Gotham Dark Godfather

Seeing that Black Mask had made such a statement, Zhou Hao did not refuse, pretending to light a cigarette casually to relieve the discomfort in his heart, and then said seriously:

"I made some money doing some business in Arkham, and now it feels like it's time to expand my business, but it needs the help of some... um, investors to make this struggle work. To narrow it down some time....about $15.!”

The reason why Zhou Hao said this was to show that he had enough ability to repay the money. At least for any investor, even the so-called zero-threshold lending business valued this.

The people around Black Mask obviously knew Zhou Hao's situation very well. They whispered in their master's ear for a while and gave Black Mask a concise and concise summary of Zhou Hao's old knowledge.

"Oh? So Mr. Zhou, you want to borrow money from me?" Black Mask shrugged calmly. He did not mention Zhou Hao's occupation, but asked about other things: "Ordinary people are paying off my debts. When you were there, you all looked like you were being pardoned, especially when you saw some of the disharmonious scenes just now... I'm fine. Under such a background, how could you still dare to think about borrowing money?"

After hearing this, Zhou Hao had already prepared a set of words and really planned to speak.But Black Mask waved his hand and interrupted him unceremoniously.

"Zhou! Maybe I should tell you that although the company is doing business like loan sharking, it is not what I am interested in... In other words, I can lend as much or as little as I like. There are no rules at all. If you are going to fool me with some tricks to scare away investors, then the conversation that follows is meaningless!" The pupils of the black mask looked through the deep mask, looking like a dark whirlpool, which seemed to be able to Seeing into the depths of people’s hearts:

"Answer me! Young man! US$15 may seem like a lot, but with your current business, you can collect US$15 to pay off the debt in just one week. Although the subsequent income may be less in the first week, consider The investment is almost zero. Under this premise, I'm afraid you can raise US$[-] in a month------In short, I don't see the need for you to borrow money, unless you encounter any trouble and need Let’s settle it with money!”

In just a few sentences, Zhou Hao's dilemma was immediately highlighted, and he was worthy of being the one who would dominate Gotham's underworld in the future, although not for a long time.

But seeing his true identity revealed, Zhou Hao was not panicked, even though his face deliberately looked surprised.In fact, as a time traveler, especially if he is familiar with comic book characters, Zhou Hao has some understanding of Black Mask's character.First of all, this guy is headstrong and very arrogant. For example, he always thinks that he, Bruce Wayne, is much better than the playboy, so he challenges him everywhere. When running the company, he always thinks that his own ideas are correct and does not accept anyone's opinions. diss, this is also the source of his tragedy.The Penguin controls Gotham's arms trade. He is considered a leader in the powerful group, but he is willing to train his subordinates. Even if there are traitors, he still encourages the people below to grow and become his right-hand man in the future (such as Arkham Origins, Penguin's two The personalized secretary was the one who helped him through college).

Therefore, Zhou Hao, who knew the weakness of Black Mask's character, deliberately made up the previous reasons for borrowing to be full of flaws in order to leave a hook to lure this guy.

"It seems I can't hide anything from you..." Zhou Hao said with pretense of admiration: "My boss doesn't like me and is planning to mobilize people to mess with me! Since we are all at odds with each other, naturally we can't After borrowing money, I became a detective, but this position can no longer satisfy my appetite, and I don’t even have basic shelter, so I need more money to climb up faster!"

Because Zhou Hao's first version of the reason was foreshadowed, Black Mask naturally thought that he had exposed Zhou Hao's excuse, and the rest was of course the truth, so he nodded and said happily: "This is right, you must admit it" Let’s be clear about the fact that those pirated CDs you engage in are a bullshit business. They are just ancillary industries attached to your power base, and they only cash in on some of your privileged resources. So what should you really focus on? The power of a steady hand! Even a small detective is too tall for a street gangster."

When Zhou Hao heard this, he felt like he was being taught something. He secretly said, "So, what do you mean, boss...can you lend me this money?"

As soon as the words came out, Black Mask's eyes widened, and he said in a sinister tone: "Lend it to you? Haha, Mr. Zhou is really a good calculator? You just paid me back 5 yuan, and now you want to borrow another 15 yuan? Is this a deal? Is this too much? If you collected the money from other places to pay me back, and then took three times the amount from me in the blink of an eye, wouldn’t I have been tricked by you? "

Secretly regretting that he had not calmed down just now, Zhou Hao quickly explained: "Don't worry, boss, the pirated disc business has been negotiated with various hotel video stores. The fees are charged on time every month. The protection fees on the street are much safer. As long as... ..”

Before he finished speaking, Black Mask suddenly roared and shouted: "That's enough, I told you that pirated discs are just a cheap business, a petty profit thing! Have you ever seen any underworld person make a fortune from this? What is business? This is it!!"

After saying that, he took out a small bag of white powder from his pocket and threw it into Zhou Hao's face. Although it didn't hurt, it was quite insulting.Thinking of Black Mask's identity, you don't need to look at it to know that this white powder is [-]% his old business, a serious white powder business.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Hao said nothing, but secretly despised him. The reason why Hong Kong gangs were so arrogant in the past was because they smuggled a large number of pirated video tapes and DVDs into the mainland and made a lot of profits.After 911/[-], the US imperialism tightened its blockade on the Arab world, causing these oil tycoons to also begin to import various pirated American films from China, thus forming a deformed, twisted and weird industrial chain.

"Is there no need to talk about it?" Zhou Hao said lightly, while his eyes narrowed into a thin line, and he became fully alert.

Black Mask, on the other hand, seemed not to notice anything. He shrugged indifferently and said, "Of course we can continue to talk, but there are some conditions and we cannot follow the previous path. After all, $15 is not a small amount. You want The price you pay will not be the same as before..."
