Not long after Kubar came to power, the Social Service Bureau of St. Nulin's Ventiels, also known as the Social Service Bureau of the Imperial Capital, announced that the urban circle of the Imperial Capital would need to be expanded to a certain extent in order to meet the needs of the residents of the Imperial Capital for living space.

After the expansion of the imperial capital, the countryside became a suburb, and the suburbs became urban circles, and those areas that once belonged outside the ring road became the urban center of the inner ring in a blink of an eye.

Such changes have brought many unexpected changes to the residents of the imperial capital, first of all, the houses they live in have increased in value to varying degrees.

In the past, a house that may have only sold for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan can now be sold for 40,000 or 50,000 yuan.

Selling one's current house to the fringe area to buy it again, or replacing it with the residents there at a premium, has become the most popular practice for ordinary residents in the imperial capital.

The rooms they live in are bigger than before, and the environment in the community is a little better, and while enjoying these better changes, they can also get tens of thousands of yuan to make up the difference, which is full of temptation for many people.

This has also led to the continuous increase in the number of rooms in the Imperial Capital Ring Road, and at the same time, the commercial atmosphere has become stronger and stronger.

As we all know, the imperial capital is a city with a long cultural and historical heritage, and the closer it is to the center of the city, the older the houses become.

In some small countries, such old houses have become a disgrace to the national image, but in the imperial capital, people are more inclined to protect the traces of this history.

Some seemingly inconspicuous houses, or inconspicuous doors, after entering, there is no cave!

On a side street not far from Imperial Boulevard, there are similar operators, whose "shops" are all old houses, with three or four floors, and many of them have yards.

Every house has some unusual and ingenious signs, which not only reflect the strong cultural atmosphere of the street, but also indicate the business they are doing, which also makes the high consumption here a little scary.

But the people who really come here to consume are not really for consumption, and the people who enjoy these do not need to pay for themselves, which also makes some more or less famous places, the price of consumption is like the housing prices in the imperial capital, and they are rising vigorously.

Among them, the consumption grade of "Sipu" is the highest.

Sipu is a comprehensive private place, this kind of place is very popular in the imperial capital, such as the private library where Durin and Dolly met before.

This is also related to the special environment of the imperial capital, which is not only the political, financial, and cultural center of the empire, but also has too many people who pursue fame and fortune here.

In order to meet the demands of these people, these private places with entry barriers have blossomed in the imperial capital.

Even the nouveau riche from the south who are full of copper smell are willing to talk about things in such an elegant environment, and more importantly, this is the habit and custom of the imperial capital!

Sipu also adopts the reservation system and membership system, there is a high entry threshold, it is said that the real boss behind the other person, as long as you enter the door of Sipu, no matter what needs the guests have, the boss will try to meet.

Of course, there are some things that can't be satisfied, and you can't blame the boss for not having this ability, after all, he doesn't specialize in this.

But no matter what, the grade of Sipu is high enough, and the price is high enough.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Du Lin and his party came to the door of Sipu, which was a small three-story building that looked old, and there was a courtyard of about 200 to 300 square meters downstairs.

From the outside, there is only a very ordinary gate, with the two characters "Sipu" written on the side of the gate, and there is also a line of slightly larger standard font that reads "Private Territory".

Standing outside the courtyard, except for the fact that the lights on the upper floors were on, the sound was inaudible at all, and the local president told Durin that if he wanted to book a room in Sipu, he needed to make a reservation at least a week in advance.

As for why it's a week in advance and not a month or two months in advance like some other places, it's purely because the grade here is too high, and not everyone can splurge here.

Inside the door of the cave, there was a counter similar to that of a manager at the entrance of the restaurant, and a man in a small black vest, who looked to be in his fifties, and was very delicately dressed, took the initiative to greet him.

"Good evening, gentlemen, may I ask if you have ......?" he watched in amazement as the legs passed around him without even pausing.

He quickly straightened up and trotted to stop the group of people who were going straight inside, but was poked in the chest by a young man with a small stick only the length of a palm.

The young man put his index finger to his lips and made a booing motion.

This made the butler's welcome face red, it has been more than a year since Sipu was opened, and some people have made trouble here before, but these people have already paid the price.

No matter what those people did to him, he could still stand here, but many of them couldn't stand up anymore.

He looked at the young man in front of him viciously, thinking about how to inform the boss, and at this moment, the young man suddenly punched him in the face, causing him to stagger backwards, his eyes were full of stars, and he only heard a dull voice in his ears, "I don't like your eyes." ”

On the other side, Du Lin led people directly to the second floor, the entire small building has a total of three floors, each floor is an independent space, and there is a suite of more than 100 square meters.

In addition to the room for entertaining, there is a dining room, a bathroom, and two bedrooms. It's a place where everyone can enjoy the best of everything, but also the most uninhibited, and almost whatever they want to do, they can be realistic.

Dover pushed open the door of the room, and the dull bass inside the door exploded like a thunderous roar, and most of the people who were shocked were a little uncomfortable at this moment.

Durin frowned, and saw Merlin, who was sitting on a group of sofas, hugging him left and right, and seven or eight other men and women.

There were many bottles on the coffee table in front of them, some of them were empty, some of them were only half or a small half, and some were soaked in half-filled wine, and the gilded logos on the thumb-thick curls silently told everyone present that they were at least nineteen dollars and ninety-one!

Girls sit among the men with fake collars and one-point pants, some of whom have been featured in some professional modeling magazines.

It's not very far from Shelith Street, and everyone knows that behind Shelith Street is the largest "entertainment market" in the empire, where all kinds of girls are available, and as long as they have enough money, they can find the best girls to serve their customers.

The lights in the room were a little dim, and as Durin and his party entered, the two men sitting on the sofa took the initiative to stand up, one of them was just about to say something, Durin picked up the wine bottle on the coffee table and smashed it, and it shattered on the guy's head with a bang, and he also squatted on the ground with his forehead covered.

His companion looked startled, and just as he was about to do something, a gun was already in his head.

Durin looked at the girls who were shivering because of the cold weather, tilted his head slightly, "Get out of ......", and then sat down next to Merlin when the girls were all gone.

The three merchants who had invited him to spend money were sent into the bedroom inside, and someone was watching them, and Durin only wanted to talk to his brother now.

He grabbed the countertop of the coffee table and flipped it violently, Merlin subconsciously dodged it, and sat back a little embarrassed.

Everything on the table was lifted and flown out, crowded to the point that it could not fit anything, and the table became empty.

He put the countertop back and asked Dover to take a bottle from the wine cabinet, two glasses, he personally got some wine for Merlin, and then put the glasses in the palm of his hand, "Let's have a drink." After speaking, he raised his head and drank the spirits in the cup, which was about fifty milliliters or more.

Merlin was silent for a few seconds, then took a sip of the wine in his glass, and put the cup back on the coffee table with a blushing face.

"You're my older brother, and as a younger brother, there are some things that shouldn't have been said by me, but now it's time for me to say, Merlin, my brother, have you been drunk lately and haven't woken up?"

Durin sat back on the sofa, he exhaled, it seemed that the breath he exhaled was hot, his whole body was hot from the sip of wine just now, he felt that as long as there was a lighter, he could breathe out fire.

Merlin sat quietly, his half-drunk brain had begun to calm down gradually, and he wiped his face with both hands to sober himself up, "I don't understand what you mean." ”

"Family, career, career, family, are you ignoring something?", Durin lit a cigarette, to be honest, he was not good at drinking, this sip of wine inexplicably began to be a little dizzy, he needed to use the cigarette to suppress the strength of the wine.

Merlin pursed his lips, he also leaned back on the couch and looked at Durin, "I don't think I've done anything wrong......"

Du Lin nodded a few times, shook his head again, and the cigarette in his hand was extinguished on the table after only a few puffs, "Recently, the newspapers have said more than once that you have taken some women in and out of various places, and the whole world knows that you have cheated, and you are telling me now...... Nothing?"

In the Empire, the values of the people are still relatively correct, no matter how chaotic a person's private life is before marriage, even if he has slept with a dog, people will not use harsh words to reproach him, because this is his freedom, as long as the other side is a resource, he has not harmed anyone.

But once you enter the state of marriage, such an act is not possible, marriage is sacred, it is done under the gaze of the Lord of Heaven or the gods, it is not just a simple ceremony, but also represents a certain tradition and social recognition.

It is difficult for a person who cheats in a marriage to get a positive evaluation and will lose the trust of the public.

Trust is the most important thing in this honest society, and once trust is lost, it is difficult for anyone to make a difference.

Merlin is clearly playing with fire now, and although the tech development company's public relations department has issued a public statement to cover for Merlin and sued several newspapers and magazines that added fuel to the fire, things have calmed down a bit, but that doesn't mean there's nothing at all.

Once those women break this out again for some reason, it will definitely be a positive blow to Merlin's image, no matter how much money he has, what kind of status he has, people will despise him from the bottom of their hearts.

The reason for despising him is not that he did this, but that he did it and was exposed.

Merlin was silent for a while, and took the initiative to pour himself some wine, "Some things are not ......", he stopped in the middle of speaking, the door of the room was pushed open again, and the boss of Sipu pushed the door with the manager.

When he heard that someone was making trouble in Sipu, his first reaction was that someone wanted to smash Sipu's sign.

In a place with a complex environment like the imperial capital, it took nearly two years to build the Sipu brand, and a lot of money was spent and a lot of favors were spent.

In fact, many laymen think that running such a private place must be able to make a lot of money, after all, even a glass of ice water can be sold for nine glasses a piece, but in fact, only a very small number of people can make money.

In fact, all the real top private occasions are not profitable, not only do they not make money, but they also lose money crazily, and top private places like Sipu have lost four or five million in less than two years.

All private places of the same level are losing money, if one day suddenly profits, the boss will not be happy, only continuous loss of money, can make the boss comfortable every day.

So, what's the point of running a venue like this?

In fact, it makes a lot of sense, because the business has gotten rid of the most ordinary level of profit criteria, that is, it no longer proves whether it is a successful project by how much wealth it makes.

Here, to measure the success of a place and a boss, it depends on how many orders the boss has waived!

Money is a terrible thing, when someone spends tens of thousands here, and suddenly the boss says it's free, no matter what the reason is, the organizer must have a big face, and the participants will also feel that this boss is interesting, and there is some meaning here!

This is good karma!

There are thousands of ways to make money, but there are few ways to make relationships.

So in any case, the brand of Sipu can't be smashed, the boss is very confident when he pushes the door in, and the emperor can't use the gun, but there is absolutely no problem with slashing and killing.

The people waiting outside the door were carrying daggers and long swords, and as soon as he gave the signal, they would rush into the room on the second floor.

If it is possible not to use force, try not to use force, after all, this is the imperial capital, after all, Sipu will have to do business in the future, and it will not sound so good if it is contaminated with fighting and killing.

But when he entered the room and saw clearly the person sitting on the sofa, he was pointed at a dozen guns, and he suddenly realized...... Here's your chance.

His seemingly domineering performance disappeared in an instant, and he walked to the side of the Du Lin sofa group with a smile on his face slightly bent over, and said softly, "I heard that Mr. Du Lin is here, so I rushed over immediately, I am afraid that those subordinates will not be able to entertain you properly, today I am your waiter, if you have anything, tell me directly." ”

I thought there would be a conflict, but I didn't expect this boss to be a human spirit, Du Lin pointed at him, and then pointed to the door, the boss quickly nodded and left, not forgetting to say that he was waiting for orders at the door.

The door to the room slowly closed, and he glanced at the silent knife hand in the courtyard without making a sound, and immediately waved his arm to let them roll.

At the same time, he shouted again, and the sound was so loud that it couldn't even block the soundproof door, "Governor Dolin is exempt from ...... today."
