Chapter 325 Once you take it, you can't go back on your word.
Meanwhile, Xiao Wenjie took a taxi, passed Zhongkeng Town, and arrived at the provincial border.
The driver dared not drive any further.
Ahead lies the territory of Wu County, Jiangxi Province.
Previously, taxi drivers from Yuanshan County and Wu County had a serious fight because of crossing the border to pick up passengers.
They had reached a tacit understanding.
Once the guest is dropped off at the provincial border, they should not be taken any further.
Whether it's convenient for the passengers is not something the drivers consider.
Xiao Wenjie walked for more than half an hour, entered a village, spoke to the locals in his hometown dialect, and then asked a local to take him to the county town by motorcycle.
He took a taxi from the county town, then switched to a motorcycle, and after a total of six hours of travel, he arrived at his hometown village in the early morning.
The mother recognized Xiao Wenjie.
"Is it the third child?"
"It's me, Mother."
Xiao Wenjie immediately knelt down.
Back in his hometown, his original name wasn't Xiao Wenjie; Xiao Jinding changed it for him to avoid trouble.
The elders in his family all like to call him Lao San (Third Brother).
After returning home.
Xiao Wenjie woke up all his brothers who were still sleeping at home and held an emergency meeting.
There were five brothers.
Xiao Wenjie planned to leave his eldest and second eldest brothers at home and bring his fourth and fifth brothers out.
Then he took out the money he had saved over the years, a total of 13 yuan, and gave it to his parents.
"Fourth and fifth brothers, you've been fighting with me since you were kids."
There's a great opportunity to make money outside now.
I'll take you to pan for gold.
As long as you're bold enough and listen to me, I guarantee you'll make a fortune.
Do you dare to do it?
Seeing that Xiao Wenjie could take out so much money at once, the two younger brothers believed their third brother.
Xiao Wenjie's actions were a desperate gamble, and he had prepared for the worst.
Leaving her two older brothers at home was her way of thinking that even if something happened to the three of them outside, their parents would still have someone to take care of them.
Moreover, both of his older brothers have gotten married and have children.
They cannot go out and take risks.
The three brothers, the third, fourth, and fifth, are young and unmarried, and it's the perfect time for them to work hard.
With the support of his two brothers, Xiao Wenjie felt even more confident.
But that's far from enough.
He took his fourth and fifth children to his aunt's house in the next county.
My aunt has four sons, two of whom work as debt collectors at a financial company in the county. To put it bluntly, they are thugs, people who operate in the underworld.
They specialize in violent debt collection.
They would go and collect on any family that borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates and failed to repay it.
They can do anything.
The base salary is 500, and the commission is based on the amount of debt recovered.
If the boss asks them to collect the debt, he usually treats it as a bad debt, expecting it will never be recovered. However, if his subordinates manage to collect it, the commission they receive is very high.
For every 10,000, you get a commission of 1500.
Xiao Wenjie's two cousins have done quite well over the years. They've saved up over 100,000 yuan, bought an apartment in the county town, and rebuilt their house in their hometown.
Upon finding the two cousins, Xiao Wenjie got straight to the point.
"Get me 30."
I'm going back to Yuanshan County to do something big.
The interest will be calculated according to your rules, and the loan will be for one year.
There's no collateral, just my face.
Do you believe me, your cousin?
The two younger cousins couldn't help but ask, "What big thing are they planning to do?"
"Just say whether you'll lend it or not, that's all."
"Borrow it!" his cousin declared. "Given your character, we'll try our best to scrape together the money for you."
As for the interest, we'll talk to the boss about it.
I will pay you according to the bank interest rate.
The boss's money also has costs.
Since you don't have collateral, my brother and I will act as guarantors for you.
You were willing to take a knife and kill those scumbags for your sister; we brothers will admire you for the rest of our lives for that.
For this reason alone, we'll lend them the money.
Two hours later, the two brothers returned the 300,000 yuan in cash.
It was packed in a leather bag, neatly arranged.
Xiao Wenjie took out the money and placed it on the table, then returned the wallet to his two cousins.
"No need."
I'm not taking this money with me.
Find me some young men who are bold, ruthless, and have a dark heart.
The family must be poor, with many siblings.
The age shouldn't be too high, the younger the better, don't invite people over 25.
Ideally, they should have a criminal record, at least one where they've been in a fight or attacked someone.
I found about ten or twenty people, and I picked a few.
This money is to be distributed among them.
When Xiao Wenjie said this, his two younger brothers and two cousins were stunned.
Borrow money and then give it away?
Has Third Brother lost his mind?
"Brother..." The younger brother, the fourth brother, wanted to say a few words of advice.
Xiao Wenjie raised his hand and stopped him with an air of authority: "I'm not confused."
You should all keep quiet.
I'll lend you the money, I'll pay it, I'll cover the losses.
You just need to follow my instructions and do as I say.
If you trust me, do as I say; if you don't, leave now.
The two younger brothers dared not say another word.
His two cousins, however, had other ideas.
"Third Brother, what big thing are you planning to do?"
If you're so confident, why bother finding outsiders?
We two brothers will go with you to Yuanshan County to work.
"What a waste to give away so much money to outsiders!"
Xiao Wenjie shook his head seriously and refused: "Brother, what I'm going to do is something neither of you can do."
As I just mentioned, you should look for someone whose family isn't well-off.
You are worldly people who have made money.
It's hard for them to go all out when faced with a problem.
It's not that I don't believe you, brother.
This is human nature.
Now that we have a foundation, we should safeguard our wealth.
You can stay at home, take care of your family, and the locals won't dare to mess with you. You guys are the most comfortable.
When we brothers fell on hard times and came to you, you still managed to give us some food.
After Xiao Wenjie said that, his two cousins stopped insisting.
As night fell.
My two cousins brought back more than 20 young men.
Xiao Wenjie has been in Xiapu for a long time, and he has taught a lesson to at least eighty or a hundred people.
Every day I see people who have committed crimes and have been arrested and taken to the detention center.
He sees more bad people than good people.
One glance is enough to tell who the tough guys are.
Ask them a few more questions to test them.
It's almost identical.
"I need 10 people, with a guaranteed minimum of 10,000 yuan per month."
He gave 30,000 yuan on the spot.
Take this money home and give it to your family so they can feel at ease.
The money I received today is not included in my salary.
If someone works for me and does a good job, I'll give them a bonus.
Dead, injured, captured, I'll take care of it.
If I lose my life, I'll pay 100 million in compensation.
Compensation will be provided depending on the circumstances of any injuries.
They'll give you 10 yuan a year if you're arrested.
I only have one rule: if I say I'll cut someone down, you cut them down.
You shall do whatever I, Xiao Wenjie, say.
My money is both easy and difficult to obtain.
If you follow me, you must be of one mind with me.
Betraying one's brothers is a major taboo.
Anyone who disobeys orders and betrays their brothers, I'll risk everything to take down their entire family.
If you've made up your mind, take the money, pack your things, and come with me.
Once you take it, you can't go back on your word.
"Raise your hand if you want to follow me."
A dozen or so people raised their hands.
Xiao Wenjie selected ten people and dismissed the others.
For those who weren't selected, he gave each of them an extra 200 yuan for tea.
He distributed 300,000 to ten of his men, and they all went away on the spot.
