Sometimes Xu Haoran hopes that he is a nasty person, a person who makes women hate, so that there will not be so many troubles.

Shi Mengmeng doesn't have a partner yet, is he waiting for himself?

Lu Fei only asked for a child, but he was also refused.

Xia Yu has always been so good to herself, and she is also so good to Xu Duo and Xu Menglin, these are all debts that cannot be repaid, and I don't know when it will end.

At ten o'clock the next morning, Xu Haoran only took Xu Meng and a retinue to visit Xia Shiming at the Xia family's villa.

The Xia family villa is honestly luxurious, but the house price in Beijing is the highest in the country, even if it is the Xia family's financial resources, the mansion owned is not as good as the Xu family castle built by Xu Haoran in Qingyang Town, of course, the value must be very different.

The Xia family's villa is at least dozens or even hundreds of times that of Xu Haoran's villa in Qingyang Town, and Xu Haoran's villa is valuable in Qingyang Town, but it is impossible to sell it, in that small place in Qingyang Town, who can afford it?

The Xia family's villa is different, as long as they are willing to sell, some people are vying for it.

Knowing that Xu Haoran was coming, Xia Yu personally greeted him at the door, and when he saw Xu Haoran, he showed a smile like a flower, so that Xu Haoran couldn't help but feel that Xia Yu was so beautiful.

Her beauty is different from Jin Ling'er, different from Lu Fei, and different from Shi Mengmeng, with a more noble atmosphere, as if the princess is high.

Xia Yu smiled: "Brother Ran, my dad postponed all the trips in the morning and waited for you." ”

Xu Haoran said with a smile: "If President Xia is busy with other things, you can change the time, I don't pay so much attention to my own people." ”

Xia Yu said with a smile: "My dad said that Brother Ran is a punctual person, and so is he, since the agreement is made, naturally it can't be changed casually." Also, what could be more important than a casino license right now?"

Xu Haoran nodded and said, "Yes, the casino license." ”

The deepest obsession in Xu Haoran's heart, the most important basis for building the Xu family's world, no one attaches more importance to the casino license than him.

If you can have a second casino, the status can be as stable as Mount Tai, it is the change of the times, as long as the casino is in hand, you can still sit firmly in the Diaoyutai.

After entering the Xia family's villa and going straight to the living room, Xia Shiming saw Xu Haoran, and hurriedly got up to greet him, instructed the nanny to make tea, and then said with a smile: "A few days ago, a friend gave me tribute tea, which is newly picked this year, and ordinary people can't get it." ”

Xu Haoran said with a smile: "Actually, I don't know about tea, I'm afraid it's going to be ruined." ”

Xia Shiming said with a smile: "Even if it's ruined, only you are qualified to drink this tea, and I'll bring two catties back when I go back." ”

Xu Haoran was not polite, and said with a smile: "Then I will thank President Xia first." ”

After sitting down, Xia Shiming's face became solemn and said, "Haoran, I just received the news that Zhao Tianyi had arrived in Beijing last night. ”

Xu Haoran felt a pang in his heart, the biggest opponent in this auction may be Zhao Tianyi, and immediately said, "Is there any other news?"

Xia Shiming said: "Last night, the people in Beijing gave him a clean sweep, and Zhao Tianyi put down his arrogance at the banquet, saying that he was determined to get this second casino license." ”

Xu Haoran said: "He's really domineering, Da Liang only has two licenses, and he wants both?"

Xia Shiming said: "He is very smart, knowing that if the second license falls into our hands, then his casino and status in Xingyue Island will be affected, so he will definitely find a way to get the license." In addition, the four major families in Beijing are interested in competing for this license. ”

Xu Haoran said curiously: "The four major families in Beijing?"

Xia Shiming said: "The four major families have a long history, although the system changes of our Daliang during the period are still retained, and they monopolize a lot of profitable businesses in Daliang. ”

Xu Haoran said, "For example?"

Xia Shiming said: "The Song family is the leader in the power industry, the Ma family is the boss behind the largest oil company, the Xu family owns the largest natural gas supply company, and the Xiao family is the largest highway contractor, and almost 70 percent of the expressways in Daliang are built by them, and they have signed agreements with the government and have the right to collect tolls for more than 20 years." ”

Xu Haoran's chest shook, it seems that these four major families are all extraordinary in strength and have a strong background. He immediately asked, "Does President Xia have confidence?"

Xia Shiming said: "It's hard to say, it depends on how determined they are. ”

Xu Haoran said: "What if the bidding price exceeds our expectations?"

Xia Shiming said: "There are only a few days to go, and I am afraid that it will not be possible to raise funds temporarily, so I can only hope that their determination is not so great." ”

Xu Haoran felt depressed when he heard Xia Shiming's words, if he pinned his hopes on competitors, it was not Xu Haoran's style, it was too passive.

But there are only a few days before the auction is officially held, and Xia Shiming is right, it is impossible to raise funds again.

After talking to Xia Shiming, Xia Shiming left Xu Haoran to have lunch at Xia's house, and after eating, Xu Haoran left the Xia family's villa, Xia Shiming said before Xu Haoran left that he would continue to pay attention to the outside movement and communicate with Xu Haoran at any time.

Xu Haoran walked out of the Xia family's villa, his brows furrowed, and he was in two different moods compared to when he first came.

Xia Shiming's words were undoubtedly a blow to Xu Haoran, I thought that Zhao Tianyi might be the biggest opponent, but I didn't expect that there were four major families in Beijing, not to mention that other top chaebols in Daliang were also eyeing them.

This auction is undoubtedly a war without gunpowder, and it has not even begun, and it has already shown the momentum of dragon fighting.

The criticality of the casino is self-evident, Xu Haoran is never willing to miss the opportunity, but now, what else can be done?

Back at the hotel where she stayed, Jin Linger saw that Xu Haoran was in a low mood, so she asked Xu Haoran if there was any accident.

Xu Haoran nodded and said, "I talked to President Xia just now, and he leaked a news to me, the four major families in Shangjing are all interested in participating in the competition, and this auction will be even more difficult than we imagined." ”

Jin Ling'er said: "Isn't it enough to prepare 10 billion yuan to buy a license?

Xu Haoran said: "You are right, it is indeed more precious than a gold mine, when the gold mine is emptied, but the income of the casino is endless, for thousands of generations, even if it is ten years to return to the capital, or even twenty or thirty years, I am willing." ”

Jin Ling'er said: "But you were also old at that time." ”

Xu Haoran said with a smile: "What if you are old? My son can inherit, my grandson can also inherit, the impact of this is self-evident, and if you have a casino, you can have a higher right to speak, and the various benefits will not be clear for a while." ”

Jin Ling'er said: "But do you have a way to raise more money?"

Xu Haoran thought about it and shook his head.

He has done his best, almost all the shares have been mortgaged, and Lu Fei has mortgaged the shares of the Lu Group to him, so that he can get the current funds, and if he wants to add more, it is impossible.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Xu Meng suddenly came to report to Xu Haoran: "Brother, Zhao Tianyi is here." ”

When Xu Haoran heard Xu Meng's words, his brows tightened, and he said, "What is he doing here?"

Xu Meng said: "I said that I came to see an old friend, I said that you don't have time, and that guy refuses to leave, do you want me to refuse him again?"

Xu Haoran thought for a while and said, "Go and meet him and see what he says." ”

Xu Haoran and Zhao Tianyi have not met again since the battle with Zhao Tianxiong, and Xu Haoran also wants to meet Zhao Tianyi and see what he has to say.

Xu Meng nodded, and then took Xu Haoran to see Zhao Tianyi.

Zhao Tianyi was waiting for Xu Haoran in a business hall of the hotel, the pomp was quite large, and more than 20 men in suits were guarding outside the business hall, all of whom were the elite of Zhao Tianyi's subordinates, full of energy and high spirits.

Xu Haoran arrived at the business hall, pushed the door in, and saw Zhao Tianyi sitting inside, with an extremely leisurely expression, pouring tea.

Zhao Tianyi saw Xu Haoran, turned around and smiled: "Brother Ran hasn't seen you for a long time, is it an accident?"

Xu Haoran smiled and said: "It's a bit of an accident, how could Brother Yi have such a noble status and come here to see me, a poor boy from the countryside?"

Zhao Tianyi smiled and said, "Is Brother Ran a poor boy from the countryside?" Haha, Brother Ran is too modest. ”
