Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

"You're not fucking kidding me, are you?!"

Blackie's eyes were sinister and suspicious as he looked at Liu Kun, who was sitting on the edge of the bed. But Liu Kun was no saint either. He chuckled, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "Blackie, I, Liu Kun, used to be from Zhou Tian. Don't you know who I am?"

"Your father knows your character too well, you rotten Kun," Blackie pulled over a chair and plopped down, the chair creaking under his weight. "You, rotten Kun, are notoriously untrustworthy. Tell me, after all these years, have you changed your ways or not?"

Liu Kun wasn't embarrassed or angry that Blackie had exposed his true colors in front of Pepper. He simply chuckled, walked over to Blackie, pulled up a chair, and sat down. "I, Lan Kun, have swindled a lot of people out of their money over the years, but Blackie, is your bullying and monopolistic behavior any more ethical than mine?"

"You're all rotten sweet potatoes pulled from the ground, you're rotten on the surface, and I'm rotten on the inside, so let's stop making fun of each other," Liu Kun said with a chuckle. "Let me tell you, Blackie, this year's sweet potatoes are not as good as last year's taro, buddy, I've hitched a ride on a super-powerful water tap!"

"Who did you swindle this time? I wouldn't be surprised if you got hacked to death in the street the other day," Blackie said, not believing Liu Kun's words at all.

"Big water pipe? That idiot big water pipe could be fooled by your lousy Kun."

Liu Kun didn't argue. Instead, he took out a torn-up newspaper from his pocket, unfolded it, and showed it to Hei Pi. "Do you know who this person is?"

Blackie rolled his eyes as he looked at the man in the newspaper, dressed in a suit, chatting and laughing among a group of cadres in Zhongshan suits. "Your dad can't even read, what the hell are you showing me with this tattered newspaper!"

"So all you know in your life, Blackie, is fighting and killing? You're only good for being a local bully in Huipu County, showing off your power," Liu Kun said, folding the newspaper in half and holding it in his hand. "With this crackdown policy from above, you, Blackie, are only worth five cents a peanut!"

"What did you say, you idiot!"

Hei Pi stopped his underlings from cursing. Hei Pi thought Liu Kun's words were true. He could only act tough around Zhou Tian Commune and didn't dare to go to Huipu County.

Liu Kun pointed to the folded newspaper and said, "Chen Zaidong, the billionaire who came back from America, he throws hundreds of millions of dollars into business with just a few strokes of his pen, do you know that?!"

"Wow! Time to burn paper money for Qingming Festival!"

"Hundreds of millions of US dollars? If you make it sound any more exaggerated, your mouth is almost as good as the goddess Luo Shen's," Blackie clearly didn't believe Liu Kun's words.

Liu Kun unfolded the newspaper again, pointing to one of the cadres wearing a Zhongshan suit, and said, "This is Zhou Haimin, the Party Secretary of our Tuocheng Municipal Committee, this is Lin Deying, the Party Secretary of Nanshan District, and this is..."

Liu Kun listed the positions and names of these officials to Hei Pi one by one, making Hei Pi frown. "Is this guy really a tycoon who came back from America?"

Blackie already believed Liu Kun's words about 70-80% in his heart when he asked this question, but he still asked it out of habit. Liu Kun didn't answer his pointless question, but continued, "The big water pipe I'm talking about is this Chen Zaidong!"

"You! You've hooked up with this Chen Zaidong?"

Blackie and his henchmen all burst out laughing. "Rotten Kun, you're getting better and better at lying and bragging. So, you've hooked up with him, what benefits did he give you? To let you come back to Zhou Tian."

"You know about foreign exchange, right? I'm currently helping Boss Chen with this business," Liu Kun said with a smirk, leaning back in his chair. "Boss Chen has reached an agreement with the municipal party committee and the People's Bank of China. The foreign exchange license for Tuocheng will be handled by Boss Chen, and I, Liu Kun, will be in charge."

"Now I'm the person in charge of managing things under President Chen. President Chen trusts me and entrusts me with all matters, big and small," Liu Kun said, gesturing to Pepper next to him to pull out his bag.

Pepper understood and tried to remain calm, but his hand zipping up the bag was still trembling slightly. He knew that if the people on the other side, including Blackie, planned to double-cross him, given Blackie's influence in Zhou Tian, ​​he and Liu Kun wouldn't be able to keep the more than 200,000 yuan in the bag.

But Liu Kun was "skilled and daring," confident that he could fool the illiterate scoundrel Hei Pi. He unzipped the zipper, revealing bundles of banknotes to Hei Pi and his men. Hei Pi suddenly stood up, the screech of the chair dragging on the floor was extremely jarring, and he rushed to Pepper's side, squinting at the money.

To be honest, Blackie was indeed tempted. All that money would be his if he just killed Liu Kun and his accomplice. But then he thought of Chen Zaidong, whom Liu Kun had mentioned earlier. Someone who could contact people in the legitimate world and had obtained a foreign exchange license must have considerable influence.

Liu Kun probably told Chen Zaidong during his trip to Zhou Tian that if he really killed someone and robbed them, he would probably live to take the money but not live to spend it.

"This money was all arranged by Mr. Chen at HP. As you know, not everyone has foreign exchange. If you don't put up real money, no one will exchange with us."

"Hey, you have connections in Zhou Tian, ​​can you spread the word for me and get all those families with foreign currency to bring it to the guesthouse? I'll exchange it with them at the highest market rate," Liu Kun said with an expression that said, "I'm not short of money."

Dark-skinned man's eyes darted around, and he chuckled as he glanced at the money in his bag. Reluctantly, he walked back to Liu Kun's side. "Brother Kun, you really have connections! Tell your brother about it!"

Liu Kun glanced at Blackie with disdain. "What are you talking about? You don't believe me anyway. Go ahead and spread the word that I'll give you ten dollars for every person who comes to redeem. Don't say I'm not taking care of you, Blackie."

"No way, Brother Kun. You have such connections; it was my fault for being blind earlier. See, could you introduce me to President Chen as well? Hehehe!"

"cannot!"

"No, Brother Kun," Blackie, ever the opportunist, fawned over Liu Kun, "Brother Kun, we're all best buddies who grew up together in Zhou Tian. If you have a way to make money, you have to help me out!"

"You think you're so rich?" Liu Kun scoffed. "Do you think President Chen can just let people in for a piece of the pie? In our industry, we have a monopoly license in Tuocheng."

"Without a deposit, you can forget about getting involved in this industry!"

"How much deposit is required?"

"It'll cost at least 100,000!"

Dark-skinned man exclaimed in surprise, "So many!"

"Is that a lot?" Liu Kun gave him a look that seemed to say, "You're such a country bumpkin." "I've already staked 700,000 with Boss Chen. Otherwise, do you think Boss Chen would dare let me and Pepper casually flaunt over 200,000?"

"A deposit of 700,000, wow!"
