Liu Ting's family can only be regarded as poor in Monaco, at least in terms of the size of the house, it is only a little more than 100 square meters.

Liu Ting's home is in the old town of Monaco, which is the earliest prosperous area of Monaco, but now the most prosperous place in Monaco is in the Monte Carlo district a little north, where there are a series of luxury places such as the world-famous Monte Carlo Grand Casino, Monte Carlo Opera House, Monte Carlo Ocean Thermal Baths, etc., and it is also a good place to enjoy luxury. At the same time, Monte Carlo also has the Formula 1 Monte Carlo circuit, during the Formula 1 race in May every year, Monte Carlo will become quite crowded, the hotel is full, and even the nearby French hotels will follow the price soaring, Monte Carlo house can watch the Formula 1 car from the roof, so the house price there is the most expensive in Monaco. There are also tennis tournaments, the Monte Carlo Masters, not to mention anything.

Monaco's Old Town is not as close as Monte Carlo, but it has its own character, being the first Monaco settlement, the Royal Palace of Monaco, where today's Monegasque royal dignitaries live, and the famous Monaco Football Club and its home stadium, the Stade Louis II.

Liu Ting also grew up here, and he is also a Monaco fan, so he will tell his agent that he can go back to Monaco to play football if he can, and now Liu Ting fully believes in his ability, and after half a year of sandbag training, he will definitely be able to make great progress. As the saying goes: wealth does not return to the hometown, such as brocade clothes at night.

Liu Ting returned to his home with a familiar car, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw a familiar figure.

"Grandpa Fu, why are you here?" In front of Liu Ting was an old man with gray hair, about sixty years old, who looked very energetic. This old man is Liu Ting's legal guardian, and after Liu Ting's parents died, Liu Fu became Liu Ting's guardian.

"Isn't it your 18th birthday soon, your grandfather doesn't worry about you alone, and he is busy with the company's affairs, so let me come over to take care of you." Liu Fu looked at Liu Ting with a kind face and said.

After Liu Ting's parents died, there was only one grandfather in the world. When the family immigrated to Monaco, the old man was reluctant to leave his hometown and stayed in Hong Kong, Liu Fu has been living in Liu's family since he was a child, and it is said that he had a lifelong friendship with Liu Ting's grandfather, watching Liu Ting's father and Liu Ting grow up, and has always regarded Liu Ting as his own grandson.

"Grandpa is okay?" Liu Ting asked.

"It's okay, it's just that the company is very busy, so I don't have time to come to see you."

The next day, Liu Ting ate a bowl of longevity noodles cooked for him by Liu Fu himself in the morning.

Idle, Liu Ting went out for a walk, and soon turned to the door of the Monaco club, but the winter break of Ligue 1 is coming soon, and the Monaco team went to the away game.

Monaco FC is the only football club in Monaco, but Monaco is too small to have its own league, and it plays in Ligue 1, which is also considered a Ligue 1 powerhouse. In the 03/04 season, Monaco reached the Champions League final under the leadership of Didier Deschamps, but it could only achieve Mourinho's prestige, and Monaco could only end in disgrace, when the Prince of Monaco, who went to watch the final in person, quietly withdrew when he was 3-0 down to Porto at half-time.

Liu Ting also wanted to join the Monaco youth academy at the beginning, but after thinking about it, he still went to Barcelona, and the name of La Masia's youth training is known all over the world.

At the entrance of the Louis II stadium in Monaco, Liu Ting did not enter. At present, the Stade Louis II is also well-known as the venue for the annual UEFA Super Cup, and the Champions League draw after the UEFA Super Cup every year will bring fans from all over the world to Monaco.

After a short walk around the Stade Louis II, Liu Ting went to Monte Carlo, which was still bustling with people, even though it was almost Christmas. In Europe and the United States, Christmas is a more important holiday than the Spring Festival of the Chinese.

Walking on the streets of Monte Carlo, the roadside is full of luxury fashion brand stores, as well as various casinos, entertainment and leisure venues, and the road is full of Aston Martin, Lamborghini and so on.

Liu Ting, who was bored, finally entered a casino, maybe Liu Ting was mature, and the security guard at the door of the casino directly let him in.

That is, in a city like Monaco, which is dominated by tourism and gambling, if the rest of France is all closed for Christmas, there is still a place for entertainment.

The casino is small, not quite as luxurious as the Casino de Monte-Carlo, but the décor inside is quite elaborate and makes people feel good.

Liu Ting changed 500 euros to play, sat down on a random slot machine, bet on coins, and lost money. Liu Ting was not very lucky today, losing money in a row. As someone who has lived in Monaco for several years, Liu Ting knows that in the casino, it is often these seemingly inconspicuous slot opportunities that bring a lot of income to the casino, and most even reach 70% of the annual income from slot machines.

Because many of the people who go to play on the gambling table are professional gamblers or thousands, these people are often very good at counting cards, it is not easy to win their money, and it is more difficult to win a large number of people, and the people who lose a lot of money at the gambling table are often bad gamblers or nouveau riche who come to lose money and win face, and it is difficult for this kind of person to meet one for several days. Many people enter the casino often like Liu Ting, take a few hundred or thousands of euros to play casually, and the slot machine is the most simple and clear rules are easy to understand and easy to use, many people will go to play slot machines, such people will not care if they lose out, because they want to play at the beginning.

About 80% of first-time casino players play slots, and it's really easy to understand. There are also slot machines that are not just about winning and not losing, there are always lucky people who win money on slot machines, which will attract others to play in the past.

A person's hundreds of thousands of euros are insignificant compared to the money on the gambling table, but there are countless people with this kind of playing mentality, and there are basically people in front of the slot machine at any time to put coins there, and the accumulation has reached a large part of the casino's money.

In less than an hour, Liu Ting lost all his 500 euros.

When he got up, Liu Ting heard someone next to him scolding: "Merde!! ”

Merde is the national scolding in French, equivalent to TMD in Chinese or shxt in English, if you meet a Frenchman for the first time, with merde in your mouth, then at least the other party will think that your French is very good, of course, the premise is that you can't scold the other party, otherwise he may let you see that his fists are very good.

Liu Ting looked in the direction of the voice, it was a blonde beauty with a good figure, but it was obvious that she had lost money just now.

Liu Ting took a closer look at the beauty and walked over. Liu Ting recognized the other party, it should be Léa Seydoux, the future 007 Bond girl, a famous French actress, and a white rich beauty, several elders in her family seem to be the bosses and executives of a big French film company, but now she is not so famous, and she has not yet become a new generation of French goddesses after Sophie Marceau.

Seydoux played a slot machine with 10 euros in coins, and he was really a rich second generation. Liu Ting just now only played the kind of 5 euros coined once.

Liu Ting stood next to him, watching Seydoux keep betting, losing more and winning less, the slot machine was like this. Soon she lost hundreds of euros, and Liu Ting saw that the other party seemed to only have 50 euros in his hand, so he stopped her.

"Hi, Léa?" Liu Ting asked tentatively, looking a bit similar, but I don't know if it's Léa Seydoux.

The other party looked up and glanced at Liu Ting strangely, as if asking again how do you know me?

Liu Ting thought that he had to find a topic to talk about: "Uh, I think you have lost thousands of euros here, right?" Can you try another one? Liu Ting found an excuse to talk to her, and talked to her familiarly.

Seydoux looked at Liu Ting's face, the reason why he was handsome, thought that Liu Ting was a male model or actor who happened to know her, in her impression, there was indeed no such star in France, and Italy didn't seem to have it, but looking at his face and hair color, it was closer to Italian, probably Italian.

Liu Ting saw that she didn't speak, and explained: "If you lose a lot on one machine in a row, the person who loses money is gone, and the others can win if they go to that machine again." ”

This is the legendary premise of slot machines, where a machine that wins a large sum of money in a row will make the next person who comes to play win a small sum to attract customers to play. Although this statement has never been recognized, it is true that when playing, the machine that has just lost money is more likely to win, which is a consensus among people who often come to play. But it's not very accurate, Liu Ting didn't go out of his way to look for that kind of machine when he came in, he came to play casually.

"Really?" Léa Seydoux looked at Liu Ting with an innocent expression.

"If you don't believe me, we can try, you just have some money left." Someone happened to lose money and left, losing about 3,000 euros, Liu Ting pulled Seydoux over to try.

Maybe luck was it today, Léa Seydoux really won money in a row on this machine, and in a moment he won about 500 euros.

Seeing that the other party was still interested and wanted to continue playing, Liu Ting hurriedly stopped her, the machine won't let you win all the time.

"Hey Léa, how about you get here today after winning these? Shall we go out and have a drink? ”

Facing Liu Ting's invitation, Seydoux looked up at him strangely, as if he wanted to determine what Liu Ting meant, and looked at him for a while, Liu Ting was a little embarrassed, he did see a beautiful woman with an itch in his heart, and came to talk.
