Chapter 237 – Two Brothers Acting a Samaritan Show (1/2)

“Guo Qing, listen to me, you won’t get far just dabbling in mobs for our countries, you didn’t do anything extreme, no one will do anything to you, once you really do something, that’ll be huge! Put it in a bad way, nobody can protect you then. Also, the reason I know about your recent actions is because the higher-ups have already set their eyes on you, and asked me to remind you to not go over the line too much,” When Jiang Yongfu and I had the call a few days ago, Jiang Yongfu mentioned about Guo Qing, since he knows that Guo Qing’s my buddy, he wanted me to remind him to not make it hard for the higher-ups.

“You’re talking about people in the police department? I have a few agents, why didn’t I hear them mention it?” Guo Qing asked weirdly.

I smiled wryly and shook my head, Guo Qing’s agents must be some low-leveled police, the things I’m talking about are the decisions of higher-ups, how would he know!

“You know the relationship between Chief Jiang and I, basically, keeping a low profile is good for you. Perhaps they will start taking severe measures against these activities soon, get your subordinates to restrain themselves,” I said. “Also, just relying on getting protection fees and fighting isn’t going to get you anywhere.

Guo Qing nodded sadly, “Yeah, I had thought mobs were so great, I did not know about there bing way too many responsibilities for the boss, all the subordinates rely on me to feed them.”

“I did get some news, I thin kin a few years, the entire country would have places like this,” I said. “Have you thought about opening a larger entertainment city or night club?”

“Entertainment city? Open that for what?” Guo Qing said without understanding. “The people opening these places not only have to pay taxes, they also have to pay us protection fees, what can they earn? And they have to pay salaries for the waiters.”

“Hehe,” I smiled mysteriously. “What are your subordinates for? They can act as waiters and guards when they have nothing to do, that would also mean that there’s no need for people to protect the place.”

“That’s true, but will these stuff really work? Many of the places like this we protect have closed down!” Guo Qing said in confusion.

“Of course you will earn money, ever since the reform, quite a lot of people started getting richer, it is naturally for some of the people to look for more mental or physical enjoyment, it is natural for the entertainment industry to flourish,” I continued. “The ones you talked about closed down because they didn’t know how to run it! The size of places like night clubs can’t be too small, if it’s too small, they would feel like it’s cheap! Think about it, the people that can afford these kind of places are usually big bosses, these people normally don’t care much about money, so the higher class the place is, the more they are willing to spend! On the other hand, no matter how cheap those small-scale night clubs are, nobody will go, because normal civilians can’t afford it, and the big bosses have no interest in it!” I spoke out the experience from my previous life.

Guo Qing couldn’t help but nod after hearing that,” That’s true now that you say it, no matter how expensive those large places are, people still go there, the ones that close down are the small ones!

“Yep! This is using different tactics for different people. If you renovate the market into a palace, nobody will go,” I said.

“I understand! No matter how fancy the market place is, there won’t be that many rich people going there, since they rarely cook, while normal civilians will not go to such high class place to buy groceries!” Guo Qing said excitedly.

“That’s right, these are two extremes,” I said.

Guo Qing nodded thoughtfully.

I could only say so much, since I cannot decide a person’s life. However, as a caring rminder, I don’t want my good bro to repeat the life of those underground bosses.

In the first class section of the plane towards City S, just as I was resting my eyes, very loud noises come from in front of me.
