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

Chapter 33 Starting a Business
"know."

Wu Shihao nodded.

He took a big bite out of the butter bun, and looked at his brother who was devouring it:

"Xiwei, Ah Qi, I'll leave it to the two of you to put up the flyer."

"no problem."

Xi Wei fully agreed.

Dumb Seven also nodded in agreement.

Li An saw that only three of the four people who were usually inseparable came to the dock today, and he couldn't help but smile and asked:

"Why didn't you see Dawei today?"

Wu Shihao responded casually: "Dawei has been feeling unwell for the past two days, so I let him rest at home."

Li An looked at him and said seriously:

"If you feel unwell, take him to the clinic. If you can't, go to the hospital. Don't worry about money. If you are short of money, you can tell me."

"I understand. An, is there anything else? If not, we'll get busy."

As Wu Shihao said, he stuffed two mouthfuls of the remaining butter buns into his mouth, and stood up.

Then he urged the two people beside him to get up: "Eat quickly, and go to work after eating."

"Brother Hao, wait a minute."

Li An thought for a while, and called Wu Shihao to stop.

"In the future, don't do the job of porting at the terminal, and you won't make much money. You can get in touch with shipowner managers or shipping companies at other terminals.
These shipping companies engaged in shipping are not short of this commission. "

"Contact the shipowner manager?" Wu Shihao looked at Li An in confusion.

"Well, if you can handle the shipowner's manager and the workers at the same time, I will give you [-]% of the commission. Of course, whether you can handle the employer and make more money depends on your ability."

Li An spread five fingers and smiled:

"You don't want to bring your three brothers to work as coolies on the pier all the time, do you?"

Sanjiangshui has a salted fish every day, and the manager of the shipowner comes to him, so he occasionally works part-time as a broker.

Wait until later to expand the business to other terminals.

With Sanjiang Shui's unreliable temperament, Li An himself may not have the energy.

Then it would be a good choice to hand over the business to the Wu Shihao brothers.

Moreover, Wu Shihao dares to fight and fight.

Throughout his life, there is absolutely no doubt about his ability to go from being penniless to becoming one of the new four major families.

Although black and white belong to two different paths, Wu Shihao's characteristic of daring to fight and fight is a rare advantage in this mixed era.

To be a coolie at the pier is a bit of a talent.

"It can be done for sure."

Wu Shihao's tone was firm.

He brought his brother to Hong Kong Island with great ambitions to earn money.

Now that Li An has put all the opportunities in front of him, and trusts him so much, there is no reason to back down.

"Then it's up to you."

After watching Wu Shihao take the two people away, Li An looked around the dock.

Seeing that it was still early to start work, he took a step and walked straight to the arbor.

Just take advantage of this moment to sort out the clues in my mind.

Now that the license plate for the newspaper stalls has been completed, of course the stalls must be erected as soon as possible.

Zhou Sheng helped him apply for a license for a fixed booth.

The license management fee is [-] Hong Kong dollars per year, which can be paid every year or every four months.

The management fee in this era is collected uniformly by the affiliated missions.

Of course, extra charges apply.

When Li An came to the pier, he took a special look at the location of the booth. It was not far from the entrance of the pier, and the location he occupied was very good.

Until the sun jumps out of the sea.

Sanjiangshui came to the pier calmly.

He walked into the arbor and sat down opposite Li An.

"I heard from Ah Sheng that you plan to set up a newspaper stall at the pier."

Brother Sheng?Li An was stunned for a moment and then reacted.

With so many stalls at the pier, everyone wants a good location.

I was still wondering how a newspaper stall could occupy such a good location at the entrance to the pier.

If Zhou Sheng had been to the pier, it would make sense.

After all, not only the management fee, but even the stalls are managed by the mission hall.

Li An restrained his thoughts, seeing San Jiangshui still looking at him, smiled lightly and said:

"Well, I plan to hand over the newspaper to Ah Xin. If the business is good, I will continue to open two more. Anyway, I don't have to work on my own, and it would be good to earn some extra money. Brother, don't you think so?"

"That's right." Sanjiang Shui nodded secretly.

"Senior brother, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, which is the brokerage business."

Li An told Sanjiang Shui his plans one by one.

Wait for him to finish speaking.

Sanjiang Shui couldn't help but joked:
"The soundness of your arrangements makes you feel inferior working at the dock. You might as well go into business."

Li An looked serious:

"Hey, senior brother. To be serious, this is your business after all. I will get some commission from it, so you have to show your attitude."

"You are my junior brother, I have no objection to you doing things."

Sanjiangshui spread his hands, then pondered for a moment:

"However, you left almost all of this matter to Wu Shihao? And let him contact his employer? Do you want to think about it?"

Ang Lee said:

"He is a smart man and should know very well that he will not be able to survive on the dock without us. Moreover, I also believe in him."

"Then I'm fine."

Seeing that his junior brother had considered this, Sanjiang Shui said no more.

He took the kettle on the table, poured a glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother?"

"Anything else?"

"I got the license, but the stall hasn't been set up yet."

"Bad money?"

Li An looked at his senior brother with a smile:

"That's not true, it's just that I have to look at the filings for the next two days, and I'll leave it to you to take stock of the goods."

"Get lost! Go and do your own business first." San Jiangshui cursed with a smile.

"Then thank you, brother."

Li Jianjun pretended to thank him.

Get up and leave quickly.

Sanjiang Shui laughed, took the account and walked towards the freighter approaching the dock.

Li An walked out of the pier and walked directly to the north and south adjacent to the pier.

The north-south trade is one of the oldest industries on Hong Kong Island, having existed as early as [-].

It was very active in the early days of the opening of the port, and it was also the earliest Chinese-funded entrepot trade industry.

Mainly engaged in goods in the north and south lines.

The southern line deals in local products, medicinal materials, and food from Southeast Asia.

The northern line is mainly engaged in the export of goods from the Mainland.

Of course, there are also many grocery stores among them.

Li An wanted to set up the stall, so the bicycles for buying goods were naturally indispensable.

this era.

There is no door-to-door delivery.

Whether it is a store or a newspaper stall, most of the goods are bought by the boss himself from the small factory.

Newspaper vendors go to the newspaper office at two or three o'clock in the morning every day to get the newspaper of the day.

Tabloids and magazines publish an issue every three or seven days.
