Chapter five hundred and ninety fourth momentary gas(1/2)
"Sister Zhou, make us two cups of coffee." Before entering the house, Cao Bin did not ask George for advice anymore, and made arrangements directly. Then he gave George to the sofa in the room and took out a top-quality cigar to entertain George. "This cigar can be said to be an isolated product. It is likely that this quality cigar will never be seen again in the future. It should be twelve years ago. Cuba had a severe drought and the tobacco leaf production shrank in his eyes, but the quality of the tobacco leaves was surprisingly good."
The two of them lit cigars, and Mrs. Zhou's coffee was also served. Cao Bin took a sip and began to explain to George: "Lu Yao has been with me for twenty years, but I have hurt his interests for An Liangtang's transformation, which has caused him to have some opinions about me and made some wrong things. This makes me very difficult. George, you are also a brother, you should be able to understand my difficulties."
George picked up the coffee, tasted it, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and nodded and responded, "Yes, Tom, I can understand."
Cao Bin continued: "If he could be as honest as you, come to talk to me, and even ask me for certain compensation conditions, he might not have come to this point today. However, he did not do this, but embezzled a large amount of public funds out of revenge. According to the rules of Anliangtang, this crime should be executed. However, he is not only a brother I have been with for twenty years, but has earned countless dollars for me Anliangtang, but he is also Jack's fellow countryman. You may not know, George, we Chinese have a stronger concept of hometown than anyone else. Jack and Lu Yao are from the same village, and I cannot ignore this relationship."
George smoked a cigar and replied, "So, you did not execute Lu Yao. I understand this very much, but Jack said you punished him. Why is that?"
Cao Bin sighed: "Lu Yao embezzled such a large sum of money, I cannot not punish him, and he cannot punish him lightly, otherwise it would be difficult for this hall organization to manage. Jack was worried that his fellow countrymen would not be able to bear such heavy punishment, so he shared some of it for Lu Yao. Therefore, it was true that he said I hit him in the butt."
George said: "There is nothing wrong with these. My question is why Lv Yao set up his own business and reopened a casino."
Cao Bin said: "In addition to spanking, I have another punishment for him, that is, to expel him from Anliangtang. Since he is no longer Anliangtang's brother, it is difficult for me to restrain him anymore. As for why he dares to do this, I think it must be that he has been with me for twenty years and has a very good understanding of my temper and personality."
George was a little confused and couldn't help but ask: "What does this have to do with his understanding of you?"
Cao Bin took two cigars and sighed, "The brothers in the casino can at most maintain public order. If they fight with real swords and guns, he is definitely not your George's opponent. In other words, you can razed his casino to the ground overnight, but he has no strength to cause much damage to you."
George replied: "Maybe we are not as powerful as you said, or maybe they are not as fragile as you said, but I believe that it is not difficult to defeat them without interference. But, among them, Tom's attitude is the most critical. If you stand on his side, then I will have no chance of winning."
Cao Bin said: "You are very objective, George. In fact, if you want to be unfavorable to them, I will definitely not sit idly by. It is precisely because Lu Yao understood this that he was so confident."
George was very confused, spread his hands and asked exaggeratedly: "Why? Since he is no longer your brother, why do you still protect him?"
Cao Bin said: "This is not difficult to understand. George, will your Gambino family come forward to help when other Mafia families are violated?"
George shook his head repeatedly and said, "This is different. Tom, although we have divided into multiple families internally, we are complete Mafia to the outside world."
Cao Bin said: "Same, although Lu Yao left Anliangtang, this is also an internal matter for us. To the outside world, we are complete Chinese!"
George was stunned for a moment, then smiled and gave Cao Bin a thumbs up, and said, "I understand, Tom, your Anliangtang is actually the guardian god of all Chinese people. I admire your spirit very much. Please rest assured that as long as this matter is not your Tom's intention, I will definitely not hurt them for your sake."
Cao Bin smiled with relief and said, "Thank you, George, thank you for your understanding and tolerance. I promise you that I will handle this matter properly, but it will take some time."
Since it was confirmed that it was not Cao Bin's intention, George naturally felt relieved. As for the casino that Lu Yao opened would affect his business, this was not important to George. He believed that with Mafia's professional level of operating a casino, he could make up for the current losses in increments in as much as half a year.
George, who was relieved, began to enjoy the wonderful taste of top cigars and top coffee easily, and generously expressed his opinion to Cao Bin: "Even if he keeps running, there is no big problem. Tom, I just asked him not to open a second casino. I think this request is not too much." After George, who had finished his thoughts, enjoyed the coffee cigars, he forgot to ask Cao Bin for his advice on hiring the original casino staff, so he happily left.
In the conversation with George, Cao Bin used the derogatory word "Being confident" and "Being afraid" and in fact, Lu Yao's group of people really fully demonstrated the "Being afraid" and "Being afraid" and "Being afraid" and "Being afraid" to the fullest.
The two brothers Ma Tongbao and Lu Tonghe agreed on the lease terms with the owner of the property they liked the night before and signed the lease contract. Early in the morning of the same day, they took the old brothers who defected to the house to set up the arrangement. The casino was thrilling, not the environment, so there was no need to decorate the newly rented venue. Just move the betting table chairs and place them, and then add some colorful things to decorate them.
At noon, seeing that the new casino had already taken shape, the two brothers Malu were relieved and handed over the rest to their trusted brothers. Then they returned to Lu Yao's home and reported to Lu Yao truthfully.
"It will open tomorrow? No!" Lu Yao's butt had just scabbed and could not withstand any touch, so naturally he couldn't get on and off the bed and walk. "You two won't let me lie down and see people, right?"
This was something that Ma Lu and the other two ignored. They just wanted to get the casino ready and open the business as soon as possible so that they could exhale the anger in their hearts, but they ignored the injuries of the boss Lu Yao. In the awkwardness, Lu Tonghe came cleverly and said, "Sir, we can try business first, and we will officially open the business after your injury is cured."
Ma Tongbao said: "This method is good. Sir, you can rest assured to recover from your injuries. Let us brothers leave the casino matters to the two of us."
Lu Yao sighed and said, "What's so good!? The casino opens the door and receives customers. Whether it's trial business or official business, it's always open. If I don't show up, what will the people in the martial arts world think of me? They will say, Lu Yao is such a thief. Let the two juniors show up and wait and see if there are any benefits. If there are any bad things, they will slip away. Tongbao Tonghe, who is in the martial arts world, is more famous than anything else. We have a quarrel with Cao Bin and quit Anliangtang. Although our reason is ours, outsiders will not look at me fairly. If the people in the martial arts world see me as a thief, then our casino business will be difficult to become prosperous!"
The gentleman is the gentleman, and the perspective and depth of looking at the problem are indeed extraordinary. After hearing this, Malu and the others were naturally convinced.
"Then how many days will we delay opening?" Although Ma Tongbao was unwilling to accept it, he was helpless.
Lu Yao pondered for a moment and said, "What the old saying goes, one can make a big move, and then it will fade again. If the situation created by the two brothers has been delayed again and again, it may be a situation of declining again and again... Well, although it is not good to see people, it is not embarrassing. So just postpone it for one day and the opening day after tomorrow. When I come out, you brothers and brothers will work harder to buy the best invitation and give one to each sect."
Malu and the other were shocked.
Ma Tongbao gasped and said, "Sir, will this anger Cao Bin and Dong Dabiao?"
Lu Yao's face darkened and he shouted, "Can you call Brother Biao's name directly?"
Ma Lu and the others suddenly felt a sudden stern. I wonder what Lu Yao meant, so I had to close my mouth and wait for Lu Yao to scold him further.
"The conflict between us and Brother Bing Bing should come to an end after the fight. After this board, Brother Bing's Anliangtang also protects us Chinese. Chinese in Jinshan respect Brother Bing Bing. How can we hate them because of that little conflict?" Lu Yao slowed down and his expression on his face was no longer so gloomy. "From today, no matter how brothers who follow me, Lu Yao, are you not disrespectful to Brother Bing Bing, do you understand?"
If they can become Lu Yao's right-hand man, then Malu and the other two are naturally extremely smart. Lu Yao's seemingly empty truth made Malu and the other two suddenly enlightened. In fact, when they recruited their old subordinates, Ma Tongbao said similar things. It may not be difficult to set up another mountain, but if they want to take a bite from Mafia's mouth, it would obviously not work without a strong backer, and they can only rely on Anliangtang for this backer.
But seeing Ma Lu and his two men show a sense of expression and nodding to express their opinions, Lu Yao then analyzed: "Brother Bin is a good-looking person. I have been with him for twenty years. Although he was expelled from the hall, he would not even throw away the word "brother" in his heart. Therefore, although he was annoyed, he would not have angered in front of outsiders. When he closed the door, he had the relationship with Brother Biao. He could only suppress his anger and pretend not to know. Remember, as long as we don't do anything that is harmful to the world, Brother Bin will always turn a blind eye to us."
Malu and the others replied in unison: "We understand, sir."
Lu Yao continued: "When we were chatting and talking about things yesterday, everyone was angry because of Brother Biao's unexpected arrival. After you two left, I thought calmly. Although we have a heart that dares to fight to the death, we have a body that is capable of fighting to the death. If we fight with Ma Feiya, we will definitely suffer the loss. So, we can no longer be angry with Brother Biao. We must use their power to warn Ma Feiya not to do anything randomly."
Ma Tongbao said sadly: "But, sir, we have sent the invitation. If those gangs don't come, how should we deal with it?"
Lu Yao sighed lightly and said, "It won't be here! Of course, they won't come openly. They will definitely send eyeliners to stare at us in advance. If the people from Anliangtang don't show up, maybe they will keep hiding. If the people from Anliangtang send people, they will definitely flock to us."
Lu Tonghedao: "The question is, will Anliangtang come? I think that Cao... Brother Bin can hold back his anger is the best result. How could he send someone again?"
Lu Yao said: "I just said that Brother Bin can only suppress his anger and pretend not to know. Of course, he will not send someone to come. But Brother Biao is different. He is my fellow countryman. We traveled across the ocean to America together. He cannot leave me alone. He looks rough and has little brains, but in fact he is quite meticulous. He will definitely think of a way, not only will he further anger Brother Bin, but also be able to take care of our face."
Ma Tongbao asked another question: "Sir, do we still need to send an invitation to Mafia?"
Lu Tonghe snatched: "What do you want them to do? If you invite them, they won't come. Wouldn't it mean we're bored?"
Lu Yao shook his head slowly and said, "Even if he is bored, he has to invite him. Since Mafia has come to Kingsoft to take charge of the casino industry, it is a gang in Kingsoft. If we invite him, he will not come, it will be rude. But if we hire all the gangs, we will be rude. We have just stood up on the hill, and we must be rigorous in doing things and speaking, and we cannot leave any inappropriate places and be criticized by others."
Ma Tongbao nodded and replied, "Thank you for your teachings, sir, I know what to do."
Lu Yao reminded again: "You two must remember that you should go to the door to deliver invitations in person. No matter what their attitude is or even what bad words are said, you are not allowed to refute them, you can only treat each other with courtesy. Do you understand?"
Malu and the others replied in unison again: "I understand, sir."
After receiving an invitation from Lu Yao, Dong Biao looked bitter.
Such things must not be used to ask Cao Bin for advice, and the boss must have sufficient room for maneuver.
Several core brothers at the hall learned about this and were all indignant, accusing Lu Yao of being too careless in his work. This was clearly to put Brother Bin and Brother Biao on the fire, and it was full of the meaning of sowing discord from it.
Dong Biao smiled bitterly and persuaded: "Your Brother Yao is forced to do so. They are used to eating the casino's job and they will definitely not be happy to let them change careers and work as workers in the glass factory. If they turn them into brothers in the inner cousin, they will not be able to do this, so they can only return to their old careers."
The brothers were still not convinced, and one of them said, "Then they shouldn't be so arrogant? They opened the casino in silence. Brother Bin and Biao, you two turned a blind eye. With our relationship, I believe that Mafia wouldn't dare to do anything to them, why did they make such a big noise?"
Dong Biao sighed: "Who can be ruthless than plants? To be honest, Brother Bin did not do the right thing in the transformation of the hall. It is normal for Lao Lu and his brothers to have complaints. Doing this is nothing more than just trying to exhale the depressed aura in their hearts."
When the brothers heard Dong Biao's words, they all felt a sudden slap in their hearts. This was the first time in so many years that they heard criticism of Brother Biao from Brother Biao. Could it be that there was a conflict between Brother Biao and Brother Bian?
Dong Biao seemed not to see the changes in his brothers. He just vented himself, lit a cigarette, took a sip, and continued, "In theory, the opening of this new casino invites various sects to congratulate him. It is a rule, but why is Old Lu so unreasonable? He has to ask me such a difficult problem." After saying that, Dong Biao sighed heavily.
At this moment, Luo Lie went downstairs and seemed to be about to go out. When Dong Biao saw it, his eyes rolled around for a few times, and a countermeasure came up in his mind. "Young Master, where are you going?"
Luo Lie replied with a smile: "Go to the seminary to listen to Simon's lectures and make up for your sleep."
Dong Biao waved and said, "I'll delay you for ten minutes. Brother Biao has something to discuss with you."
The brothers surrounding Dong Biao were much older than Luo Lie in terms of age, and their qualifications were much earlier than Luo Lie’s entrance. However, everyone knew Luo Lie’s position in Brother Bin’s heart, and at the same time they were convinced of Luo Lie’s flying sword skills, so they took the initiative to give up their seats to Luo Lie.
Luo Lie sat down and asked, "Brother Biao, what's going on with me? If it's a matter of the glass factory, it's better not to ask me. I'm going to be driven crazy by Brother Bin now."
A brother asked curiously: "Brother Bin forced you?"
Luo Lie smiled bitterly and said, "He wants me to be an engineer in the glass factory. You said, isn't this going to drive a duck to put it on the shelves?"
"Puff--" Dong Biao squirted out a puff of cigarette to show his Coke attitude. Those brothers didn't know whether they were funny by Luo Lie's words or because of Dong Biao's exaggeration, they all smiled.
After laughing, Dong Biao handed Lu Yao's invitation to Luo Lie and asked, "What do you think about this is a mess?"
Luo Lie glanced at him and returned the invitation and said, "I only know this kind of thing, I dare not tell Brother Bin that he is now anxious because I don't agree to him as a glass factory engineer. If he uses this matter to provoke him, he will be annoyed. By then, none of us will live a good life."
Dong Biao said: "You still need to explain this? If you dare to provoke him, then what are the difficulties that our brothers are still here?"
Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then you can continue to be embarrassed. I have no good advice. Let's leave first!"
Dong Biao held Luo Lie down and said with a face: "I promised to delay you ten minutes. How many minutes are there? Can't we keep our word without keeping our word, right?"
Luo Lie smiled bitterly and had to do it well.
"Is this a matter, what's the difficulty?" Dong Biao sighed with a bitter look on his face, "Lu Yao is indeed not very sensible, but after all, he has been with Brother Bin for more than 20 years, and he has worked hard even without credit! Besides, when I was young, Brother Bin and I were the ones who took the blame. He suffered a lot in prison. With this, we have to think about other people's good things, right?"
Several brothers, including Luo Lie, nodded subconsciously.
Dong Biao continued, "So, someone has sent the invitation here, and we have to send someone to show our faces. But then Lu Yaogang was punished by Brother Bin for committing a crime and was expelled from the hall. So, it is definitely not appropriate for me to show off. It may cause Mafia's misunderstanding. I can only choose one from among you to give me the meaning."
Luo Lie showed contempt on his face, and he snorted coldly, saying, "Brother Biao, are you putting a trap and waiting for me to drill in?"
Dong Biao smiled apologized and said, "How dare you! Brother Biao is justifying you. If you want them to go, if you mess with Brother Bin, a beating will naturally be inevitable. But if you change to you, even if Brother Bin finds out, he will not be willing to beat you, right?"
The brothers quickly echoed: "Yes, yes! Brother Luo Lie, Brother Biao is right, you, even if you help our brothers a lot, brothers will definitely keep this love in their hearts."
Dong Biao said with a stern face: "How can you just remember it in your heart? Take me with you, we must ask the young master to have a big meal. The best restaurant in Kingsoft, let's choose the young master, how about it?"
Those who said in unison: "Sure, absolutely!"
At this point, Luo Lie felt as if he had been kidnapped and refused to agree. Dong Biao had no place to leave his face, and the faces of those core brothers of the hall would be offended. His special identity was not easy to get along with the hall brothers. If he could use his own temperament, he would be afraid that this subtle relationship would be even worse.
"I'll go there, it's no big deal. But, I'll give up the food for a meal. Which restaurant in Kingsoft cooks compared to Mrs. Zhou last year? If you really want to express your gratitude, it's better to cash out. One person has ten dollars, how about it?" Luo Lie showed a naughty expression. At this moment, he would not only not hurt them, but also be able to get along with them.
Those who couldn't help but look at each other, and everyone gathered together for a meal. In the end, Brother Biao must have won the big head, but each person had ten dollars, so he wouldn't be able to steal Brother Biao.
Dong Biao was immediately happy, slapped her hands and shouted, "No problem, just do what you said!"
Luo Lie stood up and said, "Then can I leave now?"
Dong Biao then stood up and said, "I'll drive you over."
The two of them left at once, leaving the brothers behind and continued to look at each other.
Almost at the same time, George Gambino also received an invitation to sign Lu Yao Daming. Although he had already talked to Cao Bin the day before and solved the biggest knot in his heart, George still felt an indescribable irritability in his heart when he looked at the invitation. He could not allow others to snore on the side of the bed. This is not only an ideology that only Chinese people have, but also the same when it comes to foreigners. The Mafia brothers have developed the habit of eating alone, so naturally they cannot understand Kingsoft's complex relationship environment. When they see Lu Yao's invitation, they were furious.
"George, they are simply too bullying!" George's brothers couldn't help but complain. It's no wonder, after all, they still developed a dominant habit on the East Coast. "I think we must give them some winks. Even if they can allow them to run this casino in the face of Tom Anliangtang, we must let them understand who is the ruler in the Kingsoft Casino business."
To be continued...
