I'm waiting for you in the wind and snow

Chapter 207

I trotted all the way to Renmin Road, and then found the bar where Taozi worked. At this time, the peak tourist season during the Chinese New Year has fully entered, and there are all kinds of people gathered in the bar, not to mention some tourists who came late and added stools in the aisle.

Squeezing out of the crowd, I finally saw Tao Zi at the bar, probably because there were too many people ordering, and she was busy mixing drinks, so she didn't even have time to look up, until I knocked on the table, she said He raised his head and looked at me, then smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

"There's something wrong."

"Are you in a hurry?"

"It's very urgent, let's put aside the matter at hand first."

Tao Zi looked around again, then shook her head and replied: "The boss is watching over there, you sit down and wait a while, I'll buy you a beer, and when I'm done with my work, I'll go find you."

"Can you get in touch with Tie Nan? I can talk to Tie Nan about it."

"He didn't answer your call?"

"I did not answer……"

"He was tired all day today, he may be sleeping...you can give him another shot, maybe he will wake up."

"I'll go straight to him."

As I said that, I was about to leave, but Tao Zi stopped me again and asked, "Is it about the inn? Did you hear something?"

I nodded heavily, hoping she would pay attention.

Tao Zi's complexion became serious, and after she was silent for a while, she replied: "Don't go to see Tie Nan, he is hostile to you in this matter, you can talk to me later, I will finish the matter at hand as soon as possible .”

……

There were too many people in the bar, so I sat on the steps outside, smoking and waiting anxiously... I even forgot that I was also caught in the vortex of this investigation. If the news from Sun Jiwei is reliable, The loss that Tie Nan will face is definitely not something he and Tao Zi can bear, not to mention that he still owes the transfer fee to the original inn owner and has not paid off.

After sitting for a while, I thought of my own side, and then took advantage of the waiting time to call Cao Xue; when I chatted with him last time, I remembered such a detail, he said that it was Cao Jinbo who asked him to go I found a lock-picking company, and the prerequisite for the lock-picking company to change the locks is to see the original property rights of the store, which indirectly proves that these original property rights must be in Cao Xue's hands now.

Wait for a while, Cao Xue connected, and I said to him directly: "I want to ask you something, are the original property rights of these shops in Jiulongju on your side?"

Cao Xue replied in surprise: "It's amazing! How do you know you're here?"

"I don't have time to explain. I really need your help this time... I want to sign a formal short-term rental contract with your uncle, which clearly states the obligations and responsibilities of both parties, as well as the distribution of income. You have the original copy of the property right, please make a few copies for me, I will draw up the contract later, and then you can take it to your uncle to sign."

"I am familiar with the lease contract. I have the original property right here. I can sign it for him."

I weighed it up, and replied: "It's better to be more cautious, it's best if he can sign it himself... Brother, let me tell you the truth, I need to take this contract and go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to make a record to deal with it. Unannounced inspections by relevant departments during Chinese New Year.”

Cao Xue smiled, and then said quite indifferently: "There are so many unlicensed inns in the ancient city. What are you afraid of? You listen to me, open as you want, If something happens, I'll take care of it for you...it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"What if the higher ups are serious about it?... What if we define my side as running a hotel in a disguised form?"

Cao Xue was a little impatient: "You are too cautious in doing things! There are thousands of inns in the entire ancient city, even if they want to check, there are so many people, and you open in Jiulongju, a place where no shit No one cares anymore...Let me tell you, my uncle is doing this kind of business on the sidelines, when did you see something happen?"

"If no one is watching, nothing will happen. I'm afraid that someone will be watching... Your uncle's paper mill will be run by someone. It's not a bad thing to be careful."

Cao Xue was speechless...

I said again: "Signing the contract is only good for your uncle and not bad... Now the situation has been reversed. If you don't sign the contract, after this month's business is done, if I go back on my word, the verbal promise I made to him before How about half of it?"

Cao Xue replied coldly: "You dare! In Dali, no one dares to cheat his money on this matter, unless you are impatient!"

I smiled: "Then if I finish this business, I won't be in Dali anymore?... I don't believe it, your uncle has the energy and manpower to find me from all over the country; it's useless to go through formal channels, because there is no one. Signing a contract does not create legal obligations and responsibilities.”

After a short pause, I continued: "Brother, let's discuss the matter here. If I can't cope with the inspection and something goes wrong, I will definitely not be able to give you the money I promised... because this is a matter of force majeure... ...So think about it, what should you do."

Cao Xue pondered for a while, and then replied: "Sure, I'm out of town now, you give me the contract tomorrow morning, and I'll go find him to do it."

……

After finishing the conversation with Cao Xue, I didn't relax. After waiting for about 10 minutes, Tao Zi came out of the bar. She stood face to face with me, with a solemn expression.

I took out a cigarette and lit it, and said: "I just talked to Sun Jiwei on the phone, and he said: During the Chinese New Year, the relevant departments are required to jointly enforce the law and raid the unlicensed inns around the ancient city, as well as the sea view inn. The inn is the most important thing to hit... In order not to be involved, I advise you not to risk opening during the Chinese New Year."

"Is it that serious?!"

"I'm not kidding, really... It's been almost a year since the policy of protecting the Erhai Lake was implemented. When did you see the higher-ups relax?"

Taozi finally realized the seriousness of the situation, and she said to me: "Wait a minute, I'll ask the boss for a leave of absence, and we'll go back to the inn together."

"Well, hurry up."

……

In the deep night, I rode a motorcycle and took Taozi back to their sea view inn. As Taozi expected, Tetsuo was sleeping; before waking up Tetsuo, Taozi said to me very distressed: " Since two o'clock last night, he has been picking up and dropping off customers at the airport, and he has been busy until I go to work in the bar... This time, in order to return the previous transfer fee, he I really tried my best... I don't even know how to talk to him!"

"If you can't speak, you have to say, this is not a joke."

Taozi nodded, then pushed Tie Nan, and Tie Nan opened his eyes, looked at Tao Zi and me in a daze, and asked Tao Zi after a while: "Why did you bring him here?" ?”

Tao Zi looked unbearable.

I replaced Taozi and replied: "Tell you something..."

At this moment, I was already weighing in my mind how to say it so that Tetsuo could accept it rationally... In fact, no matter what I said, he would not accept it rationally, so he simply said bluntly: " Sun Jiwei gave me news, saying that during the Chinese New Year, the relevant departments will be organized to carry out joint law enforcement. The purpose is to check the inns in the ancient city that have been operating without a license for a long time, as well as the sea view inn...among them, the focus is on the sea view inn... news It should be quite reliable, so I suggest that you give up the idea of ​​taking risks to make money during the Chinese New Year.”

Tie Nan sat up straight at once, and he asked me with a sullen face: "What do you mean by coming here to tell me these words?... Are you because you can't solve your own troubles, so you don't want me to make money?"

I restrained myself and replied: "Can we not have such a misunderstanding between us? It really hurts our feelings! ... Besides, my troubles on the other side have basically been resolved."

Tie Nan sneered: "Then you just came to see my joke?... Let me tell you, you really can't see it, because I don't believe a word you say."

"I'm really not joking with you, is it so difficult to trust me once?"

"When I asked you to come here to open the Seaview Inn, did you trust me? ... Mi Gao, listen to me, don't always think that you know a Sun Jiwei, just think that you are the best in Dali! ...The Seaview Inn is secretly operating more... These innkeepers have been in Dali for so many years, and no one has any relationship! Why haven't they heard of it? Could it be that you are well-informed?"
