my old life

Chapter 2138
Everything in this world is a relationship between use and being used. If you want not to be eliminated by this world, you must first make yourself valuable!
"Xiong Sanming, GOOD! Let's make friends."

Jones changed his attitude towards me in a short period of time, but I did not forget Bai Xingchen's advice, he told me to be careful of this troublesome Mexican.

"No problem, OKOK!" I smiled and shook hands with Jones, the two seemed to be intimate.

Before I knew it, it was three o'clock at noon, and Mike arranged a table for afternoon tea, with only simple pastries and coffee.

The day and night upside-down life makes people feel relaxed, like eating breakfast at three o'clock in the afternoon, strong coffee can stimulate people's nerves and make people feel refreshed.

"Marrying a card from the air, what a great superpower!" Jones had just learned a phrase, and here they can more or less speak Chinese.

In fact, where there is gambling, there are Chinese, and wherever there are Chinese, there are gambling addicts. The only advantage is that Chinese is spread all over the world.

During the afternoon tea, Mike didn't ask any questions. I know that he is a man of city and determination, and he is also a master of insight into people's hearts.

To be honest, I really enjoy the feeling of being 'cared for' by others. I don't need to bother to manage the feelings around me, because I don't need to be the core hub.

In this gang in Hawaii, Mike is the well-deserved boss!He is rich and rich like an employer, but he downplays the relationship between hiring and being hired by means of courting affection.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is like wooing a group of old people, making each other friends, turning use into cooperation, and using benefits to consolidate the relationship between everyone.

Many things cannot stand scrutiny, and many feelings are based on interests. Only common interests can solidify common feelings!
Mike's team is very similar to my old group, the only difference is that I choose to bring my friends to open a casino to make money, and Mike takes people to participate in private gambling to make money.

Two different ways but same purpose, only Mike has what I don't have...

It is very difficult to find large-scale private gambling games in China. Generally, people who are familiar with them play boss games and internal games, and will not let outsiders participate in them at all.

In some other mountain running games, boat gambling games, and water pumping games, the liquidity is too high and there is no guarantee for safety. The rest of the underground casinos have masters sitting on the watch and usually responsible for killing water fish.

The gangsters who form a group don't have many games to play at all. They either help the casino to catch thousands of fish, or they go to the casino to sit in the casino and start a game with the gangsters. The risks can be imagined!

There are also very few people who play Texas Hold'em or Stud in China. Different regions have different poker cultures, which will also create different choices.

If Mike could gather a group of poker players and magicians, he must be able to find a lot of private games to play games like Texas Hold'em or Stud Five Cards.

Texas Hold'em is the most popular now, and there are many professional players and competitions, which can further promote the development of this poker culture, and at the same time, there are not many restrictions on gamblers.

But I don't have to worry about it now, with Mike as the boss as the core control bureau, I can live a relaxed life and don't have to work hard to win anyone over.

Even if there is any conflict between me and other people, Mike will try his best to mediate. After all, in a narrow sense, we are all Mike's "tools" to make money.

After simply eating some pastries and drinking a cup of coffee, my stomach felt warm, but the gloomy weather outside the window remained unchanged.

"Mike invited you to the mall, do you want to go shopping together?" Jennifer took the initiative to ask, and I thought it was to give me eye drops!
"Okay!" I agreed straight away, can I not swallow this kind of hook?
As the saying goes, cannibalism is short of mouth and short of hands. I know exactly what Mike is thinking, because I have played these routines before.

Only by taking advantage of Mike will he feel at ease, after all no one will refuse the pie that falls from the sky.

"OK!" Mike got up and greeted the nigger Carlson, took a Jennifer and was ready to leave.

Outside the villa is Mike's double-coloured Rolls-Royce Phantom, with Carlson as the driver and Jennifer as the co-pilot.

Mike invited me to sit in the back seat. In fact, no matter which country you are in, the back seat is always a guest. No one will let a guest sit in the co-pilot...

The car left the villa area smoothly, and I felt that the seat of this car was very thick, thicker than any other car I had ever seen.

The sky outside the car window was gloomy, and the sea style was extremely big today, and the banana trees on the road were all blown up and down.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at a shopping mall. Mike took me into the mall with ease and went straight to a men's clothing store.

There are not many samples in this counter, and they all look very simple, even a little old-fashioned.

Mike greeted the clerk, and there was a chatter in the room, and then the clerk's eyes fell on me.

In a blink of an eye, the clerk led several tailors and surrounded me with measuring tapes. They measured from the front to the back, and even measured the arms a few times.

They recorded the values ​​while measuring. The circumference of my left arm and my right arm are deviated, and the shoulder is also slightly deviated.

I have bought tailor-made suits in China before, but they are not as carefully tailored as they are now. Although I can’t tell what brand it is, it must be very valuable.

In the past, I took everyone to shop at the China World Trade Center, but now Mike took me to buy clothes. This change made me feel the feeling of being held up by others, and I felt a little smug.

In fact, I know better than anyone else that the more you give, the more you will take. This is an eternal truth!

In a blink of an eye, the clerk brought over a price list, which was full of buttons and stitches, but the marked prices were not cheap.

Unexpectedly, even buttons and stitches can be selected for custom-made suits here, including the materials and materials in the suit...

I think the optional price of a four-color button is 650 US dollars, in other words, it is more than 4000 yuan...

Only at this moment did I feel what low-key luxury is. I chose buttons according to my own preferences, but I didn't know anything about stitches and materials.

"Jennifer, can you help me choose?" I asked politely, it's not embarrassing to ask about something I don't understand.

"Of course, but it's better to let Mike help you." Jennifer handed the price list to Mike, and he chose some after thinking about it.

Even the seams can be selected for hand-made suits, which I didn't know before, and I didn't expect a suit to be so delicate.

Mike took two sets of shirts, turned around and took me to a leisure store next to him. Halfway through, he didn't introduce the clothing brand to me, nor did he introduce any design elements.

Logically speaking, I should introduce it at this time, but on the other hand, the introduction is meant to invite credit, which will make people feel a little uncomfortable.

Now Mike and I are like old friends who know each other well. We don’t need any verbal communication, just an occasional gesture and smile, as if we can understand each other’s meaning.

It is much more convenient in a leisure store. There is no emphasis on tailor-made products here. The general body size is about the same, and everything is available from the inside to the outside.

I glanced at the price tags of these clothes, and felt that they were not outrageously expensive, but more like the acceptable range of middle-class production.

I picked a few casual clothes and shoes at random, no matter how much the price is, Mike has the bottom, I will never be polite at this moment!
Be polite when you should be polite, and never be polite when you should be polite!
If I hesitated and seemed hesitant at this moment, it would show that I didn't want to take advantage of Mike, and it is not a good choice to show guilt at this time.

On the contrary, he will be more at ease only after Mike has paid enough!
This is a very wonderful psychology, just like asking for help and giving gifts, people always feel uncertain if they don’t accept things, on the contrary, they will feel extra at ease when they accept them!

To be a person, you must know how to treat different situations. Sometimes giving others a reassurance can often make them feel confident!

Now what Mike needs is a reassurance. If he wants to win me over, I will follow his wishes. This is not taking advantage, let alone affection!
