Chapter 825: The Temptation of Money
"Understood. Long Wa nodded heavily and responded, "Don't worry, Baimen will definitely get through it." ”
"Let's hope so! Let the patriarchs stay at home and not go out and about. Pei Zhi advised: "No matter what, you must protect them." Without them, the White Gate would have collapsed. ”
Hiding is the only way now, and in the face of the police's arrest, Baimen can only avoid its edge.
"Wow......" At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Pei Zhi spit out one word: "Enter." ”
"Click. The door opened, and Ou Lao strode into the office.
"Ou Lao, why are you here?" Pei Zhi looked at Ou Lao with a gloomy face and asked suspiciously.
"There's something wrong with you. Ou Lao sat on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and said in a deep voice: "Recently, Qinglongtang purchased a batch of weapons from abroad and hid them in the warehouse. Today, the police found out, the weapons were confiscated, and more than a dozen brothers were arrested. ”
Hearing what Ou Lao said, Pei Zhi was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that the warehouses of Qinglong Hall had been checked.
"Smack. Long Wa lit a cigarette for herself, stood aside without saying much, and quietly listened to the conversation between the two.
Pei Zhi frowned slightly and responded: "It seems that we have been targeted by the police!"
"You've got to figure out how to fix this. The police's action greatly damaged the vitality of Baimen, and the cash cows at the entrance of the four halls were cut down. Ou Lao said calmly: "Without money, Baimen can't support it at all." The police took away all the gambling money, and the brothers had to eat. Now all the assets can only sustain half a month's livelihood. ”
If there were no casinos, then Whitegate simply couldn't afford the huge spending, and it would be self-defeating in less than a month.
"In the past, Baimen has also been suppressed by the police, but it has never lost so much money. Ou Lao said in a deep voice.
At this time, Pei Zhi regretted going to assassinate Bai Luoqing. If the latter had not been assassinated, not so many things would have happened.
"Don't do illegal business just yet. Pei Zhi said lightly.
"Okay, we don't have to do illegal business. Ou Lao's tone became sharp: "But, Baimen needs money! If we don't do business, we won't have any money to make at all!"
Hearing Ou Lao's unkind tone, Long Wa flicked the cigarette ash and said, "Ou Lao, you should pay attention to what you say." When this kind of thing happens, everyone's hearts are uncomfortable. ”
"Is there a place for you to speak?" Ou Lao's tiger eyes were round, and he scolded angrily: "Now is the time for the life and death of the White Gate, and we will all die if we make a slight mistake!" I have been in the White Gate for so long, do I need you as a junior to teach me to speak?"
Originally, the warehouse was checked, and Ou Lao's heart was very uncomfortable. Long Wa's words completely ignited his anger!
Long Wa put half a cigarette on the ground and stepped on it twice with her foot. Then, pointing at Ou Lao, he asked coldly, "Old man, what did you say?"
"Remember, even though you are the hall master now, I am still your elder. Ou Lao asked in a deep voice: "Didn't Pei Zhi teach you to respect your elders?
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room was a little solemn. Long Wa was young and frivolous, and after becoming the hall master, she became less and less interested in Ou Lao. For him, only Pei Zhi is his boss, and others are not qualified to teach him.
"Don't rely on the old and sell the old here, Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set!" Long Wa twisted her neck and raised her voice a few points.
"Okay!" Pei Zhi's face showed an unhappy look on his face, and said, "There is such a big thing going on in Baimen, and you are still arguing! The top priority now is to find a way to solve Baimen's financial problem." If you don't have money, everyone has to drink the northwest wind, what's there to make a noise about?"
Hearing what Pei Zhi said, Ou Lao and Long Wa were silent and didn't say anything more......
Early the next morning, Zhuge Hongyu, who was dressed in a long robe, walked into the café and glanced around. Then, when he saw Chu Fengtian not far away, he walked over.
Zhuge Hongyu sat opposite Chu Fengtian, gently fanned the paper fan in his hand, and asked calmly: "Chu Shao, I heard that you are looking for me?"
"Well, I haven't eaten!" Chu Fengtian pointed to the pastries on the table and said with a smile: "Eat something." ”
Zhuge Hongyu raised his eyes slightly, put the paper fan in his hand on the table, and said softly: "Everyone is very busy, let's talk about things first!"
When Chu Fengtian heard this, he smiled slightly, and responded: "It's really not difficult to talk to smart people, I like your character." ”
Zhuge Hongyu smiled indifferently, although he didn't know what Chu Fengtian was going to say, but with the reputation of this Chu family's eldest and youngest, there must be nothing good.
"I heard, do you want to start a business in Yanjing?" Chu Fengtian took a sip of coffee, and his tone was very steady.
"There is this idea. Zhuge Hongyu nodded and said what he thought in his heart: "If the Zhuge family wants to have greater development, they must go out of Linyang." Yanjing has a prosperous economy and a large population. Starting a business here is undoubtedly the best choice. ”
I have to say that Zhuge Hongyu is very smart. Yanjing's economic prosperity is much stronger than that of Linyang City. Although it will be very stressful to start a business here, if you make a name for yourself, you will have a bright future.
"You're right. After Chu Fengtian heard what Zhuge Hongyu said, he agreed: "Have brains and be bold, I believe in your ability." ”
"Thank you. Zhuge Hongyu responded politely.
"Is there money?" Chu Fengtian said with a smile: "If you want to start a business in Yanjing, you must first have money. Money is the most basic thing, and there are many young people who have ideas but don't have money. As a result, those entrepreneurial plans cannot be implemented. ”
Indeed, money is the foundation of entrepreneurship. In the early days, many people do not have financial resources and will choose to take out loans to start a business. In the end, successful people soared, and failed people lost money and became insolvent, leading to bankruptcy. Starting a business is risky, and you need to be cautious when investing.
"My dad brought me some money, which should be barely enough. When Zhuge Hongyu heard this, he told the truth: "After all, in the process of starting a business, I can still make some money." ”
"It's not easy to be in Yanjing!" Chu Fengtian said meaningfully, "Are you confident of success?"
There was a bit of sarcasm in his words, obviously looking down on Zhuge Hongyu.
"Success is not based on words, but by deeds. I will work hard to develop and not embarrass the Zhuge family. Zhuge Hongyu faced Chu Fengtian's ridicule and responded calmly: "I'm curious, why does a young master like you pay attention to me, a little person?"
"You are the little young master of the Zhuge family, shouldn't you be a small person?" Chu Fengtian said meaningfully: "My grandfather mentioned the Zhuge family, it was full of praise!"
Although the Zhuge family does not have much money, the old man Zhuge has accumulated good deeds and virtues, and his reputation is far and wide, which can be described as highly respected. Because many people have received his favor, the reputation of the Zhuge family is very good.
"I'm really flattered!" Zhuge Hong said slowly: "If you come to me and just talk about these unnutritious topics, we don't need to talk about it anymore." ”
"Just talk. Chu Fengtian glanced at him and spoke.
"You are a rich young master, and I am a poor boy. If you don't work, the Chu family will give you money. If I don't work, I'm only going to get poorer. As he spoke, Zhuge Hongyu's face showed a cynical smile: "I can't be willing to fall because my background is not as good as yours, right?"
The meaning of the words is obvious, you have money, but you just rely on your family. Although I am poor, I earn money by my own efforts.
These words made Chu Fengtian feel a little embarrassed and fell into an embarrassing situation.
"Isn't it just money?" Chu Fengtian took out a card from the bag beside him, threw it on the table, and said lightly: "There is a million here, buy you a day to chat with me." Is it enough?"
Zhuge Hongyu licked the corners of his mouth, looked at the card on the table, and was silent.
Insult! Chu Fengtian's purpose in doing this was to insult him! This card was like a knife, piercing Zhuge Hongyu's heart.
He is no longer the arrogant young master he used to be. Now he is more mature and rational than before.
"That's boring, isn't it?" After speaking, Zhuge Hongyu endured the anger in his heart and raised his eyes slightly to look at Chu Fengtian.
"Not enough?" Chu Fengtian said as he took out another card from his bag and put it on the table: "You are really greedy for money! I will add another million, is it enough?"
"It's a bit insulting for you to do this!" Zhuge Hongyu pursed his lips, and his tone remained calm.
"In the adult world, is face so important?" Chu Fengtian drank the coffee in his cup. Immediately, he picked up a piece of pastry on the plate, put it in his mouth, and responded: "If you have money to make, what do you want to save face? Two million, just let you chat with me, and you won't lose money!"
Zhuge Hongyu smiled and said jokingly: "Chu Shao said that I laughed, I'm not a beauty, what are I talking to you about?"
"I can help you start a business, I have money and connections. If you want to gain a foothold in Yanjing, it's easy. Chu Fengtian stared at Zhuge Hongyu and threw out the temptation.
Zhuge Hongyu didn't respond in a hurry, he knew that there was no free lunch in the world. Chu Fengtian couldn't help him for no reason, he must have another purpose.
"What do you mean?" Zhuge Hongyu smiled and said, "I don't have a good relationship with you, do you?"
Facing Zhuge Hongyu's questioning, Chu Fengtian did not hide it, and revealed his purpose: "I heard that you have a good relationship with Luo Qianfan. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhuge Hongyu's face changed slightly, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
"He's my eldest brother!" Zhuge Hongyu nodded, without denying it: "He is also the benefactor of our Zhuge family!"
"Help me get him. Whatever you want, I can give it to you. Chu Fengtian said in an astonishing voice: "The matter is done, I guarantee that you will have endless wealth! The Zhuge family can also get better and better......
