Licha Hotel, a foreign-funded hotel located on the Huangpu River, is also a well-known high-end hotel in Shanghai. The items operated by the hotel are similar to many restaurants in later generations, and the restaurants can provide food, drink and entertainment, and ordinary people do not even dare to come to this hotel to consume.

Most of the people who dare to enter the hotel to stay or entertain are well-known in Shanghai, and the simple point is that they must have money in their pockets. A one-night meal in such a restaurant is enough for ordinary people's homes for several months or even a year.

Although Hu Biao is a Chinese face, the hotel is located in Shanghai, and it is naturally impossible not to accept Chinese. The most important thing is that Hu Biao's fluent foreign language makes him feel like a fish in water in the hotel, and has attracted the attention of many women in the hotel.

Compared with other women who laugh and please in Shiliyangchang, most of the women in the hotel have quite a lot of money. Some of them even speak foreign languages, so they can talk to foreigners who come to the hotel to spend money, and eventually get enough money out of these foreigners' pockets.

Looking at the mature men and green women immersed in the light song and dance, Hu Biao also felt that the atmosphere of the hotel dance hall made people feel a little ambiguous. Fortunately, on such an occasion, Hu Biao had experienced a lot in his previous life, and he could sit at the bar and drink slowly very calmly.

In the face of those women who came to talk, Hu Biao would occasionally chat a few words, and then ask the bartender to pour a glass of red wine for the other party. As for the real meat drama, Hu Biao still has little interest. Although these women are all good, it is still difficult to impress Hu Biao.

Hu Biao, who has no psychological needs for the time being, can clearly feel that he seems to have some urgent needs physiologically after coming to the dance hall. often fights behind enemy lines, even if Hu Biao is very calm, but the pressure in his heart is still not small.

People who come to this kind of place, in addition to consumption, are more to satisfy vanity or hunt for beauty. But the women who can really make Hu Biao feel good, there don't seem to be a few in this dance hall, and many women Hu Biao can't look down on.

Compared with those women who are around the guests to do business, Hu Biao feels that those women who come to the restaurant to consume and entertain can arouse Hu Biao's interest more. It's just that Hu Biao also knows that the dance hall of this hotel is not as peaceful as he imagined.

In this kind of hotel, which is a mixture of snakes and dragons, it is also a place for intelligence agencies of various countries to inquire and collect information. With Hu Biao's current identity, it is indeed inconvenient to contact too many outsiders. If one is not good, it is very likely to be targeted by the people of the Japanese army's special high class.

The most important thing is that Hu Biao knows very well that the Japanese army's special high school is the best at playing this set of beauty temptations. Who dares to guarantee that these dignified and beautiful women are not informants bought by the special high class? For the sake of money, these women will do anything.

While Hu Biao was waiting for Brooke to arrive, he was also paying attention to the situation in the boxes next to the ballroom. Compared with the hall of the dance hall, those boxes are of a higher grade, and people who come to the dance hall to consume will not easily go to the box for entertainment.

If you really want to find a target, they are more willing to take people away, and there are really not many high-rollers who are really willing to spend money to book a room in a hotel. Most of the guests who choose the private room bring their own friends or use it to talk about things that are inconvenient for others to know.

Fortunately, Brooke came quite quickly, and he has been very low-key recently, even if there is an uncle who is a military attaché, Brooke also knows that Shanghai is not peaceful now. With the dominance of the Japanese army in Shanghai, these foreigners in the concession also kept a low profile.

"Hey, brother, why are you alone? There are so many girls, don't you admire? ”

"It's coming pretty fast! Looks like you've made up your mind to kill me tonight? ”

"Of course! It's rare for you to come back, I need to drink a little more to make up for my hard work during this time! ”

Calling the bartender in the ballroom, Brooke unceremoniously ordered a bottle of high-end red wine. Although the liquor is also good, Brooke, who has drunk with Hu Biao, knows very well that if he really drinks liquor, he is not Hu Biao's opponent at all.

On top of that, there aren't many high-end liquors available in the ballroom. Most of the people who actually come to the dance hall to drink prefer to drink red wine. For the Chinese people of this era, it is also commonplace to worship foreigners.

Brooke, who poured the ordered red wine into the decanter and poured a glass for Hu Biao, quickly said, "How long are you going to stay this time?" ”

"I'm here for a drink tonight! Let's go to my apartment tomorrow! I haven't been back for so long, how about telling me some interesting facts about the concession? In addition, after drinking these wines, do you plan to go back to rest, or do you book a room here? ”

Faced with Hu Biao's inquiry, Brooke thought for a while and said, "Let's go back and rest!" I'd love to give you a little extra money for the evenings, but who calls us friends! If you don't invite guests, I don't dare to come here often! ”

After chatting casually, Hu Biao also learned more about the concession from Brooke's mouth. Referring to the case of the ransacking of Zhengjin Bank a few months ago, Brooke also said excitedly: "Those people are really amazing!" ”

Since the case occurred on Yanghang Street, the alert level of Yanghang Street is now much higher than before. But Hu Biao was more interested in Zhengjin Bank, which was not bankrupt, and the little devil quickly rebuilt it.

The Japanese army's claim to the outside world was that the manager of the bank, together with outsiders, had stolen money from the bank's vault. It's just that there is not much money stolen, and Zhengjin Bank can also ensure the safety of depositors' funds.

In fact, many customers who rent safes at banks know that their stored valuables have been lost. For the Japanese army, customers who can shirk will be ignored directly, and customers who dare not offend will be compensated accordingly.

The problem is that most of the depositors of the Zhengjin Bank in the concession area are rich gentry and celebrities who have taken refuge in them. These people themselves have the meaning of colluding with the Japanese army by depositing things in the Zhengjin Bank. As a result, the bank will also be ransacked.

As for the so-called compensation of the bank, in the eyes of these depositors, compared with the value of their lost valuables, the amount of compensation for the little devil is undoubtedly pitiful. It's a pity that few people dare to express dissatisfaction and opposition to the compensation provided by the bank.

Although the little devil lost a lot of money, the credibility of Zhengjin Bank was lost. Even those traitors and traitors who relied on the Japanese army did not dare to deposit their ill-gotten gains privately in Zhengjin Bank at the moment.

Zhengjin Bank, which originally had many depositors on Yanghang Street, also suffered heavy losses this time. Brooke understands the situation at all, and today's Zhengjin Bank is just an empty shell, and if he wants to restore his previous status, he is afraid that it is not very possible.

The other foreign banks were interested in the thieves who ransacked the banks, but they were happy to see the little devils deflated. On the other hand, Hu Biao, who listened to what Brooke said, seemed calm, did not answer too much, and only acted as the best listener.

As the two drank a bottle of red wine, the ballroom lights became dim and dim. To Hu Biao's surprise, there seemed to be more women wandering in the dance hall. Even, there are many White Russian girls with hot bodies who also appear in the dance hall.

Looking at Hu Biao's somewhat surprised expression, Brooke smiled and said, "Hu, is there a girl you like?" As far as I know, these girls are amazing. These girls cost more than the previous women! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, these girls are all from White Russia, right?"

"That's right! What do you think? Interested? If you don't start again, the good girls will be picked out! ”

"Didn't you say go back to the concession to rest?"

"If you are interested, I can also accompany you to stay at the hotel for one night. Of course, you'll have to pay for the room! ”

"You miser! Looks like you're really going to kill me tonight! ”

After laughing, Brooke clapped his hands at the group of girls who were wandering the ballroom, and soon several girls came over. There are beautiful girls who seem to have been married, and there are young girls who should not be married yet.

For these Belarusian women who come to the hotel to solicit customers, they are qualified to come to the Licha Hotel, which in itself shows that their conditions are excellent. White Russian women with average appearance and figure, the hotel will not let them in easily.

After all, there are many Belarusian women who are engaged in this kind of work in Shanghai, and their appearance and quality are fundamentally different, and they go in and out of various occasions. On the side of the Licha Hotel, most of them are some foreigner compradors or rich businessmen in China.

They are better than the others, and the corresponding fees are undoubtedly higher. For some Belarusian women from difficult families, they prefer to find a rich man to marry through this kind of transaction, or simply let the other party pay for their wallets.

This situation is also common in Shanghai. For the Belarusians living in Shanghai, they do a wide variety of jobs. Compared with the Jewish refugees, these Belarusian Russians who came to Shanghai had a more difficult life.

In order to survive, it is also common to sell dignity in exchange for income. For Brooke, at least, he seems to have gotten used to it. But for Hu Biao, he found an opportunity in it.

It's just that Hu Biao feels that this opportunity should be a double-edged sword, and if he doesn't do it well, he may even hurt himself. Just as Brooke was openly negotiating the price with the women, a white Russian girl who looked hesitant caught Hu Biao's attention.

Compared with the girls next to her, who took the initiative to show their charm, this girl always pinched the corners of her skirt. And the girl next to her also said directly: "Nina, don't be afraid. If you keep doing this, you won't make any money! ”

In this kind of restaurant, it is still relatively rare to force girls. Brooke, who has benefited a lot from these girls, seems to have seen this girl who always bows her head and has a very good posture and figure.

Said very directly: "Girl, can you tell me your price?" ”

"Three hundred!"

"What? Girl, you're right, right? Three hundred, yen? ”

"It's not! Ocean! ”

"Three hundred oceans, do you know how much it is?"

Even the White Russian woman in the Licha Hotel charged a more expensive price. But most of the general market is between 30 and 50 oceans. If they stay overnight in a hotel, these women will also receive a commission on the room rate.

In general, doing this kind of thing seems to sell dignity and flesh, but the income is really expensive. Compared with ordinary people in Shanghai, the income of these women in one night is enough for many people to earn hard for several months or even a year!
