Chapter 401 Richard's New Life

5000 yuan, plus they sold Michael's house, about 4 yuan.

Among them, they used [-] yuan to buy a new house, and the remaining [-] yuan can be used to solve the problem of little Michael going to school. There should be some surplus of this money.

Director Johnson's calculations are very fast, which is due to his professionalism over the years. He is a fighter on the taxation work front, and he can calculate some simple numbers very quickly.

Michael, who is suffering in prison, must not know that his wife is not only pregnant with someone else's child, but also that the house he bought will be sold by Director Johnson.

What a sad story!

However, Director Johnson's face was not as ugly as his. Lynch helped him a lot. He raised the check, "Should I say thank you?"

"You don't have to say it, or you can say it, it depends on your attitude." Lynch put away the checkbook, and it was impossible for Director Johnson to find him other than having no money.

After being silent for a moment, Director Johnson nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you, you have helped me a lot!"

In fact, for Director Johnson at this time, he doesn't have much to pursue in life. The state has already made some arrangements for him. At the end of this year at the latest, he will be transferred to the York State Taxation Department. A branch office under the management office is just waiting to die.

At this moment, Director Johnson generally understood that struggling or not was of little significance. He may not have done any earth-shattering events in his life, but he had not made any major mistakes either.

It can be said that the above-mentioned treatment of him is relatively fair. In the next period of time, he will basically leave his current job to make way for the soon-to-be-promoted deputy director, and at the same time start to enjoy retirement early.

This also means that there will be some changes in his income. The salary of a city tax bureau chief cannot be the same as that of an office worker in a state office.

In terms of benefits, there will be a huge gap!
When Lynch asked about his future work arrangements, he smiled calmly, "That's it, I don't plan to do anything, I know I'm not qualified, the current result is the best result..."

"What kind of person is the new chief?" Lynch asked as the two walked back.

Director Johnson, who had solved his worries, didn't mind saying something more, "A newcomer transferred from the state, only 37 years old, very motivated, and it is said that he also has a lot of connections in the system. Like me, this is not his last stop."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Lynch, "He is actually very similar to Michael, and he wants to do something big to make his resume look better. If you have anything...", he said with a smile, "Then hide it Get up and don't get caught."

Walking back from the lake to the road, Lynch glanced back at the entire artificial lake and the villas by the lake.

It is very bleak here, and there is no sense of its dignity when it was developed, only dilapidated.

Director Johnson also took a look, and he suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, do you know Hart?"

Lynch nodded, "He traded the house here for a piece of land with me."

Director Johnson chuckled, "He ran away..." Looking at Lynch's seemingly unchanged expression, he felt a little strange, but he didn't show it, "He sold the houses in his project many times and sold them The money ran away, leaving a mess, and even our mayor took a lot of money."

This was the first time Lynch had heard of it, perhaps because of shame or other reasons, neither the mayor nor Mark had mentioned it to him.

After Hart got the land on the edge of the city center, he responded to the call of the state government to build a group of public rental apartments for rent to those citizens with relatively tight financial resources.

They pay part of the rent themselves, and the city hall has a special fund to cover the other part of the cost. Simply put, the rent received by these public rental apartments will not be less than that of ordinary apartments, because there are financial subsidies and they can be chartered at the same time. , don't worry about no one renting.

At the same time, these projects are located on the edge of the city center, and the geographical location is also good.

According to some current regulations, after the policy period has passed in a few years, these apartments can be bought and sold freely, and it will cost a lot of money when they change hands.

Once the house is built, tenants can move in immediately, and it can be sold for a good price later. This kind of investment is very attractive to many people, and many people have joined this project.

Hart has also successfully attracted a lot of investment by virtue of the interpersonal relationship he managed here before, especially the uncle and nephew of the mayor and Mark, who invested in dozens of apartments in total.

The reason why they did this is actually related to the mayor. The mayor will support Ferrara to succeed him. As a price, as long as Ferrara is a little bit crooked when planning the city in the future, these apartment projects will be included in the city center The range, not to mention a lot, can earn 200 yuan, and dozens of sets can be [-] million.

Coupled with the rent that they don't need to worry about in these years, they may actually earn more than 300 million.

In the current economic environment, not to mention ensuring [-]% profit, being able to guarantee no loss and a certain amount of profit is enough to attract many people.

With the mayor and some local celebrities taking the lead in investing, the middle class is on the rise, and people's enthusiasm is like the current weather!

So... Hart ran away, with possibly tens of millions of funds.

After returning from the lake, Lynch turned on the TV, watching the boring news on the local TV station, his thoughts quickly became wandering.

For a moment he thought about where Hart would be hiding and whether he was dead—after all, what he took away was cash (in the bank), and whoever could find him meant that whoever had a mobile phone in his hand vault.

How much oil and water can be squeezed out depends on how ruthless enough is. Presumably many people have already gone to him by now.

After a while, I thought of some international disputes.

The next morning, he took the train to the capital, and he wanted to see for himself who was stealing his money.

……

"Well……"

A low voice came out of his throat, Richard pushed away the arms and thighs that were lying on him, and struggled to get up.

The room was filled with a foul smell, scattered wine bottles were scattered on the ground, and there were traces left by the dried wine on the ground.

Cigarettes, Clover, and even ghost face mushroom powder were piled up on the coffee table, and a group of naked young men and women piled up together.

Richard almost vomited out of the strange smell in the air. He hurried to the toilet and retched for a while, but he didn't vomit out anything.

After turning on the shower and rinsing himself off, he walked to the window and flung the curtains open.

The sunlight outside the window shone in in an instant, making the fleshy worms on and around the bed start to squirm.

"Damn it, close the curtains!"

Someone turned over and hugged a pillow to cover his face, with his back to the window.

There are also people who are numb, slowly sitting up like a piece of wood, and sitting on the bed blankly, as if they haven't figured out what happened.

Richard patted his head and glanced at the clock. It was almost noon.

He was a little hungry, so he picked up the phone and ordered takeaway. He still had a poker game in the afternoon.

Not long after, the delivery rider delivered what Richard wanted, and after eating some food, Richard got up and left.

The brand-new luxury car shone with intoxicating luster in the sun. On the way from the gate of the villa, more than one girl wanted to strike up a conversation with Richard because of the luxury car under his seat.

But Richard didn't stop, instead he stepped up the accelerator. Compared with these boring physical pleasures, he has recently become obsessed with poker, a simple way of playing.

The successful people of the Commonwealth always have some time to sit together and play a game of cards, trade, pay, call it whatever you want.

This kind of poker game cannot be called gambling in the strict sense. It is actually more like a strategic game, which is only expressed in the form of a poker game.

There are many such games, most of which flaunt intelligence and elegance, they are not so simple and rough, which also makes not many people really obsessed with these games, because it really takes a long, long time to study them.

Of course, there is also gambling in the Commonwealth, such as dice and roulette, but Richard has never encountered such a gambling game.

Thrilling, exciting, and a battle of wits, it makes people addicted.

The gameplay is very simple, each player only has three cards, and they cannot change cards, but they can discard the cards in their hands, but this is not easy at all, because you can't see the cards in other people's hands.

Then try, try in various ways, pass the level and observe the flickering eyes of the other party, observe the small movements of the other party's hands, observe the frequency change of the other party's chest rise and fall, and observe whether there are sweat stains on the other party's temples.

Then comes the best part, you don't necessarily lose when you have a low card, there are many ways to win without losing.

When you get a big card, you have to find a way to get more people to follow and earn more.

An exciting game!
The car accelerated all the way, and finally stopped outside a villa. There were already several cars parked here, and the game of cards had already begun.

Richard locked the car impatiently and walked towards the room.

The waiter by the door opened the door for him politely, and the girl inside smiled and took a check from him and gave him a box of chips.

He came to a room on the second floor, sat down at a table surrounded by many people, and greeted others cordially.

His plan today is to "kill" all these people, so that they don't even have any money left for dinner!
