Chapter Eighty-Six: Gambling on a Future (Part II)
"Yes, after knowing the news of your fight with Guozijian today, the gambling house will open... Now that the country is hot, the odds have dropped to 0.5, and your odds are three to one when I bet..."
Cheng Chumo continued, "Brother, you have to win this literary battle, my old Cheng has put all the money saved by his daughter-in-law on you..."Cheng Chumo lowered his head and said.
"Poof..."
Tao Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud...
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime good business, an absolute profit, much more profitable than the business of our restaurant, teahouse, and steamed bun shop... But there's one thing... There's a risk in that..."
Tao Ran said solemnly...
"What's the risk here, the gambling house in Chang'an City has existed before I was born... Credibility is well known..."
"That's when they didn't go bankrupt, and when they got to bankrupt, where would they have any credibility... Besides, these gambling houses can still be opened by ordinary people, maybe it is the nobleman behind it? ”
Tao Ran pointed to Cheng Chumo's head and said.
"Listening to my brother's words, I mean I'm going to gamble big..."Cheng Chumo said with wide eyes.
"Now is the time to use money, why not if someone sends money? What's more, their money is not clean money, and it is not the money of the common people in the pit? This marquis is also taken from the people and for the people..."Tao Ran said with a serious face.
"Didn't you just say there was a risk? Why gamble big? Cheng Chumo looked confused...
"It is precisely because of the risk of gambling that this marquis is ready to pull people into the shares?" Tao Ran said with a mysterious smile.
"Pull people in? I don't have any money, I even have the money to marry my daughter-in-law..."Cheng Chumo waved his hand and said.
"Pull you into the shares? Brother Mo, your wings can't make too many waves now... Uncle Lacheng is almost as big as a shareholder..."
After speaking, Tao Ran put his mouth to Cheng and whispered softly in his ear...
Gradually, Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up..."I see that this can be done... Haha, haha, the opportunity to get rich has arrived..."
Cheng Chumo laughed and rode away...
"Haha... Haha..."After listening to Tao Ran's strategy conveyed by Cheng Chumo, the crown prince Li Chengqian leaned forward and leaned back with laughter, unable to straighten his waist...
"Brother Chumo, you wait for me in the palace, and I will go to my father to report this matter... I will definitely be able to get the support of my father..."The crown prince Li Chengqian disappeared from Cheng Chumo's sight like a smoke in excitement.
"Son-in-law, see father...", the crown prince Li Chengqian respectfully greeted.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" His Majesty Li Er looked at the fine beads of sweat on the forehead of the crown prince Li Chengqian and asked.
"Report to my father, Chang'an has something important for his sons to report..."
"Oh, what is the matter of the fight with the country's eunuch?" His Majesty Li Er asked with interest.
"Back to my father, it is indeed related to the Guozi Jian Wendou, but it's just that Chang'an Hou is ready to gamble a big one this time..."Prince Li Chengqian replied truthfully.
"Bet on a big one? I have promised Kong Yingda and Chang Anhou that no matter if either side loses, they can go to the other academy to teach... How can it be easily changed? Besides, Chang Anhou is almost sure of victory, does he still have to make an inch? ”
His Majesty Li Er said very dissatisfied.
"Father, it's not what you think, Chang'an Hou wants to gamble a lot in the gambling house." Prince Li Chengqian hurriedly explained.
"Oh, the gambling house bet big?" His Majesty Li Er's eyes lit up instantly...
Of course, he knew that the gambling house in Chang'an City was a huge piece of fat, which had been firmly controlled by the family many years ago...
Interesting, now Chang'an Hou is going to gamble a lot in the gambling house, which makes His Majesty Li Er's whole body immediately excited...
"Qian'er, tell my father quickly, what is Chang'an Hou going to do?" His Majesty Li Er couldn't wait to ask.
So the crown prince Li Chengqian conveyed the words that Cheng Chumo conveyed to him and conveyed them to His Majesty Li Er as they were...
His Majesty Li Er's eyes are getting brighter and brighter... It was as if he saw a mountain of gold piled up in front of him...
"Haha... Ha ha... Qian'er, this matter is very much in line with the emperor's wishes, tell Chang'an Hou to do it with confidence, the emperor is in charge of this matter... Ha ha... Haha..."His Majesty Li Er laughed happily...
After receiving the promise of his father's support, the crown prince Li Chengqian returned to the palace and immediately notified Cheng Chumo...
At the same time as Cheng Chumo told Tao Ran, the crown prince Li Chengqian took out two silver ingots of ten taels from the silver money that Tao Ran returned last time and prepared to build Tao Xiaosheng's bun shop, and handed over all the rest to Cheng Chumo.
"Give all these silver coins to Chang'an Hou, and say that I invested them..."Prince Li Chengqian said excitedly.
Thinking that once Chang'an Hou won the Wendou, the money would immediately double, and the crown prince Li Chengqian was excited, and his eyes were full of stars...
"Prince, do you really press all of this?" Cheng Chumo said a little nervously.
"Don't worry, Chang'an Hou's ability, can you still believe it?" Prince Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Yes, my brother is a child of immortals... Go home and let my father press all the extra money in the house..."Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
"No, Brother Mo... Have you forgotten the key precautions explained by Chang'an? Let's go and press the bright face, we have to press the country to win... In this way, the dealer will be even more optimistic about Chang'an... When Chang'anhou's odds are at their highest, Chang'anhou bets on his own win..."
"What a brilliant plan, haha... Ha ha... You don't know how happy my father was to hear the news... After so many years, they have also hacked the people of Chang'an City for a lot of money, it's time for Chang'an Hou to give them a long memory..."His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Li Chengqian's excited little face turned red...
"Okay, I'll go tell my brother... Let him rest assured..."
Looking at the back of Cheng Chumo leaving in a hurry, the crown prince Li Chengqian smiled from ear to ear...
Tao Ran happily accepted the funds brought by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to Cheng Chumo, some money can be earned, but whether there is a chance to spend it is a big question...
In order not to be the unlucky guy who has a life to make money and no money to spend...
Tao Ran came up with the idea of pulling His Majesty Li Er and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to join the shares...
Of course, in order to do as much as possible to make this play as good as possible...
Tao Ran also needs to let General Cheng and others play a good show...
"Brother, it's really up to you this time, even the prince took out the belongings at the bottom of the box..."
"Remember what I told you, be sure to go home tonight and tell Uncle Cheng... You give these silver taels to Uncle Cheng, and let him do what I want tomorrow..."
Tao Ran looked at Cheng Chumo and then said: "This matter should not be known by too many people, when the secret is known by many people, it will no longer be a secret..."
