I don't know how long it was, when, Li Lianying took Yang Lin and others to the first floor of the basement, and as soon as she entered, she was immediately shocked by the lively scene inside, and suddenly felt a heat wave hit. However, Na Yancheng, Zhao Shanqing, and Yi Ergetu frowned at the same time, and a trace www.biquge.info of displeasure disappeared in an instant.

didn't seem to notice the change in the expressions of the three of them, Li Lianying still took care of herself and led the way, with a smug look on her face, very excited, and selflessly introduced the business on the basement floor.

"Three adults, this is our Paramount casino, there are all kinds of ways to play, not only the collection of dice, pai gow, but also the new ways we invented, such as cards, roulette, etc., absolutely guarantee that everyone who comes here has a good time!"

When Li Lianying told her heart's content, some of the wealthy businessmen and magnates around her looked at him gloomily with uncertain expressions, very resentful. There were also some people who secretly rejoiced that their rationality was wise, and they did not become too impulsive and immediately became members of Paramount, but waited for a while.

Some of them were talking to each other, whispering, and resentful.

"Damn, this Li Lianying is really ****** pit person, Lao Tzu just became a member of Blue Jade, and he didn't stay long on the third floor, and when he was about to talk to the three adults, that kid actually took the three adults downstairs, wasting 100,000 taels of silver in vain!"

"Who says it's not, even though I'm a gold member, it's also 50,000 taels of real gold and silver, a real silver ticket, which can be exchanged at any time."

"Fortunately, I just bought a brass membership, and it's only five thousand taels, so I will be treated as a meat bun and beat a dog, and I should buy a lesson and give a favor."

......

These people deliberately spoke loudly, so that the governor, the governor and the overseer could hear it clearly, which made the three of them feel very bad, and even Zhao Shanqing, who was his brother-in-law, even if he was the governor of one side, felt hot and was calculated by his brother-in-law.

During the Qing Dynasty, brothels were the most developed, followed by casinos. Although the Qing court had repeatedly ordered it, every emperor emphasized that officials were not allowed to go to these places. However, these are only requirements, after all, they are not decrees, and they cannot stop officials from entering and leaving these places.

What's more, the people in power in the Qing court, when the emperor went out on patrol in micro-clothes, or inspected various places with great fanfare, there were also brothels. For example, Shunzhi, the most favored concubine, Concubine Dong E, is a famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River, who not only plays the pipa well, but also is proficient in poetry and books. Another example is Qianlong, every time he travels south, he will recruit famous prostitutes in Jiangnan to meet him.

In the realm of Guangzhou Mansion, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there is no scruple about going in and out of brothels and casinos.

Therefore, the faces of the three big men are ugly, not because Li Lianying brought herself to the casino, but because she used her own name to make a lot of money, and she actually had her own share, without any expression.

At this time, Li Lianying beckoned, and the shopkeeper came out, followed by three small servants, each holding a tray, in which a thick stack of chips was placed, divided into six types, which made the onlookers very surprised, wondering what this was for? What's the fuss?

"Three adults, let me give you a small reply, and introduce the casino on the first floor of the basement for the adults."

The shopkeeper's words and the strange performance of the three servants behind him made the three of them temporarily suppress the anger in their hearts and aroused their curiosity, and the governor Na Yancheng said flatly: "Let's talk, if it doesn't make sense, let's go, it's too noisy here~"

As soon as the words fell, there was immediately a sense of schadenfreude around her, and she secretly said that her whining words just now had worked, and Li Lianying was even more anxious, and she didn't know what to say, so she realized the urgency of the matter.

It seems that he has thought of this situation for a long time, and he already has a countermeasure in his heart, but he saw that the shopkeeper was not in a hurry, pointed to the three little guys behind him, and said slowly and respectfully: "Qi Yu three adults, this is the bargaining chip of the casino." Unlike other casinos, we don't gamble with cash, but with these chips. ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, which made everyone very puzzled, and their hearts were full of doubts, and the three of them were even more curious. In particular, Yi Ergetu, the superintendent of the Guangdong Customs Bureau, who specializes in foreign trade, immediately recognized the material of the chips and asked suspiciously.

"How do you gamble with these glasses as chips? How do you make money in casinos? Moreover, these glass objects originate from the West, how can ordinary gamblers obtain them? ”

The shopkeeper's smile is right, indifferent, eloquent, and slowly narrated.

"Three adults, such chips are not for gamblers to buy, but as a medium of circulation."

The short introduction did not solve everyone's doubts, but was even more puzzled and full of doubts.

"Yes, if cash is used as a bargaining chip for gambling, the guests use it too often, which will inevitably cause the lack and wear of money. Once this material is used as a chip for gambling funds, this loss can be greatly reduced, which is beneficial to customers or to us Paramount. ”

Some people have already understood it, and the next words of the shopkeeper have completely dissolved their suspicions and fully understood.

"Three adults, gamblers can first exchange the silver taels for this kind of chips, and then gamble, and when they leave, they can also exchange them back, and they can be exchanged for cash or silver tickets."

"Like this red chip, it represents a copper plate, so a copper plate can be exchanged; The orange represents ten copper plates, the green represents fifty copper plates, the cyan represents one hundred copper plates, the blue represents five hundred copper plates, and the purple represents a hanging coin and a thousand words. ”

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "The chips of these colors are larger in size, and they represent ten taels of silver, fifty taels, one hundred taels, five hundred taels, one thousand taels, and ten thousand taels. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Lianying stretched her neck, revealing a proud look, as if all this was from his hands and was invented by him.

Who was there, whether rich or powerful, who had not been to a casino? Therefore, everyone is very familiar with the rules of the casino. Although these people did not care about the wear and tear of the money, they were shocked by this invention, this casino reform.

Not only because this way of chips reduces the wear and tear of silver when gambling money, but also suitable for all kinds of people, commoners can, powerful people can also, and the distribution of chips is very reasonable.

Especially those wealthy businessmen and tycoons, they are deeply aware of the Tao, what does it mean? It is better to understand that trickles converge into rivers, and no matter how small the profit is, it is a large amount of wealth. It can be said that this casino is a cornucopia, a gold hole.

The most special thing is that the chips made of glass look very comfortable, and the smooth surface makes people like it, and they can't help but accept it.

Li Lianying beckoned to the three little guys and motioned for them to come in, and at the same time, said to the three governors: "Three adults, this is a bargaining chip prepared for you, covering all kinds of styles. However, the short stack is much less, only a few taels. For adults to try their luck and play casually. ”

"And the other large ones, a hundred in red and orange, eighty-eight in green, sixty-six in cyan, fifty in blue, and thirty in purple."

As soon as the words fell, the people around them suddenly gasped, and were shocked by Li Lianying's generosity, this shot is more than 500,000 taels, and the three of them are 1.5 million taels, which is still a big head, and the others have not been counted.

The three of them no longer have that haze color, and they no longer have the intention of leaving. This money calmed the anger in their chests, and the three governors immediately laughed, and the overseer said even more complimentally: "When I was in the customs department before, I really didn't find out that Lian Ying still has the mind to do business, and he really buried talents." Well, now, it's much better than being an official! ”

This compliment suddenly made Li Lianying's heart swell, as if she had thought of something, tilted her head slightly, and glanced at Yang Lin defiantly, full of pride and show-off, very embarrassed. (To be continued.) )
