Chapter 57: Black Heart

On the other side, the Triangle Pier.

Wu Shihao followed behind a middle-aged man, and the two walked off the freighter one after the other along the gangplank.

As soon as he got off the boat, Wu Shihao handed a cigarette to the middle-aged, and then took out a few Hong Kong dollars and stuffed them into the other party's pocket, and said politely:

"Thank you Manager Liu for taking care of me."

The middle-aged man known as Manager Liu suddenly changed into a straight face, and said angrily:

"Hao, what do you mean by that?"

As he spoke, he was about to return the money he took out to Wu Shihao, but he was blocked by Wu Shihao, who was quick-eyed.

"It should. Manager Liu helped me introduce the shipowner manager, and I Wu Shihao kept it in mind, now that the business is negotiated, how can I let you work in vain, right! ”

Wu Shihao had a smile on his face.

"This is also a little bit of my heart, little meaning, please drink tea. If you don't accept it, won't it make people laugh at me Wu Shihao for not understanding the rules? ”

"Well, forget it this time!"

Manager Liu glanced at Wu Shihao, reluctantly accepted the money and put it back into his pocket.

Actually, I just saw that the crew you introduced last time was good, and the owner manager I knew happened to be short of people, so I found you. Not next time."

told Wu Shihao again, and then stopped.

"Next time."

Wu Shihao snorted.

For this Manager Liu's desire to welcome and refuse, he has long seen it.

But it's one thing to pretend to be the other party, but it's another thing to be incompetent.

As the owner manager of an ocean shipping company, I am mostly familiar with the owner manager of No. 5 Cargo Terminal, and with the introduction of the other party, I can reduce a lot of tongue-in-cheek.

There is a reward for paying.

Compared with taking out a part of the commission as a benefit fee, with the help of the other party, you will only earn more.

"Brother Hao, it's done?"

Manager Liu left satisfied, and Xi Wei, who was waiting on the side, came over.

"Hmm."

Wu Shihao nodded, and then beckoned, "Let's go." ”

The two men left Cargo Pier No. 5.

Wu Shihao lit a cigarette:

"It's almost time for dinner, I'm going to find Dawei and Ah Qi, I'll go to Brother Shui for some business."

"Okay."

Xi Wei answered.

The two parted, and he turned around and went to the No. 8 cargo dock to find Dawei and Dumb Seven.

Wu Shihao touched the Hong Kong dollar in his trouser pocket and went straight to Pier 2.

When I came to Pier No. 2, I looked around, and finally saw the Sanjiang water coming down from the freighter.

"Brother Shui." He shouted from afar and greeted him.

"Something?"

"Hmm." Wu Shihao nodded.

Sanjiangshui glanced at him and handed the account to Applejack next to him.

"Follow me."

The two came to the pergola and sat opposite each other.

"Brother Shui, this is yesterday's commission and this morning, one thousand six hundred and eighty yuan."

Without waiting for Sanjiangshui to ask, Wu Shihao took out the money from his trouser pocket and put it on the table.

He did not count the 300 yuan benefit fee given to Manager Liu, but paid out of his own pocket.

"So much."

Sanjiangshui glanced at Wu Shihao in surprise, if he remembered correctly, he could only take an order in two or three days on weekdays.

More than 1,600, a commission for three or four orders.

"Not much, I have been in contact with a lot of shipowner managers in the past few days, and it just so happened that Manager Liu of the ocean liner helped me introduce two shipowner managers who are ready to hire employees."

Wu Shihao explained.

"How much money did you give that Manager Liu?"

Sanjiangshui is also a human spirit, as soon as Wu Shihao mentioned Manager Liu's introduction, he knew that the other party must have introduced the fee to that Manager Liu.

The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit!

In this year, you have to be guaranteed to work part-time, and you must also pay a referral fee.

Wu Shihao has only been at the dock for about a month, and he has no relatives and no reason with that ghost Manager Liu, and there is no introduction fee, how can the other party be kind enough to help him introduce his employer.

"Not much, so I gave three hundred."

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Wu Shihao had to answer honestly.

Sanjiangshui smiled, counted six hundred and eighty yuan into his pocket, and put the remaining one thousand yuan in front of Wu Shihao.

"Na, I'll deduct three hundred yuan from the commission, one thousand three hundred and eight, I'll take six hundred and eight, and give the rest to you."

"It's too much."

Wu Shihao had the heart to refuse, and Sanjiangshui waved his hand and made a joke.

"Okay, I'll take it for you. Otherwise, Ah An found out and said that I don't take care of you. ”

"Thank you, Brother Shui."

Seeing that he couldn't excuse himself, Wu Shihao had to nod.

Sanjiangshui glanced at the workers on the dock who were finishing work and preparing to eat, and said:

"It's just time for dinner, you sit down for a while, eat here, I'll call Applejack to buy it."

"I'll go."

Wu Shihao hurriedly got up, and left first without waiting for Sanjiangshui to make a sound.

It's only less than half an hour.

Wu Shihao, Dawei, Xiwei, and Dumb Seven returned to the dock with the packed meals.

As soon as the four of them set the meal, Ang Lee pushed the bicycle back.

He looked at the meals that almost filled the table, and joked with a smile:

"What's the joy of doing it at the docks today!"

"You're blessed."

Sanjiangshui stood up, ready to step forward to help.

"You don't have to unload the goods, you'll have to pull it to the stall later."

Ang Lee just tightened the rope that was tied to the back seat.

"After a morning of shopping, I happened to be hungry."

He came to the pergola, clapped his hands, pulled over a stool, and sat down around the table.

took the chopsticks handed over by Wu Shihao and greeted:

"What are you still doing, come, eat, eat."

Everyone sat around and immediately started their chopsticks.

Li An sandwiched a piece of roast goose, took another bite of rice, and ate two bites into his stomach before he looked up and asked:

"Haven't you said anything happy today?"

Sanjiang didn't raise his head, he ate something in his mouth, and said vaguely:

"Ah Hao earns a lot of commissions, so he invited us to eat."

When Wu Shihao heard this, he stopped his chopsticks:

"What's the matter, I just see that there are a lot of people, so I buy more."

Before helping Sanjiangshui, Li An made it clear to him that if the employer and the worker were handled by him alone, then after signing the labor agreement, he could take 50% of the commission.

But he asked Manager Liu to help deal with these employers, so it stands to reason that the 300 yuan benefit fee given to Manager Liu should be paid by him.

But Sanjiangshui insisted on deducting the money from the commission.

Although he understood that the other party had good intentions, Wu Shihao was also a little reluctant to go.

Just take this opportunity to buy more meals, which is a little bit of your own heart.

Everyone ate and chatted at the same time.

Halfway through the meal, an inopportune voice suddenly came.

"Wow, Brother Shui. Do you eat such hearty food on a daily basis? If those coolies see it, I don't think Brother Shui how much salary you have deducted from them! ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help frowning.

Looking up at the voice, a young man with a perverse expression and a tight shirt walked towards the pergola.

Behind him were about twenty horses with fierce expressions.

"It turned out to be you, Hei Xinhua, what's the matter with you bringing so many people to me."

Sanjiangshui just glanced at the young man who was talking, and then lowered his head to eat unhurriedly.

has been on the dock for so many years, and he is naturally familiar with this snake head of Liangongle.

Hei Xinhua stayed on everyone's faces for a moment, glanced at the pergola again, and sat down with a stool by himself.

"Brother Shui, you have a good meal. I wasn't so lucky, for the sake of my brothers, I didn't eat a bite of breakfast, and I'm hungry until now. ”

"Otherwise, I'll deal with it in Brother Shui."

"I'm sorry, I don't like to sit and eat with people from the club."

Sanjiang Water is not salty or light, and there is not even a little perfunctory meaning.

"Since Brother Shui doesn't like it, forget it."

Hearing this, Hei Xinhua didn't care.

His gaze stayed on Sanjiangshui and heyed.

"I'll just say it bluntly, no matter how wrong Ah Biao is, Brother Shui, you can fight it, and the anger should be gone. I'm the big brother, and according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, the matter will pass.

Everyone eats at the dock, and they don't look up to see each other, and I know that you don't want to mess with me.

In this way, Brother Shui said hello to Li Zhengtao from the errand hall and released Ah Biao.

In this way, everyone can get by! Otherwise"

Sanjiangshui interrupted Hei Xinhua's words, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and wiped the oil flowers on the corner of his mouth:

"Or what?"

Hei Xinhua stared at Sanjiangshui, spread his hands, and said word by word:

"If Brother Shui doesn't even agree to such a thing, then make it clear that the carriage and horses are clear."

"Scare me!"

Sanjiangshui smiled, turned to a smile, and slowly shook his head.

"Speak clearly, if you tell me the rules of martial arts, I can still listen to two sentences. Talking about the rules of the rivers and lakes, I'm sorry, I'm not a mixed club. ”

"Brother Shui, listen to what you mean, you don't have to talk about it."

Hei Xinhua smiled angrily, and his face was gloomy.

As soon as his words landed, the more than twenty fierce-eyed horses he brought with him suddenly stepped forward.

At the same time, the four Wu Shihao brothers sitting at the table stood up without showing weakness, and reached out to grab the stool under their buttocks.

Sanjiangshui patted Wu Shihao's arm and motioned for the other party to sit down.

Then he looked at Hei Xinhua indifferently:

"No one is here with me, how can I talk about it? I'm not the governor of Hong Kong, and the guy arrested you, and you let me say, are you stupid?! ”

He paused:

"As I have said, if you want to find trouble, I don't mind letting you go into the sea to feed the fish."

Hei Xinhua raised his eyes and stared at Sanjiangshui like this, and did not speak.

There was a hint of rivalry between the two sides.

Affected by the two of them, the scene gradually fell silent.

Except for the hustle and bustle of the pier and the sound of the waves in the distance, no one in the field spoke.

Li An just glanced at Hei Xinhua carefully, then stopped paying attention and ate quietly.

Now it is Sanjiangshui's home field, and he has not come out.

It took a while for the silence of the scene to be broken.

"Okay, since Brother Shui has said so, let's go and see."

Hei Xinhua stood up suddenly, dropped such a sentence, led a group of horses, and walked away.

Without waiting for the other party's back to leave sight, Sanjiangshui stood up casually and greeted everyone.

"Don't let that guy spoil your mood. Come, eat, it's a pity not to waste such a sumptuous dish. ”

Everyone seemed to be infected by Sanjiangshui's words, relaxed, and did not talk about Hei Xinhua, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks to eat.

Finish a meal.

Wu Shihao first got up to help clean up the messy table, called Ang Lee aside, and took out Hong Kong dollars from his pocket.

"You borrowed some money from me last time, and you made some money in the past two days, so I'll pay you back now."

Li An stretched out his hand to push it back, and said with a smile:

"Didn't you say last time that you earned money to take your sister-in-law over, how can you do it if you don't have money, you take the money first.

I inquired, the 200-square-foot house in Yau Ma Tei is less than 5,000 yuan, save more money to buy a larger one, and then I will have a place to live if I take my sister-in-law over.

You don't want your wife and children to live with you in the walled city. ”

Wu Shihao looked at Li An for a while, smiled and nodded:

"Listen to you."

He didn't insist.

Because, from the beginning of accepting Ang Lee's help, the kindness he owes is not a matter of this money.

"Let's go, you brothers are here, help me move things to the stall, and set up the stall first."

Ang Lee patted him on the shoulder.

"Okay."

Wu Shihao turned back to the pergola, called out to his brother, and walked to the warehouse on the dock.

After a while, the four of them came out of the warehouse carrying the timber used to make the springboard.

Leave the dock.

Ang Lee pushed his bicycle and walked in front, and Wu Shihao stepped forward and said to him:

"I don't think that black heart Hua will give up, do you want to remind Brother Shui."

"My brother knows. These days, you just need to keep your own snacks. ”

Ang Lee just explained to Wu Shihao.

Sanjiang Water can gain a firm foothold at the wharf, and there will be no shortage of people in these communities.

Since he hated Hei Xinhua in front of him, he naturally knew it.

"Hmm."

Wu Shihao nodded, and immediately relieved.

When passing by the file, Ang Lee called the five new guys, and the group carried their things and walked to the stall of Pier 5.

It is easy to do things with many people, ten people act separately, and five people are responsible for one stall.

Set up the frame with wood, cover it with a thick tarpaulin, and secure it.

In just over two minutes, two simple newsstands were set up.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li An sorted out the new newspaper file, and just rested for a while, he saw He Yi walking quickly.

Approaching, he glanced at the newspaper file.

"I just went to Pier 2, and the guy you reported said you were here."

"Brother Yi, do you have something to do with me?"

"The filing license has been completed."

Ho Yi handed over two fixed booth licences with Ang Lee's name written on them.

Although Ang Lee was a little surprised by the other party's benefits, he didn't show it on his face.

He quietly took the license plate and put it in Wu Shihao's hand, and took out eight 100 Hong Kong dollars.

"Thank you Brother Yi, this is what I said before."

He Yi was still thinking about asking Li An to help with the connection in the future, so he hurriedly excused himself and said:

"Andy, everyone is a fellow villager, don't be so polite, just give me four hundred yuan, I don't need it."

Ang Lee couldn't help but stuff the Hong Kong dollar into He Yi's pocket.

"It's not just bothering Brother Yi once, waiting for the dock's filing to open, and after a while, I have to trouble Brother Yi to help me find a stall in the north and south. If you refuse, I'll be too embarrassed to ask you for help next time. ”

"Okay."

The words have come to this point, seeing that he can't refuse, He Yi hesitantly touched the banknote through his clothes, and finally had to nod in agreement.

A few simple greetings.

After seeing He Yi leave, Li An returned to the report file at Pier 2 and arranged for Ah Xin to buy the goods.

Now that the licenses of the two new newspapers have come down, it is natural to prepare for opening as soon as possible.
