Chapter 132: Make it clear, Aquan

Seeing the vague sarcasm on the face of the young man opposite, Ke Wanchang gritted his teeth secretly.

The expression on his face remained unchanged, and he ignored Li An's ridicule and asked:

"Lee An, you have thirteen gunmen here, so well prepared. If you just come to the Walled City to have fun, your skills are completely sufficient, and there is no need to make such a big show. What is your purpose in coming to the Walled City?"

Apart from Yang Zhuluan, who is the most hidden behind the hometown association, Ke Wanchang is the most scheming in the Walled City.If Ke Wanchang had not thought of such a big battle this time, he would not have been able to stabilize Fu Shou Jin and the Feng brothers in the walled city.

Li An smiled and said seriously: "Of course we are doing business."

Ke Wanchang frowned imperceptibly and blurted out: "Are you here to plant a flag in the walled city?"

Li An asked back:
"Can't we do serious business in the walled city?"

Ke Wanchang sneered and said, "Even a three-year-old child in the village wouldn't believe this. It's hard to fool a ghost."

Li An shook his head: "So, you guys who are part of the society deserve to be sidelined for the rest of your life. How can you get rich with a stupid mind? In addition to fighting for territory, don't you know how to turn your brain around?"

What he said was so rude that Ke Wanchang couldn't help but change his expression.

Ke Wanchang stared intently at Li An, who was sitting opposite him, with a cold and stern light flashing in his eyes.

He could swear to his dead wife that at this moment he wanted to cut the hateful guy in front of him into pieces, provided that he didn't have these dozen guns.

"Ah"

Li An said hey.

He didn't care, as if he didn't see the other person's face, and asked again: "Do you know the password to wealth?"

Ke Wanchang's face turned blue and red for a while, and he remained calm and silent.

"Forget it, you only know how to take advantage of others. You wouldn't know if I asked you."

Li An shook his head and sighed.

Then he coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Let me ask you something simple."

After a pause, he asked again: "Does the gambling shop make money?"

"."

"Are brothels and dance halls profitable?"

"."

For two questions in succession, Ke Wanchang frowned and said nothing.

"Hey! I can tell by looking at your expression that you are making money, otherwise you wouldn't be fighting to death for these businesses."

Li An snorted and spoke again:
"Let me tell you, as long as it involves real estate, trade, gambling, energy, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment, there is nothing that you can't make money from. It's just like your profitable gambling houses and brothels are related to gambling and entertainment. .”

Ke Wanchang remained silent, but his face was thoughtful.

Li An saw his expression and smiled silently.

Then he pursed his lips and controlled his tone:
"Open the skylight and speak frankly. In fact, I don't like to argue with others. The reason why I made an exception to talk to you today is to say hello to your fellow villagers. From now on, I, Li An, am going to do serious business in Chengzhai. ”

Ke Wanchang shook his head: "Do you believe me? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"Believe it or not!"

Li An really didn't lie to Ke Wanchang this time.

Although the Walled City is just a slum, no matter how poor the people in it are, they are still inseparable from food, clothing, housing and transportation.

People don't have to go to gambling houses or prostitutes, but they can only spend money on food and drink.As the most densely populated area in the world, the prospect of opening a supermarket is undoubtedly very good.

Ang Lee's initial plan was for retail and logistics, so there was nothing wrong with opening a store in Chengzhai in advance, and then he could just expand directly to Tsim Sha Tsui.

This type of supermarket, similar to the fresh food supermarkets of later generations, was developed after World War II. It first emerged in Europe and the United States and was a store that mainly dealt in fresh food and daily necessities.

Although the current population of the Walled City has not reached the more than 5 residents counted when it was demolished, it still has a population of nearly 3.With the support of this continuously growing population, at least until the Walled City is demolished, this supermarket can bring considerable profits to Li An.

There is no tax, you can operate a monopoly, and you can also leave a rear in the walled city, achieving multiple things with one stone.

"Besides, there is no need to lie to you about this kind of thing. You will know it when you see me open."

Li An laughed softly, patted his butt and stood up, leading the people outside.

As if remembering something, he suddenly turned around, looked at Ke Wanchang and said:
"There is one more thing, I almost forgot to tell you."

Seeing that Li An was about to leave, Ke Wanchang did not mention the other party's attempt to ruin his situation, but asked expressionlessly:
"what's up?"

"Zhou Sheng is my senior brother. I don't want anyone to bother him anymore."

Li An smiled at Ke Wanchang, but his eyes were cold.

"Although I don't like getting dirty, I don't have the same scruples as the people in your club. I don't mind getting my hands red."

Ke Wanchang snorted coldly: "Are you scaring me?"

"Satin's eyelids are too shallow to look at people."

Li An's smile did not change.

"You don't simply think that I only have a few people, do you? How many gangsters will there be in your hometown? Two hundred? Three hundred? Or four hundred? What if?
What I mean is that if you continue to trouble my senior brother, I will take people into the city and sweep away your hometown association.Those policemen have scruples about the walled city, but I, Li An, have no taboos and are lawless! "

For a moment, Ke Wanchang thought: "This kid in front of me is bluffing me."

But Li An's expression was extremely serious when he spoke, which made him unable to grasp Li An for a while.

It's not that there are no short dogs in the club, but no one brings them to fight. They still rely on a pair of fists to solve problems. That's because they have scruples and want to make ends meet.But Li An openly brought so many gunmen into the city, acting like a gangster, without any scruples, and indeed a bit lawless.

However, he can at least be sure now that the other party is here to mess with him and to intimidate him.

Ke Wanchang took a deep breath, his face looking ugly.

Watching Li An lead the people away, until the other person's back disappeared, he was still looking at the door with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Ke Wanchang came back to his senses and glanced at the messy gambling shop.

He turned his eyes to the trembling Sijiu in front of him and asked in a cold tone:

"What about the gambling house's losses?"

Sijiu, who was wearing a plaid blouse, observed Ke Wanchang's face and whispered:

"The gambling house was completely looted, and even the 6 yuan in reserve in the accounting room was taken away. If there is no money, it may be problematic to open tomorrow."

"Li An!"

Ke Wanchang clenched his fists and his chest heaved violently.

Sijiu swallowed hard and lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

"Let's collect the gambling debt below first."

Ke Wanchang's suppressed angry voice sounded in his ears, and Sijiu responded quickly:

"I understand, Mr. Ke."

After walking out of the central gambling house, the group walked on the narrow and damp Longjin Road.

Li Jianjun took two quick steps and walked side by side with Li An, frowning and asked:

"A'an, would you be a little impulsive if you just tell Ke Wanchang like this and change the initiative into a passive one?"

"Will not."

Li An shook his head with a smile on his face: "The more sophisticated you are, the more you think. My fellow villagers are at odds with each other. Before I find out my details, as long as I don't seize their territory, they will not get along with me." I fell out of favor."

The so-called art is bold.

The dozen people he brought with him were not members of the community who used short dogs as fire sticks, but actually people who had been trained by the militia.

With his skill and superb marksmanship, Li Jianjun, with enough bullets, is enough to fight an encounter in a complex environment like the walled city, and there is absolutely no taboo.

If he hadn't been greedy for the belongings of the three fellow villagers, he would have killed Ke Wanchang just now.

He guessed that after his troubles, Ke Wanchang was more worried about whether he would reach cooperation with Fu Shoujin or the Feng brothers.

What's more, since Chaoyang, who has transformed into Aquan, has arrived at the walled city, it means that the walled city will soon fall into chaos.When the time comes, all he needs to do is to muddy the waters, secretly add fuel to the flames, stir up civil strife among the three fellow villagers, and plan his own affairs.

"You just have to figure it out."

Li Jianjun nodded and then said:

"Then you mentioned doing business in the Walled City before?"

"I'm not lying to him. I'm really planning to do serious business in the walled city."

Li An smiled, raised his wrist and glanced at the time.

It is already 05:30 in the afternoon.

"Uncle Jun, it's getting late. Let's find a snack stall to fill our stomachs first."

Li Jianjun didn't ask any more questions, but nodded: "Okay. But although the Walled City is a slum, there is a lot of food. What do you want to eat?"

Li An shook his head: "I don't care, as long as it can fill my stomach, if you are more familiar with it here, you will naturally make the decision."

"No problem, let's go."

At six o'clock in the evening, the sunless city had already begun to dim.

Take it off. At the door of the dance hall, the man shouted in an exaggerated tone:
"Wow, you guys, aren't you ready to watch the Overlord Show?"

Ah Quan said in an indignant tone: "I said I was looking for someone, but didn't I say I was looking for a girl like this?"

Hearing this, the man had a smile on his face.

"What kind of girl is that? A dancer is not a girl! Why are you blaming me for not being attractive?"

"I don't know what you are talking about. You are making trouble. I'm leaving."

Ah Quan said a few words, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey wait a minute, I want to leave."

Two young men with the same scornful expressions walked over maliciously, one on the left and the other on the right, and grabbed A Quan's arm.

The man walked up to him and stretched out his right hand:

"Take the money."

Ah Quan stared at the man angrily: "How could I have any money? If you hadn't brought me to a place like this, how could I have lost my luggage bag?"

"I don't care whether you lose your luggage or not, but you can't watch the Overlord Show."

Ah Quan refused to budge: "You return the bag to me, and I will give you the money."

The man rolled his eyes: "Okay, you want it, right? Then come with me."

He winked, and the two young men pushed and pulled Ah Quan and walked to the side alley.

But just as they passed the west gate of the walled city, the girl's cry could be heard.

"Don't fight, please don't fight."

Ah Quan turned his head and saw two men with fierce faces, Si Jiu, beating a middle-aged man. The young and delicate girl next to him was begging and crying so hard.

He took a step forward and was about to rush forward, but was grabbed by a man with sharp eyes and quick hands. The three of them pushed Ah Quan into an alley aside.

"In all my years in the Walled City, I have never seen anyone who likes to show off."

The man's tone was teasing, and he stretched out his hand: "Take the money."

"Give me your bag first."

"You won't give it, right? Do it!"

The man waved his hand, and the two young men with ruffian faces grabbed their fists and prepared to take action.

At this moment, Ah Quan had never been so angry. He broke away from the two of them and said angrily:
"You didn't see someone being beaten outside! If you don't save him, he will definitely be beaten to death."

The man said calmly:

"The Walled City has its own rules. It's not wrong to beat people here, even to death. Do you know what's wrong? It's because you don't have money! You don't have money, right? Then beat them."

"Money, money, money! Is money more important than human life?"

Ah Quan took a deep breath, took out a folded Hong Kong dollar from his shoe and handed it over.

"You want money, right? Here it is!"

The man was stunned for a moment and looked at Ah Quan in surprise.

"Take it!"

Ah Quan slapped the money into the man's hand, turned around and ran out of the alley.

The man looked at the money in his hand, was silent for a moment, waved his hand, motioned for the two people on the side to leave, and followed Ah Quan.

"Hey! Stop it!"

As soon as Ah Quan ran out of the alley, he shouted at Sijiu who was beating someone.

One of them looked back at him and said, "It's none of your business. He deserves to be beaten to death because he has no money."

"It's just money, there's no need to pay for it with your life."

When the two forty-nine heard this, they let go of the beaten middle-aged man and stared at Ah Quan with wooden sticks in their hands.

"You brat, you have to show off, right?"

"I think you are courting death?"

The two of them were cursing and looking at Ah Quan with evil eyes.

Seeing this, Ah Quan glanced at the corner of the west gate, and with both hands, he grabbed the abandoned gun barrel in the corner, weighing five to six hundred kilograms.

"come!"

The two Forty-Nine were startled, swallowed, and subconsciously stepped back.

"The gambling debt has doubled."

The two looked at each other, said something to the middle-aged man who fell to the ground, turned around and ran away.

Ah Quan breathed a sigh of relief, dropped the barrel with a bang, and ran over quickly.

The middle-aged man asked with concern:
"Are you OK?"

The girl glanced at Ah Quan and said in a soft voice: "Thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

The middle-aged man spat, stood up with the girl's help, put his fingers almost on Ah Quan's nose, and said with a sad face:
"Who asked you to meddle in other people's business? I was killed by you. I let them vent their anger. Now that I have offended them, they will ask me to pay double compensation tomorrow."

The girl quickly interrupted the middle-aged man:
"Dad, he also has good intentions and wants to help us."

"A kind heart can be eaten as a meal? A kind heart doesn't need to pay back the money? If he was kind, he would help me pay back the money."

The middle-aged man left angrily.

The girl watched her father leave, bowed her head to Ah Quan and apologized: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my father."

"Xinxin, go back and watch your dad first."

At this time the man came over and said something to the girl.

"Then I'll leave first, I'm sorry."

Watching the girl leave, Ah Quan was silent for a while, then turned to look at the man.

"You know them, why didn't you save them just now?"

"He's a bad gambler and has a lot of debt. How many times can you save him, hero! Besides, the Walled City is a world where individuals cannibalize themselves."

"Stop talking!"

Ah Quan waved his hand to interrupt, turned around and left.

He walked forward aimlessly alone, with confusion on his face.

 Regarding book friends’ questions, there are too many words to comment, so I’ll write them here.

  The monopoly that the protagonist talks about is based on the complex environment of the Walled City, and there will be no other supermarkets.

  Of course, doing business will definitely harm the interests of some people.Just like there is a Yonghui Supermarket in the community, the business of other vegetable shops and supermarkets will naturally be affected.

  It won't cut off the livelihood of ordinary people.

  In fact, I also researched the information for a long time before writing this.

  The earliest supermarkets on Hong Kong Island also began to exist during this period.

  As for fresh food, due to the surge in population during this period, the local market was in short supply, so the mainland opened a supply of fresh food, but it was still unable to meet the demand, so some fresh food was imported from foreign countries.

  I just checked whether there are any armed forces in the surrounding villages in the New Territories. I didn't find it, but even if there were, it wouldn't be a black gun.

  Making money in the 60s included real estate, trade, gambling, energy, food, clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment, and so on.

  For the protagonist, the initial accumulation of wealth is undoubtedly food, clothing, housing, transportation and entertainment.

  When it comes to real estate, we don’t have enough capital right now.

  As for the newspaper industry you mentioned.

  It's not really about making a lot of money, it's mainly about expanding your influence through the newspaper industry.

  As shown in the previous drama, the Yuanfang Daily in the hands of the big and small horses has already laid the groundwork, but at this time, the big and small horses have not yet set foot in it.
