After Ma Xiang washed his feet, he went to his own place and walked around. It was around 10pm, which is the peak period of nightlife. Many young men who are energetic and full of fantasy, including middle-aged men, will choose to take a sauna during this time to have a good time. In the past, business at the Crystal Palace was very good at this hour. The ladies carried their bags in an endless stream and led the anxious guests to the private rooms, serving them wholeheartedly. But today
It¡¯s deserted.
There were only a few wretched and shabbily dressed guests in the hall, wandering around with suspicious eyes.
In the ladies¡¯ lounge, a large group of girls with heavy makeup were bored, drawing eyebrows, yawning, and some were watching movies on their mobile phones.
"Damn," Ma Xiang cursed in a low voice, and then left the Crystal Palace without looking back.
Ma Xiang stood at the door of the Crystal Palace with a cigarette in his mouth and cold eyes, and saw the Tianjiao International Sauna Center diagonally opposite, not far away where people were singing and dancing. I saw many luxury cars driving in quickly, and I saw many satisfied customers walking out with cigarettes in their mouths and adjusting their belts.
Ma Xiang felt furious.
He believed that the money he should have earned was actually robbed by an inexplicable person. If killing your father and seizing your wife is the greatest hatred in the world, then robbing business and wealth that should belong to you is the second greatest hatred in the world.
"I must get rid of this Tianjiao International." Ma Xiang swore in his heart, and then he drove away in his Jaguar.
Ma Xiang parked the car at the district committee compound in Huixi District.
He walked into Building 1 of the District Committee as if he knew the way.
Ma Xiang¡¯s uncle lives in a three-bedroom apartment with two living rooms in Building 1 of the District Committee. Because Ma Xiang's uncle is the district committee secretary of Huixi District and the top leader of the party and government.
?Knock on the door and go in.
It was my aunt who opened the door. She was a gentle woman in her forties. She glanced at Ma Xiang and said, "Xianger, are you here? Are you looking for your uncle?"
"Well, aunt. I came over to talk to uncle about something." Ma Xiang said with a smile.
"Then you come in," my aunt welcomed Ma Xiang in, asked Ma Xiang to sit on the sofa, and then started peeling fruit for Ma Xiang, and said, "Xianger, wait a minute, your uncle is taking a bath. By the way. , how is business lately?"
"Auntie, please leave me alone. I can just wait here for my uncle. You are busy with your business. Business, hehe there is a small situation." Ma Xiang said.
Auntie came over carrying a fruit plate with a surprised look on her face. "What happened to the business?" A layer of worry immediately appeared on my aunt's face.
Auntie¡¯s worries are not unreasonable.
Ma Xiang¡¯s mother is the sister of Tong Yitao, secretary of the Huixi District Party Committee. When he was a child, his family was very poor and his parents passed away early. Tong Yitao was raised by his elder sister hand and foot. Tong Yitao has been very good at studying since he was a child. Later, he had to be admitted to a prestigious university, which required a lot of tuition and living expenses. Poor families cannot afford it. Ma Xiang's mother used herself as a bargaining chip in order to let her younger brother study and be successful in the future. She married a businessman who was more than 20 years older than herself. It can be said. She used her youth and body to buy Tong Yitao the opportunity to study and a future future. In this way, it is not difficult to imagine the relationship between the siblings.
Later, when Tong Yitao was able to improve his sister's life and destiny, her sister died in an accident in a car accident. My brother-in-law also died of illness. Only the single seedling of Ma Xiang was left. Tong Yitao can be said to have shown his kindness to his sister. The guilt and debt were all pinned on Ma Xiang. But Ma Xiang has not been a law-abiding person since he was a child. Since junior high school, I have been involved in society. Later, when it was time to go to college, he didn't go to college and kept collecting protection money. Later, he was bullied and deliberately hurt others. Violated criminal law. Tong Yitao went through many connections to get Ma Xiang to be sentenced to only 3 years. After Ma Xiang was released from prison, he teamed up with some idle people in society to open an investment company. In fact, it was a loan sharking company. Tong Yitao knew that something would happen to his nephew if he continued like this. So he used his connections to help Ma Xiang open a nightclub. Ma Xiang was finally on the right track. Within a few years, he transformed the nightclub into a sauna center, made a lot of money, and stopped engaging in those illegal things.
Only then did Tong Yitao and his wife heave a sigh of relief. And they all know subconsciously that if the sauna center's business is good, Ma Xiang will probably never break the law again in this life; but if the business fails, Ma Xiang may take risks and make money again.
Therefore, the Crystal Palace business determines Ma Xiang¡¯s future destiny to a large extent.
So when I heard Ma Xiang say there was something wrong with the business, my aunt's face changed.
"Then after your uncle takes a bath, you have a good talk with him. Xiang'er, you must not??Forget it, you can talk to your uncle later. You have to listen to your uncle. Your uncle will not harm you. "Auntie said seriously.
"Auntie, I know, don't worry, I will listen to uncle." Ma Xiang said pretending to be obedient.
Not long after, Tong Yitao came out after taking a shower. When he saw Ma Xiang coming to visit him so late, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, this guy usually only cares about his own happiness, but he rarely comes to see me? Did something happen?
At this time, aunt walked up to Tong Yitao and muttered a few words.
Tong Yitao¡¯s expression also changed.
So Tong Yitao quickly called his nephew to the study.
"Uncle, I want to report it!" As soon as he entered the study, Ma Xiang said with a fierce voice and a ferocious look on his face.
"A sauna center opened opposite the Crystal Palace, called 'Tianjiao International'. I report Tianjiao International for gathering people, selling, prostitution, whoring, and prostitution!" Ma Xiang said with a distorted face.
As soon as he heard this, Tong Yitao's face darkened. He slowly pulled out a cigarette, and Ma Xiang quickly leaned over to light his uncle's cigarette.
"Has it affected your business?" Tong Yitao stopped beating around the bush and asked straight to the point. Selling|prostitution|whoring|prostitution? This is what Crystal Palace does. If you come here to report Tianjiao International, are you showing a sense of social morality? It¡¯s not just about the business nonsense! Let¡¯s compete. There used to be other sauna plazas opened in Huixi District, and Ma Xiang also came to 'report' them. Later, Tong Yitao used his connections to forcibly close down that sauna plaza.
"It's seriously affected." Ma Xiang was rude, "Uncle, I have no business at all now. Uncle, you know this. I bought a piece of land in the suburbs of Huixi| and borrowed tens of millions from the bank. , I want to engage in real estate, but now the funds for the second phase of the project are entirely dependent on the money earned by Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace¡¯s business has been affected. Not only can my construction site not start, I can¡¯t even repay the bank loan"
"Okay, stop talking about your thoughts. I understand," Tong Yitao waved his hand, signaling Ma Xiang not to continue nagging. Tong Yitao took a long drag on his cigarette. "Who dares to open up such a sensual place in such a big way without some background and connections? You dare to open the Crystal Palace, but it's not because of your uncle and my influence. When this Tianjiao International opens, please invite me to go too. Yes. Hehe, I have a relationship like Secretary Ke. It¡¯s not easy to deal with"
Tong Yitao also knows the affairs within his jurisdiction very well.
"Uncle, if you find it difficult, then I won't make it difficult for you. I will handle it myself." Ma Xiang said fiercely.
"If the white way doesn't work, let's take the dark way!"
"Shut up!" Tong Yitao said sternly. "Don't cause trouble with me! Your mother died early, and I don't want to see you fall!"
After a pause, Tong Yitao narrowed his eyes. Then he drummed his fingers on the desk. "Secretary Ke will be promoted to mayor next year during the election. However, even if he becomes mayor, he will still be only the second-in-command."
"Yes! The top leader is Secretary Mingyuan. Hey, uncle, you are a close confidant of Secretary Mingyuan. To be honest, uncle, you and Secretary Ke are not from the same faction. What the hell are you afraid of!" Ma Xiang encouraged.
Tong Yitao put out the cigarette butt. "To be honest, Secretary Mingyuan and Secretary Ke have never been on the same page. Previously, Secretary Mingyuan was opposed to Secretary Ke taking over the position of Mayor Bao. Later, it was because Secretary Ke found connections in the province"
"Uncle, anyway, Secretary Mingyuan is the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of our Z City. The number one leader is firmly holding down Secretary Ke. Secretary Ke has people in the province, but our Secretary Mingyuan doesn't have anyone? Let's do it! Besides, this is another matter. I'm not asking you to go directly to Secretary Ke, it's just a nightclub. I don't think Secretary Ke will fall out with you because of the owner of a sauna center. Secretary Ke also knows that, uncle, you are a wise man. Secretary Yuan's people. Once Secretary Ke has a falling out with your uncle, it means that he will go against Secretary Mingyuan Isn't that serious? Secretary Ke is not that stupid, is he?" Ma Xiang is obviously interested in this officialdom. A set, with its own understanding.
"You kid!" Tong Yitao's expression softened a little. "The Gou Bureau of the Municipal Public Security Bureau has a relationship with Tianjiao International! Next year, Secretary Ke will take office and be promoted to mayor. The position of Secretary of the Municipal Law Committee will be reserved for Gou Bureau. But Come on, your uncle, I will be there right away. You have to be transferred out of City Z. Come on, for the sake of your mother, uncle will help you one last time. Remember, you must do business well in the future and follow the right path. I like you doing real estate very much. That is transformation. . Keep doing this nightclub is not the answer."
"Ah? Uncle, are you going to be transferred?" Ma Xiang's face changed and he was very anxious. "Uncle, then, who will protect me from now on? Uncle, you have to be transferred toWhere to go? "
"From now on, you will do business openly, without breaking the law, and everything will follow the rules. Do you still need water to take care of you?" Tong Yitao said with a serious look. After a pause, his tone softened. "Okay, don't worry. Lao Ou, the director of the District Public Security Bureau, is mine. He will take care of you when I leave. Also, the new District Party Committee Secretary also worked for your uncle and me. I will say hello. I will be transferred to the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau of city n."
"Ha~~~~Uncle, then you are promoted! Congratulations, uncle!" Ma Xiang quickly congratulated. The conversation quickly changed. "Then, uncle, what's going on with Tianjiao International?"
"Tomorrow I will ask Lao Ou to personally lead a team to Tianjiao International to catch the scene. Catch the prostitutes and the prostitutes. On Secretary Ke's side, I will ask Secretary Mingyuan to stabilize." Tong Yitao said quickly. "The fine should be fined. Of course, we don't expect to block Tianjiao International directly. After all, he still has a background. But, if he is arrested a few more times and fined a few more times, his business will be affected. Anyway, he often Closing down for rectification will also be of great benefit to your Crystal Palace business."
"Oh! Thank you uncle! Damn, if you catch him a few more times, I won't believe he's not afraid! Hahahahaha!" Ma Xiang laughed happily.
¡¡¡¡¡¡
Tianjiao International Sauna Center.
Huang Xiaolong welcomed a special guest.
This guest is a neatly dressed, extremely well-dressed middle-aged man with clean and slender fingers and a capable and sharp temperament.
Brother Huayang.
In Huang Xiaolong¡¯s office.
"Oh? Are you Brother Huayang who often calls and threatens me?" Huang Xiaolong looked at Brother Huayang in astonishment, "You even came to visit me in person?"
Huang Xiaolong was speechless.
Originally. According to Brother Huayang's request, after going to n city to gamble with Long Hui, and rescue Yan Kai and Teacher Peng, the relationship between the two parties should come to an end. Huang Xiaolong didn't expect that Brother Huayang would haunt him again.
"You still want to bet with me?" Huang Xiaolong said angrily. "Okay, if you want to bet, I can accompany you."
"Hey, Huang Xiaolong, it's our first time meeting, don't be so angry." Brother Huayang said. He was actually very polite. "I went to your Tianjiao International Nightclub a few days ago, and today I went to your Tianjiao International Sauna Center to have a look. Well, you are doing very well. It seems that you can do well without gambling. .¡±
¡°I said, I don¡¯t like gambling very much.¡± Huang Xiaolong shrugged. "The time I went to City N to gamble, you were the one who forced me. I know that the gambling industry is too deep. I want to live a simpler life. Gambling is not suitable for me after all."
Hearing what Huang Xiaolong said, Brother Huayang and the two Ma Zai standing behind him showed complicated expressions on their faces. It's an expression that contains both relief and regret.
????????????????????????????????????????? Because Huang Xiaolong said this, it showed that he was indeed not someone sent by hostile forces to cause trouble. But a truly anonymous God of Gamblers.
It¡¯s a pity because they have all seen Huang Xiaolong¡¯s incredible gambling skills. Now, Huang Xiaolong keeps saying that he no longer gambles, which is tantamount to using this magical gambling technique. It was buried directly.
"To be honest, I, Huayang, admire your gambling skills very much." Brother Huayang became more and more polite as he spoke, and his admiration was clearly shown during the conversation. "Huang Xiaolong, what happened between us before was all misunderstandings. Come, let's get acquainted again."
Brother Huayang stood up and stretched out his hand to Huang Xiaolong.
Huang Xiaolong stood up in shock, shook hands with Brother Huayang, and thought, Damn, what is this? No acquaintance without fighting? well¡¡
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed into Huang Xiaolong¡¯s mind.
Could it be that because they saw that I was good at gambling, they wanted to recruit me and let me do things for them?
As soon as this idea came up, Huang Xiaolong felt very disgusted.
He no longer wants to be anyone¡¯s pawn, and he doesn¡¯t want to be associated with the gambling industry.
"Well, Huang Xiaolong, there is something I want to ask you to help me with." Brother Huayang said politely. Now, he couldn't be rude. On the one hand, he really wanted Huang Xiaolong, but on the other hand, it was because Brother Huayang was also a gambler. After he saw Huang Xiaolong¡¯s gambling skills, he had an invincible and unmatched feeling towards Huang Xiaolong¡¯s gambling skills. The emotion of worship.
¡°I¡¯m sorry, I can¡¯t help you,¡± Huang Xiaolong said flatly without even thinking about it.
"Ah? Mr. Huang Xiaolong, we really need your help," the two Ma Zi standing behind Brother Huayang blurted out immediately. "And we will give you enough compensation"
"Hahahahareward?" Huang Xiaolong said with a slightly sarcastic smile. "You have also seen that I have opened a nightclub and a sauna center. My nightclub will undergo major adjustments in the near future. It will take a high-end route and celebrities will come to visit. In other words, I can make a lot of money every month. A lot of money, so, do I still need what you call 'remuneration'? Well, needless to say, if you are here for fun, I will give you a 50% discount on your consumption tonight. If you have other purposes, please Come back!"
"Huang Xiaolong, please think about it!" Brother Huayang said in a slightly pleading tone.
At this point, Brother Huayang can no longer use threats against Huang Xiaolong. Because she was asking for help from others, Miss Third's matter was very difficult, and she had to have someone with superb gambling skills to deal with Zhu Sanshan. Moreover, Huang Xiaolong¡¯s gambling skills were so strong that it was not a good thing to anger him too much. So, all I can do is beg.
¡°I don¡¯t have to think about it.¡± Huang Xiaolong stood up directly.
at this time¡¡
"boom!!!!!"
The office door was kicked open!
In an instant, a group of people rushed in!
The leader was thin and short, with a scar on his face and traces of vitiligo on his neck. He was a man in his forties, with eyes as sharp as wild wolves.
Followed by Ma Xiang¡¯s two confidants, Lao Wang and A Bao. Behind them are a group of idle social youths.
The short man headed by him is Ouyang Lie, the most famous underworld eldest brother in City Z today. Ouyang Lie and Ma Xiang have some friendship. Tonight, two of Ma Xiang's confidants, A Bao and Lao Wang, went to Ouyang Lie to negotiate about Tianjiao International. Ouyang Lie had drunk some wine and was very grumpy, so he thought to himself, damn, when this Tianjiao International opened, he didn't even say hello to me. Did he think that I was the eldest brother of City Z?
Thinking of this, Ouyang Lie became angry because of the drunkenness, and immediately brought his men Ma Zai over to cause trouble.
On the one hand, Ouyang Lie wanted to help Ma Xiang and earn some money from Ma Xiang; on the other hand, Ouyang Lie also knew that Tianjiao International's business was booming, so he wanted to bully the market and forcefully occupy some shares.
You must know that as the most powerful gangster brother in City Z today, Ouyang Lie holds shares in many nightclubs and companies in City Z. When many nightclubs open, they will actively invite Ouyang Lie and give him shares. At that time, Huang Xiaolong did not consider the underworld aspect. Ouyang Lie has already been offended.
"Damn it, who is the boss? Stand up! Our brother Ouyang wants to talk to you tonight!" Ma Xiang's Ma Zai Laowang shouted as soon as he entered the door. "Fuck! I scolded the guy next door. He's doing business in City Z and he doesn't offer incense and tribute to our brother Ouyang. Are you out of your mind?"
"Huh?" Huang Xiaolong was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the group of uninvited guests, but didn't react at all.
"boom!"
Surprisingly, Brother Huayang directly patted the table and stood up. "Ouyang Lie, are you too full to hold on? I'm talking to Mr. Huang, why are you barging in? Are you looking for death?"
"Huh?" Ouyang Lie then noticed that there were several well-dressed men sitting in the office. Among them, Brother Huayang was pointing his finger at his face and roaring angrily.
"HuaHuaBrother Huayangheheyou, what are you doing here" Ouyang Lie suddenly woke up from the wine, and he looked at Brother Huayang in shock, "Huang? Mr. Huang ?¡±
Brother Huayang is also a mature person. When he saw Ouyang Lie rushing in and heard the few words shouted by Lao Wang, he immediately knew the outline of the matter, so he said with an angry face. "A bunch of little bastards! A mafia club? What a fart! A bunch of idiots! Damn it, are you the ones who dare to make trouble in Mr. Huang's place? Slap yourself immediately! Apologize! Get out!"
