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

Chapter 242: The Clouds Are Cleared and the Sun Finally Comes

This is the Lap Sun Commercial Building located on Granville Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. It has a novel and elegant design, is close to restaurants, and has complete supporting facilities, attracting many businesses to move in.

This commercial building was completed in 55 and is only 5 years old. The whole building is dominated by black, and there are 2 passenger elevators in the lobby to facilitate the flow of people.

The property is a commercial building with scattered ownership, with offices available for rent and sale, and the rest for semi-retail use. The building is 12 stories high, including 6 floors of office floors (6th to 12th floors) and 5 floors of retail (upstairs shops).

The elevator rose at a constant speed and finally stopped at the 11th floor, where Ang Lee rented a 700-square-foot office as the company's office.

There is a sign on the door saying "Yixin Garment Co., Ltd.", which was the name of the previous company.

Li An opened the door and Feng Huiya followed him: "Is this the company's office?"

"I just rented it yesterday and haven't had time to clean it up. I've been a bit busy these past two days, so I asked a lawyer to sign the lease contract."

Feng Huiya looked around. The office was spacious, located on a high floor, and had good lighting. It was a bit messy, but she just needed to tidy it up and add some office supplies.

"At present, Baihui has four supermarkets, and only the one in Walled City is open for business. Of the three in Tsim Sha Tsui, two have just taken over the shop space, and one is under renovation. The warehouse for storing goods is in Walled City. If it is inconvenient to transport goods later, we can add another warehouse in Tsim Sha Tsui... Oh, and the renovation of ten convenience stores is almost completed, so we can prepare for opening in a few days."

"Convenience store?" Feng Huiya asked in surprise.

Li An nodded and asked, "Any questions?"

"No."

Feng Huiya was really surprised.

Few people know about this new retail model. If supermarkets can change people's shopping habits, then convenience stores can completely subvert traditional grocery stores.

She originally thought that her boss only ran supermarkets, and was thinking of waiting until the supermarkets were on track before talking to her boss about convenience stores. Unexpectedly, Li Ang was planning to run convenience stores as well.

Li An walked to the window, opened it and blew away the dust in the office, then turned to Feng Huiya and said:

"What you need to do now is to register two companies first. The trading company will be used to manage the retail business, and the real estate agency company will be used to run the brokerage business. If you need legal documents, you can go to the law firm on the ninth floor and find lawyer Charlie. As for the company's registered capital, it seems that it can be subscribed, right?"

"Yes, the company has just been registered, so you don't need to report too much subscribed capital. You can add registered capital later as the company develops."

"That's fine."

Li An nodded and continued, "I have always felt that the boss is just the helmsman. He just needs to plan the company's development direction and control the overall situation. The rest can be left to the people below. My woman is now in charge of the retail business. You can help her plan the company structure and handle daily work. The real estate agency will be fully managed by you. But I want to see the later benefits. If the company does not meet my expectations, you can only go to the finance department to be an accountant."

"no problem."

Feng Huiya agreed without any hesitation. She believed that she would have no problem running a company steadily and diligently.

Li An couldn't help but smile when he saw the woman's confident look.

He raised his wrist to check the time: "It's eleven o'clock, she should be here by now, let's go downstairs first and find a restaurant to eat and talk. As for the specific matters, you two can discuss it, I have something else to do."

.........

Mojia boxing gym.

When Li An came over, he saw the door of the martial arts hall was open and Wang Yunwu was standing at the door.

"Senior Brother Wang!" Li An stepped forward.

"My master is waiting for you in the lobby, please come in!"

There was no hostility in Wang Yunwu's eyes. He politely invited Li An in. Two martial arts disciples standing beside him closed the vermilion door.

It is noon now, and there are not many students in the yard, only five or six teenagers practicing boxing.

Following Wang Yunwu into the lobby, the owner Wang Tianlai was sitting on a chair.

This was not the first time the two had met. Back in the boxing ring, when Wang Tianlai knew that Li Ang had stolen the skills, not only was he not angry, he was even willing to teach Li Ang the Mo family boxing that he had secretly learned. Such behavior can be described as a kind-hearted person.

Li An followed the rules of the martial arts world and clasped his left hand in a fist: "Master Wang, I am sorry for coming to your house. I hope you will not be offended!"

Wang Tianlai listened to this and waved his hand: "You handed in your visiting card in advance and showed all your courtesy. It's not presumptuous of you to come to my house. Please take a seat first. You are a guest. It's not too late to have a cup of tea and discuss things later. Ah Wu, serve the tea!"

After Li An sat down, Wang Yunwu came to him with a cup of hot tea.

"I'm not that old-fashioned. People who practice martial arts always like to compete with each other. When I first came to Hong Kong to open a martial arts school, I also challenged many martial arts schools. But at that time, I had both wins and losses. I was not as good as you, nor as young as you. Do you know what Chen Zhansheng of Hongsheng said? He is not as skilled as others! You are the first person who can make him say this." Wang Tianlai said with a smile. Li An took the tea and drank it all:

"I just relied on my youth and strength to defeat Master Chen by a few moves. It was just luck."

His words were not entirely modesty. Chen Zhansheng was very experienced and his Vajra Jade was so powerful that water could not penetrate it. At one point, he forced Ang Lee to stay away from him. In terms of the level of his weapons, he fully deserved the reputation of Hong Sheng Kwan in the Hong Kong martial arts community.

Wang Tianlai heard what Li An said, but shook his head:
"Winning is winning, there is no such thing as luck. Not to mention, Chen Zhansheng's skills are all in weapons."

This Master Wang is really frank... Li An was speechless for a moment and did not respond.

Wang Tianlai stood up and gestured with his hand: "Let's go, let's go out and spar."

The two men walked into the yard side by side. Several young men who were practicing boxing stepped aside and stared at the two men curiously.

Li An glanced at the weapons on the weapon rack. Before he could speak, Wang Tianlai spoke first:
"We don't fight with weapons, we fight with fists and feet."

Li An was stunned: "This..."

Wang Tianlai is old, and if he competes with others in boxing, it will inevitably be seen as bullying.

"You can beat Chen Zhansheng in a fight of weapons, so forget about it. In fact, I am not sure whether it is weapons or fists. I agreed to this competition just to test how well you have practiced the Mo Family Boxing."

"OK then."

Wang Tianlai spoke frankly, so Li An had no choice but to agree.

"Master Wang, please!"

Wang Tianlai rolled up his sleeves: "Please!"

Both of them paused for a second, and Li An took the first step, pushing off the ground with a false step and kicking straight into Wang Tianlai's chest.

Wang Tianlai did not dodge or evade. He leaned his body and lowered his shoulders, raised his right foot, and hooked his leg towards Li An's crotch, forcing Li An to retreat.

He then pushed off the ground and moved forward, taking advantage of the moment when Li Ang took a step back and lost his balance, and kicked out continuously, pressing towards Li Ang like a violent storm!
Li Ang did not look panicked. He stepped to the left, tilted his body, lowered his shoulders, and leaned forward. His foot stretched out like a dragon and touched Wang Tianlai's raised calf.

Wang Tianlai groaned, his right foot was unstable when he landed, and he staggered backward. Before he could steady himself, Li Ang's right foot had already stopped at his chest!
"Concession!"

Li Ang retracted his right leg little by little and stepped back slowly.

The outcome was decided in such a quick round that the students outside the venue could not believe it.

Wang Yunwu took a step forward, ready to support his master, but was stopped by Wang Tianlai's eyes.

He stretched his aching calf, turned his head and looked at Li An. There was no anger on his face. Instead, he praised: "Hooking step, hooking leg, tiger tail kick, piercing heart kick... I didn't expect you to be able to blend the footwork of Baguazhang and the leg techniques of Mojiaquan to this extent. You have the style of a unique school."

"Ashamed!"

Wang Tianlai waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be modest. I have never seen anyone as young as you to this point. However, you can't create your own school. After all, using the footwork of Baguazhang to fight Mojiaquan is not good enough. You should know that the most important thing in traditional martial arts is footwork, and the most basic thing is footwork."

"Master Wang, did you just say footwork?"

Li An seemed to have grasped something and asked.

Wang Tianlai didn't pay attention to Li An's tone and said slowly:
"The footwork is about being light, agile and steady, with a method for advancing and retreating, and a solid foundation for landing! It's easier to practice boxing than to walk. I heard from Chen Zhansheng that when Cailifoquan was first created, the problem was also the footwork..."

Li An paused. Wang Tianlai's words were like a bolt of thunder across his mind.

Yes, I was thinking wrong.

I always want to use Baguazhang's walking and turning to integrate the moves and power of other boxing styles, but I ignore the most basic ones.

Walking is the root of the body, the source of strength, the hub of movement, and the opportunity for change.

The boxing moves, strength, attack and defense are all coordinated by footwork. No wonder, no wonder I always lack this last step...

"Thank you Master Wang for your guidance. I have learned something. I will leave now. I am sorry for offending you today. I hope Master Wang will forgive me!"

Li An bowed deeply and left in a hurry.
