Lin Jiangbei followed Dai Zhenwu to the pachinko room on the second floor.

Unlike when Lin Jiangbei came over in the afternoon, the pachinko room was deserted, at this time the pachinko room was already full, and none of the more than 20 pachinko tables was idle, and each pachinko was surrounded by a few guests playing marble.

Seeing Dai Zhenwu and Lin Jiangbei walking in, Manager Wu of the pachinko room hurriedly greeted him, "Young Master Dai and Boss Xu, are you two here?" ”

Dai Zhenwu didn't pay attention to Manager Wu, but walked around the pachinko room with his eyes, and didn't find Araki Oi's figure, so he turned his face and asked Manager Wu, "What about that guy Araki Oi?" Why didn't I find him? ”

"Young Master Dai, Director Araki, he hasn't arrived today!" Manager Wu said.

"Yo ho, there's something wrong with that!" Dai Zhenwu glanced at Manager Wu and said, "Usually Araki Oi arrived at half past six, but now it's almost half past seven, why hasn't he arrived yet?" Xiao Wu, you give me an honest explanation, did you secretly ventilate Araki Oi and tell him that I found a very powerful marble master today, so that he should not come over today? ”

"Oh, Young Master Dai, the conscience of heaven and earth!" Manager Wu hurriedly swore to the sky, "You just lent me a hundred guts, and I don't dare to secretly report to Director Araki!" ”

At this moment, suddenly a voice sounded from outside the door, "Wu Sang, don't you dare to secretly report anything to me?" ”

Lin Jiangbei turned his head to look, and saw a young man wearing a pale yellow tweed coat walking outside the door, short and stout, with thin eyebrows and thin eyes, a long donkey face, and a fine shave on his chin, but he couldn't hide the shadow of his beard.

Doesn't this appearance match the appearance of Araki Oi described by Liu Xuan?

Sure enough, I saw Manager Wu hurriedly smile at the young man and said, "Director Araki, are you here?" Young Master Dai is looking for you! ”

"Haha, yes!" Araki Oi's hands were shocked, he took off the pale yellow coat on his body, threw it into Manager Wu's hand, sorted out the tie around his neck, and said to Dai Zhenwu: "Dai Jun, could it be that you haven't lost two days ago, and you can't wait to find me to send money today?" ”

"Hmph," Dai Zhenwu sneered, "Araki-kun, don't be happy too early, it's not certain who will send money to whom later!" ”

Speaking of this, he pointed at Araki Oi and introduced to Lin Jiangbei: "Brother Bingcheng, this is the marble master I mentioned to you before, Araki Oi, the director of the labor agency of Nissin Kisen Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. ”

Nissin Kisen Co., Ltd. is a joint venture of four Japanese shipping companies in China: Nippon Yusen Shipping Co., Ltd., Osaka Merchant Marine Co., Ltd., Daito Kisen Co., Ltd., and Hunan Kisen Co., Ltd. Among them, Daito Steamship Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Daito Company opened by Masahiko Gansu in Tianjin.

Because the headquarters of Nissin Kisen Co., Ltd. is in Shanghai, and its reputation in Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang is far greater than that of Masahiko Gansu, Araki Oi came to Shanghai to rebuild the labor agency, and directly played the banner of Nissin Kisen Co., Ltd.

"Director Araki, look up for a long time!" Lin Jiangbei clasped his hands together and arched his hand towards Araki Oi.

Araki Oi looked Lin Jiangbei up and down, and then turned his head to look at Dai Zhenwu and asked suspiciously, "Dai Jun, who is this?" ”

"Well, I was about to introduce you!" Dai Zhenwu stretched out his hand and pointed at Lin Jiangbei, and said to Araki Oi with a smile: "Araki-kun, this is my brother Xu Bingcheng, I heard that you played marbles very well, and I came to ask you for advice." ”

"It turns out that Xu Sang is also a marbleball master?" Araki Oi turned his head and looked at Lin Jiangbei again, "I don't know where Xu Sang is?" ”

"Hehe, it's not a good job, so I led a few dung men to make a road with bread in Ma Hong, and just mixed a mouthful of food to eat." Lin Jiangbei smiled faintly and replied.

"Oh?" Araki Oi's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Lin Jiangbei was different, "It turns out that Xu Sang is actually in Ma Hongji's high school!" ”

"Araki-kun, what are you doing so much nonsense?" Dai Zhenwu was dissatisfied on the side, and interjected: "My Bingcheng brothers came here today to ask you for a war match, so don't drag on time!" ”

"Looking for me to make an appointment with a marble? All right! Araki Oni laughed, turned his head to Manager Wu and said, "Wu Sang, please help me arrange a pachinko table with Xu Sang." ”

"Great!" Manager Wu turned around, glanced around the pachinko room with his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to call a pachinko room staff member standing next to him, pointed to a pachinko table in the distance, and whispered a few words to the ear of the pachinko room staff.

The pachinko clerk nodded repeatedly, and then ran briskly towards the pachinko in the distance.

After a short time, the clerk ran back and reported to Manager Wu: "Manager Wu, Mr. Zhang's side has agreed to give up the pachinko!" ”

Manager Wu nodded, turned around, and said to Araki Oi, Dai Zhenwu, and Lin Jiangbei: "Director Araki, Young Master Dai, and Boss Xu, please come with me!" ”

So Lin Jiangbei followed behind Dai Zhenwu and came to the pachinko that had just been vacated with Araki Oi. Coincidentally, this pachinko happens to be Xiao Fan in charge of the service again.

Seeing Manager Wu leading Dai Zhenwu, Lin Jiangbei and Araki Oi over together, Xiao Fan hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Ouch, Boss Xu, Young Master Dai, and Director Araki, are you here?" ”

Araki Oi heard Xiao Fan greet him like this, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Jiangbei in surprise. You know, in the Shanghai Concession, although the status of the dung head is not low, but this "Xu Bingcheng" is just a small dung head after all, even if the status is high, it is impossible to be higher than Dai Zhen No. 5 Middle School, the young owner of the Dai Shengchang Steamship Company, right?

You must know that the Dai Shengchang Steamship Company is a large enterprise that can compete with Nissin Steamship Co., Ltd., if you talk about the strength of the enterprise alone, not to mention the small dung head like "Xu Bingcheng", it is the boss of "Xu Bingcheng", the old man of Ma Hongji, Sister Gui, who is not enough to see in front of the Dai Shengchang Steamship Company!

But this Xiao Fan just put the title of "Xu Bingcheng" in front of Dai Zhenwu, what does this mean? This shows that "Xu Bingcheng" must be more generous, this Xiao Fan has just received his benefits, so he will greet him before Dai Zhenwu!

Thinking in his heart, Araki Oi stopped next to the pachinko, gently stroked the green flannel cloth on the pachinko with his hand, turned around and asked Lin Jiangbei: "Xu Sang, since you want to make an appointment with me, have you heard of the rules for marbles to fight with me?" ”

"I've never heard of it!" Lin Jiangbei shook his head and turned his head to look at Dai Zhenwu.

"Oh, Operation Ice City, I forgot to introduce this to you!" Dai Zhen patted his head on May 1 and said with a smile: "Then I'll introduce you now." In fact, Araki-kun's rules for making an appointment with marbles are no different from the rules for you and me to make an appointment with me in the afternoon. It's just that the amount of bets placed on each set is relatively large. The minimum is 200 fiat currency per plate. ”

Two hundred fiat? It's really not small, it's quite a plate of two small yellow croaker.

"Two hundred fiat is two hundred fiat!" Lin Jiangbei said, "However, I still want to ask Director Araki to re-explain the rules, so as not to have any misunderstandings later!" ”

Seeing that Lin Jiangbei didn't care about the amount of the bet, Araki Oi also secretly sighed in his heart: It is said that the dung head and dung bully in the Shanghai Concession have a high income, I didn't believe it before, but when I look at it today, it is indeed the case. A small dung head who only wrapped a road under Sister Ma Hongji A Gui didn't care about a pachinko with two small yellow croakers. If it were replaced by those big dung heads that covered many roads, what kind of generous shots would it be?

But this is just right, the richer the little dung head of "Xu Bingcheng", the more he can win. It's best to be able to make this little dung go bankrupt, and then see if you can use this little dung to get your labor agency the first business.

So Araki Oi told Lin Jiangbei about the rules of the battle again, and saw that Lin Jiangbei had no other questions, and then asked Lin Jiangbei: "Lin Sang, how many bets are you going to place in our first game?" ”

"Let's place two hundred fiat coins first!" Lin Jiangbei pondered for a moment and said.

"Okay, then two hundred fiat!" Araki Oi took out twenty ten-yuan bills from his wallet and handed them to Xiao Fan.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangbei also took out a two-hundred-yuan bill and handed it to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan happily took these banknotes, and then cheered Lin Jiangbei up: "Boss Xu, you must win!" ”

He has already understood Lin Jiangbei's temperament, as long as Lin Jiangbei can win money, he will definitely give him a lot of tips. Unlike Araki Oi's little Japan, he won more than 5,000 fiat currency from Dai Zhenwu, and he was not willing to give him a dime in reward.

"Yes, Brother Bingcheng, you must fight for his anger and win him!" Dai Zhenwu also shouted on the side.

"Well, I'll do my best!" Lin Jiangbei made a "V" gesture at Dai Zhenwu, and immediately reacted, at this time, no one understood that this "V" gesture represented victory.

Araki Oi smiled faintly and stretched out his hand to signal Xiao Fan to start swinging the marble. He really didn't take Lin Jiangbei in his heart. You must know that in the marbles competition held in the Tianjin Concession, he defeated all kinds of Westerners in the Tianjin Concession and won the second place in the marble competition.

And when he arrived in Shanghai, he also heard that the marquette competition held here in Shanghai won the bids were all Westerners and Japanese, and as for the Chinese marchinists, they had not even won the right to rematch, let alone enter the finals to compete for the bid.

Just like Xiao Fan, the number one master among the staff of the pachinko room of the Licha Hotel in front of him, is already quite good among the Chinese, but if Araki Oi faces Xiao Fan, he definitely has the strength to directly let two marbles.

After Xiao Fan set up the marble, he took out a coin and asked Lin Jiangbei and Araki Oi to guess.

Araki Oi guessed the head, and then got the tee. He picked up the powder and gently rubbed it on the head of the marble, and asked Lin Jiangbei, who was standing opposite him, "I don't know how many dung men Xu Sang has?" ”

"How many dungmen can there be if you only pack one road?" Lin Jiangbei said with a smile, "It's only in your early fifties." ”

Araki Oi's eyes couldn't help but light up, "In other words, if we can wrap more roads, Mr. Xu will be able to find more dungmen?" If this is really the case, I must win this "Xu Bingcheng" fiercely. If he can find more dungmen, he will be able to find more workers for his labor agency.

As long as he owes himself a huge debt, he will not worry that he is unwilling to introduce himself to labor.

"More roads?" Lin Jiangbei didn't seem to know that Araki Oi was harboring a ghost in his heart, and sneered, "It's just a road on Beishan West Road, and I also begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother, I don't know how much trouble it took to get it from Sister A Gui's hand." If you want more roads, isn't it a fool's dream? ”

"That's right!" Araki Oi nodded, "Your Sister Gui also has a large group of dung men to feed, and it is impossible to give you all the roads!" ”

As he spoke, he put the powder cube on the pachinko table, set up the scaffold, snapped an afterburner high pole, and vigorously scattered the ball pile, but unfortunately he was unlucky and no ball fell into the bag.

He carefully observed the situation on the table with his eyes, and fortunately, the white cue ball was surrounded by other marbles in the middle, not only was it not good to set up a scaffold, but also there was no good line to hit the ball.

If he were to play this pole, he would only be able to push the ball lightly and make a defense.

Dai Zhenwu looked very depressed from the sidelines. In his heart, Araki Oi, the bastard, was too lucky, most of the marbles on the table were scattered, but there were three marbles tightly surrounding the white cue ball, leaving no chance for Lin Jiangbei.

"Xu Sang, it's your turn!" Araki Oi stepped aside, reached out and picked up the Longjing tea that Manager Wu had just delivered, and took a sip gently.

Lin Jiangbei took a marbleball rod and carefully observed it around the table for a week, and found that with the usual hitting techniques, there was no chance to attack at all. However, fortunately, the rules of the American sixteen-ball are different from the rules of British snooker, and the American sixteen-ball is allowed to jump the ball, so even if the white cue ball is tightly surrounded by three marbles, there is still an opportunity to attack by using the hitting technique of the jump ball.

The only thing that is a little difficult is that the handframe is too bad, like a right-handed player, can only take the backhand elevated way to hit the white cue ball, so that the white cue ball jumps out at the same time, but also hit the target marble into the bag, this difficulty is not ordinary!

Lin Jiangbei thought in his heart, so he leaned on the side of the pachinko table with his back to the side, his left hand pressed the edge of the table almost vertically, his thumb was raised high, and his right hand held the pachinko rod from behind, forming a vertical angle with the white cue ball, and then the rod head was quickly inserted down, only to see the white cue ball jumping high from the middle of the three marbles and the library edge, and then just smashed the side of the No. 2 panchromatic ball, so the No. 2 panchromatic ball spun rapidly and rolled out, and then hit the No. 10 two-color ball, knocking the No. 10 two-color ball into the bottom pocket.

"Poof!" Araki Oi, who had been sitting on a chair and sipping tea, was surprised to squirt out the tea in his throat and stared blankly at the No. 10 two-color ball in the bottom bag.

How is that possible?

The master set up the rod plus the backhand hit plus the jump ball plus the second pass and the side spin, these things are not difficult to separate, but when combined, it is a hellish level of difficulty, and if he does this combination hitting technique, he may not be able to succeed once in 10,000 times, how can the little dung head of "Xu Bingcheng" easily succeed?
