Chapter 88: Liu Yaozu

In the afternoon, after returning to the bar office, Chen Mo received a phone call from Jimi.

"Mo Ge, I've looked at the land for the disc factory these past few days, but the other party isn't willing to sell."

Now Gangdao's economy is developing comprehensively, and land supply cannot meet demand.

Each time the Lands Department puts land up for auction, it attracts a large number of businessmen scrambling for it.

Moreover, the Lands Department hasn't even announced any land auctions recently.

Finding a suitable commercial plot for building a factory is quite troublesome.

The garment factory and the sneaker factory were both bought as ready-made factories, including the land.

If we didn't convert the garment factory's vacant land into a training ground, we could completely build that plot into a disc factory.

But now it's clearly unsuitable.

We can only look for a new piece of land.

"Can't we use some means?" Chen Mo asked, frowning.

Last time when buying the garment factory, Chen Mo had already demonstrated to Jimi how to use the Triad Society's methods.

In theory, for an ordinary businessman, as long as the price is right and with a bit of threat, buying a plot of land shouldn't be difficult.

Could it be that Jimi didn't learn the methods from last time?

"Mo Ge, we've used them, but the other party has some background, so our methods might not work."

"Whose land is that?"

"The landowner is Liu Yaozu, a businessman, but he has some connections with the Ni Family in Jianshazui."

"Okay, I understand. I'll look into how to resolve it later."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mo couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Liu Yaozu, could he be the Liu Yaozu who runs a casino?

Chen Mo remembered that his family was hiding bonds worth three hundred million.

If we could get our hands on that, wouldn't we be making a fortune?

Thinking this, Chen Mo immediately called Gao Jin, asking him to look up information on Liu Yaozu.

Even if it's in the Gangdao world, what if it's just a coincidence of names?

Now Chen Mo basically entrusts all the territory matters to Gao Jin, rarely assigning him menial tasks.

But investigating this kind of tycoon, especially one with ties to the Ni Family, Gao Jin handles it more thoroughly.

By evening, Gao Jin had investigated Liu Yaozu thoroughly.

"Mo Ge, this is the Liu Yaozu information you wanted."

Chen Mo took the documents and examined them carefully.

Gao Jin's investigated materials are very detailed, not only containing Liu Yaozu's personal information but also his social connections.

Liu Yaozu's father-in-law surnamed Sun, nicknamed Lu Bin Sun, was arrested half a year ago for attempted intentional homicide and is still detained in Chi Zhu.

However, he's not in the same detention block as Chen Mo, so Chen Mo has never seen him.

Liu Yaozu was originally a subordinate of Lu Bin Sun, and after marrying Lu Bin Sun's daughter he began to amass wealth.

Most of his assets were obtained by seizing Lu Bin Sun's daughter's property.

Unfortunately, he lacks ability; even if he had swallowed so much of Lu Bin Sun's daughter's property, he couldn't hold onto it.

He has no business talent and likes to gamble; no matter how large his fortune, it's not enough for him to lose.

Furthermore, Lu Bin Sun's daughter discovered before her death that Liu Yaozu had seized her property and withdrew a large sum of funds.

Now, aside from some fixed assets, his other businesses have mostly collapsed, leaving only a Hong Jiu Ju Le Bu still operating.

However, this club appears to be a red wine business on the surface, but is actually a concealed casino.

In Gangdao, opening a casino is illegal.

Therefore, his casino can only be used for gambling, not for money laundering.

Fortunately, he still has several shell companies under his name, dedicated to money laundering.

Not only the money he earns from his own casino, but also the Ni Family's drug money, are laundered through these companies.

Relying on this money‑laundering function, he is considered to have hooked up with the Ni Family.

After reading the materials, Chen Mo felt fully confident about securing the land in Liu Yaozu's hands.

Not only that land, Chen Mo also set his sights on the three‑hundred‑million‑worth bonds and Lu Bin Sun himself.

"Ah Jin, prepare one million in cash; tonight we'll go play at Liu Yaozu's casino."

Liu Yaozu likes to gamble, doesn't he? Winning that plot of land would do the trick.

At ten o'clock at night, Gao Jin drove, bringing Chen Mo and the money to Jianshazui.

Ordinary people wouldn't think that a red wine club would conceal a casino.

At this time, legitimate red wine clubs have closed for the day.

Here, although still open, there aren't many people.

After all, those who come at this hour are all here to gamble; who would come for drinks?

Because it's my first time here and I have no acquaintance to show the way, Chen Mo also doesn't know how to enter the casino.

Chen Mo and Gao Jin entered the club and just randomly picked a table to sit at.

As soon as the two sat down, a waiter approached: "Gentlemen, what would you like to drink?"

"Coming here at this time, of course we're here to play."

Chen Mo opened a slit in the briefcase at his feet, revealing the banknotes inside.

The waiter, hearing Chen Mo say that and seeing the money in his box, immediately guessed Chen Mo's intention.

Out of caution, he still didn't bring the two into the casino.

I don't know how to address you two; which regular customer introduced you?

Great Prosperity's Chen Mo. No one introduced me; I just happened to hear about it and came to check it out.

Please wait a moment, both of you.

The waiter turned and left, apparently to ask for instructions.

Not long after, perhaps having confirmed Chen Mo's identity, the waiter came back to Chen Mo.

Please follow me, both of you!

Under the waiter's guidance, Chen Mo and Gao Jin took the elevator upstairs and entered the casino through a secret door.

As soon as they entered the casino, a female server in uniform walked over.

Li Li, you attend to this gentleman.

Okay.

After handing Chen Mo and his companion over to the female server, the waiter turned and left the casino.

Gentlemen, please follow me.

Chen Mo took a look and exclaimed, "Hey, isn't this the girlfriend of Qian Wendi from Heaven Stealing and Sun Replacing!"

It seems the plot hasn't started yet; this Li Li is probably here to help Qian Wendi cheat, having come to work at this casino in advance.

I didn't expect to have just picked up Liu Piaopiao last night, and tonight I ran into another woman straight out of a female star template.

Chen Mo couldn't help but sigh that his recent romantic fortune has been really good.

This Liu Lili really has a stunning figure—front protruding, back curved—and her two headlights are even bigger than Ruby's.

Li Li led Chen Mo and Gao Jin to the center of the casino hall, smiling and asking, "Sir, I don't know what you'd like to play?"

Chen Mo reached out and pinched Li Li from behind, testing the feel.

Hmm, quite soft.

Its shock-absorption should be pretty good.

Where can we play bigger stakes?

Although there are many games in the hall, the bets aren't considered big.

The key is, Chen Mo's main purpose in coming isn't to gamble for money, but to gamble money with Liu Yaozu.

Li Li turned expressionlessly, evading Chen Mo's hand: "Sir, if you want to play bigger, I can take you two to the VIP private rooms; there's a gambling game tonight."

Chen Mo withdrew his hand, nodded, and said, "Lead the way!"
