Chapter 397 Deliberate provocation (please recommend and vote monthly)
It was noon, which should have been a relatively quiet time of day for such places. However, the Wheeldon Club, located in Caojiadu, which was called "the bad place in the west of Shanghai" by major English newspapers, was already full of customers at this moment.
The door is open, and the canopy is gathered.
If Zhang Xiaolin's Restaurant No. 181 focuses on the "four whites" strategy of eating, drinking, sucking and sitting for free, then the most attractive thing about Wu Shibao's Wheeldon is the waitress who is known as the "one in a hundred"
Already.
This gangster who has been working at the bottom of the beach in Shanghai since he was a child knows very well how attractive women, especially beautiful women, are to men, so he racked his brains and participated in a series of movies that make people's blood surge instantly just by hearing their names.
project.
Here, eating melon seeds, having tea party, taking a mandarin duck bath, etc. can only be regarded as child's play, but what really makes those men flock to it and talk about it is the repertoire every Saturday night: the four-day competition.
The so-called Four Dans refer to the four top oirans carefully selected from the so-called "one in a hundred" waitresses based on the four famous dandans of Peking Opera. Just as the four famous dandans each have their own characteristics and form their own school, the four oirans also have their own styles.
Needless to say, Wu Shibao has various special skills, exquisite appearance and proud figure, and Wu Shibao has achieved the ultimate differentiation based on advanced concepts far beyond this era.
For example, in Peking opera, there are four major female actors, Mei, Cheng, Xun, and Shang, who are all very beautiful. I will create a competition between the four famous flowers of peony, narcissus, autumn chrysanthemum, and camellia; you have "like", "singing", and "stick".
"", "Lang" each have their own strengths, I have "elegance", "beautiful", "beautiful", and "arrogance" are equally matched.
In addition, the weekly four-day competition has greatly aroused men's comparison and desire to win. There are many people who are willing to spend a lot of money on this. This kind of business that exploits desire and human nature, although it is said that
It's extremely disgraceful to go out, but it doesn't affect Wu Shibao, the boss behind the scenes, making a lot of money.
"Isn't today just Saturday? In other words, most of these guys are here for the Four Days competition in the evening?" After listening to Li Qiang's introduction, Tang Shengming took another look at the almost-unprecedented people in front of the club.
Said the guy who was about to write the word "can't wait" on his face.
"Brother Tang, are you planning to join in the fun?"
"To tell you the truth, brother Ming, my other hobby is just joining in the fun! Let's go!"
After saying that, Tang Shengming walked in immediately, and Li Qiang ran after him without saying a word.
As soon as he entered the door, a middle-aged man who looked like a manager immediately took the initiative to greet him and greeted him warmly: "The two gentlemen looked at each other. It must be the first time for you to come to our place, right?"
Tang Shengming nodded appreciatively after hearing this, "Good eyesight! What do you call it?"
"My surname is Zhao. I am the steward here. These two gentlemen are new here. If you don't mind, I can be the guide so that you can have a preliminary understanding of our place. How about that?"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Shengming waved his hand and refused without thinking: "No need, I don't like this feeling of being arranged. In comparison, it is more suitable for me to do whatever I want."
"That's the case, then I won't disturb you two." After saying that, Manager Zhao bowed slightly to Tang Shengming apologetically, and then returned to his original post.
"This Manager Zhao has really vicious vision! I never thought that Wu Shibao, the unlearned and unskilled person in the rumors, actually has such a number one person under his command. No wonder he can make this business prosperous."
After Tang Shengming said something with emotion, he took Li Qiang and spent nearly two hours touring the club up and down, inside and out.
The entire building has a total of four floors. The first floor is the lobby and comprehensive service area. The second floor is a super luxurious ballroom that integrates a cafe, stage, and bar. The casino and smoking room are on the third floor. Above that is the club’s office.
It is a zone and is generally not open to the public.
"Brother, can you help me change some chips?" After walking around, Tang Shengming said to Li Qiang.
"Of course, big brother, wait a moment, little brother will come as soon as he goes!"
However, when Li Qiang got up to change chips, Tang Shengming left his original position and went straight to the coffee shop on the second floor.
As soon as he entered the door, Tang Shengming began to search with all his heart. Soon, he locked his eyes on a familiar face, walked over quickly, and sat down opposite him.
"Are you the river shrimp?" the man asked.
Seeing Tang Shengming nod, the man couldn't help but smile bitterly, "To be honest, I really didn't expect that it would be you who came here to join me."
Unexpectedly, Tang Shengming couldn't help laughing and scolding after hearing this: "I said 'crazy', when did you become such a mother-in-law? This is not like your style of doing things at all!"
However, Wang Tianfeng just snorted and said nothing.
Tang Shengming didn't care and continued to mind his own business: "Okay, let's get down to business. I have two purposes for coming here this time. One is to infiltrate the Wang Puppet Government as a convert; the other is to...
Take over from 'Venom' and lead and implement the second phase of the 'Dead Time' plan."
"You take the lead? What about 'Venomous Snake'?"
"Of course there are other plans for this summit, so you don't need to worry about it." As he said this, Tang Shengming took out a mini handover paper from his arms and threw it to Wang Tianfeng, "We will use this connection from now on. You must be more careful.
, the war will be won!"
"The same goes for you, you will win if you fight!"
After saying this, Wang Tianfeng stood up and left, and Tang Shengming also returned to the casino on the third floor.
"Brother Tang, where have you been just now? I'm so anxious!" He finally found Tang Shengming's figure in the crowd, and Li Qiang immediately ran over and said anxiously.
Tang Shengming explained apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother. Brother, I don't know if I ate something wrong in the morning. My stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable, so I went to the bathroom."
"Not feeling well? Do you want to see a doctor first?"
"No, I'm much better after going to the toilet. There's no need to see a doctor." At this point, Tang Shengming paused for a moment before continuing to ask, "Have the chips been changed?"
"It's changed." After saying that, Li Qiang handed him the two thousand chips he had just changed, "Have you seen enough?"
"That's enough, let's go, today I'm going to let you see your elder brother and my gambling skills!"
ten minutes later.
"...Brother, how about...I go back and exchange some more chips?" Li Qiang said cautiously when he saw that Tang Shengming had lost and only had the last ten yuan chip left.
Unexpectedly, these words made Tang Shengming, who had just praised Haikou in front of him, blush all of a sudden and kept mumbling, "How could this happen? There is no reason? This is really evil!"
Seeing that Tang Shengming was clearly in a losing state at this time, the croupier's face showed a proud smile. Naturally, Li Qiang couldn't see that something was wrong with the situation, but just as he was about to suggest something.
When Tang Shengming took a break and calmed down, the other party suddenly turned his head and said: "Go, help me change another 10,000 chips!"
Hearing this, Li Qiang hesitated for a moment, "Brother, how about we take a rest first? We'll see you later..."
"Why rest? I have already lost so much. Even if it is a round, it should be my turn to win. Listen to me, it is correct! Go and change!"
Li Qiang had no choice but to come back in exchange for 10,000 yuan in chips.
However, I don’t know whether it was because Tang Shengming had lost his mind due to the loss, or for some other reason. As soon as he got the 10,000 yuan in chips, he pressed on them, and the result was naturally the same as before. In the blink of an eye, someone else won.
pocket.
"Brother..."
"Go and get another ten thousand back."
In this way, in less than ten minutes, Li Qiang ran back and forth five times, each time with 10,000 yuan in chips, while Tang Shengming continued as before, after getting the chips, he started playing hard
Bet without blinking an eye.
Such a "special" gambling method naturally attracted the attention of many people, and soon the gambling table where the two of them were sitting was surrounded by gamblers on three levels inside and three outside.
And it wasn't until Tang Shengming lost all the 50,000 yuan in chips that the croupier, who was still secretly happy in his heart, suddenly felt something bad and took the initiative to persuade him, "Sir, you have just been
You’ve lost enough, why don’t you go aside and rest for a while, and then come back to play when you’re well rested?”
Before he finished speaking, Tang Shengming simply lowered his face and said word by word: "Why, I'm not afraid even after losing so much. Why are you, the winner, afraid? To tell you the truth, originally, what happened?
, I just want to make a few bets for fun, and I don’t care about winning or losing at all. I have given you the chance, and it was five times! But you have kicked your nose and face again and again, I’m sorry.
, today I will stay with you until the end! Deal the cards!"
"Yes! Deal the cards!"
"Licensing!"
As soon as these words came out, all the gamblers around looked at the excitement and started shouting. The croupier was immediately confused and froze on the spot.
And at this moment, a hoarse voice rang out from outside the crowd, "Cena, which blind little red guy dares to cause trouble on my territory?"
Before he finished speaking, the crowd that was still crowded around them automatically parted to the left and right, making way for a way. Then Wu Shibao, who was dressed in a black suit and dressed like five people, walked up to Tang Shengming and Li Qiang.
.
"Yo! Who do I think this is? Isn't this Section Chief Ming? What a rare visitor. How come you have time to come to my place today?"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just heard that Captain Wu is a good businessman and makes a lot of money every day, so I came here to study. I didn't expect that your tuition fees are really not cheap!"
Hearing this, Wu Shibao couldn't help but squinted his eyes, "Chief Ming, who in Shanghai doesn't know that your Ming family has a big business, so you can't even afford such a small amount of tuition, right?"
"It's so noisy!" As soon as Wu Shibao finished speaking, Tang Shengming, who was still sitting at the gambling table, slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How do you run this casino? You have already placed your bets, why not?
Licensing?"
"This..." As soon as these words came out, the dealer couldn't help but be stunned, and then quickly looked at Wu Shibao opposite.
"What do you think he's doing? I told you to deal the cards! Do you hear me?"
In just a few words, Wu Shibao's attention was successfully diverted, "Ah San, deal him the cards!"
Hearing this, the dealer named Ah San started dealing the cards under tremendous psychological pressure.
"The banker has seven points, the player has eight points, and the player wins." After the cards were opened, the croupier pushed the chips in front of Tang Shengming and said, "Sir, these are the chips for you to win this round."
Unexpectedly, Tang Shengming didn't even look at the chips. He stood up and said, "I'm sorry to disturb everyone's enjoyment. I'll just treat these chips as my apology. Let's share them!"
As soon as these words came out, the gamblers who were still watching the excitement were all stunned on the spot. Then they cheered and swarmed forward, desperately scrambling for the chips on the gambling table. The scene was like a hand-to-hand combat.
The battlefield will be even more chaotic.
"Let's go!" Tang Shengming admired his "masterpiece" with great satisfaction for a while, then called Li Qiang and left the casino gracefully.
After coming out of the casino, the two of them went to the coffee shop on the first floor.
"Brother Ming, I can't see that you are quite calm! I thought you would be scared away by me on the spot! But there is one thing I am curious about. When did you realize that I was deliberately losing money to
His?" Tang Shengming asked with a half-smile.
Li Qiang didn't hide anything and replied truthfully: "When you have ten yuan in chips left."
"Really? You could already see it at that time? Are my acting skills that bad?"
Hearing this, Li Qiang showed an awkward but polite smile, and then took the opportunity to change the topic, "But brother, I still don't know something, why do you want to lose money on purpose?"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Shengming blurted out without thinking: "You shouldn't ask me this question, but you should ask yourself!"
"Ask me?"
"Yes, the reason why you brought me here is because you want me to have a relationship with that Wu Shibao. Am I right?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang set off huge waves in his heart. Then his eyes widened and his face was filled with disbelief.
But Tang Shengming still drank coffee calmly and said slowly: "Don't look at me like that. Although I am a dandy, I am not a fool. I naturally understand the principle of 'there is no free lunch in the world'. It just makes me think about everything."
What doesn’t make sense is that you two both work for the new government, brother, why do you have to have trouble with him?”
