Siheyuan: Struggle Begins in the 1950s

The three of them took Wang Jianjun to a nearby night market for dinner. Each of them ordered a bowl of wonton noodles, a plate of fish balls, a bowl of beef offal, and finally opened a bottle of beer.

Looking at the bowl of beef offal, Wang Jianjun was a little hesitant.

In Xiangjiang, beef offal that has been washed once is considered clean. Looking at the hygiene conditions of the stall just now, Wang Jianjun doubted whether the beef offal was washed before being put into the pot.

But at least it’s the intention of the three brothers.

Such a treat was considered a luxury for them.

The four of them ate and chatted, and Wang Jianjun also learned about their relationship with Lou Bancheng.

The three of them couldn't make it in the old city because of their family background.

Their father had some friendship with Lou Bancheng's housekeeper Chen Li.

The three of them came to Chen Li for help, and Lou Bancheng gave them some money and introduced them to Hong Kong for development.

"It's a pity that the three of us brothers have no talent and have not made a name for ourselves in Hong Kong. We can only do hard labor to support our family."

The one who was speaking was Lei Long, the eldest of the three brothers. After a few drinks, he started to complain.

"My second brother Lei Hu is the best fighter. He was involved in gangs for a while before, but so what? He was almost hacked to death in the end. Being a gangster depends on background, but now he is still a laborer."

Lei Hu also lifted up his clothes and smiled bitterly:

"My eldest brother told me to put bamboo boards in my clothes, otherwise that knife would have killed me."

Wang Jianjun couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the centipede-like scar.

This gang isn't that easy to get into.

The six people he met today were among the unlucky ones.

I went out to collect protection money and ended up meeting myself.

After listening to the three people chatting for a while, Wang Jianjun finally spoke:

"Brother Long, Brother Tiger, Brother Leopard, I have a business here. Are you interested?"

"Business? Brother Wang, I wonder what business you are here for this time?"

The person who was speaking was Lei Bao, who didn't like doing hard labor and was more interested in doing business.

I became interested when I heard Wang Jianjun say this.

The other two Lei brothers also looked at him with interest.

"I mainly do two businesses this time. One is selling water."

"Selling water?"

"Yes, I sell water. I have a seawater purification technology, and the cost of producing water is very low. One ton of water costs only one Hong Kong dollar."

"One...one Hong Kong dollar!"

The three Lei brothers were all stunned.

They know how water-scarce Hong Kong is.

Almost every time it rains, people here need to go to the rooftop to get water and take a shower.

The water source on the Xiangjiang side mainly comes from rainwater on rainy days.

"Brother Wang, is your technique reliable?"

Lei Long asked somewhat worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely reliable. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way to Hong Kong."

"So, Brother Wang, what do you need us to do? Or is there anything we can do?"

“I need you to help me with a few things.

Firstly, I need to find a piece of land near Tsim Sha Tsui Pier to build a factory and warehouse. Also, please help me find out which shops are for sale in Tsim Sha Tsui.

Secondly, please help me find a plastic factory to customize a batch of buckets. The standard capacity of the buckets is 25 kilograms, and the quality of the buckets must be able to be reused.

Finally, we need to confirm who can support this business if we want to expand it.”

What Wang Jianjun was doing was the bottled water business of later generations.

Plastic buckets can be recycled and reused, and as for water, it is basically zero cost.

A bucket of water sells for a few Hong Kong dollars, and you can make your investment back by selling one bucket.

Although China supplied water to Hong Kong in the 60s.

But if you do this business for a few years, you can make a lot of money.

Wang Jianjun is not planning to keep doing this business.

By the time the water supply project in China starts, he will have earned most of his money.

The more the three brothers listened to his plan, the more excited they became.

Lei Bao immediately expressed his willingness to follow Wang Jianjun.

Lei Long was a calm person. He thought about it and hesitated.

"Brother Wang, according to your plan, this business will cost a lot of money. Buying land to build a factory and buying a store will cost a lot of money. I estimated that it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to do it."

"Don't worry about the money. I can still take out tens of millions."

Wang Jianjun took a sip of wine and said lightly.

Those gangs have been developing for so many years, they must have a lot of money.

Anyway, they are all the dregs of society, so just treat it as getting rid of harm to the people.

When the three brothers heard this, they felt relieved.

Lei Bao thought of the two businesses Wang Jianjun just mentioned, and asked with a turn of his eyes:

"Brother Wang, you just mentioned two businesses. I wonder what the other business is?"

Wang Jianjun pointed at the beef offal on the table and said:

“Just sell these food.”

"Selling... beef offal?"

Wang Jianjun shook his head. "It's not beef offal. I sell beef, mutton, pork, and grains."

The scope of this business was quite large, and the three brothers were a little confused for a while.

"I have a channel to supply these meats and various grains and fruits. The price is much lower than the market price, and the quantity is very large. With such advantages, do you think I can make this business successful?"

Wang Jianjun looked at the mountains of food and the piglets that were beginning to overflow in the space, and thought that he could finally sell these things in large quantities.

Even with Wu Jing and Chen Biao helping her sell in Sijiu City, she wouldn't dare to sell in large quantities.

After all, this operation is illegal.

But in Hong Kong, there are not so many concerns.

He is quite satisfied with this aspect of the capitalist society.

The three brothers thought they had met a noble person this time.

I can’t believe that Wang Jianjun is so young and yet he has such skills.

Could he be from a big family in the inland?

They thought of the time at the beginning of the year when Lou Jie, the third son of the Lou family, came to Hong Kong for an inspection.

Even with the strength of the Lou family, Lou Jie encountered obstacles everywhere in Hong Kong.

Could it be that this young man Wang’s background is even more powerful than the Lou family?

The three of them exchanged glances, and finally the eldest brother Lei Long expressed his opinion:

"Brother Wang, the three of us brothers don't have much ability. We will follow you from now on. Just tell me if you need anything. Lei Hu and I are quite strong, and Lei Bao is smart. Just make arrangements for us."

This is exactly what Wang Jianjun was waiting for.

It is impossible for him to come to Hong Kong alone.

When Mr. Ma started his business, he also had the Eighteen Arhats.

Now these three people are my team.

He just got a general understanding of the personalities of the three brothers.

The Thunder Dragon has a calm personality, the Thunder Tiger is a little dull but strong, and the Thunder Leopard is the smartest.

Moreover, after the initial contact, I felt that the three of them had good personalities and were not the kind of people who would play tricks on others.

In addition, since all the resources were in his hands, he was not worried that the three would betray him.

He believed that people would never betray their own interests.
