Chapter 874: 18 people live in two bedrooms and one living room

The waiter at the Neapolitan casino said: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Lorenzo, I am the trainee dealer of this casino, Mr. Marcelo is my cousin, I am his cousin's cousin. ”

Chen Wen said: "Hello, Mr. Lorenzo! I am very satisfied with your service! Okay, please tell us about the gameplay of your casino." ”

Lorenzo had already heard about Chen Wen's performance in the Milan casino from Marcelo's mouth on the phone today, and knew that Chen Wen and his two companions had won 2.05 million US dollars from two Japanese in the form of a bet.

He immediately introduced the names of all the games in the Neapolitan casino, which is actually exactly the same as the Milan casino, and in 1992 the casinos around the world were almost the same, Bai/Jia/Le, roulette, blackjack, slot machines, dice and the like.

In terms of cards, the Texas Hold'em that Chen Wen often played on his mobile phone in the 21st century did not appear in Italian casinos in 1992 for the time being, and that thing had to be slowly promoted by American casinos in the next ten years.

As for whether Poker has appeared in casinos in other European countries, Chen Wen does not know for the time being. So far he has only visited Belgium and Italy, and has not seen Poker.

He has seen /shuttle/ha//in Hong Kong films, and there are no Italian casinos. But if there are Oriental gamblers who are willing to play in the private room, this casino can also send a dealer to provide services. Chen Wen only has himself to play, of course he can't play/shuttle/ha/.

As for the quintessence of mahjong in China, Lorenzo regretted that Italian casinos have never offered such a service.

Chen Wen listened patiently for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "I have seen F1 and Serie A bets in the Milan casino where your cousin's cousin works, do you have any casinos?"

Lorenzo said: "Of course there is. Italy's three largest spinach companies all have counters in our casino, and Mr. Chen can place bets at any time. Oh, Mr. Chen, you came here this time, from tomorrow night to the night after tomorrow, there is just one round of Serie A. ”

Chen Wen asked, "If I bet in your casino, do you have a commission?"

Lorenzo's expression was slightly embarrassed: "This, Mr. Chen, this matter is a common practice in the industry, why should you bother with such a thing?"

Chen Wen smiled and said, "I'm not worried about this matter, but I'm willing to let you earn commissions." Please tell me what percentage of your commission and what percentage of your personal income is. ”

Lorenzo said respectfully: "If you participate in various projects in the lobby of our casino, whether you win or lose, I will get a 1% commission based on the total amount of bets you make. If you buy sports spinach, our casino can get a 2% commission from the spinach company, I am your exclusive dealer, and my own commission is also 1%. ”

Chen Wen smiled and said, "That's what it means."

If I bet 1 million US dollars, you can get a commission of 10,000 US dollars regardless of whether you win or lose. ”

Lorenzo bowed: "Mr. Chen, you are a generous gentleman. ”

Chen Wen nodded and drank the remaining small half of the beer: "Let's go, take me to see the spinach in Serie A." ”

Lorenzo led the way in front of the side, Adriana took Chen Wen's arm, and the three of them left the restaurant and walked through a corridor to the lobby of the casino.

Compared to the Milan casino, this Neapolitan casino is more imposing and a little larger. Chen Wen thought to himself, Milan is a bigger city, why does the semicolon of this casino in Milan seem smaller?

He didn't understand the mystery of this, and he didn't bother to ask Lorenzo about this kind of question, which might reveal his lack of knowledge, and followed the trainee dealer to the spinach counter.

There are three groups of spinach counters, lined up in a row, and lined up on one wall.

Lorenzo arranged for Chen Wen and Adriana to sit down on a comfortable sofa, and he fetched a pile of materials for the big high roller

Chen Wen glanced at the matchtable of this round of Serie A, Juventus hosted Roma, and the game was in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

While Chen Wen was reading the material, Lorenzo snapped his fingers at the bar not far away and made two quick gestures.

In less than a minute, the waiter at the bar brought a tray, a large glass of freshly squeezed juice for the beautiful Adriana, and a cup of Italian coffee on the coffee table on Chen Wen's left.

Chen Wen didn't raise his eyelids, and said softly: "Thank you." ”

The waiter bowed and left.

Chen Wen's attention was all on the information in his hand, looking at this game that made Chen Wen unforgettable, a sad memory of his previous life flooded his mind.

There is a reason why Chen Wen remembered Juventus' 1-1 Roma game.

......

In March of his previous life, Chen Wen was expelled from the Normal School. He had no face to see people and ran away from home. In April, Zhang Juan, who was three months pregnant, left Hongcheng and returned to her hometown of Fengxian County.

In mid-April, Chen Wen, who worked in Fengxian County, tried to meet Zhang Juan's house, but was beaten up by Zhang Juan's two brothers and kicked out of the village. Later, Chen Wen fled to the southern province of Guangdong, where he worked odd jobs to make a living.

In October, Chen Wen learned of Zhang Juan's death from his middle school classmate Huang Wei. Chen Wen went to Fengxian County, Jiangxi Province and worshiped Zhang Juan, which was the first time in 27 consecutive years to worship Zhang Juan's grave. He knelt before the grave for three days and wept for three days.

A month ago, in September of his previous life, Chen Wen was in Yangcheng, where he had run away from home to work in the past few months

, living in a rented house with a group of migrant workers from different provinces.

At that time, Chen Wen had not yet started working in a dance hall, he was working as a hard and low-income restaurant kitchen, and a group of young people living with him were all kitchen handymen like him, who could only earn more than 100 yuan a month.

A two-bedroom house with 18 workers!

Can't figure it out, right?

Ten years later, Chen Wen met Li Chen, a classmate of the teacher's college, for the first time, and when he told Li Chen about this living condition as a story, the brother who slept on Chen Wen's top bunk didn't believe how a two-bedroom apartment could sleep 18 young men, and laughed and scolded Chen Wen for making up stories.

Chen Wen didn't know how he survived in his previous life, and in his memory, he didn't seem to say so. At that time, his heart was full of pain and self-blame, and the harsh living environment gave him a sense of self-abuse and atonement.

On this Sunday in September 1992, a couple of workers started a gamble against Roma in the 92/93 Serie A round.

The rules are very simple, buy a win or a draw, and there is nothing to say about buying a score.

Chen Wen didn't want to gamble at that time, he only had more than 30 yuan left, and there was still a week before the restaurant paid his monthly salary. Wages for September will be settled in early October.

When the workers encouraged Chen Wen, Chen Wen said: If I lose the money, I will have no money to eat.

One of the initiators said: Don't you buy all the money, keep ten or eight yuan, and you can always last until the next week!

Chen Wen took out a handful of loose money from his pocket, he only planned to bet 10 yuan, but he was robbed of two 10 yuan and two 5 yuan by the initiator, he shouted: Chen Wen bet 30 yuan!

Chen Wen hurriedly said: I buy 10 yuan, you give me back 20 yuan!

The initiator said: The rules at the gambling table, there is no reason to take the money back when it is on the table! If you dare to break the rules, get out of here, don't live here!

Chen Wen was so anxious that he was about to cry: I don't live here, where else can I live, I don't know other places!

The initiator smiled and said: Okay, don't look like you're crying, a manly man, hurry up and think about buying Juventus or Rome to win.

A group of workers are laughing at Chen Wen.

There are many people on the other side, and several people are rubbing their fists, and if Chen Wen is not convinced, it will be a fight.

30 yuan can't be returned, Chen Wen had to choose a team to bet, according to his understanding of watching Yang Ma's broadcast in the past two or three years, he felt that Juventus had a star like Robert Baggio, and there was no powerful person on the Roman side, so he chose to bet on Juventus to win.
