Chapter 47: The Essence
Ah Xin's real name is Zhang Jiaxin, his father died very early, and there is a younger sister below, the two brothers and sisters were raised by their mother since they were children, and the family is very poor.
It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house at an early age.
Ah Xin is not yet 20 years old this year, although he has a baby face, which makes people look a little immature at first glance, but he has also been a newsboy at Triangle Pier for three years.
Needless to say, hardship and hard work are not to mention.
He is also clever in his daily work.
Cultivate it, and a few newspaper files used to take care of the triangle pier are more than enough.
In general, after contact in the past few days, Ang Lee is quite satisfied with Ah Xin.
Raising his eyebrows, such a guy can't help but be liked.
"When the other newspapers open, I'll buy another bicycle, if you're too busy to do it alone, you can ask the newspaper guy to help, no problem, right?"
"Absolutely."
Ah Xin nodded.
After all, he used to be a newsboy, and he had to go to the newspaper seller to get the newspaper at three or four o'clock in the morning every day.
These jobs are familiar to him.
"Work hard, perform well, and I'll give you a raise."
"Brother An, if you say so, then I will definitely arrange the filing properly and make sure you are satisfied."
Hearing the salary increase, Ah Xin smiled confidently and made a package ticket.
"You said it yourself. It's up to you to perform. ”
Li An couldn't help but smile and lowered his head to drink porridge.
During this period, Ang Lee learned about Wu Shihao's progress on other docks.
By the time a few people finished breakfast, many workers had already gone to work on the dock after reporting files.
Wu Shihao wiped the oil flowers from the corner of his mouth, said hello to Li An, and led the two Dawei brothers to get up and leave.
Out of the newspaper file, Wu Shihao, who was walking in front, did not look back and explained to Xiwei:
"Yesterday, Manager Liu said that his freighter was missing five crew members. Xiwei, when the workers go to work, I will first find five workers according to the list, and I will take them on the boat. ”
"Remember, be more experienced, it's the first time we've worked with Manager Liu, and we can't mess it up."
"Okay." Shi Wei nodded in response.
Dawei made words in private, and Wang Laoji's people came to the dock to make trouble and scrape people, and in the end, it was settled by Brother Li Anshi.
was already favored by others, and his brother also caused trouble, which made Wu Shihao feel guilty all the time.
What he can do now is to recklessly do what Ang Lee explained.
................
................
"Ah Xin, I'll go to the dock first."
After Wu Shihao and the others left, Li An helped in the newspaper again, and it was not until the start of construction that he said hello to Ah Xin and walked quickly to the dock.
Now, on the surface, his business is promising, and as long as it develops steadily, it can help him accumulate the first pot of gold.
On the dock, although the senior brother does not mix words, he has more than 300 coolies under his hands, and his skills are good.
Not to mention Brother Sheng, he will soon be able to take over his Uncle Chang's class at a young age.
But Ang Lee didn't relax at all.
Seriously speaking, no matter how many people there are under the hands of the senior brother, they are just ordinary people who are just trying to make ends meet, not a boy raised by the community.
Brother Sheng is the same, when the errand is to be grouped and assigned.
Now the powerful detective is mostly supported by fellow townsmen behind him.
As a Fujianese, even if Zhou Sheng took over Uncle Chang's class, he was still far inferior to those detectives.
Ang Lee was clear.
A few dozen or so newspapers, at most 10,000 yuan a month, for those rich guys, it is better for them to smuggle a shipload of goods to make money, so they naturally look down on it.
But if you open dozens of newspapers, you can expand in order to expand.
Newspaper files are opened in places with high foot traffic, and the combination of store stores and newspaper files in residential areas attracts customers and continues to expand!
Later, he relied on this and intervened in the entire retail market on Hong Kong Island.
Naturally, those rich guys with a keen sense of smell will not be blind.
As long as you perceive the blue ocean of the retail market, those guys will swarm like sharks that smell blood!
Naturally, I will not be stingy with a little Hong Kong paper to share this cake.
But even if it is to divide the cake, it depends on whether the person sitting around the table and eating the cake has the qualifications.
Especially in this mixed era, no rich guy is clean in his hands.
The essence of capital is a monopoly.
It doesn't matter if it's a club or a businessman.
What is the purpose of the community fighting for turf, fighting for life and death?
Is it just for that pitiful protection fee?
How much is that? Can there be a monopoly on the side business in the territory to make money?
The same goes for businessmen.
You don't see, when Li Cucumber was competing for the retail market, it was to suppress competitors.
The water and electricity were cut off from the retail stores in his property, and he did not allow competitors' delivery vehicles to enter the residential area of his property.
Rich people like to overwhelm people with power!
Without a background, Ang Lee wants to start from scratch, so he can only become powerful with martial arts!
As for the four Wu Shihao brothers.
At that time, the four brothers had just come to Hong Kong Island and had not eaten a meal for three days, and Ang Lee did invite them to eat out of kindness.
After all, it was dark, and Ang Lee didn't notice the looks of several people.
If Wu Shihao hadn't said his name, Ang Lee wouldn't have believed that the person he helped casually would be the lame man who would be famous on Hong Kong Island in the future.
arranged for the four brothers to come to work on the wharf, and gave them the house in Shek Kip Mei to live in, and gave them money.
Ang Lee admits that he is not a bad person, and it is naturally impossible to say that he has no selfishness.
Even in the movie Chasing the Dragon, Lei Luo, who is called a brother and brother to Wu Shihao, first befriended Wu Shihao because he liked the other party's courage to fight, and felt that this person would be useful in the future.
A fence and three piles.
Ang Lee treated Wu Shihao like this, in addition to liking the sentence he said about the millennium of winning people's favor and fruit, and wanted to make a friend.
Moreover, if Ang Lee wants to develop and grow in business in the future, it is naturally impossible without a few helpers.
And Wu Shihao, who has clear grievances and has received a lot of favors from him, is undoubtedly a rare candidate.

Li An carefully checked the goods and asked the organizer to arrange for the workers to load the goods.
Then he took a handwritten bill of goods and handed it to the man with a receding hairline beside him.
"Now, Boss Zhang, this is the bill for the goods, take a look."
"Andy, I don't have to worry about what you do, it's the same whether you look at the bill or not."
As the man spoke, he still took the bill, glanced at it roughly, and his eyes stayed on the weight of the goods for a moment before putting the bill into his handbag.
He took out a small wad of Hong Kong dollars from it and said with a smile:
"It's the payment."
"Then thank you, Boss Zhang."
Ang Lee collected the money and sent the small factory owner who produced ready-to-wear away.
After a busy afternoon, he was just about to go to rest when he saw Ah Xin running towards him from a distance.
Ang Lee stepped forward:
"Something?"
Ah Xin nodded, gasped and said:
"Brother An, there are military uniforms coming to the dock to collect the fees, and I am about to receive our report, and I don't know how much to pay the fees, and I am worried that those military uniforms are wide open, so..."
He scratched his head and looked at Ang Lee.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
