Chapter 191: The Gambling Stone (I)
As the power of the Cao family continued to expand, and it also continued to encroach on the people of the Bai family and the Xue family, the head of the Bai family and the head of the Xue family reached an alliance, and the two complemented each other and joined forces to resist Cao.
Since then, these three families have formed a three-legged trend, and the two families have joined forces to finally be evenly matched with the Cao family and reach a balanced trend.
"I see......" Merlin nodded thoughtfully.
Ye Xiaoyue continued: "It's not that simple, do you think that the Cao family is so willing to maintain this balance, the three families have been fighting petty things all these years, and a book of thirty-six plans is about to be broken by these three families, just to break this balance." ”
"No, the Cao family has new attention, they plan to cultivate the fourth great family and unite with their Cao family, so that they can threaten the Bai family and the Xue family."
"The construction of the Chengbei Resort in Yaozhou City this time is the property that the Cao family is fighting for for the fourth great family that has not yet been born, and the head of the Bai family has a far-reaching vision, and has long seen this, and has taken this right from the Cao family at all costs."
Mo Lin nodded slightly, Ye Xiaoyue said it so lightly, but everyone knew that it was not so easy at all, and whoever was in charge of the house in this situation had a headache.
"Who is the fourth great family that the Cao family intends to cultivate?" Morin asked casually.
"It's the young man in a suit standing behind Cao Zijie just now, his name is Sun Ming, and he is the future successor of the Sun family." Ye Xiaoyue said: "This Sun family is only a second-rate family, not much stronger than our Ye family, but people are alive and well, last year the second lady of their family married into the Cao family, which can be regarded as a marriage." ”
"What are you talking about?"
While the two were talking, Bai Hongyi slowly walked over from a distance and asked.
"It's nothing, just talking about the affairs of your three major families." Ye Xiaoyue said truthfully.
"Hey, what's there to say about this, it's just some deceitful and mercenary." Bai Hongyi sighed and said, "Seriously, I feel tired at the thought of having to fight to the death with Cao Zijie when I am in charge in the future, that guy is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
Mo Lin said suspiciously: "The Cao family is such a big family, there must be a lot of descendants in the family, why are you so sure that Cao Zijie will become the head of the Cao family in the future?" ”
"You don't know this person, this Cao Zijie is a well-known figure in our circle, not to mention his outstanding ability, he is also ruthless in his work, even his own brother died under him." Bai Hongyi sighed and said.
Mo Lin couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Bai Hongyi's words, what kind of person was he who refused to let go of his own brother.
However, if you think about it, it is said that the family relationship of the great family is very weak, and the struggle for power itself is a life-and-death struggle, if Cao Zijie is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand in front of Bai Hongyi now.
"Hey, let's not mention this, let's go get something to eat, it's almost time to finish eating." Bai Hongyi stretched his waist and said casually.
Subsequently, Bai Hongyi took them to a five-star restaurant outside the antique street, and without even looking at the dishes, he said directly to the waiter: "Serve nine portions of your signature dishes!" ”
The people who can come here to spend are either rich or powerful. The waiter didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to prepare the food.
After a while, a table of dishes was served, nine dishes, four meats and four vegetables plus a soup, all of these dishes are precious dishes, and a plate alone may cost hundreds.
"Hey, money fan, you haven't eaten any of these dishes!" Ye Xiaoyue couldn't help but joke when he looked at Mo Lin's greedy look.
Mo Lin laughed twice, he still has the eyesight to price these dishes, and he doesn't need to ask that this table will be close to 10,000 yuan.
In his case, even if he used the money to buy a few pairs of expensive sneakers, he wouldn't use them to eat.
"These dishes are all cheap, and when the evening comes, you will see what is really expensive." Bai Hongyi said with a smile.
"At night?" Ye Xiaoyue asked suspiciously, "Aren't we going to go to the Galaxy Garden to see the rough stone in the afternoon?" Staying in any place is basically a day, and there is no time to eat. ”
"No, this rough auction is relatively large, and the rich people in our province will basically go to join in the fun, so there is a dinner party in the evening." Bai Hongyi said lightly. br>
"Oh, I see
Such. Ye Xiaoyue nodded and said.
"Alas, when it comes to this rough stone, I feel a little annoyed." Bai Hongyi seemed to remember something, and his face showed a trace of sorrow.
"Yo, what can bother us Bai Dashao, do you mind saying it and letting my brother give you ideas?" Ye Xiaoyue said with a smile.
"There's nothing that can't be said about this, it's just this rough auction, last time, and last time, the rough stone products in our Bai family's bet are not very good, and it can be said that we have lost a lot."
"The jade I took to process this time is still half a year ago, hey, I don't know if my luck can be better this time."
"Bai Shao looks away, as the so-called thirty years of Hedong, thirty years of Hexi, people's luck can't be so bad all the time." Mo Lin looked at Bai Hongyi and said.
"Let's hope so......"
The three of them chatted while eating, and before they knew it, it was past noon.
Bai Hongyi saw that the time was almost up, so he called the waiter, took out a black VIP card, handed it to him and said, "Check out!" ”
The waiter nodded slightly, then left quickly, and returned Bai Hongyi's card after a while.
Mo Lin said suspiciously: "What kind of card is this, don't you need to enter the password?" ”
"Haha, the dumplings are filled!" Ye Xiaoyue said with a smile: "This is the supreme VIP card of their store, there is no money in this card at all, but the name information of the cardholder is registered, and there is no need to pay at all with this card." ”
"Damn, there is still this kind of operation." Mo Lin couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, he really didn't expect Bai Hongyi's card to be able to eat and drink for nothing here.
Ye Xiaoyue looked at Mo Lin's surprised look a little funny, he took out a yellow card casually, and said, "Look, I also have this kind of card." ”
"You're ......"
Mo Lin took the card and looked at it casually, Ye Xiaoyue's card was exactly the same as Bai Hongyi's except for the color.
"Don't look at it, my card can't be compared to him, it's just a gold member, and I can only get a discount for spending here." Ye Xiaoyue glanced at Mo Lin.
"Well, you're really rich......"
Galaxy Residence is a high-end clubhouse, and all kinds of large-scale entertainment measures can be said to have everything.
Generally, people who come to this kind of place are either rich or expensive, and the entrance is full of luxury cars.
Mo Lin took Bai Hongyi's car to the door of the Galaxy Garden, and at a glance, the lights were shining and magnificent, and many people were wearing suits and formal clothes to enter and exit the Galaxy Garden. These people also seem to belong to the upper class.
It was Morin, who was wearing a white T-shirt and black sweatpants, and looked out of place here.
"Brother Lin." Ye Xiaoyue's voice sounded behind him.
As soon as Mo Lin turned around, Ye Xiaoyue threw over a packaging bag, he quickly caught it, and when he looked closely, it contained a suit.
Ye Xiaoyue said: "It's definitely inappropriate for the two of us to dress like this on this occasion, let's find a place to change our clothes." ”
Maureen nodded, after all, this was the first time he had come into contact with a suit, and he didn't know if he would look good in it.
Under the leadership of Bai Hongyi, they smoothly entered the door of the Galaxy Huating Club.
There are four security guards guarding the gate, and it is not difficult to tell from their straight standing posture that they used to be soldiers.
These security guards looked at Mo Lin with a strange look, maybe his clothes were too shabby, but they followed Bai Hongyi Bai Dashao, who didn't know Bai Hongyi's reputation, so no one dared to stop Mo Lin.
Mo Lin naturally noticed the eyes of these security guards, and he felt uncomfortable when he saw it, he thought to himself, when this matter is over, he will never come here again, he doesn't like this kind of occasion, and he doesn't like to deal with these rich and powerful people.
As soon as they entered, Mo Lin and Ye Xiaoyue went to the bathroom to change their clothes.
"Heh, I didn't see that Brother Morin, you look good in this suit." Bai Hongyi said with a smile when he saw Mo Lin walking out in a suit.
"Good...... Is it good-looking? How I feel weird. Morin said with some embarrassment.
"It's the first time you've worn a suit, I used to think so, but I don't think so anymore when I get used to it." Ye Xiaoyue also said with a smile.
Afterwards, Bai Hongyi took them to the center of the club
Sixth floor.
As soon as the elevator opened, Morin was greeted by pieces of rough stones of various sizes, and almost every one of them had a staff member standing in front of it.
It is said that this batch of rough stones was jointly organized by the Cao family and the Bai family, and almost half of the huge venue was placed with rough stones, and many jewelry and jade dealers and people who were interested in gambling stones looked carefully around these rough stones.
Jewelry and jade account for a lot of the Bai family's business, so Bai Hongyi attached great importance to this gambling stone, and said hello to Mo Lin and Ye Xiaoyue and followed the others to watch.
Mo Lin is not interested in gambling stones, and he has no capital to gamble, the cheapest rough stone here is priced at 100,000 yuan, where did he get so much money? And with a price tag of 100,000 yuan, what kind of rough stone of good quality can be opened?
The gambling stone itself is a big gamble, with mixed luck and eyesight, if you are lucky, you will get rich overnight, and if you are unlucky, you will go bankrupt overnight.
At this time, Mo Lin saw a bunch of people talking about a super large rough stone, and he immediately became interested.
The appearance of this rough stone is excellent, the appearance is crystal clear, the texture is clear, and it is extremely huge, and the possibility of bursting green is relatively large, so the price is not low, and the starting price is 10 million.
"Well, this stone is good!"
"It makes sense, I think it will definitely be green, and the color will never be bad!"
"Of course, I heard that this is one of the three finales of this rough auction, and it will definitely not be bad."
The people present had a lot of discussions, and they all felt that this stone would definitely be green.
The waiter next to the rough stone said: "In this rough auction, the three finale rough stones can be bid, and the one with the highest price will win!" ”
