"How is Atlantic City? Is it beautiful?" Lying in the passenger seat of Jiang Hai Zhandun, Pula Walton wearing sunglasses asked Jiang Hai who was driving. When he heard his words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but chuckle. He nodded lightly.
"It is very beautiful, but there are too few people." Jiang Hai told the truth. The buildings in Atlantic City are very beautiful, the roads are wide, and there is a bay next to it. It seems to be a treasure land, and it is also the second largest city in the United States. The Grand Casino is one of the top four casinos in the world, but Jiang Hai seems to think that there is indeed something here that is, well, too peaceful.
"There are very few people. Have you ever watched Boardwalk Empire?" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Pula Walton turned to Jiang Hai and asked, but after hearing what she said, Jiang Hai nodded, Boardwalk Empire is a very famous American TV series.
Although he didn't finish it, he probably read it. Basically, it was about the melee between the gray gangs in Atlantic City when it was first established. After watching it for a long time, it became meaningless, so Jiang Hai didn't finish it.
"When Atlantic City was first established, it was just like Las Vegas. It was a normal city and had nothing to do with a casino. However, in 1931, in order to revive the economy, Las Vegas became a As a casino city, after seeing the benefits of Las Vegas, Atlantic City also became a casino city in the 1970s. But the difference with Las Vegas is that it is in the southwest, and this is below New York. ." After hearing what Jiang Hai said, Pula Walton also talked to Jiang Hai.
It's nothing more than that after the establishment of Las Vegas, the government was directly in charge, but after the establishment of Atlantic, the real ones were the gray gangs. What rules can the gray gangs have
They go around robbing people and customers, refusing to let others go when they win money, and lending money to others at usury when they lose money. This is the gray gang.
It is precisely because of this that Atlantic City was very popular at first. But in the 1980s, after airplanes became a common means of transportation, most wealthy people would rather go to Las Vegas than come here. After playing, the tax revenue was reduced, and the government responded and began to vigorously crack down on the gray gangs, so that now there are only a few gray mice in the entire Atlantic City.
The Gray Gang was exterminated, and even the foreign gangs, such as the South Vietnamese Gang, the Mexican Gang, and the Latin American Gang, were all eliminated.
But the foundation laid down over the years is not so easy for others to have confidence in.
This is just like when the United States reformed and opened up, it also polluted land and water resources on a large scale, but that was many years ago. The land and rivers in the United States have long been very clean, and some even Local places can directly meet drinking water standards, but the US government said at the time not to catch fish in the river to eat this one. All Americans still abide by it to this day, otherwise Asian carp would not be able to be like this. It's so prevalent now because they don't dare to eat it.
The same is true in Atlantic City. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of wells for ten years.
The flow of people throughout Atlantic City is still tepid. There are many casinos, but more are closed than open.
The total number of civilians in Atlantic City is only 50,000. It is hard to imagine that there are less than 50,000 people in one city.
But this is a place where many rich people like to live, because the environment here is very good, and there are not even gray rats anymore, and there are very few gray gangs, so living here is very safe. .
Therefore, there are quite a few wealthy people living here. Along the way, Jiang Hai listened to Pula Walton's introduction to him.
This made him dumbfounded. The population of the United States is actually not very small, with more than 300 million people. However, compared with China, it is still too vast and sparsely populated. Of course, if we talk about the most sparse place, it must be Canada. Yeah, there aren't many people at all.
With the sea breeze blowing all the way and looking at this slightly gorgeous city, Jiang Hai and Pula Walton arrived at their destination this time, Caesar Palace Hotel. In fact, speaking of this hotel, its reputation is much greater than it actually is. .
Before the MGM Hotel was built, it had always been the largest casino in the world. The main store was in Las Vegas and there was a branch here in Atlantic City. Of course, the current Caesars Palace is also the world's first-class casino, just in name. Not that big anymore.
After all, there are many rich people now. If it is purely for the pursuit of grandeur, Caesar's Palace is far behind.
For example, Sands, Genting, or even Venetian, Monte Carlo, etc., these are all big casinos.
Their guests, their entertainment equipment, and their level are all no worse than Caesars, but Caesars has a unique advantage, that is, it is the first choice boxing gym for all indoor boxing matches.
The most famous one is naturally boxing, and in addition to boxing, this time Jiang Hai and the others are also going to watch the UFC.
Parking the car in the underground parking lot of Caesars Palace, Jiang Hai took Pula Walton into the casino.
When walking into the gate, the two security guards hesitated for a moment, but still did not make a sound.
Because in their eyes, Jiang Hai can definitely be regarded as disheveled. After all, Jiang Hai likes to wear sportswear and go outdoors.
And here, you don’t wear suits and leather shoes, but at least they are casual suits. You wear a shirt underneath and a suit outside. You can wear a tie without a tie, and wear leather shoes. This seems to Westerners. It can be regarded as wearing a formal suit.
However, Jiang Hai was so carefree and did not meet the standards of guests, which made the two security guards a little confused.
The reason why they didn't stop Jiang Hai was because they knew that the car Jiang Hai drove was worth millions of dollars, and Jiang Hai's watch was worth millions of dollars. These two items alone were enough to blind them. The gold is so eye-catching.
So they didn't say anything, they just watched Jiang Hai and the others walk in. In the United States, rich people are the boss, and there are not so many principles to speak of. When Jiang Hai and Pula Walton walked into the casino, everyone inside The situation really made Jiang Hai's eyes light up.
The casino in front of him is divided into three parts, two large parts and a small part. The small part is for exchanging chips.
A medium section is mainly for playing slot machines. Of course, slot machines are not just one kind of machine. There are many kinds of machines, just like domestic game arcades, but unfortunately there is no catching fish...
Jiang Hai didn't have any ideas about playing the 777 slot machine. The other part was the gaming table.
The most popular games played on the gaming tables here are blackjack, in addition to stud, ********, baccarat and so on.
The color of the tabletop is different according to the bottom chips. Behind each table there is a beautiful woman acting as the dealer. Of course, in addition, many waiters and security guards are also patrolling here.
Although it was only around two o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Hai and Pula Walton had lunch at her home, but there were already a lot of people here. In addition, there were There is a special reception room, where the UFC game will start in a while, but it is closed now. According to the painting on the wall of the casino, that space can seat 18,000 people, which is almost the same as an NBA venue. Big, I heard the one in Las Vegas is bigger.
In addition, there are many small private rooms, which are left for the rich to enjoy themselves.
After Jiang Hai arrived here, he looked around. Although he wanted to try his luck, Jiang Hai did not forget the purpose of coming here. He took out his mobile phone and called Dufamen. The phone rang several times. He was picked up, and then Dufamen's voice came over the phone, still so bold and fake.
"Hi, Jiang, you called me. Have you come over?" Dufamen said enthusiastically, looking at the person displayed on the phone. Hearing Dufamen's enthusiastic voice on the phone, Pula over here -Walton was stunned for a moment, because Jiang Hai said that he was not very familiar with him, but listening to this voice now, it didn't sound like he was unfamiliar with him.
"I'm already at the casino, where are you?" Shrugging towards Pula Walton, Jiang Hai said that there was nothing he could do, and then asked Dufamen on the other side of the phone, this guy has never been Very reliable.
"Me? I'm fighting, haha, do you want to come over and join us?" Dufamen shouted excitedly after hearing Jiang Hai's words.
"Fight? Forget it..." Glancing at Pula Walton beside him, Jiang Hai thought that fighting was, well, so it was better for him to get less involved. Pula Walton on his side was very good. Difficult to settle.
"That's really a pity. I will ask my people to deliver the tickets to you. You can have fun first. The boxing match starts at seven o'clock. Your seat will be next to mine. We will meet up then." Hearing Jiang Hai Not interested in his 'battle', Dufamen here sighed helplessly, and then asked Jiang Hai to play by himself first. In fact, the battle he was talking about was not the same thing as what Jiang Hai was really talking about. He was gambling, but Even so, Jiang Hai was not willing to watch him gamble. If he wanted to have fun, he could just have fun here.
It would be better for him not to get involved in the wars of those rich people. After all, he is not a real rich man.
"Okay." After talking to Dufamen, Jiang Hai also hung up the phone, and then talked to Pula Walton. The two went to the side to exchange chips for 200,000 US dollars, and prepared to play separately. Play.
Pula Walton lives in Atlantic City, and she is also a child of the family. She is still very familiar with these games. Holding a hundred thousand dollars, whether it is for her or Jiang Hai, This hundred thousand dollars is just pocket money.
So after each taking a hundred thousand dollars, the two started playing on their own.
Jiang Hai also tried it first, but it soon proved that he was not a son of the true plane.
The plot in the novel about killing everyone in a casino, making money, trampling on people, and picking up chicks is not shown at all. He really doesn't know how to play.
