I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

Chapter 54: We won again, that’s great!
“What to buy next?”

"Then just follow the road and buy leisure."

Old Wang's face was full of excitement at this time. Chen Xi hesitated for a moment, then whispered, but he actually didn't have much confidence in his heart.

These cards appear randomly, completely relying on luck. Any mathematical rules they follow are just coincidences.

He could only pray silently that he would win next time, and then find an opportunity to discuss the store matters with Lao Wang in detail.

"I won again, that's great." Lao Wang was very happy at this time.

In the second round, the banker has eight points and the player has nine points.

"My hair..."

The fat dealer felt extremely bored. To him, these two rounds were just like playing cards with himself. However, the two Chinese guys in front of him actually won money, which made him extremely unhappy.

His mouth kept moving, but no sound came out.

Despite this, Chen Xi still realized from his lip movements that this guy was cursing.

Under the guidance of Chen Xi, Lao Wang had good luck and won six or seven games in a row, successfully winning back most of the money he had lost before.

Several people around who followed the bet also made some small money.

"Dong Ma~"

There was another player who went against Lao Wang and lost all his money. He cursed angrily and left. Chen Xi could tell from his words that the guy was a Vietnamese.

There are many Chinese and Vietnamese people in Casino. In those days, a large number of Vietnamese people fled here and made a lot of money by selling fruits.

The prices of fruits and vegetables in Australia are quite high, even more expensive than meat.

The Vietnamese people in Casino look extremely unsophisticated, but they are actually very rich.

"Yes, this time it's all thanks to you."

After losing a game, the road was naturally cut off. Lao Wang turned his head to thank Chen Xi, and Chen Xi felt that it was time to speak.

"I want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Lao Wang is in a good mood now and plans to relax, so he takes Chen Xi to the smoking area.

"I'm a friend of Zhang Guoqiang. I heard that you have an idle shop in Box Hill. Would you consider renting it to me?" Chen Xi handed over a cigarette.

"Oh? Guoqiang's friend."

Lao Wang took a deep puff of his cigarette, narrowed his eyes, and looked at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi nodded.

"After all this time, it turns out you were approaching me on purpose. I was wondering why you didn't play cards and asked me for money!"

Lao Wang is also a smart man. At his age, he naturally knows everything.

"It's a coincidence, it's a coincidence."

Chen Xi could only deny it flatly, since everyone understood it anyway.

"I don't like to owe others. Since you gave me a lot of money back today, I'll give it to you since the shop is idle anyway."

Lao Wang lit another cigarette. Seeing that Lao Wang agreed so readily, Chen Xi hurriedly picked up the lighter and lit it for Lao Wang.

"Thank you so much, how much is the rent? I plan to rent it for a long time."

Chen Xi also lit a cigarette and asked at the same time.

"If you hadn't asked me about that shop, I would have almost forgotten about it. Just use it for yourself and forget about the money."

"That won't do. Let's put things one way and one way." Chen Xi waved his hands quickly.

In fact, Lao Wang himself does not know the shop rental prices in the market. He bought his shop a long time ago and it has been idle there ever since.

He didn't care much about that little bit of money. The winnings and losses in the casino in a day were more than the shop rent.

After the final discussion, Lao Wang offered an unexpectedly low rent of only one thousand yuan per month, which was less than half of Chen Xi's apartment rent.

Moreover, the rent for this house, located in a prime location, covers an area of ​​as much as two to three hundred square meters.

After feeling Lao Wang's generosity, Chen Xi said nothing more.

They exchanged contact information, and then Lao Wang handed a key to Chen Xi and asked him to try them one by one.

As for the contract, Chen Xi had already prepared it.

"You are really good, the contract is ready, just waiting for me to join in, right?"

Lao Wang took a quick look at it and signed his name without hesitation.

"No, no, we are heroes who appreciate each other." Before leaving, Lao Wang smiled at Chen Xi, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth. Chen Xi could only respond awkwardly.

He originally wanted to say that we are birds of a feather, but after thinking it over he decided not to.

After completing the task, Chen Xi prepared to drive home, but unexpectedly he met someone on the way to the parking lot - that was his friend from his previous life, Tommy.

Tommy was engaged in secret money lending in the casino. He lent money to gamblers and then charged interest. Although the interest was high, it was not too exaggerated. Once the loan was completed and the gamblers left the casino, Tommy would immediately collect the debt.

Winning gamblers usually pay back their loans on the spot, while losers need to go back to get the money. Tommy doesn't worry about someone defaulting on their debt.

Once there was a gambler who owed money and left Australia, but Tommy still found him and asked for the money back. As for how he did it, Chen Xi had no idea.

Although Tommy is a illegal immigrant, he is a member of the Fuqin Gang, so he gets along well in Mo Village.

Many people from the Fuqin Gang have smuggled here, and those with connections will be assigned to work as contractors at construction sites or as managers in clubs.

Tommy was a generous and righteous man. In the past, Chen Xi often drove him home, so they naturally had a very good relationship, but they didn't know each other at that time.

Chen Xi just glanced at the other person quickly and continued walking towards the parking lot.

"Don't come here next time. If you look at it for too long, you'll get addicted to gambling."

He got in the car, touched the steering wheel and sighed. His hands were shaking slightly. Naturally, he wanted to go in and play a few rounds, but he held back in the end.

"I'm going to buy a car when I make some money. It's not good to always use the company car for personal purposes. It will interfere with my work."

I usually drive out, especially to classes and to Saori's house, so I have to turn down a lot of work.

When I have enough money, I will buy a new car.

White Horse Street, Box Hill.

It is only fifty meters away from Wang Li’s Geto Internet Cafe.

Chen Xizheng and Dongdong tried to open the lock of the shop.

"Have you been cheated? Why can't I open it?" Dongdong kept trying the key in his hand.

"You didn't take my money, so what's the point of cheating me?" Chen Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Dongdong tried all the keys in turn, but none of them could open the door, which made him start complaining.

"Why not try the back door?"

At this moment, Xiao Ming walked out leisurely from the other end of the street and pointed to the back of the store.

Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh that a top student is a top student.

"Click!" The door lock was opened.

"Sure, Xiao Ming!"

A few minutes later, they successfully opened the back door of the store, but the scene before them made the three of them feel very troubled.

The store was filled with an unpleasant musty smell, which seemed to have accumulated over the years.

The wallpaper has fallen off and has many spots of mold, as if it has been through the baptism of time.

The carpet was dirty and I didn't know what was on it. The room was almost filled with all kinds of garbage. Fortunately, there were no traces of food residues. Most of them were discarded items related to clothes.

The front door seems to have been forgotten by history and is completely impossible to open. Perhaps it will require the help of professional lock-picking techniques to unlock it.

The store is divided into three areas, one of which is a staircase leading directly to the second floor.

The passage to the back door is a ramp leading to another room.

The entire space layout is quite peculiar. The area that was originally used as the gate has become the middle floor of the store, which is quite surprising.

There was no problem with the overall layout. His friend from his previous life, Dalu, simply did some renovations before opening the place.

"The holidays are coming soon. I'll just have to find someone to renovate this place and then go to the street behind to buy some computers."

"Where are the business license and the internet cable?"

"I'll do this."

"You two go take care of the decoration."

Chen Xi assigned some tasks. Dongdong and Xiaoming were responsible for contacting the decoration company, which was relatively easy to handle.

However, the processing of business licenses and network lines requires more energy and time.

Due to the low efficiency of Australia, it takes a long time to process a business license.

As for network lines, most areas in Australia use ADSL networks. Applying for fiber-optic networks is more troublesome and requires professional personnel to come and install them.

Fortunately, he had learned about these situations when chatting with Mainland in his previous life. As long as he follows his friend's experience, he should be able to solve the problem smoothly.
