Chapter 141 Master Deng?That's my uncle!
Although Lin Ran had never heard of Deng Kaitai's name, it was not difficult to see that in Wei Chengbin's heart, Deng Kaitai was definitely a heavenly being!
But how could Yang Jianlong know such a person?
Lin Ran was murmuring in his heart, but then he smiled with relief.
Although Yang Jianlong is now just the son-in-law of the Zheng family, this guy is at least a Pao brother.
Brother Pao was a secret organization during the Qing Dynasty.
Different from gangster organizations, there are people in the Pao Ge Club ranging from high-level military officials to beggars.
Brother Pao is also divided into Brother Qingshui Pao and Brother Muddy Water.
Brother Qingshui Pao's joining the Pao Brother Association is just a side job, and he has a fixed source of income from his own main business.
Brother Muddy Waters is a professional brother. If he wants to make money through his identity, he will inevitably commit adultery.
Brother Qingshui Pao also often looks down on Brother Muddy Waters Pao.
Originally, the Pao brothers were only active in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, but with the emergence of war and the Sichuan army going to fight across the country, some Pao brothers have settled in other areas.
For example, Yang Jianlong, Paoge who came from Henan, made the right choice during the war years because of the Conglong factor. So after the war, their family moved to the capital and became the aborigines of the new capital.
But their Pao Ge will still exist and have extraordinary influence.
"Master Deng? Are you talking about Deng Kaitai?" Yang Jianlong laughed loudly, "He is the leader of our Henan Pao Brother Association, and he is also my father's brother."
"Your father's most popular brother, you just call him by his name?" Lin Ran couldn't help but find it funny.
"Godfather, you don't understand this. Uncle Deng is a very open-minded person. He often teased me when he was a child, saying that when I call him uncle, when he is old, he wants me to call him brother or just call him by his name." Yang Jianlong recalled every bit of his life in his hometown, with a trace of relief on his face.
"Oh? You are so enlightened. Why would you do such a thing as expropriating land?" Lin Ran didn't understand.
Wei Chengbin quickly explained: "Sir, you have misunderstood. In fact, Mr. Deng's attitude is to reach an agreement with the demolition households before proceeding with demolition, and requires the following to listen to the opinions of the people."
"But the people below used chicken feathers as arrows. They came to their homes in the middle of the night with instructions for voluntary demolition, and pressed their hands to put their fingerprints on it."
Wei Chengbin sighed: "It's a pity that ordinary people like us have no way to appeal!"
Hearing this, Lin Ran nodded.
Just three years ago, China implemented a new economic system, which triggered a signal for economic restructuring in various places.
In order to improve the local economic level, the local area needs to carry out extensive infrastructure construction, such as building railway stations and building transportation thoroughfares, and then attracting investment from other places so that wealthy people can build money-making facilities locally.
For example, building factories and building commercial districts. The entertainment city mentioned by Wei Chengbin is part of the commercial district.
Of course, land acquisition will inevitably affect the lives of some farmers and handicraft practitioners.
Especially in relatively backward areas, which have just emerged from the shadow of war, they firmly believe that land is the most important means of production.
It is impossible to give up their land no matter what, so there are many people who do not cooperate with the work. At first, they would try to persuade them kindly, but the local government's patience is limited.
At this time, some so-called non-governmental organizations need to take action.
Pao Gehui is one of the important chess pieces. They have a certain reputation in the local area and their members are spread across various industries.
Letting them handle and promote this matter can be considered an expedient measure.
"Well, Mr. Deng has a good reputation in the local area. Everyone says that he is a friendly and friendly person, but they don't want his subordinates to deliberately misinterpret his meaning and pretend to be powerful."
"There are also many people who used his name to embezzle demolition funds. For example, our workshop is not given a penny of subsidies. What is the difference between this and directly forcing us to jump off a cliff?"
When Wei Chengbin finished speaking, his tone became a little weak.
Since Yang Jianlong and Deng Kaitai had such a good relationship, Lin Ran couldn't help but have an idea in his mind. Isn't this the best time to conquer Wei Chengbin?
He said to Yang Jianlong: "Jianlong, since you have such a good relationship with Deng Kaitai, can you help solve this matter?"
"Put it on me." Yang Jianlong patted his chest, then turned the car and drove towards Wangjing City.
"Where are you going?" Lin Ran asked curiously.
"Go to the telephone exchange." Yang Jianlong said, "It takes too much time to send the letter there, so I will call him directly."
Yang Jianlong smiled and said: "Dad, do you know what a phone is? This thing is very convenient. You can call others even though you are thousands of miles away."
Lin Ran smiled, how could he not know about a phone? On the contrary, Yang Jianlong might not know what a mobile phone is.
Wei Chengbin definitely didn't understand, but he felt very shocked.
He had only seen some people wearing a small box on their waist before, which would make a beeping sound, and then others could receive the message.
Those responsible for acquiring land often used this method to deliver messages.
There was a telephone exchange opposite Wangjing City. Yang Jianlong parked the car and invited Lin Ran and Wei Chengbin to go in with him.
This was the first time Lin Ran saw a telephone exchange. It looked a bit like a post office, with a teller sitting behind the counter and a telephone set on the table.
There were many people inside shouting loudly, seemingly shouting.
It seems that most people still think that the phone is a novelty and do not understand the principle.
Yang Jianlong walked to an empty counter, handed the teller a banknote, then picked up the phone and dialed: "Hey, deduct 99633 for me, three times."
Then hung up the phone.
Lin Ran felt a little curious and asked, "Jianlong, who are you calling?"
"Godfather, I'm calling Deng Kaitai." Then, Yang Jianlong took out the bb machine from his waist and said, "I just called the paging station. The paging station will send the message to Deng Kaitai's bb machine. When he receives the message, he will immediately Call me back.”
After waiting for about 10 minutes, the phone rang.
Yang Jianlong answered the phone and actually spoke in dialect.
Lin Ran didn't understand it very well, but Wei Chengbin was stunned for a while.
Yang Jianlong suddenly faced Wei Chengbin and asked, "Is your workshop called Wei Taotang?"
Wei Chengbin nodded like a rattle: "Exactly!"
Yang Jianlong said a few more words on the phone and then hung up.
"What's going on?" Lin Ran and Wei Chengbin asked in unison.
"Uncle Deng knew about the forced expropriation of your village and seemed very angry. He said that he would call Li Kai to find out. Li Kai should be the person who forcibly expropriated your family's land, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Wei Chengbin was overjoyed. Yang Jianlong made it clear that he was not bluffing him.
Not long after, Yang Jianlong's BB phone rang, five times in total.
Yang Jianlong smiled: "It's done, your workshop is fine."
"Really?" Wei Chengbin was obviously in disbelief.
"If you don't believe me, don't you believe Deng Kaitai? He said it doesn't matter if it doesn't need to be demolished." Yang Jianlong said proudly, as if he had done it.
Wei Chengbin felt like he was dreaming.
The heavy burden that weighs on countless people can be solved with just a phone call?
