Chapter 52: A Little Gamble
The two of them went straight to Victoria Harbour after dinner at night, looking at the lighthouse in the distance, the whistle of entering and leaving the port, and the evening breeze blowing away the heat of the day and the irritability in the bottom of their hearts.
Or many people like to look at the sea, indeed, in front of it, no matter how unhappy things will be, no matter how much pressure can be reduced, although a little bit of Ah Q's spiritual victory method, but it is also a very good way to adjust the mentality.
Wang Chao grew up in the mainland since he was a child, and he has never seen the sea so calmly, and he can't help but be stunned.
"Tick ring", the mobile phone began to ring, and then he pulled back from his contemplation, and then opened it to see that it was Zhang Xinyu's phone, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart
"Xinyu, I haven't slept yet"
"No, are you okay in Hong Kong? When will you be back? The Spring Festival is coming soon, have you taken care of your company's affairs?"
"It's quite a good place here, and today's auction is an eye-opener. I guess I'll have to wait a few more days to go back, the auction here has just ended, and there is a private Tibetan friend exchange meeting behind, I'm going to participate again, hehe, Uncle Suo is following, you're still afraid that I'll lose it."
"Cut, I'm afraid that you will lose it, I am afraid that you will do something that you shouldn't do"
The two of them laughed, and then told Zhang Xinyu about today's auction, and focused on the matter of his own leakage, hoping to go back and ask Zhang Lao to appraise it, Zhang Xinyu said that there was no problem, and then the two of them kissed and talked about the lover for a while, and Zuihou hung up the phone.
Who knew that as soon as he hung it up and thought about it, Wang Chao thought that Zhang Xinyu had something to forget to say, and he didn't look at the electricity, so he picked it up and said
"Xinyu, what's the matter?"
"Wang Chao, I'm Shen Jingyi"
"Ah, Brother Shen, I'm sorry. I just talked to Xinyu on the phone, and I thought she had forgotten something."
"Hehe, you young people have endless words when you don't see each other for a day, I hope it doesn't bother you"
Wang Chao repeatedly said no, and then the hired Mr. Shen reported several things to Wang Chao, one was to help Wang Chao receive several waves of visitors to exchange antiques, and he was very interested in Wang Chao's collection, saying that if possible, he could jointly hold a private exhibition; The second is that he found a good thing when he was in Pan Garden, which is a calligraphy and painting. In modern times, the other party doesn't seem to know the goods, so he wants to take it, and the price is about 100,000; The third is to ask if you can also open your own website to further promote your family's collection, and also use the Internet to open the door and make acquisitions, of course, the premise is genuine; Fourth, they want to use the so-called Dingbao column engaged in by TV stations to acquire and screen; Fifth, I asked Wang Chao if he could hire another accountant, so that some accounts and the like could be handled by the accountant.
In all fairness. These things are not a big deal, but after all, the two have just cooperated, and they need to have a process of understanding and running-in, which involves the issue of money. He's still more cautious.
Wang Chao also understood the other party's thoughts in his heart, not only nodded secretly, but thought that this person was old and serious, and he was a person who could be assured. Moreover, these suggestions not only show their own ability, but also ask for directions for their own stones, and there needs to be a process of improving understanding at the beginning of cooperation.
So Wang Chao let him do it with full authority. The matter of recruiting accountants is carried out first, and if I don't think about it carefully, I should have thought about it a long time ago, and when I go back, I will immediately set up the company's account and put the daily working capital into it.
Shen Jingyi was very happy after listening, feeling that this young man really values himself, and he has a good relationship with his master's granddaughter, and he just called and mentioned this, and it is estimated that there is a great possibility of becoming a family in the future, so he must do his best to do it and treat the company as his own career.
I was happy, and my language was more relaxed, and I didn't have the previous inhibitions. The two talked about the future development of the company, and they were full of confidence in the company's development.
Wang Chao put down the phone and saw that an hour had passed, and Suo Wencheng, who was beside him, had returned to the car, and the two of them drove back to the hotel at random.
Resting early in the evening, Wang Chao still entered the Sky Watching Tower to visualize and cultivate.
At around 8 o'clock in the morning the next day, when we were having breakfast together, Suo Wencheng suddenly asked Wang Chao with a smile,
"Have you ever been to Macau?"
"Uncle Suo, it's my first time in Hong Kong, and I've never been to Macau."
"That's right, I'm not busy during this time before the Spring Festival, don't be in a hurry to go back, take you there to open your eyes, I know you're lucky, go there to the casino to play two, maybe there will be a lot of gains"
Wang Chao's heart moved: Yes, his ability can peep at things, and he should be able to easily see the opponent's hole cards when playing cards, which can be regarded as a weapon for cheating.
Thinking of this, not only do I have some expectations in my heart,
"Uncle, I'm not busy before the Spring Festival, you can go there and walk around, if you're not busy. But aren't you going to participate in the Tibetan Friends Exchange Meeting, when will it start?"
"It's going to take two more days, and a few European friends haven't come yet, so it's too late for us to get a call from Macau."
The two discussed, did not check out after eating, then they had to come back, bought a ferry ticket directly from Hong Kong to Macau, because there is still time left for the pass, and there is no need to apply for another permit to Hong Kong and Macau, which saves a lot of trouble.
It was already about 12 noon when I arrived in Macau, and I saw that the people here were full of people, and the hotels were full of people, and the tourists were weaving, even more prosperous than Hong Kong. The two of them did not rush to the casino, but first booked two rooms in the largest hotel - Lisboa Hotel, rested a little, and had lunch here, and then rested for more than 2 hours, at more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Suo Wencheng took Wang Chao to take a taxi around Macau, so that Wang Chao had a perceptual understanding of here.
Macau is known as the casino, the current scale has surpassed the United States Las Vegas, become the largest casino in Shijie, here more than 10 casinos, the more famous for the Grand Lisboa, the Venetian, Sands, MGM, etc., the largest of which is the Macau gambling king Ho Sheng's Lisboa and Grand Lisboa, its annual profit exceeds the income of a county and city in the mainland, and Macau's main tax is also gambling tax revenue, which shows the benefits of one family and two systems.
But Macau is indeed small enough, turn this circle, counting the traffic jam, red light is less than 2 hours, around 5 o'clock in the afternoon the two went back to the hotel for dinner, until six o'clock this time came to the goal of the star entertainment, it seems that this is the place where the boss often comes, neither the largest. It is not the smallest, it is a middle-to-upper-sized casino, which meets his low-key standards.
From the outside, the exterior decoration here is not much different from an office building, but when you walk in, you find that there is something else, the interior decoration of the building is about 12 floors, the first floor is the service hall, the beautiful woman wearing a classical cheongsam shuttles back and forth, and when she sees the two of them walk in, she immediately bends down and bows. In the local Cantonese and English, Suo Wencheng was noncommittal, but Wang Chao was a little disgusted, thinking:
This is our place in China, what do you say about birds, and I didn't give them any good faces, but then I was relieved to think about it, what does this have to do with myself, after all, there are many locals who come out and go in. Moreover, they have been ruled by the Portuguese for hundreds of years, and the official language is still English, but Chinese is also one of the official languages, but it is rarely spoken. Even if he did, the accent sounded awkward.
Suo Wencheng seemed to be very familiar with this place, and after he came, he ignored the warm recommendation of these front desk service ladies, but took him directly to the elevator to the 7th floor.
As soon as the elevator doors opened. I felt a wave of sound coming to my face, and the hall that was originally more than 2,000 square meters was divided into various areas of different sizes, and there was a table of people there. There are blackjack, baccarat, roulette, guess the size, slots, etc.
To say that Macao is indeed very special, special is the special gambling here, openly called the gambling business as a legal act, unlike the mainland, either have to be carried out secretly, or the so-called "elderly activity center" and other names to cover people's eyes, still holding the pipa half covering the face, play is not happy.
Look at people here, they are playing gambling in public, they don't have to worry about the police coming to check, and they are open 24 hours a day, if they are not open, they still need to apply to the government, so it can be seen that here, if you don't play, you have to play.
Walking in, Suo Wencheng asked, "What do you like to play, you can play casually, I'll change the chips", and said as he picked up the suitcase he brought with him and went straight to the service desk to exchange chips. Wang Chao hurriedly said
"Uncle Suo, I'll just change it myself," he said, and took out a few wades of cash from his body, estimating that there were about 100,000 yuan.
Suo Wencheng knew that he was rich, so naturally he was not polite to him. The two exchanged chips respectively, Wang Chao exchanged 100,000 yuan, Suo Wencheng exchanged 2 million, Boss Suo turned out to be prepared, and he was generous, and he didn't take the 2 million seriously.
After the exchange of the two separated, Wang Chao did not rush to gamble, but walked around the field and found that there are all kinds of gambling games, among which there are the most guess big and small people, there is no limit to the number of people here, anyone can play, Wang Chao stood here first and looked at it.
"Big, big, big", in front of a huge semi-circular table, more than a dozen people are betting on the size. There are many who bet on the big and few who bet on the small. After all, it's been opened a few times.
"One, two, three, small." The dice was opened, but it disappointed most people, and it was small.
Wang Chao also played this during the New Year in his hometown, but it is generally based on smashing golden flowers, there are few games for this, and there is not much jishu at all, the kind of movie that can guess the size by hearing is purely blind, it is three sieves, a total of eighteen sides, that how much haode ear power can hear the impact sound of each side clearly, that kind of subtle difference is difficult to guess even if the computer is listening, let alone human flesh ears.
But it doesn't matter, Wang Chao has an ability to see through, so after leaning on it a few times, he took out five thousand chips and threw them on the big one.
He had observed that five thousand chips were not too big or too small at this table, so in order not to attract attention, he took out a chip of five thousand.
The last one was a big one, and this time there are not many big bets, after all, no one can guarantee that the handle is big, but there are still many people who are big.
Sure enough, this one opened a big, one-to-two odds, Wang Chao got 10,000 yuan, and then he bet again.
The second bet was a little bigger, but it was still big, and this time it was 20,000.
Perspective to see that the third is small, so all the chips in the hand, a total of 120,000 all bet small, this time the bet is smaller than just now, many people bet big, Wang Chao's 120,000 is relatively large here, next to a fat man said to Wang Chao:
"Brother, you bet big, I see you bet two big in a row, continue to bet big, often out in a row"
Wang Chao shook his head with a smile, saying that he felt that he should be small, and at this time, in addition to Wang Chao, there was only another old man in his 60s on the table.
"Two, two, three, seven, small" The dealer opened it, and sure enough, it was small, and now the fat man next to him looked at Wang Chao with some surprise, and didn't say anything anymore.
With odds of one to two, 120,000 has become 240,000.
The fourth bet begins.
Wang Chao thought about it, did not use the ability, but chose a small one casually, and bet 20,000 chips, this time there were a few more people who bet on the small, but the overall odds were still much larger.
"Four-six-six, sixteen o'clock, big" The dealer shouted expressionlessly, and the people around him booed, and Wang Chao also lost.
Seeing that although Wang Chao won three times in a row, but lost the fourth hand, no one doubted him anything, and most people thought that he was lucky before.
The fifth Wang Chao secretly glanced at the dice, and then all the 220,000 were all bet small, this time there were almost no small bets, so I heard the dealer shout: "Two, three, two, seven o'clock small."
This Wang Chao directly doubled, and 220,000 immediately became 440,000, although he was still not the most chips on the table, but most people looked at him with surprise and envy, and heard the fat man next to him mutter:
"I also wanted to bet on a small one at first, but unfortunately I made a big bet like a ghost, alas, unlucky"
Wang Chao accepted it when he saw it, and did not continue to gamble, although he knew that as long as he used his ability, he would still win, but the kind of continuous winning would attract the attention of the dealer, but this did not conform to his usual low-key approach, so he picked up the chips in front of him and squeezed out of the crowd.
Then I turned two tables, and found that the gambling game on this table was relatively large, and the smallest single chip was 100,000, and there were not many people at the table, only four, and there were no other tables so yelling, maybe the gambling game was bigger, and everyone's mentality became more calm.
Wang Chao squeezed in, looked at it with bated breath, and then took out 100,000 yuan and bet big, and heard the dealer shout "Four, five, six, fifteen, big", and his chips became 200,000.
Although he won, the people around him didn't even look at him, and then started betting again, Wang Chao's second bet was still big, and this time he bet all the chips of 540,000 yuan.
"Three-five-five, thirteen-point, big"
"Damn, thirteen o'clock, bad luck", the little one next to him cursed.
In the third, Wang Chao still bet all the chips big.
"I'm still betting on the small, I don't believe it, it can still be big", the man just said while betting on the small
"Three, four, six, thirteen, big," the dealer continued to shout expressionlessly.
"Bad luck, don't play" The loser immediately stood up.
Keep doubling. (To be continued......)
