Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 9

When it comes to the esoteric level of technology, gambling is no worse than any other industry. Ordinary people simply cannot imagine how good the so-called "technique" can be. A deck of 54 cards can be opened and shuffled casually. Remember the order of each card. There are 136 mahjong cards in the north and 144 mahjong cards in the south. Many people can clearly remember the cards in front of them. Toss a couplet, if it's not big or small, it's a little bigger than you, you say it's irritating or not.

"Forget it, with your skills, it's not bad if you don't lose your underwear."

"Your skills are so good, if you don't pay a thousand dollars, you can win money?"

"If you have good skills, you can still be caught? If you are caught out of a thousand, you will have your hands cut off. When you bet with foreigners, no one will help you intercede."

Hearing what Luo Yi said was too full, the others immediately stopped doing it, that is, everyone gave Luo Ke face, otherwise Luo Yi would probably have been beaten out of shape.

However, Luo Yi's skills should not be bad, otherwise he wouldn't dare to start the market, but he probably wasn't at the level of a gambler, otherwise he wouldn't be caught on the spot. It is enough to fool the foreign devils.

Probably because he felt that his words were not convincing, Luo Yi casually took out three dice, flipped them twice in his hand to adjust the position, and threw them on the table, and sure enough, three sixes came out. Luo retracted the dice, and then rolled three fives, followed by three fours, three threes, three twos, and three ones.

"Master Luo, it's not me who blows. I can throw as many times as you want. If you can do it, I will admit that your skills are better than mine." Luo Yi was full of confidence at the moment, and he could throw three A six is ​​not uncommon. If you practice casually with lead-filled dice, you can do it by yourself, but it is not easy to roll as many times as you want. This still requires a certain level of skill.

"Don't throw dice. Throwing dice is too complicated. I think foreigners can't understand it. Let's do something simple. Guess if there is any. Don't worry. This job can't be done by one person. We all have to do it together." Rock selected the project and planned. Naturally, he is also confident.

Don't overestimate the education level of foreigners these days. Rock can guarantee that many sailors can't even write their own names, so the method must not be too complicated. Guessing odd or even is simple enough, and a person can understand the rules with just two eyes. .

"Guess if there is? This, this is too simple." Luo Yi didn't expect that Rock had such an idea. In Luo Yi's view, guessing if there is a thing for children, if you want to fool foreigners, you have to fix it no matter what. Point tall things, guess if there is such a trick, street gangsters like Luo Yi don't bother to play, it's too shameful!

"It's better to be simple. If you put out a set of mahjong, those foreigners must know how to play it. Li De, bring me two bowls." Luo Ke ignored Luo Yi. It can be done, as long as the technique is concealed and the hand speed is fast enough, it is not too easy to fool foreigners.

The rules are really simple, two bowls, one gold coin, after the banker deducts the money, other people guess which bowl the gold coin is in after pressing the money, the wrong guess goes to the banker, and the banker loses one if the guess is right, the trick is Don’t buckle the bowl so fast, so that the bystanders can clearly see which bowl the gold coin is in. It feels like picking up the money for nothing. Then arrange a few trustees to win or lose, and it will soon There are fools who think they are smart.

It sounds very simple, right? In fact, it is indeed very simple, but this kind of simple deception is still tenacious until the 21st century, and countless people have been deceived.

Luo Yi did have two brushes, a simple gold coin and two bowls. Luo Yi put the gold coin under one of the bowls in front of Rock, but there was nothing after opening it. According to what Luo Yi said, this kind of The game Luo stopped playing after he was one or five years old, because it was too easy, and neither the technique nor the rules had any technical content, even if it was a gangster, it was not uncommon to use this method to deceive people, it was too embarrassing.

"Okay, let's do a division of labor now. Luo Yi, you will be the banker, and Li De will be the trustees. Let's go to the pier to try it out tonight." Simple deception also requires careful arrangements, and Luo Ke still has to find A few people watched the situation, guarding against someone who would cause trouble if they lost in a hurry.

"Play for foreigners, Roque, you're trying to die." After hearing Roque's plan, Anton's first reaction was that Roque was going to die.

"It doesn't matter, the target of the game is sailors who go to the ocean. They can't stay in Cape Town for too long. If someone has power, they won't be sailors. We don't make money from them. They have to be sent to casinos and Go to the kiln, why don't you give it to us." Rock has no psychological burden at all, and he is not cheating the British, as long as he handles it well, there will be no trouble.

The entire city of Cape Town is formed around those ocean-going cargo ships. The port officials make a lot of money by resupplying the passing ships and making a lot of money. Ordinary people don’t have much capital, so they can only find money around those sailors, so There should not be too many casinos, bars, and half-closed doors in the port area. The sailors are not good people. They go to sea for several months, sometimes even half a year. Resting in Cape Town is a rare relaxation, and they have nothing to do when they go ashore for a drink. It's normal to find a woman for two cups and two games. Some people even quit after winning money. Rock is just playing a game to earn some pocket money, and it's not to grab the business of those casinos. Real casinos don't like sailors either. We order three melons and two dates.

"It's fine in the past. Sharma will stare at you when he says something. You have to be careful and keep a low profile." Anton was worried. Now that Rock had offended the Indians, his every move was being watched by people. Mistakes can be catastrophic.

"I just wanted to deal with those Indians, so I tried to find money. We have no money or power in Cape Town. We still have to rely on the British to deal with the Indians. With money, at least we can deliver in front of the British." "Rock's method is simple and rude. Since Indians can serve as sheriffs, so can Chinese. Even if money is spent, Rock has to find a sheriff, so as to have the ability to compete with Sharma.

"Change money—all right." Anton also knew the benefits of being rich. With money, even if he didn't live under the British, he wouldn't starve to death in other places.

As long as Anton agrees, Rock's plan is to let Luo Yi, Li De, and the others come forward to make a scene. Anton will bring a few policemen in uniform to guard nearby. If no one makes trouble, everything will be fine. Another income.
