The Red Era: Starting from a Truck Driver

Chapter 216 The two left

In the BF unit, Jiang Cheng exchanged many watches.

Jiang Cheng didn't know much about watches. He was just a Didi driver in his later life. In his mind, there was no need for a watch when you could check the time on your phone. He thought it was troublesome to bring a watch to him, let alone spend money to buy one.

So Jiang Cheng didn't know how much Rolex and Omega watches were worth, and the same was true for Captain Zhang. In Captain Zhang's eyes, a good watch in China only costs a little over 100 yuan, and a foreign watch should be more expensive, but not that much.

It didn't matter that Captain Zhang didn't know the price, he thought it was OK as long as the person wasn't stupid. If Jiang Cheng liked something, it meant that the item should be valuable, and he would give as little as possible.

As for the watch, Jiang Cheng had long heard of the brand "Rolex". In the Hong Kong film, the gangster Shan Ji went to live with his cousin and sold his Rolex in a pawn shop before going to Taiwan.

As for Omega, I have never heard of this name.

So according to the price, Jiang Cheng wanted to exchange eggs and pork for four Rolexes, which turned out to be the price of domestic watches.

But Captain Zhang was too smart and gave him two of each watch. After receiving the watch, Jiang Cheng could only hope that the Rolex would be better.
After getting the things, Jiang Cheng ate a bowl of egg noodles and two palm-sized sea fish in the army. He also told Captain Zhang that the car would be left in the army for two or three days and he would go to other places to discuss "business". But he told Captain Zhang not to worry, the cooperation with him would definitely be maintained.

Captain Zhang has to set an example by patrolling until midnight tonight, so he has no time to chat with Jiang Cheng in the army.

Then at ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Cheng slipped away directly from the inner coast blocked by the troops in a place no one expected and no one would patrol.

It took only ten minutes to reach the Xiangjiang River on the other side, and then it took quite some time to climb over the forest with a flashlight to reach the small road. Once on the small road, Jiang Cheng began to change his clothes and took out the bicycle from last time.

Although the landing area is still the New Territories, the landing point is different. Last time I arrived here, the pier and the wooden house area did not take long to walk, but this time it took more than 20 minutes by bike.

Mainly riding a bicycle on the mountain forest path is not as fast as Jiang Cheng's "swimming" in the sea. The wooden house area is dark, but there are still some lights at the dock.

Jiang Cheng passed through the wooden houses and spent a lot of time approaching the place he rented. Although it was not in the central area of ​​the New Territories, there were still some places with lights at around 11 o'clock in the evening.

The prostitutes in this residential area are really dedicated to their jobs. Many of them are still doing business at this late hour. But there are only a few people here. How can there be any customers?

In fact, Jiang Cheng didn't understand. There were many people playing cards around here at this time of night. After the game was over, the winners might take care of the business of these women standing at the door late at night.

Jiang Cheng returned to his rented place. The lights were off in the room, so everyone should be asleep. He thought that if he was not here, Zhang Hao and the others would have to work to support themselves. Even if they were playing cards at home, it was impossible for them to be awake at this time.

Outside the room, Jiang Cheng first brought out four slaughtered pigs. He didn't know how much the watches would fetch, but in Hong Kong, pork was more than four dollars a pound. If he sold them cheaply, a few pigs could fetch more than a thousand dollars.

After getting everything ready, Jiang Cheng took the key and went to open the door.

"Ahao, Aguang, Ali~." After entering the room, Jiang Cheng turned on the light in the living room, saw that the house was quite tidy, and then called Zhang Hao and the others.

Soon the lights in both bedrooms came on and the doors opened.

"Brother Cheng, come back."

Shen Li heard the sound, opened the door and walked out of the room. When she saw Jiang Cheng, she ran to him like a young wife.

"Brother Cheng~." Only Ali came out from the other room. When he saw Jiang Cheng, he called him with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Jiang Cheng stood in the living room and waited for a while. Seeing that there was no movement in Ali's room, he asked, "Where are Hao and Guang?"

"Well~Brother Hao and the others have left. They asked me to tell you thank you for your care." Ali responded.

"They left, why didn't you leave?" Jiang Cheng asked.

To be honest, it has been almost a month since Jiang Cheng left. I thought Zhang Hao and the others would leave, but I didn't expect that two of them would leave and only one would stay.

"Brother Cheng, after you left, Brother Hao recruited a few more people under the bridge. Because we have ID cards, we are not afraid of the patrols at the dock. With more people, Brother Hao thinks it is more free to join those gangs. But I want to live a more stable life in Hong Kong." Ali replied. Jiang Cheng thought about it, each person has his own ambitions, there is nothing he can do. If he really wanted to let the three of them follow him, he should at least give them some money to spend.

But Jiang Cheng didn’t intend to do anything big in Hong Kong. He just needed a few people to help him before his business in Hong Kong got going.

"Ali, let's talk about some things later. Go outside and get some things in first." Jiang Cheng said to Ali.

"Brother Cheng, what is it, a fish?" Shen Li asked, because Jiang Cheng had said before that he wanted to make fish balls, and she thought he had brought some fish.

"No, I got some meat here. Meat is easy to sell. Let's sell the meat first to make some money, and then we can do other things." Jiang Cheng said.

Ali listened to the order, but didn't say anything. He went out immediately, looked at the things outside the door, and took them directly inside without asking any questions. He also said that Jiang Cheng didn't need to do anything, and he didn't need to do anything.

Shen Li was a weak woman, unlike the women in China who had worked in the fields. She couldn't even pull a bag of sweet potatoes weighing 100 to 200 kilograms, so she could only go to the kitchen to boil water for Jiang Cheng to wash his face and feet.

Soon all the things were moved in, and Jiang Chengcai began to ask Zhang Hao and the others about their specific situation.

It is because they have ID cards that they dare to go out and see more things. Before, they only wanted to hang out at the docks because they didn't dare to go anywhere else.

Now I am thinking of getting more people so that I can do more things. These days, some small gangsters may go hungry three times a day, but as a small leader, you can still do nothing and live a good life.

Another point is what Jiang Cheng said last time, the meaning is also very clear. The fish ball workshop has not yet opened, and their work has been almost arranged. They are responsible for recruiting people and delivering goods, which is a little better than a worker, but not much better.

Ali is different. He doesn't have so many ideas. He wants to make money. He also wants to make easy money, but now many gangs make money by bullying honest people. He doesn't want to do such things because he thinks it lacks conscience.

Jiang Cheng had something important to do and needed someone to run errands. Ali felt that it would be more appropriate for him to follow Jiang Cheng, so he did not go with Zhang Hao and the others.

There is another reason why he didn't leave. If he followed Jiang Cheng, he might not have enough money at the moment. But if he followed Zhang Hao, he could only lead people to find work while thinking about who to go to.

At Zhang Hao's place, we had to find ways to eat. Here, Shen Li could cook for everyone every day, and we didn't have to pay for accommodation.

"When I left, did I say hello to the cold storage I asked you to find?" Jiang Cheng asked after hearing what Ali said.

"Brother Cheng, we went to ask around. There is a fishery company with a cold storage at Tuen Mun Wharf, but they don't open it to outsiders. However, there is a cold storage for rent on Hotan Street. We asked about the approximate price. If the area you want is small, they said it would be around 15 dollars per square foot." Ali said.

When Jiang Cheng heard the price, even though it was a price that had not been negotiated yet, he felt that this cold storage was really expensive.

Here, one square foot is less than one tenth of a square foot, which means one square foot costs 150 yuan. A cold storage the size of a house here costs 5,000 yuan a month.

Just renting a cold storage for two months would cost a domestic millionaire, a term that became popular only in the 1980s and 1990s.

"Ali, go and have a rest first. We will go and ask tomorrow. After we rent this cold storage, we will be busy. I will discuss the salary with you then. Since you are working with me, you don't have to do odd jobs in the future." Jiang Cheng said.

It was so late, Shen Li had already boiled some water for Jiang Cheng. He told him to get some sleep and talk about it tomorrow.

Ali smiled and responded. For him, it was a good bet. After all, it had been almost a month, and he thought Jiang Cheng might not come back. Now that he had waited for Jiang Cheng and had heard this explanation, he felt relieved.

Jiang Cheng washed his face and was going to wash his feet before going to bed. But he thought that he was not sleeping alone and there were some excessive places when he slept with Shen Li, so he washed other places as well.

Lying in bed at night, Jiang Cheng actually knew that he had cheated on his wife. Shen Li was not a little girl. In some rural areas in China, it was not uncommon for people of this age to get married.

Sleeping with Shen Li, Jiang Cheng wants to say that he has no thoughts and is pure.
Late at night, one of the two pairs of eyes in the room opened. A slender hand reached into the boxer shorts.
“Like this~~~.”

Someone was amazed, her heartbeat was rising and falling rapidly. She didn't know whether she was brave or timid, but it was a breakthrough for her.
