Chapter 011: Dock Casino
The rotors began to turn, making a buzzing sound, and the falcon changed from level flight to vertical landing, and in a short time landed on a wide working platform.
This is a container terminal, a freighter is moored in the river next to it, more than 50 robot cranes are automatically loading and unloading goods on the ship, and there is no one else on the working platform except for three or four mechanics, although busy, but obviously lifeless. But Wu Ming should be happy, because that means that there won't be too many witnesses in his stylish dress.
Under the guidance of the fierce mastiff, Wu Ming and Yaji got off the electric falcon and walked straight to the innermost container. As soon as the door opened, Wu Ming realized that the tall iron cabinet was just a disguise, and there was a hole in the container.
There are about dozens of steps in the downward path, during which you have to pass through two code doors, and the innermost is an elevator hall, which requires the double unlocking of fingerprints and retinas to open, just like a top-secret military base.
But as soon as this impression took shape, it was quickly shattered.
When the elevator door opened on the fifth basement floor, what appeared in front of Wu Ming turned out to be a huge luxury casino!
In all directions, scantily clad waitresses weave through the crowd under the dazzling spotlights, gentlemen in suits and leather shoes fiddle with chips, and wealthy Arabic merchants swallow cigars in their mouths...... There are hundreds of slot machines, roulette, poker tables and other entertainment, and they are all surrounded by water, and what is even more surprising is that there is a dog racing ring with a track circumference of about 500 meters. The size of this underground casino can be imagined.
From the moment he entered, Yaggie's eyes were drawn to the giant dome in the center of the casino, and by this time, his eyes were almost lit up with excitement stimulated by the fast-paced music.
A replay of the previous night's football match was being played on the screen, around the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, which was supposed to result in a Munich team beating a Lisbon side by a big margin.
"I knew it was the result!" Yaji raised his palm towards the dome and shouted at Wu Ming in the style of an expert, "Once you encounter the German chariot, the Portuguese-speaking guys will always suffer, and this matter has been settled since 18 years ago. It's a shame I missed this sure-fire game. ”
The fierce mastiff was still waiting in front, not showing the slightest impatience, but the strong man in black who was on the side couldn't help but sneer: "Ghost Calamity, do you have itchy hands?" Do you know why you can't get out of the fate of the poor? That's because of your self-righteousness! ”
The corners of Yaji's mouth squirmed a few times, and he looked like he wanted to quarrel with the strong man, but he knew that he was now under the fence, and he had to be a man with his tail between his legs, even if that guy was just a follower, he probably couldn't afford to provoke him.
However, just as Yaji was about to swallow his anger and take a step in a somewhat frustrated manner, Wu Ming suddenly pulled him down.
"It doesn't matter if you think it's someone else's say." Looking at Wu Ming's appearance, he seemed to be angry, "In our East, there is a word called 'No Ji Tailai', which means that bad luck will always develop in a good direction when it reaches the extreme." I think you're in this trend right now, it's not a big deal to try your luck, there should be a few more games tonight, why don't you show him proof? ”
"Uh...... It's true? Yaggie was stunned for a moment, then a smile bloomed on her face. He glanced at the strong man, snorted demonstratively, and snapped his fingers at the waitress: "Hey, girl, I'm going to bet on the night's game!" ”
The waitress came up with her mouth pursed. Yaji's rustic tone and Wu Ming's fancy dress are really difficult to deal with at the same time, and it is estimated that her professionalism is not low, otherwise she will definitely not be able to hold back her laughter.
"Please choose your tournament and betting chips, valued guests."
The waitress presented her breasts, and between the towering twin peaks, a transparent display as thin as a cicada's wing, showing the corresponding betting options.
Yaji's eyes were a little unfocused, and others would gracefully reach out their fingers and click a few points on the screen, but he poked his entire palm over.
"This ...... Uh, it's still this ...... Well, it's a bit hard to choose. He struggled in his thoughts.
"You'll have to figure it out first, Scourge Star," said the black-clad man with a smirk beside him, "you have to have money to bet, we at the dock casino never accept credit!" ”
"Bastard, do you really think I'm an idiot!" Yaji's pride was completely stimulated, his arm almost reached into his trouser pocket, took out a pile of banknotes, and threw it out in a chic manner, "I bet on Auxerre, 5,000 yuan, all on it!" ”
The girl held the pile of colorful banknotes on her chest, and her expression was strangely stunned. The dozen or so gamblers around seemed to be attracted by this extravagant spending, and they all looked over with curiosity.
The silence lasted for about a dozen seconds, and the chatter laughter gradually rang out, and soon turned into a loud laugh.
"I'm sorry, sir." The waitress girl couldn't help but shove the bills back, "But we don't accept cash here, only chips, and ...... The lowest price chip is also 300,000 yuan. ”
"300,000!!"
Yaji was sweating all of a sudden, and her mouth was wide open, as if her jaw had been dislocated.
"Now you understand what it means to be self-sufficient, fool?" The strong man in black laughed, his mouth opened wider than Yaji, "This is not the place for you to stop, it is enough to take a long look at the long knowledge, and you shouldn't even say a word." ”
Yaji's old face was swollen red, and his whole person shrank completely, if there was a crack in the ground, he would definitely get into it without hesitation.
At this critical moment, Wu Ming stepped forward.
"The Dock Casino doesn't accept credit, so what about you?" He walked up to the fierce mastiff who had been waiting there indifferently, and stretched out his hand with a natural look, "Can I borrow money from you?" Just one chip, anyway, I'm very confident in Yaji's prediction, and after a few hours, we'll make a lot of money, and we can guarantee that we can pay it back, and you can pay it back, even if you want interest! ”
Wu Ming didn't squeak, those gamblers probably thought of him as a clown actor who was about to take the stage, but now his close-fitting women's clothes have successfully stolen everyone's attention. For a moment, the entire casino turned into a sea of joy, and the laughter was loud enough to drown the deafening music.
The mastiff was not in a hurry to reply, as if he deliberately wanted this to continue for a while, so that the unidentified nerd who was unexpectedly appreciated by the young lady would be teased even more.
Yagi was so embarrassed that she fidgeted like an ant on a hot pan. But Wu Ming seemed to be completely isolated from the outside world, and he still stubbornly stretched out his palm to the mastiff, like a wayward child, if he didn't get that lollipop, he would definitely not give up.
In addition to laughing loudly, a considerable number of wealthy businessmen subconsciously checked the chips in their hands, as if they wanted to throw one or two of them so that this farce could continue to develop. But they controlled their kindness, because they all knew the rules of the dock casino, and they also knew the power of the master, and if they made a claim, they would definitely get into trouble.
Finally, Wu Ming's insistence had an effect, and the mastiff nodded lightly to the waiter. That seemed to be a signal that all the service staff in the dock casino understood, so the waitress smiled at Wu Ming, quickly turned around and ran to the service desk.
"Out of friendship, for a VIP like you, I can provide 50 million advance chips."
The fierce mastiff said to Wu Ming in a different voice, "That's interest-free, and you can completely control how to control it." ”
The mastiff slowly turned his back and took a step towards the gate on the west side: "Since you have found fun here, then I beg your pardon, I am not with you." Your room number is 519, if you need anything, just ask any of the waiters, as our lady said, you will be treated to the best hospitality in the world. ”
The black figure disappeared indifferently through the glittering golden door, and all the gamblers present seemed to feel relieved. The entire casino has resumed its hustle and bustle, and unlike the previous one, Wu Ming and Yaji have become the focus of attention here.
For the guests here, 50 million chips is not an eye-popping number, after all, the members here are all super-rich with a net worth of tens or even hundreds of billions, but the problem is that the dock casino actually provided this young man with an advance of chips, which is an unprecedented move!
In addition, the fierce mastiff, who has always been cold-faced and ruthless, also claimed that he would provide him with the best hospitality in the world, and listening to him, it was actually Miss Titer's idea. It seems that this strange young man has a lot of background, and he may be the unruly illegitimate son of the president of a certain region.
"Hey, friend, how are you going to play?"
"Seeing that you are so sure, you must have received some inside story, right?"
Several young gamblers began to come up and talk, obviously trying to set up, after all, in the current chaotic world, knowing one more heavyweight may have multiple ways out. More people still took a bystander attitude to see what the hell was going on here.
Wu Ming replied with a smile while taking two stacks of chips from the plump waiting girl: "I'm really sorry everyone, I'm a complete layman for this thing. I just listened to my financial planner, and I played how he said he would. ”
"Me? Financial planner? Yaji panicked again, "Don't be kidding, to be honest, I haven't won a gamble once in my life." What's more, this is still such a large sum of money, if I mess up, I won't be able to pay if I die ten thousand times! ”
"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Wu Ming slapped the chips into Yaji's hand, ignoring the curse of the Ghost Calamity Star that he would lose every time he gambled, "I've already decided, let's have an exciting one, and throw the 50 million into it at once." Now, tell me, which team to bet on? ”
