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

Chapter 62 Do you need to use your brain?
Sheung Wan, at the end of Bonham East Street, just at the end of the north-south line.

The transportation is convenient, the population is dense, and the tea houses, restaurants, mahjong halls, and dance halls are overwhelming.

Fat Bo's eyes glanced at the shops on both sides, and led the two boys, walking straight forward without stopping.

After a while, he finally stopped.

Glancing at the signboard of Huaji Mahjong Hall on the door, Fat Bo pushed the door open.

Because it is close to the north-south line, there are many small business owners. Even though it is only noon, the more than ten mahjong tables in the mahjong pavilion are still full of people.

Under the incandescent light, the hall was filled with smoke, and the sound of mahjong collisions could be heard constantly. From time to time, whispers of curses could be heard on the card table. Some people were beaming while others were gnashing their teeth.

"Bogo."

A Ma Zai, who was watching the mahjong house, saw Fei Bo Lao and his party, and hurried up to meet them.

"Oh, where's Brother Hua?" Fat Bo nodded, looked around, and asked the horse boy in front of him.

"Upstairs." Ma Zai nodded toward the narrow wooden stairs on the right.

"I'll go up and find Brother Hua first."

Fat Bobo will let you know.

He turned his head and glanced at the two boys following him: "I'll go up alone, and you guys will wait here."

Fat Bo walked up the narrow wooden ladder alone.

As soon as they reached the corner of the stairs, the men and women's low-pitched laughter faintly came to their ears.

Fat Bobo came upstairs as usual.At a glance, he could see Hei Xinhua sitting on the single sofa and the woman kneeling on the ground working hard.

He was not surprised, neither shy away nor made a sound, just waited quietly.

After waiting for a while, Hei Xinhua, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, suddenly shivered.

He took a deep breath, opened his eyes and glanced at the fat guy standing at the stairs.

Then he lowered his head and said to the woman:
"You go down first."

The woman didn't speak, she just pulled the colorful sling that had fallen to her arms back to her shoulders, covering her chest, and then stood up.

Then, she wiped the corners of her mouth as if nothing had happened, and walked towards the stairs with a clacking sound, before going down the stairs, she gave the fat bob next to her a wink.

Hei Xinhua stood up, put on his pants, went to the side table and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Fat Bo then stepped forward and put a cowhide envelope on the table.

"Brother Hua, this is the money on the dock last month."

Hei Xinhua opened the envelope, glanced at the thick stack of Hong Kong dollars inside, and nodded in satisfaction.

"There will be two ships arriving at the pier in the early morning. Keep an eye on them. As soon as the ships arrive, let those people and snakes leave as soon as possible. Don't let the patrolling military uniforms on the pier see it. There will be troubles."

"I know it well, Brother Hua." The fat man nodded, and then said: "Also, I have warned Wu Shihao according to your instructions and told them not to go to Pier [-] again."

Hei Xinhua knocked on the table: "Did San Jiangshui come forward?"

"That's not true. They didn't come to Pier No. [-] after Wu Shihao left on the street."

Fat Bo shook his head, was silent for a while, and then said:
"Brother Hua, since the Three Rivers has lost face to our Lian Gong Le, let's just show the horses and chariots!
Just not allowing Wu Shihao and the others to come to Pier [-] to do business, will people laugh at us for being courageous! "

"Show the horses and chariots?" Hei Xinhua said in a hey voice, "Go!"

"Brother Hua, if you give me 100 people, I'll have no problem feeding the fish in Sanjiang water."

Fat Bo took the words with a ferocious tone.

"100 people? I'm afraid that you will be thrown into the sea as soon as you go to Pier No. [-]. Do you really think the group of coolies under the Sanjiang sailors are just a display?"

Hei Xinhua glanced at the fat guy and said in a nonchalant manner:
"Also, you need to use your brains to do things! Wouldn't it be better for people to laugh at us for being courageous, so that he can relax his vigilance."

"Relax your vigilance?" Fat Bo was taken aback.

"Okay." Hei Xinhua waved his hand and said:
"Don't ask so many questions, you go back to the pier and just do your own thing."

In the afternoon, the sun sets.When work was about to end, Wu Shihao brought five young people to report.

"A'an, I brought you the man you wanted."

"Have you told them what you did in the filing?" Li An asked casually.

"I said it when I recruited people." Wu Shihao responded.

"Well."

Li An nodded, then looked at the five people in front of him, and said straight to the point:
"The monthly salary is sixty, and you can take two days off. If there's no problem, you can stay."

"No problem boss."

The five people nodded one after another. Li An, the boss, paid a high salary, so they naturally wouldn't have any objections.

"It's getting late, you go back first, and come over early tomorrow morning to start work."

Li An said with a smile.

The existing six guys at the dock are enough for the time being, and the five newly recruited guys are training in advance.

Li An planned to wait for the dock filings to stabilize, and open two filings in the north-south line while the iron is hot.

After being busy for nearly a day, he just went to check on the sales of the newly opened newspaper today.

As expected, business is okay.

Li An roughly estimated that the profit of opening two new filings today is around [-] to [-] yuan.

Calculated in this way, plus the profit of nearly 150 yuan per day for the filing of the No. 800 pier, three filings for seven days can earn about [-] yuan.

It can be used as the start-up capital for the two filings of the north and south trips!

And after seven days passed, these newly recruited guys were also proficient in the filing work, which happened to come in handy.

See the newly recruited guys leave.

Li An took two bottles of soda, walked out of the newspaper with Wu Shihao, and talked about business on the sidelines.

"After work is over, go and contact your fellow villagers."

"You can pay attention to those fellow villagers among them who are not afraid of trouble and dare to fight.

When the wharf starts construction, you can arrange for them to do relatively easy and high-paying tasks such as stocktaking and stocktaking. "

"I see."

Wu Shihao roughly understood what Li An meant as soon as he heard it, and nodded in response.

There are so many docks, and it is common for the foremen to fight for the goods.

If there is a real trouble, only these fellow villagers who dare to fight and fight will come forward, so that the remaining workers will not be scattered.

Li An also smiled and patted Wu Shihao on the shoulder.

Looking down at the busy dock not far away and the large freighters docked, he said softly:

“Although there are a lot of opportunities to make money these days, it’s also a mixed bag and there’s grass everywhere!”

"You are doing serious business, no one has no background, and you will also be suppressed everywhere."

"Fist is the last word! To be honest with you, even if there is no such thing as Lian Gongle, I am still prepared to wait for the brokerage business to stabilize and find an opportunity to intervene in the matter on the dock."

"If you have jobs and money to earn, people will naturally come to work with you."

"So, it doesn't matter how much you earn at the dock, you have to let the people who follow you make money. Remember, the most important thing is to win people's hearts!"

Li An did not shy away from saying this.

Wu Shihao just listened quietly.
