Chapter 451: The threshold is five million
The spacious living room of the Presidential Suite on the top floor of the five-star Four Seasons Hotel on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, is like a small party, where no less than twenty people mingle freely with each other, each man in a suit and leather shoes, and his face is radiant. And women are like flowers and butterflies shuttling among men. Zheng Xudong and Miranda are among them.
"It's impossible for so many people to gamble together!" Zheng Xudong said as he looked at these people.
"Of course it can't be, it's good to have half of the people betting, some people just come to take a look, and some people like us, come with a partner, only one. Miranda smiled at him and said, "I finally know who organized this super game." ”
"Who? Do you know that?"
"Of course I know, it's the eldest sister in our supermodel circle, the legend - Cindy Crawford, I always thought that she would be married and taught at home after retirement, but I didn't expect to find such a lucrative business. Miranda said enviously.
"What is the minimum threshold for tonight's hand?"
"I asked Cindy about it, and she said the minimum threshold for tonight is $2 million, but based on past experience, there may be $5 million involved in the end. ”
"I said, Miranda, do you have five million in your card?" Zheng Xudong said as he looked at her.
Miranda didn't expect Zheng Xudong to ask so directly, it is very impolite to ask a very private question about a person's personal assets in the United States, unless it is between husband and wife, parents cannot ask about the personal assets of adult children.
After Zheng Xudong finished asking, he also felt that he might have asked this question a little abruptly, but the words were out and he couldn't take them back. In fact, he originally wanted to say that if you don't have enough money, use my money, but he is afraid of hurting Miranda's self-esteem. Therefore, the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward for a while. But in the end, he told Miranda what he meant.
After hearing this, Miranda realized that he meant well, so she gave him a blank look, "Forget it, I won't worry about you." After finishing speaking, he put his hand around his hair and said, "Let's use my money, it's enough! It's my problem if I lose all my money, but what's the matter if I lose all your money! I'll feel guilty." ”
Cindy Crawford is forty-four years old (born in 1966), and after years of working as a model and actress, she has found herself a job that suits her - organizing card games and using her strong connections to attract a large number of American elites to her in search of gambling thrills. What she offers to these upper-class people is a secret environment, which is both high-end and secret, to be precise.
At this time, she was standing on the platform on the second floor of the presidential suite, and she looked at the people below who were almost there. Dressed in a bright red evening dress and long dress, she walked down the stairs on the second floor with professional modeling steps.
After wearing high heels, he has an absolute nine-headed body height of 1.85 meters (net height 177cm), and when he comes downstairs, he looks around his territory like a lion king.
"Hey, Leon, look at your red face, try to win back all the losses that day tonight. Cindy Crawford said after a closet salute with a man as handsome as Zheng Xudong.
"Hey Matt, keep up the good work tonight and win more. ”
"Hey Steve, don't worry, I'm coming downstairs to organize the game, you go sit down first, and we'll start right away. ”
"Hey, Sophia, take out your daddy's money to play this time, your daddy won't come to me to settle accounts!"
Zheng Xudong watched this fully blooming "courtesan" shuttle between the big names with ease, and said that everyone seemed to go home with a win.
Miranda and Zheng Xudong belong to the "newcomers" in this circle, so Cindy Crawford was the last to come to the two of them, and first gave Miranda a big hug, the two "balls" on Cindy Crawford's chest were obviously bigger than Miranda, so when they hugged, they easily squeezed Miranda's two small balls away, "Miranda, you are still so young and beautiful, it really makes me jealous." Squinting at Zheng Xudong who was standing next to him, "This is the Chinese wonder boy Anton who is now on fire, welcome to my game." After speaking, he also had a big hug with Zheng Xudong, allowing Zheng Xudong to experience the "sense of oppression" brought to him by the two D-class balls. After the hug, Cindy Crawford said to Miranda, "This is your Prince Charming?"
Miranda blushed and glanced at Zheng Xudong and said, "No, he's just my ordinary friend, Cindy, you know that I don't know how to play cards, so I brought him here today to play with you on my behalf for a while." ”
Cindy Crawford hooked Zheng Xudong's chin with her finger and said charmingly: "Then, this handsome guy will win more in a while and have fun!" After speaking, he withdrew his hand and turned to leave.
Coming to the center of the hall, Cindy Crawford slapped her hands twice, focusing everyone's attention on her, seeing everyone turn around and look at herself, she seemed to find the feeling of all the spotlights hitting her when she walked the catwalk, at this time she was the focus of this room, she raised her chin and said with a radiant look:" Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the game organized by me, most of them are old friends, the rules here are known, I don't say much, don't delay everyone to play, there are more people to play today, so I decided to set the threshold for this game at five million dollars. If you want to play, please come and buy chips. ”
Sure enough, after hearing that the minimum threshold was five million, a few people left directly, but none of the people who Cindy Crawford greeted just now left.
Miranda also took out her red bank card from her handbag to buy chips, Zheng Xudong stood next to her, and the two of them stood at the end.
Miranda whispered to him the identities of the people who bought the chips, and the one standing first was the one who Cindy Crawford called him "Steve" when she greeted him just now, white, tall, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, and almost no hair, "He is Steve Ballmer, the former CEO and president of Microsoft Corporation, and the current owner of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers." In the list of billionaires in 2006, it was ranked 24th by Forbes magazine, with assets of $13.6 billion. Bill Gates alumnus and classmate. After swiping the card, a very beautiful waitress followed him to the table that had been prepared in the center of the hall with a silver plate of chips of different colors. This Steve Ballmer sat in the best seat with great momentum. Of course, there is really no one here who is higher than him.
The second is called "Leon", Zheng Xudong didn't see his face just now, but now he sees it, he knows it without being introduced by Miranda, Leonardo Wilelm DiCaprio (Leonardo Wilelm DiCaprio), the idol of almost all women of the right age in the world, killing all female animals. His idol temperament is an example for Zheng Xudong to learn. Of course, it's debatable that changing girlfriends is faster than changing clothes! He also quickly swiped his card to pay, and a beautiful woman came to the table with a tray and sat down.
The third is the beautiful woman named Sophia, seeing Zheng Xudong looking at her intently, Miranda said with some jealousy: "Hey! someone can't pull out someone's eyes on someone's little girl's breast!" Zheng Xudong scratched his head a little embarrassed, thinking to himself, "It's really a big ghost! I look younger than myself, but the scale of this chest is about to catch up with Ivanka, if I grow up, I will pay it back!"
Miranda sneered and said, "You'd better not mess with her, she has a father you can't afford to mess with." ”
"Who is her father, can still scare me, say it!" Zheng Xudong said nonchalantly.
Miranda smiled: "Anton, Sophia is just her name, I haven't said her last name yet!"
"What's the last name? Bush or Kennedy? What can they do to me?" Zheng Xudong said contemptuously.
"She's not named Bush or Kennedy, because if you mess with them, they won't take you personally, but Sophia's father was a man who was willing to do everything, including beatings. ”
"Miranda, don't sell it, let's just say it, who is her father?"
"Have you heard of Stallone? Her surname is Stallone. The word "Stallone" came out of Miranda's mouth lightly.
"Stallone, it can't be that Stallone, right?!" Zheng Xudong asked with an incredulous expression.
"It's the one you said, the one that made the famous "First Blood" series, the "Rocky" series of movies. Miranda looked at Zheng Xudong's surprised expression and pursed her lips and smiled.
"OH MY GOD, HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!HOW COULD THAT STUPID AND THICK TOUGH GUY GIVE BIRTH TO SUCH A FLOWER-LIKE GIRL, MIRANDA, ARE YOU SURE SHE IS BORN TO STALLONE, IT WON'T BE THE OLD WANG FAMILY NEXT DOOR!" Zheng Xudong said quippedly.
Miranda obviously didn't know the allusion to "Lao Wang next door", but through Zheng Xudong's words of "biological", she also guessed the meaning of this "Lao Wang" in context, she smiled even more happily, and whispered in his ear: "Then you go and ask the girl in front of you, and ask her if she is the child of the Lao Wang family you said." ”
"Forget it, don't I have nothing to do with the pump! Miranda, but this Sophia Stallone is also a model, look at her head, her long legs... When he was about to go on, he saw Miranda's cold gaze, and he knew that he couldn't praise another beauty in front of another beauty, so he stopped decisively.
"Say, why don't you say it, are you still going to talk about the breasts, the face, and the ass!" Miranda said as she pinched Zheng Xudong's arm fiercely, but it had no effect except that her hand hurt. "I'm telling you, she's two years younger than you, she's still in school, so keep you away from her and have sex with underage girls, whoever in America will put you in prison. And before you go to jail, his dad will beat you up so much that your dad won't even recognize you. Hmph, I'm scared!"
"I'm really scared, but all I'm afraid of is going to jail, as for his father, hmph, it's better not to mess with me, otherwise I'll let him know why the flowers are so red?"
"Why are the flowers so red? Is it the meaning of defeating him?! bragging!"
"Miranda, you said that if I took you down, your father wouldn't hunt me down with a kitchen knife, right?"
"Hmph, you can try!"
