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

Chapter 17 Ideas, Small Business
As for bringing the four Wu Shihao brothers to work at the dock, it was just a matter of convenience.

...

"Brother Hao, when you have free time on weekdays, you four brothers can go to the other cargo terminals.

Be on the lookout for people who come to the docks looking for work with a skill, such as a cook, sailor, fireman, or seaman with experience in sailing.If these people intend to work on the freighter, you should register their information. "

"Ah."

Wu Shihao nodded and then said:

"A'an, don't worry about this! I will definitely help you handle your matter."

Li An smiled and corrected:
"This is not just my business, it is a part-time job for you. If any of the people you find work successfully, after signing an agreement with the shipowner manager, I will share the commission with you."

Hearing this, Wu Shihao quickly refused: "Let us help with such a small matter, how can I take your money? Me."

"Okay, just do as I said."

Before Wu Shihao could finish speaking, Li An interrupted with a smile.

"But…"

Wu Shihao opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Li An stopped his smile and said angrily:
"Big man, don't want mother-in-law and mother-in-law. You work, I will pay you, there is no need to refuse.

Besides, being a broker on the pier is my brother's business, and I am the same as you, just taking a share of the commission.understand? "

"Yeah." Wu Shihao nodded.

"That's right."

Li An's originally stern face turned into a smile again.

He patted Wu Shihao's shoulder, his tone a little serious.

"Dare to fight, Kenbo, this is a good thing. It's not shabby to make money! But it's better not to do things like showing off your horses to increase the number of people.

Or go through a cutscene and shout a few more times, fuck you!Then just wait for those famous big brothers to finish their talks and get paid.

Even if you really fight, you don't have to work too hard. Anyway, the end result is just to call it a day and get paid.

Besides, a fight only costs 40 yuan, so why risk your life?There are still many opportunities to make money in the future. "

Wu Shihao was silent for a while, nodded and said, "I understand."

"Okay. Brother Hao, then you go to work first, and I will hand over the goods later."

Now that everything has been said, Li An will say no more.

And what should be reminded was also reminded.

He also found a part-time job for the four brothers, and the rest of the journey depends on how he chooses to go.

to be honest.

What Ang Lee admires and wants to make friends with is Wu Shihao, who dares to fight hard, is loyal, and talks about "a thousand-year record of winning people's favor and fruit".

Not that lame man who says, "I can't take anything with me, I can only keep my karma with me"!

Li An stopped for a moment when he saw Wu Shihao walking to the dealer to receive the money and carrying the goods onto the freighter.

"Andy!"

There was a shout from afar.

Li An turned his head, looked at the small factory owner who was delivering the goods to the dock, heaved a sigh of relief, and greeted him with a smile again.

In the 60s, the light industry developed rapidly, among which the plastic industry developed most strongly, and the toy manufacturing industry also became the mainstream industry in the 60s.

In addition, it is electronics, food, textiles and ready-made clothing.

Li An said with a smile:

"Boss Zhang, we are shipping again!"

"Just kidding, a small business, just for a living."

The fat Boss Zhang narrowed his eyes with a smile and pointed at the goods behind him.

"Now, it's just fifteen tons of toys that will be shipped to Singapore on COSCO Shipping's cargo ship. Please help me arrange for a few people to help transport them on the ship."

As he spoke, he took out two packs of unknown cigarettes printed in English from his handbag.

"Hey, Boss Zhang, here you go again! You know I don't smoke." Li An refused.

Boss Zhang forced the cigarette into his hand.nor let him refuse,
"If you don't smoke, then give it to the workers. It's a small idea.. Well, I just have a small request. Please explain to the workers when you put in the goods. Be lighter. They are all toys, fragile products, and they are more damaged. The buyer doesn't accept the goods either."

"learn!"

Li An nodded in response.

Called Tiao Lao and stuffed the cigarette into his hand: "Boss Zhang's goods, let the brothers be careful, fragile goods."

Boss Zhang at the side nodded in satisfaction.

After Li An counted the goods, he took the payment from Boss Zhang and said, "Business first!".

Then he turned around to face the next cargo owner.

Today, many small factory owners I know well came to deliver goods, so I was busy for nearly three hours.

Only then did Li An get a moment of rest.

After gulping down a cup of herbal tea, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat on the stool to rest.

"Ange!"

A young man ran over quickly.

Li An asked with a smile:

"Axin, why are you here so late today?"

"Sorry, Brother An. I had something to do at home this morning, so I came late."

The young man known as A Xin was less than 20 years old, with a baby face, wearing a washed yellowed white shirt, holding a newspaper wrapped in chicken skin paper in his arms, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

He freed his right hand, took out a copy of the Times from his arms, and placed it on the table.

"Brother An, this is your newspaper."

Li An greeted:
"No hurry, come, sit first. Drink a cup of herbal tea to reduce the heat."

"Thank you."

Although the two had known each other for a week, Ah Xin was still a little nervous. After placing the newspaper wrapped in chicken paper on the table, he carefully opened the stool and sat down.

Li An glanced at the wrapped newspaper:
“How many newspapers can you sell in one day on the docks?”

Although Ah Xin didn't understand Li An's intentions, after thinking about it for a while, he replied honestly:
"When it's good, it can sell nearly [-] copies, but almost it can only sell less than [-] copies."

Finally, he added: "The main reason is that we are not allowed to sell near other docks, otherwise we can sell more."

"That's not bad, six yuan a day is much better than doing coolies."

Li An nodded secretly, which was pretty much what he expected.

Most of the people on the freight wharf were coolies, and they were reluctant to spend a dime or two on newspapers.

People who buy newspapers are usually sailors, or vendors, or people who come to the dock to do business.

If it is in a passenger terminal like Yau Ma Tei, with the current surge in population, newspaper boys like Ah Xin can easily sell thousands of copies a day.

In fact, small businesses can also make a lot of money.

These days, relying on a small newspaper stall, not selling tobacco, alcohol, food and water, only relying on newspapers, there are not a few newspaper vendors who can support their families.

During this time, Ang Lee also thought about how to make money.

The only way to make quick money at the dock is through smuggling and smuggling.

If you do smuggling, the situation will be small.

Smuggling, undoubtedly huge profits.

Thanks to the blockade of the mainland by Western countries after World War II, Hong Kong Island has become the mainland's only port facing the world.

Let’s not talk about the rich people who made their fortune through smuggling.

For example, most of the Chaozhou Gang's gangsters, as well as Lian Gong Le, a brand founded on Liu Fuhe Pier, made a fortune through smuggling and human smuggling.

Ang Lee also wants to do smuggling.

The key is funds, and connections are not taken up, and it is useless to think about it.

However, Manager Liu's words in the morning gave him a new way of thinking.

No matter how much money is spent, it won't go out of your pocket.

It's okay to try to open a newspaper stall. You have to try the water, and the capital is not big.

The most difficult thing to do is to ask Zhou Sheng to go to the Department of Health to apply for the registration and license.
