Although it was not occupied by the Japanese army, the life of Macau people was not at all easier than that of Hong Kong.
With the maritime blockade, it is extremely difficult for supplies to enter Macau, which has also caused prices to skyrocket.
Profiteers hoard goods.
People dying of hunger can be seen everywhere on the road.
Beggars are everywhere.
There are also many people who sell their sons and daughters.
His condition is so miserable that it is hard to hide his eyesight.
But in various restaurants, casinos, and dance halls, they are still as prosperous and lively as before.
It's as if they don't live in the same city.
At that time, casinos were everywhere in Macau.
Big casinos and small gambling stalls can be found everywhere.
Macau used to be nicknamed "Holy City", which was given by foreign missionaries.
The full name is "City of God's Holy Name in China".
Starting from the late Ming Dynasty, the situation in Macau continued to fluctuate. The once unparalleled "largest commercial port in the Far East" began to smuggle opium, sell coolies, and engage in gambling.
After going through labor pains, today’s Macau is an exotic, dreamy and confusing “gambling city”.
At its peak, Macau had more than 200 casinos.
In order to change the chaotic and fragmented business situation, in 1930 the Macao-Portuguese government decided to openly bid for the exclusive patent operation rights of the casino. Since then, Haoxing, Taixing and SJM have appeared in turn, step by step turning the gaming industry into a prosperous industry.
While waiting for Ji Yukui's information, Meng Shaoyuan took Li Zhifeng to choose a casino:
Tengxing!
A medium sized casino.
Stud, Blackjack, Baccarat.
In short, almost all the gambling methods you can imagine can be found here.
Li Zhifeng tried a few games, but was unlucky and lost a lot of money.
Meng Shaoyuan initially waited and watched.
Afterwards, he found a blackjack table and sat down.
He is lucky and has more and more chips in front of him.
Seeing that it was almost done, I put away my chips and went to Baccarat again.
It seems that good luck has always been with Meng Shaoyuan. In Baccarat, Meng Shaoyuan made a lot of money again.
Li Zhifeng seemed to be happy.
It was as if these chips were all his.
Don’t even think about it. If Meng Shaoyuan doesn’t deduct your salary, it’s a good thing. Why do you still expect him to give you some money?
Winning more will naturally attract the attention of the casino.
The casino manager’s surname is Qi. No one knows his name, but his nickname is well-known throughout Macau:
All forty-seven!
Why such a weird nickname?
He is from another province and came to Macau to make a living. As a result, he has won forty-seven games in a row without losing a single game there.
In the end, it is said that he fell down at Tengxing Casino and stayed here as the general manager.
When Qi Forty-Seven saw how lucky this guest was, he immediately stepped forward and asked his men to give Meng Shaoyuan a cigarette:
"Your name?"
"Excuse me, my surname is Cai."
"Where did you get rich?"
"Guangzhou."
"You are in good luck today." Qi Sishiqi said: "Would you like to have a VIP room? Can I play with you?"
Unexpectedly, Meng Shaoyuan said: "You can't do it."
Qi Shiqi's expression changed: "You are looking down on others."
"I said you can't do it, you just can't do it." Meng Shaoyuan smiled and said, "Call your boss Shi out."
Did he come prepared to cause trouble?
Qi Sishiqi sneered: "It's not impossible to see our chairman. You have to pass my test first."
Meng Shaoyuan looked at him: "Are you sure?"
"OK!" Qi Sishiqi extended his hand: "Please invite me to the VIP room."
…
An hour later, Qi Forty-Seven walked out of the VIP room in a hurry, his face pale.
After a while, he walked into the VIP room accompanied by a slightly stout middle-aged man.
Everyone familiar with it knows.
This middle-aged man is the chairman of Tengxing:
Shi Chunping.
He is not only the chairman of Tengxing, but also a casino expert.
It is said that he won back Tengxing's patent management rights.
Under normal circumstances, Shi Chunping rarely takes action.
However, he just learned that the boss of his casino, Qi Forty-Seven, was killed and defeated by a young man.
And the other party named him to take action himself.
Only then did he startle.
As soon as he entered, he saw the young man sitting there, and Shi Chunping cupped his hands:
"You are Boss Cai from Guangzhou."
There was no expression on Meng Shaoyuan's face: "I'm here to gamble, not to chat."
Is this person speaking so rudely?
Shi Chunping was used to seeing all kinds of people, so he didn't get angry and sat down:
"What are you playing?"
"random."
"I heard that you killed our manager Qi in stud and suffered a disastrous defeat, so why don't we still play stud?"
"Can."
Meng Shaoyuan seemed too lazy to talk today.
As soon as the cards were dealt, Shi Chunping looked at his hole cards:
"five hundred."
"and."
Cards are dealt out one by one, chips are thrown out one by one.
As soon as the last card was dealt, Shi Chunping looked at the hole card again with a smile on his face:
"Everyone has random cards on their faces, so play big, ten thousand."
Qi Forty-Seven, who was watching the battle, swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The stakes are high.
"Why do you have to smile so reluctantly? Your smile has already betrayed your trump card."
Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "I'll give you 10,000, show the cards, I'll have a pair of kings!"
Shi Chunping stopped laughing.
He put the cards together and said, "You win."
The gamble continues.
Meng Shaoyuan seemed to be able to know his opponent's trump card.
Shi Chunping had a good trump card, but Meng Shaoyuan didn't follow.
Once his trump cards were bad, Meng Shaoyuan immediately placed a heavy bet.
The chips in front of Shi Chunping began to decrease.
Shi Chunping looked relatively calm.
Maybe it's starting to change.
In this card, Shi Chunping's four clear cards are all spades.
The smile returned to Shi Chunping's face: "Looks like I'm lucky, I got it right."
He pushed out all the chips in front of him.
"In the future, someone will definitely shoot a casino movie."
Meng Shaoyuan did not rush to follow, but said slowly: "There are all Gods of Gamblers and Gamblers in there. As long as you bet on Stud, it will be either a four of a kind or a straight flush.
Some people can get cards that they can't get even if they gamble thousands of hands, but they can get them casually. Because they have superb gambling skills, every one of them is a big cheat. What about you, Boss Shi, are you a gangster? "
"What do you mean?" Qi Shiqi on the side said coldly: "Are you trying to cause trouble?"
"I don't make trouble, I only gamble." Meng Shaoyuan was not afraid at all: "When it comes to cheating, I'm not as good as you. I know that your trump card must be a spade, you are cheating!"
Qi Forty-Seven was furious.
Just as he was about to ask someone to come in, Shi Chunping stopped him: "Boss Cai, this is Macau, you should be careful what you say."
How could Meng Shaoyuan be the one to pay attention? He continued: "I said, I'm not as good as you when it comes to cheating. But, you can't do real gambling!"
You can not!
Just like when he talked about Qi Forty-Seven before.
No matter how good-tempered Shi Chunping was, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Just as he was about to have an attack, Meng Shaoyuan said again: "You can't do it at work either!"
"What did you say?"
"I asked, do you have the best foreign wine in your casino?"
