"It doesn't matter. I am a person who doesn't follow the rules. Also, I am not a civilized person." I said faintly.
The leader stared blankly and looked at me, but didn't say anything.
"The two of you, our boss is waiting for you inside!" Arriving in front of an office, the leader stopped and said to us.
I glanced around. This wasn't an office on the top floor of the resort. It was just an office with a sign that read 'Surveillance Room'.
I indifferently pushed open the door and walked in. Inside the office, a man in his thirties was sitting, looking at several big screens in front of him. Seeing me come in, he nodded to me and said, "Sit down, the two of you!"
I didn't refuse and sat on the sofa next to him. Yang Mei was very cautious, fearing that the person in front of her would harm us.
"The two of you won a lot of money, right?" The man looked at us and said condescendingly.
Just as Yang Mei was about to speak, I waved my hand to stop her.
"It's not that much, just 4 million," I said calmly.
"Just 4 million! Hehe, the two of you sure have a big tone! "The man expressionlessly laughed twice.
"Is it a lot?" I asked.
"What should I say? A person shouldn't be too arrogant. This isn't Las Vegas or Macau. We can't afford to lose money like you, nor do we want to lose money." The man said straightforwardly.
"Open the door and do business. If you don't have the ability, then don't come out and lose face. To be honest, this amount of money is nothing to me. But as a casino, you don't even have the least bit of credibility. How can you become big and strong? "I looked at the man in front of me and said with some displeasure.
"You don't need to worry about this! What I pursue is profit! Maximizing profit! "The man said proudly.
I was speechless after listening to him! Why was it that since the reform, there were clearly many profitable industries, but in the end, they were all ruined! Although gambling belonged to the side door, the principle was the same.
What was the brand effect! These people were simply stupid to a certain extent! Businessmen pursuing profit was good, but sacrificing their reputation in exchange for profit was a bit undesirable.
The man's "I don't want to pay either" made me very angry. This was simply robbing. If this continued, who would dare to come here to gamble? Although those world-class casinos didn't allow you to treat them as your personal ATM, they would still give you what you won. They would also give you a large sum of money as a filial piety. They hoped that you wouldn't come here to "crash" in the future!
Using both the carrot and the stick, this was the way of management. If a man behaved like this, the casino would be finished sooner or later.
What's more, those who came here weren't high-ranking officials or dignitaries. These people didn't care about money, but face. If you disrespected them like this, how could they take it lying down?
"In short, leave the money and leave!" The man said concisely.
"What if I don't?" I glanced at the man and said.
"Then don't leave!" The man said as he pressed the communicator on the table.
The door to the monitoring room was pushed open. It was the same black-clothed men from before. They rushed in and blocked the door!
"How did Ding Baosan find a bunch of bastards like you?" I stood up and said coldly.
The man stared blankly and then looked at me with a strange expression. Ding Baosan's name was like thunder to his ears. Although he hadn't seen him in person, he was the boss of the organization. How could he not know him?
A lot of conflicts between underworld gangs were solved by "kidnapping" each other. Most of the time, two groups of people who were about to fight each other knew the same person, so they couldn't fight.
Although the man didn't know the relationship between me and Ding Baosan, he couldn't help but take it seriously when he heard me mention it!
"Excuse me, do you know … Chief Ding?" The man asked tentatively.
"More than just know him! But I can't tell you the specific situation. You don't need to know. I know what you are thinking. You just want to ask me about my relationship with Ding Baosan and then consider whether or not to make a move on me! " I said coldly, "But you are wrong. Your thinking is wrong. Although our Three Rock Gang is an underworld force, we have already started to move towards a legitimate business. You still want to play this game? Aren't you just cutting off your own source of income?"
Here, I deliberately emphasized the word "we". I thought that if this man wasn't a fool, he would definitely understand the meaning behind my words! Although I didn't directly answer his question about my relationship with Ding Baosan, I had indirectly explained my relationship with the Three Rock Gang!
Sure enough, the man's complexion changed as he stood up and solemnly said, "You came from the headquarters?"
"No," I denied his guess, "I just came here to play."
"Then you …" The man didn't give up and asked.
"You still haven't realized where your mistake is. Second, you are blindly inquiring about my identity! I have already said it very clearly. Whether it is a company or a gang, if you want to develop, you must first talk about integrity! Do you think that you can ignore the rules of the underworld just because you have a background in the underworld? " I said with some displeasure, "You should know that although you think that doing this may reduce the company's losses, you will lose a customer. More importantly, you will lose your reputation! If this continued, the result would be fewer and fewer people coming to the Nine Cauldrons, until it was completely deserted! Don't think that I am just an alarmist. Throughout history, how many famous shops, even century-old shops, have gone to the end because they bullied their customers? "
"I …" The man's face was slightly sweaty.
"You what? Don't tell me that you don't know this! "I said with some anger.
"I … I really don't know!" The man replied hesitantly, "Big Brother, you also know that we are all rough people. I just want to reduce the company's losses as much as possible. Who would have thought that there would be so many explanations!"
The man's address to me changed to "Big Brother" because in his opinion, even if I wasn't sent by the headquarters, it was only natural for him to call me Big Brother because I knew Ding Baosan!
I looked at the man's current appearance and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Maybe this guy was telling the truth. He was a rough person who didn't know anything about management. However, his original intention was good. The reason why he did this wasn't for himself. The money he got back wouldn't be in his own pocket. In the final analysis, he was sincerely thinking about the company!
Thinking of this, I didn't want to make things difficult for him anymore. Just as I was about to comfort him, the door of the monitoring room was pushed open.
I saw Yu Dezhi, also known as Manager Yu, rushing in. When he arrived in front of the man, he gave him two slaps and scolded, "You really have guts, daring to capture Chief Liu!"
