Returning to Foshan, Jiang Li could easily feel that the atmosphere on the street had become heavier. The relaxed and relaxed atmosphere of the past had completely disappeared. Teams of officers and soldiers were constantly searching the streets.
Jiang Li sneered and searched in Foshan. Fortunately, the admiral in the government office could figure it out. At that time, he had just returned home. It would be strange if he could be found in Foshan.
At this time, he was wearing a clean suit and the Western hat on his head was thrown away. Even the rickshaw driver who pulled the rickshaw this morning would not be able to recognize him now.
"Master." As soon as he entered the city, Afu, who was waiting here at his request, drove a carriage to greet him.
"Well, let's go back." Jiang Li nodded and got into the carriage.
"Wait." Not long after the carriage left, Jiang Li heard a voice outside.
"Who is sitting inside?"
"Sir, this is our young master." Ah Fu said.
"Master? Which one is he from? Let me see..." The curtain of the carriage was pulled up, revealing Jiang Li sitting upright inside. President Qian's face froze and he froze in place.
"Have you finished reading?" Jiang Li looked at the official Mr. Qian outside the carriage expressionlessly, with a cold tone.
"Uh, it turns out it's Young Master Jiang. No, it's President Jiang. I'm here, please excuse me." Mr. Qian looked at Jiang Li's face, his face changed, he smiled, and pulled down the curtain.
He quickly stepped aside.
"Let's go." Jiang Li closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
The carriage ticked away, and Mr. Qian, who was still standing, wiped the cold sweat from his face.
"Mr. Qian, who is this big shot?" An officer and soldier approached Manchu Qian and asked curiously.
"President of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, what do you think?" Mr. Qian glanced at him and said angrily.
"Sihai Chamber of Commerce?" Hearing this, the curious officers and soldiers immediately shut their mouths.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, if it were in the past, a businessman's status would not be said to be the lowest in society, nor would anyone think highly of him.
But things are different now. Since the launch of the Westernization Movement, and even after the outbreak of the Opium War, the status of these businessmen has skyrocketed, especially for chambers of commerce like the Sihai Chamber of Commerce that can be counted across the country.
Because these chambers of commerce are more or less related to foreigners, in this era, the government has no majesty, only those powerful foreigners have it. The people are afraid of the gangsters, the gangsters are afraid of the government, and the government is afraid of the foreign devils.
As a result, those businessmen who were originally unpopular suddenly rose up and became important power groups in the country.
Now, even the government is trying its best to please these chambers of commerce. Therefore, after knowing Jiang Li's identity, the Manchu Qian President was instantly intimidated.
There is no way, with the energy of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, if he dares to embarrass Jiang Li today, he doesn't have to wait until tomorrow. After a while, the prefect of Foshan will come to trouble him.
"Let's go, continue the search." President Manchu Qian felt happy in his heart, turned around and yelled at the officers and soldiers on the street.
"Master, Master Huang has sent a message, asking you to go to Fulinlou to take pictures in the afternoon." Ah Fu said to Jiang Li while walking on the street.
"Well, there's no rush, let's go to Wuguan Street first." Jiang Li closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on his knees.
"yes."
Martial Arts Street is a major feature of Foshan. There are many martial arts schools of all sizes in Foshan. There are all kinds of boxing and martial arts, and everything is taught.
Over the years, with the increase in the number of martial arts schools, some rules have gradually been added. Anyone who wants to open a martial arts gym must be a local person with strong martial arts skills and high prestige in Foshan, such as Ip Man, Huang Feihong, or the apprentice of the Ten Tigers of Guangdong, etc.
.
Or, you have to obtain the consent of most martial arts masters based on your martial arts skills and magnanimity. Otherwise, even if the martial arts gym continues to open, there will be all kinds of troubles, and you will be forced to leave helplessly in the end.
There is no way, reality is like this, either go with the flow or leave.
The martial arts gym Jiang Li prepared for Yan Zhendong was also on Martial Arts Street. Today, he was there to support him.
Yan Zhendong is from Shandong. It is extremely difficult to open a martial arts gym in Foshan, but it will be different if Jiang Li comes forward.
The Sihai Chamber of Commerce is one of the four major chambers of commerce in Guangdong. Even the government does not dare to underestimate the power it possesses, let alone those who open martial arts schools.
Half an hour later, Jiang Li, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly felt the carriage stop. He opened the curtain and walked out.
"Drink...drink..." Wuguan Street is indeed a Wuguan Street. As soon as you get off the carriage, loud shouts can be heard from all around. The martial arts schools are lined up one after another, and they look really unique.
"Sir." Yan Zhendong walked out of the martial arts gym with a smile on his face.
"Yan's Martial Arts School." Jiang Li raised his head, looked at the gilded plaque above his head, and nodded slightly.
Compared to other martial arts halls, Yan's martial arts hall was completely silent at this time and seemed very deserted.
"This must be Mr. Jiang Lijiang, the head of the Jiang family. I am Wang Lun, who studied under Wang Yinlin. I have admired him for a long time." Behind Yan Zhendong, more than ten people came out one after another. The leader was a middle-aged man with a tough face.
He cupped his fists at Jiang Li.
"Jiang is also known as the Xia family boxing champion. It's a pity that we are lucky. If there is a chance, Mr. Wang must introduce Jiang." With a smile on his face, Jiang Li hurriedly went up to greet Wang Lun and replied to Wang Lun.
A gift.
Today's Ten Tigers of Guangdong include Wang Yinlin, Huang Chengke, Su Heihu, Huang Qiying, Huang Feihong, Zhou Tai, Tan Jiyun, Li Renchao, Chen Tiezhi, and Liang Kun. Among them, Wang Yinlin is the oldest and has the highest prestige. He used to fight all over the world with his own fists.
The whole Guangdong is famous all over the world.
"Haha, Mr. Jiang is so polite." Wang Lun, who originally thought Jiang Li was hard to talk to, felt relieved and said with a smile.
"Please come inside." Jiang Li stretched out his hand to Wang Lun, and they all went inside again.
The Yan Family Martial Arts School was built with Jiang Li's heavy investment, and its facilities are among the best in the entire Martial Arts Street. The interior is spacious and bright enough to accommodate hundreds of people.
Everyone sat apart.
"Mr. Wang, as well as all of you here, everyone knows the rules of Foshan Wuguan Street. I, Jiang, also know that martial arts, moral character, tolerance, and martial arts are easy to talk about. Everyone here can compete with Master Yan. I believe that you will not be let down.
Disappointed." Jiang Li picked up the tea on the table and spoke calmly, his voice ringing clearly throughout the entire martial arts training hall.
"As for moral character and magnanimity, I have a suggestion."
"Mr. Jiang, please speak." Wang Lun and others exchanged glances and couldn't help but speak.
Jiang Li picked up the tea, took a sip, looked at Wang Lun and said softly, "A month ago, Miura Ichiro challenged many martial arts masters in Wuguan Street and injured many martial arts masters. I know that you are worried, but you let Miura Ichiro escape with luck.
One calamity.”
"Let me make the decision and let Master Yan challenge Ichiro Miura. If Master Yan wins, you will open the door to lure Master Yan into this martial arts street. If he loses, you will close the shop. You
What do you think?"
"Miura Ichiro?" Wang Lun looked silent. A month ago, Miura Ichiro attacked the martial arts street and injured many martial arts masters one after another. The Japanese martial arts were not very good, but their moves were very vicious and swift.
Wang Lun knew in his heart that except for a few of them, the descendants of the Ten Tigers, who were expected to fight against each other on Wuguan Street, everyone else was just there to deliver food.
But they also had worries in their hearts. Miura Ichiro was a foreigner anyway, so it was not easy to offend him. If they went up, they would not be able to gain any favor, no matter whether they won or lost.
After winning, the Japanese became angry and made an enemy for nothing. If they lost, their master's reputation would be affected even more. Therefore, none of them made a move, and they actually achieved the name of Ichiro Miura, and he has gained many people these days.
.
If Yan Zhendong can defeat the Japanese, it will be an exciting thing for Foshan Wuguan Street. He can also redeem the humiliation he suffered before, and even make friends with a predator like Jiang Li behind him, killing two birds with one stone.
.
Suddenly, many martial artists present were moved and agreed immediately.
