Chapter 172 Membership Fees
Now, the price of entrusting on the market is 10 yuan per month.
If you can collect 200 apprentices, the income of one month alone will be 2,000 Hong Kong dollars!
This is really a big piece of fat!
Ip Man bowed his fists to Hong Zhennan with gratitude, "Master Hong, thank you very much!"
Hong Zhennan smiled faintly and said in a slightly soft tone: "Well, no matter what, we will be a family in the martial arts world in the future. If you encounter any trouble, just look for me. Oh, by the way, if you open a martial arts school, you have to pay a membership fee of 100 yuan a month, don't forget this."
"Member fee?" Ip Man frowned.
Hong Zhennan coughed, took a sip of the medicinal tea, and said lightly: "It's just 100 Hong Kong dollars, you can earn 2,000. Do you still care about this 100?"
Ip Man asked seriously: "But, I must know why the 100 yuan was paid. If I were to start a sect, then I had completed the challenge and I didn't have to pay this membership fee, but I could also open a martial arts school."
Hong Zhennan frowned, "Do you think this 100 yuan is for me? I lack this 100 yuan per month?"
Ye Wen asked: "Since it's not for you, who is the money for?"
Hong Zhennan sighed and said in a deep voice: "It's for the ghost head."
"Ghost Head..." Ip Man immediately understood. The so-called ghost head was the English Police Chief.
Hong Zhennan said coldly: "Yes, the shipping port is our homeland, but now the shipping port is an English colony! If you pay some security fees every month, the ghost will come to us! By then, no one will have good results!"
Ip Man clenched his fists hard, "...Master Hong, I won't pay this money."
Hong Zhennan looked at Ye Wen in surprise, "Master Ye, are you kidding? Do you want to fight against me or against the ghost head?"
Ip Man bowed his fists and said, "Master Hong, I am not going to fight against you, I just think it is wrong for you to obey the ghost head like this. They will be as obedient as maggots, constantly eroding and plundering our people's wealth and ointment!"
Hong Zhennan sneered and said, "Master Ye, I don't understand this principle better than you? But what can we do now? We want to travel from the shipping port now. The nationality on our passport is not Tang State or England. The one written on our passport is [refugees]! Refugees!"
Hong Zhennan roared in grief, "The ghosts regard us as second-class citizens and trampled on our dignity at will. The land under our feet is obviously ours, but it is occupied by them! What else can we do besides enduring now?"
Ip Man sighed, "I understand your hardships, but I won't pay this 100 yuan."
Hong Zhennan said angrily: "Okay, Master Ye! You can still establish a sect, but you are not protected by me, Hong Zhennan. If you have any trouble with your martial arts school in the future, it has nothing to do with me! Along Afa! Save guests!"
Huanglong Huangfa walked to Ye Man and bowed and said, "Master Ye, please."
Ip Man bowed to all the martial artists present, and all the martial artists present avoided Ip Man's eyes and did not return the gift.
Who dares to get close to those who offended Hong Zhennan?
"A Feng, let's go."
“Yes, Master.”
Xu Feng followed Ip Man and walked out of the West Ring Hotel.
After leaving the hotel, Ip Man turned around and asked Xu Feng, "...A Feng, do you think your master is stupid?"
Xu Feng smiled and said, "From the interests of businessmen, you are indeed stupid, Master."
Ip Man frowned immediately.
Xu Feng continued, "But, Master, you are not a businessman after all, but a master. Since you are a master, there is no reason to surrender."
"...a generation of masters?" Ip Man's eyes were bright and he said with a smile: "A Feng, why do you speak so well?"
"Haha, Master, I'm telling the truth." Xu Feng smiled naturally.
"I won the challenge today, which is a happy thing. Let's go buy a roast duck and go home to have a drink in the evening." Ip Man said happily.
"Wait for Master." Xu Feng looked around and looked around. Not long after, Zhou Guangyao jumped out from behind the West Ring Hotel with his camera in his arms.
Zhou Guangyao said excitedly: "Brother Feng! Uncle asked! You are so awesome!"
"Have you taken the photos?" Xu Feng asked.
Zhou Guangyao took a picture of the camera, "Don't worry, the wonderful shots of you and Uncle Wen are all inside."
Xu Feng smiled and said, "I don't want me, just master's, remember to write things simple and clear, so that everyone knows that Wing Chun will not defeat Hongquan."
Zhou Guangyao hurriedly said, "Why not write about Wing Chun defeating Hong Quan?"
Ip Man smiled and said, "Because I didn't beat Hongquan, we just tied. If you write that I won, the people from the Hongmen will definitely come to cause trouble for you."
Zhou Guangyao nodded and asked curiously: "Uncle, if there is no time limit, can you beat Hongquan?"
"this……"
Ip Man thought for a moment and said with a faint smile: "There is a saying that "Fist is afraid of being strong for a young man. Hong Zhennan has a high skill in his kung fu, but unfortunately his body is no longer the same as before. If he was at his peak, I would definitely not beat him. If he could tie, it would be a burning incense. But now he has poor endurance, and Hong Quan is particularly pursuing endurance martial arts. My Wing Chun Quan does not eat very much endurance. So, if we continue to fight today, he may lose in the second incense stick."
Zhou Guangyao said excitedly: "Wing Chun is so amazing!"
Ye Wen said lightly: "No, there is no difference between martial arts, the key lies in people. In another ten years, I will be old, and I am afraid I am not as good as Hong Zhennan now."
He glanced at Xu Feng meaningfully, "This world has always belonged to young people."
"Oh by the way, Guangyao, go and call your dad and come to my house for a meal."
"Will this... disturb Aunt Yongcheng too much?"
"No, we can just buy more ready-made dishes."
"Okay, please uncle!" Zhou Guangyao ran away in a hurry.
Ip Man and Xu Feng first returned to the rooftop martial arts hall and roughly explained the results of today's challenge.
The apprentices were so excited that they hugged each other and celebrated each other.
Ip Man assigned another training task, and then took Xu Feng to the vegetable market and cooked butcher shop.
As the evening approached, Zhou Guangyao brought Zhou Qingquan to Ip Man's house with the freshly washed Zhou Qingquan.
Old friends gathered together and were particularly moved.
It was not until late at night that Zhou Guangyao took Zhou Qingquan away and went back to write a report on "Wing Chun Fighting Hongquan".
Xu Feng also returned to the rooftop martial arts hall to rest.
