Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Qi stood up and said, "It's bad luck! I'm so lucky today, I'll lose everything!"

The gambler on the side heard this and said: "My brother runs a big workshop, and I don't know how much money he brings in every day. What does it mean if he loses two guan of money a day? I heard someone said that there is a painting boat on the Han River, and you can get thousands of guan in a night."

Winning or losing, that’s gambling!”

Xu Qidao: "If you gamble too much, the government will arrest you. We are good, law-abiding citizens. How can we get to a place like that?"

Several gamblers laughed together. They all said that Xu Qi's business was so big, but he was very timid.

After leaving the gambling place, Xu Qi walked alone on the road. Thinking of what everyone said just now, he couldn't help but feel moved. He had loved gambling since he was a child, but he had never gambled big. He used to have no money, but now the government is too strict. It's like a factory area.

These small casinos are open to the public and have a limit on bets. As long as the limit is exceeded, someone will report it soon, and the government will come and arrest the person. Once caught, not only the gamblers will be locked up, but also the casino operators.

You can't run away. Not only do you have to be imprisoned for a few days, but you also have to be fined a lot of money. Especially for those who run casinos, the fines are often upwards of a hundred dollars. Casinos also make a lot of money, so who can bear such a heavy fine? Use

It didn't take long for those who ran the casinos to learn the lesson.

Looking at the red sun setting in the western sky, Xu Qi sighed: "I think I have never gambled once in my life. What a waste of time! As long as I can gamble happily, I am willing to go bankrupt!"

While shaking his head, he walked forward. Not far away, there was a stall selling mint water in front of him. He sat down and ordered a bowl of mint water.

Before he finished drinking the bowl of water, he saw Ning Erlang hurried over. When he saw Xu Qi, he hurriedly said hello.

Xu Qidao: "It's such a hot weather, brother, come over and drink a bowl of mint water! Escape from the heat and do things again!"

Ning Erlang shook his head and said: "Thank you for your kindness, brother. I have something to do here, so I can't delay."

Xu Qidao: "You are so stingy! I treat you today without your having to pay for it!"

After hearing this, Ning Erlang hesitated for a while and sat down at the stall. The host brought mint water and sat there drinking it with Xu Qi.

After taking two sips, Xu Qi said: "Looking at the way you are in a hurry, where are you going? Is there anything going on in the field?"

Ning Erlang shook his head: "There is nothing going on here. I have other things to do."

Xu Qidao: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it."

"Can't say, can't say." Ning Erlang shook his head repeatedly and said not a word.

The more Ning Erlang didn't say anything, the more curious Xu Qi became, feeling like a cat scratching his head. He moved his stool to Ning Erlang's side and made sure he spoke.

Unable to be beaten by Xu Qi, Ning Erlang turned around and looked around, then whispered: "Like my brother, I have been fond of gambling since I was a child——"

Xu Qi smiled and said: "How many people in this world are not good at gambling? It's just that some people don't have money and can't gamble."

Ning Erlang said: "My brother is talking about it. Since last year, my brother and I have opened several businesses to make cotton weaving machines. My brother knows that, and I have made a lot of money. In my free time, I go to Ge A's dad's place with my brother.

Gambling money, two times a day, is not a big deal. I heard someone say two days ago that someone opened a gambling boat on the Hanshui Painting Boat, and easily made thousands of money. And there was always cash there, and there was never any debt. I was tempted and asked about it.

This place is so enjoyable tonight! If you’re lucky, you can win a few hundred coins, and I’ll treat my brother to a drink tomorrow!”

Xu Qi listened and said: "Is there such a place? The government is so strict about it, who would dare to do such a thing?"

Ning Erlang leaned into Xu Qi's ear and said: "I have heard clearly that the people who drive gambling boats are not ordinary people. I heard that there are people from the Xiangyang County Government, people from the Inspection Department, and high-ranking officials from the Department of Envoys

Participate in it. If not, who would dare to drive a gambling boat on the Han River!"

"So powerful?" Xu Qi couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this. He just couldn't believe Ning Erlang's words for a moment.

After a while, he asked: "How much money did you bring with you to go to a place like this?"

Ning Erlang whispered: "My business is small, and I only have six hundred guan. Brother, this is all my wealth, please don't tell anyone."

Xu Qi said disdainfully: "Langlang Qiankun, are they still here to rob you? That gambling boat, can you really get off the money after winning it? I heard people say that these people who run casinos are the most evil. If you lose money, they will eat it.

Drink. But if you win money, you can’t leave!"

Ning Erlang said: "Brother, this is a big business! In the past few days, we have opened a factory here, and many people have visited it."

After hearing this, how could Xu Qi not be moved? After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said: "In that case, how about you take me there? Spend a few hundred bucks and have a good night! If you are lucky enough to win, you can take a few breaks in the factory.

Months!”

Ning Erlang shook his head: "How can you bring people in casually in a place like this? I met Tan Sanlang, who was from there, and he gave me a sign after he got familiar with it. Without a sign, you can't get on the boat.

go."

"What should I do?" If it's not easy to get up, Xu Qi will become more and more itchy.

At this moment, Ning Erlang pointed to a man walking on the road and said, "Look, that's Tan Sanlang."

Xu Qi took a closer look and saw that he looked familiar. After thinking about it, he often saw Ge Adi when he was gambling at his place in recent days. However, the two of them were far away from each other and had not spoken.

Now that he had met him, how could Xu Qi let him go? He hurriedly said to Ning Erlang, "I just happened to meet him. My brother invited him to drink a bowl of mint water."

Ning Erlang was pushed to the point where he had no choice but to shout loudly: "Brother Tan, where are you going? The weather is hot, so come over and drink a bowl of water to quench your thirst. When the heat subsides, we will go to the city together."

"It turns out that my brother is also here, which is just the right time." Tan Sanlang said as he walked over. Halfway through, he looked at Xu Qi who was sitting on the side, and he was secretly happy.

In this kind of boat gambling business, you can't let everyone who gets involved lose everything. You have to choose the target carefully, which one is to help you promote yourself, and which one is a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Those who choose to help you promote yourself, let them

Small wins, don't lose money. Don't be polite to the fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. You must be steady, accurate and ruthless in your moves to win them all at once. Only in this way can the business continue for a long time. Otherwise, who would dare to kill one by one?

Come to play on the gambling boat? Tan Sanlang has been here for a while and has spotted Xu Qi. Today Ning Erlang also arranged it by himself to lure Xu Qi into the trap, but Ning Erlang didn't know it. When he appeared at this time, Tan Sanlang

I sent the sign to Xu Qi.

After sitting down and just introducing each other, Xu Qi got straight to the point and asked about the brand.

Tan Sanlang was a little embarrassed. He said: "Let's not hide it from my brother. The government is very strict about gambling. If you are not very trustworthy, how can you dare to let people go up? Just like the Ning family brother, I have known me for many days before I dared to give him a sign."

"

Xu Qidao: "I often gamble in Ge's shop, and you should have seen that. In this industrial zone, although my factory is not big, it is not too small either. Ask Ning Erlang, how can I do it in a year?

Make a thousand bucks——”

Tan Sanlang said: "Whoever runs a factory here has no money? What I'm worried about is that he doesn't speak strictly and tells the truth."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, who here doesn't know that I, Xu Qi, have the harshest mouth!" Xu Qi slapped his chest repeatedly.

Tan Sanlang said to Ning Erlang: "Brother, is this really so? This is not a trivial matter, don't harm me!"
