During the Republic of China period, the three tycoons of Shanghai Beach were Golden Rong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin, among the three, Jin Rong and Du Yuesheng were the most famous, but the story of Zhang Xiaolin was little known. Zhang Xiaolin was born as a gangster, always known for his fierce heart, and later earned a lot of money by running a casino, and became a rich man in the Shanghai Beach area. Compared with Jin Rong and Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin's fate was very miserable, he betrayed the country and sought glory and threw himself into the enemy's camp, and was eventually shot and killed by the righteous soldiers, leaving a thousand years of infamy. If you want to know, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Zhang Xiaolin himself was able to become a rich man was entirely by making money, and his wealth accumulation was not honorable. When he was in Hangzhou, Zhang Xiaolin opened a casino with a group of fox friends, and earned a lot of gambler's money by making thousands of dollars, so he also visited famous teachers from all over the world to learn casino cheating techniques and pit customers who came to gamble money.
The gamblers were not stupid, and over time, they found that as long as they came to Zhang Xiaolin's gambling hall, it was impossible to win money, so they changed their doors and went to other gambling houses to play. Zhang Xiaolin was very anxious about this, and seeing that his business was getting worse and worse, he decided to "release water" for the gamblers. Sure enough, in the following month, gamblers did make a lot of money in the casino. Since customers flocked to him, Zhang Xiaolin would no longer send out "bodhisattva hearts", so he came up with another way to pit people.
Zhang Xiaolin originally used mercury-filled dice and marked mahjong to deceive gamblers, and the method of deceiving gamblers was no longer feasible, and if he still used this method, it would surely cause resistance from all gamblers. Thinking about it, he began to make a special kind of magnet dice.
Magnet dice were one of the latest cheating methods at the time, and they were only a few people who knew how to make money. This is done by finding a large piece of good cow bone and cutting the strongest part of the bone to make it a complete hexahedron. Next, a hole needs to be drilled on one side of the dice, and a bean-sized piece of iron is stuffed into the bone, and then the hole is bonded with glue mixed with bone meal. In this way, the iron block inside the dice can become the center of gravity of the whole, as long as the movement of the iron block can be controlled, the specific points of the dice can be controlled. The cheater only needs to stuff a powerful magnet into the tip of his leather shoe, and the tip of the shoe is placed close to the table, and the iron block in the bone cup will be affected by the magnet inside the leather shoe, and the point of the dice will be arbitrarily changed.
Zhang Xiaolin's tricks are indeed clever, but he still has a big heel. On this day, there was a gambler in the casino, who was dressed in rags and wore a torn felt hat on his head, which seemed to be very shabby. However, he was calm in the casino and came to Zhang Xiaolin's table to watch the game. After a while, he also participated in the gambling game and began to compete with Zhang. But after a few rounds of gambling, he found that the magnet on his shoes was almost ineffective, and the points he needed were completely unobtainable, but most of them became the points needed by the other party.
In the end, the "broken felt hat" profited a large amount of money and left satisfactorily, leaving zhang Xiaolin himself feeling a little confused. Only later, Zhang Xiaolin learned from the mouth of his disciples that the original "broken felt hat" was not an ordinary person, but a well-known local gambler, and on the day he entered Zhang Xiaolin's casino, he actually took a larger magnet, hid it in the broken felt hat, and began to manipulate the dice, so that Zhang Xiaolin lost dumb.
Gambling is very terrible, and gambling is also accompanied by cheating and crime, which is one of the unstable factors affecting social stability. As for the so-called "every bet must win" in the jianghu, it is only a means to deceive people, and the real "every bet must win" is to stay away from gambling.
