Chapter 295: There is murderous intent on the fingertips
"Buy it and let it go! Buy it and let it go!" A man wearing a green shirt stepped on the bench with one foot and shouted loudly, urging the gamblers around him to place their bets quickly.
As a banker in a gambling house, there is a rake no matter whether you win or lose. It is about 1 in 50, with a minimum of one penny. In other words, no matter who wins in this big market, he needs to give a rake to the gambling house. If you bet two hundred taels of silver at a time
, then you need to pump four taels of water to the gambling house. Although it may not seem like much, but with the huge transaction volume, it is a very considerable income.
Of course, this is only one of the main businesses of Shahe Casino. The other one is from the brokers. Shahe Casino hires these brokers to compensate customers for their bets, not because of high service awareness, but to stimulate betting.
"Oh, I'm unlucky today, I lost two taels of silver! I won't play anymore!"
"Sir, the hand just now was actually a little worse! It is said that fortune turns around, and I have lost five times in a row. I am more likely to win the next hand! Do you think you have to keep the money you got?
A waste of time?"
"Well, that's true, but I didn't bring so much today!"
"Sir, it doesn't matter if you don't have any cash. You can deposit any valuables or house deeds. Of course, for the sake of our regular customers, we can also get you some money. We are here nine out of ten!"
…
This kind of dialogue will appear in every corner of the gambling house. Even those gamblers who bet on the red eye have a long queue at the broker. Each person distributes the numbers individually, selects the room through the lottery, and, um, borrows the money through the lottery.
What interest rate is too expensive?
If you don’t want it, then the next one will come!
When Yi Xifeng came here, he could see the operation mode of the gambling house. He was secretly shocked and said: This gambling house is so similar to the stock market in the previous life. The only drawback is that the gambling house cannot call you to join the group.
, which teacher should I listen to for guidance? And these broker lending behaviors are almost the same as those in the booming real estate market in previous lives.
Especially the liveliness of the lottery selection, and the stimulation of the sales ladies, er, brokers accompanying the gamblers, these gamblers spent the money they borrowed, as if they didn't have to pay it back, again regardless of the consequences.
Enter the gambling market.
…
Just when the man in green shirt who was rolling the dice was about to lift the dice cup, a finger suddenly appeared on top of the dice cup and held down the dice cup that was about to be lifted.
The man's eyes widened, and then he looked up along the inconspicuous finger and found that it was a young man in brocade clothes.
"My nanny..."
The man in green clothes immediately wanted to explode violently. The other fist that was not holding something was already raised, and he was about to punch the opponent. The boy behind the young man in golden clothes was so scared that he was scared to death when he saw this scene, and shouted hoarsely.
:"do not move!"
This roar was so sudden that the gamblers around the table were startled and they quickly turned their heads to look here.
Seeing the man in green shirt looking at him in shock, the broker's boy immediately jumped forward and hugged the man in green shirt's raised fist.
"Brother, you are sloppy, you are sloppy! The idea is tough, the idea is tough!" The boy said while winking at the man in green shirt.
The man glanced at Zhang Ming, who was wearing brocade clothes in front of him, and saw that his figure was not strong, but even a little thin, and his face also showed a sick look, so he asked doubtfully: "A hard idea?"
"Hard! Hard enough!..." The broker dressed as a boy immediately nodded in response.
The man in green shirt had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart and asked in a cold voice: "Is there anything wrong with this guest?"
Zhang Ming grinned and said, "I'll bet one hundred taels."
The man in green shirt raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Okay, just put the money on the table!"
Seeing that the young man in jinyi only held down the dice cup and did not place any money on it, the man reminded him. 59 Library
"Silver?" Zhang Ming asked with a smile. The boy on the side immediately shouted: "Silver? Yes, yes, yes, the silver is here! Give way, everyone."
As he spoke, the boy took out two dark green silver notes from his arms and slapped them on the table.
Seeing the broker take action, everyone understood that this person was probably worth something valuable, and turned out to be an unlucky guy who was eager to gamble. Gamblers have seen this kind of person a lot, and most of them ended up miserable, but the person in front of them was so far away.
The tragic end seems to be getting closer and closer.
"I asked, what is this man's background? How can he spend a hundred taels of silver at once?"
"Who knows? I think the master is desperate and ready to get it back."
"I think so, hey, there's a good show to watch."
…
The man in green shirt sitting at the bank glanced at Zhang Ming and said with a smile: "Does the guest officer bet on the big one? Or on the small one?"
The young man looked at the board and saw that it was almost the same whether he bet more or less. There were more than a dozen people gathered here, and each bet amounted to nearly a hundred taels. With this move, he didn't make much, no matter whether he won or lost.
"I don't bet on big or small, I want to bet on number!" Zhang Ming said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, all the gamblers present were in an uproar. Usually when you throw dice, you bet big or small. Although you don't make much, luckily you win half and half, and the chance of winning is half.
But betting on numbers is different. Three dice have a total of eighteen numbers, so the winning record is much smaller.
However, if you can guess correctly, you will gain a lot. You can press the bet amount and liquidate it five times. And the remaining amount will be advanced by the gambling house.
Calculated this way, if Zhang Ming can hit the bet this time, in addition to the income of nearly one hundred taels on the market, the gambling house will give him another four hundred taels.
The man in green shirt chuckled and said: "Of course, what number do you want to bet on?"
"Thirteen!"
The young man in brocade clothes said concisely.
"Haha, this number is unlucky? Did you choose it?"
At this moment, the man in green shirt felt that this person was just someone who had been taken advantage of. Subconsciously, he even changed his address to Zhang Ming, from "guest officer" to "your Excellency".
It seems that he has become more respectful, but in fact this respect is not for Zhang Ming, but for the snowflake silver that is about to be received!
"Buy it and leave it! Buy it and leave it!" The man shouted twice. Seeing the excitement of the game, one after another added more.
Seeing that everyone had already made their purchase, Zhang Ming also removed his hand from the dice cup, and the man in green shirt opened the dice cup directly!
Four, six, three! Thirteen o'clock!
Everyone was stunned at first, and then went into an uproar, including many people who were watching the show.
"What? It's really thirteen o'clock! How could it be such a coincidence!" The man in green shirt suddenly changed his face! This loss of blood made the man furious.
"You! You cheated! You cheated!" the man in green shirt yelled.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of gamblers immediately turned their attention to Zhang Ming. However, the young man in brocade didn't know much. He raised his finger and pointed at the man in blue shirt sitting on the banker, and said calmly: "I bet on the numbers, you sit on the banker, you
