"Of course we continue!"

David. Einhorn threw the chips in his hand into the middle of the court and said lightly, "Since this is the case, then we will keep a low profile for a while in the future." By the way, Mr. Zhong, what happened in the gold market recently, did you do it? ”

Hearing his words, the others couldn't help but prick up their ears, and although everyone was focused on the game again, they were still full of curiosity about what had happened in the gold market recently.

Alberto. Although Antonio didn't understand what they were talking about, he still knew the words "European", so the more he listened to the conversation between Zhong Shi and the others, the more heavy his face became, and he almost couldn't help but leave the table when he heard this.

Although one of the most well-known mafia bigwigs in the eastern United States, Alberto. Antonio knows very well that there are many things in this world that he cannot afford to mess with. If nothing else, just keeping an eye on their FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and IRS (Federal Revenue Service) every day is enough for him to be anxious.

And now these people sitting in front of him, what they say in their words are confrontations at the national level, and he doesn't even dare to think about this kind of thing. Alberto. Antonio now regrets it in his heart, and he can't wait to leave immediately. But he also knew very well that if he left the scene now, I am afraid that several people here would have opinions about him, and in this case he had to listen hard.

finally the topic diverted to another aspect, which made him secretly relieved.

"What, have you been injured by mistake?"

Zhong Shi flipped through his hole cards and asked seemingly nonchalantly, "Didn't I tell you that I was going to do something in the gold market?" ”

"Nope!"

Einhorn shook his head in denial, "I'm glad I got your reminder." Therefore, Greenlight Capital did not set foot in the gold market, and luckily escaped the catastrophe. But then again, Mr. Chung, how did you know that the Spanish government would announce a fiscal deficit growth at that time? ”

"Here we go again!"

Alberto. Antonio sighed and grumbled in his heart, "You daring fellows. Don't you know how to converge a little? Always talking about the government and the country, it's about to scare my heart out. ”

Naturally, the conversation between Zhong Shi and others would not have developed as he had hoped.

"The Spanish Parliament's annual financial review is usually at that time."

Zhong Shi threw chips into the floor and explained lightly, "As for the deficit ratio, it is basically conceivable that it will not be a number that will satisfy the market, but it is really surprising to this extent." I was going to be. Even if the Spanish government's figures are unsatisfactory, I will do everything in my power to suppress the price of gold and cause absolute panic in the market. However, both Germany and Spain did not publish satisfactory figures, so I saved a lot of effort. ”

“……”

Hearing his fluttering words, everyone gasped in unison, and they were speechless for each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes.

You know, if it causes a collapse like the one in the gold market on February 3. At least tens of billions of dollars are needed, and it is necessary to keep an eye out for the bulls' counterattack. Because there is no support from external news, there is a high probability that this unilateral and strong suppression of the market will be targeted by others, and once exposed, the consequences are almost unimaginable.

It can be said that none of the people present except Zhong Shi had such courage.

"Huh. I'm in! ”

Just when everyone was silent, Paulson was heard laughing twice, touching his chin and saying proudly, "Our fund has absorbed a lot of chips from the market in the two most panicked days. It is estimated that there are as many as twenty or thirty thousand lots. ”

Of all the people present, Paulson and Bell Stone followed the most. Although everyone knew this, they never expected that Paulson would dare to set foot in the gold market at this time, after all, the chaos of those days was beyond their cognition and tolerance.

"Three aces, is anyone bigger than me?"

While everyone was still pondering, Zhong Shi opened his hole cards, an ace of spades and a 5 of diamonds, which happened to form a three of a kind with two aces of the five hole cards.

In Texas Hold'em rules, "three of a kind" is a fairly large hand, and because there are two aces in the community card, the appearance of "snake" and "flush" has been eliminated, so if it is possible to be bigger than the bellstone, it is just a "full house", that is, three cards of the same kind plus a pair of cards of the same value.

Seeing that Zhong Shi got such a card, and it was the biggest card in the "three of a kind", the others chose to give up after looking at their hole cards. Zhong Shi smiled at that moment and smiled the chips on the table into his arms.

Now that they have come to the casino, and the business has been almost discussed, everyone's mood has gradually relaxed, and they have begun to devote themselves to the game seriously.

Several of them were masters of calculations, as well as masters of psychological warfare, and it didn't take long for them to get familiar with the rules, and they were playing well. Although Texas Hold'em is a game of great chance, with the addition of factors such as probability and memory, the odds and losers gradually begin to tilt between several players.

Three hours later, playing nearly twenty back and forth, Alberto. Antonio was the first to go out, and although he was an out-and-out master of gambling, his little bit of morality was still not enough in front of these mathematically savvy people.

Immediately after, Jim. Chanos and Ray. Dario also lost all his chips. The two smiled bitterly at each other and left the gambling game helplessly.

Of the three, Dario's exit was a bit dramatic. When he got the "flush", he chose "stud" (all-in), and unfortunately Paulson got the "straight" in this hand, and he was about to wipe out his chips.

By this time, there were only three people left on the table, Bell Stone, Paulson, and David. Einhorn. Needless to say, Jongshi made a decent bet every time, and no matter what kind of cards he was dealt, he always had a blank face, making it impossible to guess any useful information through his expressions. Einhorn's Greenlight Capital is a quantitative fund, and he himself is a master of playing cards. Each bet has to be hesitant for a long time, obviously calculating the probability of winning in the end, so it's not surprising to save it until the end. Paulson, on the other hand, was a bit of a surprise.

Either way, Paulson won't survive to the end, because he's not a math master. Second, his style of playing cards is very aggressive, similar to his style of operation, and if he is not careful, he is in danger of total collapse. But luckily, instead of collapsing, he won more and more, and he currently has the most chips in front of him of the three.

"The end?"

Looking at his watch, Zhong Shi pushed the mountain of chips in front of him forward, "This game is over?" ”

Hearing him say this, Alberto, who was watching the game. Antonio couldn't help but shake his body. The pile of red, green, and green chips was at least worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the other party didn't even brow when they pushed it out, obviously they didn't care much about these numbers. To know this number, even if it is himself, all "studs" have to hesitate for a long time.

But the next moment, there was another scene that surprised him.

"Good!"

I saw Paulson and Einhorn also without the slightest hesitation, and directly pushed out all the chips in front of them. According to Alberto's estimates, Paulson's chips were worth more than a million dollars. And Einhorn's chips are also around half a million dollars.

"These guys, what a ......"

I racked my brain and thought about it for a long time. Alberto. Antonio found a fitting word, "Luxury!" ”

Alberto. Regardless of Antonio's feelings for the time being, the three of them began the final battle of wits after the "stud", because the three of them chose to come out of the nest, so the dealer Ackerman did not make the usual inquiries. Five community cards were dealt directly.

The five community cards are: 8 of hearts, king of hearts, 3 of spades, ace of diamonds, and 10 of clubs.

"I lost!"

Ackerman's hand hadn't left the table yet. Zhong Shi threw the hole card to the center of the field, and said helplessly, "Gentlemen, this is yours!" ”

In the process, he didn't even look at his hole cards.

"What?"

"How is this possible?"

The real gambling has just had a little atmosphere, but Zhong Shi, as one of the protagonists, chose to give up, which made insiders and onlookers feel a little baffled. What made them even more puzzled was that Zhong Shi actually judged that he "lost" without looking at the hole cards.

"Don't think about it anymore?"

Paulson was also surprised, but he honestly guarded his position, and after looking at the hole cards, he asked Zhong Shi, "At least look at the hole cards, right?" ”

"No need!"

At this time, Zhong Shi had completely relaxed, and after taking a big bite of brandy, he looked at Paulson with a smile, "John, you also lost!" ”

"What?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized that a little doubt that existed before disappeared without a trace, and it turned out that Zhong Shi chose to admit defeat when he knew his cards. But whether this is true or false has aroused everyone's curiosity.

"I don't know if he's right or wrong, but according to my calculations, my probability of winning is 48.9 percent, Chung is 30.8 percent, and Paulson is 20.3 percent."

Einhorn, one of the parties, said expressionlessly, "It is basically consistent with Mr. Zhong's judgment." ”

"Really?"

Paulson's face turned blue and red, and he hesitated for a long time before gritting his teeth and throwing out the hole cards in his hand, "I don't believe it!" ”

A 3 of hearts and a 5 of diamonds make up only two identical cards.

"You've lost!"

Einhorn gently turned over his hole cards, an 8 of spades and a 10 of hearts, which could form two identical cards, and either one was far higher than Paulson's.

"It's true?"

Paulson lay back in a dejected state, as if drained of his strength, and his whole face immediately collapsed, and he kept muttering to himself, "How is this possible?" How is this possible? ”

After a while, he suddenly remembered something, straightened up suddenly, and grabbed Zhong Shi's arm with both hands, "Mr. Zhong, what the hell is going on?" Could it be that you have the ability to predict the future? ”

He was barely able to accept Einhorn's explanation. But he was confused about Zhong Shi's statement. Not only him, but also other onlookers couldn't figure it out.

"A 4 of diamonds, a queen of spades."

Taking advantage of this time, Einhorn turned over Bellstone's hole cards, and sure enough, it was a hand that made up nothing, and the highest card was only an ace of diamonds.

"What the hell is going on?"

It wasn't just Paulson, everyone was shocked by the result.

"It's easy!"

Zhong Shi smiled and pointed to his head, "From the very beginning of the game, I began to memorize the various orders of this deck. After so many rounds, I basically know what cards will be dealt, and I am already confident! ”

"What?"

Zhong Shi's words shocked everyone again, and Paulson couldn't wait to ask, "You mean, after every shuffle, you know the order of the cards?" Unforgettable? ”

"Almost!"

Zhong Shi waved his hand, "You haven't noticed, every time Ackerman shuffles the cards, the method is the same, as long as you remember the order of the cards, and then analyze it a little, you can probably know the order of this deck of cards." ”

As he spoke, he spread out his deck of cards and drew one seemingly randomly, "This is the Ace of Hearts, right?" ”

Everyone was stunned, because what he had in his hand was indeed an ace of hearts! (To be continued.) )
