Chapter 979: Marvel Comics

……

Liu Dong's choice was unexpected by everyone, causing an uproar, and at the same time, he had to be praised for making a choice that was most beneficial to him at the moment, almost ensuring that a gambling card was in hand.

"He really doesn't want to be a young man who is only twenty-two years old!" Looking at Liu Dong, who didn't care about what everyone around him was talking about, He Gambling King also had a little admiration in his heart, and he asked himself that when he was young, he couldn't be as free and easy as the other party, let alone the other party's calmness and self-confidence!

"It's a pity that the age difference is a bit big!" After glancing at his daughter, King He still regretted that he couldn't match the marriage between He Chaoqiong and Liu Dong!

As for the rest of his daughters, they are either too small or too big to fit at all!

Not to mention the thoughts in the heart of the gambling king, Liu Dong no longer pays attention to the duel between Larry Walton and Fu Rong all the time!

Without his interference, both of them showed all their skills, whether it was Larry Walton's unimaginable card marking ability, or Fu Rongshen's gambling inheritance's stealing stunt, which was vividly displayed in the next 40 minutes!

But in general, Fu Rong is more advantageous, although he can only replace his hole cards, but many times, a card can determine the outcome of the game.

So, forty minutes later, at the end of the five rounds, Liu Dong's chips were reduced by $5 million, but he was still in first place with 225 million, followed by Fu Rong, who only had 3 million more chips than Larry Walton!

But it was the three million that had almost taken the second gambling card in his hand.

So. At the end of the sixth round of the showdown. Fu Rong's face obviously showed a look of relief. And the people of the Fu family and the Cui family sitting in the audience also thundered at the same time.

But the face of Adelson, the owner of the Sands next to him, was almost gloomy and almost dripping, and the faces of the Macao government officials who also hoped to introduce foreign investment were not good-looking!

But in full view, they can't openly break the rules they set under their top, otherwise it will seriously threaten the credibility of the government. Moreover, Macau has a capitalist system. Even government officials can't do whatever they want.

Seeing that the card competition was about to end in five minutes, Larry Walton, who was about to miss the gambling cards, showed a clear look of anxiety on his face.

If he can't win a gamble for Sands this time, then he'll bear all of Adelson's wrath, and while not life-threatening, this time in addition to the $1 million hardship fee. He won't get a penny for the rest!

So, how could Larry Walton be willing!

Therefore, there was obviously a hint of madness in his eyes!

"Two, this game is coming to an end, but in these six rounds, we are too cautious, and there is a lot less heart-pounding fun, why don't we just let us stud in this last game?" said Larry Walton's eyes quickly swept over Liu Dong and Fu Rong.

Hearing this, Fu Rong said with a sneering look on his face: "Stud? Hmph, is it really a fool for everyone?"

At this point, just keep it as it is. It only takes a few minutes for them to get their hands on the cards, so why take any chances?

Even if this bet stipulates that each person has one chance to stud. But just because it's there doesn't mean it's going to be triggered!

Fu Rong's words made Larry Walton's face look ugly, and his heart was even more angry, but he was obviously more willing to understand Liu Dong's attitude before he got angry!

Noticing the other party's gaze, Liu Dong smiled and said, "If you can come up with another 600 million US dollars, I don't mind playing with you again after the gambling game is over!"

Although Liu Dong's assets are expanding rapidly at a balloon-like speed, the debt he also owes has reached more than 13 billion US dollars, accounting for almost half of Liu Dong's total assets without cashing out Standard Chartered shares!

Of course, this is not counting his North American business group, after all, although these assets belong to Liu Dong, they are temporarily unsightly!

Therefore, Liu Dong is very short of money now, if he can get some back from the gambling table, he is naturally very willing!

You must know that all the money ushered in in this gambling battle does not need to be taxed! This undoubtedly saved Liu Dong nearly one-third of his precious funds!

But in the face of the opportunity given by Liu Dong, Larry Walton showed hesitation on his face, not that he did not agree, but that the decision was no longer in his hands.

If you want to raise $600 million, you still need the nod of Adelson, the boss of Sands Group.

Therefore, Larry Walton naturally focused his attention on the owner of the Sands behind him, who is also the most famous gambling tycoon in the United States.

In fact, after hearing Liu Dong's words just now, Adelson had already made a decision in his heart.

The prosperity of the gambling industry is closely related to the degree of economic development, although Las Vegas is the world's gambling city, but the American economy has reached its peak, and the potential of the gambling industry has been fully developed. But Macau is a big market that is growing rapidly, because behind it is China's rapid economic growth rate of more than 10% per year.

It is conceivable that the Chinese, who are rapidly getting rich, must be the best place to gamble, and Macau, where the gambling industry is prosperous!

With a population of 1.3 billion in China, even if the wealth they create is only one percent, it is an unimaginable number, and it is an inseparable existence of Adelson.

So he firmly believes that the future of Sands is not in the United States, but in Macau!

Therefore, although 600 million US dollars can only get one opportunity to enter Macao, if he does not fight, he may forever lose the opportunity to get tens of billions or even tens of billions of dollars!

Thinking of this, Adelson's eyes became more and more determined, "Even if I lose this money, I can earn it back in a few years, but Macau will not have a fourth gambling card in the next 50 years!"

"Is what Mr. Liu just said serious?"

Looking at the tall but well-maintained white old man standing on the right hand side, Liu Dong was also a little surprised by the other party's words.

Although he said that just now, he did not hope that the other party would agree! After all, $600 million is not a small number!

But now, the other party not only agreed, but also was very happy!

"Liu ......!"

Holding down He Chaoqiong, who was about to get up and persuade her, Zhou Bin shook his head at her, "Let Xiaodong make his own decisions!"

"But in this way, isn't our gambling card in danger of losing again?" He Chaoqiong said anxiously.

"Don't worry! I've known Xiaodong for almost two years, and I've never seen him make any uncertain decisions!" Zhou Bin looked at the tall young man not far away and sighed with a little emotion.

"Brother Zhou is right, Xiaodong, this kid must be the illegitimate son of that immortal Bodhisattva, mother-of-the-, old ......!" After a 'son' finished speaking, after noticing his daughter-in-law's frowning brows, Li Yun wisely swallowed back the dirty words that had come to his lips, "Anyway, I believe that Xiaodong is right, I have never seen him lose!"

Li Yuncong's words fell, Jiang Tingting, Zhuang Wen, and Lu Mingyuan, who knew something about Liu Dong, nodded one after another.

Especially Jiang Tingting, looking at Liu Dong's eyes, there was slowly admiration and love!

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, even Li Zekai was willing to believe Liu Dong, even if He Chaoqiong opposed Liu Dong's rashness in his heart, it was not good to speak at this time!

"Alas, why bother with this? As long as we open the Imperial Entertainment City, not to mention 600 million US dollars, even 6 billion US dollars is nothing! Why take risks again!"

Not only He Chaoqiong doesn't understand, but 99% of the people around him don't understand Liu Dong's approach, this kind of thing of picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon will not be chosen as long as he is a wise person, and Liu Dong can defeat Fu Rong and Larry Walton to win the championship, obviously not a fool!

Since Liu Dong left home and started to wander in society, he has never cared about what others think of him, as long as it is beneficial to him, he will never refuse!

So he nodded directly at Adelson, "There is an idiom in China called a promise of a thousand gold, so what I say is naturally serious!"

"That's good!" Sheldon Alderson nodded, and reached out to the secretary behind him!

Soon a document was drafted, and after Sheldon Alderson signed his name, he walked up to Liu Dong and handed it to him, "This is my 21% stake in Marvel Comics, and the value of this part of the stake is about $600 million, as long as you can win, then it is yours!"

"Marvel comics?" Liu Dong, who was slightly surprised, took the document from Alderson's hand.

At the beginning, he guessed that the other party would definitely use stocks, bonds, etc. to offset the $600 million chips, after all, although the other party is worth more than 10 billion, it is more fixed assets, and there must not be so much cash in his hand!

But it's a little strange for Alderson to take out the shares of a comic company, after all, the other party is no longer young, but his clothes are drooping and old, and he is really past the age of reading comics! Of course, although Liu Dong is strange, he will not get to the bottom of it.

Who doesn't have a hobby, just as he loves antiques, maybe this Mr. Sheldon Alderson loves comics!

Of course, this is still because Liu Dong is a Chinese who does not understand the relationship between American culture, the superheroes of Marvel Comics can be said to have influenced an era in the United States, and who has their own hero dreams when they are young, just like Chinese people like martial arts, Alderson also admired superheroes in comics when he was young, and he still did not change his mind until he grew up, and even had the idea of buying Marvel Comics after making a fortune.

It's just that for some other reasons, in the end, the holding was not realized!

Now for the gambling cards in Liu Dong's hand, Alderson threw out the tasteless food in his hand and the regrettable Marvel Comics shares! (To be continued......
