Hong Kong variety show: Starting from helping Mr. Fok run ships

Chapter 63: The Chaotic Battle in the Martial World Escalates!

"Don't worry, Brother Hao, everything is arranged. The brothers down below will not utter a single word."

Ai Wu assured Zhang Guohao.

"Alright, just a few more reminders, I'll go talk to the boss."

Cheung Kwok-ho took out the handkerchief that Hong Sang had embroidered for him, intending to wipe his face, but looking at the handkerchief, he seemed a little regretful and put it back.

Boss Huo stayed in a wooden shack on the dock, busy settling accounts with two accountants.

"Boss, it's all taken care of. This guy from Xinji is clever enough, but his methods are terrible. He made us look like dirt. There's already a lot of dirt on the dock, and then he threw up so much sand."

Zhang Guohao walked in, washed his face with the basin of water in the room, and felt much better afterward.

"Haha, these people have some strange tricks up their sleeves. This has solved one of our problems, and at least we can have a few days of peace."

Boss Huo laughed heartily. No matter what, this charade was over, and Xinji had given an account in all aspects. They could have a few days of peace as they could.

"Let the brothers go out in half an hour. The Xinji gang has already come to cause trouble, so we need to clean up the mess."

"That's what Boss Huo continued."

"I understand, I'll arrange it right away."

Zhang Guohao nodded and walked out again.

……

News of the Xinji gang's disturbance quickly spread throughout the underworld. At the same time, news that Fu Yixing's men had joined the Number Gang in a chaotic battle with other gangs also reached the underworld.

"So, the New Journalists have also received orders to take action against Boss Huo? They're quite obedient."

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The New Reporter's men stormed into the dock in droves, and they were driven out in less than ten minutes!"

"Yes, I saw it too. The fight was incredibly brutal, dust was flying everywhere, you couldn't even see anyone!"

"I think Boss Huo's days are numbered. Look, there's always someone causing trouble."

"I don't think so. None of the gangs, such as Xinji, the Number Gang, Dongfuhe, and He'anle, have benefited from Boss Huo's influence. So who would dare to cause trouble for Boss Huo? They would have to think twice before taking action."

"It's not just Boss Huo's place that's in trouble. Have you heard? Fu Yixing has also made their move, seizing several venues from Dongfu!"

"Sigh, Fu Yixing and Dong Fuhe are fighting, what's so surprising about that? It would be strange if they didn't!"

"That's right. When Dong Fuhe started fighting with the Number Gang, I said that Fu Yixing would have to make a move sooner or later. They're mortal enemies with Dong Fuhe!"

"These scoundrels! If they're going to fight, why don't they find a secluded spot? They have to fight right here where we're working, ruining our business!"

"Well, what can you do when they have a knife?"

"So what if I have a knife? Back in the day, I was carrying a machine gun!"

"Don't even mention the past; we've been reduced to manual labor by now, what's the point of talking about the past!"

"Hmph, if they push me too far, I'll get my old friends to help me wipe them out!"

There are all sorts of rumors circulating in the underworld, but the hardest-hit are the ordinary people. It's not easy for them to get three full meals a day, but once these gangs start fighting, they really have nowhere to eat.

It probably won't be long before the foreigners put pressure on those bosses and police officers to force these people to return to normal life.

……

Zhang Guohao didn't care much about the affairs of the underworld. After seeing that everything was over, he went home, freshened up, took a two-hour nap, and then went to a restaurant at noon.

The restaurant has been under renovation for the past few days, and all the men in the Zhang family, except for Zhang Guohao, are busy with it.

"You're pretty quick."

Looking at the restaurant, which was almost completely demolished, Zhang Guohao sighed.

"That's right, we're willing to spend money. In less than half a month, the whole restaurant will be completely transformed. Third brother, you've picked a really good location. I took a look, and there are a lot of northerners around, and there aren't many big restaurants nearby."

"If we open a restaurant here, it'll be the only one serving scorpion cakes. As long as the food is up to standard, we can handle all the weddings and funerals in these streets!"

Zhang Qingyang said to Zhang Guohao.

"Dad, is Liu San still any good?"

Zhang Guohao then asked, "At first, Zhang Guohao kept Ai Wu here to help for two days, and then he called Liu San over to help find a construction team and purchase materials."

"That kid is really clever, even with the money, he's quite clever."

Zhang Qingyang glanced at Zhang Guohao and said quietly.

"Then what do you say, how about keeping him around as our frontline support? He's not only smart, but also quite clever, and he knows Hong Kong better than we do."

Zhang Guohao said that he actually found Liu San quite useful.

Liu San came to Hong Kong Island earlier and has indeed built up a good network of contacts and resources. If he can really poach people from there, his business will definitely be secure.

"You're dreaming. I've talked to him a few times. That kid makes a lot of money. I heard you even helped him out with some sales targets? We don't have that much money to hire him."

Zhang Qingyang glanced at Zhang Guohao and said irritably.

Liu San now has the backing of the largest Northern-style bathhouse on Hong Kong Island, earning at least two hundred dollars a month. Zhang's restaurant can't afford to hire this kid right now.

"And it's completely unnecessary. We need to win over the residents of the nearest few streets first. We don't need to do business on the entire Hong Kong Island, nor do we have the capability."

"So, just give Liu San twenty or thirty yuan a month and let him help with the promotion. You have to eat one bite at a time; don't bite off more than you can chew."

"Let the second-in-command handle the support work at the front."

Zhang Guoying walked over, wiped his glasses, and said...

"You want me to work as a waiter again? I'm a lawyer who's going to be a great lawyer. Now you're making me do manual labor, carrying lumber, doing manual labor again. You're not being respectful to me."

Zhang Guoxiong came over, picked up the kettle, took a big gulp of water, and said...

"Anyway, you don't have a job right now. If you don't want to go without pocket money, then you can quit. It will take you at least a year and a half to pass the bar exam."

Zhang Guoying said that he was very adept at tricking his younger brother.

"Second Brother, I didn't expect you to be such a jack-of-all-trades. Thank you for your hard work. Once we've grown bigger and stronger, we'll bring Liu San over to replace you!"

Seeing that everyone was saying the same thing, Zhang Guohao stopped talking.

"Third brother, why are you here instead of sleeping?"

Zhang Guoxiong asked Zhang Guohao, who was already accepting the idea of ​​working as a shop assistant here, given that the Zhang family was currently facing financial difficulties.

"I was just thinking of starting a side hustle, so I'm interviewing a few people here."

Zhang Guohao said with a smile, "The restaurant won't make money for a while. I have to pay my share of the profits from running the ship in installments. If I want to buy a restaurant, I need to find a way to make more money!"
