Chapter 151: The Russians
Lu Li was not an idiot, and immediately realized that there must be something wrong with the bald manager in front of him, maybe he accepted the benefits of the Russians, or he may have been threatened by some kind, anyway, ordinary managers would never encourage their bosses to participate in selling banks.

Although the industry has long been rampant in the United States, there is only one place that has been able to legalize it so far, and that is Nevada, the state where the casino city of Las Vegas is located.
With the exception of Nevada, all other states are illegal to sell silver, especially those involved in the business and organizers, which are punishable by three to six years in prison.
He finally obtained legal status and a green card, but he didn't come to the United States to go to prison.
Thinking of this, Lu Li raised his head, stared at the other party's eyes that were a little weak, and only after a while did he speak: "Jonathan, do you know, you are instigating me to commit a crime, to be precise, instigating a crime, I only need to make a phone call to my lawyer, and I can send you to prison immediately." ā
"No! No! No! You're mistaken! I'm just offering a way to increase my nightclub income! I'm not abetting crime!" Jonathan was visibly panicked, and hurriedly waved his hand to clear the relationship.
However, Lu Li obviously wouldn't let him go so easily, and shook his head with a sneer: "It seems that you haven't understood your situation yet! Now either tell me about your relationship with the Russian gangsters, or I will call the lawyer and ask him to take you to the police, and I trust the judge to judge for himself whether you have abetted the crime or not. Of course, no matter what the end result is, you're going to lose your job, and I'm not going to hire a guy who eats inside and out as a manager. ā
"Don't! Don't do it! I was forced! Since the money laundering case was exposed, the Russian gangsters have been eyeing this place, and they know that Kamal simply can't afford to pay that much fine, so they want to take this opportunity to intervene. The Russian guy named Vasily also filmed me cheating, and threatened to send it to my wife if I didn't do what he said. I can't lose my marriage and family, and I can't afford to lose my job and go to jail!"
Under tremendous pressure, Jonathan's spirit finally broke down, crying out for the reason.
He originally thought that the new Chinese boss should be easier to deal with, so he wanted to try to complete the task assigned by the Russian gangster, but he never expected that instead of completing the task, he put himself in it.
"You were filmed cheating on the video?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Jonathan sighed bitterly: "Alas-yes, Vasily sent a girl named Lilia to seduce me, she was only nineteen years old, with long blond hair, and a particularly charming smile, we met by a chance accident, and soon began to chat, date, fall in love......"
Looking at the intoxicated expression of the somewhat bald and obese middle-aged man in front of him, Lu Li suddenly felt stomach acid surge, but fortunately, his endurance was good, and he didn't vomit immediately.
After all, any young girl with normal aesthetics can never take the initiative to fall in love with an old, ugly, and somewhat bald middle-aged fat man, and if they do so, then they must have a clear purpose, maybe for money, maybe to use it as a springboard to enter high society, in short, they must have ulterior secrets.
However, Jonathan apparently ignored this, and as a result, he was not only in the hands of the gangsters, but also threatened with criminal activities.
After figuring out the situation, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh with a smile: "Man, you can never control your lower body." Give me the contact information called Vasily, and I'll talk to him personally. As for you, I can give you a chance to mend your ways, but remember, if you dare to do it a second time before you regain my trust, I promise to send you to jail. ā
"Thank you! Thank you so much! I swear there will never be a next time! Yes, this is Vasily's business card, and he said that he would call the phone as soon as he had news. Jonathan, who thought he had escaped, hurriedly pulled out a crumpled business card from his pocket.
Lu Li took it and glanced at it, and without saying a word, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the number above.
Just a few seconds later, an English phrase with a strong Russian accent came out of the earpiece: "Hello, I'm Vasily." ā
"Hello, Mr. Vasily, I'm the new owner of the WELL nightclub, and now I want to make an appointment with you to come out and talk, I don't know what you think?" Lu Li didn't hide his meaning at all, and proposed bluntly.
"New boss, isn't Well's boss Kamal?" Vasily's voice was full of confusion.
Lu Li explained with a smile: "Sorry, your message is out of date, just a few hours ago, I had already bought this nightclub, and also knew that you were threatening one of my managers to try to promote special services in the store." ā
Hearing that Kamal was no longer the boss of Well, Vasily fell silent for a moment, and it took half a minute before he asked, "What do you want?"
"It's not what I want, it's what you want. As a businessman, I don't want illegal services in my store, so I plan to see if we can negotiate a solution to our differences. After that, a hint of imperceptible playfulness appeared on Lu Li's face.
"Negotiating?hahahaha! You actually want to negotiate with us?!" Vasily seemed to hear something ridiculous, and the whole person let out a burst of wild laughter, and said in broken English while laughing: "Well, since you want to negotiate, then we will negotiate." Fifteen minutes later, a black Lincoln SUV will be parked in front of the nightclub, and you just have to sit on it and you will be able to negotiate with me face-to-face in about forty-five minutes. ā
"Okay, we'll see you in an hour. As the last word fell, Lu Li immediately hung up the phone.
"The owner...... Are you really going to negotiate with those Russian gangsters?" Jonathan asked cautiously.
Lu Li put the phone back in his pocket and nodded expressionlessly: "That's right! This matter must be resolved, otherwise I am afraid it will be endless in the future." I don't have time to play with them all the time. ā
"Yes...... But they're gangsters, and they're Russian gangsters......" Jonathan's voice trembled as he reminded.
"Hehe, don't worry, it's just a bunch of gray animals, I'll take care of their ......"
After saying this, Lu Li ignored the other party's eyes full of fear, and turned around and left the manager's office directly.
Of course, he knows how bad the reputation of the Russian gangsters is in the world, and he is even notoriously untrustworthy, likes to use violence and assassination to resolve contradictions, and is almost the strongest of all the gangsters.
But in Lu Li's eyes, the Russian gangsters are just a group of ordinary people who bully the weak and are afraid of the hard, if Vasily knows each other well, if he is entangled, he doesn't mind cleaning up the other party. (To be continued.) )
