Chapter 216 Macau after dark is the real Macau!
The distance from Hong Kong to Macau is actually not close, only about 60 kilometers.
But it only takes about ten minutes by plane!
The closest one is from Hengqin in Shenzhen, which is just across the river from Taipa.
Because Macau is small in size, it may not even be as big as an airport in Shanghai, so it is mainly divided into two places.
One is in Macau and the other is in Taipa.
Another point is that mainland tourists cannot stay in Macau for more than 7 days each time!
This was also some little-known knowledge that the crew told Xu Yungang on the plane, otherwise he wouldn't have known it.
The landing place for Hong Kong and Macau helicopter flights is the rooftop of Wan Chai Pier.
As soon as I got off the plane, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel's Rolls-Royce shuttle was already waiting here not far from the pier.
It turned out that on the way here, Xu Yun directly called the front desk of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel here and booked a sky suite for himself.
The reason why he booked this hotel was because he had stayed there before when he was in Chengdu and was a top-level member of this hotel, so he felt it was pretty good.
So I chose it again.
Originally, the hotel did not accept same-day reservations for its Skyline Suite, but after checking Xu Yun's membership level, they gave the green light.
Money makes the world go round. Rules are meant to restrain ordinary people.
As a guest of the Skyline Suite, Xu Yun naturally enjoyed the best service.
There is a classic saying that goes like this: the place with the best service quality in the country is in the south, and the place with the best service in the south must be Macau.
Therefore, Macau’s services are the best and top-notch in the country.
As for why, it’s because the most developed industry here is gambling.
Once people lose, they will become very irritable and will find many excuses, so the service here will definitely make you feel at home.
If you win money, you will definitely be happy. If he provides good service, you will definitely give him a lot of tips.
As a 24-hour exclusive hotel butler assigned by the hotel to Xu Yun, she took the initiative to greet him when Xu Yun got off the plane.
"Hello, Mr. Xu."
The young and beautiful woman in uniform said respectfully: "I am the Ritz-Carlton's personal butler. My name is Good Luck. I am glad that you chose to stay in our hotel."
"good luck?"
Xu Yun smiled and said, "Your name is a bit special."
"Because the guests who come here all hope to have good luck."
Good Luck smiled and explained: "So our names all carry certain meanings, so that customers can have good luck and really stay with us for a long time."
For example, the buses here are all called Good Luck Buses.
"makes sense."
"Mr. Xu, the Maybach car behind me is ready for you.
The driver's health certificate, criminal record certificate, and 30-year traffic accident-free certificate have all been sent to the email address you left in advance, so please rest assured."
Haoyuan opened the back door, made an inviting gesture, and said: "It will welcome you and your friends back to our Ritz-Carlton Hotel to feel the comfort of home."
"OK, thanks."
After Xu Yun got in the car, she was about to help Lin Wanzhou open the other door, but was rejected by Lin Wanzhou.
"I'm just Mr. Xu's bodyguard. You don't have to worry about me. Just serve him well." After saying that, Lin Wanzhou sat directly in the passenger seat.
"Okay, I know."
He looked at Lin Wanzhou with some surprise from a distance. He thought the two were friends, but it turned out that they were the employer and the bodyguard.
He has bodyguards to protect him when he goes out, no wonder he came here directly by helicopter.
I don’t know which big boss from the mainland this is. After playing in Hong Kong Island, he came here to play again.
For such valuable guests, they can provide the best service possible.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel is located in the Galaxy Integrated Resort. There are many famous shops and dining options downstairs, where you can enjoy shopping and dining.
Of course, the most famous and central area here is the Galaxy Casino.
After Xu Yun arrived at the hotel, the personal butler assisted him with the check-in procedures. The card can be swiped directly. Except for a few places to play, most of them support WeChat, Alipay and other methods.
The currency here is mainly Hong Kong dollars.
This time, the Skyline Suite is 350 square meters, which is quite large. The overall color scheme is white and gray. There are two bedrooms, which are quite far apart, and three bathrooms, which is equivalent to turning two suites into one.
So Xu Yun didn't open another one for Lin Wanzhou.
It's not that he was reluctant to spend the money, but Xu Yun felt that it would be safer for the two of them to live together in a place like this.
If anything happens to me, at least I can get here as soon as possible.
He didn't worry about this when he was in Hong Kong Island.
Xu Yun has no interest in any private butler service at the moment. It is nothing more than being on call 24 hours a day and helping you call a taxi, book a restaurant, etc.
So once he got back to the room, he sent the man away after listening to his explanation about the hotel and Galaxy Integrated Resort.
I also gave the other party a little tip as per local customs.
Not much, just 1 yuan.
Don't think this is a lot.
Although Macau looks small, the minimum per capita wage starts at 7000, and the personal GDP is the highest in the country, with an average annual personal income of 9 US dollars.
So a tip of 1 is not really that much.
Xu Yun stood in front of the huge circular floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the entire Galaxy Resort from a high altitude.
"What are you thinking?"
Lin Wanzhou sighed: "This place is like heaven or hell. I know many rich people who came here and got sucked into it and eventually lost everything."
"I know what you want to say."
Xu Yun turned around and smiled, "Don't worry, I know what's going on. I just haven't been here before and I want to take a look."
"That's good."
Lin Wanzhou reminded Xu Yun because Xu Yun spent money too lavishly and he was afraid that he would get carried away and get stuck in this.
But judging from his appearance, it seems that he won't do that.
But it's hard to say.
Lin Wanzhou regarded Xu Yun as a friend, not just an employer, so he set a bottom line for himself or Xu Yun in his heart.
As long as he lost more money than he earned in Hong Kong Island, he would stop immediately, even if he had to use force or kidnap him.
If you can't defeat the enemy alone, call your comrades for help.
Because he couldn't just watch his friend go to the end.
"By the way, Lao Lin, when will Master Ruan arrive?"
Xu Yun asked curiously, "Have you asked?"
"It's almost there. The ship he's on has just passed customs and is on its way."
"Okay, let's take a break first."
Half an hour later, Ruan Qingnian came to Xu Yun's hotel room and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Brother Xu, why are you staying here?"
"What's going on here?" Xu Yun was a little confused.
"A murder had happened in this hotel before. It's unlucky. We usually don't stay here when we come to play."
Ruan Qingnian said: "Also, the Yinhe pig-killing racket downstairs is too ruthless. Anyone who enters there is basically dead."
"..."Xu Yun.
Ruan Qingnian said, "Come on, check out of the room, I'll take you to another hotel and another place to play."
"also."
Listen to others and eat enough.
So the three of them abandoned the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and went directly to the MGM Cotai Hotel led by Nguyen Qingnian.
During the process, Xu Yun also received a reward from the system.
Because he gave up the expensive room booking fee and changed hotels on a whim, he was rewarded with a bonus of 100 million.
There are many guest rooms here, and although each room is luxuriously decorated, the usable area is only 43 square meters. Ruan Shao naturally would not let Xu Yun live in such a room.
He told Xu Yun that there was a mysterious Moroccan palace hidden in this hotel, called Yonghua Mansion, and that no outsiders were allowed to enter.
Moreover, it is only by invitation and membership, and there is no other channel for reservation.
But Ruan Qingnian, relying on his father's billions of dollars in wealth and the VVIP card privileges of Mega Lion King's Black and Gold Lion King, opened an executive suite here.
The room has a total area of 570 square meters and is equipped with various facilities such as a swimming pool, a gym, etc. The environment is very good and it is known as a paradise in Macau.
Ruan Shao did this only because he was following orders and was not afraid of being scolded by his father when he returned home.
They didn't need to queue. The hotel arranged for someone to come to their room to check them in. Ruan Qingnian then took the two of them downstairs and walked around, introducing the surrounding environment.
Xu Yun and Lin Wanzhou walked in the carpet display corridor in the lobby on the first floor and saw the carpets used by Emperor Qianlong, each of which was inlaid with gold threads.
Needless to say, these Qing Palace carpets must have been looted back then.
We also saw a huge golden lion statue at the entrance. I heard that it was made of more than 100,000 pieces of gold foil. It looked majestic, domineering and noble.
After that we went out to eat together and then came out.
The whole world here is lit up and colorful.
Mr. Ruan said that Macau at night is the real Macau, full of decadence and extravagance.
But Xu Yun felt.
As long as you have money, you can live a life of luxury anywhere.
In the evening, Xu Yun naturally had to go to the casino.
Mr. Ruan led the two of them all the way towards the casino.
As soon as he arrived at the door, Xu Yun saw many men and women in suits sleeping on the benches, looking listless like beggars.
Ruan Shao explained: "These people have lost all their money and have no hotel to stay in. After being kicked out, they can only rest here."
"..."Xu Yun.
Lin Wanzhou looked at these people with no sympathy in his eyes, as if he was looking at dead people.
After entering the casino, Xu Yun was shocked again by the scene before him.
The whole hall is magnificent, colorful, crowded and bustling with people. A large number of card tables and various gambling machines come into view.
Mr. Ruan was already used to it. He stood aside and taught Xu Yun some common sense about casinos.
Especially some special practitioners whose activities are held in casinos.
The first are the pickpockets and pickpockets who are responsible for finding customers.
High-end pickpockets and pickpockets often frequent high-end VIP rooms. They often approach you pretending to be a guest, and will sit next to you with chips in their hands, play with you, and after gaining your trust, they will kill you.
Then there are the common money changers who earn your transaction fees.
Next are the blockers, who are responsible for managing the pickpockets. After their men find the prey, they are responsible for negotiating terms with the customers.
Finally, there are the code-launderers who are engaged in money laundering in the VIP room, and the room owners who manage the code-launderers. They are mainly responsible for contacting celebrities and dignitaries.
Xu Yun smiled and said, "You know a lot. Do you come here to play often?"
"A lot of people come here, but they just play around, the amount is not big, some win and some lose."
Ruan Shao replied: "Some of my dog meat friends come here and lose a lot, and they get easily addicted."
"Let's go, let's go exchange some Hong Kong dollars for some chips to play with and test the waters."
"No need, Brother Xu, just wait here, I'll go and exchange the chips for you."
Having said that, he left, and came back a few moments later having exchanged the chips, and there was a young man with him.
"Brother Xu, this is the owner of VIP Room No. 32 upstairs."
Ruan Shao introduced: "His name is Yan Jinzhang. Every time we come here to play, we always look for him. Today, let him play with you."
"Hello, Brother Xu."
Yan Jinzhang looked at Xu Yun and said respectfully, "Just call me Xiao Yan. I will be responsible for your full service today and ensure that you have fun and will not be disturbed by other people."
Because before coming over just now, Mr. Ruan said that today's task was not to accompany him, but to accompany the young man in front of him.
If you accompany him well, he and his friends will take care of their own business in the future.
If the companionship is not good, just block him/her.
Yan Jinzhang asked about the other party's origins and only knew that he was from the mainland. As for other information, Ruan Shao did not tell him at all and asked him not to ask around.
However, how could someone who is so cautious as to call him brother whenever he meets him be an ordinary person?
"Brother, this chip is for you."
Young Master Ruan gave all the chips he had exchanged to Xu Yun, feeling a little embarrassed.
After all, in front of Xu Yun, 200 million is really hard to come up with. His unit of measurement is tens of millions, and he buys horses by tens of millions.
He explained awkwardly: "Brother, I only exchanged 200 million. Although it's a little, you can play first. If there is no more, I will exchange it for you."
“……”Yan Jinzhang.
My goodness, 200 million chips actually made Young Master Ruan so embarrassed.
Xu Yun nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you the money then."
He didn't really want to gamble big here, he just wanted to try out various projects for the sake of novelty.
This alone is enough chips.
"Brother Xu, you are being too polite. You don't have much money."
"One yard owned by a yard."
Xu Yun laughed and said, "You are already so poor, how can I insult your wool?"
“……”Yan Jinzhang.
How dare he say that Ruan Shaoqiong!
His father is a billionaire.
After saying that, Xu Yun looked at the types of chips in his hand, which were basically three kinds.
A square card with a face value of 50, ten oval red cards with a face value of 10, and some round cards with face values of tens of thousands and thousands.
He said to the hall owner, "Xiao Zhang, right? I don't need you to compensate me. You should go play with Master Ruan. I will go around here by myself."
"Brother Xu, I heard from Master Ruan that it's your first time here, so it's better to have someone by your side."
Zhang Jinshu said: "When you play, it is also convenient to introduce you to various ways of playing so that you can get started quickly."
"No, I like to be alone."
Xu Yun said, "Mr. Ruan, go and have fun. I'll find you if there's anything."
"Okay, brother, call me if you have anything." Seeing that Xu Yun insisted, Ruan Qingnian did not try to persuade him. Anyway, Brother Lin was watching over him, so nothing would go wrong.
So he just went and played by himself.
I haven't been here for a while, and I'm really itching to do it.
After Ruan Shao left, Xu Yun gave half of his chips to Lin Wanzhou and said, "You can also take them and play by yourself. Don't follow me."
"I don't like gambling. I'm not interested."
"Then don't follow me, lest you affect my luck."
"..."Lin Wanzhou.
In the end, he took the chips Xu Yun gave him and watched the other party walk towards another VIP room on the second floor.
Lin Wanzhou looked at the chips in his hand, hesitated, and walked around the hall.
He is right. Even if I am not interested, it is always a good idea to broaden my horizons.
Then let’s have some fun?
Xu Yun was wearing luxury goods and moving casually among the various gambling tables.
Look here and there, and throw in one or two chips from time to time, worth about 1 to 2 yuan, to try your luck.
Regardless of whether he wins or loses, he will not continue and will turn to the next project.
This scene was soon noticed by some people in the casino!
