After a few minutes, no one else came out.
"Very good, the ones left are willing to participate in the training, right?" Zhou Kai asked.
"Right!" Everyone nodded.
"That's good." Zhou Kai nodded and said, "Then I officially announce, those who stayed are now officially disciples of the Jvyi Gang. Of course, as disciples of the Jvyi Gang, we can't treat you poorly. Starting this month, your salary will be increased by twenty percent, and additionally, your benefits will go up by fifty percent."
Wow...
The scene was suddenly in an uproar.
Especially those who stood out, they were dumbfounded, who would have thought, that just as they stepped out, the other side would immediately announce a salary increase. If they had known a raise was on the table, they wouldn't have stepped out no matter what. It's just training, after all, no harm comes from it. Plus, they can get a raise, isn't the reason they joined in the first place to earn some wages?
"I also want to participate in training!" Someone stood out.
"Me too." Others starting raising their hands.
"Hmph, a bunch of useless deadweights, who wants you!" Huo Di scolded angrily.
"Exactly, who wants you!" Shouts of insults erupted from the crowd.
"You also want to participate?" Zhou Kai smiled as he looked at them.
"Yes, yes!" They all nodded.
"Alright." Zhou Kai nodded and said, "However, you will join as an auxiliary team, you are not disciples of the Jvyi Gang, so you won't enjoy the benefits that our disciples do, meaning no salary increase or benefits."
"What?!" They froze, and asked, "Why? On what basis?!"
"There is no why or on what basis!" Zhou Kai shook his head and smiled, "Because I am the deputy Gang Leader of the Jvyi Gang!"
At that, everyone was immediately silent. After all, the Jvyi Gang belongs to someone else. Also, the money comes from them, it's not anyone's. They immediately understood the implications, and had no choice but to lower their heads, silently standing there without another word.
"Huo Di, divide the teams." Lin Chuan said, "The dock, warehouse, and cold storage areas need to have essential staff. Reduce the number of people in other areas and use the surplus for training."
"Yes!" Huo Di nodded immediately.
Then, the group was split in two. Huo Di was very familiar with their job functions. Quickly, he divided them, with over a hundred staying at the fishery for work, and the others remaining for training.
Zhou Kai, Lu Dapao, and Huang Bo served as rotating instructors. They stood at the forefront of the group.
"Starting today, the three of us are your instructors, you must unconditionally obey us." Zhou Kai looked at them seriously, then said, "You must unconditionally obey our orders. Understand?"
"Yes!" More than a hundred people nodded in unison.
"Louder!" Zhou Kai roared.
"Yes!!!" They all shouted.
"Very good." Zhou Kai nodded, he smiled and said, "Today is our first day of training, and the training plan is simple, physical recovery training. Run five laps around the fishery."
"What?!" They were shocked.
The fishery's perimeter was several kilometers, five laps, that would be about ten to twenty kilometers.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Kai smiled, "Not willing?"
"Zhou Kai, this... isn't it too long?" Huo Di asked awkwardly, "Look, at my age, how can I manage to run that?"
"Huo Di, you won't be joining the training." Zhou Kai smiled and said, "You'll serve as our logistics during training. People are bound to get thirsty and hungry, so you'll be there to provide water and snacks."
"I... I also want to train." Huo Di said awkwardly.
"Forget it." Zhou Kai laughed and said, "Don't worry, your salary and benefits will be the same as theirs."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Huo Di was overjoyed. Initially, he didn't want to join the training, but for money, he had no choice. Now, hearing he could get a raise and bonus without participating was a delight.
Others looked at Huo Di with envy, but considering his age, everyone couldn't help but agree. After all, Huo Di was already in his fifties, expecting him to train was practically a death sentence.
"Alright, start running." Zhou Kai waved.
Despite the cold wind, they started sprinting around the fishery. Fortunately, it was cold, and they initially treated it as a warm-up. Soon they got hot, took off their clothes, and even some ran shirtless.
To motivate them, Zhou Kai shouted openly, "Listen up, whoever finishes first will receive a reward of 100,000 yen."
Money is the greatest motivator, especially for these overseas workers, earning is their motivation. They wished to start the battle first, to reach the finish line first.
Motivated by money, they began to sprint. The allure of money is endless, after all.
"Whoa, are they risking their lives?" Lu Dapao asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, you can't die from running." Zhou Kai laughed.
"Haha..." Lu Dapao laughed heartily and said, "This is the result I wanted. Let's keep this rule, whoever wins first place gets 100,000 yen. It's nearly a thousand bucks. Why didn't we have such opportunities before?"
"If the first place could earn a million, the Jvyi Gang might have gone bankrupt back then." Lu Dapao laughed heartily.
The training at the fishery commenced, and this decision laid the foundation for the Jvyi Gang to establish itself in Japan. The Fukuoka disciples soon became loyal followers of the Jvyi Gang overseas.

Hong Gate. After yesterday's failure, Bai Yifan was extremely annoyed. They took over fifty people yesterday, an armed troop, practically a brigade. But it was useless, only about thirty returned, the remaining twenty were unaccounted for. It's not hard to guess they were probably dead, as per Jvyi Gang's style, likely fed to the sharks in the sea.
Four Seasons Hotel.
This is a prominent hotel in Fukuoka run by Hong Gate, similar in nature to Fuchuan Hotel. It integrates hotel services, accommodation, catering, and entertainment. The bottom five floors are casinos, the sixth to tenth floors feature health massages, and above ten are hotel accommodations.
In a conference room on the first floor of the Four Seasons Hotel, over twenty people sat in neat rows, each with a solemn expression.
At the head of the table sat Bai Yifan, puffing a cigarette, his eyes brimming with anger. Below, over twenty Hong Gate disciples sat in earnest. Their expressions were equally grim.
A bespectacled man at the back curiously scanned the room.
"Mr. Bai." The bespectacled man looked at Bai Yifan and said, "Actually, I think yesterday's failure was inevitable."
"Why do you say that?" Bai Yifan glanced at him.
"Firstly, Hong Gate's brothers were too complacent; secondly, we underestimated Jvyi Gang's strength." The man continued seriously, "Third, we were completely unfamiliar with the fishery's environment. These combined are our biggest failure points. It's not that we are lesser, but we didn't take them seriously."
At this, the bespectacled man paused briefly.
"Continue!" Bai Yifan urged.
"Right." The man nodded and said, "Think about it, the Hundred Rivers Association and the Triad were wiped out by the Jvyi Gang, so why shouldn't we take them seriously? This loss, though grave, offers us a profound lesson. It warns us to truly value them from within."
"That makes sense." Bai Yifan nodded.
The others were deep in thought. Then someone asked, "Wang Heng, so what should we do?"
The bespectacled man chuckled and said, "I'm not much, but I request to lead the team against the Jvyi Gang."
"You?!" Everyone looked at Wang Heng.
"Yes!" Wang Heng nodded promptly.
"Then tell us, how do you plan on dealing with the Jvyi Gang?" Bai Yifan asked with a smile.
"That's easy." Wang Heng grinned, "Station people near Fukuoka Fishery, attack on sight, beat them down. I doubt Jvyi Gang will hide forever, if they don't come out, they can't get supplies. Heh..."
Everyone was enlightened.
"That's a good plan." A man in a black suit nodded immediately.
"Hmm!" Bai Yifan nodded slightly, "Though slow, it's a worthy tactic. Wang Heng, the task is yours. Aim to wipe out Jvyi Gang's forces as much as possible."
"Understood!" Wang Heng nodded promptly.
Bai Yifan had resolved to fight Lin Chuan to the end. They were sworn enemies now. Bai Yifan was confident in eliminating Lin Chuan. Once Lin Chuan is gone, the world will be perfect. As long as Lin Chuan lives, it torments Bai Yifan.
