Chapter 39: Gambling
Compared with the liveliness of Hanyang City, the atmosphere of the Tang family seems a little dull and depressing, and the elders who meet everywhere are all full of gloomy and gloomy looks, and the juniors naturally can't be happy when they see them.
These days, the family council hall is also a lot busier, and the meeting that was originally held once a half month is now held every day.
Tang Chun sat on the head of the family with a solemn expression, listening to the report of the elders.
"Family master, according to reliable information, the Tan family bought a set of high-level generals in Shanhe City, and the Xie family also bought at least one set, most likely two sets. An elder said with a calm face.
Tang Chun listened, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he didn't say anything, he had already expected this situation, since the Tang family could buy high-level generals, then it was not surprising that the Xie family and the Tan family would do this.
"The head of the family, regarding this city comparison, the casino has already released the handicap. Another elder said.
Tang Chun raised his eyes to look at the elder and asked, "What's the situation?"
"Just as we expected. The elder replied.
Tang Chun nodded, revealing a contemplative look, and the fingers of his right hand lightly slammed on the desk beside him, making a crisp "dong dong" sound.
All the elders looked at Tang Chun and waited quietly, they knew that the head of the family must be brewing some decision in his heart at this time.
After a while, Tang Chun seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked, "How is Tang Chen now?"
"It's in retreat. Tang Yang replied.
Tang Chun was not surprised at all by this result, he had already learned from the Hidden Star Pavilion Guard Elder that Tang Chen had taken the name of the star technique, the six star skills, the lowest grade was a mid-level general, with the mystery of this kind of star skill, any one, without a few years of study, he didn't want to succeed in cultivation, and in just five days, how could he expect him to gain something.
"Forget it, leave him alone for now. Tang Chun shook his head, his eyes swept around the hall, and then he said solemnly: "I have a bold idea and want to hear everyone's opinions. ”
Hearing this, everyone cheered up one by one and pricked up their ears to listen seriously.
Tang Chun continued: "I want to make a big gamble with Xie and Tan in this city competition. Since they are pressing us so hard to squeeze us out of the three major families, then we will play the next big game with them. ”
Hearing this, the eyes of everyone present lit up, and those who could sit here to discuss matters were not ordinary people, so they naturally understood the intention of the head of the family.
Hanyang Casino is the property of the Shanhe Sect, jointly operated by the Xie family and the Tan family, and is one of the main sources of income for these two families.
"Family Master, do you mean that we can borrow Tang Chen's secret hand to make a big anti-gamble on the handicap?"
"That's right. Tang Chen's strength, everyone has seen it with their own eyes, even Tang Hao is not his opponent, then, at least those bets below Tang Hao, we still have articles to do. Tang Chun said confidently.
After getting a clear reply from the head of the family, everyone was in good spirits, this time the city comparison, the situation of the Tang family is not optimistic, everyone is as uncomfortable as pressing the scales, and now they finally have the opportunity to breathe a bad breath, so they naturally can't let it go.
"This is very good, I agree!" the second elder immediately expressed his support.
"Seconded. ”
"Seconded. ”
“......”
Everyone echoed loudly, and one by one they were in high spirits, like soldiers on the march, exuding high fighting spirit.
The dull council chamber suddenly came alive.
"Okay!" Tang Chun slapped the table, shouted, and said proudly: "Since everyone agrees, then we will play the second big game with them!" I order, immediately mobilize all the available funds of the family for backup, and the Great Elder is responsible for this matter. ”
"Yes. "Great Elder Tang Zheng happily accepted the order.
"Second Elder, Third Elder, Fourth Elder, you are responsible for raising funds from outside, the more the better, and you can use the family property as collateral. Tang Chun then ordered.
The three elders glanced at each other, and their eyes flashed with surprise, but they didn't question it, and immediately took the order.
"The rest, is responsible for organizing people to go to the casino to buy codes, as much as possible to organize more people, in addition to the clansmen, you can also go outside to invite people, but pay attention to confidentiality, do it more obscurely, can not expose our purpose, can not let people perceive is our organized action, the amount of a single purchase per person can not be too large, so as not to arouse the suspicion of the casino. ”
"Yes. ”
The crowd shouted in unison.
"As for the gambling market, the first three will not be bought for the time being, and our Tang family will not buy it for the time being, and the rest will be bought. Tang Chun thought for a moment and added.
"Family master, why don't we buy it from the Tang family, Tang Chen should be able to sweep below?"
"If even the Tang family buys it, it will inevitably make people think that we may have hidden hands, which will arouse their vigilance, so that their handicap will not dare to be too big.
You all remember, our Tang family, at the last moment, will buy it with a large amount of money at one time, and as for the top three, we will wait until Tang Chen is out of the customs. ”
"Understood!"
......
Since it is a gambling game, there are positive buys, and there will naturally be counter-buys, because there is a certain uncertainty about the results.
For example, about the gambling game of the first place in the city ratio, the gambling city, as the banker, opened the handicap that Xie Xiaoyu is the first place in the city ratio, the odds of buying are one to one, and the odds of buying are five to one, that is to say, if a customer buys Xie Xiaoyu with one star yuan is not the first in the city ratio, if the bet is right, the casino will compensate him with five star yuan.
Of course, the odds of each handicap are not fixed, and they are generally adjusted in a timely manner according to the sales situation, in order to pursue the maximum benefit and the least risk.
The Tang family's movements are very fast, and they are also very secretive, and there are constantly people arranged by them, mixed in the crowd, and entered the Hanyang Casino to buy codes, and gradually, unconsciously, the sales of the casino are quietly increasing......
Although the Tang family was very careful, the accumulated amount was huge, and all of them were anti-buying, so it didn't take long for the casino to notice the abnormality and report the situation to the top.
In the living room of the Xie family, Xie Qi and Tan Kui sat separately.
"The situation over there in the casino is very wrong, could it be that Tang Chun's side is starting to make a move?" Xie Qi said with a thoughtful expression.
"It is very likely that in Hanyang City, except for the Tang family, no one can come up with so much money. Tan Kui replied.
"This matter must be investigated, I don't think it's that simple, Tang Chun must still have a conspiracy, otherwise he wouldn't have done it with such fanfare. ”
Xie Qi said, his eyes flashing with light, as if a hunter hidden in the shadows had discovered the traces of his prey, excited and a little ruthless.
Tan Kui bowed his head and asked instead, "Then, do you want to make some adjustments on the handicap?"
Xie Qimo thought for a moment and replied: "The odds of those handicaps are not high, and the opening of such a handicap has also been carefully analyzed by us, and there will be no big mess, and there is no need to adjust it for the time being." What I'm worried about is that this is just Tang Chun's trick, and we don't know what else he has behind us......"
