Sheung Wan, at the end of Bonham Street East, is just at the end of the north-south line.

The transportation is convenient, the population is dense, and the tea house restaurants, sparrow houses, and song and dance halls are overwhelming.

Fat Bo Lao's eyes swept over the shops on both sides, leading the two horses, and walked straight forward without stopping.

After a few moments, he finally stopped.

Glancing at the signboard of the Huaji Sparrow Pavilion on the door, the fat boy pushed the door open.

Because it is close to the north-south line, there are mostly small vendor owners, and although it is only noon, more than ten mahjong tables in the Sparrow Pavilion are still full.

Under the incandescent light, the hall is full of smoke, the sound of mahjong collision is endless, and the card table is from time to time to sound a low curse, some eyebrows are dancing, and some people are gritting their teeth.

"Bogo."

A horse boy who was watching the sparrow pavilion saw the fat boy and his party and walked up quickly.

"Oh, where is Brother Hua?" The fat boy nodded, looked around, and asked the horse boy in front of him.

"Upstairs." Ma Tsai pouted at the narrow wooden staircase on the right.

"I'll go up to Brother Hua first."

Fat Bo Guy informed.

Turning his head and looking at the two horses following him: "I'll go up alone, and you guys will wait down here." ”

Fat Bo Lao walked up the narrow wooden ladder alone.

As soon as I walked to the corner of the stairs, the low laughter of men and women faintly came into my ears.

Fat Bo Guy got used to it and came upstairs. At a glance, I saw Hei Xinhua sitting on the single sofa and the woman kneeling on the ground and working hard.

He was not surprised, neither shy away nor silent, but just waited quietly.

After waiting for a while, Hei Xinhua, who was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed, suddenly shuddered.

He gasped and opened his eyes to glance at the fat bobs standing at the stairs.

Then he bowed his head and said to the woman:

"You go down first."

The woman didn't speak, just pulled the floral suspenders that had fallen to the crook of her arm back to her shoulders, covering the scenery on her chest, and then got up.

Then, she wiped the corners of her mouth casually, and with a click, Shi Shiran walked towards the stairs, and before going downstairs, she threw an eyebrow at the fat guy next to her.

Hei Xinhua stood up and put on his pants, went to the table next to him, pulled out a chair and sat down.

The fat borough then stepped forward and placed a leather envelope on the table.

"Brother Hua, this is the money on the dock last month."

Hei Xinhua opened the envelope, took a general look at the thick pile of Hong Kong dollars inside, and nodded with satisfaction.

"There will be two ships arriving at the dock in the early morning, you keep an eye on it, as soon as the boat arrives, let those people and snakes leave quickly, don't let the military uniforms patrolling the dock see it, and there are branches."

"I know Brother Hua." The fat boy nodded, and then said, "Also, I have warned Wu Shihao according to your instructions and asked them not to go back to Pier 6. ”

Hei Xinhua knocked on the table: "Did Sanjiangshui come forward?" ”

"That's not true, after Wu Shihao left on the street, they didn't come to Pier 6."

The fat boob shook his head, was silent for a while, and still spoke:

"Brother Hua. Since the water of the three rivers has lost the face of our Liangongle, let's directly show the carriage and horses!

Just not allowing Wu Shihao and them to do business at Pier 6, will people laugh at us for not daring! ”

"Lay out the carriage and horses?" Hei Xinhua snorted: "You go!" ”

"Brother Hua, if you give me a hundred people, I will have no problem feeding the fish in Sanjiang water."

The fat borough guy took the words, and his tone was vicious.

"A hundred? I'm afraid that as soon as you go to the second pier, you will be thrown into the sea, really when the group of coolies under the sailors of Sanjiang is an ornament? ”

Hei Xinhua glanced at the fat boy, and said without being salty:

"Also, you have to use your brains to do things! Wouldn't it be better for people to laugh at us for not daring, so that he can let his guard down. ”

"Let your guard down?" Fat Bo Lao was stunned.

"Alright." Hei Xinhua waved his hand and said:

"Don't ask so much, you can go back to the docks and do your own thing."

In the afternoon, the sun sets in the west. When it was about to end, Wu Shihao came to the newspaper with five young people.

"A'an, I brought the guy you wanted."

"What did you do in the newspaper file and did you tell them?" Ang Lee asked casually.

"I said it when I was hiring." Wu Shihao responded.

"That's good."

Li An nodded, then looked at the five people in front of him, and said straight to the point:

"Sixty salaries per month, two days off, if it's okay, you can stay."

"No problem boss."

The five of them nodded one after another, Ang Li's boss offered a salary that was not low, and a few people naturally had no opinions.

"It's not too early, you go back first, and come early tomorrow morning to start work."

Li An said with a smile.

The existing six guys at the dock are temporarily sufficient, and the five guys newly recruited are counted as early training.

Li An planned to wait for the dock to stabilize the file, and strike while the iron was hot to open two newspaper files in the northbound and northbound.

After being busy for nearly a day, he also went to learn about the sales of today's newly opened newspaper file.

As expected, business was okay.

Li An roughly estimated that the profit of the two new newspapers today is about 12 to 13 a day.

Calculated in this way, plus the daily profit of nearly 150 yuan from this newspaper at Pier 2, three newspapers can earn about 2,800 yuan in seven days.

It can be used as the start-up capital for the two reports of the north and south lines!

And after seven days, these newly recruited guys can also be proficient in the work of registering files, which just comes in handy.

See these guys who are newly recruited leaving.

Li An took two bottles of soda, walked out of the newspaper file with Wu Shihao, and talked about business on the side.

"When you're done, you go and contact your fellow villagers."

"Among them, those fellow villagers who are not afraid of things and dare to fight, you can pay attention to them.

When the wharf starts, you can arrange for them to do relatively easy and high-paying work such as organizing and taking inventory. ”

"I see."

Wu Shihao probably understood what Li An meant when he heard it, and nodded in response.

There are many docks, and it is common for foremen to fight for goods.

In case of real trouble, with these fellow villagers who dare to fight, the rest of the workers will not be scattered.

Ang Lee also smiled and patted Wu Shihao's shoulder.

Condescendingly, looking at the busy wharf not far away and the large number of freighters docked, he said softly:

"Although there are a lot of opportunities to make money these years, they are also mixed and reckless!"

"You are just doing a serious business, no one has no background, and you will also be restrained everywhere."

"Fists are the last word! To be honest, even if there is no such thing as Liangongle, I am ready to wait for the broker business to stabilize and find an opportunity to meddle in the affairs on the dock. ”

"If you have a job and money to earn, there will naturally be people who will follow you to do things."

"So, it doesn't matter how much you earn at the docks, you have to make money for the people who eat with you. Remember, it's all about winning people's hearts! ”

Ang Lee said this without hesitation.

Wu Shihao just listened quietly.
