More than two hours later, the car returned to Ruili and finally stopped in front of the hotel where Li Yang lived.
These more than two hours were absolutely like hell to Wu Du. Wu Du was vomiting as soon as he got off the bus. He had never been car sick before and actually got carsick this time in the van.
It was time for lunch this time. After thinking about it, Li Yang called Zhao Dezhu. Wu Du didn't book a hotel before he came. According to this young man's character, he probably wouldn't be able to stay in a hotel if it wasn't a good one.
Habit.
I'm afraid I'll have to ask Zhao Qi for help with this hotel arrangement.
Zhao Dezhu drove to Li Yang and the others in a short while. Zhao Dezhu drove a Focus today, which was his own car. The Audi yesterday belonged to Zhao Qi and was given to him specifically as a gift to Li Yang.
There was a nice hotel near the hotel. Wu Du, who didn't need to take a car, rested for more than ten minutes before following Li Yang and walking there.
After learning about Li Yang's request, Zhao Dezhu immediately called Zhao Qi, and soon the hotel matter was settled.
After Zhao Dezhu returned last night, he was immediately invited by Zhao Qi to ask a lot of questions, mainly about his relationship with Li Yang and Li Yang's personality. For the Zhao family, being able to have a good relationship with Jade Saint Li Yang
There is absolutely no harm in it. After all, their entire family runs the stone betting business.
This can be seen from the Shao family. If Mr. Shao had not had dealings with the Jade King, Shao Yuqiang would not have become a disciple of the Jade King, let alone ask the Jade King to help them prospect. A master of stone gambling.
, especially the role that top stone gambling masters can play, Zhao Qi, who lives on the border of Myanmar, knows very well.
Li Yang's request was such a small one, so it was naturally impossible for Zhao Qi to refuse. The hotel where Li Yang stayed was run by a friend of his, so getting a room was definitely a piece of cake.
After learning that the matter was solved easily, Li Yang also sighed. It is easier to do things if there is a relationship. No wonder Chinese people these days must first think about whether there is a relationship no matter what they do.
"Brother Li, if you have nothing to do this afternoon, I will take you to the gambling square to have a look!"
After eating, Zhao Dezhu immediately said something to Li Yang. Li Yang looked at Wu Du and finally nodded.
After eating, Wu Du's energy improved significantly and he no longer clamored to buy a car. After Li Yang called He Jie about the situation here, Wu Du was immediately called by He Jie and scolded him.
He also told him that as long as he was in Ruili, he must obey Li Yang in everything, otherwise he would go back early.
Wu Du liked to play with his cousin He Jie since he was a child. In addition, He Jie's ability was really good. Over time, He Jie became the object of Wu Du's admiration and study. Wu Du did not dare to say anything He Jie said.
refute.
He has some resentment towards Li Yang, but he can only bury it in his stomach. Li Yang is followed by He Lao's guards. As long as he follows, their every move will be known by He Lao. They are showing off their power here and go back.
I guess I'll get slapped with a brick wall.
When going to the Gambling Plaza, Wu Du refused to take Yang Zhigang's van, and finally got into Zhao Dezhu's Focus. This car was not a good one for him, but it was still much better than the shabby van.
When he heard that he was going to the Gambling Plaza, Yang Zhigang started the car and drove forward. Yang Zhigang had been to that place several times and the road was very familiar.
"Lao Yang, where are we going?"
Watching the car slowly leaving the city, Li Yang couldn't help but ask. Judging from the speed and direction of Lao Yang's driving, it seemed that he was going out of the city.
"Boss, aren't you going to the betting square?"
Yang Zhigang drove the car without looking back, while Zhao Dezhu's Focus was following behind the van without any sign of stopping.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Yang asked slowly: "The gambling square is not in the city?"
"Haha, boss, who told you that the Gambling Plaza is in the city? The Gambling Plaza is on the Ruili River in Nongdao Town at the junction of China and Myanmar. The scenery there is very good, but it is a pity that it has not been as good as every year in recent years!
"
Yang Zhigang laughed loudly, and Li Yang touched his nose. He made an empiricist mistake and thought that the Gambling Plaza was located in the city like Pingzhou. He never expected that it would be at the border.
Nongdao Town is about thirty kilometers away from the city. The road is well built, so they got there in half an hour.
The gambling square is not in the town, but next to a very small border village. It is a square rather than a large river beach. The edge of the gambling square is the Ruili River.
This place should be a good place for an outing or a bonfire picnic. Unfortunately, after the Ruili Casino was held here, the environment was severely damaged. The river beach is full of small and uneven houses, and there are many arbors set up here.
, making this place very ugly.
When Li Yang and others arrived here, there were already many people in the square. There were many people setting up stone gambling stalls under the pergola. There were some stone dissolving machines scattered nearby. There were really many people there.
Choose gambling stones here.
"Brother Li, this is the betting square!"
Zhao Dezhu and the others also arrived. Zhao Dezhu walked to Li Yang's side and couldn't help but sigh. There were already hundreds of various cars parked where they parked. Fortunately, the river beach was big enough, even if it was on the
Thousands of cars can be parked here, unlike when I was in Ping Chau where I always had to worry about parking spaces.
"Are gambling stones also sold here?"
Li Yang turned around and asked. According to Zhao Dezhu's introduction yesterday, gambling is purely gambling, and people are here to place bets. Gambling stones have become tools and become secondary things.
"Before the betting starts, many people like to come here to try their luck, which attracts many people selling gambling stones. After the betting starts, these stalls will all disappear, and they will not be allowed to do so at that time.
They sold it!"
Zhao Dezhu nodded and sighed in his heart. His family was also selling gambling stones here. This period was also a peak sales season for them, so naturally they would not give up their business.
"I understand, let's go down and have a look!"
Li Yang nodded. After Zhao Dezhu explained this, Li Yang immediately knew what was going on.
People who gamble on stones are very superstitious, and people who gamble are even more superstitious. After arriving, they all want to try their luck this time. The best way to test their luck is of course to gamble on stones. As long as these stones can be guessed accurately, guessing
Yes, then they will have full confidence in the next bet. If they guess wrong, some people may really be scared away.
However, not many people were scared away. The people who came to this place were all gamblers. Even if they were really unlucky, they still wanted to take a chance. This is also a common psychology of gamblers.
It's not long after noon now, when the weather is still very hot, there are already a lot of people down here, and some people who are obviously bosses are pointing at some woolen materials with their own stone gambling experts.
"Mr. Li, you are here!"
As soon as they reached the square, a fat middle-aged man ran up to Li Yang. Li Yang and Zhao Dezhu were stunned for a moment. Boss Meng, whom they had just met yesterday, was actually here.
"Hello, Boss Meng!"
Li Yang smiled and nodded, while Wu Du walked over from behind with an umbrella and sunglasses. He took off his glasses when he was next to Li Yang and looked up at the scorching sun in the sky. Wu Du looked very unhappy.
"Li Yang, is this place the Ruili Gambling Market? It doesn't look like it no matter how you look at it!"
Wu Du had a grimace on his face. He originally thought that Ruili Gambling was just a party for betting on stones, so he thought he would come and join in the fun. This time, he happened to have something to run out of, so he came after Li Yang.
, but he didn’t expect that everything here was completely different from what he imagined, which disappointed him very much.
"It doesn't look like it to me, but here it is!"
Li Yang shook his head helplessly. Boss Meng looked at Wu Du with an expression of surprise, and even more excitement flashed in his eyes. However, this expression disappeared quickly, and no one noticed except him.
"Mr. Li, who is this little brother?"
Boss Meng quickly took a step forward with a smile and asked Li Yang with a smile. He kept looking at Wu Du while asking.
"He, he is a friend of mine who came to play with me. His name is Wu Du. He just graduated this year!"
Li Yang immediately pulled Wu Du over to introduce him. Wu Du had a good attitude towards Li Yang. He was obviously coping with the chubby boss and just agreed casually.
"Li Yang, you take a look first, I'll take a rest over there!"
Within a few minutes, Wu Du shook his head and hid in a place selling cold drinks. This cold drink place was also a very ordinary shed with ventilation on all sides. The tables inside were all made of wood, but there were a few large fans.
It was blowing inside, and many people were drinking and cooling off inside.
"Sorry, he just graduated, that's it!"
Wu Du's departure made Li Yang very embarrassed, so he had to turn around and explain to Boss Meng. What he didn't expect was that Boss Meng actually said it was okay and seemed very understanding.
Li Yang was a little confused about Boss Meng's attitude, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Boss Meng was worried about his little ninety-nine.
Boss Meng knows Wu Du, but he has only met him once, which was a year ago. He did not expect that Wu Du would appear here, and his relationship with Li Yang was so good. From this point alone, he would have to treat Li Yang again.
estimate.
Boss Meng met Wu Du by chance. At this time last year, the Fujian Provincial Government held an economic development exchange meeting, and he was invited.
This meeting was chaired by Vice Governor Wu of Fujian Province. It was at this meeting that he met Wu Du. At that time, Wu Du was just an ordinary young man who followed Vice Governor Wu. Later, he found out about this young man by asking him
He turned out to be the son of Vice Governor Wu.
There were many people attending the meeting that day. Wu Du only visited for his graduation thesis and didn't know anyone, so he forgot about Boss Meng.
However, Boss Meng did not forget him and recognized him at a glance. The most important thing was not Wu Du, but his father. At the recent *** meeting, the subtitle of Vice Governor Wu had been removed.
Become an upright feudal official.
"Li Yang!"
Before Boss Meng finished playing Xiao Jiujiu, another shout of surprise came from the distance. Li Yang turned around in shock. He didn't expect that as soon as he arrived at the gambling square, he met two acquaintances in succession.
