I was surprised by the "deaths" of four people in Black Ice.
A Zhao Hai Zhao Bin brother. Zhao Hai Zhao Bin is a killer known as the "ghost axe sharp gun" in the northeast, the two were bribed by Liu Mei to assassinate Yang Qiu, when negotiating with Liu Mei's subordinate Lu An, the two lions opened their mouths to ask for "twenty thousand US dollars" and threatened "then you are our brother's next target" when Lu An deliberately said" when Lu An deliberately said, "Then you are our brother's next target", but when the assassination was specifically carried out, in the face of Yang Qiu, who was armed with a gun, one person actually took an axe and rushed straight, and one person stood blatantly in the hall with a machine gun, and the two were shot and died;
One is Duan Hai. Duan Hai is a police undercover "lark" lurking next to Guo Xiaopeng as a driver, he is deeply trusted by Guo Xiaopeng, is the most successful undercover hidden around Guo Xiaopeng, but was shot and killed in Guo Xiaopeng's last attempt to trade with Mr. G with tons of drugs;
One is Lin Xiaoqiang. Guo Xiaopeng used Liu Mei to tempt Lin Xiaoqiang to infect him with drugs and then send him to prison, Lin Xiaoqiang, who was serving a sentence in prison, still did not change his grandfather's breath and anger, became the "boss" of the prison, and after successfully escaping from prison, he went to Guo Xiaopeng several times to seek revenge, but he was secretly drugged by Liu Mei again, and once again entered Guo Xiaopeng's trap and died at the gunpoint of the police.
A "but" word, which is extremely contrasting before and after, makes me deeply aware: Zhao Hai's death is somewhat unworthy of the name and ridiculous, Duan Hai's sacrifice is somewhat reckless and rash, and Lin Xiaoqiang's death is somewhat self-deprecating and fateful.
In addition to these people, there is another person in the play whose death is perhaps the most "unexpected" and lamentable, he is Guo Xiaopeng.
As the chairman of the star enterprise Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, he can accept the government inspection led by the vice governor with great honor, he can make the most surging speech at the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the founding of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, he can talk and laugh with the mayor on the golf course; as a drug dealer who has been arrested and imprisoned, he can be calm and calm when the court reads the death sentence, and he can refuse to appeal with "driving to the execution ground, whether there is a red light in the middle, whether he breaks anchor, there is no practical significance", He can joke about the lack of ink on the pen when signing the death execution book, "My father said that there are three things that men are most embarrassed about, shaking the watch, pushing the car, and throwing the pen", and he can talk in front of Wang Jingwen on the eve of the death execution...
Before and after, he was still just Guo Xiaopeng. Obviously, as long as he is the chairman of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, he can be prosperous and rich all his life, but why do he have to do the most disgraceful drug production and drug trafficking, and finally bury himself, and then look at "Black Ice" to understand that Guo Xiaopeng embarked on the road of "big drug lord", in fact, it is inseparable from these three reasons.
01 Guo Xiaopeng's childhood experience
Guo Xiaopeng's childhood is extremely tragic, and in the play, there are three details mentioned.
The first time: Guo Xiaopeng and Wang Jingwen met for the first time. At the beginning of Wang Jingwen's entry into Haizhou Pharmaceutical, Guo Xiaopeng showed many differences in Wang Jingwen: frequent telephone care, many invitations to dinner, repeated authorization of company authority, etc., especially Guo Xiaopeng took the initiative to reveal her family history to her and uncover his own scars.
My father was a writer who published his first novel at the age of 18, and unfortunately, he was soon beaten to the right, from Beijing to Haizhou... My mother is a famous Yue opera dan who is famous in Jiangnan, and it is because of her beauty that she has caused a lot of trouble... He was the deputy secretary of the prefectural party committee and the propaganda minister at that time, and he gave my mother a lot of help, but this kind of assistance had many conditions attached, and later this deputy secretary and propaganda minister became my stepfather... Later, my stepfather was reinstated to a high position, but my mother left him categorically, took me far away to marry Hong Kong, and once again fell into the insult of Yang Hua... My stepfather, as the leader of a progressive school born into a rich family, a high-ranking cadre, he was so good at beating people with his own hands, but the kind of discrimination that went deep into the marrow, the kind of mental destruction, was unimaginable, it was a contempt that transcended class hatred.
The second time: Guo Xiaopeng chatted with his mother. After Wang Jingwen entered the Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, when Guo Xiaopeng chatted with his mother, his mother said:
Peng'er, your mother can't stand you in this life, you were only 5 years old when your mother brought you to the Lin family, and once, when Lin Xiaoqiang quarreled with you, he said, don't wear the shoes that my father bought for you, and have been wearing the cloth shoes I made ever since.
The third time: Guo Xiaopeng saw Wang Jingwen for the last time. On the eve of Guo Xiaopeng's execution, he made two requests: one was to see Wang Jingwen; the other was to get a haircut, and in front of Wang Jingwen, he said something like this:
I remember when I was a child, as long as I made any mistakes, my stepfather punished me not by beating me and scolding me, but by punishing me for starvation, and by not giving me food for several days... My mother remarried into the Lin family, and if nothing else, Lin Xiaoqiang's meticulous harassment of her was not something that ordinary people could bear... The political fate of the Lin family's great ups and downs has accelerated my soul towards degeneration....
From these words, it can be clearly felt that Guo Xiaopeng's childhood has received multiple blows: the death of his father, the bullying of his mother because of her beauty, harassment and submission, his own deep spiritual destruction by his stepfather and the bullying of his half-brother Lin Xiaoqiang... All kinds of misery and impermanence of fate made his heart become distorted step by step, and while he pitied his mother who had been miserable all his life, he also blamed the whole society for his suffering, thus allowing him to develop two extreme personalities: extreme filial piety to his mother, and incomparable hatred for the Lin family and society.
Filial piety to his mother, he can put down the shelf in front of his mother, and wash his mother's feet again and again; in order to retaliate against Lin Xiaoqiang, he designed to let Lin Xiaoqiang get infected with drugs, send him to prison, and then make ji let him fall under the gun of the police after Lin Xiaoqiang escaped from prison; in order to retaliate against his stepfather Lin Zilie, he never called Lin Zilie as his father, and even when Lin Zhilie called him to rescue Lin Xiaoliang, who was arrested for prostitution, and when he called to learn from Lin Zilie's mouth about Lin Xiaoqiang's escape from prison, he hung up the phone directly before Lin Zilie finished speaking In order to take revenge on society, he did not hesitate to make and sell drugs, establish his own drug kingdom, and make himself the master.
Psychologist Adler said: Happy childhood heals a lifetime, unhappy childhood needs a lifetime to heal, but I would like to say more: unfortunate childhood, some people from the beginning of unhappiness, has been doomed to incurability.
Childhood, to a large extent, lays the "root" for a person, and the positive and crooked roots are often not affected by external wind and rain, but are deeply hurt by the fatal damage of internal invasions.
02 Guo Xiaopeng's ability
It is said that "genius and madman are only a line apart", some crazy people are geniuses themselves, in fact, Guo Xiaopeng's madness is inseparable from his own ability as a support.
In Guo Xiaopeng, I saw two of the most important abilities.
One is management.
As the chairman and president of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, Guo Xiaopeng has the ability and means to match the position.
Guo Xiaopeng is well aware of the financial and tax law and can talk with the group's finance minister about tax avoidance; Guo Xiaopeng has great vision and can talk with Wang Jingwen about real estate, finance, pharmaceutical and other industries; Guo Xiaopeng understands the management method of the group, taking all kinds of secrets within the group as the point of the computer, and each department forms the most complex "internal network", and the departments do not interfere with each other, do not affect each other and become a complete whole...
Guo Xiaopeng used liu meimei to seduce Lin Xiaoqiang to take away the Haizhou mansion under the name of the Lin family by taking drugs, laying the foundation for the Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group; he bribed deputy prison director Jia Sidong with money to save Liu Mei, who might have a devastating blow to him and the group; he used both enwei and psychology to lure Chen Ran and Fei Zong with interests, and on the other hand, he threatened the two with their lives and made them loyal; he made Liu Mei die for him with affection, and let Wang Jingwen use it for himself with all kinds of considerate care...
Knowledge is Guo Xiaopeng's innermost, the means is Guo Xiaopeng's external, internal and external interaction, so that Guo Xiaopeng in his unique way to make Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group into a leading enterprise in Haizhou, star enterprises, and once Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group can exist in the most stable and brilliant way, it will put on a seemingly legal and unobtrusive coat for Guo Xiaopeng's drug production and trafficking core, and Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group has become Guo Xiaopeng's most convenient and advantageous drug base.
One is technology.
Guo Xiaopeng and Mr. G are both drug dealers, but there is the most fundamental difference between the two: Mr. G only sells drugs, but Guo Xiaopeng also makes drugs, and in tons, and this is inseparable from Guo Xiaopeng's profession.
Xiaopeng Guo is a high-achieving student majoring in chemical engineering and a doctor of chemistry from Princeton University in the United States.
His own profession has given him the conditions to make drugs, and his experience of studying abroad has given him unusual contacts and networks, so he can hide in the most secret basement of Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group to develop the purest and most effective drugs, and at the same time, he can wash and transfer his criminal gains in a sinful way through his classmates' connections.
A perfect line of crime in drug production, drug trafficking, property cleaning, property transfer, is bigger and more evil than Mr. G's simple drug trafficking.
Guo Xiaopeng, rich management knowledge, let him support the Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group, providing the most unexpected and reasonable base camp for his crime; professional technical ability, so that he can use pharmaceuticals as a cloak, secretly develop new drugs, both external convenience and internal technology, which cast Guo Xiaopeng's criminal "drug kingdom" and paved the way for Guo Xiaopeng's evil.
03 Guo Xiaopeng's inner "lack" and "desire"
After experiencing a tragic childhood, Guo Xiaopeng's heart was not redeemed, but while being wrapped in the darkness of the lack of sunlight, he secretly bred various desires from within.
Guo Xiaopeng's life has never been warm.
Putting aside Guo Xiaopeng's tragic childhood, his growth path since then, no one has ever been able to go into his heart to soften him, and his inner "love" is actually very hard and pale.
Liu Mei is his lover, but Liu Mei is a tool for him to vent lust and accumulate wealth; Lin Xiaoliang is his own brother, but his brother is more of a helper and interest gang for him; Wang Jingwen is the person he loves, but he can only be a criminal for Wang Jingwen... The people around him are more of a web of interests formed by money and power, a confrontation between good and evil, and what flows through them is darkness, coldness and ruthlessness.
And a person's heart, once it has not been warmed, how can he know how to warm others, all he can do is to sink in the endless darkness and darkness.
All his life, Guo Xiaopeng has been indulging his desires.
In Guo Xiaopeng's body, there are three most obvious desires.
One is the desire for money. As Guo Xiaopeng said, his tragic fate is due to the lack of money, so, starting from his 10-dollar invasion of San Francisco, and then taking Liu Mei's posture to seize the Haizhou Mansion from Lin Xiaoqiang's hands as an opportunity, while producing drugs, he secretly developed and sold drugs, and drugs are money, drugs are even more profitable, which are all for "money".
One is the desire for rights. Mr. G said that he has been selling drugs after having money because of habits, and after Guo Xiaopeng has obtained huge profits and criminal gains and no longer worries about money, he has a deeper desire for "rights", as he himself said, "Power is by no means a position that can make you honor and humiliate and promote, nor is it a kind of behavioral pleasure that can make you realize the value of life, the essence of power is to see how much you control and influence the spiritual life of others and even the whole society", his desire gradually began to escalate. From the level of satisfying the individual, it gradually developed to a higher level of control society.
One is the desire for revenge. "Money" and "power" are Guo Xiaopeng's tools to achieve his personal ultimate revenge purposes, and while his unfortunate childhood caused his heart to twist, it also bred his extreme desire for revenge, as Guo Xiaopeng himself said, "From that day on, I laid the foundation for what my own life goals are, I will unscrupulously chase money and power, and then use them to retaliate against this hateful human society", taking personal tragedy as the source, and then venting all my resentment to individuals and even the whole society.
For Guo Xiaopeng, these three desires are gradual: money is the primary desire, power is the deeper desire, revenge is the ultimate desire, and the three desires eventually become his path of destruction.
The funny thing is that Guo Xiaopeng himself is in the pharmaceutical industry, but he can't save himself; Guo Xiaopeng develops drugs by himself, but he is deeper than everyone else.
The lack of inner emotions makes Guo Xiaopeng unable to use "love" to warm others and warm the world, and the desire that breeds in his heart will push him step by step to the endless abyss, and he cannot use love to cross people, nor can he use love to cross himself.
Write at the end:
Haizhou Pharmaceutical Group Pharmaceuticals, especially drugs such as detoxification spirits, are for the benefit of people; when the outer coat of the pharmaceutical company is lifted, there is a terrible evil hidden inside, which is a disaster for the human world, and Guo Xiaopeng is also like this, with a good appearance, conversation, knowledge, education, etc., but he can open his disguise, but find that he is full of twisted humanity and desire.
Guo Xiaopeng's evil all the way is inseparable from his tragic childhood experience, his own extreme management and chemical talent, and the result of his extreme lack of love and extremely inflated desire in his heart, a result that may have been doomed from the beginning.
Guo Xiaopeng once said to his mother:
Mom, money and women are not important to me, and what your son can't get through is his own level.
Everyone in the world has to pass many hurdles, but in the end, they must return to their own hearts.
This level of oneself is the most difficult one.
Guo Xiaopeng, too.
