Macau area, Lisboa Casino.

Facing the splendid "entertainment venue", Zhao Wenmu and his party stopped in their tracks.

Spinach is one of the most important industries in this city.

Even in the future, its status will be further enhanced.

It is no exaggeration to say that it has made outstanding and indelible contributions to the happy life of hundreds of thousands of Macao people.

And he continues to make contributions.

In 1997 alone, the Macau government's gambling revenue reached 6.1 billion Australian dollars, making it its largest and most stable financial source.

The population of Macau was only 410,000 that year.

Over the next 20 years, this income has always grown much faster than its population.

It is precisely because of this that this tiny place, which is almost unable to develop any industry, still has the highest happiness index in the world despite its dense population.

Certain groups in the mainland have made outstanding contributions.

Haha, if we continue talking, we will meet the river crab mythical beast again.

"There are so many mortgage and pawn shops around!"

Rong Xinyi looked around and sighed.

I have to say, her eyes are indeed very good.

There are various door signs with the word "bet" around the casinos, but most of these doors are relatively small and do not have conspicuous signs.

Apparently it was deliberately kept low-key.

"Many people will mortgage their belongings or some family property here when they lose money."

"At least 80% of these mortgaged assets will not be redeemed until maturity."

A Biao explained to everyone.

This is actually easy to understand. What does it mean when a person mortgages assets outside a casino?

It means that he has lost so much that he has almost lost his mind.

Then there is a high probability that the money he got from the mortgage will be lost quickly.

There is no longer any ability to redeem the collateral.

Looking at the splendid entertainment venue in front of them, everyone shuddered.

It seems as if what is in front of you is not a luxurious entertainment hotel, but a wild beast that eats people without spitting out bones.

The straight corridor paved with red carpet is the open mouth of the giant beast.

And those security guards and hostesses in uniforms who greet guests with smiles are just ghosts bowing at the feet of the giant beast.

In fact, these people are just small people working hard.

To say that they are scoundrels who work for the tiger is a bit flattering.

Those who act as brokers and thugs for casinos can be called ghosts.

"Let's go in and have a look. Gambling is not allowed."

Seeing everyone's hesitation, Zhao Wenmu waved his hand and said.

Now that I'm here, I have to go in and take a look.

Especially Zhao Wenqiu and Zheng Xiaowen, they have been thinking about the article about spinach for a long time.

How can I write an article without fieldwork?

After all, without investigation, there is no right to speak.

Although the entertainment venue with people coming and going and bright lights in front of them is in fierce conflict with the education they have always received, everyone is still willing to go in and visit with a critical eye.

Really witness the ugly and evil side of capitalism with your own eyes.

I am even more reminded to strengthen my faith and work hard.

Take a step forward.

"A Biao, protect them!"

"Brother Zheng, I'll leave it to you."

Zhao Wenmu told A Biao and Zheng Guangming that he had no intention of entering to find out.

When he decided to come to Macau, Zhao Wenmu made it clear to Zhao Jing that he would never enter the so-called "entertainment" here.

In fact, Zhao Wenmu had already noticed that when they first arrived in Xiangjiang and Rong Xinyi asked if they would go to Macau to play, Zhao Jing looked a little abnormal.

Later, one time, he finally confirmed that Zhao Jing was afraid.

Very scared.

Zhao Jing hid her hands in her sleeves and pinched them until her joints turned white, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

He was a little confused and thought Zhao Jing was remembering what happened that night.

I am worried that I will encounter danger again when I arrive in Macau.

"Ah Jing, Macau is very safe. There are basically no established societies there. It is much safer and more stable than Xiangjiang."

Zhao Wenmu consoled him.

Zhao Jing just tried her best to smile and said lightly, "Yeah."

Zhao Wenmu was still a little suspicious, but Zhao Jing didn't take the initiative to mention it, so he kept it in his mind silently.

Until one day Zhao Wenqiu mentioned spinach and said that they wanted to write a related article.

It was like a firework exploding in my mind.

Zhao Wenmu immediately understood what Zhao Jing was afraid of.

In her previous life, the final straw was when Zhao Wenmu used her last money to gamble.

Since then, in the decades until he came back after being reborn, Zhao Wenmu never entered a casino.

Well, I have never played Happy Bean games before.

For business reasons, he has been to Hong Kong, Macau, and Las Vegas, but he has never set foot in any casino.

For him, gambling is a memory from decades ago.

So I didn't react for a while.

"Ajing, don't worry, I promise I won't gamble anymore."

"When I go to Macau, I won't set foot in a casino, so don't be afraid."

Zhao Wenmu buried his head in her neck and murmured lowly.

Zhao Jing's face quickly flashed with sadness and sadness, but finally settled into a happy smile.

"Well, I believe you, little brother."

…

Zhao Jing originally wanted to stay with Zhao Wenmu, but he refused.

"You go in and watch Wenqiu and the others. I'm afraid these ladies' hands will be very itchy."

Zhao Wenmu touched her head and said with a smile.

"OK!"

Zhao Jing nodded.

Zhao Wenmu was right, she didn't trust Zhao Wenqiu and the others either.

Zhao Wenqiu and Rong Xinyi did not feel the offence of being distrusted at all. They hugged Zhao Jing's arms from left to right and jumped inside.

Zhao Jing turned around and waved.

A group of people entered surrounded by security guards and reception girls at the door.

Zhao Wenmu and a Rong family bodyguard sat down on the steps near the entrance of the Lisboa Casino.

There are many people sitting here to rest and watch the night view of Macau.

From time to time, various well-dressed people come to the entrance of the entertainment venue, and then enter inside surrounded by people.

Listening to the various accents, Zhao Wenmu found that the proportion of mainlanders was not very high.

This is normal. There are too few people who have the conditions to come to Macau right now.

The golden age of Macau's gambling industry has not yet arrived, but it is not far away.

Brokers, drivers, gangsters, grooms...all kinds of people come and go in front of the casino, and these people rely on this giant beast to survive.

Most of these people speak with local accents.

Correspondingly, there are very few locals among the players entering the casino.

What an irony!

The wisest people are always practitioners.

It's like a real drug lord never tastes it himself.

Another example is that neighbors who had a good life in childhood always liked to spread all kinds of colorful videos and magazines to the outside world, but they themselves had relatively strict control over these things.

The extravagant Louis XV once said, after I die, who will care about the floods?

By the same token, if these material or spiritual pollutions spread in other areas, what does it have to do with me?

Nothing wrong.
