Chapter 7 Opening Preparations
On this day, there was a breakfast stall on Lungjin Road.
"What do you want from me, Brother Hao?"
"No, no, no, just call me Ah Hao, brother Qiancheng. You haven't had breakfast yet, boss, please order a soy milk dumpling."
"You came to me early in the morning just to treat me to breakfast, right? I worked until midnight last night and I'm still awake now!" Zhang Jin yawned and said, "Seeing how polite you are, you call me Brother Qiancheng.
No need to guess, you must be looking for me with something."
"The soy milk dumplings here are very delicious. I came here with my father when he fled, and his skills are no worse than those of famous chefs in big hotels." Luo Hao said, "Um, I want to ask you. You told me you wanted to find it at the beginning.
Is it true that I made a movie?"
"Of course it's true, but it won't be possible in the short term. Didn't I tell you a long time ago? Why are you in a hurry?" Zhang Jin added a small steamed bun that was just served and put it in his mouth.
"I'm not in a hurry, I just want to confirm it and then leave the ring affairs to other brothers so that I can concentrate on filming the movie."
"Master Luo agrees to you making a movie?"
"Of course my dad supports it. Making movies is a legitimate thing. He has always hoped that I could leave the walled city so that my descendants could live a serious life." Luo Hao scratched his head.
"Don't worry, when the matters in the arena are settled, we will walk out of the walled city together, and I will take you to see the entire Xiangjiang River." Zhang Jin said.
"Okay." Luo Hao smiled.
"By the way, how are things going in the arena?" Zhang Jin asked.
Luo Hao nodded and said: "It's almost done. Master Ding has already agreed. Although Dou Zaiqiang is reluctant, he will not interfere casually for the sake of Mr. Ding. The only trouble is Dou Zaiqiang's subordinates.
He is in charge of the large and small gambling stalls in the walled city. We did not let him get involved in the gambling competition this time, because he might cause trouble."
After one and a half months of preparation, the preparations for the gambling competition have been completed. There is no problem in opening the business. The question is how long it will take.
"If he comes to cause trouble, if we deal with him, will Master Ding and Dou Zaiqiang stand up for him?" Zhang Jin asked.
"Master Ding probably won't. After all, it doesn't matter whoever does this business to him, and he will get a fair share. My dad said that Douzi Qiang, as the person in charge of the city, has become more and more powerful in recent years.
Although Gou Zaiqiang is his nephew, he will still be unhappy in his heart. If we can successfully gain momentum this time, he will definitely help us take over."
Luo Hao took a bite of the bun, "As for whether the doll is strong, it's hard to say. He is not respectful to the uncles in the city, especially recently, he controls 80% of the power in the city, and he also controls the world outside.
If you dare to go up against the two big club bosses, Grizzly Bear and Fatty Chao, how can they take us seriously?"
"As long as Lord Ding supports us, I'm afraid the two most powerful people are our enemies." Zhang Jin said.
It seems that the antagonism between Ding Ye and Dou Ziqiang was formed over time, otherwise in the plot, it would be impossible for Ding Ye to join forces with Lei Luo so easily just for the gold and force Dou Dou Qiang to step down from his position as a waiter.
No matter what, Gou Zaiqiang must be eliminated. This guy is the obstacle that hinders him from taking charge of the Kowloon Walled City.
Luo Hao said: "By the way, my dad asked me to tell you that the twelfth of this month is an auspicious day. He plans to put the opening match of the gambling tournament on this day. It has already been arranged. When the time comes, remember to come and cut the ribbon.
.ā
"OK."
Zhang Jin and Luo Hao finished talking about things after breakfast and returned to their residence. Now he is still living in the original cage house and plans to wait until the gambling competition opens to get the dividends before moving out. Although Luo Hao said that he would lend him money to move out first.
Go out, but he doesn't want to owe this favor.
Back at the residence, Ah You, who was on the lower bunk, got up just in time. Seeing him carrying a bag of breakfast, he couldn't help but smile: "It smells so good! Ah Jin, I heard Uncle Gen say recently that you are a bastard. I still don't believe it. Now it seems that you don't."
Wrong, Iām even willing to buy breakfast and come back.ā
"Others invited me. How can I have the money? If I was really rich, I wouldn't have worked until midnight like you last night. I was as tired as a dead dog. Hey, eat after you wash up. No one will compete with you." Zhang Jin
He laughed and cursed.
While Ayou went downstairs to wash up, Zhang Jin took a look at the tasks in the system.
[Do two hundred good deeds and be rewarded with mastery of an instrument or mastery of kung fu. Current progress: 71/200]
Since he completed the last good deed mission, he could only go all the way to the dark side. The second phase of the mission required completing two hundred good deeds. Although he had two choices, the difficulty increased exponentially.
It's not that only the number of tasks has increased, the key is that more water has been delivered. Some people are superficially grateful, but when Zhang Jin sees that the number of tasks completed has not increased, he knows that these people's gratitude is not sincere at all.
This is probably because there are too many good things, and some people have become accustomed to it.
It took more than a month to complete 71, which made him a little depressed.
Regarding this situation, Zhang Jin has no way to blame the other party. He can only remember who the other party is and avoid him next time he delivers water. Otherwise, do he really think he is a free coolie?
Ayou came back from washing up and asked while eating breakfast: "Uncle Gen said you found something to do in the ring?"
Zhang Jin said: "Yes, if you are interested, I can arrange for you to go to the arena to work. It is definitely better than starting work at the construction site."
"Really or not? Have you ever gone to a fight to try to outnumber people? Thirty at a time!"
"Want to collect money every time? You can, but I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. It could be a few hundred, or a few thousand or even thousands, but it might be very painful, bleed, or even fatal. Are you afraid?
"Zhang Jin's eyes were playful, and he reached out and patted Ayou on the shoulder.
Ayou was stunned for a moment, forgetting to eat half the bun in his mouth: "If I hadn't known that you were working in the ring, I would have thought you were talking about selling it. Hey, I don't want to go up there to box, why don't you give me some inside information?
, Who is the winner of any boxing fight, so I can make some money."
"Nine times out of ten bets, you will lose. Only the banker will make a profit without losing money. Why don't you become a groom and live a stable life with commissions?" Zhang Jin said.
"Groomman? Your arena also runs a horse racing business?" Ayou screamed strangely.
"Get out!" Zhang Jin raised his middle finger, "I'm referring to the groom with the boxers, not the lady! Get on the street!"
"Even if it's a groom with boxers, where can I find a boxer and just pull someone off the street?" Ayou shook his head.
"There are so many desperadoes in the walled city. If you give them a way to make money and join the walled city as residents, there will be a lot of people willing to serve you."
"What if they threaten me?" Ayou asked.
"Do you want me to teach you this? The bowl has been brought to you, do you still want me to feed you?" Zhang Jin said scornfully.
Ah You was embarrassed to be told that, and he quickly lowered his head to drink the soy milk. After drinking half the bag of soy milk, he raised his head again and asked: "A Jin, you made money in gambling, are you going to move out? Where are you going to move to?"
"
Zhang Jin said: "I haven't thought about it. Anyway, I'll change to a decent house first, get an official ID card, and then move out of the walled city."
"I've only dreamed of moving out of the walled city." Ayou's tone was full of envy and longing.
Zhang Jin joked: "Then work hard. Once the groom is done, he will make money. Remember to find some strong men to be boxers after work is over. Don't chat with those street girls all day long. If you have an empty wallet and a breeze, even if you
