Chapter 94: Broken Tooth Colt(1/5)
The Hong Kong and Macau Ferry Terminal is the current main wharf port of Hong Kong Comprehensive City. It was opened on September 27, 1985. It is located in the Shun Tak Center on Hong Kong Island and provides high-speed passenger ferry services between Hong Kong Comprehensive City and Macau. There are still five days left before the start of the God of Gamblers Competition.
, Lei Yaoyang, who was specially granted leave by the Police Department, boarded the ship here alone with his bare hands and wearing a black suit.
In fact, there are many people who want to go with Lei Yaoyang when they go to Macau to participate in the God of Gamblers Competition. However, Lei Yaoyang believes that Macau is the territory of the He family. Miss He has also arranged the manpower and will take care of them in Macau.
There are too many people, but it has no effect.
Everyone in Hong Kong Comprehensive City is usually very busy, including Ding Yao, who really wants to watch the game and wait until the God of Gamblers Competition officially starts.
In the 1980s, there were already a lot of people traveling between Hong Kong and Macao. A passenger ship took hundreds of people and set off as soon as it arrived. Lei Yaoyang sat quietly in his own seat. He was lucky. He was close to the sea and there was no one around him.
, considered an exclusive location.
"Scratch the prize, it's a big scratch. It only costs ten yuan. If you try your luck, you can get up to 100,000 yuan. Miss, do you want one?"
"Sir, let's try your luck. It's only ten yuan. Looking at your clothes, is that money?"
"Oh, sir, looking at your rosy face, I know that your fortune is very good. Spend ten yuan and you may win a grand prize of ten thousand yuan. How about you give it a try?"
Not far away from the passenger ship, something very interesting happened.
Five or six young people all held a bunch of lottery tickets in their hands and started selling them while shouting.
Looking at the image of several young people, they are basically young and Dangerous, just hanging out on the street, but their words are polite and polite, but they are not at all arrogant and vicious like ordinary young and Dangerous people.
Especially the leader, who is thirty years old, charming and handsome, but has a very angry look on his eyebrows that gives people a gloomy and unkind feeling. To put it bluntly, he is not a good person at first glance, but he speaks softly and talks with everyone on the cruise ship.
The customers were all smiling, but their business didn't look good. According to Lei Yaoyang's visual inspection, only a dozen young people were buying, and most of them were not interested.
If you think about it carefully you should also:
What these people call lottery tickets is not a sports lottery, a welfare lottery, or a Mark Six lottery. Who knows where the so-called grand prize of 100,000 yuan comes from? Is there no grand prize at all?
People in the Hong Kong Comprehensive Market like to take advantage of small things, but they are very wary of the outside world. Even if they pay ten yuan, they are not willing to pay for it in vain.
While Lei Yaoyang was watching the excitement, the young and Dangerous boy who was leading the way had already walked up to Lei Yaoyang and said softly and politely:
"Sir, scratch the lottery tickets and try your luck!"
Taking a boat ride was boring. Lei Yaoyang thought this group of people was more interesting and responded with a smile:
"When you cross the sea, of course you go to the casino to try your luck. If you use your luck here now, when you get to the casino, all your luck will be used up. Wouldn't it be miserable?"
It stands to reason that this statement would be a bit derogatory to the other party's lottery business.
But when the young and Dangerous boy heard this, he was not angry but happy, his eyes lit up, he came close to Lei Yaoyang and said mysteriously:
"Sir, are you going to Macau to play a few games? Are there any venues you are familiar with? If you don't want to give up, I know a few venues are newly opened, and the dealers are all new, so it's easy to win money now."
"Oh!"
Lei Yaoyang was happy and said:
"In addition to selling lottery tickets, does this friend also work part-time as a solicitor? Nine times out of ten he gambles and cheats. I don't want to go to those small places."
Perhaps seeing Lei Yaoyang wearing a famous brand suit, Young and Dangerous thought he was the big boss, so he simply sat next to Lei Yaoyang and explained:
"This is not a small business, sir. We brothers are on the passenger ship every day and we will not damage our own sign."
"Macau Hexin Tycoon, sir, you must have heard of it. The casinos I introduced are all newly opened by Hexin Tycoon. They have only been open for ten days. It is much easier to win than the old casinos."
Young and Dangerous said with a mysterious look:
"You can tell by the look on your face that you must be a wealthy businessman."
"Sir, you should also know the rules of the casino. New casinos will give gamblers some benefits and give money to gamblers to win. If you go to play now, you will be in time."
What this young and Dangerous boy said is not false at all.
Be it Macau, Hong Kong Mart, or even Las Vegas, as long as the gambling industry is open, there will be absolutely no tricks in the first one or two weeks, and they will even deliberately lose some money to gamblers to gain popularity.
However, Lei Yaoyang was not interested in this at this time. Instead, he was very interested in Young and Dangerous and said in surprise:
"I really can't tell. Are you still from the He family in Macau?"
Well……
A hint of gloom flashed in the young and Dangerous boy's eyes, and his smile became a little forced:
"Sir, you are joking. How can a little gangster like me be qualified to enter the He family?"
"You are not from the He family, so why are you soliciting customers for them?"
Lei Yaoyang looked at the handsome young and Dangerous boy curiously and said that the young and Dangerous boy seemed very interested in seeing Lei Yaoyang and seemed to be interested in talking, and said with a wry smile:
"He Xin Tycoon is famous all over the world. No one in Southeast Asia knows about He Xin Tycoon's business. There is no need to solicit customers at all, and there are many people who support him."
"I'm not soliciting customers for He's, I'm just exchanging chips to make a little money."
"So that's it!"
Lei Yaoyang suddenly understood what Young and Dangerous meant.
Substitution chips are also called stacking chips.
In addition to using connections to obtain some cheap chips and reselling them to customers to make money, they sometimes also introduce gamblers to borrow loan sharks to earn some money. This group of people in Macau are called Junket Operators. They are the same as the Young and Dangerous Boys in Hong Kong Comprehensive Market.
It's just a taste of Jianghu.
After understanding this, Lei Yaoyang didn't look down on the former Young and Dangerous guy. Instead, he was more interested in doing the junk code business, which was usually done in various casinos in Macau. You are a very interesting person, and you even went on a cruise ship to do business.
"By the way, you are selling lottery tickets on a cruise ship, and the captain doesn't care?"
"From the accent of your husband, he should be from Hong Kong, and he rarely goes to Macau!"
The young and Dangerous boy glanced at Lei Yaoyang and said:
"Yeah, how do you know?"
Lei Yaoyang nodded.
"It's not that easy to work as a jackpot operator in Macau. I'm from the Hong Kong Comprehensive Market. You should know about those people who come out to work in the Hong Kong Comprehensive Market, right?"
As Lei Yaoyang nodded again, the young and Dangerous boy explained:
"Those who come out have their own territory and look for food on their own territory. We Macau Junket Operators have also divided our territories and can only look for food on our own territory."
"The major casinos that the gentleman mentioned have long been taken over by those with backends. Small gangsters like us are not qualified to go to those places except to bring customers there ourselves." Or even sell lottery tickets on passenger ships.
It's easy, just give the captain one's income and no one will talk."
"After all, everyone has to live, and the captain will not have trouble with money."
Young and Dangerous just said a few words, but Lei Yaoyang could hear the sadness in them.
To be honest, Lei Yaoyang admired the person in front of him:
But not every young and Dangerous boy has such a mind to think of selling lottery tickets on a passenger ship.
Not every young and Dangerous kid can look so cool and look like a hawker, trying to make fun of himself on a passenger ship.
A pair of eagle eyes made no secret of admiration, Lei Yaoyang said:
"You're quite smart. We've been chatting for so long and you don't know what to call me?"
Young and Dangerous obviously also heard Lei Yaoyang's kindness. He was also very happy when this man in a designer suit was polite to him.
"My name is Yi Guoju, but everyone calls me Beng Yaju."
Young and Dangerous introduced himself and showed a hearty smile at the same time. If you look closely, you can see that his front teeth are different from other teeth. They are whiter in color. They are obviously dentures. "Broken Tooth Horse?"
When Lei Yaoyang heard this name, he was shocked. It turned out to be him, the madman who dominated Macau in the 1990s and was even featured in Time magazine. He was called the "Last Godfather".
I didn't expect that he would be like this before he started his career, being polite and willing to give up all face for the sake of life.
No wonder this person will achieve extraordinary things in the future. It is not unreasonable to know who the person in front of him is. Lei Yaoyang is more interested in this person and continues to chat:
"Bengyaju, do you mind if I call you Aju?"
"The name is what people call you. You can call me whatever you want, sir."
Beng Yaxuan waved his hand indifferently
"Okay, Ah Ju, since you know that the jackpot business of large and small casinos is controlled by the group, you have never thought of taking refuge in others? In this case, wouldn't your life be much better?"
Lei Yaoyang asked questions.
Yaju waved his hand again, a light flashed in his eyes, and said:
"If you rely on others, it will be difficult to get ahead. Macau is so big, there is always a chance. Maybe one day I can find a casino that is willing to let me do the jackpot."
"I don't dare to say anything else. When it comes to doing business, I will definitely be no worse than those groups. As long as I am given the opportunity to be on an equal footing with them, how difficult can it be?"
Hahaha……!
Lei Yaoyang laughed heartily and did not shy away from hearing this.
"Sir, do you think I'm exaggerating?"
Bengyaju's expression turned a bit bad and he asked immediately.
Lei Yaoyang didn't answer, pointed at the lottery ticket in Bengyaju's hand and said:
"Do you really have a grand prize of 10,000 yuan in these lottery tickets?"
