Chapter 104: Simple Happiness
Coming out of Mr. Yang Er's room, I suddenly felt very depressed in my heart. Originally, in Toronto, all the troubles of the angels of hell in the future were successfully solved. According to Yang Wei, I came up with three strategies, one of which is to stabilize the rear. Win the full support of the elder Sorin with local interests.
And now it seems that I have passed the test of old Thorin, and have earned his true trust, and the Hell's Angels have clearly stood on my side of the alliance.
There is no doubt that my trip to Toronto, although full of twists and turns, and there were many thrills along the way, the results were very satisfying. In the end, I was very proud of the ending. After all, I got the best results I wanted.
But I was suddenly invited to Las Vegas by Mr. Yang Er, especially the conversation just now, which almost ruined all my good mood!
Yang Wei...... Yang Wei...... Alas, it's about Yang Wei again.
Although in the room, when I was talking to Mr. Yang Er, what I said was very decisive and very simple, and it seemed to show my attitude very firmly. But I ...... in my heart Can you really let go of the name "Yang Wei"?
God knows!
Although when I was injured, I ruthlessly refused Yang Wei's visit, and said such absolute words to her: Since you have made a choice, don't waver anymore.
However, isn't that a kind of inner revenge for Yang Wei's previous indifference to me?
When Yang Wei's letter was placed in front of me, I seemed to see the woman who racked her brains for me wholeheartedly and cared for me wholeheartedly, especially the tear stains on the letterhead, and the word "cherished" written in the handwriting that almost trembled at the end.
How can my heart never waver?
Yang Wei was shaken, and so was I...... But now Mr. Yang Er has stepped forward.
Ha ha...... Men and women who love each other but can't be together for many reasons, and ...... The elders of the family who stand in the middle and make a difference.
This is really a bit like the bloody romance TV series in Taiwan's eight-o'clock file.
Such a night, such a mood, is really not suitable for a person to go back to the room and sleep depressedly looking at the ceiling.
Luckily, this is Las Vegas. And I know that just downstairs from here, there's a casino.
As a guest of honor personally greeted by Mr. Yang Er, my every move was closely protected by the people of the Yang family.
And I also learned that the hotel I am in now is the first casino and the first hotel operated by the Yang family in Las Vegas...... Of course, because of the age. The rapid development of a monster-like city like Las Vegas. The old hotel and casino were already struggling to adapt to the new needs, so now the Yang family basically uses it as a base camp, and the hotel's business is just a commemorative decoration. Except for the casino downstairs, which is still open for business, the hotel upstairs basically doesn't accept any customers, and only some business guests of the Yang family will be invited to stay in this place.
I just looked in the corridor casually for a while, and immediately someone from the Yang family appeared in front of me and politely asked me if I needed anything.
"Wine, cigarettes...... Then, take me downstairs to the casino and help me change some chips. ”
My request was quickly accommodated.
Yang Wen, who picked me up from Las Vegas, quickly came to my side and accompanied me to the casino downstairs, while someone brought me the best cigarettes and wine. Yang Wen acted as an introducer.
"Mr. Chen. The history of this casino can be traced back to the establishment of the casino! As the first legal casino in the casino. This place has almost witnessed the historical process of Las Vegas's prosperity. Of course, in terms of scale, although it has also been expanded, it has not been able to meet the needs of rì since ten years ago. Compared with the current large-scale casinos with thousands of gambling tables at every turn, this old casino with a long history seems to be a little shabby. However, there are still many old gamblers in Las Vegas who like to come here to meet old friends and savor the feeling of memory...... Oh, and by the way, it was also the venue for three gambling tournaments. "[Heaven's Kiss Hand Punch]
Yang Wen pushed my wheelchair out of the elevator to the casino, and he continued: "Now, the hotel upstairs is no longer open to the public, and this casino is only semi-open. It is inaccessible to regular tourists, and only those with membership can come here...... In other words, it's now a memorial-like place. But don't underestimate this place, this kind of membership is not something that ordinary people can live...... Because in this casino, almost all of them are veteran gamblers, and maybe one of the customers you see at any table may be a contestant in a casino gambling competition. ”
"Oh?" I said casually: "So, this is a place where a lot of masters are gathered?" I know that in a casino, the more experts there are, the less profitable the casino is. If all the gamblers come and the money is won by them, won't the casino lose money? ”
Yang Wen smiled slightly, he seemed to be used to such a question, and said lightly: "Oh, it's not like this, because here, there are some special regulations." ”
"What special regulations?"
The clean young man smiled: "Sir, you must also know that when a person has a skill that is higher than ordinary people, or wealth, or status...... When people are in this environment, although it may bring great success and career success, it will often lose a lot of ...... Like, the fun of being an ordinary person. ”
I nodded, and my heart moved, and I couldn't help but whisper, "Hmm...... Fun as an ordinary person...... Interesting. ”
"Yes." Yang Wen said very easily: "You see, when a gambling master or a professional gambler goes to the table, the table is the battlefield and their job!" They need to count the cards with all their heart, to calculate the probability carefully, to play their gambling skills desperately...... In other words, they are working! You know, when something becomes work, it's hard to have fun. And these gambling masters, when they make money by gambling, although they can earn money, they lose the 'fun of gambling'. ”
"Makes sense." I quickly understood what he meant, and casually said, "Even if it's the simplest roll of the dice, the happiest moment is the moment when you throw the dice and don't know the outcome!" That's the joy of gambling! And if you rely on gambling to listen to the points of the dice, although it is a sure win, it loses the fun and becomes a pure job. ”
Yang Wen smiled: "Mr. Chen, you are an expert. ”
I shook my head, looked around, and said lightly: "No, I'm not an expert, and I don't even have much research on gambling." ”
Indeed, as Yang Wen said, compared with the super large casinos in Las Vegas that are often decorated with golden walls, this casino with more than 100 gaming tables is much shabby.
And obviously, the Yang family did not deliberately pursue pomp, although everything here was very clean and meticulous. But in terms of the style of decoration, it is full of old-fashioned taste from decades ago. Even the dealers at the table wore the old-fashioned big bow ties, and the rows of slot machines next to them were old machines that were almost impossible to see on the market today.
"The guests here are here to enjoy the fun of gambling. Many of them are true masters. But gambling here, when rolling the dice, they will never deliberately listen to the dice to judge the points, and when playing poker, they will not bother to count the cards, just let themselves enjoy the fun of the game as an ordinary person...... Gambling is just a game. Yang Wen still had a smile on his face: "So, in this place, the bets are very small, and we even set an upper limit on the amount of bets that can be accepted, and the upper limit is set very low, because the guests who come here are not here to win money, but to enjoy the game." ”
Yang Wen pushed me around and looked around, and I found that what he said was right, unlike other casinos I have been to, the guests here seem to be very relaxed, and the guests at the gaming table do not have the red-eyed scenes of gamblers in other casinos, all of them are leisurely and complacent.
Judging from their clothes, they are all wealthy people, but there are often bursts of cheers and sighs, but they are only for a few hundred dollars to win or lose.
Yang Wen quickly exchanged a few thousand dollars of chips for me, and then led me past several gaming tables.
Since this is a place to enjoy the game, I certainly don't take out my gambling ring and gamble with other people, everyone else is gaming, and if you cheat, then even if you win, you won't have fun.
Moreover, I really quickly experienced the fun as Yang Wen said!
It's really a wonderful thing.
Here, it is likely that the opponent with the playing cards next to you is a player in a gambling tournament, or a famous professional gambler. But when they don't use any gambling skills and simply play luck with you to gamble the game, even in the face of the God of Gamblers, maybe you can win a few hands against him!
For example, I just won an old man who won his 300 dollars in Stud, and Yang Wen told me afterwards that that old guy was actually the runner-up in a gambling competition! It is a master at the level of the gambling king! When I was young, I once represented a casino to pick a scene in other places, swept six casinos in one night, and swept away hundreds of millions of dollars!
