Chapter 584: Face is earned by oneself
The decoration cost 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, which is considered first-class in this era. In the prosperous urban area, there are many businesses, companies, and communities around. It can host wedding banquets, business banquets, etc. If it opens, it will make a fortune.
Xu Shiba's positioning of this store is also quite clear, that is, the core store of Longjiang Province. In the future, there will be dozens of Tieguodun stores in Longjiang Province. This is the center. So when the decoration was halfway done, it was targeted by the big brothers from all sides. There were people who wanted to inquire about things and wanted to buy shares. Of course, before coming, Liu Xialian asked Xu Shiba to make preparations and bring six good fighters who had just retired from the army not long ago. They were all first-class and had participated in actual combat. Not to mention the local area, Xu Shiba had a comrade-in-arms here. Although his position was not high, he was a person with real power, and all those who should move around moved around.
There are always scoundrels. The third-rate guy who took action a few days ago was named Du. He had a dark complexion and was known as Du Laosan.
Xu Shiba really guessed it right. In the last battle, Du Laosan's twelve men fought against Xu Shiba's five men, but they still didn't win. However, he thought that he was careless and had to continue fighting.
But things seemed to be developing a little wrong. This morning, Du Laosan drove out with two of his men and felt that someone was following them. People who live on the edge of a knife are more sensitive, so Du Laosan quietly loaded the bullet.
As the vehicle just left the city, two trucks, one in front and one behind, slammed into Du Laosan's car. The driver was an absolute expert and the collision was very light, just enough to clamp Du Laosan's jeep, but not enough to cause a major accident. Only an experienced driver could achieve this effect.
Du Laosan's driver stopped the car, and the three men picked up their weapons and waited in the car. Seven or eight people got off the truck and blocked the window with shotguns on both sides. A man of medium build smashed the car window with one punch, and reached out to pull Du Laosan out of the car, quickly and fiercely.
When Du Laosan was about to grab the gun, one of them chopped him with a knife, and Du Laosan was so scared that he quickly retracted his hand.
All the knives and guns of the three men were taken away, and they were pressed to the ground and rubbed for about five minutes. Although they were not seriously injured, they definitely had bruised faces and noses.
After hitting two trucks and driving away, Du Laosan got up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His arms and legs were not broken, but there were several external injuries.
"Boss, what should we do? Should we ask for revenge?"
"We are being followed. They are here to help. Let's go to the hospital to get treated first."
These three people were really tough. Du Laosan had pain in his ribs, but the others were a little better. They took some medicine and bandaged themselves. When it was dark, Du Laosan actually drove home by himself.
When I got home, I found that my wife had gauze wrapped around her head, and my teenage son also looked unhappy.
"Wife, what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong? What's wrong? I was hit by someone. I was half a meter away from the wheel. If it had been a little bit worse, you would have had to treat the whole village to a feast."
The son also said: "Me too, someone ran over my bicycle not far from school and paid me 300 yuan in compensation."
Du Laosan was horrified. What did the other party mean? It was very clear. It was a warning to you. If you continue to play tricks, you will be courting your own destruction.
Sure enough, the next day Du Lao San asked someone to mediate and invited Xu Shiba to dinner.
The middleman came back and said, "Xu Shiba didn't give us face and rejected it outright."
Du Laosan was very angry, but he was a traditional gangster who valued face more than anything else. He admitted his mistake, had a meal and drank some wine together, and the matter was over.
In the afternoon, just as it was getting dark, Du Laosan brought eight of his men, all of whom were first-rate and tough fighters. Some of them were from the surrounding villages and had been to the palace three or even four times, so they were not afraid at all.
A group of nine people went directly to the Tieguodun Restaurant. As they were still making final preparations before opening, the restaurant was not open for business and the door was still closed. There were two security guards hired by laid-off workers at the door.
"Hello, sir, the restaurant is not open yet. Please come back in a few days."
Du Lao San was a big brother in society. Although he had some minor injuries, he was not a big enough to embarrass a security guard. He waved his hand and said, "I'm looking for your CEO Xu. Just tell him that Du Lao San is here. He will invite me in."
The security guard said, "Wait a moment, I'll go and report."
After a while, the security guard came back and said, "Please come in, Mr. Du. Our General Manager Xu is on the third floor."
When Du Laosan came over, he saw Xu Shiba cleaning up the private room. It was almost ready and would probably open in a day or two.
"Xu Shiba, you are so arrogant. I treated you to a meal to apologize but you didn't even give me face. That's too much."
Xu Shiba shook his head: "Brother Du, it's not that I don't give you face. We are not from the same business. I just run a restaurant. We are not related, so it can't be said that I don't give you face."
Du Laosan was very angry. He thought that I had already bowed my head, and if you didn't come when I invited you to dinner, that meant you were not giving me face.
At this time, a big man came over to Xu Shiba. He was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and wore only a vest. His muscles were as muscular as a bull. This man was none other than the village chief Zhao Daxixi, the second apprentice of Liu Xia Lian, who was devoted to studying Sanda and boxing.
"Boy, face is not given by others, but earned by yourself. If you want face, you should first see how strong you are. Let your most capable men come over and let's fight a few punches."
A strong man stood up behind Du Laosan. He was about 25 or 26 years old, with a big head and thick neck. He was 1.85 meters tall and a bit strong. He took off his shirt, revealing several scars. In this day and age, he was really beaten up in the underworld. This man was called Du Wu. He was from the same village as Du Laosan and was the best fighter among his men.
The two of them came into the corridor and everyone was staring at them.
Zhao Daxi moved back and forth gently with his feet in a Sanda step. The man under Du Laosan was also a martial artist, so he took the initiative and punched Zhao Daxi's chin with a big fist.
Zhao Daxi stepped back slightly, dodged the fist, and followed with a heavy right punch, which was too fast and hit Du Wu's neck.
Du Wu fell straight down. His brothers rushed over and pinched his Ren Zhong and patted his face, and only then did he wake up.
Du Laosan was stunned, and Xu Shiba was also stunned. This Du Wu was too durable. He was not hurt at all even when kicked in the chest. Unexpectedly, he was knocked down by Zhao Daxixi with just one punch. He was really amazing.
We are here to run a restaurant, not to get involved in society. As long as you don't cause me trouble, we can get along in peace.
However, this also reminded Xu Shiba that although it was a provincial capital, opening three restaurants at once would still have a huge impact on local business. You have to know that this was all stealing money from other people's pockets.
Iron pot stew is the favorite of Northeastern people. It is affordable and has a large portion. Linyi Fried Chicken, except for the slow delivery of fried chicken, needs to be booked in advance, the others are stir-fried, also used for wedding banquets, and the flavor of the dishes belongs to the southern Shandong style.
