Chapter 12 Hwaseong Station(2/2)
The second meaning is: asking for help.
The big monster drank the bowl of tea to express his approval and agreed to his request.
Our tears should have been shed since 1983.
Chaoshan people were the first to come to the area around the train station. They ran small businesses, and after gathering some capital, they began to speculate on tickets. Train tickets and bus tickets became profit resources for scalpers to dominate the market. Faced with market competition, fellow villagers gathered in
At the same time, the "Chaoshan Gang" emerged. This is a loose group characterized by living area and dialect. In addition to ticket scalping, it is also engaged in soliciting passengers. Two years later, more and more private transportation vehicles were used, and a group based in Chinese
A group of solicitors, mainly locals, appeared in the city. The "Huacheng Gang" and the "Chaoshan Gang" who originally did not interfere with each other began to have friction. After several large-scale armed fights broke out, the "Northeast Gang" and the "Hunan Gang" quietly
The rise of the "Chaoshan Gang" lost its hegemony and turned to selling fake invoices to passengers. They found a group of smelly old ladies to sell maps and train timetables at the exit of the station. The old ladies pretended to be handing out leaflets. If someone picked them up,
, then a large group of people immediately gathered around, and in desperation, they had to buy it at a high price before walking away safely.
In the first half of 1990, no one with a Northeastern accent dared to mess with people at the train station. In the second half of the year, people from Hunan became the dominant force. People from Huacheng also began to hire unemployed people from other provinces to develop and strengthen their own strength. Huacheng Railway Station formed
This creates a three-legged situation.
In 1991, the "migrant worker wave" around the Spring Festival exceeded people's expectations. The peak of passenger flow quickly appeared, a large number of migrant workers were stranded at Huacheng Railway Station, and thousands of people wandered on the streets. The security situation of Huacheng Railway Station and its surrounding areas quickly deteriorated.
Deterioration. There are more and more black trucks operating illegally. Hundreds of touts coax people into the buses and then drop them off halfway.
The "Toe Stamping Gang" and the "Throwing Money Gang" arose at that time.
"Hey, kid, you stepped on my foot." A person deliberately kicks your trolley case and then says this to you. At this moment, your wit and adaptability will be tested.
You have three choices: 1. Keep moving forward as if nothing has happened; 2. Yell and get out; 3. Apologize humbly. Any of these options may lead to a large group of ruffians surrounding you, who will then blackmail and extort you.
The "Lost Money Gang" is a low-grade scam that takes advantage of people's greed for money and is easy to spot. It is worth mentioning that the scammers near Hwaseong Railway Station will commit robberies when they become angry. In other words, this is a group of scammers.
Robbers disguised as liars.
With the crackdown by the police, many criminal gangs had to find new ways. The "Hunan Gang" changed their crime methods while evading police crackdowns, using pregnant women, children, patients and the elderly to sell counterfeit banknotes and tickets. In the case of Sichuan native Zhang Kai
The criminal gang headed by the leader began to abduct and force women into prostitution. They searched for young women who came from other places to work at Huacheng Railway Station, and on the pretext of introducing jobs, they tricked them into getting on the train and trafficked them. A man from Lufeng County, Guangdong lived by masturbating
An old bachelor spent 8,000 yuan to buy a daughter-in-law. Many years later, when the local police rescued the woman from a closed stone house, they found that she had become mentally disturbed.
In 1991, "hair salons" in the mainland were still called "barber shops", while in Huacheng there were "shampoo rooms" where hair was not washed, and there were many small hotels. The hotel facilities were very simple, and most rooms only had one hair salon.
There is a bed supported by two stools. The bed is not for sleeping, but for prostitution.
In 1992, Zhou Wei, a native of Northeast China, gathered 46 fellow villagers and began to get involved in the crime of abducting and trafficking women. Not only that, they also teamed up with local bad guys in Huacheng to gang up at Huacheng Station and pretend to be relatives, friends or drivers of friends.
While waiting to be picked up at the station, they defrauded and robbed passengers.
Since then, various new criminal phenomena have continued to breed.
In 1993, Wang Jingji specially identified some young people living on the streets, responsible for their food and accommodation, and trained these children in criminal skills. A group of professional thieves appeared.
Professor Fu Weiming of Sun Yat-sen University in Guangdong had his bag stolen as soon as he got off the train. The police had to use special means to retrieve it after multiple investigations failed. There was such a conversation in a rental house:
"I'm here to find you. My current identity is either a policeman or your friend."
"Let's be honest, what did you lose?"
"A bag."
"How much is in the bag?"
"Not a penny."
"That……"
"It's just a few pieces of torn paper, it's an academic paper."
"Okay, wait for me for twenty minutes."
"Well, let me buy you a drink."
In 1995, there was a group of people who liked to wear black clothes and had been robbing passengers' belongings at train stations for a long time. They were called the "Black Party". They mostly operated at night. If it was during the day, they would rob while masked.
In 1997, the "Beggars Gang" headed by Sanwen Qian quietly emerged.
In 1998, drugged robberies occurred frequently. Gangs called this method "pig killing", most of which were the "Henan Gang". Then it evolved into speeding robberies, and became notorious as the "Hand-cutting Gang".
In 1999, the "Acupuncture Party" also appeared, holding syringes allegedly containing HIV and threatening tourists and demanding money.
Faced with the severe public security situation, since 1983, governments at all levels have organized various forces to carry out "crack down" operations every year, and a large number of criminal gangs have been destroyed. However, the effect of "crack down" cannot last long. After rectification, the old behavior returns.
Criminal gangs reshuffled their cards and divided their spheres of influence through violence. For example, after the "Customer Gang" was eliminated, it split into five major gangs: the "Zheng Laowu Gang", a Hunanese, responsible for the Zhanxi Road area; and the "Shantou Gang", responsible for running horses
Gang area; "Chaozhou Gang", responsible for the Shayong South area; "Liu Laosi Gang", Sichuanese, responsible for the Caonuan Park area; "Lao Yang Gang", also on Zhanxi Road. Among the five gangs at that time, "
"Zheng Laowu" and "Liu Laosi" are slightly older and often rub against each other, but neither can eat either of them.
In the process of competing for territory among various gangs, the "Northeast Gang" gradually took control of the passenger soliciting market at Huacheng Railway Station. Zou Guanglong from Heilongjiang Province became the boss of the pheasant cart market. He bribed and corrupted state agency staff, and soon
Controlling the solicitation market in the east square of the station, it also controlled the source of customers for the "Pheasant Car".
In 2000, the Huacheng "Backpack Party" headed by Zou Guanglong appeared.
The "backpack party" initially only solicited customers for pheasant buses and hotels. Later, they packed their bags with fake invoices, fake tickets, hotel introductions and fake documents, and wandered around Huacheng Railway Station, Provincial Bus Station, City Bus Station and Liuhua all day long.
Between stations, they mainly target people coming from other places to Guangzhou, stealing jewelry, mobile phones, backpacks, selling fake invoices, and exchanging counterfeit banknotes. As the team grows, the "Backpacker Party" even dares to confront law enforcement officers. At Huacheng Railway Station,
There have been many gang fights. Hundreds of "backpack gang" members clashed with security guards several times, and the police fired shots to stop them.
As Zou Guanglong's reputation grew, he became the gang boss of Huacheng Railway Station. Many gangs wanted to recruit him as a backer. He began to recruit one or two hundred Ma Chai as his thugs, collecting protection fees from each gang, and even a fruit stall and a phone booth.
Don't let it go.
It was not until a year later that the leaders of the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee visited Huacheng Railway Station three times incognito, demanding "heavy laws and control of chaos." Huacheng Railway Station stationed a large number of armed police with live ammunition and launched the largest "crack down" operation. Zou Guanglong committed a crime of a gangster nature.
The organization was destroyed in this "severe crackdown" and Zou Guanglong was sentenced to death with a suspended death sentence.
On October 19, 2000, two of Zou Guanglong's gang led dozens of thugs to collect protection fees from shops around the train station. Many shops often tolerated the evil forces, and some shop owners even took the initiative to seek protection. On Dengfeng Street there was
A wealthy restaurant selling beggar's chicken refused to pay the protection fee. Ma Zai ordered his men to smash the tables, chairs, benches, doors and windows to pieces and then left. Before leaving, he threatened to smash it again if the money was not paid at night.
That night, four people lit candles in the messy store to discuss countermeasures. They were San Wenqian, Big Monster, Master Han, and Gao Fei.
San Wenqian said: "Just bear with this."
The boss said: "What's the use of making so much money and being bullied by others."
Master Han said: "I can't swallow this breath."
Sanwen Qian said: "We can't fight because there are few people."
Master Han said, "Go to the Northeast, call the Paozi gang, and get their guns. I don't believe you can control them."
San Wenqian said: "It's too far away."
The big monster said: "Yes, we just have few people."
Gao Fei said: "We have a lot of people."
Master Han said: "Where are the people?"
Gao Fei said: "Train station."
The house was soon filled with all kinds of strangers, with incorrigible scoundrels from all over the country, all who were about to use bricks, daggers and sticks from the railway station square.
Gao Fei said to them, "In a moment, we are going to fight with someone. Each person will be given 100 yuan. If you don't want to, get out."
"150," someone in the crowd shouted, "100 is too little."
“Should I pay you now or after the payment is made?”
"Who?" asked another person.
"Zou Guanglong's people." The big monster answered.
"No." The mob in the room fled one after another when they heard Zou Guanglong's name, leaving only a man wearing sunglasses standing in the corner.
"Why don't you leave? Aren't you afraid of Zou Guanglong?" Master Han asked.
"There must have been 50 people just now," said the man wearing sunglasses.
Master Han said: "Absolutely."
"Give me 5,000 yuan," the man wearing sunglasses said, "I'll do it."
"Are you alone?" the big monster asked, "Are you good at fighting?"
"Hit me." The man wearing sunglasses pointed at his face.
The big monster's right fist was still very powerful. He hit the man's jaw with all his strength. Then, his hand hurt as if it was broken, but the man stood there with a smile on his face without changing his expression.
"Being beaten," Gao Fei said, "doesn't mean you can be beaten."
"Okay then, let's watch." The man wearing sunglasses first took a step forward, then flew forward with a beautiful side kick. With a bang, he kicked a hole in the wall.
"God, what's your name?" San Wenqian asked.
