Chapter 70: I'll Accompany You
"Xiaolong, you think slowly. Brother can tell you very clearly that my brother did fake just now. However, how exactly is it faked. God knows what my brother knows, but you don't know. Yan Kai had a proud expression on his face, smiling at Huang Xiaolong. Of course, Xiaolong, you are my brother, and I will still tell you the secret later. My teacher said that the secrets of our industry should never be easily told to any outsiders, but Xiaolong, you are my brother, and it doesn't hurt for me to tell you. β
Huang Xiaolong brushed his hair with both hands, thinking about it for a long time. He closed his eyes slightly, and used his strong memory to restore Yan Kai's action of shuffling and dealing cards just now, and even every detail and every sentence in his mind.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong's mind flashed and he raised his head suddenly. "Kaizi, you can't hide your little skills from me."
"Hmm...... No, isn't it? Yan Kai choked on Huang Xiaolong's words, and the kind of smugness on his face froze, and he was stillborn, he said with a little weakness, "Xiaolong, do you see it?" β
"Hmm." Huang Xiaolong said with certainty. "When you deal the cards, can you not deal me three cards first, and then you will deal yourself three cards when you are done. Can you deal cards one by one? β
"This ...... This ......," Yan Kai said. "One person and one hair? I haven't reached that level yet, and I thought, another month, I can get to this point. β
"Kaizi, I figured it out." Huang Xiaolong's gaze was very calm, and there was an undoubted confidence in his calmness. "Why do you still give yourself a leopard and give me a loose card that I must lose? In fact, it is very simple, as long as you are not mentally retarded, you can figure this out. Because you're not playing on top of this deck, you're playing on your hole cards. So, no matter how I cut or how many cards I cut, it doesn't affect the whole hand. When you deal the cards, you don't go down from the top down, you just pick the hole cards. β
"Uh......" A drop of sweat appeared on Yan Kai's forehead. muttered, "Little Dragon, you...... Hello smart ......"
"And I just combed through my memory, and I found a detail, you hold the cards with your left hand and deal the cards with your right hand." Huang Xiaolong grabbed the deck of playing cards from Yan Kai's hand, and held it with his left hand, "Whenever you deal cards, your left thumb will open a big arc, I thought this was your habitual action, but now I recall it, it was your action when you were out of the old man......" Huang Xiaolong imitated Yan Kai's detailed action when he dealt the cards just now, his left hand holding the card, the thumb opened an arc, with the opening of the thumb, a hole card, that is, the bottom card, was slightly pulled out, and then, The right hand quickly drew out the hole card that was out of the line and sent it to the coffee table. "You shuffle the six cards to be dealt in advance in order, shuffle them to the bottom of this deck of cards, and arrange three loose cards for me in the order of my three cards and your three cards, and then arrange three aces for you."
"Isn't it? This...... You can analyze this...... Xiaolong, have you ever been exposed to a thousand techniques before? Yan Kai looked at Huang Xiaolong with a ghostly expression. I've been practicing hard for half a month, and I also have the guidance of a famous teacher, Nima, it only took you a few minutes to crack the ......"
"Kaizi, you know, I'm not very fond of gambling myself, so I've never been exposed to what you call 'Thousand Techniques'," Huang Xiaolong threw the poker in his hand onto the coffee table. "I'm just analyzing and reasoning, and then carefully recall your every move to find the flaws."
"Awesome! If you kid go to learn a thousand arts, you must be a big man! Yan Kai suddenly became excited. Xiaolong, you see if this will work, I will introduce you to my teacher, let him also teach you a thousand arts, we will be brothers, from now on, our brothers will dominate the gambling world, a million profits, full of money! β
"Wait!" Huang Xiaolong's face suddenly became serious. "Kaizi, is this what you call a craft? You're going to make a fortune from this? β
"Yes," Yan Kai said in a heartfelt manner. "Xiaolong, I admit that at present, my thousand techniques are not in the stream, after all, I have only been practicing for half a month. As you can see, I shuffle the cards very slowly, it takes me three minutes to shuffle the cards I want into hole cards, and I can only shuffle the order of three aces in a row. Shame, my skills are terrible, but I can learn! Xiaolong, let me tell you, my teacher is awesome, he can shuffle the good cards he wants into hole cards in half a minute......"
"Kaizi! You're out of business, you know? Huang Xiaolong interrupted Yan Kai's gushing speech. Can you make money too? β
"Of course you can make money!" Yan Kai said as a matter of course. "Xiaolong, listen to me, our entire SC province has a very prosperous gambling atmosphere, and our Z city is not exempt from vulgarity. You go out casually, the streets are full of mahjong parlors, chess and card rooms, and in every residential area, there are at least 2 or 3 tea houses that play mahjong and fight landlords. Those folk gambling houses are even more numerous. I'll just say this, in our Z city, two-thirds of the bathing centers, hotels, and nightclubs have gambling stalls in them. β
"Xiaolong, then tell me, how big is the market in the gambling industry?"
"This ......" Huang Xiaolong thought for a moment, what Yan Kai said was not nonsense. Take Shuangxi Street as an example, it is a street for supper at night, but in the afternoon, the stall owners, the guys, and the ordinary residents who live in Shuangxi Street will organize themselves to play mahjong, fight the landlords, and kill time. On a double happiness street, there are at least 6 or 7 mahjong parlors and chess and card rooms, and the business is booming, and it is full every afternoon. Sometimes there is no place in the mahjong parlor, so the tables and chairs are moved to the side of the street and the hemp is rubbed in the open air.
"Such a big market feeds a large group of thousands!" Yan Kai said in a very professional tone. "Xiaolong, ten bets nine thousand, in every gambling game, there are thousands of people making money. Even our Shuangxi Street, there are some little old people, who live by playing mahjong and fighting landlords, and they are still alive and well. 'Zuo San'er', you know, right? In his forties, he is an unemployed vagrant, he doesn't like to do any work, he plays mahjong all day long, fights landlords, throws dice, pulls horse stocks, and pushes three public ...... This guy wins eight out of ten bets! Look at the cigarettes he usually smokes, they are all nephrite streams, he takes a taxi when he goes out to run errands, and from time to time he brings a young and tender young lady back to play tooth sacrifices...... Where did he get the money? It's all about gambling to win! This guy is a professional veteran! β
"Damn! Zuo San'er, this guy, I know! Last time, my sister Rong played mahjong with him, and lost more than 600 in one afternoon, grass mud horse, this guy is actually a thousand! Huang Xiaolong immediately remembered this 'Zuo San'er', and immediately gritted his teeth and scolded bitterly.
"People like Zuo San'er are just small characters, they eat in Shuangxi Street, they can't get on the stage, and they don't dare to go out to fight." As soon as the corners of Yan Kai's mouth furled, a sneer of disdain and contempt appeared. "My teacher is several times more powerful than a senior at the level of Zuo San'er! My teacher is a big boss who specializes in playing the field, and it is not a problem to circle tens of thousands of yuan after a game, and when you encounter some overall situations, it is hundreds of thousands in one night! β
Huang Xiaolong finally got the hang of it now...... Yan Kai didn't know where to go, he met an old man, and then worshipped him as a teacher, learned Qianshu, and now he has succeeded in his studies, so he immediately quit his job on the construction site, wanting to survive by Qianshu, and wanting to become rich and handsome by relying on Qianshu...
That's not going to work!
Huang Xiaolong's first instinct was that he had to stop Yan Kai from doing this business. In Huang Xiaolong's view, Qianshu and gambling are both frauds, which are improper, illegal, and cannot be put on the table. And it's very risky.
"No! Kaizi, you must not do this! Nima, you're breaking the law! Huang Xiaolong said sharply. If it were someone else, Huang Xiaolong wouldn't bother to care, you have to be a boss, a pickpocket, a duck, or even steal, rob, kidnap, and sell drugs, it's all about me. Can...... Yan Kai is Huang Xiaolong's good brother!
"Xiaolong, you don't understand, how can this be called a crime?" Yan Kai said with a disdainful face. "It's not illegal to go out of the way! At best, it's gambling, it's not a criminal offense, and getting caught is nothing more than a fine or something. My teacher has been a teacher for decades, and he has been arrested by the police 3 times, and each time he paid a fine, and he was released on the same day, and there was no. Lao Qian does not conflict with the law, at most he can be regarded as a sideline and wandering on the fringes of society. β
"That'...... That's not going to work, damn it, I'm going to cut off my hands! "Huang Xiaolong has also watched some gambling movies in Hong Kong, and he knows that Izumi was arrested, and he cut off his hands and feet at every turn, and if it was serious, he was destroyed with one shot.
"Xiaolong, in this society now, if you want to make money, you have to take some risks. The greater the risk, the higher the return. "Yan Kai has obviously been brainwashed, he has a clear way." You say that if you want to be a young lady, you are also in danger of getting a surname. Nima, even if you don't have a surname, as long as the foreskin is too long, the young lady may get uterine and neck, and the lady may get rotten; When drivers are prone to lumbar disc herniation; When an online writer is prone to cervical spondylitis; White-collar workers are all sub-healthy; Moving bricks and picking cement at the construction site, if you are unlucky, a brick falls, even if you have iron skills, you have to kneel...... Which line is not dangerous, you say? β
"Uh......" Huang Xiaolong was speechless when Yan Kai said it on the phone.
If you think about it, it's actually the same thing. Take himself as an example, working as a security manager in a nightclub is also risky, and if he offends a guest with a background one day, Nima can't eat and walk around.
If you want to say that there is no risk at all, there must be a profession, but the benefits are definitely relatively low.
"Little Dragon! People are not rich without windfalls, and horses are not fertile without night grass! In today's society, the bold starve to death! Yan Kai's right fist was clenched and he took an oath. Looking at it, which person has a successful career and has a clean butt? What kind of entrepreneurs, rich businessmen, which one didn't start by shady deeds? β
"Kaizi, Nima, you're too extreme, aren't you?" Huang Xiaolong hurriedly argued.
"Xiaolong, you're naΓ―ve. Do you think that there are people in this society who are well-behaved and decent and make a fortune? I'm not extreme, I'm seeing through the essence of society. Yan Kai said confidently.
Suddenly, Huang Xiaolong's ghost sent a god to think of Yuan Datou...... This guy was a criminal society in his early years, bullying and dominating the market, making a lot of money, using all kinds of non-legal and violent means to accumulate original funds, and now he has bleached and opened a splendid nightclub, which is called ...... Outstanding private entrepreneur.
As soon as he thought of this, Huang Xiaolong's momentum weakened, "That'...... That, Kaizi, maybe what you said makes sense. However, you don't have to be a boss to make money, right? I said it, I will let you and Sister Rong do it, and the monthly salary of tens of thousands of dollars a month is still there. If you don't want to be in the smoked duck business, I'...... I can introduce you to work at a nightclub, I'm ...... Well, I'm the security manager of that nightclub now, so arranging for one person to go in shouldn't be a big deal. β
"That, that, that! Dragons! You yourself work in a nightclub, what is a nightclub? Aiding and abetting! It's also a profession that goes off the beaten track! Yan Kai seemed to grab Huang Xiaolong's braids, "Xiaolong, we two brothers, one works in a nightclub, and the other is an old man, hehe, this is called gathering like things, right?" Hahahaha. Just kidding, just kidding. Anyway, with our kind of education and connections, don't expect to get rich. β
After a pause, Yan Kai's eyes were suddenly filled with a very melancholy expression. "Xiaolong, fate is very unfair. As soon as some people are born, they can live in a mansion with a golden key, they can drive a famous car, they can go to the aristocratic schools in Europe and America to study, they can be rich and beautiful, and they can throw it to the silk when they are finished...... Hehe, like us, born in Shuangxi Street since childhood, our parents are bitter people, busy all their lives, pulling us up, taking a pension, maybe we have to supplement the family we formed in the future to raise children for us. And our generation, if nothing else, will still repeat the old path of their parents and mothers, and when they reach marriageable age, they will marry a woman who is the right person, or find a country woman as their wife, and then be busy all their lives, supporting their wives and children...... Hehe, that's how the cycle goes. From generation to generation, it is all diao|silk. β
The more Yan Kai spoke, the more sad he became, and the corner of his eyes suddenly seeped out of the flickering crystalline substance. "But I don't want that! I don't want to live my life doing nothing! This world is very beautiful, as long as you have money, you can enjoy its wind|scratch! I also want to be white and rich! I also want to live in a big house! I want to drive a sports car too! I also want my parents to have a good life! I also want my son and daughter to be rich and second generation from birth! β
"I saw Liang Xiaoshu last month." Yan Kai looked at Huang Xiaolong with a sad face.
"Hey......" Huang Xiaolong let out a long sigh and was silent.
Liang Xiaoshu is a classmate of Huang Xiaolong and Yan Kai Primary School, a class flower. In junior high school, the three of them were still classmates, and Liang Xiaoshu was still the class flower.
Yan Kai has had a crush on Liang Xiaoshu since he was a child, and when he went to junior high school, he began to transform his crush into a bright love, and launched a tidal emotional offensive against Liang Xiaoshu.
However, Yan Kai failed. Not only did it fail, but it was also hit badly. Just like the bloody plot in many movies, Liang Xiaoshu tore up the love letter that Yan Kai wrote to her in front of the whole class.
For this matter, Yan Kai went home and directly dried a bottle of liquor, almost hung up, and finally got a gastric lavage in the hospital for rescue, and finally picked up a life.
"Didn't I hear of it...... She, she found a ...... What is the rich|second|generation......" Huang Xiaolong said cautiously.
"Yes, the rich second generation is a mongrel, he played with her for a few years, lost her youth, and then kicked her. I'm stupid, and I'm going to find her and comfort her. I, what a complete idiot, I still confessed to her, I said that I still like her as much as before, I am willing to work hard for her, to earn money, I don't care about her past. Guess what she said? β
"Uh......" Huang Xiaolong was speechless. There was a sore pain in my heart.
"She told me that I was too poor, with no money, no car, no house. She said, when I earn money one day and buy a house and a car, ......" As she spoke, Yan Kaiwa cried, "Xiaolong...... I, I don't want to be a diao|silk! I'm going to make money! β
"I'm rubbing! Nima, are you interested in crying here for a broken flower and a willow?! That's all you need! Huang Xiaolong scolded in a tone that hated iron but not steel. How many years have you been here, and you're still thinking about Liang Xiaoshu? She's a very material person, don't think about her, okay? β
"Xiaolong, I swear, I want to make a lot of money!" Yan Kai said with a crying voice. "I'll follow my teacher to the field tomorrow..."
Looking at Yan Kai's unwavering expression, Huang Xiaolong knew that it was over, this guy's stubborn temper had come up, and the nine cows couldn't pull it back.
In fact, we are all adults and have our own way of thinking and making decisions, and you should never try to instill your thoughts into someone else's head. That's childish behavior that can't be and doesn't respect others.
But Huang Xiaolong couldn't have watched his brother have an accident. Huang Xiaolong subconsciously thought that if he walked at night for a long time, he would break into ghosts, and an old man would not miss once or twice...... A hundred times without a miss, but he can never guarantee a miss next time.
Once Lao Qian misses, he will be planted in this life.
"Kaizi, what you just said does make sense, so what, I won't persuade you...... But with your current skills, you also want to win? Huang Xiaolong looked at Yan Kai and said.
"Xiaolong, don't worry, I'm just helping my teacher now, I'm playing with the teacher, he is responsible for making thousands, and I'm on the side. Occasionally, I will cooperate and get some tricks of two ghosts carrying a sedan chair. Don't worry, when my thousand skills don't reach the level of being independent, the teacher won't let me play the main force. Yan Kai comforted. Don't worry, Xiaolong. Hehe, tomorrow I will go to the field, in fact, I will not really do it, and tomorrow I will also feed the pigs. β
"Feed the pigs?" Huang Xiaolong simply didn't understand these jargons.
"Well, feed the pigs. Every game, especially the overall situation, before we make a move, we will deliberately lose a few games, the purpose is to fatten the pig first, and when it is time to slaughter, go down with a knife, full of oil! Hey, hey, hey. Yan Kai laughed with a sinister eyebrow, and there were some expressions that were almost greedy in his eyes.
Caring is chaotic, Huang Xiaolong's heart is all on his brother now, he doesn't want his brother to make any mistakes. After thinking about it for a while, Huang Xiaolong blurted out. "Tomorrow? I'll rest tomorrow, and I'll be free, or I'll go over with you to have a look." β
"You want to go?" Yan Kai was stunned for a moment.
"Kaizi, I can hide it for you for the time being, and I won't tell my uncle and aunt, but I have to go and see what you will do tomorrow! I'll see if there's any danger! Huang Xiaolong was colored.
"That's it......" Yan Kai looked at Huang Xiaolong's serious expression, knowing that he couldn't resist it, so he had no choice but to say. Well, tomorrow morning, let's go out together. Xiaolong, remember, when you meet my teacher, don't talk nonsense, you have to behave, understand? When you get to that gambling stall, don't say anything, don't show your feet. Let me tell you, that's a big situation of down to 100,000 or 200,000! β
"Okay, just take me there, I promise I won't harm your business." Huang Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, Kaizi, you go back to rest first, remember to come and call me tomorrow morning."
