As for bringing the four Wu Shihao brothers to work at the wharf, it is completely a favor.

…

"Brother Hao, when you are free on weekdays, you four brothers can go to the rest of the cargo terminals.

Keep an eye out for people who come to the docks with a skill to find work, such as cooks, sailors, stokers, or seafarers with experience running boats. If these people are interested in working on a freighter, you should register their information. ”

"Hmm."

Wu Shihao nodded, and then said:

"A'an, don't worry about this! I'll take care of your business. ”

Li An corrected with a smile:

"It's not just me, it's a part-time job for you. If one of these people you are looking for is successfully on the job, after signing an agreement with the shipowner manager, I will also share your share of the commission. ”

Hearing this, Wu Shihao hurriedly refused: "Let us help with this little thing, how can we take your money?" I ......"

"Alright, that's what I said."

Without waiting for Wu Shihao to finish speaking, Li An interrupted with a smile.

"But..."

Wu Shihao opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Li An restrained his smile and said as if he was angry:

"Big man, don't want a mother-in-law and mother-in-law. You work, I pay you, there is no need to excuse yourself.

Besides, it's my brother's business to be a broker on the docks, and I'm just like you, just taking a cut of the commission. Got it? ”

“...... Well. Wu Shihao nodded.

"That's right."

Ang Lee's originally straight face was replaced by a smile again.

He patted Wu Shihao on the shoulder, and his tone was a little serious.

"Dare to fight, Kembo, that's a good thing. Earn money, don't chill! But that kind of thing like getting together with the number of people is still less.

Or go through the motions, shout a few more times, fuck you! Then just wait for those big brothers to finish talking about the work and get the money.

Even if you really fight, you don't have to fight too hard, anyway, the final result is to call it a day and get paid.

Besides, it's only forty yuan for a fight, so what's the use of playing with your life? There are still plenty of opportunities to make money in the future. ”

Wu Shihao was silent for a while, then nodded in response: "I understand." ”

"Okay. Brother Hao, then you go to get busy first, and I will also hand over the goods later. ”

The words have been said thoroughly, and Ang Lee will not say more.

And it's time to be reminded.

He also found a part-time job for the four brothers, and the rest of the way was up to him to choose how to go.

Let's be honest.

What Ang Lee appreciates and wants to make friends is Wu Shihao, who dares to fight, is righteous, and talks about the 'Thousand Years of Winning Favors'.

It's not the lame man who 'can't take it away, only the karma is with him'!

..........

Seeing Wu Shihao walk to the chippers and take the chips and carry the goods onto the freighter, Li An stopped for a moment.

"Andy!"

Shouts were heard in the distance.

Li An turned his head, looked at the small factory owner who had come to the dock to transport the goods, breathed a sigh of relief, and greeted him with a smile again.

In the 60s, the light industry developed rapidly, among which the plastic industry developed the strongest, and the toy manufacturing industry also became the mainstream industry in the 60s.

In addition, electronics, food, textiles and ready-to-wear garments.

Li An said with a smile:

"Boss Zhang, it's shipping again!"

"It's a joke, a small business, and a mixed meal."

Boss Zhang, who was in good shape, narrowed his eyes with a smile and pointed to the goods behind him.

"Now, just fifteen tons of toys, transported to Singapore, on the cargo ship of COSCO Shipping, you can help me arrange a few people to help transport them on the ship."

As he spoke, he took out two packs of unknown cigarettes printed in English from his handbag.

"Hey, Boss Zhang, here you go again! You know I'm a non-smoker. Ang Lee refused.

Boss Zhang forcibly stuffed the cigarette into his hand. and he will not be allowed to refuse,

"If you don't smoke, then give it to the workers, it's a little bit." ...... Well, I just have a small request, when you load the goods, please explain to the worker brothers, lighter, are toys, fragile products, damaged more buyer will not receive the goods. ”

"Understood!"

Li An nodded in response.

Called the organizer and stuffed the cigarette into his hand: "Boss Zhang's goods, let the brothers light it, fragile products." ”

Boss Zhang on the side nodded with satisfaction.

After Li An counted the goods, took the payment handed over by Boss Zhang, and said, "You are busy first!" ”。

Then he turned to the next cargo owner.

Today, there are many small factory owners who are familiar with each other, so they have been busy for nearly three hours in a row.

Only then did Ang Lee get a moment to rest.

After taking a big sip of a cup of herbal tea, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat on a stool to rest.

"Brother An!"

A young man ran quickly.

Ang Lee asked with a smile:

"Ah Xin, why are you here so late today?"

"I'm sorry, Brother An. There was something going on at home in the morning, and I came late. ”

The young man known as Ah Xin, less than twenty years old, was baby-faced, dressed in a washed yellowed white shirt, holding a newspaper wrapped in chicken skin paper in his arms, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

With his free right hand, he pulled out a copy of the Times from his bosom and placed it on the table.

"Brother An, this is your newspaper."

Ang Lee greeted:

"Don't worry, come, sit down first. Drink a cup of herbal tea to reduce the heat. ”

"Thank you."

Although the two had known each other for a week, Ah Xin was still a little restrained, and after placing the newspaper wrapped in chicken paper on the table, he carefully pulled out the stool and sat down.

Li An glanced at the wrapped newspaper:

"How many newspapers can I sell in a day at the dock?"

Although Ah Xin didn't understand Ang Lee's intentions, after thinking for a while, he still responded honestly:

"When it's good, it can sell nearly 300 copies, but it almost can't sell less than 200 copies."

At the end, he said: "The main thing is that it is not allowed to be sold near other docks, otherwise it can be sold more." ”

"That's not bad, six dollars a day, it's much better than selling coolies."

Li An nodded secretly, which was about the same as what he estimated in his heart.

Most of the people on the cargo dock are coolies, and they are reluctant to spend a dime or a half to buy newspapers.

The people who buy the newspaper are usually crew members, or hawkers, people who come to the docks to do business.

If it were at a passenger terminal like Yau Ma Tei, with the current surging population, newsboys like Ah Xin could easily sell thousands of copies a day.

In fact, a small business can make a lot of money.

In these years, relying on a small newspaper stall, not selling tobacco, alcohol, food and water, relying only on newspapers, there are not a few newspaper sellers who can support their families.

During this time, Ang Lee also thought about how to make money.

The only thing that can make quick money at the wharf is smuggling and smuggling.

If you do smuggling, the pattern will be small.

Smuggling, unquestionable profiteering.

Thanks to the blockade of the mainland by Western countries after World War II, Hong Kong Island has become the only port on the mainland facing the world.

Not to mention the rich who started their lives by smuggling.

For example, most of the fishing families of the Chaozhou Gang, as well as Liangongle, which started with Liu Fuhe and the wharf, made a windfall by smuggling and human snakes.

Do smuggling, Ang Lee also wants to.

The key is funds, and the connections are not accounted for, and it is useless to think about it.

However, Manager Liu's words in the morning opened him up to new ideas.

It doesn't fall out of your pocket even if you spend money.

It's okay to try to open a newspaper file, but you have to test the water, and the cost is not large.

The most difficult file registration license can be solved by asking Zhou Sheng to go to the Department of Health.
