Chapter 525: Gambling Fight

readx;??? ps: Thank you for the great reward, 10,000 times, and Feiyang, and thank you for the monthly pass!

Wu Di glanced at the sturdy boss, turned his head and asked softly:

"Uncle Wen, where is the thing?"

Wen Yaru pointed to the wall of the gallery behind him and whispered:

"That one should be a ...... from Monet's "Blue Water Lilies" series"

Monet? The Monet, who claims to be one of the most important French painters and one of the representatives and founders of Impressionism? His "Blue Water Lilies" series is worth just over $5 million?

Wu Di's eyes narrowed, if this is a genuine work, then its current price should be 20 million, right? He glanced at the boss who seemed to be full of face, how do you think this guy is a treacherous villain, he would dispose of a genuine painting of Monet at such a low price? And, is it still such an iconic piece?

"Twelve million! I'm out of 12 million! Congratulations, boy, you have succeeded in provoking me, so I will bid against you on behalf of the Tsuruta family. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A middle-aged man in formal clothes with a rigid face walked out of the crowd opposite, and as soon as his words came out, the thin old man and the young people who had just spoken disrespectfully couldn't help but turn pale, and they all bowed respectfully, and then retreated behind him without saying a word.

Wu Di didn't speak, he slowly paced to the wall of the gallery, stared at the "Blue Lotus", looked at it carefully for a while, turned around and smiled:

"The Tsuruta family? Hehe, I haven't heard of it, and besides, 12 million doesn't seem to be a very competitive price, right? ”

The middle-aged man's eyes slowly narrowed, as if he was a panther that had encountered its prey, staring at Wu Di deadly, bursting out with a palpitating light.

"Well, you've heard about it this time."

Wu Di shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly and said:

"Well, although I came late, but I also figured out the ins and outs of the matter, it stands to reason that both parties look at the same work at the same time, and it is fair to decide the ownership through bidding. But is this auction really fair? I think we're going to fight like this. In the end, it should be this unscrupulous boss who takes advantage, right? Mr. Tsuruda, I don't want to be fooled, and I don't think you want to let people hide and have fun like this, do you? ”

Tsuruda's eyebrows raised,

"So, you're ready to give up? Hehe, the Chinese are hypocritical, obviously they don't have the strength, but they still want to save face......"

"Alas......"

Wu Di let out a long sigh, some people really ...... It's really self-righteous and people have nothing to say! This kind of person. Should he be called stupid? Or is it arrogance?

"Mr. Tsuruda, who is not hypocritical, as a gentleman, don't you even have the patience to listen to what others have to say? As I said, I don't want to let others take advantage. However, I didn't say I was going to give up the painting. ”

Tsuruta said an expressionless "hehe" twice,

"If you don't give up, you can't get a higher price. Dear gentleman, I really don't know what you want to say, but. Whatever you say, please hurry up, knowing that my time is precious. ”

Wu Di nodded,

"Okay, then I'll be blunt, you want this painting, you should be going to use it for the Antique Betting Competition, right? If so, why don't we use betting to decide who the painting belongs to? My opinion is that at the current price, no matter who pays for it, it will be fine, and then, how about we play it? Doing so, regardless of the final result, will at least not cheapen others. ”

The corners of Tsuruta's mouth grinned, and when he heard Wu Di's proposal, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, play? You actually want to play with the famous gambling family of the Japanese Empire, the Tsuruta family? Oh my God, what a young man who doesn't know the height of the sky! Well, for the sake of you trying so hard to help the Tsuruta family make money, I'll give you a chance. Poor young man, I guess after this time, you will really remember our Tsuruta family!

He turned around and glanced at the people behind him who were smiling strangely, and said in a deep voice:

"Very good, this offer is good, I have no opinion. Ichiro, go buy this painting, and then you and this gentleman have a good time. ”

A young man with a proud face walked out of the crowd, he glanced at Wu Di out of the corner of his eye, and then walked into the gallery with a sneer,

"Boss, please check this check, by the way, can you do me a favor?"

The boss took the check with a smile and picked up the phone at the counter.

"Say, sir, it's my pleasure to be of your service."

The young man who was called Ichiro by Tsuruta turned around and glanced at Wu Di, who was still standing at the door of the store, and said loudly:

"I'd like to ask the boss to check this gentleman's cheque by the way, and you know, the credibility of people in certain countries doesn't seem to be so reassuring all along......"

The boss laughed, yes, it was because of this young man that his paintings only sold for 12 million, but it seems that it was also because of this young man that his paintings were sold for 12 million, so whether to thank him or blame him, this is really a problem!

Wu Di smiled and shook his head, for the sake of you being going to send me money later, let's make you proud for a while! He walked into the store, calmly found a chair and sat down, wrote a check for 12 million casually, handed it over, and read it casually.

Ichiro Tsuruta frowned slightly, it seems, this guy is quite rich? Do you want to find a way to win more later?

"Okay, it's okay with both checks, so, the painting?"

Ichiro Tsuruta pulled over a chair, sat opposite Wu Di with a big grin, and smiled proudly,

"Wrap it up and bring it over. This gentleman, excuse me, how do you want to play? ”

Wu Di glanced at the fat man with a nervous face beside him, shook his head, and said with a smile:

"The conditions here are simple, and it is not suitable for too complicated play, or else, take a poker out, the two of us draw one, the card is the one who wins, the bet is this check and that painting, a hand will win or lose." How is it? ”

The corners of Tsuruta Ichiro's mouth twitched slightly, and a contemptuous smile flashed,

"No problem, boss, do you have any cards here?"

The boss shook his head with a smile,

"I don't have one here, but old Karn next door is a gambler, so why don't I lend you one for both?"

"No, we have it here!"

Then. There was a shout from outside the door, and several young men with colorful hair walked in, and one of them smiled and patted the boss on the shoulder,

"Uncle Schneider, big business, huh?"

The boss's face sank,

"You bastards, why are you here again?"

The young man looked at him in surprise, turned his head and said exaggeratedly to the young people behind him:

"You see, dear Uncle Schneider is angry. He seems to have forgotten about the painting he was from ......"

"Alright, alright, let's get the cards out quickly, these two guests' time is very precious!"

Schneider interrupted the young man rudely.

"No, no. We can't take part in such a big gamble, but you can't let your poor nephew Neuer provide a deck of cards for nothing, can you? To know ......"

Schneider muttered a curse. He took out a hundred euros and handed it over, and the young man whistled flirtatiously, took the money and kissed it affectionately.

"Klaus, give them the cards!"

Immediately, he bent down and said to Wu Di and Tsuruta Ichiro with a smile:

"Dear two gentlemen, I have a small proposal, I don't know ...... two"

Wu Di stiffened his face and didn't speak, listening to the meaning of this guy's words just now, this painting seems to have been received by Schneider from them, and judging by their actions, it shouldn't be a good thing, so, the origin of this painting......

Ichiro Tsuruta obviously didn't expect to encounter this superb either, he frowned, reached out and made a gesture of please.

"Oh roar, I think so, in order to ensure the fairness and justice of the gambling game, neither of them should let their people shuffle the cards, right? Then, let the most honest Neuer serve the two! He is very good at playing cards, and his skill in shuffling cards is amazing, and the two of them only need to pay a small tip......"

The middle-aged man who had been standing behind Ichiro Tsuruta took out a hundred-dollar euro with a look of disgust and threw it on the table, and said impatiently:

"Let's get started."

Neuer didn't shuffle the cards, but looked at Wu Di with a smile, Wu Di shook his head helplessly, and also took out a hundred euros and threw it on the table.

Neuer smiled, opened the card box quickly with a pair of hands, shuffled the poker several times in a blink of an eye, and then smiled and put the cards on the table, and picked up the two euros.

"Look, this is the income of Neuer's labor, Uncle Schneider, remember to inform us of such good things in the future."

Tsuruta Ichiro glanced at Wu Di and said:

"So, how do we decide who strikes first?"

Wu Di was about to speak, when the sparrow suddenly said:

"One deck of cards is not enough, it's better to add another deck."

Add another pair? Wu Di was shocked in his heart, and he would have realized it in an instant, yes, carelessly, if it was just a deck of cards, and he let Tsuruta Ichiro draw first, in case he was lucky and drew the biggest ace of spades, wouldn't he lose?

He let out a soft breath and looked at Neuer, who whistled and took out another deck of pokers, tossing them up and down in his hand. Schneider smiled bitterly and handed over a hundred-dollar bill,

"Neuer, I hope you don't come to my shop in the future......"

Neuer laughed as he flaunted his fancy shuffling skills, and uncharacteristically didn't speak.

"Well, it doesn't seem to matter who strikes first this time, it's just, what if we tie?"

Ichiro Tsuruta asked with his hand hovering over the cards, leaning forward, and smiling.

"It's very simple, keep drawing, and keep drawing until you decide the winner!" (To be continued.) )
