Although it was not occupied by the Japanese army, the life of Macau people is 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 can be found everywhere.

There are also many people who sell their sons and daughters.

His condition is so miserable that it is hard to see.

But in various restaurants, casinos, and dance halls, they are still as prosperous and lively as ever.

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, Macau is now a "gambling city" full of exotic atmosphere, fantasy and confusion.

At its peak, Macau had more than 200 casinos.

In order to change the chaotic and fragmented business situation, the Macao-Portuguese government decided in 1930 to publicly invite bids for the exclusive franchise rights of casinos. Since then, Haoxing, Taixing and SJM have taken turns to appear, 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:

Get excited!

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.

His luck is good and he 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 as happy as anything.

It's as if these chips are all his.

You don’t even think about it, if Meng Shaoyuan doesn’t deduct your salary, it’s a good thing, but you still expect him to give you some money?

Winning too much 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 won forty-seven games in a row there without losing a single game.

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 subordinates to give Meng Shaoyuan a cigarette:

"Your name?"

"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? Let me 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 you come prepared to cause trouble?

Qi Sishiqi sneered: "It's not impossible to see our chairman, you have to get through me 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 and wanted 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 also 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 we should 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 and 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 bigger, ten thousand."

Qi Forty-Seven swallowed a mouthful of saliva while watching the battle.

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 ten thousand, show the cards, I'll be a pair!"

Shi Chunping stopped laughing.

He folded the cards and said, "You win."

The gambling game 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 hole cards were bad, Meng Shaoyuan immediately placed a heavy bet.
