Chapter 514: Another Punch

"This is your money!"

In the office, a guy with a slicked-back hairstyle sat in a chair, holding a stack of money in his hand.

The man opposite him had already stood up, his face carrying a flattering expression, head lowered, waist bent.

The nameplate on the desk read "Peipei Financial Company," which is a loan shark company.

Loan sharking is also illegal in the Federation, but many people are operating it, especially gangs.

The profit of loan sharking is very high, and at the same time, the risk is not great. People with a little ability are very interested in this business.

Even among ordinary people, there are some loan sharking behaviors.

Such as lending a sum of money to relatives and friends, and then requiring the other party to pay an interest rate significantly higher than the highest interest rate supported by federal law.

However, loans and interest between individuals are personal behaviors and cannot be considered complete loan sharking.

The illegal part in federal law refers to company behavior, behavior specifically for profit from loan sharking.

The slicked-back guy stared into the other party's eyes, "In one week, I want to see the money, principal and interest, in front of me; otherwise, you know the consequences!"

The person borrowing money nodded and bowed repeatedly, "I know, I know, don't worry, I will definitely pay back the money, principal and interest!"

The slicked-back guy nodded with satisfaction and put the money on the table, letting the other party take it away.

On the surface, he is the boss of this financial company, but in reality, he is just a small character.

Standing behind the financial company is the Kodak family, Shi Dong and Gao Li.

Bandi has always been committed to letting the family wash white, so they definitely cannot do these illegal businesses themselves, at least they cannot do them directly.

Through indirect control methods, they firmly control many financial companies. The main work of these financial companies is to provide funds for those gamblers who have lost money and are eager to win it back to continue gambling.

They sit in the lounge of the casino; those old gamblers need money and know where to find them.

And those new gamblers, under the introduction of dealers or staff, also know where they can borrow money.

If the gambler wants to borrow more money and even has collateral, these financial companies will drive them to the financial company to get the money, and then drive them back to the casino, waiting for the money they just got to eventually return to the Kodak family's hands.

This is a cycle, a circle, constantly harvesting every bit of wealth in the pockets of all gamblers.

If you run into someone who can't pay it back, it's not too much trouble. As long as they still have a house or other things at home, there is always a way to squeeze some out.

Even if you can't squeeze out a single bit, isn't the person themselves a sum of money?

Still a large sum of money!

Eventually, gamblers will find that they have become penniless. Some will choose to end their lives to pay for the mistakes they made.

Others might never recover from this and become one of the homeless people seen everywhere.

The Kodak family has never had anything to do with kindness, but Bandi is very cunning. He knows how to hide their evil, making them look like they aren't white, but they aren't black either.

The phone ring on the table rang at the right time. After he picked it up, the casual expression on his face became a bit more serious.

"Yes... yes... I know, I will report it the first time I encounter trouble."

"Okay, I know, okay, okay... okay, goodbye."

The call was from Shi Dong's assistant, telling them to be careful recently. Bandi guessed that Lansi might continue to take action against them.

But now, the defensive power of their casino is already very strong, and they can mobilize hundreds of armed militants at any time to protect the safety of the casino.

As long as the casino doesn't fall, the Kodak family won't fall.

Correspondingly, the defensive power of other industries is a bit worse, but it doesn't matter. Unless these industries are cut off entirely, they won't bring too big a problem to the family.

Shi Dong's assistant told him to be careful of strangers and to seek help the first time he encountered trouble, instead of thinking he could solve it himself.

After hanging up the phone, he shook his head. He wasn't very interested in the battle at the upper level; he just wanted to manage his own business well now.

Although the bulk was eventually eaten by the Kodak family, he was still able to get a considerable income from this job.

He pressed a button and let the secretary notify the next person borrowing money to come in.

Their financial company only lends for up to two weeks, basically one week.

After one week, principal and interest must be paid back, otherwise, they have plenty of ways to make those who can't pay back, or don't want to pay back, choose to agree to pay back.

Two young men walked in from outside, and the slicked-back guy looked at them a few more times.

Actually, most of those who lost money in the casino and still want to gamble are middle-aged people; young people are fewer.

Now two young men came at once, which made the slicked-back guy a bit surprised.

But since they came, the business must be done.

"Did they tell you how to calculate interest before you came in?"

One of them nodded, "Know, five percent per day, ten percent per day if it exceeds the deadline."

The slicked-back guy showed a satisfied smile, "How much do you plan to borrow?"

"Do you have collateral?"

The other young man nodded, "Yes." The slicked-back guy was suddenly curious, "What is it?"

"If it's good stuff, I can give you more money!"

"Best if it's gold watches, gold jewelry, and such. These are easier to sell, and the value preservation rate is high. I can give you a good price."

The other young man smiled and reached his hand into his pocket. The slicked-back guy also leaned his head out, showing a curious look, until he saw a pitch-black thing pointing at him, and then he cursed "Shit" and slowly raised both hands!

The phone ring rang again, ding-a-ling-a-ling, stinging people's scalp. He just glanced at it and let it continue to make noise.

Shi Dong hung up the phone. He felt that something was not quite right. He dialed another financial company, but still, no one answered.

Even the financial company he had just called and had someone answer, at this very moment, no one answered either.

Even if he were stupid, he knew that something must have happened.

He threw the phone down, walked back and forth a few steps, and decided to go out and see for himself.

He told Gao Li about this. Gao Li didn't object. Although doing so was indeed a bit risky, as a person managing gray industries for a family, he couldn't be in a safe environment forever.

Appropriately letting him see danger, Gao Li thought it was very appropriate.

The car soon arrived at the nearest financial company. The people who should have been guarding the door were also gone.

At a glance/p>

Shi Dong cursed. After parking the car, he took out his gun, walked to the door, and pushed it lightly, and the door opened.

A bloody smell drifted in the room. His face became very bad. After checking the room with his men, he found some corpses in the lounge and the manager's office.

The people in the financial company were all killed, and what was more troublesome was that the cash and loan vouchers were all gone!

He kicked over the slicked-back guy who died in the chair, picked up the phone, and dialed Gao Li's number.

"How is it?"

"Any discoveries?"

Shi Dong suppressed the flame in his heart and said, "People are all dead, money and IOUs are all gone."

Gao Li was silent for a good while before saying, "Got it."

"Got it?", Shi Dong repeated, but it was a question, "Are we not doing anything?"

"We have more than ten financial companies in total. This time, a lot of money is gone again. Everyone is watching our joke!"

"Give me a group of people, I'll go to the Imperial District now and kill Lansi to end this matter."

"And then?", Gao Li asked, "Then I'll take people to retrieve your corpse?"

Shi Dong's face was full of ferocious expressions. Growing up, this was the first time he had been so aggrieved!

"Then what to do?"

"We do nothing, watching that bug that doesn't know where it popped out from eat away our building bit by bit?"

Gao Li frowned. He felt that Shi Dong's state was not quite right, "You come back first, we'll discuss it and then say."

"Don't worry, we won't do nothing. This is just a part we need to experience. Later, when you recall these things, you will feel funny about your impulsiveness!"

Shi Dong wanted to curse, but the one opposite him was his father. Eventually, he threw the phone down heavily, said "Let's go," and took people away directly.

As for calling the police?

Someone will help him deal with it.

After returning to the villa, Bandi, Gao Li, Fleming, and some core members of the family were all here.

When Shi Dong came in, they were discussing how to deal with it. Lansi's reckless punch hit them so hard they hadn't recovered yet.

This also made them realize that the name of the five great families, or the Kodak family, didn't work very well with Lansi.

Before, as long as they took these things out, it was enough to make some small gangs compromise, but now, it was exchanged for a more violent counterattack.

Shi Dong walked to Fleming's side and sat down. He was a bit unconvinced by his "cowardly" Uncle Bandi and also had quite a few dissatisfactions with his father who had no opinion.

In the family, he only admired Fleming because Fleming was very smart and could always think of ways to solve problems.

Fleming patted Shi Dong's leg, "We were just talking about the revenge plan next."

"We have roughly obtained the location of the Lansi family's bar. In addition, I also got a very important piece of news: their wine comes from an abandoned farm outside the city."

Shi Dong was stunned for a moment, and immediately a look of surprise appeared on his face, "How are we going to do it?"

Bandi didn't speak the whole time, letting his son play. His original intention was to let Fleming not get involved.

But now it seems that this successor he chose has different ideas about this matter.

"We are legal businessmen. When we encounter illegal things, the best choice is to call the police!"

Shi Dong was stunned for a moment. He had already taken off his pants, and Fleming said this?

He was a bit suffocated, "We can take revenge ourselves."

Fleming smiled and said, "We cannot give up using violent means, but we cannot rely entirely on violence either."

"The Hazardous Materials Administration has great authority. Lansi can deal with the police station, but he can't deal with them!"
