When he heard Jiang Cheng's question, Johansson thought that the place was too cold, so he rubbed his head and said in embarrassment.
"That's right, Cheng Ge. I want to promote Taekwondo in France, a fighting technique with China's characteristics. But because I don't have money, I can only afford to rent this kind of commercial house. There aren't many people hiding in the corner, and there are even fewer who are willing to pay the tuition fee. So I teach for free. There is some fitness equipment inside, and now it's actually equivalent to an ordinary fitness club."
"Good, very good!" Jiang Cheng looked at him with appreciation. He had a good impression of people who loved and promoted Chinese culture. "Let's go. Bring me in to have a look."
Johansson was flattered by Jiang Cheng's praise and quickly nodded in agreement.
After entering, Jiang Cheng found that the Jeet Kune Dojo was very big, about two hundred square meters. There was some fitness equipment in front of the shop. Not only was the variety not complete, but the quantity was also insufficient. There were only a few, and it was estimated that it could only accommodate a dozen people working out at the same time. Some parts of the equipment were rusty, and it was most likely second-hand goods. Life was really tight!
Touching his nose, Jiang Cheng was a little touched. Life was so difficult, but they still wanted to promote Chinese culture and increase the influence of Chinese culture overseas. In comparison, those Chinese businessmen with bulging wallets were simply wasting food!
"Cheng Ge, this is only the first floor. I'm also using the second floor now. Because the landlord's house is too remote, I can't rent it out, so I'm using it together. The upper floor is the same size as the lower floor." Johansson looked at Jiang Cheng's sweeping gaze and knew that he was satisfied with the house, so he said with a smile.
"Oh, is that so? That's great! The Lung Hing Society has just developed in France and has no foundation. It's good to have such a place as a stronghold. "Jiang Cheng nodded with satisfaction.
The upper and lower floors added up to nearly five hundred square meters, which could be used to purchase a lot of things. It would become a small stronghold for the Lung Hing Society. Not to mention, it would be a good choice to use it as a training ground for the brothers of the Lung Hing Society. As long as they bought some exercise equipment, they could immediately start practicing Jeet Kune Do. If the body was always inactive, there would definitely be problems.
Fifty members of the Dragonrise Association entered the dojo with bags of all sizes. Everyone tossed their luggage to the second floor, while some of them began to exercise on the gym equipment out of curiosity. They even grabbed the equipment used to practice Jeet Kune Do and waved them around.
The brothers here were the kind of people who were active in sports and dared to fight and kill. This kind of place seemed to be just right for them.
"Big Brother Zhuge, bring our brothers to pack up and make arrangements. We will be staying here for two days. After we find a house, we will move out." Jiang Cheng said to Zhuge Liuyun, who was at the side. After that, he turned his head and looked at Johansson.
"Since this place has already become a branch of the Dragonrise Association, you can give me a breakdown of the rent and other expenses and report them to Big Brother Zhuge. Other than that, throw away all the fitness equipment and replace them with new ones. I want this place to become a real fitness club and look brand new. Do you understand?"
Johansson immediately smiled. He was under a lot of financial pressure. Now, with just one sentence from Jiang Cheng, his worries were immediately lifted. He still had to renovate the club, which was exactly what he wanted to do, but he didn't have the money to do it! He quickly nodded and promised, "Cheng Ge, I understand. I will do it immediately!" He immediately grabbed his mobile phone and ran out of the dojo.
Everyone busied themselves, and soon, a space was cleared on the second floor for everyone to stay in.
In less than two hours, just after the cleaning was done, several large trucks were parked in front of the Taoist temple. New fitness equipment was moved into the dojo one after another, along with various kinds of furniture and entertainment equipment, including wardrobes, table tennis tables, stools for changing clothes, and so on. Soon, the Taekwondo dojo looked brand new.
The east corner of the deep first floor of the dojo was separated into a small room for changing clothes. According to Zhuge Liuyun's plan, the west corner would be transformed into a place for bathing.
When they came to the second floor of the dojo, the east corner was also separated into a huge private room, which was particularly tight. It would be designed as a temporary hospital for the Lung Hing Society. In France, if a person was wounded by gunshot or knife and went to a regular hospital for treatment, he was likely to be targeted by the police, which would cause unnecessary trouble.
Among the 50 brothers who came with Jiang Cheng, five of them were professional doctors, who were the best doctors from the Longxing Hospital in China. Their treatment methods were not inferior to those of any Western superb doctors.
Four or five hours later, it was getting dark. Jiang Shan was standing outside the Jeet Kune Dojo, looking up at the sign of the dojo with a smile on his face. Not long ago, the somewhat dilapidated sign had been completely replaced. The original Jeet Kune Dojo had been changed to Lung Hing Jeet Kune Do Hall!
Jing Long ran to Jiang Cheng with four or five brothers. When he came to Jiang Cheng's side, Jing Long said to Jiang Cheng while panting, "Brother Chen, I've already investigated the nearby terrain. Although this dojo is remote, it's really a good place for us gangsters!"
After taking two breaths, Jing Long said happily, "Although this dojo is in an alley, and there are usually few people coming and going, there are a lot of small roads around it. There are a total of three small roads that can be used to get in and out. We don't have to be afraid of being besieged and having no way to escape. Not only that, if we arrange spies on the left and right buildings, if someone wants to attack the exit of the road below, we will immediately find them."
"Good, well done. Draw these routes into a map and send it to each brother. Let them remember it. In addition, we are now in France. In the future, we will expand the Lung Hing Society to the whole of Europe. Let the brothers learn more English when they have time, so that they won't be confused when they go out," Jiang Cheng said.
"Yes, Cheng Ge, you have thought about it very carefully. I'll tell the brothers now." After saying that, Jing Long turned his head and was about to leave.
Jiang Cheng hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Wait!"
Jing Long turned his head and looked at Jiang Cheng. "Cheng Ge, is there anything else?"
"You are so impatient. Remember, this is France, not China. Don't be impulsive when you encounter something. Do you hear me?" Jiang Cheng said to Jing Long with a straight face.
Jing Long smiled awkwardly. "Cheng Ge, I got it. I promise I will pay attention." After saying that, he ran away.
Looking at his back, Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly. He knew Jing Long's temper the best. The reason why he brought him to Europe was that he was worried that he would not listen to other people's words when he was not in China. At that time, it would cause trouble for Brother Xiao He. Jing Long had good skills and was good at leading the brothers to fight, but he was easy to be impulsive.
When Jiang Cheng walked into the clubhouse, it was already brand new. All kinds of fitness equipment were brand new. Not only was the equipment complete, but there were also a lot of them. It was enough for more than 100 people to train at the same time. Even the ceiling and lights had been refurbished. The entire Taoist temple was no longer old and dilapidated, and it was quite imposing.
"Hello, Cheng Ge!" The young French people of the French branch of the Lung Hing Society stood neatly in a row and greeted Jiang Cheng loudly in Mandarin that was not very standard.
These young French people saw that Jiang Cheng had taken action as soon as he arrived in France. In just a few hours, he had made the Jeet Kune Dojo look brand new. They couldn't help but have the idea of doing something big. They became proud of being a member of the French branch of the Lung Hing Society.
Jiang Cheng looked at these French underlings in front of him and nodded. There were some ripples in his heart. This was the first group of foreign underlings that he had!
"Cheng Ge, I have already explained the situation to them. Those who stay are those who dare to fight and want to be in the underworld. I have persuaded the others to leave," Johansson came to Jiang Cheng's side and said.
This was what Jiang Cheng had asked him to do. First, he had to make these French members aware that the French branch of the Lung Hing Society was no longer a place where people only practiced boxing and exercised. Now, it was a place where risks and benefits coexisted.
"Mmm." Jiang Cheng nodded and counted. Including Johansson, there were a total of seventeen French underlings standing in front of him. Nine of them had left. He didn't care about those who had left. This was how the members of the Lung Hing Society were. They would rather have nothing than have something substandard!
"Clap, clap, clap …" Jiang Cheng clapped his hands gently. The brothers that he had brought from the Lung Hing Society also gathered one by one. They lined up in a group of ten people in front of him. Finally, Lin Yu, Zhuge Liuyun, and Jing Long stood in front of this group.
"Cheng Ge!" More than fifty people shouted at Jiang Cheng at the same time.
Jiang Cheng's eyes glanced at everyone's faces. He nodded and said, "Today should be the day when the French branch of the Lung Hing Society is re-established. I won't say any polite words, but please remember that everyone here today is the founding father of the European Lung Hing Society. To commemorate this day, I announce that everyone here will be given a reward of 10,000 euros!"
"Thank you, Cheng Ge!"
When the people around them heard this, they all became excited and whispered to each other. This was especially true for the French youths who wanted to join the underworld. They immediately received a sum of money as soon as they officially joined the Dragonrise Association. They immediately felt that they had made the right choice and looked at Jiang Cheng with even more respect and passion.
