Chapter 650: Charged
If you want to find a place you want to go in an unfamiliar place, it is difficult to find the place you are looking for just by walking on your own and constantly looking at the shop signs on the street. Especially in a big, three-dimensional city. Now Jiang Feng is in this situation, he wants to find a bookstore, and it is quite difficult.
If you have a mouth under your nose and you can't find it, you can ask someone, which is the best way. Jiang Feng asked someone and got an answer.
"Are you looking for a bookstore, a brick-and-mortar bookstore? I'll help you check, it seems that there are really no bookstores around here. Thought passers-by said.
Passers-by turned on their portable devices, opened the map, and began to search the bookstore. The search results came out, but Jiang Feng was very disappointed, because only two bookstores were searched, and they were still far away from Jiang Feng.
"It's farther away, you can make a note of the place. There's nothing to see in this bookstore, what books are you looking for, go online, the bookstore is full of old books. Passers-by said.
Jiang Feng thanked the passers-by and continued to move forward. He now understands that the paper books in this place should have been withdrawn from the market a long time ago. People here don't need paper books anymore. Jiang Feng wanted to find a bookstore, but it was really not easy. He had to give up the bookstore and buy the equipment for his daily use.
There are a lot of shopping malls, there are many different portable devices, just like the mobile phones on the earth in the past, there are many models. If it's an ordinary device, it's all very ordinary here, and everyone has it. The better ones are not too expensive. Jiang Feng has a Yuan Qi Stone on his body, so he can naturally afford it.
This place, in addition to the Genki Stone, also has money here. Vitality stones are naturally the best, and the shopping mall likes to collect vitality stones the most. As soon as he heard Jiang Feng say that he wanted to pay the bill with Yuan Qi Stone, he also deliberately gave Jiang Feng a discount, looking like he was afraid that Jiang Feng would regret it.
Jiang Feng not only paid with the Yuan Qi Stone, but also exchanged the Yuan Qi Stone with the store for a little money. The store was very happy. After Jiang Feng bought something, he left, found a tea house nearby, ordered something to eat and drink, and sat down to be killed or injured.
When you buy a device, you naturally do a good job of surfing the Internet. The management here is not strict, and people like Jiang Feng who have just arrived here can also enter the network. After paying some fees, you can naturally access the Internet and use a variety of commonly used software.
It takes a lot of time to look up information and browse information. This café is also closed at night, so as long as you spend money, you can stay here forever. Jiang Feng surfed the Internet here, and it wasn't until the evening of the next day that Jiang Feng left here and went out to find a place to live.
After all, you are not here for tourism, and it is impossible to determine how long you will stay in this city. If you stay for a long time, just find a cheaper hotel to stay in. But now, it's not appropriate. Jiang Feng had to find a house to live in. Before looking for a house, Jiang Feng still had to live in a hotel, after all, a house could not be found in a day or two.
I found a hotel to stay in and had a meal at the hotel restaurant in the evening. After returning to the room, Jiang Feng continued to look up information on the Internet. Originally, he wanted to watch TV, but unfortunately, there was a TV in the room, but there was no program.
Two days later, Jiang Feng found a suitable house from an intermediary. It wasn't rented, Jiang Feng bought it. The fee is not very large, after all, Jiang Feng has a lot of low-grade vitality stones. On the other hand, this house is just a very ordinary house, not a large area, and it will not be very expensive.
The house has one bedroom, one kitchen and one bathroom, with a small balcony, on the 38th floor. The entire building, with a total of eighty floors, is considered a low floor where Jiang Feng is located. And the area of this building is very large, and there are many residents in it.
Inside the building is a huge community, every ten floors, is a part, and these ten floors also form a well-equipped community. Everything you need in your daily life can be found in the ten floors of your life. Even if it's a hospital school, there are. The reason why this is so is because there are too many residents in the building.
The middle part of the thirty-eighth floor is empty, and if you stand on the edge and look down, you can see the ground in the middle of the thirty-first floor. If you look up, you can see the roof of the 40th floor. The layout here is like this, every ten floors, it is like this.
Due to the size of the building, there is no sunlight in all but the rooms on the edges. Inside the building there is a daylight system that simulates the sunlight outside. The ventilation system is also good and does not stuffy. It's just that the area is too big, and if it's the first time you're here, it's easy to get lost.
I walked around near my door and looked at what was there, it was really comprehensive, even a supermarket. Jiang Feng bought some daily necessities and some food, and then went back.
The house is well equipped with appliances, nothing is lacking and it is also very clean. There are no real windows, because it's not a side house, there is no sunlight. There are simulated windows on the walls, which simulate the light outside, and it looks very realistic. As long as you spend money, the scenery outside can be reflected.
For this room, Jiang Feng is still satisfied. If he lives alone, this place is enough. There are all kinds of facilities nearby, and you don't have to go far to buy everything you need for daily life.
"Well, this will be my home from now on. When you get to know more about this place and become stronger, you can change to a better house. Jiang Feng said to himself.
I had just sat down in the living room, and within a few minutes, I heard a knock on the door. There was a doorbell, but the doorbell didn't ring, only a knock, still the kind of knocking that was very hard. Jiang Feng glanced at the door, casually asked who it was, and at the same time stood up and went to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw two young men standing outside the door. Jiang Feng was very sure that he hadn't seen these two people, and he didn't know what these two people were doing when they came to him, so he knocked on the door so hard.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Newly moved, charged. In the future, every month, I will go to the thirtieth floor to pay the fee, and I don't have to wait for us to come to the door, you know? One of the young men said.
"Payment? What are the costs? The water and electricity bills have been paid, the management fee has also been paid, and there are still any fees to be paid. Jiang Feng said puzzled.
"Don't pretend to be confused. The ones you pay are just the most ordinary, and there is a kind of fee. One thousand and a half a month, doubling in the first month. Take three thousand. The other party said.
Jiang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Protection fee? I really didn't pay for this. Three thousand, wait, I'll give it to you. ”
After speaking, Jiang Feng turned around and went back to the house, picked up a bag from the coffee table, took out the money from it, and handed it to the person at the door. The person at the door took the money and counted it, told Jiang Feng to pay the next month's by himself at the beginning of the month, and did not wait for them to collect it himself, and then left.
Standing at the door, watching these two people leave, Jiang Feng didn't close the door and go back until they were far away. He had just come here, and the person who said that the protection fee came to the door, and the action was really fast. Jiang Feng is not afraid of these two people, it's just that he has just arrived here, and there is no reason to provoke others, so it is better to be calmer. As for the money, Jiang Feng still could afford it. This monthly protection fee is nothing to Jiang Feng.
Since he lived here, Jiang Feng naturally had to know something about this building. When he bought a house, he also made a special inquiry about the situation here. One of them is that people who live here are required to pay protection money. This fee was collected by the strongest person in the building.
Every ten floors is an area, and in these ten floors, there is a person who has the final say. This person doesn't care about dealing with normal property matters, just collecting money. If you want to live here, you have to pay for it, otherwise you don't want to live here. Jiang Feng was resistant in his heart, but he didn't go against the other party.
If Jiang Feng showed his strength, then Jiang Feng would not have to pay this money. Because the people who live here are all very ordinary people, and their strength is not high. The strength of those who collect protection money will not be high. With Jiang Feng's strength, it is indeed possible not to pay. Jiang Feng also knew this, but he didn't have much to do. It's time to spend money to buy tranquility.
Just sent away two people who charged the fee, and there is not much time. Someone knocked on Jiang Feng's door again, but he also didn't ring the doorbell, and the knocking sound was still loud. After Jiang Feng opened the door, he saw two people outside the door, who he had never seen before.
"New here, it's time to pay. Do you pay monthly, or annually? The man outside the door said.
Jiang Feng thought to himself, didn't he just hand it over, so he said, "I handed it over, two people just came to collect it, and I paid three thousand." Why don't you ask the two people before, I'll pay them. ”
"Did you give it to me? I don't care who you give it to, and I don't care how much you give. I'll collect it, and you have to pay it, otherwise it won't count. Three thousand, hurry up and bring it. The man outside the door said.
Jiang Feng looked at the two people outside the door, still adhering to the principle that he had just come here, he just wanted to be calm and didn't want to be troubled, Jiang Feng took out the money and handed it over. Then the man left. Jiang Feng also went back to the house to rest. It's just that he didn't expect that after a short time, someone would slam on Jiang Feng's door again.
After opening the door, there were still two people outside who had never seen him, Jiang Feng said, "Come to charge, three thousand, right?" ”
"If you know, hand it over quickly, don't let us bother with words." The man outside the door said.
"Let me ask, how many people have the final say on this floor, and how many families are there who collect protection money." Jiang Feng asked.
"What do you mean. Of course, there is only one of these ten floors that collects protection money, and others who dare to collect it don't want to live, right? Hurry up and pay the money, don't waste time, you're still busy. The man outside the door said.
Jiang Feng sighed and said, "Then I have already handed it over before, not only have I handed it over, but I have also handed it over twice." Someone has already come to collect it twice before, and I have paid it both. I don't think I should have to hand it in anymore. ”
"Delivered? When was it handed in and is there a receipt? If you have one, take it out and take a look. The man outside the door said.
Jiang Feng laughed angrily, can the person who collects the protection fee still give a receipt? Doesn't that sound like? Jiang Feng felt that either the people before were liars, or these people had discussed it and deliberately charged a few more times to make more money. It's okay to come to collect it for the second time, but now it's the third time, it's really Jiang Feng's mud. If there are several copies of the money here, then it is better to say some, but only one, which is a bit excessive.
"I know you have an office, and your people are usually there. Let's go and see, if I can find the person who collected the money before, then I don't have to talk about wronged money. Let's go. Jiang Feng said. He came out of the door and closed it with his hand.
"Boy, don't be ignorant, lest something you can't bear. If you hand it over honestly, you'll be fine. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng could be sure that the people who came to collect the money had been discussed. Jiang Feng ignored these two people and walked towards the place where these people worked. That is, the entrance of their gang hall, where people should be found.
"If you go and you can't find someone, you have to pay the same if you go. Since you want to find trouble, then it's up to you. Something happened then, but I didn't warn you. Said the man who came to collect the money.
Jiang Feng walked in front, quickly went downstairs, and found the place where these people were. They are all subordinates of the boss of this ten-story building, and they usually gather together. In the building, it is also the kind of king and hegemon, and it belongs to the part of people who can't be provoked.
Pushing the door in, it felt like entering a bar, only without the dim flickering lights and loud music. In the spacious room, there were a lot of people, and after Jiang Feng came in, he quickly saw the person who collected the money before, and the four of them were there. The two people who came back with Jiang Feng also came in at this time.
"What the hell, who let you in, why don't you understand the rules at all." Someone scolded.
Jiang Feng ignored the person who spoke, and he came to the person who had collected his money before. The four of them were sitting on the same sofa before, originally chatting, but now they were all looking at Jiang Feng. When he saw Jiang Feng coming, he stood up.
"It's all here, that's good, you don't have to look for them one by one. Before, the four of you took me two shares, so you have to do this. Jiang Feng said.
"We took your money? Has anyone seen it, is there any evidence? If you don't, don't talk nonsense, and be careful of getting yourself in trouble. This is not a place for you to go wild. Hurry up and hand over the money, and get out. One of them said.
Jiang Feng ignored him and said to the two people who came with him, "It's the four of them who took my money and received two copies." I have already handed it in, and I don't need to do it again. ”
"It's just what you say, it doesn't mean anything. They didn't admit to taking your money. So you still have to pay. If you don't, we'll have plenty of ways to get you to do it. At that time, you will regret it. ”
When he said this, other people around him also gathered, which was obviously to put pressure on Jiang Feng. Since Jiang Feng is here, he doesn't plan to pay any more, he still plans to come back after what he gave before.
"You have a way, right, and I have a way. Let you know my approach now. Jiang Feng said.
Then he saw Jiang Feng take a step sideways, came to a person who had received money from him before, kicked this person in the chest, and directly kicked him out. Before his foot landed, he swept towards the person next to him, kicking him out as well.
