The next day, Liu Laosi came earlier and moved the table half a meter forward.
He had twice as many biscuits as yesterday, obviously trying to overwhelm others with quantity.
Lin Guoqiang’s business dropped by another 20%.
On the third day, there was an extra person next to Liu Laosi’s stall.
A young man with a shaved head, in his early twenties, with broad shoulders and a round waist.
Wearing a dirty leather jacket, he squatted on the roadside smoking, glancing in Lin Guoqiang's direction from time to time.
That look is not kind.
The fat sister-in-law secretly said to Lin Guoqiang when no one was around: "Brother, be careful.
Liu Laosi is not someone to be trifled with. He has connections in the town, and he has squeezed out the few people who set up stalls before.
The bald man is his nephew, his name is Er Biao. He is a ruthless gangster. Last year, he broke two of a man's ribs and had to pay him several hundred yuan before settling the matter."
Lin Guoqiang nodded: "Thank you, fat sister-in-law, I know what you are doing."
"Don't force yourself to come here," the fat lady lowered her voice, "It's really hard to find another place. This is not the only place in front of the agricultural machinery factory..."
"I won't change." Lin Guoqiang smiled, with no doubt, "I came here first, why should I change?"
The fat sister-in-law opened her mouth, wanted to say something, swallowed it back, sighed and left.
When Zhao Sumei closed the stall and went home that day, she noticed that Lin Guoqiang looked wrong.
"What's wrong? Business is not good?"
"It's okay, but someone is grabbing the territory."
Zhao Sumei’s face suddenly turned pale: “Who?”
"Liu Laosi, from the next village."
"Liu Laosi?" Zhao Sumei's voice changed, "I have heard of this person, he is not a good person.
"Guoqiang, why don't we change places so we don't have to fight him..."
"No change." Lin Guoqiang put the box down and said in a calm but firm tone, "Su Mei, listen to me, for this kind of person, if you take one step back, he will take two steps forward.
You change places today, but he will still come tomorrow. Giving in will not solve the problem."
"Then what do you want to do?"
Lin Guoqiang did not answer, but from that day on, he started to do one thing.
After closing the stall every day, he was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, he stayed in the town for an extra hour and wandered around.
He went to the family area behind the agricultural machinery factory, to the vegetable market in the town, and to the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative.
We even went to the town government gate for a walk.
He is observing and inquiring.
Who is Liu Laosi?
Who is his “connection” in town?
How did he crowd out others before?
What are his weaknesses?
After three days, Lin Guoqiang had almost figured out the situation. Page (1/3)
