The night had fallen.
Even though Cheng Minglang and Han Jinlun had both fallen asleep, I still had no hint of sleepiness, my mind filled with thoughts of how to contact Xiao Tianci as soon as possible.
Unlike the path of revenge before, this time my time was extremely limited.
Before the Thousand King Competition officially kicked off on March 12th next year, I had about four months left, counting from today.
In these four months, besides thoroughly investigating whether Fan Yinxin's two enemies were related to Uncle Tuo's death…
I also had to do my best to find out the name of that arch-nemesis who was so deeply feared by Uncle Tuo's old friends and acquaintances!
And during this period, I still had to be extremely cautious and guard against Ying Baolin, lest he choose to suddenly attack me when he lost his patience.
I had to manage both of these directions simultaneously.
If either direction went astray and out of control, the difficulty of restoring the truth and finding the real murderer who harmed Uncle Tuo would increase exponentially!
Before I could get a handle on the first direction, I had to first figure out how to approach Xiao Tianci.
Should I barge in directly and cause a scene?
Or should I plan slowly and find another way?
After much deliberation, I finally decided to adopt the first method: causing a scene!
There was no other way, I really didn't have much time left.
If I were to plan using the same style of operation as in Wenzhou, it would probably take a month or so to contact Xiao Tianci.
So, I could only use a simple and crude "beat the game" approach to confront Xiao Tianci.
However, although this method was time-saving and effort-saving, if I wasn't careful… it would be a disaster.
One must know that Longxi is located in a plateau region, and its richness is completely incomparable to Wenzhou.
In such a plateau city, to have such a luxurious casino gave me the feeling of being in the desert gambling city of Las Vegas.
Although I hadn't met Xiao Tianci yet, just by looking at his capital and boldness, I knew he was a man of great ambition!
Before I even reached the bar area, I could hear the waves of sound from the hall getting louder and louder.
As expected, it was a first-class money-burning establishment!
After exchanging one hundred yuan for chips at the bar, I walked into the hall.
The place was crowded, noisy, and unspeakably lively and boisterous.
Gamblers with red faces and thick necks were gathered around various gambling tables, their spirits high and their focus entirely on the thrill of winning and losing.
One thought leads to another, and this is the charm of gambling.
Young and beautiful waitresses, wearing revealing low-cut tops and alluring black stockings on their lower bodies, smiled as they carried drinks, cigarettes, and beverages, weaving through the gambling tables.
After observing for a while, I found that Xiao Tianci's Tianci Building adopted the operating model of Macau casinos.
No matter how much money guests exchanged for chips at the bar, all drinks, beverages, fruit platters, and cigarettes were free!
Nine out of ten gamblers smoke, and the tenth inhales.
Putting aside drinks, beverages, and fruit platters, just the free supply of cigarettes to gamblers alone would cost at least six figures every month, a substantial outlay of cash!
And that's on the conservative side.
Although the free cigarettes were certainly not of good quality, most gamblers wouldn't care about that, would they?
With free cigarettes, why wouldn't they take as much as they could?
No wonder Xiao Tianci could grow and become strong. To be honest, I admired him just for this point.
Not only that, but I also found that these female servers were different from those in other casinos.
In Wenzhou, gamblers could flirt with the waitresses, but only if you had chips in your hand!
But in Tianci Building, in just the short time I'd been here, I'd already seen several bold gamblers take the opportunity to "accidentally" touch the waitresses while taking items from their trays.
And what's more, they didn't even leave a tip!
This wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was… that the waitresses not only didn't get angry, but they also put on a coy, welcoming act, which made those bold gamblers' eyes gleam with lust.
What I had just witnessed completely overturned my perception of casino waitresses!
Weren't casino waitresses always about the money, not the person?
Why was it different in Longxi?
After thinking intently for a while, I suddenly understood.
These waitresses hadn't changed; they were putting on a show as required by Tianci Building.
Being "touched" or "flirted with" was fine, but when it came to the crucial step, it would definitely be a matter of clear pricing and negotiation before any business was done.
But even this subtle change would make the male gamblers feel smug about getting a bargain, while at the same time fostering an ultimate sense of belonging at Tianci Building!
Free cigarettes, drinks, beverages, and fruit platters, coupled with waitresses who were willing to be flirted with, these factors combined would maximize the customers' sense of loyalty.
If I win money, I'll come back!
If I lose money, I'll definitely come back even more!
It's no exaggeration to say that Tianci Building… is simply a paradise for the fallen and the lost!
Brilliant! This marketing strategy is truly brilliant!
………………
Stepping out of my deep contemplation, I shifted my gaze to Ming Deng, who was wearing a conspicuous uniform. This group of people was also busy running around.
It seemed that with the success of the marketing strategy, the revenue from every gambling table was bound to increase.
With increased revenue, the disputes and conflicts arising from it would certainly increase as well.
After a glance, I withdrew my gaze and headed straight for the Sic Bo gaming table.
Chen Xiaodao won 3 million US dollars with 20 Hong Kong dollars. I was very curious to know how many times the hundred-dollar chip in my hand tonight would multiply before the top experts of Tianci Building made their move.
