On this day, Asheng, the younger brother from the movie theater next door, came in with a roll of posters and greeted Ye Han, "Boss Ye, excuse me, I'll change the movie posters."
"Ah Sheng, after changing, sit down and have a cup of tea before leaving." It is a common publicity method for movie theaters to post movie posters in restaurants, teahouses and other crowded places to attract audiences.

"Thank you Boss Ye, oh yes, Boss Ye, you must like the movie that will be shown this time, you must go and watch it then, I will ask the boss to reserve the best seat for you." A Sheng issued an invitation.
"Why do I care about watching movies now?" Ye Han shook his head with a smile. The business of the casino has not been very good recently, and he is having a headache because of this.
"You must go see this movie." Knowing that Ye Han owns a casino, Ah Sheng went directly to him and unfolded the poster. On the poster was two foreigners sitting at the gambling table, and the name of the movie "" was written on it. "Century Gambling", there is a slogan at the bottom, 3.5 million USD Century Gambling, who is the king of gambling in the United States.
"Hiss, a gamble of 3.5 million dollars?" Ye Han immediately remembered the news he had read before, grabbed A Sheng's hand and asked, "Is this the video of the gamble in the United States last year?"
"Yes, yes, the United States edited the highlights of this big gamble into a movie and played it everywhere, and it was only recently spread to Xiangjiang; wow, I couldn't believe it before I watched it, but someone made such a big bet!" Ah Sheng envied The ground is drooling, this is 3.5 million US dollars, put it in Xiangjiang, this amount can also enter the rich list.
"Then I must watch it. When will the first game be played?" Ye Han has also been fascinated by this game for a long time. Now that he can see the video, he naturally refuses to let go of this opportunity.
"At two o'clock in the afternoon, you can come over after lunch, and the seat must be reserved for you." A Sheng said cheerfully.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Han strolled into the movie theater, greeted the boss, and sat in the front row. After the movie started, the luxurious decoration of the Flamingo Club, the mountain of cash on the gaming table, and two gamblers The superb gambling skills left a deep impression on Ye Han and all the audience.
"Wow, I only heard that Boss Huang and Boss Du in Shanghai are very good at playing mahjong. I didn't expect foreign devils to be even better at gambling!"
"You still gamble with so much money? If I were to buy a big house, marry a few concubines and enjoy it comfortably! Is it worth playing cards?"
The audience chatted a lot while watching the movie, and Ye Han was quite shocked when finally Dantraus stood up and bowed to leave. He rarely saw someone lose so badly and still maintain such a demeanor, this is the gambler's The highest state.
But before he could express his feelings for a long time, a new shock came.

"There are so many gambling masters in Hong Kong and Macau. If you can beat those foreign devils and get back the title of world gambling king, then it will be great." Someone also saw Ye Han, "Boss Ye, you are so good at dice. You must be able to defeat those foreign devils, right? How about you go to the United States and try?"
"It's just a small trick, it's not worth mentioning!" Ye Han said haha, but he was a little impulsive in his heart. He didn't go for those bonuses. If he can win against those foreign devils and win the Chinese Well, let's go and see how the foreign devil's casino was built, maybe it can bring some inspiration to myself.

One day, when Ye Han returned to the restaurant from the casino, the staff of the restaurant rushed to report to him, "Boss, there is a man from the United States waiting for you in the private room upstairs, saying that he has something for you."
