Chapter 9 Network of Relationships
Not only did Gu Tianyou and Li Mingbo 's partnership not stop, but they also grew bigger and bigger with He Weiran 's secret support. The business has expanded to include ham sausage, instant noodles, all kinds of seasonings in bags, and even beer in bags. Although the price was much higher than the outside world, there was always a shortage of supply and demand.
As the business got bigger and bigger, more and more people joined in. Including the big shots of the prison officers and the main managers of the Armed Police Squadron, everyone got a piece of the pie. Gu Tianyou's influence in this courtyard was also growing. From prison officers to old and new prisoners, there was no one who didn't recognize him and didn't give him face. This posture seemed to be comparable to Lord Long's back then.
However, Gu Tianyou became more and more aware that this was just an illusion. All these people respected was their interests. Apart from He Weiran , they all wanted to get some benefits from themselves. As these people's appetites increased, they couldn't be satisfied with a small favor. Gradually, Gu Tianyou felt more and more pressure on his body. He Yuran finally understood what He Yuran had said when he agreed to do this business.
"Doing a business is actually controlling a circle of interests, If the circle was built around you, To last long, then you have to find a way to satisfy everyone in the industry, "Don't let them feel that they are getting more, because everyone in the industry feels that they are contributing more, but even so, you can't satisfy everyone. After getting more than others, they will want more than you, unless you can keep suppressing everyone. Do you think you can?"
This is the first paragraph of He Weiran 's words. At that time, he also said another paragraph, "There are some reasons that are not enough, so I will give you a chance to verify them. I want you to prove yourself that you are not the material to do business. At that time, I hope that you can see the world more clearly than you do now. At the same time, you can recognize yourself and find a suitable position for you."
"Why are you so nice to me?" Tianyou asked him at the time.
He Weiran sighed and said, "Perhaps, When your mother gave birth to you in prison, I even thought about adopting you, I didn 't do so for some objective reason, After that, I entrusted you to Lord Long to take care of. Over the years, I watched you grow up day by day. Fortunately or unfortunately, you finally have a place in this place. I'm very happy for you. I'm going to retire soon. Before I leave, I hope to see you leave this place in good health and enter society. "
"Do you still remember what kind of person my mother is?"
"She looks very delicate, her personality is bright and very strong. Not only do you look like her, but your personality is also very similar."

"No, she was seriously ill when she left, but I remember that she often talked to you when she was alive."
"Do you remember what she said?"
"She wants you to grow up and not have the same fate as her. Once I heard her say to you, I hope you can put on a big cap when you grow up." He Weiran paused for a moment before continuing, "I think she wants you to be an upright person."
Time passed. Four months had passed since He Weiran's last visit, and it was the end of the Lunar New Year. After this year, He Weiran will retire. If he wants to give up this business, he must make a decision before he retires.
Gu Tianyou was still hesitant. This determination was not easy for a young man who was not even fourteen years old and was in control of a business with annual profits of several hundred thousand yuan.
Recently, Liu Heilian would come over from time to time. The two big shots of the Armed Police Squadron had also come a few times. They all came for this business.
No wonder they remembered that even a fool could see how easy it was to do this business. In a closed environment, there were thousands of hungry wine and meat trainees in custody. Under the absolute monopoly mode of operation, the price of a pack of cigarettes sold for ten yuan was three times less than the price of a pack of cigarettes sold outside. Bags of beer are sold for two dollars a bag outside, and ten dollars a bag is in short supply here. The daily flow of water for a fixed consumer group of several thousand people was around twenty to thirty thousand.
Although it has been counted to every link, although it has tried to make friends than do business in the principle of selling goods. However, it still couldn't stop the deposit in the bank card from increasing every day. This money was truly too hot for Xiao Tianyou. For Wan Baoquan and Liu Heilian, it was a little too tempting.
Gu Tianyou finally calmed down and decided to quit the business. Thus, he came to find He Weiran .
As the leader of the explosion team had said before, it was not important for a person to do anything. What was important was to do it happily, suited to his own ability and temperament. Obviously, this business was like a train that was going out of control for Gu Tianyou. No one in that circle could be absolutely suppressed by Tianyou, so there was naturally no way to stop their greed for this business. Now, Gu Tianyou had deeply experienced the meaning of He Weiran 's words that day.
"Are you determined to quit?"
"En, it's too difficult. The three of them are all trying to rope me in. I guess if we continue, we won't even have a chance to retreat."
"After all, it's a net you've worked hard to build. Don't you think it's a pity to give up just by saying that?"
"To be honest, is a little unwilling, Sometimes on the road, Seeing that the cadres who used not to put eyelids on me greet me from afar, '"I really like that in my heart. There are also those criminals who used to treat me like a child. Few of them really look up to me. Now, no matter who is in charge of the prison or who is new here, anyone who sees me will give me three points of courtesy. Some people even place their hopes on me for a commutation of my sentence."
"This is the first time I've heard of this."
"Actually, I have already helped Li Mingbo increase his points through Liu Tou."
"Old Liu is going too far. So I agree to set up this commissary. On the one hand, it is to alleviate the hunger of the prisoners and at the same time, it can also bring some benefits to the comrades. For a warden, it is inappropriate to treat it as a way to make money, or even to shake your principles in order to win you over."
He Weiran 's expression became serious as he said righteously, "Go on, tell me who else did you use that small circle to help?"
Gu Tianyou thought for a moment. " Li Mingbo 's family is wealthy, and there are other prisoners who are wealthy. For example, Old Jia, who poured fake cigarettes into the house, will be released on parole in a few days. I also helped him run it. I asked the instructor of the Armed Police Squadron to review Old Jia's judgement through the procuratorate he contacted before revising his sentence," he said. action
He Weiran frowned as he listened. As he listened, he silently observed Gu Tianyou. When he heard this, he sighed and said, "You've merged the resources of the prisoners and the management cadres together. I didn't expect that a small decision that day would allow you to evolve so many messy and complicated relationships." "Is there anything else?"
Gu Tianyou pondered for a moment, then remembered something worth mentioning. "You remember a man named Meng Fanfang from the Western Supervision Region three months ago, right?" He said.
"Remember, the case on this person's back is not small. He was sentenced to life."
"In fact, he escaped, As far as I know, someone's out there fishing for him, Old Meng was addicted to cigarettes, It didn't take long for you to get close to me, I think his case is wicked, Ignoring him at first, Then he had my nephew find the squadron leader outside, "I had to perfunctory him a few times, but he once suggested that he wanted to make friends with me. He said that he knew he couldn't get out and just wanted to live comfortably inside. He also wanted to be a big shooter in the Western Campus. He was a very talkative person. I'm sure that he was carrying a big case on his back and that he was enough to hit the target if he said it out loud."

"Once, I delivered him a beer at night. He said he would let me drink some for safety."
"You really have a lot of face. I heard that the prison officers and the armed police checked the numbers at night and saw you turn around and leave?"
"It's all bullsh*t. When they see me, they'll come and get something from me." Gu Tianyou continued the conversation, "I stayed to drink with him for a while, Later, he might be happy and whispered in my ear. He said that my brother wasn't an ordinary person when I was outside. There were more than three hundred kidnappers under him, and every single one of them sold hundreds of thousands of yuan every day. If anyone in your family was sick, they would need to change organs or something to find him. I have a way to … … … En, that's what I said. "
Kidnappers, hundreds of thousands of transactions, organ replacement, a few keywords linked together, think about it all feel terrifying.
He Weiran stared at Gu Tianyou, "What do you think?"
"What can I think of, I'm not going to report this to you, But if you ask for my opinion, "I suggest you stabilize him first. This old Meng Special Thief is not something ordinary old Jianghu can compare to. He has been sentenced to life. If he speaks too much, he will only take a step further. This person has no way out, and he has so much experience in counter-reconnaissance. It will be very difficult to get something out of his mouth. If you are in a hurry, once you alarm him, then there will be no chance."
"I didn't expect you to be so experienced at such a young age. I don't think you're good for business. You're a good material for a policeman." He Weiran smiled and said, "This situation is very important. I will report it to the higher ups. Looks like you have more than just a negative effect."
"It doesn't matter anymore. You will retire after the new year. I guess it's time for me to leave." Gu Tianyou sighed with a gloomy expression, "If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't be able to continue this business. Therefore, I intend to take advantage of you to let this business go."
"Get out? To whom?" He Weiran chuckled and said, "Didn't you consider taking a step back? Talk to them properly, divide the benefits of each person clearly, let them restrain each other, form a balance, and then find another prisoner to do this instead of you. Do you think it would be better to deal with it like this?"
"Didn't you consider closing the business?"
"There 's nothing wrong with the deal itself, The police are a tough job, The prison police were even more miserable and poor, "Brothers, it's not easy. It's easier to raise the management efficiency by making a little welfare. Besides, I'm already a retiree. Even if I do, I can only temporarily shut myself down. They have tasted the sweetness and will continue to do so soon. Since that's the case, why should I do this pig-like thing? In the end, it's useless."
"Alright, I understand. I'll give this job to Li Mingbo . I'll talk to Liu Tou and the squadron leader about this later.
