After watching for a moment and making sure that everything was going in order, Lin Dong turned around and squeezed out of the crowd and came to the high platform that signed up for the four major events of Lin Kee Gymnasium.

Compared with the other two high platforms, the number of people who signed up for the four major events was as good as the onlookers. On the high platform, the four long dragons that go straight to the bottom stand out. And the most eye-catching thing is the test in front of the four long dragons.

Looking from Lin Dong's position, there was a long queue at the beginning, and the event tested was running.

In front of the long line, a swarthy man stepped forward and came to a long table directly opposite, his right hand stretched out. Behind the long table sat two people, both members of the Lim Kee Inn Guard. A member of the escort team grabbed his wrist, and spiritual power poured into it, and after making sure that there was no spiritual power in the opponent's dantian, he waved his hand.

The big man immediately turned around quickly, ran along a long pink and white line to the edge of the high platform, and then galloped around the high platform, returning to the rear of the guards after a circle.

The members of the escort said lightly: "Pass!" ”

Another member of the escort team picked up two written contracts and a piece of ink and handed them to Dahan, who pressed his handprints on the two contracts respectively, and each person signed up. In just a minute or so, another big man ran around the high platform and returned to the same place.

In front of the long dragon in the middle, there is also a square table, one sits behind the table and is responsible for registration, and the other is responsible for testing whether the subject is a martial artist. After confirming that it is not, let the opponent stand on the other side of the bouncy table, wave the racket in his hand slightly, and the bouncy ball slowly moves towards the opponent.

The subject apparently had no experience with bouncy balls, and despite the fact that the bouncy balls were not fast, they still swung their rackets in a hurry, and the hit was hit, only to hit the bouncy ball to the left side of the table. The members of the escort team shook their bodies, and after grabbing the bouncy ball that flew out, they said in a deep voice: "Failure!" Next! ”

There are more than a dozen in a row, but none of them succeed, and the standard of the test is actually not high, as long as you can fight a dozen back and forth with the members of the escort team, even if you pass the test.

Another long dragon in the middle, the test item is archery, the requirements are not too difficult, after testing the spiritual power, grab the bow and arrow on the table, and shoot towards an arrow target ten meters away, shoot the red heart for passing, and the rest is a test failure. Inevitably, there was a special guard next to the target to deal with emergencies.

Looking at the last long line, the test method is obviously much simpler than the other three events.

Check whether it is a martial artist, punching, kicking and turning, passing with agility and strength, and failing the rest of the tests, the process can be completed in less than half a minute!

After watching under the high platform for half an hour, Lin Dong was relieved.

There is no such thing as sports in this world, and the four major events of Lam Kee Gymnasium have just started, and it is not surprising that the athletes are uneven and the standard is not high. What Lin Dong was most worried about was that some martial artists came to make trouble because of the rule that Lin Ji Inn did not allow martial artists to sign up.

People who study martial arts, regardless of speed, eyesight, agility, and strength, are not comparable to ordinary people. It can be said that if martial artists are allowed to participate in the four major events, the result will definitely be that ordinary people will lose interest in these four major events. After all, compared to martial artists, ordinary people can't win even if they have strong speed and skill. No matter how hard you try, there is no hope of winning, and naturally no one wants to join in the fun.

If there are martial artists who are unhappy with the rules of Lin Ji Gymnasium and come to make trouble, if there are not many, Lin Dong will not be able to accept it. With the strength of Lin Kee Inn, he is not afraid of someone coming to make trouble. But there are too many people, and one dial after another, it's a little tireless.

Before posting the rules that martial artists are not allowed to sign up for the four major events, Lin Dong also had a headache for a while. Now it seems that I am a little worried.

Three high platforms, the three major items of Lin Ji Inn confirmed that there were no omissions one by one, Lin Dong withdrew from the crowd, picked up a leaflet on the ground, and walked in the direction of Lin Ji Inn while looking.

Along the way, there were ten passers-by who were holding leaflets to study, so Lin Dong's behavior couldn't be more normal. When he returned to the inn, except for the three major items, the rest of the entire leaflet had been carefully studied by Lin Dongzai from beginning to end.

There are no loopholes, just waiting for the effect of the propaganda to come out.

Back in the backyard, Lin Dong went back to his room to practice, and in the evening, just after dinner, he re-entered the state of steady, and there was a knock on the door.

"Shopkeeper, the owner of Hongfu Restaurant is here."

Ma Chun's voice sounded outside the door, making Lin Dong's brows frown.

Hongfu Restaurant and Fenglin Restaurant are the two largest restaurants in Lingnan City. Second, almost more than ninety percent of the super large diners have been divided.

"Did you say anything about it?" Lin Dong opened the door and asked.

Ma Chun shook his head: "I said that I came to congratulate the opening of Lin Ji Inn, and I want to make friends, I have invited him to the front yard." ”

Lin Dong was silent, and while going to the front yard, he quickly calculated in his mind.

The owner of Hongfu Restaurant came to visit, undoubtedly having heard of the deeds of Lin Ji Inn in Autumn Wind City. There are only three purposes for coming, either to promote peaceful coexistence in relations, or to join forces with Lin Ji Inn, and with the help of Lin Ji Inn, to snatch back the advantages that were taken away by Fenglin Restaurant some time ago. Otherwise, he sensed the threat of Lin Ji Inn and planned to coerce Lin Ji Inn to withdraw from Lingnan City.

The first purpose may not be a big surname. Peers are enemies, although the restaurant industry is not too powerful, but it is not bad. The owners of the major restaurants are kind and angry on the surface, but behind the scenes, once the other party's restaurant has an accident that eats a bad stomach, the custody will step on a few feet at the first time. Therefore, it is almost unnecessary to make friends deliberately, and when something happens, you should still step on it, and you will definitely not have the slightest softness because the two sides meet and are harmonious.

The second purpose, maybe the surname is not too big, although Lin Ji Inn is a newcomer, but whether it is Southwest City or Autumn Wind City, it has made Fenglin Restaurant a failure twice in a row, and even to the extent that Guangmen has closed down. Lingnan City may not be comparable to Autumn Wind City and Southwest City, but as long as you have a clear mind and today's propaganda offensive, you will not underestimate Lin Ji Inn.

The third purpose, Lin Dong thinks, may be the surname, the reason is that the owner of Hongfu Restaurant is the person.

Hong Wanfu, a character in Lingnan City who had to be shocked three times when he stomped his feet. In the territory of Lingnan City, aside from the two forces with special status, the sect and the family, there will definitely not be more than three who can be equal to him.

Just being one of the leading bosses of the restaurant industry naturally can't make Hong Wanfu reach such a height in Lingnan City. Not to mention anything else, just in the shopping mall, there are many industries that have a dominant position in Lingnan City, among which there are many industries that are more profitable than the restaurant industry, and Hongfu Restaurant is only on a par with Fenglin Restaurant. Not to mention, there are still many bigwigs in the officialdom of Lingnan City, and there is no shortage of highly prestigious figures in the literati world.

What really made Hong Wanfu a prominent identity in Lingnan City was the owner of Hongfu Gambling House.

Gambling house, one of the four major profiteering industries in the Han Kingdom. There are a total of 17 large gambling houses in Lingnan City, and Hongfu gambling houses account for six of them. More importantly, the business of Hongfu Gambling House accounts for more than 70% of the total business of hundreds of gambling houses of all sizes in Lingnan City.

This kind of ratio, not to mention all walks of life in Lingnan City, even in the industries of the entire counties of the Han Kingdom, very few people can do it.

To occupy such a high share in the profiteering industry, Hong Wanfu's ability is beyond doubt. Otherwise, more than half a year ago, it would not have been able to be unscathed in the big plan formulated by the unified action of Fenglin Restaurant using the news of the Chamber of Commerce. It was only after the official establishment of the Chamber of Commerce that the upper hand was slowly occupied by the Fenglin Restaurant.

After coming to Lingnan City, Lin Dong specially asked Wang Liumo to collect detailed information about Hong Wanfu.

Ruthless, scheming, and tough...... Lin Dong believes that Lin Kee Inn's biggest competitor in Lingnan City is not Fenglin Restaurant, but this Boss Hong.

Under the influence of Ling Weifeng, the competition methods of the shopkeepers of each branch of Fenglin Restaurant are all sinister tricks, but Fenglin Restaurant is all over the Han Kingdom, and there are many things to worry about, and many times they can't let go of their hands and feet. And Hong Wanfu is only entrenched in the corner of Lingnan City, but he doesn't have too many concerns, plus he is a gambling house owner, and there are countless ruthless things.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Dong felt that the purpose of Hong Wanfu's trip was to threaten Lin Ji Inn to eliminate the chance of entering Lingnan City.

Originally, with the strength of Lin Ji Inn, he would never be afraid of a gambling house owner. But Lin Dong does not intend to use force as a means of competition, in this way, without experiencing the baptism of competition again and again, with the branches of Lin Ji Inn all over the Han Kingdom, there will be more and more crises, and if you encounter something that cannot be solved by force, and you don't have enough ability to deal with the crisis, you will definitely fail.

What's more, Lin Ji Inn is not finished if its branches are all over the Han Kingdom, but it has to be guaranteed to last, ten, twenty, thirty years...... Absolute force sometimes does not guarantee that a force can continue peacefully, otherwise, there would not be so many lonely peak powerhouses. These peak powerhouses have the ability to establish a large sect from scratch with their personal strength, but the infighting between the disciples of the sect, the relationship of interests with other major sects, and the suppression and provocation of Tianwei Pavilion ...... The most important thing for the founding patriarch of any sect is indeed strength, but other abilities are also essential, otherwise it will definitely not be invincible in various contradictions.

This is still all sects that respect force, and secular business is not strong enough to decide everything.

If Hongfu Restaurant is involved in force, Lin Dong will not hesitate to fight back by force. His biggest entanglement lies in Hong Wanfu's ruthlessness, if he really wants to use methods such as poisoning wine and food, even if he kills Hong Wanfu, in Lin Dong's opinion, he can't make up for the loss of Lin Ji Inn.

But if he preemptively used force to solve Hongfu Restaurant, Lin Dong was unwilling, which was contrary to his idea that he had to use business means to do business.

Some headaches came to the front yard, and at the stone table, a burly and imposing man sat upright on the stone bench. The teacup in front of him was full of tea and did not move.

Lin Dong took a cursory look at Hong Wanfu, who was in his early forties, dressed in a black coarse cloth short coat, and his tiger eyes and thick eyebrows added a fierce and aggressive aura that did not match his age. With this momentum, no one would believe that he was the owner of a big restaurant.

The chubby, squinting little eyes flickered, and everyone looked smiling...... This is the owner of the big restaurant. And this person is more like the head of a family who is known for being tough.

Only a few steps, Hong Wanfu also discovered Lin Dong's arrival, and his blazing gaze was projected straight over, sweeping over Lin Dong unscrupulously.

If he was an ordinary person, he would definitely not be able to stand Hong Wanfu's gaze that did not understand etiquette, Lin Dong was calm, a gambling house owner, without killing intent in his eyes, was already the greatest politeness.

With a faint smile, Lin Dong paced forward, came to the stone table, and arched his hand: "Boss Hong! ”

"Sit!" Hong Wanfu pouted at the stone bench opposite, looking like a person receiving his subordinates.

Harmony makes money, Lin Dong didn't think it was a pestle for Hong Wanfu's attitude, smiled, sat down opposite him, and said, "Boss Hong, the hospitality is not good, please forgive me." ”

"Needless to say." Hong Wanfu looked at Lin Dong coldly.

"Then what should I tell Boss Hong?" Lin Dong looked back at Hong Wanfu with a smile, and was not affected by the gradually deepening anger in his eyes.

After a moment, Hong Wanfu couldn't help but nodded, as if Hong Zhong's voice sounded again: "Yes, it is indeed not luck to be able to let Fenglin Restaurant get out of the way in Southwest City and Autumn Wind City successively." ”

Lin Dong said leisurely: "Compared with Boss Hong, my little thing is nothing." Speaking of which, our Lin Ji Inn was able to resist the suppression of Fenglin Restaurant with the help of the news of the Chamber of Commerce, and it was indeed by luck. And Boss Hong relies on real strength. ”

Hong Wanfu's eyes flashed: "It seems that you have regarded Hongfu Restaurant as an enemy." ”

"It's just a competitor." Lin Dong wrote lightly: "Enemy, it's a bit excessive. ”

Hong Wanfu smiled fiercely and said, "Since you know who I am, let's get straight to the point!" Join forces and let Maple Grove Restaurant get out. ”

"Teaming up?" Lin Dong frowned slightly, this may be a surname, but in his opinion, it is not high. On the bright side, the newcomer Lin Kee Inn is indeed inferior to the Fenglin Restaurant, which has a history of more than 20 years in Lingnan City, but in the same way, the strength of Lin Kee Inn should not be underestimated. This can be seen from the fact that Lin Ji Inn has been able to collect all the super big families in Autumn Wind City in more than a year.

Joining forces with Lin Ji Inn is equivalent to driving wolves and taking the initiative to attract tigers for Hongfu Restaurant, which is not very cost-effective.

"Yes!" Hong Wanfu said in a deep voice: "If my news is correct, in order to deal with Lin Ji Inn's actions today, tomorrow, Fenglin Restaurant will announce a price reduction." The price of all kinds of food and beverages will be reduced to the minimum profit stipulated by the Chamber of Commerce. Lin Ji Inn has not yet opened, the confidence of Fenglin Restaurant is insufficient, our two families join forces, as long as the door of Fenglin Restaurant is forced, with the importance of Fenglin Restaurant's reputation, it will not survive, if there is nothing to do, only close the door to this road. After a year or two of closure, the regular customers are gone, and it is not a worry that the Maple Grove Restaurant will reopen. ”

Lin Dong smiled and did not respond. For Lin Kee Inn, the biggest threat to Lingnan City is Hongfu Restaurant. What's more, he hasn't figured out Hong Wanfu's true intention in doing this.
