Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Chapter 58 Turmoil
"A 30% increase?"

Jiang Cheng was also shocked when he heard the news.

"Yes."

Lu Zicheng said with a sad face, "It's not easy to make money by setting up a stall, and now the price has suddenly increased by 30%. How can I bear this? And this incident gives me a bad feeling."

Jiang Cheng guessed a little after hearing this, "You mean, the management fee may also increase?"

Lu Zicheng nodded.

Then he looked around and lowered his voice and continued, "Do you remember the gossip I told you half a month ago?"

"of course I remember."

"It seems that the Wild Wolf Gang has most likely been defeated and has no choice but to abandon this area, so they are reaping a lot of plunder before leaving, just like the previous gangs did before leaving."

Hearing him say this, Jiang Cheng's original body's memories emerged in his mind.

It seems true.

Whenever the previous gang was defeated by outsiders, they would often plunder them ruthlessly.

These vendors have already paid a lot for their stalls, and the price increase is too much. Firstly, they cannot afford it. Secondly, even if they can afford it, can they not pay it this month? After all, they can't be forced to set up stalls, right?

You don’t have to pay the stall fee, but you cannot avoid the management fee.

"Jiang Cheng, in three days, the Wild Wolf Gang will come to collect the stall fee. You should pay it, right?" Lu Zicheng said enviously, "After all, your business is so good, even if you pay 30% more, you can still make a profit."

Jiang Cheng heard this, but he was not as optimistic as he was.

The stall fees have increased, so there is no reason why the management fees should not increase as well.

As a result, there will definitely be fewer people taking care of his business, but I don’t know how much fewer they will be.

"What about you?"

Jiang Cheng asked back.

"I'm hesitating."

Lu Zicheng said worriedly, "The stall fee has increased by 30% all of a sudden, which is not a small amount. If the management fee also increases, I may not be able to pay the management fee after paying the stall fee. If I don't pay, I will have no source of income. I can't just sleep at home every day. And if more people don't pay, fewer people will set up stalls, and maybe business will be better."

"……Maybe."

Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment and said something.

How things will develop, we will know only then.

Fortunately, he has already applied for premium membership, so he doesn't have to worry about these problems for the time being.

"By the way, Jiang Cheng."

Lu Zicheng felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized something, "You don't want to borrow money from me, do you?"

"No, no." Lu Zicheng waved his hand first, then scratched his head, and said awkwardly: "I can't say no, I just want to say hello in advance. If I really have no money at that time, can you lend me a few hundred? I will definitely pay you back."

Jiang Cheng sighed, neither agreeing nor refusing, "Let's see what happens. Actually, I don't have any money on me right now. Not only that, I still owe a lot."

"what?"

There was suspicion in Lu Zicheng's eyes.

He has seen the booming business in Jiangcheng these days. He must have made at least three thousand yuan, right?

"You'll know in two days."

Jiang Cheng shook his head without further explanation.

"Ok."

Lu Zicheng touched his nose and walked back.

Nearing noon, the streets were still bustling with people.

The vendors also perked up and shouted hard, but most pedestrians seemed unaware.

When it was two or three in the afternoon, something happened.

From the other end of the street, several people came over. They were all wearing short-sleeved vests, with tattoos on their exposed backs and arms. What was scary was that, except for the leader, the others behind him all had machetes in their hands and had fierce eyes.

The moment they appeared, the originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet.

Members of the Wild Wolf Gang.

Only the Wild Wolf Gang members dared to walk on the street with knives in public.

The pedestrians on the street scattered like birds and animals.

The vendors stayed where they were, not daring to move.

Those who are close to him have to call him Brother Tian one by one.

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at them.

Although the original body had dealt with these people many times, this was the first time he saw them.

The leader is named Wu Tian, ​​also known as Brother Tian. Like Brother Bao, who goes door to door to collect management fees at the end of every month, they are all small leaders of the Wild Wolf Gang, but they are responsible for different areas. The eldest of the two is the real core of the Wild Wolf Gang.

Seeing the other party looking towards him, Jiang Cheng quickly lowered his head and pretended to be scared.

I have to say that the feeling these gang members give people is completely different from Liu Yang and Jiang Xiong.

These people have really hacked people to pieces and killed without blinking an eye.

And if they really killed someone on this street, they would have done so.

"Have you heard about what happened this morning?"

Wu Tian took out a pack of cigarettes from his body, took out a cigarette, and just as he put it in his mouth, a younger brother behind him took out a lighter and lit the cigarette.

He took a puff of the medicine happily, and then looked at the people around him and said, "It's not easy for us, the Wild Wolf Gang, to manage this street. Everyone has seen how well we have done in the past two years. We didn't want to raise the price, but the gang has encountered some difficulties recently. We have no choice but to raise the price. Not much, 30%. Is everyone okay with that?"

Everyone around lowered their heads.

How could I not have an opinion?

Ever since the Wild Wolf Gang took over this street, the stall fees have been rising again and again. Today, the price is even higher, with a direct increase of 30%!

But no one is stupid. The first bird to stick its head out will be shot. Anyone who sings a different tune at this time will definitely end up in a miserable state.

"not talking?"

Wu Tian smiled indifferently: "Okay, then I will take it as your consent. After three days, be more conscientious and come to me to pay the booth fee."

At this point, he paused, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared. "If you don't want to hand it over, don't come that day. Otherwise, if I catch you, it won't be solved with just a few words."

After saying that, he turned and left without even going to the other side of the street.

But the effect was obviously achieved.

Even if someone didn't hear clearly, they will know what was said by asking later, not to mention that they don't even need to ask deliberately.

Soon, there was a chorus of sighs.

Strictly speaking, there are still four or five days until the end of the month, but Wu Tian made it very clear that those who do not intend to pay do not need to come after three days. Two days have been wasted. Even though everyone has opinions in their hearts, they dare not say much.

By around five in the afternoon, there were obviously fewer people on the street.

Even Jiangcheng's business has been affected to some extent.

At around six o'clock, when it was time to close the stall, Jiang Cheng counted the net profit for the day, which was less than four hundred yuan, more than one hundred yuan less than the more than five hundred yuan in the previous few days.

Jiang Cheng's brows furrowed.

Something must have happened.

He couldn't help but feel worried. Would the money he earned in the next few days be less and less?
