Coming out of Mr. Yang Er's room, I suddenly felt very depressed. Originally, in Toronto, all the future troubles of the Hells Angels were successfully resolved. According to Yang Wei's help, I came up with three strategies, one of which was to stabilize the rear. To win the full support of old Sorin with partial interests.
But now it seems that I have passed the test of old Sorin, won his true trust, and let the Hell's Angels clearly stand on my alliance line.
There is no doubt that although my trip to Toronto was full of twists and turns and a lot of thrills in the process, the result was very satisfying. I'm also very pleased with the final outcome. After all I got the best results I wanted.
But suddenly being invited to Las Vegas by Mr. Yang Er, especially the conversation just now, almost ruined all my good mood!
Yang Wei... Yang Wei... Well, it's about Yang Wei again.
Although in the room, when I was talking to Mr. Yang Er, what I said was very decisive and straightforward, and it seemed that I made my attitude very firm. But in my heart... can I really let go of the name "Yang Wei"
God knows!
Although when I was injured, I cruelly refused Yang Wei's visit, and even said such absolute words to her: Now that I have made a choice, don't waver anymore.
But, isn't that a kind of inner revenge against Yang Wei's indifference to me before
When that letter from Yang Wei was placed in front of me, I seemed to see the woman who was devoted to giving me advice and caring for me wholeheartedly, especially the tear stains on the letter paper, and the woman who almost appeared in the end. The word "precious" written in trembling handwriting.
Why hasn't my heart been shaken
Yang Wei was shaken, and so was I...but now Mr. Yang Er has stood up.
Haha... men and women who love each other but can't be together for many reasons, and... family elders who stand in the middle and make trouble.
This is really a bit like the bloody romance TV series in Taiwan at eight o'clock.
Such a night, such a mood, it is really not suitable for a person to go back to the room and sleep depressingly looking at the ceiling.
Fortunately, this is Las Vegas. And I also know that just downstairs from here, there is a casino.
As a distinguished guest greeted by Mr. Yang Er personally, my every move is closely protected by the Yang family.
And I also learned that the hotel I am in now is the first casino and the first hotel run by the Yang family in Las Vegas... Of course, because of the age, and Las Vegas The rapid development of this monster-like city. This old hotel and casino has been difficult to adapt to new needs, so now the Yang family basically uses this place as their base camp, and the business of the hotel is just a commemorative decoration. Except for the casino downstairs which is still operating normally, the hotel upstairs basically does not accept any clients. Only some business guests of the Yang family will be invited to live in this place.
I just casually looked in the corridor for a while, and immediately someone from the Yang family appeared in front of me, asking politely what I needed.
"Alcohol, cigarettes... Then, take me to the casino downstairs and help me change some chips."
My request was quickly fulfilled.
Yang Wen, who picked me up to Las Vegas, soon came to my side and accompanied me to the casino downstairs, and at the same time someone brought the best cigarettes and fine wine. Yang Wen acted as an introduction.
"Mr. Chen, the history of this casino can be traced back to the establishment of Las Vegas! As the first batch of legal casinos in Las Vegas, this place has almost witnessed the prosperity of Las Vegas. Of course, from the perspective of scale , although it has also undergone expansion, it has been unable to meet the ever-changing needs since ten years ago. Compared with the large-scale casinos with thousands of gaming tables at every turn, this old casino with a long history seems to be It's getting a bit shabby, but there are still a lot of old Las Vegas gamblers who like to come here to meet old friends and savor the memories... oh, and by the way, it's also been the venue for three big poker tournaments. "
Yang Wen pushed my wheelchair out of the elevator and came to the casino. He continued to introduce: "Now, the hotel upstairs is closed to the public, and this casino is only half open. It is inaccessible to ordinary tourists. Only Only people with membership can come here... In other words, this place is already a place similar to a memorial hall. But don't underestimate this place, this kind of membership is not something ordinary people can live …Because in this casino, almost all of them are experienced and old gamblers, and maybe a guest you see at any gaming table may be a contestant in a casino gambling competition in a certain world.”
"Oh?" I said casually: "So, this is a place where many masters gather? I know that in a casino, the more masters there are among the guests, the less profitable the casino will be. If the money is won by them, won’t the casino lose money?”
Yang Wen smiled slightly, he seemed to be used to such questions, and said lightly: "Oh, that's not the case, because there are some special regulations here."
"What special regulations?"
This gentle and clean young man smiled: "Sir, I think you also know that when a person possesses abilities, or wealth, or status that are higher than ordinary people... When people are in this kind of environment, although it may give People bring great success and career achievements, but often, they also lose a lot...for example, the fun of being an ordinary person."
I nodded, my heart moved, and I couldn't help muttering softly: "Hmm... the fun of being an ordinary person... interesting."
"Yes." Yang Wen said very easily: "You see, when a master gambler or a professional gambler goes to the gaming table, the gaming table is the battlefield and their job! They need to count cards with all their heart , to carefully calculate the probability, to use their gambling skills desperately... In other words, they are working! You also know that when something becomes work, it is difficult to experience pleasure from it. And these gambling masters, when they usually make money by gambling, although they can earn money, they lose the 'joy of gambling'."
"It makes sense." I quickly understood what he meant, and said casually: "Even in the simplest dice roll, the happiest moment is the moment after the dice is thrown but the result is unknown! This is the joy of gambling! And if you rely on gambling skills to listen to the points of the dice, although it is a sure win, it loses the fun and becomes a pure job."
Yang Wen smiled: "Mr. Chen, you are an expert."
I shook my head, looked around, and said lightly: "No, I'm not an expert, I don't even have much research on gambling."
Indeed, as Yang Wen said, compared to the super large casinos in Las Vegas that are often decorated with golden walls, this casino with only more than one hundred gaming tables looks much shabby.
And obviously, the Yang family didn't deliberately pursue ostentation, although everything here is very clean and meticulous. But in terms of decoration style, it is full of the old-fashioned flavor of decades ago. Even the croupiers on the gaming table wore old-fashioned huge bow ties, and the rows of slot machines next to them were also old-fashioned machines that were hardly seen on the market now.
"The guests here are here to enjoy the fun of gambling. Many of them are real masters. But when gambling here, they will never deliberately listen to the dice to judge the points when playing poker. I don't bother counting cards, I just let myself enjoy the fun of the game as an ordinary person... Gambling is just a game." Yang Wen still had a smile on his face: "So, In this place, the bets are very small, we even set the upper limit of the amount of bets accepted, and set the upper limit very low, because the guests who come here are not here to win money, but to enjoy the game.”
Yang Wen pushed me to look around, and I found that what he said was right. Unlike other casinos I have been to, the guests here seem to be very relaxed. The faces of the guests at the gaming tables do not look like other casinos. The scene where the gamblers' eyes were reddened, all of them looked leisurely and content.
Judging from their clothes, they are all wealthy people, but there are often bursts of cheers and sighs, but it is only for winning or losing a mere few hundred dollars.
Yang Wen quickly exchanged thousands of dollars of chips for me, and then led me past several gaming tables.
Since this is a place for pure enjoyment of the game, of course I will not take out the gambling ring to gamble with other people in a tacky manner. Everyone else is playing the game, and if you cheat, even if you win, you will not be able to enjoy the fun.
Moreover, I really quickly experienced the fun as Yang Wen said!
This is really a wonderful thing.
Here, it is very likely that the opponent holding the poker cards next to you is a player in a certain world gambling competition, or a professional gambler who is famous all over the world. But when they don't use any gambling skills and simply play luck with you to gamble games, even if you are facing the God of Gamblers, maybe you can beat him by a few hands!
For example, I just won three hundred dollars from an old man in Sohari. Afterwards, Yang Wen told me that the old man was once the runner-up in a gambling competition! He is a master of the gambling king level! When I was young, I used to represent a casino in other places to pick a place, swept six casinos in one night, and took away hundreds of millions of dollars!
