Chapter 888: The Magical Nine Curved Beads

……

When I first came to the Lisboa Hotel, and when I left the Lisboa Hotel, Liu Dong's treatment was very different!

When he came, no one knew him, and even if he gambled money, he could only go to the halftime, but by the time Liu Dong swept Ma Yunfei and Li Mingchang, made a lot of 1 billion gambling money and left, he had become a star figure in all casinos in Macau, and even his reputation was spreading rapidly to the nearest Hong Kong, Taiwan, and even farther Nanyang and other places.

And this time, Liu Dong didn't have to take a car, he was directly sent to the Peninsula Hotel by helicopter from Lisboa Casino!

Compared with the improvement in treatment, Liu Dong is a little distressed with a bank card!

Gain, Macau's entertainment tax is too ruthless, and a quarter of the money he won from Ma Yunfei and Li Mingchang was used to pay the entertainment tax!

But no matter how distressed you are, you have to pay it, who called this a domestic place!

And the money was meant to be a windfall!

However, compared to the taxes paid, what made Liu Dong a little stunned was the obvious estranged attitude of Fu Kun, Zhao Lei and Zhong Liangtao, compared to Peng Yuan, who came over and chattered in his ear after the gambling game, although Fu Kun and the three of them were still enthusiastic, but the sense of distance in the enthusiasm, Liu Dong could clearly feel that he was obviously not accepted by this circle!

Although the three of them didn't mean to do so, their completely subconscious actions had already given Liu Dong this feeling!

Although Liu Dong had been prepared before, when this situation really came. He still couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But he couldn't change anything about it. Unless he gives up everything. Returning to poverty, obviously, is impossible!

……

After returning to the hotel and sending Peng Yuan away, Liu Dong sat on the sofa in the living room for a while, and then picked up the longevity lock he won from Ma Yunfei!

In addition to the money, stocks, and real estate won from Ma Yunfei and Li Mingchang, the biggest gain is the longevity lock in Liu Dong's hands!

After holding the longevity lock in his hand and turning it over briefly, Liu Dong's right hand brushed over the lock, waiting for him to spread his palm again. A silver-white dragon's eye bead had broken away from the lock and appeared in his hand.

Looking at this silver-white bead, Liu Dong's eyes couldn't help but show joy.

He didn't expect that there was such a treasure hidden on Ma Yunfei's body, under the light of the relics yuan, the yellow aura on it was not inferior to the 'Qi Sword' and 'Yaochi Holy Realm' Yushan that Liu Dong had just gotten not long ago!

However, this bead has not been found, mainly because its body has been camouflaged and brushed with a layer of 'millennium glue' on its shell!

This glue originated in the Han Dynasty, mixed with puffer fish glue, donkey glue and natural rubber, and has been used to make weapon wooden poles and battleship decks in ancient times, with very good adhesion and antiseptic effect, and has been used since the Han Dynasty. Therefore, when it was annotated in "Tiangong Kaiwu", the title of millennium glue was more and more recognized. And gradually it will be used!

If you want to remove this glue, it is not difficult, you can wash it with sulfuric acid, or hydrochloric acid, or burn it directly with fire, but considering that the bread contains priceless jewelry, Liu Dong chose a more convenient and fast relic Yuanguang to repair.

In less than two seconds, a bead the size of a dragon's eye and completely transparent glass-like appeared in Liu Dong's hand.

The beads are pure and transparent, but on the surface they are like the Big Dipper, with seven round holes the size of pinnoses!

When Liu Dong pointed the seven round holes at the light, the round holes immediately turned into seven small spotlights, and then seven yellow bands of light like mist and orchids began to wind up in the pure pearl!

Although the seven bands of light did not go in a straight line, they did not intersect with each other, and then after turning the ninth corner, the seven bands of light stopped one after another!

Then as Liu Dong shook the beads up and down, the seven yellow streamers in the beads were also shaking with his shaking, as if there was a real world in this small pearl, quite a bit of Buddhism's 'one flower, one world, ring Na Sumeru' Zen!

However, through this verification, Liu Dong also confirmed his guess that this bead was a flash in the pan in the Han Dynasty, and then disappeared in the long history of the peerless treasure - "Nine Curved Beads"!

Nine curved beads, also called colorful beads!

Of course, this jewel has nothing to do with the 'jewel piercing ants', and it has nothing to do with the allusions related to Confucius! The reason why Liu Dong knows so much about this jewel is that according to the records, the Jiuqu bead was once an accessory on the Chixiao Sword!

Liu Bang once used it to cut the white snake and chase the world, in that era, Jiuqu Zhu and He's Bi are the same treasures, but this jewel is just a flash in the pan, plus unlike He's Bi has the whitewash of the imperial power of the past dynasties, and no one has seen it since the Han Dynasty!

Later generations thought that Liu Bang took this magical jewel to be buried after his death, and then the time was too far away, and the history books described this pearl as too magical, and people even began to doubt its existence!

If it weren't for Liu Dong's possession of the Chixiao Sword and having consulted all the information about the Chixiao Sword and the ancient famous sword, I am afraid that he would not know the origin of this orb!

"If only it were daytime!" Liu Dong couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.

Legend has it that the Jiuqu bead has seven colors in the sun, and the ancients were skeptical about it, but Liu Dong knew that the sunlight did have seven colors!

"Ding Dong!"

Hearing the ringing doorbell, Liu Dong put away the Jiuqu beads with his backhand, and then said loudly: "Come in, the door is not locked!"

Soon, Zhang Fan, who was in a suit and leather shoes, quickly pushed the door and walked in!

"Chairman......!"

Looking at the excited look on the other party's face, Liu Dong smiled, "It's all known!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Fan nodded vigorously, looking at Liu Dong with admiration, his ability to make money as a small boss is too strong, he has only been in Hong Kong for a few days, and nearly 1 billion US dollars have arrived, which is faster than robbing a bank!

"Come, sit down!"

After waving his hand to signal Zhang Fan to sit down, Liu Dong asked, "How busy are you with the acquisition of Chong Hing Bank?"

"I was about to tell you about this matter, Dong Liu, now that all the shares of Chong Hing Bank in the hands of the Liao family have been received, we can privatize Chong Hing Bank at any time and then delist it!"

After nodding with satisfaction, Liu Dong said: "It's good, but don't be in a hurry to delist, it's not time yet!"

"Yes, Liu Dong!"

"By the way, did you ask you clearly about what I asked you to ask?"

"I've already asked, but the Qiu family said that Old Man Qiu Deba is not in good health and doesn't see any outsiders!" Zhang Fan hurriedly said.

Of course Qiu Deba is not in good health Liu Dong knows, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the door!

"When you go back, contact the Qiu family again, and say that I can cure Old Man Qiu's illness!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fan glanced at Liu Dong in a little surprise, but he didn't think that Liu Dong was talking about himself, maybe his little boss knew some famous doctor!

"Yes, I understand!"

"Well, there are also these transfer documents, you can help me deal with them, except for this villa in Repulse Bay, all the others will be sold!"

From the hands of Ma Yunfei and Li Mingchang, Liu Dong won 4 villas on the peninsula and Repulse Bay, and 5 other apartments! There are even more sports cars and yachts left, Liu Dong really doesn't need so many things, just leave the largest and best villa as his residence in Hong Kong, and sell the rest and use it for investment!

Although a mortgage bank loan is also a good option, at best, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, Liu Dong is really too lazy to waste energy on these trivial things!

After taking the documents in Liu Dong's hand and looking at them a few times, Zhang Fan put them away, these properties and luxury cars are very simple to deal with!

"Lao Zhang, do you know Cathay Pacific Airways?" asked Liu Dong after a slight sigh.

"Cathay Pacific, of course!"

Zhang Fan has not been in Hong Kong for a day or two, and he naturally understands the famous blue chips in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange!

"Tell me about this company!" Liu Dong said.

"Yes!"

Nodding his head, after recalling the information about Cathay Pacific in his mind, Zhang Fan said slowly: "Cathay Pacific Airways is the first airline in Hong Kong to provide civil aviation services, a member of the Swire Group, and one of the founding members of oneworld, with Hong Kong International Airport as a hub, radiating the world's large-scale private air transport group! It has more than 80 passenger planes and more than 20 cargo planes, with a total market value of nearly 50 billion Hong Kong dollars!" Recently, however, due to the September 11 pandemic, the number of passengers has plummeted, and the company's stock price has fallen by nearly half! Moreover, because the strike problem has not been resolved, at least half of Cathay Pacific's air routes have now been suspended! This is also another major factor causing Cathay Pacific's stock price to fall!

"Then do you think this airline has a future for development?" asked Liu Dong.

"Of course there is! As long as Hong Kong's economy does not suffer a big downturn, then Cathay Pacific's future will be bright! Moreover, with the development of our domestic economy, Hong Kong's ties with the mainland will only become closer and closer, and this is an emerging market that is naturally close to Cathay Pacific, which dominates Hong Kong! As long as it can set foot in the mainland, Cathay's value will increase several times or more in the shortest possible time! However, Cathay Pacific is also facing many difficulties in swallowing the mainland market!

"Tell me about the difficulties?" Liu Dong said with interest.

"First of all, Cathay Pacific is a private company, and the mainland aviation market has not yet been opened to the private sector. The second point is that Cathay Pacific is a foreign-controlled company, and judging from the situation in which the state supports Hong Kong Dragon Airlines to break Cathay Pacific's monopoly on Hong Kong, unless Cathay Pacific further improves its shareholding structure and increases the proportion of Chinese capital, it will be difficult for them to enter the mainland market! These two points are the main difficulties faced by Cathay Pacific, and the remaining problems such as funds, venues, and personnel training are relatively easier to solve!" (To be continued......
