Chapter 29 Bribing the Homeless
"We have no objections, we're going to continue working with Brother Wei!"
No veteran workers expressed any objection to Wang Yang's acquisition.
These experienced craftsmen had followed Wei Guodong for many years and trusted him completely.
Since Wei Guodong did not object, the experienced craftsmen had no objections either.
After so many years of work, under Wei Guodong's care, these veteran workers have long since escaped financial burdens.
Over the years, they have received a lot of help from Wei Guodong and have overcome many difficulties.
Instead of looking for a new factory or a new job, it's better to continue contributing with Wei Guodong.
"Boss Wang, let's go back to the office and sign the papers."
Wei Guodong turned his back, forcing back his tears.
Even if they lose their secure jobs, these workers are still willing to continue following him.
This made even the usually composed Wei Guodong feel a lump in his throat.
"From now on, you'll work for me."
With the signing completed, the Lizhi Auto Repair Shop became history.
Besides the land, the employees, equipment, resources, and debts of Lizhi Auto Repair Shop all went to Chun'an Auto Repair Shop.
The most valuable thing was not the equipment, but the dozen or so workers who worked together with one heart.
……
"Brother Yang, it's solved!"
Liu Hui was in high spirits. He made a trip to Luohu and even smuggled himself to Hong Kong Island before finally solving the problem of the source of goods.
It turns out that Wang Hu, the thug who supplied the scrap parts, was actually Wang Feng's son, who had disappeared without a trace several years ago.
With the help of Liu Hui and Li Zhi, the father and son met and reconciled.
Wang Hu led over thirty men in Kowloon Walled City, while Li Zhi led over a dozen men in Lo Wu. This effectively opened up the channels.
In the future, a steady stream of scrap parts will be transported from Hong Kong Island to Lo Wu, and then to Guangzhou via private freight.
"Well done."
Wang Yang expressed his approval of Liu Hui, saying that he had done a great job.
Although Liu Hui is usually a bit loud and boisterous, his ability to resolve the matter in Luohu has already proven his competence.
From now on, Liu Hui will be in charge of the supply of goods.
"Brother Yang, I've taken care of things here too."
Yang Wenqing was holding a pile of documents, including the auto repair shop's business license and the warehouse's lease agreement.
As someone within the system, Yang Wenqing's ability to complete the procedures demonstrates his talent.
From now on, Yang Wenqing will be responsible for resolving all kinds of procedural issues.
"Brother Yang, this is amazing! I've received orders for over sixty motorcycles."
Zhang Qiang works at a restaurant and comes into contact with many customers, including many restaurant owners with spare cash.
With the motorcycles that Wang Yang had previously produced becoming a hit on Chun'an Street, their appearance, quality, and price were all top-notch.
As a result, Zhang Qiang received a lot of orders.
From now on, Zhang Qiang can be in charge of the auto repair shop's sales.
It can be said that Wang Yang can confidently entrust his brothers with the sourcing of goods, permits, and sales channels for the auto repair shop.
"Director Wang, there's a problem here."
Just when things seemed to be looking very promising, bad news came from Wei Guodong.
There were more than a dozen homeless people in that abandoned warehouse. A leader of the homeless people emerged and managed to unite the other homeless people, who refused to leave no matter what.
Even when Wei Guodong told the boss that the place had been rented, they didn't react at all.
Wei Guodong had more than a dozen men, but instead of using force to drive them away, he first asked Wang Yang for his opinion.
It wasn't that Wei Guodong lacked courage, but rather that he was new to Chun'an Street and unfamiliar with its situation. He worried that violently driving away these homeless people would not solve the problem completely.
"You're right, I'll go take a look."
Wang Yang nodded; Wei Guodong's concerns were not unfounded.
It's quite unusual for a homeless person to have a leader.
Even if you chase them away once, it's hard to guarantee that these homeless people won't come back and cause trouble in the future.
……
Abandoned warehouse.
The eye-catching slogans are still engraved on the walls, recording the madness of that era.
Several homeless men blocked the Liberation truck, preventing the equipment from entering the warehouse.
They were already used to this warehouse; it was free, not far from the street, and they could do odd jobs there.
Driving them away would be tantamount to cutting off their livelihood, so the homeless people united in an unusual way to protect their home.
"Brother, you have to be reasonable in everything."
"Our boss has already rented this place, and he has the proper documentation. What's the meaning of not letting cars in?"
Driver Fang was getting impatient.
If these devices can't be delivered, he won't get paid.
They had hoped that Wei Guodong would step in, but it turns out they have to wait for Wang Yang, who is even higher up, to handle it.
"Stop talking nonsense, I can't read!"
"This place was given to us by the neighborhood committee. They just tell us to leave and we leave? What kind of nonsense is this?!"
Shen Jingsheng, the leader, didn't even look at the so-called evidence and started cursing at driver Fang.
Shen Jingsheng was not a homeless man, but a hoodlum from the next street. He didn't usually hang out on Chun'an Street, so nobody knew him.
Chen Haitao gave Shen Jingsheng two hundred yuan and asked him to bribe the homeless people to cause trouble.
"Boss Wang, you've finally arrived! They wouldn't let me in, and they even cursed at me!"
Driver Fang complained to Wang Yang and explained the situation.
"Director Wang, I went to the neighborhood office to ask, and they said they don't have enough manpower and can't come for a while."
Wei Guodong explained to Wang Yang.
Emptying the warehouse was originally the responsibility of the street office, the other party to the contract, but Chen Jiande deliberately didn't send anyone over, wanting to embarrass Wang Yang.
This has led to the current situation.
"Shen Jingsheng, right? I'm the boss here, Wang Yang."
Accompanied by others, Wang Yang approached Shen Jingsheng, the leader of the homeless people.
Shen Jingsheng was 1.8 meters tall, with hands and feet, and a muscular build.
Wang Yang noticed that although Shen Jingsheng's clothes were worn, they looked more like distressed clothes.
This guy is most likely not a homeless person.
"I don't care who you are, Wang Yang or Li Yang, this is my territory!"
Shen Jingsheng waved his arm, revealing his chiseled muscles, trying to intimidate Wang Yang.
"I'm giving you one chance. Leave now, and I won't touch you."
"Leave? Don't be ridiculous! I'm telling you today, not a single one of us is leaving!"
Shen Jingsheng spoke very aggressively, and almost spat on Wang Yang's face.
He had calculated that there were more than a dozen homeless people here, and Wang Yang wouldn't dare to force his way in.
As long as Wang Yang dares to force his way in, Chen Jiande and Chen Haitao will have a reason to spread rumors about Wang Yang's auto repair shop.
"Brothers, this Shen Jingsheng is not your type. Why should you listen to him?"
"Come over here, I'll give each of you a hundred!"
Wang Yang spoke loudly to the other homeless people, and even offered them terms.
Homeless people don't care where they live.
The reason these homeless people were able to be swayed by Shen Jingsheng was simply because Shen Jingsheng had given them something in return, most likely money.
It's as if anyone can't spend money to win people's hearts.
"One hundred! That guy surnamed Shen only gave five yuan!"
"If I really had a hundred dollars, I could go anywhere!"
Upon hearing Wang Yang's call, the homeless men who had been making up the numbers on the sidelines all stood up.
Compared to Shen Jingsheng's five yuan, Wang Yang's one hundred yuan was obviously more tempting.
If they could really get 100 yuan, many homeless people would have the opportunity to go ashore and live a good life.
"You bunch of bastards, you took the money and then showed no loyalty!"
Shen Jingsheng realized something was wrong and turned to run.
The homeless man's tone already revealed his desire for money.
Shen Jingsheng was just doing a job for money and didn't want to get caught up in this mess.
Where there is life, there is hope.
"Surround him, don't let him leave, then come to me to collect your money!"
Since they're all homeless, loyalty can't put food on the table, so they'll definitely help whoever pays more.
Under the scorching sun, a dozen homeless men pounced on Shen Jingsheng, who was trying to run away, and pinned him to the ground.
