Chapter 21: Gambling Mom, Broken Home
"You saved Jin Zhaoli, level +1"
As the level increases, the properties change.
[Occupation: Taoist]
【Level: 4】
[Taoism: 4]
【Life: 100/100】
[Mana: 400/400]
[Skills: Healing, Poisoning, Mental Combat, Psychic Revelation]
The new skill is Spiritual Revelation.
"Why is it the spiritual revelation? According to the order, it should be the soul fire symbol, but the first two upgrades of poison spells were also ranked before the mental force combat method. It seems that the skills are not in order. It's very strange."
Wencai was extremely puzzled.
At the same time, Jin Zhaoli also received a system prompt, but she didn't pay attention to it because she was in a panic.
"Congratulations to the miracle doctor. Come on stage and give me a kiss."
Panmali shouted, hoping that the world would not be in chaos.
Things have come to this point, and Long Si is helpless. He secretly thinks that he will make arrangements for Lan Ying next time.
It's finally time for settlement.
Wencai jumped onto the stage and grabbed Jin Zhaoli's snow-white little hand.
Jin Zhaoli really wanted to break free, then run back home, close the door, and cover herself with a quilt so that not even a bit of light or wind could get in.
But she didn't dare, because her brother and her mother would die miserably.
When her hand was held by this old weirdo, Jin Zhaoli showed an ugly smile on her face.
"Kiss one, kiss one."
Panmali is still calling.
The atmosphere was right, Wencai pulled with his hand, and Jin Zhaoli felt her body being pulled by a huge force, and instantly fell into the arms of the old man in front of her.
Wencai put his face close to Jin Zhaoli's and kissed her.
It's white and smooth like freshly made tofu.
Jin Zhaoli looked at this strange man who was kissing her face randomly. She didn't dare to move and just trembled with fear.
"Don't stand on the platform anymore. Come with me and enjoy the food and drinks."
Wencai pulled Jin Zhaoli off the stage.
At the end of the second game, Wencai got the beauty.
The result was not what Long Si had planned, but Long Si remained calm and composed.
A beautiful woman is nothing to him.
A true hero will not be dazzled by the flowers.
All the kings gathered around and apologized to Wencai.
"Come on, have a drink, and you'll have a boy next year."
"Haha, we Jianghu people keep everything simple, so just treat this cup as wedding wine."
Cup after cup, these thousand kings saw that Wencai had won the beauty. Although there was some expression on their faces, it was the male instinct of jealousy that got to them, and they all came forward to force Wencai to drink.
The toast is for Wencai, and Jin Zhaoli has to drink as well.
After drinking seven or eight glasses of red wine, Wencai and Jin Zhaoli's faces were flushed.
Uncle Jiu never taught Wencai how to drink, and there is no method of drinking in Maoshan Taoism, nor any Taoist skills.
Wencai's alcohol tolerance is just like that of an ordinary person. He feels dizzy and dizzy after drinking a few cups of liquor.
Jin Zhaoli was so upset that she vomited once, but she didn't dare to say a word.
To these ruthless people in the underworld, she is just a commodity.
Don't even think of asking her to drink, just tell her to do whatever you want.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Long Si put down his wine glass, stood up and spoke loudly.
We’ve watched the thigh dance, had some fun, and drank enough, it’s time to get down to business.
King Qian wanted to discuss serious matters, so it was inconvenient for Wencai to stay any longer, so he pulled Jin Zhaoli forward to say goodbye.
"Brother Wencai, come along, there's your share."
Long Si said in a deep voice.
Wencai had no choice but to follow Long Si to a large private room in Paramount.
He also dragged Jin Zhaoli along, and Long Si didn't say anything.
The private room was very large, with a table in the middle that was more than ten meters long. On the table were fourteen cups of fragrant tea and thirteen wooden boxes.
Both the Paramount and the Grand Shanghai Ballroom have large private rooms for guests to discuss serious matters.
Nightclubs are also the meeting places for gangsters. In ancient times, gangsters liked to discuss matters in teahouses. By the time of the Republic of China, the trend had spread to Shanghai, and the discussions in teahouses in the old society had been changed to negotiations in nightclubs.
This situation was exactly the same as the scene where underworld bosses divided up territories that Wencai had seen in movies and TV shows in his previous life.
"I don't know if Long Siyi will say that classic line about who is in favor and who is against."
Wencai thought to himself.
The fourteen people sat down, with Long Si sitting in the main seat.
The seats of the people were not arranged according to the ranking of the Thousand Kings. Lan Ying and Wencai sat on both sides of Long Si, followed by Xu Dashan and Ma Zhui, and then Gu Tingkuan and Chang Kun.
Ding Youdi and Ding Youtian naturally sat at the back, and neither of them cared.
Jin Zhaoli was not qualified to sit and could only stand behind Wencai.
Long Si took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to the brothers, one for each person, even Pan Mali asked for one.
Some people don't smoke, such as Gu Tingdai and Zhao Chengyou.
But to suit the situation, the room was filled with smoke for a moment.
Jin Zhaoli felt extremely uncomfortable when she smelled the smoke, but she didn't dare to say anything.
The old society was so good. In the new society where women's rights are supreme, beauties are the kings, and they will be embarrassed on the spot.
"I, Long Si, was injured by a villain and was imprisoned in the Northeast for seven years. Now I have just arrived in Shanghai and I share the same ideals with you brothers. Please have a drink with me."
The wine had almost been finished, and Long Si picked up the tea.
Sense of ritual. The big bosses in the underworld have the final say, unlike the small gangsters in Young and Dangerous, who have to pay attention to the sense of ritual.
Everyone served the tea and took a sip of it together.
"In Shanghai, I bet on life and death with Huang Hai, the owner of the Dali Casino on Simalu, and luckily won. I also bet on life and death with Dong Qishan, a Shanghai gambling tycoon, and luckily won again."
Long Si said it was luck, but there was no such thing as luck. The gamble of dragons fighting against tigers and the fight between life and death were extremely dangerous.
A real boss won’t talk much. No matter how many dangers, life and death situations there are, afterward he will just say he is lucky.
"Now, I have 28 casinos owned by Dong Qishan and one owned by Huang Hai, a total of 29. I want to give out 25 casinos to all the brothers, and split the profits 70% to 30%. What do you think?"
As soon as Long Si said this, everyone was immediately shocked.
The monthly net profit of a casino can be as high as tens of thousands or as low as four or five thousand.
Thirteen percent of ten thousand is three thousand yuan. Gu Tingkuan has a good business in his clinic in Shanghai, but his monthly profit is only a hundred yuan.
Another point is that, except for Lan Ying and Wen Cai, they did not contribute at all when Long Si was fighting for power in Shanghai.
Divide the casino, divide the money is quite a lot, pick it up for free.
Xu Dashan stood up and said, "I object. I didn't fight Huang Hai and Dong Qishan. Now you're sending me to the casino. What do you think of me?"
Chongtianpao has a generous personality and speaks directly.
"You can't say that. We all have similar personalities. We didn't send the casino off. We just help Fourth Brother manage it. We can use it together when we have something to do and spend money together. What's wrong with that?"
Ma Zhui said.
"Big brother is right. Brothers should be loyal to each other. It is natural for Fourth Brother to need our help."
Thousands of kings echoed this.
Wencai also followed what everyone was saying. He had seen this plot in his previous life. Now that he was in it, he just needed to watch the show.
"Besides me, there are twelve brothers in Qianmen here, and twenty-five casinos. Each of you will manage two. I plan to give the extra one to Brother Wencai who saved my life. What do you think?"
"As it should be."
"Of course."
……
Everyone just agreed and no one objected.
Long Si gave two rooms to his brothers and only one to Wencai, apparently treating Wencai as an outsider.
In fact, this is not the case, as can be seen from his words.
He gave Twelve Thousand King Casino, talking about management.
Wencai said it was a gift, and the casino is essentially managed by Long Si, and the thousands of kings are working for Long Si.
If it is a gift, it belongs 100% to Wencai. There is no need for a 30%-70% split. All the profits will go to Wencai.
By this calculation, one casino in Wencai is equivalent to three casinos.
Of course, the twenty-five casinos are also divided into large and small locations, and the money earned is also different. If it is a small casino that is given to Wen Cai, the profit will be less than that of a large casino that only makes 30% of the profit.
After hearing what Long Si said, Wencai silently agreed to the decision, but his face was calm, and he was not as excited as he was when he won the beauty just now.
But Miss Jin Zhaoli behind him is different.
How much does a casino cost?
Don’t be fooled by the bright and fancy clothes Jin Zhaoli is wearing now; that was because Long Si paid for her to dress up for today’s occasion.
She is a beautiful girl from a poor family. Her brother suffers from anemia, her mother lost 400 yuan in the Dali Casino, and her brother's subsequent medical expenses will cost more than 100 yuan.
The casino was owned by Long Si, and Jin Mu's debt had to be collected. Jin Mu was extremely poor, and she couldn't even take out ten dollars, let alone a hundred dollars.
Helplessly, Jin Zhaoli could only pledge her life in exchange for 400 yuan and pledge the person to the casino.
Such a beautiful woman fell into the casino and was originally intended for the boss Huang Hai to enjoy.
But as fate would have it, Huang Hai was defeated by Long Si before he could enjoy it, and Jin Zhaoli belonged to Long Si again.
When Long Si saw Jin Zhaoli's outstanding appearance, he had an idea in his mind.
In order to make Jin Zhaoli cooperate with him wholeheartedly, Long Si even generously lent Jin Zhaoli another 600 yuan so that she could save her brother.
A real boss controls people's hearts by using gratitude. Jin Zhaoli received gratitude from Long Si and didn't even think of running away and committing suicide.
This practice has existed since ancient times, for example, Wang Yun controlled Diao Chan, and then used Diao Chan to control Lu Bu.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is called a novel but it is actually an old fox's manual, the world's first-class guide for heroes.
Long was imprisoned for 47 years. He read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in prison and realized that the best way to dominate the world was not from Cao Cao or Sun Quan, but from Liu Bei.
Liu Bei had no money and no power, and all he relied on to conquer the world was winning people's hearts.
Jin Zhaoli's mother loved gambling, and she was taken to the casino for a few days. She knew very well that a casino was worth no less than a nightclub.
Her mother lost four hundred dollars in one day in the casino. There are so many such cases. If you calculate it, the money a casino makes every day is not that much.
There is a casino in Shanghai, he is definitely a superior person, a real big boss.
Just like Huang Hai, he only runs one casino throughout his life.
Jin Zhaoli found it incredible that Wencai, a rustic old man, could get a casino.
