Jin Guoqiang and his staff were still discussing things, and they didn't look tired at all. Li Tianming looked at them from afar, sucking oxygen in big mouthfuls, sighing in his heart that it's so good to be young.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is cold at night. Although Li Tianming was wearing a thick down jacket and warm clothing, his body still couldn't stand it. After sitting outside for a long time, he felt the chill penetrate deep into his bones and waved his hand to signal Scar Jin to help him get up.

Scar Jin held an oxygen bottle in one hand and held Uncle Li's arm in the other, and carefully sent him into the tent to lie down.

Looking at Uncle Li lying in his sleeping bag, Scar Jin couldn't help feeling disgusted.

People say that old age and death are a thief. This guy is in his sixties and should have died for so many years.

When the Jinyin brothers started to do business with Uncle Li for a few steamed buns. They started by walking around the streets to exchange food. They escaped the famine, endured the Great Revolution, fought with Li Ergou, and fought with the Song brothers in Luoyang... In the blink of an eye, thirty or forty years have passed, and most of the black hair of Scar Jin has turned white, from a rebellious boy to an old man over fifty years old.

After so many years of birth and death, Scar Gold is still just a lackey beside Uncle Li who is ready to whine.

Scar Jin was very dissatisfied.

The two of his brothers have been loyal to Li Tianming for many years. From Mangshan to Luoyang, they started from scratch and fought against the world with both punches. Now they have power across the four provinces of Jin, Ji, Shandong and Henan. They handle thousands of antiques every year, but no matter how big the business is, they have never had money in their hands - sometimes they have to borrow money from their second brother when they go out to find women.

The reason why it is so shabby is that Scar King usually spends money and does not lack anything in food, drink, gambling and smoking.

On the other hand, Uncle Li is so stingy. People say that geese pull out hairs and beasts keep skins. Uncle Li is even more cruel than this. For example, they sell a piece of raw goods, which is worth at least 100,000 yuan on the market. Scar gold can be distributed at most a few hundred yuan.

Even so, Uncle Li always cried in front of them, saying that he would spend money in places where they could not see them, and that he should be filial to the white and gangsters. It is even more difficult to raise so many subordinates. He often complained that the expenses were too high, so that everyone should pay him money to be as good as he did.

Scar Jin has always wondered where Uncle Li has made so much money?

He couldn't understand it. A man doesn't smoke, drink, or pick up girls. He just plans to make money all day long. He has the meaning of a chicken chop when he is alive?! Can he take it to the grave if he saves so much money? But Uncle Li has lived like this for decades and is still very interesting.

Scar Jin thought, seeing that he was already old, in a few years, he would not be hard, and all the things that should not be soft. If he didn't hurry up and enjoy it, he would be useless - but when would he endure so hard under Li Tianming?

Li Tianming has always controlled his business to a tight control, from millions to thousands of goods, and he has to personally inquire about the money, and as for the funds, he can only enter and exit from him.

It is even more impossible to take advantage of him. Although he rarely comes out to do business in person, everyone around him seems to be his eyeliner and nothing can escape his eyes. So over the years, although everyone has complained about Uncle Li's stinginess, they dare not speak out.

Once, while drinking, a brother got drunk and joked that Uncle Li would not get married or have children because he was afraid that his wife and son would share his property. Uncle Li found out the next day.

Uncle Li asked this person to kneel in front of everyone, slap himself in the face, and scolded himself for being mean. He kept sucking for a meal and letting himself faint.

No one knew who reported the secret, but from that day on, everyone began to guard against each other and "respected" Uncle Li's authority more, and all the complaints turned into fear.

In contrast, Scar Gold is more affinity among his brothers. After all, he is the oldest and is the one who conquers the world with Uncle Li. Although he is irritable and often slaps people, he drinks wine, eats meat, and shops with kilns. When he is "working", he is also on the front line with his brothers.

Sometimes Scar Jin feels that based on his feelings with his brothers, he is more suitable for being a boss than Uncle Li.

He also thought about taking the position of Uncle Li as the boss and replacing it. He thought about it more than once, but he didn't have the courage to do this - not to mention the old man's scheming, the power behind him was even more mysterious. Until now, Scar Gold has been with Uncle Li for decades, and the mysterious backer behind them is still a dragon but not a tail. I only know that Uncle Li is good at hand and eyes, so he is probably the one behind him who is doing it.

Scar Jin felt that it would be better not to do it himself, but to be the one who was killed by his enemies, so that it would be natural for him to take over as the boss.

Apart from Uncle Li, only Scar Gold has the highest status in the gang and the oldest qualification - although he still has a silver, he doesn't think his brother will compete with him.

But Li Tianming was cautious all his life and never gave him a chance to do so.

For many years, Uncle Li always liked to hide behind the scenes to command, and was behind the scenes, and rarely "passed through life and death" with his brothers.

In Scar Gold's impression, such opportunities only appeared twice in total.

It was once in the Yewang Temple in northern Shaanxi, and even Scar Gold almost died.

Although the fight at Yewang Temple was tragic, it happened too suddenly and was far less thrilling than the first time.

That time was twenty years ago.

At that time, Uncle Li and his friends had just "paced" Luoyang, made Li Ergou, drove away Song Biao and Song Boss, and conquered Prince Ma...

For a moment, the Li family gang became famous in Luoyang, and all walks of life came to send gifts to express their sincerity, worshipped the mountain, and sat at home, and the business came to the door automatically. Scar Jin felt that he would no longer have to secretly dig antiques with his brothers and go from street to street to exchange for food.

Unfortunately, not long after a good life, one day, Uncle Li suddenly called gold, silver, Dawu, Niu Da and other confidants to come to him, asking everyone to pack up and prepare to "go on a long journey".

The location of Scar Jin on this business trip is very familiar with, and it was the place where he went to exchange food during the Great Famine.

Scar Jin remembered it very clearly. That time, they collected a batch of raw pit goods in Lijia Village. Uncle Li recognized that it was a batch of newly unearthed hidden weapons. He guessed that the person who exchanged this batch of goods was a tomb robber with him, and maybe he was a master.

Because they had a lot of harvest in exchange for grain in this area, they delayed for a while, and the "people" also exchanged raw pit goods for grain several times.

They should have made a lot of money on that trip, but something happened soon after. Except for Uncle Li, everyone was arrested. Later, Uncle Li "handled" the local relevant departments and protected everyone. At that time, everyone admired Uncle Li's "abilities".

Shortly after that, they encountered an unprecedented big movement, and their prosperous career came to an abrupt end. Since then, Scar King has forgotten this experience until Uncle Li mentioned it again.

He didn't understand what the purpose of this trip was, but he felt unusual instinctively because Uncle Li led the team for the first time and brought the gold and silver brothers with him, as well as Dawu, Niu Er, and the ruthless characters from the previous generations.

Unlike the high spirits when he just took down the Song brothers, Uncle Li has been worried recently.

Scar Jin didn't understand. Luoyang's great country has been built. Uncle Li didn't stay at home to do business, so why did he insist on coming to this remote and broken place? Do you have to exchange food for treasures? But it's not like it. He didn't bring any shoulder poles or guys. Besides, it's not a big famine now, and there is no way to sell food.

Everyone was bored in the gourd, wanting to ask but not daring. Uncle Li was frowning all the way, as if everyone owed him 5 million.

The road was bumpy, Scar Gold took everyone to Lijia Village where he exchanged goods back then. Unlike the earth-shaking changes outside in recent years, the small mountain village seemed to be forgotten by history. It has almost remained the same for more than ten years, and has not changed at all.

In order to avoid people's eyes, they dressed up as farmers and stood far away outside the village. Scar Gold pointed out the household who exchanged raw pit goods for food to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li asked Yinzi to go to the village to find out the news and find out the details.

After a while, Yinzi came back and reported that the family was an outsider who moved in more than ten years ago. The man in charge was named Liu Guohua, and a younger brother was a fool who had been living with them. Liu Guohua's wife was named Ye Lan, and she also had a teenage son in the family, with his mother's surname, Ye Chong.

Uncle Li nodded, and paced back and forth while pinching the jade ring on his hand.

Scar Jin is very familiar with Uncle Li's habit. Usually when Uncle Li looks like this, it means that he is thinking about things and calculating, which means that someone is going to be unlucky.

The others stared at each other and wandered around for a long time. Uncle Li suddenly stopped and squinted his eyes and said to him:

"Jinzi, take the two of you to his house and find him to make a fuss!"

Jinzi was stunned. He was in Luoyang and did not stay there. He ran all the way to this Poshan Village to make a fortune?

Seeing Jinzi's confused look, Uncle Li had to say more carefully: "Test him first. If you exchanged goods with him back then, he should know you. It's best to be able to pull him out. If he doesn't take the bait, don't force him, just let them know your purpose."

Although the monk Zhang Er was still confused, Scar Jin knew that he could not ask too much, just do it according to Uncle Li's wishes.

He knew that Uncle Li made a reason for this arrangement, just like dealing with Li Ergou, Song Biao and others before, Uncle Li would not tell you the intention of every step, and you will find the exquisiteness of his arrangement in this later.

Strategically plan, carefully calculate, and take advantage of it. This is exactly what Uncle Li is so powerful.
