A few years later, the famous Hollywood producer Paris Hilton published an autobiography that quickly topped the global bestseller lists, staying at the top of the list for 18 months.

The reason why this book is popular is not only because of Paris's own topicality, but more importantly, because it reveals a lot of unknown things about Li Yuan.

For example, in the chapter "Wizards of the Far East", Paris mentions "high betting".

This incident was later called the "world-end gamble" and caused a lot of heated discussions on the Internet

Before this, few people knew that Li Yuan's vital pot of gold on the road to growth was actually won by gambling.

Paris writes in her book:

“…… While we were dining in Barbato, Lee suddenly asked me, 'There's an opportunity to make money now, are you interested?' Of course I'm interested, no one is going to have trouble with money, isn't it?, so I asked him what the opportunity was, and he said, 'Bet on the president.......'"

……

"I've heard of betting on horses, dogs, and as for the president...... It doesn't seem like an election year?"

"To be precise, bet on the outcome of the impeachment case. ”

Li Yuan tapped his fingertips on the table and said: "The impeachment case will be voted on tomorrow, and I think many people are very concerned about the final result, and Bocai Company is certainly no exception...... The problem now is, I can't jump right in and need some help......"

"Can you determine the outcome of the vote?"

"Hmm. ”

"Well, whatever confidence you get from, what do you need me to do?"

……

Li Yuan said there was a reason he needed Paris's help.

First of all, he needs a large amount of funds, which must have "Anglo-American blood", so as to avoid the trouble of the bookmaker defaulting on the debt, the exchange of funds, etc.

Secondly, he can't come forward directly, not because he is afraid of leaving a bad record, but because he is only sixteen years old now, and according to English law, he cannot bet under the age of eighteen.

Yes, the United Kingdom.

The British are well-known in the world for their good betting, and they gamble on everything, so naturally they will not miss such a big event as the impeachment of the US president.

……

Paris asked, "How much money do you need?"

Li Yuan replied, "The more the merrier." ”

The more the bet, the better, Li Yuan does not know the specific odds at present, but the general trend is still clear, Bilton's poll support has not been low, and the chance of winning is very high, in other words, the odds of betting on him to win will not be too high.

"Exactly?" Paris asked again.

"At least $10 million. Li Yuan said lightly, but the two hands under the table clenched tightly because of nervousness.

Paris's brows furrowed, and she said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I may not be able to help you." ”

Li Yuan was a little disappointed, but it was reasonable to think about it, no matter how good the relationship was, everyone had to weigh it when it came to so much money.

Paris noticed Li Yuan's expression and quickly explained, "It's not that I don't want to lend you, but I can't take out so much money......

She thought for a moment, picked up her phone, and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make a call......"

Paris walked to the side to make a phone call, and after a while, came back and said to Li Yuan: "I talked to my uncle about it, and he wants to meet you and talk about this matter in person." ”

……

At the mention of Paris's uncle, Li Yuan felt a headache.

The guy with the same name as the world's most famous duck has a similar personality to the duck, irritable, quarrelsome, has excessive self-esteem, has a limited IQ but likes to play tricks, is very speculative and self-righteous......

Li Yuan had met this "Uncle Tang" before, and the process was very unpleasant.

People want to be friends with a guy who is arrogant and has no one in his eyes.

Now that Donald sent out an invitation, Li Yuan was a little hesitant.

But he only hesitated for three seconds before making a decision.

So, half an hour later, he showed up in Donald's office.

……

Donald sat lazily in the boss's chair, took a puff of his cigar, and said to Li Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa: "I hate you very much, but Paris likes you, so I am willing to talk to you." ”

Without giving Li Yuan a chance to speak, Donald continued: "I heard Paris say that you plan to bet on the impeachment of the president?"

"Yes. ”

"You shouldn't be short of money, why do you need to borrow money?"

"If I say I'm afraid that the British will pay their bills, do you believe it or not?"

"Forget it, I'm not interested in knowing why. Donald waved his hand and said, "Did you know that this is a violation of the rules?"

"How?"

"People like us can bet on the queen's cup and the princess's menstrual period, but there are some things that we won't participate in even if we know that we can win......"

Donald's words made Li Yuan fall into deep thought.

There's a problem here

What are rules?

To put it another way, for example, in a boxing match, the audience can choose a position, can place bets, and even go down to help the boxing, although it destroys the rules of the game, but the game can still be carried out in a different form, which is not considered to break the rules.

What is a rule breaker?

If the referee and the organizer take sides, or even go down to the fight in person, the game cannot continue, which is a violation of the rules.

Nowhere is this more evident than in American politics.

The process of businessmen investing in politicians to gain political status for them, and politicians, after gaining status, in turn provide policy facilitation to businessmen, is essentially a transaction.

If a politician gains status and turns his back on the position of the financier, he breaks the rules, and such a person usually does not end well.

Like Lincoln, like Kennedy.

In the same way, if a businessman abandons a politician and dies in person, it is also a violation of the rules.

What Li Yuan intends to do now is not fundamentally different from what a businessman abandons the president and ends up in person.

The bookmaker opens a gambling game to take advantage of the weakness of ordinary people's poor information, and poor information is not a problem for the upper class of the pyramid, so most of the top rich will not participate.

In a sense, this amounts to a unilateral declaration of war.

……

Donald didn't give Li Yuan too much time to think.

He stood up and gestured to leave.

"By the way, I'm a Republican and Bilton is a Democrat, and you think I'll lend you money to bet on him to win?"

Donald's words brought Li Yuan back to his senses, and his mind turned sharply and he called out to the other party.

"Wait a minute!"

Li Yuan calmed down and said: "I admit that your theory of rules is very reasonable, but I believe in one sentence more: rules are used to break." ”

Noticing that Donald's footsteps stopped, Li Yuan's confidence increased greatly, and he continued: "I don't think you will be satisfied with just being a businessman. ”

Donald looked back.

Li Yuan then added: "You haven't thought about becoming president?"

After saying this, Li Yuan stopped speaking.

Donald and Li Yuan looked at each other for a long time, then suddenly returned to their desks and sat down.

Seeing this, Li Yuan lit a cigarette and said unhurriedly: "The last time we met, you said that you made a cameo appearance in "Genius Nanny" (a famous American sitcom series, broadcast from 1993 to 1999)

After I went back, I deliberately watched the video and found a problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Donald was a little curious.

“zillionaire。 ”

Li Yuan spit out a word, and then said: "This word was used when introducing your character in the TV series, and I guess it should be your idea." We introduce a person, and we often say, he's a millionaire, he's a multimillionaire, but under normal circumstances, no one would use the vague word 'trillion millionaire'. Let me guess, it's not just for the role, right?"

Li Yuan flicked off the cigarette ash and said: "Not only this film, but the films you starred in are all images of successful businessmen, and I can think that this is carefully designed." Why? Because America is a wealthy society...... People instinctively worship successful people, and the best representative of success is wealth. ”

"Please continue. The cynicism on Donald's face disappeared, and the word "please" was rarely used.

"It seems unnecessary for a businessman to do this just to create a personal image, unless his ambitions are not limited to the business world. So, what do you want? Money?"

Li Yuan shook his head and said, "With your current wealth, no matter what you do, the rate of return is higher than that of TV salary, so what you want is obviously not more money." Knowing this, the rest is simple, who else needs such a high level of exposure?"

When Li Yuan's words stopped, Donald laughed.

"Yes. "I never said I was a rule-abiding person," he said. ”

……

Li Yuan walked out of Donald's office, and several girls greeted him one after another.

Paris took the lead and asked, "How's it going?"

Li Yuan smiled and made a V-shaped gesture.

"Yay!" Paris jumped up, hugged Li Yuan, and said, "I knew you could convince him!"

"To be honest, this uncle of yours is more stubborn than I thought, and it is not easy to convince him......"

……

Not easy, but at least it worked.

Li Yuan's empty mouth white braces to a huge gambling book of 80 million pounds!

To be honest, when he signed the loan agreement, Li Yuan's palms were sweating all the time, and everything felt like a dream that was unreal.

Eighty million pounds, that's all the liquidity that Donald can currently manage in the UK.

Donald has no doubts about Li Yuan's ability to repay, aside from Li Yuan's "identity", a black gold card is enough to guarantee it.

As for why Donald didn't end up himself......

The reason is not complicated.

First, he was not ready for war with the British.

In fact, the money he lent would not carry his attributes, but would be reduced to pieces through complex operations and flowed into the gambling pool through the hands of several investment companies...... It's too cumbersome to explain, you just need to know that it's hard to trace the source, and you can avoid the closure that can result from a single huge amount of money pouring into the pool.

Second, Donald didn't believe that Li Yuan could win at all.

This shows Donald's cunning, he is willing to lend money to Li Yuan, because he doesn't believe that Li Yuan can win at all.

In fact, before the two met, Donald learned about the situation in Britain by phone, and there were certainly bets on the impeachment case, but none of the companies gambled on the impeachment outcome.

This is not difficult to understand, because the current poll support and media trend are favorable to Bilton, so the company will not give an either-or option at all.

They bet on the final number of votes in both votes.

In Donald's opinion, it is simply impossible to guess the final number of votes for a vote in which a hundred judicial councilors participated.
