Chapter 34 Ever Since Ancient Times, Heroes Have Produced Teenagers
Turn your head over in front of me!
Apart from Boss Gu five years ago, who else in the entire Wolong Pond dared to boast about this cowhide? Even back then, Gu Yufei and Big Head Fang had always respected each other and crossed paths with each other on flat shoulders.
Who was Big Head Fang? Twenty years ago, Wolongtang was just a small village with no backing and no sea to drink. Gu Da, Fang Er, Xue San, and Gong Si all pinned their heads to their belts and started smuggling by sea. One-fourth of the first barrel of gold he had started Wolong Pond came from his contribution.
Now, even though Wolong Pond was on the verge of collapse, Fang Baiyu still operated a chain of golden buildings that covered the entire province. Speaking of the name of Le Xin Jewelry, it wasn't just the sound of the mountain on the ground in Qinzhou. Even Jianye, which was known as the Tiger Curl Dragon Pan and had a population of 8 million, was quite famous.
As a benchmark figure in this era of private economic development, it could be said that his influence had already surpassed that of Wolong Pond, an acre of land.
Gu Tianyou had already blown the cowhide out, so he didn't use his relationship with Fang Le'er and came looking for him as Elder Gu's eldest son! Gu Yufei had been dead for almost five years. Gu Tianyou was just an unwanted illegitimate child who had grown up in prison. Thinking about how influential this identity could be, it made one despair.
At the very least, Old Geng wasn't optimistic that Tianyou could successfully persuade Big Head Fang. At this moment, he was watching cartoons with his big-eyed sister, and the quick-witted little mouse on TV was playing poor Tom around. The big-eyed sister laughed happily from time to time. She smiled, and Old Geng smiled as well. Looking at the stiff smile on his face that was even stiffer than the Antarctic tundra, Gu Tianyou couldn't help but sigh with admiration at the greatness of his father's love. At the same time, he felt a little regretful for his previous act of angering Guan Yiyi for her beauty. Even goddaughters were like this, not to mention that Fang Le'er was Big Head Fang's biological daughter.
Regret was regret, but Gu Tianyou had no intention of changing his mind.
The weather was a little stuffy, and the temperature of the air conditioner was something Big Eyed liked. The old glass was completely in character. Gu Tianyou looked at the remote control in Old Geng's hand and thought for a few times before failing. At this moment, he felt like an ant on a hot pot, and waves of irritation surged into his heart. Go out for a cigarette. Just as this thought flashed through his mind, he heard footsteps coming from outside the gate. Turning around, Fang Hongpeng , the second brother of the Fang Baiyu Clan, led the two of them across the threshold to the courtyard without the consent of their master.
I haven't come to find you yet, but you've come to find me first.
Fang Hongpeng , who had just passed his thirties, was a famous figure in Qinzhou Road. Outside, he was a young and successful young entrepreneur, a trembling master of Qinzhou Road. In the Wolong Pond, he only dared not act wildly in front of Big Head Fang.
Of the three sons, he was the one who looked the most like Fang Baiyu . Both his appearance and personality stubbornly inherited Big Head Fang's genetic traits.
According to what Gu Tianyou knew, the second brother of the Fang Clan had already moved out of the Wolong Pond. He rarely came back outside the New Year's Festival. Unless Big Head Fang had something important to do with him.
As soon as Fang Hongpeng entered, he shouted, "Where's the little punk from the Gu Clan?"
From Gu Yufei 's point of view, Gu Tianyou should call him Third Brother-in-law, Old Gu Clan's Three Flowers, and Tianyou's three half-sisters were called Gu Xuejiao, Gu Xueman, and Gu Xueting. This Fang Hongpeng married Old Third Gu Xueting. The third brother-in-law had a young version of his big square head, a bun of raw meat, two owl-like eyebrows, his eyelashes protruding neatly like an old cow, and a pair of big leopard eyes with fierce glints. Combined with his 1.9-meter-tall figure, he gave off an extremely oppressive feeling.
Comparatively speaking, the three Fang brothers were only courteous to Tianyou. Even in anger, he didn't open his mouth, bastard. Shut up, bastard.
Gu Tianyou was neither close nor respectful to him. He slowly walked out of the room and stood under the eaves. "Oh, isn't this Second Brother Fang? Who are you so angry with?"
"Stop pretending to be foolish with me!" Fang Hongpeng asked angrily, "Little bastard, let me ask you, where did you go this afternoon?"
"Does it have anything to do with you where I go?" Gu Tianyou said nonchalantly, "Do I need to report to you? Are you from the Public Security Bureau or my father?"
"Little punk, I'll kill you today!" Fang Hongpeng was furious. He took a step forward and punched.
Gu Tianyou dodged sideways and grabbed his wrist with his left hand. His right hand supported his armpit and he twisted his body to lift him up, intending to throw him over the shoulder.
The third brother-in-law left the Wolong Pond at the age of eighteen and made a name for himself in Qinzhou City. After all, he was not a fuel-efficient lamp. As soon as he left the ground, he immediately rolled and fell from Tianyou's back. Although he was in a sorry state, it was better than being thrown over his shoulder. Gu Tianyou still grabbed his wrist, and his right hand instead grabbed his armpit. Taking advantage of the pain and relaxation, he twisted his left hand and grabbed Fang Hongpeng 's arm in the opposite direction.
Fang Hongpeng was really a man. His arm was twisted backwards, but this fellow didn't snort or harrumph. His other hand pulled out a pistol from his waist and waved it in front of Tianyou. Gu Tianyou let him go very bachelorly. He clapped his hands and smiled, "They're all relatives. What's there to say? Why do you have to act immediately?"
Fang Hongpeng was so angry that he jumped up and shouted, "Who is he? Is he related to you? I am your third brother-in-law!" After saying that, he realized that he had misspoken. He was so angry that he wanted to make a move. He looked at the gun in his hand and then at Gu Tianyou. After a moment of hesitation, he stuffed the gun back into its original position.
"The old man wants to see you. Come with me now."
Gu Tianyou turned around and looked into the room. There was no one in the hall. It was unknown when Old Geng had already brought Big Eyed Sister upstairs. The veteran comrade clearly wanted to stay out of this. Looks like Brother Tianyou can only go to the meeting alone.
… … … …
Gu Tianyou forcibly came to the Fang Clan. When he entered, he saw Fang Da sitting on the porch with a large bald head. A pair of big brush-like owl eyebrows stuck into his temples. It was especially eye-catching. The chair beneath his buttocks was covered with tiger skin. He spread out his teeth and claws behind his head, increasing the arrogance of the Mountain King.
Speaking of which, this tiger skin had a lot of origins. It was said that Big Head Fang suffered from rheumatism when he sailed on the sea. For this matter, Gu Yufei spent a lot of money to get a Siberian tiger weighing more than 300 kg from Russia. The tiger bones soaked in wine and the tiger meat replenished his body, while this tiger skin accompanied him all the time.
"I heard you want to talk to me?"
Big Head Fang gestured for the irrelevant people to leave. His voice was not loud, but he had an aura of self-prestige.
Originally, Gu Tianyou wasn't afraid of him, but because of Fang Le'er , he felt guilty. Hearing his question, he immediately realized that someone had tipped him off first. Only Old Geng and Le'er knew that they were looking for him. Without thinking, she could guess that Le'er had told Big Head Fang about the relationship between the two of them in order to help her.
Ever since Gu Yufei 's death, Gu Tianyou had stayed in the Wolong Pond for nearly five years, and there was almost no intersection between him and Big Head Fang. At most, greet each other politely. This was the first time they had truly dealt with each other. He walked forward and nodded politely. He called Second Uncle Fang and asked, "Did Le'er tell you that?"
"You still have the face to mention Le'er to me." Fang Baiyu was so angry that he suddenly glared at his second son behind Tianyou and shouted, "Didn't I ask you to teach him a lesson first?"
Fang Hongpeng scratched his head and stammered, "Here, there you go, but no, I haven't."
"How dare you call yourself the Qinzhou Tiger just because of your stupid appearance of'eye sawdust '?" When Big Head Fang got angry, he scolded, "Not much better than that green bellied monkey." Big Head Fang's generation hadn't read for a few days, and had a strong sense of locality. Normally, it wasn't a special occasion for outsiders, so he didn't like to speak Mandarin. The sawdust in his eyes was the meaning of a fool, and the green bellied monkey was a despicable descendant. It's useless to use it here.
Fang Hongpeng didn't dare to refute. He stood there with his head lowered and didn't say a word.
Gu Tianyou said, "I still have to thank Third Brother-in-law for his mercy. He finally didn't let me be carried to see you."
Big Head Fang snorted and turned his gaze to Tianyou's face. After a long time, he said, "The girls of your Gu Clan are all pretty good. All men are pretty good-looking and have bad intentions. I said the same thing when your father was alive."
Gu Tianyou was neither salty nor faint, "The blood on the pretty boy's face is also hot."
Big Head Fang looked at Gu Tianyou, who was wearing thin clothes, and then at his tall and bearish son. He did not want to continue this topic. He changed the topic and suddenly asked, "You have been in Crouching Dragon Pond for more than four years, haven't you?"
"Four years and seven months." Gu Tianyou answered honestly.
"Yes," Big Head Fang nodded and said, "Sixteen when you came. Is it twenty or twenty-one this year?"
Gu Tianyou said, "If you are under 21 years old, you can count as 22 years old."
"Three years ago, when you were injured, I wanted to see you, but at the entrance of the hospital, I ran into the eldest son of the cripple Yang of the Flying Tiger Ridge." Big Fang's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Tian You and asked word by word, "Tell me what you and that brat have been busy with these past few years."
Gu Tianyou already knew that he couldn't hide anything from Yang Wenshan, so he truthfully replied, "Yang Wenshan came out. I paid for some fake cigarettes and alcohol, and in the next two years, I worked with the Indonesians to make a bet."
"They're all profitable industries. I'm sure they've made a lot of money these past few years." Big Head Fang couldn't tell if he was satisfied with Tianyou's answer, so he asked, "Why didn't you do it all of a sudden?"
Gu Tianyou said, "I couldn't do anything else before, so I had to take the risk and play side-by-side. Now I have more choices, I don't want to take any more risks."
This answer reminded Fang Baiyu of the time when the four brothers joined hands to run a boat on the sea for huge profits. Later, under the leadership of Boss Gu , they all went ashore and turned around. Over the years, every time he recalled this past, he couldn't help but admire Gu Yufei 's foresight. In particular, a few years ago, the Central Committee stepped up its efforts to rectify smuggling activities in the southeast coastal economic belt in order to join the WTO. Many of the big smuggling leaders who ran along with their brothers in the past were found elsewhere, and none of them had a good ending.
"So you want to go straight?" Big Head Fang asked slowly.
"Yes!" Gu Tianyou said seriously, "You can't always wear your head on your belt to live."
"Hehe." Big Head Fang's big face revealed a rare smile as he said, "Being upright isn't necessarily without risks. Otherwise, the shopping mall is the battlefield." "I heard that you like reading very much? What kind of books do you read?"
"There was a teacher in prison who forced me to memorize a lot of books on politics and economics. At that time, I only knew how to memorize them by heart. When I came out, the conditions were convenient, so I wanted to find out more about the entrance." Gu Tianyou replied cautiously, speaking nonsense seriously.
Big Head Fang nodded and said, "Reading is a good habit, but you can't read books to death. The principles in books are good, but people who do things may not be so obedient. As long as they are dealing with people in business, there is no absolute business."
The atmosphere so far seems to be getting more and more harmonious. Big Head Fang did not look like he was going to ask for trouble, but rather, he looked like a son-in-law who was visiting the entrance exam. The tension in Gu Tianyou's heart relaxed a little, but at this moment, Big Head Fang's expression suddenly changed. His voice suddenly rose, "Gu Tianyou, originally, your little bastard was going to do nothing to me, but should you never provoke my family? Let me ask you, what plans do you have next?"
Big Head Fang's attitude changed abruptly. Tianyou's relaxed heartstrings were instantly tensed. He didn't understand what the old boy meant and didn't know how to answer.
Gu Tianyou's instant hesitation gave Big Head Fang the reason to explode, "You little punk, you really have the same virtue as that damn daddy of yours!"
This old brat was worthy of being called a hero who had stepped on both black and white paths. He had been a hero in the business world for many years. From the beginning of the conversation until now, he had grasped the changes in the content and rhythm of the conversation. Gu Tianyou grew up in prison for fourteen years. He had extensive knowledge and was taught by Lord Long , Miao Shifan , the leader of the Explosion Group, and the living Encyclopedia of Society. He had lived alone in Wolong Pond for more than four years. He cultivated his mind, nurtured his temperament, and put what he learned to good use. His self-cultivation was enough to wrestle with him. When the time came for a confrontation, they were still at a disadvantage.
Gu Tianyou's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't allow himself to have such a subjective assumption. If the opponent of the negotiation was the veteran general, Big Head Fang, he still had some confidence. If he were to discuss cooperation with an angry father, there was almost no chance of success. I have to say something.
"Gu Yufei and I are different!" Gu Tianyou first rejected Fang Baiyu's speculative assertion and said, "The matter between Le'er and I has nothing to do with what you and I are going to talk about today. The person standing in front of you is your sworn brother's only son." After saying that, he deliberately straightened his body and looked at Fang Baiyu without escaping.
"Do you think that without Le'er, you would have this opportunity to shout in front of me?" Big Head Fang lowered his voice, still maintaining his self-prestige.
"What happened between Le'er and me is between us. She is an adult and I am not a child. We can all bear the consequences of our decisions." "As a father, you should trust your own child. As the leader of the Wolong Pond, you should be more concerned about the predicament that Wolong Pond will face in the future." Gu Tianyou tried his best to pull the topic out of this matter, saying, "As a father, you should trust your child. As the leader of the Wolong Pond, you should be more concerned about the predicament that Wolong Pond will face in the future."
"Little bastard, who do you think you are?" Big Head Fang suddenly stood up and stepped in front of Tian You. "What can you do if your father, Boss Gu , couldn't change the situation back then? What else can you do other than deceive an innocent and ignorant little girl and do some evil tricks?"
Fang Baiyu didn't even give Tianyou a chance to defend himself. He asked one question after another, "Do you know what kind of person your father is? Do you know why he got that result? Do you know what the four of us have done to maintain the Crouching Dragon Pond until today?"
"You know nothing, That's why you went to Dai Xiaolou to check on You Beiwang , You want to revive the Crouching Dragon Pond, but you don't know what kind of opponent is hiding under this lid. I don't deny that you've done well in the past four years, and even far exceeded your father's expectations of you. However, you're still far from being able to rebuild the broken sign of the Crouching Dragon Pond. "
"I don't know anything, but one thing I know is that if I don't do anything, I won't be able to do anything in the end." Gu Tianyou said expressionlessly, He said resolutely, "I think I know something now, Wolong Pond is a product of the times, However, its time has passed, "The people who smashed this token back then will only be stronger now than they were back then. Even the three of you who survived will not dare to fight back. Back then, they divided up the four billion that disappeared and used this bundle to crush the Wolong Pond. In the end, they will completely make the Wolong Pond disappear from the southeast business circle. You guys would rather be spectators."
"We're spectators, what about you? What are you? You're just a childish fellow with more ambition than ability." Fang Baiyu tit for tat. "We can at least maintain the peace and happiness of this region. Even if the property in Wolong Pond disappears completely, my Xin Le Jewelry is still here, Gong Hanzhang 's Feida Real Estate is still there, your Uncle Shuang Lin's Octagonal Building is still there, and the rice bowls of the village's more than 2,000 old and young masters are still there, you can still survive and hook up with that stupid girl of mine."
"Big Head Fang, Maybe you're right, But you're mistaken, "I'm Gu Yufei's son, but he didn't name me Gu Tianyou. If I can survive in such a place, then I'm definitely not some childish fellow you mentioned. I didn't live to this day because of the secret protection of the few of you. I knew long ago that Gu Yufei wanted you to treat me in a cold light. In fact, it was to temper me."
Even Big Head Fang cried out. Gu Tianyou did not expect to be able to convince him now, but there were some words that he could not breathe out in his heart. He simply spat out in one breath, "I am a person lacking in principles. The only principle for me to survive until today is to take revenge for kindness and vengeance!" The Gu Clan owes me a child. Gu Yufei did everything he could for my illegitimate son. I have yet to repay this kindness, and those who forced him to death are my enemies. I have yet to avenge this. Do you think I will agree if you want me to give up all of this? "
Big Head Fang's face was ashen as he pondered silently. The atmosphere froze, causing Fang Hongpeng to tremble endlessly and even feel breathless.
"What if it's for Le'er? What if I agree that the condition for the two of you to be together is that you have to give up your plan of revenge?" "Don't you always have your own plans? Do you want to go abroad with Le'er to be a happy couple of rich second generation? You want to take revenge, but don't you think what will happen if you fail?" Big Fang stared at Tianyou and suddenly asked, "Don't you have your own plans?"
"You must know that your enemies are by no means as simple as those few people. Wolong Pond is a product of the times. The one who destroyed Wolong Pond and your father is another era. This era is not over yet. If you insist on going your own way, the chances of success are almost zero. Wait until one day you are killed on the beach by the tide of the times. Have you ever thought about what to do with my daughter?"
"This is the biggest difference between you and me. You have already decided to fail, and I just want to do my best." Gu Tianyou's arrow had already left the bow. There is no possibility of giving up, "The so-called plan is in the sky. Success or failure is the choice of fate. Also, to correct you, what I want to deal with is only a few bastards who have a grudge against me for killing my father in this era. Whether these people are high-ranking or wealthy, they are only the trendsetters of the times, not the ones who promote the trend!"
"When you belonged to your generation, when you put your head on your belt and beat the world, did you ever think of your wives and children? '"Le'er chose me not because I was someone's son, nor because I had something or lost something. She simply wanted to be with me. She was ready to accept everything I had, including my failure, just like when Su Xiazhu and your wife carried the child and watched you and Gu Yufei sail into the sea."
Big Head Fang listened very carefully. His expression changed unpredictably. Sometimes, he didn't take it seriously. Sometimes, he seemed to appreciate it. After waiting for Tianyou to stop talking, he pondered for a long time before finally sighing, "It seems like you don't intend to listen to me tonight?"
"It's not just tonight. If you're stubborn, I'll do it all by myself." Gu Tianyou resolutely said, "If it's really for Le'er's sake, perhaps you should think of a way to help me."
"It's impossible for me to stand up and help you. After all, I still have the entire Wolongtang Village behind me." Fang Baiyu said in a deep voice, "However, I can promise that the Wolong Pond will not be your obstacle in the process of your operation. However, you must give me three guarantees. No matter whether you succeed or fail, you must live well. No matter what, you must do your best to protect Le'er from being harmed. Furthermore, the whole thing was done in your own name. We don't know anything about it."
When they came out of the Fang Clan, it was hard to calm down. A thought suddenly popped up in their minds: Big Head Fang and the rest of their generation were already old. He was no longer the Great King of the Smuggled Owl Mountain who licked his blood with his saber. Just like the dead tiger beneath his feet, he could only pretend.
