On August 13, close to noon, Qin Di wore a blue cloth robe and came to the casino of the Liuhe Hotel.

The casino in these years is doing business openly and honestly, and it is not an underground casino.

The casino was bustling with people and was very noisy.

Qin Di took a look around and found that the main ones were pai gow, mahjong, playing cards, and dice throwing, and there were no slots/machines and other equipment in later generations.

He walked around the casino and found his two nephews, Qin Yuankong and Qin Yuanlong.

For some reason, Qin Yuanlong was shaking the dice, and he was shaking it decently, while Qin Yuankong was watching from the side.

Qin Yuanlong shook the color cylinder, buckled it on the table, and let the gamblers place bets.

Everyone placed their bets, but when the cup was finally opened, most of them lost.

Qin Yuanlong laughed, seemed to be very proud, and then began to shake again.

This time, there were very few bettors, and Qin Di touched five pieces of ocean and threw them on the table.

Qin Yuanlong and Qin Yuankong saw that it was him, and hurriedly shouted, "Uncle, why are you here?"

Qin Di said: "Let's talk about it after betting this game." Then the cup was opened, and the results went without saying.

Qin Yuankong sneered: "Uncle, your luck is so good!"

The people next to him asked, "Who is this person?"

Someone said: "You don't even know him? he is the famous Qin Dashao!"

"Hey, it turned out to be him, and he was really a first-class playboy, proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling......"

Qin Di glanced at the man, and then said to the two nephews, "I'll invite you to lunch, and I'll talk to you by the way." ”

The two followed him out of the casino and into a nearby tavern.

Qin Yuanlong looked around and seemed very dissatisfied: "Uncle, you are a big man, take us out for dinner, you have to find a big restaurant." Look at this place, there are no guests, and I don't know if the cooked food can be eaten!"

Qin Yuankong didn't squeak, it seemed that he had become a lot calmer.

Qin Di turned a deaf ear, found a window seat and sat down, called the boss over, ordered a few dishes, and then asked, "How is it?

Qin Yuanlong said with a smile: "It's still fun in the casino, I pondered several gambling techniques, and finally became obsessed with shaking cups." ”

Qin Yuankong said, "Uncle, I'm tired of staying here. ”

Qin Di asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

Qin Yuankong shook his head and said, "After all, the casino belongs to Boss Huang, if it is our Qin family, it can be managed well." I like management and I don't like watching people gamble. ”

Qin Di said: "If you want to be a good casino owner, it is not an easy task. ”

Qin Yuankong said: "Uncle, what you said is right. We've been in casinos for so long, and we probably understand the means behind it. ”

Qin Yuanlong also said: "Yes, there are many methods that cannot be put on the table. Those who go in lose nine out of ten. ”

Qin Di said: "There are two major casinos in the world today, one is Monaco in Europe, which has a history of hundreds of years, and the other is Las Vegas in the United States, which has just opened for three or four years since 1931. I want to send you out of the country to these two casinos for three months, do you want to go?"

Qin Yuankong's eyes lit up, and he said, "Of course I want to go, but I don't know foreign languages, what should I do?"

Qin Di said with a smile: "I have discussed with Boss Du, and I am going to pay a sum of money to open a new gambling city in the magic capital." The Qin family accounts for 70% of the shares. I asked Boss Du to send a few people to go abroad with you, first to Hongmen in San Francisco, where to find a few Chinese bodyguards and translators, and then to Las Vegas and Monte Carlo, and when you come back in a circle, the casino will be built. When the time comes, I will let you do the behind-the-scenes management, and then let Boss Du send someone to assist. ”

"Uncle, you are so thoughtful, if that's the case, I'm definitely willing to go!. ”

"Uncle, I want to go out and have a look, too. ”

"When I'm ready, I'll send you with me. ”

Qin Yuanlong asked happily, "Uncle, what's the name of our casino?"

Qin Di said: "It's called 'Phoenix City'." ”

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"It's 'Phoenix'! ”

In later generations, there were four major casinos in the world, in addition to the above two, there were Macau and Atlantic City in the United States. During the Republic of China, Macau's gaming industry existed, but it was not large, and Atlantic City had not yet opened.

Qin Di said: "Opening a casino in China has a bad reputation, so I have scruples and make special arrangements." This casino, on the surface, belongs to Boss Du, but in fact, it is our Qin family, and I will contribute all the capital, and Boss Du is responsible for the manpower. And, of course, to borrow his fame. ”

Qin Yuankong said: "Is this too much to give him thirty percent of the shares?"

Qin Di said with a smile: "This gambling city is just an experiment, and it will be closed in ten years at most." When the time comes, we'll change places and open the biggest casino in Asia! If you two brothers are angry, I'll let you be the boss, and if you can't hold it up, I'll have to cooperate with others. ”

"Uncle, we have to hold it up to the death!"

"You are still young, you need to learn more, not only to learn management methods, but also to learn the way of life, usually read more books, it is best to go to school to audit, make up for your homework!"

"This ...... I get a headache when I see a book......"

"Even if you don't read, you should talk to people more! Life is full of knowledge, you have to use your brain!"

"Uncle, I understand. ”

Half a year ago, Qin Mu took his eldest son Qin Yuansi to Chengdu to manage the textile factory, Qin Yuankong began to support the family, and gradually became a director.

The Qin family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a shortage of manpower from beginning to end.

Qin Di felt that people from outside should be invited, and their own family members should also use it, and some private work, such as opening a casino, is more convenient to use their own people, because it involves money laundering.

He thinks that the reason why Qin Yuankong and Qin Yuanlong are bastard is mainly because they don't have a good education, Qin Hanliang is too busy, and Hu Ying is a confused woman, so his children and grandchildren are not successful! If not, let them fend for themselves.

Although it is said that opening a casino has a bad reputation, it depends on what era it is in.

In the thirties and forties, the magic capital was surrounded by the Japanese outside, and an isolated island was formed inside, many people gathered on the island, and a large amount of money gathered, forming a deformed prosperous scene.

Of course, the casino lasted until 1948 at most, and then it was about to die down.

At that time, Qin Yuankong and Qin Yuanlong will be in their thirties, and they can just take time to go to Macau and Hong Kong.

Qin Di didn't think about where he would go in the future, but if he had bases in Macau, Hong Kong, and Nanyang, he would return to the mainland at night and disguise himself as a worker, a peasant, or an intellectual...... Or hide in a place rich in spiritual energy to cultivate, and it is easy to spend decades of time.
