.On the afternoon of June 8th, Macau, Central Hotel. This hotel is the first comprehensive hotel since Macau opened its port. It not only has restaurants and rooms, but also casinos, swimming pools, massage parlors, billiards rooms, bowling alleys and other facilities. It can be said that it is a combination of food, entertainment and fun. It is no exaggeration to say that there are all European hotels in the 1940s, Central Hotels are not short of them.
At this moment, Cheng Jiaji and Yu Sangu and his wife were in a casino affiliated to the Central Hotel. This casino is three times the gambling contract fee that was paid to the Macau colonial authorities three years ago with an old salary of 600,000 Australian dollars (the annual gambling contract fee must be paid to the Macau colonial authorities). It was the largest casino under the Taixing Entertainment Corporation, which won the Macau gambling license from Haoxing Company, a member of the first generation of Macau gambling king Lu Jiu, and joined forces with the Hong Kong and Macau tycoon Gao Kening (these two are Fu of the four major families in Hong Kong from 4 to 60 years, the founder of the Gao family.) and is also the gambling table No. 21 of the now well-deserved Macau No. 21 gambling table.
Although he was at the bustling gambling table, which showed all kinds of things in the world, while the heroes talked about the trivial matters of territorial division and profit sharing, Cheng Jiaji, who accompanied Yu Sangu across the sea to relax, was not at all at this ups and downs gambling table. He was still immersed in the joy of "blacking out" Mr. Situ. In particular, whenever Cheng Jiaji remembered the inexplicable expression of Situ when he saw the eighty Italian flamethrowers listed in the last item on the list drawn up by Qian Shen, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart for a long time. Cheng Jiaji would
If you like Italians' really shoddy flamethrowers, you really have no choice. Now, the flamethrowers of Germany and Italy have only been tested in actual combat in the world, and the future of Shenwei's British and American flamethrowers are still under development. With the terrifying internal cohesion of the highlands of the Third Reich, it is a matter that you don't even think about if you want to buy cutting-edge weapons such as flamethrowers in private. Excluding Germany, there is only the seller of both greed, cowardice, incompetence, cruelty and other "advantages".
Cheng Jiaji was absent-minded. After marrying Cheng Jiaji, she didn't go to the gambling stage for a long time. At this time, Yu Sangu, who was a little happy to see the hunt, was fully devoted to it. Fortunately, she was very excited but not proud. With Yu Sangu's gambling skills, who had been immersed in gambling for half her life, she could easily sweep one or two tables, but she always played very well. She won several times on a stall (the commonly known as Go-to-go-to-place mentioned in the second chapter of the previous article).
There are two benefits to doing this: one will not attract excessive attention from dealers and experts in the market, and the other will also avoid other gamblers on the same gambling table. The latter is undoubtedly the most taboo thing in a casino. Generally speaking, if a customer is betting and a large number of people follow the betting and winning money, it is mostly considered to be playing. The gambler who is a "guideline" for everyone will definitely have trouble.
Although Yu Sangu had already kept enough mercy under his command, she was so much stronger than the dealer with a small family of gambling skills. After a while, the bargaining chips in front of Yu Sangu still had a high-rise building.
Yu Sangu is indeed a smart person, but the experts of the central casino are not easy to meet. Even though they dodge, Yu Sangu, who is winning by winning by betting on ten or ten bets, was still targeted by someone who is interested.
"Sir, are you interested in going there to have fun?" A handsome young man in his twenties in his suit and ties came over and said respectfully.
"No need, we just come across the sea to play, so we won't waste much time." Yu Sangu's sentence was equivalent to telling the other party that he had no intention of going to the VIP room and would leave soon.
"Mr., Madam has a good time." Macau is Macau, and it is indeed a high-end place. Even in this era, the most ordinary staff in a casino seem so polite and extremely demeanor.
When Cheng Jiaji was about to leave with his third aunt, something that made Cheng Jiaji feel "stunning" hit him.
In cities in the 21st century, few Chinese people don’t know about the two iconic representatives of Macau’s casino, the Pujin Hotel and the slot machine. The Pujin Hotel will not be built in 1970, so let’s not mention it. What Cheng Jiaji is seeing now is such an old slot machine that will be popular among many gamblers.
Finally seeing something that could have something to do with the Macau I remember. Although Cheng Jiaji was not very gambled, he just wanted to vaguely find some "memories of the past" that were precious to him. Cheng Jiaji, who thought he had some time to squander, had to play tricks anyway.
Not to mention, Cheng Jiaji, who had been addicted to electronic gambling machines for a while in his teenage years, played a manual and mechanical slot machine that was just fighting probability, and he really got some tricks. He won several small bets such as twenty or fifty every now and then. He was swinging bets again (at the time, he only bet three chips and coins at the highest level). After half an hour, it was no worse than the result of the third aunt's "hard work" for more than an hour...
A unique vigilance of a soldier who had only stopped on the line of life and death countless times made Cheng Jiaji, who was having fun, noticed that there was a thirty-year-old dress a few meters away from him. His temperament was similar to Xu Wenqiang in the "Shanghai Beach" and was silently observing everything here. Originally, Cheng Jiaji didn't want to have too many details, but this picture was quite similar.
The kind face and the ears that looked very agile, but Cheng Jiaji couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be him? But at this time he should be in the big Hongtu of Shanghai under the iron hoof of the Japanese! (Cheng Jiaji remembered correctly. In fact, Ye Xin did return a few days ago because he wanted to "escort" a large number of slot machines that were still illegal gambling in Macau at that time, and he had just left Shanghai temporarily.)
"Sir, is the surname Ye?" Cheng Jiaji, who admired someone for a while when he was a teenager, couldn't help but feel confused and stood up and asked.
"My surname is Ye. My surname is Mr. Ye." This time it was the voyeurist's turn to be shocked.
"My little surname is Cheng, I would like to ask the teacher's name." The suspicious identity was initially confirmed, which made Cheng Jiaji a little excited.
"I, Ye Xin, what advice do you have?" The other party was also a cheerful person and said his name directly.
Ye Xin, a native of Xinhui, Guangdong, has learned "original origins" since he was a child. After entering the Macau gambling world in the 1930s, he was even more stunning and stirring up the vast Haojiang River. In the 1960s, he cooperated with others to obtain the right to hold a license in the Macau gambling industry. After gradually being squeezed out of the throne of the Macau gambling king with a business philosophy of more advanced than his, he still roamed the major casinos around the world. He has always had a lot of gambling in his life, and he always won and lost in millions of dollars. There are four recognized gambling kings in the 20th century.
But it is normal to bet with people, and it is the only one who can lead the trend of Asian gambling. He introduced several gambling methods including slot machines from the Western world to Macau, which has made the wealth-making projects of Macau casinos become systematic. Just when he was nearly 90 years old, he also started the "high sea gambling hot" that caused more than 30% of the major casinos in Macau to reduce the number of guests. This shows how many ideas are and how great it is.
After confirming that the person standing in front of him was Ye Xin, who had a lifelong title such as "Gambling Saint, Gambling Owl, Gambling Devil", Cheng Jiaji suddenly had an idea in his mind. Compared with decades, the scale and management methods of the casino in Macau are still in the development period, and the threshold for operation is also low. The annual salary of gambling licenses (operating rights) in Macau is only 180,000 Australian dollars. He can still take out this money and has the backing of Mr. Du, who is closely related to the wealthy people in Hong Kong and Macao, what reason is there to try to get a share of this piece of cake destined to rise to a giant?
Since he had this idea, whether he could hold on to the gambling king in front of him became the key to whether he could succeed. Fortunately, Cheng Jiaji, who had read other people's biography novels, knew that Ye Xin had become a climate at this time and was trying every means to start his own business.
"Mr. Ye is back from Shanghai to play! I admire Mr. Ye's gambling skills very much, so let's do it! Tonight, if Mr. Ye has time, please go to Ketudian Road in Kowloon, Hong Kong to tell me what to do." After saying a word, Cheng Jiaji left his thoughts without hesitation, and took Yu Sangu away with his long-lasting support under the protection of Tu Jingguo and others. "Why are you asking Ye Xin to meet Ye Xin with the sign of his master? I guess I want to travel to this beach of Macau!" After many times, Yu Sangu of Macau has been famous for Ye Xin, who has defeated the "die party" for a long time.
"You! It's really a worm in my stomach." Cheng Jiaji, who was told by his beloved wife, said in a doting tone, while saying that his right hand on Sangu's waist was also "honest".
"Stop messing around, there are too many people on the streets. Sometimes, I don't understand you. There is no money in this world that you dare not make, but you are greedy for money and spend all your white light on the troops. My family is so poor that you want to be a warlord? That warlord is not a master of war avoidance, and there is no one who wants to fight without war like you."
Cheng Jiaji joked: "I'm just fighting a war, what's the point of killing the Japanese?!"
Perhaps because of too many times when "relatively speaking", Cheng Jiaji never came to his four wives for those passionate and loud words.
"It's smooth, just forget it if you don't say it. And why do you think that Macau, a small place with a population of only 100,000, will have a future? I see! If you want to open a gambler, you're just as serious as building a casino in Hong Kong." After hearing Yu Sangu's doubts, Cheng Jiaji was speechless. It's not that he couldn't say anything, but it was a long story, and some words were not necessarily spoken to even those who were close to the people of Chen. Cheng Jiaji could not tell Yu Sangu that Japan, Britain and the United States would start a war in more than a year, and that Macau's permanent neutrality had ushered in a golden development period of more than ten years since then!
It was already dusk when Cheng Jiaji returned to Du Mansion. What surprised him was that it was already here, but the owner of Du Mansion had not come back yet.
It seems that it is quite time-consuming to divide the territory, so wait! Cheng Jiaji, while fantasizing about Boss Du and his group of heroes, or Zhang Yawu, or pushing me to make the magnificent scenes on the world map, he completed the energy replenishment task.
If he wanted to report to Boss Du about his intention to intervene in the Macau Casino, Cheng Jiaji was waiting around, but he would wait for Ye Xin first.
Let’s talk when people come! One is a famous anti-Japanese general who has become famous in recent years, and the other is a profession who is only thirty years old but has a gambling age of more than 20 years. As usual, they can’t even talk about it together, but this talk lasted for four hours, not to mention how speculative it was to enter Hong Kong.
Because he was instilled with new ideas, he was full of confidence in Cheng Jiaji. Shortly after the "Ghost King Ye" left, Cheng Jiaji, who was proud of the spring, finally waited for Boss Du, who was tired of being over the "fighting" for one day.
"Haoran, my opinion is similar to that of my third aunt. I am still in the Shanghai Concession. Hong Kong is very popular. But since you insist on doing it in that small place in Macau, then let's do it. I will say hello to Fu Laorong, Gao Kening and others tomorrow. This Macau venue is not the main business of their two families. Letting you open a Macau venue is just a gossip!" After hearing what Boss Du said, he did a big business and did not take the small scene in Macau seriously. This made Cheng Jiaji amazed the other party's "magnanimity", but also deeply glad for his investment "eye".
That night, Cheng Jiaji, whose forehead was hot, poured all his "hot blood" on his third aunt's body, and it was the best result of taking advantage of the wind to create a four-degree personal score.
Who said good things cannot be together? The next morning, not only did Boss Du receive the promises of the two current gambling kings in Macau, but Mr. Situ also handed over the phone. Even the seller, including the eighty Italian flamethrowers, had contacted the seller. If nothing unexpected happens, they will be transported to Hong Kong one by one. Cheng Jiaji, who was overjoyed, hurriedly contacted Mrs. Qian, who was in charge of the Iron Shark Banner, and asked her to smuggle the goods in batches to the ports in Hepu, which are still in the hands of the Chinese army.
After arranging the crucial arms and material transportation routes, Cheng Jiaji took time to talk to Ye Xinshen and decided on the name of the new casino that he would work together to build and some business ideas in major directions.
As soon as everything was done, Cheng Jiaji took his wife's subordinates to the flight to Guilin, which had won a lot of good things, and successfully ended his first trip to Hong Kong that had gained a lot.
