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

Chapter 49
"You collect the vendor's fee first, and I'll come to you after I'm done."

"Okay."

The younger military uniform nodded upon hearing this, turned around and left alone.

"Then let's go check out the location."

Brother Yi signaled Li An to follow.

The two of them walked along the road beside the pier, chatting for a while.

"What is the boss's name?"

"Boss or not, just call me Li An. How do you call me, brother?"

"My surname is He, He Yi."

"Oh, Brother Yi."

"Then I'll let you know, where is Anzi from?"

"My hometown is Bao'an County, Hexi Village. I came to Hong Kong with my parents for 50 years."

"Hexi Village? My hometown is Tianliao Village. A fellow villager!"

He Yi's tone immediately became much more intimate.

"It's still a neighboring village, so it's a good relationship."

Li An had a smile on his face.

Tongxiang is a vague concept that seems to be clear but cannot be defined seriously. It is called "big fellow townsman" and "little fellow countryman". It completely depends on the identity of both parties' geographical origin and dialect.

As small as a township or as large as a province, we can all be called fellow villagers.

Of course, the larger the place, the more blurred it is.

For example, in Southeast Asian countries, even people from the same province or neighboring provinces can affectionately call each other "fellow townspeople" when they meet.

But on Hong Kong Island, since most of the citizens are new immigrants from coastal areas, the divisions are relatively fine.

The default fellow townships are divided by townships and counties.

Nowadays, the Dongguan Gang and the Chaozhou Gang, who belong to the same province, are fighting fiercely.

After walking for about ten minutes, He Yi stopped.

He pointed to the location near the entrance of the pier:
"How do you see it here?"

The location He Yi mentioned was less than one meter wide, and it would be difficult to even set up a small stall, let alone a fixed newsstand.

"Of course, that's all."

Li An looked at the roadside that was almost crowded with vendors, hesitant to speak.

As soon as He Yi heard this, he knew what Li An meant and smiled confidently:
"As long as you are satisfied. It's okay. The location is small and it doesn't fit the stalls. Just move the other stalls to the side and the space will be free."

He Yi came to the stall near the entrance.

When the busy stall owner saw him, he smiled and said:
"Sir, it's been a hard day of walking, let me have a bowl of porridge to relieve my fatigue."

As he said that, he took the bowl and prepared to make raw porridge.

He Yi interrupted with a straight face:
"No, I'm not hungry. Your stall is too wide and too close to the pier. It has taken up all the original stalls here. Move to the side and squeeze in."

The stall owner paused and said nothing else.

In the past, he was able to occupy this position only because of the benefits he paid for the military uniform in front of him.

Now the other party asked him to move aside, which meant it was self-evident.

So he just asked in a low voice:

"How wide is it?"

He Yi thought about Li An's registration at Pier [-] and said:
"Just leave it two meters wide. Also, I'm in a hurry. I'll leave the other stall owners to you."

"no problem."

The stall owner responded quickly.

He ran to a few stalls nearby, pointed at He Yi standing in front of his stall, and whispered to the other stall owners.

It didn't take long for these stall owners on the side of the road to consciously move their stalls to the right.
Soon, a gap more than two meters wide was left on the spot.

The efficiency is so high that Ang Li has to sigh with emotion.

The county magistrates are better off now.

Even if Zhou Shenglai was asked to help, it probably wouldn't be able to do it so quickly.

Therefore, sometimes it is very useful to make friends with some low-level military uniforms.

He Yi nodded in satisfaction, and greeted Li An.

"Anzi, let's go, let's go to Pier [-]."

After half an hour.

Without much effort, He Yi used the same method to secure the booth at Pier [-].

"Thank you, Brother Yi, for the stall."

Li An's words are not polite.

If Li An were to manage the stalls by himself, let alone whether he could occupy such a good position, sometimes he would inevitably have quarrels with the vendors setting up stalls.

When Li An was setting up a stall in his previous life, he saw many stall owners fighting over the location of their stalls, and there were quite a few stall owners who resorted to manual knives, let alone in this era.

"It's just a little effort. There's no need to be so polite about a trivial matter. Besides, we are fellow villagers, so we should help each other."

He Yi waved his hands again and again.

Seeing that Li An was satisfied, he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"You can set up these two stalls and open them first. I will send you the licenses after I get them."

The tone is more intimate.

In fact, for the young man in front of him, he may have been purely for the benefit.

But Li An is from the same hometown, so that's different.

Being so dedicated to helping, there is also a desire to make friends.

Thinking that Li An still knows Li sir from the mission station, and has a brother who is on duty in Kowloon.

If what the other party said was true, and he could establish a good relationship with the other party under the friendship of fellow villagers, he might be able to take off the military uniform he had worn for almost eight years and replace it with one holding a gun.

After the matter was done, the two chatted for a few words, and He Yi turned around and left.

By the time Li An arrived at Pier 04, the sun was setting and it was already 30:[-] in the afternoon.

As soon as Sanjiangshui saw him, he hurriedly came up to greet him:
"Hey, that's what you said to come and go. For almost two hours, I thought you had a conflict with those military uniforms that charge fees. If you don't come again, I'm going to report to you."

Li An apologized and said:
"I'm sorry, senior brother. I had a little chat with those two military uniforms and asked them to help me with the stall, so I wasted a little time."

"What stall?"

"The stall business is going well. I'm going to open two more stalls, at Pier [-] and Pier [-]. Now that the locations have been secured, I just need to recruit some waiters before we can open."

Seeing that San Jiangshui was puzzled, Li An briefly explained his plan to him.

He mentioned the matter between him and the two military uniforms again.

Finally said:

"Senior brother, two registrations have opened in succession. I'm a bit busy in the next few days, and I may not be able to help at the pier. During this time, you have to keep an eye on it."

Li An was a little embarrassed to say this.

"Okay." Sanjiang Shui waved his hand nonchalantly: "You don't have to worry about the dock. I'll let Ajie take care of the inventory."

He patted Li An on the shoulder.

"From now on, you will concentrate on filing business. Just look at Wu Shihao's side if you have time."

"it is good."

There were filings, brokerage business, and inventory of goods at the dock. These miscellaneous and trivial matters left Li An with no time to spare.

Now that Sanjiangshui brought it up, he naturally agreed.

Without having to worry about the dock, he can save a lot of time and carefully plan the next thing.
