Chapter 205 Phoenix City
On August 13, near noon, Qin Di wore a blue cloth robe and came to the casino of Liuhe Hotel.
In these days, casinos are doing business openly, not underground casinos.
The casino was crowded and very noisy.
Qin Di looked around and found that it was mainly Paijiu, mahjong, playing cards, and throwing tines, and there were no later generations of tigers/machines and other equipment.
He walked around the casino and found his two nephews, Qin Yuankong and Qin Yuanlong.
For some reason, Qin Yuanlong was shaking the color, and shaking it was as decent, while Qin Yuankong was watching from the side.
Qin Yuanlong shook the colored tube and buckled it on the table, allowing the gambler to place his bet.
Everyone bets one after another, but finally revealed the cup and most of them lost the bet.
Qin Yuanlong laughed, seemed very proud, and then began to shake again.
This time, there were very few people who bet. Qin Di touched five oceans and threw them on the table.
Qin Yuanlong and Qin Yuankong saw that it was him and quickly shouted: "Uncle, why are you here?"
Qin Di said: "I'll talk about it after the bet." Then he opened the cup, and the result was negligent.
Qin Yuankong smiled and said, "Uncle, you are so lucky!"
People next to them asked: "Who is this person? He was hit as soon as he came up?"
Someone said: "You don't even know him? He is the famous Master Qin!"
"Huh, it turns out it's him. He is indeed a first-class playboy. He is proficient in eating, drinking, gamblers and gambling..."
Qin Di glanced at the man and said to his two nephews: "I'll treat you to lunch and talk to you by the way."
The two followed him out of the casino and came to a nearby tavern.
Qin Yuanlong looked around and seemed very dissatisfied: "Uncle, you are a big man. If you take us out for dinner, you have to find a big restaurant. Look at this place, there are not even customers, and you don't know if the dishes you cook can be eaten!"
Qin Yuankong didn't say anything, as if he had become much more calm.
Qin Di ignored it and found a seat by the window to sit down, asked the boss to come over, ordered a few dishes, and then asked, "How is it? How do you feel when you stay in the casino for so long?"
Qin Yuanlong smiled and said, "It's still fun in the casino. I have thought about several gambling techniques, but in the end I became obsessed with the shaking cup."
Qin Yuankong said, "Uncle, I'm tired of staying here."
Qin Di asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Qin Yuankong shook his head and said, "After all, the casino belongs to Boss Huang. If it is our Qin family, it can be managed well. I like management and don't like gambling."
Qin Di said: "It is not easy to be a good casino owner."
Qin Yuankong said: "Uncle, you are right. We have been in the casino for so long and probably understand the methods behind it."
Qin Yuanlong also said, "Yes, there are many means that cannot be used. Nine out of ten people who enter will lose."
Qin Di said: "There are two major casinos in the world today. One is in Monaco, Europe, which has a history of hundreds of years; the other is in Las Vegas, the United States, which started in 1931 and has just opened for three or four years. I want to send you abroad to these two casinos and observe and learn for three months. Do you want to go?"
Qin Yuankong's eyes lit up and said, "Of course I want to go, but I don't know how to speak foreign languages. What should I do?"
Qin Di smiled and said, "I have discussed with Boss Du and am preparing to pay some money to open a new gambling city in the Magic City. The Qin family occupies 70% of the shares. I ask Boss Du to send a few people to go abroad with you. First go to Hongmen in San Francisco, find a few Chinese bodyguards and translators there, and then go to Las Vegas and Monte Carlo. When you come back after a walk, the gambling city will be built. At that time, I will let you manage the behind-the-scenes and ask Boss Du to send someone to help."
"Uncle, you think so thoughtfully. If this is the case, I will definitely be willing to go!"
"Uncle, I want to go out and have a look."
"When I'm ready, I'll send you all together."
Qin Yuanlong asked happily: "Uncle, what's the name of our casino?"
Qin Di said: "It's called 'phoenix city'."
"Ah? What does this mean?"
"It's 'Phoenix City'! The meaning of phoenix Nirvana."
In the later generations, there were four major gambling cities in the world. In addition to the above two, there were also Atlantic City in Macau and the United States. During the Republic of China, Macau's gambling industry had it, but it was not large in scale, and Atlantic City had not yet opened.
Qin Di said: "Opening a casino in China has a bad reputation, so I was scruples and made special arrangements. This casino belongs to Boss Du on the surface, but in fact it belongs to our Qin family. I will pay all the capital, and Boss Du is responsible for the work. Of course, he also needs to rely on his reputation."
Qin Yuankong said: "That's it? Isn't it too much to give him 30% of the shares?"
Qin Di smiled and said, "This gambling city is just an experimental product and will close in at most ten years. Then we will change places and open the largest casino in Asia! If you two brothers compete with each other, I will let you be the boss. If you can't hold on, I can only cooperate with others."
"Uncle, we must hold on even if we fight to the death!"
"You are still young and need to learn more. You not only need to learn management methods, but also learn how to deal with the world. You usually read more books. It is best to go to school to listen and make up for your homework!"
"This... I have a headache when I see the book..."
"Even if you don't read books, you should chat with people more! There is knowledge everywhere in life, and you have to use your brain!"
"Uncle, I understand."
Half a year ago, Qin Mu took his eldest son Qin Yuansi to Chengdu to manage a textile factory. Qin Yuankong began to support his family and gradually became some directors.
The Qin family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is short of manpower from beginning to end.
Qin Di felt that if people outside wanted to invite them, their own family would also use them. For some private work, such as opening a casino, it would be more convenient to use their own people because it involves money laundering.
He believed that the reason why Qin Yuankong and Qin Yuanlong were slutty was mainly because they did not have good education. Qin Hanliang was too busy and Hu Ying was a confused woman, so his children and grandchildren were not good at it! If they were put in their own hands, they both valued kindness and power, and they might become successful. If they really didn't work, they would let them die on their own.
Although it is not a good reputation for opening a casino, it depends on what era it is.
In the 1930s and 1940s, the demon city was surrounded by Japanese people outside, and an isolated island formed inside. Many people gathered on the isolated island, and a large amount of money gathered, forming a deformed prosperous scene, with bright lights and wine, drunkenness and wealth, singing and dancing, laughing at the poor but not at the prostitute. In this case, Qin Di did not mind interfering in the gambling industry.
Of course, the casino will last until 1948 at most, and then it will be over.
By then, Qin Yuankong and Qin Yuanlong are in their thirties and can just leave to Macau and Hong Kong.
