Chapter 286: Hotel Lisboa
(Girls' Literature) After returning to the motherland on December 20, 1999. Macau's economy has grown rapidly. More prosperous than ever. As a result, Macao has become the most developed and affluent region in Asia.
Macau is very small in size. It can only be regarded as a prefecture-level city in the mainland. The entire administrative district is divided into seven parishes. The parishes are named after the representative churches of the region.
Swiss banks have not officially entered China. So in Macau, this place is just a simple office. Ye Xun didn't come to Macau blindly. The hand-carved word "macau" on the Hyakmu Caiyun key. Let him be convinced that the answer is in this Chinese casino. Although there is no such thing as that so-called Swiss bank here.
Since you have come to this place famous for gambling. Then Ye Xun and his entourage naturally chose the landmark building "Lisboa Hotel" in the casino to stay. And Ye Xun also planned to get the answer left by Baimu Caiyun's parents. Then he entered the casino and gambled well.
Lisboa. Take the meaning of the capital of Portugal. It is the largest casino among the six casinos under the Macau Entertainment Company. It is also known as the largest casino in East Asia.
And Murong Rushui seems to have a very peculiar enthusiasm for hotels. This is also understandable. After all, this is her favorite profession.
Upon entering the Grand Hotel Lisboa. Murong Rushui carefully looked at the interior decoration of the hotel like a person who came to investigate. If it weren't for the fact that she was dressed very casually. The hotel staff would most likely have taken her for someone sent down by the boss to investigate.
And the hundred eyes Caiyun is still very well-behaved as always. Holding Ye Xun and Murong Rushui's hands. It's just that the two big black and translucent eyes also reveal a hint of curiosity about strange things.
"This embroidery is good. I've always found the halls of the Champs-Elysées a bit monotonous. Blindly using gold as the base. It's a bit cheesy. If only you could hang such a beautiful and delicate embroidery. That must be good. Murong Rushui pointed to the giant embroidery hanging in the hotel lobby. Thinking and laughing.
"This embroidery is called "Goldfish". It is 3.11 meters long. Width 28 meters. It comes from the hands of Xue Jindi, a national senior arts and crafts artist. A total of 35 goldfish were embroidered on the embroidery. The largest of them was the size of a small round table. It is known as "the largest fish embroidered since ancient times". Ye Xun said slowly. Let him tell the origin of these things, the specifics. It's as simple as eating. The devil's training as a teenager was not in vain.
"It's not something that can be embroidered overnight. And it's not easy to find an embroidery master with such good craftsmanship. Murong Rushui smiled softly. This kind of thing that can be met but not sought can only be thought about in the heart.
"This gentleman really has a good eye. There are not many people who can clearly tell the origin of this embroidery. I don't know Mr. Miss. And this lovely little friend. Is it your first time in Macau? ”
A man in a hotel employee's uniform walked over. said very kindly to the three of them. The professional smile on his face looked so sincere. Murong Rushui couldn't help but compare the man in front of him with his own employees. Obviously. The quality of the staff at the Lisboa Hotel is much higher than that of the staff at the Champs-Elysées.
"We had a reservation. Murong Rushui said with a smile. She's not the kind of woman who is arrogant and domineering. As long as others treat each other with courtesy. Then she naturally won't give the other party a cold face.
"Then please come with me. I checked in for a couple of people. If there is a need. I can arrange a tour guide lady to give a few. The man said with a smile. At this time, Murong Rushui saw that the other party's chest was hanging with the manager's brand. However, Ye Xun had already gathered the information of everyone within a radius of twenty meters in his brain. A data link is formed.
The killer's instinct told him. No matter where you are. When. It is important to be vigilant against any eventualities. Even if it's wrong once. It is impossible to have the possibility of never again.
Murong Rushui naturally turned his head and asked Ye Xun what he meant. Seeing Ye Xun nodded. The three of them followed the man and walked towards the hotel front desk. I saw a few people coming.
With the help of the manager. Check-in to the hotel was done quickly. This made Murong Rushui a lot more affirmative of the efficiency of this Lisboa Hotel. But she also has her own self-confidence. At least their own hotels are on par with each other in this regard.
"There's a Swiss bank upstairs. ”
Murong Rushui asked. Ye Xun and Baimu walked behind. Although the little girl did not refuse Ye Xun's hand-holding. But she wanted to be left alone. The Grand Hotel Lisboa is a well-established complex of tourism, entertainment and gambling. Inside this small but complete social entity. Naturally, there will be banks.
"Swiss banks don't. However, there are offices that they have set up. Girls' literature is updated as soon as possible in the five-story casino next to it. We're here in the new wing. That is, the West Block. There is an elevator to go up there. The manager said with a smile. Murong Rushui didn't know why this manager was so attentive to them. And Ye Xun doesn't seem to have a clue about this.
"That's good. I thought your hotel was renovated when it was renovated. Ye Xun said with a smile. The Lisboa Hotel exudes a festive atmosphere everywhere. Something came to his mind. But it's not true.
"This gentleman is really joking. The newly completed Grand Lisboa is not as large as ours. But the facilities are superb. It is the best of our group to build. I hope that Mr. Lisboa can enjoy the most intimate care no matter where he is. The manager said with a smile. It's still so tame. He showed the service tenet of his hotel to Murong Rushui and several people. It's really upper.
"Although it is not the peak season for tourism. But I see that the staff at your hotel seem to be very busy. And everywhere reveals a festive atmosphere. Didn't know what it was all about. Ye Xun asked.
"Oh. That's because of our boss. That is, Mr. Ho Hongmiao, known as the gambling king of Macau, is about to usher in his ninetieth birthday. Merely. Mr. Ho's birthday was not in September. However, in order to welcome the new World Gambling Championship. After a deliberate decision. The Ho family decided to set Mr. Ho's birthday party on the same day as the new World Gambling Championship. Girls' literature is updated for the first time I hope that Mr. He, who is not in very good physical condition. I was able to take advantage of the grand occasion of this competition to rush to joy. The manager explained. As an employee of the Ho family business. Naturally, you will have some knowledge of your boss's situation.
Ye Xun nodded thoughtfully. After hearing the words of the manager. He knew it right away. Back in early September. Jonas, who was far away in France, sent him a message. It was said that the Ho family invited him to Macau to participate in the King of Gamblers Competition.
Jonas is now evenly matched with the Luchino family in the north. And the dispute over the ownership of the French underworld has also attracted the attention of the world's underworld. So this time the World Gambling Championship was held in Macau. The two figures who were facing the tip of the needle were also invited.
Why do commercial gambling king contests invite underworld figures.
The answer lies in the two organizers. One of them is the well-known Macau gambling king Ho Hongmiao. And there is another one is the Xiang family headed by Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng.
And Ye Xun, the real boss hidden behind the scenes, was not invited. The Nangong family in Shanghai and Han Dinghai of the Qinggang were naturally not invited. The reason for this. Still not qualified enough.
After the manager took Ye Xun and his party outside the room. After saying hello to Ye Xun and the others. And he left alone.
"Not every hotel here. When guests check in, a manager will lead them into their rooms. Murong Rushui said with a smile. This kind of treatment really flattered her, a hotelier.
"It depends on how many managers there are in the hotel. Ye Xun returned. Carrying Murong's slender waist, he entered the room.
It didn't take long. Ye Xun took the second daughter to the playground on the other side. According to that manager. The offices of the Swiss Bank are located on the third floor above.
To Ye Xun's surprise. The so-called Swiss bank office is a steel-like existence. The level of defense is beyond imagination. After going through a series of cumbersome formalities. Ye Xuncai finally got the things that Baimu Caiyun's parents had deposited here. During this period, Ye Xun also showed proof of support for Baimu Caiyun.
What Caiyun's parents left her was a small wooden box. As soon as Ye Xun got it, he handed it over to Baimu Caiyun. He knows. This is the only thought her parents have left her. And all the answers are stored in this little box.
Baimu Caiyun and Murong Rushui didn't know what was in this box. But Ye Xun knew. Inside the small box is a memory card. A memory card that records the secrets of the extinction of the three families.
"Can you show the contents of this box to Brother Ye Xun? "When I got back to the door of the room. Ye Xun suddenly squatted down. said to the hundred eyes Caiyun who hugged the box tightly.
Ye Xun has now become the most trusted person in Baimu Caiyun's heart. So the little girl didn't hesitate at all and handed the small box in her arms to Ye Xun's hand. Then he looked at Ye Xun curiously with wide eyes.
The box is not locked. There is only a simple clasp. After opening the clasp. I saw a memory card in a small plastic bag inside. There is also a folded one. Letters that are not enveloped.
"Take Caiyun in and rest. I'll be back in a moment. Ye Xun said. After taking out the memory card, he handed the box back to Baimu Caiyun.
Murong Rushui nodded. He took the girl's hand and walked into the room. And the hundred eyes of Caiyun seem to understand something. silently followed behind Murong Rushui.
Cloud. You can rest assured. I'll be sure to give you an answer.
......
To be continued. The next chapter is even more exciting.
