In Hong Kong in the 80s, the streets were not very wide, and there were many signboards, including people in suits and leather shoes, and there was no shortage of people in bitter clothes.

Hong Kong Hollywood Road, Jiang Kee Restaurant, Jiang Ran is greeting guests with an Indian three-headed face and sweaty face, "Uncle, you are here, your granddaughter is really good, what do you want to eat today?"

"Ah Ran hasn't seen you come to help for a long time, what's wrong with this, bring me beef brisket and pepper pork liver soup. ”

"Okay Lat, Ah Bo, wait a minute. Jiang Ran nodded.

"Dad has a beef brisket and a pepper pork liver soup. ”

The restaurant business is not bad, Jiang Ran has been busy until more than nine o'clock in the evening,

"Oops, I'm tired!" Jiang Ran sat on the stool and rubbed his sore calves.

"Ran Ran is tired, the head injury is not healed, I have let you rest, and your father and I are busy coming. Mother Jiang said with loving reproach.

"You know to spoil him, I've been a restaurant all my life and I'm not tired, let's say, what's the matter with being here for the past two days? If you don't mention those things on the road, I will not have you as a son. Father Jiang smoked a cigarette and said in a muffled voice.

"Ran Ran, listen to your father, don't go out and mix anymore, you see if you have something, how will I live!" Jiang Mu Yu looked at Jiang Ran expectantly.

"Mom, Dad, I know, I promise you never to go out again. ”

The surprise and joy in Father Jiang's eyes flashed away, "It's good if you can figure it out, there are few flying boys who go out to get a good end, in the future, you will honestly help in the restaurant, and also learn some cooking skills, and in the future, when I can't do it, this restaurant can be opened." ”

"Dad, I don't want to be a restaurant, it's enough for you and Mom to have a restaurant. ”

"Then what do you want to do?" Father Jiang's voice didn't feel like it was raised.

Mother Jiang slapped Jiang's father on the arm next to her, "What are you yelling, the child hasn't finished talking yet." Then he turned his head and asked Jiang Ran,

"Ranran, what are you going to do, have you thought about it?"

"Dad, Mom, I have been thinking about this problem these days, now Hong Kong's economic development is very fast, as long as there is a serious job of people can basically pay 1,000 yuan, if there are two people in the family to earn money, a family income can reach 40,000 yuan, with money the family can buy home appliances, such as TV, VCR, etc. ”

"If you want to sell electrical appliances, it's expensive. Father Jiang interrupted Lin Ran's words.

"No, I want to open a store that rents video tapes, and then play videos in a certain area in the store, and when I play videos, I can buy some drinks and snacks and other things, and even involve records and movie posters, of course, if the business is good, it is not impossible to buy electrical appliances. After saying that, Jiang Ran's eyes lit up, as if he saw gold all over the ground, so he waited for him to pick it up.

"Dad, what do you think?" Jiang Ran looked at Father Jiang expectantly.

Father Jiang was silent for a while and asked, "How much capital do you need?"

"It depends on the rental and purchase price, and it should be enough to have 50,000 yuan. ”

"It's so much, Ah Ran or I'll help out at home, don't say it's tiring to go out and do business on my own, what if I lose it. Mother Jiang began to feel distressed about money at this time, you must know that the couple can earn 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year of hard work.

Father Jiang didn't respond to his mother's remarks, he looked up at Jiang Ran, and said to Jiang Ran seriously: "Since you want to do it, then do it seriously, I will give you this capital, but if you lose money this time, go home to help, and don't entangle with Ah Fei anymore, do business well." ”

"Thank you, Dad, I will do a good job, in addition, this business will definitely have dealings with the street, I plan to call Ah Qing tomorrow to see Rotten Sen, that is, I used to be with the boss, he is a person from Xinyi'an, there is a bit of power on the side of the Yellow River Avenue, I want to open the store in his sphere of influence, how to say that I also followed him for a period of time and was injured, in addition to Ah Qing is the backbone of his subordinates, he can help talk, can ensure that no one will make trouble frequently, and the business will be better. ”

Father Jiang's face was dark when he said that he was going to find Rotten Mori, and it didn't look better until he finished speaking, "I don't care about anything else, but since you said it was for business, I won't say it anymore, but you must pay attention to the degree, if you have any problems, you can find your brother-in-law, their family has been in the police station for decades, and they still have a certain relationship." ”

"Got it, Dad, I'm not going to mess around. ”

Finally persuaded his family to agree to make a video tape rental, Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief, he could sleep well tonight, and start working hard for his career tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ran went to find Ah Qing, "Ah Qing, go and help me find a store on Queen's Road." ”

Ah Qing circled around, staring at Lin Ran, as if he knew him for the first time, Jiang Ran patted Ah Qing and said:

"Look at what, although I look like a jade tree in the wind, and sex can't stop my charm, but my sexual orientation is normal, although I don't discriminate against your sexual orientation, but I still have to cruelly refuse your favor. ”

Ah Qing's eyes widened suddenly, and he yelled at Jiang Ran: "Shameless, get away, I'm not interested in ugly men." ”

Jiang Ran took a step back and said to Ah Qing with a disgusted face: "Wow! It turns out that you are only interested in ugly men, that means that you are interested in beautiful men, it seems that you are still interested in me, I warn you again cautiously, I-right-man-person-no-interest-interest." ”

Jiang Ran and Ah Qing made harmless jokes, the two of them have been friends since childhood, Ah Qing's family conditions are not very good, he came out to mix before he finished reading the book, he has been with Rotten Sen for more than a year, and the fight is fierce so that Rotten Sen takes a fancy to him, Jiang Ran is because of Ah Qing and Rotten Mori.

"Ah Qing, to be honest, I'm really not mixed, I was injured this time, I can see it, no one has come to see me except you for so many days, I usually call me a brother, heh! I want to open a store to do business, my father promised to give me the capital, I won't talk about it now, if you can make money in the future, you can also come out and we will work together, how about it?" Jiang Ran looked at Ah Qing seriously and said.

Ah Qing shook his head and said: "It's okay if you quit, I shouldn't have taken you to do it in the first place, I'm embarrassed to see my uncle and aunt now, as for me, it's too late to quit the club now, and those who have a grudge against me outside wish I quit the club so that I can find me to take revenge." ”

"Then is there a problem with quitting now?" Jiang Ran looked at Ah Qing a little nervously, for fear that he would say that he couldn't retreat.

Ah Qing glanced at Jiang Ran with disdain, and said, "You, how long have you been messing around, who knows you!"

Jiang Ran said in an exaggerated tone, patted his chest and said, "I'm scared to death, but fortunately, I was scared to death." ”

"Is it such an exaggeration, hundreds of thousands of gangsters in Hong Kong, and I haven't seen anything, and it's not good for you to say this in front of me. Ah Qing kicked Jiang Ran on the leg and said angrily.

Jiang Ran shrugged, then put his arm around Ah Qing's shoulder and said, "Brother, you said that I opened a shop on the territory of the rotten forest, will he trouble me, and how much protection money should I pay?"

"Don't worry, who will trouble you if you have nothing to do, besides, you can be regarded as having shed blood for Brother Sen, he will naturally take care of you. Ah Qing looked indifferent.

On the street near Queen's Road, Jiang Ran and the two walked shoulder to shoulder on the street, and there were often younger brothers who greeted Ah Qing, it can be seen that he mixed well in this area, and Jiang Ran was not very satisfied with several restaurants during the period.

"Hey, there's a shop to rent over there, go take a look!" Jiang Ran said, pointing to a house on the corner of the street.
