Chapter 150: Usury
Walking into the private room of the hotel, Mu Yuan smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and the whole room was also messed up, a suitcase fell crooked on the wall, and clothes and other items were scattered all over the ground.
In addition to Zheng Bu, there was also a young man in his twenties in the room, if Zheng Bu hadn't said on the phone in advance that this person was his cousin, Mu Yuan would definitely think that he was Zheng Bu's younger brother or something, because this person was really a little thin and young in appearance.
Presumably Zheng Bu's height of one meter eight and his weight of two hundred catties, this person is like a bamboo pole, just over one meter seven in height, and his weight is estimated to be just over one hundred, probably because of his inner torment, a thin face looks sallow, black beard stubble, and his hair is messy like a chicken nest.
"Old man, you're here!" Zheng Bu got up from the chair and hurriedly greeted him, "This is my cousin, Hou Zhen!" ”
"Hello cousin, I'm Mu Yuan, Zheng Bu's classmate!" Mu Yuan greeted politely and borrowed the title directly from Zheng Bu.
"Hello!" Hou Zhen nodded listlessly.
"Cousin, yes, hee-hee, cousin is good!" Long Ling'er squeezed in through the crack in the door and said with a bright face.
"Ahh Hou Zhen was stunned, he didn't expect Mu Yuan to be followed by two beautiful little beauties, he hurriedly jumped off the bed, but his appearance was extremely funny, in addition to being disheveled and unkempt, he was also barefoot, and one of his socks didn't know where to go.
"What cousin!" The crayfish pouted, "It looks so smiling, cousin is about the same!" ”
"Boss, let's talk about it first, what's going on?" Mu Yuan was not in the mood to listen to Long Ling'er and the crayfish's gags, so he asked straight to the point.
"My cousin came here to order this time, and the introducer is an old customer from the past!" Zheng Bu said.
Hou Zhen is from western Jinxi, only one year older than Zheng Bu, his mother and Zheng Bu's mother are sisters, and the two are cousins. Hou Zhen's parents and two brothers have been running a store in the wholesale market since the beginning of the new millennium, mainly engaged in the wholesale clothing business, and after several years of hard work, the scale has become larger and larger. Due to Hou Zhen's poor academic performance, he began to get involved in the family business after failing the college entrance examination two years ago.
This time I came to accompany the capital mainly to inspect the local market situation, and at the same time purchase a batch of clothing samples, because this time is a customer who has cooperated for two years, fundamentally speaking, there is no risk at all, Hou Zhen's parents want to hone him through this matter, so they fought for him in the family for this opportunity.
"How much did you lose?" Makihara asked.
"Altogether...... Lost almost 200,000! Hou Zhen hesitated, but still said it.
"Two hundred thousand? So much? Mu Yuan was stunned, he lost 200,000 yuan in one night, then the stakes were big enough.
"Not once, but four times!" Zheng Bu explained, "In the local mahjong game, my cousin won 50,000 yuan on the first day, but he lost it all in the next two days!" ”
Hou Zhen came to the capital about a week ago, and the old customer led him around the wholesale market a few days ago, during which he introduced a large number of customers, and the business negotiations went very well. In addition, this old customer also took him to enjoy the nightlife of the capital, and in a bar, he met a few friends of this old customer, and then met to play a little mahjong.
"The initial bet is very small, it is ten yuan, and if you lose a lot, it will be hundreds of yuan!" Hou Zhen said, "But the further back you go, the bigger the bet gets, from ten yuan to fifty, and then to one hundred, anyway, I can't remember how I lost later!" Yesterday I fought for a day, and it didn't end until the early hours of this morning, and I lost all the money I brought! ”
"Son, you have to think of a way, if my aunt knows about this, my cousin won't want to stay at home in the future!" Zheng Bu said worriedly.
"Did you play in one place all these times?" Makihara asked.
"It's not!" Hou Zhen shook his head, "The first two times I played small, I played in the teahouse on the street, and the last few times I played a little big, it was a place that the other party was looking for, like one of them's home!" ”
"Is there any special arrangement in that room?" Makihara asked, "For example, reflective mirrors, cameras, and the like!" ”
Hou Zhen thought about it carefully, and then shook his head.
"Old man, do you suspect that they are out of the thousands?" Zheng Bu asked.
"It must be out of a thousand!" Long Ling'er interjected and said, "This is a typical trick in the rivers and lakes, the routine is the same as the thousands of rivers and lakes, but the thousands of doors are often engaged in big business, and these people are estimated to be just small fish and shrimp that do not enter the stream!" ”
"A thousand doors? The kind that is said in movies and novels? Zheng Bu asked.
"Yes, yes!" Long Ling'er nodded.
"Wait!" Hou Zhen suddenly stopped the discussion of several people, he hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said: "I seem to think of something!" ”
Several people stopped, staring at Hou Zhen, waiting for his explanation.
After thinking about it carefully, Hou Zhen spoke: "In the middle, I went to the toilet in a hurry, I lost a little too much at that time, and I played for too long, my head was a little dizzy, and I wandered around the room for a long time before I found the toilet." But I accidentally pushed open a door, and the room was very small, and it seemed to have some incense in it, because I smelled a strong smell of incense wax paper money! ”
"What's on the table?" Long Ling'er was originally lazily leaning on the sofa and playing with her braids, but when she heard this, she suddenly stood up from the sofa.
Hou Zhen thought about it again, but shook his head and said, "I didn't see it clearly, the light in the house was a little dim, I pushed open the door and glanced at it, and turned around and left when I saw that it wasn't the toilet!" ”
"Think again!" Long Ling'er guided, "Have you seen anything like the golden light!" ”
"Oh, yes, yes!" Hou Zhen nodded, "Although I didn't see the desk, the light reflected on the wall was indeed golden, and I thought there was something wrong with the light of the candles!" ”
"What do you think of?" Makihara asked curiously.
"Brother Muyuan, let's ask them to gamble again!" Long Ling'er diverted the topic, but there was brilliance in her smart eyes, "This time, we can not only get back all the money we lost, but maybe we can win a lot more!" ”
"Yes, yes!" The crayfish agreed, saying, "I'm worried that I don't have money to spend, and besides, I still need costumes and props to participate in the competition!" ”
Mu Yuan thought for a while, and suddenly understood, he looked at Long Ling'er and asked, "You mean ......?"
"Hmm!" Long Ling'er nodded, "I can't rule out that they are out of thousands, but there must be something wrong with that room!" ”
"What the hell are you talking about, old man?" Zheng Bu asked with a confused face, "If you come out of the old man, you will come out of the old man, why do you have anything to do with what room!" ”
"Boss, you don't have to ask, let my cousin call over there today, just say that money is being raised here, and I want to flip through the book!" Makihara said, "Let's set a time over there and prepare to fight again!" ”
"That's no problem, those people will definitely not refuse the money sent to the door!" Zheng Bu nodded, "But it also costs money to turn over the book, where can we get so much money?" ”
"Money is easy to handle!" Long Ling'er said with a grin, but her eyes looked at the crayfish.
"I don't have any money!" The crayfish was about to cry, she stood up, and the thought of running away was gone.
"You don't, your dad does!" Long Ling'er said with a grin.
"My dad doesn't have it, he lets my mom take care of it, and my mom is a miser, she can't get a penny out!" The crayfish cried and said, even the ugliness of the house broke out.
"Let's just say that you need team operating expenses to participate in the competition, your family is so rich, if you want one or two hundred thousand, your mother will always give it!"
"The operating fee is the operating fee, and it can't be used as a gambling book, what if you lose?" The crayfish said worriedly.
"Don't worry, you can't lose, if you lose, I'll pay it back!" Long Ling'er said confidently, "If you win, we will pay you back with interest!" ”
"With interest?" The crayfish hesitated for a moment and asked in a daze, "How much is the interest?" ”
"Borrow 10,000 to repay 20,000, borrow 20,000 to repay 40,000!" Zheng Bu said generously.
"No, if you win, you will double it, and if you lose, I will also receive fifty percent of the interest!" The crayfish crossed the waist of the little man, and the posture of a chartered woman.
"Okay!" Long Ling'er nodded.
"Okay, I'll ask for it!" The crayfish nodded and said to herself, "I'll advance some dowry money with my mother in advance!" ”
"This ruined boy!" Mu Yuan thought in his heart, "Just thinking about the usury is a million profits, but I don't want to think about how big the risk is!" "of
"Cousin Zheng Bu, it seems that you are the ones who do big business!" Hou Zhen said with a dejected face.
