As for business, Wu Tian had no good suggestions and could only respond with a faint smile.
After a moment of silence, Cang Zheng's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and he excitedly said, "Wutian, why don't we build a fighting arena and a casino in Shura City after we return to the Samsara Continent? That way, we will surely be able to attract a lot of money."
"Well!"
Wu Tian was stunned and looked at Cang Zheng strangely. He was despising others before, but now he was ready to imitate others. Why was this guy's character so weird
As if he had seen through Wu Tian's thoughts, Cang Zheng smiled indifferently and said, "I admit that I cannot compare with you in terms of cultivation, but when it comes to business, you have to admit that you are inferior."
"Tell me, what are the things to pay attention to when doing business?" Wutan became interested immediately after hearing this.
Seeing Wu Tian's humble attitude, Cang Zheng was delighted and regained his arrogance when they first met. Without transmitting his voice, he said, "In business, the first thing to pay attention to is honesty. Only people with honesty can retain the hearts of their customers and move towards glory step by step."
"It's just like the Eternal Casino. I only need to look at it and I know they can do this. No matter how much they win or lose, they will not owe their customers anything. That's why this place is so popular. Otherwise, even with the city lord's order, there will be people who secretly set up gambling. But there is no such thing here."
"How do you know? Since everyone said it's in the dark, they must not dare to see the light!" Wu Tian said.
Cang Zheng shook his head and said, "If it really exists, we should have been standing here for a while and someone would have come to chat with us. But until now, no one has come. This is enough to prove that your idea is wrong."
Wu Tian thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he motioned for him to continue.
"The second thing is to use any means necessary. When I say use any means necessary, I don't mean to kill people or rob goods. Rather, I mean to use any means necessary to make customers willingly take out their essence without violating integrity. Gambling is the best way to do this."
"Just like today's occasion, it's all fair competition, there's no suspicion of cheating, everyone is very confident, betting on who will win is completely based on their own ideas, if they lose, they will only blame themselves for not having good vision, instead of blaming the Eternal Casino, this is what is called one willing to fight and the other willing to suffer."
Cang Zheng talked eloquently, and it seemed that he actually had some experience. He was worthy of being the young master of Wanbao Pavilion. He had been influenced by it since childhood and was very experienced. However, to Wutan, it was like talking to a cow. What he said went in one ear and immediately out the other.
"Honesty is the foundation, and the means are unscrupulous. When I first heard it, I felt it was very contradictory, but after hearing what you said, I felt that everything made sense. I have learned a lesson today."
An old and hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the crowd. It was not very loud, but it was clearly heard by Wutan and the other man. But what was strange was that the people around them did not react at all, as if they did not hear it.
Following the sound, they saw a white-haired old man walking through the crowd and slowly approaching Wutan and the other man. He had a rather thin body and was wearing a loose snow-white robe. Although he looked very old, he looked particularly energetic. His two eyes, which seemed cloudy, yet clear and bright, kept looking at Cang Zheng, as if he was trying to see something.
"Strong!"
The two looked at each other, and these two words emerged in their minds at the same time. The breath of the person who came was very faint, and it could even be said that he was just like an ordinary old man, but it gave the two of them an inexplicable sense of fear!
The old man in white stepped forward and stopped at Wu Tian. His eyes then fell directly on Cang Zheng. He bowed and smiled, "I am Wang Fan. May I ask your name, little brother?"
"Uh!" Cang Zheng was stunned for a moment, feeling a little puzzled, but out of politeness, he still bowed very seriously and said: "Junior Yan Kuan, greetings to Senior Wang."
However, the next words of the old man in white, Wang Fan, made the two even more confused. He looked at the two again and said with a smile, "I wonder if you, little brother Yan Kuan, can go with me to the inner hall for a chat. Of course, you can also bring your friends."
"Inner hall?"
Wang Fan smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, I am a manager of Yongheng Casino. I heard what you said before, and I think you have a lot of experience in business, so I want to ask you for advice."
"Ask for advice?"
Cang Zheng was stunned and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that he had met a fellow traveler. Then he proudly raised his eyebrows to Chong Wutian, as if to say, "See! This young master's talent in business is indeed unique. Even old men in their seventies and eighties come to me for advice."
Wu Tian smiled but said nothing.
Cang Zheng suddenly felt bored, and turned to look at Wang Fan, saying, "Old Senior Wang, I am still a novice, how dare I show off my skills in front of you, not to mention that I just said it casually, you just need to listen to it, don't take it seriously."
"Haha, little brother Yan Kuan is too modest. Although I am only the manager of the Eternal Casino, I have been in the business world for thousands of years. It is rare to see a young man like you who has unique insights into business!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Wang. I just ran some insignificant small businesses in the past. How dare I compare myself with you?" Cang Zheng said with a faint smile. In fact, he was very happy in his heart. He had never been favored since he was a child, but today he was finally praised. He felt so happy!
When Wang Fan heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up brightly and he stared at Cang Zheng straightly, like a weasel seeing a little white rabbit, making Cang Zheng feel uncomfortable all over.
Wang Fan also noticed that he had lost his composure, so he coughed dryly and asked with a smile, "So, little brother, you are really a fellow traveler. I wonder if you are willing to enter the business world again? If you are willing, there is still a manager position in the Eternal Casino."
Cang Zheng couldn't help laughing when he heard that. After all this time, it turned out that they wanted him to work for Yongheng Casino. However, as the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Cang Zheng declined tactfully, "Senior Wang, I have a wild mind and don't like the feeling of being constrained, so please forgive me."
"In that case, I won't force you any further. But I've made you my friend, little brother. If you need me in the future, feel free to come to Eternal Casino to find me." Wang Fan said with a smile, but one could clearly see deep disappointment in his eyes.
In order to get rid of this old man quickly, Cang Zheng said quickly: "Of course, of course."
Wang Fan was also a sensible person. He did not delve into this issue and smiled, "Since the two brothers are here, why not go in and take a look? Our bank has invested a lot of money today in the battle for the Shadow Guard. If you are lucky, you can easily get a lot of wealth."
"You want to open a casino in Shura City? It's still early, so go in and take a look!" Cang Zheng hesitated and was about to refuse when he heard Wu Tian's voice in his mind. He was delighted and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Wang."
Following Wang Fan and Wutan, they walked through the crowd and soon entered the gate of the Eternal Casino.
What appeared before them was a hall that was over a hundred feet wide. It was crowded with people, but to their surprise, although there were many people, it was not very noisy. Only some mild discussions could be heard intermittently.
As if seeing the confusion of the two, Wang Fan explained: "My two friends, you don't know that in order not to hinder others' judgment, the casino has a rule that loud noises are not allowed."
At this time, several of the casino's employees looked towards the door unintentionally, as if they had seen something extraordinary. They were startled and quickly stood up from their seats. They quickly walked to Wang Fan, looked at Wu Tian and the other man in confusion, and said to Wang Fan respectfully, "Hello..."
"How dare you!" Wang Fan shouted first, "What did I tell you all the time? You are not allowed to disturb me when I am receiving guests!"
"Manager?" After hearing Wang Fan's words, several men looked at each other in confusion.
"You bastards, why are you here if you don't want to work? Manager Wang is receiving guests, so you are not allowed to disturb him."
Suddenly, an angry shout was heard from behind. A middle-aged man in fancy clothes strode over, with his back to Wu Tian and the other two. He winked at the guys and shouted, "If you dare to be lazy again, I will make you all get out. Go back to work now."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Several guys nodded repeatedly, turned around hurriedly, and went back to their respective places to do their own jobs, but their eyes would always inadvertently look over here. To be precise, they were looking at Wutan and Cang Zheng with a confused look.
"Oh! Manager Wang, you are already old, why do you still come to the casino in person? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly!" The middle-aged man said with a smile, and suddenly slapped his head and said angrily: "Look at my memory, Manager Wang, you came at the right time, I just have something to discuss with you, you see..."
Having said that, the middle-aged man looked at Wutan and the other man.
Cang Zheng bowed and said, "Senior Wang, we can just go shopping by ourselves. If you have something to do, go ahead!"
"Haha! Okay, if you need anything later, just send someone to inform me." Wang Fan smiled, turned around and left with the middle-aged man.
"This old guy must be sick! The guy came up to salute and got a severe scolding. I originally thought he was quite pleasing to the eye, but I didn't expect him to be such a tasteless old stubborn." Cang Zheng transmitted the message.
"Who knows?" Wutan responded simply, looked at the old man's back with a deep gaze, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a weird smile.
"Look, what are so many people doing gathered there?" Cang Zheng asked puzzledly, pulling Wutan's gaze back to the place where Cang Zheng pointed. He saw that in the center of the hall, there were a lot of people, crowded together, talking, but their voices were very low.
"You'll know if you go and take a look."
"Then I'll go and take a look." Cang Zheng nodded, left Wutan at the door, and walked towards the center.
…
"City Lord, what are you trying to say? Why do you claim to be the manager of the casino?"
In the back room of the casino, Wang Fan sat on a large mahogany chair, while a middle-aged man in fancy clothes stood respectfully in front of him, his brows furrowed and his face full of confusion.
"hehe!"
Wang Fan smiled slightly, and did not rush to answer. He first reached out and picked up a cup of hot fragrant tea, put it to his lips and spit gently, then put the cup back to its original position, and then shook his head and said, "Just now, this city lord was bored in the fighting field, and was going to come to the gambling house to take a look, but he didn't expect to meet a genius at the door."
That’s right, this seemingly ordinary old man is not the manager of the Eternal Casino. His real identity is the lord of the First City—Wang Fan!
