Chapter 51 Gambling Hall
After Ouyang Ye decided to improve the treatment and renovate the shacks in the living area of the logging farm, there were naturally people below to do it, so he didn't have to do it himself.
The next day, I heard that Li Dang could get out of bed, so Ouyang Ye went to visit him.
Li Dang and Yang Lei, as the leader of Ouyang Hu's guards, each brought six of his subordinates and their families to live in the left and right side yard adjacent to the front yard.
The left and right courtyards are not small, and even the Qi family is still spacious. When Ouyang Ye came to the left and right courtyard, Li Dang was leaning on a chair and watching the guards in the yard practice martial arts.
Seeing Ouyang Ye and Gao Qiang came in, Li Dang was stunned at first, and then he wanted to struggle.
Ouyang Ye quickly stepped forward, pressed Li Dang back on the chair, and smiled and said, "Captain Li is injured, so there is no need to be too polite."
Li Dang said: "The gang leader is busy with his affairs, so why should Li Dang worry about the gang leader visiting him frequently?"
A few days ago, in order to appoint Wang Zheng as the leader of the Nan Hall, Ouyang Ye visited Li Dang once. If he hadn't made a good deal with Li Dang, how could he have given Wang Zheng a sudden position as leader of the Nan Hall?
It should be noted that although Li Dang is only a master in the first realm, he is Ouyang Hu's confidant. He was seriously injured and almost died in order to protect Ouyang Hu during the previous attack from the Iron Line Sect.
If Ouyang Ye makes such a brother in the gang who was originally loyal to Ouyang Hu, it would be too unfair.
However, he had already comforted Li Dang a few days ago, but today he had something else to explain to Li Dang.
After Li Dang's family took tables, chairs, teapots and entertained Ouyang Ye to sit next to Li Dang, Ouyang Ye started talking to Li Dang.
"Looking at Leader Li's health, I will recover completely in about two or three months. There is something in my plan that I must look at someone like Leader Li."
When Ouyang Hu accepted Li Dang and Yang Lei as the leader of the guards, he not only valued their martial arts, but also valued their loyalty and character. Therefore, whether it was Li Dang, Yang Lei, or the twelve ordinary guards, they were all very sincere men.
Originally, Li Dang had no objection to resigning from the position of Nan Hall Master, who had not yet taken office. He just wanted to continue to be the leader of the guard when he was healthy. Later, after being comforted by Ouyang Ye, he had no grudges at all.
At this time, I heard Ouyang Ye’s words regard him as a trustworthy person as Ouyang Hu, and I was even more moved. I immediately sat up straight and clasped my fists and said, “Please speak, if Li Dang can do anything, I will definitely not refuse!”
Ouyang Ye looked at Li Dang and said, "I want to take the gambling house out of the West Hall and set up a separate hall, which is called the gambling hall. After thinking about it, I still have to ask the leader Li to take charge of it."
"This," Li Dang looked embarrassed as soon as he heard it, "Gang Master, I really don't like it and I'm not good at managing sects. I just want to be a guard for the sect leader. Moreover, there are only two small gambling houses, so there is no need to be a separate hall, right?"
If someone who can speak, such as Li Qin, would definitely not argue about Ouyang Yeli Xintangkou's affairs, and would only say something like "I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid of ruining the gang leader's affairs."
But a sincere man like Li Dang obviously wouldn't speak like that.
Ouyang Ye was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Since I want to be alone in one hall, I will naturally not only be the two small gambling houses in Jitangguan in the future... It doesn't take a few years. Other towns and even counties and cities around will also have our gambling houses. Moreover, our gambling houses will make far more money than other gambling houses."
"At that time, the amount of money that the gambling hall would have been very large, so whether the gambling hall master knew management or whether his martial arts was strong was not the most important. Trustworthy is the most important thing."
"After Leader Li became the master of this gambling hall, he just had to keep an eye on the money earned by the gambling hall for me. As for management and even guarding the gambling hall, there were other brothers who would do it."
After hearing this, Li Dang was shocked by Ouyang Ye's ambition for a long time. After he came to his senses, although he still wanted to continue to be the leader of the guard, he was embarrassed to refuse again. He then replied with his fist: "Li Dang understands. He will definitely live up to the trust of the gang leader."
Then Ouyang Ye waited for a while, and the leader of Xitang, who was responsible for the two gambling halls in the town, came to recruit him.
Next, Ouyang Ye taught in front of Li Dang how these two leaders enriched the gambling scenes and changed the management methods of the gambling hall.
The gambling hall is in the town, one of which is quite close to Shenmu Trading Company, so Ouyang Ye has been to the gambling hall more than once in the past month, and he has long known the matter about it.
Ouyang Ye is not sure how many kinds of gambling scenes are in Dayu, but the two gambling halls of Shenmu Gang only have dice to play, and they only play with guessing the size, which is extremely monotonous. But even so, the gambling shop still has a large flow of customers and a good income.
Ouyang Ye was half a gangster in his previous life, and he went to a lot of casinos. Even though most of the gambling scenes could not be moved here, it was easy to enrich the gambling scenes.
Just telling the gameplay of cheat dice outside the size of dice, shaking dice, blackjack, Niu Niu and other methods, it has already shocked the two gambling owners.
"Gangmaster! If you release these ways of playing, those gamblers will definitely be crazy!"
"Maybe our gambling hall will be full all day long!"
“···”
Although Li Dang didn't know much about gambling scenes, he couldn't help but admire Ouyang Ye when he saw two gambling-proficient leaders praise Ouyang Ye so excitedly.
After teaching about a dozen gambling scenes currently opened by these two gambling workshops, Ouyang Ye took the opportunity to talk about the operation and management of gambling halls.
These are some more concrete matters, such as dividing the gambling halls into areas according to the size of the gambling funds, setting up quiet rooms outside the hustle and bustling special clothes for the casino staff, paying attention to the casino making a living, and minting chips similar to silver coins, etc.
Because Ouyang Ye only went to the casino to play in his previous life and did not participate in the casino operation, the suggestions he said were not all suitable for implementation in the gambling hall in Jitangguan immediately.
When I first heard it, both leaders were just embarrassed but did not dare to say it clearly. Later, with Ouyang Ye's encouragement, they gradually explained the situation.
During this process, Ouyang Ye also learned about the business methods of some small gambling restaurants, and even some cheating methods, such as robbing and killing people who made a lot of money, or using mercury dice to make thousands of them.
Ouyang Ye did not deny all of these, but also selected some of them to change them.
In this way, after talking to Li Dang and the two gambling hall leaders in Dongpianyuan for a whole day, Ouyang Ye decided to make improvements to the two gambling halls in the town.
Improvements to the gambling hall cannot be completed in a short period of time, because it also involves the redecoration and even expansion of the gambling hall.
Ouyang Ye was not in a hurry. Anyway, he had already explained the matter clearly. If these two gambling leaders do well, they will naturally be able to occupy a high position in Xintang in the future. If they don't do well, they will just replace them. At most, they will just delay some time.
After taking several days to preside over this series of major assistance, Ouyang Ye devoted most of his time and energy to practicing martial arts.
The brothers in the halls of the Shenmu Gang, and even the grassroots personnel below, were also busy with the matter arranged by Ouyang Ye, and temporarily put the revenge on the downstream side.
However, Shi Tianhui and others, who have been paying attention to the movements of Shenmu Help, have become restless because of Ouyang Ye's actions in the past few days...
