Shi Zhijian hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Wan Chai Da Fei and others up.
"How can you say that I am also good friends with your Hutchison boss Long Ye? Wouldn't you be hurting me by doing this?" Shi Zhijian said seriously.
With Shi Zhijian's sincere help, Da Fei and others slowly stood up. Seeing Shi Zhijian's appearance, they felt even more ashamed of what they had just done.
Mr. Shi is such a true man who is upright and loyal. We actually wanted to do something to him just now... Hey, we are not human!
"Your name is Da Fei, right? I seem to have some impression of you." Shi Zhijian said to Brother Da Fei.
Wan Chai Da Fei felt even more ashamed, "Mr. Shi may have forgotten that I was your defeated general once..."
Before Da Fei could finish what he said, Shi Zhijian reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "What was it before? We drank wine and had dinner together?! I and you and everyone in Ji are all good friends! Don't you think so?"
"Yes!" Everyone was not stupid, they knew that Shi Zhijian was trying to step down for Da Fei.
Da Fei was extremely grateful and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and couldn't.
Shi Zhijian patted him on the shoulder again, "I know it's not easy to get around here in Kwun Tong, and you and your brothers are also working hard. But talents can shine wherever they are. In addition, you are right about what you said, the sky is big and the earth is big.
, asking for food is the biggest! But if you want to ask for food, others will also want to ask for food."
As he spoke, Shi Zhijian pointed to the fish ball stall owned by Mr. Chen, "I'm afraid you can't do things like bullying men and women, and bullying the market, but you can probably do things like collecting protection fees.
Quite a few, right?!”
Da Fei and others blushed, "Mr. Shi, as you know, this is our business rule. Especially in a poor place like Kwun Tong, we can only make money by collecting protection fees."
"Yeah, there aren't even a few gambling stalls here, so we can't get any money even if we want to!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, "Then let me ask you, are there many fish ball stalls like this?"
"There are not many poor people in Kwun Tong."
"That's right! If it's a lot, there's nothing wrong with you charging a little protection fee, but because it's too little, you try your best to take advantage of a few of them. The end result is that they can't do business and you have no money to make!
"
Da Fei and others were stunned. Shi Zhijian was absolutely right. Many fish ball stalls and food stalls had closed down because the protection fees they charged were too high, so that people like them could hardly even eat.
"Mr. Shi, we don't want to either!"
"Yeah, we don't want them to go out of business either!"
Shi Zhijian smiled, "Seeing that you are so sincere, then I will tell you what to do next."
After speaking, Shi Zhijian pointed to the fish ball stall, as well as the few remaining small stalls nearby, including a shoe repair stall, a fruit stall, and a stall selling fine glutinous rice——
"You should regard these stalls as your own business and find a few good businesses to invest in them. If the stall owners are short of money, you will invest money. If they are short of popularity, you will help attract customers! Remember, you are not beggars. You have to ask for money from them.
Money; you are not a bully, extorting money from them! You are investors and partners, and you must share the profits every month! This is the code for a steady stream of wealth!"
"Kwun Tong is poor, but what makes it poor is the human heart! If Da Fei has your heart, you can develop this area of Kwun Tong. I believe in you! Come on!"
Da Fei was shocked.
He had never heard anyone say such a thing to him.
But what Shi Zhijian said seems to make sense!
After Shi Zhijian said this, he said no more. Many things needed to be understood by themselves.
Da Fei and him were considered to have a "fate", so he would say a few more words. If it were anyone else, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention.
Looking back, Shi Zhijian said a few words to Chen Huimin's family, then got into the Bentley and drove away.
…
When Chen Huimin saw Shi Zhijian leaving, she was still in shock and had not recovered.
Ever since he followed Shi Zhijian, he knew that his boss was extraordinary. He knew the four famous detectives and made friends with wealthy young masters like Mr. Xu and Mr. Huo.
But he never thought that Shi Zhijian was actually a great benefactor of the Hutchison Society.
This sudden change caught Chen Huimin off guard.
After all, he used to work in Heji, and he also knew many brothers in Heji.
Occasionally, everyone would go out together to chat, drink, and eat. Many friends would mention that great benefactor.
At that time, Chen Huimin was dismissive, thinking that everyone was bragging. How could there be such a powerful person who could solve the employment problem of tens of thousands of people and keep everyone fed?
But today——
Only then did Chen Huimin realize that the great benefactor turned out to be Mr. Shi, whom she had been serving!
Just when Chen Huimin continued to be in a daze——
"I'm sorry about that, Brother Huimin!"
"Huh?" Chen Huimin was startled, but when he turned around, he saw it was Wan Chai Dafei.
Wan Chai Da Fei actually called him "Brother Hui Min"?
Chen Huimin wondered if he heard wrongly.
"Brother Huimin, I hope you will take care of me in the future!"
He heard correctly, Wan Chai Da Fei indeed called him "Brother Huimin", and he also took out a cigarette with a smile and handed it to him in a flattering manner.
Chen Huimin was stunned and subconsciously took the cigarette.
Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Huimin was willing to accept the cigarette. He once again put a flattering smile on his face and said, "Um, I wonder how your dad's business is doing every day?"
Chen Huimin said angrily: "You should know this better than me!"
Da Fei scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, it was us who made mistakes before! Mr. Shi also said that in the future we will coexist peacefully with you and invest in your business, so I am going to ask your father to relocate to a nearby place with the most traffic.
place to do business.”
"In addition, I am also planning to open three or four more fish ball stalls as your branches. I also hope that Father Chen can help teach you the technique of making fish balls!"
"Uh, what?" Chen Huimin's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't hear clearly what Shi Zhijian and Da Fei were talking about just now. Unexpectedly, Da Fei started making fish balls without charging protection money.
"I can teach you this! As long as you are willing to study hard!" Father Chen suddenly said.
"Thank you, Father Chen!" Da Fei looked very happy and called to the younger brother behind him, "Why don't you quickly thank Father Chen for teaching you the technology?!"
"Thank you, Father Chen!" A group of younger brothers behind Da Fei shouted in unison.
Chen Huimin’s brain is out of use. What’s going on?
Everyone else around him was also confused.
Only Da Fei from Wan Chai knew that it was miserable enough for him to be sent to Kwun Tong. If he continued to extort these small traders and hawkers like this, he would be finished sooner or later and would not even be able to eat.
Mr. Shi is right, we should protect the vendors here as treasures. Only when their business is good can we make money for ourselves!
