Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

On the sampan, Shi Zhijian moved his slightly sore arm.

At this time, a small hand took a handkerchief to help him wipe his forehead.

"Mr. Shi, are you tired?"

Su Youwei widened her beautiful eyes and looked at him.

Shi Zhijian shook his head, "Not tired, how about you?"

Su Youwei also shook her head, "I'm not tired either, I'm so happy when I think about seeing my mother and brother soon."

In the night, the two of them took a small sampan and drove towards the water hut where Su Youwei once lived.

After a short while, the sampan has traveled to a continuous area of ​​floating houses on the sea.

Those floating houses are built with some old wooden boards, tied with thick hemp ropes and connected in a row on the sea.

From a distance, as the sea rises and falls, those floating houses sway up and down, like the backs of rows of sharks on the sea.

"Mr. Shi, our house is coming soon." Su Youwei jumped up suddenly, pointed to a dilapidated hut not far ahead and said, "That's my house, my mother and brother are all there."

Uncle Dahai laughed and said, "Girl Su, do you want me to help you call out your mother?"

"No, I'm going to give them a surprise." Su Youwei also became naughty.

A bulging fish urinal was bundled in one place in the hut, and the sampan leaned directly on it to flatten the urinal, and slowly stopped with the help of a buffer.

After Uncle Dahai quickly drew the sampan closer, he threw the rope up, jumped onto the hut by himself, and tied the rope.

Su Youwei has lived at sea for a long time, and has long been accustomed to the ups and downs, so she jumped directly over.

Shi Zhijian couldn't grasp the center of gravity a little. When he jumped over with a gift, if Uncle Dahai hadn't rushed forward to help him, he might have fallen.

"Auntie, little brother!" Su Youwei knocked on the door and shouted.

"Who is it? It's You Wei?!" A female voice came from the broken house.

"Mom, is my sister back?!"

With a creak, the door opened, and a woman with dark skin and haggard expression leaned out. A little boy was hiding behind her, staring out with wide black eyes.

"Yeah, it's my sister! It's really my sister!" The little boy rushed out from behind the woman and rushed into Su Youwei's arms.

"Little brother!" Su Youwei squatted down and cried.

"This is Mr. Shi, who is a good man." Uncle Dahai solemnly introduced Shi Zhijian to women, especially the word "good man".

Then he said that Shi Zhijian was Su Youwei's boss, he had a factory on land, and Youwei worked in his factory.

When she heard that this was her daughter's boss, the woman hurriedly invited Shi Zhijian into the house.

Shi Zhijian lifted something, and Uncle Dahai helped to lift something, and the two crowded into the room one after the other.

The room was very narrow, with kerosene lamps lit, and the furnishings inside were even more rudimentary, not even a table or chair.

Shi Zhijian was a little surprised. You must know that Su Youwei's salary in the company is not low. Every time she is paid, she sends money back. Logically, their family shouldn't be so poor.

How did Shi Zhijian know that Su Youwei sent the money home, but it was a money order.

The woman was illiterate and didn't know what it was, so she kept a large sum of money and didn't know how to use it, and her life was still tight.

The woman didn't know where to let Shi Zhijian sit.

In the end, Uncle Dahai was smart, took the rice jar directly, and found a wooden board to put it on, and let Shi Zhijian sit on it.

Shi Zhijian was a little embarrassed. There was rice eaten by others. Is it appropriate to sit on it by himself?

But looking at the woman's posture, and Uncle Dahai's enthusiastic appearance beside him, it would be even more inappropriate if he didn't sit.

Shi Zhijian's buttocks just sat on the rice bowl, and the woman brought over the sugar water.

This is the highest level of etiquette for their people. When guests come, they have to make sugar water. White sugar is a very luxurious thing for them.

Shi Zhijian took the sugar water with both hands and took a sip, but when he looked up, he saw the woman and Uncle Dahai looking straight at him and smiling at him.

Shi Zhijian had no choice but to take another two or three sips. When he was about to put it down, Uncle Dahai said, "This is very precious white sugar water." After speaking, he licked his lips and swallowed, "On our side, only distinguished guests are eligible. drink."

Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, understanding that the other party meant to let himself drink the sugar water, otherwise it would be impolite.

But Shi Zhijun couldn't drink such a big bowl of super-sweet sugar water.

It happened that there were many voices outside at this time.

"You Wei is back?"

"A Shui Bo, hello!"

"Youwei is beautiful again!"

"Sister Sea Urchin, hello!"

Shi Zhijian took the opportunity to hand the Dahai Bowl to Uncle Dahai: "I'll go out and have a look!"

Uncle Dahai was taken aback, "Ai----!" He looked at Su Youwei's aunt again, "How about I drink it?"

The woman nodded, and Uncle Dahai pointed at the bowl of the sea happily and gulped for a while, then pursed his mouth with his hand, "Uh!" He burped.

...

The originally small room was crowded with people.

Su Youwei's mother Aunt Su, younger brother Su Xiaodi, Uncle Dahai, A Shuibo, Sister Sea Urchin, etc., all of them stared at Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian felt like an ornamental animal in a zoo, being surrounded by people. He, who has always been calm and comfortable, was a little embarrassed.

In order to resolve the embarrassment, Shi Zhijian said: "Since the people are all together, why don't you share the gifts, it's a big New Year's Eve!"

"Don't worry, we'll ask you a few questions." A Shuibo was the oldest, and he was the most qualified to speak.

"Well, what are you asking?"

"What's your relationship with Youwei?" Ah Shuibo knocked on his cigarette pot.

"I am her boss and she is my subordinate."

"That's it?"

"Well, that's it."

A Shui Bo glanced at the people around him and said, "What else are you watching? There's no drama!"

"Hey, I thought You Wei found a good family!"

"Yeah, it looks like her life is still bad!"

"How can people really like You Wei when they open a factory on land?"

Everyone said to me, Su Youwei could hear clearly next to me.

Originally, she was sitting on the ground with her legs in her arms, with a shy face, but now her shy cheeks slowly turned pale.

Aunt Su glanced at her daughter and said softly, "If you want to open up, accept your fate, we are a family of Dan, and we are not worthy of others."

Su Youwei nodded, she wanted to say something but didn't say it, but tears came out first.

Shi Zhijian, who was sitting on the rice vat, looked confused, what did he mean? What was it just now?

He thought that the other party was just asking casually, and he just said a few words casually, but it seemed that he had missed something just now.

"Hey, Mr. Shi, isn't it? Our family's rules are very simple. If you send You Wei back, we can't let you go back empty-handed."

As A Shui Bo said, he let Uncle Dahai and Sister-in-law Sea Urchin prepare.

Soon a boat came over.

A Shui Bo pointed to the boat and said to Shi Zhijian, "Our Dan family has nothing of value. Since you have given us so many gifts, this boat is full of worthless seafood. You can take it back!"

Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, then walked over to take a look, and saw the cabin full of sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fins, fish maws, and some precious groupers and so on.

Is this worthless?

Shi Zhijian is a catering company, and he also serves seafood hot pot.

According to the current market seafood prices, the treasure in this cabin alone is worth at least 30,000 yuan!

Shi Zhijian looked surprised, turned his head to look at A Shuibo and the others, doubting whether these danmins had a brain problem.

A Shui Bo seemed to see what Shi Zhijian was thinking, and said slowly: "These things are worthless to us, and they can't be sold for a price in our hands. Mr. Shi, if you have the ability, you can sell them all. Now, I wish you a great fortune!"

It turned out that these Danmins had humble identities and were called untouchables, thinking that they had bad luck on them.

Therefore, the precious seafood such as sea cucumber and abalone they salvaged will be sold at a low price.

Those who receive the goods are all from the community, and rely on the strength of the community to unite to keep the price down. Often, a top-quality abalone of three to five hundred yuan can be sold for at most three or five yuan in their hands.

These people also protested and struggled for this, and negotiated with the associations responsible for receiving the goods, but the result was that no one dared to accept their things, whether it was sea cucumber or abalone, they were all rotten in their hands.

After this struggle, Ah Shuibo and the others also figured out that they are untouchables, and they are not qualified to negotiate with others. If they accept you as a charity, the only thing they can do is to fish honestly and sell honestly. Fish, no matter how low the price is, still accept it.

After listening to the narration of Ah Shuibo and others, Shi Zhijian suddenly had a very crazy idea.

Before that, he always wanted to control the supply of raw materials for hot pot restaurants, especially seafood.

Because Shi Zhijian knows that ~www.readwn.com~ the biggest profit of the hot pot restaurant is actually the supply of raw materials, and the biggest weakness is the supply of raw materials.

As long as this aspect is not under control for one day, your own hot pot restaurant will be controlled by others.

So now, here's your chance.

Shi Zhijian smiled at A Shui Bo: "Are you interested in discussing a business?"

Ah Shuibo and the others look at me, I look at you.

Shi Zhijian's brain jumped too fast, they couldn't keep up.

"Business? What business?"

"Yeah, we are all fishing at sea, what's there to talk about?"

"Of course! You have the goods, and I have the demand, which forms a perfect supply and demand chain, so—"

Shi Zhijian smiled at them again, "If you want to make a fortune, come together!"
