I smoked half a cigarette when the boat arrived at the island.
Cao Kun, who is in his forties, has a slicked-back hair and looks a bit like a gambling god, standing on the shore with his hands behind his back.
"Mr. Huang, please come in!"
With a smile on his face, he welcomed the people from eight small boats to the island, and then exchanged greetings along the way until they came to the pavilion.
Inside the pavilion, there is a square stone table and two wooden chairs.
Cao Kun's two bodyguards stood silently behind the chair, without saying a word.
Huang Minghong's people were also very professional. They stood in a row behind the chairs on the other side with their hands behind their backs.
"Mr. Huang, sit down!"
Cao Kun sat down with a smile and gestured for invitation.
Huang Minghong calmly sat down opposite, but the first words he said were:
"Someone, add a seat."
The expression on Cao Kun's face suddenly froze.
He looked around and asked doubtfully, "Mr. Huang, is there anyone else here who is qualified to sit with you and me?"
"Yes, of course."
Huang Minghong waved at Chen Yang, motioning him to come forward.
"A celestial being recently arrived in Zhonghai. Miss Ling from Longmen, Mr. Cao should know about this, right?"
"This is Miss Ling's favorite, Mr. Chen Yang!"
"Come, Mr. Chen, please take a seat!"
Huang Minghong made a gesture, pointing to the middle position.
To be honest, the pressure on the scene was quite great.
Dozens of social elites, senior lawyers, and professional thugs all stood there obediently.
But Chen Yang was qualified to take a seat.
This seems to be a kind of enjoyment, but in fact, only Chen Yang himself knows the pressure inside.
Not to mention the distant past, there was a hint of disdain in the eyes of the Huang family's bodyguards at the scene.
Chen Yang ignored them, just walked to his seat and extended his hand to Cao Kun.
"Hello, Mr. Cao."
The hand is suspended in mid-air.
However, Cao Kun had no intention of shaking hands with him. He just turned and looked at Huang Minghong.
"Mr. Huang, it seems like you came prepared today?"
"Of course." Huang Minghong's face was calm and he patted Chen Yang's shoulder without any hesitation. "Mr. Chen, don't be restrained. Cao Kun and I have been friends for decades. Just sit down!"
Chen Yang sat down. Cao Kun's expression changed several times. Finally, he sneered inexplicably, stood up, picked up the wine glass, and poured wine for Huang Minghong and Chen Yang in turn.
While pouring the wine, he also started talking.
"Mr. Huang, the Hong family is quite influential in Zhonghai. In the past, when the Hong family was at its peak, they even had the potential to dominate the market. Now that the Hong family has fallen, leaving behind a large inheritance, I wonder what you think?"
Huang Minghong took the wine glass calmly and said casually: "You and I are both smart people. We both know that the Hong family's biggest business in Zhonghai is the 302 Expressway."
"This is one of the few privately contracted highways in the country, and it was built a long time ago with a low-interest loan. The investment has already been paid back. Now, the dozen or so toll booths along the road are like golden cakes that just sit there and collect money. Just hire two people to man them, and they can make hundreds of millions a year. It's truly a guaranteed income."
Cao Kun listened and nodded repeatedly.
"It seems that you, Mr. Huang, are a sensible person. To be honest, what I want to talk to you about today is also this highway."
"Currently, the Hong family's bridge and road operations, which are responsible for operating Highway 302, are ownerless. The city has announced that ordinary business owners are not qualified to interfere. Only our two families have the right to dispose of the business... I just don't know what percentage of the shares Mr. Huang is willing to take."
Chen Yang listened quietly on the side and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
He originally thought that the businesses of these big families were factories, coal mines, or hotels.
And boy, the highway!
How could they get involved in such a highly monopolistic industry?
No wonder they are called giants!
How can the few dollars that ordinary bosses earn by working hard be compared with these people?
Just think about it, if you can own a share in this kind of industry, even if it is only one percent, it will be enough for a small family to live worry-free for at least ten years.
Now Cao Kun asked Huang Minghong to name a price. Chen Yang thought that what would follow would definitely be a fierce bargaining match between the two sides.
Unexpectedly, Huang Minghong brushed his hands on his knees, chuckled and said:
"I don't want any of it."
Cao Kun originally raised his glass to toast, but when he heard these words, his hand froze in mid-air.
It took more than ten seconds before he managed a dry smile.
"Mr. Huang, are you kidding me?"
"You don't want that road at all?"
Huang Minghong's face was calm as he slowly raised his glass with both hands:
"It's not that Huang doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare."
He suddenly toasted Chen Yang respectfully and said in a deep voice:
"Mr. Chen has already said that this road will be fully paid for by him."
Chen Yang, who was originally watching the show, suddenly fixed his eyes.
What the hell?
Why did it suddenly involve me?
Wasn't he here to help Huang Minghong today? When did he ever say he wanted to take over the Hong family's business?!
"Mr. Huang, are you…"
Chen Yang was extremely confused and was about to ask a question when Huang Minghong suddenly stepped hard on him under the table.
Huang Minghong put his strength into the movement, but with a smile on his face:
"Mr. Chen, you told Huang last night that the Hong family was destroyed by Miss Ling because they offended you, so the Hong family's inheritance should belong to you."
"No, when did I say..."
Chen Yang was very anxious. It wasn't that he couldn't have this road right now.
The key point is that he ate it in one gulp, which was a crime of possessing a treasure. What would Cao Kun think?
