924 [King and hegemony] under
The mute apprentice who was going to pick snakes never expected that Kang Yongren would be so brave that he would dare to pick snakes himself - and he was the thickest and most ferocious king snake, which was a little shocked for a moment.
You know, even if he worked here for a long time, he was still a little scared when facing so many snakes, and if he was not careful, he would be bitten.
Not to mention other guests, few people dare to come here to pick snakes in person. Most of them will show them after slaughtering them, and then make them into snake soup after being satisfied.
At this moment, Kang Yongren had a snake wrapped around his arm, but his eyes looked at his younger brother Kang Yonglian and the invited guest Le Jun, and asked them: "How is this?"
Kang Yonglian was almost scared. This is a snake, it can bite people!
Le Jun coughed calmly and said, "It's very good."
"Since that's the case, this one is it-it looks pretty fat!" Kang Yongren joked and said to the shocked mute apprentice, "Borrow a knife and use it."
Without waiting for the mute apprentice to answer, he had already snatched the sharp knife in his hand and walked to the front of a big willow tree. He raised his knife and nailed the snake's head into the willow tree.
The king snake's head was nailed, and its whole body twitched in pain, and its thick and long body kept twisting.
Kang Yongren was unmoved and then picked up a sharp skinning knife, which quickly peeled off the entire snake skin.
But seeing the skinless king snake red and tender flesh L exposed outside, it twisted even harder because of the pain.
Seeing this scene, Kang Yonglian covered his mouth and wanted to vomit.
Le Jun's face, who had no change in his face, also changed his face suddenly and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.
Kang Yongren seemed to enjoy this cruel process very much.
The exciting piano rhythm rang in his mind.
Kang Yongren plays the beat with the rhythm of the piano - digs the snake gallbladder, takes the snake blood, and completes it in one go.
This move made the mute apprentice even more stunned.
Kang Yonglian is really about to vomit.
Le Jun felt a chill on his back.
Suddenly, Kang Yongren had snake blood stained on his hand, and his thumb and index finger pinched the snake gall that seemed to be still squirming. He slowly walked to Le Jun and said to him with a smile: "This fresh snake gall is very nourishing - you are a guest, please first!"
While speaking, he put the snake gall next to Le Jun's mouth.
What's the meaning?
Swallowing snake gall?
"Mr. Kang, you are so polite." Le Jun hurriedly refused. "It is better for Mr. Kang to enjoy such a good thing!"
Kang Yongren smiled slightly, "Look at his current appearance, can he still enjoy it?"
Le Jun turned his face and saw Kang Yonglian bent down and retching.
Le Jun: "…"
Kang Yongren: "Why, don't you give face?"
"Haha, how could that happen?" Le Jun smiled and opened his mouth.
"That's right! It's very replenishing, trust me!" Kang Yongren threw the snake gall into Le Jun's mouth.
Le Jun felt a bitter smell hit his nose, and his teeth and tongue didn't even dare to touch the snake gall, and he swallowed it into his stomach in one mouthful.
"Well, it's great!" Kang Yongren patted Le Jun's shoulder with his blood-stained hand and smiled: "I'll soon know the benefits of this snake gall!"
While speaking, he turned around and washed his hands, cleaned up—and ordered the mute apprentice to take the snake to Snake King Tao to make snake soup.
On this side, Le Jun could no longer help but bend down and retching like Kang Yonglian.
...
In the soup bowl with a fist size, there was a steaming snake soup.
The snake soup is fragrant and the smell is mixed with some Chinese medicine.
Although I knew that this bowl of snake soup was delicious, after watching the scene just now, neither Le Jun nor Kang Yonglian could eat it.
Kang Yongren seemed to like eating these things very much - he was sweating heavily and was filled with joy.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Kang Yongren looked up but saw Le Jun and the fine man Kang Yonglian before he moved his chopsticks, so he said, "Why don't you eat - while it's hot, there will be a fishy smell when it's cold!"
Le Jun and Kang Yonglian, look at me, I look at you.
Suddenly, Le Jun seemed to remember something, and hurriedly reached out to pick up the briefcase he brought, took out a stack of information from it, handed it to Kang Yongren and said, "Mr. Kang, these are all project agreements signed by your Kang Construction and George - a lot of money, I'll bring them all!"
Kang Yongren nodded, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, took the information and looked through it carefully.
It turns out that as the largest wealthy family in Hong Kong, the Kang family has the most business of real estate besides some invisible industries, and Kang family Construction is the Kang family's largest private industry.
Today, labor costs in Hong Kong are rising, and the Hong Kong trade unions are constantly clamoring to "increase workers' wages and benefits", "improve workers' welfare benefits", etc., which has led to the continuous increase in labor employment costs - especially in terms of construction.
Kang's construction requires a lot of labor, but the ever-increasing wage costs of workers also make Kang's a little overwhelmed.
At this time, Kang Yongren contacted Warden George of Stanley Prison in private. Through several fine wine and food treats, and several visits to the Rich Nightclub, he finally opened up his relationship and signed a "engineering contract" with George in private.
Through this contract, Contel can hire prisoners in prisons to work for them at less than two-thirds of the market salary.
Through this contract, Kang Yongren, with the help of super cheap labor such as prisons, Kang's Construction successfully completed the development of real estate projects such as "Kang's New Century", "Kang's Carnival", and "Kang's Forest Peninsula".
To this end, Kang's Construction saved 700 million or 800 million in salary expenses.
Of course, during this period, the warden, George, also gained a lot of benefits through Kang Yongren - to be precise, the money he got bought at least two villas and three yachts in London, England.
These dark transactions are the "weakness" of Kang's construction and always threaten Kang Yongren and the companies he controls.
Now Hong Kong has entered 1996 and will return to the motherland one year.
The ghost George is greedy and wants to use these materials to threaten Kang Yongren with the custody fee before leaving, and ask him to pay a 50 million yuan hush fee.
Who is Kang Yongren? He has never liked to compromise with those who threaten him, and he doesn't like to "spend money to eliminate disasters", so he bribed George's brother-in-law, his brother-in-law Le Jun, and directly sent the ghost George to jail.
You are unkind and I am unrighteous!
Don’t think that my name is Kang Yongren, and I will be kind to you.
...
After reading the "black materials" in his hand, Kang Yongren took out a lighter from his arms to ignite the materials. After all the materials were boiled, he waved them and threw them into the trash can - the flames.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kang! Although he sent that ghost George to prison, this time he was escaped by the Song surnamed." Le Jun glanced at Kang Yongren and said apologetically.
"It's okay!" Kang Yongren said with a smile, "I didn't want his life either, I just wanted to scare him - after all, the murder of the Justice of Peace during inspection will cause a great response from the society."
"I'm relieved if you say that." Le Jun lamented Kang Yongren's move "kills two birds with one stone".
It not only eliminates the opponents that threaten you, but also intimidates the enemies that oppose you.
Kang Yongren picked up a wet towel and wiped his hands and said, "As for what you are going to do now, it is actually very simple - to reveal George's arrest, I want everyone in Hong Kong to know what scandal happened in this prison."
Le Jun: "That's what..."
"As a result, the reputation of the prison becomes more and more stinky, the surrounding land prices will be affected - and we will buy it in a big way!" Kang Yongren's eyes shot a hint of coldness, "I want to take out 3 billion to buy the land worth 5 billion near Stanley!"
When Kang Yonglian heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved: "Big Boss, isn't this too aggressive? Three billion is not a small amount!"
Kang Yongren showed his white-song teeth and smiled and said, "Are you adventurous? I have discussed with those British people in private - Stanley Prison is about to be relocated to Lantau Island. There is originally a prison on Lantau Island, so it doesn't matter if there is one more - but it's different here. Without this prison, all the land here will double the value!"
"At that time, our Kang family construction will clear all the Hong Kong Island. The entire island belongs to our Kang family. We can build whatever we want and develop as we want. At that time, the land value will not be 3 billion, but 30 billion, 300 billion!" Kang Yongren became more and more excited as he spoke, and flames spewed out of his eyes.
Kang Yonglian was also excited when he heard this, and only felt that this elder brother Kang Yongren was too sharp - buying land at a low price and selling buildings at a high price, the Kang family will occupy Hong Kong Island in the future and become a veritable "island owner". That would be so majestic and glorious.
But Le Jun was sweating profusely.
He didn't expect Kang Yongren to be so ambitious that he actually wanted to move Stanley Prison and buy the entire Hong Kong Island!
If George is in prison according to Kang Yongren's plan, Stanley Prison is notorious, and the Kang family takes the opportunity to acquire land near the prison at a very low price; then the British Hong Kong government ordered the prison to be relocated, and then the Kang family will come forward to rebuild Hong Kong Island again, wouldn't it really be the king?
Thinking of this, Le Jun was sweating profusely.
Looking at Le Jun's shocked look, Kang Yongren enjoyed his reaction - after all, this is his great idea, and anyone will be surprised when he hears it.
"Okay, Mr. Le Jun, since I've said so much to you, it's like treating you as my own. Do you understand what I mean?"
Le Jun was still surprised.
Kang Yonglian touched him, "My brother is asking you!"
Le Jun hurriedly said, "I understand! Of course I understand!" He nodded quickly.
