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

Chapter 48

Not far away, Sanjiangshui saw Ah Xin rushing to the pier, explained to the guy next to him, and walked over.

"Is something wrong?"

"Oh, it's nothing, but there are military uniforms coming to the dock to collect fees, I'll go over and have a look."

Ang Lee responded.

Then he handed over the bill in his hand.

"Brother, please keep an eye on things on the dock. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"no problem."

Sanjiang Shui nodded.

After receiving the bill, seeing that the two were about to leave, he reminded:
"If those military uniforms embarrass you, don't be angry, just mention Li Zhengtao's name."

Li An looked at him doubtfully: "Li Zhengtao?"

"It's the Sir Li who came to the pier yesterday. I mentioned your registration to him during dinner last night."

"Row."

Li An gave his senior brother a reassuring look.

When the two came to the newspaper stand, they saw two soldiers in military uniform standing in front of the wonton stall next to the newspaper stand.

One of the military uniforms was urging the busy stall owner impatiently.

"Hey, old man. You're wasting our time by dawdling like this."

"It's coming!"

The stall owner in his fifties quickly replied.

As soon as he put the wonton noodles in his hand on the table in front of the guest, he trotted over quickly.

"I'm sorry, Sir."

The stall owner laughed along, with obvious wrinkles on his face.

As he spoke, he took a two-dollar coin from the money box under the stall and put it in the hat stretched out by the military uniform.

With a touch of flattery:
"Thank you for your hard work, sirs. You have been busy all day. How about two bowls of wonton noodles to fill your stomach?"

The military uniform weighed the coins in the hat, and looked at his companions aside.

"Brother Yi?"

Seeing him shaking his head, he immediately said:
"Forget it, I'm still in a hurry to call it a day."

"Sir, walk slowly."

The stall owner waved and shouted at the two military uniforms who turned and left.

"New filing?"

When the two came to the filing booth, they immediately saw Li An standing in front of the filing booth.

"You are the boss?"

"Yes."

Li An nodded.

Just as the younger military uniform was about to speak, it was interrupted by the military uniform he called Brother Yi.

The man in military uniform, who looked to be in his thirties, looked carefully at the filing.

With a meaningful smile, he said:
"I remember that a few days ago, the position near the entrance of the pier should not be able to accommodate such a large booth. Wow, now that your newspaper booth occupies this place, all other stalls will be moved to the back."

He has been a sergeant for seven or eight years. Although he has not yet taken off his military uniform, he is still a veteran and has a sophisticated eye.

For this newspaper to occupy such a good position, it is obvious that there is someone there.

Even if they don't care about the errands, those who set up stalls can't easily agree.

You know, these stall owners usually dare to fight for a little bit of position, and they don't hesitate to use their knives.

It often gives them headaches as errands.

"Sir, what you said is ridiculous."

Li An took two bottles of soda and handed them to them.

"I'm really not sure about this matter. My brother helped me get the vendor's license. I'll just go about my business normally."

Brother Yi took the soda that Li An handed over, and passed another bottle to his companion.

Looking at the two of them, Li An seemed to think of something and said enthusiastically:

"By the way, my brother is also an errand, but he works as a plainclothes man in Kowloon. If you really want to talk about it, you are also colleagues and you are considered one of our own.

Oh, and Sir Li from the Sheung Wan Police Station. "

"Which Li sir?"

"Li Zhengtao." Li An opened his mouth as he picked up the tiger skin.

Although I don't like these military uniforms covered with leather.

Ang Lee has always felt that these military uniforms holding hats and collecting fees are like beggars.

A beggar who is clearly robbed!
But the reality is, a lot of times you have to deal with these people.

This has been the case since ancient times.

Even in his previous life, as a rural person, such things are not uncommon in certain villages and towns, but they have been restrained a lot and changed their names.

Of course, this kind of thing can't be delved into, anyone who knows understands it.

Hearing Li An mention Li Zhengtao, the two military uniforms looked at each other with warmer smiles on their faces.

They also belong to the mission station in Sheung Wan, and their military uniforms dare not offend plainclothes.

As for whether Ang Lee would bluff them.

The two of them would only need to go back to the mission station and inquire a little bit to find out.

"If you put it this way, you are really one of your own."

Brother Yi smiled politely and said:
"However, the rules are the rules, and the fees still have to be paid, but you can pay less."

Seemingly worried that Ang Lee would misunderstand, he added:

"If you make a lot of money filing, the fees will be higher than what these small stalls pay, not to mention that you also sell cigarettes and soda here."

"I understand the rules."

Li An nodded slightly and spoke at the right time:
"Sir, how much?"

"Five dollars."

After hearing the amount mentioned by the other party, Li An understood that it was indeed what the other party said, a lot less.

These military uniforms come to collect fees from time to time, not every day.

If you pay five yuan each time, it will be just over a hundred dollars a month.

You must know that Ah Xin was a newsboy before, and he had to pay about 60 yuan a month, not to mention his newspaper.

"Axin, give five dollars to Sir."

Li An shouted to Ah Xin in a low voice.

Then he took out two packs of cigarettes from the cigarette cabinet and handed them over.

"I will ask the two sirs to take care of the filing in the future."

"It's all little things."

Seeing that Li An didn't overwhelm him with force, Brother Yi took out a cigarette and agreed.

After taking the money and cigarettes, the two military uniforms stood in front of the newspaper stall and drank soda.

After Li An chatted with Yi Ge for a few words, he said:
"Sir, I'm going to open two more booths at Pier [-] and Pier [-]. Can you help me arrange the location of the stalls?"

"My brother is on duty in Kowloon. You know, it's not easy to come to Sheung Wan from Kowloon to cross the sea."

"As for Li sir, wow, yesterday I caught more than 30 bad boys who came to the pier to make trouble, and I will be busy in the next period of time."

"Don't worry, I know the rules, and I will pay you no less. Of course, there is also the matter of the license plate. If Sir has time, that would be even better."

Speaking of this, Li An leaned forward and whispered:

"The benefit fee for obtaining a fixed license is not cheap for the Department of Health. It's better to treat your own people to supper with this money. Sir, are you right?"

Li An was too embarrassed to keep bothering Zhou Sheng about fixing the license plate. After all, he really didn't have the money to take care of it before.

I planned to take time to apply for the license myself in the next two days.

Now he happened to encounter these two military uniforms, which gave him an idea.

Giving the benefits of obtaining licenses to these two military uniforms, not only does he not have to travel, but also allows the two military uniforms to accept his favor.

It serves multiple purposes.

After all, two registration licenses cost 600 yuan, and the benefits are considerable.

Brother Yi heard this, his eyes lit up:
"Of course it's all right."

After the two finished drinking the soda, Ah Xin stepped forward to take the empty bottle.

Brother Yi looked at Li An and said with a smile:
"How about, go take a look now and choose the location of the stall."

"Okay." Li An agreed.
