In the past nearly year, Hardman has put too much time and energy into the Year of the Rat zodiac.

That cute little mouse not only brought him wealth, but also reflected in his mind every day, and even followed him into dreamland every night.

Hardman has been collecting information about rat stamps every day, and the briefing papers have become a thick pile.

He often used these briefings to fool buyers and discussed the past and present of zodiac tickets with his peers.

Gradually, he became recognized as an expert on the Year of the Rat zodiac tickets by the Peace Arch Postal Market.

He himself has come to love this "mouse" in his heart as a mouse image that is far cuter than the American Mickey Mouse.

He even had the ambition to become the "Rat King" of the capital within two years.

He wants all stamp buyers in the capital to think of him when they mention the Year of the Rat zodiac stamp.

However, now, just as he was preparing for a big fight, large quantities of goods from unknown origins continued to appear, catching him off guard.

In his territory, two uninvited guests suddenly broke in, trampled on his fruits, ravaged and destroyed his will.

Can he not feel bitter in his heart?

Can his anger not explode?

When he thought of this, Hardmen's teeth chattered.

He couldn't wait to use his best method of violence to get rid of the jackal attached to his back.

But he finally endured it.

Because although he has a bloody nature and a naturally violent temper, he is not a reckless man who only knows how to hit and charge violently.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to make a fortune quickly just one year after I was released from Chadian'er.

What does he rely on?

It means having a long-term vision and being cautious before acting.

He knew that times had changed, and the tricks he used to play with his arms and legs could no longer be tolerated.

The most obvious evidence is that the "Buddhas" who were looked down upon in the past were all doing better than the famous "players".

Just because they are smart, under the social background of reform and opening up, they can always find ways to make a fortune without going to court.

Speculating on stamps is one of the few and extremely rare ways to make money. He was lucky enough to get into this business.

Thanks to his neighbor's kid, Xiao Si'er, who collected stamps and asked him to help line up to buy hot-selling stamps, he was lucky enough to find such a safe job.

Especially since he had just come out and encountered a "big sweep" to clean up the dregs of society.

Looking at the people I used to associate with, those who have not changed their lifestyles are either in jail or far away from the border.

How could you not cherish these hard-won and comfortable days?

Therefore, resorting to violence to solve problems does not exist, especially in business matters.

To put it bluntly, the most important thing about stamp speculation is the freedom of buying and selling.

As long as the stamps are not stolen, no one can interfere with how they buy or sell them.

If he wants to retaliate against someone for buying and selling stamps, then he can't afford to spread the word, and his reputation will be completely ruined.

At the same time, it is tantamount to destroying the foundation of the prosperity of the postal market and damaging the common interests of all major postal market owners.

Bullying and dominating the market is of course enjoyable and prestigious, but it is not far from actually going to jail.

He understood the principle of being unjust and having few helpers, and he did not want to offend the public.

It’s really disappointing. It’s definitely not worth spending the rest of your life for a moment of pride!

And the little prestige he has established in a special circle, and the scars left on his body from big battles and small battles.

In fact, the best way to use it is to act as a deterrent.

Let others not dare to mess with him or play tricks with him. In business, just respect him and give him a thumbs up.

What's more, this is the first time he has encountered such a difficult opponent.

What he is worried about is that even if he uses dishonorable means, he will not be able to solve the problem.

The probability of kicking the iron plate is probably greater.

But the problem is, having said that, he has never been able to come up with an effective way to curb such bullying, and it doesn't work either.

Never just watch and take no action.

Otherwise, you will lose the respect of your subordinates, become the laughing stock of everyone in the postal market, and even cause serious economic losses.

So after much thought, Hardman made a rational choice, and probably the only choice - negotiation.

He wanted to take a good look at these two masters who dared to take advantage of the fire, and personally explored their paths to see what kind of powerful characters they were.

At 2:30 that afternoon, Dazhong Restaurant.

Because it was not lunch time, the restaurant was preparing food, and most of the people in the restaurant had gone to the kitchen to rest.

Because Hardman came and went frequently, he used his reputation in the world to get acquainted with people in the restaurant.

The people in the restaurant were also willing to treat him as a person and give him some thin noodles.

So at this time, he ordered a pot of tea, a box of beer for his men, and ordered a few cold dishes, which was like a private dining room.

And he also has his "Eight King Kongs", and the array they put out is really intimidating.

At least in the eyes of Yin Yue and Lin Xiaofen, this place now looks like the hall where the mountain eagle waits to meet the girl in the classic children's play "Lin Hai Xue Yuan".

Especially when two stamp sellers were brought in.

He acted neither humble nor arrogant, which made the scene more immersive and made it seem like what was going on.

Hardman was the first to stand up to greet the guests, first offering his hands and then giving up his seat.

"It came so quickly! We meet again! Please have a seat, it's a great honor!"

The two men opposite him should be around twenty-four or five years old, and they have particularly good bodies.

It's probably their tendons that give them courage.

The two of them just smiled faintly, seeming not to care much about this situation.

The one with a calmer and more sophisticated temperament returned the favor on the spot.

"No, no, time is precious to us. Thanks to the invitation, I don't dare to delay. Since we have already dealt with each other, we might as well say it directly if we have anything to say."

Seeing the two of them happily taking their seats, Hardman smiled, but his face was a bit ferocious.

"Why are you so anxious? You are hiding very deep. It will not be easy to dig you out. Now that you are here, why don't you show it first? Let me also know which mountain you came down from? I don't want to bury you in the wilderness.

Two unknown corpses.”

However, the other party didn't care at all.

"It's a bit domineering like someone in the industry. But this is business, and being ruthless won't solve any problems. You have to change your thinking."

"Hey, you come here to give me a lesson? It's a pity that I'm a straight-minded person, and I don't like to listen to other people's reasoning. I just fucking believe that political power comes from the barrel of a gun!"

At the end of the sentence, Hardman became angry and banged his fist on the table, causing the cups and dishes to rattle.

His "Eight Great Vajras" also sat upright, staring at the two foreign guests on the table with raised eyebrows.

If he really gets aggressive again, he will overturn the table and draw his sword at him.

Only Lin Xiaofen and Yin Yue's faces turned pale and their hearts were pounding. The girl's family had never seen such a formation before, and they were all frightened.

But that's it, the two people on the other side didn't even blink, and their expressions didn't change at all.

The one who had been silent all this time even silently took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth.

The leader felt like he was watching a farce.

"Don't bother, you can't bluff me! If you really want to do something, why don't you arrange to meet here? Besides, you will only suffer the loss if you do it..."

"Hey, don't stare in a hurry. I don't mean to be competitive. The key is that we brothers were brought here by your people during market transactions. The money and goods are here, you do it? What about outsiders?

What you know is that we are settling personal grudges. If you don’t know, I’m afraid you will have to say that you are motivated by wealth.”

"You are all well-known owners in the market, with families and businesses. You can think about it calmly. What kind of crime is it to be charged with deliberate robbery? Under the current social situation, I am afraid that at the very least, you will have to go to the border to celebrate the New Year.

.Is it worth it?”

"Okay, think things through!"

Hardman couldn't help but be surprised at his opponent's clarity of mind.

But there was no softness on his face, and he said with a bit of contempt, "But if you do this, you are not a warrior. And I am also an expert in playing dirty tricks."

"As the saying goes, taking someone's money is like killing one's parents. When walking on the road, be careful. A strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake. When everyone goes out to hang out, they should take care of each other. No matter what, they should be kings and hegemons. Once or twice will do, and it will take a long time.

If it cuts off other people’s financial resources, then that’s it.”

"You two brothers, don't worry today. Whether we can reach an agreement or not, I, Hardman, will definitely ensure that you can walk out together. But you are too bad at doing things. Tomorrow, I'm afraid you have to be careful when walking at night.

Come on, don’t be the victim of an unjust death. Is there anyone who puts sacks, black bricks or sap on you? I can’t guarantee it.”

Don't tell me, the harsh words he said this time were not in vain, and the other party finally nodded.
