It was only noon when he arrived at Omen, and Ye Jianshe had been waiting for a while with a group of bodyguards selected from the veteran special forces. According to common sense, if the Ye family doesn't do anything to Qiu Rong, he should burn high incense, even if he borrows his courage, he doesn't dare to do anything to the Ye family. But be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, the return of the Ao Men has not been long, and the influence of the Ye family is not strong, with these bodyguards by his side, even if Qiu Ronggou jumps off the wall in a hurry, it is good to have a defense.
There was still some time before the start of the gambling game at four o'clock in the afternoon, and under the guidance of Ye Jianjian, Yu Fei and Ye Jianjun tasted the local specialties.
Ye Jianjun had also been to Aomen twice before, but Yu Fei was the first time he arrived.
Ye Jianjun acted as a guide and introduced the local situation to Yu Fei.
Aomen is one of the four major gambling cities in the world, and it is also one of the small characters.
The other three casinos are Las Vegas in first place and Atlantic City in second place. Both cities belong to the United States. Monte Carlo, the third largest gambling city, is more of a gambling country than a gambling city, because Monte Carlo owns most of the country.
The reason why it is said that Omen is a small character among the four major gambling cities is because it is too small. Although the Aomen gambling industry has a history of more than 140 years, in terms of gambling tables, the size of all casinos in Macau is only equivalent to a medium-sized casino in a gambling city in the United States; When it comes to slot machines, the size is only the size of a small casino in an American casino.
The vast majority of Macau's casinos are concentrated on the Macau Peninsula. There are eight casinos: Lisboa, Sea Palace, Jinbi, Hyatt, Pull Back Stadium, Holiday Diamond, Landmark Plaza, Mandarin Oriental, as well as racecourse and greyhound racetrack. Among them, the Lisboa Hotel is the landmark building of the Macau Casino and the largest casino.
When it comes to Aomen Casino, I have to mention one person, that is He Hongsheng, at the beginning of the two thousand years, he was still the absolute gambling king of Aomen, and no one could shake his status.
After lunch, according to Ye Jianjun's meaning, he originally wanted Yu Fei to rest in the hotel to prepare for the gambling game in the afternoon.
But where can Yu Fei calm down. Although he was very disgusted with gambling, when he came to such a gambling world and was at an age of strong blood, Yu Fei was still deeply attracted.
"Brother Ye. Let's go to the casino first. Yu Fei said: "I'll tell you the truth, I don't know much about gambling, and I don't know a lot of ways to play, don't wait until the beginning of the afternoon to be ashamed." ”
As soon as he heard that Yu Fei didn't even know how to play, Ye Jianshe was stunned.
He didn't deal with Yu Fei much, but when Ye Jianjun introduced Yu Fei, he just briefly talked about the gamble in the Dongtian Club. Ye Jianshe also often goes to the Dongtian Club, although he didn't see the gambling game with his own eyes, but he has heard a lot. I always thought that Yu Fei was an amazing gambling master. Although he is a little young, there are many gambling masters who have become famous at a young age. This is not surprising at all.
So he is full of confidence in this gamble, but now when he hears Yu Fei's words, Ye Jianshe is stupid~!
Where is this master? Is this a rookie at all? Brother Jianjun asked him to gamble for himself, did he want to avenge himself, or did he want to lose more completely? Why don't you play on your own?
Seeing Ye Jianjian's worries, Ye Jianjun said with a smile: "Don't listen to his nonsense!" ”
But that being said. Ye Jianjun still took Yu Fei to the most famous Lisboa Casino. It's also home to afternoon games.
Lisboa Casino is located at the southwest end of Avenida da Friendship in South Bay, inaugurated on June 11, 1970, its main building and the left and right wings, the majestic color is all yellow as the base, white as the between, giving people a sense of grace and gorgeousness and no lack of easy jumping. The main building is shaped like a bird's cage, and the main building, together with its left wing, resembles a sailing ship, like a huge lotus flower in full bloom. Its bottom is like a large lotus canopy, golden, while the top is protruding into the sky.
As soon as he entered the door, Yu Fei was stunned by the lively "midfield". It was filled with all kinds of people, both men and women. There are old and young, which fully proves that for gambling, age and gender are not any problems.
Seeing such a scene, Ye Jianjian's eyes suddenly lit up again. This is the natural reaction of people who love to gamble, let alone Ye Jianjian. Even Ye Jianjun is no better.
Ye Jianshe said that although the gambling table in the midfield is the most active and lively, in fact, more than 80 percent of the casino's income comes from the VIP room.
Guests in the VIP Lounge can enjoy the best suites at the Hotel Lisboa, the best restaurants, limousine transfers, and even a huge amount of chips without taking cash.
"But how does the casino know about the VIPs?" Yu Fei asked strangely.
Ye Jianshe smiled slightly and said, "Do you think the casino is just a gambling platform?" After more than 100 years of development, casino informants have already formed an amazing network, sometimes some VIPs have just entered the casino, the guest's information has been faxed to the casino, so the casino can respond immediately, even if the guest does not bring so much cash, the casino will give you the chips first within the limit of the guest's 'home'."
"I'm afraid that's why you were able to lose 300 million, right?" Ye Jianjun said.
Ye Jianjian's face turned red, although he said that his 300 million was lost to Lao Qian, but the casino's "fueling the fire" was not unrelated.
"Obediently, there can be so many people in a casino, so He Hongsheng has eight casinos and still hasn't made a fortune?" Yu Fei said very unproductively.
"It's for sure to get rich, but not as much as you think. Don't look at the crowd here, but many of them are casino security guards, dressed in civilian clothes and pretending to be tourists. Mixed in to maintain order. And there are some of them who are accountable. After many people arrive at the casino, they lose all their gambling capital, and they are not reconciled, so they need to borrow money to turn over their capital. Ye Jianjun said: "Moreover, the VIP rooms of the eight casinos do not completely belong to He Hongsheng, to be precise. ”
"Huh?" Yu Fei said in surprise: "Jianshe just said that the income of the VIP room accounts for 80%, and the VIP room does not belong to He Hongsheng, so how can he, the gambling king, monopolize it?" ”
"You don't understand that." Ye Jianjun finally found the knowledge that Yu Fei didn't understand, but he did, of course, he had to show it well.
"The relationship between the VIP rooms of each casino and the casino owner is similar to the relationship between the contractor and the person who rents out the venue, but it is not the same. He Hongsheng attaches great importance to the gambling halls, and he has to call the hall owners one by one every night to inquire about the operation of the day. The owners of the major gambling halls are not idle people, and they have their own origins, such as the Jincheng gambling hall of the Xiang family (Xiang Huasheng), the new world gambling hall of Wu Wei, the Huangting gambling hall of Wu Qun, the Lisboa Treasure Island Hall operated by Ma Laoba, the son of Ma Qianqi, the godfather of the political arena of Aomen, and the Lisboa Beehive Gambling Hall operated by Feng Zhiqiang, a large real estate developer in Aomen, and so on.
Investing in a gambling hall can be said to be harsh. A small gambling hall needs to bet about 160 million yuan in bank bills, of course, the income is also huge, a luxury VIP room, means that the hall owner will have a stable income of tens of millions every year.
As soon as he stepped into the Aomen Casino, Yu Fei felt an inexplicable "nervousness", a security gate like an airport was blocking in front of him, and he had to pass through the security gate and accept a security check to enter the casino. When a man enters the bag storage area, the next screening procedure is exactly the same as when he enters the airport departure hall: he or she must remove all the metal objects on his body and hand them over to the security personnel for inspection along with his belongings. However, it is stricter than the airport security check, and it is not allowed to bring cameras and video equipment into the casino, and it is forbidden to take pictures in the casino, which is also stipulated by the law of Omen.
Some people may wonder: isn't it just an entertainment venue, why do you need to go through security? In fact, there are many people who question this. But the official answer is: the casino is full of cash and chips, and they are exposed to the public, once a gangster comes in with a murder weapon to rob, it is easy to succeed, not to mention, it will also endanger the life safety of gamblers, so it is necessary to prevent it from happening.
But don't think that if you enter a regular casino, you won't be cheated.
In the casino, all kinds of "bait" are blatantly soliciting business everywhere. Therefore, casino security is the first issue for casino owners to consider, and it is also the place where government supervision is strictest. The Ommen Judicial Police Department has a casino inspectorate in the establishment, which is responsible for the security of casinos, and police officers are dispatched to patrol the casinos 24 hours a day, and it is said that there are also plainclothes patrols. The casino's own security surveillance device is more rigorous and thorough, and it is the largest commercial surveillance system that this reporter has ever heard of and seen. It is said that there are more than 600 television surveillance cameras installed throughout the Lisboa Casino alone, which take pictures of every corner of the casino (except the restrooms) from various angles around the clock, every minute of the day.
