Chapter 897: Repurchase of Cultural Relics (4)
After dinner and the chips were exchanged, the staff led them to the temporary gambling room converted from the office. The office is about 60 square meters, and all other furniture has been removed, except for a large rectangular table and eight chairs. Wuyang sat down on the third chair to the right hand of the dealer, and all 8 people arrived.
Look at the people at the table, some wear baseball caps and sunglasses, some have beards and sunglasses, and some are like Wuyang, only wearing sunglasses, and two wearing hoods. Wuyang thought that he was an official, and he was afraid that they would find out his identity, but they were professional gamblers, what were they afraid of. Later, I thought about it, it is necessary to cover it up, if you win money, you are afraid of revenge by others, and if you lose money, you are afraid that others will collect debts, so you don't let people know about it, and it is not a gambling king competition anyway.
The dealer spoke, "Gentlemen, I will announce the rules of the game, and if they are different from other casinos, please do what they are announced today." We're using No Limit Hold'em today. Then I explained the rules one by one.
Wuyang's eyes were fixed on the chips, and he listened very seriously. The chips are piled up on the table, the smallest is 10 million, and the least, and the sum of 20 million is only 50 million, so it is not a big pile.
The dealer unfolds the poker in front of him, shuffles the cards quickly, and then takes a small shovel and shovels a card and hands it to everyone. Two rounds of hidden cards were dealt, and then a bright card was dealt, and the first person sitting on the dealer's left hand lost a chip of 10 million, and the people behind did not speak, and the chips were lost. Losing one is to follow, and losing more is to add. It's the turn of the afternoon sun to be the sixth, and there is one in front of it, and two more in the top of the afternoon sun.
The table is big though. It's not too far away. The afternoon sun is able to see other people's hidden cards. Your own card is a King. The face cards are 3 and 5, which is very bad, and the first raise, one has a pair of queens, and the other three cards are 789 straights. Wuyang could choose to fold, but the first hand folded, which was too unlucky, so he also lost 3 chips. Followed.
I saw that the next one was a pair of sixes, but they folded.
When the second card is dealt, Wuyang gets an A, AK two cards are relatively large, if the hole card has a same, the pair is the largest, if it is QJ, it may be a big straight. Everyone followed this circle, and when he arrived at Wuyang, he directly lost two 50 million tickets. The next person saw that his card was so big that they folded. A third card is dealt. Everyone folded, and these chips in the middle belonged to Wuyang, but the amount was very small, after all, it was just the beginning.
Spread out the hole cards, everyone saw such a stinky card in the afternoon sun, and dared to bet like this, I don't know why.
The second, the dark card is worse, a 2, a 4, a card is 10, the first has been added to 50 million, he did not hesitate to lose two 50 million chips. In fact, he has long seen that the open cards and hidden cards on the table are the worst ones.
The next one has someone to follow, someone folds, to the second card dealt, the first 5 people, two follow, two plus, has reached 4 chips of 50 million, he still added 5. Dealt the fifth, a few did not fold, in fact the cards are bigger than him, but people do not know his hole cards, do not dare to rashly follow, are folded. When the cards were opened, everyone was angry, but they also knew that he was blackmailing.
In the third hand, he repeated his old trick, the cards were not good, and he fought with others, and as a result, he lost the first two winning chips.
Then I don't die, sometimes with and sometimes with folding, but it's still a blackmail trick. Everyone has mastered his style, and they are not afraid of him. As a result, by the end of the first quarter, he estimated that he had lost more than 2 billion.
When you go to the toilet to drink, eat, rest, and then deal the cards, the cards are much better. The first two cards are a pair of 9s, and the first face card is a 9, so the three cards are relatively large. The bearded man at the top got a pair of queens, a 10, and a big hand, and when someone else lost two big chips, he threw 4 cards, and by midday, he lost 8 cards. The second card, Wuyang got a 6, there are already 5 people folded, look at the cards in the dealer's hand, their next one is still 6, is Sherlock Holmes, and the first is only 3 Q with two single cards, the opposite side does not fold one, the cards on the table are 4 squares, if you do not fold, he got a spade 5, and the cards on the table make up a pair of 5.
The straight flush lost 8 chips and added 8 more, and the top one followed 16 chips and did not add anything. Seeing that the order of the cards that the dealer was about to deal had not changed, Wuyang was sure that it was Sherlock Holmes, and after following 16 cards, he added 16 more cards.
Deal the third card, take the straight flush no play, can only fold the card, the beard to see that he is three Q, and Wuyang's is only a pair of 6, a 9, certainly not compared to himself, think he is blackmailing again. After 32 followers, add 32 more.
Wuyang doesn't need to add, as long as you follow, you will open the cards, and the result is that Wuyang won more than 100 big chips. From here I also learned the experience, neither blindly cheating, nor can the bad cards fold, to let others not touch the rules, in order to have the opportunity to bring others into the cage.
This time it was two winners, their cards have been better, and they haven't hurt their vitality yet, so they should still have a chance.
The professional gamblers are in good spirits, although there is no problem at all in staying up late at noon, but they also have to perform, pretending to be sleepy. Most rounds are spent throwing a $10 million chip and folding. But he also cheated from time to time, and the success rate was quite high, and he cheated a lot of chips.
There was only half an hour left in the third quarter, and Wuyang saw that there were more chips on the table in front of him, so he wanted to win more. At the end of the second quarter, the dealer arranged for the staff to pick up two boxes of his chips. Three kinds of chips are 10 billion when they are filled into a box, and the ones that were packed up just now are all 50 million, which is definitely more than that.
Divided into a few bad cards, the face card is 2 and 4, the first card is 7, such a card can not be made up, see the dealer card, will be issued to themselves is a 6, or can be blackmailed. Look at other people's cards, there are good and bad, and you can blackmail a few of them.
The first face up card had already been added to 8 big chips, so he simply followed and added another 8 cards, and the second card was open to the fold. It was his turn to have 64 big chips. He felt. Anyway, if you lose all the chips on the table, and you still have a profit, you just go with 64 and add 64. After the third round of cards, everyone else folded, and when the cards were opened, everyone was so angry that they were screaming, the female elders of the family. They were all greeted by others. If you win, say hello.
The next round, the two hole cards are 3 and 5 spades, the first card is 4 spades, look at other people's cards, are very good, it is estimated that no one folds, and the dealer will be dealt to his own cards, is a 2 and 6, if there is a person folding. Instead of a 6, you will take the ace of spades. It's okay, it's a straight flush. Boy, here's your chance. When it was his turn, he doubled not as much, but as twice as much. People get big cards that may be straight flushes and Sherlock Holmes, and of course they are reluctant to fold. Look at the cards on the table, the 7 of spades has appeared, the possibility of taking a straight flush is extremely small, it is estimated that he is cheating again, so only one person folds, and the others have followed, and some have added. When the cards are opened, there is naturally no suspense.
A few people only had a few chips left, and the game could only be over, only ten minutes early, and there was no chance to continue exchanging chips.
After settling and receiving the money, I saw Ike waiting with a few big men, and those professional gamblers who were a little thoughtful had to make other plans. It doesn't matter if you lose money, as long as you don't ruin your reputation, you will still have a lot of opportunities in the future, there are too many people who love gambling in this world.
After getting into the car, Wuyang said, "Mr. Ike, let's transfer you some tea money." ”
Jonny pressed his finger to his lips and turned his eyes in the direction of the driver, and Wuyang understood. "Mr. Li, when your friend arrives, let's go to the airport."
Jonny's family and background are not as prominent as Ike's, but because he is a frequent visitor to Las Vegas, he may be more noticeable. He didn't want to get into trouble, he didn't want people to know that he brought the afternoon sun. Casinos don't divulge secrets, and drivers don't have to.
After getting on the plane, although Wuyang was not very tired, because something must be wrong when he got off the plane, he ate something, drank wine, and began to rest. Xie Daxia They knew that they would not quarrel with Wuyang, and their voices were still not small.
"County Magistrate Li, you won so much money, and when you get to Los Angeles, all the expenses are yours."
Li Xize said: "Why, Boss Xie, you must have won more money than me, I see that your chips are all in a box." Also, Mr. Pei's chips are several times more than mine. ”
Xie Daxia said: "Do you know how much I have lost here? I've been running here for 10 years, at least 5 times a year, at least 10 million each time, so it adds up to more than 500 million. I only won more than 800 million today, and I can only say that I don't lose or win. You used to come, at most it was a few thousand yuan, but this time you won more than 300 million, not all of them are pure profits. ”
Pei Lei said: "Hero, Nishizawa, don't fight, is it so good, the things on the plane, the hero, get off the plane, the expenses of the three of you are mine." I've been here before, and every time I lose, but last night it was really easy, and I can come whatever I want, and it's rare to get so wished. ”
The hero said: "I feel the same, is it because the afternoon sun is coming?" ”
Li Xize smiled and said, "Then don't come in the future, otherwise the real winner will be me." Boss Pei, you said that our expenses are all yours, and you can still pay for Brother Li's purchase of cultural relics and food? ”
"Aren't you raising the bar?"
Li Xize smiled and said, "Then you mean that in addition to food and cultural relics, you are responsible for the expenses?" ”
"What's the matter, more than 500 million is not enough?"
Li Xize smiled and said, "Brother Li may have tossed." Okay, let's not make trouble, Brother Li must have lost money, his spirit is not good, let's not run to the crater. ”
The afternoon sun did not sleep deeply, they all rested, and then fell asleep deeply.
The airport is between the plains and the mountains, and after the plane landed, Pei Lei pulled Wuyang to walk in front of the plane and got off the plane, walked to the two people standing in front of the welcoming crowd, and introduced: "This is Mr. Mack, this is Mr. Arthur." Mr. Mack, Mr. Arthur, this is Mr. Lai, this is Mr. Xie, this is Mr. Li. ”
Wuyang beat a drum in his heart, according to international practice, important people should be introduced first, are they more important than themselves?
After shaking hands and greeting each other, Mr. Mike introduced the eight people behind him, and Pei Lei said: "Gentlemen, Mr. Li and we are really fortunate to be greeted by you in person. ”
Because they didn't introduce the title, Wuyang heard their name for the first time, and he didn't take it too seriously. Just greet them politely.
Mr. Arthur and Mr. Mack are both young people. Arthur is tall and thin. Mike was tall and stout, and both of them were almost a head taller than Wuyang.
Mike said, "Ms. Pei, Mr. Lai, how are you going to arrange your trip?" ”
Pei Lei said: "We are guests and hosts, and everything is up to the host." ”
McHaha laughed, "Okay, let's go hunting." ”
Wuyang asked, "Hunting?" ”
Mr. Arthur said, "Mr. Lai, we are Kentuckians. Many of us like fishing and hunting, and those of us who are fanatics, invite distinguished guests to fish and hunt, which is our highest etiquette. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "Okay, I'm glad to participate." ”
"It seems that Mr. Li and we share a common hobby, so there will be no obstacles to our deals," Mike said. Mr. Lai, are you all participating? ”
Xie Jiliang said: "I don't hunt, I fish." ”
Li Xize also said: "I also fish, and it's too difficult to run away from hunting." ”
Pei Lei said, "I'll go fishing with you." ”
Mike said, "Okay. Let's go get the tools. Please get on the bus. ”
Pull Wuyang into his car, after driving. Mike said: "Mr. Li, in order to welcome you, our prize this time is a porcelain from the Ming Dynasty of your country, worth no less than 150,000 US dollars, whoever has the most prey, the porcelain is his." ”
Wuyang said: "Mr. Mike, this season should be the time for wild animals to breed, will hunting affect the reproduction of animals?" ”
"We only have a rule that we can only hunt pheasants. This pheasant was introduced from your country and belongs to an alien species, where there are no natural predators and there are too many breeders. We hunt, and hunting others is not considered a result, only red deer cannot be hunted. ”
When the car left the airport, the road was lined with rice paddies and then swamps, and soon you could see the mountains. After a short rest in a villa, Mr. Mack gave Xie Daxia their fishing rods, Wuyang hunting tools, bullets, and a full set of equipment such as backpacks, hunting suits, boots, and cowboy hats. Wuyang picked up the hunting gear and took aim, and became familiar with the methods of loading and retracting the shell, and the group set off.
After walking a few kilometers, the car was stopped, and 11 people lined up two kilometers wide and walked forward. It is a swampy land backed by mountains, but there is basically no water, only thick meadows, and occasionally a mesa several meters high. Wuyang was placed on the side closest to the mountain forest, and Arthur said, "Mr. Li, you will not be trapped in the mud if you go this way, but you must prevent the attack of the horned eagle, and you can't take off your hat." ”
Wuyang knew that the eagle was an eagle, but he didn't know the horned eagle, and since wearing a cowboy hat could prevent it from attacking, there was no need to ask too much.
Everyone walked forward with hunting gear, and from time to time pheasants and turkeys were frightened away, and no one beat the turkeys, and the pheasants were beaten. There were also pheasants that were frightened in front of Wuyang, but he was not used to firing with hunting gear, and he didn't hit twice, and finally hit the third time. Follow the example of others, pick up the pheasant dripping with blood and put it in the backpack. Look at others, they also hit less and flew away more.
After hitting a few times, it was gone, just picked up a pheasant, heard the sound of flapping wings in the bushes in front of me, and looked closer, it was an eagle, with a few long hairs on its head, it looked like the horns of cattle and sheep, and it was estimated that it was a horned eagle. The horned eagle's wings spread out, the blood stains were already black, and it was estimated that the injury had been for a long time. When he got closer, he saw that one of the bones of the horned eagle's wings had been broken, and only some flesh and skin were still attached. Seeing him in front of him, the horned eagle flapped its wings, but it had no strength.
His true qi used to be able to repair wounds, but now that he has upgraded, can he repair the bones, just try it, this bone can be seen. Grab the horned eagle, press it to the ground with one knee, don't let it move, dock the wings with both hands, and then enter the true qi. Arthur was calling him, but he was afraid of frightening the horned eagle, so he didn't answer.
The bones healed at a very fast pace, and the flesh healed quickly, and he let go of his knees, but the horned eagle still did not move, probably because he had no strength. There was a pheasant at hand, so he cut the pheasant, cut a piece of meat to the beak of the horned eagle, the horned eagle immediately opened its mouth to eat, and then cut, and then eat, and soon a pheasant of more than 3 catties was left, and those colorful chicken feathers were left.
At this time, Arthur came over, saw the horned eagle on the ground, and asked, "Is it a mistake?" ”
After the afternoon sun passed, Arthur said, "The horned eagle is a very intelligent bird, you can take it as a pet." ”
Wuyang smiled and said: "It belongs to the mountains and forests, let it stay in the mountains and forests." ”
Arthur said: "This look, even if you stay, it is likely to be eaten by a bobcat, if you want to save it, you still have to take it away, and when it can fly, let it go." Seeing that the afternoon sun did not move, Arthur said: "Mr. Li, this thing can only be done by you, I am afraid, and I have only hit a pheasant." ”
"Okay, you go, I'll take it with me in my backpack."
The horned eagle is relatively large, there are 8 or 9 kilograms, and the backpack is even larger, and there are already 7 pheasants in it, and then put it into the horned eagle, it is still very loose.
Continue to hunt, a sound, the horned eagle will flutter a few times, after two hours, Wuyang felt that the power of fluttering is very great, maybe it can fly, so he took it out. After taking it out, the trouble will come. It is not enough to scratch its wings like a chicken, or to scratch its neck like a duck, but to grab its legs and flutter its wings desperately. It's good to have it on your arm, but you can't hunt, and it's not good to hunt on your shoulder, so just let it stand on top of your head, anyway, it's a cowboy hat pad, which is good, and it's good to hunt with a hawk.
When he sat down to eat dry food and drink water, he put it down, cut another pheasant and fed it, and ate another one.
At this time, two big guys ran out of the woods, and seeing that they had antlers, they should be red deer. Red deer are not afraid of people, they graze near Wuyang, and Wuyang wants to touch them, so they walk away a little. Wuyang estimated that there were 3 or 400 kilograms of red deer, so he thought, if you buy some red deer of this size and raise them back, there will be more venison and big skin, and if they are stocked in the hunting grounds of Lanjiang, where there are many grasses and leaves, and the place is big enough, maybe it will be a good industry.
When he got up, he felt that there were enough pheasants in his backpack, so he stopped hunting, put the horned eagle on his arm, and went after Arthur and them.
When they arrived at the side of the road, there were already a few people who came around to see the horned eagle, the horned eagle was afraid of people, flapped its wings and took off, and actually flew up, hovering overhead for a while, and then flew away.
"It's a pity." A man named Matthew said. "Mr. Li, you should take the horned eagle back to raise it. It's a great hunting helper. ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "It's too far away, I can't take it." Mr. Matthew, can you buy red deer here? I'd love to buy some and take them home. ”
Matthew said, "You can't catch red deer here. A few decades ago, the red deer here became extinct, then imported from Canada, and after decades of breeding, there are now more than 10,000 more. Red deer are not just a species, they are also important to the forest. ”
"Why?"
"Although the root system of the shrub is not deep, it can absorb all the nutrients in the topsoil, and the tree grows slowly with only water. They eat shrubs, inhibiting their growth and allowing them to absorb nutrients. Mr. Lai, if you really like it, I can help you contact the Canadian side and sell you some. (To be continued......)
