Not long after Kubal came to power, the Saint Nulin Fantiles Social Service Bureau, the Social Service Bureau of the Imperial Capital, announced that the urban area of the Imperial Capital must expand to a certain extent in order to meet the needs of Imperial Capital residents for living space.
After the imperial capital expanded, the countryside turned into suburbs, and the suburbs turned into urban circles. Those areas that once belonged to outside the ring suddenly became the urban center of the inner ring.
Such changes have brought many unexpected changes to the residents of the imperial capital. First of all, the houses they live in have increased in value to varying degrees.
Houses that might have sold for only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in the past can now be sold for 40,000 to 50,000 yuan.
Selling your current house and buying it again in a peripheral area, or exchanging it with residents there for a premium, has become the most popular practice among ordinary residents in the imperial capital.
The rooms they live in are larger than before, and the community environment is better. While enjoying these better changes, they can also get tens of thousands of yuan to make up for the difference, which is full of temptation for many people. .
This has also led to the continuous increase in the number of rooms in the Imperial City Ring Line, and at the same time, the business atmosphere has become stronger and stronger.
As we all know, the Imperial Capital is a city with a long cultural and historical heritage. The closer you get to the center of the city, the older the houses become.
In some small countries, such old houses have become a shame on the national image, but in the imperial capital, people are more inclined to protect such traces of history.
Some seemingly inconspicuous houses or inconspicuous doors, once you enter, you will find yourself in a different world!
On a side street not far from Imperial Avenue, there are operators like this. Their "shops" are all old houses with three or four floors, and many of them have yards.
Every household has hung up some unique and unique signboards, which not only reflects the strong cultural atmosphere of this street, but also indicates the business they are running. This also makes the consumption here a bit scary.
But the people who really come here to consume are not really there for consumption, and those who enjoy it do not need to pay for it themselves. This also makes the prices of consumption in some more or less famous places keep rising just like the housing prices in the Imperial City. .
Among them, "Si Pu" has the highest consumption level.
Sipu is a comprehensive private place, which is very popular in the imperial capital, such as the private library where Dulin and Dolly met before.
This is also related to the special environment of the imperial capital. It is not only the political, financial, and cultural center of the empire, but also has many people who pursue fame and fortune gathered here.
In order to meet the demands of these people, these private places with entry barriers bloomed in the imperial capital.
Even the nouveau riche from the south who smells like copper are willing to discuss things in such an elegant environment. More importantly, this is the habit and custom of the imperial capital!
Sipu also adopts a reservation system and membership system, and has a high entry threshold. It is said that the real boss behind it is someone else. As long as you enter Sipu's door, no matter what the needs of the guests are, the boss will try his best to satisfy them.
Of course, there are some things that really cannot be satisfied, and you can’t blame the boss for not having the ability. After all, he doesn’t specialize in this.
But no matter what, Sipu's grade is high enough and the price is high enough.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Du Lin and his party came to Si Pu's door. Si Pu's business premises was a three-story building that looked a little older. There was a yard downstairs of about 200 to 300 square meters.
From the outside, there is only a very ordinary gate. On the side of the gate are written the two cursive characters "SP", and there is also a line of slightly larger standard fonts that says "Private Land".
Standing outside the yard, except for the fact that the lights upstairs were on, there was no sound at all. The local president told Du Lin that if you want to book a room at Sipu, you need to book a room at least a week in advance.
As for why it is necessary to arrive a week in advance instead of a month or two months in advance like some other places, it is purely because the quality here is too high and not everyone can splurge here.
Inside the open door was a counter similar to the one manned by the manager at the entrance of a restaurant. A man in a black vest, who looked to be in his fifties and dressed very delicately, took the initiative to greet him.
"Good evening, gentlemen, may I ask if you have..." He looked at the legs in front of him with some astonishment as they passed around him without even pausing.
He quickly straightened up and trotted to stop the group of people who were rushing in, but was stabbed in the chest by a young man holding a small stick only as long as a palm.
The young man raised his index finger to his lips and made a hissing gesture.
This made the butler-looking receptionist's face turn red. It had been more than a year since Sipu was opened. Some people had caused trouble here before, but these people had already paid the price.
No matter how those people treat him, he can always continue to stand here, but many of those people can no longer stand up.
He looked at the young man in front of him fiercely, thinking about how to inform the boss. At this moment, the young man suddenly punched him in the face, causing him to stagger back, with stars in his eyes and ears in his ears. Only a dull voice was heard, "I don't like the look in your eyes."
On the other side, Du Lin led people directly to the second floor. The entire small building has three floors, each floor is an independent space, and there is a suite of more than 100 square meters inside.
In addition to the entertainment room, there is a dining room, bathroom and two bedrooms. Here, everyone can enjoy the best of everything, and it is also the most unrestrained. No matter what you want to do, you can almost do it.
Dufo pushed open the door to the room, and a dull, heavy bass sound blasted out from inside the door like a thunderous roar, making most people feel uncomfortable at this moment.
Du Lin frowned and saw Merlin sitting on a set of sofas hugging each other, as well as seven or eight other men and women.
There were many wine bottles on the coffee table in front of them, some were empty, some had only half or a small half left, and some were soaked in half-filled wine, on those curled leaves as thick as a thumb. The gold-plated trademark silently told everyone present that they cost at least nineteen nine dollars!
Girls, some of whom had appeared in professional modeling magazines, sat among the men wearing fake collars and pants.
This place is not very far from Xie Lisi Street. Everyone knows that behind Xie Lisi Street is the largest "entertainment market" in the empire. There are all kinds of girls. As long as they have enough money, they can find them. The best girls serve the customers.
The lights in the room were a little dim. As Du Lin and his party entered, the two men sitting on the sofa stood up. Just as one of them was about to say something, Du Lin picked up the wine bottle on the coffee table and threw it at it. A cracking sound hit this guy's head, and he squatted on the ground covering his forehead.
His companion looked shocked, and when he was about to do something, a gun was already pressed against his head.
Du Lin looked at the girls who were shivering because they couldn't wear clothes because of the cold weather. He tilted his head slightly and said, "Get out..." and then after the girls had finished walking, he sat next to Merlin.
The three businessmen who invited him to spend money were sent into the bedroom inside. Someone was watching them. Dulin just wanted to chat with his brother.
He grabbed the top of the coffee table and lifted it violently. Merlin subconsciously ducked, then sat back down with some embarrassment.
Everything on the table was thrown away, and the tabletop, which was too crowded to fit anything, became empty.
He put the countertop back and asked Dover to get a bottle of wine and two glasses from the wine cabinet. He personally got some wine for Merlin, then put the glasses in his hand, "Let's have a drink.", said He raised his head and drank down about fifty milliliters of spirits in the cup.
After Merlin was silent for a few seconds, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and put the cup back on the coffee table with a blushing face.
"You are my brother. As a younger brother, there are some things that I shouldn't say, but now it's time for me to say them. Merlin, my brother, have you been drunk recently and haven't woken up?"
Du Lin sat back on the sofa and exhaled. It seemed that the breath he exhaled was filled with heat. The sip of wine just now heated up his whole body. He felt that as long as he had a lighter, he could exhale. Able to breathe fire.
Merlin sat quietly, his half-drunk and half-awake brain gradually beginning to calm down. He wiped his face vigorously with both hands to sober himself up, "I don't understand what you mean."
"Family, career, career, family, have you overlooked anything?" Du Lin lit up a cigarette. To be honest, he was not good at drinking. After taking this sip of wine, he started to feel faint for no reason. He needed to use the cigarette to suppress the alcohol. strength.
Merlin pursed his lips. He also sat on the sofa and looked at Dulin, "I don't think I did anything wrong..."
Du Lin nodded a few times, then shook his head. He took a few puffs of the cigarette in his hand before stubbing it out on the table. "In recent times, newspapers have said more than once that you take some women to and from various places. The whole world's Everyone knows you cheated, but now you tell me...it's nothing?"
In the empire, the people's values are relatively correct. No matter how chaotic a person's private life is before marriage, or even if he has slept with a dog, people will not use harsh words to criticize him, because it is his of freedom, as long as the other side is resourceful, he is not harming anyone.
But once you enter the state of marriage, such behavior is no longer acceptable. Marriage is sacred and is completed under the gaze of the Lord of Heaven and Righteousness or the gods. It is not just a simple ritual, but also represents a certain tradition and society. recognition.
People who cheat in their marriages find it difficult to gain a positive reputation and lose public trust.
Trust is the most important thing in this honest society. Once trust is lost, it will be difficult for anyone to make a difference.
Merlin is obviously playing with fire now. Although the public relations department of the technology development company has issued a public statement to protect Merlin, and has also sued several newspapers and magazines that added fuel to the fire, the matter has calmed down a little, but this does not mean that Nothing happened at all.
Once those women expose this matter for some reason, it will definitely be a positive blow to Merlin's image. No matter how much money he has or what his status is, people will despise him from the bottom of their hearts.
The reason for despising him is not that he did this, but that he did it and was exposed.
Merlin was silent for a while, then took the initiative to pour some wine for himself, "Some things don't..." He stopped mid-sentence, and the door to the room was pushed open again, and Sipu's boss and manager pushed in.
When he heard that someone was causing trouble in Sipu, his first reaction was that someone wanted to smash Sipu's sign.
It took nearly two years to put up the Sipu brand in a place with a complex environment like the Imperial Capital, and a lot of money and favors were spent.
In fact, many laymen think that they can definitely make a lot of money by running such a private place. After all, even a glass of ice water can be sold for one yuan and ninety cups. But in fact, only a very small number of people can make money.
In fact, all truly top-level private venues do not make money. Not only do they not make money, they also lose money crazily. Top-level private venues like Sipu have already lost four to five million in less than two years.
All private venues of the same level are losing money. If one day they suddenly make a profit, the boss will not be happy. Only by constantly losing money can the boss live comfortably every day.
So, what’s the point of running a place like this
In fact, it is of great significance, because operators have got rid of the most common level of profit standards, that is, they no longer prove whether it is a successful project by how much financial profit they obtain.
Here, to measure the success of a place and a boss, it depends on how many orders the boss avoids!
Money is a very scary thing. When someone spends tens of thousands here, and suddenly the boss says it is free of charge, no matter what the reason is, the organizer will definitely gain a lot of face, and the participants will also find this boss interesting. There’s something interesting here too!
This is good karma!
There are thousands of ways to make money, but there are very few ways to make connections.
So no matter what, the Sipu brand cannot be smashed. The boss was very confident when he opened the door and came in. The emperor couldn't use his gun, but there was absolutely no problem with slashing.
The people waiting outside the door were carrying daggers and swords. As long as he gave a signal, these people would rush into the room on the second floor.
If it is possible not to use force, it is better not to use force. After all, this is the imperial capital. After all, Si Pu will have to do business in the future. If it is tainted with the matter of fighting and killing, it will not be so good.
But when he entered the room, saw the person sitting on the sofa clearly, and was pointed at more than a dozen guns, he suddenly realized...the opportunity had come.
His seemingly domineering expression disappeared in an instant. He bent slightly and walked to the Dulin sofa set with a smile on his face. He said softly, "I heard that Mr. Dulin was coming, so I rushed over immediately. I'm afraid Those servants did not serve you well. I will be your waiter today. If you need anything, just tell me."
I thought there would be a conflict, but I didn't expect that the boss was a human being. Du Lin pointed at him and then at the door. The boss quickly nodded and bowed and left, not forgetting to say that he was waiting for orders at the door.
The door to the room closed slowly. He glanced at the silent swordsmen in the yard and immediately waved his arms to tell them to get out.
At the same time, he shouted again, so loud that even the soundproof door could not block it, "Governor Dulin's bill is waived today..."
If the renewal is successful, this book will have a perfect ending.
I was finally relieved. After biopsy and pathological analysis, it was found that the current situation is not too bad. It belongs to the first stage of precancerous lesions and is not yet within the scope of radical treatment. Taking medicine and cooperating with treatment can stop the current condition from continuing towards cancer. Development, thanks to my humble skills, I signed up for a gastroscopy.
I thought that my account would be deleted soon, but I didn’t expect that it was successfully renewed. It was so exciting! !
