But they dared not ask any more questions.
White also noticed their strangeness and immediately guessed that these servants might have known about Jiang Lu and his mother for a long time. His eyes suddenly became gloomy and he hesitated whether to change a group of servants.
Jiang Lu looked at White's expression and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll take you to teach him a lesson."
White was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was Jiang Lu expressing his fatherly love.
It feels weird, but I can't seem to find any fault with it.
"It's okay, just eat yours."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't keep it in your heart."
"I told you it's okay!"
"Why is this child still rebellious at this age?"
"..."
White took a deep breath, looked at the servants who lowered their heads and dared not speak, and suddenly made up his mind to replace them...
finish breakfast.
Jiang Lu and White came to the main gate and waited for the driver to pick up the car.
The two stood side by side, Jiang Lu was busy adjusting his collar and tie, while White tried to talk to him several times but always stopped himself in the end.
At this time, the sword-wielding man who had gotten up and started working two hours ago and was patrolling happened to patrol the side of the villa. He saw Jiang Lu, and then saw White beside him. He stopped involuntarily, hid in the corner, and looked confused.
From a distance, he saw White leaning sideways to talk to Jiang Lu, then Jiang Lu answered something and touched White's head. White pushed his hand away, Jiang Lu spread his hands and said something, then put his hand on White's shoulder again.
The man holding the sword couldn't believe it, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again.
A car drove up to the two of them. After the driver opened the door, Jiang Lu sat in the back seat first, and then White got in. The strangest thing was that when Jiang Lu got in the car, he dropped something, and it was White who bent down to help him pick it up.
The car drove away for a long time, but the man with the sword was still standing there in a daze.
"That doesn't make sense..."
......
inside the car.
White handed the handcuffs to Jiang Lu: "Why do you carry this thing with you?"
"As a former pirate and kidnapper," Jiang Lu put away the handcuffs without changing his expression, "It's normal for you to carry some tools out of professional habit, right?"
"It looks quite strange, and there's even a layer of cushion."
"This brings us to my professional philosophy. I kidnap people for money, not to kill them, so I won't let them get hurt. I'm not bragging, but I haven't received any negative reviews so far."
"Oh..."
Speechless all the way.
About half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
After getting off the car, Jiang Lu found a bar with the Shark Party logo in front of him.
He looked around curiously: "Do you usually work here?"
White shook his head: "Today's situation is rather special. I need to meet with a few friends first."
"What about me?" Jiang Lu asked.
"You come with me."
Jiang Lu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
The secretary who had been waiting for White was standing at the door of the bar. When he saw White, he immediately came over.
"Mr. White, everything has been arranged."
"Ah."
Led by the secretary, Jiang Lu followed them into the bar.
It's still morning, so of course there won't be any business here, everything is so quiet, except for a few bodyguards in black suits, there is no one here.
After passing through the neatly cleaned lobby, they entered a private room where two middle-aged men were already sitting.
Before they came in, the two seemed to be communicating something. When they saw White, they stood up at the same time and stopped talking.
White did not respond and sat down in the main seat.
Jiang Lu also found an empty seat and sat down, then began to daydream.
He got up too early and is a little sleepy now.
At the same time, White asked indifferently:
"Do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Hearing this, a trace of panic flashed across their faces. They knew that this meant White was angry.
"No, I don't know."
One of them smiled apologetically: "Everything in the industry is normal, and we don't know what has made you so unhappy."
White placed his right hand on the table, tapping the tabletop with his index finger. "Not sure? I handed over my business to you with confidence, and how did you give back to me? The casino's profit shrank this quarter, didn't it?"
Upon hearing this, the two men immediately argued in panic: "Mr. White, please believe us, we have signed an agreement with you, we will never do anything to enrich ourselves!"
"That's right, we would never dare to do anything to betray you!"
White said coldly: "Then why don't you explain what the problem is?"
"this..."
Both of them looked miserable.
They also don't know why business suddenly took a turn for the worse.
Seeing this, White sighed.
"I think I said that I am a person who values results. Since you are not capable of doing this job, I can only fulfill the terms of the agreement."
The two were stunned for a second, and their faces were filled with horror.
"No, you can't do that!"
"We did not violate the agreement!"
But White remained unmoved, looking at the two men expressionlessly, then stretched out his hand, and the secretary placed two leather agreements in his hand.
White laid out the agreement: "The content of the agreement is to double the turnover within six months, but you obviously can't do that."
The two of them were already shaking with fear, they knew what was going to happen next, their souls would be eaten by the devil, which was something they absolutely did not want to face.
They fell to their knees and begged, "Please give us another chance. We only have three months left. Believe in us, we can do it!"
White did not express his opinion, but suddenly looked at Jiang Lu: "What do you think?"
The two men and the secretary looked at Jiang Lu in surprise. This man had been sitting in the corner since he came in. They always thought he was White's bodyguard.
"Hmm?" Jiang Lu came back to his senses: "What do you mean?"
"If you were asked to run a casino, could you do a better job than them?"
"If I come..." Jiang Lu thought carefully and answered seriously: "It will go bankrupt."
Chapter 79: People on the West Coast, just became demons
In fact, White doesn't care much about the casino that was snatched from other gangs some time ago. At this point, he no longer cares about money. Whether it's more or less, he is still the most powerful and richest man on the West Coast.
He cares more about his own dignity.
He must ensure that his authority will not be affected, and the best way to ensure his authority is to strictly enforce the rules he sets, and the agreement is the best executor.
To ensure this, White called in the two managers who were running the business poorly, and carried out the ritual of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, which was necessary every once in a while.
When Jiang Lu appeared, White came up with the idea of handing over the business to him.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Lu would actually refuse.
So White had to say: "You don't need to run the business yourself. I will equip you with the best team to assist you."
Jiang Lu still shook his head: "If the team is useful, they won't lose anything."
White was speechless for a moment.
What he said really makes sense.
"Besides," Jiang Lu continued, "I don't like sinful entertainment like gambling."
"In that case, forget it."
White shook his head and planned to find other simple things for Jiang Lu to do.
But at this moment, Jiang Lu suddenly said: "But I do have an immature idea."
"what?"
Jiang Lu pondered and said, "I wonder if the threshold of traditional casinos is too high and they can no longer attract many people."
"What do you mean?" White asked.
"Traditional casino games are nothing more than poker and dice, which are very boring and require you to be present in person, which has a lot of traffic restrictions."
"Oh?" White thought this approach was interesting, so he asked, "What do you want to do?"
“I think the casino can be closed.”
White frowned: "Is that what you want to say?"
"Don't worry, I'm not finished yet."
Jiang Lu continued while thinking:
"Then we can turn the casino into a social media platform, train a group of talented gang members to become internet celebrities, and in the process of them sharing their daily lives, we can organize some lucky draws and let all followers bet on the draws in the form of gambling.
And because internet celebrities cover many fields, they can attract more targets, so they can easily surpass traditional casinos in terms of traffic and covered areas.
What do you mean? Is there any progress?"
As White listened, his expression changed, and in the end, he was full of surprise.
