Chapter 70 Setting Sail!
According to Deng Wei's underlying logic, his enemies are those street thugs, and the most powerful people he ever meets are those street thugs.
With his enemies and his target both in mind, Deng Wei was determined to carve out his own niche in the martial arts world!
It's not only to protect himself from being bullied, but also to tell those who bully him that Deng Wei is not someone to be messed with!
Deng Wei's home was in a slum. Deng Wei felt that if he wanted to make a living, he had to go to the most prosperous places and join the biggest gangs!
Who knew that after Deng Wei was released, he would be whipped around by society and become completely disoriented. The gangs he encountered along the way all demanded membership fees from the start, ranging from six or eight cents to six or eight dollars.
Of course, you can give sixteen, eighteen, twenty-six, or twenty-eight, it's all about getting a lucky number. The more you give, the more value it will be.
Deng Wei didn't have that much money; he had to beg and plead with people to join.
Then they got completely messed up, didn't earn a single penny, couldn't join any gangs, but made a lot of enemies.
At Deng Wei's age, he is at the most impulsive and combative stage, and often gets into fights with others over a single sentence.
Since Deng Wei had no triad to back him up, the people he offended were mostly gangsters who formed cliques and often acted in groups of four or five.
Deng Wei has been beaten like this several times before.
This made Deng Wei determined to find the most prestigious person in the underworld to be his boss, and then use his iron fists to rise to power and return home in glory.
In Deng Wei's view, Zhang Guohao was skilled in martial arts, capable of kicking an adult man four or five meters away with a single kick. He also had a well-known reputation, and people would run away in fear once they recognized him. This kind of person was the kind of boss he should worship.
Unfortunately, Deng Wei, who was still inept at social skills, didn't try to curry favor with anyone; instead, he wanted to risk his life for them.
As Zhang Guohao listened to Deng Wei's story, he also realized Deng Wei's thoughts. Could this be considered a mutual commitment?
However, what Deng Wei said does fit with the situation of the Wo Luen Shing triad, which is mainly composed of small vendors and artisans.
Later, the famous triad businessman Jimmy had a life experience that was very similar to that of Deng Wei.
No wonder Deng Wei chose Jimmy to take over later!
"Let's go, I'll find you something to eat first. We can take our time with the club stuff."
Zhang Guohao stood up and waved to Deng Wei.
"it is good."
Deng Wei uttered a single word, trying his best to maintain his cool demeanor and act as if he were not to be trifled with.
"A bit cringey."
Zhang Guohao patted Deng Wei's chubby face, thinking to himself.
Deng Wei clearly has the genes for obesity. At his age, living in a slum, he is still quite chubby.
Zhang Guohao took Deng Wei directly to the dock and handed him over to Ai Wu.
"First, follow along on the boat, practice your boxing, and eat your fill. I'll come back in a few days to see how you're doing. If you've done well, I'll give you a future in the gang."
Zhang Guohao said to Deng Wei.
"Um."
Seeing that there were many people around, Deng Wei was afraid of being looked down upon or bullied, so he became extremely sparing with his words.
"Ai Wu, take this twenty yuan. Take him to buy some clothes and treat him to something nice. Teach him the Bajiquan you've been learning lately. Take him with you when you're on the boat, so he doesn't have too much free time."
Zhang Guohao called Ai Wu aside and gave him some instructions: since Deng Wei can be trained, then he should be trained properly.
It's said that when Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it first tests their will and strengthens their body... I wonder if Deng Wei will be able to lose weight.
Deng Wei followed Ai Wu to move the goods with a serious expression, without asking Zhang Guohao any questions. Zhang Guohao knew that this kid was indeed a smart person, but he lacked experience. He would take it slow.
"What brings you here?"
When he heard that Zhang Guohao was coming, Boss Huo also came out to see what was going on.
"We've found a promising talent. With some training, he could be very useful."
Zhang Guohao laughed, then waved the books in his hand.
"There's nothing serious here. I think we should chat with Lao Guo instead. I'm just here to find out where Lao Guo lives."
Zhang Guohao naturally couldn't ask Boss Huo to tell him about the pirates, so he could only ask the old captain of the ship he was assigned to for information.
"These books are all about things from decades ago."
Boss Huo glanced at the books in Zhang Guohao's hand, smiled, and pointed into the distance.
"Old Guo is over there. He can't stay idle. He comes to the dock to oversee his apprentices' maintenance of the barges."
"Then I'll go take a look."
Zhang Guohao greeted Boss Huo and went to find Lao Guo to find out what was going on.
……
Soon, the day of the pirate convention arrived. Before dawn, Zhang Guohao, Duan Tongtian, and Guo Dagui gathered at the dock, waiting for Boss Huo to send the latest news on where to meet the pirates.
"I've been there with the boss several times. These pirates are quite cautious and never leave a trace. There are many islands of all sizes around here, so they can easily hide somewhere and are not easy to find."
"However, a pirate tournament can't be held on a small island. Once, it was even held on a remote island. The pirates back then were quite formidable."
As a veteran pirate, Guo Dagui could talk endlessly about the pirates near Hong Kong Island in the past.
When sailing near Hong Kong Island, it's impossible not to come into contact with pirates.
As a veteran pirate, Guo Dagui had been in the business for a long time and knew more about the pirates than many newcomers.
"Old Guo, is everything ready on our ship? Are the fuel tanks full? Are there enough people? Is there enough food? Is the equipment working properly? Don't just keep talking nonsense, or we'll get lost when we get out to sea."
Zhang Guohao interrupted Guo Dagui, saying that preliminary preparations were very important, and that past deeds could be discussed later.
"You don't trust me to handle things? We've worked together countless times, and the boats I, Guo Dagui, pilot have never failed me!"
"The boss is back!"
Guo Dagui was about to boast about his seafaring history when he saw Boss Huo's fleet returning.
This time, Boss Huo's voyage is not only to transport goods, but also to make contact with the pirates and obtain specific instructions on how to participate in the pirate conference.
"It's all up here, so be careful."
As soon as he stepped off the boat, the still energetic Mr. Huo handed Guo Dagui a piece of paper.
Even if Zhang Guohao and Duan Tongtian were given this item, neither of them would recognize it or be able to find its location.
"Boss, just you wait and see!"
Guo Dagui ran straight to the boat, ready to set sail.
Be careful in everything you do.
Boss Huo once again gave instructions to Zhang Guohao and Duan Tongtian.
"Don't worry, boss."
Zhang Guohao and Duan Tongtian answered in unison and boarded the ship, which was already fully loaded with a lot of grain and pork, all of which were "gifts" for the pirates.
