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

Chapter 80 Muay Thai master, violent?

It is true that shopping malls are like battlefields.

Competing maliciously or using power to suppress competitors are commonplace in the business world.

The reason why Li An did not agree to He Yi's suggestion was because doing business is also a human being!
If you want to grow your business, you must understand business. This is a must.

But if you want to do business for a long time, you must know how to be a good person!

Conscience is lost and morals are corrupted.

For these ordinary stall owners who rely on newspaper stalls to finance their homes and support their families, asking He Yi to use means to force the other party to leave and then take over the other party's stall is something Li An really can't do.

As he just said, such a large north-south line can accommodate several newspaper stalls more than enough.

There is no need to interrupt the livelihood of these small traders.

And to be honest, Li An's opening of these newspaper stalls is just a stepping stone for him to start retailing.

After all, with the development of the times, newspaper stalls will gradually be eliminated by part-time newspapers selling in convenience stores and free newspapers.

If Ang Lee had intervened in advance, this process would likely have been greatly shortened.

These days, whether it is a store or a newspaper stall, the boss himself goes to the small factory to get all the goods.

The means of transportation are also rickshaws or bicycles.

According to normal development, the distribution and logistics of retail goods and the franchise industry will have to wait until at least 1970 for capital to begin to intervene in the retail market.

Of course, Ang Lee will not get involved in convenience stores prematurely at this stage.

Convenience stores need to consider the issue of store space and stocking of various daily commodities.

The cost of opening a convenience store is more than enough to open four or five newspaper stalls.

And seriously speaking, in addition to daily necessities, you can also sell cigarettes, water, stationery and newspapers with high profits. If you add newspapers, the profit will not be much smaller.

At the very least, you have to let your newspaper become a large scale, and then get involved in convenience stores, and combine the two.You can slowly use this as capital to gradually kidnap those small factories.

Then each district will establish a transit warehouse, and those factories will deliver the goods uniformly, and then the goods will be distributed uniformly by themselves.

Then get involved in the retail distribution and logistics of the entire Hong Kong Island.

At that time, these scattered newspapers or stores will also be his early potential customers.

As for when the market is opened, when those rich people enter the market, will they be picked for peaches or used as wedding clothes for others?
It’s a new life, with foresight as a reference, and a life of cheating.

In this way, if you have to look forward and backward in everything you do, what's the meaning of life?
It's better to just keep a few newspaper stalls and businesses on the dock to make money to buy a house and live the life of a charterer in advance.

Besides, it’s only 1960, and there are still more than thirty years left before the return.

During this period, as long as Ang Lee keeps his heart, he can do something extraordinary.

Just talk about right and wrong, not rules!
Sometimes, force can also solve many problems.

And it’s crisper and neater too!
Li An looked away from the newspaper file.

Turning around, He Yi, who was smoking a cigarette next to him, was unconsciously glancing at the girl among the pedestrians.

"Don't look, let's go to the intersection adjacent to Wellington Street first."

Li An patted He Yi on the shoulder, said hello, and walked forward.

He Yi could only look away reluctantly, put down the cigarette butt and followed.

After walking for about ten minutes, there is a T-intersection not far ahead, which is also the connection point between Wellington Street and Bonham East Street.

Although the relatively spacious intersection is slightly inferior to the streets of Bonham East Street, it is still very lively with people coming and going.

Li An took He Yi to the intersection.

At a glance, in addition to the shops on both sides of Bonham East Street, heading towards Wellington Street, the roadside is full of stalls.

Many diners gathered in front of the stall and it was noisy!
Li An looked at it for a while and said to He Yi:
"Going towards Wellington Street, there are mobile vendors, and on the right are shops running north and south. The newspaper stalls do not need a shop and do not occupy a large space. The corner of this T-intersection is just right.

Whether they are customers traveling north or south, or citizens coming from Wellington Street, they will all pass by here. "

He Yi glanced at Li An's words, then looked back and shook his head.

"Hey, I don't understand what you're talking about. Just make your own decision. As for me, I'm only responsible for helping you apply for a fixed vendor license according to the location you selected."

Li An observed for a while, thought a little, and stepped on the cement paved road with his feet.

"That's it."

At the same time, in a Muay Thai gym on Ferry Street in Yau Ma Tei.

Yu Jiujiang sat across from a middle-aged man wearing a double-breasted shirt.

“Teacher, the exhibition match of the Muay Thai performance troupe you led in Wan Chai caught the attention of many people and made the citizens aware of Muay Thai for the first time.

Even in my deserted boxing gym, there have been many more students coming to learn boxing in the past two days. "

Yu Jiujiang is 36 years old this year, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he said this, he could not hide the joy in his expression.

The middle-aged man opposite noticed the wording in his words.

"The boxing gym is deserted? Not many people come to learn Muay Thai?"

“Well, after all, there are only two Muay Thai gyms in Hong Kong, and there are many young people who are willing to learn boxing who have never heard of Muay Thai.

For them, Muay Thai is a little-known boxing style.They are more willing to learn the famous Wing Chun and Hong Quan."

There was a hint of smile in the middle-aged voice:

"It takes time to accept a new fighting technique. First you have to let them understand Muay Thai. This is why I led the performance group here."

"I understand, teacher." Yu Jiujiang nodded.

"Now that the exhibition match is over, we will stay here for a few more days. This is also an opportunity for the boxers from the exhibition group to communicate more with the martial arts masters here."

The middle-aged man paused and continued:

"In addition to visiting your boxing gym this time, I am also planning to find out about some famous martial arts gyms from you."

Yu Jiujiang frowned slightly.

The middle-aged man's words made him somewhat unexpected.

It is said to be an exchange, but for those martial arts schools who are approached, it is just a kick-off.

He is naturally happy to see the success of his gym building a reputation and letting more people know about Muay Thai, which will allow his gym to recruit more students.

Moreover, Yu Jiujiang has never doubted the strength of his teacher. No one may know the name Naifeng in Hong Kong, but in the hearts of Thai boxing fans, it is a god-like existence.

Just because the opponent has gone through more than 25 battles in his 300-year ring career, and has never been knocked down by his opponent once.

What he needs to consider is whether he can withstand the revenge and suppression from the martial arts world after his teacher leaves.

After all, to the martial arts world, Naifeng is an outsider and a Thai guy.This will create common hatred among the martial arts community.

His disciple didn't say anything, and the middle-aged man didn't urge him. He just picked up the teacup on the table, drank tea and waited for the other party's response.

After a while, Yu Jiujiang weighed the gains and losses in his mind and finally said:
"Teacher, most martial arts schools in Hong Kong are concentrated in Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok. Among them, the famous ones include Wing Chun and Five Fist Thirteen.

If it's for discussion and exchange, there are many well-known martial arts schools in Zhongfang Street nearby. "

"Well, then you can take some of your senior brothers over to have a chat later."

The middle-aged man put down his tea cup, his tone not allowing for rejection.

After finishing the matter, Li An and He Yi walked back from Bonham West Street.

Although I inspected it in advance last time, I had a rough idea in mind.But it still took Li An nearly an afternoon to finalize the location.

A total of three stalls were found, one more than expected.

Previously, I chose two companies because I didn't have enough money.

But now, there is still more than 1 yuan left in the windfall from the Hu Hua Mahjong Museum. With a good location, Li An has no reason to miss it.

The three newspaper stalls are located near Wellington Street, Tak Pu Road West and Wing Lok Street respectively.It is just at the connection point between these three streets and the east and west streets of Wenxian running north and south.

He Yi lit a cigarette and said to Li An beside him:

"The embassy will be a little busy during this period. I will try my best to find time to help you apply for the license." "Okay." Li An nodded to express understanding.

“Of course, before the license is issued, you can set up the business first.

This is Sheung Wan. The management fees and regulations for street vendors are collected by our police station. Even if you don't have a license, it won't affect your business.

If someone from the Health Department or Fire Department comes to cause trouble, just talk to me. "

He Yi made a sure decision.

After all, these days, the police department has more power than other law enforcement agencies, so the voice is naturally much louder.

Of course, the main reason is that now he has been promoted to plainclothes, which gives He Yi more confidence.

"Thank you so much, Brother Yi. I've been wandering around all afternoon, and it's almost time for dinner. Now that we're done, let's find a place to have something to eat."

After saying this, Li An suddenly remembered Shao Yu.

"I almost forgot, Shao Yu is patrolling Bonham East Street, so call him and join us."

"Okay." He Yi nodded happily.

The two returned to Bonham East Street and walked around before encountering a patrolling military uniform.

He Yi waved to the military uniform.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

"Where's Shao Yu?"

"I'll call him over." The military uniform trotted away.

When Shao Yu followed the military uniform, the three of them left for the north-south route and randomly found a restaurant nearby.

Full of wine and food.

Li An rejected He Yi's proposal to go out to relax and left alone.

He raised his head and glanced at the sky. The setting sun had set low, and the dim sunlight shone on his face.

At this time, the dock and stalls were almost finished, so Li An did not go to the Triangle Pier, but went directly to the Ferry Pier.

Come to the ferry terminal, buy a ticket and board the boat in turn.

As the ferry left the port, Li An, who was sitting on the boat, glanced at the sea in the distance and pondered in his heart.

Now that Hu Hua's matter has been resolved, there is no movement in Lian Gong Le, and things on the dock are in order.

After having some free time, Li An naturally wants to return to his own rhythm.

While practicing boxing, you can compete with martial arts masters to improve your strength.

For him at this stage, fists are still his foundation.

Can't relax.

Thinking of this, Li An thought for a moment.

Ripples appeared in front of his eyes, and lines of small words appeared.

Name: Ang Lee

Skills: Bagua Zhang (2% mastery), Mojia Quan (1% mastery), Bajiquan (12% mastery).
Specialization: Fighting Specialization 30% (+14%)

Culinary Expertise 2%
Essence: none
Skill points: 8 points

Ferry pier in Ferry Street.

After getting off the boat, Li An did not stop and walked straight out of the pier to Zhongfang Street.

Putting aside the martial arts schools he has competed in during this period, the only famous martial arts gym on Zhongfang Street is now the White Eyebrow Boxing Gym, and the rest are some small martial arts schools with little reputation.

Baimei Quan originated in the late Ming Dynasty and was popular in Sichuan and Guangdong. It was later introduced to Hong Kong and Macao via Foshan.

There are many students in the White Eyebrow Boxing Martial Arts School on Zhongfang Street. The owner of the school, Liu Yansheng, is very strong and fierce with his White Eyebrow Boxing.Not to mention Zhongfang Street, he is quite famous among the many martial arts masters in Yau Ma Tei.

However, when Li An excitedly arrived at the Baimei Quan martial arts gym located at No. 125 Zhongfang Street, he saw that the entrance of the martial arts gym was already surrounded by citizens.

Is this someone kicking the gym?

Li An stepped forward curiously.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the martial arts hall, the onlookers suddenly dispersed.

Li An looked up and saw four people walking out of the martial arts gym.

Except for the man in a short shirt, the other three were all dark-skinned, wearing headbands and red coats with cipher text printed on them.

The person in the middle had a cracked mouth corner and conspicuous bruises at the corner of his eye.

With such a conspicuous dress, Li An recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

Muay Thai boxer.

In Thai history and culture, a warrior needs to wear four auspicious treasures at the same time.

The "Mongkong" worn on the head, the "gold-wrapped" fastening the pants, the "Bajie" on the arms, and the red coat with Theravada Buddhist secret texts.

The "Mengkong" and "Bajie", which are rich in oriental ethnic style, are the two most identifiable auspicious treasures of Muay Thai.

"Is this Muay Thai? The newspapers boasted about it, but it wasn't like I was defeated by Master Liu Yansheng."

A man in beach shorts pointed at the four people leaving and said loudly.

"You didn't know this, but they had already visited several martial arts schools before challenging Master Liu."

"And didn't you see that Master Liu was also injured? Let me tell you, the two who didn't take action were more powerful.

Master Hu from the Minghe Boxing Martial Arts School knows that he was kicked in the head by them and sent to the hospital. "

"real or fake?"

The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, and Li An, who was crowded in the crowd, listened for a while and then turned and left.

I originally thought that if someone kicked out the Baimei Quan martial arts gym, I would switch to another one.

But now I heard from these citizens that there are still many martial arts schools in Zhongfang Street that have been kicked out, and it would not be appropriate for me to go there again.

Li An frowned slightly, not because he was worried that these martial arts masters would lose badly.

There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the martial arts world, and these Muay Thai masters may not necessarily get anything good.

The main reason is that if they quit the gym like this, Li An will not be able to compete with the martial arts masters in Zhongfang Street until the matter subsides.

Back at the barber shop on Nanjing Street, Li An pushed open the door and entered.

"Master!"

Hearing the shout, Yi Xiantian, who was lying on a chair listening to music, opened his eyes, glanced at Li An who came in, and said hum.

Seeing that there were no customers in the store, Li An turned around and prepared to go to the rooftop.

"Master, I'm going up to practice boxing."

"Don't rush while practicing boxing." Xianxiantian sat up and called out to Li An.

"Last night your uncle brought three fellow villagers and came to look for you twice."

"Fellow countryman?" Li An was a little confused.

"Then I'll go and have a look."

"Anzai, the three fellow villagers who came here with your uncle are a bit violent."

When Li An walked to the door, Xiantiantian reminded him.

"Understood, Master."

Li An was stunned for a moment, then walked out of the door and walked to the restaurant.
