Chapter 705 Emperor Casino
Emperor Casino was the largest casino in Quanshanghai and the longest-opening casino before the opening of Casino No. 181.
From a small gambling block, Emperor Casino gradually became bigger and stronger, to establishing more than 20 casinos under its umbrella, all thanks to Dong Qishan's father Dong Fang.
When Dong was in the world, he was tough and decisive, and said the same thing. With him, Dong Qishan dared not act rashly.
But since his death, no one has taken care of him, Dong Qishan has been completely happy like a wild horse that has been ridden.
He didn't learn that Dong's wrists were both gentle and hard, but he learned that his temper was unanimous.
But he was unable to support his temper and became arbitrary, which caused many veterans and old customers to complain, and the business of Dong's company was also affected to a certain extent.
However, the Dong family's company has a great family and a deep capital. In addition, the group of old ministers who were left by Dong Fang were all loyal and capable.
With their help, the company's business will not plummet. Even if it has a certain decline, it is still in the position of the leader.
Although emerging casinos such as 181 are in full swing, they are still rising stars after all. The foundation is not yet solid and cannot shake the status of Dong's company for the time being.
It is precisely because of this that Dong Qishan was relieved and began to spend a lot of money, buy courtesans, and buy theaters. He spent a lot of money at any time, spending money like flowing water.
Moreover, he began to take part in gambling frequently and repeatedly opened shocking bets.
But perhaps it was because of his father's blessing from the Spirit of Heaven that he participated in the shocking bets he won more than he lost. Not only did he win back all the money he spent on his usual days, but he also had a balance.
This further encouraged his arrogance. He didn't want to listen to what the old ministers in the company said, but instead scolded them for being a fool and being abdicated to give way to the wise.
The old ministers all knew that most of the reason why he was able to kill all sides at the gambling table was because he took advantage of the people with his principal.
He has a company behind him as a backer. No matter how big the bet is, he is not afraid of losing, and he can afford to lose. This makes him repeatedly psychologically advantageous, as if he has stepped into an invincible place with one foot.
In addition, he also received Dong Fang's personal essay, and he still had two tricks under his command. Ordinary gambling masters are not his opponents, so he was able to kill all sides at the gambling table.
But as the saying goes, when you walk by the river, how can you not wet your shoes?
Those who drowned are all good at water, and those who lose money are all good at playing. Such examples are performed in the company's venues every day.
They had already found Dong Qishan to persuade him to this challenge, but he refused to listen.
Dong Qishan was indeed extraordinary in gambling, but at that time he was facing ordinary gambling masters.
Who is Long Si? He was a man who was famous at the time and known as the Chinese gambling king.
Even the old gambling king Dong Fang personally brought a generous gift to Long Si, asking him to give it to him. Why did your Dong Qishan look down on others?
Long Si disappeared for so many years and reappeared in the world. It is obvious that the person who came here is not good.
He launched the challenge so straightforwardly and did not cover it up, which means that he had already set his sights on the company's industry and had made corresponding plans.
People are sharpening their knives and killing pigs, but you, Dong Qishan, took the initiative to stretch your head out. Isn't this stupid?
The company's veterans were unable to sleep all night by the gambling game that Dong Qishan had made his own initiative. They ran to the casino early in the morning, trying to persuade Dong Qishan to cancel the gambling game and make other arrangements.
But this made Dong Qishan very angry. He thought that the elders underestimated him and believed that he would definitely lose before he could even go to the table. He killed him and increased the prestige of others.
He was annoyed by hearing this, and he drove out the veterans and gamblers and cleared the scene directly.
The elders were so angry that they smoked, but they had no choice but to wait outside the casino, hoping that Dong Qishan could change his mind.
But they also knew very well that it would be impossible to stop the bet.
Because two days ago, Dong Qishan let the news out after arguing with Long Si about today's bet.
The two sides involved a big bet of 400,000 yuan in the ocean, which was the first time in the entire Shanghai.
Shang Hai Shang has become a trend, and there are countless gamblers. When he learned that there was such a big gambling situation, he certainly wanted to take a look.
So today many gamblers have come to visit the casino and gathered outside the casino, hoping to have the opportunity to witness this shocking bet with their own eyes.
Dong Qishan's clearance broke their dream, but they did not leave. Instead, they started a bet outside the casino, betting on the winning or losing of Dong Qishan and Long Si's bet on this bet.
Those who are willing to join in the fun are all gambling people. How can you miss such a grand event?
So, before noon, three market quotations of tens of thousands of oceans were opened outside the casino alone, not counting other small market quotations.
This seems to have become a carnival for all Shanghai gamblers.
Such a grand occasion also made the company's veterans anxious and the momentum was so big that if Dong Qishan lost, the company would have been defeated and would have no chance to turn things around.
Just after two o'clock in the afternoon, cars drove one after another at the entrance of the Emperor Casino.
The first ones were Du Chen, the president of Shanghai Gambling Association, and relevant notary staff, and then staff from the four major banks arrived one after another.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, two serious old men also took a bus to the casino.
Seeing them, the company's veterans immediately looked embarrassed and couldn't help but complain.
They knew the two old men, two senior dealers who were well-known in Shanghai’s gambling industry, Yang Yu, who was known as the left judge of the iron-faced left, and Duan Zhu, who was the right judge of the iron-faced right.
Both of these are senior dealers who have been in the industry for more than 50 years and are also top experts in gambling.
Since their career, they have never made any mistakes. They are praised for their behavior and style of conduct. They are the two most convincing and respectable people in Shanghai’s gambling industry.
After seeing them, the elders already understood that Dong Qishan was probably very clear about Long Si's name and strength back then.
But he still chose to take the initiative to challenge. It seems that he really planned to compete with Long Siyi at the gambling table.
The subsequent consular representatives of the four countries of Britain, the United States, Italy and France also confirmed their speculations. Even the consuls invited them, and Dong Qishan was really serious.
But why did he have the confidence to beat Long Si?
The elders were already desperate, and time passed by minute by minute. They could only pray to the sky and pin their hopes on Long Si's accidents and could not participate in this bet.
However, their hopes were destined to be vain. Long Si had arrived at the teahouse opposite the Emperor Casino early in the first day and waited calmly.
Putting down the teacup, he looked at the clock beside the wall. It was already four:30 pm.
Lan Ying sat beside him, and hesitated to see this: "Will Anan have something to do?"
Shaking his head, Long Si said affirmatively: "Since he said he would come, he would definitely come. I believe him."
"Ha ha!"
