Jiuhua City, one of the tourist attractions in Qianhua City.
It focuses on modern entertainment industries such as bars, discos, arcades, bathing centers, museums, and water parks.
It is one of the most important sources of tax revenue for Qianhua City.
Now is the peak tourist season of summer vacation. Even though the security level in Qianhua City has declined, there are still a lot of people visiting Qianhua City.
Although it took an hour to reach Jiuhua City, there was still a queue to enter Jiuhua City, which lasted more than half an hour.
The courier was driving at a very fast speed. As he passed by the pedestrian street, he could see dense crowds of people inside, like a school of sardines.
Through the traffic flow, the messenger began to look at the scene of the pedestrian street.
Like most tourist cities, there are various souvenir shops popping up on both sides of the street.
Everyone is spending the numbers on their bank cards without sparing any effort.
In this environment, even if you don't want to buy something, you will be eager to try it under the encouragement of the consumption atmosphere.
People who have strict consumption plans and shopping lists can say that they have bought all the things they want, and at most they only take a look at the rest.
Those who are encouraged to consume by their peers and surrounding environment are the ones who truly fall into the consumption trap.
At first, I planned to buy symbolic bargains, and then I kept breaking the bottom line and buying more and more.
Buy a little from here, buy a few from here, and before you know it, you have a lot of things on your hands.
Comparison is human nature. Even if you resist the desire to consume for a while, you will sooner or later be unable to help yourself when you see others buying. Especially when you happen to have some spare money.
At that time, people will find any reason to comfort themselves, and then put money into the pockets of merchants to contribute to the tax revenue of Qianhua City.
Only when you are really short of money can you escape from the terrible whirlpool of desire.
Just like some krypton gold mobile games, you will not recharge unless you have money. If you see a group of smelly seals basking in the game while playing the game, you will definitely be tempted to recharge if you have money.
As for the reason to comfort myself.
for example.
The most common reason otakus use to convince themselves to spend money is: I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, and I don’t have anything to spend money on. What’s wrong with putting some money into games for fun?
Then this charge got to my head, and I spent money like crazy before I got the character I wanted. I couldn't control myself at all.
The traffic moved forward slowly.
The two left the lively entertainment area at a very fast speed and headed towards the unfinished development area.
It is different from the entertainment area with bright lights and huge crowds of people.
The development zone located in the center of Kowloon City is like a ghost street. Not a single person can be seen on both sides of the road. They are all empty office buildings and shops.
Obviously, the distance from here to the entertainment area is only a few hundred meters, but it is these few hundred meters of street that separate Yin and Yang.
Only the hum of cars echoed in the silent streets.
Ever since the two of them bypassed the construction warning sign, it was like entering a ghostly forest, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
According to Jin Pingan, a native of Qianhua City, this construction area has existed for several years.
Generally, tourists who come here will think that construction is still going on inside and leave after seeing this empty street and construction signs.
The superiors deliberately stopped development and left such an area in order to separate Jiuhua City from where they were going to prevent tourists from entering by mistake.
According to the human navigation system of Jin Pingan, the messenger fiddled with the steering wheel and turned left and right.
After passing through an underground tunnel, they came to another world - Jiuhua City Outer Street, also known as Jiuhua Outer City.
Ten years ago, in order to cope with the growing demand from tourists, Qianhua City planned to expand Jiuhua City.
This place originally belonged to the expansion land of Jiuhua City. Who knew that not long after it was completed, a group of crossing dragons came over from Neihua City.
Although they came here to escape, after all, they had lived in the world-famous crime city, and their ruthless aura was really scary to the citizens of Qianhua City.
Just find a well-known gangster in Neihua City and place him in Qianhua City, which has long been at peace, and he will become a famous boss in a few months.
After they established a foothold in Qianhua City, they used various means to buy this Feng Shui treasure land. It seemed that they had plans to turn Jiuhua Outer City into a second small Neihua.
It was also from that time that the crime rate in Qianhua City began to increase exponentially.
But those who fled were those who fled. Except for Maoyan and Lame Wolf, basically no one of the real bigwigs in Nevada City could escape alive.
Those who can escape are all bastards who have no time limit and have more than ten years.
Although this group of people is difficult to deal with, it is not so difficult that the Qianhua City police are helpless.
Their living space is tightly controlled in the Jiuhua Outer City area.
Although this group of monsters from Neihua City cannot come out to harm people, there are many young people in Qianhua City who are very curious about this mysterious land.
This also indirectly led to an increase in the number of ruffians outside.
As the messenger drove into the outer city of Jiuhua, he was greeted by a breath of underworld.
It is different from the tourist-looking entertainment area I just passed by.
The entertainment area is mainly warm-colored lights, and there are colorful neon lights everywhere.
Social youths with strange hairstyles turned into various monsters and ghosts under the illumination of lights. Those who didn't know it thought they were in the underworld.
After parking the car, Jin Pingan took the messenger to a small alley.
At the end of the alley is a tattoo shop.
As soon as Jin Pingan walked into the alley, he felt a dull pain in the flesh on his body, but he still walked to the door of the tattoo shop bravely.
"Do you have any money in your bag?" the messenger asked.
"I brought it, but not much... Do you want to use money to pry his mouth open? But this person is very greedy."
Jin Pingan took out the 20,000 yuan originally prepared for Ai Liang from his satchel and handed it to the messenger, but the other party did not accept it.
"Just bring it with you. Keep the money and I will take it myself."
The messenger raised his hand and pushed open the door.
It was just dark, and there were no customers in the store. There were only two apprentices sitting on chairs, playing with their mobile phones and smoking cigarettes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The sound of pushing the door alerted the two apprentices. They quickly put away their mobile phones and planned to grab customers... to grab customers and get commissions, but when they saw the face behind the messenger,
Suddenly there was no interest at all.
"Why did you come here again? Your skin is itchy again, isn't it? Didn't you get enough beating last time?"
One of the apprentices was calling his boss, while the other was speaking harshly to Jin Ping'an.
"Ask your boss to come out and say there is business to discuss."
The messenger glanced at the apprentice sideways, hooked his right foot on a chair and sat down, crossing his legs on the recliner and not paying attention to the person at all.
Seeing the courier's confident appearance, the apprentice was unsure of his origins and did not dare to act rashly. He swallowed the trash talk that came to his lips and sat back to wait for the boss to come.
The most taboo thing for those who hang out here is that the boss is not present and the younger brother speaks randomly.
What if the other party is a big shot and you make them unhappy by spouting sweet words, and eventually your boss comes over and beats you to death? It will be considered conscientious.
Looking at the confident messenger, Jin Pingan looked sad.
The difference between people is sometimes greater than the difference between people and dogs. The last time I came here, I got a severe beating, while the messenger was like an uncle.
Maybe this is because of the difference in momentum! I will be like this in a few years.
Jin Pingan comforted himself in his heart.
After waiting for almost five minutes, the owner of the tattoo shop came out from behind the curtain.
Seeing the messenger, he began to introduce himself: "I am..."
"I'm not interested in who you are."
The messenger directly interrupted the store owner's self-introduction: "I came here just to do business with you."
The shop owner was a little annoyed by the messenger's behavior. He grinned and asked, "What business?"
"Big deal."
The messenger gestured for Jin Ping'an to come over. He opened his satchel, took out the envelope containing the money, and threw it directly on the recliner: "This is the deposit, and I'm asking you if you want to do it."
The golden banknotes came out of the envelope, which made the two apprentices' eyes widen.
The boss was a little calmer than the apprentice, but his unabashed greedy eyes revealed his own thoughts.
The boss picked up the envelope, pinched it, licked his lips subconsciously, and then put the envelope into his trouser pocket.
