Chapter 55 53. Equipment preparations before going to the Emperor

I also met Brother Qiang when I was working in the casino. Since the casino was taken over, I haven’t heard from him for a long time. Later, I got in touch with Dabin.Once, he brought his daughter-in-law to my place for a tour, and I gave him a full reception.He also took good care of me when I was in the casino. Over the years after we broke up, he set up a small company with a few buddies in Guangzhou, specializing in selling gambling tools, such as cheating poker and teaching CDs, and occasionally advertised to recruit apprentices. , In fact, it is teaching people to cheat. Around 2003, after I finished catching tricks in Nanjing, I went to Guangzhou to play with Qiangzi.Qiangzi's small company is in a residential building, and he lives nearby, drinking tea and chatting everywhere when he has nothing to do all day long.Qiangzi has a seven or eight-year-old son, and we joked about letting him recognize me as a godfather.That little guy often comes to the company to play, and I just tease him when I have nothing to do.I said, "Son, I'm here to test you. I'll give you a question. Do the math. How much is 7+9?" The child looked at me fixedly, and suddenly became very angry and said, "You don't know how to do the math yourself. , You are stupid, tell me to count!" I froze there, not knowing what to say, and after a long time I came back to my senses and said, "You unlucky child, why are you so rude." The child reacted so quickly, Retorted: "You are unlucky, you have been unlucky for eight lifetimes."

After Qiangzi came back, I said to him: "Don't ask your son to come here, look at what this kid has become?" Qiangzi is very honorable, and his son is a manifestation of bad habits in my opinion. It's all a show of glory.I have nothing to say, but I feel sorry for the child. Even if he treats his son like this, it is conceivable for those apprentices.That day he brought a young man who was said to have come across three provinces to learn his craft from him.As soon as he entered the room, he started to flicker that person by the coffee table, and I sat on the chair and listened to him flicker.In order to convince the boy, he picked up poker and performed again.Qiangzi picked up a deck of poker cards, pretended to be mysterious and dealt a few hands of cards, and then reported the cards, which made the kid stunned for a while.Then I changed a deck of cards, shuffled it a few times, put it in front of me, and said to me: "Sir, you can cut it." I knew that he asked me to cut the cards through the gap he left. I wanted to hurt him, but thinking that this is the way people support their families, I gave up the idea and cut him a card along the bridge he made.He sent three K's to others, and he got three A's.

After watching the performance, the boy regarded him as a god, and then he took out mahjong to perform again.When I saw it, it was polarized mahjong, that is, the kind of mahjong that can find marks when facing the light at a good angle. There are many cheating mahjong here in Qiangzi, and polarized mahjong is just one of them. It is usually made of several layers of materials, but it is no different from the common mahjong in appearance.A special polarizer is sandwiched between the transparent layer and the opaque layer, and the card can be clearly seen through the polarizer.The sunlight in the room is good, and you can see it from an angle.Of course, the premise is to know how to see it. Polarization technology is also useful in Pai Gow.

The same kind of mahjong made of optical principles, as well as infrared perspective mahjong and three-dimensional mahjong.Infrared perspective mahjong is to add a PVC sheet in the middle of the mahjong, use special ink to print the mahjong's design and color points on the PVC sheet, wear infrared glasses or use appliances with similar functions such as glass teacups, you can also clearly see what you want to see. of each card. The principle of three-dimensional mahjong is similar to that of three-dimensional pictures. You can accurately know which card is which card within two meters.Of course, the premise is to know the knack of reading cards, how to use the blurred points of your eyes to see cards, I usually call it cross-eyed mahjong.Because the people watching are turning their eyes in the middle.

There is also an all-round five-sided see-through mahjong. When two cards are stacked, you can also see the underside of the bottom card. The application of polarized mahjong is not as extensive as marked mahjong.The so-called mark mahjong is to make a mark from the back or side of the mahjong, which can be identified by the appearance.Some manufacturers have already made the marks when they leave the factory, and there are also instructions to teach people how to recognize these marks.Some are printed on the patterns, and some are directly processed on the back of the mahjong with chemical potions. Wear special contact lenses to see the marks on the back.There is a pair of marked mahjong on the table. For those who want to cheat, they basically play with the cards revealed.

In addition to looking at the cards, there is also cheating by changing the cards, that is, changing the mahjong. You may not always provide the cards on the mahjong table. Gambling with other people's mahjong is the best way to use mahjong.There are only those kinds of mahjong specifications. Those who come up with a thousand ideas will bring the same "shell" mahjong to play. Whatever card they need, just put the shell on any card he can get.However, those who use change-point mahjong to ask for cheating should have a good memory, and must calculate whether this card has already appeared 4 cards.

In addition to mahjong, the mahjong table is also very interesting.Qiangzi has an automatic wide-angle scanning mahjong table here. The four corners of the mahjong table are equipped with pinhole cameras. The camera can display the cards of each house on the computer monitor, and the accomplices use single-frequency radio to notify the table. Everyone has what cards.There is also a mahjong table for changing cards, the appearance is the same as the mahjong table you see in the teahouse, just a little bit of processing, install a mechanism in a hidden place, fix the mahjong in place, touch the mechanism, and you can instantly turn your own Replace the card with the one you want.

There is also a remote-controlled mahjong table, where you can shuffle a hand of Tianhe cards when you shuffle the cards. When you get the hand, you get the winning card. Generally, it is controlled by a remote control the size of a car key. When used with the remote control dice, you can play your own With any points you want, it's not a problem to give anyone all the points.It's no use when the God of Gamblers comes. Long story short, Qiangzi showed the kid his cheating tools here like a magic trick, boasting so much that he fooled the kid anyway. The kid expressed his desire to learn how to deal and recognize poker cards, and immediately paid the tuition fee.He started "teaching work". He taught the kid the simplest cheating techniques and how to use old poker to cheat.

The boy showed a disappointed expression, and Qiangzi started to sell his products again: mahjong, poker, changing hands, contact lenses, potions and the like.That price seems to have only been taken advantage of by a person in ten years, it is ridiculously expensive.The kid quit on the spot and asked Qiangzi to refund the money, saying that it would be very difficult to use the things he taught. Qiangzi showed a rascal look, and the two had a dispute. Several friends of Qiangzi also came out from other rooms, ready to forcefully drive the kid away. I feel a little sympathetic to that kid, he seemed to have said earlier that he lost badly, his father was laid off, and his mother went to work as a temporary worker every day.He used to have a very good job, but after losing money, he lost his job and owed a lot of foreign debts.Those people blocked him every day at the door of his house asking for his gambling debts. Now that he has nowhere to go back home, the money he came to Guangzhou was still the money of the scammer.

I persuaded everyone to say, "I'll talk to this little brother, if we can't talk about it, let's talk." Those people knew my background, they were very face-saving, and entered the inner room again.I pushed the cursing Qiangzi into the inner room, closed the door and said to him: "You are really misleading people, you are not teaching him to cheat, you are teaching him to be caught! Calm down, I will take care of it for you. " Qiangzi said: "That kid has no way to get the money back." I said, "I know, just stop talking." I only sent this kid away after teaching a few simple things. That was the only time I taught others a thousand things after I "successful".At that time, if Qiangzi beat the person away, and the kid came back to take revenge, the consequences might be dire.The gambler's revenge is well known to me, sometimes bordering on madness.

After the kid left, I asked Qiangzi: "Why should I teach people this thing? It's something that can't be put on the table." He didn't care, and said that there are too many people doing the same thing in Guangzhou.Teaching is actually just a name, and he mainly makes money by selling gambling tools. He is not skilled, but he has seen a lot more equipment than me.We went out to drink together in the evening, talking about his business, I know most of his cheating tools, probably to show off, he said to me mysteriously: "There is one good thing, you must have never seen it, but I am now It’s out of stock, a buddy of mine got it from Macau, and no one in the mainland is using it.” I was also a little curious and asked him, "How much is a set?" He said a somewhat mysterious purchase price, about 100,000.Good guy, it's so expensive, let him get the manual and other things to show me first. Qiangzi asked me: "Do you want to buy it? I'll give you a discount." I said, "Why did I buy that thing? I just want to know what's going on, and I don't want to buy it." A few days after I returned from Guangzhou, Qiangzi really sent me the manual of that thing by express.Tokuko came to me, I showed it to him, and said with emotion: "The current technology is really scary, everything has come out." He held it and studied it for a while, and then said to me, "This thing can be taken out and used." I asked him how to use it, and he said, "Go to the casino and use it." I spat at him and said, "Pull it down." He was persistent, and repeatedly explained that as long as this thing cooperates well, there is absolutely no problem.Anyway, with Tokuko, I must be the one who gave in in the end.What's more, although I always say that I dare not go to a casino, subconsciously I still want to compete in a "regular" casino. Who says casinos can't do it?Check it out, they shouldn't be able to catch it. Dezi suggested to go to the Emperor, which has only opened recently and has many loopholes, unlike Macau, which has been open for many years, and there are basically not many loopholes.And the equipment came from Macau, so it's hard to guarantee that Macau casinos don't know about it. The Emperor is in North Korea, how can this instrument be brought there?Even if it is taken over, it is a big problem to search the body when entering the casino. At this time, I thought of Lao Jin, he must have a way to bring the instrument there.I hung up the phone to Lao Jin with the attitude of giving it a try.Lao Jin asked me why I took it there?I told him the truth, saying that if I want to participate, I will be responsible for bringing things there.According to what he said, a few packs of cigarettes can be cleared by North Korean customs. Dezi and I went to Guangzhou to find Qiangzi, and asked Qiangzi to build a set of equipment to see if it was as amazing as the manual.After seeing the goods, it was indeed the case, so we invested in a set, and Qiangzi quickly brought it over from Macau. This is a laser scanning speed measuring instrument, an analyzer, a computer, and a mobile phone; there is an organ on the mobile phone, which can send a beam of laser light invisible to the naked eye to the rolling ball, and then feed back the result to the analyzer; The analyzer is connected to the computer, and the computer has a special program for calculating the speed, which can calculate the ball's landing point within a few seconds of receiving the signal; and then transmit the analyzed data back to the display screen of the mobile phone. We are going to use this thing to engage in casino roulette.Big casinos generally have roulette, which is a large turntable, divided into 36 sectors, engraved with 35 numbers, plus a 0.Corresponding to the numbers, there are 36 grooves on the outermost end of the turntable, and the numbers on the roulette are not arranged in order.The dealer releases a small ball and spins it on the turntable to see which numbered groove the ball can land on.Players can bet on single or even numbers, or on specific numbers, on one specific number, or on many numbers.A combination of various numbers is drawn on the gaming table, and players can place their chips on it after choosing it.Betting on a single number is called a fixed bet, with the highest odds of up to 35 times.You can also bet on the size, below 17 is small, and above is big, bet on color, red and black, twice the payout. The croupier of the roulette wheel is also called the operator and is responsible for beading.After the beads are hit, you can judge which area the ball will land on according to the strength of the dealer's ball and the speed of the ball.The laser scanning velocimeter is used to measure the speed of the ball, and the manual says that the left and right errors are not more than 2 points. After the item was delivered, I mobilized all the connections to test whether it was as accurate as the manual said. Finally, I found an underground casino in Haicheng to do the test. It was indeed the same as the manual, and the error did not exceed 2 points. . The things are indeed good things. At this time, Tokuko raised a new problem: the mobile phone cannot be carried.The North Korean customs does not allow it to be taken, and it is not allowed to take it in the casino. When I heard this, I wanted to kick him and said, "It's purely an afterthought, why didn't you say it earlier?" He rubbed his head and said with a smirk, "I forgot." He looked innocent. No way, thanks to the casino owner, we went to Guangzhou to find Qiangzi.Let him contact his buddy, can he process it or change something that receives the signal.It took a lot of money to convert the mobile phone into a watch, with the knob sending a laser beam and the dial receiving the feedback information. After tossing for half a month, the equipment was debugged.All is ready except for the opportunity.
