Chapter 315: Tulip Club, Outlaws
The Comfort Club was shut down.
This news caused an uproar within a certain range.
The Comfort Club is not just a club, it is also an underground casino with a certain reputation in Starfish City!
The Comfort Club has been around for more than thirty years, and while there have been various things happening before, it has never been to the point of being shut down.
Now it has been seized by the police!
When some insiders got the news, they were a little incredulous.
After all, Barron, the owner of the Comfort Club, is very powerful and maintains a good cooperative relationship with various forces. I even heard that some *** of the city police department and the city government have Barron's shadow behind them.
With such a powerful figure, how could his property be directly blocked by the police?
However, the fact is that it was blocked by the police.
That night, the battle boss was over!
Several blocks have been sealed off. More than 30 police cars were dispatched, and almost half of the city's police came......
I heard that many people were taken away. Barron, the owner of the Comfort Club, may have been taken away, but he hasn't been seen since that day.
The seizure of the Comfort Club was a talking point for most people.
Because most people don't know that this is an underground casino, they think it's a big night club. Comfort is blocked, there are other clubs to choose from, just go a little more. The only pity is that those empathetic young ladies may not be able to see it......
But for others, the closure of the Comfort Club is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.
There are about two kinds of people.
One is a partner of the Comfort Club. After all, with such a big club, it is impossible to be self-sufficient in everything, and it needs a lot of partners. There are lucrative stakes. The Comfort Club was suddenly closed, so these partners suddenly lost a big customer, and it is not surprising that they are uncomfortable.
The other kind of people are gamblers who often come to the Comfort Club.
The reason why an underground casino is called an underground casino is because it is very hidden and few people know about it. Basically, they are repeat customers, or old and new.
There are many underground casinos in the whole of Beranibang, but even a veteran gambler would not dare to say that he knows about a tenth of them.
For most gamblers, they know of an underground casino, usually the one closest to their home.
It's like these gamblers in the vicinity of the Comfort Club, they only know the Comfort Club. Underground casinos elsewhere, they don't know at all, or occasionally hear of them, but don't know about them.
So the Comfort Club made them very uncomfortable.
Underground casinos are not allowed on the table, don't care if you have a great background before. As long as it is seized and exposed, it basically means that it is cold.
If the Comfort Club is gone, what will happen to them gamblers? finally waited for the Sky Wolf Cup, and also studied some relevant knowledge, but it turned out to be useless......
And among these gamblers, some are even more unlucky.
This part is the person who has made a bet at the Comfort Club but has not yet cashed out.
They're all scolding their mothers now. ….
The casinos were seized and everything was taken, including their gambling money.
It's impossible to spit out the money when it goes into an official institution, let alone an underground casino...... If only a regular casino would be fine, in this case, the money would be returned to the gambler, but alas, it is not ......
If they had known that this was going on, they wouldn't have gambled on anything!
It's normal to have no money if you lose, but if you win and have no money, it makes people vomit blood.
Many people want to ask for an explanation, but suddenly they find that they have nowhere to go.
The cosy club was closed, the owners disappeared, plus the casinos and their gambling itself were illegal...... Who can this go to? If you really dare to find an official agency, you will be put in a game every minute.
I had no choice but to smash my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.
However, many people have not given up and are still waiting for the comfort club to be unblocked. It is said that the owner of the Comfort Club is very powerful, and this predicament should not be difficult for him...... Right?
In the locked-down Cozy Club, Luo Yin is explaining some renovation plans to Sam.
"There's a little bar here...... Move the stage a little bit to that side......
Sam took the small notebook and took notes carefully.
Luo Yin is ready to make some changes to the club.
The previous Anyi Club Casino was okay, quite like that, but the club itself was not very good, and it was a bit outdated.
So Luo Yin is going to transform it a little, completely according to his own aesthetics.
Not only clubs, but also underground casinos had to be reinvented.
This is because he wants to make a distinction between the future "Tulip Club" and the current "Cozy Club".
As the saying goes, see things and think about people. If nothing is changed and the business is opened, it will lead to hatred towards the club among gamblers who have been cheated out.
But if you can distinguish it from the previous one, you can clearly tell customers that this is a tulip club, not a cosy club. It's the Comfort Club that pits you, and it has nothing to do with my Tulip Club...... This will reduce the anger of the people.
Although Luo Yin is not afraid of retaliation, there is no need to let customers hate him, after all, customers are God!
The renovation includes the exterior wall of the club, the parking lot, the surrounding hotels, etc.
The Comfort Club is not just a club, there are many properties affiliated to the Comfort Club around, which can be regarded as a one-stop service. These have to be changed a little.
Luo Yin thought that if the club was not profitable in the future, then he would sell it directly, and if the profit was not bad, then he could consider buying this street!
This street is also not a good place, it is not expensive, or it is not much.
"Alright, that's all. In the future, if you don't understand something, you can ask me directly, of course, some small things and so on, you can decide for yourself."
Luo Yin finally explained.
"It's the boss!"
Sam was a little excited. He didn't expect this new boss to be so atmospheric!
When he saw that Luo Yin was going to embezzle the 100 million gambling funds privately, Sam also felt that the new owner was a little eager for quick success, and he was somewhat skeptical that Luo Yin could run the club well.
But then he found that he was smaller! ….
After Luo Yin got the club's 30 million cash and the 100 million gambling money, he didn't put all the money into his pocket. Instead, he took out a full 30 million to renovate the club!
To be honest, although Sam also wanted to renovate the club, he was still scared by the money, which was 30 million wolf coins!
The whole club is only worth 20 million, no, it's not worth 20 million now. If you are so written by the police, let alone 20 million, even 2 million may not be able to sell - provided that the blockade is real.
So Sam admired Luo Yin very much, but he didn't expect Luo Yin to be so willing.
In fact, the reason why Luo Yin spent so much money was not all spent on the transformation of the club. Only 10 million was spent on the club's renovation.
Of the remaining 20 million, 4 million were for the "internal auction" of the police department and the funds for this large-scale operation; Six million were funds to support the local government, and the last million was given to Lucas.
Lucas may not care about the money, but people have helped him so much, so it is reasonable to say it.
However, Luo Yin overestimated Lucas a little, and for the Eller family, 10 million was indeed a small amount. But for Lucas personally, it's actually a lot.
After all, the current Eyler family is run by his father, not him. He is also a relatively independent and self-reliant person, and most of the funds in his hands are earned by himself except for those distributed by the family.
At that time, Lucas also reminded Luo Yin, saying that Luo Yin's bribe money was not so much, and one million each to the government and the police station was a lot.
But Luo Yin thought about it and was still ready to give a little more.
After all, no one is too little about money. The effect of giving more to less is definitely different.
In addition, he now has the Eller family behind him, so he doesn't have to worry about being deliberately found fault by them.
In this case, he still gives more money, that is, he purely wants to make friends with these people. This kind of kindness is not something that even fools can see.
And it's not good to always rely on the Eller family, you have to develop your own network, and now is a good opportunity.
For these official forces, they are happy to know such a powerful and powerful boss.
With so much money spent, the effect is obvious.
The police and the city government cooperated vigorously, and the lockdown of the cosy club was as if it were real. Then various projects were greenlit all the way, and even sent someone to serve Luo Yin.
It seems that Luo Yin is treated as a star entrepreneur.
Just based on the strength that Luo Yin is showing now, he is definitely not the strongest, but he is definitely one of the most generous people! This kind of entrepreneur must be treated well.
Even the *** of the city government said that they had no ability to gamble cards, otherwise they would have to help Luo Yin get one.
However, the gambling card is not available for the time being, but they also made it clear that they will help Luo Yin pay attention when they turn around, and if there is any inside information, they will notify Luo Yin as soon as possible.
The inside information of the city government is estimated to be no worse than that of the Eyler family. So Luo Yin readily agreed......
After explaining Sam, Luo Yin was about to leave, but suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked again:
"By the way, our club's security force, just these thirty or so security guards?" ….
"Yes, boss."
Luo Yin frowned slightly.
"There are a little fewer people, you can go back and see if you can recruit a little more."
In a foreign country, Luo Yin is still a little insecure, and the club is a mixed place, so it is natural to pay attention to safety.
"Yes!"
Sam moved his lips, but finally didn't say anything.
In fact, the previous club cooperated with some nearby gangs or security companies, and when you needed people, you could just hire them directly. This saves time, effort and money.
If you cultivate it yourself, the cost is much better.
Of course, there must still be a certain gap between the people you invite and the people you train, especially in terms of loyalty. Therefore, it is best to be able to train people by yourself, but it is more expensive. There are pros and cons.
But the new boss is so rich and very willing. This kind of thing must have been thought about too much, so Sam didn't say anything more.
The Comfort Club has been officially renamed the Tulip Club, which is to commemorate Luo Yin's first company. The relevant procedures have been completed and the door is ready to open for business.
However, the transformation has not been completed yet, and it is necessary to avoid the limelight for a while, so Luo Yin is ready to wait for the end of the knockout round before opening the door, that is, half a month to a month later.
Although this will lose some money, it is not a big problem, Luo Yin has already thought about the various promotions when it opens.
Luo Yin himself came to Eller Manor.
On the fourth day of the end of the group stage today, Erin's father came back and asked Luo Yin to go over for dinner.
Luo Yin naturally didn't want to refuse.
He left the club in a low-key manner in a police car parked outside the club. The club is now under lockdown and the average person can't get in.
After all, he just pit those gamblers, and Luo Yin doesn't want to expose that the club has been taken over for the time being, so he has to keep a low profile.
For this kind of small matter, the Haixing City Police Department naturally thought about it properly, and there was no need for Luo Yin to worry too much.
Luo Yin carried a bottle of red wine to Eller Manor.
Richard's eyes lit up when he saw it, because he didn't seem to have drunk the red wine in Luo Yin's hand.
There are many types of red wine in Luo Yin's hands, and he can't drink them himself. Since you are a guest at someone's house, you will definitely not be empty-handed
Great.
At the dinner table, Richard congratulated Luo Yin on the first place in the team group and said a lot of words of encouragement, and Luo Yin expressed his gratitude.
But Richard suddenly changed his mind.
"Luo Yin, does your team have any plans to find sponsors?"
Luo Yin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied:
"Huh? I'm a sponsor myself!"
"That's not the case, you sponsor yourself, but you can find some other sponsors! It's not an exclusive sponsorship, and there's no need for an exclusive sponsorship......
Richard said with a smile.
Luo Yin's face fell into contemplation, and after a moment, he asked tentatively:
"What does Mr. Richard mean ......?"
"That's right, I want to work with you, no, my wife wants to work with you to be exact. She's been busy lately and doesn't have time to come back, so I happened to have time in the last two days, so I'll be back......"....
Richard explained.
To put it simply, he and his wife are more optimistic about Luo Yin's team, and think that the Dawn team has the strength to break into the finals, so they want to put some advertisements on Luo Yin's team.
A car has a large area, and advertising is perfect.
Previously, there were only advertisements for Dawn on the Dawn racing car, and the area was not very large, so it was possible to find some other sponsors.
The Sirius Cup is now very hot and is a hot topic for the whole people. The number of viewers for each race is also very large, and the effect of advertising on those cars with good results is still very good.
After the group stage, a businessman approached the Dawn team, saying that he wanted to sponsor, but Luo Yin directly refused. Luo Yin didn't think much about it.
But now that Richard has spoken in person, then Luo Yin has to think about it, money is secondary, mainly because this is with Richard - oh no, it's with Olive Live!
Richard and Olive are both at the top of the business field of the Sirius Empire.
Richard is the majority shareholder of the Celestial Wolf Empire's third-largest military company, Nexus, and the current head of the Eller family...... There are countless industries under his hands.
Olive is the president of the Helen Cloth Group of the Sirius Empire and the vice president of the Fabric Exporters...... She is one of the famous strong women in the Sky Wolf Empire.
No matter who you work with, the benefits are enormous. Even if they don't make money, there are people rushing to cooperate.
"No problem! I didn't pay much attention to the sponsorship before, and it felt dispensable. But when Mr. Richard said that, I feel that this sponsor is still very important...... Now that Mr. Richard has spoken, and I need this, it's a win-win situation!"
Luo Yin smiled and spoke. It was beautifully said, and Richard was delighted.
"Haha! That's good! As for the specific cooperation, you can talk to her when Olive comes back in two days. Don't worry, we won't cheat you!"
Richard laughed.
Richard said that he was not very clear about the specific cooperation, and the husband and wife both had their own careers, and under normal circumstances, they would not deliberately inquire unless the other party took the initiative to say.
However, Richard also told Luo Yin that it should not be a large company of the scale of Helen Cloth Group. Because these big companies have already found a team before the start of the Sirius Cup, and even cultivated the team themselves, it is impossible to sponsor another team.
It's not that they don't want to sponsor, it's that the rules of the Sirius Cup don't allow it, a company can only sponsor one team, and a team can accept sponsorship from multiple businesses.
Of course, sponsorship is sponsorship, which does not mean that you can order the team casually, it mainly depends on how the contract is signed.
Richard said that Olive would not cheat Luo Yin and deliberately engage in some unacceptable conditions, she just wanted to advertise.
And the reason why Luo Yin was found was actually that Erin and Lucas kept saying that Luo Yin's Dawn team was powerful. Especially in the last game of the group stage, Lucas was simply shocked, so he strongly recommended Luo Yin's Dawn team to his parents.
As for Lou
Cass himself, he himself is a shareholder of two teams, both of which qualified for the group stage with good results. The two are also rivals in a way. If he wants to sponsor Luo Yin, it is somewhat inappropriate.
This is also his way of life, trying to avoid making friends and partners uncomfortable.
Luo Yin was slightly disappointed when he heard that it was not Helen Cloth Group.
If this company can sponsor him, not to mention how much money he gives, at least he can make his Dawn team famous instantly!
But it's not a big problem, reputation, just play it out slowly!
After eating, Luo Yin didn't stop at Eller Manor, and went back to the racing base directly. The knockout rounds are just a few days away, and he's got to worry about it.
But as soon as she returned to the base, Janet suddenly said to Luo Yin with a serious face:
"There's something going on at the Tulip Club, and a gang of outlaws has come to ......."
A mountain ghost who loves to laugh
