Chapter 347: The Old Grievances with Shichahai Martial Arts School
"Arong, it must be Brother Feilong and Mrs. Lindsay. Don't think too much and put on your makeup first." Manager Mr. Tang whispered in his ear.
"That's right."
Zhang Guorong nodded.
He was just about to enter the dressing room when Zhao Dong and Lindsay came in with people.
"Mrs. Lindsay, Mr. Zhao." When the celebrities saw Lindsay, they quickly greeted her.
Zhao Dong and the two were a little surprised to see so many rich people from Hong Kong appearing here. They greeted Zhang Guorong first and then greeted them.
Of course, the main person these rich people greeted was Lindsay, and they also caught up with Zhao Dong. Only Mrs. Guo and Brother Ji chatted seriously with Zhao Dong.
"Mr. Zhao, I don't know when it is convenient. Mr. Li and I would like to pay a visit?" Mrs. Guo asked.
Zhao Dong was startled and said with a smile: "Our family is not a wealthy family, just an ordinary old Beijing family. You two can go any day. You just need to inform us at the last minute to avoid being rude."
Mrs. Guo and Brother Ji smiled bitterly in their hearts, you are considered an ordinary person, aren't you too humble?
The two quickly made an appointment to visit the Zhao family at ten o'clock in the morning. Tomorrow falls on Saturday.
After chatting with the two for a few more words, Zhao Dong learned that the purpose of these people coming to Beijing was to invest.
During this time, there was a popular rumor among the wealthy circles in Hong Kong City that both the Guo family and Brother Ji would develop in the mainland, and this was Mrs. Lindsay's suggestion.
These rich people are very worried about being targeted by Mrs. Lindsay and following in the footsteps of the four major real estate families, so they are also looking for opportunities to invest in the mainland. Especially those whose families have real estate business are more active.
Then there is another point. Tianlong Investment has recruited hundreds of billions of dollars to invest in the mainland. They also think this is a huge opportunity, so they want to follow up and have some soup, so they specially used Zhang Guorong's concert to make an appointment to go together. .
They did not form an investment group like last time, nor did they notify the senior management. They hoped to discuss the investment issue with Lindsay first and find out her thoughts before making a decision.
Zhao Dong knows that these port city rich people have a very big problem, that is, they are not interested in investing in high-tech industries. They can only engage in low-value-added factories such as assembly and processing. In the future, except for finance and tourism, other industries in that city will be useless, and it will be wasted. Many features of a world-class financial centre.
That is to say,
These people have no long-term goals, their vision is too low, and they just want to make quick money.
However, this is exactly what he wanted. Tianlong Investment Bank has now integrated dozens of group companies, involving dozens of industries. These industries have their own upstream and downstream industry chains, among which there are a large number of low value-added links. Leave it to these people to invest.
What the country is short of is funds, and the arrival of these people can just fill some of the funding vacancies.
Leslie Cheung's concert was successfully completed, lasting more than three hours. The program was full, the fans enjoyed themselves, and the atmosphere was always lively.
After the concert, Zhao Dong invited guests to several restaurants and invited them to have supper.
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, the Zhao family received a visit from Mrs. Guo, Brother Ji and their children. All their children and grandchildren came.
Guo Binglian, the third eldest son of the Guo family, has come out, but Bingjiang, the second eldest son, has not and is likely to be imprisoned. This time Guo Laosan also followed Mrs. Guo to Beijing.
The Guo family is the only family among the four major real estate developers in Hong Kong that has staged a feud between wealthy families. In the last life, Boss Guo claimed to be the boss and made great contributions. In order to compete for more family property, he collected evidence in 12 years and personally reported the second and third sons. , in the end the second brother was imprisoned for five years. When he was released from prison, none of Mr. Guo was around, the third brother was detained, and the third brother Guo was betrayed by everyone, and even his own children looked down upon him.
But in this life, he had not had time to do it. Gao Ziang arranged for commercial spies to do what happened to Guo Lao Er and San. Although Mrs. Guo and Lao Er Lao San suspected that it was him, he was really wronged.
Now that Guo Laosan has come out, their family's business is gone, so they are not in the mood to argue with Guo Laosan. After Guo Laosan repeatedly promised that he was not responsible, the relationship between the two has eased.
The two families came to Sanbu Lao Hutong. Starting from outside the alley, they met many young people with stern faces. They felt as if they were being targeted by wolves.
Based on their experience, there is no doubt that these young men are bodyguards.
In fact, they guessed correctly. This was arranged by the upper management for the Zhao family. The Zhao family is different today, and the importance of Lindsay and Zhao Dong cannot be ignored.
"Don't talk nonsense."
The two families got off the car at the entrance of the alley and walked to Zhao's house. Mrs. Guo and Ji Ge specifically warned their grandchildren.
Mrs. Guo and Brother Ji are both elderly people, especially Brother Ji, who is seventy-one years old. To show respect, the old man and the old lady personally went to the gate of the courtyard to greet them.
"Ouch, don't take it seriously!"
Brother Ji and Mrs. Guo were very polite, and they found out clearly about the background of the Zhao family. These were two generals. Mrs. Lindsay and Zhao Dong both stood respectfully behind the two elders, and they were both older than them, so they naturally had to be humble. Attitude.
"Come on, come on, everyone, please come in. Our home is too simple, don't dislike it!" The hospitable Li Meizhu stepped forward and greeted her warmly.
There are two houses in this quadrangle. Now only the Zhao family has moved out. The other families have moved out. Arrangements have been made for those who want to live in high-rise buildings and those who want to live in a quadrangle. They have also subsidized a large amount of money, which is far more than the current demolition costs.
In addition to the Zhao family, there are also a group of foreign bodyguards from Lindsay and Zhao Dong, as well as a group of assistants. Lindsay has a complete office system here, and his subordinates come in and out from time to time.
As soon as the Guo and Li families came in, the juniors looked curiously at this ordinary, simple, and even very old-looking courtyard house.
"Is this where Mrs. Lindsay lives?"
They, the children of the top richest people in Hong Kong City, simply cannot imagine that Mrs. Lindsay, the richest man in Hong Kong City, lives in this miserable place?
The old man arranged the reception area under the pomegranate tree in the second courtyard. Several middle-aged men and women from the second generation of the two families were accommodated, while the young people were arranged by Zhao Donglinsey.
In fact, this arrangement is inappropriate, because those young people and Zhao Donglin are not on the same level at all.
But the old man doesn't care about this. Of course young people stay with young people.
Besides, Zhao Dacheng is not at home. If Zhao Dong and Lindsay don't entertain these young people, there will be no one at home to entertain them.
Just seeing the old man asking Lindsay to receive his grandchildren made Brother Ji and Mrs. Guo very uneasy and restless.
Several wealthy daughters-in-law from their families winked at their children repeatedly, telling them to be good and not cause trouble, and that would be the end of it if they offended Mrs. Lindsay.
Zhao Dong and Lindsay brought a group of young people back into the courtyard. These young people were very reserved, answering questions and looking at the ground.
Their reactions were particularly tense when Lindsay was speaking.
Lindsay had too many things to do, so she just said a few words and then went to the office, leaving Zhao Dong to deal with it alone.
However, after Lindsay left, these young people became more lively. They really didn't dare to raise their heads and speak in front of Lindsay, but it was much better in front of Zhao Dong.
"Let's go, I'll take you to play in the alley for a while." Zhao Dong simply took them out.
There are still some interesting things in the alley, there is a lot to eat and drink, candied haws, stinky tofu and tofu, popcorn, dried croquettes, kidney beans, fried broad beans, wonton sellers, popsicle sellers, scissors grinders, walking around the streets. There are a lot of snacks and there is constant shouting.
"Play by yourself, eat and drink as much as you like."
After Zhao Dong said hello, he sat down on the door in front of the door like Uncle Zhang across the door, leaning against the pillar with his legs crossed and squinting in the sun.
A group of young people looked at Zhao Dong and then at the old man with all white hair opposite him. They looked exactly the same and couldn't help but look at each other.
Just like that, how did you get Mrs. Lindsay’s favor?
At noon, Li Meizhu made a meal of dumplings to entertain the guests. There were too many people. In addition to the old man, the old lady Lindsay and Zhao Dongqi came to the battle to get busy.
It was already two o'clock after seeing off Guo and Li's family. Zhao Dong had nothing to do and took Lindsay to go shopping in the alley.
There used to be thousands of alleys throughout Beijing. Except for a few dead ends, the others were one after another, connecting the entire city of Beijing. But even a Beijinger who is several decades old cannot visit all the alleys.
The two of them took some bodyguards and strolled around until they arrived at the nearby Shichahai Martial Arts School.
When it comes to this martial arts school, the Zhao brothers still have some grievances.
The Zhao family only moved back to their old home from the compound ten years ago, in 1989.
His brother Zhao Dacheng liked to practice martial arts. He had been taught by a special instructor in the army and was used to fighting in the compound. Not long after returning to the old house, his hands were itchy, so he took Zhao Dong to the Shichahai Martial Arts School to play.
At that time, Zhao Dacheng was fifteen years old and Zhao Dong was only twelve years old. Who cares if two and a half-year-old children want to play in the gym?
It was impossible without fighting. Under Zhao Dong's instigation, the daring Zhao Dacheng led Zhao Dong to block the door.
Now the martial arts school has a headache. Of course the teachers will not take action, but a group of tough-tempered students in the martial arts school have quit. They have all been trained. Who is afraid of whom?
At the beginning of the one-on-one duel, the students from the martial arts school were no match. Several were injured in a row, and the injuries were serious. Some had broken arms, and some had their heads broken. It was all done by Zhao Dacheng.
What he learned in the army was the technique of hurting people. He was still young and didn't know the severity of his attacks. How could these students in the martial arts school stop him?
The students couldn't beat them individually, so they immediately started fighting in groups. In the melee, several more students were injured, but the two brothers were also beaten to the ground.
Because seven or eight students were injured, and the injuries were too serious to explain to their parents, Shichahai Martial Arts School called the police, and the two brothers were immediately imprisoned.
In 1989, that incident had just passed, Beijing had just calmed down, and the external pressure was very strong. At that time, it was also a period of severe crackdown. Zhao Dong was young and fine, and Zhao Dacheng was fifteen years old, barely old enough to eat peanuts. If this is more qualitative, then the peanuts will definitely be eaten.
At that time, Zhao Zhenguo was still in the army and could not return. After Li Meizhu was notified, she was almost frightened to death. Her legs were shaking and she could not move.
Fortunately, there was an old man and an old lady. The two old men immediately rushed to the martial arts school with Li Meizhu and apologized to the injured person. In the end, they paid a large sum of medical expenses and were fined a sum of money by the police station. They said a lot of good things. Basket, and some connections, because the Zhao Dong brothers are still young, they just let it go.
That is to say, all of their family members are paid by the government. The old man and the old lady are retired and old workers. They have some foundation, otherwise they will go bankrupt. In this way, the little old foundation has been almost spent.
After returning home, Zhao Dacheng, who took his younger brother out to fight, received a good beating from the old man, and his buttocks were spread open.
Zhao Dong was fine. Although he was 1.7 meters tall, he was only twelve years old after all. The old lady even rewarded him with a candied haws of sugar haws, which was a consolation after the fright.
Zhao Dacheng was wronged. It was his brother who suggested blocking the door. He ate candied haws, and I ate fried pork with bamboo shoots. Why was there such a big difference in treatment? Fortunately, Zhao Dong gave him a candied haws of sugarcane to eat, which calmed his grievances.
Zhao Dong now thought of the group of students who fought with their brothers. One of them was now a young actor, and they all went to Hong Kong City to make movies. That guy was Wu Jing, who would become one of the many martial arts stars and directors in the country.
He also watched a martial arts drama produced by this guy in the Mainland last year, called Tai Chi Master. The ratings were good, but the drama was not popular, so he deserved it! Calling the police if you can't win a fight has no martial ethics.
After the fight that year, Wu Jing and his two brothers often met each other because of their close proximity, but neither of them looked good.
"This wretched place has no martial ethics. It extorted a lot of money from our family, and our family didn't have much meat for half a year. We can't afford to offend him and can hide, so we have to go around."
After glaring at the gate of Shichahai Martial Arts School, Zhao Dong said to Lindsay.
Lindsay was a little confused. She glanced at the martial arts school and thought, her husband is afraid of this place. What kind of cruel place is this?
"Whenever I have free time, I will set up a stage at the door and block the door again." Zhao Dong said reluctantly as he prepared to take a detour.
Just at this time, a young man walked out of the school gate. Zhao Dong looked at it and thought, oh, enemies are gathering together!
The young man also happened to see the two of them and was equally startled.
"Why, Wu Jing, he couldn't survive in the port city and came back again?" Zhao Dong complained.
"Zhao Dong, I won't tell you. If you want to fight, let your brother come to me." Wu Jing said.
He and Zhao Dacheng lived in the same year, both in 1974, and were three years older than Zhao Dong. In that fight, he kicked Zhao Dong over, but was immediately knocked over by Zhao Dacheng, and his arm was damaged by the boss of the Zhao family. Well, among the people who lost money to the Zhao family, his family was among them.
"Hey! Do you want to call the police if you lose this time?" Zhao Dong clenched his fists and sneered.
"Who wants to call the police?"
Wu Jing's old face turned red and he shouted: "That was reported by the school, not by me."
"Then come on."
Zhao Dong walked over, and a large group of foreign bodyguards followed him after seeing this.
"Damn it, it looks like you're going to get beaten today."
Wu Jing looked at the gate of the martial arts school behind him and wanted to go back, but he was afraid of losing face and was very embarrassed.
In a fight, he really can't beat Zhao Dong now. The difference in tonnage and strength between the two sides is too big. Tyson can't beat him. He doesn't have the confidence to be stronger than Tyson.
Moreover, Zhao Dong was followed by ten or twenty tall foreign bodyguards. How could he fight this?
