When people interact with each other, their first impression is often inaccurate. After getting to know each other, Su Ming discovered that Jixiang, a gangster, did not rely entirely on fighting and killing, but his main business was actually seafood.

"So you opened Jixiang Seafood?" He Baowen found a men's jacket to wear, very surprised.

"Is it very famous?" Su Ming asked.

He Baowen nodded and said, "Jixiang Seafood is very famous, fresh and authentic, and never sells frozen or dead goods."

Jixiang patted his chest proudly: "Of course, doing business is not about grabbing territory. Only when the goods are good will customers come. I can't put a knife on people's necks and force customers to buy seafood!"

"If you dare, I will be the first to drag you to jail!" He Baowen said.

"Haha, Madam, don't worry. Brother Le taught me to abide by the law when he saw me last time!" Jixiang said with a smile, and then said a little depressed: "But Madam, you should also understand our difficulties. It is very difficult to do all legitimate business in a short period of time. Investment requires money, and bank loans are difficult. Now you also know that the seafood market is very competitive, and I have to take care of my brothers..."

"Wow, I just ate a fish from you, do you still want me to introduce you to business?" He Baowen shrugged: "Okay, then our team's dinner will be scheduled at your place in the future. But the police department is short of funds, and the Independent Commission Against Corruption is watching all day, so our dinner expenses are very low."

"Hehe, Madam is willing to take care of it, which is very face-saving." Jixiang said a bit perfunctorily.

Su Ming thought a little further and asked: "Do you export seafood here?"

"Of course, if there is a large-scale export, my income can be greatly increased. But foreign countries have their own fisheries, so they don't need to buy from Hong Kong, right?" Jixiang said inexplicably.

"It's not a foreign country, it's the mainland." Su Ming smiled and said, "I have a catering business in the mainland."

Eating fish in Jixiang's restaurant, of course, is not just a dish of fish. Su Ming paid attention and found that the seafood in Jixiang's restaurant was indeed fresh and authentic as He Baowen said. While eating, there were several waves of people who looked like restaurants coming to buy ingredients, and there was also a deliveryman. Jixiang's brothers carefully checked the seafood sent by the other party, and even scolded the other party because a few mantis shrimps died.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing. What Jixiang said may not be true, but Su Ming silently observed everything and did not tamper with the ingredients because it was a store opened by a gangster. Of course, if all this was deliberately arranged by Jixiang, then the gangster's mind was too deep, and there was no need for it, because Jixiang should not know that he was running a catering business in the mainland, and deliberately came to win his favor and orders.

The domestic seafood business is very hot, and ordinary people like to eat seafood, but there are two big problems.

In inland cities like Yangchuan, due to geographical problems, most seafood is not so fresh. A few restaurants sell fresh seafood, but due to freight issues, the price is expensive;

Even in large hotels, as far as Su Ming knows, not all seafood is alive, and it is good to have a 50-50 split. In the case of less strict supervision, merchants are of course profit-seeking.

The seafood in coastal cities is guaranteed to be fresh, but the price is too expensive, and it is often overcharged. Especially in tourist cities, locals are better, but it is normal for tourists to be overcharged, but the merchants are just different in the depth of the knife.

Occasionally, there is a seafood restaurant with good quality and low price, even if it is a small shop in a corner, it can become popular.

So Su Ming thinks that there is a big gap in the seafood market in Yangchuan City. What is lacking is not goods or markets, but conscientious enterprises.

The restaurant business is currently just Su Ming's "sideline" and belongs to the peripheral industry sequence. He is not in a hurry to make money from it. What he needs to do at this stage is the same as the initial stage of all other enterprises under his name: lay a good foundation.

Fame and reputation are both indispensable.

Hong Bo and Su Ming had a special chat. In the past five years, high-end restaurants in China will not be popular again. Going the high-end route is a death wish unless you have a deeper purpose and do not expect to make money from it.

Hongjia cuisine is the best example. With a century-old reputation, top chefs in China, and Hong Bo's experience, it still cannot be preserved.

The problem is not with Hongjia cuisine itself, but with the domestic environment.

The great flow of history is mighty. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish.

The reopened Hongjia cuisine does not go the high-end route, but the civilian route, targeting the urban middle class.

The introduction of affordable seafood is just in time.

"Wow, I said Su Sheng is my benefactor!" When Su Ming said that a catering company in the mainland wanted goods, Jixiang's attitude immediately changed.

No matter how much the people in He Baowen's police station can eat, how much money can they spend? Besides, their identities are somewhat awkward after all. He Baowen may just talk about it, and he may not really bring people to eat and drink.

But catering companies are different. If they want to get orders, they must be big orders. If they do well, they can feed a large number of people by supplying goods exclusively for a catering company.

Being a boss like Jixiang is glorious on the surface, but the pressure behind the scenes is actually very great. Apart from other things, just a group of younger brothers who hang out with him have to rely on him for support. Sometimes they are arrogant and ruthless just to make business smoother.

Su Ming left Hong Bo's phone number to Jixiang and said, "For specific matters, you can talk to this person. He is responsible for the specific operation of the catering company." His face became serious and he said, "Brother Jixiang, since it is a business, everything should be done according to the rules. If there is a problem with the seafood and it is not done according to the contract, don't blame me for not giving face to Brother Le."

"Mr. Su, don't worry. My family has been fishermen for generations. If I smash this sign, I will be embarrassed to enter the ancestral grave in the future." Jixiang said.

After dinner, Jixiang found a black doctor for Su Ming.

It is very difficult to take the medical qualification exam in Hong Kong. You need a basic education, and even the test paper is in English. These two items alone have stumped many grassroots doctors.

Some of these people are traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and some are inherited from their families. How could they have attended medical school and speak English?

There are also many Western doctors who have received formal training. Due to various negative reasons, mainly ethical issues, such as accepting red envelopes and having relationships with patients, they have been found by the Medical Association and the Independent Commission Against Corruption and their medical qualifications have been revoked.

These people constitute a huge team of black doctors in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's regular hospitals are strictly managed. When they receive knife and gunshot wounds, they will notify the police immediately. Therefore, Hong Kong gangsters usually do not go to hospitals when they are injured. They all look for these unlicensed black doctors.

The level of black doctors varies. The best ones are no less skilled than the attending doctors in large hospitals. The poor ones can even kill people by pulling out a tooth.

The injury on Su Ming's buttocks is indeed not easy to expose. It was hit by a dart, and it also involves Ho Po-man and the police pistol. It is very troublesome to investigate. It is better to have less trouble than more. I think the boss of the area, Jixiang, will not find a black doctor with unqualified skills to treat himself, so he nodded and agreed.

The black doctor is called Lam Kwok-wan, a very poetic name. He looks gentle and fair. It is completely impossible to tell that he is a beast in human skin whose license was revoked because he peeped at his female colleagues in the toilet.

"Wow, Mr. Su, the muscles on your buttocks are very dense. Have you trained your gluteal muscles?" Lin Guoyun applied medicine and bandaged Su Ming skillfully, while speaking without restraint, with a frivolous smile on his face, and said to Jixiang: "Brother Jixiang, you are right to listen to me. Exercise your buttocks muscles more often. Men with strong buttocks are super powerful in bed! If you can be half as good as Mr. Su, I guarantee that you can pick up girls without spending money, and all the ladies will pay for you..."

"Do your thing!" Jixiang glared at him fiercely, but also secretly glanced at Su Ming's buttocks, and then looked at He Baowen who was guarding outside the door, wondering if it was really because Mr. Su was too powerful in bed that this young female chief inspector ignored her status and got together with him?

Subconsciously touching the flat buttocks, Jixiang thought to ask his younger brother to get a gym membership tomorrow.

Just after the bandage was done, Jixiang received a call, and the man was arrested!
