After dealing with it, Zhang Cheng drove Stephanie in a sports car to Las Vegas at noon on this Saturday. Stephanie went to see her sister Catherine - Catherine after buying a house, car, and boat obviously increased her financial pressure, and this Texas female gambling god has the meaning of staying in Las Vegas casinos after the summer, fortunately, this Texas female gambling god does not play roulette, 21 o'clock and other games that can be tyrannical, otherwise she would have been blacklisted in the casino.

Zhang Cheng also developed a habit of going to Las Vegas during the summer vacation, taking a few hours a week to play a game with the governor there.

The game is played by the governor, and every Saturday afternoon the invites are familiar faces, or state legislators, or doctors, or prosecutors, or barristers, or some powerful figure in the federal police. There are also well-known local entrepreneurs like Zhang Cheng - of course, there is only one kung fu master Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng can be invited to participate in the card game more because of the identity of a Chinese kung fu master.

The chips in the game are not large, and Zhang Cheng has never seen chips above a hundred dollars here, but this environment is obviously not available for many high-value chips - Zhang Cheng knows almost some of the most elite figures in Nevada politics here, and it never hurts to get acquainted with each other.

Everyone didn't come here to fight to win or lose, to play cards, to chat, and the two-hour game passed quickly. For those who really want to play, there is a casino hall outside the box, so you can't play it.

When the governor's game was over, Zhang Cheng looked at the time, and before he had made an appointment with Catherine Stephanie, he took his chips and played 21 in the lobby - a pure casino in Las Vegas is actually rare. It is often the integration of leisure, shopping, tourism, and gambling. However, the lobby of the casino is always dominated by Asian faces.

Zhang Cheng's addition gives more than half of the Asian faces in the game +1 effect, which is simply ineffective. The table is limited to $2,000 to prevent anyone from making money using the simplest mathematical probability method -- that is, the first time you press $10, if the first hand loses the second time you press 30, and if the second hand also loses the third 100, four times 300, five times 1,000, six times 3,000...... If you flip up this infinitely, the banker must lose in the 21-point player's win rate of nearly 50%.

After Zhang Cheng sat down, he waited for the next round to start pressing fifty dollars in chips, and motioned for the dealer to deal the cards. In the first game, Zhang Cheng scored fourteen points, which is a small number. Zhang Cheng didn't continue to ask for it. But the dealer's two-card hand is fifteen points. According to the rules, there must be one, and a dealer burst out at ten o'clock, and the players shouted for a while.

"Good luck." Zhang Cheng took the $50 chip and pressed it up with the original $50.

The game lasted for more than an hour, with wins and losses. But Zhang Cheng's chips are slowly increasing. It's the same as Zhang Cheng said. Good luck. Until Sister Catherine Stephanie found Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng already had thousands of dollars more chips on the table at this time, which Zhang Cheng had never placed more than $500 bet.

As soon as October began, the Catherine sisters couldn't wait to change into a winter suit with a mink coat and buckskin boots. If they hadn't been in an air-conditioned room and air-conditioned car, they wouldn't have covered their prickly heat, but well, the dazzling light is real.

Seeing the sisters coming, Zhang Cheng rewarded the dealer to put away the chips and left, Catherine looked at Zhang Cheng's appearance of a lot of chips and asked, "Won?" ”

Zhang Cheng didn't count it: "When you have time to play, you won a little, maybe more than two thousand or three thousand, I didn't count." ”

The three of them walked side by side and went upstairs to find a restaurant, and Catherine said on the way: "I have been here for so many days, and in general, people with strong momentum win easily. But this momentum is consumed in the casino, especially after a long period of gambling. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded: "China also has a saying that you must lose in a long bet, if you want not to lose, unless you win the first one, you will run." However, once you run, you lose your momentum, unless you don't play again. ”

When you reach the restaurant level, it is decorated like a coalition of nations, with flags of various countries, so that people can recognize which national dishes are sold inside. Catherine asked for advice and asked, "Which national dish to eat?" ”

Zhang Cheng took a look, British and French dishes are sold very expensive, and they are very unpalatable, of course, people will say, we sell service, and authentic British and French food tastes like this. Indian food is all curry-flavored, and it can't be graded. Mexican food, cacti and so on are still for ornamentation. Korean food, except for barbecue, is a table full of cold dishes and cold noodles, not cold.

Although Chinese restaurants in North America claim to open more than gas stations, American chefs are not trained by New Oriental at all, and Zhang Cheng found that Americans always have a sense of bargain when talking about Chinese food (Chinese restaurants here are indeed fighting a price war) - with this idea, sooner or later let them eat when they travel to China.

The three of them exchanged glances, and then chose a Japanese restaurant, speaking of which, Japanese people are still very good at doing business.

Sitting down in the Japanese-style private room, just after a few words, the door of the compartment suddenly opened--the guest on the opposite side, Zhang Cheng, really knew him, and he was his biology mentor.

The old man was a little bored drinking sake and eating sushi by himself here, and suddenly he heard the voice of an acquaintance, so he opened the sliding door of the compartment - this Japanese design can sometimes connect dozens of rooms of guests, and some large companies like this tone when they are doing social gatherings.

Since they are acquaintances, let's eat together. Zhang Cheng ate a few plates of sushi before he remembered to ask: "Why did the tutor remember to play in Las Vegas." ”

Mentor: "I used to come more diligently, but now that I'm older, our pharmaceutical company's quarterly dividends are good. Along with the proceeds from the sale of my shares, I used it to buy a farm in Idaho, and the rest was ready to be spent here. It's useless to take too much of the dollar, it will depreciate. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Oh. The mentor is also ready to enjoy the rural life after retirement. ”

Mentor: "No, unless I have Alzheimer's disease and can't do academic research, I'm going to do biology for the rest of my life." That farm had five thousand acres and seven hired laborers, forming a small farm company that was my legacy for future generations. ”

The instructor obviously drank two more glasses. said: "You know, it's just the price of food rising all these years. Fifteen years, twenty years. Food prices are about to skyrocket, because the world will be war-torn by food scarcity. Locations, if nothing else, probably in Africa and India. I have to say that you Chinese are very smart, and a long time ago you implemented family planning to control population growth and improve population quality, and finally enjoyed the demographic dividend. However, the African and Indian side. There is no solution. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Why? ”

The mentor pulled a few chips out of his pocket. He first placed two fifty-dollar chips on the table and said, "Let's talk about Africa, this is the power of France and Britain in Africa." After World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union redrew the world pattern, although most of Africa's colonial countries were ostensibly independent. But Britain and France never let go of Africa. As far as the French are concerned. It has successively cleaned up more than a dozen disobedient African countries by force.

Although the fighting power of the French is a scum. But they have a foreign legion, and they don't feel sorry for the death of foreigners anyway. At present, most of the high welfare of French society is based on the wool harvesting of African countries. The British like to absorb the political and ideological output of African elites, behind the turmoil in Africa over the years. Most of it was made by these two goods. ”

As he spoke, the mentor picked out another two hundred yuan chip, put it on the table, and said, "This is the United States." We are American. It can be said that all countries with interests in Africa cannot compete with the United States, including China, even if they join forces. Because our powerful Atlantic Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet are sandwiched in Africa from east to west, who dares to make trouble and kill in a few minutes.

It was when I was still in school, and around the beginning of this plan, the first step was to give universal values to Africans, to import a large number of modern medicines and vaccines to Africa. Let Africa's population grow so much that Africa's agricultural land is unsustainable.

In the second step, we can exchange grain for oil and minerals in Africa, because Africa has nothing to sell except raw materials. What we can see is that over the years, American farmers no longer have to destroy too much produce to maintain prices.

Third, the world's food is always limited. In the end, Africa will still fight because of the overpopulation, the imbalance of resources, and the lack of food for most people. That's when we can sell weapons to Africa. Our medicines, food, weapons form a cycle, and they all find buyers.

In this cycle, the cost and technology of investing in pharmaceutical factories or weapons is too high for me to have. But investing in a farm is simple, as long as you have money. The slow growth of land and grain prices in the past ten years is a symptom, and people with vision have begun to make arrangements. If you have money, you might as well buy a few farms, you won't lose money. ”

Sister Zhang Cheng and Sister Catherine Stephanie glanced at each other, and they were both going to follow the trend to buy a farm after they went back, and Yezi's farm was still a little smaller. I don't want to make a lot of money, and it's good to drink some soup later. Just like the mentor said, if you take too much dollars, they will also depreciate, and you always have to find a way out.

Zhang Cheng secretly glanced at the text message after swiping the card during the banquet, and the account balance was still more than 80 million, how many farms do you have to buy.

Zhang Cheng said to his tutor: "I didn't expect there to be such a university question here." ”

Mentor: "Of course, the Chinese are also amazing. Originally, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the interests of the Russians in Africa were all kicked out by Britain, France and the United States. But the Chinese bite off a piece of meat from the jackal's mouth - ruthless enough. In order to sell goods, the Chinese use national power to cultivate the African market.

The essence of capital is to seek profit and avoid disadvantage, and capital can sell the country for the sake of profit -- so the circulating capital of the United States has gone to Europe and China. You know, when I was young, Europe and the United States had not yet been deindustrialized, and the waters of the Great Lakes were stinking and the skies of the cities along the coast were gray. The reason why we are bringing in Asian carp, which no one eats now, is to clean up the residue of industrial pollution in the river water.

Whether the deindustrialization of capital flows is right or wrong is not clear now, but the environment has indeed improved. We now have bright skies and clean streams, so what else can we not be satisfied with? (To be continued......)

PS: I reimbursed my father for the hospitalization fee, but this medicine was not reported, and that was not reported - if you are not angry enough, you can't do without it, this is human life. In the end, the hospitalization expenses of 98,000 were reimbursed for 38,000......

I just want to say that it can't be said that urban cooperative medical care is useless, otherwise there will be no 38,000 people.
