Chapter 24
After the car arrived at the hotel, Yang Cheng knew that Liu Jianjun was impatient, so he didn't ask for a room to rest, and asked him to contact the casino directly.
On the way here, he called a few friends and got roughly the same answer. They all said that Korean casinos have inherited Bangzi’s stingy and stingy style, and they can only deceive small players. Really powerful big customers rarely come Korean play.
And Liu Jianjun also said that although Jin Jingdao loves to gamble, he is very measured, and if he is unlucky, he will stop in time. If Liu Jianjun did not lie, or if Jin Jingdao did not lie to him, then this time he was probably tricked by the casino. .
The person from the casino quickly came out from the side door. He was a bald man, not tall, wearing a black vest, with tattoos covering almost his whole body. He looked at Yang Cheng and the others, and his obscene eyes stayed on Hannah for a few seconds, which made Hannah very sad. Uncomfortably hiding behind Yang Cheng, the bald man smiled and said, "Are you friends of that kid named Jin?"
"Are you the person in charge of the casino?" Liu Jianjun had been told countless times by Yang Cheng, but now he didn't dare to speak first, and Yang Cheng was in charge of negotiating.
Yang Cheng patted Hannah's shoulder lightly and asked her to help with the translation. She had the image of a bohemian and aristocratic son, shaking his phone cynically, and didn't pay attention to the vicious mazi at all.
"Boy, I'm the one who's asking you now." The bald head took two steps forward dissatisfied. Hansen kept his responsibilities in mind and didn't dare to neglect. But crawling out of the pile of dead people on the Iraqi battlefield, this kind of low-level gangster still doesn't look down on him.
"Well, it seems that you are not the person in charge, so please call the person in charge here, you are not qualified to talk to me." Yang Cheng was very relieved of Hansen, with him around, the bald head couldn't get in at all, with a light tone To the bald head's ears, it was blatant contempt.
But the bald head is not stupid, Yang Cheng speaks American English, and Hansen, the killer in the army, is the bodyguard, and the calm and relaxed manner of hugging the beautiful woman is not pretending at all, glaring at Han
Yang Cheng went to find the person in charge. First, he was too lazy to talk to someone who could not be the master. Second, he hurried out of this smoky place. Regardless of the magnificent decoration of the hotel, in Yang Cheng's eyes, it was very filthy. It would be a crime to stay here for an extra minute. Wouldn't it be better to have this time to go out to sea with a beautiful woman in your arms. Sen put down a few harsh words at a glance and went back to call for someone.
The purpose of opening a casino is to make money, and there is no need to offend big shots for trivial matters. Before Yang Cheng's identity is known, it is still inappropriate to do it.
Of course, the more important thing is that Yang Cheng is afraid that if he stays in the casino for a long time, he will be banned by the "river crab".
After a while, a man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, who looked like a gentleman rushed over with security guards, and asked Yang Cheng in English, "Hello, I am the manager of this casino, what do you call sir?" ?”
"My surname is Yang, let's talk in another place." Yang Cheng pointed to the tourists in the lobby and said.
The casino manager readily accepted Yang Cheng's proposal, led the way ahead, entered the casino through a side door, did not stay too much in the lobby on the first floor, and went directly to the VIP room on the second floor.
The casino manager waved away some of the security guards, and then asked Jin Jingdao to be lifted up by the bald head, and greeted Yang Cheng and the others to sit down in the sofa area with a smile.
"Mr. Yang, I don't know who this little brother surnamed Jin is?" The casino manager pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, pouring coffee for Yang Cheng, and tentatively asked.
"You think too much, you are just a disobedient little brother, causing trouble for your casino." Yang Cheng crossed his legs, did not touch the coffee, and played with Hannah's little hand in his hand.
From the moment she entered the door, Hannah stuck herself firmly to Yang Cheng, as if only in this way could she feel at ease. This was the first time she experienced such an occasion, and her slightly trembling body showed her nervousness.
Fortunately, she doesn't need to translate now, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to hear all the words.
"Mr. Yang is serious."
The manager would like to say a few words of courtesy,
But was interrupted by Yang Cheng, who said bluntly, "Are you from the Xin family?"
Yang Cheng noticed the name on the other party's badge, Xin Zhengyi, shouldn't it be a coincidence?
Xin Zhengyi was taken aback for a moment, noticed Yang Cheng's gaze, and said with a light smile, "Well, Mr. Yang knows something about our Xin family?"
"That's not true, but it's a coincidence that I just met you, a member of the Xin family, when I wanted to cooperate with you." Yang Cheng helped Hannah bring a cup of coffee, and replied casually.
Xin Zhengyi didn't doubt it, because Yang Cheng's tone clearly put himself on an equal footing with the Xin family, and he didn't come to ask for help in a low voice.
"It's really a coincidence. I don't know what kind of cooperation Mr. Yang wants to cooperate with? If it's about Jeju Island, you can talk to me directly." Xin Zhengyi asked with great interest.
Just as he was about to answer, the heavy door of the VIP room was pushed open, and the former bald head led two subordinates and walked in with Jin Jingdao between them.
Looking at Jin Jingdao, who had a blue nose and swollen eyes, he didn't have the arrogance he had when he first met Yang Cheng at this moment, his head was as listless as an eggplant beaten by frost.
Frowning slightly, Xu Kong pointed to Jin Jingdao, "Manager Xin, is it too much to beat people?"
Liu Jianjun even rushed over to push away the bald men, concerned about Jin Jingdao's injury.
Xin Zhengyi sneered, this is not a big deal at all, anyone who owes money to the casino will inevitably be beaten, but beating a dog depends on the owner.
A disobedient dog broke off the leash and ran out to run wild. The owner didn't like it. It's understandable to get it back and give it a lesson, but it doesn't mean that anyone on the road can go up and kick it casually.
Before Yang Cheng, the owner, came and made it clear that he would not pay back the money, it was really unreasonable to beat him like this.
"Well, Mr. Yang, I'm in charge. Brother Jin doesn't have to pay back the debt. Let's write it off. How about we talk about cooperation?" After thinking about it for a long time, Xin Zhengyi took the initiative to sell it well, ready to turn the matter over.
But Yang Cheng didn't speak, but stood up with his pockets in his pocket and came to Jin Jingdao, Hannah followed closely with Yang Cheng's arm.
Kicked Jin Jingdao, "You're not dead, are you?"
Jin Jingdao shook his head feebly with the defeated rooster.
Yang Cheng added, "I'll give you two choices. First, according to Manager Xin's plan, you don't have to pay back the money you owe the casino. Of course, the beating will be for nothing; second, I will help you pay back 800,000 US dollars." , get up by yourself and beat up the person who beat you, think clearly and tell me your choice."
As soon as the words came out, someone from the bald man understood, and immediately rushed up to teach Yang Cheng to be a man, but was stopped by Hansen immediately, with one hand in his arms, ready to draw a gun at any time, except for Hansen and Andrew in country Z , In any other place, the weapon is always on the body 24 hours a day. With a gun in hand, the few people in the room are not enough for him to eat with a spoonful.
And Xin Zhengyi's face was not so good-looking. Before he found out Yang Cheng's true identity, he had already looked at Yang Cheng highly enough, and offered to give him a step up, but Yang Cheng's words obviously did not care about him. Although Xin Zhengyi was The side branch of the Xin family also represents the face of the Xin family on the outside. Isn't the big family living for the face of the Xin family? Now it's not obvious that they are slapping the face of the Xin family. He is already thinking about how to teach Yang Cheng a lesson.
The scene was tense, and the oppressive atmosphere made it difficult to breathe. In fact, only Hannah felt this way. She had never seen such a big scene before. The high-heeled shoes that showed her figure had also become a burden at this time, if it hadn't been for supporting Yang Cheng all the time, it would be hard to say that they were lying on the ground now.
Liu Jianjun was not afraid, he wished he could choose the second option for Jin Jingdao at this time, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak out.
In the VIP room where needles can be heard, 7 or 8 pairs of eyes are fixed on Jin Jingdao, his choice will determine the next trend of the room.
I don't know how long it took, maybe tens of seconds, or more than 10 minutes. In this oppressive environment, everyone lost the sense of time, and Jin Jingdao finally spoke.
. . .
Just when everyone was trapped in an oppressive atmosphere, Yang Cheng was distracted. He thought that in less than two years, this lotte would be a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. He had to make good preparations to shear some wool and eat some lamb .
The memory of his previous life told him that as the conflict between the Xin family father and son reached its peak, although Xin Dongbin won the tragic victory of the family struggle through a single trick, Xin Dongbin met the lotte before the position of the first person in the lotte was hot. in trouble.
Because this protracted and much-anticipated family strife has attracted the attention of South Korean prosecutors. If you don’t investigate, you don’t know. If you investigate, you will be shocked. Lotte Company has a big problem.
The Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office has been investigating the headquarters of Lotte Group and several branches in South Korea for nearly half a year, and decided to formally prosecute Xin Gehao, Xin Dongbin, Xin Dongzhu and other members of the Xin family on charges of embezzlement of public funds and tax evasion without arrest. As well as the former or current executives of the lotte group, the amount involved is about 1 billion yuan.
Xin Dongbin made a decisive decision and abandoned the car to protect the handsome man. Li Renyuan, the vice president who had worked in Lotte in Korea for more than 40 years and was also the "second in command", committed suicide during the investigation.
The suicide note left before his death read: "I am loyal to the Xin family! Lotte has no small treasury problem."
As for whether he committed suicide or not, it is a matter of opinion, but there are really not so many coincidences in this world. If there are too many coincidences, it must be the result of human intervention.
Xin Dongbin, who had just been enthroned by the "second prince" and became emperor, was burned out, and he had no choice but to tear down the east wall to make up for the west. The fierce offensive of the South Korean prosecutors and the internal struggle within the family have not yet subsided, all of which made Xin Dongbin too busy to take care of himself.
Don't think that lotte's doing this is a patriotic act. In the eyes of capitalists, a place with money is heaven. The country is a fart. Look at the United States. Don't think that the US Congress is making a fuss. The human rights in country Z are talking about things all the time. In fact, the capitalists in the United States are Those who love country Z the most, because country Z can make them very rich. On the contrary, most of the workers don't like country Z because the hardworking people of country Z have robbed them of their jobs. This is a fact.
Everything has a cause and effect. The United States advocates freedom. These workers hold a large number of votes. In order to win the favor of the workers, to put it bluntly, it is for the votes in their hands. Naturally, they will help scold country Z together, and scold them. The harder you work, the happier you are.
So everyone can find that when it comes to the US general election, all kinds of scandals and swear words about country Z are flying all over the sky. The capitalists waved their green knives to put pressure on them, telling them to shut up tm and hurry up, and if you continue to scold me, I will go bankrupt. If I go bankrupt, you can go eat shit. . .
