Chapter 177 What if I don’t accept it?

Li Nianshen invited 'Master Chen' to sit down face to face at the big table in the middle.

"Master Chen, to be honest, the table selection method of the restaurant does not conflict with that of the gambling house. We have even added your method of comparing the size of the bets to the gambling house's method.

The ones who want to deal with you are your competitors. Your restaurant has taken away 80% of the customers.

Eighty percent of the customers who cannot get this meal will wait for the next one, or if they cannot get the next meal, they will wait until tomorrow. They are unwilling to give up and go to the Prodigal Son Restaurant.

No matter what business you do, the worst thing you can do is to cause public outrage, don’t you think? "

"Mr. Li runs this kind of business, and other people have to go bankrupt and sell their children for a living, but he is not afraid of causing public outrage, so what should I be afraid of?"

Jiang Yu didn't care, "Since it doesn't conflict with your gambling house, there must be some benefits that you value in it.

Otherwise you wouldn't be doing this thankless task.

It's like a customer who insists on coming to the casino to get my dice back.

Why didn't Mr. Li dare to fart? Wasn't it because that man had a big fist?

After the guest had eaten and drunk his fill, the dice were taken away by Mr. Li again.

You come in and out of my Prodigal Son's Restaurant as if it were your own, aren't you just taking advantage of me because I have a small fist?
You can only know whether your fist is big or small by comparing it, right?"

As soon as he said the word "right", Jiang Yu slapped the table in front of him.

"Crack!"

Following Jiang Yu's palm, several cracks radiated straight towards Li Nianshen.

Li Nianshen, who had always been as steady as an old dog, stood up and stepped back involuntarily.

When the crack reached the edge of the table, it stopped. Li Nianshan's panic was somewhat ridiculous.

Li Nianshen's face finally darkened.

What do gambling houses fear the most?
I am most afraid of being tough.

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong has always been the principle of survival for gambling houses. Those who really enter gambling houses are all poor people who want to make a fortune through gambling.

Even if they try to trick people, they target the younger generations of small wealthy families who have no power or influence, like Song the Prodigal Son.

But if someone is like Master Chen, who has no power or influence but a strong backbone with big fists, he is also someone they must avoid.

"Master Chen."

A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Li Nianshan bowed to "Master Chen" and said, "I'm sorry for offending you before. It's Li's fault. I will come to your house to apologize."

Jiang Yu smiled faintly, "What if I don't accept it?"

Li Nianshan: "..."

"Please tell me the conditions, Mr. Chen."

"Half the gambling house's profits."

"impossible!"

"Then I will place a gambling table in the private room of the restaurant and apply to the government for concurrent operation. Master Li has no objection, right?"

Li Nianshan: "..."

The restaurant turned into a gambling house?
If this really works, will the gambling business be like those restaurants, with 80% of the business gone?

"Mr. Chen's request is too much. The expenses of the gambling house are very high. If you take half of it, I will almost work for nothing."

"Then let's do this!"

Jiang Yu stated his ultimate goal, "I have many ways to play here. For each one, no matter how big or small the play is, no matter how much you earn, you have to pay me two thousand taels of silver in one lump sum. How about that?"

Li Nianshan's presbyopic eyes widened into cross-eyed ones, "Is there really a new way to play?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

The real word betrays you!

"Haven't you already learned it secretly?"

Li Nianshan: "..."

……

Zaotou and his men were so angry that they were slapped in the face. They opened their mouths to curse, but when they saw it was "Master Chen", they woke up immediately.

Grass!
Winning or losing is all red-eyed, and you can't enter the gambling house. "Go back to the restaurant, I'll show you a new way of playing, a gentler new way of playing."

"Let's go!"

Zaotou called out his brothers and walked out of the gambling house. A breeze blew and his mind became completely clear. Then he realized that there was one more person.

Is Mr. Li going to the restaurant with them?

At the entrance of the restaurant, the big bowl and dice had been returned to their places. The diners thought that the strong man had taken the dice back, and they searched for them in the line, but couldn't find them.

After seeing how Li Nian handled the aftermath, he had the answer in his heart, and at the same time, he had a new understanding of 'Master Chen' of the Ying Mansion.

The private room of the 'Zhuangjia' had an additional square table and four chairs.

Feng Yudong stood beside the table holding a basket, "Master, Master Chen."

master?

Only then did Li Nianshen look at the man whom he had always thought was Mr. Chen's bodyguard.

Was he really wrong? This young master had only a fierce and bloodthirsty aura before, so how could he have such a graceful and elegant demeanor now?
"pour out."

Qin Yue pointed at the square table.

After pouring out the contents of the basket, Li Nianshan and Zaotou said in unison, "Pai Gow?"

That's not right! Pai Gow doesn't have so many cards?

“It’s called Mahjong.”

Jiang Yu sat down first, "Master Li, Brother Zaotou, Master Yue, the four of us will play a round first, and we will discuss the rules while we play."

Once he got the hang of mahjong, Li Nianshen, the owner of the gambling house, became addicted. The other players in the mahjong team took turns playing, but he was the only one who stayed put.

He did not even move while eating, but continued to fight with the yamen runners who were taking their turn to eat with his bowl in hand.

It was not until the early morning that he could no longer bear it and finally put down the mahjong.

"Master Chen, if this Mahjong were to appear in the world, it would have a significant impact on our gambling house! With just over a hundred simple cards, anyone with a bit of skill can easily make one."

"Mr. Li is right."

Jiang Yu drank a sip of strong tea. She, a young person, couldn't even outlast the old guy Li Nianshen.

After Qin Yue and Feng Yudong escorted the soap team out for Mr. Chen, Jiang Yu said,
“No matter what game you play, it’s fun only when you meet a worthy opponent. If you meet someone who takes a long time to play a card, you would be annoyed a long time ago, right?
If an official of the second or third rank were asked to touch the bamboo mahjong tiles, would you allow him to do so? Would he be willing to touch the bamboo mahjong tiles?

Go back and try making a few pairs with different materials and craftsmanship.

And these flower cards need to be colored. The Wan character, the Tongzi and the Tiaozi all need to be colored.

Compare them one by one and see which one is more comfortable to look at?
Mahjong doesn’t feel comfortable to play, which affects my mood for playing.”

"what do you mean……"

Li Nianshen looked hesitant, "You want me to sell mahjong?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

It's useless! I don't know how Li Nianshan opened the gambling house? Was it all because of ruthlessness?

"I want you to open a mahjong room. The first four people who win the game have to pay a certain fee for the room and mahjong.

You are also responsible for finding card partners for them so that they don't have to play at home with slaves and women in the harem.

They can take advantage of this opportunity to date whoever they want to date, and take advantage of this opportunity to lose money to whoever they want to give money to, do you understand?"

"wonderful!"

Li Nianshan clapped his hands, not caring about the ridicule of "Master Chen".

“I don’t need to expand the gambling house, I can just build a manor or a quiet courtyard to get people together.

Outsiders don’t know who plays mahjong with whom, and they themselves may not know either.

No, no, I have to ask for their opinions in advance. What if the person of higher status doesn't want to see the person of lower status?"

How Li Nianshan carried out the subsequent operations had nothing to do with Jiang Yu. "Such a good idea, is it worth two thousand taels?"

"It's worth it! It's worth it!"

Li Nianshan directly bid 2,500 taels of silver notes, 500 of which were the money he had agreed to borrow for a while.
"Brother Chen, to be honest, your idea is worth half of what you asked for before..."
