Lou Yao smiled faintly and said, "You are the parent official, so you naturally have to make decisions for the people. I am accumulating merit and reputation for you."
Fang Zhicheng smiled unhappily and said, "According to your logic, I should thank you instead?"
Lou Yao smiled lightly, waved her hand handsomely, turned around, and went straight downstairs. Fang Zhicheng stood on the balcony, watching the two of them leave, his eyes deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Chapter 0796: Owing a debt is more cruel than collecting it
The dim room was not very large, with at least a dozen people sitting there. It was filled with the choking smell of cigarettes. They were playing Poker, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn because the situation was intense and there was a lot of money in the pool.
Liu Kai got a good hand of cards. He felt his body trembling a little. There was a full 300,000 yuan in the river. If he could win, he could still make a small profit after deducting the money he lost tonight.
The call is over, "Let's compare the cards!" Qiao Zhengyi narrowed his eyes and then turned over the cards.
"How is this possible!" Liu Kai's eyes showed surprise, and then he cursed, "Damn, my luck is so bad."
Liu Kai caught three Qs, which was basically an invincible card, but Qiao Zhengyi didn't expect that he had three Ks. He thought he would win the game, but he lost again.
Qiao Zhengyi was the big winner. All the money in the river belonged to him. The other two people who bet on the numbers also got a share of the money.
Qiao Zhengyi said with a smile: "Old Liu, you have lost almost all your money today, why don't you move to another seat?"
Liu Kai waved his hand and said, "No, I don't believe I will keep losing today. Where's Lao Xiao? I want to borrow 50,000 from you."
Lao Xiao chuckled twice and said, "Lao Liu, as far as I know, you borrowed 100,000 from Tian Gouzi yesterday. You haven't been very lucky recently, so forget it."
Liu Kai frowned and asked, "Why? Are you afraid that I can't pay it back?"
Lao Xiao laughed and said, "I'm not afraid that you can't pay it back. You are a famous boss who runs such a big factory. We are the ones who are making a profit. How can we not make money? I am just thinking about you. I am afraid that you will get deeper and deeper into trouble."
Liu Kai cursed a few words, took out his cell phone and called several other people who were playing the game, but he still couldn't borrow money. At this time, a phone call came in from outside, and Lao Xiao whispered, "There's movement outside, let's leave quickly."
This kind of mobile casino is like this, with a guard every ten steps. It seems that there are only a dozen people gambling, but in fact there are many secret guards outside. If there is any news, a phone call will be made to the casino immediately, and then the gamblers will have to disperse quickly.
Liu Kai felt unhappy when he saw that everyone was about to leave, but he could only give up. He thought to himself that he could only get back at it after some time.
After hastily cleaning up the scene, everyone got into cars. Qiao Zhengyi got into Lao Xiao's car and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you lend money to Lao Liu today?"
Lao Xiao held a cigarette in his mouth, puffed for a while, and said, "It's risky to lend money, especially for someone like Liu Kai. Now people in the circle don't dare to lend him money because his factory is not doing well and there was a murder case recently. Even if you know you can make money, what's the point if you don't get it back?"
Qiao Zhengyi sighed and said, "Is this what they call being forgotten when someone leaves?"
Lao Xiao patted Qiao Zhengyi on the shoulder and said, "Lao Liu is also unlucky. His factory used to be very profitable, and it was no problem for him to make tens of millions a year. But who would have thought that several similar factories would enter the industrial park this year, not only snatching their orders, but also poaching their employees. In addition, he has been unlucky recently, and he is probably in debt now."
Qiao Zhengyi was surprised and said, "That shouldn't be the case. He is still so generous. The meal tonight, including the drinks, cost almost two thousand yuan, and he just bought a new car a few days ago."
Lao Xiao smiled mysteriously and said, "If he really has money, why would he act like this? It is precisely because he has no money now that he deliberately pretends to be rich. You will see that within half a year, Lao Liu will definitely fall. I am a small-scale business operator, so of course I have to think carefully. I have also seen too many people, so I don't invest in everyone. Of course, Lao Qiao, based on our relationship, no matter how difficult your situation is, I am willing to lend you money."
Qiao Zhengyi thought to himself, "How can I trust you, you are so smart? When I get down and out, I'm afraid you won't be as straightforward as you say." Qiao Zhengyi smiled faintly: "Everyone knows that you, Old Xiao, are very loyal!"
In fact, everyone who gambles knows that there is no winning or losing in a casino, it all depends on luck. If you have good luck during this period, you can win big, but if you have bad luck, then just wait to lose everything.
The mentality of a gambler at the card table is always to hope to make back his money in the next round. In fact, this is like a drowning person: the more he struggles, the faster he sinks.
There is a saying that there are no winners in a casino, but this is not entirely true. The real winners are people like Lao Xiao who lend money at high interest rates. "Lending money at high interest rates" is a jargon in the underworld, which simply means lending money at high interest rates. Most gamblers end up ruining their families because of loan sharks.
If there is no lending, winning or losing is a matter of gain and loss between two people, but with lending, not only is there a loan, but there is also high interest, which, after compounding, becomes an unaffordable debt.
Of course, there are risks for lenders, and the biggest fear is that they cannot get their debts back. The money that lenders lend is not their own, but is raised from other people. If they cannot get their money back, those people will have to look for trouble.
In Lao Xiao's opinion, Liu Kai is in great danger now and might abandon his family and run away any day, so he cannot lend him money.
The vehicle was driving on the road and passed by a police car.
Qiao Zhengyi cursed, "It must be that guy Zhang Gun who spread the rumor."
Old Xiao nodded and said, "Zhang Gun lost too much some time ago, and he is resentful. It is normal for him to report us."
Qiao Zhengyi opened the car window, spat outside, and whispered, "How tasteless!"
Old Xiao laughed secretly in his heart, you have been lucky recently, but when you lose everything, you will probably be no different from Zhang Gun.
A group of people came into the circle. At first, they all walked in with their heads held high, but the number of people in the circle remained unchanged because there were always people walking out, and most of them walked out on their knees.
Liu Kai drove back, feeling a little depressed. He glanced at the time and saw that it was about three o'clock in the morning. Instead of going home directly, he went to a bath center that was open all night. After entering the bath center, the boss smiled when he saw Liu Kai. Liu Kai exchanged a few words with him and said, "Just give me a set of regular services."
I took off my clothes and took a bath in the bathroom. When I came to the independent small room, the familiar female masseuse was already waiting for me.
The female masseuse smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you haven't been here for a long time. I missed you so much."
Liu Kai grabbed her chest and spat, "It's okay, I'll make you feel like you're in heaven."
The female masseuse knew Liu Kai's habits, so she gave him a full body massage first, and then teased him up and down, igniting his desire. The two of them made love in the box. After all this, Liu Kai took a nap in the box, and when he woke up, he found that it was already past nine o'clock.
Although the factory's efficiency has dropped significantly, Liu Kai still has to go to the factory to take a look, because there is a batch of new products to be delivered recently. If there is a problem, the loss in the first half of this year will be even more serious. Originally, Liu Kai did not have to go in this situation, but recently Lan Daofeng, who was in charge of technology, died, so he had to go to the site in person to control the product quality.
When it comes to Lan Daofeng, Liu Kai also has mixed feelings. He originally planned to promote Lan Daofeng to the position of factory director and let him be responsible for the production of the factory, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten to death. However, this world is so realistic. The earth will still turn without any one person. Lan Daofeng is dead, and the factory can still produce and operate. It just makes him a little more tired.
When Liu Kai returned to Kaiwei Machinery Manufacturing Plant, he saw that several production lines had been shut down, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. After returning to the office, the security department at the door called and reported: "Mr. Liu, Lan Daofeng's wife is here again and wants to see you."
