Chaos

Chapter 25

Li Kang's house is close to the suburbs. There is a hill outside the backyard. There is a woodland on the hill. When the weather turns cold, it will look even cooler here.There are two main rooms in the house, one facing the sun is more delicately decorated for Li Kang and Lu Ning, and the other is in the shade with a large table and some empty bookshelves, used as a living room and study room, if you need to discuss something Just use it as a conference room.

Now there are only three people in the room, discussing things under the dim light.

There is still no news from the customs. Li Kang holds the two arms lines of the Li family and his own, as well as some smoke and soil.In order to save the money invested in opening the pier, Li Kang planned to improve efficiency and start a company, so he sent Ding Shan and Liang Shu to arrange these matters.

Liang Shu put out a piece of paper and said, "This is the capital and profit estimate I calculated for you to start a company. Take a look."

Ding Shan said: "I also found the store you asked me to find. It can be used directly with a little decoration. The place is very good and the price is good."

Li Kang nodded, took the paper and looked at it, and asked with some embarrassment: "Do you want so much money?"

"The business of black goods is different from that of white goods. The transportation cost alone is [-]% higher than that of white goods, not counting the dredging of checkpoints. The cost of inside and outside is four times higher than that of other companies. You can handle it with the customs A lot of money has already been spent, and this is not included, and the funds that can be used now are barely enough to choose between arms and opium."

Ding Shan said: "I don't think it's okay to smoke opium. My father smoked opium to death. It's harmful!"

Liang Shu said: "I don't agree with doing opium. The arms business is mostly said to be for war, and more money is spent on escorting, but transporting opium needs to be on guard against bandits and bandits at all times. It is very likely that someone will escort you." Avoidance, labor costs, and risks are several times higher. There is not much difference in the money the two can earn. In terms of risks, we are just starting out, so we should be more conservative in arms."

Li Kang looked at the money on the paper, put it down thoughtfully, thought for a while, and said, "Ding Shan, I asked you to help Mr. Liang calculate the running account of all the black goods at the wharf. Are you done?"

"Oh, it's all over." Ding Shan got up quickly, and went to the cabinet to get a thick stack of paper, "Mr. Liang has already calculated the whole day."

Li Kang turned a few pages and looked at it, then put it down again, as if he was thinking about something.

"Mr. Kang, what did you think of?" Liang Shu asked.

"The money is not enough, we can cooperate with others, or let them buy shares."

Liang Shu thought for a while and said, "This is a way. But it's easy to talk about buying shares, but you have to think carefully about the cooperation. How to arrange the proportion of accounts is not a joke."

"It's okay, I'll think of a way, hurry up and urge the shop." Li Kang seemed much more relaxed, but he didn't seem to listen to Liang Shu's words.

Early the next morning, while Feng Zhenyang was still having breakfast, Mrs. Feng came to the dining room, looking a little more haggard than usual, as if she hadn't slept well.

Feng Zhenyang put down his cup and asked, "Mother? Why did you get up so early today? Didn't sleep well?"

Old lady Feng waved her hand, signaling that the girl does not need to prepare meals for herself.

"I had a dream. I dreamed that Yanqing was arguing with someone outside."

Feng Zhenyang smiled and said, "You just miss her. It's just that Yanqing hasn't come back for a long time. It must be because of yesterday's letter."

"She has been out for several months. Even if she wants to relax, she should have come back long ago. Every letter says it will take a few days. Is she in any trouble?"

"No, don't worry, she is not a child anymore, she will solve any trouble by herself."

When Mrs. Feng heard it, she suddenly became serious, and asked, "I will solve it myself? Zhenyang, is she really in any trouble? Did she just tell you and not write to me?"

Feng Zhenyang slowed down his chewing mouth and said, "Mother, don't think too much, it's nothing."

Mrs. Feng did not delve into it, and continued: "I have been dreaming since you came back from Anhui. I always dreamed that the sky was gloomy, and several big black birds were flying in the sky. That day I went to Chenghuang Temple to ask for a lottery, and I asked for a lottery. When signing, the master said to be careful, don’t offend villains, otherwise you will lose money and have bad luck, you have to remember! It’s nothing if you lose money, it’s a common thing to lose money to eliminate disasters, as long as there are no other disasters... ..."

"It's nothing serious," Feng Zhenyang interrupted the old lady's thoughts, "You just haven't had a good rest, I'll let the doctor come and see you later, take some tranquilizing medicine, and you'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

The old lady stood up and said, "I don't drink medicine! Forget it, I will go to the Temple of the City God today, ask for a lottery, and ask the master to interpret dreams..."

Feng Zhenyang knew that the old lady was getting older, and she was no more sober than when she was young. Sometimes she would trust the messy barefoot doctor of Master Yeluzi, and she was very concerned about things with big needles, but fortunately, she didn't take medicine indiscriminately, so Feng Zhenyang didn't stop her.

"If you say this is not a good dream, you should hurry up and ask someone to bring Yanqing back. I have to be able to look at her to be at ease!"

"Okay." Feng Zhenyang replied with a smile.

When I arrived at Feng's silk weaving company, a telegram just arrived.

Feng Zhenyang opened it and read it. After hesitating for a while, he asked the secretary to bring over the company's financial statements, read them carefully several times, picked up a pen and started writing a letter, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Mr. Feng, someone is here."

"come in."

Li Kang walked in and said, "Mr. Yang!"

"Yo, Li Kang?" Feng Zhenyang raised his head. Li Kang's appearance inexplicably made him feel very strange, but he couldn't tell what was different. "A rare customer, sit down. I don't know what Boss Li wants from me?"

Li Kang smiled, sat opposite Feng Zhenyang, and said, "Mr. Feng, you are welcome. I am here today to discuss cooperation with you."

"Cooperation," Feng Zhenyang nodded with a smile, as if he heard a child gesturing to make a lot of money, "Cooperation for what?"

Li Kang ignored Feng Zhenyang's contemptuous expression, and continued: "I don't want to take up much of your time, so I'll make a long story short. That's right, the Li family and the Feng family have been doing black business for so many years on their own. Paying out money, in fact, it’s a lot of waste. I think it’s better for us to cooperate, start a company, and unify the operation. With your sales and our Li family’s contacts, the cost can be saved by at least half, and the efficiency will be doubled. A win-win result. What do you think?"

Feng Zhenyang listened, smiled, did not answer, and asked instead: "Did your second uncle ask you to come?"

"It has nothing to do with him, it's my idea." Li Kang said coldly.

Feng Zhenyang was still smiling: "Then you are not the eldest gentleman of the Li family, how can you cooperate with me on behalf of the Li family?"

Li Kang smiled and said: "Mr. Big is just a title, at most it can only mean that there is a topaz finger. Whether it can represent it should be to see who can control the real power. Now all the black goods of the Li family are under my control. The connections of the Li family , most of them are familiar with me, I can't represent the Li family, who else can?"

It was only then that Feng Zhenyang realized that Li Kang was a little more stern than before, speaking with hidden swords and guns, but he was somewhat similar to Li Lu.

"The connections you're talking about are those bandits and hooligans on the street?" Feng Zhenyang said with a smile.

Feng Zhenyang smiled as usual, but it was very harsh to Li Kang's ears. He slightly pulled one corner of his mouth and said contemptuously: "Don't look down on bandits and hooligans. They don't do much business, but they are rich and courageous. You are robbed." You should know how much smoke and dust you have passed through."

Feng Zhenyang saw that Li Kang was getting a little aggressive, so he turned a corner and said, "It's fine, we cooperate. But I have a few conditions for cooperating with you."

"You say."

Feng Zhenyang crossed his fingers together and said, "I will give you the money, I want 50.00% of the shares."

"No problem." Li Kang blurted out, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"What's the rush?" Feng Zhenyang smiled expectantly, "This is the first, and the second. All the long and short movers of the Li family on the pier are all at my disposal; third, every business of the company , must be signed and approved by me before it can officially take effect."

After Feng Zhenyang finished speaking, he kept looking at Li Kang, trying to find out his depth.

After a while, Li Kang sneered: "It turns out that Mr. Feng didn't want to do business with me at all."

Feng Zhenyang straightened up and said, "Li Kang, you look like your father, but you are still far behind him. Doing business is not just about lip service. Go back and come back after you have learned it!"

Li Kang was suffocating, but he still smiled, patted the armrest, stood up, and said, "Since Mr. Feng doesn't want to cooperate with me, then I can't force it either. I wish you all the best in the future!"

"Thank you." Feng Zhenyang still nodded with a smile.

"Excuse me!"

Although Feng Zhenyang did not agree to Li Kang's invitation, he was still a little more vigilant towards him. Looking at it now, Li Kang seems to have become the second Li Lu, and it is not surprising to do something out of the ordinary up.Although he was still a little reckless, Li Kang's mind was on doing business, and this alone was even more difficult to deal with than the two Li Lu.Feng Zhenyang feels somewhat pessimistically that Li Kang is another ruthless character not inferior to Li Shu.

Li Kang returned to his house with a gloomy face. Du Hu and Ding Shan were discussing the decoration of the store. Seeing Li Kang coming back with a hellish face, he put down the drawings and walked carefully to his room, wanting to ask why.

"Mr. Kang, what happened?"

Li Kang gritted his teeth, his veins twitched.

Ding Shan and Du Hu looked at each other and asked, "Where have you been?"

"The Feng family."

"Don't agree?"

Li Kang's eye bags were tight, his fists were clenched with anger, and he said under pressure, "That old fox Feng Zhenyang insists on me doing odd jobs for him."

When Du Hu heard this, his eyes widened: "Feng Zhenyang? His grandma, how dare you fucking ride on Li's head and shit?! See if I won't remove his legs for him! Mr. Kang, I listen to you, you In a word, I'll take someone with me right away..."

Ding Shan frowned and patted Du Hu, and said, "Don't worry! Listen to the master!"

Li Kanghuo was less restrained, his fists loosened a bit, but his fingertips were still a little white, and he said: "He wants all the docks to obey his orders, and every business order of the company must be personally reviewed by him, and the signature can only take effect... "

Ding Shan thought for a while and said, "Then, the Feng family won't work, why don't you ask Boss Li?"

Li Kang sneered, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Is it going to work? I'm going to order the goods from the Feng family."

"But the Feng family may..."

Ding Shan could think that Li Kang might have been humiliated by Feng Zhenyang with "laughing".

"You don't appreciate good words, so don't blame me for playing dirty!" Li Kang's voice, like a piece of iron waiting to be sharpened into a sharp knife, hit the ground coldly, and there seemed to be a bottle of strong acid in his eyes, which could splash Feng Zhenyang. Burn him to ashes.

Ding Shan and Du Hu had never seen Li Kang like this before, even if they wanted to persuade him a few more times, they dared not say a word.

Li Kang put away his anger and asked, "Have those documents in the company been drawn up?"

"Lawyer Gao has been working on it these days."

Li Kang stared straight at him like a wolf, and said: "Please come here, I have something to ask him."

"Now?"

"Now."

"Hey." Ding Shan got up quickly, and Du Hu also stood up, but was stopped by Li Kang.

"You stay, there are more important things for you to do."
