Chapter 18: Genting Hills
Located on a hilltop in the northeastern suburbs of Bangkok, Genting Hills is a private estate built by a wealthy Thai Chinese man before World War II. Later, the wealthy man's family changed hands several times and is now operating as a resort integrating casinos, restaurants and accommodation with the company's assets, and the actual operators behind it are the White Tiger Gang.
Usually, guests can park at the foot of the mountain and take the cable car up the mountain, or they can drive directly up the mountain through the winding mountain road. Of course, the cable car is only ten minutes away, and the winding mountain is about an hour.
Usually guests take the cable car up the mountain, and the supplies needed by the lodge rely on trucks to take the winding road.
Although, Genting Hills is called Genting, of course, it is only at the top of the mountain. There are no towering peaks in Thailand, and if they do, they are not suitable for operation as a holiday estate.
However, the sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is a unique climate with no sunny but sunny weather, but it is also easy to form a thin mist in the rainforest outside the window. This thin fog gives people the illusion that they are in the clouds.
Qin Feng sat in front of the window, smashing the ox's eye meat into small pieces like a surgeon. This is the second plate of bull'seye meat that he is about to eliminate.
Bull's eye meat, naturally, is accompanied by red wine.
However, Qin Feng didn't know how to do a wide variety of red wines.
Qin Feng didn't want to be wronged, and he didn't want to treat his tongue badly, so Qin Feng chose the one with a moderate price.
In one morning, Qin Feng lost about 1.2 million baht, probably, since the Asian financial tsunami in 98, the Thai baht exchange rate has been low, but this is also equivalent to at least 300,000 yuan. However, this is what Zheng Zhiya told him to do.
Although this is a lot of money for the average person, it is not a guest at all for the casino.
Zheng Zhiya wanted Qin Feng to find out about Du Ankang's news, so he had to do it quietly.
Since the chosen way is the casino, the best way is to lose money, lose slowly, and export feelings with the people in the casino, and the people who lose to the casino are willing to talk to Qin Feng about things outside the gambling table.
Having said that, with Qin Feng's temperament, even if it wasn't for money, he still felt a little unhappy if he lost.
In the morning, Zheng Zhiya clearly told him that he would get good luck today, but he still told him to be careful and not to show too much.
Could it be that he is really old, and even the ability of fortune-telling and divination is withering day by day, Qin Feng is seriously gambling money, but he didn't win a handful in the morning. He couldn't help but silently reprimanded Zheng Zhiya in his heart.
Putting the last small piece of the second plate of bull's eye meat into his mouth, Qin Feng picked up the glass again and drank the last bit of red wine.
He looked at the time, and it was almost a little closer.
Generally, according to what Zheng Zhiya often told him, this time is to sleep more to nourish his spirit. But Qin Feng is in the prime of life, and he is full of sleep. After eating, I just want to move a few more hands and win back what I lost in the morning, and it's really not fun to lose all the time.
After Qin Feng finished eating, he returned to the table where he had played blackjack in the morning.
The female dealer couldn't help but smile when she saw Qin Feng coming again.
When Qin Feng first entered the casino in the morning, he saw that the dealer had just opened the table, and there were people at other tables, and he happened to feel that blackjack was still relatively familiar, so he simply gambled a few hands on this table first.
The opening few hands were lucky, Qin Feng was happy for a while, but he forgot the explanation that Zheng Zhiya gave him. Saying that he was going to lose money slowly, he gradually increased his chips.
After a while, under the persuasion of this beautiful dealer, Qin Feng lost 600,000 baht in one hour in this case.
"Sir, I see that you are not lucky today, and it is not suitable for gambling money, so it is better to stop there."
The female dealer looked at Qin Feng with a light smile, and her bright eyes looked like lotus flowers blooming in midsummer.
Only then did Qin Feng notice that the dealer was very beautiful, his face was not as flat as that of ordinary Thai and Southern Mongolian races, and there was a pair of charming and long eyes in his rather three-dimensional facial features. With such a pair of eyes, it is difficult to think of the unrestrained Songkran Festival in Thailand, but it reminds Qin Feng of the crooked moon reflected under the Suzhou Bridge.
"Well, I'll try it somewhere else, maybe I can win you by finding my way."
"You're not afraid to lose too much."
"How can you win if you are afraid of losing?"
Saying that, Qin Feng handed a chip worth 5,000 baht to the dealer as a tip.
"I'll see you later."
"Good luck."
The female dealer bowed her head slightly, as if wishing the general Wu Yun and prosperity on the expedition.
In the morning, after Qin Feng played blackjack, he went to play big turntable, stud, and slot machines. Piecemeal lost another 600,000 baht, according to the efficiency of this loss, it is estimated that it is already in the list of customers that the casino focuses on.
"Sir, I advise you not to continue."
Seeing Qin Feng, who had returned to the casino from the restaurant after lunch, the female dealer said.
"My friends often tell me that when the moon is full, there is a lack of it. I'm afraid it's time for transshipment. ”
"If you go on like this, you won't be afraid of being treated as a gambler by others."
The female dealer smiled lightly and stacked the shuffled cards in front of Qin Feng and asked him to cut the cards. There were a total of 400 cards at 21 points, and Qin Feng took the first card ace and cut in the middle.
The dealer-in-law skillfully swapped the order of the two decks of cards that had been cut.
This is a ritual action to avoid the dealer from shuffling the cards.
Casinos have always been the most exciting part of human bestiality, so there are many rituals and rituals that need to be used to imprison human bestiality in a cage.
The first is the process of placing bets, and the minimum amount of bets at this table is 5,000 baht. Qin Feng first put the 5,000 baht chips on the table.
The female dealer slid the two cards down the table in front of Qin Feng, leaving two cards for herself.
On the card, Qin Feng is a hole card ace of hearts and 7 clubs, which can be 18 points.
The female dealer has a hole card with a 6 of diamonds and a 6 on the board.
Generally speaking, more than 18 points is already considered larger, the winning rate is very large, no need to ask for cards, and at this time whether to play the opponent's hole card is what, is a psychological game.
Qin Feng didn't calculate the multiple possibilities in his mind, but based on his intuition, he estimated that he didn't increase his chips again, but he asked for another card, and the other party also asked for a card.
Qin Feng asked for a plum blossom 3.
His current hand is ace, 7, 3 for a total of 21 points.
It's already the biggest hand.
And the female dealer is going to get a 5 of spades.
Both sides unveil their hole cards, and the dealer's hole card is a 10 of hearts.
So, at this time, the dealer's hand is also 21 points.
It's 21 for both sides.
for a tie.
Qin Feng felt excited, as if he had started a battle with the female dealer at the gambling table. The draw in the first game is like a test before the master makes a move, and the fortune flows like a breeze between the two, and the heart will beat with that small playing card.
This is a kind of pleasure that is different from life and death in martial arts.
However, this is not life and death after all.
Qin Feng placed 10,000 baht in chips, and had no intention of continuing to probe and deliberately began to increase the offensive.
The female dealer smiled lightly.
"Sir, are you in a hurry?"
"There are always more lottery heads to be interesting, and there is always a guarantee that there will be a casino."
While the two were talking, a hole card and a 3 of spades had been sent to Qin Feng. Qin Feng gently lifted the hole card and glanced at it, it was a 7 of clubs. The total of the two cards is 10 points.
It's definitely going to be another hand.
On the opposite side is a 10 of hearts, plus a hole card.
Qin Feng doubled his chips by 10,000 baht, and now it is 20,000 baht on the table.
"One more card."
A square 10 landed firmly in front of Qin Feng, and now his card was 20 points.
Unless the opponent is 21 points.
Otherwise, it's a win.
The female dealer took one look at her hole cards and shrugged her shoulders.
She didn't ask for any more cards.
Then both sides show their cards.
Qin Feng's hand is 20 points.
The dealer's hole card is an 8 of diamonds, plus the 10 of hearts on the card, which is 18 points.
This game was won by Qin Feng, so he earned 20,000 baht in chips.
The female dealer used her slender hand to take out two black chips from the chip pool and push them in front of Qin Feng.
"It's a little less interesting to always gamble on chips."
The female dealer said to Qin Feng with a clever smile.
"Then I don't know what you want to gamble on, girl?"
"Why don't we bet on the name of this hand, in addition to the chips."
"Ha, this bet is very interesting, so I accept it."
Qin Feng decisively agreed to the female dealer's request, after all, she was a woman in addition to being a dealer. If a woman asks a man's name, if a beautiful woman asks a man's name.
Most men are willing.
At the beginning of this game, Qin Feng continued to put the 20,000 baht he had just won in the field, plus the 20,000 baht that he had just won as the capital.
So at the beginning, Qin Feng pressed 40,000 baht.
Probably most men start to take care of their faces as soon as they get involved in their personal affairs in front of beautiful women, and they lose their minds when they take care of their faces.
The female dealer pursed her lips and smiled, still skillfully dealing cards for Qin Feng.
Hole card 10 clubs, 10 diamonds. Exactly 20 o'clock.
No more calling.
As in the previous game, unless the female dealer's card is 21 points, Qin Feng is unlikely to lose.
Qin Feng glanced at the female dealer's card was a spade ace, and she didn't bid again.
Both sides are drawn at the same time.
The dealer's hole card is a 10 of hearts, and she adds that ace of spades, which is exactly 21 points.
In this way, Qin Feng felt a little pity in his heart, it seemed that in addition to 40,000 baht, it seemed that he would lose a fake name to the female dealer.
"Now, my name is Zheng Wuyi."
Qin Feng casually thought of a name, and the female dealer smiled lightly.
"You can call me Ayuta, which means a flower in Chinese, a flower that you can't see in the tropics."
Although Qin Feng lost, since Ayuta had thought about befriending him, he was probably ready to tell him his name early in the morning.
It's just that the name is just a title, and Qin Feng can't even write these three syllables in Thai, it's just convenient to call each other.
"Plum blossoms?"
"Sir, you guessed too accurate."
"Maybe because I just saw too many plum blossoms, I immediately thought that plum blossoms don't bloom in the tropics."
"Yes, there are a lot of plum blossoms in the casino, but they are not real plum blossoms. It would be nice to go to China one day and see the real plum blossoms. ”
Ayuta's words are both yearning and provocative.
"When you have a holiday, come to China, I can be a guide."
"Mr. Zheng is really enthusiastic, then I will go again next spring, and the plum blossoms will bloom at that time."
"Ha, aren't plum blossoms supposed to bloom in winter?"
"You live in China, sir, I don't know that although it is a snow and a cold plum, the earliest plum blossoms will not bloom until the spring flowers bloom. Therefore, it is the best time to enjoy the plum blossoms shortly after the beginning of the first month of early spring. ”
"Taught, taught, taught."
"Mr. Zheng, I see that you are quite righteous between your eyebrows, unlike the treacherous villain in the general casino, who is eager for quick success and quick profit, so he is willing to make friends with you."
"Ayuta girl, do you still know the art of face-to-face?"
"I know a little bit, but I can't talk about it. In any case, I advise my husband not to gamble any more today, he will lose very badly. ”
"Then it's better for you to finish work early today, and I'll invite you to have afternoon tea."
Qin Feng told himself in his heart, of course, this was also to facilitate the news of Du Ankang. Since Ayutakan trusts himself, he has a new clue.
Ayuta stared at Qin Feng carefully for a moment.
"Still no, Mr. Zheng, I'm already late for work today. Besides, I'm still waiting for a friend. ”
There are too many mysteries in Ayuta's words, whether this is because he is pretending to be reserved, or because he is really professional. If the professionalism is good, I'm afraid it won't be the latest one.
And what kind of friend is the waiting friend? What to wait for him or her to do?
Qin Feng had a trace of doubts in his heart, but these doubts only existed for a moment before they disappeared.
Because none of this has anything to do with Qin Feng, he doesn't even know her name, she doesn't know his real name, he just came to find out Du Ankang's whereabouts.
Even if he walked away for a while, Qin Feng would not forget his purpose.
