Chapter 247

"So I'm just like an old godfather, and I have to join the guild. If there is no way, who is willing to take such a road of no return! Most of the young people who took this road with me in those years have already died. None of them can survive. " With a look of recollection, Mr. Xu said, "when I was young, I was in the Republic of China. This court was not established. The situation was chaotic and the country was in turmoil. At that time, most of the businesses that made money were controlled by foreigners, Japanese aggressors, warlords, bureaucrats and compradors. It was not easy for a poor boy like me to rise up with nothing. "

"So you join a guild, create a guild, and develop a guild?" Asked Xu Wannian.

"What else?" Mr. Xu said with a smile, "the godfather had not been made in those years. The movies I saw at that time were" burning the Red Lotus Temple "and" the angel on the road ". I remember that my favorite movie stars at that time were Ruan Lingyu and Zhou Xuan. It's a pity that many beautiful women died, and neither of them had a good ending."

"Father, you've taken the subject far away." Obviously, Xu Wannian didn't have much desire to understand the story of old master Xu watching movies and chasing stars in the Republic of China. It's not that Xu Wannian is not interested, but as Xu Wannian's last son, he is very popular with him. When he was at his knees, Xu Wannian had already told him these things over and over again, and his ears began to cocoon. Now he is not interested at all.

Mr. Xu sighed: "when I am old, I always like to recall the past. After all, I can't have any new stories now. Ah... What did you say just now? Er, I didn't see the godfather at that time, but I knew the truth of the godfather without any teacher. I loved to listen to the water margin when I was listening to Pingshu at that time. I felt vaguely that Song Jiang was very interesting and often acted according to Song Jiang's methods. In the end, this way of doing things is very effective. Everyone says that I am benevolent and righteous. Many people have been helped by me, so I naturally go through a lot of dangers. But these years, I want to understand, in fact, "Godfather" and "outlaws of the marsh" speak of a truth, that is, how the underworld development of the truth

"What's your opinion?" Xu Wannian asked carefully. Xu Wannian never belittles the wisdom of master Xu. Although he has not read much, he is well-educated, which is not uncommon. It's just the so-called "all things are learned, and good manners are articles". Master Xu, who knows the world well, has already obtained his doctorate in the University of society. He is very crafty and resourceful, and is very accessible.

Moreover, Mr. Xu's rich life experience is also an inexhaustible treasure. The more he deals with practice, the more he feels.

Mr. Xu picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Wannian, you are a sociologist. You should know the cause of the underworld, right?"

"The underworld, or gang, is a supplement to the vacuum of government power and the blank of national order. It's not obvious in China, but in Fusang, a country where the government lacks grassroots power, it's clear at a glance! " Xu Wannian said, "after the Fusang earthquake, the first one to go to the streets for disaster relief is the underworld. On weekdays, the underworld will also deal with all kinds of things among the people, filling the gap in the vacuum that the administrative force can not reach."

Mr. Xu said with a smile, "you are not reading this book for nothing! You're right. The government is in charge of the sky, the earth and the air, but there are always some corners where it can't manage, where it doesn't want to be an official, and where it doesn't care. These places, it does not care, there are people in charge, this person is the underworld

"The lowest level of underworld is the kind of underworld in the Hong Kong City movie" old fool ", which is still in the stage of fighting and robbing territory. This kind of underworld is the lowest and most likely to arouse people's anger. That is to say, the corrupt government deliberately indulged the public order of the colony in those years. Otherwise, this kind of underworld would have been eliminated long ago! In fact, after the Hong Kong City returned to the mainland in 1997, the underworld of fighting, killing and seizing territory has disappeared! "

"And the second stage of the underworld is to sell order and to package themselves with so-called loyalty. At this stage, the underworld will not only stop fighting and killing, but also help all kinds of businesses to solve their problems. It's better to say that they are harassed by hooligans, blackmailed by gangsters, and bullied by who! By maintaining a stable order, let the people pay willingly. "

"The old godfather in the godfather is at this stage. The old Godfather has been building his dignity by helping others. For example, the old Godfather once helped a widow. The widow lived in poverty. The landlord drove her out. The old Godfather came to the door to communicate with the landlord. He paid part of the money to let the widow live on. Is it good for the old godfather to help the widow? There is no professional gain! "

"But as long as the widow still exists and is still socializing, every person she meets shows that the old Godfather has helped her. This is a living advertisement! The old Godfather built up his reputation through such good deeds! For example, the businessman at the beginning of the godfather asks for help from the old Godfather and hopes that the old Godfather will avenge his daughter. This is based on the reputation of the old Godfather! "

"Song Jiang, who is in time to rain in Outlaws of the marsh, is not good at martial arts. Why can he have such a great reputation in the world? It's because Song Jiang is nicknamed "timely rain", who has been helping people. No one can guarantee that he won't be down. He naturally has a good feeling for people like Song Jiang. Song Jiang has a word of mouth, so the brand will be set up and the platoon will be available. "

"I don't know whether I'm smart or lucky. When I was just born, I went the way of the old Godfather and Song Jiang. I didn't fight directly at the beginning. I don't know how many dangers I avoided. You know, many of the big people who ate tea in those days died of abusing force, such as Wang yaqiao, the leader of the axe gang. "

"The third stage of the underworld is even more extraordinary, which is the way of white washing and transformation. For example, Song Jiang and his gang in shuipo Liangshan are obviously robbing families and families, and they have to put up a signboard to seek legitimacy for themselves《 The old godfather in the godfather is also ready to start the transformation! From simply collecting protection fees to becoming a legal businessman first
