Chapter 9 9. First acquaintance with gangsters

The beginning of things is always so clichéd.Xiao Hai said that he had a friend who knew about a gambling game and wanted to take me there to see if there was a chance to make a fortune.It's my job to do this, of course check it out. Xiao Hai invited that buddy out to have dinner together.When I met him, he was just a young gangster who just came out of the society. He was full of social words, and he would brag to me about how to set up a battle as soon as we met.The so-called formation is to be asked to squeeze the field. Standing there shows that there are many people and powerful. Generally, you don’t need to make a move. You will be paid 100 yuan once you stand, and 200 yuan if you do it.Said that if the two of us want to be okay, we can also join the team they set up.Take his words: "Just stand there and watch, and I will tie a small red cloth strip on your arm. You don't need to do anything, and you can get it for 100 yuan." Xiao Hai's reaction was also very flat, and he boasted more and more.He said that he knew a lot of students, even the physical education department of the Normal University had buddies, and he could single-handedly take charge of as many formations as he wanted, at most 500 people at a time.

I generally don't like to interrupt people when they're bragging.Bragging is a way for many people to be self-satisfied. If you like to brag, just listen.Maybe this gangster wants to show off how powerful he is in front of me, but his self-boasting strength is too low for the stage. Until the meal was almost over, he was still bragging to me, and the bragging became more and more boundless.It is said that he and his buddies don't bring a penny, and they can go to any restaurant to eat Bawang's meal.The overlord's meal he said was that he caught a few cockroaches and flies on his body somewhere, and when he was almost done eating, he secretly put them in the dish, and then negotiated with the restaurant.In this way, not only do you not have to pay for meals, but you can also extort three to five hundred yuan to spend, and if you don’t pay, you will make trouble and complain.In his words, he usually gives it obediently, and he does this for a living, and he doesn't have to work.His ideal is to take his buddies to eat all the restaurants in the city.

I saw that he was getting more and more outrageous, and even forgot why he had dinner with us, so I deliberately teased him and said: "The food at the ×× hotel is good, why don't you take us there for a meal sometime." In fact, the hotel I mentioned was run by Brother Jian.When the gangster heard this, he waved his hands again and again and said, "I don't dare to eat Bawang's meal at that place. Don't say I dare not, no one in the city dares. If you think you have lived enough, you can go and eat. I haven't lived enough yet." " I teased him and said, "I dare. What's the big deal, if you ask for money after eating, you don't have to die, just wipe your mouth and leave. Whoever you love." The gangster widened his eyes and said, "Don't brag. Just you? I don’t believe it.” I said, “It’s fine if you don’t believe me. I’ll take you to dinner tonight. If you dare to ask me for money, I’ll overturn his table.” When the bastard heard this, he put his head aside and added up, saying: "The third child? It seems that there is no one in the city. I haven't heard of it. Don't brag. I won't eat with you. Don't be beaten all over the place."

I didn't continue to tease him. In fact, when I ate there, I really finished eating. I wiped my mouth and left directly. No one asked me for the meal money, and I didn't even need to sign.Brother Jian has explained to the restaurant manager and all the foremen, but I have a thin skin and rarely eat.He always went to eat during the period when he was watching the game in the hotel, just for convenience. I blew a few words to the gangster, and I saw that the time was almost up, so I hurriedly asked him what the game he was going to introduce was going on. The gangster said that it was a big cockfight, and those who went there had to show 100,000 yuan worth of goods before they could play, otherwise they would not bring them.I asked this gangster in detail how they played, how they dealt cards, how long the game has been going on, and who are the players.But this gangster couldn't answer. He said that he was contacted by a buddy of his. His buddy wanted to come to meet us, but his wife was out and he wanted to look at the store, so he didn't come.To get to the details of the questions I asked, I went to meet his buddy after dinner, because his buddy was always playing there.Now that he said so, I agreed to meet him.I don't think this gangster is like a person who can gamble big money. He spends two dollars from the hotel every day, and he can't save enough for him to bet for a month.

Seeing that we agreed to meet his buddy, he pulled out a napkin in his pocket and looked back to see if any waiter was paying attention to him.Inside the napkin was a dead cockroach, and it looked like he was about to put it in the dish.I dare say he is going to invite us two guests.When I saw it, I quickly stopped him, we can't afford to lose that man.I said: "Don't worry, I often eat at this restaurant, don't do this, do me a favor." Over there, Xiaohai hurriedly called the waiter to pay the bill. When the waiter came, Xiao Hai and I were already laughing so hard that we couldn't stop laughing.They told me how much it was, and I tried my best to hold back a smile and gave the money to the waiter, which made the waiter confused, thinking that if he was mentally ill, he could laugh like this after paying the bill.

After leaving the restaurant, the gangster was still regretting the money for the meal.He complained: "It's better for you two to go first, I'm there by myself, and it doesn't matter to you two." Following his instructions, we came to a shop specializing in selling cigarettes.The gangster went in first, and we both went in after parking the car.The gangster was talking to a short-haired man over there, and I was watching cigarettes there.A waiter came over and asked me what I needed. I usually only smoke Changbaishan. Although it is cheap, I like the taste very much.But since you want to pretend to be a rich person to gamble, you have to buy two packs of good cigarettes.After the waiter gave me the cigarettes, I didn't check the authenticity carefully, so I tore open the packaging of one box and put both boxes in my bag.

The gangster turned to see me coming in, so he pulled the crew cut guy over to introduce me.While talking, the waiter who just started selling cigarettes came to me and said, "I'm sorry, I took the wrong one just now. I'll change two packs for you." While talking, he took two packs of cigarettes and wanted to change them with me.I just wanted to politely say that I had unsealed a pack, and suddenly realized that this girl who sells cigarettes cheated on me. The ones she sold to me at first were fake ones, but after the boss talked to her, he exchanged them for the real ones.It seems cheating is everywhere in life.

The flat-headed owner of the tobacco shop might be a little embarrassed, so he quickly explained to me: "Everyone who sells cigarettes is like this, and passers-by give them fake ones. If they are found to be fake at the time, they can be exchanged, and they won't admit it when they go out, and they won't admit it. I count on him to be a repeat customer. Otherwise, I count on the profit from selling real cigarettes to not cover my expenses at all. She doesn’t know that you’re here to do business with me, so don’t mind.” Like a mountain.Fortunately, being such a kaizi doesn't hurt her physique.

After exchanging pleasantries, he said that he didn't know what was going on in this game, his brother was playing, and he just went to watch the excitement occasionally.This guy pulled out another middleman.However, there are many such things, one after another, and they all want to get a share in the middle.For me, this kind of thing is also very common, no matter how many people you cheat, you can let me go up to play and take the money in the end.And the specific number of people has nothing to do with me, anyway, I want to take half of the profits, and they will share the rest. The small owner of the tobacco shop saw that I agreed to see his brother, so he quickly called his brother and asked him to come to the store for a while.It seems that his brother is not very far away, and will come in a while.His brother was very cautious, he dragged me into the alley behind the tobacco shop to talk, and asked me many questions in detail, as if he was not very sure about my craftsmanship.He said: "This group of people are old gamblers, and they have come here to make troubles before, so they have been careful not to be fooled. Are you sure you can win?" I said, "You can be sure." He was still worried, and said, "Then are you stealing the cards or making marks?" I said, "Don't worry about this, it's my business, and it has nothing to do with you if you lose." Because this is a local The venue, so I still dare to gamble, and I am not afraid of the situation that the winning money will not be taken away.

Seeing what I said, he was still not at ease, so he continued to ask me: "Can you do it if you don't touch the cards?" I said, "No touch cards? What kind of bet are you doing? You don't allow touch cards? Macau Let me touch the cards." He was a little embarrassed, and said: "The main thing is that everyone is scared by those old tricks from outside. Last time, a foreigner came and took away 200,000." I asked him: "No Let the touch cards, who cares about the dealing of the cards, who cares about the idea?" He said: "It's not that all the touch cards are not allowed, mainly for newcomers, they basically don't allow the cards to be moved." I think it's a bit funny, but also Bring something like this?If you say that you are taboo against foreigners, and you are afraid that they will make money, then you will be over if you don't take them to play, why do you have so many rules.

I asked him again: "Then I have a big hand, and I should have the right to deal the cards and not let the cards be moved? Which country's rules are you talking about?" He said: "No, mainly to say They will be wary of the newcomers." As he spoke, his eyes shone with a sly light, and I vaguely felt that this game was not as simple as the gangsters introduced earlier.But since I'm here, I still want to take a look.Besides, I am really a man in front of the house, and what Tokuko said is quite right.I'm afraid of his ball, we have people.
