A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 56 The road to the master is just business!
Saying goodbye to Liu Yubai, Hua Twelve greeted his partner Liu Yi without waiting for the time for business, saying that he had to leave early if he had something to do, and asked him to take care of the street patrol.

Liu Yi enjoyed all the black money he collected these two days, so he naturally did not respond to Hua Shier's request. He also said that if he didn't have enough time, he wouldn't have to go to work in the afternoon. It's time to report back to the police station.

Hua Twelve left the patrol block and went straight to the next street. He already had a plan on how to earn his first pot of gold and expand his influence, that is, to open a martial arts gym.

In the real world where he lives, Grandmaster Liu Jialiang, the grandson of Grandmaster Lin Shirong of Hong Quan, claims to have [-] disciples in Hong Kong Island in later generations, and his influence can be seen.

The master of Wing Chun, Ip Man, has disciples from all walks of life. The most famous disciple, Bruce Lee, is an internationally renowned martial arts superstar. His own social status is also very high. Even in those years when Hong Kong Island was the most chaotic, both black and white Give him face.

Hua Twelve planned to take this road of master first, but he wanted to treat this road as a business.

On the way to the police station today, he spotted a place that was very suitable for opening a martial arts gym, and it was on the next street.

A small two-story building with a courtyard of more than [-] square meters, with a notice for lease and sale hanging in front of the door.

Hua Twelve came to the door in green clothes. The owner of the house was called Uncle Wang. He was shocked when he saw the green clothes coming.

Uncle Wang told Hua Twelve that this house was used by him to open a leather goods store. He originally imported some leather goods from Nanyang to sell in Hong Kong, and the business was pretty good.

But in the past two years, pirates have been rampant, resulting in high purchase costs and difficult business. In addition, he is getting older, so he simply stopped doing it.

I originally planned to sell the house directly so that I could return to the countryside for retirement, but it was not sold after several months of listing, so I planned to rent it out.

Hua Twelve asked about the selling and renting prices. Uncle Wang quoted 500 Hong Kong dollars for selling, and [-] Hong Kong dollars per year for renting.

This price is not cheap for Shen Yang's salary, one year's rent almost catches up with his two years' salary.

But Hua Twelve thought it was okay, so he didn't counter the price, so he paid the money on the spot and asked Uncle Wang to write the lease, and the two signed and pledged, and the one-year use right of the house belonged to him.

After sending Uncle Wang away, Hua Twelve only had more than four Hong Kong dollars left in his hand. He got a hundred and eight dollars from Hou Sheng, gave one to Zhang Lizi for his wife to help clean up the house, and gave two to Liu Yubai. I spent 100 yuan for breakfast and [-] yuan to pay the rent, and it seems that this will be spent.

Hua Shier decided to start implementing his money-making plan immediately.

After locking the gate of the courtyard, Hua Shier went out for a walk and ordered a lot of things to open the martial arts hall. Everything had to be delivered urgently in the afternoon.

What Hua Twelve ordered was not weapons like swords, guns, swords and halberds, nor plum blossom piles, wooden dummy piles, and stone locks and stone piers for building strength. He could afford those things with the little money in his hand, but If I buy it, I can only drink northwest wind tomorrow.

What he ordered was a martial arts hall signboard and a pair of couplets in front of the gate.

When the master carpenter who made the plaques and couplets heard Hua Twelve's request, he was stunned in shock and asked again and again whether this was the case, but he got an affirmative answer.

The master carpenter looked at Hua Twelve as if he was looking at a lunatic, but for the sake of money, he helped him make it quickly.

Because the request was too urgent, the workers hung the tung oil in front of Hua Shier's newly rented yard before it was dry.

As soon as the plaque and couplet were hung up, it caused a sensation in no time, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch, pointing and discussing.

I saw a couplet next to the gate. The first couplet is "Fist crushes the martial arts circles in the north and the south", and the second couplet is "Foot town all directions to be a pedestrian!"

There is a plaque hanging on the door beam with eight big characters: "No. [-] in the world, the leader of Wuzhong!"

In this day and age, people in the country pay attention to a modesty. Even Yang Luchan, who fought all over the capital, was only called Yang Wudi, and he didn't hang the plaque of "No. [-] in the world" in front of his house.

Because it is too hateful.

It can be said that once the couplet and the plaque are hung, the owner here is to challenge the warriors of the world and become the enemy of the world.

Hua Twelve naturally knew this, but he was not a martial arts man. He opened a martial arts gym as a business to make money and accumulate contacts, so he used the marketing methods of later generations, that is, shouting slogans and being unconventional.

Look at those successful mentors of later generations who open their mouths and say, "I made 100 million yuan this year", or something like "I will give him [-] million yuan if someone betrays me", "Someone treats me to dinner, I have to catch a plane, and the other party greets me for dinner. Let the plane wait a while'.

Well, listening to these words is not like a normal person, but when this kind of person gives a speech, hundreds or even thousands of people in the audience are excited and believe it.

Slap your hands, stomp your feet, and shout slogans, and let those bragging mentors make a lot of money one by one.

Hua Twelfth just wanted to use this method, first blowing the conch to the sky, and then talking about it. Of course, unlike those successful mentors, he really has strength, but his words are a little exaggerated.

As for whether he will be hated by his peers because of this, and come to kick him out?
Hua Twelve said that it couldn't be better if the business came to the door!
Anyway, Liu Yubai said that no one who practices martial arts in Hong Kong Island is his opponent, and if someone comes to the gym, it will make him famous faster, so that he can gain both fame and fortune.

As for whether there will be mainland masters coming to kick the hall, this Hua Shier thinks it is unlikely. It is not easy to travel from the mainland to Hong Kong Island these days. Come to the door from afar.

Even if a master really came to kick the gym, he would not be afraid, let's talk about it first, according to what Liu Yubai said, his strength is not inferior to the Great Sword King Wu, and it may not be just as strong.

If he really can't beat him, he won't be afraid. Anyway, he is a policeman. He spends money and uses some tricks to justify a crime of illegal entry procedures and just deport him directly.

In a big deal, he would quit the martial arts world. Anyway, he should have made a lot of money at that time. As a police officer of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, which master would dare to attack the police?That is a felony!

Seeing the crowd outside, Hua Twelve, who had already taken off his police uniform and put on a coat, walked out of the yard, cupped his fists and said to the onlookers:

"In Chongyang, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child. I am the champion of Hong Kong Island Police Force's three consecutive martial arts competitions. I feel that I am invincible in the world. Today, I open the museum to accept apprentices. The purpose is to earn money and promote Chinese martial arts. Friends who like martial arts are welcome to come and learn comminicate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted: "Master Shen, aren't the words on your plaque and couplets too arrogant? Are you not afraid of being kicked every day?"

The man shrank back after yelling, but the words he asked resonated with the people present. They all said yes, and some old gentlemen shook their heads repeatedly.

In fact, the person who shouted was Liu Yi, and Hua Twelve asked him to shout these words, just for the effect in front of him.

I saw Hua Twelve said with a smile: "Naturally I'm not afraid, my martial arts gym is called 'No. Friends in the martial arts world should communicate more!"

"If you want to compete in martial arts and come to challenge, you are also welcome. If any friend or senior in the martial arts world can beat me, not only will my plaque be taken off, but I will also kowtow and serve tea to admit my mistake!"

As soon as he said this, discussions started again, some said that Hua Shier was too arrogant and Yelang was arrogant, and some said that since this master dared to accept the challenge, he must be capable.

Hua Twelve waited for these people to talk about it, and was about to speak, when someone in the crowd shouted:

"I come!"

While talking, a fat man dressed in western style squeezed out from the crowd. This fat man was wearing a combination of Chinese and Western styles, a shirt and a waistcoat, and a bamboo cowboy hat on his head.

Hua Twelve couldn't help but startled slightly when he saw the fat man, not because of how mighty the fat man looked, but because he knew this face, and this face shouldn't appear in this world.

He was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "This brother is named Gao, what do you want to ask for when you come out?"

The fat man also clasped his fists together: "My name is Zhuo Yifei, if you want to save face, call me Brother Fei!"

"I don't own a martial arts gym, but I have practiced boxing and kicking for several years. I am not convinced by your plaque. Today I want to experience how powerful you are, the number one in the world and the leader of the martial arts world!"

Hua Twelve hung up the plaque and couplet to attract people's hatred. At this time, Zhuo Yifei publicly challenged it, which immediately attracted a lot of applause.
