Hong Kong Comprehensive: Who said that those who practice martial arts have no money?

Chapter 123 Difference!rule!Take it!

"I originally thought that these [-] bullets would be enough for you to practice for three or four days, but I didn't expect that even after two days, there wouldn't be much bullets left."

Li Jianjun glanced at the only two boxes of ammunition left in his bag.

A box of ammunition contains fifty rounds.

Yesterday afternoon and this morning, Ang Lee had used more than 500 rounds of ammunition.

However, the effect is obvious. Li An has made rapid progress. In less than two days, he can be called a veteran in terms of target shooting.

This made Li Jianjun feel a little emotional.

People with good gun sense have an innate talent for shooting that others cannot envy.

Ang Lee held the gun with both hands and made a standard shooting action.

"boom!"

Smoke spread from the black muzzle of the gun. Nearly 20 meters away from him, the last soda bottle tied to a branch and swaying in the wind shattered with the sound.

He pointed his gun downward.

"Uncle Jun, how many bullets are left?"

"One hundred rounds should be enough for you to practice for two hours." Li Jianjun replied casually.

"Then let's stop practicing now. After finishing the things on the dock, I still have other things to do, so I just need to keep the bullets as a backup."

Li An pondered.

From shooting skills to proficiency, he is not so much practicing guns, but just to familiarize himself with the feel.

More often than not, in order to prevent Li Jianjun from being too shocked, he had to control his accuracy when practicing with his gun.

There aren't many bullets, so take a break and don't rush.

Nowadays, the proficient level of marksmanship is barely sufficient for the time being.

Just wait for Chaozhou Ming's next batch of goods to arrive in Hong Kong, buy some bullets, and shoot from time to time to keep up.

Li Jianjun nodded: "That's okay. You are a businessman, not a soldier. You don't need to practice so diligently."

He added: "But, shooting and shooting are two completely different concepts. When the gun goes off and blood splashes in front of your eyes, it has a huge psychological impact."

"I see."

Li An turned off the safety, removed the magazine, filled the bullets with bullets, and finally loaded the magazine before putting the pistol into the bag.

After experiencing so many fierce battles, his psychological quality is definitely considered to be excellent.In the past, fists and swords were used, but now they are replaced by guns, and the methods are different.

They are all about killing, and there is no difference between fists and guns in Ang Lee's eyes.

The two men cleaned up the bullet casings that fell during gun practice.He took another step and checked carefully. When he saw that nothing was missing, he turned around and left.

After walking for about ten minutes, we walked through the forest and came to the road.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, most of them were in a hurry. Some people would occasionally unconsciously glance at Li An, who was carrying his luggage bag.

Arriving at the dock, Li An handed the bag in his hand to Li Jianjun, and then went to prepare to inspect the filing situation.

There were three newspaper stalls on Linshi Street. After confirming the stalls, he gave all the management to A Xin.

In addition to being a little busy these days, I also have the thought of cultivating A Xin.

Even though today is the opening day of the three newspaper stalls, Li An also left it to Ah Xin to take charge and had no intention of checking it out.

Doing business also requires an open mind. Just like in my previous life, I ran a mom-and-pop shop, and I just wanted to be rich and happy, so it didn't matter. I just treated it like going to work. I was both a worker and a boss.

Although it is tiring, it is better than not having to be controlled by others. Even if I make less money, I feel comfortable. If it is too busy, I can just hire another clerk.

But if the business wants to grow, then at least the pattern must be opened up.

The boss has to do everything by himself, and he has to grasp every little thing. If he still operates like a mom-and-pop shop, the business is destined to not be big.

Hard work can only make ends meet, but knowing how to employ people will make you rich.

If it weren't for the fact that there are not many applications, not large scale, and there is no need for high-end management talents for the time being, Li An would have already thought of ways to recruit a few management talents.

After inspecting the three newspaper stalls on the pier, Li An took a newspaper and took a quick look at it. Apart from being a gimmick, it was still a gimmick.
I didn't see any interesting news at all.

After putting down the newspaper, Li An went straight to the dock without lingering too much.

"Brother An."

"Brother An."

The two Xiwei brothers stood up quickly.

"Sit all."

Li An pulled up a bench and sat down, and responded casually.

Another look around the dock.

"Where's Wu Shihao?"

"There happened to be a shipowner manager who needed a few crew members. Brother Hao brought people over." Dawei hurriedly took over the words with half a cigarette between his teeth.

"Oh."

Li An nodded: "Dawei, it's almost dinner time, you go buy something to eat first."

"it is good."

Dawei responded, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and turned around to leave.

"By the way, Kou Hongsheng lost nearly two hundred coolies today. Did he come here to cause trouble?"

Li An glanced at the busy coolies and asked casually.

Not far away, Li Jianjun, who had returned to the dock earlier, was taking inventory of the goods with a ledger.In front of him, Amin, who acted as the chipmaker, was talking to the coolie, and from time to time he handed out a chip, and everything seemed in order.

Xiwei laughed out loud:

"Kou Hongsheng didn't react at all, but his Ma Zai, nicknamed Chicken Feet Black, came over to our side and took a look around.

When he saw that all the coolies who used to work under him came to our side, they were very angry and looked very dissatisfied. They even cursed before leaving. "

"Ignore him!" Li An smiled and then said:
"Of course, if they don't give in and come here to cause trouble, it would be just right. Just sweep them out of the dock and Cheng Jian will have nothing to say.

After all, Cheng Jian is just a plainclothes guy. Now that Liu Fu has retired and the Dongguan Gang is showing weakness, I just don't want to cause trouble. It's not that I'm afraid of him being a plainclothes guy. "

Xiwei nodded: "I understand, Brother An! Where is Kou Hongsheng?"

"Just wait! There are less than 100 coolies under Kou Hongsheng now. With such a small number of people, they can't handle the cargo of a freighter. After a whole morning of delay, the shipowner manager must be anxious and angry."

Ang Lee is confident.

"Kou Hongsheng, what's the matter with you? The freighter is leaving the port tonight, but look at it, not even half of the goods on the ship have been unloaded in the morning! The goods that the factory owners need to transport on board are all piled up on the dock, like If you keep doing this, my ship won’t be able to leave port today!”

The speaker was a middle-aged man with Mediterranean hair and black-rimmed glasses.He looked unkind, pointed at the goods piled on the dock, and spat at Kou Hongsheng!
"I'm sorry, Manager Zhang. Something happened today and there are not enough manpower. Please be more considerate."

Kou Hongsheng calmly took a small step back to avoid the spittle flying over him, with a smile on his face.

As he spoke, he took out a few hundred Hong Kong dollars and stuffed them into the other party's jacket pocket.

"You know who I am, Manager Zhang. Please help me. This will definitely not happen again next time."

The middle-aged man known as Manager Zhang took out the money and slapped it back into Kou Hongsheng's hand.Without giving him any face, he said directly:

"It's not me who helps, it's you who help. I also need to eat. If the voyage is delayed, our company's losses will be great. How do you want me to explain to my boss? You want time, right? Okay! I can give you more You have a few hours. If you don’t have enough time, then I’ll give you an extension until the early morning. That’ll be fun. Then tell me, can you handle the cargo of these two ships before the early morning?”

Although Kou Hongsheng wanted to say that he could, it was obvious that the hundreds of coolies under his command would not be able to work until dawn, let alone until dawn.

And those coolies couldn’t bear it either.

He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Manager Zhang.

"Okay, don't talk about it. Everyone is just hanging out at the dock to make a living. I know the result without you having to talk about it. How can this be possible for just a few people?

For those of you who are foremen, to put it bluntly, you need someone to work under you, but look at you now, you don’t even have two coolies under you. Even if I grant you time, you still can’t handle it!What's more, there are not only these two freighters, but there are also freighters tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I just want to help you. Do you think I can afford it? "

He cupped his hands and left without waiting for Kou Hongsheng to speak again.

"Hey! Manager Zhang"

On the side, Jijiahei opened his mouth to call out to Manager Zhang, but Kou Hongsheng stretched out his hand to stop him.

Jijihei watched the other party go towards Li An and whispered:

"I'm sorry, Brother Sheng, I didn't expect Li An and the others to play this trick with us."

In the past two days, he also followed his boss's instructions to be vigilant and pay attention to Li An's movements.

When he thought about it, when everyone was fighting for territory, wasn't it just a matter of clearing out the horses and horses, deciding the winner and losing, and then talking about the numbers, the loser would give up the territory, and then do something dirty. In the end, it was just these processes.

But he didn't expect that the other party would actually play dirty tricks with them, draining the salary from the bottom of the cauldron, and directly preventing them from starting work.

To put it bluntly, the shipowner manager is responsible for the ship agency business of the shipping company. The main job is to ensure the accurate transportation and smooth delivery of ship cargo.

As a shipowner manager who has been dealing with foremen and factory owners on the dock for a long time, how could Zhang Yan not be discerning.

What's more, he has seen the overt and covert fighting at the dock these days. Li An has occupied eight of the ten berths at No. [-] Cargo Terminal. How could Li An let go of the remaining two berths?

Now that Kou Hongsheng himself made a mistake, he knew without even thinking that it was Li An who did it.

The shipping company is a serious business, and the boss is a reputable person. It is the consensus of all shipowners and managers not to get involved in club fights at the dock and not to tarnish the company's reputation.

In a word, I can do whatever work is given to me, as long as I don’t miss the company’s business!

With the few pitiful coolies at Kou Hongsheng's disposal, it was clear that it was impossible for the freighters managed by Zhang Yan to deliver goods normally for several days in a row.

Naturally, he doesn't have to delay business because of past cooperation.

"Hello, am I looking for Li An?"

"That's me, what's the matter?"

Li An glanced at the elegantly dressed middle-aged man in front of him and asked.

"I am Zhang Yan, the shipowner manager of Yifeng Shipping Company. I have something to talk to you about."

Zhang Yan said with a smile.

He looked at Li An in surprise, a little surprised at how young he was.

"Manager Zhang, hello."

Li An knew it well and stretched out his hand.

The two simply shook hands.

Time was running out, so Zhang Yan had no intention of making small talk and said straight to the point:
"NO.60, I wonder if you are interested in the job at berth No. 61?"

"If you can make money, you must be interested."

After a pause, Li An added: "But I remember that your company should always leave the work of those two berths to Kou Hongsheng from He Shengyi?"

Zhang Yan was well aware of Li An's temptation. He smiled and said:
"Kou Hongsheng doesn't have many coolies under him now. If he can't deliver the loading and unloading of the cargo ship on time, it's naturally impossible for him to continue to do it. And you are the largest foreman of the No. [-] cargo terminal, so I came to ask you first.

Of course, I have conditions. I cannot delay the departure of the cargo ship from the port, so that I can deliver the business easily. "

Li An thought for a moment and asked:

"The whole morning has passed, and there are only five minutes left before the workers finish work. How much cargo does Manager Zhang still need to load and unload from the two cargo ships?"

“One-third of the cargo was unloaded and the shipments were stacked on the docks.”

"This is no problem. However, it may be delayed by an hour or two."

Li An focused on Zhang Yan: "It depends on whether Manager Zhang can accept it."

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled heartily:
"Of course I can accept it. Otherwise, let's go over and take a look first."

"Okay!"

Li An nodded in agreement.

He explained to Xiwei again.

"I'll go over first, and you can arrange for three hundred coolies to come over."

"I know, Brother An." Xiwei responded quickly, with an excited face.

"Let's go then."

Zhang extended his hand to signal.

After a while, the two came to berth No. 61 side by side.

The originally busy coolies had stopped long ago, with a somewhat uneasy expression on their faces. They gathered together in twos and threes and talked in low voices.

Kou Hongsheng had no expression on his face, but Jijihei, who was standing behind him, had a fierce look on his face when he saw Li An.

Zhang Yan put on a serious face and walked up to Kou Hongsheng.

"From now on, it will be left to Li An to unload the cargo from the two berths of our company. Kou Hongsheng, please give me the bill for how many tons of cargo were unloaded, and I will pay you every penny."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jijiahei could no longer hold back and glared at him viciously, then turned to look at Li An with a fierce look on his face.

"Lee An, you broke the rules!"

"You tell me the rules."

Li An suddenly interrupted Jijiahei.He smiled at Chicken Foot Hei, and his whole body became much sharper.

"What are the rules? Is it a rule for a foreman to exploit coolies? Is it a rule for a society to oppress ordinary people? Or is it a rule for a policeman to collect the rules? Shit! I tell you, the rule is to have a big fist!"

Chicken feet black scratched his neck: "Then if you have the ability, just show off!"

"Show me your plans? Do you have the qualifications? Have you asked your boss? Do you and Shengyi no longer want to do business?" Li An's tone was unruly.

What he said was very rude, causing Kou Hongsheng on the side to frown.

"you!"

"To shut up!"

Kou Hongsheng scolded, ignoring Jijihei's unwilling eyes, and said calmly:
"Lee An, I can quit the dock and give you the foreman's business. But you can't ruin my other businesses on the dock."

Li An naturally knew the meaning of his words.

He glanced carelessly:

"Other businesses? Human smuggling, or smuggling? I don't take advantage of others. And this kind of illegal thing is not my responsibility. This is what the police should worry about!"
