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

Chapter 124 Choice, Gift

Ang Lee is telling the truth.

During the day, this pier is visited by normal ocean-going cargo ships, while in the early morning, there are some small ships engaged in smuggling and people-smuggling.

Even Lian Gongle, who had had conflicts with Sanjiangshui before, was still doing the human smuggling business on the dock as before, and Li An was well aware of this.

Ang Lee's consistent principle is not to offend the river.

He has no time to worry about things that the police don't care about.

The foreman was doing daytime work, and he had already stopped working and slept in the early hours of the morning. As long as the other party was not asking for trouble, Li An would naturally pretend that he could not see him.

Kou Hongsheng was silent for a while and then said dryly:
"From today on, we and Shengyi's people will not come to your territory to cause trouble again."

"Thank you then." Li An said calmly.

Zhang Yan, who was standing aside, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two had reached an agreement.

His top priority now is to solve the problem of loading and unloading cargo and allow the ship to leave the port normally. He does not want the two parties to conflict and cause complications.

Zhang Yan had a smile on his face and said politely: "Kou Hongsheng, give me the bill and I will give you the payment now."

"no need."

Kou Hongsheng waved his hand to interrupt Zhang Yan.

"There aren't many goods, so you can just pay them to Li An together."

After speaking, he looked at Li An:

"As for the wages of these coolies? They will continue to work on the dock anyway, don't you think?"

"That's natural." Li An responded calmly.

".let's go!"

Kou Hongsheng took a deep breath, and without saying anything else, he said hello and turned to leave.

It's just that there is inevitably a bit of sadness on his face.

There are talented people from all over the world!
Although after the conflict between Changle Club and Li An, Kou Hongsheng had expected such a day, and had already made a decision in his heart, judging from the strong methods Li An had always displayed.

But when he, a club boss who had been around for more than ten years, was really forced to exit the dock in embarrassment by a young man, Kou Hongsheng still felt a little depressed.

"Let's go! Why are you still hanging around here!"

Jijihei turned his head and shouted angrily at his subordinate Sijiu who was standing aside. He glared at Li An unwillingly and followed Kou Hongsheng.

"Ange!"

At this time, Xiwei also walked over with three hundred coolies with an excited look on his face, passing by Jijihei who looked unwilling.

Zhang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the coolie coming over, with a smile on his face: "Then I'll leave it to you."

"Manager Zhang's words are too outrageous. We will have to rely on you in the future." Li An said politely.

"You're welcome!"

Manager Zhang was obviously very helpful. At least the young man in front of him treated him very politely and was not as unruly as he had been with Kou Hongsheng just now.

"You go and arrange the workers to do their work."

After sending Zhang Yan away, Li An confessed to Xiwei.

He took another look at the coolies who had gathered together with Kou Hongsheng leaving, looking anxious, and said:
"Also, these people should also make arrangements."

"Okay." Xiwei nodded in agreement.

Dawei and Wu Shihao came to the pier together, carrying packed meals in their hands.

After putting the two long wooden tables on the pier together and setting the food, Dawei shouted:
"Brother An, it's time to eat."

Li An came over and took a look at the dishes on the table.

A few snacks, roast pork, beef brisket, shredded green peppers and potatoes, and stir-fried green vegetables
Rich color and fragrant aroma.

"It's quite rich."

"We bought it from Hutchison Restaurant where we ate last time. Their food was pretty good." Dawei handed over the bowls and chopsticks.

"Sit all."

Li An asked Li Jianjun and others to sit down and said:

"Dawei, go to berth 61 and ask your brother to come over for dinner."

"okay."

"Kou Hongsheng's territory was taken so quickly." Wu Shihao was a little surprised. He didn't show his intentions. He thought the opponent would struggle.

Everyone was not seated, and Li An was not in a hurry to use his chopsticks. He picked up a piece of butterfly cake and laughed out loud:
"The shipowner's manager is very impatient, how can he not be happy? Kou Hongsheng is a smart man. He puts a lot of Hong Kong banknotes in his pocket every day. Naturally, he cannot be like those little four-nine who just want to get ahead and dare to fight and fight! "

Xiao Sijiu, who has just joined the club, dares to fight and fight hard when encountering problems. This is to strive for wealth and status!

When the club bosses have something to do, they just drink tea and talk about numbers. This is called talking about the rules of the world and sizing up the situation!
On the contrary, it also confirms the saying "the older you get, the less courageous you are!"

Everyone is the same. Once you learn to assess the situation, you will naturally have more worries.

After a pause, Li An said with a smile: "To put it bluntly, these club bosses have long passed the stage of fighting for their lives. Just like Kou Hongsheng, making money is the first priority for them. If something happens, they will first What I also think about is assessing the situation, how to choose, and whether it is worth it.

You must know that the ones who call the shots in the club are always this kind of smart people, the kind of single-minded Sijiu. In fact, they have the least future in the club, because it is over as soon as they enter the club, even if they are not dead on the streets due to good luck. , in the end he will just be a red stick.But Hong Guan is still just a gangster. "

"Oh I see."

Wu Shihao pondered Li An's words thoughtfully.

Although Li An is younger than him, he feels that he has learned a lot since working with Li An.

Li An put the butterfly cake into his mouth and asked as if he remembered something:
"By the way, Xiwei said earlier that the shipowner's manager is looking for you. Are you finished?"

"I'm done." Wu Shihao nodded.

"Then you can help on the dock. Kou Hongsheng's land has just been taken over, and the shipowner's manager is in a hurry to load the goods. Xiwei is taking care of it alone, so it is inevitable that he will be a little confused. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I will leave first."

"No problem. If you have something to do, go ahead and do it."

Wu Shihao said quickly.

While the two were chatting, the two brothers Dawei also came over.

When they sat around the table, Li An greeted them.

"Come on, eat."

"Wow, how come you, a busy man, have time to come to my place?"

Seeing Li An coming over, Sanjiang Shui joked with an exaggerated expression.

Li An smiled back, pulled up a stool and sat across from Sanjiang Water.

"Senior brother, have you eaten?"

Sanjiang Shui took the teapot and made a cup of herbal tea for Li An, with a teasing tone:

"What? You took over Kou Hongsheng's territory and you want to treat me to a meal?"

Li An glanced at his mouth:

"You should be the one to treat me to dinner. You, the shopkeeper, sit up and share the money with me. My life is miserable and I have to worry about this and that on the dock."

Sanjiangshui brought up the old story again: "How have you considered what I told you last time? It used to be one or two berths and not much money, so it didn't matter. But now the stall where you are fighting for your life is so big. , my share”

"Stop! Don't talk about this anymore."

Li An interrupted Sanjiang Shui.

Twenty percent of the money earned from Cargo Terminal No. [-] is allocated to Wu Shihao and the others, which is also their hard-earned money from managing the terminal.He and Sanjiang Shui left [-]% and [-]% each.

Li An also knew what his senior brother meant and didn't want to take advantage of him. He had talked to him about this matter several times before.

But sometimes, people cannot be narrow-minded and value immediate interests too much.

Although Sanjiang Shui rarely worries about things on the dock there, it is undeniable that Li An can gain a foothold on the dock and Sanjiang Shui has contributed a lot.As for the broker's business, he is also generous and shares his share.Worried that he would suffer losses at the dock, he arranged for Hou Shijie to be his helper.
The friendship between brothers and sisters is far beyond what this small amount of money can measure.

And Zhou Sheng
Sometimes, Li An is also glad that he can learn boxing from Yi Xian Tian, ​​so that he can gain a pure brotherhood when he is alone.

"OK OK."

Seeing Li An's serious face, Sanjiang Shui had no choice but to give up.

He took a sip of tea: "Tell me, you are so busy now, why do you want to see me?"

"Zhou Sheng was promoted to Detective Inspector. His Uncle Chang specially arranged a promotion banquet for him. He told me about this the day before yesterday and asked me to talk to you. You can arrange things on the dock and we will go there. .”

"Isn't the promotion banquet always at night? It's only noon now, why are we going so early?"

"Of course we are going to buy some gifts! The two of us are also senior brothers with him, so naturally we have to support the occasion. If we go there empty-handed, won't we be looked down upon by those who come to celebrate?"

"That's right." Sanjiang Shui nodded: "Then wait a moment."

After that, he stood up and left the pergola.

In just two cups of tea, the water from Sanjiang River turned around and said, "Let's go."

At eight o'clock in the evening, night fell.

Boundary Street, Fulinmen Restaurant.

"Drip~"

The street was crowded with people, and a brand-new black Ford car drove slowly and stopped at the door.

Li An, who was wearing a suit, opened the door and got out of the car.

Sanjiang Shui then got out of the passenger seat, walked around the front of the car and came to him.

"At the car shop, I thought you were here to brag, but I didn't expect you could drive?"

"Aren't you looking down on me too much? Can't you just start driving a car? Do you need to learn such a simple thing?"

Li An replied nonchalantly.

Seeing that Sanjiang Shui was a little surprised, he seemed to have remembered something and said with a smile: "Brother, you don't know how to do this? How about I teach you when I have time?"

Sanjiang Shui slapped him over and said harshly:

"Fuck you! I still need you to teach me? Give me the car, I don't drive the same way."

Li An took half a step back lightly and said, "As agreed, the fare will be deducted from your share. Thirty-eight thousand and eight thousand! If I round up the figure for you, I'll give it to you as twenty thousand."

"And you round up the numbers like this? Does that mean I need more, right?"

Sanjiang Shui glanced at it, then looked back at the brand new car, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Give me a car! Not to mention, it's really a bit original."

"That's natural. It's so cliché to give gold as a gift! People rely on clothes, horses and saddles. Zhou Sheng is a detective at least, so he doesn't have a car. Giving him one can match his status as a detective. .”

After a pause, Li An said with a smile: "Senior brother, on the day you and your sister-in-law get married, I will definitely give you a more luxurious car. It must be worthy of your status, senior brother."

"I'll forget it, you should just buy one yourself."

Sanjiang Shui snorted and walked towards the restaurant.

"Please upstairs!" A waiter extended his hand to signal.

When you arrive on the second floor, you will see a large and luxurious space in front of you, with Chinese and Western styles. The gorgeous crystal chandeliers on the ceiling reflect colorful light.

The hall was full of distinguished guests, and there was a roar of people drinking and drinking!

Zhou Sheng, who was entertaining guests, put down his wine glass, whispered a few words to the middle-aged man in a straight suit beside him, and walked over quickly.

"Brother, An, you are here."

He looked at Li An up and down and joked: "I didn't expect you to look so handsome in this way."

Ang Lee pretended to be dissatisfied: "Wow, one day I won't be handsome!"

"I'm sorry, senior brother, I said something wrong and I will punish myself with three drinks later." Zhou Sheng laughed.

"It's almost there."

Li An nodded with satisfaction, took out the car key from his pocket and patted it in Zhou Sheng's hand.

"My senior brother and I gave it to you. The car is parked outside the restaurant."

"Come here, why bother spending so much money?"

Zhou Sheng's face suddenly felt dissatisfied, and he stretched out his hand to return it.

Sanjiang Shui pushed his hand back with an unhappy tone:
"Okay, a little gift, just take the one I gave you."

"Okay." Zhou Sheng glanced at the two of them and saw that he couldn't refuse, so he had to put it away.

Sanjiang Shui's expression softened a lot: "This is right."

"Detective Zhou, hello!"

A voice that couldn't contain its charm came over.

The sound of high heels clicking came from far away. Huaman was wearing an embroidered black rose skirt and a pair of black high heels, looking sexy and enchanting.

She walked forward with a cheerful face and handed over the pure gold Pixiu packaged in a glass gift box.

"Congratulations, this is a gift for you!"

After saying that, she suddenly saw Li An beside her out of the corner of her eye, and she was obviously stunned for a moment.

He turned his head and stared straight at Li An, as if he thought of something shy, a big blush rose on his face!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Sheng and San Jiangshui stared at the two of them suspiciously.

"Cough cough!"

Li An coughed twice: "Hello, Miss Huaman."

The blush on Huaman's face faded away in an instant, and she said calmly: "Hello."

"Then thank you. Miss Huaman, please sit inside. I'm sorry for my poor hospitality."

Zhou Sheng took the gift calmly.

If he was a dance hall owner before, he might not be so polite.But now seeing the expressions of Huaman and his junior brother, he always felt that there seemed to be something fishy between the two, and his tone became much more polite.

"You're welcome, Detective Zhou is busy first."

Huaman glanced at Li An and seemed to have no intention of talking to Li An. He walked towards the table beside him.

Zhou Sheng opened his mouth to ask something, but Li An took the gift in his hand.

Facing the guest who was walking towards me holding gold jewelry, he pursed his lips and said:
"Brother Sheng, where are the gifts? I'll help you put them away. You can entertain the guests first."

Without rushing to ask, Zhou Sheng pointed to the right side.

"there."

"it is good."

Li An turned and left.

Sanjiang Shui followed him: "Hey, An. Didn't we meet this Huaman when we were watching the boxing match that day? What's going on with you two?"

Li An's expression froze, but he still said calmly: "What's going on?"

"You think I'm blind. This woman looks at you and thinks I didn't see it."

Sanjiangshui chattered incessantly behind.

Li An put the gifts in his hands, pointed at the gold jewelry piled on the table, and changed the subject:

"Senior brother, look at these gold ornaments! No wonder they all want to be detectives. The gifts they receive at any banquet can be used to open a gold shop."
