When he returned to Qixingli, Mu Tian saw that the lights in the pavilion were on but no one was there. Knowing that Jin Hu and Hu Ti were drinking on the platform, he went straight up.
I don't want Yingzi to be here.
When Jin Hu saw Mu Tian coming, he came down from the wall, bowed to Mu Tian, said goodbye to Hu Ti and Yingzi, and went downstairs.
Mu Tian rode up the wall and asked Hu Ti how his day was.
Hu Ti said, "It's still like that, nothing good to say."
Mu Tian said: "I'll give you a job and let you earn some money."
Hu Ti knew Mu Tian's virtue, so he said, "If you have anything to do, just ask, brother, help me, how much money can I ask for?" Even so, he was still a little concerned about Mu Tian's condescending manner that he was increasingly looking up to.
Yingzi also heard Hu Ti's voiceover, "It's just that asking for money hurts feelings. It's hypocritical."
"Little brats know what hypocrisy is. Those who lie about their feelings and visions all day long and work for free are hypocritical. Didn't you go home crying and go to sleep? Why are you drinking and chatting here? Isn't this also hypocritical?
?" Mu Tian grabbed the white man with a gun and a stick.
"I want to sleep, but you asked General Jin to wait here. You can't just wait. Why is it nonsense and hypocrisy for me and Brother Hu to chat with him?" Yingzi refused to give up at all.
"Okay, okay, no hypocrisy, no nonsense, go to bed now, your brother Hu and I have important things to talk about." Mu Tian said softly.
"I don't. I don't talk, can't I just listen? I haven't heard anything important about you today? I've also helped you a lot? You can't use people to go forward and don't use people to go behind, right?
Brother Hu." Yingzi pretended to be aggrieved, and finally put on an angry expression towards Hu Ti.
"Tell me, Yingzi is not an outsider. She is smart, and maybe she has some good ideas." Hu Ti said to Mu Tian.
Mu Tian was speechless for a moment.
Yingzi, "That's right, Brother Hu understands me. I'll pour you wine first."
As he said that, he held the wine jar and poured wine for them.
Mu Tian looked at Hu Ti helplessly, and Hu Ti waved his hand, meaning don't worry about it.
"Let me ask you something," Mu Tian said to Hu Ti, and then handed the wine bowl to Hu Ti.
"Ask me?" Hu Ti was surprised. He raised the bowl to signal, took a sip himself, and handed the cup to Mu Tian.
Mu Tian took the bowl but didn't drink it, "You go to the streets to collect protection fees, so how come those vendors set up stalls right there? I mean, how did they get that space on the street?
"Mutian looked very puzzled and eager to know.
"That's easy, just grab it."
"Rob?"
"Yes, it's just grabbing. You see, if it's a new place, it's first come, first served. If you occupy it for a few days and it's not snatched away by others, you can go to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau to get a photo and write down the location where you occupied it.
, that’s it. If you can’t occupy it, go to the Ministry of Industry Bureau to get a license, and that place belongs to them. If there is a dispute or something, the patrol will have to take care of it. Itinerant vendors also have territories.
, but there is no fixed license, you are only allowed to do business, and the territory is agreed by convention. Generally, they keep their affairs in check. If it weren’t for that, they would still have ours.” Hu Ti talked eloquently, with a confident tone in his words.
contented.
"Do all those small traders and hawkers want to have a stall or something?"
"Of course, having a fixed place to protect you from wind and rain will also make it easier to accumulate customers and form a brand."
"That's good. In this way, after Hengxiang opens, it will definitely boost the business of the small merchants and hawkers in the surrounding streets. Today I noticed that there are many new faces. I guess they are the first-come, first-served people you mentioned. That's it.
, we will organize some small traders and hawkers to go there tomorrow to grab the land, and grab every one we see."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, it's too cruel to rob anyone you see. What do patrolmen do for food?" Hu Ti interrupted.
"Listen to what I'm saying. I took a look and it's probably the wonton stall at the entrance of the first alley on the west side that has a license. Most of the rest are new arrivals in the past two days. I'll take care of the patrolling. You won't be there when you go.
There will be patrols. Everyone who participates in the land grab will be given three oceans each, only for tomorrow. You see, if your brothers grab it, they will transfer it to the vendors in need for a fee, and then take their protection.
Fei, isn’t this a sustainable business?”
When Mu Tian saw Hu Ti pondering, he added, "It's just tomorrow. If you can't get it, all three oceans will belong to him."
"It sounds like there's something wrong with this job, but it's indeed a good business. At least it's a business without capital. Okay, I can help you with this. Where's the money? I don't have that much money to give you in advance."
"Hey, you're waking up early and working late at night in Taishan these days without making any money?"
"I've earned a lot. It's not much. I've saved it all. Didn't you say you want to pick up your mother and come to Shanghai to reunite with your second mother?"
Mu Tian felt sad for a while, bit his lip and said, "About how many people can you get?"
"It's easy for a hundred or so people."
"Well, okay then. Let's take a hundred people and form a group of ten. There will be two brothers from the Taishan Society in each group to avoid encountering difficulties. Each brother from the Taishan Society will cost five dollars. Tomorrow morning
Let's gather in front of Guangji Hospital. Yingzi, aren't you going to Guangde Hospital to see that guy? You go to the detective agency first to get some money and send it over. Give me one dollar first, and then pay the rest when you're done."
Yingzi responded: "I know. But I think..."
Mu Tian knew what she was going to say, so he interrupted her and said, "I don't want you to feel it, I want me to feel it. That's it."
Yingzi made a face at Hu Ti, "The boss is the boss."
Hu Ti said a little worriedly, "This is not a small matter. Do you want to report it to Wang Dabin and let it go?"
"I don't quite understand what's going on in your meeting. It's up to you." Mu Tian pondered for a moment and said.
"I'll give it a try. He seems to be very busy recently. He is coordinating with brothers from other branches to discuss the reform of the gang. He said that he must keep up with the times and break the past framework. The core is to earn all the money he can and grow stronger.
The Taishan Club seems to have a very tense situation with the old helmsman. I heard from the brothers in the club that he wants to leave." After Hu Ti spoke, he looked very mysterious and his tone became much lower.
"Walk the earth?" Mu Tian couldn't help but repeat.
"That's right, the old helmsman disagreed, saying that he broke the ancestral rules. The two of them are almost incompatible now." Hu Ti said still mysteriously.
"This matter is getting complicated. Something big may happen to your Taishan Society. Don't mess with it. If you can't, come to my detective agency. It's great for brothers to be together." Mu Tian lost no time in persuading.
"Let's forget about the detective agency. I've already said the reason. For now, let's do it ourselves. This is not a big deal in the Taishan Association." Hu Ti pondered for a moment and said to Mu Tian
said.
"Okay, I'm so happy that you can make up your mind. Even though you just mentioned the matter of aunt and mother, I think it's time to consider bringing them to Shanghai. After all, we can be considered here. Have you thought about it? Recently
Go back and pick up my mother and the others."
"Am I going back alone?" Hu Ti was obviously dissatisfied with Mu Tian's arrangement.
"I want more time to make sure we go back together. But... let's go to bed first. Let's wait for two days to see how the things in front of us go."
