Chapter 347: You Win
"Cao Mo, what do you want to do?"
Lu Yan only relieved himself at this time and asked sharply.
Cao Mo took a puff of a cigar, slowly swallowed the clouds and puffed out the mist, then looked at Lu Yan, and asked, "Ah, do you blame me for taking a cigar on the table for nothing, or do you mean that I can't sit down here?"
The corners of Lu Yan's eyes twitched twice, and he was about to continue to question Cao Mo what his intention was to bring so many people over, but he saw that Cao Mo had turned his face away and ignored him, as if he didn't care about his questioning at all.
Lu Yan felt that the temples on both sides of his head jumped "suddenly".
Cao Mo took the playing cards from the stunned dealer, cut the cards clumsily and played, and spilled a deck of playing cards in his hand in two clicks, but he threw away the residual cards in his hand without care, picked up a red chip on the table and glanced at it, looked at Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao and said:
"Mr. Han and Mr. Lu are characters who want to shake the mountains with a stomp no matter where they are, how can they play this kind of poker game? Don't you think it's boring? Lu Yan is a no-egg, I asked him to play a game of 500,000 yuan before, but he didn't accompany me, so I was not interested in Texas Hold'em for a long time. Today, Mr. Han and Mr. Lu are here, and I think this wish of mine should be able to come true......"
Cao Mo only watched Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao talking, it seemed that the others present were not worth mentioning in his eyes, Lu Yan was so angry that his hands and feet trembled, but Ade, Oulu and other bodyguards lined up behind Cao Mo, staring at everyone's every move.
Although the eight policemen from the Longta Police Station stood at the gate and did not follow, Lu Yan also knew in his heart that he really wanted to order the bodyguards of the casino to do anything unfavorable to Cao Mo, and these eight policemen and the police force of the eight police cars sitting outside the main building did not know how many people, it was definitely enough for them to eat a pot.
Abacha, Yang Deshan, Xie Sipeng and other figures did not appear, Lu Yanming knew that Cao Mo came to the door single-handedly to stir up trouble, he could only endure it, and he couldn't have the slightest handle to be caught by Cao Mo and give him the opportunity to make a big fuss.
It's just the hatred in his heart, this feeling of swallowing it hard, it's really uncomfortable.
Cao Li was frightened by such a big movement at first, but at this time, she eased up a little, and saw Cao Mo walking in and pretending to be stupid in characters like Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao, and still playing a game of 500,000 cards with them, she immediately felt a little crazy, and shouted: "Cao Mo, are you crazy?"
To be honest, how her parents have treated Cao Mo's family over the years, Cao Li has seen it in her eyes.
Therefore, her family encountered great difficulties and crises a few years ago, Cao Mo's family stood by and watched, unwilling to ask Chen Rong to come forward to help say a word, Cao Li can also understand, she does not have any resentment in her heart, but feels embarrassed by her parents' things before, and at this time, she can't help but persuade Cao Mo not to know what to do in front of a character like Han Shaorong.
Cao Mo glanced at Cao Li and ignored her, but gently tapped the gambling table with the chips, quietly waiting for Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao's reactions.
Cao Li's voice was kind, and when she saw that Cao Mo didn't appreciate it at all, she was also angry enough.
Zhang Jin was cleaned up by Cao Mo, and he never had a chance to get back to the festival, so he couldn't help but sneer: "Someone makes a few bucks in Africa, but he doesn't know how many catties and taels he has - he only makes a few bucks a year, he knows that at the Texas Hold'em poker table, 500,000 can play for a few minutes?"
"......" There were many gamblers in the hall who came to see the excitement, and when they heard Zhang Jin say this, they looked at him like a fool, and asked in a whisper: "Who is this young man, he is qualified to look down on Cao Mo, what is his origin?"
"I don't know, just look at him running behind Lu Yan all day long, I don't think he can be better than Lu Yan. ”
"It's not better than Lu Yan, why did he say such a thing? Doesn't he know that Lu Yan doesn't dare to play in front of Cao Mo now? Now it's up to Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong to play this game with Cao Mo - it's so enjoyable today, I lost more than 10,000 just now, and I regret that I shouldn't have come over to play today, I didn't expect there to be this good show to watch. Mom, today's noodles can be taken out and blown for several years, your phone doesn't have a camera function, hurry up and take a picture......"
Cao Fangming hesitated whether to behave in front of Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao, and taught Cao Mo a few words as an elder, but when he heard the gamblers around him talking about it, and even a few gamblers with extraordinary bearing stood aside, nodding and greeting Cao Mo with a smile, he was a little confused.
What's going on?
Cao Mo didn't look at his uncle Cao Fangming and Cao Li's reactions at all, but there were a few gamblers who were investors in the park and traders who had done a lot of trade, and greeted with a smile: "Sit down and play two together?"
"You just spare us, how can we be qualified to accompany you to play such a big game with Mr. Han and Mr. Lu? We will be responsible for watching the excitement, opening our eyes, and waving the flag for you today. The person watching the excitement said with a smile.
Of course, Han Shaorong was not frightened by Cao Mo's momentum, picked up a chip and threw it in the lottery area to show his intention to fight, and did not look at Cao Mo directly, but turned his head and smiled at Lu Jianchao and said: "Lu Yan really shouldn't even dare to play a game of 500,000 US dollars, so that he can be arrogant like this." Since he's interested, let's play him two rounds?"
"Xintaihua dares to open a casino on the south bank of Conero Lake, so naturally there is no reason to refuse customers—how many chips are you going to redeem?" Lu Jianchao asked with a gloomy face staring at Cao Mo.
"It's good that Xintaihua doesn't refuse customers—but why do you need to exchange chips so much?" Cao Mo snapped his fingers.
At this time, the two bodyguards each walked into the hall with two black suitcases, walked to Cao Mo's side, opened the four black suitcases, and poured the four million dollar bills on the wide gaming table.
Cao Fangming, Cao Li, and Zhang Jin all looked at the scene in front of them in amazement.
Without even counting them, they could roughly guess that one suitcase should be a full million dollars in cash, and four suitcases were four million dollars.
The 500,000 games that Cao Mo just said did not refer to RMB, but to US dollars?
Although Cao Li just sat down at the table today and learned to play Texas Hold'em, she also knows how crazy half a million dollars is.
And what is the concept of four million dollars? Her father in Xinhai still claims to be a successful person, but he was almost forced to death by four million dollars a year ago, okay?
Cao Mo took $4 million in cash to the table without any chips on the table, so did the small blind have to take $10,000 directly to the base?
Cao Li felt that this world was a little crazy.
She knew that Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao were used
's net worth, he wouldn't care about such a gamble, but how old is Cao Mo, where did he get so much cash?
Looking at the onlookers on the left and right all looked like they were taken for granted, Cao Li couldn't help but think, grandma said that he was developing well in Africa, did he mean that he was a professional gambler in Africa?
Zhang Jin's face was ugly.
Cao Fangming thought that he wanted to teach Cao Mo a few words for Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchaoqiang just now, but at this time he could only swallow a mouthful of saliva, shut up and sit aside without the slightest desire to speak:
Xinhai heard that the old family's kid mixed well in Africa, and he thought that at most he could earn hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars a year, which can indeed be said to be a good mix, but he suddenly realized that the so-called "good mix" in the neighborhood seemed to be ridiculously wrong.
It is not an exaggeration to say that in Africa, if you earn more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year, you can hire full-time bodyguards and drivers, and young people can make money, and it is not an exaggeration to hire a few more bodyguards in order to be prestigious.
However, the cash of three or four million US dollars is piled up on the gambling table like a hill, which really scares Cao Fangming, he has only saved a few dollars in his life?
"I have brought so much cash, and it is very difficult to withdraw it from the bank temporarily, but my checkbook can be borrowed from the United Bank of Oman for a total of 100 million US dollars, which should be able to accompany you all night," Cao Mo took out a cheque book from his arms again, threw it on the table and said, "If you are worried that I will play malicious overdraft, you can contact the CEO of the United Bank of Oman for West Africa to confirm now." ”
As soon as Cao Mo said this, Cao Fangming almost bit his tongue: 100 million US dollars?! Not a 500,000 US dollar bureau?
"Lu Yan is a small character, playing a game of 500,000 US dollars with him, he can afford him, but he doesn't know how to lift, but he also plays 500,000 games with Mr. Han and Mr. Lu, and he looks down on you too much," Cao Mo said lightly, "Let's not play too big today, let's limit it to 100 million US dollars, lose it and ......leave."
Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao's faces changed.
Even with Han Shaorong's net worth, he may be able to take 100 million US dollars out and be willful without breaking his bones, but it is impossible to accompany Cao Mo to go crazy at the gambling table.
Han Shaorong may be a legend in Xinhai, but Cao Mo is a legend in the minds of Chinese businessmen in West Africa, especially gamblers who like to haunt casinos and like excitement.
After the collapse of the Jidam family, Cao Mo no longer tried every possible way to hide his interests in companies such as Ibogu Mining and Conero Cement, and at this time he had straightened out the equity relationships of major entities.
Even if these will not be made public, Draculamo's Chinese business circle is too small, and bits and pieces of information are gathered together, and everyone can almost piece together the truth.
At present, the hundreds of Chinese businessmen who are roaming in Akwa are mainly gold diggers, and the news that Qian Wenhan and Xinhai Gold have invested heavily in the Wusang River project has long been spread throughout the gold digger community.
This is the event that has inspired almost twice as many people from elsewhere to flock to Akwa's gold extractive industry this year.
There are all kinds of rumors among the Chinese businessmen in Draculamo about how much wealth Cao Mo has in these three or four years, but Cao Mo has never responded positively.
At this time, seeing Cao Mo inviting Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao to play such a big gamble, all the people present were good gamblers, and their eyes couldn't help but burn up again; seeing that Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao actually had the intention of retreating, and a few people who were not afraid of offending them couldn't help but boo.
Besides, after Cao Mo walked in, many people knew what was going on, and they all happily gathered around to watch Cao Mo smash the field, but they didn't expect the field to be smashed more enthusiastically than they imagined.
"Cao Mo, what do you mean by this? I deliberately came over today to smash our Taihua field!"
Lu Jianchao stared at Cao Mo with stern eyes, of course he couldn't be stimulated to play such a big gamble.
The casino has the rules of the casino, it is impossible for anyone who comes to smash the field with a huge check and needs to respond, just coax it out, the agitation method has no effect on them, but today Cao Mo came to smash the field, almost all the gamblers present knew the reason before and after, Lu Jianchao didn't want to weaken the momentum, and didn't want Cao Mo to win people's hearts away, and he also asked at the moment,
"We put forward the construction plan of Binhai New City, which is also caused by the strong voice of Draculamo City. We all play by the rules, and you don't have to be too aggressive—you're not at Kanem yet. ”
"More than a year ago, so many of you Taihua were besieged by gangsters, who did not care about the past suspicions for you to relieve the siege? You turned around and forgot about it, and I don't pay attention to you, but you will take revenge and stir up my affairs, this is the first time, I will use this money to smash your face today, and no one present today will say that I am not!"
Cao Mo picked up a stack of US dollars, flipped through them in his hand, and finally threw the stack of US dollars back on the table, without really smashing Lu Jianchao's face, looking at the cigar in his hand, and said slowly,
"However, I can't help but wonder if you don't really want to do anything about Conero Marina New Town this time, but in fact you don't want to see me do this in Kanem, just to be this-stirring stick - if I can't stand it, maybe I will really fall for you, and then you can go around and spread the word that I ruined your plan to build Marina New Town, so that Kanem looks me up and down and sees me as a spoiler. Okay, I'm here to tell you that you won, I decided to put up with this, and I'm not here to smash the field today - this 100 million US dollars was originally the start-up capital I prepared for the Huwan Industrial New City, and I specially brought it to you at this time. Now that our plan has been ruined by you, it doesn't matter if you dare to play and lose this money. And before I came here, I spoke to the members of the Lonta City Council, and also to the major shareholders of Conero Energy, and we only had two demands: first, you should compensate the Lonta City Hall at a price of $400 per acre for the 150,000 acres of construction land on the south shore of Conero Lake and the 26,000 acres of water area on the south side of Conero Lake. If there is anything that feels excessive, Ronta can transfer the land from the north of Draculamo City to the north at double the price. The second point is that the power grid construction rights of Binhai New Area should be owned by Conero Energy, and in order to meet the construction needs of the Haibin New Area, Conero Energy will inevitably invest a lot of money to upgrade the scale of power generation, transmission and distribution and power grid facilities, which requires you to pay a deposit of 50 million US dollars. At the end of the day, we're going to prevent you from being just
A false shot will cause huge losses due to the investment of Conero Energy......"
"......" Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong looked at each other, but they didn't expect Cao Mo to openly put these conditions in front of so many people.
"Whether you really have the sincerity to do Cornello Marina New City, or whether you are purely here to be a-stirring stick, now it depends on your attitude," Cao Mo said, "NSanger is here, if you think that there is anything too much about these two conditions proposed by the Lonta Municipal Council and Conero Energy, you can ask Nsanger to contact Mr. Oppenheimer- The night was long, and I had no intention of sleeping, even if I had to ask Mr. Oppenheimer and the chairman of the Draculamo City Council and the chairman of the Draculamo Port Group to come and settle the matter together, and I would apologize to them afterwards for any rudeness. ”
Naturally, Nsanger hopes that the construction of the new Cornello Marina City will really start.
In addition, he and his family hold 7% of the shares of Conero Energy after the reorganization, so the conditions proposed by Cao Mo on behalf of Conero Energy are not too much in his opinion, quite reasonable, and quite necessary - think about Conero Energy after getting a deposit of 50 million US dollars, the valuation will be able to rise to a higher level in two years, and the family background of his Oppenheimer family will be richer.
In addition, how big of a face does it take to take away more than 100 square kilometers of high-quality construction land from Longta without compensating a penny?
Now that Ronta's arms can't twist his thighs, he no longer fights with Draculamo, and only asks for compensation accordingly, can it be said that they are excessive?
"......" Lu Jianchao was stopped by Cao Mo and was speechless.
Cao Mo was going to squeeze out their precious cash flow from the beginning, and of course he wouldn't agree easily.
What's more, their contribution at this time was only to compensate the town hall of Lonta and act as a security deposit, and the real expropriation of the land from the tribal chiefs who owned the land, and an additional expense.
However, he can't say that Cao Moti's request is excessive, next to the most prosperous city in West Africa, Draculamo, with more than 100,000 acres of construction land and more than 20,000 acres of water area, he can get it for only more than 100 million US dollars, which can be said to be quite cheap in any case.
If he accuses Cao Mo of making things difficult, it can only prove that they have no sincerity in building Conero Coastal New City at all.
"It's not a good thing to be so aggressive. Han Shaorong said slowly.
"You say it's aggressive, or I don't know what to do, but I just can't rub sand in my eyes. You are really sincere in building the Conero Coastal New Town, for the sake of the overall situation of Kanem's construction, I can endure this breath and not fight with you for anything, but you are purely here to be a-stirring stick this time, just to get along with me, don't blame me for not leaving you a little affection in the future!" Cao Mo said sternly, "I don't know what kind of aggressiveness I have in doing this, is it possible that you must be weak and let you ride on your head to bully, so that you can be regarded as a lift?"
Cao Mo no longer cared about Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao's reactions, and said to Ensanger: "Ensanger, you call your father, if we can't meet these two requirements, I don't think the Oppenheimer family really needs to cooperate with two-stirring sticks - the Oppenheimer family has cooperated with me in the past few years, and it shouldn't have suffered any losses, right?"
Seeing Cao Mo openly provoking their relationship with the Oppenheimer family without any scruples, Lu Jianchao was so angry that his forehead jumped.
Cao Li and her father sat there staring at each other, completely unaware of what was going on in front of them.
Han Shaorong proposed the construction plan of Conero Binhai New City to the Lu family, which actually disturbed Cao Mo's affairs, and Cao Mo couldn't get angry today and ran over to smash the field?
Cao Mo has developed well in Africa, how "good" is it?
ran over to take a gamble of 100 million US dollars to bluff characters like Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao, and then asked Lu Jianchao and Han Shaorong to give more than 100 million US dollars in compensation and deposits, otherwise they would tear their faces and fight against Han Shaorong and Lu Jiancheng, how "good" is this?
Ensanger also immediately took out his mobile phone and called his father Niz Oppenheimer, told him about the situation tonight, and handed the phone to Cao Mo after a while.
After Cao Mo exchanged phone calls with Niz Oppenheimer, he handed the phone back to Nsanger, and then said to Han Shaorong and Lu Jianchao slowly: "Since Mr. Oppenheimer said it, then I will give him face and give you a day to think about it - we will prepare the relevant agreement at this time tomorrow and wait for you to come at Lakeside House." ”
Cao Mo extinguished the cigar directly on the table, then stood up and walked out of the hall, leaving four bodyguards to clean up the cash on the table.
Han Shuyun, who didn't know where to play just now, jumped over, almost collided with Cao Mo, staring at Cao Mo with wide and beautiful eyes, even if she didn't think about contacting Cao Mo when she came to Africa to play this time, but she couldn't help but ask: "Why did you come here to play today, leaving so early?"
"I came to ask your dad to gamble money, but I didn't expect your dad to be scared by me directly, not to mention a few useless chickens in the Lu family - since no one dares to gamble with me, I naturally have to leave. Do you want to stay with me for two days?" Cao Mo asked, standing at the door.
"Cut, you don't have to pay taxes for bragging, who wants to live with you?" Han Shuyun rolled her eyes to Cao Mo, and quickly ran to her father Han Shaorong, coquettishly hugged Han Shaorong's arm and said, "Cao Mo's face is getting worse and less to clean up - how big a game he wants to play, I'll play with him!"
"Don't mess around!" No matter how good Han Shaorong is, when so many people are teased and ridiculed by Cao Mo like this, he is no less annoyed than when Cao Mo spit out his face that time, and he has no good tone towards his daughter Shuyun.
"......" Han Shuyun snorted and threw Han Shaorong's arm aside.
Cao Mo hadn't left yet, so she looked over with a smile and asked, "Your dad is in a bad mood, are you going to live with me?"
"Get out, who cares about you?" Han Shuyun naturally didn't have a good face towards Cao Mo.
Cao Mo spread his hands and walked out into the deep night outside the hall.
After many bodyguards left with Cao Mo, the police officer who led the team signaled the eight police officers to leave finally, and did not forget to teach Yan Ming a few words before leaving: "There have been several reports of beating tourists here in the southern district, all of which are related to you - next time we receive such a report, don't blame us for strictly following the procedures?"
How can casinos not use any means to deal with those bad gamblers who smoke money and rely on casinos for nothing? However, people under the eaves have to bow their heads, and in the end, whether they want to swallow their anger or not depends on the fate of Taihua Industrial Park......
