  Chapter 156 How much did you say? (want to subscribe)

   "Boss, I'm here to play, and the money must be paid."

  Hu Cong's performance was good, and Zhou An'an's words were very open.

   "Then I will accept it first."

  Looking at the face of the other party, then at the smiling Hu Cong, the middle-aged boss took the stack of money, counted five thousand, and returned the rest.

   At this time, some people realized that something was wrong, and those who hadn’t lost money quietly got up and asked the boss to refund the money.

  Only four or five people lost money, and they didn't care about the outside things at all, waiting for luck to get back their money.

   After all, there is a big host and guest bet, more or less it can leak out, just follow the opponent and bet against it.

   Gamblers, there is never a shortage of people who are not afraid of death.

"Hey."

   Looking at the indifferent gamblers next to him, Zhou Anan sighed in his heart.

  If he doesn't stop it in time, maybe the cousin will be next.

  In his previous life, when he came home from college occasionally, he vaguely heard his father talking about this matter. In the end, his cousin stole more than 10,000 yuan from the family.

  After three or two repetitions, the uncle's family was wiped out, and even Zhou Anan's father borrowed a sum of money that he didn't know how much to settle his cousin's foreign debts.

  From the age of sixteen to twenty-six, this cousin achieved nothing, and finally got a job as a salesman in a factory, and his life gradually stabilized.

  In this life, Zhou An'an is going to correct the other party's faults once and for all.

   "There is also five thousand here, you sit down."

   Pointing to the vacant seat next to him, Zhou Anan said something to his cousin who had a somewhat frightened face.

   "Brother, I don't play anymore. I was wrong, okay, you tell my dad to let him hit me, whatever you want, don't get any more points."

   After all, he was a sixteen-year-old boy, and Zhou Shun was taken aback by this situation.

   Having never experienced much since he was a child, Zhou Shun would never have imagined that his cousin would know so many people.

   And seeing the frightened look of the game room boss, these people are definitely not easy to mess with.

  If the cousin borrowed usury from the other party, if he lost all the money, Zhou Shun couldn't even imagine what would happen next.

  At this moment, Zhou Shun no longer had any good wishes to make a comeback.

   "What are you afraid of, how much you lose, you have to earn back, be bold."

   Patted his cousin on the shoulder, Zhou Anan said with a smile.

  When the cousin dared not press, Zhou Anan raised on the basis of his selection.

  Five thousand, ten thousand, fifteen thousand...

  Zhou Shun, who used to dissuade him from time to time, has long been addicted to it.

   "You come out with me."

   After losing 20,000 yuan, Zhou Anan saw his cousin with red eyes and led him out of the house.

   "Do you want to earn it back?"

   Arriving in a quiet corner, Zhou Anan asked.

   "No, but your money..."

  No longer facing the machine, Zhou Shun shook his head again and again when his swollen forehead became sober.

   "You don't need to control my money, you just need to know that when playing with a machine, the human will always lose."

"I see."

   "No, you don't know. Come with me."

   The two re-entered the room, and the rest of the customers had already been invited away, leaving only the boss and Hu Cong.

   "Boss, do me a favor."

   Handing over a cigarette, Zhou Anan still had a friendly smile on his face.

"fine."

  The situation is stronger than the people, and the boss is also a person who knows the current affairs. Anyway, he will not dare to earn Zhou Shun's money in the future.

No one else was there, the boss opened the panel of the machine, pointed to a display screen with red numbers and said: "This is the winning rate, 60%, that is, the player bet 100 yuan, and the return is about 60 yuan. Some people are more ruthless than me, even 50% None. This is the amount already bet.”

   Coming out of the game hall, Zhou Shun was a little lost.

  He never imagined that some people have earned tens of thousands of game rooms from here, and it is so dark that everything is well designed.

  Man can never beat a machine.

   "What do you want to do in the future?"

   Didn't say anything comforting, Zhou Anan asked.

  "I'm going to work for my aunt, so pay back the money early."

   Gritting his teeth, Zhou Shun said his only way out.

  Just now, his brother lost 25,000, including his own, nearly 30,000.

   Among other things, he must listen to at least half of the money, which is fifteen thousand.

  At this time, Zhou Shun also saw that the cousin was doing it for his own good.

"Zhou Xiaoke wants to open a milk tea shop. You can be the manager for him. The monthly salary is 2,000 plus year-end dividends. I don't care how you spend the usual monthly salary. The 3,000 yuan you lost just now will be returned to you when the year-end dividends are distributed. I."

  Since his cousin was willing to work, Zhou Anan expressed his thoughts.

   There is no need to save people who are lazy.

"it is good."

  When he heard that he could be a store manager as long as he paid back 3,000 yuan, Zhou Shun's eyes gradually became more colorful.

  …

  Let my cousin go home by car and prepare to go to Hangzhou to learn how to make milk tea in two days. Zhou Anan waited for Hu Cong and his party outside the game room.

   "Young Master Zhou, I got all the money back. This is the 3500 that your brother lost, and the boss compensated 10,000."

  Hu Cong, who came out with a handbag, greeted him with a smile, and showed the meaning of the game room boss.

   "I'll take the three thousand and five, and I'll give you tea for the ten thousand."

   After taking the three thousand five, Zhou Anan didn't take ten thousand.

   There is some money, it is better not to touch it, anyway, he is not short of such a little money.

   "Then thank you, Mr. Zhou, you guys, thank you, Mr. Zhou."

  Knowing the other party's net worth, Hu Cong was not pretentious, and shouted at the younger brothers around him.

   "Thank you, Young Master Zhou."

  The rest of the people didn't expect to get money for a walk, so they happily thanked the young man in front of them.

   "How is the preparation of your bath going?"

  Now that they have met each other, Zhou Anan is also concerned about his previous proposal to Zhou Xiaoke.

Some younger brothers feel that delivering food is ashamed and does not fit their position. In addition, Zhou Xiaoke still has a lot of idle younger brothers who come to seek refuge in the Lizhou area. Zhou Anan gave him an idea to open an all-round bathing place. .

  This idea is not new. According to the trajectory of time, a large bathhouse will open at the end of this year, integrating bathing, dining, leisure, chess and card rooms, and a hotel. The business has been booming for at least ten years.

  After listening to the proposals of elementary school classmates, Zhou Xiaoke felt that there was a lot to do, so he asked Hu Cong to return to Lizhou to host a large-scale fundraising, and raised nearly a million dollars.

   For this reason, Zhou Xiaoke sold the house he just bought before the Chinese New Year and took half of the shares.

  The bathing place, which had been popular for more than ten years, was naturally taken by Zhou Xiaoke first.

   "Half of the decoration has been completed, and it will open in July."

  Speaking of this, Hu Cong, who has been promoted to the general manager of a business hotel, is even more grateful. Who would have thought that he would one day become a successful person while he was living on the streets.

  Those days of collecting protection fees to live a life, no matter how they think, they are so low-level.

   "Don't mess around with some things, so as not to cause trouble to your boss."

  Regarding this point, Zhou Anan doesn't know whether his proposal is right or wrong. At least for now, he is making suggestions for the stability and harmony of Lizhou society.

   "I know, I know, I must restrain my little brothers. If any **** dares to do bad things, I will break his dog legs."

   On this point, Hu Cong is definitely more concerned than anyone else.

   It's hard to clean up, how can I let others ruin my career.

  Whoever dares to sabotage is the sworn enemy of General Manager Hu.

   "By the way, do you have a familiar real estate agency? I want to rent a shop."

   Not wanting to meddle in the other party's affairs, Zhou Anan asked Hu Cong.

   "Yes, I'll call someone over now, what kind of shop do you want to rent?"

   "Let's go to the pedestrian street first."

  Standing at the intersection of the pedestrian street, Zhou Anan saw the agent rushing over and asked Hu Cong to leave first.

  Pedestrian Street was originally a commercial street built by the Lizhou government. It is modeled after the wooden structure at the beginning of the Republic of China. It has a total of two floors and occupies the most prosperous area in the center of Lizhou.

  Unfortunately, due to policy and planning mistakes, the pedestrian street, which was built only two years ago, has become deserted. There are hundreds of storefronts that no one cares about, and only the surrounding shops are still bustling.

   "There are a total of 35 storefronts on this street, and five of them are ready to be sold or sublet."

   Not knowing what relationship the other party has with Hu Cong, the young man acting as an intermediary said cautiously.

   "How much is the rent?"

  Walking around the small street that has been specially called "pedestrian street" for a few years, Zhou Anan found that there is no polarization in the future.

   "This one covers an area of ​​eight square meters, and the rent is 4,000 a year. This one covers an area of ​​15 square meters, and the rent is 6,500 a year, and the price is 95,000..."

   "Wait, how much do you think the price of that one is?"

  Pointing to the shop near the intersection of Shengli Street, Zhou Anan asked in disbelief.
