A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 60 Bodyguard
At the base on Yuyuan Road, Chen Guangliang met Zhou Xinggao and several drivers who had participated in revenge for their co-workers.

This group of drivers was a small team led by a man named "Liu Shangwu". Judging from the fact that they dared to kidnap Tang Zhiqing's son, Chen Guangliang believed that this group of people was quite courageous.

Even though things were not handled perfectly at the beginning, if Chen Guangliang had been in charge personally, Tang Zhiqing would definitely not have been able to regret it in the end.

In any case, Chen Guangliang was in need of people, so he planned to recruit this group of people for his own use.

"Meet Mr. Chen"

Chen Guangliang stood up and walked towards Liu Shangwu and the other four. Then he said to Liu Shangwu, "Did you four plan to kidnap Tang Zhiqing's son and force Tang Zhiqing to tell the truth?"

Liu Shangwu glanced at Zhou Xinggao, then thought of something and said, "Yes, it was the four of us who did it. The two brothers who died couldn't have died in vain, so we have to make Tang Zhiqing tell the truth and make Wang Chengyun receive the punishment he deserves."

Seeing that he did not give up Zhou Xinggao, Chen Guangliang looked up to him even more.

"Are you interested in working with me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Shangwu replied in surprise: "Boss Chen is a good boss. We are all willing to work with you, no matter how hard it takes!"

“We are willing to do so too”

He also vaguely knew that the last incident was thanks to Chen Guangliang.

Otherwise, why did Zhou Xinggao join them secretly and finally return to work for Boss Chen?

Chen Guangliang nodded and said, "Well, you will work with Zhou Xinggao for the time being, with a monthly salary of 15 yuan. In addition, if you are injured in the future, the car dealership will cover all medical expenses, and there will be a generous reward. If you die for the company, your family will receive a resettlement allowance of 1500 yuan."

This year, the salary of an ordinary patrolman in the Chinese area of ​​Shanghai is only 10 to 13 dollars.

The salary of a rickshaw puller is between 10 and 12 yuan per month.

Now that he offered this group of people a salary of 15 oceans, he naturally intended to build up his own power.

When Liu Shangwu and the others heard the word 'lose their lives', they were not afraid at all. Instead, they said excitedly, "As long as Boss Chen gives the order, we will charge into battle without any problem."

The resettlement allowance of 1500 yuan is simply a huge temptation.

In other words, since Chen Guangliang had no money, he would probably have to fight for it.

"Okay, you guys step back first. Zhou Xinggao will tell you how to do things later."

"Yes, Boss Chen."

After these people left, Chen Guangliang said to Zhou Xinggao, "Brother Zhou, you are now a shareholder of the car dealership, and you receive several hundred dollars in dividends every month. However, I am in need of people right now, especially a trustworthy and skilled bodyguard."

Zhou Xinggao immediately said, "Boss, I'm your bodyguard. If it weren't for you, I would have starved to death on the street. Although I get a few hundred dollars in dividends every month, it's all given to me by you."

Chen Guangliang said with satisfaction: "Okay, you should select two more people as soon as possible to follow me. In addition, you should also arrange the work at the car dealership."

Recently, Chen Guangliang had a vague feeling that if he didn't find a few bodyguards to follow him, he would be kidnapped sooner or later.

Especially the bald man was in urgent need of funds. He heard in his previous life that because of the lack of military funds, many bosses were kidnapped and extorted for money.

What's more, in addition to bald heads, kidnappings also occur frequently in Shanghai, even in the concessions.

Therefore, Chen Guangliang needs bodyguards to follow him.

Of course, Chen Guangliang's biggest "trump card" is himself. After six months of traveling, he is convinced that his body has reached the top quality of human beings.

To give an example, his reaction speed may make it possible to snatch a gun with bare hands, just like the super masters in the movies of the previous life, where the enemy has no chance of pulling the trigger.

However, Chen Guangliang still didn't want to gamble, so it was safer to have bodyguards around him, after all, he was not short of money.

Zhou Xinggao reminded him, "Boss, do you want to get a gun?" Chen Guangliang didn't think twice before replying, "You can, but we need to think long and hard. Don't be rash."

Zhou Xinggao nodded and said, "Well, I understand."

Today, Changjiang Car Dealership's monthly rental income is 5250 yuan. Based on a 6% management fee, it can spend just over 300 yuan.

Including Chen Guangliang, the number of employees has now increased to 10, including two financial staff, four management staff (rent collection), three bodyguards, and one boss; there are also two store wholesale department staff whose salaries are paid personally by Chen Guangliang.

The salary expenses for 10 people account for the bulk of the expenses, but if more vehicles are added later, there will not be much left.

Although the bodyguard's job was an expense for the car dealership, the dealership actually rented his land (Yuyuan Road) and did not charge any rent.

There is no need to calculate too clearly. Anyway, it is impossible to deduct 6% management fee from the dividends of each project and then distribute them all. Sometimes, the dividends account for about 90% of the monthly rent.

Chen Guangliang would intercept some funds and put them into the account of Changjiang Car Dealership.

Chen Guangliang came to the second piece of land he bought. This piece of land was three acres, equivalent to the size of five basketball courts.

"Brother Zhou, arrange for someone to surround this place. Send people to patrol regularly to prevent the refugees from occupying it!"

The land in Shanghai must have an owner.

However, many of these lands are undeveloped. Once they are set eyes on by refugees, they are likely to rush in and build simple dwellings on them.

In cases like Fangua Lane, the original owner could only collect rent from the refugees to recover some of the losses.

Chen Guangliang naturally did not want his land to be occupied by refugees. After all, that little rent was nothing. He was speculating in land.

Zhou Xinggao said, "Well, they also said they wanted to grow some vegetables here. When I heard that, I thought even if they were going to grow vegetables, they would be yours, boss."

Yes, there is nothing wrong with this awareness.

To put things one way or the other, Chen Guangliang could consider allowing the rickshaw pullers to invest in the rickshaw business and give them half of the profits from selling the goods, but he would never allow these pullers to take advantage of him even a penny.

"Yes, let them grow the vegetables, but the harvest is mine. When the harvest is done, I can give it to everyone, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible."

Chen Guangliang specifically warned: "Remember, refugees are not allowed to build houses on my land. If there are too many people, it will be difficult to drive them away."

"Yeah, I took note of it!"

This is good. Now let Zhou Xinggao and his two brothers be Chen Guangliang’s full-time bodyguards.

These bodyguards can not only protect his safety, but also protect the safety of these properties.

In fact, there are no "powerful" people in Shanghaitan. The "three big gangsters" like Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin do sound awe-inspiring, but they are also afraid of being assassinated, so they are always surrounded by more than seven or eight bodyguards.

There is always someone protecting their "mansion" 24 hours a day.

This is why Chen Guangliang always refused when Gu Zhuxuan hinted many times that he wanted to accept him as a disciple of the Qing Gang.

He is a businessman, not a gangster.

If there is danger, just hire more bodyguards and rely on your own skills, I believe there won’t be any problem!
There are conspiracies in the business world. If you can win, fight. If you can't, retreat. It's that simple.

If politicians come to blackmail you in the future, you will always have to pay protection money. As long as you have enough oil on your body, there will always be a lot left after scraping off a few layers.

This is a chaotic world, Chen Guangliang has no choice but to move forward bravely step by step instead of being afraid!
