give you to come and cause trouble?"
Upon hearing Wang Yang's question, Shen Jingsheng turned his head away, clearly not wanting to speak.
As a hoodlum, Shen Jingsheng was somewhat different from ordinary hoodlums; he still had a bit of loyalty to him.
"This money is yours. Tell me how much the guy surnamed Chen gave you."
Wang Yang took out two hundred yuan and placed it on the ground.
In this era of doing business, there are some things you have to be wary of, and Wang Yang had the idea of bribing Shen Jingsheng.
Wang Yang already has a Hong Kong business background and has received support from the planning bureau, so security needs to be strengthened.
"two hundred!"
Shen Jingsheng was stunned, finding it hard to believe.
This Wang Yang in front of me looks so young, where did he get so much money?
First, he gave each of the homeless people 100 yuan, and then casually threw 200 yuan at himself. That adds up to two or three thousand yuan.
An average person might not be able to save two or three thousand even after a year of work, let alone spend it so extravagantly.
For Wang Yang, it was just a matter of buying two or three more cars.
"Go ahead and tell me, let's just consider it making friends."
"Two hundred, that guy surnamed Chen only gave two hundred, what a stingy guy."
Two hundred yuan was given to the homeless, with over a hundred yuan going to them, leaving Shen Jingsheng with a few dozen yuan left.
Shen Jingsheng was initially quite pleased with himself for earning a few dozen yuan a day.
Compared to Wang Yang, two hundred yuan is nothing.
"Take it, you'll work for me from now on."
"I'd go through fire and water for you, Brother Wang!"
Shen Jingsheng was beaten to a pulp, yet he still got two hundred yuan. What more could he ask for?
When you're out in the game, isn't it all about making some money?
"Wenqing, get the brothers together to help unload the goods. Don't keep driver Fang waiting."
With the matter resolved, Wang Yang waved his hand, and the homeless men, who were willing to help, stepped forward to lend a hand.
Shen Jinsheng, who had received two hundred yuan, was the most enthusiastic.
Although Shen Jingsheng's pig-like head made the scene somewhat comical, the goods were unloaded smoothly.
"Hui Zi, could you make some arrangements to set up a tin roof and run a water pipe in the nearby open space so that these brothers have a place to live?"
Wang Yang knew very well that giving money was only a temporary solution.
Money can buy people's hearts temporarily, but it can't buy their hearts forever.
Unless you have an unimaginable amount of money, you can't keep winning people's hearts indefinitely.
However, Wang Yang didn't have that much money.
"Brother Yang, isn't this a bit too much of an expense..."
Liu Hui felt a little sorry for the money and didn't understand why Wang Yang wanted to build houses for homeless people.
If you want a house, go and do the work yourself.
"Hurry up and get to work. If these homeless people are willing to stay and do some odd jobs, we'll provide them with food and lodging."
"With barracks here, our veterans who live in other places can stay here even if they don't have time to go home."
Wang Yang waved his hand without offering any further explanation.
In business, one must have a long-term vision.
I'll teach my men slowly later.
"Okay, Yang-ge, I'll take care of it right away."
Liu Hui didn't say anything more. From beginning to end, he believed that Wang Yang's approach was correct, but he was just worried about the money.
With the matter settled, the basic equipment for the auto repair shop has been laid and it is ready to start production at any time.
"Wenqing, invite them to the opening ceremony of Chun'an Street Auto Repair Shop according to this list."
The opening ceremony of the Chun'an Street auto repair shop is scheduled for three days from now.
……
"That bastard, he just takes the money and does nothing!"
Chen Jiande was a little angry. He gave his nephew Chen Haitao five hundred yuan and asked him to find someone to incite the homeless to cause trouble.
As a result, Shen Jingsheng not only failed to cause any trouble, but also sided with Wang Yang, causing his money to go down the drain.
"Uncle, please calm down."
Chen Haitao broke out in a cold sweat; he hadn't expected this situation.
Chen Jiande gave him 500 yuan, and he swallowed 300 yuan, not daring to say a word.
"Hmph, so his crappy auto repair shop is opening in three days, huh?"
Chen Jiande was somewhat angry. As the director of the street office, the merchants on this street should bow down to him.
"Uncle, it's the auto repair shop on Chun'an Street."
"I don't care what kind of auto repair shop it is, just call all your cronies, we have to give them some opening gifts."
Chen Jiande decided to break with convention and, with the help of his nephew's gang of thugs, establish his own rules on Chun'an Street.
"Uncle, it costs money..."
There are several gangs on Chun'an Street who know each other and fight each other. If you were to call them all in, it would cost a lot of money.
"Here's another five hundred. This time, use it all to call for backup."
Chen Jiande naturally knew that Chen Haitao was greedy for money, but since the incident happened and it involved his nephew, he could only let it go.
"Okay, Uncle, I'll definitely spend all the money this time."
Chen Haitao's eyes lit up when he saw the money.
What was that saying again?
Taking a small amount doesn't count as taking anything.
Just as the uncle and nephew finished making arrangements, a person walked in through the Chen family's gate.
"If you're going to cause trouble, count me in."
It is Zhang Baoguo, the owner of Zhang's Auto Repair Shop.
