Chapter Ninety-Eight: Non-refundable gifts
Duanmu Ci came to the Rare Club this time to probe the wind to see the direction of the wind, and the result was not what he expected, basically most of the people or families had a happy attitude towards the turmoil of this management meeting, and they were not prepared to see the injustice and draw their swords to help.
What are you kidding, everyone is a friendship, but in business, usually when you come to me to drink, I must use the best champagne to entertain you, drink as much as you want, and don't frown. But you're going to find me to fight Morgan together? I'm sorry, I've been sick lately, so I'm not in sight!
In fact, this can't be said to be people's hearts are cold, after all, everyone is the master of a big family, and tens of thousands of people are eating the rice in their own bowls, so they can't smash the guy who eats. Even if it was Aslan, if it wasn't because his family was involved this time, then the Hilton family would at most vote against it when voting, and there would be no other superfluous actions.
Besides, this matter is not a life-and-death crisis, at most they are just expelled from the management committee, and they can't shed tears for the crocodile, young man, what are you afraid of losing face? Sleep and wash your face again!
These bastards thought about things very easily, and as for the side effects or something, they just ignored it, Duanmu Ci looked at Ivan, and suddenly said, "It's rare for me to come here, I want to have a good time, I don't know if you want to be this tour guide?" ”
Ivan paused for a moment, it seemed that he didn't expect that Duanmu Ci would still have Yaxing to play, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
He smiled, "I'm happy to accompany you." ”
"Then let's go to the Casino de Monte Carlo!" Duanmu Ci proposed with great interest.
"Huh?" Ivan was dumbfounded.
……
……
The Casino de Monte-Carlo was founded in 1856 as the first casino opened by Prince Charles III of Monaco in the north of the city in order to solve the financial crisis.
Legend has it that the overall layout of the Grand Casino de Monte Carlo was designed by GAMIER, the same designer as the Paris Opera, and the ceiling and walls inside are classical and magnificent, like a luxurious palace, and it is one of the three major casinos in the world, known as "the most luxurious casino".
Ivan and Duanmuci rode through the medieval buildings in an ornate carriage. By this time the rain had been very light, and it could only wet the brim of the groom's hat sitting in front.
"Monaco's financial situation was so difficult that the Prince of Monaco had to open this casino as a last resort, and it turned out to be useful. After the casino was taken over by the government in 1967, by the end of the last century, the casino's annual revenue had exceeded 40 million francs. Ivan said eloquently, "It's just that natives are not allowed to gamble here, so they still earn gold coins from us outsiders." ”
He concluded by saying. "I wonder if you have enough money? I don't want to play slots with you in the big shed outside the casino! "The son of the richest man in Russia is accustomed to contempt for others in terms of wealth.
Duanmu Ci glanced at him and said slowly, "I'm just afraid you didn't bring enough." ”
"Huh?" Ivan was puzzled.
"If you don't have enough, whose money can I win?" Duanmu Ci said quietly.
Ivan blackfaced.
Duanmu Ci and the two got out of the carriage at the door of the casino, Duanmu Ci walked straight to the door, leaving Ivan alone with a black face to pay in the back, Ivan was not reluctant to pay the 100 francs, he was mainly unhappy that Duanmu Ci took advantage of him.
When there was still some distance from the door, the neatly dressed waiter opened the door behind the door, and Duanmu Ci nodded. Then a 100 franc tip was handed into his hand, which was both a tip and a ticket. Because the casino has a rule, if you want to enter the casino, you must pay an entrance fee of 10 euros first
"Do you know Dostoevsky?" Duanmu Ci suddenly asked.
"Of course I do." Ivan puffed out his chest proudly, "That's our great Russian writer!" ”
"That great writer of yours once wrote a novel called "The Gambler", whose Chinese characters can be described as gnashing teeth." Duanmu Ci didn't know what he remembered, and suddenly smiled, "He lost here back then." ”
"You know all this?" Ivan looked at Duanmu Ci suspiciously.
"Of course I do." Duanmu Ci said to the old god. Then I added in my heart, because I was the one who won him!
The interior of Monte Carlo is luxurious, the interior is still decorated in the style of the early 20th century, and the ceilings and walls are classical and magnificent. Painted with grand frescoes, the decorations and curtains are gorgeous, and the crystal lamps and red carpets that sparkle like diamonds during the day make it extraordinary.
One can't help but think of the scene when European celebrities flocked to the scene, in that era when technology exploded and people's living standards were greatly improved, the spiritual life of the aristocracy became increasingly empty. They fill this hole with the same amount of money they spend in the casinos, where famous gamblers, the Prince of Monaco, British aristocrats, and speculative merchants from all over the world smell of drunkenness.
After entering the door, I raised my eyes and saw a huge stage, where you could watch the opera performance, Duanmu Ci and the two of them bypassed the stage and pushed open a door, which was considered to be the official entry into the casino.
Duanmu Ci and Ivan handed their bank cards to the tray of the passing waiter and asked them to exchange chips, not much, 200,000 francs, it seemed that it was indeed just a joke.
"What do you want to play?" Ivan asked, holding a bag of colorful chips.
"Let's go to the roulette wheel first." Duanmu Ci said nonchalantly.
The result of the game surprised Duanmuci, because he found that the luck of this Russian was simply so good that it was bursting, and the chips of 200,000 francs were doubled in less than an hour, and this unusual luck attracted everyone's attention, and the gamblers followed him to place bets, and it was not good for a while!
On the other hand, Duanmu Ci is a good star, but he is unlucky, but he has a big hand, and he almost lost 200,000 francs in chips, and there are only a few thousand yuan left to support the scene, which is pitiful compared to Ivan on the side.
Seeing this, Ivan laughed even more proudly.
Duanmu Ci calmly threw the last bit of chips into the gambling board, and after losing all of them unexpectedly, he clapped his hands in a chic manner, turned his head and said with a smile, "This is not fun, how about we go play something else?" ”
"Not convinced?" Ivan squinted at someone, "Then it's up to you, I don't care." ”
"How about we go play 21 then? Play alone. The thousand-year-old gambler, who is proficient in mathematics and probability, said "with bad intentions."
Ivan laughed vigorously, casually threw the bulging chips to the attendants accompanying him, and followed Duanmu Ci to change halls, he was determined to win Duanmu Ci's bank card!
……
……
Half an hour later, a gray-faced Ivan left the casino with trembling lips, ignoring the Paris Hotel on the left side of the casino and the Paris Café on the right, and he found a car in front of a brand-name clothing store and left the sad place, the fare was sponsored by Duanmu Ci.
Duanmu Ci watched him leave with a smile, and took out his mobile phone behind the mountain of chips to make a call, "I just played cards with the heir of the Mikhail family, presumably someone has already taken a photo, right?" Well, it's good, send the photo to his dad, didn't Morgan buy our street, we should give them a little discount for such a big customer! Well, give them a little bit of a giveaway, I hope they can like it and live up to my good intentions. ”
Bu Tongxun smiled on the other end of the phone, "Morgan likes pomp, this is their family style, so they will definitely like the gifts we give, even if they don't like it, they can't ask for a return, because this is a gift." (To be continued.) )
