Chapter 1421: Men’s Paradise, Women’s Bank

Macau is a special administrative region of China and one of the four largest gambling cities in the world. It is known as a paradise for men and a bank for women.

Every year, gamblers from all over the world rush here, whether in Hong Kong films or in movies. It is full of the smell of money and the bloody winds of all kinds of rivers and lakes.

But in fact, this is a very developed tourist city. The public security of any developed tourist city cannot be too bad. Because public security is the biggest nemesis of tourism.

A place with very poor public security is difficult to become an extremely developed tourist city except for adventurers and tourists who don't know the height of the world.

Macau is a world-famous tourist city. With the development of the mainland economy in recent years, the number of tourists from the mainland has increased dramatically every year.

Therefore, various gangs compete for territory, carry watermelon knives and fight on the streets, or either sink into the sea or chop hands and feet.

It only exists in movies. The real Macau is very harmonious and safe, and it is also very prosperous and lively. This is a real city that never sleeps, a city of desire and depravity.

It is difficult for people who come here to control their desires. Even those who do not gamble normally cannot help but try their luck.

At the same time, it is not as imagined that the streets and alleys are full of gambling, and various mahjong shops are opened next to each other.

Since the gambling needs a license, the small stalls that cheat people in the streets and alleys have been basically banned. There are all kinds of local food stores, coffee shops, and clothing stores along the street. There are a wide variety of jewelry stores and luxury stores.

In addition to seeing various buildings that collide with Chinese and Western cultures and appreciating the unique style of Macau, this place is much more prosperous than imagined big cities such as New York.

It is a place where money is really spent like water. Of course, you can still see some gamblers being thrown out of the casino occasionally. Because this is indeed a city that is easy to degenerate.

Yang Dongxu has only been to Macau twice in his life. Once when he was very young, he needed to shoot an MV, and the other time was when he was curious and passed by here.

He has never really visited here once.

This time, he suddenly wanted to go to Macau for fun. One reason was that he had taken over Hedong Garden before. As the original owner of Hedong Garden, Ms. He, the He family, made him the king of gambling in Macau.

Another reason was that Li Fuzhen was pregnant.

Among the women who had intersected with Yang Dongxu, except for those who suddenly jumped out for a one-night stand, only Chen Xin was not pregnant.

Chen Hong wanted a child before, but then she didn't know what she thought about and didn't mention having a child again. Now she went to Hollywood to manage the branch of Haina.

In the past two years, she has been in charge of fewer and fewer things, and has been more involved in supervision. Then she traveled all over the world like Ran Feifei, and sometimes the two of them even traveled together.

I don't know if this childless DINK idea was infected by his aunt Ran Feifei.

Except for her, among the remaining three women, Bai Xi, Li Fuzhen and Chen Xin, only Chen Xin was not pregnant, and Chen Xin was the oldest among all the women of Yang Dongxu.

Although she has been well maintained over the years, time is unforgiving. Anyway, the crow's feet can no longer be concealed, and Chen Xin is very reluctant to have surgery or inject some hyaluronic acid on her face, insisting on the idea of ​​natural aging.

So even if Chen Xin looks much younger than her actual age, Yang Dongxu can feel the burden of age in her heart.

So now that he has a period of free time, he decided to take Chen Xin for a stroll, and he just happened to want to visit Macau.

Compared to the fact that he has become half a city in Hong Kong, Macau is an area he has never set foot in, or he has never thought of getting involved in the gambling industry.

In the past, I learned those gambling techniques from Grandpa Xuan, mostly because I watched too many Hong Kong movies in my previous life. I feel that those gambling techniques such as flying cards are very cool.

Now as I grow older, my personality is becoming more and more mature, and the ideological experience of this life has gradually covered everything in my previous life. For such a childish personality, I have restrained a lot.

So he knows that the gambling industry can make money, but he is not very interested. At the same time, this industry is much more complicated and deeper than other industries.

Macau is now a tourist city, but the gambling industry is the economic pillar of the entire city. On the surface, ordinary people can live in harmony, but the hidden conflicts of interest may be more exciting and cruel than movies.

He has made enough money from other businesses, and he is not afraid of anyone playing tricks, so there is no need to wade into this muddy water and get his shoes wet.

Sunglasses, sun hat, large colorful shorts, flip-flops, this is Yang Dongxu's current outfit.

Chen Xin took off her usual serious professional clothes, a floral dress, a small bag on her arm, a big sun hat and sunglasses.

The two of them were like an ordinary couple, strolling on the bustling street.

Ice cream, cold drinks, small boxes of fruit, the two of them walked around and talked about things they had never heard of. They didn't go to any brand stores or jewelry stores.

They just strolled around the small shops and some stalls on the street, and bought things that looked beautiful for more than ten or twenty yuan. The small things were not big, so even if they bought a lot, the handbag was only half full and was held in Yang Dongxu's hand.

"What do you think of this pendant?" Chen Xin put a piece of Hami melon into Yang Dongxu's mouth with a toothpick, and picked up a heart-shaped pendant hanging on the shelf in front of him with her fingers.

The pendant was tied with a red rope, and the heart shape also had a corporate feel, but it was not jade at first glance, probably made of plastic.

However, the overall design was very elegant, especially the heart shape was very three-dimensional, a bit like a small peach, and it looked cute because it was not very big.

"Very good." Yang Dongxu took the fruit box from Chen Xin's hand. Chen Xin took out a tissue to wipe his hands, then picked up the pendant and shook it in front of him. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"How much is this?" Yang Dongxu put a piece of Hami melon into his mouth, and also gave Chen Xin a piece and asked the boss.

The boss had a dark skin, and the stall was not fixed. He carried a shoulder pole and a wooden box, and there was a wooden shelf on the wooden box, and all kinds of small ornaments were blown on the shelf.

It feels a bit like the old-fashioned street vendors, but of course they can't wear the old-fashioned style. The stall owners are dressed very decently.

This street is a folk street, so the shops look relatively old, so most of the things sold here are handicrafts.

There are also teahouses and pawnshops, which are gradually disappearing in the mainland. Of course, there are also some antique sellers, both in the stalls and shops.

"35." The stall owner spoke Mandarin with a strong Austrian accent.

"It's a bit expensive, can you order less?" Yang Dongxu asked.

"No, this is chicken blood stone, you know chicken blood stone, it's the best jade, very rare." The stall owner shook his head and kept talking nonsense.

He kept looking at Chen Xin next to him, not because Chen Xin was beautiful, but because he wanted to see more.

This look was obviously hinting to Yang Dongxu, such a beautiful girlfriend is standing next to you, as a man, how can you be so stingy. How can you pick up girls like this?

Yang Dongxu obviously understood the look in the stall owner's eyes, but he obviously didn't want to be a sucker.

Besides, he and Chen Xin are an old couple, and he is not a young man. How could he be provoked to pay by the look of the stall owner?

"10 yuan, if you want, we will buy it, if you don't want to sell it, forget it. The small things we bought in front of us are all at this price." Chen Xin said directly before Yang Dongxu spoke.

This price is even more than cutting it in half when they met.

The stall owner stared at him instantly, and at this time he also figured out that the couple in front of him were obviously not a young couple in love, and it was probably not necessarily a couple.

At this time, he naturally had to change his routine, "No, no, this is a chicken blood stone, look at this heart shape, it symbolizes your love, handsome boy, your girlfriend is so beautiful, you must buy it to express your love to the beautiful girl, right?"

"That's 12, 2 more than the previous one, if it's more, we will really leave, and I see that yours is not the only one, there are also over there." Yang Dongxu looked at the stall not far away.

There are also small things like these and pendants for sale over there.

"Okay, okay, I'll sell it to you. I'm really losing money." When the stall owner saw that Yang Dongxu and the other person were really going to walk to the side, Lima agreed.

Then Ran Feifei took money out of her small bag. It was obvious that they were a couple. Otherwise, how could a man and a woman pay when they go shopping? It's always the man who pays.

The stall owner sighed that he made less money, and he was very neat when he reached out to take the money. The plastic pendant with a cost of 2 yuan was sold for 12 yuan, and this profit was already very satisfying to him.

"Is the cost price of this thing 5 yuan?" Chen Xin curiously fiddled with the heart-shaped pendant in his hand, and then tied it to his bag.

The bag was a good bag that cost more than 200,000 yuan, but the pendant tied on it looked harmonious no matter how you looked at it.

"Five yuan? Fifty cents is about the same. This is the factory price, and the cost price is even lower. Then add the red string, and the transportation and customs clearance, and the cost to the first-hand dealer here will not exceed one yuan.

Wholesale to such a vendor, one and a half to two yuan is about the same, no more." Yang Dongxu said casually.

Now Hainan is also a national small commodity distribution center, and Yu Feihong is the biggest boss there. He has a rough estimate of the price of these small things.

"So cheap?" Chen Xin looked a little surprised.

"What do you think? Have you seen those scarves sold in the store over there? They are all produced by the assembly line. The wholesale price of one scarf is at most one yuan. When you buy it, you can get it for 20 yuan. It's all considered a small profit but quick turnover by the boss."

Chen Xin took Yang Dongxu's arm and smiled foolishly without saying anything, pouting her lips to eat fruit.

It doesn't matter if you are cheated or not, and it doesn't matter if the things you buy are high or low. What the two like is the atmosphere of shopping and the fun of bargaining.
