Qi Tianyuan, a French-born Chinese businessman who is proficient in English and French, and who is generous and well-dressed, has been staying in this 'Peace Hotel' since its opening.

As one of the first customers to stay at the Peace Hotel. For Jonathan, it was quite impressive.

And this Qi Tianyuan, who used to be in Europe, directly chartered a high-end room on the tenth floor of the 'Peace Hotel'. And a pack is a year.

For Jonathan, who has spent millions of dollars in a few years, Qi Tianyuan, who is like a playboy and has a humorous demeanor, is very appetizing to him. And faintly. Jonathan can also feel that Qi Tianyuan, who is cynical in appearance, is definitely a man with a story.

Jonathan and Qi Tianyuan, who can often talk together, have now called each other by their names.

"Hey.. Even.. The Japanese soldiers who were won by you yesterday are ready to seek revenge on you today... Is there enough bullet belt? If you don't have enough bullets, I can back you up a bit." Jonathan patted Qi Tianyuan's muscular shoulder and smiled.

While patting Qi Tianyuan's shoulder, Jonathan smiled and said, "How did you exercise with this body?" I've only seen your size in my boss's bodyguards... It's also a Chinese like you.. They are all proficient in martial arts... Do you know martial arts? Very powerful fighting skills.. It's no problem to hit ten with one.."

Chen Zhen, who was named Qi Tianyuan, sneered, "One to ten? Is it really that powerful? What if you're good now? to the battlefield. Isn't it solved with a single bullet? ”

For Chen Tianqi, Red Queen. Windsor admires Jonathan incomparably, and Aiya and Wu also fall in love with Oriental culture. After all, the main member of the Chen consortium. But they are all Chinese. in California. But no white person dares to look down on the Chinese.

Waving his hand, Jonathan smiled and said, "Words can't be said like that.. In the absence of weapons, who is skilled. Naturally who wins.. What's more, he has extraordinary skills. In conjunction with the firearm.. to the battlefield. One against a hundred is no problem.. Among the people I know. Our boss's bodyguard captain, Mr. Zhang Bo, has such strength. When I was in Egypt. We're less than 500 people. Directly killed nearly 10,000 cavalry.."

While chatting, Jonathan and Qi Tianyuan took the elevator to the VIP room of the casino on the fifth floor.

Under Jonathan's plan, the first floor of this 'Peace Hotel' is the hotel lobby, and the second floor is a café and bar. The third floor is a nightclub. The fourth and fifth floors are all casinos. Above the fifth floor are the guest rooms.

Of course, the smallest chips in the fourth-floor casino are also ten oceans to start. And to the casino on the fifth floor. The smallest chips may take a hundred oceans to redeem. And the limit on the table is not capped.

For several days in a row, in the VIP room of the casino on the fifth floor of the 'Peace Hotel', there were often outbreaks of winning and losing a game of more than 100,000 oceans. For a time, the nightclubs and casinos of the 'Peace Hotel' have become the benchmark for people with status in the whole of Shanghai and even the whole of China.

Businessmen who come to Shanghai from all over Europe to do business, if anyone says that they don't know about the existence of the 'Peace Hotel'. Then it will be absolutely despised.

In the No. 1 VIP box, there were already more than a dozen people seated. There are representatives of warlords from all over China in suits and leather shoes. There were also Japanese soldiers who wore military uniforms and had the rank of lieutenant on their shoulders. There was also a Frenchman, a German, and an American Jew.

Counting Qi Tianyuan, who walked in with Jonathan, this upcoming gamble will definitely be very exciting.

As the general manager of this 'Peace Hotel'. Jonathan, on a whim, is in the dealer's position tonight. Prepare to make a cameo appearance as a dealer to deal cards to everyone.

Taking off his blazer and rolling up his sleeves with a cigar in his mouth, Jonathan opened his mouth and said, "Gentlemen.. Tonight was another beautiful night, and of course it was an exciting time to follow... The old rule is that the minimum chip is a hundred oceans. There is no cap! What do you want to play? ”

As soon as Jonathan's voice fell, the man was wearing a Japanese military uniform. The Japanese officer, who had the rank of Nakasa on his shoulder, laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Jonathan's boss, Mr. Chen, is an American. Case.. Then we will follow the American play... What about Texas Hold'em? ”

Saying that, he glanced at Qi Tianyuan very provocatively, and sneered, "Chinese Yankee, Texas Hold'em.. Do you understand? And did you bring enough chips tonight? ”

Qi Tianyuan, who was holding a cigar, shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "It's better than some... Who lost all their chips yesterday and walked out in ashes? Don't even have the money to take a rickshaw, right? ”

Hearing Qi Tianyuan's sarcasm, the Japanese Nakasa immediately slapped the table. The adjutant who accompanied him also put his hand on the pistol at his waist. There is a posture of putting the gun when you don't agree with the word.

Last night, Qi Tianyuan slaughtered all sides at the gambling table and won more than 300,000 oceans. It has already been circulated, and then everyone sits, who is not a person with status? And the most despised people at the table are those who can't afford to lose.

Seeing that the Japanese Nakasa was so domineering, the Frenchman, German, and American Jew at the gambling table all frowned slightly. However, seeing that this Japanese Nakasa was not aimed at him, he ignored it. After all, nowadays, the Japanese army has made frequent military moves in China. The garrison was also increasing daily. Everyone will not offend this Japanese Nakasa for the sake of a person who has no friendship.

can be the master, seeing this Japanese Nakasa so domineering. The first one to hang up was Jonathan. While skillfully shuffling the cards. Jonathan said in a deep voice, "Nakasa Kojima, this is the 'Peace Hotel'!" Enter here and you're our guests. We welcome every guest. However, unruly guests are not welcomed. Even you, the Japanese Consul General, must abide by the rules of our Peace Hotel! ”

As soon as the voice fell, more than two dozen people were wearing black suits. The 'Peace Hotel' bodyguard with a Thomson submachine gun pushed the door in.

Although there was no standard for the Japanese adjutant who was ready to carry a gun. But everyone can see that as long as Jonathan gives the order. The Japanese adjutant who tried to hold a gun in this gambling hall would definitely be beaten into a sieve.

This is, and the gamblers who sat down again looked at the Japanese soldier Nakazo with a gloomy face. I saw that the Japanese officer, who was called Kojima Nakasa by Jonathan, turned around and slapped the adjutant behind him in the face.

'Smack...'

With a loud crisp sound, a dark red slap mark was left on the face of the Japanese adjutant, which everyone could see. This slap is absolutely solid.

"Yaga! Who told you to put the gun!! If you don't understand the rules like this, you can apologize! Kojima Nakasa cursed fiercely.

In the belief in militarism, the spirit of bushido. The Japanese emperor will be mythical in the Japanese army. Although sometimes there is a situation of the gram on the gram, in the vast majority of cases. Lower-level officers do not hesitate to obey their direct superiors.

I saw that the Japanese adjutant who was beaten didn't care about the pain on his face, and hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Hi.. The subordinates got it.."

After teaching his subordinates, Kojima Nakasa smiled at Jonathan as if he had nothing to do, "Mr. Jonathan.. I'm sorry. There are no rules under him.. Is the game ready to start? ”

Jonathan shrugged and smiled, "Of course.." As he spoke, he looked at Qi Tianyuan, who was very close to him, and asked in a low voice, "Qi.. Do you know the rules of Texas Hold'em? If you don't understand... I can explain it again.."

Qi Tianyuan smiled at Jonathan, who was helping him out, and said, "I played for a while when I was in Europe. Let's get started.."

As the game began, the Japanese soldier Nakasa got the cards. Without looking, he threw twenty chips.

One chip is worth a hundred oceans, and twenty chips are two thousand oceans.

Many gamblers at the table have begun to frown when they see their hands. Only Qi Tianyuan also did not look at the cards. Twenty chips are directly launched.

glared fiercely at Qi Tianyuan, who was deliberately on the same bar with him, the smile on Kojima Nakasa's face remained unchanged, and he smiled at Jonathan, who was about to continue dealing, "Mr. Jonathan, I heard that the arms company under your boss's command is building a super warship for the U.S. military. In fact, we in the Great Japanese Military are also very interested.. I wonder if Mr. Jonathan can help us with this? If you can: Mr. Jonathan will be our best friend in the Great Japanese Empire! For friends... We will never be stingy."

For Kojima Nakasa's such a straightforward wooing at this table, Jonathan smiled disdainfully. Jonathan knew that he was the manager of the Peace Hotel. But the lofty Chen Tianqi is the real owner of this 'Peace Hotel'. In just a few years, Jonathan, who has built millions of dollars, will not lose a big deal because of a small one.

"Hahahaha.. Nakasa Kojima is joking, right? Here, there are the most beautiful girls. There are the best wines. And the most exciting games! Why talk about those boring things.. If your country's military is interested, you can go directly to my boss to talk.. I'm just a little person. You can't do this kind of big thing! Jonathan laughed.

"You can't say that. . . Mr. Jonathan's sister, Ms. Evelyn, is the Queen of Popularity. Personal assistant to the Grand Duke of Windsor. How can you be unknown? Or is Mr. Jonathan unwilling to help us in the Great Japanese Empire? Kojima Nakasa said in a deep voice.

Jonathan smiled disdainfully at the other party's threat. "It's still the same sentence. Came here to have fun. If Nakasa Kojima wants to talk about business... I'm afraid I'm in the wrong place. If Nakasa Kojima didn't have the heart to gamble... Please get out! ”

As he spoke, Jonathan pulled a revolver from his waist and slapped it on the table. He said to himself: "When I was in Egypt with Mr. Chen and His Royal Highness the Duke... I killed a lot of Egyptian cavalry with this gun."

In a solemn atmosphere, Kojima Nakasa couldn't help but smile, "Really? Didn't expect Mr. Jonathan to go to the battlefield? I didn't say what I just said. Hurry up and deal the cards. ”

After a rather depressing gamble, Nakasa Kojima, who was high-profile and domineering, became the biggest loser, and the biggest winner was the German. And Qi Tianyuan also won about 30,000 oceans.

Standing on the balcony of his office, Jonathan holds a glass of whiskey. Qi Tianyuan, who had one hand in his pocket, also stood aside with a glass of whiskey.

'Ding..' He clinked his glass and took a sip of the whiskey in his glass. Jonathan looked at the night of the Huangpu River and smiled, "Damn the Japanese." How dare you come here to make trouble? Hum.. If it's in the United States. My boss definitely let him go out sideways.. Looking at it like this, I guess we're going to have to fight."

Chen Zhen, who came back from Europe under the pseudonym Qi Tianyuan. How can I not know the status of the Chen consortium in the United States and even in Europe as a whole. The U.S. military is the largest arms supplier, and its industries involve all walks of life and are all over Europe. Chen Tianqi's three words, for the Chinese in Europe. Who doesn't know? What's more, Chen Tianqi followed the red queen. Windsor, the beloved daughter of George V, was engaged to a dowry of 100 tons of gold. And that wedding of the century. Every overseas Chinese is impressed.

"Are you talking about the European battlefield or the Asian theater? If it's Asia: The war in China has never stopped. Although Shanghai Tang is a song and dance, it is a place outside of Shanghai Tang. Not really... By the way, what did Japanese Nakasa want you to help with just now? It seems that he is a man who can afford to pay... You're not tempted? Qi Tianyuan asked with a knock on the side.

Jonathan shrugged his shoulders and smiled, disdainfully, "Willing to pay? How much can you give? $100,000 or $1,000,000? When I was in Paris and London, I spent $7.4 million in less than five years. If you don't believe me, you can ask. Now in London's most luxurious red light district, who wouldn't know my name as Jonathan when it comes to it? Those Japanese elves... I heard that a battleship 'Yamato' was built. And the new warships made by the military industrial enterprises under the command of my boss seem to be specially restrained by the battleship 'Yamato'. What do these Japanese dwarfs think I don't know? It's stupid enough... The sea is so wide, the bigger the ship is built. Isn't it easier to get hit? It's just a live target.. Ignore them. Even.. Being idle now is also idle. How about your story? I think your life in Europe must be wonderful... Looks like you must have fought in the First World War."

Qi Tianyuan, who wanted to befriend Jonathan and get a sophisticated weapon, smiled helplessly, "How can your days be wonderful.. It's just a rain of bullets. I often don't have enough to eat.. Sometimes I don't know where the bullets will come from. will end his own life.."
