After a few more minutes of walking, I came to a golden dome hall. Scantily clad young girls flirt with a group of men lying in soft chairs, making seductive and piercing gasps from time to time. Cheng Liping looked at the male guests here, most of them did not have headscarves or small white hats, and some even had shaved their beards.

Pakistan is bordered by Iran to the west, Afghanistan to the northwest, India to the east, and China to the northeast. As the former capital and largest city in Pakistan, Karachi certainly has a lot of foreigners begging for food. There is no doubt that these people all gather in Barocana, after all, it is a paradise for adventurers, and as long as you have enough guts and money, you can enjoy it to the fullest.

No, Li Ping didn't want to relax here, but followed the gang members to continue walking inside. Out of the dome-like hall, a gangster pushed Cheng Liping into the small room next door. Several gamblers were already sitting at the round table, and when they saw Cheng Liping coming in, they only nodded slightly, and urged in English: "If you don't come, if you come, hurry up." ”

Cheng Liping looked at the table, there was a large pile of cash, and he didn't use chips. A few gamblers are not good-looking, and they don't look like gang members. Cheng Liping took a breath, found an empty seat to sit down, and asked, "What are you playing?" ”

The dealer at the table said: "There are only three cards played, an ante bet of Rs 100, a single bet limit of Rs 20,000, a margin of Rs 80 per session, and cash settlement. ”

Three cards? Cheng Liping smiled happily. This kind of gameplay is very popular in China, commonly known as fraudulent Jinhua, although Cheng Liping has not played many times, but he knows the doorway inside. He just didn't expect that in addition to mahjong, there is such an entertainment culture in China that has spread abroad.

The few guests on the counter were uncharacteristic, typical locals. The two people sitting opposite Cheng Liping occasionally made eye contact, which should be the trust in the casino, specially for gamblers. Cheng Liping put the ante bet, and waited for the dealer to deal the cards, and the dealer briefly explained the rules again, and then took turns to deal the three cards.

The others didn't even look at their hole cards and just called. Cheng Liping was too lazy to do such a boring thing, and twisted three cards with his fingers. According to the books, this game is not a high-level game, and the amount is not large, so Cheng Liping feels that the other party will not use any technological means. But the moment he opened the cards, there was a subtle change in the eyes of the two people sitting on the other side.

Cheng Liping's hand is two kings and one jack. It's not big, it's not small, it's worth following.

“200。” Cheng Liping put two 100 rupee bills into the chip pool.

The next gambler ignored it and directly increased the price, and the hidden card bet was 500. In other words, if you call by looking at the cards, the starting price is 1000 rupees.

The two people sitting opposite each other looked at their hole cards at the same time and decisively chose to give up. The gambler on the other side hesitated for two seconds, also threw out a 500 secret bet, and then looked at the gambler under Cheng Liping defiantly.

Of the two dark cards, Cheng Liping had nothing to fear, and followed 1000 rupees into the chip pool.

The next gambler increased the price again, and the secret bet was 2000.

The gambler on the other side seemed to have a grudge against him, and still followed 2000 without changing his face. Cheng Liping felt that something was wrong, and if he continued like this, his chips would go too fast, and what the details of these two people were, he didn't have a score in his heart. According to the rules of the scene, as long as two people have not seen the cards, Cheng Liping can not open the cards, although the book chips are 4000 against 4000, but Cheng Liping does not have much capital, so such a nonsensical play, he decided to give up in advance.

The two were still competing for the secret bet, and soon, the bottom of their respective secret bets came to 10,000 rupees. After 20 laps, the cash piled up on the table was close to 400,000. Two people open cards at the same time, and Cheng Liping's first gambler is 2,6,9. The gamblers on the other side are 2, 6, 8. The next gambler wins by a narrow margin.

Cheng Liping smiled bitterly, the biggest card of the family is not as big as his smallest card, and he actually laughed to the end. The gambler on the opposite side seemed to know that Cheng Liping's cards were large, and it was a pity to lose this game, so he immediately reminded with a smile: "If the cash is not enough, you can borrow money in the casino first." ”

Cheng Liping's heart moved, and said: "How much can I borrow, and how to calculate the interest?" ”

The dealer said expressionlessly: "As long as you can pay it back, you can borrow as much as you want." ”

Cheng Liping saw that he avoided answering the question of interest, and asked again: "How to calculate interest?" ”

The dealer was silent for a moment and said, "100 rupees will be charged 5 rupees, and the settlement will be calculated weekly." ”

Cheng Liping understood, where is this called interest, it is clearly called cannibalism. But that's good, and that's what he's doing, so he just pretends to be surprised and shakes his head, and continues to signal the dealer to deal the cards.

This time he has a bigger hand, a straight and the biggest straight: Q, K, ACE. Those two rivals are still there to raise the stakes in the dark bets. A gambler sitting opposite Cheng Liping also chose to call this time, and it seems that his hole cards are not small. Cheng Liping followed two rounds and paid 16,000 rupees in chips, and the two gamblers who placed the secret bet finally realized that the cards on both sides were not small, and began to choose to look at the cards. What Cheng Liping didn't expect was that after seeing the cards, the two gamblers who had hidden bets actually chose to double call.

In the blink of an eye, the cash on the table came to 400,000 again. Cheng Liping looked at his principal, only half was left, shook his head in annoyance, and could only discard the card again.

None of the three cards were willing to give up, and the chips came to 20,000 per person at a time, and after 20 laps, the chips on the table piled up like a hill, a full 1 million rupees. This amount is converted into US dollars, which is already close to 150,000. Cheng Liping suddenly understood how Zhou Shiqiang lost like this, it turned out that although the ante bet was very low, you couldn't stand such a price increase.

Cheng Liping's first card is 2, 9, K, red heart and golden flower. The people on the other side are 3, J, and A, who are also red hearts. The person sitting opposite Cheng Liping smiled slightly and spread out his hole cards. The three 8s were like *, which instantly ignited the emotions of the audience. The dealer swept the table full of cash in front of the winner, and said to the loser: "The winner has a leopard, and each company pays an additional five percent of the total amount." ”

The total amount is one million, and the compensation is five percent, which is 50,000 rupees, which is almost 50,000 yuan in RMB. Cheng Liping looked at his gambling book, there were only sixty or seventy thousand rupees left in total, and if he lost this, he still played a hairy game. The gambler sitting on the other side of Cheng Liping happily threw out 50,000 rupees and yelled at the dealer: "Borrow another million, hurry up!" ”

No wonder this guy was so confident when he placed a secret bet, it turned out that he was borrowing other people's money to play. The so-called debts are not worried, and if you owe too much, the money will become a bunch of useless numbers, and you can't pay it out anyway, so you can go with him with your arms and legs. Cheng Liping concocted it in the same way, and after throwing it out without ten thousand rupees, he also smiled heartily: "I will also borrow one million." ”

The steward, who was sitting on the periphery of the table, squeezed in and, without saying a word, paid a million cash to the gambler on the other side. But when it was Cheng Liping's turn, the stewards were not so cheerful, and they chattered a lot of words in the local language, listening to the tone, as if asking Cheng Liping who he was and what he could mortgage.

He speaks not English, which is the official language, but Urdu, the Chinese language of Pakistan. Cheng Liping couldn't speak this language, so he had to reply in English: "I'm a tourist from other places, and I don't have any collateral around me for the time being, but I have a company with very good profits." ”

The steward looked at Cheng Liping for a while, and said unceremoniously in English: "Take off your headscarf." ”

Cheng Liping obediently took off his turban, pretended to be arrogant, and looked at the stewards coldly.

"Chinese?" The steward asked.

Cheng Liping glared at each other and said, "To borrow or not?" I'm here to play cards, so I don't have that much time to listen to your nonsense. ”

The stewards didn't speak, and looked up and down around Cheng Liping for a long time before saying with a straight face: "One million rupees, 50,000 interest, settled once a week." ”

Cheng Liping acted very well, and waved his hand impatiently: "Hurry up, hurry up." ”

The steward didn't ramble anymore, and sent someone to send one million rupees in cash in front of Cheng Liping. With the gambling book, Cheng Liping's confidence was greatly boosted, and the next few rounds of cards all ended in victory. After playing for more than half an hour, he not only won back all the losses he had lost before, but also earned more than 200,000 yuan.

On the other side, the unlucky guy is still the loser, and the one million he just borrowed has not been warmed up, and it has gone into someone else's arms again. The man patted the table and offered to borrow another million, but the steward ignored him this time, and instead came with several bodyguards with guns, pulled him by the hair, and led him to the dome hall. The dealer glanced at Cheng Liping, half threatening and half reminding warning: "You can only borrow once a day, and before the next loan, you must repay the principal and interest." ”

Cheng Liping didn't raise his head, lit a cigarette by himself, spread his hands forward, and signaled to continue.

One less gambler, and there are only four people left at the table, two of whom are still to. If he wins again and drives away the next gambler, then Cheng Liping's goal will not be achieved. After these rounds of competition, Cheng Liping also knew that there must be cheating equipment installed on the card table, and there was a miniature camera in the fluorescent lamp on his head. It's okay to lose money, it's expected, but in any case, you can't lose too obviously and arouse the suspicion of the casino staff.

The hole cards were issued, Cheng Liping was the leader, and without waiting for the three gamblers to react, he directly raised the price to 10,000 rupees, and it was a secret bet. The next gambler smiled and said, "Brother, this is not your style." ”

Cheng Liping smiled: "I lost money just now, so be cautious." Now that you've won money, play a thrilling game. ”

The man nodded, looked at his hole cards, and followed the 20,000 rupees bet. The two Tuo on the opposite side did not hesitate and followed the secret bet of 10,000 respectively. Cheng Liping's odds of 1 to 4 were naturally fearless, and he threw another 10,000 rupees into it. The next gambler shook his head and threw away the cards, which turned out to be trying to fish in troubled waters.
