Chapter 1052: Underground Casino
After Chen Yi left Pinmingzhai, he put on his hat and got into a taxi to go to the exhibition center, and the taxi driver, when he learned that he wanted to go to the exhibition center, also reminded him kindly, and now because of Chen Yi's calligraphy exhibition, the traffic situation near the exhibition center is not very good.
Hearing the taxi driver's reminder, Chen Yi was full of emotion, it seems that in a society where interests are paramount, everyone is looking for peace in their hearts, and the peace in his calligraphy is exactly what these people want.
Sitting in a taxi, when he came to the vicinity of the exhibition center, he saw the traffic jam, and when he was still some distance from the exhibition center, he paid the bill and got out of the car, and then walked towards the exhibition center.
On the way to the exhibition center, he could see some people walking briskly towards the exhibition center, and similarly, he often heard the sound of calligraphy.
Coming to the exhibition center, Chen Yi showed a look of surprise on his face, and there was a long queue in the entire exhibition center hall, densely packed with people, at least thousands of people, and there were many security personnel next to him who were responsible for maintaining order.
From the expectations on these people's faces and the constant discussions, it is clear that all of them came to see the exhibition of still character calligraphy.
Chen Yi pressed his hat down a little, and under the escort of some staff, he entered the workshop in the exhibition hall.
Due to the increase in the number of visitors, this still character calligraphy was placed alone in the largest exhibition hall of the exhibition center, and Rao was unable to catch up with the number of people who came to line up to see it.
At this time. Fan Lao, Yuan Lao and others are resting in the workshop. I saw Chen Yi coming in with a hat on. They were suddenly a little surprised, "Brother Chen, didn't you go to participate in the tea ceremony competition, why didn't you come back in less than an hour, don't tell me that you brushed it down in the first round." Fan Lao said jokingly.
"Haha, if Xiaoyi is brushed down, then everyone else basically won't have to play, including the owner of that Pinmingzhai." Then. Boss Yuan said with a smile that they were very confident in Chen Yi's tea-making level.
Chen Yi smiled, "The boss of that tea restaurant let me go directly to the top ten, and I promised him, so I came back ......." Saying that, Chen Yi will tell Fan Lao and Yuan Lao and others what happened in Pinmingzhai.
Hearing Chen Yi's narration, Fan Lao snorted coldly, "Even the boss of the broken tea restaurant dares to be so scheming." I really don't know how thick the sky is, Brother Chen. You did the right thing, take him by surprise, and when it comes time to compete with him, you must not be polite and let him know that the level of tea ceremony that he thinks is very great is actually not as good as a finger of yours. ”
"The boss is estimated to be shooting himself in the foot now, if Xiao Yi competes in his teahouse, he will definitely attract many people, but he pretends to be smart, but now he has missed this opportunity." Yuan Lao shook his head and smiled, talking about the thoughtful Cheng Dù, he, a person who has been in the collecting circle all the year round, feels that he is not as good as Chen Yi, the owner of a teahouse in a small island country, and dares to play tricks with Chen Yi.
"Fan Lao, it is related to the culture of the Chinese tea ceremony, how can I be merciful, I want these small island people to know that the Chinese tea ceremony and the small island country tea ceremony are also not the same level." Chen Yi said with a smile, he has no good impression of Hideo Watanabe, the owner of this tea restaurant.
"Directly into the top ten, this also saves a lot of time, Brother Chen, I believe you have also seen the situation in the exhibition hall outside, your still character calligraphy, very popular, from your still character calligraphy creation, you have stepped into the ranks of calligraphy masters, whether it is your fame, or your calligraphy level, can already be called modern calligraphy masters, even from the ancient calligraphy masters are getting closer and closer."
Fan Lao said to Chen Yi with emotion that these things that happened in the small island country were completely unexpected by them, and at the same time, they had been longing for a long time, and Chinese calligraphy was famous all over the world.
"Ancient calligraphy masters, the reason why they are called masters, partly because of their fame, partly, because there are many people to learn their calligraphy, Xiaoyi, I believe that since then, there will be many people to learn your calligraphy." Yuan Lao said to Chen Yi with a smile.
Chen Yi smiled slightly, "Old Yuan, I learned calligraphy, the original intention of creating a new calligraphy style is just to integrate my feelings into it, as for how many people will learn my calligraphy, I don't particularly care, of course, if some people are willing to learn, I will not be stingy, I will take out my calligraphy for them to visit and copy." ”
"Haha, I really envy these young generations, many calligraphers have always copied the calligraphy of the ancients when learning calligraphy, some are just calligraphy, and can not see the authentic handwriting, and these ancients have long passed away, even if there are some doubts about calligraphy, it is not possible to get the answer of the author himself, but now, it is different, someone wants to learn your calligraphy, you can get a lot of convenience." Fan said with a smile, full of hope for the younger generation and the future of Chinese calligraphy.
The reason is very simple, they have Chen Yi, with this calligrapher who is comparable to a master, this is more important than anything else, just from now, Chen Yi has shown his importance in calligraphy, and the calligraphy he writes surpasses some ancient calligraphy masters.
"Hehe, Lao Fan, as the saying goes, live to learn all the time, if you are really envious, you can also learn Xiaoyi's calligraphy, I believe Xiaoyi will fulfill the responsibility of a teacher and teach you with heart." Hearing Fan Lao's words, Yuan Lao smiled and joked.
"Haha, Lao Yuan, don't be unconvinced, Brother Chen's calligraphy is indeed worth learning, why don't we apprentice together." Fan Lao also laughed out loud and retorted unceremoniously.
Chen Yi hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, you two elders are fighting, don't pull it on me." ”
As time passed, in the afternoon, Chen Yi appeared in the Pinmingzhai Teahouse and indicated that he was going to participate in the competition, which appeared in everyone's sight, making everyone a little incredulous.
A world-famous calligrapher, to participate in the tea ceremony competition, this is really unreasonable, in the news, Chen Yi's self-confidence, so that many people have a guess in their hearts, is Chen Yi's tea ceremony level, is it really high.
The two TV stations broadcast the conversation between Chen Yi and Hideo Watanabe, and Chen Yi directly agreed to Hideo Watanabe's words, which made many people laugh a little, although there was no expression of Hideo Watanabe on TV, they could imagine it just by thinking about it.
In the end, the picture of Chen Yi leaving in a chic manner made many people admire it, and it would never be possible for them to be as simple as Chen Yi.
On major art forums and news websites, some people exposed the hidden scheming in Watanabe's words, which made many people more supportive of Chen Yi's direct agreement.
Chen Yi participated in the tea ceremony competition to make a name for himself, but this Watanabe Hideo still had to play some scheming, which was simply self-inflicted.
Many people are looking forward to the showdown between Chen Yi and Hideo Watanabe a few days later, to see who can win, a young man and an old man with decades of experience in the tea ceremony.
In the underground casino of the small island country, there is also a handicap between Chen Yi and Hideo Watanabe, among them, Chen Yi's odds are very large, far exceeding Hideo Watanabe.
Although Chen Yi is very famous, after all, most of his fame comes from calligraphy or painting, and has nothing to do with the tea ceremony, and Watanabe Hideo, who is the owner of the famous teahouse in the eastern capital of the small island country, has decades of experience in the tea ceremony, and definitely has a better chance of winning than Chen Yi.
Fan Lao is also a friend of Tongguò, and he got the number of underground casinos, and couldn't help but smile and said to Chen Yi: "Brother Chen, you are in the underground casino, but you are not favored, your odds have reached one to five, and this Watanabe Hideo is one to five, I believe that as time goes by, your odds will be higher and higher, and Watanabe Hideo's will be lower and lower, I have put my own private money on you, you must come on." ”
"Haha, like Lao Fan, I put my private money up, if we lose, we will go bankrupt." Yuan Lao also said with a smile, how could they not want the opportunity to give money for nothing.
After hearing the words of Fan Lao and the others, Chen Yi showed a smile on his face, "Oh, one to five, I don't know what the strength of this underground casino is, and what is the upper limit of the bet that can be accepted." ”
"I've heard from a friend that this is one of the best underground casinos in the island country, but I still need to ask how many bets I can accept, wait a minute." Fan Lao immediately took out the phone, dialed his friend's number, and then said with a smile: "My friend said that this casino can accept bets of at least hundreds of millions of yuan. ”
"Oh, I see." Chen Yi nodded, and did not directly choose to bet on Fan Lao's friend.
Fan Lao suddenly smiled, "Brother Chen, if you are interested, you can also place bets, with your strength, this is not for nothing." ”
"Fan Lao, you don't have to worry about this, I'll bet." Chen Yi smiled, and after saying goodbye to Fan Lao and the others, he dialed Xiao Shenghua's phone.
Although with his current fame, the underground casino does not dare to make any moves, but he still needs to be cautious, and it is undoubtedly the safest way to place bets through Xiao Shenghua.
Xiao Shenghua's business network covers Southeast Asia, and other countries around the world, and in small island countries, there are also some industries.
He doesn't have much affection for the small island nation, and now that this underground casino has sent him money, he can't do without it. (To be continued......)
