"Brother Huan, what did you say?" I whispered in surprise. Brother Huan waved his hand, motioning me not to speak, and listen to him.
He leaned against the pool, closed his eyes, and didn't know what he was thinking, and then suddenly asked, "Xiao Wu, how long have you been with me?"
"Four years." I replied quickly: "Brother Huan, I have been with you for more than four years."
"Well... more than four years." Brother Huan seemed to smile, opened his eyes and glanced at me: "Xiao Wu, how does Brother Huan treat you?"
"Okay!" I replied without hesitation: "Brother Huan, you are very kind to me!"
I spoke quickly and firmly!
Brother Huan is indeed very kind to me. I'm just a kid who works in Jinbi Brilliance. After being favored by Brother Huan, I was able to go all the way to today because of Brother Huan's protection! If there is no Brother Huan, I'm afraid I still don't know where to serve the dishes!
Brother Huan sighed, and suddenly drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, pointed to the sauna room, and said, "Come in with me to steam for a while." Then he put on a bath towel and stood up, and I immediately followed. The two twin girls quickly wrapped a towel around me.
In the sauna room, Brother Huan and I sat side by side. Brother Huan picked up a wooden ladle and poured water on the pile of hot stones. He moved his hands as if he was thinking about something at the same time, and his mind was a little distracted.
One ladle of water, two ladles of water, five or six ladles of water were poured down, the steam filled the air, and the heat was unbearable! I feel like the air is starting to get hot! Every time you take a breath, your lungs are on fire! Sweat dripping down, as if instead of being in a sauna, I was thrown into a microwave!
"Brother Huan, it's done." I hurriedly stopped Brother Huan to continue watering... Just kidding, Brother Huan was obviously distracted, if we continue to pour water, I'm afraid the two of us will be cooked.
You know, in the sauna on weekdays, you can only pour two ladles of water at most. Look now, the wooden barrel that was put aside is almost bottomed out!
Brother Huan was still thinking, but he didn't seem to feel the sweltering heat at all. His eyes showed that he seemed to be thinking about something that was difficult to decide, but then he seemed to have finally made a decision!
"Xiao Wu, do you know that there are only two people around me who I really trust." Brother Huan said slowly, "One is Jin He. I was working hard in the south, and I saved Jin He's life. He just followed me. I only saved him once back then, but he has saved me countless times in these years... If he owed me anything, he would have paid it off long ago. But he is still loyal to me Geng Geng, it's just a pity that Jin He is loyal and listens to me very much, but I can't let him take care of my business, he is not good at it."
I didn't speak.
"The second one is you." Brother Huan suddenly smiled, and patted me on the shoulder forcefully: "You kid, I don't know what happened back then, when I saw you, I felt like I hit it off! Boy, it's good to be loyal to your own people and be ruthless to your opponents. You don't know how to be mother-in-law and mother-in-law. The most important thing is that you are young, but you are not as impetuous as today's young people! I will throw you in Don't you think it's strange that Jinbi's splendor lasted for four years?"
I said sternly: "Brother Huan, I know, you want me to practice more. Besides, I have made a lot of money in nightclubs. If Brother Huan didn't take a fancy to me, I'm afraid I would still be serving the dishes. "
"Yeah." Brother Huan smiled: "This is what I like most about you, don't be greedy! People are ambitious, and you are not afraid of ambition. What you are afraid of is greed! Ambition can make people achieve great things, but greed only It will make people do bad things, Xiao Wu, you have to remember this sentence."
I nod.
"Xiao Wu, tonight, I suddenly called you here because I felt that the time was almost up, and it was time for you to know many things about me."
I still nodded, but my face had calmed down.
Brother Huan glanced at the expression on my face, his eyes showed some satisfaction, and then suddenly laughed and cursed: "Damn it, why is the steam so hot today."
I smiled wryly, thinking that it wasn't you pouring water on the hot stone just now...
Brother Huan wiped his sweat: "Are you surprised that I said this place is mine just now?"
"Yes!" I nodded: "I think this place is very complicated and has a deep background. If you want to run such a place, I am afraid that you need very strong strength, and you need to be able to do it with both hands and eyes!"
"Hands and eyes to the sky... Hands and eyes to the sky... Hehe!" Brother Huan suddenly sneered: "Xiao Wu, I can't explain these things clearly in words now. I call you tonight, just to let you take a good look! We After washing, I will take you for a walk here to open your eyes! There are many things that you will not understand until you see them and I will tell them."
I nodded immediately.
Brother Huan smiled, he looked at me with something warm in his eyes, then stood up, and said with a smile: "Damn it, it's too hot here, I can't take it anymore, get out!"
Walking out of the sauna, Brother Huan lay down on the edge of the bathtub, then sighed: "Come here, wipe my back."
The two girls had been hiding in the pool for a while. Hearing Brother Huan's words, one of them picked up a bath towel and sat down beside Brother Huan. Brother Huan frowned, and said: "A woman's hands are too soft, she has no strength." Pointing at me, "Xiao Wu, come here."
It's not the first time I've taken a bath with Brother Huan, nor is it the first time I've wiped his back. Hearing that he was going to wipe his back just now, he had already gone to the side to rub the towel in his hands, and then brought a wooden basin and brought a basin of water.
But there are two girls staring at me, and I always feel uncomfortable.
Although it's not that I haven't seen women, and it's not that I haven't let women see them, but in this kind of place, it's always a bit awkward to have two women staring at you while taking a shower. I frowned: "You go out first."
The two girls were stunned, and looked at Brother Huan at the same time. Brother Huan was lying on his face, he waved his hand casually, raised his head and smiled and said: "Okay, go out, you go back to your room, get ready, Take good care of Xiao Wu tonight!"
The two women blushed at the same time when they heard the words, then quickly picked up the wine bottle and cup, wrapped them in bath towels and ran away.
I have already covered Brother Huan's back with a wet towel, and then I put my palms slightly flat and patted Brother Huan on his back. Brother Huan snorted happily, and sighed: "Xiao Wu, is your brother Huan getting old?"
"No way!" I laughed and said, "Last week, in the boxing ring, that punch almost made me unable to stand up for a long time!"
"Hmph, cunning brat." Brother Huan scolded with a smile: "You think I don't know? You kid has started to fight with me recently, and you have already started to learn how to release water!" Then he sighed: "Actually, I know it in my heart. , People are old, they are old! Look at my waist now, how much more fat is there than in previous years? Hehe!"
In all fairness, brother Huan's body is actually very strong and strong! But when you reach middle age, even if you are a bodybuilder, your body will inevitably become swollen day by day. I patted and kneaded Brother Huan's back with my hands, and felt that the muscles on Brother Huan's body were indeed much looser than before...
"Xiao Wu... You have to do whatever you sit on! But some seats, looking at the scenery, are actually very tiring. If you don't sit well, you will lose your wealth and life!" Brother Huan Although he was smiling, he seemed very helpless: "Who am I, Ye Huan? Hmph, back then I dared to go south with a thousand yuan to venture into the world. What kind of scene didn't I see? Life and death, blood and flesh flying everywhere... I don't know." I came over. But, sitting in this position in my hand, in this place, I am drunk every day, dreaming of life and dreaming of death, drunk and drunk, but it makes me feel like I am walking on thin ice!"
"How much money do the nightclubs, restaurants, and taxi companies under your brother Huan add up to? Tens of millions, this amount of money is an astronomical figure in the eyes of ordinary people! Hmph, if you are in those real In the eyes of the giants, I’m afraid it’s just the number lost in one game! Put it in this place, if you have tens of millions, hmph, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to enter the door of my hotel!”
There was a strange resentment in Brother Huan's tone, and then he took a deep breath: "Xiao Wu, don't you think it's strange why I said this place is mine? I'll tell you now!"
After finishing speaking, he asked me: "What do you think is the most profitable business in the world?"
"Arms and drugs." I said the answer immediately.
I'm afraid most people know this common sense.
Brother Ke Huan laughed, and then said with a mocking tone: "Wrong!"
Before I could refute, he quickly said: "What is the arms business? What is the drug business? Both of these can make money, but such money is hot! If you make drugs, you are standing on the opposite side of the national government! You No matter how rich you are and how powerful your influence is, you will never be able to stop the state apparatus! Drugs? Huh, if the state apparatus must kill you, no matter how big you are as a drug lord, you will die! Earn ass money!"
After taking a breath, Brother Huan continued to laugh and said, "As for arms... well, it can only be said that it is reluctant. In the arms business, if there is a country to support you, you can do it recklessly! But if one day the country does not support you, you can do it at any time." You can be completely wiped out! Don’t look at those arms dealers in the United States, because the US government is supporting them. You arms dealer, you arms dealer is just making money for the country."
After I listened quietly, I knew in my heart that Brother Huan must have other meanings when he said these things to me, so I asked, "Then what is the real profitable business?"
Brother Huan laughed, he raised his head, looked at me, there was something sharp in his eyes, and then he spit out four words: "Power money transaction!"
With a sneer, he slowly said: "There is no business in the world that is more profitable than the exchange of power and money!"
I didn't speak, Brother Huan's business echoed in the air in the bathroom: "Power, money, these two things are the most powerful capital in this world! If these two things are combined, the power will be even greater! Xiao Wu, Look at the place where you are now, do you know, every night, it is in this place, maybe in a certain room upstairs, maybe at a certain card table, maybe in a certain clubhouse, or even... Maybe on a certain bed, in this place, how many transactions are there every day? How many people’s fates are determined in this place every day? Hmph, if someone can count this number, I’m even sure that the annual transaction amount here , I'm afraid even if you add up the sales of all the venues in the city, you won't be able to catch up with the horses!
If real estate developers want to get a piece of land, they have to exchange the money in their hands for the power in the hands of high-ranking officials!
If a large company wants to evade taxes, it has to pay for the pen in the hands of the tax department's gentlemen! Otherwise, one stroke will be millions of numbers!
If merchants want to smuggle, they have to spend money to buy those guys through the customs, so that they can close their eyes when they need it!
Officials want to buy villas, raise lovers, and have mistresses, so they have to exchange their power for money!
Xiao Wu, you don't know how many interest groups are behind this place? How many people's interests does it represent? !
Hmph, anti-pornography and anti-illegals, it’s okay if you let them go to those places in the city to check, you let them come here? ! In the parking lot below, there are some license plates... Huh, let alone the person in the car, if you send the driver out, you can walk sideways!
Xiao Wu, let me tell you, the business in this place is trading power for money! "
