Chapter 9 Chapter Eight

"Two, two, five, the elementary school starts at nine o'clock." Ye Han sang dice sharply. The Sic Bo table screamed.Tan Tong was dumbfounded at first, then his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted loudly: "Sorcery, sorcerer, you are using sorcery!" Ye Han said: "Even if I used 'witchcraft', why didn't Mr. Tan see it on the spot?" Tan Tong was so angry that his face turned red, and he pointed at Ye Han and said, "Okay, if you don't admit it, then I will roll the dice to be the banker, and you can guess!" Ye Han glanced at the empty chip tray beside Tan Tong, and said coldly, "If you lose again, what will you use to compensate me?"

Tan Tong's eyes were already red, and he pointed to his nose: "You think I can't afford to lose? I'll bet with you with this head! Everyone testifies, if Tan loses, he will cut off his head!" Ye Han said seriously: "Although Ye is a gambler, his human nature has never been wiped out. He will not be so cruel. If he wins you, he will only ask Mr. Tan to shave his beard and hair." "Okay, Ye Han said it well!" The audience cheered. Ye Han withdrew from the dealer table and gave way to Tan Tong.Tan Tong checked the dice cup and dice carefully, found no flaws, and asked the audience to be silent.

The last shop has begun. Tan Tong rolled the dice like a catharsis, and stopped. When the dice fell, it made a "squeaky" sound. According to the normal situation, this is the sound of one or two o'clock hitting the ground, that is, the upward side is six or five, and it should be big. But this time on the contrary, you must bet on "Small". Ye Han bet more than 200,000 yuan in chips on the word "small"...Tan Tong lifted the dice cup, and three dice came into view: one, one, five, and the small one at seven... Tan Tong was completely convinced this time. When the paparazzi brought a pair of sharp scissors from an ice tray, he picked it up with one hand, first pulled his hair, cut it off with a "click", and then grabbed his beard... a large handful of thick black scissors The beard and hair were thrown on the Sic Bo table, and Tan Tong's tears were also shed... He raised his head and sighed, and left the casino in tears...

"Ye Han!" "Ye Han!" At this moment, Ye Han did not feel the joy of victory, but only tired like exhaustion. The whole audience shouted, the paparazzi, Xie Dian and others came back to their senses and threw Ye Han into the sky excitedly. Zhou Ping picked up the camera and kept flipping the shutter. Fu Laorong and Gao Kening let out a long sigh of relief, like a commander who has won a big battle, they frequently greeted the audience. Lu Jiu, He Shi and others took the opportunity to leave quietly. The whole of Macau returned to calm after a burst of frenzy.However, the "Ye Han craze" this time seems to have an unexpected publicity effect, that is, the number of people who love gambling, especially Sic Bo, has multiplied virtually. The "Macau Daily" took the lead in opening up a gambling column , and thus won a large number of readers.

Naturally, Ye Han's name has long been known to every household, and he is regarded as an idol by many gamblers. In the special land of Macau, the popularity and influence of a gambling star is beyond the reach of many movie stars and singers. Of course, Ye Han has become the focus of everyone's attention. About his life experience, experience, hobbies, especially gambling, have become the favorite questions of "star fans". Zhou Ping, the chief reporter of "Macau Daily", shouldered the responsibility of interviewing Ye Han to meet the requirements of the majority of gambling fans.

Ye Han has become a public figure, and he pays great attention to his image.He is confident that he will become a prominent figure in the gambling world in the future, and his current popularity with the public is laying the foundation for his future. Zhou Ping opened the "Ye Han Column" in the "Macao Daily", and gave various answers to the gambling fans' concerns about Ye Han.Gambling fans are worried about the wonderful performance of Ye Han's victory over Tan Tong, and asked the following specific questions about this matter: 1. What is "listening dice", can ordinary people practice it?What is your attitude towards "listening to dice"?

2. Tan Tong is a generation of gambling wizards. What is the direct reason for his defeat by your subordinates?Can he make a comeback? 3. Tan Tong has the magical skill of listening to dice. After he found that the original method of listening to dice failed, he changed his method. Why did he still lose to you?What method did you adopt at that time? 4. When Tan Tong was the banker for the last time, why are you still sure of winning? 5. At present, there are many people who love Sic Bo in Macau, but they are discouraged when they know Mr. Ye has such a great skill. May I ask Mr. Ye, how can the majority of gamblers come to the Sic Bo casino of Taixing Company to get fairness?

These questions are quite sharp, objective and unavoidable.Article 5, in particular, directly reflects the mentality of the current gamblers. If Taixing Sic Bo can be invincible, then everyone should simply send money to the casino, and there is no need to gamble at all. But the whole meaning of gambling lies in the word "gambling". The temptation to win or lose is uncertain, so that this illegal industry can be passed down from generation to generation and flourish for a long time. In fact, such concerns of gamblers are justified.Due to the ongoing Anti-Japanese War, a large number of people from the mainland poured into Macau. These people had no entertainment, and gambling became their first choice.However, when they heard that there was such a miraculous director of Sic Bo in Taixing Company, they hesitated again.

In view of these situations, Ye Han accepted Zhou Ping's interview without hesitation. When answering the first question, he said: "Listening to the dice is to judge the points of the dice according to the different sounds of the dice falling, so as to achieve the purpose of winning money. As we all know, dice It is square, with six horizontal surfaces in total, and each side is engraved with one to six circular recesses according to the number of points. Due to the points being dug out, the remaining plane area of ​​the dice surface is different due to the number of points. Take a dice as For example, on the side of 'one point', only a dot in the middle is slightly concave, and the contact area is no different from that of a full plane when it lands on the ground; look at the side of 'six o'clock', because there are six small dots drilled, the dice A lot of faces have been dug out, and the remaining dice faces around the dots are much less than "one point". Therefore, when these two dice faces rub against other planes, the tones produced will not be the same. Normally Next, the side of "one point" landed on the ground, because only one dot was dug out, and there was not much gap in the middle, the sound was of course clean and neat, without any noise, until the dice came to a stop, it would always make the sound of "Z--" , like cicadas chirping. When 'one point' touches the ground, the uppermost side must be 'six o'clock'.

"'Two o'clock' is only a little worse than 'one point', and the sound is like cicadas when it lands, but it's a bit like 'cicadas dragging through other branches', the tone is slightly shorter, not as loud as 'one point', at this time, it should be judged It is 'five o'clock'; on the contrary, the sound of 'six o'clock' and 'five o'clock' landing is relatively low, and the tone is weak or dark. At this time, the surface side may be 'one o'clock' or 'two o'clock'. In addition, 'Three o'clock' and 'four o'clock' are somewhat ambiguous, between 'six o'clock' and 'one o'clock'.

"If you can't hear anything, then it is likely that the dice did not roll when they fell, and betting in this case depends entirely on luck. "As for whether everyone can practice 'listening dice', as long as they are not deaf, they can practice it. But how fast or slow it is varies from person to person, depending on their talent, and some people need more than ten years—for example, Tan pass, and some people only need ten days is enough - such as the following. "About my attitude towards 'listening to dice', Mr. Ye's banner is clear-not advisable. Gambling is about fair competition, and fair competition can only be based on luck. If you can't do this, you will lose your gambling meaning. I, Ye, practiced 'listening dice', in order to break 'listening dice', and I had to do it as a last resort." Ye Han gave the following answer to the second question: "Tan Tong is indeed a generation of gambling wizards. No matter his talent and perseverance, ordinary people cannot compare with him, but he believes too much in himself, which is the direct factor of his failure. As for whether he can make a comeback, as I said before, there is only luck in the gambling field, there is no fixed number, and life is like a gamble. Didn’t I, Ye, just come out of failure? One thing must be explained: I admire Tan Tong very much There are not many people in this world who dare to gamble with their lives. Most people hope to use gambling to make themselves better off. "My friends are very interested in the contest between me and Tan Tong last time. To answer the third question, I still have an old saying: Gambling is only based on luck. If he always wins, no matter what means he uses, it is abnormal. I The method of breaking Tantong is actually very simple, just add a thicker layer of transparent tape to the bottom of the dice cup. After the improved dice cup, the dice are spinning on the tape, and the sound is exactly the opposite of that without improvement. Later Tan Tong discovered this problem, but he shouldn't underestimate the enemy and shouted in front of the stage. At this time, I would naturally signal my subordinates to change a dice cup. As for Tan Tong being the banker in the end, it was no surprise that I could beat him. "When it comes to the fifth question, my friends' worries are unnecessary." Ye Han said with a smile, "Since Mr. Ye has disclosed all the secrets, what do you have to be afraid of? As a casino, only justice can survive , No matter how good Ye’s humanitarian skills are, he is afraid that gamblers will not enter the casino. How to find ways to satisfy customers is the foothold of Taixing Company. In the future, I will invite customers to participate in our Sic Bo improvement work—our aim is to Be fair, so that everyone can decide whether to win or lose based on luck on an equal basis. Thank you for your love for Ye, and I hope to continue to hear opinions from all sides." Once Zhou Ping's interview article was published, another "Ye Han craze" was set off in Macau.The gamblers turned from surprise to kindness to Ye Han's frankness.They dispelled their worries and boldly walked into the three major casinos run by Ye Han to gamble on Sic Bo.The gamblers who are keen on "listening to dice" have stopped training. They know that gambling in Ye Han's Sic Bo room can only be based on luck, no matter what kind of tricks they play, it will not work. Subsequent facts show that Ye Han revealed his secret, not only did not cause any loss to his image, on the contrary, he won widespread trust and admiration. Due to Tan Tong's failure, Lu Jiu could no longer enter the Macau gambling scene. Except for some of his men who were taken away by Tan Tong, most of them scattered like birds and beasts, and Qiu Lao Liu voted for Ye Han's men. Ye Han asked Qiu Laoliu to replace Jian Kun on the grounds that Sic Bo needed to be specialized, and was in charge of managing the Sic Bo field on Fifth Street in early October. He himself is still walking around, entertaining visits from newspapers or political figures from time to time. One day, just as Ye Han was seated in the office on the eighth floor of the Central Hotel, Qiong Zhi broke in and said to Ye Han: "Mr. Ye, you have just answered five questions raised by gamblers in the newspaper and achieved complete success. Now, by I ask you the sixth question: Recently, Mr. Ye has become famous and arrogant. Some people guess that the number of women around you must have multiplied. ?” Ye Han was taken aback for a moment, not expecting that Qiong Zhi would ask this question. When he realized it, he smiled and said, "Although Ye Han made a name call, it's not 'invincible'. I wish I could be surrounded by beauties and enjoy the endless beauty. It’s a pity that my parents made me look like this, so it’s hard to attract women. Although I have a name, I have no love affairs. Fortunately, God has mercy and rewarded me with a stunning woman. Unfortunately, I have been very busy these days, and I have neglected the beauty, and I hope Miss Qiongzhi will forgive me." Qiongzhi was amused by Ye Han's humorous expression, "Puchi" smiled, and pressed a pink finger against his forehead: "Damn it, no one really admires your face except me. Hey, Miss me?" Ye Hannu pouted, motioning for Qiongzhi to close the door.Qiong Zhi scratched Ye Han's cheek and said, "I want you like a greedy cat? I came to you today to talk about something serious." Ye Han stretched out his arms to embrace Qiongzhi into his arms, and salivated, "Isn't it serious to have sex?" Qiongzhi shook her arm, looked out of the open door with a blushing face, and begged for mercy in a low voice: "Brother Han, don't...Really, I want to tell you something." Ye Hansong stopped and became serious, asking: "What is it, is it really important?" Qiong Zhi nodded and looked at Ye Han: "Brother Han, do you know how the boss treats you recently?" "I don't know." Ye Han shook his head and looked at Qiong Zhi in confusion. "Maybe you think that you broke Tan Tong and saved Taixing Company. You have made great contributions, and the boss will thank you?" "I think," Ye Han said with his throat moving, "at least it should be like this—if they still have a little conscience." Qiongzhi sneered and said: "You really think so, but you are wrong, you can't be the boss with your conscience." Ye Han looked at Qiong Zhi in surprise, not knowing what happened. "Brother Han, your situation is very bad recently, Fu Laorong is very likely to make a decision that is not good for you." "Why...why?" Ye Han only felt a basin of cold water being poured from the top of his head, and his whole body was completely cooled.Recently, he has been on the hot spot, and unexpectedly there is an unexpected crisis lurking behind him. "Because you're overheated." Ye Han was even more discouraged when he heard this, and leaned his back weakly. "Speaking of conscience, Fu Laorong and Gao Kening thank you first for breaking the 'Listen to the Dice Party'. But slowly they found that you were talked about in the streets and alleys, and the boss was nothing. Later, "Macao Daily" added fuel to the flames and published articles From your photos and interviews, in the general impression, 'Ye Han' seems to be synonymous with Taixing Company, think about it, can they be psychologically balanced? Extremes lead to opposites, Brother Han, you have been too flamboyant recently." "Qiong Zhi, have you heard the news about how Fu Laorong will deal with me?" Qiongzhi shook his head. "Then how did you know he was going to attack me?" "This was purely accidental. Today I went to the board of directors to ask Fu Laorong to sign, and I heard him yelling in the office: 'What is Ye Han? I think he can still be proud for a few days, I will make him laugh and cry!' At that time, I ate Startled, I hurried back, and heard Jian Kun, Gao Kening, and Xie Dian speaking ill of you. Unfortunately, at this moment, Fu Laorong's maid brought boiling water in, and I had to go in." Ye Han bit his lip and pondered, two sentences were turning around in his mind: the bird is dead and the bow is hidden, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked.Now Taixing Company's business is in full swing, and the Sic Bo department is making tens of thousands of dollars every day. It's the same with him or without him. Of course, Fu Laorong may kill him, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. Just at this time, the phone rang, and the cigarette butt in Ye Han's hand fell on his thigh in shock. In the burning pain, an ominous premonition came to his heart... He guessed that the call was from Fu Laorong, and for him It's definitely not a good thing, he deliberately didn't answer it, and let the phone keep ringing, but every time it rang, it made him upset... Finally, he picked up the phone.Sure enough, it was Fu Laorong calling. Fu Laorong coughed dryly and said, "Boss Gao and I are discussing about using you again, but Macau is a small place, and there is only a little prospect for further development. Recently, I heard that the gambling industry in Shanghai is booming. Shanghai, do you know That’s a good place, a hundred times larger than Macau, where real heroes can show their talents... I have discussed with Boss Gao, and I plan to send the most capable team there to fight the world. You are in charge, Director Ye, what do you think?"
