A group of people came running over, making quite a commotion. Xian Yaowu looked over, and Kan Meilin also looked over. After just one glance, she frowned and said, "Why are the people from Sun Yee On starting a fight here?"

"Do you know him?" Xian Yaowu asked.

"Kowloon Walled City is not that big. I can get to know everyone here after living here for a month. Besides, I'm staying in the hospital and I can see people from the society every day." Kan Meilin said as a matter of course.

Xian Yaowu looked at another group of people that appeared behind the group in front. They also had weapons in their hands and were clearly separated from the group in front, and it was obvious that they were not from the same group.

"Is the person behind me 14K?"

Kan Meilin took a look and said, "It seems so."

Kan Meilin's answer soon became meaningless. Xian Yaowu had already seen Xiao Tianlai in the crowd. He heard from his eldest brother that Xiao Tianlai was making a living in 14K and was a leader, but judging from his position, his status would not be too high.

After watching for a while, he turned back and asked, "Do 14K and Sun Yee On often have movies together?"

"Very few. I've only seen it once before, and there weren't so many people there. As long as you don't go to places where filth and corruption are hidden, the city is still quite safe, and the society won't disturb the people."

Xian Yaowu turned his head and looked to the west, as if thinking about something.

One night, Zhong Jie Ling told him that her eldest brother supported her sisters-in-law in setting up their own businesses outside. Her eldest brother should be making preparations for the division of the family property. The Xian family has a copy of the public account, and each family has its own copy. Their second family cannot just rely on the public account, and they have to set up their own business.

He took this to heart and thought that he couldn't just rely on his elder brother for everything. It was time to do something instead of just sitting there with hundreds of thousands of dollars in the account.

He thought for a long time about what to do. Based on his own conditions, he had hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings, could speak and write English fluently, was familiar with legal provisions, and had made some connections while handling cases.

However, knowing English is not very helpful in "doing something" and can only be used as an auxiliary, unless one opens a night school to teach English. He has already inquired about it, but night schools do not make much money.

Besides, in terms of being familiar with legal provisions, he can only be compared with ordinary people. Compared with those who work in the legal field, he is only at the level of a legal assistant and is not qualified to engage in law-related business.

As for his connections, they were secondary when he was making friends. Those who made friends with him were either doing so for Lawyer Chen's sake or for his eldest brother's sake. They were just casual acquaintances and could not play a big role.

After thinking about it for a few days, he realized that he was useless. Without his elder brother, he seemed to be unable to do anything on his own.

With this answer, he wanted to accomplish something with his own abilities. He thought and thought, from setting up stalls, opening restaurants and grocery stores, to opening businesses and factories. He was disappointed to find that he didn't understand any of the businesses, from small to large, and had no idea how to make money.

My eldest brother once said that one should not make profits from different trades. Thieves have their own ways, bandits have their own paths, and every trade has its own tricks. Before entering a new trade, first find out the successful people in that trade, compare yourself with them, list out what you lack, and ask yourself if you can make up for it.

If you can, wait until you make up for it and then work on it slowly. If you can’t, don’t be jealous and find another job that you can do.

If you think that successful people are far worse than you and attribute their success to luck, then you don't know how to observe and don't know yourself. Eating free meals at home and working less is your greatest contribution to the Xian family.

Know before you act, don't do it if you don't understand. After thinking it over, the most reliable thing he could think of was to buy houses and land, rent out the houses and collect rent, and hoard the land and resell it when it appreciates in value.

But this is still the wisdom of the eldest brother. He heard his eldest brother say at the dinner table at home that the prospect of the Hong Kong property market is relatively optimistic. Most of the time, demand will exceed supply, and investing in the property market is a relatively easy way to make money.

Big brother's wisdom is just big brother's wisdom. Big brother is too powerful. It is too difficult to come up with ways that big brother doesn't know, such as buying houses and land, but you need to consider carefully where to buy them. My family is buying, and big brother's women are also buying. We can't compete with each other.

He was optimistic about the Kowloon Walled City that his family avoided. Building a building here did not require approval, the land price was also cheap, and once the restrictions on building heights were slightly relaxed, more buildings could be added, and it was possible for one building to have 70 or 80 units.

According to the current situation in Hong Kong, the number of residents in the lawless area of ​​Kowloon Walled City will only increase, and there will be no shortage of rental opportunities.

"But why would Big Brother avoid it? He would rather lend money to others to build a building, but he himself would not get involved. Shouldn't he not see the potential of this place?"

"Show off your strength, show off your strength."

"Ok?"

Xian Yaowu woke up and subconsciously looked down at his palm, only to see Kan Meilin's soft hand covering the back of his hand.

Kan Meilin asked with concern: "What are you thinking about?"

Xian Yaowu pulled out his covered hand and held Kan Meilin's hand instead, chuckling softly, "I plan to buy land and build a building in the city, and I'm thinking about how to do it."

Kan Meilin was surprised and asked, "Build a building here? For renting?"

"what do you think?"

Kan Meilin shook her head and said, "I only know how to treat illnesses, but I don't know how to do business."

According to Zhang Ailing's theory of love, Xian Yaowu had already entered Kan Meilin's heart and had some understanding of her character. Although Kan Meilin seemed to have studied in England and was a new woman of the times, she was actually very traditional at heart. She even followed the principle of "a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent". She liked to hide her shortcomings and was unwilling to appear too smart in front of men.

There is already a strong Zhong Jie Ling in the family, who thinks she is better than him in everything. Private interactions are centered around her, and she treats him as a younger brother, and sometimes even as a son.

At first he felt a great sense of accomplishment in conquering a woman who was stronger than him, but when they started living together, he realized that living with such a woman was too tiring. Fortunately, she was pregnant, and fortunately he still had Zhilan...

Forget about Zhilan. The well-behaved and obedient shoemaker is gone forever. She is no longer his concubine, but eldest brother's lackey. She always calls him "uncle" and follows his lead. She holds the secret treasury in her hand and is busy with business every day. She has to find time out of her busy schedule to sleep with him.

The eldest brother didn't intend to give him a concubine in the first place. He clearly wanted him to sell his body and win the hearts of his men.

A strong eldest lady, a new woman who has awakened herself, has no interest at home. Meilin is still good and will take care of his emotions. Meilin still doesn't bring him home because the atmosphere at home is not good. She stops contacting her eldest brother and has also awakened.

The eldest brother is sick. Although he looks down on Su Lizhen's status as a second marriage, Su Lizhen was so good back then. She dressed up, played cards, and stayed around the eldest brother every day, like a canary in a cage. However, the eldest brother didn't want a canary and trained this woman to be a businesswoman.

Looking at the others, the eldest sister-in-law went to the United States to be independent, and Cai Jinman, who couldn't understand what the eldest brother liked, went to a restaurant to learn how to be a waiter. Maybe she will take over the job from the eldest sister-in-law and manage the family catering business in the future.

Fei Baoshu...

I don’t know whether the eldest brother lacked maternal love or was attracted by her two daughters. He found someone of similar age who was not a canary and trained both the big and the small to do things.

Let’s take Liu Wanqing, this woman has a burden with her. The eldest brother probably had impure motives towards her from the beginning. He took her in for business. And he didn’t kick her out later. She must be quite capable.

Zhou Ruoyun, the eldest brother may not like this eldest lady, the marriage may be purely for the sake of the Xian family. This is the same as the others, the eldest brother also wants to train her to be a businessman.

Narcissus, the eldest brother has probably already accepted it. As for this, he doesn’t know what to say. The eldest brother is so cruel to him.

There should be only these few people that Big Brother has given status to, and maybe with the one in Tokyo, Big Brother probably feels that the women he has trained are boring, so he has so many fleeting relationships outside, right?
He thought of the red-haired girl who came to the wedding on the day of the wedding. There was something wrong in the way she looked at his elder brother. There must be something going on between the two of them. And there was the woman who wrote articles, her name was Eileen Chang, I think. There was something wrong in the way his elder brother looked at her. He hadn't slept at home for several days during the first month of the year, so it was impossible that he had been at Liu Wanqing's place all the time. He must have been at Eileen Chang's place.

And the actresses from Friendship Pictures that my elder brother had told him about...

There are too many. Big brother plays wherever he goes. It’s just for fun. It should be to make up for what he can’t get from the women at home.

In this regard, he could not learn from his elder brother. He was not as good as his elder brother in hooking up with women, nor was he as energetic as his elder brother. It also took brains to hook up with women, and he did not want to be too tired. If he met someone he liked, he would rather not bring her back to cause trouble for his elder brother.

Meilin is fine now, so let her pretend if she wants.

"I don't really understand. Before I build the building, I plan to investigate the Walled City for a while. Meilin, do you know what business is the best in the Walled City?"

"Gambling dens, adultery dens, chicken dens, and our hospital."

"What else?"

"Hmm..." Kan Meilin thought for a moment and said, "A factory that makes fish balls and roast meat. I heard that most of the fish balls sold outside are sourced from the Walled City, and the roast meat in restaurants is similar."

If Xian Yaowen were here, he would give Kan Meilin a thumbs up. Roast meat, needless to say, is available in almost every tea restaurant and street stall selling rice dishes. However, most of them do not make their own roast meat, but get it from Kowloon Walled City. Even if they run a low-cost business, the profit will not be bad.

Not to mention fish balls, a cheap, shoddy substitute for Teochew fish balls, a classic case of bad money driving out good. Curry fish balls have become a hit on the streets, with over 30 balls consumed every day, and are on a good track, with a good chance of hitting 375 million balls (the highest daily sales volume for which statistics are available).

Xian Yaowen has even done an investigation and found out that the profit of fish balls in the factory is around 3.2 cents, which is a huge profit. There is still a lot of room for decline. Even if the profit falls below cents after a few rounds of internal circulation, it is still very considerable.

"Is it the fish balls sold on the street?" Xian Yaowu seemed to have discovered a new world. "Is it very profitable?"

"I don't know whether it makes money or not, I just know that many people in the walled city make fish balls in the fish ball factory. A patient who made fish balls once told me that people with quick hands can get about three dollars a day."

"It's quite a lot, more than when I first arrived at the law firm." Xian Yaowen said thoughtfully: "Take me to the fish ball factory in the evening, I want to see how fish balls are made."

Kan Meilin frowned and said, "Okay."

"Why are you frowning? Don't you want to go?"

"The fish ball factory is fishy and smelly, and there's water all over the floor. I usually don't go there."

"Then don't go. I'll go by myself."

……

"Asked."

"died?"

"Both of them are dead."

"where?"

"Deep in the sweet gum forest at Hongmao Bridge."

"understood."

Xian Yaowen hung up the phone and began to think about how to notify She Agui's family.

After his last intimidation, judging by She Agui's personality, he has most likely asked his wife and children to move away. It is also unknown which mailbox She Agui usually asks them to send their letters to. It is unlikely to be She Garden or Sanqi 21 Hall, so it is probably a house unknown to outsiders.

While thinking about this, Xian Yaowen called the gardener Lao Hong to his side and asked him to go to the charity cemetery in Shuo'e Lane to ask someone to bury She Agui and the other man.

Changi Beach.

Chen Haiming, nicknamed "Mr. Big", stood on the beach, waiting to meet someone.

There is a secret society in Singapore called 108, a small faction split from the larger faction 08. It is slightly stronger than 3721 and is mainly active in Little India. It used to be mainly engaged in opium business and supplemented by brothel business. After opium was banned, brothel business became the main source of income and controlled most of the low- and medium-end brothels in Little India.

Chen Haiming is the leader of Group 108. His nickname before "Mr. Big" was "Hainanzi", which seems a bit derogatory at first glance.

But you have to know that nearly half of the members of secret societies in Singapore are first- or second-generation immigrants from Hainan. These people can be called Hainanese. A very broad nickname is solemnly given to one person. It is conceivable that this person must have something extraordinary. (End of this chapter)
