Chapter 980: The Dust Has Settled

……

To be honest, compared to the 21% stake in Marvel Comics, Liu Dong would prefer to get $600 million in cash, of course, he also knows that this is not realistic!

"Forget it, it's all 'meat', let's put it on my plate first, in case this guy regrets it later, won't I be empty of the bamboo basket!"

With this thought in mind, Liu Dong briefly glanced at the documents a few times, then raised his head and said, "I need a lawyer to verify it!"

"Of course!" Alderson nodded.

This is also a necessary procedure before the two parties sign a gambling contract, if you don't figure out the truth or falsehood, who dares to sign the contract?

Fortunately, there is no shortage of professional lawyers in the casino, and even among the onlookers there are famous lawyers in Hong Kong and even the world, so it is very easy to verify the authenticity of this document.

"If that's okay, can we make a bet?" Alderson said.

"Of course!"

Liu Dong and Alderson, who had no objection, made a bet with each other under the witness of the lawyer of Lisboa Casino!

Seeing that a battle involving US$600 million and one of Macau's three gambling cards began again, the crowd who had just felt that the game that had been played for an hour before was not very enjoyable because of Liu Dong's silence became excited again.

This time it's much bigger than before!

"Old Qiu, who do you think will win between the two of them?"

"Don't you already have the answer in mind?" said Qiu Deba with a smile.

"So Qiu Lao is also optimistic about Liu Dong?" Li Ka-shing said meaningfully after helping his eyes.

Hear the words. Look at the outstanding young people in the field. Qiu Depua's mind involuntarily remembered the situation when the other party treated himself. "He's a miracle worker!"

Of course, not everyone is optimistic about Liu Dong, just like Fu Rong, who just got the gambling card, looking at Liu Dong's eyes is like looking at a fool.

If the other party is not a fool, how can he hand over the gambling cards that have been handed over for a mere $600 million!

Fu Rong's attitude almost represents the attitude of 90 percent of the people around him.

But Liu Dongcai doesn't care what others think, he just cares about making money for himself and taking benefits!

"You two, I wonder which of you is playing?" looked at Alderson, who was still standing on the edge of the table. Looking at Larry Walton, whose face was a little ugly and his eyes showed obvious expectation, Liu Dong asked with a smile.

"I'll do it myself this time!"

With that, Alderson strode over to the table across from Liu Dong and sat down, having long been unhappy with Larry Walton's mistakes and almost reaching their peak when he lost the last two cards. So, Alderson didn't hesitate to kick Larry Walton out!

After his eyes subtly swept over the iron-faced Larry Walton, Liu Dong smiled and sat down again.

He didn't care if the other party would be filthy because of this, anyway, the current situation was beneficial to him.

Even if Alderson's gambling skills are extraordinary. Liu Dong believes that he is definitely not as good as Larry Walton, who is ranked No. 1 in the world. And if it weren't for him, the other party wouldn't have played abnormally!

"Dealer. It's time to start!" Liu Dong greeted with a smile.

The dealer, who had already drawn all the $600 million chips to Liu Dong and placed them neatly, took out a new deck of playing cards for both sides to check, and then announced the beginning of this unexpected bigger gamble!

One minute, five minutes, half an hour, as time passed little by little, the whole situation unsurprisingly tilted towards Liu Dong!

By the time an hour had passed, Alderson had less than $10 million left in front of him!

"Mr. Alderson, how's it going?

Hearing this, he looked at the few chips in front of him, and then looked at the chips in front of the other party that were almost piled up like a hill, even if Alderson was over half a hundred years old, with a resolute mind and familiar with human feelings and worldliness, he couldn't help but feel distressed and dripping blood!

In addition to the 21% stake in Marvel Comics when he signed the gambling contract before, he pressed another $200 million in order to turn the book over!

"But now ......!"

Looking at the few chips in his hand, Alderson stared at Liu Dong with wide eyes for a while, and then suddenly closed his eyes and took a deep breath!

When he opened his eyes again, the madness in his eyes still subsided, leaving only bloodshot evidence of the other party's persistence!

"Mr. Liu, it's really a good skill, I lost this gamble!"

Hearing this, looking at Alderson, who had returned to normal, and even with a free and easy attitude, Liu Dong couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in his heart. Not everyone can restore their peace after losing $800 million in fortune!

But with this self-control beyond ordinary people, it is not surprising that the other party has become the strongest gambling tycoon in the United States.

"Agreed!" Liu Dong stood up and said.

"I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Liu in the future!"

Reluctant to stop looking at the chips in front of Liu Dong, Sheldon Alderson smiled at Liu Dong reluctantly, then turned his head and left!

After everything settled, Liu Dong turned around and looked at his smiling companions behind him, and he was also relieved!

"With this money, Emperor Entertainment City finally doesn't need me to take out any more loans!"

Thinking in his heart, Liu Dong stretched out his hand and hugged Jiang Tingting who ran over him!

Under the domination of joy, the two also forgot all their previous scruples!

But all the joy will eventually pass, after the end of the night's carnival, the next day after waking up from sleep with Jiang Tingting's soft and smooth delicate body, Liu Dong has to face a lot of headaches for him.

Although Wu Zhe, the president of Huayang Group, is responsible for the specific communication of the real estate project with Zou Renhuai, and he does not have to worry too much, but the stakes are very high, and he needs to come forward in person!

Therefore, after sending away Li Yuncong, Zhuang Wen and Lu Mingyuan's uncle and nephew, who had been playing in Hong Kong and Macao for almost two weeks, were reluctant, but they had to be at the request of their families. After returning to Jiang Tingting in the capital. Liu Dong finally got busy with his business.

Emperor Entertainment City was handed over to He Chaoqiong and Zhou Bin. plus a little superman, there is also no need for Liu Dong to worry.

Therefore, in early April 2002, he met the current chairman of the Swire Group, Shi Yadi, in the conference room of the Hong Kong branch of the Huayang Group, which had just been renovated.

Of course, the expression on that old face when he saw Liu Dong was also not very good-looking!

Liu Dong didn't care much about this, after all, he took advantage of the economic crisis to take the controlling stake in Hong Kong Swire Pacific Co., Ltd. from the other party.

The global stock market plunge that has slowly emerged from the Nadusk crisis. As well as the giants of Swire Pacific's subsidiaries affected by 9/11, the combined market value is still nearly US$12.5 billion, and with Swire's long-term investment policy, whether it is Swire Hong Kong's real estate division, or aviation and beverage divisions are all optimistic!

Such a high-quality asset was actually acquired by Liu Dong hostilely, one can imagine how bad Shi Yadi's impression of Liu Dong is.

Therefore, when the two parties have just met and have not had time to introduce each other and say hello. Shi Yadi, a stubborn British old man, still said sharply to Liu Dong: "Mr. Liu, my impression of China for a long time has been that of a world power. The country of etiquette, and the virtues of modesty, prudence, and humility in the Chinese are respected by the whole world! But why can't I see these things in you at all? Your hostile takeover of Swire Hong Kong Joint Stock Company is simply chilling!"

Shi Yadi's quick and merciless rebuke made the Huayang Group participating in this meeting instantly change their faces.

However, Liu Dong was not very angry about this, because the current situation is that he has the upper hand, and Shi Yadi's rebuke is more like the last dying struggle and the anger after having nothing to do!

"It seems that Mr. Shi Yadi really understands our Chinese culture, and it is indeed a veteran foreign company that entered China after the Opium War.

Since the other party doesn't plan to salute first and then soldier, then Liu Dong doesn't care! Anyway, when it comes to bickering, he has never been afraid of anyone!

Sure enough, Liu Dong's words fell, not only knocked down Shi Yadi's domineering, but also made his expression instantly gloomy!

"Mr. Liu, please pay attention to your words, since its establishment nearly 200 years ago, Swire Group has always been a law-abiding enterprise in that country, and attaches great importance to fulfilling its corporate social responsibility ....... ”

Regarding the other party's boastful words, Liu Dong couldn't help but scoff.

The capitalists reveal dirt and blood in every pore from head to toe, but it is not just a few lines in the book, but a profound exposure of the exploitation and plunder of the capitalists in the primitive accumulation stage, just like the foreign companies that came to China in the nineteenth century, such as Taikoo and Jardine Matheson, who did not engage in the opium trade?

"Okay, don't give me any sense of responsibility, if Swire really has any sense of responsibility, first go and apologize to the thousands of Chinese who died in the Wanxian tragedy, and then come to me to flaunt your justice and responsibility!"

Liu Dong's words instantly interrupted Shi Yadi's self-talk, and it also made the other party's expression turn blue, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

On August 29, 1926, the British Swire Pacific Company's merchant ship "Wanliu" deliberately sailed on the Yunyang River in Sichuan Province, sinking three wooden boats carrying military salaries from the Yang Sen Division, and more than 50 officers and soldiers of the Yang Department and boat people drowned, with 85,000 yuan of silver and more than 50 guns sinking to the bottom of the river.

The British ships 'Jiahe,' 'Weijing,' and 'Kirktev' opened fire on the densely populated and prosperous urban area of Wanxian for nearly three hours, firing more than 300 shells and incendiary bombs, killing and wounding thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians, and destroying more than 1,000 houses and shops, causing the 'Wanxian Massacre'.

Liu Dong, who has seen this narrative more than once in Chinese textbooks, remembers it vividly! (To be continued......
