Chapter 200: Captain Hook Casino
In the evening, Li Guolou and his entourage came to the Michelin Western restaurant for dinner, and the Western food was about the mood, everyone sat separately, and each took care of their own gossip. Li Guolou's family of five, sitting on back-to-back couch chairs to eat, eating Western food is very slow, Li Guolou is bored looking at the British sun paper, and the three lovers next to him have endless words.
Yu Hanbing hurriedly walked into the restaurant, came to Li Guolou's side, and said, "Hey, I finally found you, little Lizi, you can come out for me." ”
Seeing Yu Hanbing's nervous look, Li Guolou thought that something had happened to his eldest brother, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Yu, my family is fine." ”
"Regardless of your family's affairs, I am responsible for their safety." Yu Hanbing's big guy was magnificent, and he turned his head and asked Li Guolou to follow behind his ass.
There are many things that men can't let the 'women' know, Li Guolou was in a much relaxed mood, and walked to a corner of the road, where others couldn't hear the conversation between them.
Yu Hanbing lowered his voice and said, "Little Lizi, something is wrong." I just got the news from the rivers and lakes that someone is not good for you, they want your whole family's life, they want to rob you on the road, and you don't have enough people to drink a pot now. ”
"Who is it?" Li Guolou looked nervous, he was surrounded by family members, if it happened, how could he take care of so many burdens alone.
"It's the people of the White Lotus Sect and the Axe Gang, I can only pretend to be confused about this, the people of the White Lotus Sect and the Axe Gang, I can't afford to offend. I can't give you additional guards, you can find a way to add more men yourself. I'm giving you this news worth 10,000 dollars, and you've paid it back well in this life. You can do it yourself, don't let people take care of your family, and people don't want ransom. Got it? Yu Hanbing's hoarse voice seemed to have seen the bloodiest scene, he still liked Li Guolou, and at the critical moment, the people of the elder brothers' association stood on the side of the third brother of Tianzihao.
"Thank you, Mr. Yu, in this life, our Li clan knows who is a friend, my uncle in Sichuan, I will find a way to say hello, and in the future, I will definitely let the tobacco of your elder brotherhood sell well in the entire Qing Dynasty." Li Guolou said unashamedly that he has the capital and is qualified to say this, Li Hongzhang's eldest son Li Jingyi is a high-ranking official in Yungui, and the Li family's power has long been a pillar in the south. Li Guolou is also a member of the Li family, he took root in Beijing and wanted to create a new world in the north, and the filial piety silver will still fall into the pocket of Uncle Li Jingyi in the future.
"Don't let it go after the horse, let me return to Beijing alive, don't be reckless! The Axe Gang is the master of life, and even the war horses can't bear the axes when they fly. "Yu Hanbing still has lingering palpitations for the poor's 'door' faction, the fierce are afraid of Leng, the stunned are afraid of dying, the Axe Gang is a gang of poor people who don't want to die, they are all outlaws, and people with a little wealth easily dare not dare to be in the Axe Gang.
Li Guolou nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yu, when have I suffered a loss, and I haven't finished eating, come!" Eat a Western meal together, this is much better than your Sichuan hot pot, and you won't get angry after eating it. ”
"Little Lizi, when it's time for you to carry it, which one doesn't tell you to stop my words, what are you looking for foreigners?" Yu Hanbing had something to say, and went to dinner with Li Guolou with a smile, he rushed desperately for Li Guolou's matter, for fear that Li Guolou would be plotted. He made a heavy bet on Li Guolou, and the return was still flying in the sky, how could he let Li Guolou be in a different place.
"This is a high-end Western restaurant, Mr. Yu is a national entrepreneur, be cautious!" Li Guolou smiled without 'showing', and sighed in his heart, he calculated that the enemy thought that he didn't know the ghosts, how could he have thought that the enemy would have taken the lead a long time ago, fortunately, he still had more friends and fewer enemies, otherwise he didn't know who did it if he died.
Li Guolou looked around at his friends and guards, and said loudly: "I invite you to drink champagne, if you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return." ”
The applause rang out, and the elegant demeanor looked very decent. This is a paradise for the rich, and only those who have wandered in this kind of place can know what the value of life is.
Journalists should be people who can afford to endure hardships, but since the two reporters of French Pravda followed Li Guolou, they have been accustomed to eating and drinking well, and they have nothing to do with Li Guolou, in their eyes Li Guolou is a treasure, and they have countless potentials to tap. Pravda can report some news about Li Guolou and interesting anecdotes about Yelia in three days, and people in the French Concession have long liked to watch the 'flowery' news of Li Guolou's family.
The next morning, Li Guolou and Yelia stepped into the Captain Hook Casino, although Jack the One-Eyed Dragon had invited Li Guolou to dinner, but here Li Guolou was still here for the first time in his life. Li Guolou discussed with his family and felt that it was best to hire a bodyguard from the casino.
These bodyguards are all mercenary backgrounds, and many of them have fought in battles, and even participated in the foreign gun team and the Taiping army. They are not afraid of death, the boss One-Eyed Dragon Jack has already bought them pension insurance, even if they die on the battlefield, their family will be taken care of, the welfare of the casino is the best, these bodyguards usually shoulder the heavy responsibility of picking up and dropping off distinguished guests, have rich combat experience and mature emergency response measures.
When Jack the one-eyed dragon heard that someone wanted to kill Li Guolou, he was unhappy and scolded angrily. readily agreed to Li Guolou's request and rented out the casino's guards to Li Guolou, and the price was negotiable.
Li Guolou hired a pikeman team to escort thirty people, most of whom were mongrels, and at first glance they looked like 'mixed' blood.
The captain of the guard, Downing, was less than forty years old, short and 'fine', with black hair and blue eyes, and three mustaches, and looked like a general, claiming to be Portuguese. As soon as he inquired about the 'door' of his hometown in Macao, Li Guolou knew that this person was also a mongrel.
Li Guolou paid the deposit on the spot, inspected the team, saw the appearance of these thirty people clearly, and didn't let the one-eyed dragon Jack play tricky and change to a Qing Dynasty to fool him.
Yelia looked at this uneven team, 120,000 worried, and secretly asked: "Mike, I think it's better to invite the people in the dart game, how can such people fight with the rebels." ”
"Hey, I also want to invite the people from the dart bureau, but I'm just afraid that the gangsters will shout and talk about 'friendship' at that time, and the people in the dart bureau will defect and sell us. Yelia, don't look at these people who don't look good, they have fought and can't compare with the kind of gangsters who are blind and coaxing, most of these people are good at fencing, and the speed of cutting people with an axe on the battlefield is too slow, when you meet this kind of fencing master, the axe only has one move to cut people with a flying axe. In the palm of your hand, the Axe Gang are no match for these mongrels. Li Guolou comforted Yelia in his mouth, and he didn't know anything about the guards of these casinos, but what could he do, he was not a high-ranking official, and there were no soldiers or family members to deploy.
At this time, Li Guolou thought that to make money, he had to 'spend' money to buy peace, he was used to being independent, and he liked to hang out alone. Now I know the disadvantages of being a rich man, and the idea of beating him when he goes out of the 'door', and there are two underworld people who fall in love with him. This is also something that is boasted in the newspapers, which makes people really think that he has made a fortune in the French Concession. The gangsters who robbed the money thought that he would bring countless gold and silver back to Beijing. But in what era now, a promissory note can be carried with you, and there is a secret mark on it, even if it is stolen, it cannot be used as money.
"Mike, I must be by your side, you don't want to play the bag, I have also practiced fencing." Yelia expected what Li Guolou would do, so let Li Guolou be mentally prepared first.
In front of many guards, Li Guolou didn't say much, and replied vaguely: "Well, I know, I'll talk about it when I go back." ”
Yelia sighed: "Mike, after returning to Beijing, we will raise more than a dozen family members, if we don't raise them, you will make a big move, and there will be more and more people who have bad ideas against our family in the future." ”
"yes, I see." Li Guolou repeated dryly, lowered his head in frustration, his life had just begun, but he was struggling, how long could he last with the money he won from gambling? He seems to have infinite beauty, but in fact, he has never done a profitable business, and he belongs to the kind of person who is matched by Lalang. cheated money from his family and lover to start his own business, and as for the black gold that was not in his pocket and 'spent' out, I don't know how many people have taken a fancy to him as a piece of Tang monk's 'meat'.
When Li Guolou left, Jack the one-eyed dragon warmly invited and said, "Mike, play a few games before leaving." ”
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Mr. Jack, since we are friends, I won't play, I am a detective who is the best at looking at people's faces, as long as you gamble face-to-face, you will lose money." ”
"Hahaha!" Jack the One-Eyed Dragon laughed three times and said, "Gamblers think so. ”
Li Guolou took off his hat, held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jack gives you face, and he will play sand crabs with you here." ”
"Please!" The demon "glamorous" and "girl" dressed in the violent "dew" took Li Guolou out to gamble, and the one-eyed dragon Jack with a cigar in his hand behind him raised his voice and said: "Mike has lost money, I can borrow money here." ”
Li Guolou didn't look back, waved his hand, and said, "Mr. Jack, you won't welcome me to gamble at Captain Hook Casino again in the future." ”
Yelia took a step forward, took Li Guolou's arm, and separated the demon 'Yan' and 'girl' from Li Guolou, and the 'woman' saw Li Guolou like a fly attached to a maggot. She has never seen the 'female' person that Li Guolou is not interested in, Li Guolou is about to compete with Tarzan the ape, which makes the shameless 'female' people rush to it. Yelia was very concerned about Li Guolou's every move, and suspected that Li Guolou was getting 'flowers' outside to provoke grass, but for the sake of Li Guolou's ability to satisfy her 'desire', Yelia didn't talk about it with Li Guolou, she had already heard that Li Guolou and Yesenia had a 'leg'.
The casino is a place where the sun is not watching, and an oil lamp hanging above his head illuminates the room, and Li Guolou first came to the table where he gambled on blackjack. There are five gamblers on the long table, and a beautiful 'female' dealer.
Li Guolou smiled slightly, helped Yelia to sit down, and he asked his lover Yelia to play a few games. Li Guolou looked at the gambling cards on the table, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, he was laughing at the rules of the casino.
At this time, the casino is gambling with a playing card, and the cards are dealt in a circle and then start again with new cards, which gives people the opportunity to take advantage of the probability of playing cards. Li Guolou has an extraordinary memory of numbers, and he has also practiced at home.
"Follow!" "Don't follow!" As if not caring about winning or losing, Yelia spoke elegantly and firmly, holding a glass of 'chicken' tail wine in one hand, and her sapphire eyes firing at each gambler.
There was Yelia at the table, and there was no shortage of people, and when one person left, another new face was immediately filled, and the long table was filled with five gamblers, and two hours later, Yelia was in front of him with neatly stacked and colorful chips.
The demon 'Yan' and 'girl' Lang never left Li Guolou's side, and kept delivering tea and handing 'hair' towels to Li Guolou and Yelia, and the five chips fell into the gap between the demon 'Yan' and 'girl's breasts', and she was still waiting by Li Guolou's side without being satisfied, staring at Li Guolou and Yelia to 'figure' understand why luck always fell on the two of them.
Li Guolou pushed Yelia and said, "Dear Yelia, give Mr. Jack face, don't come again." Forget about the sand crab, it's too big! Mr. Jack will be unhappy. ”
Yelia sighed, "Yes! It's still the most refreshing kind of money to come, Miss, please give us a change of chips. ”
After speaking, Yelia gave each of the five gamblers on the table a flying 'kiss', which made people see her 'fascinated' demeanor.
Jack the one-eyed dragon ran over, bowed his head to Li Guolou, and asked, "Mr. Mike, how did you do it, please tell me no matter what." ”
Li Guolou said: "Mr. Jack, if I tell you, it will cut off the financial routes of countless people, and people will scold me to death." ”
The one-eyed dragon jack grabbed Li Guolou's arm and didn't let go, and begged: "Mr. Mike, in the future, I will open a casino in Jingshi to let you participate in the shares." ”
"A word?"
"It's hard to chase a horse!" One-eyed dragon Jack and Li Guolou high-fived and swore by it.
"Mr. Jack, in the future, if you deal four decks of cards together, I won't remember what cards are below." Li Guolou sold a big secret to the one-eyed dragon Jack for free, and flew to the beautiful 'female' dealer with a flick of a chip with his thumb, and then dashingly turned the top hat in his hand with two hands, and put it on his head, his hand was still pressed above the hat and bowed his head slightly to the one-eyed dragon Jack, and turned away elegantly and handsomely.
Ignoring Yelia's side, the demon 'Yan' and 'girl' rushed up and handed Li Guolou a card, and said in a coquettish voice: "Mr. Mike, remember that my name is Nikita, this is the address of my house, please be sure to enjoy it." ”
Li Guolou smiled awkwardly at the demon 'Yan' and 'girl', took the card, and thought: The card will be torn off by Yelia when it goes out of the 'door', and there will be no chance to see Nikita in the future.
Li Guolou took a deep look at the bumpy and plump figure of the demon 'glamorous' and 'female' Lang Nikita, the beauty and 'sex' can never be finished, just feast your eyes.
