Chapter 826: Goodbye Old Man
"Yes, after twenty years of separation, I met the old man again, but a lot happened before that!"
In the early 50s of the last century, Brother Pao would gradually enter history, and many people either went incognito, or joined the Green Gang, or transferred to Hongmen. Because of the loss of leadership, the system was in chaos, and the upper eight generals fled one after another, but the lower eight generals emerged in endlessly, almost to the point where everyone shouted and beat them.
It can be seen from Bechon's expression when he narrated that it was a confusing historical period, although the motherland was still there, but there was a change of regime, some people called it "the old look for a new look", and some people saw it as "the mountains and rivers are still there, and the old people are no longer returned". In fact, not only Pei Qiong, but many people have this kind of doubt in their hearts, just after the war, all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, but the confrontation between compatriots has not stagnated at all, and it is about to break out, and the sound of artillery fire can often be heard on both sides of the strait.
Under the impact of massive migration, a large number of people have poured into the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and even to other countries in Southeast Asia, and everyone has a face full of fear, confusion, and longing and expectation for the future life. The upper class continues to be drunk and dreaming of death, but the lower class of toiling people are hungry and cold, on the one hand, the lights are bright, on the other hand, there is a sigh to be fed, many people can't help but give up their faith and embark on a road of no return.
In this context, Bei Qiong, who had just entered his first year, suddenly received a message that he was going to a secret manor to meet several important guests.
"After a lapse of twenty years, I met the old man again, when he was already over eighty years old, and he was a hero!" Bei Qiong sighed, "Those are also the few days I get along with him, and in total, it's better to spend a long time with him!" The old man's hearing and eyesight are much worse, we basically just drink tea, recalling the past twenty years ago, I can see that he has always been thinking about me and helping me treat me as a grandson, and it was then that I knew that the 'Joan' in my name was still suggested by him! ”
"Is there anything else in this?" Fu Wei asked.
"I was born in Yanjing, which is the land of the emperor, the king, the king's Kyoto. In addition, when the old man mentioned this name, he also had some expectations for me! "Then the old man introduced me to four people and arranged a task!" ”
"Four people? The 60s? Long Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile: "Old man, where is this task?" It won't be in Macau! ”
Beqiong smiled but didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
"What do you mean?" Zheng Bu asked puzzled.
"The 60s? Could it be the gambling card battle? Xia Xue asked in surprise.
"Wait, no!" Lai Yazi shouted, "You can't say that it's a double gambling king dispute!" ”
"Hey, you know!" Long Ling'er asked in surprise, "I don't see it, you know quite a lot!" ”
"Hey, hey!" Lai Yazi scratched her head embarrassedly, "When I was in middle school, I watched Chow Yun-fat's "God of Gamblers", and I also watched a lot of movies played by Stephen Chow, such as "The Saint of Gambling" and "The King of a Thousand Kings", and I was more curious about reading, so I bought a few biographies of the God of Gamblers in Hong Kong and Macau, and read these stories! ”
"What do you say?" Jiang Bixue was confused and a little dissatisfied.
"To put it simply, Macau's previous gambling industry was controlled by Fu and Gao, and in 1961, Macau opened up gambling rights and issued new licenses! Gambling king Ye Han failed to win medals twice before, and made a comeback, united with the Huo family, the He family and others to form a new company, and successfully bid for the franchise! Lai Yazi said, "But old man, I read those books are the biography of Ye and He Gambling King, when bidding for gambling cards, it was based on quotations, what does this have to do with Qianmen?" ”
"After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were people who discussed the issue of the return of the country, but at that time, the country had just been established, and there were even quarrels about the return of the system, there were ruins everywhere, and various reforms had just begun, and later some mistakes were made because of impatience! However, the reunification of the motherland is the common aspiration of every Chinese son, and a number of plans have been formulated for this purpose. Bei Qiong said, "It's simple to say martial arts, that is, to fight, when we don't have that strength, so Wen is put on the agenda, and we need to support some of our own entrepreneurs and financial groups!" ”
This has been said very clearly, the so-called support of their own entrepreneurs, is to compete for some high-profit areas, with the consortium to have the right to speak, in order to relieve and guide the development of domestic industries.
"Money is indispensable if you want to bid on a gambling card, but it's not the only thing that decides! Macau's gambling industry has developed for hundreds of years, and everyone knows how fertile the oil and water here are, and it is a big deal to just throw money at it, and even those oligarchs and predators can't compete with it! ”
"And what did you do then?" Crayfish asked.
"It looks profound, but the principle is actually very simple, haha, this kid Muyuan has used it many times, and he is very sophisticated!"
"Division...... Master? ”
"To sum up, it is even horizontal and vertical, attacking the heart for the top, and attacking the city for the bottom!" "Ceding some commercial turf to others and making them give up the competition and join forces with some of these families," Bechon explained. At the same time, thousands of people have gone out to set up bureaus frequently, taking advantage of the tense military situation on both sides of the strait and the three places to circulate all kinds of news, creating an illusion that the edifice is about to decline, and in this way, the will of those foreigners has been greatly weakened, and although they still participate in the bidding, the bid is extremely low, giving us an opportunity to take advantage of! ”
These words are an understatement, but those present can guess that it is an extremely chaotic competition, under the confrontation between China and the West, countless countries have raised flags to fight for independence, and thousands of Chinese people have made full use of this atmosphere to achieve their goals. In fact, not only half a century ago, even today, the shadow of Qianmen can be seen in many countries, many consortia, and many regions.
"I can also tell you that there are many well-known gambling kings and gambling saints who are also from thousands of gates, or they are set up by thousands of gates!" "It is precisely for this reason that I advise you to believe in those myths and legends, that there is no winner in gambling for a long time, and that no gambling king can always win undefeated!" If there is, there is only one category! ”
"Which kind?"
"A person who only runs a casino, but never enters the gambling game, although such a person cannot win forever, can remain undefeated!"
"And then?"
"After the gambling cards are in hand, many thousands of tricks, gambling masters have come to smash the field, some of these people want to take advantage of the casino has just been established, unstable time to salvage a sum, some are sent by the enemy, want to make the casino yellow! The gambling master is in the light, the master of thousands of tricks is in the dark, the former and the dealer compete with the dealer, but the latter is specifically against the high rollers, set up a game to calculate them! Bai Qiong said, "It was at this time that I met my enemy, he is also a master of a thousand doors, this person's surname is Tu, called Tu Jue, because Jue is a decoration under the scabbard, so people give a nickname, called 'Dragon Slayer Knife'!" ”
"Tu Jue, Dragon Slayer Knife?" Lai Yazi thought about it and shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, and I haven't written it in the book!" ”
"It's normal that I haven't heard of it, there are many hermits in Qianmen, only in the secret layout, this Tu Jue is one of them, he has stayed in Europe and the United States and other places for a long time, many gambling kings are his disciples, and the casino boss has an indescribable relationship with him!" "He led the whole challenge this time, and almost more than half of the gambling masters were instigated by him!" A month after the opening of the casino, these people won three days and three nights in a row, and for a while, both at home and abroad used this place as an ATM and rushed to come, and the scene was even more lively than understanding the gambling king competition! ”
"And then?" This story is so exciting and fascinating, "Aren't you also masters of a thousand arts?" Didn't you block it? ”
Bejon's two blind eyes blinked and laughed.
