Chapter 50: Casinos

Cao Mo and the housekeeper of the Tubman family walked out through the hall and saw that the housekeeper had already passed the walkie-talkie and had asked someone to guide Xie Sipeng's car to park in front of the main building.

"I saw that it was your car, Draculamo's damn cell phone signal, and I couldn't get through to your phone, so I rushed to the door and came directly - Mr. Tubman Jr. is your friend?" Letting the driver and bodyguards stay outside, Xie Sipeng took his little secretary Zhang Min happily up the steps of the main building.

.

Draculamo's telecommunications services are a few cuts worse than those in China, but the infrastructure of the core Aral Lake Island, Ikoi Island, and Victoria Island is not as bad as imagined.

Since Xie Sipeng had known that this was the property of the Tubman family, he obviously still wanted to take advantage of this coincidence to come to the door directly, and not give him a chance to refuse, so that he could have a chance to contact the upper class of Draculamo, right?

Or is he, like his own thoughts, from Yang Deshan or Guo Jian, he already knew that the Tubman family was going through a ruin, and there must be a lot of good things or assets that were eager to get rid of?

Even if he knew that Xie Sipeng was lying, he simply lent $200,000 to the early development of the Yibogu gold mine, which was really crucial, and Cao Mo could not casually refute his face.

Walking through the hall and towards the back garden, Cao Mo learned that the private residence he rented in Draculamo was just a street away from the Tubman family's garden, a three- to five-minute walk.

As a wealthy area of Draculamo, the Ikoi Island district is much better in all respects than the chaotic and dirty West Bank district, and many of the families and heirs of the large and small chiefs who originally lived in the original residence were descendants of colonists or from all over the world, as well as the management and dispatched employees of European and American companies.

Of course, there are also Chinese and Chinese businessmen who live in the Ikoi Island area, but they are not large-scale, let alone integrated into the residential circle of Ikoi Island.

Sitting down, Cao Mo still introduced Xie Sipeng, Little Tubman, Abman, and Stari to each other first, and then he gave up the rattan chair he had just now to Xie Sipeng and Zhang Min, and he sat on Starry's long rattan chair.

Xie Sipeng had a close relationship with Yang Deshan, and they met in the morning, and they happened to know about the donation of 160,000 US dollars, and they also guessed that Cao Mo had just returned from going to the consulate to contact the donation, and he sat down and generously offered to donate 5,000 US dollars to help build the road at the Longta City Hall.

Seeing Xie Sipeng looking at him expectantly, Cao Mo shrank back very cowardly, and was very comfortable to get closer to Stari.

He has not even admitted half of his share of the donation until now, how can he be instigated by Xie Sipeng at this time to take three or five thousand dollars to show off?

Xie Sipeng's English is quite lame, in the past, Draculamo mainly relied on Zhang Min's translation, but at this time, he was very interested in holding broken English and talking to Abacha and Little Tubman.

Xie Sipeng promised to donate five thousand dollars, and Abacha was slightly interested in him, but that was it, but Tubman Jr. was quite interested in Xie Sipeng's arrival and his identity.

This made Cao Mo strongly feel that the Tubman family still had any assets, and he was eager to find a Chinese businessman with rich hands and sufficient funds to help alleviate the crisis that the Tubman family was facing at this time.

It's a pity that the two things he wants to do most now, whether it is building a cement factory or building a hydropower station, he has to grit his teeth and deduct every penny to invest, and he really has no energy to eat the meat of the Tubman family, so he can only watch Xie Sipeng open his mouth to pick it up.

Seeing that Tubman was chatting with Xie Sipeng very eagerly with motivation, Cao Mo, who had more than enough heart but not enough strength, could only sit bored and admire Starry's beauty.

Tubman seemed to be very interested in the Chinese life circle in Draculamo, and Xie Sipeng also answered all questions, but Cao Mo didn't notice much, so they turned the topic to the only Chinese casino in the West Bank District.

The casino was built by an overseas Chinese who settled in Kanem in the early eighties, and Cao Mo and Guo Jian would occasionally run over to play a little game before, but with his and Guo Jian's personalities, they would not indulge in it.

Of course, when Xie Sipeng and Tubman Jr. mentioned this Chinese casino, Cao Mo's mind was still on Starry's body, and he noticed that Starley's waist and leg muscles were slightly tense, and his intuition told Cao Mo that there was dissatisfaction and resistance in her eyes.

In Abacha's eyes, little Tubman is a gentleman who is not good at running the family business, and it is not surprising that he is addicted to gambling and gambling, and he even lost a lot of net worth because of this, which makes Stari dissatisfied, right?

However, it is legal to open a casino in Draculamore, and there are more than a dozen legal casinos of large and small, high or low grade.

Cao Mo looked at Abba and saw that he was purely interested in Chinese casinos, which showed that before he bought the crushing plant, he really didn't have much contact with Little Tubman, and he didn't know the details of it.

Xie Sipeng was worried that he had no chance to further tie in the relationship with each other, and seeing that Little Tubman and Abacha were very interested, he said smoothly: "The Golden Yuan Casino is a little simpler, but it is still more lively, Mr. Abacha, Mr. Little Tubman, if you don't dislike it, I will be a guest in a while, we will have a drink and two drinks, and then go over to play two handfuls." ”

"Stari ......"

Little Tubman called his sister to accompany him, Cao Mo intuitively felt that Stari was refusing and resisting in her heart, but she couldn't resist Little Tubman, and finally reluctantly followed them into the car and drove to the West Bank......

............

............

The group took the driver and bodyguards, and went to the Strait Seafood Restaurant for dinner first, and then rushed to the Jinyuan Casino.

Golden Yuan Casino is located on the newly renovated Central Avenue in the West Bank District, two blocks from the Kennett Building.

A small four-story white building stands in a wide courtyard covering an area of about four or five acres, not compared with the casinos of Aumen and Las Vegas, even compared with the local casinos that Dracula has operated for many years, it seems a little shabby.

However, compared to the surrounding slum buildings, this small building also stands out from the crowd.

Even if it is simple, the casino also has a casino rule, that is, bodyguards with guns are not allowed to enter the compound.

Cao Mo took Ade, Abacha, Xie Sipeng, and Little Tubman each brought a bodyguard, and asked the others to park their cars on the side of the road outside the compound and wait, and the guns were naturally left on the others.

As soon as night fell, the West Bank district was cut off from electricity as usual, and the noise of diesel generators could be heard in the yard from the equipment room behind the main building.

There is air conditioning in the hall, but the refrigeration effect is worrying, and the ventilation is also very poor.

This is the Chinese casino in the West Bank area of Dracula.

The walls of the hall were simply painted with white cement paint, and in the white light, they looked somewhat shabby.

Without the intricate wooden parapets, Roman columns, or the opulent marble, or the glittering crystal chandeliers, this is not even a full-fledged casino.

In the hall of more than 400 square meters, more than 30 gambling tables are relatively dense, and the playing methods are mainly blackjack, shuttle, dice, baccarat, etc., and there are no slot machines, no Russian roulette or pachinko machines that are popular in Japan.

There are no waiters in standard uniforms in movie scenes and sexy and glamorous girls with snow-white ravines and slender, round thighs in the halls.

The black dealers at the table, or the dealers, are a little rusty, far from the powerful, clean beauty of the dealers in the casinos of Macau or Las Vegas, and they only communicate with gamblers in simple and stiff Chinese.

It was just past eight o'clock, and not long after the evening twilight of Draculamo had fallen, the casino hall was already full of people and noisy.

Gamblers talk loudly, hit chips, and occasionally let out a roar or two of excitement, and the chips hit the table and are thrown into the pot.

The hall was already full of smoke, and even a few dozen female gamblers were accustomed to sitting at the table with their cigarettes in their hands.

Seeing this scene, Stari was greatly surprised, probably without Draculamo, there would be a corner where so many yellow-skinned Chinese gathered.

Cao Mo just smiled, although there are not many Chinese who have entered Kanem today, but as the economic capital of Kanem, it is also the most prosperous city on the Gold Coast and even in the whole of West Africa, Draculamo, a city bordering the Gulf of Guinea, there are still many Chinese engaged in business and trade here.

There are also a number of Chinese-owned supermarkets, hotels and restaurants in the West Bank district, and there are also several Chinese-owned companies like Dongsheng that have invested directly in the entity.

As one of the most important transit points to Ghana, Benin, Liberia and other West African countries, many Chinese businessmen who go to these countries will stay in Draculamo for various reasons.

Draculamo's nights are full of violent crime, and the Chinese are unfamiliar with the place where they are not familiar with life, but they are generous in their efforts, and they have been repeatedly targeted by criminals in recent years.

In contrast, even though the countries along the Gold Coast had already gotten rid of European and American colonial rule thirty or forty years ago, and the white Europeans and Americans were no longer glorious in Draculamo, the locals still had some deep-seated fear of the old masters in their hearts, and they easily did not dare to invade the whites.

In Draculamo, even during the day in the downtown area, Chinese people do not dare to walk alone, let alone enter the night entertainment run by the locals at will.

The owner of this Golden Yuan casino is an old overseas Chinese, who immigrated to Kanem in the early 80s and put down roots in Dracula Moza, and the operation of this casino is mainly aimed at the Chinese who live in the neighborhood.

The boredom and irritability of being in a foreign land need to be discharged, and it has become one of the few entertainment places where the Chinese in Draculamo can pass the time at night, and a large number of Chinese gamblers linger here every day.

From time to time, there were people at the table who spoke loudly in the domestic dialect, and the curses of losing were so familiar to the ears.

If it weren't for the black dealer and the two fierce black security guards at the entrance of the hall, wearing cheap black suits and carrying semi-automatic rifles, they would have made people suspect that this was some underground casino in China......
