Chapter 148: Domination
Xiaoli Village is only 3 kilometers away from Luoyang city and is located at the foot of Beimang Mountain. It is said that the famous Luoyang shovel was invented by a villager named Li Yazi in Xiaoli Village.
50-year-old Lao Getou opened a shop next to the highway at the entrance of the village. There were a few crooked words "Gejia Shaw" written on the door, and various tools such as probe shovels, staples, shovel blades, etc. were hung on the iron doors on both sides.
People in the industry know that this is not a place to sell agricultural tools, and the tools in this store are all used for tomb robbing.
Lao Getou was sitting at the door with a cigarette puff basking in the sun. For some reason, the business was a bit difficult recently. Those old customers who used to buy goods seemed to have not come one day - were they all washed their hands? Is there something big happening in the tomb robbery world that I don’t know?
Just as he was thinking, three people came from afar, the leader was thin and weak, with gray hair, and looked like he was in his forties. Two men followed him, one of whom was a burly, short man with a shocking scar on his face. The other was tall, with wide joints and shiny eyes.
When Lao Getou saw the lead man's fat jade ring on his thumb, his eyes lit up: This is a big buyer!
The three of them entered the store, but didn't say anything, and looked around.
Lao Getou hurriedly followed behind and introduced, "What are you planning to buy?"
"What are you here?" The scar face's voice was very thick, and his words rubbed against metal, which made people feel uncomfortable when they heard it.
"What do you want? Ancient shovels, general exploration shovels, mud exploration shovels, broken brick shovels, sand-drawing shovels, flat shovels, prying shovels, gray pile shovels, gun hole shovels, brush shovels, soil sample shovels, archaeological hand shovels, and barrel shovels are all available.
There are all kinds of scientific research probes, poles, Obito sample needles, high-strength archaeological ropes and underground metal detectors."
Lao Ge's avatar looks like a crosstalk actor, and his face is not blushing or breathing. This is an eloquence that has been practiced for many years of business, which makes the two men stunned.
The tall man muttered, "Isn't it just a Luoyang shovel? There are so many more roads."
Lao Ge smiled: "There are many types of Luoyang shovels, and each shovel has different uses and uses. Ladies only know Luoyang shovels, and insiders don't call them that."
The tall man looked at him coldly: "You talk a lot."
Lao Ge's neck shrank in fear. His eyes were so scary that he was sweating in his crotch.
The gray-haired thin man smiled and pointed to a sign in the store - "It is strictly forbidden to use it for illegal tomb robbing."
Lao Getou smiled awkwardly. There are some specialties in this brand standing here. This is called "No silver here, three hundred taels", which is considered an advertising sign.
It seems that this thin man is their leader. He is unmoved by his own words. He must have seen the world and looked down on his own goods. He must get some more valuable guys out.
Lao Getou looked at the mutton fat jade ring on his hand, swallowed, and attached it to his ear and said softly: "I have a relative who can get an electric lettering machine and a desktop polisher... I don't know if you are old..."
Everyone in the industry knows that these two things are tools for restoring cultural relics, and only some cultural relics dealers with deeper knowledge will use this kind of thing.
Lao Getou judged that this extraordinary thin man was either a cultural relic dealer or a tomb robber. From the respectful expressions of the other two men to him, it was obvious that his status was not low-key. And the mutton fat jade ring on his hand was not worn by anyone.
Lao Getou has a good vision. The three people in front of him are Li Tianming and two of Deli's subordinates, Scar Jin, Niu Da.
They come here not to buy things, but to find people!
...
After the people sent by Longtou left, Li Tianming was still frightened for several days. After a few days, he suddenly realized.
After the initial fear, the excitement of the rest of the disaster occupied Li Tianming's heart.
Since the leader lets him go this time, it means he still has value in use.
He figured it out that if he wanted to save his life and have a prosperous business, he could only constantly improve his value.
This time, the leader showed his strength. With him as his backer, I can let it go.
Mangshan will be my world in the future - no, Luoyang, Changsha, inside and outside the pass, what is the small Mangshan? I want to dominate the whole country.
Li Tianming lifted the ban and his subordinates began to spread out and move around. He himself began to show up frequently outside.
Hiding and hiding for so many years, I want to tell the world - the fifth of the five tigers of the Li family, Li Tianming is finally back!
During these days, Li Tianming's footprints were spread all over the mountains, his hometown, town, and village... Li Tianming walked with his head held high, and everyone who saw him from afar was whispering.
Unlike before, when we walked up to the front, everyone did not dodge, but instead came up to say hello, climbed up and handed cigarettes and tea, and their tone was full of respect.
Li Tianming was very satisfied. It turned out that he felt so good to be praised and respected! He spent the first half of his life in vain!
After the polite words, many people asked Li Ergou's family if Li Tianming did it. Li Tianming did not deny it or admit it. He just smiled slightly, closed his eyes, and left everyone with a mysterious smile.
Soon the gossip spread, Li Ergou was indeed destroyed by Li Tianming.
The effect was obvious. Several tomb robbers sent people to pass on messages, expressing their respect for Li Tianming, and expressed their willingness to play with Li Tianming in front of each other.
Li Tianming doesn’t like them. Who are you, and you still want to make a fuss with me?
Some relatives, friends and elders who are not even able to get a chance to get a call from each other, hoping that Li Tianming can take care of his son/nephew/cousin, find a job for you to make a fortune together.
Li Tianming saw the faces of these people and hated them in his heart. Why didn’t you come out when my father had an accident? They all fought to leave their relationship with my family like disaster relief stars.
Now that I know that I am well-developed, I come up to fight for something. When I was in trouble, how did you treat me?
Humph, you ignored me yesterday, but today I made you unable to stand up!
Li Tianming didn't refuse them, but just asked them to go back and wait for news.
During these days, Li Tianming's subordinates also moved around under his instructions. Soon after, the information was fed back.
After Li Ergou's incident, most of the tomb robbers in the Mangshan area were quiet. At least no one dared to dig antiques during this period, and no one wanted to be buried in the tomb by Li Tianming.
These subordinates also passed the message according to Uncle Li's intention: Uncle Li is a kind person and will not cut off everyone's life. As long as Uncle Li stepped on the plate and no one touched it, we will not make things difficult for you-
As for what plates Uncle Li stepped on? We have the final say. If Uncle Li stepped on all the plates in Mangshan, then you can only dig them in your own acre of three-point fields.
The meaning of these words is very obvious. If you want to dig a tomb in Mangshan in the future, you have to see my Li Tianming's look.
Scar Jin couldn't understand, he couldn't figure out what the purpose of Uncle Li's utterance was.
Li Ergou was dead, and the others dared not move. Why didn’t you strike while the iron was hot and rob the business in Mangshan? Why do you have to leave a way for others?
Li Tianming had to patiently explain to him that he could not do anything. There are at least tens of thousands of people engaged in tomb robbery in the Mangshan area. If you ruin everyone's jobs, don't they fight with you? The rabbit is anxious and even kicking an eagle!
Besides, the tomb robbery industry cannot be the only one. If you have the lead, you can't become a thorn in everyone's eyes. Our strength is not yet at that level.
Scar Gold was confused again. What kind of chess are you playing? You have to monopolize the market and give people a way out. Isn’t this a fight with yourself?
Li Tianming twisted his beard and smiled, "You are half right. I am playing chess. Experts must look at the overall situation when playing chess! Think about it, is there any way to make the tens of thousands of tomb robbers in Mangshan obey me?"
Scar Jin said with a stutter on his neck: "Want, if you don't accept it, beat it until you are beaten!"
Li Tianming shook his head. This naughty green man was really helpless. "No matter how powerful you are, how many people can fight? Tens of thousands of people are standing here, so that you can't beat you!"
"Yinzi, think about what method should you use?" Li Tianming asked in a show-off manner.
"Capture the king first!" Yinzi said coldly.
Li Tianming's eyes lit up. This guy's realm is really in heaven and earth, and he can understand his own thoughts.
"That's right, although some small tomb robbers are now suppressed by us and dare not act rashly. But they always have to eat, but after a long time, they still have to work. We can't stop it, and we can't control it."
"Then what should we do?" Scar Jin touched his head and became confused again.
"Capture the king first! As long as we control several major families, the others will naturally follow my leader."
When everyone heard this, they nodded, looking like they understood it. They didn't understand the word "control" deeply, thinking that it was just a matter of scaring.
Of course, Li Tianming understood that control was not that simple, and he already had a complete plan in his mind.
"Yinzi, how is the situation going on inquiry these days?"
"There is no movement in the area near us. However, the four major families in Luoyang are still active, and Li Ergou's affairs seem to have little impact on them."
Li Tianming nodded, "Well! Which of these four major families has the greatest power?"
"Ma Lao San from Xiaoli Village, Mapo."
Li Tianming frowned: "Is it the third Ma Laosan who is known as Prince Ma?"
Yinzi nodded.
Li Tianming took a deep breath: "Let's just take him first!"
