Chapter 1045: Time is running out
There was a bang, and the flying knife was nailed into the trunk of a locust tree in front, and a little brother walked over and used a lot of strength to pull out the flying knife, and when he saw the pierced mosquito, he was shocked and exclaimed: "Brother Kun's flying knife is so accurate!" ”
I laughed and said, "I've been practicing for a long time, so I naturally have some experience." ”
The younger brother walked over and respectfully handed me back the flying knife.
After I put away the throwing knife, I went back to the house to take a shower, and waited in the living room for news from the prince.
Although I was in a hurry and wanted to know the answer, I couldn't call to urge me, so I could only wait for the result.
In this case, the mood is inevitably a little impetuous, and the more impetuous, the more I feel that time flies slowly.
At about ten o'clock, my mobile phone finally rang, and I was shocked and hurriedly picked up my phone to check the caller ID.
But what was shown on the caller ID was not the prince's number, but a call from Tie Ye.
Tie Ye usually doesn't call me, just call me for something, I thought to myself, Tie Ye called me, could it be that something happened to Liangchuan?
Immediately answered the phone.
"Hey, Tie Ye, have you eaten early?"
I answered the phone and said with a smile.
Tie Ye said: "I've eaten, what about you, Brother Kun?" ”
I said, "I've eaten too, Tie Ye, is there something you called for?" ”
Tie Ye said: "There is something I want to tell Brother Kun." ”
I said, "What's the matter?" ”
Tie Ye said: "Brother Kun, do you know that Xia Dong's son Xia Fan has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in Xicheng District and plans to build a luxury club?" ”
I was extremely surprised when I heard Tie Ye's words, and said, "Xia Fan built a luxury club? ”
Tie Ye said, "Brother Kun, you don't know about this matter? ”
I said, "yes, if I hadn't heard you talk about it, I wouldn't have known about it, what's wrong, what's the problem?" ”
Tie Ye said: "Our people went to negotiate with Xia Fan and asked him to pay the protection fee according to the rules, but he was beaten. ”
I frowned and said, "Xia Fan is still so arrogant now?" ”
Tie Ye said: "Maybe it's because of the relationship with Brother Kun." Another point, Xia Fan openly recruits security guards with high salaries, and there are a lot of recruits, I guess he may not be as simple as simply opening a club, Brother Kun, you'd better call and ask him. ”
I said, "I know about this, and I'll take care of it." Then he said a few more polite words to Tie Ye and hung up the phone.
When I hung up, I lit a cigarette and smoked.
Xia Fan opened a club? He is not short of money, and the business of Tianzi Group is much more stable than a club, if he wants to make money, there is no need to take risks to enter an industry that he has never been exposed to.
Hiring security guards with high salaries? What is he scheming about?
While I was thinking, Shi Zhao walked in, and when Shi Zhao saw that I was thinking about something, he asked me, "Brother Kun, what are you thinking?" ”
I said: "Just now Tie Ye called, saying that Xia Fan opened a club in Xicheng District, Liangchuan City, I don't know what tricks that loser is playing." ”
Shi Zhao smiled: "Could it be that he wants to show himself and make Xia Dong look at him with admiration?" ”
I shook my head and said, "No, I'll give you a call and ask." Then he picked up his phone and made a call to Xana.
Xia Na was very happy to receive my call, and asked me about my situation here on Suizhou Island, and asked me if I was used to it on Suizhou Island.
I chatted with Xia Na for a while, and then I got to the point and asked Xia Na: "Xia Na, I heard that Xia Fan plans to open a luxury club in Liangchuan City?" ”
Xana said, "You know that too? ”
I said, "Tie Ye called me just now to report this matter to me. ”
Xia Na said: "After Xia Fan came back from Zhongjing, he told my parents that he didn't like the business of the Tianzi Group and wanted to have his own business, and my parents were very happy to hear his words, so they supported him and took a lot of money to invest in him. Xiao Kun, Xia Fan seems to have really changed after this incident, and has become sensible, and basically didn't go outside to spend time drinking. ”
I heard Xia Na's words, but I didn't believe it, Xia Fan's kind of person and dog can't change their eating, and they will turn back from now on, and I don't believe it. After thinking about it, he said, "That means your parents support him to open a club?" ”
Xia Na said: "He wants to do serious things, and of course my parents support it." What, what's the problem? ”
I laughed and said, "Of course it's a good thing if he does his job, and I'm happy, well, so be it." ”
Then I called Tie Ye back and told Tie Ye that the people at the South Gate should not collect protection money, as long as they don't cause trouble and don't cause us trouble, let him go.
I have always been difficult to deal with Xia Fan, it stands to reason that he is doing business in my territory, and he must pay the management fee in full in accordance with the rules of the South Gate, but because my relationship with the Xia family and Xia Na is not very good, so I can only do so.
However, with what I know about Xia Zuo, he will most likely let Xia Fan follow the rules.
After talking to Xia Na on the phone, it was already noon, and the prince hadn't called yet.
Shi Zhao also knew about this and was more concerned, so he asked me if there was any news from the prince's side?
I shook my head and said, not yet.
I had a meal at noon, and another hour had passed, and the prince had not yet called, so that I could hardly sit still.
At this moment, my mobile phone rang again, I picked up my phone and glanced at the caller ID, and saw that it was really the prince calling, and my heart tightened on the spot, coming, finally coming!
I suppressed my excitement, answered the phone, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, I'm Xiao Kun, is there any news about the casino license?" ”
Murong Feng sighed, I had a premonition, and Murong Feng immediately said: "Xiao Kun, I'm sorry, I didn't succeed this time, and the casino license officially fell into Murong Qi's hands." ”
When I heard Murong Feng's words, I felt quite lost in my heart.
From the moment I entered Suizhou Island, I aimed for a third casino, although the prince had revealed in advance that there was little hope, but I was still very disappointed to hear that the license fell into the hands of others.
Although I was quite disappointed in my heart, I still said with a smile on my face: "Your Highness is serious, I am very happy to be able to obtain the right to operate the casino, and not being able to obtain it only proves that I am not that dead." ”
Murong Feng said: "Don't take it too seriously, not this time, if you have the opportunity next time, you will definitely be able to." ”
The prince's words are mostly comforting to me, according to the law of Dayan, casinos are not allowed to be opened casually, and only Suizhou Island because of its unique geographical conditions, as well as special positioning, has a legal license approved, but even in this case, so far, there are only three, if you want to wait until the fourth license is opened, I don't know the year of the monkey.
I said, "Well, Your Highness, who will the third prince hand over to take care of the third casino?" ”
Murong Feng said: "I was just about to tell you the news, according to the information obtained by my investigation, the third child handed over the third casino to Ji Shaoxiong, that is, the younger brother of Ji Shaojun, who was named a baron with you. ”
When I heard Murong Feng's words, I immediately reacted and said, "Is Ji Shaoxiong the boss of Humen?" ”
Murong Feng said: "That's right, although this Ji Shaoxiong is not as outstanding as his eldest brother Ji Shaojun, he is also very good, he retired a few months ago, and his rank before retirement was lieutenant colonel, which is also relatively promising." Retired with him were also his subordinates' capable subordinates, who are now the backbone of Humen. You have to be careful in the future, this Ji Shaoxiong is not a simple person. ”
I nodded and said, "I know." Is there no movement on the second prince's side? He shouldn't be watching Humen encroach on the Triad. ”
Murong Feng said: "There is no news yet, but I think he will make a move soon." ”
……
After talking to Murong Feng on the phone, I was extremely depressed, the casino still fell into the hands of the third prince Murong Qi, and my dream of becoming a casino tycoon was disappointed.
After Shi Zhao heard what I said, he was also extremely depressed, and said that the prince would not play tricks on me, and the third casino was painted by the prince for me from beginning to end, which was simply a disguise.
I thought about it and said to Shi Zhao, it shouldn't be, the prince is the same as me, he hopes to get the third casino in his pocket, and it is only because Murong Qi has been in the limelight recently, and it is difficult for the prince to compete with him.
Although I know that it is an established fact and cannot be changed, I am still very unwilling.
Is it really impossible to have a casino?
I don't believe it!
