Chapter 1320: Invited to Visit
People in the world are good at gambling, everything is money at work, and it doesn't matter what the gambler's own conditions are, just thinking about the money in other people's pockets.
If you don't have money and want to get rich overnight, if you have money looking for excitement, if you play in a casino, then in the end it's cheaper casino owner - the casino makes money by accurately calculating the difference between the probability of winning and losing, and the gambler's chance of winning is always slightly lower than the chance of losing, and the average of this difference becomes the casino's income.
Long bets are bound to lose, that's how it came about.
There are legal casinos in the United States, but not everywhere, each state has its own constitution, and the attitude towards this gambling state is different, and there will be only two states that allow gambling to exist legally, the most famous are Atlantic City, New Jersey, and Las Vegas, Nevada.
Gambling was only legalized in New Jersey in 1976, when a referendum was held to revive the region's declining economy.
As for Las Vegas, it has been a legal casino since the 19th century.
Gambling is legal in both states, and many of the other states have also relaxed restrictions on gambling because the United States enacted the Indian Gambling Regulations Act four years ago, allowing Indian tribes to operate casinos in their reserves.
The government's original intention was to hope that the Indians would be able to support themselves and reduce their dependence on the federal government.
Don't think about how reliable the policy decided by politicians is patted on the head, the Indians have no money, and it takes a lot of money to open a casino, which requires investors, at most, to find an Indian as a decoration. Let a group of Indians who were originally so poor open casinos, and only those investors who already have a lot of money will be fattened, and most Indians will not be able to get real benefits at all.
But there are some benefits to this legal casino in a poor area, at least to provide some employment: Battle Mount is in Nevada, and although there are Indians, they are not needed, and it is legal to open a casino here as long as the formalities are complete.
If there weren't a casino, this town wouldn't be able to feed so many people!
Nevada is poor, take a map of the geographical environment at a glance, you can find that the most barren land in the United States is almost surrounded by Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico, the worst of which is Nevada, in such a large western state you will not find a place with natural conditions "abundant water and grass".
If you are poor, if you are poor, you will think about change, then open a casino - this is the way the Nevadans came up with it.
Chinese food is solved in Chinese restaurants, but Zhang Nan and the boss inside have no common language, the boss in his 40s is a third-generation Chinese, he can't speak Mandarin, and he can't even speak Cantonese, and he has long been Americanized.
The food provided in the restaurant is basically Americanized, Zhang Nan looked at the menu and asked for a Cantonese cured fried rice, and the other guys did the same, so they didn't ask for anything else, and the result was that the tips were more than the cost of the meal.
Cured fried rice, with meat and rice, 4 US dollars per serving, the original price is only 2.5 US dollars, the price is not expensive in poor places, but it is not too cheap.
Then let the kitchen make two large portions of egg drop soup, 4 dollars each, and the bodyguards stared at the chef in the kitchen.
When the bodyguard paid the money, he gave Zhang Franklin, no need to look for it, just use it as an air conditioning fee, and Zhang Nan's group also planned to sit here for more meetings.
After a meal, I feel that the business here is okay, but the customers who come are basically two or three dollars a meal, and even the coffee is 80 cents a cup.
In a Chinese restaurant in New York, a Cantonese spicy fried rice is $4.5 and egg fried rice is $3, which is not expensive for a casual meal in the United States relative to the income level.
Zhang Nan doesn't have the habit of drinking coffee after meals, although the owner of this restaurant has a common language with this distinguished guest who didn't expect to come, he still doesn't want the other party to eat some fried rice and leave.
Although it has been Americanized, I didn't expect the boss in his 40s to brew a pot of black tea, which is said to be still exported from Huaxia, and I don't know how many years it has been aged.
Zhang Nan generally only drinks green tea and semi-fermented tea, and has no research on black tea, which smells very fragrant. Here, Guan Xingquan invited the boss to sit down with him by the way, chatted a few words, and by the way, he also watched the boss drink by himself.
The boss said that Zhang Nan's blessing was dragged on, business was very good today, and some people should have come to see Mr. Allen himself, and eat and drink by the way.
This is a restaurant, and it is a guest to come in, and Zhang Nan has no intention of covering this place, which is very rude.
The cowboy came, the farmer who passed by, even the shopkeeper who opened a shop nearby came to have a drink, and even the principal of the school in Battle Munting heard about Zhang Nan's plane having a flat tire and staying in the town temporarily, and he also came with several teachers and students, hoping that Mr. Allen would visit the school.
Where is this, or is it difficult for Zhang Nan to refuse the invitation of the principal named John, who made it take him two hours for the plane to arrive, is this going back to the airport?
In the United States, it is not easy to be invited by the principal of a school to visit the school, which shows that the other party respects you and makes excuses not to go.
Let's go, at the request of the restaurant owner, I took a photo with the other party in the restaurant.
It's a very American request, this restaurant, café often likes to hang photos of celebrities here on the wall, and a group photo with the restaurant staff is the best, since people open their mouths, then you can't push.
As more and more people came to the restaurant, it became inconvenient to stay any longer, so he agreed to the invitation of the man named John.
The school is in the center of the town, not big, but the facilities seem to be very complete, and there is a stadium with a 400-meter standard track.
Grades 1 to 12 arrive, and the farthest students have to take an hour's bus ride in the morning to get to school: this is the west, and there is no traffic jam.
Far enough.
Principal John invited him to obviously increase the school's popularity, and by the way, let Mr. Allen say a few words to the students.
Instead of gathering students in an auditorium or gymnasium, the American way is to walk into a classroom where classes are taking place and interact with their classmates.
Imagine if Bill Gates walked into a middle school classroom and chatted with the students, no one would have thought: Who is this kid, there are five or six people!
Zhang Nan has not received an American school education, if he can't say anything in the general curriculum of Americans, Principal John also took this into account and negotiated with Zhang Nan.
"Geography class? This is not good, I definitely failed American geography. ”
Zhang Nan was a little dizzy.
"No, Mr. Allen, this 9th grade geography class is about minerals, and the teacher gave homework a month ago to the students to find some mineral specimens and fossils..."
That's fine, just don't dig up the gold for me.
