As he spoke, Xu Haoran saw Lu Mingtao walking out with two bodyguards, because he knew that Lu Mingtao's attitude towards him was not friendly before, so Xu Haoran didn't plan to greet Lu Mingtao, and immediately said to Lu Fei: "I'll go around other places." ”

Lu Fei nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Xu Haoran immediately walked away, Lu Mingtao came out with two bodyguards to meet Lu Fei, glanced at Xu Haoran's back, and said, "Who was that just now?"

Lu Fei said: "I don't know, I came up to talk." ”

Lu Mingtao glanced at Lu Fei suspiciously, and then said, "Let's go." ”

Lu Mingtao didn't want to make a show when he came to Xu Haoran's villa, so he didn't drive his own car, but just drove a company's business car casually, and went back to the same car with Lu Fei.

The car drove out of the gate of Xu Haoran Villa, and Lu Mingtao said: "This villa feels pretty good, I heard that it has been very popular recently." ”

Lu Fei said: "Dad, why do you pay attention to this kind of place? Haven't you always been very repulsive before?"

Lu Mingtao said: "The hotel in Xingyue Island has been doing badly, and the year-end summary has a lot of losses, and I wonder if it is the wrong way." ”

Lu Fei said: "Xingyue Island has great potential and great competition, and it is still difficult for ordinary people to enter that market. In particular, casino-linked or casino-operated hotels dominate the city, and it's hard for other hotels to get a piece of the pie. ”

Lu Mingtao sighed and said, "Yes, that's why I discussed with your second uncle and younger uncle and planned to compete for a regular license." ”

Lu Fei said: "Everyone is jealous of the license, and it is not easy to get it. ”

Lu Mingtao suddenly changed the topic and said, "Xu Haoran's villa is very good, and it is impressive." ”

Lu Fei didn't know what Lu Mingtao meant, and said, "I haven't been in touch with him for a long time, so I don't know the situation." ”

Lu Mingtao said: "Is it? Is that young man Xu Haoran just now?"

Lu Fei glanced at Lu Mingtao and knew that he couldn't hide his eyes, so he had to admit: "Well, he is Xu Haoran." ”

Lu Mingtao said: "It looks pretty good. ”

Lu Fei said, "It seems?"

Lu Mingtao said: "It looks more calm than ordinary people, I have always been curious before, how can a gangster from the countryside rise so quickly, I took a look at it today, and I feel that there are indeed two brushes." ”

Lu Fei heard Lu Mingtao praise Xu Haoran, and was a little happy in his heart, and said: "He is indeed different from ordinary people, saying that he is calm and rational, often sometimes he is very impulsive and does things recklessly, saying that he is impulsive, but sometimes he does things calmly and calmly, and he does not leak." ”

Lu Mingtao smiled: "You evaluate him like this, is it interesting for him?"

Lu Fei came to his senses and hurriedly said, "No, I'm just talking about things." I broke up with him a long time ago, there is no possibility. ”

Lu Mingtao's gaze became deeper.

Xingyue Island's market has not been opened, resulting in a lot of losses, he seriously summarized the reason, not that the hardware facilities of the Rice Hotel are not standard enough, nor is the publicity not in place, the service is not good enough, but because Xingyue Island masters the casino is really the biggest source of customers, as long as you have a casino, with the natural advantages of the casino, even if the hotel is a little worse, you don't have to worry about no guests.

On the contrary, without casino resources, even if you do well, you will not be able to compete with your opponents because of congenital deficiencies.

A legal casino is simply the dream of all careerists, Xu Haoran is like this, and so is Lu Mingtao.

……

That night, Lu Mingtao quietly descended on Xu Haoran's villa, but although he met him, he didn't even say hello.

Xu Haoran never figured out Lu Mingtao's true purpose, why did he come to the villa, and what his intentions were?

But in fact, Lu Mingtao's visit to Xu Haoran's villa this time was not a sudden idea, but because of the failure of the hotel on Xingyue Island, he began to try to find a way to solve it.

If the market of Xingyue Island cannot be opened, the development of the group will come to a standstill, and if it continues like this for a long time, it may even regress.

When he arrived at Xu Haoran's villa, although Lu Mingtao was playing on the surface, he had been paying attention to observing, especially the reactions of the guests.

He had the feeling that gambling could really make people so obsessed.

He also noticed Xu Haoran's release of the horse, in just a few hours, several people went to borrow money, and then came to gamble, and those who won paid off immediately, but those who lost had to bear a high interest rate of five percent per day, and they only made money so fast.

Before coming to Xu Haoran's villa, he first went to Mad Dog's club, but Mad Dog's club and Xu Haoran's villa have shown two different development trends, Mad Dog's club has been hit before, so it is more inclined to entertainment, and there are only a handful of guests in the gambling hall, which is deserted, but other projects are more lively.

Mad Dog is also actively trying to find a way to solve this problem, but in fact, the impact is too great, and it is not a day or two to reverse it.

……

Lu Mingtao's arrival only brought a small wave to Xu Haoran's life, and he never went to Xu Haoran's villa for a few days after that.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and Xu Haoran was invited by Jin Ye to go to the Jin family's mansion to have a dinner with other five tigers and other big brother-level figures.

Jin Ye took the lead in summarizing the situation in the past year, saying that the biggest loss in the past year was Xu Jianlin's sudden departure, and at the same time, there was also a gain, that is, Xu Haoran's performance was outstanding.

Xiaohua said with a smile: "Although Haoran only joined this year, the achievements are obvious to all, and he will definitely be able to fight for us in the future." ”

Xu Haoran heard too many such compliments, and began to feel faintly uneasy, too much praise may cause more unnecessary trouble for himself. He immediately said a few words of modesty.

Jin Ye immediately said: "Haoran's performance is outstanding, don't be modest. After speaking, he continued: "In the past year, the butterfly's movements have gradually become obvious, it seems that she is a little dissatisfied with the status quo and wants to change something, so we are likely to face unprecedented challenges next, and we must not be complacent and take it lightly." ”

Chen Tai said: "Although the butterfly is a woman, she still has wrists, and there are many people under her command, especially the army, mad dogs, and crows, all of whom should not be underestimated. ”

Jin Ye looked at Xu Haoran and said, "Haoran, the butterfly has already set its sights on you, and your pressure may be the greatest in the future." ”

Xu Haoran said: "I know Jin Ye, I will deal with it carefully." ”

Gao Xiong smiled: "Don't worry about Haoran's ability, a mad dog is definitely not his opponent." ”

Everyone else agreed.

After making a year-end summary, Jin Ye smiled and said with a smile: "It's almost the New Year, don't talk about things outside, come, drink, and wish everyone a happy New Year." ”

"Master Jin, we respect you and wish you a happy new year. ”

Xu Haoran raised his glass and said.

Others also sent their blessings, and the atmosphere of the evening was very harmonious and joyful.

Jin Cheng asked Xu Haoran to drink a few glasses of wine alone, Xu Haoran talked to Jin Cheng with a smile, and said some flattering words against his will, but in fact, the last time Wynn Talker was running, Jin Cheng's support for the tyrannosaurus was always a thorn in Xu Haoran's heart, and it has not been completely eliminated.

Xu Haoran felt that Jincheng cast a tyrannosaurus, which was not as simple as he said, perhaps because he was afraid that he would climb too fast and threaten Jincheng, so he wanted to limit himself.

Maybe it's because Jin Ye is too good to himself, which makes Jin Cheng jealous.

All in all, in a peaceful atmosphere, Xu Haoran smelled the hidden waves.

Both externally and internally.

After the banquet was dismissed, Jin Linger personally sent Xu Haoran off, and asked Xu Haoran as she walked: "Brother Ran, do you want to go back to your hometown for the New Year?"

Xu Haoran nodded and said, "Yes, the old people in the family have told me that I must go back for the New Year." I've been out all year long, and I should go back for a few days. ”

Jin Linger said: "The Chinese New Year in the countryside is more atmospheric than in the city, and I really want to feel it." ”

Xu Haoran said: "It's okay, you can go back with me for the New Year." ”

Jin Linger said: "Forget it, my dad can't agree, and he is quite lonely for the New Year alone." ”

Xu Haoran said: "You can call Jin Ye together." ”

Jin Ling'er said: "Forget it, it's impossible." It's the first day of the new year, and I can come to you to play. ”

Xu Haoran smiled: "Welcome, you can call me first." ”
