Chapter 62: The Old Man's Birthday

"Master, the accounts have been checked, and the people who sent the invitations are ninety percent of the people who came, and the few who didn't come also brought birthday gifts and messages, saying that they would come to visit the old man in a few days."

When Wang Xu saw Li Ya away, a bookkeeping steward walked up, stood aside and whispered.

Hearing this, Wang Xu retracted his gaze, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he issued the summoning order, he took into account that some of these brothers and sisters might be more miserable, so he brought an extra fifty yuan as travel expenses.

Judging from today, this money is well spent, which not only reflects his financial resources, but also frees the poorer senior brother from worries.

After all, fifty yuan is not a decimal number, and it is enough for a family of three to chew it for half a year in the countryside. If you don't have this money, maybe some people don't even have enough money to travel, and it's a matter of whether they can come or not.

"The pastries, melons, fruits, and tea on the table must be sufficient, and I must not be short of catties or two." Wang Xu turned the jade ball in his hand, thought about it and said: "You go to the pear orchard and find me the Hengsheng opera troupe, the old man likes to watch shadow puppet plays, starting from the end of the afternoon and not stopping until the second half of the night." ”

"Yes, sir." The steward nodded and left, Wang Xu looked at the time, and began to walk in to greet everyone.

When Wang Xu didn't come, the entire floor of the Dunhuang Restaurant was full of laughter, as well as the fierce blowing from the south and the north of the world.

Seeing him come in, everyone was silent, and they hugged their fists and said, "Little junior brother..."

"Everyone here is my senior brother, so you don't have to be restrained. This time, I invite everyone to come over, firstly, because of the old man's birthday, let's celebrate. Second, everyone has been apart for too long, and we should get together if we have such a good opportunity, after all, we are all members of the Han Clan's Bagua Sect. Wang Xu stood in the ring and said to everyone.

Behind him, the old man sat under the word Shou, holding a teacup in his hand, and nodded quietly.

The old man has a good face, and when he doesn't mix well, he would rather give people acupuncture on the street, and he has never opened up with his apprentices.

Now sitting on it, looking at the hundreds of familiar faces in the hall, it seems that I have regained my former grandeur, and I can't close my mouth when I smile.

"Little junior brother, I heard Senior Brother Zhang say that your business is doing well now, do you see if you can..." A thin middle-aged man stood up in the crowd, with a shy look on his face, and whispered: "Can you also find us something to do?" ”

There were hundreds of people in the lobby, looking at each other one by one, and most of them showed signs of excitement.

You must know that this is the Republic of China, the Republic of China, which is full of bullets, is not the time to be able to cross the world with two hands.

Most of the people present were either small traders or porters, and even those who worked in the family farm, and there was no one in a hundred who mixed well.

Wang Xu stood on it and raised his eyes to sweep over, there were only a few people with disdain, and there were more people who were silent, there were thirty or forty people.

At a glance, Wang Xu has a score in his heart, a few people mix well, some people have no worries about food and clothing, and most people have to get by, this situation can be seen from their respective clothes.

"What this senior brother said makes sense, as the saying goes, don't forget each other, we are all brothers in the same family, who else can I help if I don't help you."

The one who got up to speak was arranged by Zhang Fan, Wang Xu took the opportunity to say: "I am currently in the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, and there are more than 100 large and small shops, and the safety problem is a big hidden danger. If you senior brothers appreciate your faces, I will put out the banner of the Han Clan's Bagua Gate, guard a shop for every two people, and divide the rest of the people into various cities, and open the martial arts halls of the Han Clan's Bagua Gate all over the three provinces, what do you think? ”

"Little junior brother, don't mention it in advance when you look at the shop, how are you going to get this martial arts hall?" A senior brother dressed as a martial arts hall owner stood up and asked loudly.

Wang Xu smiled on his face, the people who stood up today were all arranged in advance, and the purpose was to lead his words down.

Seeing this person stand up, Wang Xu nodded slightly and said, "Senior brother present, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-two people, and we will compete for fifty people in a competitive way. These fifty people are the owners of our Han Clan's Bagua Gate, and they are scattered in fifty cities to open museums and accept disciples.

This competition depends on personal ability, who wins and who wins, and the top 50 are the owners. The cost of building the martial arts hall is paid by me, the owner of the hall takes 30% of the profits, Tianjin sets up the main hall, I serve as the head of the museum, Zhang Fan is the head of the sect, and the old man is the patriarch of the school. The rest of the people are scattered in my shop as a seat, and each store has a quota a year, and after the two are decided, they get a chance to challenge the owner, and the winner leaves the store to take over as the owner. ”

Wang Xu not only discussed this remark with Zhang Fan, but even discussed it with the old man.

Nowadays, guns are rampant, and martial arts seem to be lonely, but in fact, there are not many people who want to learn martial arts.

Within the three provinces of Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei, there are more than 50 major cities, and there is a martial arts hall in each city, as long as you want to make a profit, it is not difficult to make a profit.

Of course, Wang Xu doesn't point to these people to make money, he wants a name that is difficult enough to make a move.

Think about it, the Han family's gossip door and the Wang family's antique shop can one day spread all over China, how much his reputation should be improved. In addition, Wang Xu did not resist Japan on the surface, but secretly supported the two parties to resist Japan, thinking that whether it was a red zone or a white zone, or a Japanese-occupied area, the door would be open for him.

As for the Wang puppet regime, Wang Xu never took them seriously, just a group of Japanese dogs, and they can be settled with money.

For example, Mayor Jiang who came today, Governor Chen, who gave him a certificate of opening an armed caravan, you can let them call grandpa if you have money, and their backbone has long been eaten by dogs when they were traitors.

"Little junior brother, your method is suitable for them, but it is not suitable for us. Now we have a few brothers and sisters, eating fragrant food, drinking spicy food, drinking wine in a big bowl, and dividing gold in a big scale, but we can't stand this sin. "It wasn't Tuo who stood up this time, but six strong men who came together, six family members on Niutou Mountain.

As soon as these people stood up, the traces of pistols appeared on their waists, and they hugged their fists and said, "Old man, the disciple has congratulated you on your birthday, I still have something to do on the mountain, so I will go first." ”

Wang Xu didn't say a word, watching these people get up and leave.

These senior brothers, relying on the kung fu in their hands, are now kings on the mountain, and there are really hundreds of people under their hands.

Wang Xu didn't expect them to come, nor did he expect that he would be able to make these people bow down with a shock.

After all, what he can really subdue and absorb are those senior brothers who don't go well, and who will play with him if they have a big family.

"All the brothers and sisters present, let's go first, if you are interested, you can go to my Niutou Mountain to sit, I dare not say more, a small leader can still give it."

When they were about to go out, several people stopped one after another, and the senior brother who was the leader glanced at Wang Xu at the end, and sneered: "In my place, not to mention being able to fight devils, Jinshan Yinshan can also be hugged home, which is better than being a dog for the rich and noble!" ”

"Look for death!" Wang Xu didn't care about it at first, just get together and disperse, and the love between the brothers and sisters is still there.

But when he heard the back, Wang Xu's face turned cold, where is this to pay homage to his birthday, he obviously wants to dig his corner.

First Xiao Mowu, then the bandit brother, one after another, is he really young and can be bullied.
