CHAPTER XXIV

Silva is a very important guest of honor at the Lisboa Casino. Portugal is the world's largest exporter of cork, and Silva's family, as Portugal's largest producer of cork, almost monopolizes the industry, so you can imagine how rich his family is; Because Macau was once a Portuguese colony, his family has a good relationship with Macau in all aspects, and Silva often comes to Macau to play.

This time, he was going to attend the auction that will be held in Hong Kong by Duta Vide Auction House, but because the family business has some things to do in Macau, he just happened to stop by in advance. He is in his fifties, as the patriarch of the family, it can be said that he wants to enjoy or have any ideas, and he can basically achieve it with his family's financial resources, but that's it, he doesn't have any other bad habits, he just likes to gamble and enjoy the excitement in the process.

Every time he comes to Lisboa to play, he will say it in advance, and many people who are about the same status as him also like this entertainment project, but people like them will make an appointment with each other in advance, and the third floor of the casino is also specially prepared for these people. But this time Silva came more suddenly, without notifying the casino in advance, which also made it difficult for the casino to temporarily help him arrange such a game, so he had to say that he was temporarily looking for a few people to make up such a game, of course, even if he was temporarily looking for it, it was impossible to say that he couldn't be on the table; Silva has no opinion on the arrangement of the casino, because his purpose is to enjoy this entertainment, and it is not to show off his wealth, it is good to have someone to accompany him, and even he himself proposed to find a private room at will, and he did not say that he went to the third floor, because he also knew that the third floor could go up itself as a status symbol, not many people could play there, and it was difficult to find a few such people suddenly, and he didn't want the casino to be difficult, and he didn't want to play.

When Li Hai received a notice to let him contact this gambling game, he had an idea when he saw Zhang Han in front of him, and it should be a good note to let the young man in front of him participate, one is that if Zhang Han goes, it will not be the money of the casino that he is lucky to continue to win or lose, and then they will definitely not play small, if Zhang Han can't play, he will naturally retreat, and he should not continue to play in the casino at that time; Afraid that Zhang Han would not agree, he saw that Zhang Han agreed so easily, he was naturally very happy, and at the same time he was smiling in his heart, Zhang Han was young and vigorous.

After knowing that the casino had been arranged, Silva also quickly appeared in the private room, as well as a wealthy businessman from Taiwan and a wealthy man from Macau. Zhang Han naturally didn't have any opinions on who came to play, but the few people present saw such a young Zhang Han, which made Silva feel a little surprised, they naturally didn't know what Li Hai thought at the beginning, and they felt that since the casino could arrange Zhang Han to come, they would definitely be able to play if they wanted to see him, and it should be the son of the rich family, because they didn't think about it, and the surprise they just saw quickly subsided.

"Let's just play some simple Texas Hold'em for the four of us." After a few people had sat down, Silva spoke first. Zhang Han saw that the other two people did not object, so he agreed; Although he doesn't play very often, he still knows the rules of playing cards.

After a few rounds, Zhang Han obviously felt that the other three people were veterans, both in terms of card skills and grasp of the game were much stronger than themselves, if it wasn't for their luck, they would definitely lose more and win less.

The smallest chip at the table was 10,000 pieces, and after a few rounds, Silva felt that there was no excitement at all, and it was not nice to say that he didn't feel anything when he lost every stud game, so he was a bit boring to play like this.

"Otherwise, let's raise our chips, otherwise it's really not interesting to go on like this."

Listening to Silva's opinion, Zhang Jiajue, as a local tycoon in Macau, was afraid of losing face, so he nodded and agreed without saying anything, while Liu Dong from Taiwan thought about it and said to Zhang Han first: "You Chinese people are cautious a lot of the time, do you dare to play like this?" ”

At this point, Zhang Han also felt that he was almost having fun; People who can come to this private room to play are naturally not bad for money, this he knows, it is estimated that after the chips are raised, he will play very big, he is here for entertainment, and he thinks it is not necessary to play so big, he is retiring thinking like this, but when he hears Liu Dong from Taiwan say this, he will be unhappy, Huaxia? Probably you're not? Who are you mocking? Zhang Han, who was thinking so in his heart, smiled coldly at Liu Dong.

"Please, please help me exchange 20 million dollars in chips." As he spoke, Zhang Han gestured to the waiter next to him, and took out a checkbook from the bag he was carrying.

Seeing the checkbook that Zhang Han took out, everyone present was stunned, this is a bearer checkbook of a Swiss bank, and the holder can overdraft the limit of 500 million US dollars; Of course, banks are not stupid, there are very strict regulations for the issuance of such checkbooks, first of all, the bank will confirm that the holder has the financial ability, and secondly, there are issues such as creditworthiness, anyway, the relevant procedures are very complicated, and there are not many people in the world who hold them.

said to Liu Dong before that Zhang Han's behavior was tantamount to a slap in the face, and Liu Dong couldn't say a word for a long time; Looking at Zhang Han, who had a bad face, he now regretted why he mocked him before? But at this time, if he didn't play, it would be even more embarrassing, so he also exchanged chips with Zhang Jiajue and the waiter.

To say that Zhang Han was most surprised by Li Hai, who presided over the card game, he didn't expect to find such a big fish from the hall on the first floor, he didn't expect this mainland boy to be so low-key, and he didn't even see it because of his clumsiness, but at this time he was only happy for the wise decision he made.

Soon the chips were redeemed, and a new round of gambling began. At this time, the smallest chips on the table are one million, and Silva's momentum has also been raised, for such a big gamble, several other people naturally do not dare to take it lightly, their attention is very focused, and they keep counting the cards in their hearts, and the time of each game has also increased because of more thinking time, but this does not affect the flow of chips on the table, you must know that now each game wins and loses more than all the previous sentences add up to more chips.

Affected by Liu Dong's ridicule, Zhang Han is completely two people in terms of momentum compared to before, not because he is nervous when he has more money, but because he just wants to give Liu Dong a good look now! Perhaps because of this, Zhang Han's luck began to be a little unstoppable, he won the most on the table, Silva and Zhang Jiajue were a little better, but Liu Dong lost miserably, after changing the chips, he only won one game, and most of the time he lost again, and now he has a few chips left in front of him.

Li Hai issued another card, and after Zhang Han saw it, he directly pushed out all the chips in front of him.

"I'm stud."

Seeing Zhang Han like this, and then looked at the cards in his hand, Silva and Zhang Jiajue both chose to fold, and Liu Dong turned over his cards in frustration after hesitating for a long time.

"Mr. Liu, if you want to continue, do you need to exchange some more chips?" Zhang Han looked at the few chips left in front of Liu Dong and said jokingly.

Liu Dong was already fat, although the temperature of the air conditioner in the room was very comfortable, but he was also sweating now because of irritability, and he loosened his neckline at a gesture.

"Lao Tzu is not short of money, give me another 10 million chips, hurry up!"

Because he lost a lot, Liu Dong, who was a little anxious, was not so good in tone, and he was a little angry.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Han smiled disdainfully; Soon, the service staff gave Liu Dong chips again. But although Liu Dong was in a hurry, after changing the chips again, the situation did not change, and bad luck continued to accompany him.

Li Hai looked at Zhang Han's cards on the table as all hearts A, King, and J; Silva's card is three eights; Liu Dong's cards are all three nines; And Zhang Jiajue folded early.

"Now you are the biggest on the board, Mr. Liu, please bet."

I'm the youngest house, and Silva can't beat me even if it's the same house, and that cold card is at most a flush card, and it can't be big for me. Thinking so, Liu Dong resolutely opened and said: "10 million." With that, he pushed the chips out.

Seeing this, Silva shook her head and folded.

"I'll give you 10 million."

Zhang Han's choice was surprised by Liu Dong's sneaky smile, and everyone else felt that Zhang Han was a little irrational, maybe he felt that he was angry with Liu Dong if he won, right? But it's not necessary, is it? Isn't this giving money?

Li Hai continued to split after seeing Zhang Han also bet, and then a dramatic scene occurred on the card table, Li Hai gave Zhang Han a red heart Q, and Liu Dong a 9.

"Mr. Zhang, you are the biggest on the board now, please place a bet." Although Li Hai looked at the cards on the table and felt a little godly, he still performed his duties very professionally.

"I'm studing!"

Seeing Zhang Han push out the chips in front of him, the people in the private room were shocked, you must know that it was nearly 400 million chips, plus the bets added by the other three people before, and now there are more than 500 million chips on the table, such a gamble is almost never seen in a big casino like Lisboa.

Zhang Han's behavior made Liu Dong a little bit no, now he can get the biggest card is four, and Zhang Han can get the royal flush at most, but he can get a random card is four, and Zhang Han as long as he gets not Q is his own win, he is weak to take so much money to scare me, so I dare not follow? Still is... After struggling for a long time, Liu Dong didn't speak.

"Mr. Liu, are you still with me?" After waiting for a long time and not seeing Liu Dong's reaction, Li Hai asked.

"What is urging? I'm thinking! ”

After Liu Dong said unceremoniously, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'll follow!" I don't believe you can get a Q! ”

After hearing Liu Dong say this, the service staff came forward to count the chips pushed out by Zhang Han, and the results were soon available.

"Mr. Zhang's chips are a total of 423 million."

Hearing this number, Liu Dong felt that his heart almost didn't jump out of his mouth, but the words had already come out, and he couldn't take it back.

"You don't have enough chips, how are you going to pay for them?"

Looking at Zhang Han, who was still calm in front of him, Liu Dong, who had a trace of abnormal flush on his face, gritted his teeth and said, "I will transfer money directly to the casino through the bank!" Soon the casino confirmed Liu Dong's transfer information.

After getting the information confirmed, Li Hai was ready to start dealing cards, at this time he felt that his hands were a little shaky, to know that the last two cards dealt determined the ownership of 1 billion bets.

Got the card issued by Li Hai, Liu Dong turned it over directly, because this card had no effect on the game, and Zhang Han took one of his own cards, buckled it on the card that Li Hai just issued to him, and got it in front of his eyes and slowly rubbed it. The eyes of the people in the entire private room were focused on Zhang Han's hands, because of the tense atmosphere, everyone in the room felt that even their breathing was stagnant, and the room was silent.

Looking at the cards that were finally rolled out in his hand, Zhang Han smiled slightly and threw the cards in his hand onto the table

"I'm sorry, I won!"

Looking at the bright red red heart Q, Liu Dong's face suddenly turned like ashes. Losing such a large sum of money is really nerve-wracking for him.

"Mr. Zhang, please provide your bank account number, and we will transfer money to you immediately." Li Hai was also very excited to see such a big gamble, and the tone of his voice changed a little.

Zhang Han didn't say that he was in a hurry to respond to Li Hai, but looked at Liu Dong and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for being so generous, I don't know if you still play?" ”

At this time, Liu Dong was still immersed in failure, and he couldn't help but shake his head subconsciously.

"Oh, it seems that as you said, the Chinese people are indeed cautious."

Hearing Zhang Han so mocking, Liu Dong, who finally came to his senses and became angry, didn't say a word, didn't say hello to the others, and left the room directly, and glanced at Zhang Han fiercely before leaving.

Seeing that there were still three people left, Silva also realized that this game could not go on, but he was able to participate in such a big gamble, he had a lot of fun, and when he saw Liu Dong leaving, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's the end of it?" Very exciting! Although Zhang Jiajue also lost some money, he also agreed with this opinion.

Because Zhang Han's decisiveness and atmosphere won Silva's favor, coupled with Zhang Han's ability reflected in the check, before leaving, Silva expressed considerable friendliness to Zhang Han, and even asked for Zhang Han's contact information, so as to have the opportunity to call Zhang Han to gamble again; Zhang Han gladly accepted Silva's friendliness, but if he wants to talk about gambling, it is estimated that he will have to look at the situation at that time, there is a good saying that "small gambling pleasure and big gambling hurt the body", although Zhang Han won a huge amount of money, but he just regarded this as a form of entertainment, and this kind of entertainment is not what he likes, but he still feels very happy to teach people like Liu Dong a lesson.
