Korean TV series: King of Peninsula 1997

Chapter 198: Can't Throw Away Iron and Blood
The equity structure is also very simple. Apart from Ding Qing and Li Zicheng, the rest are some people who do the dirty work under Ding Qing. Part of the equity is distributed to some people in the customs, police department, tax department and even the navy in Incheon.

Although the level is not too high, it is enough to protect the company safely.

"This is the goose that lays their golden eggs," Li You nodded in admiration, "but I suggest that before the Golden Gate Group expands further, the scale of this trading company should not be expanded."

"I understand," Ding Qing also understood the situation. Once the trading company expanded too quickly, it would most likely be out of his control.

Li Zicheng poured wine for both of them, "Cheers then?"

This action made Li You and Ding Qing look at him for two seconds. Li Zicheng frowned and drank the wine expressionlessly.

"As expected." Ding Qing winked and said, "Now that you don't have any worries, you should work on your face and stop looking so expressionless."

The cups clinked lightly, making a crisp sound. Li You finished his drink and looked at Ding Qing, "What are your plans next?"

Ding Qing stared at the wine glass in a daze. "I didn't have any big goals to begin with. I am satisfied with my current position."

He smiled carefreely, "We can't go and rob the Golden Gate with you. It's not a big deal if we can't rob it. What's important is that you have helped us so much and we stand behind you and support you."

"Maybe I'll find a woman to marry in a few days?" Ding Qing smiled. "After all, I don't have any offspring yet. I'm not the young you. I'm almost 40 now."

Li Zicheng exposed his lie, "He had already chosen the good guy, but he was just too embarrassed to say it."

"Go away," Ding Qing smiled and waved his hand, "How dare you say that to me?"

As he spoke, Ding Qing felt a little melancholy. He had thought that after the merger into Kinmen Group, the new Kinmen Group would not be integrated so quickly.

In his expectation, the Kinmen Group would have to be in disarray for at least half a year or even longer before it could begin to slowly integrate itself, and then face a new round of war for power.

But Ding Qing did not expect that since Li You merged into Kinmen, its power has been making great strides forward almost every month.

The Kinmen Group, which is full of factions, seems to have determined its future successor. Li Zhongjiu, who wanted to compete with Li You, is now in prison.

It only took Ding Qing about half a year to figure out all this.

He even felt that the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Kinmen Group had only been held not long ago.

Shi Dongchu seemed to have no factional barriers in his eyes, and spared no effort to help Li You and his Kinmen Real Estate.

By now, Li You controls Kinmen Real Estate and Kinmen Entertainment, and the gray forces of the Kinmen Group are also in his hands.

Ding Qing himself also used Kinmen Trade to support him, and these most important industries of the Kinmen Group were truly tied together.

"I wonder if Shi Dongchu will regret helping you with all his efforts before," Ding Qing smiled, "You are now a big shot. If I were to ask you, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call you the regent."

"He won't regret it," Li You shook his head, "Our goals are the same."

Ding Qing nudged Li Zicheng with his elbow and said, "Look at him now. Does he look like the big shot we imagined?"

Li Zicheng really looked at Li You for a while, then nodded to Ding Qing, "He is it."

Li You smiled but said nothing, just raised his glass again. Ding Qing waved his hands repeatedly, "If you don't drink, I'll let you go today."

He didn't force Ding Qing to drink, but just drank it by himself. With his current physical condition, the wine was just like water with a slight stimulation.

Ding Qing and Li Zicheng leaned against each other and watched Li You drink slowly.

The man in front of him seemed to have never stopped since they met.

When ordinary people achieve some success, they always take a break and enjoy the results. However, Li You keeps moving forward.

"I'm asking something I shouldn't ask," Ding Qing said with a laugh, "Have you never considered taking a break?"

Li You raised an eyebrow, "Rest?"

"At your current age and status, you are already the most outstanding person on the Korean Peninsula," Ding Qing stopped smiling and sighed, "but you don't feel tired at all, either mentally or physically."

"Fatigue?" Li You frowned and thought for two seconds. He seemed to have lost the concept of fatigue a long time ago. He rushed forward with his power like a perpetual motion machine.

"If you have a goal, you won't feel tired," Li You smiled, "I'm pursuing much more than what I have now."

He said calmly: "I am not strong enough right now. There are still so many things that can be above my head."

Li You glanced at Ding Qing and Li Zicheng and shook his head gently, "I'm not happy about that."

"So what's next?" After thinking for a while, Ding Qing took the initiative to ask Li You, "Which way are you going to take us?"

Li You looked at Ding Qing and Li Zicheng, "Shi Dongchu and I are going to take different paths. The Kinmen Group cannot be completely cleansed like Shi Dongchu did."

"That will only make the Kinmen Group more and more innocent, and then turn it into a complete soft persimmon."

Ding Qing's eyes were solemn, and he began to understand what Li You meant.

Li You snorted coldly, "No matter how whitewashed the Kinmen Group is, it will only be whitewashed in the eyes of the people, but in the eyes of those high-ranking dignitaries."

"The Kinmen Group has always been the same Kinmen Group as before, and has even lost its ability to bring iron and blood."

Li You shook his head and rejected Shi Dongchu's idea, "Shi Dongchu wants to turn Kinmen Group into a community of interests like a chaebol, providing jobs for tens or even hundreds of thousands of people.

So he seeks protection from politicians and cooperation from prosecutors.”

Ding Qing looked straight at Li You, "You want to ride on their heads."

He smiled and said, "It won't be easy. I'll wait and see."

In fact, Li You did this for some other reasons. [Dark Glory] has always been his greatest help.

After Li You's research, he found that the focus is not only on glory, but also on the word darkness. Only the violent force in his hands will be extremely loyal and will do whatever he is told to do.

Like other subordinates, such as Chen Daojun, the effect of the entry on him is not so strong, and he will not do anything that harms Li You's interests. But if Li You asks him to do something that goes against common sense, such as committing suicide or killing his friends, Chen Daojun will not do it.

It seemed as if the entry was reminding him in some way that the essence of the Kinmen Group was to return to violence.

"Look at how soft they are. When Li Zhongjiu was arrested, the first thing they did was to fight among themselves," Li You sneered, "Guess what they would do if the police arrested one of the top leaders of the Italian Mafia?"

“If two police stations hadn’t been blown up, they would have been merciful.” Li You said this and recalled a true story he had read.

A famous Italian man. Falcone, Minister of Criminal Law of the Ministry of Justice, is also the most active person in dealing with the Italian Mafia. He has experienced many assassinations by the Italian Mafia and even needs a police escort every time he goes home.

So in 1992, after a busy day at work, he was trying to return home under the escort of several police cars, and then he was blown into the sky by a full ton of TNT on the highway.

That’s right, a whole ton. Li You found it hard to imagine how fanatical the planner was.

A total of more than 400 meters of asphalt road was blown to pieces, and the highway was temporarily closed due to severe damage.

Millions of people took to the streets, demanding severe punishment for the mafia.

The parade was well-intentioned, but after it was over, Falcone’s most loyal friend and subordinate, Borsellino, was also blown to the sky.

The road that was blown up this time was shorter, only about two hundred meters.

Finally, in 1994, the Mafia gave face to the Italian authorities, and the police caught the masterminds of the two cases, two low-level thugs with no status.

As to whether it was them or not, no one dared to care.

Li You did not tell this story to the two of them, otherwise they would think that what Li You pursued was a little excessive.

"You have to be careful anyway," Ding Qing reminded him, "If Li Zhongjiu gets desperate, you have to be sure to crush him to death."

Li You nodded, "Don't worry, I'm sure."

In the following period, except for Li Zhongjiu who was imprisoned, the entire Kinmen Group entered a period of rapid development.

The ocean trading company that Ding Qing mentioned has woven a network in Incheon that is large enough to cover the sky and the sun.

They openly send smuggled meat into the Korean Peninsula, and are equipped with special inspection certificates to prove that the meat is in good condition, and even proof of entry.

Everything is available except proof of no tax payment.

The meat then flowed through Kinmen trade to Seoul and some cities closer to Seoul in the Gyeonggi Province circle.

With Li You's tacit approval, Taowu Delivery cooperated with Kinmen Trading to deliver these high-quality meats to supermarkets.

This is really high-quality meat, which has been strictly inspected and there is absolutely no problem with it.

During a dinner party, Ding Qing even patted his chest and made a bold statement.

“Let all the people of the Korean Peninsula eat cheap and good meat!”

Li You was also caught up in the chaos of work. Whether it was Kinmen Real Estate or Kinmen Entertainment, or Chen Daojun's shopping delivery and payment platform, every document needed to be reviewed by Li You, and he made the decision personally.

In the real estate and entertainment sectors alone, nearly ten projects have been launched during this period. Each project plan has to go through several revisions, and each revision is proposed by Li You after review.

There is also a construction plan for Taowu, as well as some future planning documents.

All these documents were piled up together, like a small hill.

Not only that, Li You also had to go to various bars to discuss business, and during this period he acted like a real businessman.

Fortunately, the work in the gray industry is relatively simple. It only requires a guy with enough courage to manage the situation and collect the money on time.

Cui Dou Ri completed the job perfectly and even recommended a number of tough guys worth training to Jiangnan Security.

The scale of Jiangnan Security is now getting bigger and bigger. An Shangjiu sorted out the member files that day and asked Li You to review them. There are about two hundred people in the three groups.

There are more than sixty veterans recommended by General Yin Jijun alone.

These are not just young men who have simply returned from their compulsory military service; they are all experts who have spent a long time in the army.

Jiangnan Security's external business was also carried out by Zheng Zaizhong, but the money they earned was not as much as their salary. Li Youchun invested money in them to support them and even arranged for many of their family members to work in the Kinmen Group.

Those who are capable will join Kinmen Group and do work related to their profession, while those who are not capable will be assigned to factories, where the treatment is much better than that of other companies.

The second group consisted of about one hundred and twenty people, who were under the charge of Quan Zaijun. They were guys who would not hesitate to kill people. After Quan Zaijun and his men screened the people recommended by Cui Douri, those who remained became his subordinates.

The last part has the smallest number of people, and we have to thank Mian Zhenghe.

After his death, Park Tae-soo put him on the newspaper. When Yanbian saw that their boss had died in Seoul, apart from fighting among themselves for positions, the only thing they did was to sneak into Seoul to seek revenge.

As a result, the only places for illegal immigration on the Korean Peninsula are Busan, Yeosu, or Incheon Port.

In Busan, there is Song Rina, the daughter of Song Dong-hyuk, whose video was recorded by Jeon Jae-joon killing his brother. These people were immediately captured by her when they smuggled over, and then Jeon Jae-joon sent people to bring them to Seoul.

In Lishui, Xu Zhonglie treated them completely, and Incheon was half the base camp of Ding Qing and his gang.

These Yanbian people were captured in different places and sent to the most famous Yanbian F4. After a short training period, they learned to obey orders obediently.

These undocumented people are now the ones who do the dirty work under Li You. They are also the cheapest people. Although it is not yet time to let them kill high-ranking officials, they will be used sooner or later.

It was another evening, Li You was sitting in the office processing documents, and An Shangjiu hurried over.

He was in front of Li You's desk, nervously delivering the message, "Chairman Nim, Director Ding was assassinated."
