In this way, Xia Feng used the most simple and crude way to become a general under Richie.

As the saying goes, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time, and the road has to go step by step, and you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

But Xia Feng obviously doesn't have the leisure to grind tofu, he understands the reason, but in his eyes, Richie is not a top-notch dish, at most an appetizer.

...........

The next morning, Xia Feng appeared on the fifth floor of the casino.

As agreed, Reddy, Richie's right-hand man, will familiarize him with the casino's business today.

Reddy's race is Liboli, that is, a goo-goo beast like Hemmer and his second uncle, and it can be seen that although Reddy's external identity is only an assistant, he is basically Richie's stand-in.

The Frido Chamber of Commerce is responsible for all the industries in Harpy City, including the cooperation with the Liye family's light manganese mines, and he is a capable doer.

At the dinner table yesterday, Rich mentioned that there has been a change in the recent cooperation with the Liye family in light manganese mines, and Xia Feng guessed that this should be related to the chemical plant that he blew up in Tangde, and the third plant has not yet been built, which is one less, and the output of finished light manganese ore must be greatly reduced.

The smuggling of light manganese ore is like a big river, in order to benefit from the river water, all the forces spend manpower and energy to maintain the riverbed, and when they are ready to harvest, everyone holds a fishing rod and waits for the fish to be hooked, at this time the water is suddenly cut off, what do you say?

From transportation to storage and finally to export, now a whole chain is cut off because the source is cut into a standby state, people can not dry up, at this time, there will be a lot of things to change, such as when the water flow will be restored, whether the personnel should be adjusted, whether to increase the price to reduce losses and so on.

Of course, the business of light manganese ore has nothing to do with Xia Feng at present, although the current situation is due to him.

.............

In a separate office on the fifth floor of the casino, Reddy explained to him in detail how the casino works.

This is very simple, and it is similar to what Xia Feng expected before, a casino of this scale is no longer relying on small means such as fraud, on the contrary, it is strictly forbidden to describe thousands of people in the casino, whether it is a dealer or a guest, once found, it will basically disappear from the world.

Pay attention to the rules and reputation, is the foundation of a casino to make money, down to a few cents and a few dollars of coin machines, up to dozens of people to participate in the millions of games, as a dealer of the casino, is always only to make money and not lose, although Xia Feng does not understand the specific rules of this, but he knows that this involves a probability problem.

Just like flipping a coin, the probability of heads and tails is 50% each, you roll 10 times in a row, and there will be many possibilities for this result, such as 5 heads and 5 tails, 6 heads and 4 tails, 7 heads and 8 heads, and even 10 heads or 10 heads are possible, but when you roll an infinite number of times, the number of heads and tails will become more and more balanced, and finally reach a perfect 50%.

In the eyes of gamblers, they see variables, but in the casino's position, what they need to create is a fixed number of variables.

The smaller the odds of winning, the greater the profit, and vice versa, but the casino will never let this probability exceed 50%.

For example, if a person wins 200,000 in the casino with 200 chips, this is possible, but the casino will not go out of business because of the loss of 200,000, just like a coin toss, as long as the person continues to play, or as long as there are people who continue to play, the probability will return to the casino's preset with the infinite increase in the number of times.

It may sound ironic that casinos that are dealers don't choose to gamble, and as long as someone plays, they will always make money.

..............

After listening to Reddy's explanation, Xia Feng was about to fall asleep, his mother had taught him not to gamble since he was a child, so he was not interested in these things at all.

There is a separate department for probability calculations and the introduction of new plays, while dealers, props, chips, drinks, waiters and waiters are all handled by the general department of the casino, in addition to finance and security.

These things sound complicated, but it's as simple as thinking about it, it's like opening a barbecue restaurant.

As long as the personnel are sufficient and the division of labor is clear, the ministry only needs to lie down and collect money after the arrangement is in place, some people are obviously not the boss, but they worry more than the boss, and some people are obviously the boss, but the work is more tired than the employees, which is wrong.

Xia Feng felt that no matter whether he was the boss or not, anyway, Richie said that the casino was responsible for him, so he had to be the easiest boss.

............

When Reddy basically introduced the operation of the casino, the time was close to noon, and before lunch, Xia Feng had one last thing to know, which was also what he was most concerned about.

How much money can the casino make, or rather, how much he can benefit from it.

To be honest, although this casino in Happi City is the largest casino in the city, the scale is not very shocking, but the interior decoration is more luxurious, as we all know, the casino relies on traffic and the local economy, such as some tourist cities or special economic zones, such as Happi City, such a medium-sized city, how to say, it is so.

After reading the accounts of the past few months, Xia Feng felt that it was similar to what he had guessed.

The gross income of the casino is basically about 4 million yuan per month, of course, this is only the money in the account, except for some special gambling games, and this income has to subtract the wages of casino employees, as well as the share of each supervisor, because it belongs to the industry of the Frydo Chamber of Commerce, the headquarters of Notting City will take 20%, and the rest of the money will go to Richie.

Now the casino is handed over to Xia Feng to be responsible, and the treatment given by Rich is to remove the expenses of the department, 3% of the net income, that is to say, if the casino can bring Rich a net income of 10 million a year, then Xia Feng will have 3 million shares, of course, there is no mistake.

To be honest, Xia Feng doesn't know much about these things, but about dividing Richie must be in accordance with the rules, Xia Feng doesn't need to doubt this, what he cares about now is that this is a little different from the plan he envisioned, and it has nothing to do with money.

.............

At noon, Reddy took Xia Feng to have a meal with a group of big-bellied guys in suits and leather shoes.

After introduction, these people are all local officials in Harpy City, and they have some connections with the casino business.

Xia Feng obviously didn't have much interest in these guys, and he didn't remember the names of anyone except the head of the security bureau and the mayor's secretary.

.............

Back at the casino office in the afternoon, Reddy gave him two things.

An envelope, a car key.

"This is the red envelope that Boss Ridge gave you, there are 200,000 in it, and this car is temporarily driven for you."

When I saw Qian Xiafeng, I was immediately happy.

"Hey, get paid before you work, Boss Rich is really interesting."

Reddy patted Xia Feng on the shoulder.

"Work hard, there will be more opportunities to make money in the future."
