Jing Hairen pointed out this problem to his face, which was actually a subtle reminder to Yue Zhenshan that businessmen are not officials.

Rescuing people is actually a thankless job.

If you spend your own money to relieve disasters, if too many refugees are gathered, it will attract the attention of the warlords, and they will be targeted at that time. For businessmen, suppression from the policy side is very fatal.

"I know, but I have the ability to save them now. If I don't provide help, how can my conscience be at ease!"

"They are of no use to us now, they are a burden, but... we are human beings, and these children are the future of our nation. If we don't even save the children, then we have no future."

"I can save every one of these children."

"Adults can fight for a slim chance of survival in this troubled world, but these children, if I don't save them, will probably starve to death or freeze to death in some unknown corner or under a bridge."

"From now on, any child within my control who cannot survive, from 3 to 12 years old, will be adopted unconditionally. If they are 12 to 16 years old, if they are willing, then take them as apprentices and give them a mouthful Eat.”

"Hurry the shopkeeper, you are personally responsible for this matter."

"After we return, we will build a charity home in Renjia Town to take in these homeless children."

"Okay, boss!"

"You will definitely be a great philanthropist who will bring Buddhas to thousands of families in the future."

Cui Changli reminded Yue Zhenshan that it was something he had to do as a qualified shopkeeper. He reminded his boss not to damage the business due to other things. This was what he had to say, even if he was reprimanded by Yue Zhenshan.

But now, Yue Zhenshan's choice put a smile on his face again. The boss is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, but he is not blindly pedantic. He only saves those children who are in trouble.

When other wealthy businessmen buy people, they either buy strong men who can work, or they buy delicate-looking girls.

What Yue Zhenshan bought was the future...

"Brother Zhou, long time no see!!"

"How's business those days?"

In a teahouse in Foshan, in front of Yue Zhenshan, is a man in a suit wearing gold-rimmed glasses.

This person's name is Zhou Qingquan, and Yue Zhenshan's restaurant Linjiang Tower was bought from him. When he left Renjia Town and came to Foshan to open a factory, Yue Zhenshan took over the restaurant at a reasonable price, and the two formed a good relationship. edge.

"Oh, don't mention it."

"It's hard to do business because the water in the factory is too deep."

"The cotton spinning machines I bought before were a bit backward. The cost of the products produced was higher than others, so I could barely keep the company running. I was careless. Now I am trying to buy more advanced machines from foreign countries."

When Yue Zhenshan heard Zhou Qingquan's complaints, he was not surprised by his plight.

Today's advanced cotton spinning machines are peripheral, and no domestic machinery factory can find advanced cotton spinning machines.

The machines Zhou Qingquan could buy were probably renovated old looms, adding wooden hand-operated yarn looms, wooden pedal looms and warping machines. Naturally, this set of machines could not compete with foreign machines.

The explosion of foreign industry began with the textile industry.

The Jenny spinning frame appeared again in 1770, the three-cylinder carding machine was created in 1774, and the spinning frame was invented in 1779. Around the end of the 18th century, draw frames and roving frames were invented.

The mechanization of cotton spinning engineering starts with the spinning frame, so the spinning frame is sometimes also called the spinning frame.

The processes before spinning are collectively referred to as pre-spinning, including blowrooming, carding, drawing, carding, roving, etc. Different pre-spinning processes are composed of raw cotton fiber length, impurity content and yarn quality requirements. Before spinning processing, raw material selection must be carried out. The processing after spinning includes winding, doubling, twisting, twisting, etc.

Zhou Qingquan's current factory only produces primary products for pre-spinning.

"Brother Yue, you didn't come to Foshan specifically to see me this time, right? Are you planning to come to Foshan to open a restaurant?" Zhou Qingquan continued to ask as he poured tea for Yue Zhenshan with his own hands.

"To be honest, I am indeed planning to open two restaurants here. I am planning to open one on the dock side and one in the city center."

"I came to visit Brother Zhou today mainly to ask you about the situation here."

"I don't know, brother-in-law, what news do you want to know?"

When Yue Zhenshan accepted his restaurant, he offered 30,000 yuan to buy it. It can be said that it helped a lot. Now that his old friend comes, Zhou Qingquan will try his best to help.

"The forest is so big, there are all kinds of birds."

"Brother Zhou, your family used to run a restaurant. You should know very well that running a restaurant is most afraid of gangs and local gangsters who are deliberately looking for trouble. Do you think outsiders like us need to go to the church?"

"So that's what happened. Foshan is fine here."

"This is not like the countryside. The government here is relatively strong. No gang dares to harass businesses openly."

"In addition, Foshan is good at martial arts and has many martial arts schools and apprentices."

"As long as some guards are hired as bodyguards, ordinary gangsters will not dare to harass businesses, because behind the bodyguards are large martial arts schools. If there is a conflict, the gangsters may not be able to defeat the martial arts gyms."

After Zhou Qingquan understood Yue Zhenshan's intention, he felt relieved. If Yue Zhenshan wanted to borrow money from him for turnover, he really didn't have it. His cotton mill was half dead and embarrassing.

"That's it, then it's easy."

"What are the famous martial arts schools in Foshan? Go visit one or two and ask their disciples to be the guards of the restaurant here." Problems that can be solved with money are not a big deal.

"There are many martial arts schools here. I don't know their advantages and disadvantages, but I have a good friend who studies Wing Chun."

"I can act as a middleman and introduce you to meet." Zhou Qingquan came to Foshan. When he first came here, he was targeted by a group of thieves on the road. Fortunately, he met his friend who was studying Wing Chun and escaped from danger.

"In that case, thank you, Brother Zhou, for your help in bridging the gap."

"No, Brother Yue is polite."

When the two left the teahouse, it was already afternoon.

After the two agreed on the time to meet next time, Yue Zhenshan began to return to the dock. Yesterday, a restaurant was acquired at the dock. The entire restaurant is 30% high and the architectural style is a typical classical loft model.

After taking over, Yue Zhenshan did not carry out the so-called modernization.

There was no change in the decoration, only the management model was adjusted.

Yue Zhenshan plans to build Linjianglou into a brand, with the initial target being the Guangdong and Guangxi regions. These prosperous docks along the river are its landing locations, and later relying on Linjianglou, a set of intelligence systems will be established in secret.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

"Your face is almost turning into a bitter melon face. What's the problem?" Yue Zhenshan just entered the restaurant and found that everyone's expression was not right, so he asked directly.

"Alas——"

"Don't sigh, Tingting, tell me what's going on."

"Brother Yue, someone came to collect protection fees this morning, 100 yuan per month, starting tomorrow."

"They said that if you don't pay, don't even think about doing business at the dock."

Ren Tingting had never encountered such a thing before. In Renjia Town, it was good enough that people didn't collect protection fees. When she was in the provincial capital, she was studying at school. She would never encounter such a period in the ivory tower. Suddenly, this happened, and Ren Tingting was a little panicked...

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal."

"Don't worry, Tingting, I promise to handle it tomorrow. Go upstairs and rest first. You are so tired today. You will be tired again at night."

"Brother Yue, you are annoying..."

Ren Tingting's face was slightly red, and she couldn't help but punch him in the chest with her little fist.

Seeing that the others seemed to be smiling, she couldn't stay any longer and stepped on the wooden ladder to go upstairs.

Afterwards, Yue Zhenshan began to discuss things with others.

The guards brought this time were all elites trained by the previous guards.

With the Blood Evil Soul Devouring Knife in charge, most of them have reached the stage of Ming Jin. If it weren't for the strong government power here, the scum who came to collect protection fees before would probably have been sunk to the bottom of the river.

"A Biao, have you inquired about the details of the group of people who collected protection fees?"

"This matter has been clarified. That group of people are from the boat gang." Lin A Biao responded immediately. When the group went back before, a guard brother quietly fell behind and then sorted out the details of these people.

"What kind of gang is the boat gang? Is it powerful?" Yue Zhenshan asked.

"Most of the members of the boat gang are porters who make a living at the dock. Their leader is a disciple of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School. The Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife in his hand is extremely fierce. It is said that the entire boat gang is a subordinate force of the Black Tiger Martial Arts School."

"Very good, the boat gang and the Black Tiger Martial Arts School are under the charge of collecting protection fees. I will meet them tonight. A Biao, you go to send a visiting card to the boat gang, and go to the hall tonight..."

Night falls, and the moon is as bright as day.

Not far from the dock, there is a wide river beach.

Nearly 400 people from the boat gang gathered and surrounded an open space. The gang leader was Yuan Lichang.

There were eight halls under him. These eight people also knew kung fu. They didn't work at ordinary times. They just supervised and led the boat gang members to work.

It was equivalent to a foreman, but it was different.

The foreman of this era spoke with fists. Whoever could beat others would be in power.

Nie Kuang had the hottest personality. He took a few steps forward with the visiting card that Lin A Biao had given him during the day, and then rudely shouted: "Lin A Biao, you twenty people want to compete with us for territory. You must be tired of living!"

"What do you want, a one-on-one fight or a group fight?"
