Chapter 1002: Odds
Open the cooler and inside is pizza, fried chicken thigh burgers and the like. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lin Yuan usually almost doesn't eat such things, but now with such conditions, he has to eat these foods that he thinks are very unhealthy with Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Kuwata Benkuma.
John waited for the three of them to finish eating, didn't say anything more, packed up the wrapping paper, put it in the incubator together, bowed deeply to Lin Yuan, and left immediately.
Kuwatian Benxiong smiled: "President Lin, this disciple of yours is very attentive. ”
"It's nothing, there are disciples who do their work, this is an obvious feature of the Chinese master-apprentice lineage. The educational differences between the East and the West are very prominent in this regard. The East pays attention to inheritance, that is, everything must be based on tradition, and the master's teaching shall prevail, thus creating the supreme dignity of the master. ”
Tokugawa Nobuyasu sighed, "Yes, the Eastern civilization is centered on China, and Japan has been the most affected. In the early years, Japan was like this, but later under the influence of the West, it gradually began to respect the individuality, and to a certain extent, students paid more attention to thinking, which seemed to be very good, but in fact it was very detrimental to inheriting the essence of civilization mastered by the older generation. ”
"Yes, even in China, some civilizational traditions have been greatly impacted, and people have gradually recognized the Western civilization's understanding of respect for the individual. This is a great step forward in terms of people's yearning for freedom, and the mind is not imprisoned, but too much emphasis on individual freedom sometimes ignores the fact that people are actually working as a team. ”
Lin Yuan's words made Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Kuwata Motokuma nod their heads again and again.
I have to say that in many things, their views are still very inclined to the ideological guiding concept of Chinese civilization. At any time, a formed nation cannot be a loose group of people forming a strong state.
Only with a highly disciplined organization can the country give full play to the strength of its team and stand tall among the world's great powers.
If you put too much emphasis on the individual, you will have the suspicion that discipline is difficult to guarantee, and if you put too much emphasis on the collective, you may be greatly constrained.
Western thinkers have not thought about this problem, but they do not have a practical solution. Huaxia has this kind of thinking, that is, Huaxia's famous moderation is too much.
The golden mean lies in having the right to be economic, having the main rigid bottom line, and having expedient measures when dealing with complex things. Having the right is the mean, and adding the length of things, but dividing by two, this is not the mean, but just the skin of the mean.
There is no education to be happy, it's like learning survival skills, wild animals in nature, follow the law of the jungle, herbivores, you have to run fast to avoid the pursuit of predators to survive. Carnivores, on the other hand, must be able to catch up with their prey in order to survive.
When animals are young, they also like to play and explore the world. But they can't learn their own survival skills, so they can only say goodbye to this world sooner or later.
One of the most important characteristics of the inheritance in the Eastern civilization is that it is very strict, especially when it comes to playing basic skills, which is a bit almost cruel.
Under this kind of education, the basic learning of Oriental people is very solid, and when they carry out high-end education in the future, they will have a good foundation and quickly accept high-end knowledge content.
Western education is about fully respecting nature, and children should grow up in happy games. These children are indeed happy, but what about when they grow up? When the welfare of the state is enough to support too many people to enjoy the welfare, everything seems to be taken for granted.
However, when the state is not enough to support countless people who do not work hard to enjoy welfare, looking back at all the social systems, we realize that the so-called ideological theorists who won countless applause at the beginning have won applause and respect by flattering the public, and have actually dug a huge hole for the country.
The saddest thing is that the Western view of thinking has a great influence on the thinking of the Easterners, so that the contemporary Easterners tend to be completely Westernized in the concept of education.
This is very dangerous, the essence of the Eastern civilization is the Chinese civilization, and the essence of the Chinese civilization is to pay great attention to very hard training from a young age.
Tokugawa Nobuyasu and Kuwata Motokuma, like Lin Yuan, have a deep feeling about this, and the three of them can't influence others, they can start from themselves and transmit this concept to the people around them, and it can still be done.
Lin Yuan and the three of them couldn't argue with the waiter in the hotel like John, thinking that they had to control the time in the bath, so they hurriedly took a shower and went to bed.
The next day, Tokugawa Nobuyasu left all his men at the inn, and he rushed to the qualifying tournament with Hayashi Gen and Kuwata Motokuma.
Las Vegas, although there is no overcrowding, the streets are quite orderly, but when you get to the casino, you see crowds, like a pie-in-the-sky good thing here, all blocked here.
Each casino is equipped with an exquisite guide table at the entrance. The most eye-catching publicity of the guidance table is about the outside market of the World Gambling Championship.
There are a total of 32 people who participated in the World Gambling King Tournament, 16 people who entered the main tournament through the qualifying round, and 16 candidates who can participate in the main tournament without going through the qualifying round, which is the sixteen people led by the legend Qin Baoshan in the gambling world, Lin Yuan knows one of them, Chu Xiong!
Those who can participate in the main game will have a peripheral handicap, and sixteen people who have been confirmed to participate have odds below, while the other sixteen are waiting for vacancies.
Under the sixteen that have already been determined, different odds are offered. Qin Baoshan's odds of winning the championship of this gambling king competition are six to one, which is the most optimistic one among all players.
The odds offered for Chu Xiong are twenty-two to one. Among all the contestants, they are ranked third from the bottom.
Lin Yuan inquired about the purchase rules, and bet 10 million US dollars on Chu Xiong's body.
Seeing Lin Yuan so generous, the beautiful welcome lady at the guide desk immediately showed great enthusiasm.
"Excuse me, sir, is there anything you need to serve?"
Lin Yuan was a little stunned, this beauty's Chinese language is very good, although it is still a little stiff in tone, but it can be concluded that this beauty's Chinese language is definitely high-end.
When I thought about it, I was relieved. Although the overall national strength of China is not super strong, there is a consensus in the service industry around the world that if you want to make money, you have to serve the Chinese people.
Waiters like this who are proficient in the Chinese language and have a very good overall image are estimated to be the most popular waiters in Las Vegas.
"Pretty lady, I'm here to participate in the World Gambling Championship Qualifiers, can you help me find a place to compete?"
"Oh, it's a contestant. Sir, it is an honor to serve you, please come with me and I will take you to the place. ”
The beautiful waitress led Lin Yuan and the three of them to the elevator, and when they reached the sixth floor, the beautiful waitress led the three of them to a circular arch, gently pushed the door, bowed and made a gesture of please.
Lin Yuan took out two hundred dollars, stuffed it into the hand of the beautiful waitress, and said with a smile: "Thank you, beautiful lady, I believe that with your guidance, I will have good luck." ”
The beautiful waitress bowed again and said, "Sir, you will definitely have good luck, I believe you will definitely appear in the main competition." ”
In the qualifiers, the competition is very cruel. The requirements are very simple, in the designated venue of the qualifier, exchange 10 million special chips specially made for the qualifier, if you can win 100 million chips, you will be eligible for the next round of the qualifier until the sixteen main players are decided.
Although Lin Yuan and the three of them only played on behalf of the Benyin gambling house, all three of them had the opportunity to participate in the qualifying tournament, and all three of them exchanged 10 million US dollars in chips and prepared to fight at the venue today.
Tokugawa Nobuyasu said: "Kuwata-kun, Mr. Hayashi, the three of us, should we get together? or fight separately?"
Kuwata Benxiong didn't speak, and turned his eyes to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "The three of us will be separated for the time being, and make the final decision depending on the situation." This time, I mainly came for the main race, to see Senior Brother Chu and bring him back. If I don't win enough chips, I hope you can help. ”
Kuwata Benxiong immediately responded: "President Lin, there is absolutely no problem. When the time comes, let's see the situation, if all three of us can win $100 million, it is best, if not, let's bet on the three of us and lose all the chips to you. ”
Although Tokugawa Nobuyasu is not as involved in Lin Yuan as Kuwata Benxiong, the Benyin Gambling House behind him still needs the Kuwata family to operate and obtain a larger license, so there can be no objection to Kuwata Benkuma's proposal, and he also agreed.
Kuwata Benxiong went to the mahjong table, Tokugawa Shintai went to blackjack, and Lin Yuan still went to the stud table where he was most sure.
Lin Yuan wandered around the casino, trying to find a gambling table that was not too noisy.
However, there are too many players in the casino, and members with VIP qualifications can watch the game, and almost all the stud tables are overcrowded.
Suddenly, Lin Yuan saw that there was a stud table in the center of the casino with a vacant seat, although there were many people crowded outside, there was a vacant seat on the side of the table.
Lin Yuan walked over and sat down in the empty space next to the gambling table.
In an instant, Lin Yuan felt that something was wrong, except for the dealer, everyone's eyes were staring at him, and everyone looked at him with a very strange look.
Lin Yuan was a little strange, could it be that there was something wrong with him? Impossible, this is the place to participate in the competition, and there will be no reason not to participate in the competition.
