The Pentium Era - South to North

At the end of December, Mr. Qiao and his company held an annual meeting in Zhuhai. The annual meeting invited many of their company's important customers to participate. The written word was called "Joining in the Grand Event." Liu Ligan and Meng Ping were both their important customers and partners. Of course attendance is a must.

The annual meeting itself was boring, but after only half a day, Mr. Qiao came on stage and made a report, talked about a lot of data, expressed his gratitude to customers for their support, and then commended a few outstanding employees and so on.

You must know that Mr. Qiao and his clients are all reputable people. It is of course impossible to call them from all over the country to just attend such a meeting and then listen to you verbally express a few words of thanks.

There is a reason why the meeting was not held in Shenzhen, where their company is located, but moved to Zhuhai.

After the afternoon meeting, without even having dinner, Mr. Qiao handed over the remaining matters to the vice president, and he took two vans of people to Macau.

They stayed at a hotel in a casino in Macau and had dinner together. Mr. Qiao gave each guest 100,000 Macau patacas in chips, and then told them, I will disappear next, everyone can do whatever they want, the day after tomorrow at 5 p.m. , gathered in the lobby of the hotel, and we returned to Zhuhai for dinner.

Meng Ping and Liu Ligan had never been to a casino before. They had only seen it in movies and TV. They felt fresh and curious. They walked through a thickly carpeted passage from the hotel lobby and were still attracted by the scene in front of them. Startled, they saw a brightly lit hall inside.

The first thing that caught their eyes was the rows and rows of hundreds of video game-like machines. There were lights on the top of each machine, and there were people sitting in front of the machines.

The entire hall was filled with simple but cheerful music. From time to time, you could hear the sound of a machine spitting out coins, as well as people's cheers.

The screen hanging above the hall flashes a long series of numbers in turn. This is the prize money in the jackpot. If you are lucky enough to hit it, this long series of numbers will be yours.

There is a story published in many newspapers and magazines. Both Meng Ping and Liu Ligan have read it. It is said that in Las Vegas, a poor female international student did not even have money for tomorrow’s meal in her pocket. She passed by the casino. At that time, she decided to try her luck with the last few coins in her pocket.

When she sat in front of a slot machine, put coins in and pulled the handle, an alarm suddenly sounded in the hall, all the slot machines stopped, and two burly guys walked towards the female international student. The female international student was frightened. It was broken. She thought she had broken the equipment in the casino, so she quickly waved her hands and shouted, "It's not me, it's not me, I didn't do anything."

Then the owner of the casino appeared and told her that it was not her who broke the machine, but that she blew up the machine and won the more than 10 million US dollars in the jackpot.

Everyone around burst into thunderous cheers and applause. The poor female international student became a multi-millionaire in an instant.

This is another version of the story of the ugly duckling turning into a swan. The story is very childish. Liu Ligan feels that it must have been made up by some boring and foot-picking guys like those who compiled the novels of Xue Mili. But the story that is made up is It has the power to touch people's hearts, and everyone is happy to spread it, including those who come to this hall. Who doesn't want to be the protagonist in that boring story?

No one believes in myths, but they always hope that myths will happen to them.

Meng Ping and Liu Ligan were both thinking, what the hell is so funny about this? How could Lao Qiao bring them to this damn place with such a childish thing.

But since they were here, the two of them still wanted to give it a try and found two adjacent slot machines and sat down.

As soon as they sat down, a waiter came over and asked if you could help.

Meng Ping asked how this thing worked, and the waiter told them how it worked, and then asked how to change the coins. The waiter told them that you can go to the counter to change it yourself, or if you feel comfortable, I can change it for you.

Liu Ligan gave him the 100,000 chips. The waiter smiled and said, "You won't need so many."

He took out a five hundred coin from it, and also took out a five hundred coin from Meng Ping, and walked away. When he came back, he brought a bunch of coins to each of them and wished them a happy game. Then left.

Liu Ligan and Meng Ping looked at each other and smiled. Damn it, you can't play with 100,000 chips even if your hands are cramped.

Immediately, another waiter came over with drinks and drinks. Each of the two ordered a glass of 7Up and started playing.

Liu Ligan was overjoyed when he heard the sound of coins being spit out at the first press. When he saw the button with the maximum bet, he pressed it and said to Meng Ping, hurry up, press this button. Meng Ping smiled and said, I have already used it, but only three times.

The two continued to play. As the lights on the machine flashed, the machine repeatedly made a monotonous sound like a video game. The person seemed to have entered a hypnotic state. The blood in the body was speeding up, but the body was numb and sluggish, and the urine was very heavy. I was so anxious that I couldn't bear to stand up and leave. I told myself that I would go after playing this game.

After countless coins passed, people were still sitting there, and they still felt that they could hear the sound of coins being spit out from time to time. They were lucky, but in fact they spent more and more time calling the waiter to help change coins, and the rest The chips are getting smaller and smaller.

When Liu Ligan finally couldn't hold on anymore and stood up to go to the bathroom, he discovered that more than half of his chips had been lost, and he and Meng Ping had been sitting in front of this broken machine for more than three hours, and their hands were still there. It really feels like a cramp.

Liu Ligan almost ran back all the way. He looked at Meng Ping. Meng Ping lost almost as much as him. Liu Ligan said, damn, these things look like three at a time, and they lose very quickly.

Meng Ping said angrily, after losing, he pulled him down, and after losing, he went back to his room to sleep.

Even the waiter found it strange that it was rare to see someone sitting in front of a slot machine for more than six hours.

How did he know that it wasn't that they were willing to sit here for more than six hours, but that they didn't know what other projects there were in this casino. As soon as they entered, they were attracted by this simple and childish thing. Later, instead of betting against the machine, I was betting against myself.

I don't fucking believe that after I lose all the chips, the big prize won't come out yet. The two of them even connected this with their own destiny, rising to the level of philosophy, feeling that this game console, and The trajectory of my own life is the same. I have to keep walking. Only when I reach the end of the road, will there be a bright future.

Meng Ping said with a smile: "Believe it or not, when I throw in the last coin, the machine will explode."

Liu Ligan shook his head and said: "I don't believe it, because when I hit the penultimate coin, it will explode and all the bonus will be mine. You have no chance."

Meng Ping laughed.

As time passed, they all felt that they had figured out the rules of the machine, and the big prize was about to come out soon.

But until Liu Ligan used up all the coins and chips, the miracle did not happen. Meng Ping gave half of his coins to Liu Ligan. The two of them used up all the coins, but the miracle did not happen. What a pity, damn it, I even touched the smooth and delicate arms of Miracle, how come the coins are gone.

The two of them stood up. Only then did Meng Ping realize that his lower body was about to explode. He quickly ran to the bathroom. He stood in front of the urinal for the longest time in his life to urinate. When he came out, he saw Liu Ligan. I stood there laughing and told him that we are just two fucking idiots and there are a lot of fun things over there. We just played this childish thing all night.

Liu Ligan said and took a stack of chips to Meng Ping. Meng Ping's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Where did it come from? Haven't we finished playing? Have you met Lao Qiao?"

Liu Ligan smiled and said, we have run out of chips, but we are not done yet. I just exchanged 200,000 yuan, and you can pay RMB here.

"Oh, that waiter didn't tell us. Go, go, my machine is about to explode."

Meng Ping yelled and wanted to run to the slot machine he had played before. Liu Lipole stopped him and told him that this is a pediatrician. Go over there and it will be exciting.

The two people went to a hall adjacent to this hall. That hall was quieter than the slot machine hall. There were not so many electronic speakers and there seemed to be fewer people. There were blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. After the two people walked around in a circle, they sat down at a baccarat table and quickly lost all the chips in their hands.

When they came out to exchange chips, the lady at the cashier asked them, Sir, do you need to go to the VIP room?

"What do you mean?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Sir, our VIP room is on the second floor. It is relatively quiet there. There is a card table in each room. Those who are playing are all our VIP guests."

When she said this, Meng Ping and Liu Ligan felt that it was really noisy down there, and it was because it was too noisy that it affected their performance. Otherwise, how could they not be able to defeat those pig-like guys?

Without saying a word, the two of them exchanged one million chips and went to the VIP room.

To become a VIP, you need to register your identity information. After registering your identity information, like a bank, you will be given a credit limit here, which is the credit limit. You can use this credit limit if you lose all your chips and don’t want to interrupt the game. .

Then there were two beauties who accompanied them 24 hours a day. One of the beauties first asked them if they were hungry and if they needed to eat something first.

Meng Ping and Liu Ligan felt really hungry now. The four of them went to the restaurant to eat together, and then went to a private room on the second floor.

In the casino, there is a constant flow of people 24 hours a day. Everywhere you go, the lights are as bright as daytime, and there are no windows open to the outdoors. Without looking at your watch, you cannot feel the passage of time or the changes in the sky outside. .

And inside, the last thing you know how to do is probably looking at your watch.

In fact, it was already getting dark outside at this time, but Meng Ping and Liu Ligan felt that they had not been here long. If someone asked them what time it was at this time, they would probably say, maybe around ten o'clock.

When they got upstairs, they still chose to play baccarat, thinking that this was the only way to enjoy and stimulate them. The two of them sat down at the card table, and the two beauties sat quietly beside them. Of course, if you think there is fraud in it, , or they could be asked to leave temporarily, but neither Meng Ping nor Liu Ligan did so.

When he got here, Liu Ligan felt that his limelight and luck had come. He won three games in a row, winning back what the two people lost below.

Liu Ligan was still waiting for the dealer to deal the cards, but the dealer stopped and looked behind them. The door behind them was pushed open and two burly men walked in. The dealer knew what was happening here and immediately Stop dealing cards.

Two burly men walked up behind Liu Ligan and Meng Ping, and one of them asked, "Are you Liu Ligan and Meng Ping?"

Liu Ligan and Meng Ping nodded, thinking, why the hell did that scene in the story happen, but here, there is no machine that can be blown up?

"Please come with us," said the other.

"Why?" Liu Ligan asked.

"Please come with us." The other party repeated. Their body shape, demeanor and tone did not make it possible for you to refuse.

Liu Ligan and Meng Ping stood up. Two burly men, one in front and the other following them, walked into the corridor. Meng Ping asked Liu Ligan quietly, "Gangzi, are you cheating?"

"No, what about you?"

"Me neither."

Meng Ping wanted to say something else, but the burly man following them coughed. This cough brought Meng Ping back to Tiger Bridge in an instant, and he felt like he was finished.
