Chapter 49: The Royal Mansion

Lin Han asked, "That college classmate of yours who is related to Li Zhongping leaked it to you?" Wang Yunming nodded. Lin Han said: "What do these things have to do with the gambling money you want tonight?" You have to take me with you. Wang Yunming said: "There are too many black-box operations in things now, and these two online stores to be assessed have already been set up as far as I know; There is only one place left, and many of our colleagues in this city also know the news, and they are all operating in the Eight Immortals across the sea to show their abilities, and of course I can't be resigned. Fortunately, my classmate was well-informed, and he told me that the head of the assessment team had no other hobbies, but he was very fond of gambling, and he just got off the plane tonight and just had a light meal with them, and went straight to an underground private casino in the Royal Mansion to play. ”

Lin Han said: "Your classmates know so much? Wang Yunming looked at Lin Han and sighed: "Let's tell you the truth, my classmate has a very good personal relationship with this assessment leader, and the place where he came to gamble today is also my classmate through the relationship of a friend in the society, and even the room is arranged, he told me that what I need to do is to enter this room and gamble with this assessment leader, don't say anything else, as long as you are familiar with the face, and at the same time deliberately lose a considerable amount of money to this person." Tomorrow night, my classmates will bring me to have a private appointment with this head, and during the dinner, I only need to briefly introduce which online store company I am, and it is basically done. ”

Lin Han suddenly realized: "Dude, you are walking a curve to save the country, but how can you guarantee that you will definitely be able to enter the room where the person gambles?" Wang Yunming said: "The arrangement entrusted by my classmate is very capable, and he can handle it with the person who enters the casino with the head of the assessment." Lin Han said: "I don't understand, I didn't hear what happened to me here." ”

Wang Yunming said: "This is still the stinky rule of arranging into the casino, I contacted him just now, and he said that everything has been arranged, but there is a condition when you go in, and it must be implemented." Lin Han asked, "What conditions?" Wang Yunming said: "It must be two people going together, and no one is allowed." And there is no age or gender, as long as you are an individual, bring an ID card. Lin Han said, "Why? Wang Yunming spread his hands and said: "I also asked like this, he said that there is no reason, love does not come." ”

Lin Han rubbed his hands and said, "Big brother, I always feel that this matter is a bit suspenseful and unreliable." Wang Yunming said: "I thought the same as you at the beginning. However, I consulted my classmates and he told me to do it without any problems. This underground casino is said to be covered by big people, and there are no less than 1,000 people in the middle of the night, and these people are either rich or rich, you know. Seeing Lin Han's silence, he said: "My brother is also forced to have no choice, this is not a wealth and danger, you know that I don't gamble, but if I don't take this step, I want to get the support of the head office." When the time comes, it will become a second-rate small company, and the market prospect will not be at all, so you can only follow the two big companies to drink some leftover soup, and talk about making it bigger and stronger. ”

Lin Han thought for a moment and asked, "What can I do when I go in?" Wang Yunming said happily: "You can eat when you want to go in, drink when you want, you can watch the excitement and watch the beautiful women with you, you definitely don't need to gamble, and you don't have to follow me into that room." ”

Lin Han squinted his eyes and said, "It's that simple? Wang Yunming patted his chest and said, "It's as simple as that!" My brother, who is my brother, it's been a few years, don't you know, you think I'm willing to come to such a big scene to gamble money. Today I don't hide anything from you, how much I tell the truth, I definitely don't want to bring people in the company, and only the brother is the most suitable person, and the person who is still steady. ”

Lin Han waved his hand and said: "Big brother, don't say it, don't give anyone a high hat, I was forced to be helpless to hear you say this, it's really difficult to do something." Now that I'm here, I'll go with you. Wang Yunming was overjoyed and said: "I knew that I wouldn't find fault with you, and after the matter was completed, my brother would like to thank you." Lin Han got out of the carriage with him, turned around and said, "Pull it down, big brother." Now in this role arrangement, I am a soy sauce maker, and you are a drinker. Wang Yunming smiled, pulled him up and walked side by side to the east of the parking lot.

The Royal Mansion is actually the product of a large construction project and a failed land speculation at a high price. A few years ago, the city government reached an agreement with a development company from the south to sell the land to the other party at a relatively low price, on the condition that the company would build luxury residences based on the royal mansion, supplemented by the construction of high-end office buildings, large shopping malls, supermarkets, catering and entertainment facilities in the surrounding area, and finally the government will fund the construction of schools, hospitals and 10,000-person squares and other supporting facilities, so as to build this place into a large economic belt with a rapid concentration of population in the urban-rural area. Correspondingly, the government will charge a management fee for many of the commercial facilities here for a period of 20 years.

If this company in the south does not play tricks, this deal can still be a win-win situation. But the original intention of this company was not to help others make wedding dresses. After many businesses knew that it would eventually become a new government-led economic zone, the price of land began to soar. Many people sighed with admiration and regretted that they had not invested here much earlier. The developer also started to think about it, but according to the agreement, of course, it did not dare to continue to resell the land to others, in which case the government had the right to repossess the land at any time. So he turned to a trick to steal the beams and change the pillars: mortgage the land and borrow from the bank.

Through various operations, the final result is that the developer bought the land at a very low price, and at a very high market price, with the existing market value of the land, a large number of bank loans. At the same time, this benchmark building, the Royal Mansion, can't be built? Well, build slowly, drag slowly. By the time everyone realized that the situation was not good, the company had quietly transferred a large amount of money, and people up and down the building were empty overnight, leaving this royal unfinished building.

Later city leaders had a headache about the project of the Royal Mansion, and could not think of a perfect solution to the problem. Continue to bid for the society, the threshold is too high, first of all, a large number of arrears of bank loans have to be repaid by the new developer, which is like marrying a daughter-in-law who has not yet entered the cave house, and the new daughter-in-law already has a baby in her belly. Take it from the local finance, how should this account be placed? Once something goes wrong in the future, who will dare to take this responsibility?

The real building of the Royal Mansion is only three small rows of villas, each row has about seven or eight houses, and the high-rise buildings in the later period are only barely two high-rise buildings, and they have not yet reached the top. There is nothing left for the rest. As far as the eye can see, the surrounding areas of bare villas and high-rise buildings are empty and overgrown with weeds. At night, the mountain wind is gusting, inaccessible and lifeless. It shows that there is something eerie and terrifying here.

To the east of the simple parking lot, under the abandoned high-rise buildings, there is a faint light. Before approaching, Lin Han found that this was the entrance to the underground parking lot. The two lights turned out to be common emergency lights in the corridors. Wang Yunming took out the phone and dialed a number, and said softly: "Brother Jiang, hello." Yes, yes, I'm at the door. Soon after he hung up the phone, the roller shutter door at the entrance slowly rose, and two tall and mighty men appeared inside, waving to the two of them.

Lin Han and Wang Yunming walked in together, and the door behind them "creaked" to whereabouts, and a big man in black said in a rough voice: "Keep going down, someone will receive you." After saying that, he stood still and did not move. The two looked at each other for a moment, and slowly walked down the spiral downhill path. The lighting on both sides is getting better and better, and the entrance is a dim emergency light, and when it is almost on the first floor, it is replaced by a very bright incandescent lamp; This parking lot is really big, and when you go to the second floor, there is a jeweled chandelier every other way overhead. And the shape of each lamp is different, some are graceful and luxurious, some are magnificent, and it seems that the price is absolutely expensive. A few more steps, my feet were soft, and I had already stepped on a thick wool carpet, a pure wool carpet of apricot yellow and crimson that overlapped and gave a surprisingly warm feeling, winding its way into the depths where there was no end in sight.

At last we came to another gate, this time not of iron, but of wood. The two precious mahogany doors were solemn and elegant, and there was no black-clothed man guarding the door this time. Before Lin Han and Wang Yunming could exchange opinions with each other, the mahogany door slowly opened automatically, and it seemed that there should be an automatic mechanism behind the door.

When this door opens, the decoration that catches your eye is a bit dazzling. The carpet is still there, of course, but it has turned into a very conspicuous scarlet color and is spotless. There are no walls on either side, but instead there are colorful dark blue and local tyrant gold curtain lamp walls, each occupying a wall, either noble and elegant, or dazzling. Imitation European-style ceiling, ingenious carving on a lot of ancient Greek mythological characters, or standing or lying, under the dazzling lights of the streamers, every few steps seem to have passed through 10,000 years of time, to the ancient times of chaos and killing, and each protagonist bathed in the baptism of the gods.

Lin Han felt that the decoration here was so beautiful, if Wang Yunming hadn't explained it in advance, who would have believed that this palace-like building could be a casino, and it was deep underground. Wang Yunming was also fascinated, and whispered on Lin Han's shoulder and said, "This is an eye-opener." Lin Han nodded and motioned for him to continue walking. At the end of the corridor, a delicate small staircase appeared, and the door of a room next to the staircase opened silently, and a young man in a white dress appeared, with a humble expression and peaceful eyes. Stood there quietly, waiting for the two to slowly approach.
