He has been entrenched in Henan for many years and is known as the local "gang godfather"; he relies on violent means to monopolize the local textile, shipping and other industries, calling himself the "Textile King"; in order to occupy the territory, he leads two hundred brothers to fight across provinces , forcibly interpreting as a powerful dragon and as a counter-pressure to local snakes. So, who is this arrogant gangster who dominates Henan? What has he done? In the end, what is the outcome? Like it and let's continue reading.
In 1964, a little boy was born into a poor family in Xuchang, Henan. His parents gave him a very simple name - Song Liugen, hoping that he could be an honest and good person like his ancestors for generations. When Song Liugen was a child, he did live up to his parents' expectations. He learned knowledge at school during the day and went home to help his parents with farm work at night. It can be said that at this time, he was a standard child from other people's families. Seeing Song Liugen's progress, his parents were very pleased, and they tried their best to provide for their son's education. With the full support of his parents, Song Liugen successfully completed junior high school and was admitted to high school. In that era, those who could go to high school were basically considered to be among the best. Therefore, after graduation, Song Liugen did not have to worry about work at all. He was successfully assigned to the National Cotton Factory and became an employee with an iron rice bowl.
Song Liugen has excellent academic qualifications and a decent job. If the normal plot is followed, he will have a happy and prosperous family and successfully live a solid and rich life. However, when I use but, everyone should be able to guess that Song Liugen was not as honest as everyone thought, and he chose another path.
After working in the National Cotton Factory for several years, Song Liugen was no longer satisfied with the days of earning a fixed salary. He wanted to follow the trend of the time and go into business. After making up his mind, he quit his job and officially started his entrepreneurial journey. But, how can it be so easy to start a business? After a few business deals, Song Liugen lost all his savings. At the same time, many of his fellow businessmen became rich. The failure of the business and the stimulation of other people's entrepreneurial success made Song Liugen's heart become distorted. At this time, he no longer thought about how to regroup, but began to hang out with a group of fair-weather friends all day long, forming a team to do petty thefts in the downtown area to get some pocket money. Later, one of these fair-weather friends was caught stealing something and hid in Song Liugen's house in desperation. In the end, this friend was discovered, and Song Liugen was thrown in to learn needlework for several years because of his cover-up.
While learning needlework, Song Liugen met a large number of "roommates" who had similar personalities to him, and they agreed to grow together as a group after they left. After Song Liugen came out, he once again lived a life of worrying about his livelihood. In order to get money, Song Liugen started his own business path of malicious competition.
Since Song Liugen had many years of working experience in the textile industry, after he came out, he chose to start a textile business. There was a local fabric market where business was very prosperous, so Song Liugen opened his shop there. After opening, Song Liugen gathered a group of so-called brothers and went to other nearby stores to cause trouble, making it impossible for these competitors to do business normally. Under Song Liugen's vicious competition, his linen yarn business quickly improved. This gave Song Liugen a taste of the sweetness and fueled his ambition. He felt that since these shops did not dare to resist him, why didn't he get something bigger? So, after that, those younger brothers who went to cause trouble had another task, which was to ask for protection money from the merchants.
Relying on this despicable method, Song Liugen quickly controlled the business in the fabric market. Including protection fees, he earned a total profit of more than 20,000 yuan. More than 20,000 yuan was not a small amount of money in the early 1990s. After making such a large sum of money, Song Liugen began to expand the scale of his business while recruiting younger brothers.
Under his brutal development, many people like him who had nothing to do after coming out came to seek refuge. Song Liugen's minions quickly grew to dozens.More people under his command meant more money. To solve this problem, Song Liugen set his sights on the local cloth shipping business.
The cloth shipping business was a very profitable business at the time, but it was precisely because this method made so much money that the local shipping market was controlled early on. The person who controls the market is named Feng Shuangting, a well-known local gangster. His sphere of influence is extremely wide and he has many subordinates. He is one of the top people in the local underground world. Song Liugen's dozens of younger brothers were fine if they were dragged out to scare ordinary people, but if they were to be compared with Feng Shuangting, they were simply not good enough. Therefore, Song Liugen's attempt to eat the piece of fat meat in Feng Shuangting's hand was tantamount to snatching food from a tiger's mouth.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food. Seeing such a huge benefit dazzling before your eyes, how could Song Liugen care about the strength gap between the two parties? He couldn't wait to replace Feng Shuangting and dominate the shipping market. To this end, he spent a lot of money to acquire weapons, and sent his subordinates many times to track down Feng Shuangting's whereabouts. After getting all the information, Song Liugen assigned a task to his brother-in-law. He asked his brother-in-law to find a few brave people to ambush Feng Shuangting on his only way to find an opportunity to solve this serious problem.
As expected, his brother-in-law did not disappoint Song Liugen. He quickly found a few outsiders and completed the matter assigned by Song Liugen.
The fall of Feng Shuangting made Song Liugen rich. He led his men to annex the market and soon expanded the scale of the business countless times. And controlling the consignment market also controlled the import and export channels of countless merchants. Naturally, Song Liugen would not miss this opportunity, and he began to collect protection fees arbitrarily. Under his unscrupulous expansion, in 1995 alone, he collected more than 30 million in protection fees. In addition to these protection fees, the shipping department also brought him huge amounts of money.
Song Liugen, who has made a lot of money, knows in his heart that he can have everything he has today, and a large part of the credit must be attributed to his shameful deeds. At that time, the business was small, and a few dozen people were enough. But now the business is big, and if we don't recruit more juniors, how can we sleep well? So Song Liugen took part of the profits earned to expand his power. Under the temptation of money, countless people with evil intentions gathered together and became Song Liugen's most effective minions.
If there are too many people, they need to be managed. To this end, Song Liugen formulated a series of rules for his younger brothers. Among these rules, the most important one is confidentiality. Song Liugen knew that if he revealed any of the things he had done, he would be doomed. Therefore, he stipulated that his subordinates must strictly keep secrets. Even if they were caught, they could not reveal anything or betray other people. . In addition, no one is allowed to touch flour. Anyone caught smoking this stuff will be removed from the team immediately. In his opinion, anyone who can come across this thing will have no loyalty at all, and this kind of person is undesirable.
Under Song Liugen's strict family laws and gang rules, the gang quickly developed into a major cancer in the local area. They all obeyed Song Liugen and provided huge help to Song Liugen's business development.
Song Liugen's power, both openly and secretly, has reached a new peak, which also satisfies his vanity. He gave himself a title, "Textile King."
However, at this time, Song Liugen's business was still mainly local. Other cities in the province have not been poisoned by him yet. But how could a person like Song Liugen be satisfied with just one city? His ambitions were very great. What he wanted to capture was the textile business in the entire province. After
's local business stabilized, he began to penetrate into surrounding areas. In 1996, Song Liugen instructed his men to sabotage a shipping department in Xinxiang. In May of the same year, a shipping department of Luoyang was also attacked by him. What happened in these two places is just the tip of the iceberg for Song Liugen's gang. In order to occupy business, they have repeatedly used violent means to forcibly occupy other people's businesses.
Song Liugen monopolized the market wantonly and collected large amounts of protection fees, which made many merchants bullied by him dare to be angry but dare not speak out.People did not dare to resist him openly, so they had to deal with the supply of goods secretly.
At that time, Song Liugen's focus was entirely on expanding business to other cities, so he could not help but relax a little about the supervision of the old territory. And this gives hope to some merchants who can't stand the high shipping fees.
At that time, someone ordered a batch of cloth from Zhejiang at a low price and secretly transported it to the local area for sale. However, the merchants underestimated Song Liugen's sensitivity to this kind of thing. Although the merchants were very covert, Song Liugen still discovered all this. He immediately sent his younger brother and found the car during transportation. According to Song Liugen's instructions, the brothers brutally killed the three drivers in the car and sold the cloth goods on the spot. After that, Song Liugen instructed his younger brothers to repeatedly harass the merchants who placed orders, causing the merchants to be unable to operate normally and eventually had to close their doors.
Despite Song Liugen's cruel methods, merchants who were squeezed by high transportation fees and protection fees decided to take risks and choose cheaper goods from other places. After solving several such problems, Song Liugen found that he still could not completely control the sources of all goods. This is not a good sign for Song Liugen. In order to completely solve the problem, Song Liugen decided to start from the source of the goods.
At that time, merchants mainly purchased goods from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, followed by Changshu, Jiangsu and Guangzhou, Guangdong. Among these places, Shaoxing, Zhejiang has the largest supply volume. Song Liugen decided to attack the biggest one first, and use Shaoxing Textile City to establish his authority.
After that, Song Liugen called more than 200 young men, each of whom was issued with weapons. Everyone rode in the bus and marched toward Shaoxing in a mighty manner. Shaoxing Textile City Naturally, there are gangs watching the scene. When they see someone coming to cause trouble, they will come out in full force. But despite this, Song Liugen's side still won the final victory. This good show of a strong dragon overpowering a local snake further expanded Song Liugen's power. After the victory of the
firefight, Song Liugen non-stop waved a big stick at other local black forces. Under his indiscriminate attacks, these local forces were quickly defeated and gave up their business. After
completely solved the supply problem, Song Liugen left dozens of his younger brothers here to watch the show, and then returned to his old nest to continue his domineering life.
At this time, Song Liugen had completely mastered the local and Shaoxing cotton spinning industry. His success in these matters made him set his sights on a new industry again, which was railway transportation.
At that time, Song Liugen’s shipping business was mainly truck transportation. If he could dominate railway transportation, his wealth would definitely grow further. Therefore, after learning that the railway was planning to implement individual contracting operations, Song Liugen immediately established a start-up company and applied to participate in contracting operations. After obtaining the right to operate, Song Liugen transferred his experience in the cotton spinning industry to railway transportation. He once again recruited a large number of younger brothers by recruiting employees, and assigned them tasks to annex dissidents. Under the tricks of the younger brothers, countless competitors had to give up their business and withdraw from the industry. Relying on this method, Song Liugen's railway transportation business matured rapidly. Just one year later, the company began to make profits, and the profit amount reached more than 50 million. You know, that was the 1990s.
After completely monopolizing this industry, Song Liugen once again showed his fangs to the merchants. He arbitrarily raised freight prices, disrupted market order, and made merchants miserable. At that time, based on the average market price, each kilogram of goods only required a consignment fee of 0.3 yuan, but the greedy Song Liugen raised the fee to 0.6 yuan. When unloading, a truckload of goods originally only cost 600 yuan, but Song Liugen raised the price to 2,000 yuan. Relying on this method of making money, Song Liugen quickly made huge profits from railway transportation and successfully controlled more than 30 freight points.
Since Song Liugen's business is basically inseparable from shady means, as his business expands, the power of his gang is also growing rapidly.At his peak, Song Liugen's reputation in the local area was no less than that of Northeastern Qiao Si. Relying on the big tree Song Liugen, the gang members also bullied men and women and did all kinds of evil. This caused countless ordinary people who were not doing business to have deep resentment towards Song Liugen's gang.
Since ancient times, if there is good means, there will be more help, but if there is no means, there will be little help. Song Liugen's gang bullies and dominates the market, and naturally it will not end well. In the end, this gangster godfather who monopolized the two major industries of textile and consignment ushered in justice. After Song Liugen entered, his subordinates fled after hearing the news, truly displaying the tree-falling hozen scattering to its fullest. Eight years later, with the discovery of the last gang member, the dark cloud that had hung over the people of Henan for more than ten years finally dissipated.
It is worth mentioning that even though Song Liugen’s gang has been wiped out, many merchants and people who have been bullied still dare not speak out about their experiences of being bullied. They worry about what they will do if they speak out and get retaliated against again. Therefore, in the face of this demon, countless ordinary people remained silent. Only their frightened eyes and expressions revealed how miserably they had been oppressed. This shows how domineering Song Liugen was back then.
