Chapter 70: A large sum of more than three hundred yuan

Capitalism means that everything is aligned with production, everything is aligned with business, and everything is aligned with capital.

Shangguan Yonggan was right, Su Long was the evil capitalist.

He could even put a price on people: 20,000 for a red stick and 200 for a bad boy. He calculated it clearly and explicitly.

Even if you want to sleep with a woman, you have to negotiate the price in advance.

Such people have blood and filth flowing from every pore.

But Mr. Zhai is different.

Even if the girls indulge in depravity and measure themselves by money, he is still willing to teach them to resist capital.

Everyone is equal, it’s not about money, it’s about the heart.

"You're a good fellow, then."

Shangguan Yonggan didn't quite understand what he said, but he still praised Zhai Yuan.

He held Zhai Yuan's hand and said, "You can speak their southern dialect. Please tell Master Su that we have inquired about it. His martial arts school has made a total of more than 3.7 million. We will not bully others. Let him pay a small amount of 700,000. We will ask other martial arts schools for the remaining 3 million. We will try to open a martial arts school during the Chinese New Year and treat you to a feast then."

"If he refuses to give it to us, you can ask him to call for help. If we lose, it's because we don't have enough skills. We can buy our own tickets and go back to Henan Province."

"Master Su keeps calling himself a Jianghu person, how can you not follow the rules of Jianghu? You should learn more from those chivalrous knights in the storytelling."

Shangguan Yonggan finished speaking in one breath and patted the back of Zhai Yuan's hand with an expression that said "please help me".

Zhai Yuan felt amused.

The Jianghu that these people are talking about may not be the same as the Jianghu that Su Long mentioned.

But Shangguan Yonggan's tone was very sincere, and the four companions around him nodded in agreement. Zhai Yuan couldn't tell for a moment whether they were blackmailing him or they really thought so.

"Master Su, you actually understand, right?"

Zhai Yuan looked at Su Long, whose face was ashen, and said something with a strange expression.

Su Long gritted his teeth and said nothing.

These five people worked as hard laborers in his garage for a month. If Su Long still couldn't figure out their purpose, all his years in the underworld would have been in vain.

But no one does this!
You came up and started beating me up, then demanded seven hundred thousand dollars, and even asked me to help you open a martial arts school and promote it. How would I face you if this gets out?

But we couldn't beat them, and we couldn't drive them away.

Should we let Axe Jun lead his troops across the sea and hack them to death? How shameful!
So they had to be temporarily placed in the garage.

But Shangguan Yonggan also thinks Su Long is a bastard.

Could there be any falsehood in Mr. Dan Tianfang’s storytelling?

He is an intellectual who has been on TV to tell stories. You bunch of Hong Kong martial artists just don't follow the rules of the martial arts world!
"Ten thousand each, you take them all."

Su Long stared at Zhai Yuan and said, "If you need more troops later, I'll give you a 20% discount."

Zhai Yuan looked at Su Long, then at Shangguan Yonggan and his group, and slapped his forehead.

"Oh no! I almost forgot that I'm still stewing pear water at home. I have to go back to check the fire. Let's talk about borrowing soldiers later. It's okay for my place to be closed for two days."

After he finished speaking to Su Long, he patted Shangguan Yonggan on the shoulder and said, "Don't let the people of Hong Kong fool you. Mr. Shan Tianfang is absolutely right. If they don't help you open a martial arts gym, then continue to fight. Pick a time when they have the most customers. It's best to stand at the door of their gym and put up a banner saying "Make friends through martial arts" so that the common people can bear witness. We want to subdue people with martial arts."

Zhai Yuan spoke very slowly, as if he was speaking deliberately for Su Long to hear.

Damn it, you've been squeezed out like this, and you still dare to ask me for money.

Ten thousand each, will you give it to me?

Shangguan Yonggan listened to his advice and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face.

"To subdue people with force, hit the mark!"

He tore off his work clothes, revealing a khaki cloth jacket and trousers, and called out to his companions: "Stop the fucking work, follow me out and continue fighting!"

"Okay, okay, okay, you are capable."

Su Long reached out to stop Zhai Yuan who was about to leave, and gritted his teeth: "If you help me deal with these big circles, I will lend you 200 people at a 50% discount."

A 50% discount means one hundred yuan per person.

"make a deal!"

Zhai Yuan did not bargain any more. It was only tens of thousands of yuan. If Su Long got angry, it would be more trouble than gain. He walked to Shangguan Yonggan.

"Brother Gan, you'd better not go."

"What's the matter? Didn't you just say you wanted to subdue people with force?"

"After all, we live in a society ruled by law. We still have to convince others with virtue. You guys should listen to the captain in the team, right?"

"I listen to the captain, I am the captain."

The other four people agreed and said that it was true that Brother Gan was the captain of their village.

You're a captain, but you don't do your job and just wander around the world with your teammates.

Zhai Yuan cursed inwardly, but still had a smile on his face: "That's right, Brother Gan. Hong Kong is different from where we are now. There is only one martial arts school allowed on a street. If you don't believe me, go out and see if there are any other martial arts schools on this street besides Master Su's?"

Of course not. Not to mention that martial arts schools are a sunset industry, who would dare to compete with Su Long for business on the same street?

"Oh~" Shangguan Yonggan thought: "Is this the local policy?"

"That's right!" Zhai Yuan nodded.

"Then we must obey!"

Shangguan Yonggan said this while greeting his companions behind him. The other four nodded and obeyed.

He asked again: "Then will he still give us money?"

Zhai Yuan asked in return: "Which is more important, the rules of the underworld or the policies?"

Shangguan Yonggan: "Of course the policy is important!"

Zhai Yuan: “That cannot be granted due to policy.”

The light in Shangguan Yonggan's eyes suddenly faded a lot.

He smacked his lips and said, "Damn that Su guy didn't say it earlier. Isn't this just wasting time?"

"It's ok."

Zhai Yuan continued, "I have a piece of land somewhere else that I can give you to open a martial arts school. If you don't mind, why don't you come with me?"

After saying this, I felt a little uncomfortable. It sounded like I was coaxing a child with a lollipop.

"Yes! But we can't take up your place for nothing."

Shangguan waved his hand bravely and called to his companions behind him: "Everyone, take out your money!"

The five people took off their shoes at the same time, and then took out old RMB bills that were soaked with sweat from their socks.

A sour and refreshing smell instantly spread, and the crowd retreated several meters.

Zhai Yuan was glad that he hadn’t had lunch yet, so he could hold on!

"Wei Xing, Tu Qiang, it's time for you to wash your feet."

Shangguan Yonggan took the money from his companion and scolded Wei Xing and Wang Tuqiang.

He folded the money together and counted it, then handed it to Zhai Yuan, saying proudly, "The total is three hundred and fifty-two taels of silver. This amount of money should be a large sum in Hong Kong, right?"

Zhai Yuan felt as if there was still steam coming out of the stack of money.

He put his hands behind his back and shook his head.

On second thought, I didn't understand what he meant. You dare to take Su Long's 700,000 yuan, and more than 300 yuan has become a "big number"?
"Don't think we don't understand. Hong Kong uses foreign money."

Shangguan Yonggan said with a smile: "I have seen foreign money before. A thousand yuan note looks big, but it is actually the same as what we buy with one yuan."

Zhai Yuan thought about it.

Think about it again.

Then he asked, "Is the foreign money you are talking about green, with a big auditorium printed on the front and a bunch of big waves printed on the back? It's not called a coin, but a shield?"

"Yeah! We've seen it before!"

Shangguan Yonggan and his companions straightened their backs with proud expressions on their faces.

Zhai Yuan stood in awe!
