"Go to the second floor..."
Zhou Zhenghao didn't see anyone here, and the door was open. Jerry also pushed the door open and entered. After entering, he said directly to Zhou Zhenghao. He walked through the shelves and walked in. The area here is not small. And
The first floor of Salamander Bar is the same size, and you have to walk through several shelves before reaching the other side.
There was an invisible staircase inside. We walked on the second floor. Here Jerry said something again to reassure Zhou Zhenghao. Zhou Zhenghao followed him, and the two of them hurried up to the second floor.
The second floor is much cleaner. I didn’t know what it was for before. But now there is a clean table here with a few leather chairs next to it. It looks a bit luxurious.
Sitting on one of the chairs was an old man. He was a typical Eastern European, with a very fat body and hair as sparse as desert grass. He could smell a strong smell of alcohol before he even got there.
It's just that his hands have stubby fingers and thick calluses. At first glance, he looks like a man who has practiced hard qigong. He speaks fluent Mandarin and speaks with great energy. There is a hint of domineering between his eyebrows, which makes him look like a pirate in Zhou Zhenghao's old world.
The old man had a sad face. When he heard the sound of the stairs, he looked over. When he saw Jerry and Zhou Zhenghao coming, he immediately stood up, smiled at Jerry and said.
"Dear friend, jelly. How are you thinking about it? Can you solve the matter?..."
"Don't be anxious!..., dear friend Alva McCauley. I have brought you someone who can solve your problem. Let's sit down and talk slowly. First, let me introduce to you, this is from the Weird Investigation Bureau.
Squad leader. Zhou Zhenghao, Brother Hao..."
Jerry pulled Zhou Zhenghao to the table and introduced him to the old man Alva Macaulay.
Zhou Zhenghao is still confused. He doesn't know why Jerry brought him here, but he heard that he can solve it. Is it about some strange scene?
Sure enough, when Alva Macaulay across from him heard that Zhou Zhenghao was from the Weird Investigation Bureau, his eyes immediately lit up and he reached out to give Zhou Zhenghao a bear hug.
Zhou Zhenghao was not used to the etiquette of these people and took the lead in extending his hands.
When Alva Macaulay saw Zhou Zhenghao's outstretched hands, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he stretched out his hand to shake Zhou Zhenghao's hand.
Zhou Zhenghao felt that this old man's hands were very strong. They were like a pair of iron pliers. He looked like he was someone who exercised all year round.
"Okay, let's sit down and talk about anything slowly..."
The two people were arranged to sit down at the table. But Alva Macaulay did not wait for Jerry to say anything, but asked Zhou Zhenghao anxiously.
"Brother Hao, right? Well, are you really from the Weird Investigation Bureau?..."
"Of course, you didn't see me wearing the uniform of the Weird Investigation Bureau. Let me introduce you formally. I am Zhou Zhenghao, the captain of the 74th Squadron, the Third Squadron, the Fourth Brigade of the Weird Investigation Bureau. But I want to ask you what you have.
Question? Why do you need me to help you solve it? If I guessed correctly, is there some weird scene? In that case, you can report it directly to the Weird Investigation Bureau. There are a lot of people there to help you solve it..."
"No, listen to me, this matter cannot be left to outsiders

Know, if we knew, our Langya Reclamation Group would be doomed..."
"Spike Reclamation Group?..."
After Zhou Zhenghao heard this name, he felt inexplicably familiar. His face was a little confused. Jerry next to him saw Zhou Zhenghao's expression and quickly explained next to him.
"Brother Hao, have you forgotten? This Langya Reclamation Group is a reclamation group that has a good relationship with our Salamander Bar. When you first came here, weren't we holding a Salamander Meat Boxing Match? That Fire
The lizard meat was provided to us by the captain of the Langya Reclamation Team, the old man in front of you, Alva McCauley. Our relationship was originally very good, he and I were neighbors. This store belonged to them
It’s an industry, but it’s just not doing well right now…”
"What's going on? Please tell me from beginning to end. I can't understand your words like this..."
Zhou Zhenghao remembered that the Wolf Fang Reclamation Group was indeed what he had heard about when he first came to the Salamander Bar. However, he did not pay attention at the time. It turned out that the leader of the Wolf Fang Reclamation Group was the old man in front of him.
"Okay? Well, Alva Macaulay, don't worry, let me explain it to Brother Hao from beginning to end. If there is something wrong, you can add it..."
Jerry is now acting as a middleman. On his end is Zhou Zhenghao, and on the other end is Alva Macaulay.
Alva Macaulay and Zhou Zhenghao didn't know each other, so he could only say some things.
"That's it, Brother Hao, the reason for the matter is that we want to buy this store, right? By the way, this is the store I want to buy, and its layout is the same as mine. When I tell which store it is,
After I bought it, I sealed the door here. Then I demolished the wall next to it. In this way, my first floor will be doubled in size. Then I will renovate it and build a bigger boxing ring.
Then the income can be doubled every night, and I can also open the upstairs. In this way, our Salamander Bar will be the largest bar in the neighborhood. If boxing matches are included, the income will definitely be more than doubled.
......."
"I know this, you've told me this several times..."
Zhou Zhenghao was a little impatient. He had mentioned these plans to himself in his mind.
"So I found Mr. Alva McCauley. Mr. Alva McCauley saw me and was very happy to find him to buy his store. You must know that this store was originally a grocery store. There were all kinds of miscellaneous things in it.
All for sale,…”
"That's right!... Jerry is right,..."
At this time, Alva Macaulay who was next to him couldn't help but interjected.
"When this grocery store was first established, my idea was that we, the Langya Reclamation Group, would place the supplies we searched outside Wuji City and buy them directly here. In addition, some brothers in the reclamation group were injured and were not suitable to continue in the group.
I tried my best to put it here, well, it can be regarded as a guarantee of life. Our Langya Reclamation Group also had a great time back then, and we actually caught a few big weird creatures. We made a lot of money..."
"So I bought this shopping mall at that time. But the environment outside was complicated during this period, and it was not easy to hang out. In addition, I am getting older, and the brothers who worked hard with me outside are also getting older. They are getting older.
Brothers also
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It went slowly, and the new young people who came in were not able to do anything. The income was getting lower and lower, so when Jerry came to me and wanted to buy this grocery store, I was very happy and agreed...
"
"Yes, Alva Macaulay was right. When I found him, he agreed. But the price was a bit high, asking for 1 million yuan..."
"Oh, lovely young man, you can't say that. One million nags is not expensive at all. If it were someone else, if you ask about such a large area, you wouldn't be able to buy it for one million nags..."
Mike was very argumentative about his price. Jerry nodded and continued to explain to Zhou Zhenghao,
"Indeed. The price is very good. I also asked about the housing prices around me, and 1 million is indeed not much. But Brother Hao, you also know that we don't have that much money. So I asked Alva Macaulay to discuss it.
, can you give it to him later or pay it in installments..."
"This won't work. You also know that there are many people in my team and the expenses are high. If this grocery store doesn't work, we will need a sum of money to relocate the people in the team. And someone else has already found me. I am
Because of our relationship over the years. Jerry’s father Frank and I are old friends who have been here together for decades. That’s why we sold it to him..."
The two of them were talking to each other, and after Zhou Zhenghao listened briefly, he already understood what they meant.
It turned out that Jerry wanted to buy Alva McCauley's store, but he didn't have enough money. After thinking about it, he found out that he had only scraped together 500,000 yuan, and there was still a gap of 500,000 yuan between him and 1 million yuan.
In addition, all the money cannot be used to buy Alva Macaulay. After buying it, it needs to be renovated and renovated, which is a lot of money, and even spending another 1 million may not be enough.
"Then what do you mean by coming to me?..."
Zhou Zhenghao spread his hands and still didn't understand why he was here. The manager immediately said,
"Brother Hao, this is the key. How about letting Alva Macaulay tell you directly. He is the first person involved and can tell you more clearly than me..."
"Let me tell you, let me tell you..."
Mike waved his hand, somewhat boldly.
"Isn't this Brother Hao? I won't stick to these details, I will also call you Brother Hao..."
Seeing such an old man calling him Brother Hao, Zhou Zhenghao felt dumbfounded. If it was in the old world, he would never dare to do it. After all, the idea of ​​respecting the elderly and loving the young is still rooted in his heart, but this is a strange thing.
Mainland China doesn't have so many details. He can just call him whatever he likes.
"Here's the thing, our Langya Reclamation Group has seen success before. In addition to the shops and groceries here, we also have an apartment building in the block far away. It has 44 floors. Of course, that building
It is also our purchased property. To be honest, my Langya Reclamation Group has been working hard for so many years, and we have only left behind these two properties..."
"The grocery store here is for selling things, including materials collected from the bodies of strange creatures from outside, and some random sundries. And the apartment there is for housing the people in my group. There is room for them and their families.
This place can also be regarded as our station. The other building is very tall, with many rental houses and a large area. We couldn’t live in our own group, so we rented some out..."
