Chapter 44 [The Beginning of the Plot]
It's past eight o'clock, on the first floor.
Taking the key from Ah Xiangna, Tang Ren opened the four facades on the first floor and walked in with Mo Youqian enthusiastically.
"Master, this is the place where the martial arts hall will be opened in the future."
Several facades are not very large, but if they are all opened, there are almost more than 600 square meters, which is more than enough to open a martial arts hall.
The door is a street, although the people come and go is noisy, but in the recruitment of apprentices is not a problem, with the flow of people naturally represents the source of customers.
Now the martial arts hall is not like in the past, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, now the opening of the martial arts hall is like opening a gym, the best signboard is as big as possible, the more prosperous the location, the better, so as to attract more people to come.
Mo Youqian looked left and right, he was very satisfied with this place, it was no worse than his martial arts hall in New York, and praised: "Tang Ren, this faΓ§ade you are looking for is very good, if you open a martial arts hall here, you will not have to worry about the origin of life." β
"Hehe, master, don't you believe my vision?" Tang Ren grinned, revealing his golden teeth, and smiled brightly.
"Ah Ren, what do you think of this place?"
Mo Youqian turned his head to look at Gu Ren.
"It's pretty good, if senior brother opens a martial arts hall here, business must be prosperous." Gu Ren glanced at Tang Ren meaningfully, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Feeling the ill-intentioned eyes of his junior brother, Tang Ren swallowed his saliva, and he knew that he was at a loss, so he quickly turned his head not to look at his junior brother, but continued to flatter his master: "Master, look at how good the house here is!" The hall is large and wide, and the door is three feet three, and it is difficult to do business without making money. Master! This is an absolute treasure of feng shui. β
"Well, that's good."
Although Mo Youqian didn't believe what Tang Ren said, this house was really good, a house of 600 square meters, which could be divided into two halls, the front hall for teaching, and the back hall for rest, which was a little bigger than his martial arts hall in New York.
"How are you looking?" Ah Xiang walked in from the outside.
Hearing this, Gu Ren turned his head to look at her, only to see Ah Xiang change into a peach-colored half-sleeved dress, draw some light makeup, and comb a ball hair, which looked a little less gaudy and more fresh than yesterday.
Ah Xiang noticed that Gu Ren's eyes had been staring at her, and she was secretly happy in her heart, but she snorted coquettishly on her face, walked to Mo Youqian's side, and said with a smile: "Master Mo, are you still satisfied with this place?" β
"Satisfied, satisfied, satisfied!" Mo Youqian touched his gray beard, and said with a red face: "It's still very good to open a martial arts hall in this place, Miss Ah Xiang, the location of your rooms is very good." β
As soon as he heard that Mo Youqian was satisfied, Ah Xiang immediately smiled, covered his mouth and smiled: "Master Mo, you can just be satisfied with these rooms." In terms of rent, I will give you a minimum discount, which is originally 50,000 baht per room per month, I will give you a 20% discount, and then another discount, 4 rooms are 150,000 baht per month, and the deposit is paid for three, and it is paid for half a year. β
"Huh?" Mo Youqian was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she meant.
Tang Ren on the side suddenly became anxious, stepped forward and grabbed Mo Youqian's arm, pulled him aside, and muttered in a low voice: "Master, that's the case, I don't have a lot of money on me now, and I can only pay half a month's rent." β
"Isn't it! Why do you want to open a martial arts gym with this little money? "Mo Youqian's eyes widened, there is only half a month's rent, what kind of martial arts gym are you opening! It's not just a faΓ§ade, not to mention decoration, just buying training props such as wooden stakes also requires a sum of money.
"Master, I'm so bitter."
Tang Ren's eyes were pitiful, and he sobbed fakely: "I have been in Thailand for almost ten years, and I have indeed made some money by relying on my ability to reach the sky, but most of the heads have basically been sent back to my hometown by me, contributing to the people in my hometown, and now I only have a little money left on my body." Originally, I saved enough money to open a martial arts gym, but not long ago, a younger brother in my hometown got married, so I had to send the money back. β
As he spoke, Tang Ren immediately covered his face with his hands, as if he was about to cry.
Mo Youqian, who looked at this, was a little unbearable, hesitated for a few seconds, and asked, "Then how much are you missing?" β
"According to my estimate, with the rent given by Ah Xiang, there is almost 300,000 baht left before the martial arts hall can be opened for enrollment first."
Tang Ren was overjoyed, his face did not change his true colors, and he still said bitterly: "300,000 baht is almost 70,000 yuan, and it is only 10,000 yuan when converted into US dollars." β
"Ten thousand?"
"Yes, master, it's only $10,000."
"Is 10,000 enough?" Mo Youqian frowned, he didn't expect that it would only cost $10,000 to open a martial arts gym in Thailand.
Tang Ren was stunned, the master actually asked him if 10,000 was enough, doesn't this mean that the master is very rich!
Thinking of this, his eyes became a little more bright, and he said excitedly: "Master, if you lend me 20,000 US dollars, I promise to open the Mojiaquan Martial Arts Gym into a full Chinatown, no!" It is the largest and most famous martial arts hall in Bangkok! β
"20,000 is not much, if you need it, the master can borrow ...... temporarily"
Without waiting for Mo Youqian to finish speaking, Gu Ren came up and shouted: "Master, the matter of the martial arts hall still needs to be considered more, I just searched the Internet, there are still several martial arts halls in Chinatown, and I don't know if the senior brother has greeted these people?" If not, we would have come and open the museum, wouldn't it be a slap in the face. β
Although opening a martial arts gym is not as complicated as it was in the past, Gu Ren just checked it with his mobile phone, and there are still several traditional Chinese martial arts gyms on Yaowarat Road in Bangkok's Chinatown.
"There are Cai Li Fo and Hong Fist!"
As soon as he heard Gu Ren say that there were two Cai Li Fo and Hong Fist martial arts halls, Mo Youqian's face suddenly froze, and he nodded slightly: "What you said is right, Ah Ren, the relationship between Cai Li Fo and Hong Quan and our Mo Family Fist has always been bad, if you open the hall rashly, I am afraid it will not be peaceful in the future." β
Tang Ren's face was anxious and said, "No, master!" It's not in the past now, it's casual to open a martial arts gym, and not long ago there was a Muay Thai gym in Chinatown! β
"Muay Thai is a local boxing method, and it is not our Chinese boxing method, it is its freedom to open there, but we are different."
Mo Youqian shook his head and said: "The five major fists of Guangdong have always been fighting for their livelihoods, and in the early years, when I first arrived in the United States, I had a lot of chats with the Hongquan seniors, and finally successfully opened the Mojiaquan martial arts gym in New York's Chinatown. β
Seeing the master's stubborn appearance, Tang Ren's face changed, and he suddenly had the illusion of a chicken flying egg.
Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Gu Ren also smiled, and retreated a few steps back to ignore Tang Ren.
He just told his master this, in addition to not wanting Mo Youqian to be deceived by Tang Ren because of his feelings, and secondly, calculating the time, the next thing should be the police wanted Tang Ren, at that time, instead of making Mo Youqian worry in vain, it is better to fool him to other martial arts halls to communicate with those hall owners.
In two or three days, I want to come to Tang Ren to wash away his grievances, and this employment task can be successfully completed.
On the other side, Ah Xiang saw the three of them chatting behind their backs, frowned, and was about to speak, when he saw Gu Ren retreating, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab his arm and asked, "Gu Ren, tell me the truth, does your master want to open a martial arts hall here?" How do I look at your master as if he doesn't know about it! Is Tang Ren talking nonsense again? β
"Actually......"
Just as he was about to say something, Gu Ren was suddenly stunned, and immediately took a deep breath, the originally faint fragrance came to his nose at this time, this fragrance smelled very good, not like the smell of ordinary perfume.
Ah Xiang was waiting for Gu Ren to reply, and suddenly saw him leaning forward and taking a sharp breath, looking intoxicated, and immediately said shyly: "What do you want to do!" β
It turned out to be the smell of her!
No wonder it's called Ah Xiang.
Gu Ren came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." Actually, this is all Tang Ren lying to you, my master and I came here this time because I heard Tang Ren say that he was going to open a martial arts hall, so I came here to congratulate you. β
"Good! I knew it was Tang Ren who was lying to me! β
Ah Xiang gritted her jade teeth and looked angry, as if she was annoyed and angry that she was so smart and could be deceived by a guy like Tang Ren.
"Don't worry."
Gu Ren grabbed Ah Xiang, who wanted to theorize, "It's not necessarily that my master may lend money to Tang Ren to open a martial arts hall, so let's wait and talk about this matter." β
"Really?" Ah Xiang raised her eyebrows.
"Possibly, it's only $10,000 or 20,000 anyway."
Gu Ren knew very well that Mo Youqian was a person who valued affection very much, since Tang Ren was the son of his old friend, and he had the status of master and apprentice, he thought that he would lend one or two hundred thousand to Tang Ren.
But this matter will have to wait until the task is completed.
β¦β¦
With Gu Ren's words, Ah Xiang's anger was extinguished a lot, she didn't care about this rent, after all, there was a whole building, and it was a woman, where did she need so much money, and she was just angry because she was deceived by Tang Ren and felt embarrassed.
She didn't go to Tang Ren to theorize, she just glared at him fiercely, and in the other party's puzzled eyes, she turned around and went back to her cabin.
"Senior brother, did you speak ill of me to Ah Xiang?"
Tang Renhu stared at his junior brother suspiciously, suspecting that he had just taken advantage of his inattention to say bad things about himself to Ah Xiang.
"Do you still need me to say it?"
Gu Ren glanced at him, turned around and muttered a few words to the master, and then walked out of the door, ready to go to visit Bangkok's Chinatown.
Although this mission seems very simple, as long as it is handed over to Qin Feng to solve the case, in order not to make a mistake, Gu Ren decided to go to the field to inspect the Songpa factory, and by the way, get a map of Bangkok, so as to prepare for the next punishment of Tang Ren.
Little by little, time passed.
In the evening, Gu Ren returned to Ah Xiang's small building.
During the day, he explored the Songpa factory and found that several people outside were secretly peeping into the factory's environment, and judging from the plot of the movie, it should be the local plainclothes police who determined that Songpa was one of the members of the gold theft five.
I should have rushed in tonight and found Sompa dead.
The plot is about to begin!
