Hong Kong variety show: I wanted to be a lawyer, but I became a big shot.

Lin Bei lit a cigar, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and spoke calmly.

"Currently, only department stores and large shopping malls in Mong Kok require security personnel."

"In the early stages, there won't be much business, so the salary won't be too high. The average monthly salary for a security guard is HK$6000."

"Jianjun, you will be appointed as the district security manager, with a monthly salary of HK$15000."

"Jianguo served as the security director, with a monthly salary of HK$10000."

The simple and straightforward salary offer left Wang Jianguo and his group stunned, their eyes filled with disbelief.

It should be noted that the average monthly income of people in mainland China is only a few hundred yuan, and those with a monthly income of ten thousand yuan are extremely rare and legendary, a dream that is out of reach for countless people.

The man in front of them offered a monthly salary of tens of thousands, which completely changed their lives overnight.

The enormous difference in height left these seasoned veterans deeply shaken.

"Mr. Lin, are you telling the truth?"

Wang Jianjun suppressed the tremor in his heart and confirmed it in a deep voice.

Lin Bei frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of feigned displeasure.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you afraid I won't keep my word? Or do you think the salary is too low?"

"No, no, no, we have absolutely no intention of looking down on you!"

Wang Jianjun waved his hand hurriedly, looking flustered yet excited.

Lin Bei's expression softened, and he continued to add details.

"As for accommodation, the company will provide dormitory rooms for employees."

"There will be a dedicated cafeteria for meals. I will have someone issue you meal cards, and you can eat as needed."

He had already planned this out. Two years ago, he discovered that Hong Kong Island lacked affordable fast food restaurants, so he specially recruited people from Kowloon Walled City to open several ten-dollar fast food restaurants in the Yau Tsim Mong area.

The meals are affordable and offer a wide variety, making them popular among low-income workers and ensuring stable profits.

The subordinates are given meal cards every month, which allows them to eat whenever they want and also keep an eye on the store, killing two birds with one stone.

Setting up a security company and supporting a hundred or so people is no problem for him now.

Such comprehensive and generous treatment was rare in Hong Kong in 1985.

In an era when countless people in mainland China struggled to make ends meet, a job with free room and board, high salary, and stability was enough to drive people completely mad.

Wang Jianjun and his group, fighting back tears, solemnly bowed to Lin Bei, their voices firm and resolute.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Lin!"

"We brothers are willing to serve you like dogs and horses!"

Lin Bei stood up and reached out to help Wang Jianjun and the others up one by one, his tone calm and steady.

"The current poverty is only temporary. If we work together, everyone will gradually get better and achieve common prosperity."

"What I want to do is ensure that our descendants will never have to suffer from hunger and cold, or be bullied by others."

A simple wish touched the softest spot in everyone's heart.

Wang Jianjun and the others nodded emphatically, their eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"Since there are no objections, you can go back to your hometown and select reliable people."

"Once all personnel are recruited, work can begin immediately."

Lin Bei walked to the desk, took out a stack of brand-new Hong Kong dollar bills from his briefcase, and handed them to Wang Jianjun.

"This is your first month's salary."

"As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny. You've been traveling back and forth and your expenses must have been considerable. Take this money and use it for now."

Wang Jianjun quickly declined, his attitude resolute.

"No, Mr. Lin, we haven't even started working yet, how can we receive our wages in advance?"

Lin Bei feigned displeasure and spoke in a deep voice.

"I told you to take it, so take it."

"I can afford this little bit of money."

This kind of straightforward care is both warm and profound.

For the first time, these tough guys felt the consideration from their boss, and a warm current surged in their hearts, almost causing their eyes to redden.

Seeing the moved expressions on everyone's faces, Lin Bei shook his head slightly and turned to give instructions to Yao Wen beside him.

"Awen, take Jianjun and the others to check out the newly renovated staff dormitory in the tenement building."

"While you're at it, help everyone get their Hong Kong Island identity cards so they don't run into the police and cause unnecessary trouble."

"Understood, Brother Bei!"

Yaowen responded respectfully and turned to look at Wang Jianjun and his group.

"Brothers, I'll take you to your dorms."

"Thank you, Brother Wen."

Wang Jianjun and his entourage responded in a deep voice, and before leaving, they bowed to Lin Bei again, showing complete courtesy.

"Why are you being so polite?"

Lin Bei watched the departing figures of the group and sighed inwardly.

Establishing a security company is a crucial step for him to whitewash his future, gradually transforming the gray industry into a legitimate business so that he can maintain a long-term foothold in Hong Kong.

Knock knock knock!

A sharp knock on the door suddenly broke Lin Bei's thoughts.

"Come in."

Lin Bei looked up at the door and saw Huo Baoming leading Gao Jin through the door. The two walked steadily and looked respectful.

"Brother Bei!"

"Mr. Lin!"

The two greeted each other in unison, their attitude humble.

"Um."

Lin Bei nodded slightly, stood up, and gestured for the two to walk to the tea table and sit down.

"Ah Jin, are you fully recovered?"

Gao Jin smiled gently and spoke sincerely.

"Thanks to Brother Bei, I have recovered quickly thanks to proper rest during this period, and the doctor has allowed me to get out of bed and move around normally."

Lin Bei's eyes lit up, and he spoke up.

"Since you're all healthy, I happen to have a job for you."

Gao Jin instantly suppressed his smile, straightened his back, and became serious.

"Please give your instructions, Brother Bei."

"Don't be so tense, it's not a dangerous job."

Lin Bei waved his hand, his tone relaxed.

"I have a martial arts school on Shanghai Street. The previous owner was weak and incompetent, so I dismissed him."

"Now that you have fully recovered, you will become the head of the martial arts school and be responsible for training my underlings."

Gao Jin hesitated for a moment, then asked aloud.

"Brother Bei, what level of skill do you expect me to train these people to?"

Lin Bei was slightly taken aback, as he had not considered this issue in detail before.

A group of street thugs don't need to become top-notch masters of scaling walls and leaping across rooftops.

"Don't be too strict, as long as their combat strength and discipline are better than those of people from other clubs."

He changed the subject, a long-term calculation flashing in his eyes.

"By the way, I plan to open a property management company later."

"Once the martial arts training is on track, you will take over the management of the property company, and the trainees will also be transferred to work in the company."

"From now on, we will change the protection fee for the gang into a regular property management fee."

"We take full responsibility for the personal safety of our neighbors, the security of our shops, and the security of our community."

This novel transformation idea instantly piqued the interest of Huo Baoming, who was standing nearby, and his eyes were filled with longing.

"Brother Bei!"

"This line of work seems suitable to me. Could I work with Brother Jin?"

Lin Bei rolled his eyes at him, his tone bluntly teasing.

"You didn't even finish high school, you're always idling around, what do you know about property management?"

"And it's a job that matches your major?"

Huo Baoming scratched the back of his head, gave a simple smile, and did not refute.

"Alright."

"Since you want to stay, you can stay at the martial arts school to assist Ah Jin for the time being."

Lin Bei made the arrangement on the spot.

"When we expand our territory, we'll divide it into zones for you and put you in charge of the property security in those zones."
