Chapter 208 Casino

He Fei felt that she shouldn't go out too much usually.

But taking this opportunity to come out again is a good idea, so she started picking, "Give me one of each of these and these."

Hua Wushang didn't ask her what kind of fabric it was, but said to her, "The twenty clothes you chose cost two thousand taels, so you need to pay a deposit of one thousand taels first."

The maid behind He Fei took out a thousand yuan as a deposit and said to him, "Boss, thank you for your trouble. I will come over in three days. Is that a good time?" Hua Wushang said yes.

The Saintess's reputation was still established in the city. When word spread that He Fei had entered and ordered twenty dresses, people assumed the place she went to must be very good, and that she had brought some business to the clothing store. The wealthy women, hearing of He Fei's presence, were delighted and all left their previous shops to come here. In no time, the store, now completely transformed, became one of the most popular clothing stores in Luoyang.

He didn't expect to be so popular on the first day, so they hired some more people to quickly finish the orders on hand.

Hua Wushang said to Chen Feng, "I think we only have rich people here. If we want to build a reputation, we need to give poor people the opportunity to buy here as well."

"So what kind of method do we need to develop?"

“We can sell it to them at a cheaper price, but they have to invite two people to buy it at the original price, so we can invite more people that way. What do you think?”

“That’s great. We really can’t afford to give up any market.” He Yi chimed in from the side.

Hua Wushang thought this method was really good, and it could be implemented in the shop tomorrow.

Chen Feng remembered that He Fei had mentioned it to him again yesterday when she came to the shop. She suggested opening a martial arts school or something. Chen Feng felt he didn't have the energy to teach them all, but he knew there was a place here where skill was the deciding factor, and he thought he could give it a try, since his skills were among the best in the area.

So Chen Feng inquired about it and went to that casino.

The casino was crowded. Two men were sparring on the stage; they were the gamblers' chips, each betting on who would win. Chen Feng could tell that one of the men on stage possessed formidable martial arts skills, so he also placed a bet on the skilled fighter.

I also heard people around me say that the rule here is that you bet on whoever wins, and if you bet correctly, you can win the money from the person on the other side.

Seeing that Chen Feng was new, the man excitedly told him a lot, "If you have martial arts skills, you can also go up and gamble. If you can defeat him, all his money is yours."

Chen Feng was very excited about this, but he also wanted to gamble a few times first, since going up right away would attract a lot of attention.

So Chen Feng went to the betting area and won several rounds. The person next to him said, "Kid, you're so lucky!" Everyone wanted to bet with him, but Chen Feng didn't. He felt that he shouldn't attract too much attention. If others followed his lead, that wouldn't be good.

Chen Feng went home today; he didn't linger. He planned to come back a few more times before placing bets or going up to the stage to compete.

Back at the tailor shop.

We had a great day. In just two days since we opened, we've already earned enough to buy another shop.

Hua Wushang was very happy to see Chen Feng and counted the silver notes in her hand.

Chen Feng didn't care much about these things, but he thought that his small shop would definitely not be enough to start a business in the future. So he told Hua Wushang to find a few more shops so they could open a chain store.

Those branch stores also need to find people, so you need to find a few trustworthy people to open these stores in more distant places. Hua Wushang thought Chen Feng's words made a lot of sense. Her shop was indeed a bit too small, so she took the money in her hand and went to find a new way.

Wu Fen has been doing business with Hua Wushang these past few days. He thinks that Hua Wushang is a very business-minded person and is very efficient by his side. He has a different opinion of Hua Wushang now. It turns out that she is not the arrogant and domineering woman she usually is. She can also do something very seriously and well.

Chen Feng then told them about his trip to the casino that day. He Yi was curious when he saw Chen Feng like this, and said, "I want to go too. Take me with you." Chen Feng replied that it was too dangerous.

You know my martial arts skills; I believe there's no SS-level person in this area who could possibly be there.

SS-rank creatures probably wouldn't go to places like that, so we don't need to worry.

Chen Feng then agreed to He Yi's request and told the two of them, "You must be careful."

The very next day, Chen Feng went to the casino with He Yi. He ran into the man who had warned him the day before, who said, "You're here again, and you've brought someone with you. Brother, do you think this is going to be fun too?" Chen Feng smiled but didn't say anything. He Yi, however, said, "I'm very interested in this. Could you please take care of us?"

Chen Feng and He Yi had been gambling here for the past two days, but he hadn't gone up. When they felt it was about time, they wanted to challenge the people upstairs, so he picked someone with decent skills and went up. "Wow, brother, you're pretty good! You dare to challenge me? I bet you'll win!" the person said, looking at Chen Feng, "even if it's just for our friendship of so many days."

He Yi smiled; he was definitely betting on Chen Feng to win.

However, the others weren't very familiar with this newcomer, and since the person on stage had defeated many people, they all bet their money on the guy opposite Chen Feng.

He Yi's brother was also very loyal. He said, "Brother, play well. It doesn't matter if you lose." So he put the money with Chen Feng.

He Yi knew his brother wouldn't lose, so he watched comfortably.

Chen Feng saw his opponent as a burly man with fierce eyes, whose moves were predictable from before. However, the challengers were all amateurs with little martial arts skill, which was why he could beat them, but Chen Feng was different.

Chen Feng used only a fraction of his strength to fight him. The man, seeing Chen Feng's hostile intentions, unleashed his full power, but Chen Feng easily dodged his attacks. Realizing Chen Feng was no ordinary opponent, the man became even more serious, his punches and kicks radiating ferocity. Chen Feng, however, was not afraid; after all, he had come from this kind of background.
