Chapter 9 Draft by Water
When it comes to the profundity of technology, gambling is no worse than any other line, ordinary people simply can't imagine the so-called "good technology" can be good to what extent, a deck of playing cards 54, open and shuffle casually, someone can just remember the order of each card, 136 mahjong in the north, 144 mahjong in the south, many people can clearly remember what the cards in front of them are, as for throwing the sieve guess the size, the technique is even more mysterious, do not throw the leopard do not throw the lianzi, not big or small than you a little bigger, You say it's not annoying.
"Forget it, with your skills, it's not bad if you don't lose your underwear."
"You're a good fart, if you don't make a thousand, you can win?"
"If you're skilled, you can still get caught? If you are caught, you will have to cut off your hands, and when the time comes, there will be no one to intercede with foreigners. ”
Listening to what Luo Yi said was too full, the other people immediately stopped doing it, that is, everyone gave Luo Ke face, otherwise Luo Yi would have been beaten out of shape.
However, Luo Yi's skills should not be bad, otherwise he would not dare to open the market, but it is estimated that it is not to the level of a gambling king, otherwise he will not be caught red-handed, and Luo Ke does not need Luo Yi's skills to be exquisite, it is enough to be able to fool foreign devils.
Probably feeling that his words were not convincing, Luo Yi took out three sieves casually, adjusted the position twice in the palm of his hand, and threw them on the table, and sure enough, he threw out three sixes, which was not over, Luo took back the sieve, and then threw out three fives, followed by three fours, three threes, three twos, and three ones.
"Master Luo, it's not me Luo Yi, I can throw a few points if you want it, if you can do it, I will admit that your skills are better than mine." Luo Yi is full of confidence at this time, it is not uncommon to be able to throw three sixes, and if you practice it casually with a sieve filled with lead, you can do it alone, but it is not easy to throw a few points at a few points, and this still requires a certain amount of skills.
"Don't throw a sieve, it's too complicated to throw a sieve, I guess foreigners can't understand it, let's make something simple, guess if there is one, you don't have to rush, this job can't be done alone, let's all have to go together." Roque selected the project, and the plan was naturally confident.
Don't overestimate the education level of foreigners in these years, Roque dares to guarantee that many sailors can't even write their own names, so the way must not be too complicated, guessing the odd and double is simple enough, and a person can understand the rules at a glance.
"Guess what? This, that's too simple. Luo Yi didn't expect Luo Ke to have this idea, in Luo Yi's opinion, guess if there is something that only children play, if you want to fool foreigners, you have to make some tall things, guess if there is such a trick, Luo Yi is too lazy to play with street gangsters, it's too embarrassing!
"It's good to be simple, you put a pair of mahjong out, and those foreigners need to be able to play, Li De, take two bowls." Luo Ke didn't care about Luo Yi, if it weren't for Luo Ke's own shame, Luo Ke himself could be on it, as long as the technique was concealed and the hand speed was fast enough, it was not too simple to fool foreigners.
The rules are really simple, two bowls, a gold coin, after the dealer deducted it, others pressed the money to guess which bowl the gold coin was, guessed the wrong money to the dealer, guessed the dealer a loss of one, the trick is to deduct the bowl when don't deduct so fast, so that onlookers can clearly see which bowl the gold coin is, feel like the money is picked up for nothing, next to the arrangement of a few more to win or lose, soon there will be a fool who thinks he is smart.
It sounds simple, and it is actually very simple, but it is this simple scam that has survived into the 21st century, and countless people have been deceived.
Luo Yi does have two brushes, a simple gold coin and two bowls, Luo Yi put the gold coin under one of the bowls in front of Luo Ke, but after opening it, there is no, according to Luo Yi's words, this kind of game Luo Yi will not play after the age of five, because it is too easy, whether it is a technique or the rules, there is no technical content, even if it is a gangster, it is not rare to deceive people in this way, it is too embarrassing.
"Okay, now do a division of labor, Luo Yi, you will be the banker, Li De, you will be the trust, let's go to the dock in the evening to give it a try." Simple tricks also need to be carefully arranged, and Roque has to find a few people to watch the scene, in case someone loses in a hurry and makes trouble.
"Make a game for foreigners, Roque, you're dying." After Anton heard Roque's plan, his first reaction was that Roque would die.
"It doesn't matter, the object of the game is sailors who go to the ocean, they can't stay in Cape Town for too long, if someone is powerful, they won't be sailors, we don't make their money, they have to be sent to casinos and kilns, it's better to give it to us." Roque has no psychological burden at all, and he is not a British, as long as he grasps the degree well, he will not make any trouble.
The whole city of Cape Town is formed around those ocean-going freighters, the port officials make a lot of money, supply the passing ships, and make a lot of money, ordinary people don't have much capital, they can only find money around those sailors, so there are not too many casinos, bars, and half-closed doors in the port area, and the sailors are not good people, they go to sea for several months, sometimes even half a year, and it is rare to rest in Cape Town, and it is too normal to go ashore to drink two cups and play two handfuls to find a woman, and some people even resign directly after winning money, Roque is just doing a game, ready to earn some pocket money, and not to rob the business of those casinos, and the real casinos don't look down on the sailors' little melons and dates.
"If it's in the past, Sharma will stare at you when he releases his words, you have to be careful and keep a low profile." Anton is worried, Roque has now offended the Indians, every move is being watched, and the slightest mistake is a monstrous disaster.
"It's just to deal with those Indians, that's why I'm trying to find a way to find money, we have no money and no power in Cape Town, and we still have to rely on the British to deal with the Indians, and with money, at least we can talk in front of the British." Roque's way is simple and rude, since the Indian can be a sheriff, then the Chinese can also do it, even if it is smashed with money, Roque must smash a sheriff, so that he can have the ability to resist Sharma.
"Find the money - okay." Anton also knows the benefits of having money, and with money, even if he doesn't eat under the British, he won't starve to death elsewhere.
As long as Anton agrees, Roque's plan is to let Luo Yi and Li De come forward to make a game, Anton will take a few policemen in uniforms to guard the neighborhood, no one will make trouble, everything will be fine, and if someone makes trouble Anton they will directly come forward to arrest people, which is another amount of income.
