Chapter 179: Blood
Chapter 179 Blood Yin Hang has learned to have foresight from his own difficult life. This is one of the reasons for his success. He saw Alfred from a small age as a big one. He's going to make this future man his ally. Or at least he wanted a son to be close to him, and he could fully trust him. Of course, it would be great if Alfred's two younger brothers, Fixio and Hammer, were equally good!
So he set out to train Alfred, Fixio and Hammer, teach them the ropes of gambling, take them to dinner with San Bernardino, Vincent, the owner of the Grand Hotel, and let them listen to the stories of the casino's various methods. Vincent always begins by saying, "Every night, hundreds of thousands of people can't sleep, trying to figure out how to mess with ghosts in my casino. ”
Yin Hang took the three brothers to hunt and taught them to skin and disembowel wild animals, so that they could become familiar with the smell of blood, and watch the blood stain their hands red. He sent his brothers to boxing lessons so that they could endure hardship, teaching them how to use and protect their guns, but he refused to teach them anything extra, which was something they had to learn for themselves.
The Eastwood family has a large hunting lodge in the mountains of Nevada, which Ilsa uses for his family's vacation. Yin Hang took his children out hunting, while his wife Mona stayed in a warm house.
When hunting, Alfred can easily kill wolves, deer, and even a few mountain lions and bears, which shows that he is very capable and has a good understanding of guns, while Yin Hang's second son Fixio is always cautious with his gun and always calm when in danger, and as for the younger son, Hammer, he never flinched when opening his bloody, dirty entrails. Whether it was dissecting his legs and head, or cleaning his internal organs, he never felt sick.
But the sons refused to fish, because they couldn't bear to stick a hard iron hook into the soft belly of the earthworm. This made Yin Hang feel ridiculous.
Yin Hang threw himself on his sons. He teaches his children to master basic rules of conduct. Don't be angry when you are offended, don't tell others about yourself, and earn the respect of others by your actions, not by words. Respect your own loved ones. Gambling is a pastime, not a means of making a living. Love your father, mother, and brothers, but beware of not loving women other than your wife. A wife is the woman who bears birth to you a child. Once you have a wife and a child, you have to lay down your life to support them.
Alfred's little ones were apparently bright students, and fathers loved them. He was glad that his sons looked exactly like their mother, had the charm of hers, and were a copy of Mona, but lacking some ingenuity.
As the godfather of the family, Yin Hang dreamed that the younger generation would enter a legal society, but he could not do so for the time being, because he believed that this was not the best course of action. So Yin Hang asked them to learn from themselves. Loved ones are loved ones after all, and this is immutable. Any father wants his son to be like himself.
When Alfred was nine, Fixio was seven, and Hammer was five, his eldest brother Alfred was aggressive, and he often hit his two younger brothers in the stomach, even in front of their father.
The two younger brothers knew that they were weak, so they cleverly shouted for help. As a father, Yin Hang can solve the problem in several ways. He could order his eldest son to stop, and if Alfred wouldn't give up, he grabbed him by the collar and hung him in mid-air, as he often did. He can also order his two younger brothers to fight back. He could also grab Cross and slam him against the wall, doing that once or twice, but with a careful grip.
Once, however, perhaps because he had just eaten and felt lazy, or more likely because he was unhappy with the use of force against the two children, Mona calmly lit a cigar and said to Alfred, "For every time you beat your two brothers, I will give each of them a dollar." ”; Alfred continued to beat them, and Yin Hang rewarded his two younger brothers with one-dollar bills, which ruined Fixio and Hammer. Later, Alfred conceded defeat and stopped beating them.
Yin Hang is very generous in other ways. Mona enjoys full personal freedom, and Yin Hang is not a jealous husband. Although he never travels abroad except on business trips, he allows Mona to travel to Europe with his girlfriend because Mona is bent on visiting museums in London. Yin Hang didn't like that thing very much!
At first, Mona sometimes wondered why Yin Hang was not jealous, but over the years, she had gradually realized that in their circle, no man dared to seduce her.
Alfred is not afraid of heaven and earth, and Fixio is fierce but can be tamed. Hammer didn't have the guts of his two older brothers, but he was a bit stubborn, and once he decided to do something, no one could stop him, except, of course, his father.
As the years passed. Several children are getting better and better. Yin Hang taught the children to play poker, blackjack or gold rome card games and stud, always do some tricks and feet, win their pocket money, and finally let them prosper and return to the dynasty in victory, and fall asleep proudly. Strangely, the younger brother Hammer was much better at gambling when he was a child than the two older brothers. But later, under the influence of the food king Thornton, Hammer became more interested in opening a hotel.
Afterwards, Yin Hang would explain to them how he had deceived them. Yin Hang told Mona that this was one of the things he was educating his children. He wants to prepare them to face real life.
Yin Hang always had too much cash in his wallet, which was a puzzling situation both to his wife and to the tax collector, but the tax collector didn't want to make trouble, of course, it was just a metaphor, because Yin Hang never had to meet the tax collector in person.
The family went on vacation in the east, and when they participated in family activities, it was impossible for their sons not to feel the respect that Yin Hang received. A few of the little ones always felt that people were cautious and respectful to him, and held many long meetings in secret. It's just that except for a few parties, no one is allowed to enter there, even Mona, who is the godmother of the family.
When Alfred was seventeen years old, Yin Hang asked him to help out at Tommy's collection agency in Las Vegas, and Tommy talked about his work at the collection company and continued to teach Yin Hang's eldest son.
By this time, gambling had been legalized throughout Nevada, and almost all the big hotels in Las Vegas were hired by Tommy, who demanded unpaid tickets from his unpaying employer. Tommy tells Alfred that he almost never uses force, just a special kind of exhortation. It is a moral question to repay debts, and as your father said, everyone is responsible for their actions; But what makes Tommy feel righteous indignation is that rich people don't always live up to their obligations. Doctors, lawyers, company managers accept free services from the hotel, and then unilaterally violate the agreement. Still, they have to bargain. You run to their office and shout at the top of your voice so that their boss and co-workers can hear you. You are noisy and shouting, and you will never intimidate, calling them debtors, mad gamblers, full of vices, and unethical. They're basically going to eat this set. A few vivid examples were given.
Tommy also tells Alfred that people who run small businesses are especially difficult to deal with, and they are so stingy that they don't even spare a penny. When a clever businessman writes down a cheque and it is rejected and returned, he claims that something was wrong. It's a trick that many people love to play. I only had 8,000 yuan in my account, but I want to give you a check for 10,000 yuan.
However, Tommy whispered to Alfred, "I know the bank!" ”
So Tommy put the extra two thousand dollars in the man's account and withdrew the whole ten thousand dollars. Tommy laughs out loud when he explains these tricks to Alfred.
However, Tommy explains to Alfred that the most important part of his job is to persuade gamblers not only to pay their debts, but to keep gambling: even gamblers who have lost all their money can be useful. He had a job and made money. Therefore, you just have to postpone the gambler's debts and persuade him to continue gambling in the casinos of Ilsa even if he loses everything. When to pay off the debt after winning the money, this is fine......
To this day, Alfred loves the way the Grand Mansion is run, pampering customers and cracking down on crook artists. He has a normal ** for the showgirl. Anyway, Yin Hang can't measure his son by himself. He made up his mind to add Alfred to the core of the family. Although he is his own son, the interests of the family are above all else, and he has to make his son more powerful, and Alfred also believes in his father's words: "The most important thing in life is to make money to make a living." ”
Yin Hang asks his eldest son to help Tommy with his work at the collection company. And Tommy took him to the Grand Mansion Hotel to have dinner with Ilsa, and the two of them certainly knew what it was for.
While playing golf with the gamblers at the Grand Mansion, Ilsa also allowed Alfred to play doubles, and always let him be his opponent.
By the time Alfred was twenty-one years old, he had developed the qualities of a golfer, and he played a particular cave with a high stakes. Ilsa and his partner often win.
During this time, Don #Eastwood also arranged for his eldest son, Alfred, to attend various family social gatherings, including all the family's wedding and funeral events, and all the holidays - in any case, Alfred and he were father and son, and he had Don #Eastwood blood in his veins.
