"Yes."

Wu Shihao nodded.

took a big bite of the butter packet and looked at his brother who was gobbling it up:

"Xiwei, Ah Qi, I'll leave the matter of posting the leaflet to the two of you."

"No problem."

Xiwei agreed.

The dumb seven also nodded in agreement.

Seeing the four people who are usually inseparable, only three of them came to the dock today, Li An couldn't help but smile and asked:

"Why didn't you see Dawei today?"

Wu Shihao responded casually: "Dawei has been uncomfortable for the past two days, so I will let him rest at home." ”

Li An looked at him and said seriously:

"If a person is not feeling well, take him to the hospital, if he really can't go to the hospital, don't worry about money. If you're short of money, you can tell me. ”

"I see...... A'an, is there anything else? Without us, we're going to be busy. ”

Wu Shihao said as he stuffed the remaining butter buns into his mouth and stood up.

He urged the two people next to him to get up: "Hurry up and eat, and go to work after eating." ”

"Brother Hao, wait a minute."

Li An pondered for a moment and called out to Wu Shihao.

"In the future, I won't have to do the work of portering the wharf, and I won't be able to make a lot of money. You go and get in touch with the owner manager or shipping company of other terminals.

These steamship companies engaged in shipping are not bad at this commission. ”

"Contact the shipowner's manager?" Wu Shihao looked at Li An suspiciously.

"Well, if you can handle both the owner, the manager and the workers, I will give you 50% of the commission. Of course, it's up to you whether you can get your employer to make more money. ”

Li An opened five fingers and smiled:

"You don't want to take your three brothers to work as coolies at the docks all the time."

There is a salted fish in Sanjiang level, and the shipowner manager comes to the door, and only occasionally does he work part-time as a broker.

Later, the business expanded to other terminals.

With Sanjiangshui's unreliable temperament, Ang Lee himself may not have the energy.

At that time, it is also a good choice to hand over this business to Wu Shihao and his brothers.

And Wu Shihao is a person who dares to fight and fight.

Throughout his life, he has been able to go from being penniless to becoming one of the new four major families, and his ability is absolutely undoubted.

Although black and white belong to two different paths, Wu Shihao's characteristics of daring to fight are rare advantages in this mixed era.

Working as a coolie at the docks is a bit of a condescension.

"Surely."

Wu Shihao's tone was firm.

He came to Hong Kong Island with his brother with great ambition to make money.

Now that Ang Lee has all the opportunities in front of him, and he trusts him so much, he naturally has no reason to back down.

"That's up to you."

Seeing Wu Shihao leave with the two, Li An looked around the dock.

Seeing that it was still early to start construction, he took a step and walked straight to the pergola.

It's just a good time to sort out the clues in your mind.

Now that the license of the newspaper stall has been completed, of course, the stall must be put up as soon as possible.

Zhou Sheng helped him apply for a license for a licensed fixed stall.

The management fee for the licence is HK$200 per annum and can be paid annually or every four months.

The management fee of this era is collected by the affiliated mission hall.

Of course, fees are not included.

When Li An came to the wharf, he specially looked at the booth location, which was not far from the entrance of the wharf, and the position he occupied was very good.

Until the sun leaps out of the sea.

Sanjiangshui came to the dock in a hurry.

He walked into the pergola and sat across from Ang Lee.

"Listen to Ah Sheng, you are going to set up a newspaper stall at the dock."

Brother Sheng? Li An was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

There are so many stalls at the pier, and everyone wants a good location.

I was still wondering if the newspaper stall could occupy such a good position at the entrance to the dock.

If Zhou Sheng had been to the dock, it would have made sense.

After all, not only the management fee, but also the stalls are managed by the errand.

Li An gathered his thoughts, saw that Sanjiangshui was still looking at him, and chuckled:

“...... Well, I'm going to hand over the newspaper file to Ah Xin to take care of. If the business is good, I will continue to open two more houses, anyway, I don't have to work on my own, and it is not bad to earn some extra water. Senior brother, you said yes, right? ”

"That's right." Sanjiangshui nodded secretly.

"Senior brother, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you, it is the broker's business......."

Li An told Sanjiangshui about his plans one by one.

Wait until he's done.

Sanjiangshui couldn't help but quip:

"Listen to the head of your arrangement, let you do things at the dock are condescending, you just go into business."

Ang Lee's face was serious:

"Hey, brother. To be serious, no matter how you say that this is also your business, I will take some commission from it, so you have to make a statement. ”

"You are my junior brother, you do things, I have no opinion."

Sanjiangshui spread his hands, and then muttered for a moment:

"However, you leave this matter almost entirely to Wu Shihao? And let him have access to employers? Do you want to think about it? ”

李安 says:

"He's a smart guy and should know very well that he can't eat on the docks without us. And, I believe in him too. ”

"Then I'm fine."

Sanjiangshui saw that his junior brother had considered this, so he didn't say more.

I took the kettle on the table and poured a glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Senior brother?"

"Anything else?"

“...... I got the license, but the stall hasn't been set up yet. ”

"Bad money?"

Li An looked at his senior brother with a smile:

"That's not it, it's just that I'm going to look at a little bit of the report in the past two days, and I'll leave the inventory of the goods to you."

"Get out! Go about your own business first. Sanjiangshui laughed and scolded.

"Then thank you, brother."

Li said thank you pretendedly.

Get up and leave quickly.

Sanjiangshui laughed, took the account and walked towards the freighter that was approaching the wharf.

When Li An got out of the dock, he walked straight to the north and south next to the pier.

Northbound is one of the oldest industries on Hong Kong Island, having existed long before 1851.

It was quite active in the early days of the opening of the port, and it was also the earliest Chinese-funded entrepot trade industry.

It mainly deals in goods from the north and south lines.

The southern route deals with local products, medicinal herbs, and food products from Southeast Asia.

The northern route is mainly engaged in the export of goods from the mainland.

Of course, there are many grocery dealers.

Ang Lee wants to set up the stall, and the bicycles used for the purchase are naturally indispensable.

This era.

There is no such thing as home delivery.

Whether it is a grocery store or a newspaper stall, most of the goods are picked up by the owner himself in a small factory.

Newspaper sellers go to the newspaper office at two or three o'clock in the morning every day to pick up the day's newspaper.

Tabloid newspapers and magazines are published every three or seven days.
