Holding the settling-in fee, a thin piece of paper bill.

Zhou Xingzu knew Feng Jingyao's plan very well, after all, Feng Jingyao accepted a protégé who did things, not a son-in-law who ate idle meals.

If you want to stand out under him, you have to dare to fight.

Feng Jingyao was undoubtedly testing his ability, wanting to see if he could do this with a hundred oceans.

There are two smoke houses, three nightclubs, 12 gambling stalls, and more than 100 shops on Hongkou Street.

As long as you can win Hongkou Street, you will have at least tens of thousands of oceans of income every month.

Moreover, Hongkou Street is Du Yuesheng's territory, as long as Zhou Xingzu dares to touch Hongkou Street, he will have a mortal enmity with Du Yuesheng. Coupled with the fact that he had killed the golden people before, Zhou Xingzu had no way to retreat, and could only follow the Feng family wholeheartedly.

is worthy of being a Shanghai Tang tycoon, and one move will consider all aspects into it, which is very meaningful.

But Zhou Xingzu is not a person who is afraid of things, and if he wants to be famous in Shanghai, he naturally needs to be bold.

He took the job!

Replace the banknotes of one hundred oceans with Yuan Datou one by one.

It is obviously unrealistic to want to lay down a street alone. The best way for him to do something with these hundred oceans is to recruit troops.

Zhou Xingzu held a box of oceans and came to the port dock the next morning.

The pier in Shanghai Tang is the most chaotic place. All kinds of gang characters occupy a place in the docks. Many hooligans who have nothing to do also squat on the dock and wait for work.

Zhou Xingzu's way of recruiting troops and horses was very special, and he sprinkled a box of oceans on the ground.

Immediately attracted everyone's attention, and a group of people surrounded him. stared at the ocean with a greedy look, and couldn't take his eyes off it at all.

In this era, one ocean is enough for a family to live for a month, two oceans can buy a woman, and five oceans can buy a house.

The settling-in allowance for ordinary thugs is only ten oceans.

Zhou Xingzu can get a hundred oceans, which is already a very expensive value.

One can imagine how attractive a hundred oceans are.

Many people were ready to move, and they all wanted to step forward to get the money, but Zhou Xingzu stood there with his own momentum, which made them dare not act rashly.

"Take one and bluff with me."

"Take five, and follow me to cut people."

"Take ten, and give me your life!"

Zhou Xingzu yelled at everyone, simply and rudely taking money to buy his life.

The people on the dock are also not surprised, because in this era, there are many people who spend money to buy their lives. It's just that some people who joined the trade name turned around and left silently, and the rest were all idlers without a trade name.

If you want to join the brand name in this era, especially a big gang like the Qinggang Hongmen, you need to introduce the guide of the entry, and you also need to hand over the red envelope of worship. Some poor idlers don't even have the qualifications to join the trade name.

This kind of recruitment is a rare opportunity for them. Although they didn't know who Zhou Xingzu was, it was enough to recognize Dayang. Isn't it just trading your life for money? Anyway, everyone's lives are not worth much, and it is definitely a sure profit to be able to exchange it for ten oceans.

However, the subordinates recruited by this method must be a rabble, and they are vulnerable. But fortunately, Zhou Xingzu didn't think about how elite they could be, they were just cannon fodder to support the scene and share the pressure.

When Hongkou Street is laid, with a fixed territory and income, then slowly recruit troops, and naturally select a group of fierce people.

"I want the money."

"Ten oceans, I'll give you my life."

"Cowards get out of the way, what's there to take for a piece of ocean?"

After Zhou Xingzu finished speaking, many idlers wanted to reach out and get the money, some took a piece of the ocean, and some took five pieces of the ocean. But there are not a few people who take ten yuan, and some people even see that the money in the box is not enough. snatched a piece of ocean from someone else's hand, and made up ten pieces of ocean.

In the end, there were nineteen people, nine of whom were taking ten oceans for their lives, and the remaining nine were taking a piece of oceans and leaving if they wanted to bluff people.

Zhou Xingzu couldn't say that he was satisfied or dissatisfied with this result, but he just swept over the nine fierce men who dared to sell his life with his eyes, and then looked at the remaining ten idlers who played soy sauce, nodded and asked them to report their names. Tomorrow at six o'clock in the afternoon, go to Anju Lane to find him.

Anju Lane is a small alley close to the concession, although Zhou Xingzu worships under Feng Jingyao, he is not qualified to live in the concession.

Now he has an identity in the rivers and lakes at most, and if he wants a real status in the rivers and lakes, he has to fight it with real knives and guns.

For the time being, he can only live in a hut in Anju Lane, which is a place arranged for him by Feng Jingyao.

And these people he recruited, after leaving their names, went home with the ocean. They have to take the money home before they can feel at ease. Especially if you take a large piece of Dayang's life money, if you don't take Dayang home first, you may not be able to return home in this life.

Zhou Xingzu glanced at the names and found that the nineteen newspapers were basically all miscellaneous names. Either Erlang or Saburo, or Ah Qiang Ngawang, none of them are real names.

He was not surprised by this, the people of the rivers and lakes begged for a living on the tip of the knife, and it was normal to use fake names, and the name was not important.

And the news of Zhou Xingzu's recruitment did not attract anyone's attention on the rivers and lakes.

After all, the matter of spending money to buy his life is staged on the dock every day, Zhou Xingzu's face is raw, and few people on the dock know him, so naturally no one pays attention to him. What's more, if you only recruit a dozen people, you can't do anything big, and you can't make any waves on the rivers and lakes at all.

But no one could have imagined that the situation in Shanghai would begin to change.

By the afternoon of the next day, seventeen of the nineteen men came.

The two people who took ten yuan of ocean money for their lives did not appear in Anju Lane on time.

Zhou Xingzu didn't say much about this, but secretly remembered the names of these two people. A box will then be pulled out of the room, containing a machete that has been prepared long ago, and a strip of black cloth.

Seventeen people picked up machetes without saying a word, obviously not the first time they had done something. However, when I saw the black cloth, my eyes couldn't help but flash with surprise.

Because in Shanghai, black represents the Feng family.

The reason is that it is just a small matter, and I didn't expect it to involve the Feng family.

Zhou Xingzu watched them skillfully tie the strip of cloth to their arms, tore open a pack of cigarettes, distributed them to everyone, and lit one for himself by the way: "Everyone understands the rules, as long as the matter is done, I will pay for the settlement fee and medical expenses." ”

"When you open it, you ten can run, but you can't."

Zhou Xingzu held a cigarette in his hand and pointed at everyone, and all nine of them nodded in understanding.

"Come with me to Hongkou Street."

Zhou Xingzu walked out of Anju Lane and walked towards Hongkou Street with people.
