"Other than the local ruffians, if we want to be like fish in water in the Philippines, we need support from another side." Xu Yun suddenly smiled and looked at the time on his watch. It was already past ten o 'clock at night. He believed that many fun things had just begun.
Xia Qiuyu looked at Xu Yun blankly. "You mean, we have to get in touch with the bigwigs in the Philippines?"
"Of course." Xu Yun: "If we don't have the help of those in power, we won't be able to get the green light all the way. It won't be easy for us to solve the problem."
Xia Qiuyu looked troubled. "But it won't be easy to get in touch with the bigwigs, right?"
"Nothing is impossible in this world if you set your mind to it." Xu Yun said lightly. "However, we can't use any tricks when dealing with the local bigwigs. If we don't put in some effort, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to deal with them."
Xia Qiuyu looked at Xu Yun, puzzled. "Where are you going to find them? It's already night time."
Xu Yun shrugged. "It's the easiest time to find them at night. I can't just go to their office during the day. They won't receive me if I do. "
Xia Qiuyu, of course, knew that this would not work. But how could they do anything at night?
"Have you noticed the gambling culture in the Philippines?" Xu Yun smiled and asked Xia Qiuyu.
Under Xu Yun's reminder, Xia Qiuyu had a very deep impression of it. She could see a lot of it on the streets.
The gambling culture in the Philippines could be said to have permeated all aspects. Almost anything with a little competition would be linked to gambling. Here, from children to the elderly, everyone would participate. It was a common occurrence.
Moreover, there were all kinds of gambling in the Philippines, legal and illegal. Although the authorities were trying to regulate casinos, it was impossible to ban them.
In the Philippines, gambling was a kind of national entertainment. Every day, everyone would be a part of it.
Slot machines, horse racing, cockfighting, basketball, and even gambling on spiders. There were definitely all kinds of games that came out one after another.
After Xia Qiuyu arrived in the Philippines, she saw many people gambling on the streets.
To the people of the Philippines, gambling was akin to the old men playing chess in Hua Xia's park and the aunties dancing in the square.
Not only were they everywhere, but they were also not taboo at all.
"The casinos here are all legal. There's nothing worth paying attention to." Xia Qiuyu said, "Don't tell me you're going to the casinos to look for the powerful people in the Philippines?"
"Of course." Xu Yun nodded. "Do you think the casino is a place where the poor can turn over a new leaf?"
Xia Qiuyu was stunned for a moment before shaking his head.
Of course, she didn't believe that a casino was a place where one could get rich. To her, a casino was a devil's hole that could make people lose themselves completely after falling into it.
No matter how rich you were, as long as you fell into the casino, a lot of money would be taken away bit by bit. The whole process wouldn't be too long, and you wouldn't feel anything.
It would only make people suddenly realize that they were done for and that their money was gone!
"Since you know that casinos are profitable, what do you think is the purpose of legalizing casinos in the Philippines? It's nothing more than for the powerful to gain more benefits." Xu Yun: "So, every casino here has an inextricable relationship with the powerful."
Only then did Xia Qiuyu come to a realization. Xu Yun's words were indeed true.
If casinos couldn't gain benefits for the powerful, how could they be legalized?
It could even be said that the largest and most luxurious casino was owned by a large number of people in power, or even opened by the people in power.
"Then you can't go to the casino to find them. They can't possibly sit in the casino and watch over the place." Xia Qiuyu was speechless. "You're too naive and simple."
"Of course I'm not that naive." Xu Yun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "If you were the powerful person, when would you appear in the casino?"
"I … I might only appear when there are special events," Xia Qiuyu said.
Xu Yun nodded in agreement. "Then, if someone wins all your money in the casino in one night, would it be a special event?"
Xia Qiuyu nodded. "Yes, of course."
She paused for a moment. "You're not saying that you want to win money in the casino, right? Xu Yun … Don't be so naive, this kind of thing is not realistic at all. "
"Often, things that you think are unrealistic are the most realistic." Xu Yun smiled.
"No one can win against the banker in gambling." Xia Qiuyu shook her head and said to Xu Yun with certainty.
Xu Yun saw how serious she was and couldn't help but tease her. "Have you read a book called 'How to Win Against the Banker?' I wrote that book."
"There's such a book?" Xia Qiuyu was surprised.
"Of course not." Xu Yun shook his head helplessly. "But it's not that I can't win against the banker. I just need to use a little trick. I don't know how to play anything too complicated, just something like dice. It's enough to give them a headache. "
Xia Qiuyu didn't have any confidence in Xu Yun.
However, if Xu Yun wanted to force the local authorities to show up, this might be the only way.
Xia Qiuyu knew that Diebao was actually a gambling method that used dice to gamble on the big or small.
Dice allowed the players to place their bets with the banker. Every time before placing a bet, the banker would shake the three dice in a covered container. When the players finished placing their bets, the banker would open the container and reveal the colors.
Because the most common bet was to bet on the number of the dice, a total of four to ten was called small, and eleven to seventeen was called big. That was why it was often called 'big or small'. This kind of simple gambling method could be found all over the world.
Dice was a very simple game, but for the banker, it was a gambling game that always had an advantage. The players couldn't use their skills to improve their chances of winning, but in the long run, the banker would win. Among all kinds of bets, big and small were the most beneficial to the players, but the banker still had the advantage.
"Don't worry, I'll solve the problem," Xu Yun said calmly. "Just stay in the hotel and wait for my good news."
"Why can't I go with you?" Xia Qiuyu asked.
Xu Yun shook his head. "I need to spend money to find a woman to go with me. You can't go with me."
"Spend money? Find a woman? "Xia Qiuyu's expression was even more confused.
Xu Yun nodded helplessly. "People in power all have a common trait, and that is they like to mess around. Look at those corrupt people in Hua Xia. Is there a single person who has a normal relationship? Humans are animals after all. When power is greater than everything, when power allows them to do whatever they want, their beastly nature can't be hidden. "
Xia Qiuyu seemed to have understood Xu Yun's intentions.
"I'll spend money to find a woman to go with me. If they really like her, I'll just let her stay. That way, she can get to know the rich and powerful," Xu Yun said. "But if you go with me and they like you, what should I do?"
"What do you want to do!" Xia Qiuyu glared at Xu Yun.
"Of course I can't just let you stay. I have to take you with me, so I'll definitely offend those rich and powerful people. Our cooperation might be affected. If I find a woman to go with me, there won't be any trouble. "
This was something that Xu Yun had considered thoroughly. Xia Qiuyu had never thought about this problem.
After all, only men understood men the best.
Once a person was associated with corruption, their worldview would be distorted in all aspects. The disgusting side of human nature would be exposed. They would do anything dirty. This was something that didn't need to be explained.
"Then you have to be careful when you're alone." Xia Qiuyu looked at Xu Yun worriedly.
She knew that she didn't have a better solution, so she could only listen to Xu Yun and do as Xu Yun said.
