Film and Television: Starting from Leading Three Thousand Disciples Ashore

Gratitude is like oil gushing from a well.

The gloomy mood gradually evaporated after sending out one red envelope after another.

Le Huizhen looked at the thick notebook filled with notes in front of her.

She couldn't help but glance at Lu Wendong standing beside her.

It was already dusk.

The golden rays of the setting sun fell on the man's face, making him incredibly handsome and dashing.

Le Huizhen's heart skipped a beat.

She thought to herself, "Dad was right. There are many ruthless and cunning people among the common folk, and they really can be deadly."

After the first round of red envelopes was distributed, the Tanka people in other districts wished their own houseboats had been burned down as well.

Only a third of the mountain of money piled on the table has been used.

Lu Wendong continued to distribute money.

"Starting today, the president will establish new rules."

"For any family with an elderly person over 60 years old, a monthly allowance of 500 yuan will be provided."

"As long as the Shek Pai Wan Fisheries Association exists, its rules will remain."

People living on the water live a precarious existence, and there are also great storms.

Not many people live to be 60.

As for the lonely and widowed, it would be even more difficult for them to gain a foothold on the sea.

Lu Wendong calculated that this expense would not exceed 10 yuan per month.

Extremely good deal!

Le Huizhen glanced at Lu Wendong with some surprise.

500 per month?

Longevity Gold?

The group of Tanka people watching on the pier caused an instant sensation.

They couldn't help but surround Lu Wendong: "President, is this... is it really true?"

The barbarian next to him was already staring with two big, copper-bell-like eyes.

"The president's words are as good as nails."

Chen Ergou added, "We've been on the water for so many years, how many times have we gone out on the water? Every year!"

"Have you ever seen anyone hand out money directly to everyone like the president?"

He turned around and pointed to Huang's Restaurant in the distance.

"Have Huang Yongqiang and Chen Shuisheng, the two richest men, distributed any money to people in the past ten years or so?"

"No, not a single one!"

"That old bastard Huang Yongqiang even delivered short weights of fish to our seafood restaurant."

"right!"

The barbarian, who knew a bit about the situation, immediately pulled Jiang Guicheng out.

Jiang Guicheng told him about Chen Shuisheng's plan to run away immediately after the fire started.

The facts are clear, and when the two sides are compared, the group of Tanka people look at Lu Wendong with more gratitude in their eyes.

Lu Wendong immediately sent someone over to register the money while distributing it.

In just like that, most of the day had passed.

Lu Wendong spoke again.

"As long as I, Lu Wendong, am alive, the people of Shek Pai Wan will be in charge of the waterways."

Manzi, Chen Ergou, and others led the cheers.

The other Tanka people seemed a bit dazed.

Can the people living on the water really make the decisions in Shek Pai Wan?

Over the years, foreigners, police officers, gangsters, and big spenders have come and gone.

People living on the water are always the ones who get bullied.

Now, Shek Pai Wan is in charge?

"Barbarians!"

"arrive!"

The barbarian stood tall and proud, his eyes fixed straight ahead, his voice emanating from his chest.

The eardrums of Le Huizhen, who was facing her, were shaken.

"Manzi is hereby appointed as the head of the security department of the Shek Pai Wan Fisheries Association. His monthly salary is HK$6,000, including room and board, and other benefits will be calculated separately."

"yes!"

The barbarian saluted: "I will live for the guild leader, and I will die for the guild leader!"

The person next to him immediately turned red in the eyes. A monthly salary of six thousand?

Isn't that the same as the wages on a construction site?

"The Shek Pai Wan Fisheries Association's Security Department plans to recruit 30 people for the water."

"They must be reliable in their composition, have a clean identity, and be willing to be at the forefront for Shek Pai Wan."

"Ages between 20 and 30."

"If you are accepted, the starting salary is 4 yuan per month, including room and board, and other benefits."

Lu Wendong didn't waste any words.

He pointed to the table next to him, indicating that Manzi should cooperate with Le Huizhen in registering over there.

Looking at the enthusiastic boaters on the dock, Le Huizhen wondered what she was doing staying there.

Oh dear, it's all so strange, I've been captured and turned into a free slave.

People from the water have already flocked here.

Le Huizhen took notes while thinking.

I must conduct an in-depth interview!

Too bad!

"Chen Ergou!"

"arrive!"

"Jiang Guicheng!"

"arrive!"

"You are hereby appointed as captains of Team 1 and Team 2 of the Shek Pai Wan Fisheries Association's fish protection team."

"Monthly salary of 6,000, including room and board, with additional benefits."

"Recruiting 20 team members for each position, starting monthly salary of 4 yuan, including room and board, and other benefits."

"The conditions should be aligned with those of the security department."

Lu Wendong has already calculated it.

It is unrealistic to unify three thousand soldiers all at once.

It would be better to gather a few teams around us first.

His plan was to keep a tight grip on the two armed forces: the security department and the fish protection team.

With so many people, they can control the fish market.

In turn, they gained control of Shek Pai Wan.

As for how to support these people?

With a fish market that has an annual transaction volume of several billion, it's not a problem at all.

The registration area was already packed with enthusiastic young water sports enthusiasts.

With a starting monthly salary of four thousand, this income is already on par with what's available elsewhere.

This is an impossible luxury for people who live on the water!

And now, the wish has come true.

Everyone was eager to use all their strength to squeeze to the front so that their name could appear on the register.

Lu Wendong asked two Tanka men to pack up the remaining money and take it to his office.

"President."

A group of vendors were already waiting in the corridor.

They bowed and scraped, saying, "Congratulations on your new appointment, Chairman."

A golden horse, weighing at least 3 kilograms, was presented to Lu Wendong: "Wishing you great success and a bright future, Chairman."

"Have you paid?"

"It's paid, it's paid."

Not all vendors pay.

The group that came were relatively well-informed.

Upon hearing that Jiang Jiahui and Lai Mingquan had brutally murdered Hung Hing leader Jiang Tiansheng, a group of shrewd vendors immediately paid their money.

The price ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands per household.

"President."

Fearing something might happen to Lu Wendong, Manzi specially brought a team of security guards to protect him.

"Everyone was so enthusiastic."

"More than 200 people have already signed up."

"Select the best of the best, choose the finest of the finest."

Lu Wendong's gaze swept over the group of vendors in front of him.

Nine out of ten businessmen are unscrupulous!

To control these vendors, rules alone are not enough; we also need to be ruthless.

"The safety of Shek Pai Van and the fish market is the top priority."

"Yes! Yes!"

A group of vendors, all with smiling faces, were bowing their heads.

The barbarians on the side glared fiercely at the vendors.

In all my life, I've only ever been picked over by these vendors.

Lu Wendong took these vendors to the conference room for a meeting.

For the fish market to thrive, it needs these unscrupulous merchants.

However, Lu Wendong also couldn't be without benefits.

Maintaining staff costs money, establishing a foothold costs money, and bribing officials costs money...

Money everywhere, inside and out!

"I have a few things to say."

A group of vendors immediately sat up straight and took out their notebooks to take notes.

Shek Pai Wan Fish Wholesale Market, built along the coast, is less than one kilometer long and houses nearly a hundred seafood shops. It is Hong Kong's largest and most professional seafood wholesale market. This market is also a major source of seafood for Hong Kong's restaurants and eateries, with annual sales reaching several billion Hong Kong dollars.

No other seafood market on Hong Kong Island can compare to the Shek Pai Wan Fish Market.

Therefore, this place has always been a key target of contention among various forces.

Because of this, the vendors, who are used to this, don't care who is in charge of the fish market.

It doesn't matter who comes; everyone has to pay their share.
