Chapter 344: Bet! Jackpot!
The Chen family is mainly engaged in the silver number business. The Colosseum is a business that has emerged in recent years, and bloody gladiatorial fights are full of violent aesthetics, and at the same time, they can also be used to bet on gambling, so they are very popular with the nobility of the imperial capital.
Although there is only one industry, the profit is comparable to hundreds of silver accounts, and it can bring hundreds of millions of gold yuan to the Chen family every month.
It can be said that the silver trumpet and the Colosseum are the two pillar industries of the Chen family. When there is a run on the silver number, the reputation is damaged, and the business is reduced to the freezing point. The Colosseum became the greatest source of benefits for the Chen family.
Now Fang Xiaobao wants to use the Colosseum as a color, and after everyone in the Chen family heard about it, their faces were gloomy and ugly.
"Weihai Gong, your appetite is not small!" Chen Bin sneered.
Fang Xiaobao squinted at it, and replied with a joking voice: "What? Your Chen family has been so poor recently that you can't open the pot, and you don't even dare to gamble on an industry? He deliberately provoked the general, and the wild lion and others next to him added fuel and vinegar to ridicule.
"The Holy Lord doesn't know, my subordinates heard that his family's silver account has collapsed, and the severance pay of the employees can't be paid, how can they have spare money to gamble with us!"
"Don't pretend if you don't have money!"
"Pick a little bit at hand, save a few copper coins to support your family, don't starve your wife and children!"
A bunch of damaged goods are bitter and mean, and their words are ugly. Chen Bin was so angry that he trembled, looking at the black mastiff squatting in front of him looking left and right and shaking his head and tail, he didn't think much about it, and blurted out at Fang Xiaobao: "If you want to bet, you can take out how much?" ”
The fish has taken the bait!
Fang Xiaobao was overjoyed when he heard this, squinted at Chen Bin, and asked slowly, "How much is your Colosseum worth?" ”
Chen Bin gritted his teeth and said loudly: "I am the only one in the Imperial Capital Colosseum, with a monthly revenue of hundreds of millions, if it is used for gambling, it is equivalent to at least three billion gold yuan!" ”
Three billion!
Fang Xiaobao pretended to be frightened after hearing this, then shrugged his shoulders and teased left and right: "Lao Tzu still thinks how much, it turns out that it is just a few small dollars!" ”
Three billion gold dollars are enough to buy all the properties of any commercial street on the Eighth Avenue of the Imperial Capital. In Fang Xiaobao's mouth, it is a few small money, this is forced to pretend, it is enough!
Of course, even if he moved the idea of the Chen family's Colosseum, he was also very prepared. After Ma Wenfang clapped his hands gently, twenty Jinqi cavalry walked out, each carrying a large wooden box on his shoulder, neatly placed in the open space in front of him.
After opening, there were five boxes full of jewels, five boxes of high-grade blood essence, and ten boxes of thick gold tickets.
"Five boxes of jewelry are worth one billion, and five boxes of high-grade blood essence will also exceed this number, and there are two billion golden tickets!"
Fang Xiaobao looked at the blinded guys opposite, and said slowly: "The golden tickets issued by the official bank are no better than the waste paper and gold-lettered signboards of the HSBC Silver Account...... Added together, a total of four billion gold dollars! ”
At this point, he turned his eyes to Chen Bin, and said again: "Lao Tzu's color head is enough to be worthy of your Colosseum, dare to bet, give me a word!" ”
Not to mention jewelry, the blood essence is passed on from the sea of stars, which has the effect of strengthening the body and improving the strength of the fighters, and in recent years, it is also a best-selling rare item in the imperial capital, and it is very popular with the majority of nobles, and the market price of a piece reaches thousands of gold yuan, and it is difficult to buy.
The five big boxes were full of blood essence, and the value was incalculable, at least billions of gold dollars.
Chen Bin looked at the glittering jewels, as well as the rare blood essence, and the golden tickets issued by the entire two billion official banks, and his face unconsciously flashed with greed.
Not just a black mastiff, according to the rules proposed by the 'nouveau riche', he can send high-level star beasts to fight, and he is almost sure of victory.
If you win, you will make a windfall, which is enough to make up for the loss of the silver number!
Therefore, Chen Bin wanted to gamble, but he couldn't be the master.
This guy unconsciously turned his head and looked at his father Chen Yousong. The latter's mind is the same as his son's, and he has the same intentions, but he can't be the master.
All the properties of the Chen family are in charge of Chen Yousong, the head of the family, on the surface, but in fact, the biggest boss is his master, Anling Wang Guxi.
Chen Yousong, like Chen Bin, subconsciously looked at Gu Xi. Gamble or not, the final decision is still made by his master.
When Fang Xiaobao took out the tempting color head. Gu Xi seemed to be calm, but in fact, he squinted, and listened to the report of his subordinates while looking at the golden ticket jewel blood essence placed in front of him.
"My lord, there is nothing unusual about this mastiff...... According to the law that bloodlines determine the strength of star beasts, its strength does not exceed level four at the maximum! ”
A woman with a sallow face stood behind Gu Xi, her lips twitching, reporting her investigation.
Spiritual relics!
Fang Xiaobao was on the back of a lion, and he knew the identity of this couple at a glance. It is not difficult to infer that with Gu Xi's cautious character, he will definitely be fully prepared before the gamble.
"As for the general......"
Fang Xiaobao looked at the black mastiff squatting in front of him, shaking his head and tail, and a smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth. After eating the Yingluo Divine Fruit and swallowing the Tyrannosaurus Blood Essence, the general's bloodline physique has undergone earth-shaking changes, although the level has only broken through the first order, from the third level to the fourth level, but the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, even in the face of the existence of the Beast King level, it can easily win.
Some of his subordinates are gifted spiritual relics. The bloodline of the general's transformation has been dealt with a long time ago, and the spiritual detection cannot detect abnormalities at all.
From the outside, the general is just an ordinary black mastiff, at most strong, with a protruding jaw and a mouth larger than other mastiffs.
A mastiff that inherits the natural bloodline of the tyrannosaurus and is so strong that it is perverted, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, plus a huge amount of color, can definitely lure anyone to take the bait.
Gu Xi is no exception!
It's just that this King of Anling has a great appetite, and he is not satisfied with the lottery worth four billion, but also wants to grab more benefits.
After confirming with his subordinates that there is nothing abnormal about the black mastiff. But seeing Gu Xi standing with a spring breeze on his face, he smiled at Fang Xiaobao and said: "Grandpa is a guest from afar, and if you want to have some fun, naturally I can't let you be disappointed!" ”
The master spoke. The mind is obvious, bet.
"Weihai Gong is interested, our Chen family should accompany us!" Chen Yousong expressed his position.
Chen Bin pointed at the black mastiff general, and did not forget to add: "The rules are according to what the grandfather himself said, you send a black mastiff, and we will send a star beast to the field at will!" ”
This product thought it was taking a big advantage, but in fact, it fell into the pit without knowing it.
"Of course!" Fang Xiaobao nodded happily. Squinting, my heart is already happy.
"Regarding the color head, this king has one more suggestion!" Gu Xi's words return to the topic.
Fang Xiaobao didn't need to guess to know what kind of crooked idea this guy was fighting, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Please say!" ”
"The Chen family's Colosseum can be said to be the most profitable industry in the imperial capital, with a monthly revenue of hundreds of millions of ...... Although the grandfather took out a lot of lottery heads, he could easily earn them back after a few years of operation in the Colosseum, so he ......"
Gu Xi said this and did not continue. looked at Fang Xiaobao, revealing the meaning of 'you know'.
"Play to have fun!"
Fang Xiaobao pretended to be wealthy, waved his hand and said: "Just a few small dollars, I don't care about Xinghai yet, how much do you want to add, but the prince said it's okay!" ”
"The Colosseum is a profiteering business, and it's hard to measure it with money alone!" Gu Xi is still in the old style, half of the words are said, and half of them are left.
"Oh!"
Fang Xiaobao is a smart person, of course he understands the meaning of this guy's words, and he asked without smiling: "Is it difficult, does the prince want this duke to also take out a profiteering industry to gamble?" ”
"That's right! The right to operate a waterway! Let's bet! Chen Bin thought he had guessed his master's mind and blurted out these words.
But seeing that Fang Xiaobao's face sank, he pointed in the direction of Longshan, and said word by word to this guy: "That guy still doesn't have such a big appetite, you are a little Chen family, and you dare to move my crooked thoughts of Xinghai Dao!" ”
"Look for death!"
"Believe it or not, Lao Tzu will raze your Chen family now!"
Fang Xiaobao was furious. A group of capable men shouted and scolded. The scene was full of gunpowder, and there was a momentum of fighting without saying a word.
Idiot!
Gu Xi glared at Chen Bin fiercely. The golden waterway connecting the East and West Continents, although he has coveted it for a long time, but this is the foundation of the relics of Xinghai, and whoever dares to touch it will definitely cause both sides to tear their faces and completely break off.
As the 'nouveau riche' said, his father did not dare to stretch out his hand, and Chen Bin recklessly opened his mouth, which is not good, and it is very likely to attract a strong backlash from the remnants of Xinghai.
Chen Bin knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he pinched his nose and kept silent. But seeing Gu Xi hurriedly stepped forward, he smiled and said, "Brother Chen is a joke, and Grandpa doesn't have to take it seriously." Then, he bluntly spoke out about his proposal.
It's very simple, in addition to the existing lottery heads, Xinghai has come up with the best blood marrow wine recipe, and it is fair for both sides to bet on the lottery heads.
"Well...... this" Fang Xiaobao touched his mustache and showed hesitation.
The best blood marrow wine produced in Xinghai flows out of the outside world in very small quantities. But Gu Lie tried his best to get a bottle, and after trying it himself, he found that the effect of this wine was far superior to that of blood marrow, and it was very effective in improving the strength of the remnants of Tianyuan Mansion under him.
The Tianyuan Mansion was established with the strong support of the Gu Dynasty. There are many talented relics, among which there are two or three who can collect the blood essence of the star beast and refine the blood essence. Therefore, there is no shortage of blood essence in Tianyuan Mansion.
But the best blood marrow wine, no matter how the remnants of Tianyuan Mansion try their best, it is difficult to make it. Because of its unique miraculous effect, it can be said that Gu Xi dreamed of it and was bound to get it.
Therefore, this time, taking advantage of the opportunity of the gambling fight, this proposed to let Fang Xiaobao use the secret recipe of the sacrificial blood marrow wine to make a color head.
Seeing Fang Xiaobao's hesitant expression. Gu Xi seems to be relaxed, but he is actually nervous. The best blood marrow wine was too important to him, so he was afraid that Fang Xiaobao would not agree.
"Okay!"
Think twice. Fang Xiaobao finally nodded 'reluctantly'. However, he also put strings attached.
In order to gamble fairly, prevent someone from defaulting afterwards. It was suggested that the two parties sign the text, and Lu Houdao, the minister of rites, would act as a notary public. In addition, before the bet, all the guests in the venue truthfully announced the relevant matters.
To be honest, since he decided to gamble, Gu Xi had no idea of repaying his debts. On the contrary, he was also worried that Xinghai would cheat if he lost the bet. Therefore, Fang Xiaobao's proposal was exactly what he wanted to do, so he naturally agreed.
"Master Lu, I have to make a notarization!"
When Gu Xi was full of spring breeze, he asked Lu Houdao to preside over the event. Fang Xiaobao was on the lion's back, squinting his eyes, and his face unconsciously showed a funny expression.
The secret recipe of the best blood marrow wine is very simple, the blood marrow of high-grade star beasts, mixed with the unique materials of the star sea such as Yingluo flower juice and yin and yang fruit. Even if it is announced to the public, there is a lack of materials, and no one can brew it.
Besides, there's no way he's going to lose!
