"Hurry up and let me go!" The anxious Chen Xi yanked hard and tore off one of the strong man's ears. However, even so, his body was still tightly stuck in the container and could not move.
Seeing the sharp blade in the tattooed man's hand getting closer and closer, Chen Xi made a desperate move, wrapping his legs tightly around the strong man's waist, and then used a move to subdue the dragon and swing its tail.
Using the inertia of his body tilting and falling, he miraculously moved the strong man's body to one side.
The dagger that the tattooed man was originally aiming at deflected and pierced the strong man's body fiercely.
“Ah!” The strong man cried out in pain. In anger, he transformed into a strongman and picked up Chen Xi. He threw him out like a shot put and hit him blankly. tattooed man.
The two fell heavily to the ground, dust flying into the air.
The strong man was at the end of his strength after receiving this blow, coupled with his previous all-out struggle, and fell down after not standing for long.
Chen Xi, on the other hand, was dizzy from the fall and his head hit the ground. He felt that the surroundings suddenly became noisy and countless footsteps came one after another.
When his consciousness gradually became clearer, he looked around, only to find that the tattooed man had disappeared without a trace.
"How are you? You're not hurt?" Alin's concerned voice came to his ears.
"It's okay. Has anyone been caught?" Chen Xi touched his sore back.
“Caught one.”
“What, just caught one?”
“It’s good to have one. I didn’t even see the others. "Well, there are two more people on the ground." Arin pointed at the strong man lying motionless on the ground.
"Isn't this guy dead?" Chen Xi frowned when he saw that the other person still had a knife stuck in his body.
There was blood all over the place around the strong man. Fortunately, the knife was not pulled out, otherwise he would have lost a lot of blood.
After checking that the other party was still breathing, Chen Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, the police car and ambulance arrived slowly.
After the two white police officers got out of the car and inquired about the situation, they began to take out their walkie-talkies to call for reinforcements.
The previous boxes were found to contain a large amount of contraband, which made the police officers look excited.
Such a big case is a great achievement!
"Why do you suddenly want to check those boxes?" A Lin pulled Chen Xi aside and asked in a low voice.
“Intuition!”
“Blow it!”
Seeing Chen Xi running back to the train with his mouth full, A Lin didn’t ask any more questions.
Chen Xi really didn't know. He only remembered that the Donald Duck tattoo was very familiar. As for where it appeared, he hadn't remembered yet. Combined with the bad things that appeared in the logistics company's container before, he did what he did just now subconsciously.
"In the future, each ship must be carefully inspected for loading." Chen Xi explained.
Alin said nothing.
You know, there are countless boxes loaded at the port every day, and no place can inspect every box.
If you do this, it will greatly affect efficiency.
This is why every time there is news about customs detecting contraband.
Thinking about so many containers and so many different kinds of goods, it is difficult to find some gadgets inside.
Chen Xi also knows that this is an impossible task, but in this sensitive period, it is better to be stricter.
“Aren’t you going to check all the cargo on the ship? I mean find some D dogs.” Seeing the police officer carrying the cargo and trying to leave, Chen Xi immediately stopped him.
"How to investigate the case is our business. What you have to do now is to go back and make notes with us." The white police officers were very overbearing and did not thank them for the credit they had just received.
"F*ck." Chen Xi couldn't help but curse.
Although the police officer didn't understand, he felt something unfriendly from his tone. He glared at Chen Xi and put his hand on the holster of his gun.
Seeing this, Chen Xi could only curse in his heart.
More than an hour later, inside the police station.
“Are those people employees of your company?” a fat police officer asked while recording.
"How do I know? It shouldn't be the case." Chen Xi spread his hands.
“Isn’t this company yours? How could you not know?”
“There are so many people in the company, and I can’t possibly know everyone. I have to check the employee list. "Understood."
"Then why did you suddenly ask to check the box?"
"Because I saw something was wrong with one of them, and they looked a little panicked."< br>
"What's wrong?"
"He has a tattoo that looks familiar to me."
"What tattoo?"
"Donald Duck!"
“……”
"Ahem."
Chen Xi said Donald Duck, causing the two police officers to cover their mouths and laugh.
Where would anyone get a tattoo like this?
"Then where have you seen this tattoo before?" The police officer smiled enough and asked again.
“I can’t remember, but I remember this guy had a Mickey Mouse on his other arm.”
A Mickey Mouse sentence almost made two police officers laugh to death.
The tattoos of ghosts are completely different from those of Asians. They are either lightning bolts or icons such as skulls. Some like to have Chinese characters or dragons tattooed on them.
But they don’t know the meaning of the words, and some even have the word “Silly X” tattooed on them.
As for Asians, they like to get tattoos with Western elements on their bodies.
After chatting with the two police officers for a while, Chen Xi came to a conclusion.
There is only one possibility as to why these people are slowly working on the case there.
That is, I want to have meat to eat every meal.
If the restaurant is closed down, how can we still eat in the future?
The ghost guys are not stupid either. They are playing the tricks of ancient times in the East very clearly.
As for the two people who were arrested, Chen Xi didn't bother to investigate how the police should investigate.
He came to the hospital for a checkup and found that his body was fine. He looked at the time and saw that it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
At the thought of driving home for more than half an hour, Chen Xi sent a text message to Jin Nana and Sha Zhi.
Farewell to A Lin and go to Crown to open a hotel. Chen Xi had just finished taking a shower and was about to lie down when the doorbell of the room rang.
Opening the door, Ma Yueling walked straight in, which did not surprise him.
Entering Crown's territory, facial recognition immediately transmitted his data, and using a black card to open a room, Ma Yueling naturally knew that he was here.
"Sister Ling, what's wrong at this late hour? I'm not used to being alone in a room with only one man and one woman." Chen Xi tightened his bathrobe.
"Is there anything you're not used to?" Ma Yueling chuckled and glanced at him from head to toe.
"Lawrence talked to me. He thinks you have great ideas about the gambling industry. You said you have never gambled, why are you so good at it?" Ma Yueling found a chair Sit down, cross your legs and look at the other person.
“You don’t need to gamble to understand this. The analysts in the casino are mathematicians and psychologists. Their job is to design the rules of the game and how to make money from the guests. As long as you have a little understanding Human nature can figure it out." Chen Xi lied.
"You gave him so many ideas, why don't you give me some? How can we increase Crown's income?" Ma Yueling blinked.
"What, Sister Ling, is the relationship between you and Parker very tense now?" Chen Xi smiled.
Ma Yueling didn't speak, just nodded.
The top management of Crown is in chaos right now, and many difficult things happen every day. The conflict between the casino and the authorities is becoming more and more intense, and it is nothing more than the issue of tax payment.
Now that the income of casinos has decreased, tax revenue will naturally decrease year by year.
But this became an excuse for deliberately not paying taxes in the eyes of the officials.
So if you want to solve this contradiction, you must solve the income problem.
“Tu’ao Casino is different from the ones in Ao District. Most of the guests here are local white people, which is similar to the beautiful place. Local white people come to the casino, and young people like to play. Black Jack, Texas. Enjoy playing slot machines. In Australia, the number of slot machines in casinos is quite small, and even old men and women are reluctant to play, but in Tu'ao, it is completely the opposite.
In Australia, Pazai, There are many professions such as money exchange parties. In Tu'ao, this kind of management is more You can't see it in more strict places. Without the money exchange party, customers will place less bets. What I mean is that there should be more grand prizes and new games to attract customers, and don't focus entirely on the casino. < br>
Are you from Mo Village? It can be seen from the city map that Crown is located in the center. If you want to come here, you have to drive a long time from all directions in Mo Village. How much money can you make by playing slot machines? Not enough.
Why not cooperate with the lottery center and put some slot machines there. But you still have to have in-depth communication with the official about this kind of thing..."
Chen Xi gave a plan.
Gui Lao is a little different from Asians, and rarely watches the news Gui Lao has become addicted to gambling on a large scale.
They go to the casino just for fun. Loose, only a small number of people go bankrupt after becoming addicted.
Besides, slot machines can be played with a few Australian dollars each time, and it is unlikely to drain someone’s money. . According to the memory of the previous life, the Tu'ao official did not object, so it should still be feasible.
The miscellaneous money-making projects in Australia are not suitable for Tu'ao, so we can only make plans according to local rules.
Chen Xi has been in Tuao for a long time, and he discovered a problem.
That is, computer games are very fascinating in China, but they are not so addictive here. He has never seen anyone not letting their children play games.
Even Internet cafes allow minors to enter, but places like KTV require adults to enter.
There are many factors that can cause this to happen.
The first is cultural differences.
In Western culture, personal freedom, independence and self-control are regarded as important values. This cultural background may make Westerners more inclined to maintain rationality and self-restraint when facing games or gambling.
In contrast, Asian cultures may place more emphasis on collectivism and family values, which may sometimes lead to individuals lacking sufficient self-control in the face of temptation, making them more susceptible to addiction. But that doesn’t mean all Asians are prone to addiction, it’s just a cultural tendency.
Look at it from the perspective of social support and education.
Western countries generally attach great importance to family education, and parents usually teach their children how to rationally face temptations in life, including games and gambling. This kind of education helps develop children's self-control and responsibility.
In Western societies, there are relatively complete social support systems, such as psychological counseling, rehabilitation centers, etc. These institutions provide timely help and support to those who may be addicted.
"Why did you come to the hotel to sleep today? Did you have a conflict with Shazhi?" Putting aside business matters, Ma Yueling was curious about his personal affairs.
There is no other way, Chen Xi can only tell what happened tonight intact.
"I don't know, Tu'ao is very chaotic now, please pay more attention to yourself." Ma Yueling's face did not change much after hearing this.
Chen Xi knew that the other party must know something based on his ability, but she was unwilling to say it, and it was difficult for Chen Xi to ask further.
"After graduation, are Shazhi going back to China with you?" After chatting for a while, Ma Yueling suddenly stood up and was about to leave. Before leaving, she suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Xi seriously.
"Um, I don't know. She said she would let me go to Sakura Country to meet her parents this year." Chen Xi replied subconsciously.
"What about Jin Nana? And that Xia Lian." Ma Yueling chuckled.
"Uh..."
"I know, go to bed early."
Seeing that the man couldn't answer, Ma Yueling turned and walked out of the room.
"Oh, do you think of me as your own brother? You are so concerned about my private life." After the door closed, Chen Xi murmured to the air.
Picked up the phone and saw a bunch of text messages from Jin Nana and Saori.
The two women are still not sleeping, and Xiao Bangzi actually thinks of him as her boyfriend.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
He replied with two messages to reassure the two women.
He touched his back, and it still hurt a little.
Damn, that idiot was really cruel.
Where did I see that Donald Duck tattoo? Why can’t I remember it?
Chen Xi, who was lying on the bed, fell into sleep while thinking.
When he got up the next day, he looked at the time and saw that there were still classes today. Chen Xi quickly drove to school.
"Classmate, would you like to have your paper written for you..." As soon as we arrived at the parking lot, the man with glasses from before appeared again.
He had obviously forgotten Chen Xi, and started introducing him as if it was the first time they met.
"No, no, you are not afraid of being caught, be careful of being reported." Chen Xi reminded the other party kindly.
“Wealth can be obtained through danger, but we are afraid of nothing.” At first glance, the man with glasses was not the kind of honest person who studied hard, and he didn’t care at all about Chen Xi’s warning.
"How much can you earn every month? You work so hard! If you are caught, you will be deported."
"There is a lot. This is a high income in any country." The man with glasses looked proud.
"This ghostwriting is all bank payment. If someone reports it, the police will investigate and you will be finished." He has done ghostwriting before, and Chen Xi is very clear about the payment process.
These people usually open several accounts. After the contact person collects the money, the funds will be released to the writer when the paper results are available.
“There are many payment methods, you can pay however you want, except cash, of course.”
"Oh? Then tell me what other payment methods are there besides bank transfer?" Chen Xi became interested after hearing this.
"Why are you asking so many questions? You don't want to write for me." The man with glasses looked around and his expression became a little wary.
“I have to know the payment method before I can ghostwrite.”
“That makes sense. There are many payment methods, such as bank transfer, gift card, virtual currency, etc...”< br>
“Gift card? What is that.”
"It's Apple's recharge card. You only have Internet access at home. You don't even know this." The man with glasses rolled his eyes and looked at Chen Xi as if he were an alien.
There are a lot of Apple gift cards in the supermarkets in Tuao, which are money that can be recharged in the mall.
This kind of recharge card will be promoted every major discount day like Christmas, and you can often buy high-value recharge points at a low price.
The cost of ghostwriting is generally not consistent with the amount of the recharge card. If the ghostwriting fee is 1,300 Australian dollars.
The customer has three 500 recharge cards. When paying, he pays 1,500. The other party does not give change for the remaining 200, which means he can make more money.
The customer bought the card at a discount anyway, so naturally they won't care about it.
"How to trade virtual currency? Is it Bitcoin?" Chen Xi asked tentatively.
"Bitcoin? That crap is worthless. Why do I want this?" The man with glasses shook his head.
"Then what is the virtual currency you are talking about?"
"I tell you secretly, but don't tell others. At present, I am the only one who supports this payment method... What I said The coin is a returnee coin!" the man in glasses said quietly, covering his mouth with his hand.
Returnee coins?
Chen Xi was shocked.
Then he smiled and pointed at himself and asked: "Do you know who I am?"
"You? How do I know who you are."
The bespectacled man's answer left him speechless.
Damn it, you’ve already used returnee coins to trade, but you still don’t know who the vice president of the association is?
“Are you from the Overseas Returnees Association?” Chen Xi asked again.
“No.”
“Then how can you trade with Turtle Coins?”
“It’s none of your business. You’ve asked too many questions. Ask again. You need to pay!" The man with glasses felt more and more that something was wrong with the young man in front of him.
However, the next second, a green hundred-dollar bill appeared in front of him. (End of this chapter)
