Chapter 12: The King of Europe Appears
The rooster cries and the sun is born.
The sunlight slowly sprinkled down, with its unique warmth, slowly melted the coldness and dead silence that enveloped the city, and restored the usual noise and popularity of this huge city.
The doors of the shops that stood at both ends of the street were pushed open by the yawning staff, and a thunderous sound was born.
The casino belonging to the Lu family also opened its doors at this time to welcome gamblers to enter.
However, generally speaking, a gambling and entertainment venue such as a casino will not have any customers during the period of time when it has just opened.
After all, a casino is not a breakfast bar, not a place for office workers who wake up early and stay up late.
The people who want to go into the casino to play are some people who are ready to kill all sides, whether they want to make a fortune or pass the time, they will definitely take care of their spirits before they come.
Therefore, during this time when no one is around, the casino staff must do a good job of cleaning, checking equipment, preparing chips, etc., for the use of customers who come one after another.
But......
It's a strange day, the casino has only been open for a few minutes before welcoming its first guest.
A dusty male guest in a black suit.
Although this guest came abruptly, the casino also has the rules of the casino - the person who comes is the guest, how can it be lazy?
The lobby manager, who was in charge of managing the casino, quickly reacted, buried the surprise in his heart, and hurried to meet it.
He faced the guest, his round face full of signature smiles, "Distinguished guest, are you coming to play this morning?" ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
The guest frowned and said impatiently, "Why don't I play in?" Come here for breakfast? ”
"Hehe, don't be angry, guest."
The lobby manager sneered, "It's just that we've just opened here, and there are a lot of machines...... For example, slot machines, fish netting machines, etc., our staff has not checked them, I'm afraid ...... I can't play it for the time being. ”
"Why don't you come back later?"
"Really?"
Hearing this, the guests looked left and right, and sure enough, they found that the staff of the casino were doing the work of checking the equipment, and they were afraid that in a short period of time, the machines and equipment that had been operated through the program would not be usable.
The guest looked bitter and said, "But, since I've all come in, I can't just leave before I play, right?" Such...... How bad it is! ”
Suddenly, the guest seemed to have a flash of inspiration, thought of something to do both, clapped his hands and shouted, "By the way, has the dealer in your casino returned?" ”
The lobby manager said truthfully: "I've come back." ”
"Then call him out and let him play a few dice with Uncle and me first!" The guest walked over to the table and pulled out a bulging leather wallet from his coat pocket.
With a pinch of his fingers, the guest took out a bank stored value card made of diamonds from his cowhide wallet, and threw the card on the gambling table at will, laughing and saying: "I have a lot of money!" ”
"Come on! Help me get all the money in this card for chips! Today, uncle, I want to be happy here! ”
"This ......"
The casino manager glanced at the diamond card on the table, and the experienced man could see that this diamond was a stored value card issued by a foreign bank, and a minimum deposit of 50 million was required to get one.
That is to say, there are at least 50 million in this card.
The casino manager couldn't help but swallow a large mouthful of saliva, and then ...... The smile on his face became even brighter.
But in this case, the casino manager did not take the diamond card, let alone exchange the money in the diamond card for chips as instructed by the guest, but bowed down again and asked: "Distinguished guest, I don't know your surname?" ”
The guest frowned and said, "Your surname?" Why are you asking? ”
"Because our boss has a rule that no guest with the surname Long can gamble in this casino, so ......"
As he spoke, the casino manager showed a look of great pity, rubbed his hands, and said, "If you are a guest surnamed Long, even if you have money, you can't play here." ”
"What a nuisance!"
Hearing this, the guest's brows furrowed, as if he was already a little displeased. But soon, he suppressed this displeasure, waved his hand, and said, "However, I can tell you clearly, my surname is Fang, not Long." ”
The casino manager smiled undiminishedly, bowed down and asked, "So, dear guest, can you let me verify it first?" ”
Hearing this, the guest sighed, then pulled a stool and sat down.
After resting his elbow on the gambling table and propping up his head, the guest looked at the casino manager and said helplessly: "I really don't understand, why is it so troublesome to gamble well?" ”
"Hey...... Forget it, forget it, if you want to check it, you can check it, but it must be fast! ”
"My hands are itching!"
"Okay, distinguished guest, please wait a moment."
The lobby manager turned and walked into the inner hall and disappeared for a few moments.
When the manager reappeared, he was followed by a young student who was about eighteen or nineteen years old.
The manager walked up to the guest, bowed down and said, "Mr. Fang, your identity information has been verified. Hope you enjoyed your day! ”
After that, the manager Huo Ran turned around and said to the little student beside him with a smile: "Xiaolin, Mr. Fang is one of the most distinguished guests in our casino, you can't slack off." ”
"Manager, I see."
Xiao Sheng, known as "Xiao Lin", nodded, then walked to the other side of the table, and gently rested his right hand on the cold dice cup, "I don't know, what does Mr. Fang want to play?" ”
"I've been waiting for so long, and I'm almost sleepy, so why don't you start with something simple, direct, and exciting...... Let's bet on the size. The guest surnamed Fang said casually.
The dealer Xiao Lin looked at the casino manager, only to see the casino manager nodded, then walked to the table, carefully took the diamond card placed on the table, and said to the guest surnamed the other party: "Then, distinguished Mr. Fang, I will help you exchange for chips." ”
"Before I come back, Mr. Fang, you can press down at will, deduct if you lose, and pay if you win."
With that, the casino manager stopped and walked away quickly.
After the manager left, the dealer Kobayashi also began to use all his skills, shaking the dice cup in his hand, and the sound of crackling and banging continued to come out of the cup, as if playing an intense symphony.
However, such a fierce sound disappeared with the ruthless fall of the dice cup when the next moment came.
In this quiet atmosphere, the voice of the dealer Xiaolin suddenly came: "Mr. Fang, please place a bet." ”
"It's a good shake, it's very sophisticated."
The guest surnamed Fang closed his eyes, as if he was reminiscing about the dice symphony that the dealer had just played. After a while, his eyes opened, and the guest pressed his hands on the gambling table, and said word by word: "Fifty million, small pressure." ”
As he rushed back with a pile of green chips, the casino manager's round face was beaming.
Seeing him like this, it was not difficult for the staff present to guess that the manager must have sent the young dealer named Xiaolin to trick people again.
In this casino, everyone knows that Kobayashi is not a professional dealer who has been hired back, but a skilled veteran trained by the manager.
As an old man, this Xiaolin not only has superb skills in shaking dice, and can shake the points he wants at will, but also deliberately studied psychology for a few years and learned the ability to speculate on the psychology of others.
Therefore, he can often guess the direction of the bettor's bet through some subtle movements before rolling the dice, or deliberately make some strange actions to influence the bettor's decision and guide the bettor to bet the chip in the wrong direction.
In this way, few gamblers can get the advantage in Kobayashi's hands, and lose the money that they won back with great difficulty on the gambling table again.
This is an unethical practice.
However, as long as he covered up his conscience a little and cooperated with the manager's performance, he got the crazy rise in the casino's profits and the huge commission distributed by the Lu family.
In that case, who will expose it. Anyway, it's not your own or your relatives' money that you lose, so it's naturally your business.
"Honorable Mr. Fang, this is an equal amount of chips in exchange for the 50 million balance in your card." As he spoke, the casino manager had already crossed the crowd and walked to the side of the guest surnamed Fang.
He put the mountain of chips on the gambling table and said with a smile: "In order to thank you for your support of our casino, I have helped you upgrade to a VIP customer of our casino, and you can enjoy an interest-free loan of 100 million yuan in our casino!" ”
"Haha, huh? Thank you so much! ”
The guest surnamed Fang stretched out his arms, grabbed all the chips in front of him, sniffed vigorously, and sighed: "These chips exude the smell of fragrant money!" It's so addictive! ”
"But ......"
The guest surnamed Fang suddenly looked at the casino manager and put on a strange smile, "The number of these chips ...... It's not enough! Manager, please go get some more. ”
"Venerable Mr. Fang, what are you talking about?" The manager frowned, and said puzzledly: "The pile of chips I took over is already equal to the 50 million in your card." ”
"If you want more chips, you're going to have to pay more."
"After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch."
"You say, right?"
Hearing this, the guest was obviously stunned, but then, he laughed, "Manager, I naturally know that I only changed 50 million chips." But ah......"
The guest stretched out his hand, pointed to the young dealer standing on the other side of the table, and said with an innocent face: "I have just won the bet." ”
"Moreover, before you go to change chips, didn't you say that if you lose, you will be deducted, and if you win, you will pay."
"Oh, I see."
The manager suddenly realized that he had misunderstood, so after snorting haha, he faced the dealer Xiao Lin and scolded angrily: "Xiao Lin, since Mr. Fang won the bet, you should give him the chips he deserves!" ”
"Could it be that you don't admit defeat and want to repay your debts?"
"Yes...... But, manager! The dealer's face turned pale with a "swish", and he said in a trembling voice: "I'm here...... There aren't that many chips! ”
