My days as a landlord in Gotham

"Mr. Li, this is an invitation card from our master, and please be sure to show your respect."

After Li Lei sent Phil away, a man in a black suit stopped Li Lei immediately.

In his hand was a gold-plated invitation card with a purple background, which looked very gorgeous.

"Oh."

Although Li Lei was a little surprised, he accepted the invitation very politely.

Since the other party sent the invitation politely, it means that the other party has no intention of tearing his face.

Therefore, no matter who the other party is, Li Lei has to give this face.

The other party didn't say much, but left after delivering the invitation.

Seeing the other party leave in a black Italian car, Li Lei guessed that the other party was probably an Italian gang member.

Li Lei was a little curious, because he didn't have much contact with Italian gangs. After all, he was in contact with the new underground forces in Gotham City, such as Russians, Hispanics, and Asians. Aizi is repulsive to himself.

This invitation from Italian made Li Lei not very happy.

"An invitation from Oswald Copperpot?"

Jason saw the rather gorgeous invitation in Li Lei's hand, so he grabbed it and opened it, but the name on the invitation surprised Jason.

The Copperpot family is not only a veteran force of the Italian family in Gotham City, but also one of the four major families that established Gotham.

Jason was born on the street, so he was no stranger to the Copperpot family.

It can be said that among the criminal forces in Gotham City, the Copperpot family and the Elliott family are the two top families.

At the same time, because these two families are the oldest families in Gotham City, the relationship between the two families and Gotham's official and business fields is also very close.

What's more important is that these two big families are rarely directly involved in criminal incidents, so they have long been cleansed.

Now everyone mentions these two families and thinks they are very good real estate developers in Gotham City.

For example, the best work of the Copperpot family is the Diamond District, which is where the current CBD of Gotham City is located.

Just relying on the Diamond District and the Fashion District operated by the Copperpot family, the Copott family is firmly seated as one of the four major families in Gotham City.

"It turned out to be this guy."

Does Li Lei know that Oswald is the current boss of Gotham City's underground forces, Penguin.

On the surface, Oswald has never been personally involved in any criminal incidents; but he is the mediator of the underground forces in Gotham City.

At the same time, because he is particularly good at taming birds, Oswald is also a well-known intelligence dealer and assassination broker in Gotham City.

Of course, Li Lei, who has read related comics, knows that this seemingly handicapped Oswald is one of the best criminal masters in the history of Gotham City. The various weapons he made make Batman, a master of equipment, hard to guard against. I don't think I'm as good as Batman.

"The meeting place is still at the Iceberg Club. It seems that Oswald thinks highly of me."

In addition to being the top restaurant and nightclub in Gotham City, the Iceberg Club is also a gathering place for Gotham's underground forces.

Of course, the underground forces that can come to the Iceberg Club must at least be at the helm of a certain big family or a certain gangster.

"Do you need to contact Benjamin?"

Hamada Hiroshi didn't think meeting with Gotham's biggest gang leader was a good thing, so he suggested that Benjamin, who was in the Gotham District Prosecutor's Office, be famous to help Li Lei reject the meeting.

"This matter is not worth the trouble for Ben, and I believe that there will be more and more troubles like this in the future."

Li Lei replied.

If S.H.I.E.L.D. really intends to set up a branch or branch in Gotham City, and then accept the Lion Force it established as a subsidiary combat force, then its biggest task is to understand and balance the major underground forces in Gotham .

Unlike the underground forces in other cities, most of the underground forces in Gotham City are super villains.

It is a master who can fight alone with superheroes alone. If they really unite, I am afraid that SHIELD will have a headache.

If he wants to roam the underground forces of Gotham in the future, he will have to meet Oswald the Penguin sooner or later.

"Meeting him late is worse than meeting him early, and this time he politely invited me over to chat, I don't think I have any reason to refuse him.

What's more, if there is any conflict, there is no problem with my ability to get out of the whole body.

Don't worry about me too much. "

After chatting with Hamada Hiroshi and others for a while, Li Lei drove the Black Tiger towards the Bingshan Club.

When Li Lei drove to the Diamond District, he felt that this place really represented the American metropolis of Gotham City.

It can be said that the Diamond District and Fashion District of Gotham City are not inferior to Manhattan and No.15 Street in New York City.

Therefore, Li Lei still has some good feelings for Oswald. After all, no matter what his reasons are, he at least feeds the people in these two areas, and also supports a quarter of the income of Gotham City with the taxes here. .

And just when Li Lei was thinking about something, the artificial intelligence in Heihuli reminded Li Lei that he had arrived at the Iceberg Club.

Li Lei got out of the car and handed the purple invitation card from Oswald to the doorman at the door of the club.

After the door boy saw the purple invitation card, he showed a look of surprise, and at the same time, his attitude became more respectful.

The Iceberg Club is a 25-story building facing Amsterdam Avenue. Although it is not the tallest building in Gotham City, it is the oldest high-rise building in Gotham City and even North America.

After the Coppert family bought the building, they renovated it. The first floor to the fifth floor is the Iceberg Club; the fifth floor and above is the Copott Hotel.

The first floor is the nightclub area of ​​the Bingshan Club, which caters for young people; the first floor is the piano bar, which caters for more mature young people; and the jazz lounge on the second floor mainly caters for middle-aged people.

As for the fourth and fifth floors, the VIP areas are not open to the public and generally only accept reservations.

Especially the fifth floor, where Oswald entertained friends.

If Li Lei hadn't held a special invitation from Oswald, it would have been impossible for Li Lei to reach the fifth floor.

In the most luxurious box on the fifth floor, Li Lei finally met Oswald Copperpot, the penguin who was courteous to the underground forces in Gotham City.

After Coppert saw Li Lei, he said lightly: "Mr. Li, find a seat and sit down.

My legs and feet are not very convenient, so I didn't get up to meet Mr. Li. I hope Mr. Li will forgive me a lot. "

"Don't bother Mr. Copperpot."

Li Lei found a seat and sat down. Given Mr. Copperpot's age and status, Li Lei was considered a junior.

"I don't know why Mr. Coppert invited me to the Iceberg Club with such a big fanfare?"

"I just heard that Mr. Li and Mr. Wayne Jr. have cooperated in a medical equipment company. I came here to inquire about it."

Oswald called Bruce "Little Wayne" based on the relationship between the Copperpot family and the Wayne family

Not being rude.

Li Lei estimated that Oswald discovered the profit of medical equipment, so he planned to get involved.

It's a pity that because of the killing of Bruce's parents, Bruce had always believed that Oswald was behind the scenes.

Even though Li Lei handed over the evidence of the owl court murder to Bruce, Bruce didn't have much affection for Oswald.

After all, the Wayne family and the Copperpot family were indeed at the point of death. Although Bruce now knows that the Owl Court is behind the scenes, he still believes that Oswald must also bear certain responsibilities.

Because of Oswald's continuous design of the layout, this caused the Wayne couple to be exhausted, which led to the assassination of the owl court.

Because of the embarrassing relationship between the two families, Oswald had no choice but to start with Li Lei.

From Oswald's point of view, wouldn't a small player like Li Lei not take the initiative to offer shares?

"Is Mr. Copperpot kidding me?"

Li Lei asked calmly, "Don't Mr. Coppert know that the relationship between you and the Wayne family is very embarrassing?

If you think Bruce would like to work with you, why don't you interview Bruce directly?

Mr. Copperpot, since you know Bruce doesn't welcome you, why did you come to me again? "

"Mr. Li, the matter between me and the Wayne family is our business. What I am asking now is, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Oswald emphasized his tone while also picking up his trademark umbrella.

"I can only tell Mr. Copperport that I am very sorry that your wish to cooperate must not be realized."

Li Lei replied calmly, "Because according to the contract between me and Bruce, no matter which one of us sells the shares, the other party has the right of first refusal.

Mr. Cobblepot, if you are really optimistic about this business, then you must first negotiate with Bruce before I can sell the shares.

It seems that today's afternoon tea is not enjoyable, why don't I invite Mr. Coppert again next time. "

After speaking, Li Lei got up and said goodbye.

However, he did not relax, but put his perception to the extreme, monitoring the entire building.

"Boss, do we need to find some brothers to teach this person a lesson?"

Someone said to Oswald.

"No need, it's hard to find someone who can move him, why sacrifice our troops for nothing?"

Oswald declined, "He's a smart kid, first with the Asians, then with the Hispanics and Russians, and now with the Wayne family.

He can be considered a character in Gotham City now, don't treat him with the attitude of a minor character.

Julio, do you know that the Chinese like a board game very much.

I also tried to learn, and it was really interesting.

When playing this kind of board game, you must have a very good overall view, otherwise you will lose the whole game if you are entangled in the outcome of a few pieces.

This Mr. Li is not our friend, but he is not considered an enemy right now. It is good to keep him disgusting to others. "

Li Lei returned to his apartment safely, which made Li Lei feel a greater sense of crisis.

It seems that this opponent is going to take a long time to catch big fish, Li Lei sneered secretly in his heart.

Li Lei returned to his room and saw Ted still struggling in the small box in the toilet.

Li Lei thought for a while and released it.

But before Ted could speak, Li Lei blocked his mouth with a sock.

"I don't want to hear what you say. In short, you haven't shown any sincerity. I won't cooperate with you and the committee behind you.

Well, when it's midnight tonight, it's time for you to go back and report to the committee.

I hope you can bring my words to the committee, otherwise I will not give you a good face next time you come back.

Don't look aggrieved, the socks that block your mouth are new socks.

Just wait here obediently until midnight, I'll go down and get Xiaohong and Jason to eat. "
