Chapter 14 Times have changed
"Hey, it's better to leave the two of them alone to chat. Come sit here and have a drink together."
Xiang Shihao saw Huo Wei and Qixi preparing to enter Yu Zhaohan's ward with Sheng Jiashu, and stopped them.
Hao Wei hesitated for a moment, and finally listened to Xiang Shihao's words and left the entire room to Sheng Jiashu and Yu Zhaohan.
Yu Zhaohan was supported back to the hospital bed by Jiao Poying, and waved his hand towards Jiao Poying: "You go out first, I will have a few words with A Xie."
Jiao Boying did not respond and walked out of the room. Sheng Jiashu looked at the simple ward, and finally carefully pulled a folding stool and sat beside Yu Zhaohan's bed:
"Third uncle, are you seriously injured?"
"Thanks to these years of practicing boxing, although I have lost some vitality, it is not a serious problem." Yu Zhaohan looked at Sheng Jiashu: "If you don't come to see me, I have to see you tonight, but I am very happy that you took the initiative to come."
"Third uncle, I came here to tell you two things. The first thing is that you were shot and I have nothing to do with it. The second thing is that I am not interested in being the leader of Heshengtang. If you want to be the leader, I support you." Sheng Jiashu said from
He took out the cigarette case from his pocket, shook out two cigarettes and lit them in his mouth. He handed one to Yu Zhaohan and said in a positive tone.
Yu Zhaohan held a cigarette and puffed out the smoke: "Heshengtang belongs to your Sheng family, and the Sheng family has great power. If you leave it to me, an outsider, are you willing to do it? Even if you are willing to do it, will the old guys in the gang be willing to do it?"
"
"Of course I am willing to do it, whether it is doing business, finding a legitimate job, or even doing nothing, just being a charterer, it is more comfortable than being a fearful leader all day long. I have seen this since I was a child.
My father was surrounded by people, and it was a majestic scene. But I also saw my father go out all night and not come home, and my mother stayed up all night chanting sutras and praying to the Buddha statue. I also saw my eldest brother, the well-known prince brother in the world, fall into the trap.
Six knives, bandaged like a mummy and carried home. Since I have seen this kind of scene too many times, why choose such a dangerous path? I am different from my father and brother. They have no choice. I can still choose now.
." Sheng Jiashu stared at the cigarette in his hand and said in a sad tone: "So, after I learned about the accident at home, I made up my mind that I was not going to be the leader of Heshengtang. I would not care who could do it.
will do."
Yu Zhaohan chuckled: "If you don't do it, it's not up to you."
"Uncle, I'll take care of it." Sheng Jiashu looked at Yu Zhaohan and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.
Yu Zhaohan stared at Sheng Jiashu: "To make me believe that they are willing to listen to you, it is better to make me believe that the sun emerges from the west."
"If you, third uncle, become the leader, what will Heshengtang look like?" Sheng Jiashu did not continue to argue with Yu Zhaohan about whether those uncles believed in him or not, but asked a question.
Yu Zhaohan was stunned for a moment, then considered his thoughts, and then slowly spoke: "When I became the leader, the first thing I did was to help the association to open more streets, open more large stalls, strengthen its strength, and polish it.
He Sheng Tang's signature, 2, can also be regarded as the new leader taking office, opening up territory for the association."
"That means that when you sit on the dragon's head, you have to make enemies first?" Sheng Jiashu flicked the ashes of his cigarette and asked.
Yu Zhaohan puffed out a puff of smoke from his mouth: "It has always been like this. The rules of the world, the new leader is in charge, how can you not make some noise? Even if you want to act like a dead dog, the uncles in the club will not let you be quiet, they will force you
To do something, if you want to convince the public, you have to give credit. That damn old man of mine fought with Brother Sheng all his life, and finally died in the hands of Brother Sheng. What was the reason? It was because he was respectfully called uncle by Brother Sheng at that time.
, but the brothers below only obeyed Brother Sheng. Even when He was recruiting these fish guys, he only said to Brother Sheng that he was allowed to choose one word to speak.
I praise Brother Sheng instead of my father. Isn’t it because when the Chaozhou gang went to Cheung Chau Island to steal the fish market business, it was Brother Sheng who personally led the gang to repel them and make the whole Cheung Chau Island uniform?
In the world of martial arts, one has to fight for one's life to gain status."
"Isn't it supposed to be for making money?" Sheng Jiashu scratched his face with his hand, and said in a curious tone: "Isn't fighting life and death just for making money? If you don't have to fight life and death, you can make money, third uncle, are you willing to do it?
?”
"How can such a good thing happen? We are not those rich people. Many people in the world can't even write their own names. Those who can read a few words in the newspaper can be praised and praised by the public. Without this,
Are you trying your best to make money with your useless brain? Are they all going to sell fish eggs on the street?" Yu Zhaohan couldn't help laughing at the end, and then he immediately touched the wound and took another breath of air.
Sheng Jiashu looked at Yu Zhaohan: "Third Uncle, if I were to be the leader, first of all, I would cleanse a group of useless people, and then streamline the hall. Before, Heshengtang divided the halls according to regions. In the future, Heshengtang will divide the halls according to the existing ones.
Divide the four main businesses and select four big bosses. Some are responsible for the Zihuadang Casino business, some are responsible for the opium den business, some are responsible for the wine curtain tour guide business, and some are responsible for the loan business of large and small pawn shops. These four
Each hall can retain up to fifty brothers, but I will hire a secretary for each big brother, which is what you call a secretary, who understands English, law, and finance. The big brother of each hall
He understands what the elders don’t understand, and what the subordinates in each hall don’t understand, he understands. These four ministers and four hall bosses, plus the nine leaders, form the elders’ meeting of the society, which meets regularly. According to each
Zhou's business report identifies problems and solves them, or any new business emerges on the market, or any new conflicts with other societies, all are discussed and decided by the elders' meeting. The hall does not need to pay monthly, every money received
All the money is deposited into the bank account designated by the society at any time by Jishu. Everyone in the society receives their salary on a fixed date every month, including the leader, who has 20,000 yuan per month, the boss and the head of the society each receive 10,000 yuan, and the elders will
At the end of each year, members enjoy dividends from the profits made by the society. As for other retained members of the society, they receive 5,000 yuan per month. As long as they work hard, they will continue to be promoted in the future. As long as a member has entered the society's elders' meeting, he is a lifelong veteran of the society and will live and die in the future.
The funeral expenses should be paid and the society will be responsible for the expenses."
"Are you kidding?" Yu Zhaohan listened attentively at first, but when he heard that there were only fifty brothers in each hall, he curled his lips in disapproval, but finally did not interrupt Sheng Jiashu, and waited for Sheng Jiashu to finish speaking before he said
: "Fifty brothers come to the territory with other names to plant flags, how can we just rely on fifty people to fight back?"
"Borrowing troops?" Sheng Jiashu asked back: "Part of the money earned by the four members of the club will be used to borrow troops from the rivers and lakes. The fifty brothers will be trained by you as your confidant and right-hand man, and used to grow branches."
Scatter leaves and expand your business. As long as you have money, you can leave the life-and-death work to people from other societies."
"Do you rely on people with other prefixes to help you run your own business?" Yu Zhaohan rubbed his chin and said, "Forget it, you'd better concentrate on your legitimate business. This is not how you run a society. A society with hundreds of people, just one person
I will be afraid of you."
"What a fool! Cough cough cough..." Hua Liulong's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. He pushed the wheelchair and opened the door. Although his face was pale, his eyes were shining: "If Huo Niu doesn't do it, I will. A Xie, you have
If you are not interested in joining the full prefix, within two years, I will give you a seat in the restaurant!"
"Are you eavesdropping?" Yu Zhaohan looked at Hua Liulong and said in a bad tone: "This is Lao Huo's family matter. You don't understand the rules, do you?"
"I was passing by Qi Diao and heard a few words." Hua Liulong ignored Yu Zhaohan, but stared at Sheng Jiashu and continued to ask: "Hey, A Xie, I am Hua Liulong, a good brother of Huo Niu, and I am with your father Sihai Ge
We have been friends for many years, and our relationship with your eldest brother, the prince, is so good that we have nothing to say..."
Sheng Jiashu lowered his head and smiled: "Brother Long, that's not what I heard. It seems that you and my elder brother have fought many times."
"Fighting and scolding are love. We can jointly open a gambling stall. Although we fall out later, the friendship is still there. It's just that the younger brothers don't like each other." Hua Liulong stared at Sheng Jiashu with longing eyes: "Blind Qiu will die in your hands.
I don’t think this incident has ever happened, so don’t be too stingy, right?”
"Blind Qiu... Blind Qiu died at the hands of A Xie?" Yu Zhaohan coughed violently twice after hearing Hua Liulong's words and asked in disbelief.
Blind Qiu is Hua Liulong's right-hand man. Yu Zhaohan has seen him many times. He is extremely powerful in martial arts. Although he does not have a big identity yet, everyone who knows Blind Qiu believes that this guy will rise to power sooner or later and gain a reputation as a red stick. Now
Hua Liulong actually said that Blind Qiu died in the hands of Sheng Jiashu?
Hua Liulong didn't take it seriously: "Of course it's true. He deserved to be burned alive with sulfuric acid. He brought people to trouble A Xie. He clearly wanted to trick me. Don't talk about it. A Xie, continue talking about what you just said.
I mean, those things you do after becoming a leader."
"That's it. That's about it. The follow-up matters depend on whether we can roll it out in this way. If we can roll it out, we can talk about how to operate the society and develop better." Sheng Jiashu shrugged: "But the third uncle thinks that I will talk about it.
It’s wrong.”
"He is an idiot. He can't even recognize his own name. I don't feel the same way. I don't even need the boss's help to read the title of the comic book. I am truly a cultural person." Hua Liulong said to Sheng Jiashu.
The comic books that Hua Liulong is talking about are actually street stalls that rent out short-format books. Although they are all short-format books, they come in a wide variety of genres. In addition to familiar masterpieces such as "Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and "Red Mansions", there are also
Some down-and-out literati compiled contemporary stories in order to earn royalties, and some booksellers published some erotic comic books, such as "Jin Ping Mei", "Meat Futon", "Dengcao Monk", etc. In short, men, women, old and young, can find what they like at the bookstalls.
Readings.
Yu Zhaohan waved his hand impatiently towards Hua Liulong: "I'm talking to A Xie about things in court, and you are an outsider..."
"About the cousin? Of course you choose A Xie as the leader. Don't you think about it. When you open your eyes, there are hundreds of brothers under you who want to eat, drink and make money. Don't you have to worry about it? If your younger brother gets into trouble, don't you have a headache?
Anyway, I am annoyed to death by these things. Now what A Xie is talking about is obviously the right way. What's the use of fighting for territory? Making money is the most important thing. However, A Xie, you just said that the Tangguo should be in accordance with the society.
The business is separated, and we haven’t talked about how to make more money..." After Hua Liulong replied to Yu Zhaohan a few words, he continued to ask Sheng Jiashu. The man in his thirties looked like he was listening attentively.
