Chapter 603 Monopoly(1/2)
Zhao Daming lamented: "Sir, I know I'm wrong, but according to the current situation, Luo Lie is the most suitable candidate. Moreover, he also said that whether it is Kingsoft Anliangtang or our New York Anliangtang, they are all under the command of the chief master. If a brother does not speak two families, he has no choice but to do things in our hall."
Gu Haoran said: "Luo Lie cannot represent himself now. He is not an ordinary brother. He is the successor chosen by Abin of Kingsoft. Not to mention that he has a difficult time explaining to Abin. Even if he uses him to do things, he has to say hello to Abin in advance!"
Zhao Daming patted his head and regretted, "I am really fascinated. At first, I really wanted to report to Brother Bin, but I was stopped by Luo Lie. He said that if I report to Brother Bin, there would be suspicion of Brother Bin's army and would make Brother Bin's dilemma. To be honest, I was moved by Luo Lie's plan, so I ignored these rules."
Gu Haoran sighed and said, "It's too late to say anything now. Daming, I want to send a telegram to Abin immediately and explain the matter to Abin clearly. If it's your fault, you must admit it honestly. Now we can only pray that Na Luo Lie can return safely."
The United States of America can apply for a private radio station, but neither the Anliangtang of New York or Anliangtang of Kingsoft is eligible for a private radio station. There is only one reason: Chinese people are the worst race in this country. No matter how rich they are, they have no right to enjoy high-tech services that only foreigners can be qualified to enjoy. Therefore, the radio stations installed at these two halls are illegal radio stations. Since it is illegal, there is a risk of being seized. Therefore, when Zhao Daming sent a newspaper to report to Cao Bin, a telegram could only send fifty bytes at most, and the previous telegram and the next telegram were separated by more than an hour. When the matter was explained clearly, the time was also on the evening of this day.
On this day, Cao Bin and Dong Biao were not at the hall. Only when it was too late did the two brothers return home.
The group of people who embezzled and seized the big smoke was obviously a group of people colluded with the military and police. We must not be in a hurry to deal with these people. It took Cao Bin seven days to figure out the composition of the group. The next time was to find evidence. After finding enough evidence, things became much simpler. You only need to hand over the evidence to the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration. Then, I believe that this group of people will never escape the legal sanctions, and at the same time it can effectively prevent this batch of opium from flowing to the Qing Dynasty and harming their compatriots.
However, finding evidence is the most difficult part.
The other party obviously would not place the evidence openly waiting for Cao Bin. Moreover, if he was careless during the search process, it would arouse the other party's vigilance, so the other party would inevitably launch a counterattack. With the power and resources held by the group of people, it would be easy to destroy Anliangtang.
Fortunately, Cao Bin also has the card Carl Stockton in his hand. If he can use this card well, it will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. However, Carl Stockton has had a lot of mood recently. Sometimes he is excited to fight with others, and sometimes he is depressed and wants to retire simply.
On this day, Cao Bin took advantage of the reason of investigating the site selection of the veil mill to travel around Jinshan City for a small half, just to try his luck and see if he could find out where the group had hidden the two hundred tons of opium before. Dong Biao took Carl Stockton out of the city and chatted with him all day, just to calm down Carl Stockton's mood.
The two brothers seemed to have made an appointment, and at around 7 o'clock in the evening, they returned to the hall.
After returning, the first message I received was a report that was made clear by more than ten telegrams sent by Zhao Daming.
After browsing the telegrams, Dong Biao's hands couldn't help but tremble. Cao Bin noticed something strange and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you hungry?"
Dong Biao sighed and handed the stack of telegrams to Cao Bin.
After Cao Bin looked at it, his face looked extremely bad.
"How could he do this Zhao Daming?" Dong Biao couldn't help but complain.
Cao Bin sighed lightly, lit a cigar, took a few sips silently, and said, "No wonder Daming."
Dong Biao responded angrily: "Why don't you blame him? He knew that Miami was a tiger's den, but he insisted on letting Luo Lie break through. This flesh did not grow in his heart, so he certainly didn't know how to feel sorry for him!"
Cao Bin said: "The Ming Dynasty is a person who can't hide too much trouble. If such a big thing happens in New York, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not hide it from Luo Lie. Once Luo Lie has such an opportunity, it means to seize everything. If you are just fighting, neither Zhao Daming will be the opponent of Luo Lie. Therefore, this matter is really no wonder Da Ming."
Dong Biao was stunned for a moment and said, "You mean Luo Lie is like you back then..."
Cao Bin nodded and said, "It's exactly the same. During that time, after killing my enemy, wasn't I trying every means to die? As long as I encounter something, I always have to rush in front, not use a gun or a knife, and fight with others naked hands and empty-handed, just to die happily."
Dong Biao smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! I was so troubled that time. I didn't persuade me, but I couldn't listen, but I couldn't stop it. It was a blessing that our brothers were desperate. They just rushed around and even survived."
Cao Bin took a cigar and lay on the sofa, saying a little worriedly: "After capturing Geng Han, I realized Luo Lie's emotional change. We happened to encounter this kind of thing again. I originally wanted to hand him over to Lao Lu to see, but unexpectedly, he actually offered to go to New York for a few months. I thought that the hall in New York was much simpler than ours. After Luo Lie passed by, at most it would be fighting or something. With the Ming and others in the protection, nothing big happened. But I really didn't expect that he would catch such an opportunity."
Dong Biao then lit a cigarette, took a few sips, and said, "Even Mafia dares to get involved in that ghost place in Miami. Luo Lie has passed by, isn't it a good fortune? Brother Bin, we can't wait like this, we have to think of a way to do it!"
Cao Bin smiled bitterly and said, "What can I think of a way? I'm so hungry now that I can't figure out a way? Let's have a meal first. If I have enough, then the solution may come out."
Mrs. Zhou warmed up the meal for the two of them and delivered it to the room.
Dong Biao held the chopsticks and a bowl, but he refused to give it a grain of rice into his mouth. He murmured: "He is to Miami by boat. The voyage from New York to Miami will take about six days or seven days. If we set off tonight, a car will be replaced and travel day and night, will we have time to arrive in Miami before that boy?"
Cao Bin knocked on the dish with chopsticks and said, "Will it be true or not? Let's discuss it after dinner, okay?"
Dong Biao shook his head, put down the chopsticks, and said, "No, I have to find a map to calculate it, otherwise I can't eat this food at all."
Cao Bin said angrily: "You're enough! I'll tell you the answer. If there is something wrong with the car, you can arrive in Miami in four days and four nights. You, A Biao, can't let go of that boy? I, Cao Bin, have such a big heart? I can't hold back!"
Dong Biao, who was scolded, smiled instead, picked up the dishes and stuffed the food into his mouth happily.
"But you have to stay, Abiao and Karl, you still need to hold him tightly, otherwise, that kid might have made up some trouble!" Cao Bin finished the meal first, put down his chopsticks, and picked up the cigar.
Dong Biao pulled the food into his mouth and said vaguely: "I left that kid Carl in that villa. I will not make any noise for a while. He has also asked for a long vacation with the police station, so there will be no problem. Brother Bin, you should stay. I have never been to Miami before, and I just happened to experience the scenery of Miami."
Cao Bin smiled and said, "But, I have never been to Miami, and I really want to appreciate the scenery of Miami."
Dong Biao put down the bowls and chopsticks, lit a cigarette again, and said happily: "Why, let's have a walk together?"
Cao Bin nodded and said, "It took only ten days and half a month to go back and forth. I can't worry about this matter now. It's better to go out and take a look. I can't say that I can come up with any inspiration."
Dong Biao stood up and said happily: "Okay, that's it, I'll go and prepare now."
Cao Bin said: "How many human skin masks did Wu Houdun make you?"
Dong Biao said: "Isn't that done with human skin?"
Cao Bin said: "No matter what skin it is made of, bring everything you have done. When you come to Miami, it will come in great use."
Dong Biao opened the door, as if thinking of something, suddenly turned around and said, "Brother Bin, are you planning to play hide-and-seek with Luo Lie?"
Cao Bin smiled and said, "What I want is to completely cut off his desire to die!"
Luo Lie took Gu Ting and Qin Gang to play in the casino for an hour, but lost hundreds of dollars.
This is the biggest money Luo Lie spent in his lifetime, so he naturally felt distressed. However, on the surface, he had to act like a rich young master who was stupid and didn't care about his money. He felt wronged and could only knock down his front teeth and swallow it.
Qin Gang also has a frugal personality and couldn't help but blame Gu Ting and said, "Aren't you known as the saint of gambling? The young master bets are all under your command. After losing so much, you should have an explanation."
Gu Ting curled his lips and said, "The Gambling Saint cannot guarantee that he will win every time? I said that nine out of ten bets will win. Who knows that he will catch up with that loss today!"
Qin Gang said: "You are obviously just a quibbling!"
Gu Ting wanted to make a fuss, but was interrupted by Luo Lie: "Okay, okay! You all say less. I lost money, but I still can't get peace, so I can't let me live? Let's go for lunch."
The quality of the food on the boat was pretty good, but it was much worse than the hall. The depression of losing money and the bad taste caused Luo Lie to put down the knife and fork without eating much. Gu Ting also ate very little, only Qin Gang, who ate more than Luo Lie and Gu Ting added to one piece.
After dinner, I returned to the cabin and went to bed for lunch. New problems immediately emerged. Qin Gang could fall asleep with a pillow. As soon as he fell asleep, the deafening snoring sounded. What's even more, Qin Gang's snoring was not regular and was often interrupted in the middle. When it was interrupted, it seemed like he had stopped breathing. When others listened, they were always worried, fearing that he would not be able to breathe again in the next breath.
Gu Ting, who was sleeping in the upper bunk, turned over, lay prone to the bed, and greeted Luo Lie, who was diagonally opposite the lower bunk, and said, "Young Master, I can't sleep anyway, so why not go and play for a few more?"
Luo Lie was amused and crying.
This is true for gamblers. They lose, want to win, win, and want to continue to win. In the end, all the hard-earned money they earned with hard work was sent to the casino owner's pocket.
"You haven't lost enough yet? You lost more than 100 yuan in an hour. Do you think your young master runs a gold mine?" Luo Lie lay halfway on the bed, and then read the book that he had not finished in the morning. He didn't even look at Gu Ting, and then refused politely.
Gu Ting refused to give up, jumped off the bed, sat next to Luo Lie, and said, "Young Master, you said Xiao Ting'er worked hard and was willing to take the risk to go with you like this. In addition to controlling food and accommodation, do you have to pay some wages to Xiao Ting'er?"
Luo Lie closed the book, looked at Gu Ting, pretending to be unhappy and said, "I won't bring you here, you're angry, you're bringing you here, you still want money. You said, "I've met you for eight lifetimes, are you so unlucky?"
Gu Ting smiled wryly and said, "What is the young master saying? How can you say that meeting Xiao Tinger is considered unlucky? Xiao Tinger is so familiar with Miami and can understand and speak Mexicans. She will definitely help the young master kill the traitor and get it back to the account book. At that time, Brother Ming still doesn't know how much money he will pay to thank the young master."
Luo Lie shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "But, I did this for money. If I didn't do it, then stop saying anything. If it is done, you, Brother Ming, will not give me money. Even if it is given, I will not ask for it."
Gu Ting's mouth twitched twice, suddenly changed his face, pounced on Luo Lie, hugged Luo Lie's legs, and said, "I don't care, you have to pay me your wages, otherwise, I won't remember any street in Miami, and I won't understand what the Mexicans say."
Luo Lie had no choice but to give in: "Tell me, how much wage do you want?"
Gu Ting happily stretched out a slap. After thinking about it, hesitated and slapped another slap: "Is it OK to have ten dollars?"
Luo Lie is a frugal person, but frugal does not mean being stingy. Luo Lie will always do his best to treat his friends. Although Gu Ting in front of him is not very familiar, he still wants to follow him to go out even though he knows how dangerous the trip to Miami is. With this alone, Luo Lie should treat him as a friend. However, this child is eccentric and must not treat him with common sense, otherwise he will inevitably be teased by him. "I wonder if Brother Biao was like him when he was young!" Luo Lie sighed in his heart, but his hand was unconsciously put into his pocket and took out a stack of US dollars.
"I'll give you twenty dollars, but there is a condition. You are not allowed to go to the casino!" Luo Lie handed over the US dollar bill and suddenly took it back. After thinking about it, he sighed and continued: "Forget it, I can see that if you don't let you enter the casino, you may be sick. Let's make three rules. If you lose this money, you are not allowed to ask me for money again."
Gu Ting happily took the twenty dollars, hugged Luo Lie's legs and kissed them symbolically, and then ran out of the cabin quickly.
Luo Lie, who stayed in the cabin, was already quite upset. He was disturbed by Qin Gang's snoring, and he was even more restless, making him unable to even read the book, so he simply put on his coat and went to the deck. The snowflakes in the sky were gone, and the drizzle was mixed with faint ice particles. Without the white reflection of the snowflakes, the colors on the sea surface seemed a little dark. The wet and cold sea breeze temporarily blew away the upset in Luo Lie's heart, but Alice's figure appeared unconsciously in front of him.
At some point, Gu Ting appeared behind Luo Lie. Judging from his expression, his mood was also very depressed, even comparable to Luo Lie. Luo Lie realized it and determined that the aura behind him should belong to Gu Ting, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "Why are you so fast? You lost again?"
Gu Ting sighed lightly, stepped forward two steps, and stood side by side with Luo Lie to the side of the ship. "Victory and defeat are commonplace!" Gu Ting smiled, obviously, his smile seemed a little stiff like Luo Lie.
Luo Lie said: "We have to keep our word, Xiao Tingzi, you are not allowed to ask me for money to gamble again."
Gu Ting pouted and said, "Don't call me Xiao Tingzi, it sounds so ugly. It looks like the name of a little eunuch, I don't like it!"
Luo Lie said: "Oh, it's very good. Do you still know about eunuchs?"
Gu Ting snorted and said, "I have never eaten pork and haven't seen pigs run away? I've been a person who has read books. There are so many books on Brother Ming. I learned about the eunuch from the books. What's so strange about it?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "But I just want to call you Xiao Tingzi, what should I do?"
Gu Ting smiled and said, "That's simple, give me another twenty dollars, whatever you like."
Luo Lie curled his lips and said, "I think beautifully!"
But Gu Ting responded sweetly: "Ah!" Hey!" He stretched out his hand at the same time.
Luo Lie was stunned, then woke up, stretched out his hand and slapped Gu Ting, and said, "You are really stupid and you have a lot of money when you are a young master? Save it, it's better to stay wherever you are cool."
Gu Ting was not angry, and replied with a smile: "It's winter, it's cool enough to stay anywhere."
When he was bickering with Dong Biao, Luo Lie had never suffered any losses, but when he was bickering with Gu Ting, Luo Lie had never made any profit. Young people would be more or less competitive, and Luo Lie was no exception. Looking at Gu Ting with a smiley face in front of him, although Luo Lie could not move, he also had the idea of teasing him well.
"Xiao Tingzi, you like gambling so much, why don't we two bet together in the same game?" Luo Lie seemed careless, but he was shocked and planned a scam.
Gu Tingxi said: "Okay, what are you betting on? How to bet on?"
Luo Lie said: "You sit down first, I will count three times, bet that you will stand up if you are within three times."
Gu Ting said: "You have a deeper skill than me, so of course you can lift me up."
Luo Lie shook his head slightly and said, "I don't do anything, I just move my mouth."
Gu Tingxi said: "Then you are sure to lose? Tell me, what are we betting on?"
Luo Lie said: "If you win, I will lose to you another twenty dollars. If I win, I will not be cheating on money from now on."
After hearing this, Gu Ting sat on the deck without hesitation, then stretched out his little finger on his right hand and said, "Young Master, although you have a lot of money, you are stupid, but you are not allowed to cheat!"
Luo Lie nodded, hooked Gu Ting, smiled and said, "Then it starts."
