Chapter 17 The Great Gambling City of China
Li leisurely got out of the car, looked at the big casino in front of him that was about to be renovated, and couldn't help but think of those casinos in the future.
Casino is the name of the city where the gambling industry is thriving, which can refer to: Las Vegas in the United States, Macau in China, Monte Carlo in Monaco, Atlantic City in the United States, etc.
Las Vegas has a huge tourism, shopping, and vacation industry centered on the gambling industry, and is one of the world's well-known vacation destinations. Macau is the world's number one gambling city. Prince Charles III of Monaco allowed the construction of a casino on the northern headland in order to solve the financial crisis, which was Monte Carlo. Atlantic City is known for its promenade and casinos.
There are four major casinos in the world: Macau, Monaco, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas. These four major cities are known worldwide for their gambling industry. It is famous for its huge tourism, shopping, and vacation industries, mainly in the gambling industry, and is a world-renowned resort destination.
In addition to these four major casinos, there are also some more famous casinos, such as Folding South Africa Sun City, Folding South Korea's Walkerhill Villa, Vietnam Tu Shan Casino, Malaysia's Genting Villa, Germany Baden, etc., many casinos are famous.
In the 21st century, Macau is known as one of the world's four major gambling cities, and the gaming industry has been designated as the leading industry of Macau's economy by the SAR government. Macau now has 11 casinos, 353 gaming tables, and employs less than 10,000 people. However, it has opened up more than half of Macau's financial revenue, and you can imagine how profitable it is to open a casino.
As the leading boss of 11 casinos in Macau, Li Youran once went to Lisboa Casino, and many forms of China Casino were learned from there, with spacious space and ingenious layout, which was converted from an eight-storey hotel.
China Casino has a total of eight floors, formerly known as one of the four major families of the Zhou Shouchen family of a hotel expanded, mainly expanded three floors, the first and second floors are connected to each other for the casino, three are restaurants, the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh floors are hotel rooms, and the eighth floor of the top floor is the office area.
The practical area is more than 50,000 square meters, and the casino has more than 20,000 square meters on two floors, and the common gambling methods provided before crossing are: slot machines, blackjack, roulette, baccarat and so on; Casinos with a lot of Chinese participation generally also have games such as Sic Bo, Pai Gow, and Fan Tan. There are a total of 64 gaming tables, and there are 40 ordinary gaming tables in the lobby on the first floor, and of course, you need at least one yuan to bet here. There are 12 high-end tables on the second floor, which require 100 yuan to go up, and each bet is not less than 10 yuan. The other 12 supreme private rooms need 10,000 yuan to enter, each private room is very large, at least about 100 square meters, and also contains separate toilets for men and women, which is very convenient.
But not here, because many gambling methods in this era are not used and cannot be used, mainly based on Sic Bo, Pai Gow, baccarat, roulette, and some folk gambling methods also have some. The casino is divided into gambling tables and gambling halls, most of which are exchanged for cash chips and then bet on the gaming table, but considering the factors of this era, cash can also be used as a bet, but only in British dollars, unified settlement in British dollars (now Hong Kong does not have its own currency), which is also one of the conditions that the British government in Hong Kong promised to legally open a casino.
In addition to the indoors, there are also parking lots and various green areas of more than 20,000 square meters (many people will say, only tens of thousands of square meters, now there is any medium-sized hotel, but even if there is in the 30s, it is also small and pitiful, and it may only be found in Shanghai. Located in Wan Chai, not far from Central, the popularity is also very strong, at that time the Zhou Shouchen family in order to win this land, but also put a lot of effort to win, this time the other three in order to let him out to do the casino, but let a lot of benefits to the Zhou family, of course, for this casino, Li Youran and the four major families have made a lot of money, the decoration here is very luxurious, hit a city that never sleeps.
Before he could enter, a handsome middle-aged man in his thirties, with four or five people in gray and black suits, walked over to him with a smile on his face.
"Leisurely, you're finally here, if you don't come today, I still want to find you tomorrow!" The handsome middle-aged man said with a smile as he walked towards him.
"Oh, Uncle Yousheng, do you want to find me for something?" Li Youran asked a little puzzled, every time I saw him, I secretly scolded my mother, I thought I was handsome enough, but compared with him, it was really not a little worse.
Zhou Yousheng is the adopted son (third son) of Sir Zhou Shouchen of the four major families, he has been smart since he was a child, handsome, and deeply loved by Sir Zhou, and because his eldest brother Zhou Zhou Guang has to manage a lot of family properties, and the second brother Zhou Zhou Chang has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he and Li Youran also get along well, so he fell on behalf of the Zhou family, and the representatives of the He Dong family, Li Peicai family, and Lee Hysan family helped Li Youran manage the casino together, and he is now mainly responsible for the auspicious affairs of the King of Gambling Competition.
"How many times have I told you, call Brother Yousheng, don't call Brother Uncle, do you understand Brother Uncle!" Zhou Yousheng heard Li Youran call him Uncle Yousheng, and said very angrily.
The corners of Li Youran's mouth twitched a few times, every time he looked like this, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, and the three people behind Jin Shan and Zhou Yousheng hurriedly turned their heads away, all of them looked vigilant, as if they were very dangerous, but the smile on their faces betrayed them.
"Little brother's fault, little brother's fault, next time you must remember it." Li Youran patted his head and said with a pretended remorse face.
"Hmph, next time, I'll let Shuzhen treat you." Zhou Yousheng said fiercely.
Li Youran's face immediately turned pale when he heard this, and when he thought of the little witch, he couldn't help but be timid in his heart, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Brother Yousheng, let's get back to business!" You just said you want to find me for something. ”
"What could happen! It's not that the Shanghai gambling king Long Si didn't come, but a kid named Zhabei came on his behalf, I heard that it was a closed disciple of Long Si, what a new Shanghai gambling table, and his mother, it may be a day late, and I'm afraid he won't be able to participate. Zhou Yousheng said with a headache.
Li Youran nodded in question, and did not answer immediately, but signaled to him that there were many people here, and he would talk to the office later.
