Chapter 109: Collecting Protection Fees

After running back to the villa, on the way, Zhao Tiezhu brought Su Yanni a piece of milk bread to relieve the embarrassment of yesterday. Su Yanni got up and saw the breakfast that Zhao Tiezhu put on the table. She was a little touched. There was also a small note. Su Yanni picked it up and looked at it. The note read, "I heard that you can replenish your health by drinking whatever you drink. Although you don't need to replenish it, drinking more milk can keep your elasticity good - your dear Landlord, Tie Zhu.”

. . . Su Yanni directly crumpled the note into a ball and threw it into the trash can. She picked up the milk and took a sip. It was her favorite sugar-free milk. An intoxicating smile appeared on Su Yanni's face.

At this time, Zhao Tiezhu had already driven his small QQ to FJ University. Fan Jian was studying with Tie Shou. Zhao Tiezhu went to see how the studies were going. He also had to pick up Wu Qian who came to FJ at noon. He had a full schedule.

Zhao Tiezhu drove directly outside the bar where Tie Shou worked, parked the car, and the boy at the door bowed respectfully and called, "Brother Zhao."

Zhao Tiezhu nodded and walked into the bar.

The bar was deserted at noon. Zhao Tiezhu snapped his fingers at a decent-looking woman behind the bar and said, "Xiao Chen, a glass of Sprite with ice. Bring it in."

The woman agreed. Zhao Tiezhu walked into the office, and Tieshou was telling Fan Jian how to collect protection fees.

"I'm telling you, when you collect protection money, it depends on who is collecting it. Do you understand? We are not hooligans in the old society. You can go to other people's shops, make tea with them, chat, and explore the mysteries of the universe. Ah, the Loch Ness Monster and the like. In short, it is to make people have a certain favorable impression of you, and then raise it in a timely manner. The protection fee has to be paid. This way, people will not have much resistance. On TV Those who pretend to be uncles and collect protection fees are all small gangsters with little skill. The result of doing so can only be to isolate themselves from the people and have a stiff relationship with businessmen. What can you gain? Maybe if you offend someone you shouldn't offend one day, it's really just a matter of death. I won't say it twice." Tie Shou said here. When he saw Zhao Tiezhu come in, he called Brother Zhao and started to teach Fan again. establish.

Zhao Tiezhu didn't have much contact with the gang, but he didn't expect that there were so many branches in the gang. There were people who were responsible for maintaining the scene. These people were vicious and capable of fighting. There were also people who collected protection fees. These people were all kind and pleasant. , who are eloquent, and many of them have switched jobs from the insurance industry. There are also analysts who are responsible for expansion and development. There must also be diplomats who specialize in handling relations with other gangs. This is simply a self-contained group. It’s a small country.

Everyone has to start from the bottom. Even people like Fan Jian, who has a close relationship with Zhao Tiezhu, must first learn to collect protection fees, because only in this way, when he becomes the eldest brother in the future, can he deal with the various subordinates under him. There is a better communication and application, which is the same as being an official. How can an official who has not started from the bottom understand the sufferings of the people? Those who only know how to let the people live a good life every day, but they themselves are careless about human life, sooner or later they will cut themselves off from the people.

"Okay, I'll stop talking about the protection fee first. You can go out with a few people later and do some internship." After Tie Shou finished speaking, he took a cigarette to Zhao Tiezhu and threw another one to Fan Jian. Several people clicked. During the lecture, Tie Shou was very rigorous and serious. As soon as the lecture was over, he and Fan Jian hooked up. Zhao Tiezhu looked at the two people in a funny way, and the door was lightly knocked. , the waiter brought the drinks in. After Zhao Tiezhu took them, he said to Tieshou, "How is Fan Jianxue?"

"Fortunately, even though he is so fat, he still has a strong learning ability." Tie Shou nodded. Fan Jian had a black line on his head. Is there any connection between being fat and having a strong learning ability?

"Fan Jian, let's go together tonight." Zhao Tiezhu ordered. Iron Hand nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Fan Jian, aren't you going to collect protection money? Come on, let me go and take a look with you." Zhao Tiezhu thought of what Tie Shou said just now, and a sense of curiosity arose in his heart. How does this protection money work? Received.

Zhao Tiezhu's affairs were arranged very quickly. Not long after, several polite-looking people appeared in the office. In accordance with Zhao Tiezhu's request, Tie Shou did not identify the two people, but just said that these two people were new arrivals and took them to collect the protection money.

These boys belong to the group of people who specialize in collecting protection fees. They all look relatively gentle, but there is also a very tough guy among them. This is to prevent some people from looking down on these people and following them.

A few people just left the bar. These people had not come to the bar often, so naturally they couldn't get to know Zhao Tiezhu like the other guys in the bar. They only knew that it seemed that Tie Shou had taken refuge with a big boss, and the others were in Tie Shou. Under the blockage of the hand, it is not very clear. This also led to outside speculation about Zhao Tiezhu's identity, and the waiters in the bar were even given a gag order by Tiezhu.

Several people took Zhao Tiezhu and Fan Jian to the commercial area near FJ University. There were many shops here. These people and Zhao Tiezhu got to know each other. One of them, Brother Thirteen, said, "Look at it. , this is how protection fees are collected.”

I saw Brother Thirteen walking into a store with a smile on his face, and shouted to a middle-aged man inside who was watching TV, "Boss Wang, how is the business lately?"

When the middle-aged man saw it was Brother Thirteen, he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out to be Brother Thirteen. Business has been slow recently. Come in and sit down?"

"Okay." Brother Thirteen had a smile on his face, and the two of them sat there and chatted about some recent current events, such as Libya being beaten, the lamp puller being shot, etc. The intimacy between the two was Son, those who didn’t know thought they were old friends who hadn’t seen each other for many years.

"Boss Wang, today is the 23rd. Brother, my day of work has come. I hope that Boss Wang will support me." Brother Thirteen said with a smile. Boss Wang nodded, "That's natural. In our stores, we still have a lot of support." Thank you to Brother Thirteen for taking care of me. This is for this month. Here it is." Boss Wang handed a red envelope that he had already prepared to Brother Thirteen. Brother Thirteen had a smile on his face and said, "Boss Wang is so cheerful. What's the matter? If anything happens, I'll give you a call." "Okay, okay." Boss Wang smiled, took out another cigarette from the drawer and handed it to Brother Thirteen, "Thanks to Brother Thirteen for what happened to my son last time. This is for brothers, don’t dislike it, Brother Thirteen.”

"Boss Wang, this is boring for you. We collect people's money to help them eliminate disasters. We have already collected protection fees, but we can't protect everyone. I can't have this thing. I'll leave now and I'll meet you for a drink another day." Thirteen Brother said and ran out of the store. Zhao Tiezhu and Fan Jian were stunned. Is this still collecting protection money? Is it really possible to have a harmonious society these days?

"See? In fact, this is also a kind of rental. This is a suburb, and there are all kinds of monsters and ghosts. The people who open the shop are not seeking safety, so they charge protection fees. It's not difficult. We can also help them." Brother Thirteen opened the red envelope and counted it, one thousand yuan.

Just charge this much? Zhao Tiezhu asked curiously. Since FJ University is nearby, the income from these stores is very good. Almost every store can earn 10,000 yuan a month.

"We are not the bad guys on TV. We have our own professional ethics. We only charge one-fifteenth of your protection fee, which is much lower than the tax in ancient times. Don't underestimate this one-fifteenth." One, there are at least hundreds of stores here, and they can earn several million a month." Brother Thirteen explained.

Damn, it turns out that collecting protection fees is so profitable. Zhao Tiezhu nodded in agreement. Coupled with some of his own businesses, Tie Shou's previous monthly income, after deducting expenses, could earn at least millions!

Later, Zhao Tiezhu followed Brother Thirteen to several stores, and it was relatively easy to collect protection fees. Of course, there are some people who don't give face. To deal with such people, you can only use the underworld method. The simplest , send a few men, who will not beat you or scold you, but will stand outside the store for you every day, with a few fierce people standing side by side, and all your business will be finished.

Near noon, Zhao Tiezhu returned to Tie Shou's office. At this time, Dugu Huangtian and Toad were also here. Dugu Huangtian had been responsible for managing the finances of the Tie Shou Gang and making investments, while Toad was leading the Iron Shou Gang's men. Watch the scene, or get angry with others. At noon, Tie Shou called the two of them over, saying that Zhao Tiezhu was also here and wanted to have a meal together.

At this moment, Wu Qian's call came. She had already arrived at FJ's train station.
