Kang Million Family History
"Kang Million" was originally named Kang Yaomei. It is said that Kang Yaomei's ancestors were from Longxi, Fujian, and went to Nan 'ao Island to make a living during the Kangxi period. By Kang Yaomei's generation, it was already the Qing Dynasty. Because times were hard, my father Kang Shiyuan went to Taiwan Province Province to make a living after giving birth to his eldest brother Kang Yaode and his second son Kang Yaomei. As adults, the two Kang brothers cut grass and sell brooms for a living. Because it is close to the seaside, I often go to the seaside to touch snails and catch crabs at night. When passing through Wupingzhai, every time I saw an abandoned well glowing at night, the curious brothers looked forward and saw that the luminous body was originally some bricks embedded in the well circle. The brothers knew that they had found the treasure. As a result, the BRICS were taken home in batches. Later, the BRICS was sold in the mainland, and the Kang family got the funds to open a winery.

Running a brewery needs a good water source. One day, Kang Yaomei picked a bucket to find water. After several trips to the village, she didn't like it very much, so she stopped to take a nap under a tree on the roadside. In his sleep, an old man with a child's face told him that the pit water under the tree is a famous "stone eye" water, which is especially suitable for brewing wine. The second child woke up and picked up the pit water under the tree to wash his face. It's really cool, and the water flowing through the pit smells of grass. Kangma picked the water back to make wine, and it was really mellow and intoxicating. Kang's winery suddenly flourished. Kang, who made a fortune in the winery, took advantage of the situation and opened a pawnshop in Shen' ao.

Kang, who has accumulated a certain amount of capital, went to Jieyang to manage the sugar industry in order to achieve greater development. One evening, a Luma (ancient postman) sent a letter, which read "Jieyang County contains beautiful sugar". Kang couldn't help beaming when he saw that the mailing address was Shanghai. It turns out that the candy store opened by Kang is called Hemei Sugar Store. As it was getting late, Luma sent the letter that should have been sent by mistake to the "Hemei Sugar Shop" next door. Due to the recent sharp rise in sugar prices in Shanghai, this letter is to urge "sugar companies including the United States" to buy sugar and ship it to Shanghai as soon as possible. Information is wealth. Kang immediately opened a sugar shop and snapped up all the sugar in Jieyang that night, but the next day, he couldn't buy a "cane bag" (sugar packaging bag) in the city. It turned out that when Luma sent the letter to the next door the next morning, the owner of "Han Mei Sugar Store" also sent someone to buy sugar. Knowing that the sugar had been snapped up by the sugar store next door and that the news leaked, "Han Mei Sugar Store" immediately bought "sugarcane bags" all over the city, and as a result, Kang's sugar could not be shipped out. In order to make money harmoniously, two sugar companies decided to jointly operate this business, and both made a fortune from it.

After making a fortune, Kang set foot on his way home ambitiously, and sent a message to his father in Taiwan Province to return home. In order to protect the huge family property, Kang Yaomei presented a tribute to the court and was named "Kang Million".
