A century-old wealthy family that rose from Shanghai

Chapter 5 Conflict
A few days later.

"Old Zhou, have you looked a lot more haggard recently?"

"It's Xiao Chen. It's nothing. I'm fine."

Chen Guangliang smiled secretly in his heart. He didn't expect that the last conversation - about the life span of rickshaw pullers - would actually affect Lao Zhou's mood.

Amitabha! What a sin!

"Are you Xiao Chen? Did you know that you stole a big customer from me last time?"

A young man with a northern Jiangsu accent came up to Chen Guangliang in a bad tone.

He is Hu San, a disciple of the "gangster leader" Gu Zhuxuan, but he is just a coachman.

Chen Guangliang looked puzzled, with a typical expression of pretending to be dumb, and said: "No, how come I don't know about this?"

Recently he has been able to earn 70 cents a day, which is a legend among novices.

In addition to his good physique, the biggest reason is that he always likes to take the initiative.

This will naturally arouse jealousy, which is inevitable.

"You're playing dumb, aren't you? Last time, you snatched that fat man who went to the racecourse with just a newspaper. You didn't even bother asking how many years I, Hu San, have been in this business, or how many brothers we have at Gu's Car Dealership. And you dared to do this, right?"

Gu Zhuxuan, the "Commander Lakui", had a large number of fellow townsmen from northern Jiangsu under his command. He was later called the "Fourth Tycoon of Shanghai", meaning he was the fourth Shanghai tycoon after Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin.

In fact, Gu Zhuxuan also had the best ending among the "Four Tycoons". Although he did not run away in 1949, he spent his later years well because he bet on both sides and his youngest son was the captain of the Red Detachment.

"Well, now I remember they haven't made their choice yet."

Chen Guangliang looked fearless, with a completely different attitude from when he was facing guests.

"You are looking for death!"

Hu San is also a young man in his twenties with a strange personality. He bullies the weak and fears the strong, and he is always ready to slap people when he raises his hand.

Two drivers, both from northern Jiangsu, also walked forward with unfriendly expressions.

Of course, there are also coachmen who come to watch the fun.

A good show is going on at the bottom of society.

But obviously.

If Chen Guangliang didn't have someone to rely on, how could he be so "unscrupulous for money".

He had been prepared for this and grabbed Hu San's hand, holding it tightly so that he couldn't move.

If he didn't have a good body, he would have been a grandson long ago!
"Brother Hu, we're all suffering. There's no need to cause trouble, right? When the police arrive, no matter which sect you belong to, they'll lock you up for three days. It won't be worth it for anyone."

You still have to be polite in your words.

Hu San only felt that Chen Guangliang was extremely strong and he couldn't break free no matter what he did. He was being squeezed so hard that it felt like his bones were about to break.

When the two companions heard what Chen Guangliang said and realized that something was wrong, they did not take any action and looked around vigilantly.

Seeing this, Hu San could only say harshly, "You want to let it go like this? We are the people of Mr. Gu Si, the 'Jiangbei Tycoon'."

Chen Guangliang said with a smile: "As for business, whoever has the ability to do it will own it. If you don't believe me, go back and ask Mr. Gu Si if it's true!"

After saying that, he shook his hand away.

Under the influence of the huge force, Hu San couldn't help but take three or four steps back.

"You've got guts! Wait!"

"accompany"

To put it bluntly, the so-called "Gu disciples" are just a figurehead, and they may not even have seen Gu Zhuxuan in person.

It’s like the Qing Gang, which claims to have hundreds of thousands of people, but if they really want to use them to charge into battle, it would be considered impressive if they could gather 30,000 people.

A gangster is a gangster. The warlord can just take 5,000 soldiers and overthrow the entire Green Gang.

Therefore, the Gu family is said to have tens of thousands of followers. It is already very good if they can have hundreds of them as thugs and dozens of them willing to fight for their lives.

These people who work so hard no longer learn to pull carts, but have other jobs.

So Chen Guangliang didn't care about Hu San at all.

"Youth is full of vigor, you young people!"

Old Zhou sighed when he saw the situation calm down.

"No fight, no acquaintance"

It's no wonder that after such an incident, a rickshaw driver took the initiative to greet Chen Guangliang. After all, people in northern Jiangsu are typical of forming cliques, and in Zhabei, the Gu family rickshaw business has always been rampant.

Just now, Chen Guangliang was not afraid at all, which showed his extraordinary courage.

If you can escape unscathed, you are both brave and resourceful.

Chen Guangliang never refuses anyone who comes and always has a chat with them.

Friends come with wine, jackals come with shotguns.

"Sir, would you like a ride?"

Seeing Chen Guangliang's active attack again, Lao Zhou couldn't help but laugh and said, "This kid is really a desperate man!"

"Tired him to death"

"Hu San, are we just going to let this matter go today?"

"Humph, I'll get back at him some other time. That guy is a martial artist."

Hu San walked to his rickshaw, pulled up his sleeves, and the red skin on his sleeves made him feel very painful.

"Innate divine power?"

He was timid in his heart. Although he had become Mr. Gu's disciple, it was clear that he would not get much support for such a matter. For example, the two fellow villagers just now were also intimidated by others and did not help him at all.

"Hu San, we were just on the street. It would be bad to get the police out. Next time we can find an opportunity and get a few more people to teach that brat a lesson."

"It's Hu San. After all, we're on the street today, so let's spare that kid for now."

"Thank you, both of you guys."

"knock off"

Chen Guangliang was pulling a rickshaw and jogging along the way. He looked very energetic and admired the international buildings lined up on both sides of the road from time to time.

Even passersby noticed him and secretly complained in their hearts, wondering what a "naked guy" was so happy about.

How can I not be happy? I made another 70 cents today.

It has been exactly half a month since Chen Guangliang joined this business. He can make an average of 1.2 yuan in sales every day, which is equivalent to a net profit of cents.

By the end of this month, I have saved at least eight or nine yuan.

According to Xiangzi's idea in his previous life, he could buy a rickshaw of his own in just over a year, and it would not take two years at all.

This also fully illustrates one thing: Chen Guangliang is better at pulling a rickshaw than Xiangzi.

Wang's house.

Wang Chengyun said to Chen Guangliang with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you will have two days off starting tomorrow!"

Chen Guangliang was stunned, and immediately said, "Boss Wang, I'm young and strong, I can work for two more days."

Wang Chengyun patted Chen Guangliang on the shoulder and said kindly, "Hey, it's a good thing for young people to be willing to work hard, but they also need to take proper rest. I originally thought that since you just entered this industry, your income might not be enough to eat, but I heard from others that you are quite diligent in pulling the cart. Take a break and don't exhaust yourself!"

At this point, Chen Guangliang did not insist too much and watched someone repair the rickshaw.

He rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll go and help."

After saying that, to Wang Chengyun's astonishment, Chen Guangliang came to the damaged rickshaw and started to "help".

Wang Chengyun seemed to be thinking about something.

In fact, he doesn't like subordinates who are too diligent because they may buy a car for themselves.

Not only do I lose my subordinates, but I also gain competitors.

Anyway, he collects rent, so he likes more people to drive for him. It's enough for everyone to have enough food to eat, but don't think about getting rich from him.

So, he arranges at least four days of vacation for people every month.

Of course, it is impossible to say these directly, after all, many of them are from the same hometown.

Chen Guangliang had only been here for half a month, but he had already paid special attention to this young man.

"It's probably just a momentary excitement, it won't be like this after a while."

On the other hand, Chen Guangliang didn't know much about repairs, he was just taking the opportunity to lend a hand and learn from the master.

With his sweet words and clever ears, the effect is quite good.
