Chapter 20 Grand Hotel Chichen Itza

"You said that gambling is a zero-sum game." Shangluo looked up at the clock tower, "If the environment can increase luck and make everyone's luck better, then who will be unlucky?"

[I don’t know, maybe it’s a casino.]

"So here it is. Look at the guide book - Chichen Itza Grand Hotel, the official property of the city-state of Chichen Itza. But during the Banana Offensive in 22 AD, Chichen Itza was connected to 17 other Mayan city-states.

Caught in a chain of bankruptcy madness

In times of crisis, United Fruit extended a helping hand to all these Mayan city-states. 14 of the 17 city-states were acquired by United Fruit, and only 3 accepted the bankruptcy protection plan and remain today. Chichen Itza also unfortunately went bankrupt, but

."

He turned a page in the guide book: "Due to the bankruptcy of the city-state, the Chichen Itza Hotel was mortgaged to United Fruit in its entirety, and the hotel revenue was used as a guarantee to repay the debt. However, because the city-state of Chichen Itza itself fell into irreversible

The decline of the hotel was avoided, and the hotel's performance also gradually declined. Finally

Three years ago, they accepted the merger and acquisition of United Fruit and made adjustments to some high-spending projects. They fired all the croupiers, renovated the entire casino, and replaced all previous projects with pinball machines and slot machines. It is said that

, this is the decision of the King of Chichen Itza.”

[Then they must have turned a profit now?]

"No, they are now stuck in the quagmire of power shortage. United Fruit seems to be having trouble dealing with the local gangs. The power grid here is shut down every now and then. Every time the power is shut down, Tiger and Marbles are all cut off. Once the power is cut off, everything breaks down.

A large piece. The king of Chichén Itzá’s huge gamble failed completely.

After saying that, Shangluo began to adjust his collar: "So now, it's me. Oh no, it's us."

Hats, collars and cuffs all had to be straightened out, and he had to maintain his "Kinai" dignity.

Stepping up the steps decorated with reliefs, Shangluo walked to the door of the hotel.

Two half-naked strong men holding maquawit stood at the door. Their exposed limbs and chests were covered with tattoos, and there was almost no place where their true skin could be seen.

Shangluo had just seen it in the album. These were "professionals" invited from the Mayan Kingdom. Each of them was a descendant of the nobles of the 17 Mayapan city-states that survived after Master Wang cut down the mountains and destroyed the temple. Master Wang was in Dayi

The war abolished the human blood sacrifice in Yangzhou by cutting down mountains and destroying temples, but their original ruling system was retained.

Although only 3 of those 17 city-states still maintain monarchy, and the others have been swallowed up by United Fruit and Banana plantations, the culture of the Mayans has been fully respected and preserved - just because of the economic problems in recent years, many

People have to go out to work.

According to tradition, the more tattoos a person has, the more powerful they are. Except for these two people, who have no tattoos on their faces, their whole bodies are covered with tattoos of the genealogy of God. They look very powerful.

But I don’t know if it’s the theme of the hotel or if these two professionals are not so willing to be waiters to welcome guests. When Shangluo walked in, the two people next to the door were as motionless as stone statues. After entering, they waited in the lobby for a while.

A doorman came to greet you.

"I'm not staying in a hotel." He said to the doorman, "Can you please take me to visit the casino?"

"No problem, sir. Our hotel is open to the public, please go this way."

Not all hotels accept foreign guests - as one of the cultural symbols of the Maya, Chichen Itza Hotel did not accept it before. But as far as the current situation is concerned, they have to accept it even if they don't accept it.

The doorman led the way, and store employees passed by from time to time. Without exception, they were all Mayans.

In terms of appearance, the appearance of the Mayans is different from that of the Aztecs and Incas. Although the eyes and hair are black, the facial lines of the Mayans are softer and the skin is whiter. From a distance, many Mayans have

The appearance is very similar to that of the Han people. There was even a saying of "Yin Shang's eastward journey" at that time, although in the end it was nothing.

This is not the first time Shangluo has seen Mayans, there are quite a few in San Francisco. That city belongs to the "San Francisco" in terms of large-scale divisions, and Maya is one of the three feudatories, and the remaining two are Aztec and Inca.

In San Francisco, there is a "Dragon God Tower" jointly dedicated by the three vassals.

"Pyramid", it was the tallest building in San Francisco except for the glazed tower in the Acropolis for a long time. But time has changed, and the Pyramid of the Dragon God has long been buried in the reinforced concrete forest. The city serves as a "gift"

"The meaning of it has also faded a lot.

The Mayans here are also as talkative as the Mayans in San Francisco and are far less enthusiastic than in the past.

At that time, the Great Righteous War not only cut down mountains and destroyed temples in Yangzhou, but also carried out the "rise and fall" of all Yangzhou aborigines. At that time, the Aztecs had actually perished, and only the Mayans were left.

Several city-states such as Chichen Itza were struggling to survive. It was the imperial court that allowed them to rebuild their homes from the ruins.

Except for the eternally loyal "Youmyeong Joseon Kingdom" who is still eternally loyal, Maya, who is far away from the vast sea, always seems to be more and more distant from Wang Ji.

After being acquired by bankruptcy, Maya also focused more on the imminent pressure of life.

[These Mayans don’t look very professional, as if they are too lazy to do business. By the way, what happened in the first place? Rome thought that Daming would interfere with the merger and acquisition of United Fruit. But you didn’t interfere. 】

"I don't know the specifics. It happened before I was 'born'. But it seems to be related to the Lanfang Company, the mastermind behind 'United Fruit', which is the property of the Prince of Yanping. It is said that they did this,

The purpose is to acquire the 'Edict' issued to each tributary country that year, which is the only legal certificate for their tribute. Whoever obtains the Edict can conduct tribute trade with the imperial court."

With the imperial edict taken away, Chichén Itzá lost its use value. No wonder it was reduced to a farmland today.

Passing through the hall and entering the open space - the light suddenly dimmed and the air became turbid. Under the dim light, second-hand smoke from various brands from all over the world merged together, creating a great disharmony in life.

Rows of small steel balls are listed here, as well as slot machines and coin pushers. The noise suddenly doubled, and the dusty and pilling carpets and tapestries were prepared for the dealers in formal attires, and there was no way to absorb the machinery here.

noise.

Tourists and residents stood in front of the gleaming machine, staring at the rotating drum and beating steel balls as if they were possessed.

"Cough" Shangluo coughed due to the sudden stimulation, "I said, why don't you turn on the lights in broad daylight?"

"Save electricity." The doorman replied weakly, "You can use the machines here as you like. You look like you are from Jinei, and these machines are also made in Jinei. If you have Taihe Tongbao, Shaoping Tongbao,

You can directly invest in any category without exchanging tokens. Then, I wish you all your wishes will come true."

In the end, he still maintained his last bit of professionalism and bowed his hand to Shangluo. "Well, with your good words, I will definitely make a fortune from you."
