Chapter 36 The Gambling King of the Republic of China (Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Chen Qiang is well aware of what the underground party means in this era.
At this moment, Chen Qiang was a little masterless, and even his steps became flustered.
"Calm down, I want to be calm, I must be calm!" Chen Qiang tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart, and then turned his head to look behind him.
In the distance, about a dozen people chased after them, all dressed in short clothes, holding sticks, machetes, axes, shovels, and other objects in their hands.
Seeing these pursuers, Chen Qiang's heart settled down.
"These people are definitely not military police or spies, if they are military police or spies, they must have guns, not wooden sticks and machetes to chase people. If I'm not mistaken, the pursuers should be members of the Green Gang, and being able to cut people so blatantly in the concession is what the Green Gang can do. ”
Thinking of this, Chen Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, the Qing Gang is not monolithic, it is normal for members of the gang to have conflicts with each other, and the people who are chased and cut by the Qing Gang are also gang members nine times out of ten.
"It's me who thinks too much, the comrades of the underground party have great powers, and there must be several sets of evacuation plans wherever they go, how can they rely on a coachman to evade pursuit." Chen Qiang thought to himself.
Although the injured person in the car was not an underground party, in order to avoid being caught up by the people behind, Chen Qiang still took a step forward and ran forward desperately.
When it comes to running, the gang brothers are definitely not the opponents of professional drivers, even if Chen Qiang pulls a car, the gang brothers can't catch up.
What's more, if Chen Qiang can't run away, he will definitely be beaten, and even the car will be smashed.
In contrast, those gang brothers who chased after them just ate a mouthful of food, and they couldn't chase people half to death, so naturally they wouldn't give up their lives to chase them.
After running for a while, the pursuers behind found that they couldn't catch up at all, so they stopped chasing, and Chen Qiang's speed slowed down.
At this time, the man in the car said: "Go straight ahead, turn left after two intersections, and then go forward one more intersection, there is a clinic on the left side of the road, I know the doctor of that clinic, and he sent me there." ”
"Okay." Chen Qiang did as the man instructed him to send him to the front of the clinic.
The man got out of the car and said again: "Little brother, my money has just been robbed by that gang, so I don't have the car money to pay you now." ”
"Forget it, I won't charge the car money, you can go in and deal with the wound quickly, don't get infected." Chen Qiang said.
For gang members, Chen Qiang thinks it's better to be less polluted, so as not to get into trouble for himself, this trip is considered to be charity, and no money is needed.
Chen Qiang finished speaking, and planned to leave, but was stopped by the injured man.
I only heard the man speak: "Little brother, you saved my life today, and I, Wu Youyuan, am not a person who does not repay kindness, so let's do it, if you come to Taichang Company in the afternoon after tomorrow, I will give you a hundred oceans, which can be regarded as my repayment for saving your life!" ”
"Taichang? This man is still the owner of a company! Wu Youyuan, I seem to have heard this name somewhere, and I can't remember it for a while. Could it really be some business tycoon in Shanghai? A hundred oceans, this breath is really big enough, I haven't seen so much money since I crossed over! Chen Qiang pondered blindly while pulling the car away.
……
One hundred oceans is a great temptation for Chen Qiang.
Now Chen Qiang has to pay 5 yuan of rent every month, plus he has to supplement nutrition on weekdays, chicken, fish, meat and eggs are indispensable, so Chen Qiang has to spend almost 20 yuan a month.
One hundred oceans is enough for Chen Qiang to live for five months.
And now that Chen Qiang has just finished renting the house, he has paid three rents, and Chen Qiang's family has been hollowed out, and he has no money in his hand and is very empty, and Chen Qiang is very eager for money at this time.
So Chen Qiang decided to go to the Taichang company the day after tomorrow to have a look, maybe this person named Wu Youyuan is really a big boss and will give himself a hundred oceans!
……
People come and go in front of Taichang Company, so it is not lively.
When he walked into the door of Taichang Company, Chen Qiang knew that this was not a company at all, but a casino!
Taichang Company is the largest casino in old Shanghai, and the boss behind it is Boss Du, one of the three tycoons in Shanghai.
In the old Shanghai of this era, there were all kinds of pornography, gambling and drugs, and they were all made public. Chen Qiang often passes by similar places on weekdays, but it was the first time he entered the casino.
There are all kinds of people here, some in suits, some in long shirts, some in short clothes, even if you dress like a beggar, as long as you can take out the money to buy chips, you will not be turned away.
"Why did this Wu Youyuan bring me to the casino? This guy can't open a casino, right? I don't think he has the ability to open such a big casino in Shanghai! "Chen Qiang is not a gambler, nor is he a gang member, so I don't know the boss behind the scenes.
Chen Qiang pondered as he wandered around the casino. This kind of person who only watches and does not gamble quickly attracted the attention of the horse boy in the casino.
A gang disciple who was watching the scene came over, stopped in front of Chen Qiang, and said, "You little deflated three have been wandering around the field, I have been observing you for a long time, and said, what are you here for?" ”
"I came to find someone, and a man named Wu Youyuan asked me to come to him." Chen Qiang said.
"Are you looking for Mr. Wu?" The other party looked at Chen Qiang vigilantly, and then asked, "What are you looking for him?" ”
"I'm a coachman, and Mr. Wu said he wanted to use the car." Chen Qiang lied.
The identity of the coachman has become a good cover at this time, the guest called a car to pick him up in advance, and the coachman did not wait for the guest when the time came, and came in person to find the guest, which is a matter of course. Just like the current online car-hailing, when the car arrives and the person does not arrive, the driver is in a hurry, and he will call the guest to urge him.
Ma Zai, who was watching the scene, did not suspect Chen Qiang, he directly pointed to the second floor: "Mr. Wu is on it, you can go find him yourself." ”
Chen Qiang thanked him and went up to the second floor.
In front of a gaming table on the second floor, Chen Qiang saw Wu Youyuan. He should have recovered a lot from his injuries, his face was flushed, and he was pushing pai gow at the table.
"I said, it's impossible for this Wu Youyuan to open such a big casino, it turns out that he is a gambler. Listening to the tone of the spectators, he is called 'Mr. Wu', and it seems that he is still a frequent visitor here. When Chen Qiang thought of this, his expression suddenly tightened, because he had already remembered who this Wu Youyuan was.
"Wu Youyuan, no wonder I think I have heard his name, it turned out to be him, the legendary gambling king of the Republic of China Wu Youyuan!"
……
In his previous life, when Chen Qiang was a professor at the University of Physical Education, a colleague of his once wrote a book about the history of the development of Chinese chess and cards, and that colleague once came to Chen Qiang with the manuscript to ask for advice, and it was in that manuscript that Chen Qiang saw Wu Youyuan's name.
The development of chess and card sports is inseparable from gambling, in foreign countries, there are more people playing Texas Hold'em than playing chess, and in China, there are more people playing mahjong than playing Chinese chess.
In terms of entertainment, Texas Hold'em is not necessarily stronger than chess, and mahjong and Chinese chess are also Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong, and it is difficult to distinguish between them.
But Texas Hold'em and Mahjong are both available for betting. This is something that chess can't do.
If Happy Fight Landlord and Happy Mahjong don't have the setting of Happy Beans, there will probably not be so many players.
Therefore, in the previous life, Chen Qiang saw the manuscript, when introducing the Republic of China chess and cards, there was a chapter mentioning the Republic of China gambling king Wu Youyuan.
Wu Youyuan is a native of Shandong, and he was originally a professional gambler, relying on his unique skills to mingle in various casinos.
When the warlord Zhang Zongchang occupied Shandong, he heard that there was such a person as Wu Youyuan, so he made Wu Youyuan his mahjong partner. Zhang Zongchang likes to play mahjong very much, but his card skills are average, so he let Wu Youyuan be responsible for feeding himself cards.
Wu Youyuan gambled and lost smartly, Zhang Zongchang wanted to eat what cards, what cards he wanted to touch, Wu Youyuan could play out, and Wu Youyuan also had the ability to steal the dragon and turn the phoenix, and changed the hole cards, so that Zhang Zongchang had a self-touching addiction.
So Zhang Zongchang gave Wu Youyuan the position of director of the Qingdao Salt Bureau, which is a complete fat difference, and there is a lot of oil and water.
After the fall of Zhang Zongchang, Wu Youyuan came to Shanghai, and finally he took refuge in Boss Lu, one of the "three tycoons" in Shanghai.
It is said that at that time, Boss Lu personally appeared and gambled with Wu Youyuan in order to take the postgraduate examination for Wu Youyuan's ability, and as a result, he lost 100,000 oceans in half a day. Boss Lu is not a person who is short of 100,000 yuan, for him, being able to take a gambling king like Wu Youyuan for his own use is much more important than 100,000 yuan.
……
Chen Qiang had insight into Wu Youyuan's identity, and also knew that Wu Youyuan's reward for giving him a hundred oceans was not a big deal. With Wu Youyuan's bet, it is not easy to win 100 oceans.
"Wu Youyuan is gambling at the poker table, and it seems that he hasn't relied on Boss Lu yet." Chen Qiang was pondering, Wu Youyuan had already finished a game of gambling, he put his chips together, wanted to change the table, and turned his head to see Chen Qiang.
"Little brother, you're here! Let's go out. Wu Youyuan walked over with a smile, pulled Chen Qiang and walked towards the door.
Wu Youyuan pulled Chen Qiang out of the gate, came to a secluded corner around the corner, and took out a chip.
"This is a chip of 100 oceans, you can go to it at any time to exchange for 100 oceans! Little brother, if you take this, I will repay you for saving your life. Wu Youyuan couldn't help but say, and forced the chips into Chen Qiang's hands.
At this moment, a person quietly came to the two of them.
I only heard the man speak: "Wu Youyuan, I have caught you!" I've seen through the tricks you did in the casino! ”
