Chapter 51 Crown Casino


Chapter 51 Crown Casino

In the next month, Chen Xi devoted himself to work, and on weekends he went to Shazhi's place to spend the day.

As for Shen Xinyi, since the last disagreement with him, she has not been indifferent to Chen Xi, but chatted with him as always, but the communication was limited to campus.

The heavy academic studies in the architecture major made her often travel to various places with her teacher, so in normal times, there was not much private communication between them.

“The speed of making money is beyond my expectation. I think I can open an Internet cafe in advance.”

"That's great. If we don't have enough money, we can think of a way."

Dongdong and Xiao Ming attach great importance to opening an Internet cafe, and Chen Xi naturally understands Xiao Ming's words.

If you have insufficient funds, of course you have to ask your family for help.

But he did some calculations and found that the funding would not be too far apart, but the location selection was more difficult.

The Internet cafe that his friend opened in Box Hill in his previous life was located in a very good location, facing the road, with a bus stop and a restaurant next to it, so it made a lot of money.

It's just that it seems to be a closed clothing store now. I don't know who the landlord is, and there's no contact information at the door.

You have to find someone to ask. You need to ask the local old Chinese.

"By the way, he should know."

The first person Chen Xi thought of was the owner of a pancake and fruit stall in Box Hill.

This person has been in Tu'ao for more than 20 years. He was originally a top student at Qingjin Normal University in China. He went to Tu'ao to develop himself and worked many jobs. Finally, he made a fortune by selling pancakes and fruits.

He has stayed at Box Hill for many years and naturally knows a lot of people. It is best to ask him for information.

Chen Xi has been having breakfast with him every day since high school and is already very familiar with the boss.

“Hey, boss.”

Box Hill Pancake and Fruit Shop is not large, about ten square meters.

The boss also sells crepes, which are very similar to pancakes but with different ingredients. The taste is also salty and sweet.

In addition, the store also provides food such as tofu curd and spicy spicy soup.

Although this business seems inconspicuous, a pancake can sell for nearly ten Australian dollars, and with tofu curd and other foods, the price of the whole meal is more expensive than a bowl of rice bowl.

However, customers usually need to queue up to buy, and even some ghosts like it.

Over the years, the boss has made a lot of money from this.

Now the store has hired three clerks, and the boss is basically sitting idle.

"Boss, I want to ask you something."

Chen Xi walked over and greeted him warmly, and then began to ask about the Internet cafe store.

"I know the owner of the shop. He is usually very busy and rarely sees other people."

"Oh? Tell me."

Boss Although he is over 40 years old, he still likes to chat with people.

This may be due to his relatively free time.

“I met him when I first arrived in Tuao. At that time, everyone worked very hard. Unfortunately, he later became obsessed with gambling and spent all day in the Casino. He is willing to rent out vacant shops and thinks that the small money is not worth the money he earns..."

I went and met another person from my previous life who had the same idea.

Chen Xi scratched his head, not knowing how to evaluate the other party.

I also experienced the same thing in my previous life.

"He hasn't come to my place to eat pancakes for a long time." The boss scratched his thin hair.

"Can you call him for me?" Chen Xi looked at the boss.

"Hey, he is probably busy at the gambling table right now. How can he have time to answer the phone?" The boss smiled and felt that this was an impossible thing. If he wanted the other party to answer the phone, he would probably have to wait until the next life. Bar.

“Do you have any photos of him?” Chen Xi continued to ask.

“You still want to find him? There are photos.”

After the boss finished speaking, he walked into the store and took down a photo full of oil stains from the wall. Judging from the photo, it should have been taken very early. The two people in the photo are estimated to be around thirty years old and have very different looks. Not big.

“Isn’t this Lao Wang?” Looking at the middle-aged man in the photo, Chen Xi couldn’t help but say in surprise. He knew this man and had often met him at Casino (casino) before. We also fought together for a lot of time.

“Oh? Do you know him?” The boss looked surprised.

“We’ve met.” Chen Xi nodded.

“Even I haven’t seen him for a long time, but you have actually seen him.” The boss didn’t believe it.

Although Lao Wang sometimes comes to eat pancakes at his place, that was a long time ago.

He was not sure when he last came, it was probably a few months ago. He didn't know where Chen Xi met Lao Wang. He called Lao Wang before, but the voice on the other end was very noisy and he hung up the phone without saying a few words. He never contacted the other party again.

"In that case, I might as well go find him directly." Chen Xi stood up.

"You'd better mention my name in front of him." The boss pointed at himself.

"That's natural."

Chen Xi looked at the time and found that it was already afternoon.

Lao Wang is basically always in the Casino. When he feels sleepy, he goes to the hotel upstairs to sleep, and when he wakes up, he continues to play, so it is not difficult to find him.

“Hey, it’s such a headache to have to go to that place again.”

Originally he planned to change his ways, but now he was going to Casino again. The thought of this made him a little troubled.

It's hard for a gambler to get rid of his gambling addiction, let alone an old gambler like him.

In the past, he was like Lao Wang, squatting in the Casino every day, sometimes not even going to class, and spending the night in a hotel when he was tired.

The best way to get rid of gambling addiction is to endure it. Once you take one step, it will be difficult to turn back.

Of course he understands this truth, but there is nothing he can do now. Who let Lao Wang be the owner of that shop?

Casino only allows adults to enter, and some young-looking people also need to see ID cards or shields to enter.

Bars and clubs in Tuao require adults to enter, but Internet cafes do not.

Cigarettes and alcohol can only be purchased by adults, and this restriction is relatively strictly enforced in the protection of minors in Tu'ao.

Severe penalties and even jail time will be imposed for selling cigarettes and alcohol to minors without permission.

Crown Casino is the only D casino in Mocun. It is located by the river in the city center and has a very advantageous location.

There is a high-end hotel upstairs and a luxury store downstairs. Those who win money will naturally go in and spend money.

The restaurants on the first floor are also very high-end, with a meal costing thousands of Australian dollars.

He used to spend money there every day, but now that he thinks about it, it really feels like a waste.

“Hi, Jerry!”

“Hi!”

After parking the car, he swaggered in and called the doorman Jerry. Say hello.

The tall doorman was obviously taken aback, wondering when he knew the other person.

In the previous life, Chen Xi was relatively familiar with him. He often came in and out of here, and would chat with Jerry when he had nothing to do.

“Hey, I don’t even have a membership card now. Lao Wang should be in the VIP room.”

Casino has a membership system, which are bronze card, silver card, gold card, Platinum and black cards.

The first four types of cards can be upgraded only by earning enough points, while the black card is a special card that can only be obtained by being invited by Casino.

There is another way to get a black card if you lose up to 300,000 Australian dollars in a single time.

In his previous life, he also had a Casino membership card, which allowed him to enjoy free hotels, free parking, and shopping discounts several times a month.

The VIP room requires a gold card or above to enter. Although this system will be abolished in the future, at present, he does not even have a bronze card and cannot enter at all.

It is impossible to apply for a membership card and then upgrade, because he has no intention of continuing to play.

Now I can only try my luck and wait at the door to see if Lao Wang will pass by.

The atmosphere in Casino is very noisy, with loud music playing 24 hours a day, one of the purposes of which is naturally to create mood swings in the players.

Those music can stir up people's emotions.

As long as you show your gold membership card, drinks are free, and these things don't cost much.

Those gamblers drank too much, and one bet was equivalent to the price of dozens of drinks.

There are three VIP rooms here, and he chose the one that Lao Wang frequents because there are more tables here and the amount of chips for betting is larger than the other two places.

Lao Wang likes places with many people, so the probability of meeting each other while waiting here is the highest.

"Where did this turtle grandson go?"

After waiting outside for nearly half an hour, Chen Xi became a little impatient.

Smoking is not allowed here, so you need to go outside to smoke, but it suffocates him.

He stretched his head and looked inside the VIP room. Hundreds of people were shouting loudly around the table, but Lao Wang was nowhere to be seen.
