As long as the gambling stall has the support of black and white forces, it can be operated even if you don't know a single big word. At present, there are four or five large ones in the city, and there are four or five of them. Business is still in the past, especially after a ship docks, those sailors often have drunk enough wine and dare to gamble with their whole wealth.

It's just that the gaming industry is not a gambling file, nor is it a big gambling file, it is an industry, which does not mention management things, but the gambling industry itself involves probability and other related disciplines. For example, the welfare lottery that Ding Yi is going to do now involves the formulation of odds, which is not a matter that can be decided by patting his brain. You have to control the probability of winning the lottery, and you can't get anything if you win, it's all the dealers who win, and who else will play? The winning rate is too high, there is nothing in the pool, how much can you win if you win? That's not appealing anymore.

This all requires a certain mathematical foundation to be able to do it, not to say that you can get it by knowing the stalk of the lottery.

In this era, except for Ding Yi, everyone else has this idea, and they basically can't come up with it.

Of course, there is no problem for the dealer to cheat, but it is inferior in this way, and it loses its fairness, which is not conducive to Ding's next plan. Of course, Ding Yi doesn't plan to engage in welfare lottery, if it's Huaxia or Europe, it's no problem, the wooden bones are bigger than Guangzhou Mansion, just such a big city, just doing this, naturally it can get money, and it can't achieve the goal that Ding Yi wants.

"Each ticket is one or two meters and six numbers are picked. If you hit three numbers, you can win a prize. Ding Yi smiled and explained to Saleh how the lottery was played, and then asked him. He doesn't want currency. It is to settle accounts by rice, because what he wants is food and grass for the soldiers, "Do you think it is possible?" ”

Hassan listened on the side, frowned and said: "One or two meters is someone who can afford to play, but if you can't win the lottery, everyone will inevitably suspect that this dealer is out of a thousand, in my opinion." It's not worth it. If you want to gamble, we can help you find some rich people with wooden bones, my friend. Rich people, in one night, you can earn enough rice for 1,000 catties! ”

Dante refused Hassan's kindness, and he only wanted to let Saleh and Hassan and the White Pterodactyl. At the time of the opening of the lottery. Let's have a show. Neither Hassan nor Saleh had any objection to this insignificant invitation to cooperate, and as for the White Winged Dragon, he played the role requested by Ding Yi very well, echoing the words of the two of them, and leaving with the two of them, and he began to blend in with Hassan and their circle as Ding Yi had planned. Gather their intelligence.

The lottery was made using movable type printing. Each lottery ticket six large squares, each large square is from one to sixty numbers, to buy which number, with a special apparatus, the number cut empty, and then ask the buyer to press the fingerprint at the stub and the lottery handover, the stub and the lottery ticket is the same, when the time to redeem the prize, if it is not a fingerprint, seal, the signature of the ticket seller, then the ticket has a problem. In this year, unless the person who bought the lottery ticket, the ticket seller, and Morena who holds the seal colluded to cheat, otherwise, there is no need to worry about counterfeit tickets.

When it was sold, Hassan brought a lot of rich people in the city to cheer for the first phase of the lottery, and the rich people paid 2,000 catties of rice, while other civilians with a tentative psychology came to make fun, and the total purchase amount was more than 50 catties of rice. This made Guo Jin feel very bored: "Sir, if it weren't for Hassan and them to bring people here, so many of us would be in charge of this, and it would be the cost of paper. ”

"Don't rush." Ding Yi said with a smile.

He didn't expect to make money by lottery right away, and he got this thing, more to hype up the popularity of the concession in the wooden bones. The highlight is that when the lottery is opened, Ding Yi sprinkled six Ming coins to the crowd at the entrance of the concession, and the six people who picked up the money were selected, and then they were asked to strip off their shirts and go to the box in turn to find out the number balls.

In addition to the first prize, there are more than a dozen people in the second prize, and there are even more other awards, at least forty or fifty people have won the prize, two of them are those who are rich, they don't care about the award, just have fun and win a lot. But for Ding Yi, those civilians who won the prize were his free propaganda machine.

About a month,When the seventh lottery ticket was sold,Almost every issue can receive thousands of catties of rice noodles,That is,There are tens of thousands of people to buy lottery tickets。 What's more, the people who are bound by the bones have a very good sense of dependence on the Ming people in the concession, and they feel that the Ming people will not be treacherous and slippery, and those who lose have no complaints.

So Ding Yi's casino was almost ready, and those abandoned houses were opened up and whitewashed, and all kinds of gambling equipment were placed: first roulette, then blackjack and Texas Hold'em, and of course, gambling equipment such as dice cups; As for the VIP room, that's even more essential.

As soon as the casino opened, the entire concession came alive, because everyone felt that the credit of the Ming people was very good and would not deceive people, as for gambling, as long as the ruling class did not prohibit it, there was no shortage of gamblers in any country. However, casinos also have all kinds of problems.

For example, this black boy came in and asked Ding Yi in a blunt Ming official dialect: "Sir, this man lost the ten-peaked camel, but he doesn't have a camel now, but he is clamoring to go back, should he kill him, or cut him off?" "The origin of the rainforest tribe is not an acquaintance, so if you want them to talk about any humanitarian spirit, it is really not.

"Let him write an IOU, and let him go." Ding Yi poured a full cup of tea and motioned for Emperor Jing to drink it while it was hot, but he gave such an order to the black boy.

After the young man went out, Emperor Jing was a little disapproving: "You turned this concession into a military camp, and then you trained a group of gambling thugs, so that you can go to the house to collect the debts?" ”

"How can we Ming people do such a thing?" Ding Yi smiled unchanged, put down the teacup and said solemnly.

Emperor Jing stared at him for a long time and laughed: "You lie to the ghost, don't collect the account, how can you open this gambling stall?" Then he didn't bother to say anything more, and went down to train his hygienists.

"Bring the little leader of the city guard who introduced the white wing dragon, please come over." Ding Yi said to Guo Jin.

When the small commander of the city guard came to the study, Ding Yi was not polite to him: "I heard, you need money?" ”

"Yes, noble man of the Ming Kingdom, you lent me money......" the little commander said anxiously.

Dante interrupted him: "I won't lend you money." ”

"But Commander Bai said that if I come to you, I can solve my debt problem!" The little commander was obviously also very tight, and his expression was extremely eager.

Ding nodded and taught him to sit down: "Yes, I won't lend you money, but I can help you pay off your debts slowly, and if you work for me, you will find that your debt is not a problem." Ding Yi put an IOU on the table and said to him, "And you will soon be rich." This man owes me five horses, you go and help me get it back, and I will let you pick a horse to go. Saying that, Ding Yi put down an IOU again, "This person owes me fifty catties of rice, you get it back, and I will give you ten catties." I don't care what method you use, I don't want to know, you know what I mean? ”

Of course, the little commander understood, so Ding Yi taught a few soldiers, put the IOU on his shoulder, and asked them to follow the little commander: "Don't make a move, keep smiling, yes, you just go to confirm that the concession has indeed entrusted him to collect this debt." ”

"Yes, sir." The soldier replied dryly.

Eighty percent of wealth is in the hands of 20 percent of the people, and this law seems to be used in both ancient and modern times. There are always a lot of people who don't have enough money in the city, and it's definitely not just the small commander of the city guard, more and more people take the initiative to come to the concession to seek debt collection for Ding Yi.

Even Hussein's group of mercenaries felt that this was a business opportunity, and they actually discussed using six to seventy percent of the amount on the IOU to buy the IOU from Ding Yi, and then they would own the debt. Ding handed over this matter to Guo Jin to deal with: "If you think it's not easy to handle, sell it to them." But if it's a dead account, that is, the person who owes money can't afford to pay it back, don't give it to him, don't make things that force people to ruin their families. ”

It's not that Ding Yi has a pure soul like a white lotus, but that he has a total of twenty-three people, plus twenty-five people from Mahe Island, less than fifty people, Cao Jixiang and Wen Fatzi are still lurking around Mahmoud, and there are seven or eight people infiltrating the city guards, and there are about 200 people in Black Lightning, and they are only equipped with cold weapons; More than 500 newly recruited black teenagers didn't even have clothing, let alone weapons. The real reliable thing is that the more than thirty veterans of the special brigade stayed in the huge wooden bone capital city, and when he had to do so, Ding Yi tried not to show his minions.

But Ding Yi went a little too far, under his charter, and from time to time he also sent people to distribute food to the beggars and poor people in the city, so that the Ming people in the concession seemed to be a rich and harmless group, if it weren't for Hassan, they visited the concession from time to time, but I was afraid that Hussein would be difficult for them to suppress the imminent thoughts.

And on this evening at the end of April, someone finally tried to do just that.

It was a group of gamblers who had lost money, and they got together to discuss before leaving the casino: "Ming people are the most honest, they can't even collect debts, they all hire people to collect debts, and they are afraid that they will do something?" Everyone, rush out with me! Knock down those who are in charge of the IOUs and snatch all our IOUs back! "All of a sudden, there was a cloud of responders. (To be continued......)
