Chapter 1709: VIP
Casinos also have casino rules, and even a bald manager must abide by the rules.
If anyone could take chips at will, the rules of the casino would be messed up.
Lin Ran nodded to show that he understood, then turned around and left.
After this set, Wu Ning became even more confused.
"Mr. Lin, is this really not your first time in this kind of place?"
He vaguely remembered that Lin Ran hated gambling the most, but judging from his familiarity, it was definitely not his first time here.
It was actually Lin Ran's first time here, but he had seen reports about this underground casino in the newspaper before.
At the time, I thought it was just a novel, but looking at it now, the novel really comes from life.
He relied on the method written in the newspaper to enter the casino.
But this is mainly due to the fact that he is Song Qiang's friend. If anyone else had used this method to get in, even if they got the chips, they would have been beaten to death when they went out.
After he got the chips, he didn't go to the card table to show off.
It's not that Lin Ran doesn't know how to play cards, he just knows that if he gets on the card table, it may be difficult to put it down in the future.
The main reason why he held the chips was so as not to appear particularly abrupt.
Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes. Being discovered by others that you are different is the most dangerous place.
He held the chips and walked among the crowd pretending to be serious, looking at the card table from time to time.
They also communicated with Wu Ning in a low voice, as if they were really gamblers.
Wu Ning didn't understand the rules at all, so he could only nod and answer casually.
In the end, they did not go to the table, but came to the card table.
There are two words on the wall: "Borrow money."
Below is the phone number left.
This is Lin Ran's purpose.
After secretly writing down the number, Lin Ran came to the front desk, returned all the chips to the front desk, and then said with a smile: "Save it for me, in Lu Xiong's name."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The receptionist smiled slightly and accepted all the chips.
Lu Xiong should be the name of the bald man just now. It seems that he invites guests to the casino to show off his style.
In fact, casinos are not always making money, and sometimes they are another place for money laundering.
Especially for those who are on the edge of power, their power is not great, but they are easily corrupted.
After getting the money, he used it outside and was immediately discovered.
And if you come here to launder money, you can legitimately turn it into your own property.
No handling fees are charged, just provide them with a little convenience.
This is the so-called rule of the arena.
After leaving the underground casino, Lin Ran told Wu Ning, "We are going to find the bank now."
Over and over again, Wu Ning was confused.
Lin Ran found Lijia's phone booth and dialed the number he wrote down.
I learned that the place was in a village not far from Zijinhua Entertainment City.
Although this village is not far from the capital, the development of the capital is not as prosperous as in the 21st century, and the rural areas are basically very backward.
For example, Xialin Village, where Lin Ran once lived, is a well-known slum.
When he was in school, he basically only saw vegetables when he ate every day. Sometimes he didn't even have enough to eat, so he lived a very frugal life.
After graduation, the commune system was abolished.
But even so, they still have to turn in the public food. The food they can keep at home is not much. Although they can exchange for some money, although it is not far away, most of the time they live frugally and are not as good as life in the city.
But this time when I came back, the situation seemed to have changed a lot.
First of all, many systems that were not implemented before are now advanced, and the industrialization process and the introduction of some systems are much faster than in previous generations.
This may be the butterfly effect. At least Lin Ran's family has lived a good life, which is very different from the previous life.
After driving to a nearby village, Wu Ning was even more confused.
"Mr. Lin, what are we doing in a place like this? Is Boss Meng hiding here?"
"How could Boss Meng be hiding in a place like this? He could only have been captured." Lin Ran said.
This was actually the first time he had dealt with an underground bank. In the past, the loan sharks in the village, namely Wang Mazi, would only hang a sign with the word "borrow money" on the door of their house instead of renting a house to sit in an office.
But now, they are at the door of a real underground bank.
Seeing them at the door, a man with a mustache came out and said in an extremely unfriendly manner: "Are you two from Bauhinia Entertainment City?"
"Yes." Lin Ran nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the boss noticed the car behind them, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
It turned out to be an Audi 100!
The Audi 100 of this era is a rare commodity!
Seeing the luxury car, the boss's attitude improved and he asked with a smile: "Do you want to borrow money?"
"Yes."
"Come with me." The boss opened the door to the yard.
There are no vegetables grown in the yard, which is far different from other villagers who have either vegetable plots or well water.
The living room was directly transformed into a business place, with a "dang" hanging behind it.
The boss casually asked them to sit down, and then walked to the back of the yard to get something.
Lin Ran took a look at the surrounding environment. Compared with the luxury of the entertainment city, this place seemed very empty.
But Wu Ning felt uncomfortable sitting in this place.
"Mr. Lin, what are we doing here? You don't really want to borrow a loan shark, do you?"
He is not stupid. When he saw the environment here and the attitude of the boss just now, he knew that this boss was really in the business of lending money.
"No, I will ask him clearly when he comes later." Lin Ran replied.
Coming here is a way to experience a life that I have never thought of before.
Borrowing money from Wang Mazi is already a loan shark, and this store is probably a loan shark among loan sharks. It's hard to say how much money you can get, but what you pay back in the end will definitely be a sky-high price.
I really can't understand people who would come here to borrow money.
The boss came back with a contract and a smile on his face.
Then he put the contract on the coffee table. He didn't ask them how much they wanted to borrow, but said directly: "Sign here."
"You can sign it, but before that, I want to ask someone." Lin Ran knew that it was full of pitfalls without even looking at the contract, so it was naturally impossible to sign it.
When he heard that he was looking for someone, the boss immediately became embarrassed.
Regardless of his mood, Lin Ran said directly: "Do you have a man named Meng Lin here?"
"I've never heard of it. If it's not a loan, please leave as soon as possible." The boss's face changed instantly, and Wu Ning was surprised by the contrast.
