Chapter 154: The Game (1)
Draculamo's Chinese business district is not big, there are two or three people at this gambling table to participate in today's banquet in Taihua, and everyone else also knows what Lu Yan, Huang Hebin, and Baha are, seeing them come over with unkind expressions, even if they don't know what happened, they have no intention of playing anymore, and they have folded their cards and left, leaving the gambling table to Shen Ji and Lu Yan.
The table was empty.
Cao Mo, Shen Ji, and Abacha also folded their cards and gave the few chips in the pot to Engesang Oppenheimer Jr. to accept.
The dealer looked at Ah Dao a little confused, not knowing whether the new round of cards should start.
"Is Lu Shao going to come over and play with us, or is he going to kick us out?" Cao Mo asked with a chip and lightly tapping on the table.
Lu Yan's forehead jumped, Huang Hebin patted the back of his hand, threw the two chips into the lottery, signaled the dealer to start dealing cards from him, and said to Bach with a smile: "We had a little misunderstanding with Mr. Shen before, so let's continue to play two downstairs?"
Baha shrugged and said it didn't matter.
Huang Hebin said to Ah Dao again: "Mr. Yan, is he free, and if he is free, please invite him to come over and play two ...... with Mr. Shen."
"Mr. Shen came over this time, why didn't Mr. Yang say hello to us in advance?" Yan Zhicheng was nearby, and before Ah Dao could go over to look for it, he had already heard the news and rushed over, sat down and greeted him.
"I decided to come here on the spot, and I also rushed to Longta in advance to stay for two days, and only returned to Draculamo today. Shen Ji said quietly.
"I don't play cards at the table very much, but Mr. Shen comes over, I always have to make an exception," Yan Zhicheng looked at everyone and asked, "We don't go to the VIP room upstairs, just play here, change to a ten-dollar one-bet game, and bring up to $20,000 in chips to the table at a time, how about it?"
"Okay, it's up to you. Cao Mo said indifferently.
Yan Zhicheng's attitude was mild, but his intuition told him that Yan Zhicheng was not good at this moment.
He thought to himself that in the past few years, Yan Zhicheng had been attached to the Jidam family to gain a foothold in Draculamo, and everything had to rely on the Jidam family, which decided that he could not explicitly support Taihua to take the lead in establishing the Chinese Business Association.
However, if Yan Zhicheng is not willing to be the puppet of the Jidam family from beginning to end, then Taihua will take the lead in forming a Chinese business association and form a force in Draculamo that can counterbalance the Jidam family, which will also be beneficial to him.
In fact, they also ruined Yan Zhicheng's affairs before.
Of course, Cao Mo was not worried that Yan Zhicheng would make unfavorable moves against them on the surface, Yan Zhicheng couldn't say that he was suffering at this time, and he had to pretend to be indifferent on the surface, and even help Shen Ji and Lu Yan to play a round.
Yan Zhicheng came over to participate in the card game, probably to find the scene for Lu Yan and Huang Hebin at the card table?
Huang Hebin's intention to ask Ah Dao to find Yan Zhicheng is also this, the two of them want to join forces to do a game?
Cao Mo knew that Yan Zhicheng's card skills were definitely not weak, but he had played an entertainment game with Huang Hebin, but he believed that Huang Hebin was fierce in his heart at this time under the gentle and gloomy surface.
Yan Zhicheng is ostensibly a puppet of the Jidam family, but he is more likely to reach an agreement with Huang Hebin in private. Cao Mo reminded Shen Jidao in a low voice.
Shen Ji looked at Cao Mo in surprise, but he could also think of such a possibility.
In any case, they can't be weaker in momentum, Cao Mo and they either swipe their cards or write checks, and they each make up 20,000 US dollars in chips.
Yang Deshan did not leave the table.
Even if you adjust the size of the blinds, as long as you can control your greed and master the rhythm, winning or losing will not be too exaggerated.
"Manager Cao......"
Cao Mo was counting the chips exchanged at the table when he heard someone greet him, turned around and unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
It was Guo Donghu, vice president of Xinxuan Food Company, who returned to China before to contact the cocoa bean trade chain.
He was dressed in colorful beach pants and a casual T-shirt, holding a sexy yoruba girl in a bikini in one hand and a stack of chips in the other
yard, walked over from the blackjack table behind him and greeted him.
Cao Mo had been playing this card for a while, but he didn't recognize him.
After confirming that Xinxuan Food was sold as cocoa powder after grinding the husk and dregs skin, Cao Mo did not contact the other party again, but he did not expect to see him in Draculamo the next month.
Breaking his toes, you can understand what he came to Draculamo for.
Cao Mo nodded, said hello, pointed to the empty seat next to him, and asked him if he wanted to come over and play two.
Texas Hold'em is very popular in Kanem's upper class, but very few Chinese people play it.
"I'm not very familiar, I'll look at two first!" Guo Donghu is a gambler, but he is also self-aware, and his hand touches the fat buttocks of the Yoruba girl, indicating that he will stand aside and watch the game before deciding whether to play or not.
Yan Zhicheng and Huang Hebin have the intention of joining forces to make a game, and Cao Mo is not afraid, but his main intention today is to think that Engesang, Brahm, Lu Yan, and Bahar can stir up a "warm spark" between them.
This kind of game full of gunpowder, Yang Deshan and Xie Sipeng are extremely conservative, their goal is as long as they don't lose too much, just play with them, so they are standard tight hand flow play, two or three rounds will participate in a hand, that must be a pretty good hole card, and no one will take their own chips and strong value cards to be angry.
Lu Yan went to the table with emotions, and it wouldn't be distressing for him to lose three or a half million dollars in one night, but he must vent his emotions from the table.
Lu Yan's gameplay is very sharp, especially against Shen Ji and Cao Mo.
At this time, Yan Zhicheng and Huang Hebin escorted Lu Yan, and it was difficult for Shen Ji and Cao Mo to set any traps on Lu Yan.
In contrast, Baja, who has always been accustomed to singing the leading role at the gaming table, played very casually and unhurriedly tonight, which really seemed to have changed his temperament.
If it is just such a situation, even if Cao Mo can keenly see through other people's hole cards in every game, it will be difficult to play anything.
Degu Poker is still a game of probability, after all, and anything can happen before the final tie is dealt.
And Yan Zhicheng and Huang Hebin are extremely skilled, they will also judge their hole cards relatively accurately by observing words and colors, and when the situation is really unfavorable, they will also remind Lu Yan to avoid their traps......
However, Engesang and Brahm are variables that are difficult for Yan Zhicheng and Huang Hebin to control.
Engesang himself is a rather arrogant person, and tonight he proposed to come over to play two games, in his opinion, Lu Yan ran up to provoke inexplicably, and put on a domineering momentum, and he was dissatisfied in his heart.
Although Engesang is not the kind of person who is so reckless that he casually stands up for others without asking questions, he will not weaken his momentum towards Lu Yan and Baha at the poker table.
Engesan's father, vice-chairman of the Draculamo City Council, seems to be much lower administratively than Baha's father, Jiddam, as the lieutenant governor of Ogun Ogun, but Kanem is not the same as the country's political structure.
Both the governor and the lieutenant governor are elected by election, and the municipal councillors of the regional municipalities are also elected by voters.
In terms of political system, they only need to be accountable to their respective constituents, and there is no subordinate relationship between who appoints and who promotes.
What's more, Oppenheimer and Gidam both belong to different political parties, and they don't know how many means they secretly used when competing for votes.
Because of his good personal relationship with Tubman Jr. and his close relationship with the descendants of the colonists, Brahm is resentful of the recent bullying of Tubman by the Gidam family.
Brahm is a reserved character, but since he met at the poker table, he will not weaken his momentum towards Baha and Lu Yan who is with Bach.
With Engesang and Brahm here, Cao Wang is much more relaxed.
Lu Xiaoji and Bacha have strong value hole cards, and Cao Mo would rather lose chips than take the initiative to call, so as to avoid Engesang and Brahm from going head-to-head with them
Confrontation.
And confirmed that Lu Xiaoji and Bacha were stealing chickens, Cao Mo gave up all the good hole cards, and let Engesang and Brahm take the chips to fight them.
Lu Yan played cards with the intention of venting his emotions, but he was also vigilant against Cao Mo and Shen Ji, Yan Zhicheng and Huang Hebin hinted, and he could still notice it vigilantly.
However, with such strong emotions, he was destined to despise Engesang and Brahm.
Even Engesang and Brahm's tough atmosphere made him even more impetuous, and he kept trying to suppress Engesang and Brahm's arrogance, so that he could play the prestige on the card table to Shen Ji and Cao Mo's heads.
In this way, Yan Zhicheng and Huang Hebin had the intention of covering Lu Yan, and the effect was greatly reduced.
"It's really the back of my hand today, I lost 4,000 dollars, and the title of winning and undefeated seems to be really unstable today, and I don't have the confidence to play anymore. Cao Mo sighed and said.
"You just lost this amount of money and don't have the confidence to play, isn't Mr. Lu going to cry?"
Engesang is the kind of arrogant and arrogant character, he doesn't think that he should accept it when he sees it, he also saw that Lu Yan had long been impetuous, and no longer followed the common rules to call and bet, so he naturally wanted to take advantage of the victory to expand the results, and comforted Cao Mo with a smile,
"I'm going to win a big win today, and then you pick the hottest girl from here to go back, one is not enough, pick two, and you won't feel a loss tonight!"
Cao Mo smiled, although he dreamed of the young model of the club all day long, he was extremely shameful of Taihua's behavior of organizing girls from China to cross the sea to Kanem to make money, and he would not make any deals with the girls here.
"If you can only limit the chips of 20,000 US dollars to the table every time, Mr. Engesan, you probably won't be able to win big or win no matter how you play tonight," Lu Yan stared at Engesang gloomily and said, "Do we want to adjust our ...... a little?"
Lu Yan didn't care about winning or losing 60,000 or 70,000 US dollars, but losing money at this juncture really made him feel extremely bad.
Obviously, if he can only allow 20,000 US dollars to be replenished at a time, his style will be suppressed by Engesang and Brahm, who have already accumulated 40,000 or 50,000 US dollars in chips in front of the table, and there is basically no chance to turn around tonight.
"No problem!" Engesang picked up a chip and threw it to the waiter girl who was standing next to him to help pile up the chips, took a puff of his cigar, and became angry, besides, he already had $60,000 in chips in front of the table, and he was confident, staring at Lu Yan without giving an inch, and asked, "How big is it, $50,000, $100,000?"
"100,000 US dollars, it's too troublesome, how can you have 500,000 US dollars on the table to have fun!" Lu Yan stared at Engesang softly, most of his anger at this time had been transferred to the arrogant Engesang, and he reported a number that made Engesang stunned.
Truth be told, in Las Vegas, in Macau, Texas Hold'em tables with $500,000 in chips at a time, there are always a few VIP rooms in the big casinos every night.
But that's Las Vegas, it's Macau.
These casinos attract gambling high-rollers in North America and Chinese mainland, and winning or losing tens of millions of dollars overnight will not become a much high-profile talking point.
This is Draculamo, the West African Kanem.
How many times a year do you get to see such a big hand played?
With a chip limit of $500,000, if you play crazy, you can't win or lose millions of dollars in one night?
At this time, how many Chinese businessmen in Draculamo could have a net worth of millions of dollars?
The previous $20,000 chip limit at this table attracted two circles of people to watch the game, and almost all the gamblers in the entire hall were attracted by this side!
Engesang couldn't answer, he couldn't help but wonder if Lu Yan was deliberately showing weakness just now, so he waited to arouse his anger and change the chip limit......
Seeing that Engesang was stopped by him, Lu Yan's heart floated with a hint of pride, and he looked at Shen Ji and Cao Mo with a sneer, and asked menacingly, "What do you say?"
