Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhang Tie felt like a rat drilling into a tunnel.
He had seen the "splendid" underground bars on both sides of the tunnel and the underground bars in Blackhot City. It was the first time for him to come here.
The underground bars in Blackhot City were open 24 hours a day. It was the favorite place for those workers, clerks of business groups, small bosses of grocery stores like Donder, city guards who had taken off their military uniforms and got paid, and obscene rogues like Hista.
You could drink, dance, and rent a chartered room here. Just like the light here, this kind of bar was operated in two words — — ambiguous! It was not as direct as those on the fighting streets outside, nor was it as hypocritical as those in rich clubs and clubs. Everything here was done in the ambiguous light and shadows.
The women here varied from 15-16 year old girls who came here to make money during the holidays, 20-30 year old lonely married women who stayed alone in their bedrooms, and 40-50 year old coquettish aunts. Many prostitutes on the fighting streets would also come here for business. Nominally, the women here would only accompany you to dance or drink for a fee. However, in many cases, after dancing or drinking, if the atmosphere was harmonious and you were willing to spend 2-3 silver coins, you could usually get those women to sleep with you. Sometimes, if you met a thirsty young married woman, you didn't even need money at all. If you didn't want to spend the night with her, you could just sleep on the dance floor or on the sofa or booth in the dark corner of the bar. This was the conclusion of the obscene Hista.
The underground bars in Blackhot City were the treasured land for those lonely men and women to seek pleasure and earn money by spending money to buy laughs.
The moment Zhang Tie came out of the private room, before he figured out the direction, he had heard some strange sounds from the private room on the side. It was a rhythmic clapping sound and a woman's moaning sound.
Early in the morning, some men and women walked out of the chartered room and prepared to leave the bar. Outside, more and more men and women wanted to come in.
This underground bar was very large, covering at least 10,000 square meters on a single floor. The bar was divided into two floors. All the chartered rooms were on the lower floor. There were at least 100 chartered rooms in total. Since there were no proofs here, there were always people coming in and out. On the huge dance floor and in every dark corner around the bar next to it, there seemed to be men and women entangled and cuddled.
Some musicians were playing decadent music on one side of the dance floor. In Zhang Tie's ears, the sound of the saxophone sounded like the call of a wild cat.
Donder, you bastard!
This place was too ambiguous, too obscene, too tasteless.
Although Zhang Tie didn't know how Donder and the boss of the bar had reached a compromise, Donder told him that the chartered room was very safe. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't think about it anymore.
After coming out of the private room area and crossing the dance floor, he hurriedly got rid of a few scantily clad women standing on the dance floor corridor. Passing through two curtains, Zhang Tie followed some men and women into the underground entrance of the underground bar. The light at the entrance made Zhang Tie feel like seeing the sun again.
The entrance of the bar was at the intersection of Avenue Monet and Avenue of Stars. It looked like an underground shopping mall from the outside, but it was a different world inside. A few burly guys with various tattoos on their arms stood at the entrance to check tickets.
Early in the morning, some men and women who wanted to enter the bar had already bought tickets at the entrance. Each ticket cost 20 copper coins. After exiting the bar, the men and women kissed and separated at the entrance. This scene allowed Zhang Tie to know more about the rules of the game among adults.
As he had many things to do today, Zhang Tie didn't waste any time. The moment he walked out of the bar, he saw a tram bus approaching. Zhang Tie trotted a couple of steps and caught up with it...
Ten minutes later, Zhang Tie got off the bus at a platform near the Blackhot City Railway Station. He then directly walked towards the most boisterous warehouse and material distribution area in Blackhot City near the Railway Station.
This was a real boisterous commercial area. No matter who was the ruler of Blackhot City, there would always be trucks carrying various goods coming and going in this region. Both sides of the street were covered with signboards and service windows of various business associations and business groups.
Zhang Tie wandered on the street for a while and saw a signboard that read "Warehouse for Rent". He then walked in — this was an agency responsible for renting warehouses near the Railway Station. There was only one person inside, a 40-odd years old, thin, middle-aged man wearing glasses.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" Seeing Zhang Tie enter, the middle-aged man walked towards him enthusiastically. Zhang Tie looked like a young man who was dispatched by a business group to handle affairs.
"I want to find a warehouse!"
"Then you've come to the right place. I can guarantee that nobody is more familiar with the warehouses in Blackhot City than me! As long as you need it, I can find it for you! " The middle-aged man wearing glasses enthusiastically said, "How large a warehouse do you need and how long do you plan to rent it?
"I need a standard warehouse of about 400 square meters. I want to rent it for two weeks!" Zhang Tie answered simply.
"Do you have any special requirements for the floor of the warehouse?"
"It's best if it's on the first floor. It's easy to carry and has convenient transportation!"
"Do you need the warehouse to issue an insurance policy for the goods?"
"No need!"
"That's good. Please take a seat, wait a moment!"
The middle-aged man came to the back of the desk and picked up a book. Only thirty seconds later, he put it down and looked at Zhang Tie with a smile. "I have a standard warehouse that meets your requirements. If you only rent it for two weeks, the rent will be 4 gold coins and 40 silver coins. You know, short-term rentals are always more expensive. Plus my agency fee, you'll have to spend 4 gold coins and 64 silver coins. If you agree, I can take you to see the warehouse right now!"
"Fine!"
Zhang Tie's arrival allowed the man to make a deal early in the morning. Therefore, the man was very happy. After taking out a key from the drawer, he led Zhang Tie to a warehouse logistics area nearby.
The so-called standard warehouse was a fully sealed warehouse built with containers as the standard. This kind of warehouse only had a door for trucks and a small door for people. Other than that, there was no place in the warehouse that could see the light. Moreover, the warehouse's construction materials were generally made of high-strength steel tiles, which made it difficult for others to enter.
The warehouse that the man found for Zhang Tie was a standard warehouse of more than 400 square meters with a height of 10 m, a length of 40 m, and a width of 10 m.
The man opened the gate of the warehouse with the key and showed it to Zhang Tie. After walking around inside, Zhang Tie found that it was very clean and met his requirements. Therefore, he booked the warehouse.
After returning to the man's office, Zhang Tie gave the man five gold coins. The man gave Zhang Tie 26 silver coins and a deposit receipt of 10 silver coins for the warehouse's key and lock. If Zhang Tie returned the key two weeks later, the man would return another 10 silver coins to Zhang Tie.
After walking out of the agency's office, Zhang Tie had two more warehouse keys.
Coming to a nearby traffic station, Zhang Tie got on another bus. Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the most prosperous Avenue Bright in Blackhot City, where the famous Golden Roc Bank was located...
