Chapter 498: Chapter 462: Planting the Flag, Hua Jian

He Ye was initially stunned upon hearing the words, then his face lit up with joy. "Master Wu, really?"

Wu Li nodded. "Of course!"

"That’s great!"

He Ye stood up and bowed to Wu Li. "Thank you, Master Wu!"

The disciples standing on both sides also bowed to Wu Li. "Thank you, Master Wu!"

Neither party had discussed the price yet, but He Ye knew that since Wu Li had proactively agreed, he certainly wouldn’t make things difficult for the Shared Guardian Association in terms of price.

"Wu Li is impressive!"

"So generous!"

"Awesome!"

"First opening a Martial Arts Hall, then organizing combat competitions, and now starting a security company—it seems Wu Li is playing a big game."

"Ha ha, it really does seem so."

...

The audience in the live broadcast also praised Wu Li.

Wu Li bowed to He Ye and the group of disciples from the Martial Arts Hall. "Don’t mention it, we are all Chinese; watching out for each other is what we should do."

In fact, Wu Li had planned to take this order even if it meant losing money, for a simple reason—he wanted to make a statement!

Every industry has its own Jianghu where overt and covert battles are unavoidable. When Wu Li first told Li San about his idea to start a security company, Li Shan subtly warned him that starting a security company would offend people and snatch others’ livelihoods.

Now, the opportunity with the Shared Guardian Association was an excellent chance, as no major security company was currently willing to take their business. This allowed Wu Li to start without offending those large companies, giving him a good beginning.

Based on what He Ye had just said, and Wu Li’s own understanding, the security business in Southern F was indeed difficult. Besides some big contracts, many large security companies were unwilling to take on ordinary protection jobs. Firstly, because the payments were not high, and secondly, because it was prone to casualties. As He Ye mentioned, the cost-performance ratio was not high.

Thus, in Southern F, although there were many security companies, there were no major players; the vast majority were small companies with dozens of employees, and the biggest ones had only a few hundred people, mostly operating between two or three cities.

In this situation, Wu Li planned to make a name for his company through the business from the Shared Guardian Association, erect his banner, and then gradually expand from Cape Town to all of Southern F and even beyond!

"Master He, aside from these ten disciples, can the Shared Guardian Association spare more people to join the security company?" asked Wu Li as he and He Ye sat down again.

He Ye appeared troubled. "It’s not that I’m unwilling to provide people, but the elite forces of the Shared Guardian Association are limited and there’s a lot to take care of, so they can’t be fully committed to the security sector."

Wu Li smiled and waved a hand. "Master He, you misunderstand; regular members are also fine, not just elites."

"Regular members?" He Ye frowned. "Master Wu, ordinary members working in security might not only fail to protect others but could also end up risking their own lives. You brought elites from Hongmen this time; you should understand what I mean."

Wu Li smiled. "I’m starting a security company, and while I need elites, I also need ordinary trainees. I will train them bit by bit until they can stand on their own before sending them out on missions, so Master He, you needn’t worry."

As he spoke, Wu Li suddenly turned towards the camera. "Here, I’m also making a public recruitment call."

"As you’ve seen, I plan to establish a security company primarily to protect the safety of overseas Chinese. So, the main scope of our operations will be overseas. I now officially invite anyone interested in joining my security company to apply. I will give priority to veterans, police officers, or professional bodyguards."

"Once you join, I will personally train everyone. In fact, many people might know that I initially collaborated with dozens of Traditional Martial Arts Masters to compile a book called ’Modern National Martial Arts Record.’ This book mainly documents nineteen styles of Martial Arts Training Methods and competition techniques, all adapted by me and the masters to be most suited for modern ring competitions."

The ’Modern National Martial Arts Record’ was completed two years ago. After a year of practical experience and competition experience, Wu Li had the Traditional Martial Arts Masters and students who participated in the Combat competitions share their experiences. Everyone discussed and further improved the ’Modern National Martial Arts Record.’

Now, ’Modern National Martial Arts Record’ has two versions: one is focused on introductions and training methods, released online by Bo Yuan Company with video tutorials and text explanations, available for purchase on major websites, including on Wu Li’s Mo Yin account. The other version of the ’Modern National Martial Arts Record’ is an internal teaching material for Bo Yuan Martial Arts Hall, not for sale, and only those who join Bo Yuan Martial Arts Hall and sign contracts to become professional competitors will have access to learn from this version.

Wu Li looked at the camera and continued, "The ’Modern National Martial Arts Record’ is a book prepared specifically for ring competitions, but in my hands, I also have another book that I’ve named ’National Martial Arts Practical Combat Record,’ not yet made public. It records various Martial Arts styles and killing moves, including hand-to-hand combat against blades or firearms. It is a book prepared specifically for real combat!"

"All those joining the security company, I will personally train you, and the ’National Martial Arts Practical Combat Record’ is prepared as your training material."

After Wu Li finished introducing, the comment section of the livestream exploded.

"Damn, there’s such a thing?!"

"Is this the legendary Secret Martial Arts Manual?"

"Wow, I guessed right. Wu Li is indeed playing a big game, splitting National Martial Arts into two categories, now he’s making full use of everything."

"I’m getting tempted just hearing about it!"

"Me too, I really want to learn. Is this book for sale?"

"What are you thinking, upstairs? How could such a book be sold? Aren’t you afraid of an inspection?"

...

Regarding the "Modern National Martial Arts Record," all fans of Wu knew about it. Many fans even bought a copy online to support Wu, even though they just wanted to look at it and had no real plans to practice it.

The online reputation of the "Modern National Martial Arts Record" was also quite good. Many self-learners said that this book was a conscientious work that opened new doors for Traditional Martial Arts, carving out new paths in the modern combat world!

All in all, the evaluations were very high.

With the Yanhuang Technique successfully organized in Hua Country, and with Wu leading the team to win the championship at the Combat World Cup, the sales of the "Modern National Martial Arts Record" had soared, even tapping into international markets with many countries placing orders. Because all modern combat athletes knew that, even if they didn’t practice Hua Country Martial Arts, they at least needed to understand them well enough—otherwise, they were likely to face opponents who used those techniques in the ring!

The effects of Wu’s modifications to Traditional Martial Arts were so effective, they could even be described as great! Now that he said he had adapted Traditional Martial Arts not only for the ring but also for actual combat, what would others think?

Most importantly, Wu’s own combat capabilities were well recognized worldwide, no one would doubt Wu’s real-life fighting skills. So when Wu mentioned another book, "National Martial Arts Practical Combat Record," many people’s first thought was—Secret Martial Arts Manual!

And it’s a Secret Martial Arts Manual written by an unmatched expert!

Not just the viewers watching the live broadcast, even He Ye standing nearby felt his heart stir upon hearing Wu discuss "National Martial Arts Practical Combat Record."

"If only I could take a look," He Ye thought to himself. With Wu’s realm, a practical combat record summarized by him would certainly be of help even to a martial artist like himself.

"Wu, the audience is asking what the name of your security company is?" Chen Gang suddenly spoke up.

"Uh...."

Wu paused, realizing that after all this time, he hadn’t actually named his security company...

"Let it be Hua Jian, Hua Jian Security," Wu said.

Hua Jian, the sword of the Chinese.

Originally, Wu wanted it to be ’Hua Shield’, but thinking about it, since the main business would be overseas and being overly passive wouldn’t deter enemies, there are times when you need to draw your sword and show the power of the Chinese!

"Hua Jian...."

He Ye repeated, then looked at Wu with a complex expression.

He, nicknamed ’Yaksha Demon’, had been deterring the local populace with his fearsome reputation for many years, but He Ye knew his ferocity was forced. If he wasn’t fierce, he would be bullied. In fact, the Shared Guardian Association didn’t have enough strength, and in many situations, they had to be defensively passive; He Ye often felt overwhelmed and helpless.

And now Wu was setting up a security company here, naming it Hua Jian, which implied a readiness to take the offensive. This left He Ye deeply moved.

Wu continued to speak to the camera: "I will soon publish the salary and other benefits for Hua Jian Security on the official website of Bo Yuan Company. Everyone will be able to check it out on the website and also apply through there."

Then, looking at He Ye, "Master He, let me repeat."

He Ye: "Hmm?"

Wu said seriously, "The business of your Shared Guardian Association, my Hua Jian Security will take it."

He Ye’s face broke into a smile, and he nodded vigorously: "Good!"

Wu: "Master He, is there any particularly important person in the Shared Guardian Association that needs protection?"

He Ye: "Of course, there is our Association’s President, who is also the Chairman of the Cape Town Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Xie Ming. In the past week, Chairman Xie has already suffered three attacks. We lost several good men. Thankfully, the attackers just wanted to kidnap Chairman Xie and did not intend to kill him, which allowed us to help Chairman Xie escape."

Wu: "Alright, I’ll take responsibility for Chairman Xie’s safety."

He Ye appeared surprised: "Master Wu, are you going to handle this personally?"

Wu nodded, speaking calmly: "Yes, I want to see who can abduct someone from under my watch."

He Ye hesitated for a moment. Had someone else said this in front of him, he would have thought they were young and arrogant, ignorant of the ways of the world. But when Wu said this, He Ye only had one thought:

Perhaps only such a person was qualified to draw his sword against those lurking enemies!
