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

Chapter 228 Second Brother Jiri

Wu Shihao left resolutely, and Li An didn't stay long.

After a brief chat with Xiwei and the others, Li An went to report to the dock as soon as the dock construction started.

When Li An came to register, Zhang Jiaxin had not come yet, and only two clerks were there.

"boss."

"boss."

"You are busy."

Li An nodded to the two of them, took a newspaper and put it aside.

It is worth mentioning that with abundant funds, the stalls expanded rapidly. During this period, Zhang Jiaxin successively found six more stalls, and now there are 20 stalls in the entire Upper Central.

Moreover, in addition to the previous tobacco, alcohol, food and water, the current newspaper archives have also added new products, including some stationery supplies. The profit has increased by nearly 10%, which can bring Li An a considerable income of nearly 3,000 yuan every day.

Although the filing is handled by Zhang Jiaxin, it does not mean that Li An can completely be a hands-off shopkeeper. Every week, Li An will take one day to patrol the store and do accounts.

As the boss, Li An should pay attention to whether the work arrangements of the filing clerk are appropriate, and understand the replenishment, out-of-stock, sales, and other matters of the filing goods. This will allow him to have a clearer understanding of the filing operation status and discover potential problems. .

After almost finishing a newspaper, Zhang Jiaxin, pushing his bicycle, finally arrived at the newspaper stall.

He parked his bicycle next to the newspaper stall and walked up to Li An: "Brother An."

"Axin."

Li An glanced at Zhang Jiaxin: "Didn't you say yesterday that you visited three more locations in Central? After visiting the store today, I'll take a look with you."

"it is good."

Li An handed the newspaper in his hand to the clerk, turned around and asked, "By the way, have you had breakfast?"

"have eaten."

Zhang Jiaxin nodded.

"Well, let's go then."

In the future, Ang Lee's retail business will mainly focus on supermarkets and convenience stores. At that time, convenience stores will also sell newspapers, so the choice of newspaper stalls will change later.

Time flies, and a week passes quickly.

These days, the last two cargo terminals in the Sai Wan area have been successfully acquired, and Ang Lee is not idle either. Faman is preparing to renovate five or six shops in Kowloon Tsai and Kowloon Tong, and Ang Lee is at No. 132 Nathan Road. , Lai Wah Building, located in this section of Tsim Sha Tsui, rented Shop No. on the first floor of the building and part of the basement as a second supermarket.

Nathan Road is located in Kowloon, connecting the two prosperous areas of Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui. It is lined with commercial and residential buildings. After dark, pedestrians are like crucian carp, and various neon signs are dazzling, which goes without saying the flow of people.

Lai Wah Building is a commercial building with eight floors, each floor covering an area of ​​nearly 30,000 square feet. The shop No. 6 rented by Ang Lee has an area of ​​nearly 2,000 square feet, including the 8,000 square feet in the basement. A thousand square meters is enough to open a supermarket.

October 1, 1960, the Gengzi year of the lunar calendar, falls on August 11. It is a good day for travel, engagement, and marriage. It is an auspicious day for marriage!

Today is Sanjiang Shui's wedding day. Li An got up early before dawn.

After practicing boxing and kicking for a while, and briefly stretching his muscles, he took Huaman out of the walled city and drove to Nanjing Street in Yau Ma Tei.

The car was speeding along, and Huaman, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked:

"A'an, am I dressed too casually?"

Today, Huaman is wearing a white shirt, a yellow cardigan jacket, white nine-point pants, and a pair of black flat-soled women's leather shoes. She has a light and elegant look.

Li An knew what was going on, glanced at her, and said with a smile:

"No, we are all a family, and it's not a cocktail party, so casual clothes are fine."

Hearing Li An's words, the corners of Hua Man's mouth turned up unconsciously. It was obvious that she was satisfied with it, but she was still a little worried: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. My two senior brothers also know each other, and then there is my master and senior sister. They are very easy to get along with." When Li An drove to Nanjing Street, the sky was just beginning to light up, and the light blue sky was still framed. There are a few sparse remaining stars.

The car stopped steadily on the side of the road. Li An and Hua Man got out of the car one after another. In front of him was a tenement building.

The so-called tenement house is a common residential building in Hong Kong, usually with three to five floors, each floor has more than 1,000 square feet, which is more than 100 square feet.

For example, his previous rental house on Zhongfang Street was also an old tenement building, with shops on the first floor. From the second floor up, the landlord divided each floor into three apartments for rent.

The tenement building that Sanjiangshui bought is not far from the barber shop. It is not that old. It was built just over ten years after the war and cost about 120,000 Hong Kong dollars.

After buying this tenement building, Sanjiangshui spent half a month hiring someone to simply paint and decorate it, and added some household items on the second floor.

According to him, the shop on the first floor can be used as a martial arts studio and he can live on the second floor. Even if he has no source of income in the future, the remaining third floor can be used for rent, which is enough to ensure the life of his family.

It's still early at this time and the customers haven't come to the door yet.

When Li An brought Huaman to the second floor, San Jiangshui and Zhou Sheng, both dressed in formal attire, were chatting, while Chen Xinyi was sitting next to Zhou Sheng.

"Come, sit down."

Seeing Li An and Hua Man coming upstairs, San Jiangshui quickly stood up to greet them.

Li An looked at Sanjiang Shui's complexion:

"Congratulations! People feel good when happy events happen. Senior brother, you look radiant today."

"Of course."

Sanjiangshui responded with a cry.

Li An smiled, took Huaman's hand and introduced to the three of them: "This is Huaman."

After a pause, he said again:

"My senior brother Sanjiang Shui and third senior brother Zhou Sheng, you know them too. This is Sister Xinyi."

Li An introduced them one by one.

"First senior brother, third senior brother, sister Xinyi."

Hua Man Luo Luo shouted generously.

"You're welcome, sit down first." Sanjiang Shui said.

"Hello, my name is Chen Xinyi. We are about the same age, so you can just call me Xinyi from now on. You came just in time. I was worried that there was no one to talk to."

Chen Xinyi stood up and took Huaman to the sofa on one side to sit down. Soon, the two women started chatting happily.

Li An sat next to Zhou Sheng:

"Brother Sheng, you're here so early."

Zhou Sheng took the call: "Lu Zhengming called me yesterday afternoon and said that the flight was in the evening, so I went to Kai Tak Airport before four o'clock, and then went to Tsim Sha Tsui to pick up Xinyi. We had just arrived. .”

"Second senior brother?"

Li An once heard Zhou Sheng mention this second senior brother, his name seemed to be Lu Jianming.

Although Yixiantian has not yet opened its gym, it has been teaching boxing for seven years and many people have come to learn boxing one after another. There are only three formal apprentices, San Jiangshui, Lu Zhengming and Zhou Sheng. Lin Zhaodi studied Baguazhang from the Gong family. Strictly speaking, Yixiantian was only a substitute disciple.

"Well, he went to Master's place and should be here later."
