Chapter 329: Two Tickets
While Li Shixun and Ivan were talking, the waiter had already brought all the dishes they ordered. Alice, as Ivan's assistant, did not leave, she generously sat opposite Sika and chatted quietly with Sika, which made the atmosphere not embarrassing.
Ivan picked up the wine glass, swayed the red wine in the glass, and whispered: "They gamble on mines!"
Li Shixun's heart moved, "Africa?"
"That's right!" Ivan was pleased with his quick reaction and nodded: "Copper mines, 0.01 percent of the world's share." ”
Li Shixun suddenly gasped and said, "Playing so big?"
Zero .01 percent may not sound like much, but note that Ivan is talking about the world share. How much copper resources are there in the world? The United States itself only accounts for 6 percent of the total, and this 0.01 percent is enough to make people covetous.
"It's okay, this time they are the protagonists, we are just spectators and witnesses, don't think too much. Ivan said: "This kind of gamble, even if I rarely encounter it, is very interesting, so I let you come and see it." ”
"It's really an eye-opener, thank you, Ivan! I'm now looking forward to the early arrival of the gambling game and a glimpse of both sides!" Li Shixun smiled.
Before he got the memory of the gambling king, even if he heard the news, it was just for fun. But now, perhaps under the influence of memory, when he heard Ivan say this, there was a great interest in his heart, and he had an urge to participate in it himself.
"I knew you would be interested!" Ivan laughed, satisfied with Li Shixun's reaction. Then, he began to introduce the relevant situation of this gambling game.
"There are two sides of the game. In terms of strength, there is a lot of competition in mineral discovery and mining. Because of this, they have caused a lot of contradictions. Ivan said as he ate: "If it was in the past, they would have refrained." Recently, however, a new vein has been detected near the Congo in Africa. The amount of storage is staggering, and the two families do not hesitate to fight for it. ”
"You don't always use gambling to decide the winner, right?" Li Shixun said funny.
"Of course it won't be that simple," Ivan was amused by his words, and said: "When it comes to this kind of mineral resources, it is no longer something that a family or a company can decide, there is also a game between countries, and a dual contest between politics and economics. ”
Li Shixun nodded and did not interrupt.
"This gamble was initiated by two young generations. Ivan explained: "They are all heirs in their respective families, and the energy is not small, because of the competition, there are naturally deep contradictions." ”
"In other words, this is a gambling war between the two heirs?" Li Shixun said thoughtfully: "When it comes to so many shares, I'm afraid there is also the acquiescence of the family." ”
"This is not something that we outsiders know, in short, this gamble has attracted the world's top rich, and it has attracted the attention of the predators in the mining field. Ivan sighed.
"Say so. Then Ivan, didn't you send it?" Li Shixun looked at him with a smile and said: "So many rich people gathered on your Clinton, that's quite a face-saving thing, and the bare ferry ticket will make you earn back, right?"
Speaking of this, Ivan unexpectedly did not look happy. Instead, he sighed: "It's a face-saving thing, but it's also a big trouble!"
"What?" Li Shixun asked, looking at him.
"Neither of them is good, why do you think they don't choose so many places. It's not as simple as you think," Ivan shook his head, "They want to sail into the open sea." Not only that, but they had to send people on board. Prevent accidents. ”
"I see. Li Shixun was stunned. He Ivan Famo was the owner of the ship, but now that the owner of the ship has been driven aside, it is equivalent to being requisitioned, and it is no wonder that Ivan is in such a mood. Li Shixun knows how precious Ivan is to his Clinton.
"There's no way, who makes me can't fight others? I can only pinch my nose and endure it. Ivan said self-deprecatingly. When he first got the news, he was quite happy, after all, he is a casino owner and likes to be lively, and this gambling game is still so high-profile.
He believed that after the gambling game, his gambling boat must have become famous, but later found out that the two parties were too domineering, and directly arranged people to control his gambling boat, not to mention, before his consent began to decorate, change the layout inside, it is strange that the mood can be good.
"I'm a little confused, Ivan. Li Shixun took a sip of red wine and said, "It stands to reason that with the value of the two parties, it is impossible not to have a better choice, right? Even if it is on the high seas, it does not necessarily have to be your ship?"
Li Shixun's words hit Ivan's itch, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up, and his face turned pale, "Li, what you said is to the point!"
"Tell me about it!" Li Shixun said with a smile.
"Of course they have a better choice, they can choose a secluded place, they can find a bigger boat, etc., but who do you think should choose?" Ivan laughed.
Li Shixun's face was stunned, and then he was stunned.
"It seems that you understand?" Ivan kept paying attention to his face, and suddenly said: "None of them trust anyone, so they need someone who has no contact with the two parties and is trustworthy to choose the location of the game." ”
"They chose you?" asked Li Shixun.
"That's right!" Ivan exhaled deeply and said, "Ivan's name may not be very well-known in the world, but in the Las Vegas gambling city, it still has a bit of weight!"
Although he said it lightly, Li Shixun could taste the confidence in the other party's air, which made him realize for the first time that he underestimated Ivan. Speaking of which, it was also Li Shixun's negligence, who didn't even know Ivan's identity until now, and always thought that he was the owner of the casino.
"It seems that you are not as simple as a casino owner!" Li Shixun said with a smile indifferently.
"Why isn't it simple, it's not nothing in the eyes of others?" Ivan shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about these unpleasant things, let's talk about the upcoming gamble." ”
"My ship docked at the gambling island of the [Celestial] Dynasty, and we will leave in five days. As the owner of the boat, I have the right to bring no more than thirty people on board, half of whom I have already sold at a high price, and the rest will be divided between you and you, how about it?"
Li Shixun thought about it for a while, and understood that he was taking care of himself and Sika, so he shook his head and said: "Ivan, one place is enough, Sika She needs to go to Los Angeles to attend the company's concert, and she has no time to get on the ship." ”
"Then I'm looking for someone, not necessarily a female companion. Ivan said angrily: "This is a grand event, others can't think of it, why do you have to refrain from coming here?"
"I see, thank you, Ivan!" Li Shixun said embarrassedly. (To be continued.) )
