Chapter 33: The Gambler's World (1)
Wu Peng said that he didn't have time today, and he was late at noon the next day, and as soon as he entered the teahouse office, he gave Yu Xiaoshan a big hug: "Brother, I thought you wouldn't want to contact me anymore, I miss your brother a lot." β
Yu Xiaoshan didn't move, and he didn't say anything else to him, so he went straight to the point: "Wu Peng, we have been brothers for many years, I think I have never treated you badly, and I don't care if you lose me or not." Now that I have a personal matter, can you give me 1,000?"
Wu Peng's smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and he didn't have time to accept it and didn't want to continue, and he froze there and turned into a very unique facial expression.
His eyes rolled quickly, Wu Peng's heart crackled with an unknown little abacus, and he didn't talk to Yu Xiaoshan anymore.
Xiaocheng on the side couldn't hold back: "What's the total? Xiaoshan doesn't want to pay you back, you know what kind of character he has, look at your lost color (shai three sounds)"
Yu Xiaoshan stared at Wu Peng and continued: "I will ask for it within two days, and the interest will be open to you." β
Wu Peng's eyes glanced downward, and then returned to normal, and even exaggerated a little: "Brother, let's not talk about this between our brothers, I have a good thing, if you can do it tonight, I will directly give you 10 million without your interest, and you can pay me back within two years." β
Xiaocheng patted Wu Peng on the shoulder: ", brother, I misjudged you, you are really interesting at a critical time!"
Yu Xiaoshan's heart was ringing the alarm bell, he was not as naΓ―ve as Xiaocheng, Wu Peng could see what kind of temper and temperament he had in a few things that he began to go downhill, 10 million in two years without interest?
But Meng Chuan'er's life and death are uncertain now, and no one can raise 10 million in the short term, even if he does a mortgage, he will not be so fast, Yu Xiaoshan understands that he has no choice, as long as he is not murdering, transgressing, raping and selling drugs, he has to agree to anything. As for what the consequences are, we can only take one step at a time.
"Say, what do I need to do. β
Wu Peng's eyes lit up with joy: "Brother, this matter is too simple. As for your heavy position in the stock of Disheng Holdings, I saw that you just sold it. Don't you know its chairman, Li Lin?"
Yu Xiaoshan sneered: "Li Lin, I only have a few faces, and I am not very familiar with it. And Wu Peng, I didn't notice that you paid so much attention to me before? The stock I just sold at the beginning of the morning has not been around for three hours now, so you know?"
Wu Peng smiled awkwardly: "I'm not actually focusing on stocks, it's the chairman." You ask Li Lin out tonight, and you tell him that you take him to a good place. β
"Where?"
This Li Lin likes to play a few cards with nothing to do, and at night he will introduce him to a friend's newly opened underground field to ensure that he is satisfied. β
Yu Xiaoshan instantly understood what was going on, this meant that he should take people into the pit, when did Wu Peng get involved with this thing? Isn't this similar to the work of the Macau stacker? Is this the market too bad Patek Philippe to sell? Or is it blinded by lard and blackened by the eyes?
"City C is so big, there are only a few people with heads and faces, why don't you make an appointment yourself?"
Wu Peng said with a smile: "This is my brother's opening, and I came out to ask him to be too wary." But don't worry, brother, we're not killing people, whether he wins or loses, I will give 10 million tomorrow, without interest for two years. β
Yu Xiaoshan has never been involved in drugs and gambling, and he thinks that people who are infected with these two things can no longer be called human beings. So he didn't know anything about these two areas. I have heard of the madness of gamblers and drug addicts, and I have also read "Alive" written by Yu Hua, but there are really no two types of people around.
However, since there is no limit to whether he wins or loses, he will quietly imply that Li Lin is tired of this time, so he will leave quickly if he wins a small win, or he will make up for it if he loses hundreds of thousands. People who can be the chairman of a listed company are very shrewd and capable, and their IQ also belongs to the top part of the pyramid, and they will not be calculated by others.
Yu Xiaoshan, who had made up his mind, was a little more at ease: "I'm not familiar with him, I'm only responsible for making an appointment to try it once, and I can't force it if I can't make an appointment." β
Wu Peng nodded like pounding garlic: "Don't force it, don't force it, what kind of character is it, we can't force it." β
Probably because Yu Xiaoshan's background in the circle of C City is too clean, everyone knows that he does not gamble, and there are no gamblers around him. Li Lin only happily asked: "How do you know that I am so good, okay! I'll go see the new field!" At half past eleven in the evening, he came to the teahouse to find Yu Xiaoshan.
Wu Peng didn't appear, but told Yu Xiaoshan the address in advance. After following the address, I passed a desolate path like a tortuous cemetery, and came to a dilapidated Zhumen family - it was a real antique Zhumen family.
But the beams of the house are full of yellow grass stalks, as soon as the wind blows about Susu, the two stone lions covered with moss at the door remind people of the sentence in the dream of Red Mansions: spider silk is full of carved beams, and green yarn is now pasted on the canopy window.
There were no plaques, no couplets, and no signs that there were people in there. Yu Xiaoshan followed the code told him by Wu Peng, "two long and one short, two broken and one long" and then shouted: "Luan Xuan picks up customers, Kongluan is here!" (Note: Luan Xuan is a black word before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the meaning of du field, and the meaning of control Luan is naturally Du Bo. οΌ
After a few moments, the door opened. Li Lin carried a backpack and walked in excitedly. Yu Xiaoshan smacked him, and Li Lin turned around impatiently: "Well, Xiaoshan, hurry up." β
"Mr. Li, I haven't been to this place, and the people who opened the factory are not familiar with me, let's make a small fuss about 500,000 yuan to win or lose, okay? Cross the line and let's go. β
Li Lin stopped and turned around to look at Yu Xiaoshan: "Yo he, I haven't started yet, you just look for bad luck here, Xiaoshan, I know that people in the circle say that you are righteous, and you are not an errand person, I like to play myself, why use your money?
Yu Xiaoshan lit a cigarette in the courtyard and patted Li Lin on the shoulder: "Mr. Li, I know you can afford to play, but it's one thing to lose seriously, and it's another thing to be forced to lose, right?"
Li Lin thought for a while: "What do you mean?
Yu Xiaoshan spit out a smoke ring: "That's it, don't say more." What I just said is the best ending, the bottom line is 50, win or lose at will. β
Li Lin nodded thoughtfully: "Cheng! I'll listen to you! Just stop playing a few games." β
There is a long corridor on the left side of the courtyard, which leads to the various rooms that are lit inside. In the middle of the courtyard there are round stone tables and small stone piers, on which various fruits and dried fruits are arranged. There is a beautiful woman wearing a goose-yellow cheongsam playing the guzheng next to her, and her voice is like flying flowers and moon-by-moon, and she is constantly circling the beam for three days.
No matter how elegant it is, it is also a den of thieves, and sooner or later it will be taken by the police! Yu Xiaoshan thought so in his heart.
Wu Peng jumped out from the depths of the corridor and pretended to say, "Hey, brother, why are you here? Yo, isn't this Mr. Li? Come on, come in, come in!"
"Hey!!Here we are!!" trotted out a young man in his 20s who nodded his head.
"What are you busy with! I didn't see the VIP coming! Hurry up and vacate the VIP room and invite Mr. Li to take a seat. β
Wu Peng and Liuzi surrounded Li Lin and let him and Yu Xiaoshan into a room full of Huanghuali furniture. Open and wide south-facing room, as soon as you enter the door, there is a huge Huanghuali table, rectangular, more than enough for 20 people to disperse around.
Behind the west side of the table, there is a Huanghuali cabinet with a width of two meters and a width of three meters, and the doors of the cabinet are intricate wood carvings, which looks like a picture of Yugong moving mountains.
Mr. Li dragged a chair from Huanghuali to the front of the cabinet with both hands and said, "I have to sit here, there is a mountain behind here." β
Five girls wearing red cheongsams with a bumpy appearance that looked like Lin Daiyu took five teapots and placed them next to Li Lin. Li Lin was not happy at first glance.
"Go, go, go, girl, don't understand. Can the pot be placed like this?" as he spoke, he placed the five pots on the opposite side, and twisted the spout to face him.
"This water represents wealth, you know, wealth can only be poured on me!"
Then Li Lin took a bunch of things from his backpack, including pixiu, gluttonous ornaments, and a bunch of yellow paper cinnabar charms. He also took out seven Kuman Tong, and then began to put incense, chanting words in his mouth: "Sons, bless Dad with a victorious start today, and use the new land qi of this new place to kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"
Yu Xiaoshan saw that his liver hurt, what a mess. The chairman of a listed company and a well-known private entrepreneur in City C are no different from those who dance big gods in rural areas. A company has gone through an IPO (Initial Public Offering, which is an initial public offering. It's all stripped of a few layers of skin, how can the actual controller of this kind of enterprise be chattering.
I didn't find out about Li Lin's behavior before. Wu Peng was also holding back his pleasure, and the corners of his mouth pulled out an arc that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. From time to time, he whispered a few words to the six sons around him, which became more and more sinister.
Li Lin was sitting in a precarious position, the atmosphere was solemn, it seemed that he was doing a particularly great job, taking a deep breath and only looking at the cards in front of him without distractions, it seemed that he was like telling Yu Xiaoshan that people who don't know how to do it, this kind of thing is also the right way in the world, and the money that comes is also clean and beautiful.
Yu Xiaoshan became more and more annoyed by Li Lin's face, it seems that his principles are right, gamblers and people who are involved in drugs have nothing to do with the word cute, and 80,000 poles can't be beaten. But Yu Xiaoshan still has to keep an eye on it, although Wu Peng didn't say it, but Yu Xiaoshan is sure that he will definitely set up a set for Li Lin tonight.
The words in the courtyard were almost home, and it was impossible for Li Lin not to understand the meaning, so Yu Xiaoshan was not worried, he was worried about Meng Chuan'er, who was far away in Afuhan, the visa had already been issued, as long as Wu Peng sent the money tomorrow, he would book a plane ticket immediately.
Meng Chuan'er, no matter where you are, as long as you still have a breath, wait for me, wait for me to bring you back. It's just that what Xiaoshan expected was that this Li Lin almost didn't come out this night. You can never imagine what a gambler will experience in one night, another world that is not in the realm of normal people's cognition.
