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

"A deposit of 700,000, wow!"

Blackie gasped, the large gold chain around his neck swaying slightly with his movements. Seven hundred thousand wasn't an astronomical figure for him, but it was still almost half of his net worth.

In the remote and impoverished Zhoutian Commune, he made a living by collecting protection money and running an underground casino, earning at most tens of thousands of yuan a year.

"Don't think 700,000 is a lot. That's just to show Mr. Chen our sincerity. To tell you the truth, Mr. Chen spent far more than that just bribing his superiors to get this license," Liu Kun said with apparent certainty. "In America, he's a man whose every move makes the American government tremble. Why would he care about this little bit of money!"

"Let me tell you the truth, Blackie, if I just exchange all 200,000 for foreign currency and bring it back to Tuocheng, I can earn at least that much," Liu Kun said, holding up one finger.

"one thousand?"

"Damn it, I came all this way just for this thousand? I'm telling you, Blackie, you really have no sense of propriety! Ten thousand!"

"I can openly and honestly withdraw this 10,000 yuan from the bank in front of the police, and those people at the bank have to smile and see me off," Liu Kun said, his words becoming increasingly nonsensical, but the dark-skinned man opposite him was clearly intimidated.

Over the years, Hei Pi has made a lot of money in Zhou Tian through his underhanded methods, but it's all illicit money. Forget about depositing it in a bank; if the police found out, they would come to his door, arrest him, and confiscate it all as illicit funds.

Therefore, when Hei Pi heard Liu Kun say that he could openly withdraw money from the bank, he was actually very envious and longing for it, as he knew about Liu Kun's past "experiences".

This guy used to be a conman, and he was the sixth one who specifically targeted acquaintances to swindle people. But today, this kid swaggered into the guesthouse with more than 200,000 yuan in his pocket, obviously feeling fearless and having someone backing him up.

Seeing that Liu Kuang's story sounded very plausible, Hei Pi was convinced that it was probably true. Otherwise, Liu Kun wouldn't have dared to come here with over 200,000 yuan to tease him.

"Brother Kun, well... well, I'd like to have a taste of the soup too," Blackie said, rubbing his hands together and fawningly approaching Liu Kun. "Could you help me out? Ten thousand yuan is no problem; I'll try to scrape it together these next few days!"

"Come on," Liu Kun glanced at him, "Forget it, Blackie. Don't let him walk out the door and say that I, Liu Kun, was lying to you. You better help me spread the word that I'm only staying here for three days, and then I'll go to the county town."

Liu Kun wanted Hei Pi to come up with 500,000 yuan. A mere 100,000 yuan was not enough to fill Liu Kun's funding gap, so Liu Kun was playing hard to get with Hei Pi.

Seeing that even offering 100,000 as a deposit hadn't convinced Liu Kun, Blackie's eyes lit up. "Brother Kun, how about this? You've already staked 700,000 on Boss Chen's license, right? How about I put up 300,000, and we split 50/50?"

"What are you thinking, Blackie?" Liu Kun flatly refused. "This is a connection I set up myself. Let me tell you, your 100,000 yuan deposit will have to be held by me, making you my downline. You think you can bypass me and contact Boss Chen directly? No way!"

"We're all brothers, right?" Blackie took out a pack of Double Happiness cigarettes and offered one to Liu Kun. "How about I help you get introduced to him? I'll give you 400,000, is that alright?"

Liu Kun didn't take the cigarette. Instead, he took out his own Huaxin cigarette, lit it, and said, "Five hundred thousand. I'll take you to see President Chen. You can come see me with the money tomorrow, and I'll take you away!"

Dark-skinned man's eyes darted around. "That's a bit too hasty, Brother Kun. I need to gather some resources myself, you know. How about the day after tomorrow?"

Liu Kun chuckled inwardly. This was exactly the effect he wanted. A desperate criminal like Hei Pi must have a lot of shady money on his hands. Liu Kun had even heard that this bastard Hei Pi was involved in drug trafficking.

Whether it involves him or not is none of Liu Kun's business. All he needs is for Hei Pi to take out the 500,000 yuan and go to Jiping with him, and then have Wang Wenxi take him to see President Chen to discuss the license issue.

As for Blackie, after he went to Jiping and realized he had been tricked, if he dared to back out and take the money and leave, once he was on my turf, Liu Kun, although he was a member of the Thousand Gates, it didn't mean he wouldn't kill people.

Killing Blackie and the men he brought with him, burying them in a pit is a piece of cake. Don't underestimate the huge temptation of 500,000 yuan in this era!

"Alright," Liu Kun nodded reluctantly, "I'll give you this chance for the sake of our brotherhood. But let me make this clear: if the money isn't in place in two days, don't blame me for being ruthless and leaving without a second thought."

"Don't worry! Brother Kun, don't worry!"

Blackie rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Although I, Blackie, am a rough man, I keep my word. I will definitely come to see you with 500,000 yuan in two days!"

Meanwhile, Chen Weihua and the others in the "Zhaoyebai" car outside the guesthouse watched as the group walked out of the guesthouse and stood at the door. One of them even pointed at them. Chen Weihua immediately started the car and slowly drove away.

At the entrance of the guesthouse, Blackie followed his underling's hand and looked at the car with its lights off. He looked up at Liu Kun's window on the second floor, where the light was on. Just then, Liu Kun also stuck his head out and looked down. Blackie smiled at Liu Kun.

Hei Pi thought to himself, "Liu Kun, you've got some nerve, bringing over 200,000 yuan with you. So you have people outside to help you keep an eye on things. Look at that car that drove away, it's obviously not cheap." Hei Pi became even more convinced that Liu Kun had really gotten involved with the tycoon.

In the room on the second floor, Pepper's hands were still trembling. He watched Liu Kun stick his head out to see if Blackie and his gang had left, and said to Liu Kuang in a trembling voice, "Brother Kun, next time, please don't play these tricks of getting something for nothing. My heart almost jumped out of my chest just now."

"Look at you," Liu Kun waved to the black-skinned guy downstairs, then pulled his head back and closed the window. "After I made this move, you didn't see how I completely outmaneuvered that black-skinned guy. The day after tomorrow, once he has the 500,000 yuan ready, we'll take him back to Jiping to find Wang Wenxi."

"Once you get on Mr. Chen's good side, you'll have a chance to live a life of luxury," Liu Kun said casually, but after he sat down, his legs started twitching, clearly showing that he had been extremely nervous during his confrontation with Hei Pi.

Liu Kun flicked his cigarette ash triumphantly. "Once Hei Pi brings the money, we'll take this 500,000 yuan, plus the 200,000 we already have. Then, in Jiping, we'll be the ones calling the shots. We won't have to spend any more money, and we'll still get things done. It's a win-win situation! We'll make our business bigger and stronger!"

"Yes, yes, Brother Kun is brilliant!"
