Chapter 1822 The Master of the Past
One o'clock in the afternoon, Mingjiang Hospital.
After visiting Zhao Dadiao and his wife and a group of brothers, Lei Jiuzhi walked out of the hospital and invited Ye Tianlong to dinner at a nearby restaurant.
"Mr. Ye, thank you for today."
At the table, Lei Jiuzhi respectfully raised his glass and said to Ye Tianlong, who had been busy for half a day: "If it weren't for your help, I would have lost my life."
"This glass of wine is for you."
The phone call from Xue Hu made Lei Jiuzhi realize that Xue Shuang really wanted to kill him.
Ye Tianlong raised his glass and clinked it with his smile: "Master Lei, you're too polite. We are friends. It's normal for you to help me and I to help you."
Lei Jiuzhi sighed: "You and I have only met twice. How can Jiuzhi allow you to take such a risk?"
Ye Tianlong's words were very sincere: "Friends are not measured by how many times they have met. The most important thing is whether the two people are sincere and sincere."
"Although you and I have only met twice, you took my matter seriously and turned Zhao Dadiao and his wife from scumbags into normal people."
He looked at Lei Jiuzhi calmly: "This shows that Master Lei really regards me as a friend."
"When you are in trouble, I will naturally help you."
Lei Jiuzhi had a touch of emotion on his face, and then filled the two people's glasses: "My little favor is really insignificant compared to what you did today."
"Jiuzhi will remember Ye Shao's righteousness and friendship. From now on, we are brothers. If Ye Shao needs Jiuzhi, just let me know."
Lei Jiuzhi laughed at himself and said, "Waste, there are also waste uses."
"Come on, I will toast Ye Shao again to express my gratitude."
Lei Jiuzhi raised his glass, Ye Tianlong did not refuse, smiled and clinked it with him, and then drank the wine.
"Master Ye, Xue Shuang is an important lackey of the Xue family. If you kill him and his men today, the Xue family will definitely track you down."
After three rounds of drinking, Lei Jiuzhi kindly reminded Ye Tianlong: "You must be careful when you go out recently, and don't let them target you for revenge."
"I don't know if the police will intervene, but I know that using money is definitely better than not using money."
Lei Jiuzhi took out a check from his pocket, handed it to Ye Tianlong and said: "Master Ye, this is 100 million, not to thank you."
"It's used to manage relationships."
He was very thoughtful: "Xue Shuang No matter how many evil deeds they committed, they still killed dozens of people. "
"Brother, you really don't need this money."
Ye Tianlong smiled and pushed it back: "There will be no trouble today. I have the ability to handle it perfectly."
"So you keep this 100 million. Shi Hou and the others are injured and need money."
He looked at Lei Jiuzhi: "Believe me, the authorities will not intervene. I really can't suppress it anymore. Can I come to you for this 100 million to smooth things over?"
Lei Jiuzhi looked at Ye Tianlong with a thoughtful look. He could suppress dozens of lives. Brother Ye's ability is beyond imagination.
At this time, Ye Tianlong changed the subject: "By the way, brother, I'm not gossiping, I just want to confirm one thing, do you have a grudge with the Xue family?"
"You have 33% of the shares of the Xue family casino?"
Lei Jiuzhi's mouth twitched, and after taking back the check, he took a sip of wine, and then exhaled a long breath, without hiding anything from Ye Tianlong:
"To be honest, brother Ye, the Xue family casino was actually founded by me, and its predecessor was called Tianlei Casino."
Ye Tianlong was slightly startled, this name is really fresh... They have a lot of money, and you are thunder rolling.
Lei Jiuzhi did not see the change in Ye Tianlong's expression, but he sank into the distant memories:
"Back then, there was only one casino in the whole of Aocheng, the Feng family, and the gambling king was the shadow governor known to all in Southeast Asia. The Feng family completely monopolized the gambling industry in Aocheng."
"Later, the Aocheng government wanted to allow a hundred schools of thought to contend, and the Feng family also wanted to expand its scale and rise to an international level, so they issued three gambling licenses to test the waters."
"I tried my best to get a card from the official."
He exhaled a long breath: "I knelt in front of the Feng family for three days and three nights before I got the approval of the gambling king to operate a casino."
"Although it felt like kneeling down to beg someone to let me pass my fingers and give me some meat scraps to eat, I knew it was an opportunity."
"Huaxia is so big and the international market is so broad. As long as you can survive the initial operation, you will make a lot of money sooner or later."
"So I took my beloved woman and my best brother together Fight hard. "
A trace of pain flashed across Lei Jiuzhi's eyes: "The woman I love is Zhang Xin, and my best brother is Xue Hu."
"One of them is responsible for logistics, and the other is responsible for daily operations, while I deal with both the black and white worlds, and often go abroad to attract high-rollers."
"In order to make the casino more popular and to better maintain the stability of the casino, I also squeezed out time to learn gambling skills."
There was a hint of luster on his face: "I am still talented in gambling skills. After learning for less than half a year, I became the Southeast Asian gambling champion of the year."
"With this name in the venue, the old cheaters and the underworld dare not come to the venue to make money, and the business is getting better and better."
"I often go out. In order for Xue Hu and the others to be able to deal with emergencies, I told them all the secrets and operating experience of the casino. "
Ye Tianlong nodded gently, without questioning that Lei Jiuzhi looked ferocious, but he was actually a man who valued friendship.
Lei Jiuzhi took a sip of wine: "After four years of operation, the casino has completely stabilized, with more than 1 billion yuan in profits every year."
"In order to make everyone more motivated, I not only took out 300 million yuan to reward the casino employees, but also divided the shares equally between Xue Hu and Zhang Xin."
"I enjoy the hard work of my career more than the cold money. Moreover, they are my brothers and my women, and they are worth sharing with me."
"So I made a change in the law so that one percent went to the casino employees as dividends, and the remaining 99 percent was divided equally among the three."
There was a hint of joking in his eyes: "One person owns 33% of the equity."
Ye Tianlong shook his wine glass: "Xue Hu betrayed you later?"
"Two people."
Lei Jiuzhi drank the wine in one gulp. Even though they were separated by many years, it still hurt to talk about it:
"That year for Zhang Xin's birthday, I brought a group of high-rollers back from Japan, and I also brought a South African diamond ring. I wanted to surprise her and propose to her."
"Unexpectedly, on their birthday, Xue Hu and Liu Xin knelt down and told me that they had been in love for a long time and that Liu Xin was pregnant with a child."
He spoke with difficulty: "They asked me to fulfill my wish, and they also told me that to truly love someone is not to dominate her, but to give her happiness."
Ye Tianlong sighed softly. Fortunately, he and Lao Lei had different concepts. If he loved her, he would have sex with her. He was so stupid that he wished her to have other men.
"I forget how I reacted."
Lei Jiuzhi recounted his experience: "I only know that the last person left the casino in despair, and then went to the bar street in Macao to get drunk."
"The next day, Xue Hu came to me and said that he hoped that I would take the initiative to leave Tianlei Casino for the sake of Liu Xin's mother and son, so as to avoid embarrassment."
He coughed and said, "He will give me dividends every year based on his equity share, so that I can have enough food and clothing without having to do anything."
"If I don't agree, he and Liu Xin will join forces and try their best to kick me out. In the worst case, we will both lose and the casino will collapse."
Ye Tianlong was indignant: "This guy is really hateful. He wants to see your feelings for the casino, so he threatens you like this."
Lei Jiuzhi poured himself a glass of wine: "Yes, he is just a scoundrel. He just doesn't care about anyone."
"But I wasn't angry at all at the time. It was probably because I felt that my beloved woman and brother were both gone, so why would I need a casino?"
“And I really don’t want Tianlei Casino to collapse due to internal strife.”
"So I left Macao alone and wandered around in several big cities in China. I even got drunk for seven or eight years."
He changed the subject: "I was going to stay drunk until I died and forgot everything, but I met an old monk in Dali."
Ye Tianlong was stunned: "Old monk?"
There was a gleam in Lei Jiuzhi's eyes: "Yes, a very wise and profound old monk. He begged for alms in a market in Dali."
"I felt depressed at the time, so I took out the last coin I had, threw it into his alms bowl, and then cried and told him my pain."
"I spoke for almost half an hour, but the old monk didn't say a word after hearing this. Instead, he beat me into a pig's head with his merciful palm."
Lei Jiuzhi recalled the situation that year: "After the beating, he threw the one-yuan coin back to me."
"The coin just happened to stand in a gap so I could see both sides."
"I had an epiphany at that time. The master reminded me that a coin has two sides, and people also have pros and cons."
"You are against the world, and the world is against you. If you are good to the world, the world will be good to you."
Lei Jiuzhi straightened his body slightly: "So I decided to start a new life, and finally came to Mingjiang to live a stable but prosperous life."
"I don't know when I can see that master again..."
