Chapter 745 The Dragon Among People
Li Ye followed Long Si to learn gambling skills, so he naturally had a certain understanding of economics. Hearing Fei Nan's explanation, he immediately understood.

As the saying goes, eating, drinking, whoring and smoking are all compensations, only gambling has back and forth.

Although this is fallacious, it also has certain references.

On the gambling table, if there is a loss, there is a win. Whether you win or lose, it is the circulation of funds, which will eventually spin on the same plate.

But tobacco is different, it is the same as eating and drinking, it is all real consumption, and it will be gone after eating.

He thought for a while and asked, "You mean, casinos help money flow out?"

"Only to a certain extent."

Feinan said seriously: "You have to be clear, whether it's what I want you to do or what you want to do on your own initiative, everything must be based on one goal, which is to win opportunities and time for the country's development."

Li Ye was silent.

A few days ago, he was just a little detective, guarding the four roads like an old hen.

He has never thought about problems from the perspective of the country.

However, it was not until today, after hearing Feinan's words, that he suddenly realized that maybe there really is no absolute good or evil in this world.

This is contrary to the idea he has always believed in, which makes him a little difficult to accept.

But he couldn't judge whether these two concepts were right or wrong, so he could only choose to remain silent.

Seeing him like this, Feinan knew that he had listened, so he smiled and said, "I can understand your worry. In fact, I and your views are very similar, but this matter cannot be resolved like yours."

After a pause, he smiled and asked, "Why don't you go back and think about what I said first? I'll take care of the matter here, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer, how about it?"

Li Ye still hesitated, Fei Nan got up and patted him on the shoulder: "Even if you don't believe in Long Si, don't you still believe me?"

Hearing what he said, Li Ye couldn't hesitate anymore, so he could only stand up and nod solemnly: "Okay, Brother Nan, I believe you, you are a person with the world in mind, I believe you will not watch the people of the country suffer."

"You're putting a big hat on me!"

Feinan smiled helplessly, waved his hand, said goodbye and returned to the casino.

Long Si took Huanhuan and Qiangzi to play in the leisure room on the second floor. The appearance of the two little guys eased his depression, but Lan Ying could still see the sadness in his eyes.

"Fourth brother."

Feinan pushed the door open, sat on the sofa, and said to him, "It's done."

Long Si was not overjoyed, he winked at Lan Ying, and ordered: "Take someone to look around, the patrol room must have someone watching."

Lan Ying froze for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Turning around and pushing the door out, he couldn't help but look back.

Long Si obviously wanted to dismiss him, what is so important that he can't even listen to it?
In the lounge, Long Si got up and went to the window, looked out the window and sighed: "Thousands of mistakes, all my faults!"

Feinan picked up Huanhuan, who ran to the sofa, and said with a smile, "Xiaotian and your temper are carved out of the same mold. You are so proud and stubborn."

Long Si was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "It's the first time I've heard someone describe my temper so accurately."

After laughing a few times, the depression in Long Si's heart eased a little. He looked at Fei Nan and asked, "What did he tell you?"

Feinan didn't hide anything, and said bluntly: "He is worried that you will make the casino bigger and harm more people."

"childish!"

Long Si snorted: "Casinos have never made a living by extracting money from the poor, how much money can the poor have? The business of the casino depends on the boss.

How many of those who do business in China are not serious about gambling?Did Shang Hai stagnate when I was in the Northeast?Didn't Dong Fang rule the Shanghai gambling world?

Even if I, Long Si, do not open a casino, there will still be Zhao Sikai and Li Sikai. Could it be that so many gamblers in Quan Shanghai were born because of me, Long Si? "

Seeing that he got angry, Feinan comforted him: "Don't be angry, he used to be in his own small world to maintain that cleanliness, but he is now the chief inspector, wait for him to see more Seeing some ugliness, I will naturally understand you."

After venting, Long Si breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "This is a matter between our master and apprentice, and you shouldn't be involved in it."

"It's nothing, I got involved myself."

Feinan smiled and said, "How do you think he became the Chief Inspector?"

When Long Si heard this, he couldn't help but think of what Fei Nan said when Rong Zhaotian came to make trouble some time ago.

He said Rong Zhaotian was going to be unlucky.

Now it seems that he is not talking big. Rong Zhaotian is not only unlucky, but also unlucky.

Not only did he lose his official position, but he was also sent to prison.

It turned out that Feinan was behind all of this.

After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said: "I understand Xiaotian's character, he is more stubborn than me, even if he is blocked today, he will still not let it go."

"He decided that you were a bad person, so he targeted you like this."

Feinan thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Fourth brother, you have already taken charge of Shanghai's gambling scene, and you are considered wealthy. Next, what do you want to do?"

When Long Si heard the words, he didn't answer immediately.

He was a little confused.

Holding the window sill, he said in a deep voice: "Before I came to Shanghai, my goal was very clear, that is to get back these things that belonged to me.

However, now that I'm back in charge of the Shanghai gambling world, I don't feel very happy. Sometimes, I also doubt whether these are what I want? "

Feinan smiled and said: "There is a man named Maslow in the United States who proposed a theory called the hierarchy of human needs. He believes that in a person's lifetime, all needs are nothing more than five levels.

The fifth layer is called physiological needs, that is, some of the most basic needs such as eating, drinking, and procreation.

The fourth level is called safety needs. People need to have a stable source of food, and they don’t have to worry about what to eat tomorrow or whether they will die the day after tomorrow.

The third layer is called social needs. After people are full, they always have to communicate with other people. They need to meet friends and gain feelings.

The second level is called respect needs, that is, to be respected by oneself and others.

As for the first level, which is also the highest level of needs, it is called self-needs, realizing the value of one's own life and creating one's own meaning of life.

These five levels of needs can only pursue higher-level needs when the previous level is satisfied.It's like when people are extremely hungry, they generally don't care about their dignity, and only want to fill their stomachs as soon as possible, no matter what method they use. "

After a pause, Feinan asked, "Fourth brother, what level do you think you are at now?"

Long Si was attracted by Feinan's novel theory, he thought for a moment, and then hesitated to answer: "I can barely reach the second floor!"

Feinan smiled, and asked again: "Then do you still feel confused now?"

Long Si was taken aback, and immediately understood what Fei Nan meant.

"You mean, I should pursue higher-level needs? That is..."

Long Si recalled the theory Fei Nan just mentioned: "Self-need?"

Feinan was noncommittal, and asked again: "Fourth brother, if you wait a hundred years from now, how do you hope that your descendants, and even many people who have heard your name, will evaluate you? Shanghai Gambler? Chinese God of Gamblers? Qianmen Master?"

Long Si took a quick breath, and suddenly squeezed his fist.

Soon, his eyes became firm: "No! I, Long Si, am the dragon among men! How can I stop here?"
