Chapter 704 Emperor Casino
Emperor Casino was the largest casino in Shanghai before the opening of No. 181 Casino, and it was also the casino that had been in operation for the longest time.

From a small gambling stall at the beginning, Emperor Casino has gradually become bigger and stronger, and has established Dong's company with more than [-] casinos under its umbrella, all of which benefited from the good relationship made by Dong Qishan's father, Dong Fang.

When Dong Fang was alive, he was tough, acted swiftly and resolutely, and said what he said. With him around, Dong Qishan didn't dare to make mistakes.

But since his death, no one cares about him, Dong Qishan is like a wild horse that has run free, completely having fun.

He didn't learn Dong Fang's ability to advance and retreat, but he learned the temper that is consistent.

But he couldn't bear this temper, so he became arbitrarily domineering, which caused complaints from many veterans and old customers of the company, and the business of Dong's company was also affected to a certain extent.

However, Dong's company has a great business and deep roots, plus a group of veterans left by Dong Fang, all of them are loyal and capable.

With their help, the company's business will not plummet. Even if there is a certain decline, it is still in the leading position.

Although emerging casinos such as 181 are gaining momentum, they are still rising stars and their foundations are not yet solid, so they cannot shake the position of Dong's Company for the time being.

It was precisely because of this that Dong Qishan felt relieved, and began to indulge in extravagant spending, buying courtesans, renting out theaters, spending a lot of money at every turn, and spending money like water.

Moreover, he also began to gamble in person frequently, and repeatedly opened shocking gambling games.

But maybe it was his father who was blessed by the spirit in the sky. In those shocking gambling games he participated in, he won more than he lost and lost less. Not only did he win back all the money he spent lavishly on weekdays, but he also had a surplus.

This fueled his arrogance even more, and he didn't want to listen to what the veterans in the company said. Instead, he reprimanded them for being old and foolish, and it was time to abdicate.

The veterans all knew that more than half of the reason why he was able to kill the Quartet at the gambling table was because he took advantage of his capital to overwhelm others.

He has a company as his backer, no matter how big the gamble is, he is not afraid of losing, and he can afford to lose, which makes him take advantage of it psychologically, as if he has stepped into an invincible position.

In addition, he also got Dong Fang's personal biography, and he still has two brushes under his hands, and ordinary gambling masters are not his opponents, so he can kill all directions at the gambling table.

But as the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet?
Those who drown are those who know how to water, and those who lose money are those who know how to play. Such examples are staged every day in the company's venue.

For this Dragon Four's challenge, they had already approached Dong Qishan to persuade him with good words, but he refused to listen.

Dong Qishan's gambling skills were indeed excellent, but at that time he was facing ordinary gambling masters.

Who is Long Si?He was a well-known man back then, known as the king of gambling in China.

Even Dong Fang, the old gambling king, personally prepared a generous gift back then and gave it to Long Si himself, asking him to show his respect. Why do you, Dong Qishan, look down on him?
After disappearing for so many years, Long Si reappeared in the rivers and lakes again, which made it clear that the comer was not good.

He launched the challenge so straightforwardly, without making any cover-ups, which shows that he has already set his sights on the company's industry and has made corresponding plans.

People sharpen their knives and come to kill pigs, but you Dong Qishan took the initiative to stick his head out. Isn't this stupid?
The veterans of the company were kept up all night by the gamble arranged by Dong Qishan on his own initiative, so they came to the casino early in the morning, trying to persuade Dong Qishan to cancel the gamble and make another arrangement.

But this made Dong Qishan very annoyed. He thought that the elders underestimated him, thinking that he would be defeated before he even got on the table, which killed his vigor and increased the prestige of others.

Tired of hearing it, he actually kicked out all the veterans and gamblers, and cleared the game.

The elders were so angry that they couldn't help but wait outside the casino, hoping that Dong Qishan would change his mind.

But they are also very clear that it should be impossible to stop this gamble.

Because Dong Qishan released the news two days ago after making an appointment with Long Si for today's game.

It was the first time in Shanghai that the two parties involved a big gamble involving 40 cash.

Shang Hai is still gambling, and there are countless gamblers. Knowing that there is such a gamble, of course he wants to take a look.

So today, many gamblers have come here admiringly, and gathered outside the casino, hoping to have the opportunity to witness this shocking game with their own eyes.

Dong Qishan's clearing broke their dreams, but they did not leave. Instead, they started a gamble outside the casino, betting on Dong Qishan and Long Si's winning or losing this time.

Those who are willing to join in the fun are gamblers, how can such a grand event be missed?

So, before noon, there were already three odds of tens of thousands of dollars outside the casino alone, not counting other small odds.

This seems to have become a carnival for all Shanghai gamblers.

Such a grand occasion also made the company's veterans very anxious. If Dong Qishan lost, the company would be completely defeated. I'm afraid there would be no chance to turn around.

Just after two o'clock in the afternoon, cars drove up to the entrance of Emperor Casino one after another.

The first to arrive was Du Chen, the chairman of the Shanghai Gambling Association, and related notaries, and then the staff of the four major banks arrived one after another.

At 03:30 in the afternoon, two unsmiling old men also came to the casino by car.

Seeing them, the veterans of the company suddenly showed embarrassment and couldn't help crying.

They knew the two old men, they were two well-known senior croupiers in the Shanghai gambling industry, Yang Qiu, who was known as the iron-faced left judge, and Duan Zhu, the iron-faced right judge.

These two are senior croupiers with more than 50 years of experience, and they are also top gambling masters.

So far, they have never made any mistakes, and their conduct and style of conduct are commendable. They are the two most convincing and respectable people in Shanghai Gambling Industry.

After seeing them, the elders already understood that Dong Qishan was probably very aware of Long Si's name and strength back then.

But he still chose to take the initiative to challenge. It seems that he really intends to compete with Long Siyi at the gambling table.

Consular representatives from Britain, the United States, Italy and France who appeared later also confirmed their guesses. Even the consuls were invited over. Dong Qishan was really serious.

But why is he confident that he can beat Dragon Four?
The elders are already desperate, time is passing by every minute and every second, they can only pray to the sky, pin their hope on the unexpected situation of Dragon Four, and there is no way to participate in this gamble.

However, their hopes were doomed to fail. Long Si came to the teahouse opposite the Emperor Casino early in the morning and waited calmly.

Putting down his teacup, he glanced at the clock by the wall, it was already 04:30 in the afternoon.

Lan Ying sat beside him, and when he saw this, he asked: "Is it possible that Anan can't come because of something?"

Shaking his head, Long Si said with certainty: "Since he said he would come, he will definitely come. I believe him."

"Ha ha!"

Feinan's laughter came from the stairs: "Fourth Master trusts me so much, because of this trust, I have to come here even after traveling through mountains and rivers!"
