After dinner, Zhang Wen and the fat man returned to the hotel, Zhang Wen studied for almost three hours, and finally chose a small foreign league, no way that the five major leagues have not started yet, only these small leagues can be played, the game starts at ten o'clock in the evening, the fat man picked up the mobile phone to report, Zhang Wen stopped: "Are you sick?" Where are we now? ”

"Macau, what's wrong?" The fat man asked puzzled.

"Macau is full of casting points, can you still report it?" Zhang Wen glanced at him.

"Huh! I forgot, I haven't directly betted with cash! The fat man said suddenly.

"Don't talk about you, I don't either, today we are like the local residents, taking cash to vote, it also has a different meaning!" Zhang Wen also wanted to go to the casting point to experience it for himself.

"Let's go!"

The two walked leisurely along the road, this time it was too late, the hotel was far away from the casino, it took five minutes to walk, the two walked into the second floor of the Lisboa, here is a row of windows to buy lottery.

Zhang Wen is still the first time to come here, there are really a lot of people, these are the real technical gamblers, most of them are over thirty years old, and there are many old gamblers who seem to be fifty or sixty years old, the atmosphere is very good, the words used in the conversation are more professional, and the analysis of the odds is also their own opinions, from the size of the window to buy bets, these local old gamblers have a very good mentality, and they buy very small, only a few hundred yuan. But they also know a lot about even these small leagues, including the referees of the game, the rankings of each team, the local climate, and the state of the main team.

Zhang Wen and the fat man have gone to Macau many times, and they can still understand most of the Cantonese here, and the fat man can basically understand them, which reminds Zhang Wen of the door of some securities companies in SH, which was also the case many years ago, gathering a group of stockholders, spreading all kinds of news and circulating various rumors. Some senior shareholders eventually entered the financial programs on TV.

Looking at the very harmonious scene here, Zhang Wen even thought that it would be good to immigrate to Macau in the future, and it would be quite comfortable to come here to chat with others about the game and analyze the odds.

"Brother Wen? It's almost time, do you want to buy it? The fat man waited next to him for a long time, seeing that Zhang Wen was thinking about something, he couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh! Hehe, distracted. Buy it. On the plate let flat/half high water. 1.0 water level. Zhang Wen looked at the odds level again, and finally made a decision.

The fat man queued up to place an order, but there was a little accident, and an old gambler in his fifties and sixties kindly reminded the fat man: "Fat boy! Raising the plate and raising the water on the spot is a taboo for playing ball! ”

"Huh? So what do you mean? The fat man was a little overwhelmed, asked rhetorically, and then looked at Zhang Wen.

"I see you're holding so much money, are you going to bet heavily? You're from the mainland, aren't you? The old gambler could tell at a glance that the two were from the mainland.

"yes!" The fat man said.

"I'll build yì you don't vote this time, the variables are too big!" The old gambler looked at the information in his hand and persuaded the fat man.

"Fatty, buy it!" Zhang Wen was unmoved and insisted on his own judgment.

"Alas! Small gambling pleasure, you mainlanders are really ......," the old gambler shook his head and said. Then he walked over to a few other gamblers and was still talking......

But the next discussion was not so harmonious, and Zhang Wen's ears flew from time to time: people are stupid and have a lot of money, nouveau riche in the mainland, etc., all of them have a look of disdain, which makes Zhang Wen very unhappy.

"Fatty! I changed my mind and stopped buying Asian handicaps, and the home team won by buying standard handicaps for 50,000. Zhang Wen's voice was not small, and everyone present heard it.

"Wow! Let's take a look at what professionalism is! The fat man also exclaimed.

There was a discussion around the two, Zhang Wen also had a stubborn temper, refused to go, found a stool and sat down, took out his notebook, and watched the live score live at the lottery window, and the fat man also stood on the side like a fierce god, cheering for Zhang Wen, hey! Not to mention that the green dragon tattoo on the fat man's back looks clear through the white crewneck shirt of this guy, and it is really a bit of a deterrent.

This game was really powerful, it was already 2:0 in the first half, and in the second half, it made persistent efforts and scored 1 goal, and the final score was fixed at 3:0

The fat man shouted and waited for the settlement at the lottery window of the pitching station, and a group of technical gamblers around him looked at each other, no sound, after a while, the fat man took a thick pile of Hong Kong dollars, and even the profit with a total of 120,000, fortunately it was Hong Kong dollars, the maximum face value was 1,000, if it was RMB, it had to be packed with a horse clip bag.

"Haha! Ha ha! Brother Wen, take the money, let's go! The fat man couldn't help but feel proud.

"Hey, hey! People are stupid and have a lot of money, but there is a lot of money here! Where are people stupid? Zhang Wen asked the fat man with a smile.

"I don't know, who's stupid who knows!" The fat man replied even more absolutely.

The fat man deposited the money into his account in Macau, and this guy is now considered a successful person, and there are accounts everywhere: "Tomorrow, I will send 60,000 yuan to your account." ”

After the two of them finished handling the Hong Kong dollars in their hands, they slowly walked back to the hotel, and only walked not far from the Lisboa Palace, they saw that the intersection in front of them was sealed, and a long cordon came, and from time to time there were two Hong Kong dollars floating over, one of which floated to the feet of the fat man.

The fat man lowered his head and wanted to pick it up, but was stopped by Zhang Wen: "Don't pick it up, there's an accident ahead!" ”

Sure enough, a heavily armed policeman came over immediately, and unceremoniously let the two of them avoid it, and walked to the crowd farther away, only to know that someone jumped off the building just now, and the money was scattered before jumping off the building, as if a boss in Zhejiang lost tens of millions and jumped from the 20th floor.

Listening to the surrounding discussions, I realized that this kind of thing happens every month, everyone is used to it, and most of them are these bosses in the mainland, which is also constantly strengthening education and warning to local residents, so there are very few local residents who go to the casino to gamble money, and generally some teenagers come to play a few when they will have money.

This is also an objective fact, most of these gamblers in the mainland like to gamble a lot, not for entertainment at all, but for life, it is really strange, they have a successful career, a happy family, and there is no shortage of money. But when I arrived in Macau, it was like having some deep hatred, and I completely changed my personality and completely lost my mind. But in the end, they still can't fight the casino, and they all end up losing.

Therefore, it can also be seen from the composition of casino profits that seventy percent of the profits of foreign casinos come from casual games such as slot machines, while ninety percent of the profits of Macau casinos come from Bacardi games, and more than eighty percent of them come from VIP rooms. These numbers show that people abroad are playing for leisure and entertainment, and domestic players are fighting for their lives.

Zhang Wen and the fat man looked at each other, both were a little silent, both of them had similar experiences, fortunately both of them turned back in time. After watching it for a while, the two of them knew a rough idea, and they were not interested in watching it any further, so they made a detour back to the hotel together.

It's just that the two of them didn't see that there was still someone in the crowd who was also watching this jumping incident, it was Lao Bai, but it was different from Zhang Wen's mood, Zhang Wen was glad that he was not deeply involved, and Lao Bai felt a panic from the heart, as if he saw his future ending.

Since Lao Bai was bombarded by the town's women's army and a supernumerary fat man, he has come to Macao alone three times one after another, without a win. The money in hand is only 120,000 yuan, and the final payment of 50,000 yuan for the decoration will be paid next week, so the money in hand is only 70,000 yuan, which has dropped to below double digits.

In fact, Lao Bai understands in his heart that it is a low tide period and should be stopped for a while, but there is no way to stop, the bank loan, his son's living expenses, and his own expenses are all counting on winning back from the casino. But the current mentality is really unable to win money, I refuse to leave when I lose money, I dare not chase after winning money, and I always lose in the end.

Lao Bai thought about it, if he wanted to change the current predicament, he still had to find Wu Mei, the problem was that the matter between himself and Widow Xing had been spread all over the place, and Wu Mei must have known it, Lao Bai was very depressed, and he fooled around with Widow Xing for a few months, Widow Xing made tens of thousands of yuan, but he didn't even know his family when he lost, and he opened a card room together, and there was no income from investment alone, and the income was taken away by Widow Xing. Now, the last hope can only go to Wu Mei......

……

"Brother Wen! Will you go back tomorrow? The fat man returned to the hotel and asked Zhang Wen.

"Of course, why stay here? Have you asked you about the rent of the façade? Zhang Wen remembered what was going on.

"I asked, the rent of Lao Bai's card room is 50,000 yuan a year. 40 sq. m. "The fat man is quite neat.

"It's not too expensive!" Zhang Wen listened and said.

"You should be in the urban area, how much money can you make in a card room a year, and since Lao Bai and Widow Xing came back, no one wants that storefront, if you want to rent it, maybe it can be cheaper." The fat man inquired in detail.

"Oh, that's good, I'll talk to the boss when I get back." Zhang Wen was very happy to hear it.

"What are you renting it for? Also open its card room? That thing doesn't make any money. The fat man asked.

"How can I open its card room!" Zhang Wen said disdainfully.

"Then you also open an online store? That really became a three-kingdom rivalry. The fat man exclaimed.

"Almost, half right. Hehe! I'm going to have my own territory soon. Zhang Wen said with some excitement.

"Do you want me to help you?" The fat man asked enthusiastically.

"No, you can honestly be your fierce Zhang Fei under the hands of the big-eared thief."

"It's not Zhang Fei. I'm going to do it—Superintendent! ”

"Oh! You ...... ruthlessly" R1058
