Chapter 763 Sits on the ground and starts the price
"That's right. This is the address that Lao Song gave us. Zhang Wei replied, "Listening to your tone, it seems that you know this casino?"
Zhong Xun nodded: "I have lived in this neighborhood for a long time before, this casino is very famous here, it has been open for several years, and everyone in this area knows it." ”
"Oh, what else do you know?" Zhang Wei asked, pausing in his tracks.
Although he has been trained to be bold and calm over the years, he really has no bottom in his heart if he wants to redeem people from a casino in a foreign country.
Now that there is suddenly someone around me who knows some inside information, it is natural to seize the opportunity to inquire about the situation, so that there will be a response.
"I don't know much, I just hear from others. The owner of this casino is called Locke, who opened this casino here seven or eight years ago, and has a lot of influence in this area. Zhong Xun suddenly lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of being heard,
"He was very cunning and ruthless, and he had a lot of thugs under him. I have heard that some people went to his casino and gave them a thousand dollars, but they cut off two hands and threw them on the road, and some people owed him a large gambling debt and could not pay it off, and he buried them alive!"
Wu Jin also said: "It turns out that this is Locke's casino. I've heard of Rockne's name when I've been at other casinos before.
I also heard that his casino business is very good, and the treatment he gives to his subordinates is also good, but the methods are a little too cruel.
At that time, I was planning to try my luck at Rockne's casino if I couldn't do it at the old casino. It's just that I met Lao Song later and poached me to be the security director of his company, so I didn't come here.
What I didn't expect was that after going around in circles, I finally came, but in a different way. ”
When Zhang Wei heard him say this, he turned his head to look at him and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Wu Jin said: "I can't talk about it, but as far as I know, Locke's is indeed a ruthless character, and he is brave and ruthless, but I am afraid that it is not easy to deal with." ”
Zhang Wei thought for a while, and then said: "We are bringing money to ransom people, we are doing business with him, we are not afraid that he is ruthless, we are afraid that he will not follow the rules, as long as he talks about the rules." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the iron door and slammed it with his fist.
A moment later, the bars opened, revealing half of a fierce face behind them.
The man looked at Zhang Wei and the three coldly, and then said a word in Cambodian Chinese.
There was no need for a translator, Zhang Wei also knew what the other party was asking, so he replied: "We are here to redeem Lao Song." ”
Zhong Xun relayed Zhang Wei's words to the man behind the iron gate.
After a while, the heavy iron door was opened with a tooth-aching sound.
The two fierce-looking casinos came out, searched carefully, and made sure that the three were not armed, and put the three inside.
As soon as you enter, the heat wave and the noisy human voices mix together to pave the surface, and people immediately feel the difference inside and outside.
Zhang Wei looked at the surrounding environment and found that the interior of the house had been transformed into a casino with an area of several hundred square meters.
The environment of the casino is not very good, the floor is covered with cheap chemical fiber carpets, and the European-style chandeliers with rough workmanship are dazzling. However, there are various gambling equipment such as gambling tables and slot machines, and the waiters in charge of the drinks are also slender and have good faces.
There were a lot of gamblers in the casino, and the atmosphere was warm, but they didn't pay attention to the arrival of Zhang Wei and the others.
The two lookouts took the three of them directly to a room on the west side of the second floor.
A man in his thirties sits behind a desk, his legs crossed on the table.
The so-called relationship is born from the heart, Zhang Wei can see at a glance that this person is not a character to mess with, it should be the boss of this casino, Crowne.
Clonn listened to his subordinates' reports, looked at Zhang Wei and Wu Jin a few times, and then asked in strange and stiff Chinese, "Are you here to redeem that surnamed Tao?"
Zhang Wei was a little surprised, he didn't expect that this casino boss could also speak a few words of Chinese, and he knew that this was the case, so he didn't need to ask a translator.
He nodded and replied, "That's right." ”
"Do you have enough money?"
Zhang Wei opened the bag and let the other party look at it: "260,000 yuan, a lot." ”
Crowne just glanced at it and waved his hand: "This money is not enough." ”
"Not enough?" Zhang Wei was a little surprised, "But just now Lao Song called us and said that he only owes you this amount." ”
Crowne said unhurriedly: "He only owes so much just now, but now that an hour has passed, the money owed is naturally different." ”
Zhang Wei suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, listening to the other party's meaning, obviously wanting to sit on the ground and raise the price.
"And how much do you say?" he asked quickly.
Cloane stretched out five fingers: "Five million, not a penny." ”
"Five million?" Although he knew that the negotiation was headed by Zhang Wei, Wu Jin couldn't help but raise his voice, "I said on the phone just now that it was 260,000, but in the blink of an eye, it has increased by 20 times! Why don't you go and rob the bank!"
Zhang Wei also lowered his face and said in a deep voice: "Even if it is a loan shark, it has not rolled so outrageously. ”
"Who told Lao Song to be worth this price. Crowne tilted his head slightly, looked at Zhang Wei and said, "He's important to you, isn't he?"
Zhang Wei stared at Crowne, trying to see if the other party was tempting, or if he really knew something:
"Lao Song is an old employee of our company, and it is indeed very important to our company, but even if it is important, it is not worth five million so expensive.
It is natural to pay back debts, but it is too much to be too outrageous.
Lao Song is not from Cambodia, we can call the police and say that you have kidnapped foreign tourists, and I believe you don't want to turn this into an international incident, right?"
"Call the police? Do you want me to tell you where the police station is?" Crowne laughed nonchalantly, "Don't think I don't know what kind of business you do, you people don't come to Cambodia for sightseeing, right?"
I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, if I really have to report to the police, my casino may not be closed, but I dare to guarantee that you will definitely become the focus of the Cambodian police, and your trip to Cambodia is only afraid that it will come to an end. ”
Saying this, he paused, and then said, "Of course, if you are really unwilling to pay this money, I will not force it. None of you will want to come out, but at that time, even if you want to redeem someone, I am afraid that it will be too late. ”
Zhang Wei's face finally changed: "Who else wants Lao Song?"
Locke smiled and spread his hands: "I'm sorry, this is a trade secret, no comment." ”
Zhang Wei's expression was very solemn.
Locken said that when he knew the true purpose of their trip, he thought that Lao Song couldn't stand the coercion and revealed their business this time.
Now it seems that it is not, but there is another group of people who are in contact with Rockne, and more importantly, those people know about their business this time!
This problem is very serious, their trip has been kept secret and has not been spread, only a very few people know, how did that group of people know? What is the origin?
