When I got back to the office building in the Tribeca neighborhood, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

Ji Cheng took Pang Ming to the second floor, and as soon as he stepped into the door of the company, he saw Zhu Siguo and Cheng Hailin exchanging something.

“…… The office supplies are bought, and the decoration of the pawn shop should also be done as soon as possible. ”

"Well, I'm familiar with the beautiful country, so I'll do this."

Ji Cheng stepped forward and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Zhu Siguo tilted his head and immediately smiled: "Brother Ji, Mr. Cheng and I are discussing the decoration of the pawnshop, where have you been?" ”

Pang Ming said: "I accompanied Mr. Ji to the flea market for a visit......

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Hailin was startled, "Slow! ”

Zhu Siguo and Pang Ming were startled, and they didn't know why Cheng Hailin was shocked.

Ji Cheng saw Cheng Hailin staring directly at the Nine Dragons Sword he was holding in his hand, and he probably understood why the other party was like this, he was secretly amused in his heart, he was holding the Nine Dragons Sword so obviously that he deliberately let Cheng Hailin see it.

Sure enough, Cheng Hailin stepped forward with a solemn face, "Boss, can you give me a closer look at this sword in your hand?" ”

Pang Mingle said: "Old Cheng, you don't think the red sapphire and diamond on the scabbard are real, right?" It's impossible, Mr. Ji only bought it back for two hundred dollars. ”

Ji Cheng intentionally or unintentionally took out the purchase receipt, "Yes, it only cost two hundred dollars, fake." ”

"I don't look like a fake." Cheng Hailin couldn't take his eyes off, just stared at the gem on the scabbard, "Boss, you let me take a look." ”

"Okay, okay, take it and see it."

Ji Cheng pretended not to care and handed it over.

Pang Ming and Zhu Siguo didn't take it seriously, after all, how could so many gems be real with the things bought back for two hundred dollars?

Cheng Hailin didn't pay attention to them, but carefully took the sword and put it on the table.

At this moment, Ji Cheng's mobile phone rang, he took it out to take a look, and found that it was Steve. Cohen called, and said to Cheng Hailin, "Whether it's true or not, I like this sword very much, don't break it, I'll go out and answer the phone first." ”

"I know, boss." Cheng Hailin didn't raise his head.

Ji Cheng walked out of the office and came to the window at the end of the corridor to answer the phone.

"Hi, Mr. Cohen."

"Mr. Ji, I heard that you came to the beautiful country?"

"Hey, how do you know?"

"It's hard for me to make such a big move in Atlantic City."

"Haha, it didn't make much of a move, didn't you win one or two million dollars?"

"You didn't make much noise, but those casinos were all scared half to death by you, and they posted your photos at the door of the casino one by one."

Ji Cheng really didn't know the news, and he couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, Nima, treat me as a door god?

I'm speechless, Steve. Cohen took the initiative to explain his intentions, "Originally, I was going to contact you in the past two days, and the Las Vegas Charity Gala Gaming Week is about to start, do you think it is inconvenient to meet with me in detail in the past two or three days?" ”

Ji Chengdao: "Yes, I'll come to talk to you the day after tomorrow." ”

After chatting for a few words, Pang Ming, Zhu Siguo and others exclaimed in the office area in the distance.

"Well, okay, the day after tomorrow, I have a meeting tomorrow, and I'll send a driver to pick you up then."

"Okay."

After agreeing, Ji Cheng hung up the phone.

I was about to go back to the office when my phone rang again.

He glanced down and saw that this time it was an unfamiliar number, as if it was a landline in New York.

Ji Cheng didn't remember that he knew too many people in New York, but after thinking about it, he still connected, and said in English: "Hey, I'm Ji Cheng, who are you?" ”

Who knew that a rather tongue-twisting Mandarin man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello Mr. Ji, I'm Zhao Haizhe, remember?" ”

Zhao Haizhe?

Johnny Chen's apprentice?

Ji Cheng won a lot of money last time he played Texas Hold'em with the other party, how could he not remember, although he didn't know what important things the other party called, but he still responded: "Mr. Zhao, remember." ”

Zhao Haizhe said: "I heard that Mr. Ji came to the beautiful country? In New York? ”

Ji Cheng blinked and said, "You shouldn't have received the news from the casino, right?" ”

"Hehe, otherwise I wouldn't have known you were here." Zhao Haizhe admitted.

Ji Cheng didn't expect that he only won $21 million in the casino and made such a big fuss, he asked casually: "Then what is the matter with you calling me?" Aren't you going to ask me to bet two? ”

"Eh, you guessed right." Zhao Haizhe explained his intentions and said: "I have a few uncles and uncles here who like to play stud, which is a Hong Kong-style five-card, and I want to ask if you are interested in coming over to play two." ”

Ji Cheng remembered that private gambling was prohibited in New York, and politely refused: "It's not good to gamble in private, it's good that you have the nationality of a beautiful country, you will be fined at most if you are caught, I am a tourist, if I am caught, I may be deported." ”

"You can rest assured that private gambling is prohibited in New York, but there are some exceptions." Zhao Haizhe took the initiative to introduce: "For example, lotteries, authorized casinos, horse racing betting, bingo and other games used to raise funds for religious groups and charitable non-profit organizations, these are not illegal, since I asked you to play, we must have done everything possible, we have a charity outside the world, specifically used to exploit loopholes, you can rest assured to play, I will bear what happens." ”

Everyone has said that it is not good for Ji Cheng to refuse, after all, this is other people's territory, and he heard from someone last time that Zhao Haizhe is very powerful, and it is not good to offend, and he will open a pawn company here in the future, if he can get Zhao Haizhe's support, at least no one will make trouble.

"Okay, how big is it, I'm going to have some money." Ji Cheng agreed.

"I won't call you a little player, my uncles and uncles are playing bigger, each of them brought 20 million US dollars, ready to play casually for a night, with your skills don't use so much, in this way, you don't have to prepare money, I will help you prepare five million dollars, and if you win, you will pay it back to me directly, and then send money if you lose, how about it?" Zhao Haizhe took the initiative to propose.

It can't be a pig killing plate, right?

Ji Cheng was a little bottomless in his heart, but he could still afford to lose five million dollars, if he found out that it was a pig killing plate, he could also retreat in time, he had a magic skill like perception enhancement, and it was clear whether it was a pig killing plate at a glance.

"Okay, so where am I going to find you?" Ji Cheng asked.

"I'll send someone to pick you up, if you want to bring friends, there are many people playing games on my side." Zhao Haizhe said.

Ji Cheng snorted, and didn't say the hotel and company address, but just told the other party that he was in the Tribeca neighborhood.

After making the call.

He pondered for a while, if the other party was killing pigs, he would lose five million dollars and withdraw quickly, but if not, then I'm sorry, buddy has to win more money back tonight, at least earn back the money to buy a mansion.

Thinking about it, he turned back to the office area.

As soon as he walked in, Pang Ming was startled and said, "! Season Total! You've made a big deal this time! ”

Zhu Siguo was also inhaling a cool breath over there, "Brother Ji's luck is too good, right?" ”

Ji Cheng pretended not to know, "What am I lucky?" ”

Cheng Hailin looked trembling and pointed to the Nine Dragons Sword on the table and said, "Old ...... Boss, this ...... you picked up and got back This Mongolian sword is most likely the real Nine Dragons Sword! ”

"Huh?" Ji Cheng is still acting, "Nine Dragons Sword? Didn't that thing burn down in pursuit? Xiao Pang knows. ”

Pang Ming smiled bitterly and said: "My one may be fake, after all, it was left by my ex-wife, and I don't know if it's true or not, Mr. Ji, even if I owe you a million dollars, I will find a chance to pay it back to you in the future." ”

How can Ji Cheng take other people's things and ask for other people's money, he knows how the real Nine Dragons Sword came from, waved his hand and said: "We haven't recovered the money in the Huaxia antique circle, and one million dollars should be regarded as a lesson for me." ”

Pang Ming didn't speak, but his eyes were full of inexplicable gratitude when he looked at Ji Cheng.

Cheng Hailin swallowed his saliva and said: "I'm not completely sure it's true, boss, you'd better bring it back to China for a professional organization to identify, if it's really the Nine Dragons Sword, then you really picked up the leak this time!" ”

"Well, let's talk about this when I go back to China." Ji Cheng smiled and said, "I'm going to gamble later, do you want to follow?" ”

Pang Ming's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and said, "Take me, take me." ”

Cheng Hailin and Zhu Siguo thought they were going to Atlantic City, and they all agreed.

At the end, a group of four people went downstairs.

After waiting for about half an hour at the agreed intersection, a Lincoln courtesy car stopped in front of them, and Zhao Haizhe poked his head out and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, long time no see." ”

Ji Cheng greeted him and said, "Mr. Zhao, hello." ”

"Get in the car, I'll just tell you about the details of the game later." Zhao Haizhe took the initiative to open the rear door.

Ji Cheng, Cheng Hailin and others got into the car.

As soon as he entered, Zhao Haizhe took out red wine and cigars.

The crowd chatted while drinking red wine.

Zhao Haizhe held his cigar and said, "Mr. Ji, the place we are going to be in a later meeting is more private, don't tell the outside world when you go back, otherwise my uncles and uncles will pick my skin." ”

Ji Cheng nodded, "Okay." ”

Zhao Haizhe said: "Don't worry, I asked you to come out to play definitely not to kill pigs, otherwise it will be spread out and lose my master's face, my uncles and uncles are their own people, they used to play very big, and they usually asked my master to play together, but in the past two days, my master went to Las Vegas for something, they are missing two, counting me and I am one person short, I just heard that you came to the beautiful country, so I want to ask you to play together, as for your friends, you can play in the hall if you want to play, and you can go in and watch together if you don't want to play." ”

……

The car entered Chinatown.

After a short while, stop at Mott Street, Chinatown.

When Ji Cheng, Cheng Hailin and the others came down, they found that this was actually the location of the New York Zhigong Hall!

Zhu Siguo took a breath and said, "Mr. Zhao, shouldn't the person who will play cards with my brother Ji be an elder of Hongmen?" ”

Yes?

Ji Cheng, Cheng Hailin, and Pang Ming were stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect Zhao Haizhe to be a member of the world's largest Chinese organization.

Zhao Haizhe obviously saw the worries of Ji Cheng and the others, and took the initiative to smile and said: "What age is it that Hongmen is not Hongmen, we are a commercial organization, and we are not going to the court, but the chess and card room next to it, purely to play two games." ”

Ji Cheng really didn't know what Zhao Haizhe meant by letting him come over to play, but he had come here, and he had no reason to run now, "Okay, let's go in first." ”

"Okay."

Zhao Haizhe led the way in front.

After a while, they entered a chess and card room next to it.

As soon as I entered, I saw that there were more than a dozen tables in the hall, and there were about 100 people gathered, playing everything, fighting landlords, playing mahjong, bullfighting, and so on.

"Brother Zhao."

"Brother Zhao, you're here."

"Uncle and uncle are waiting on the second floor, you go up quickly."

A group of people greeted Zhao Haizhe.

Ji Cheng looked at it with interest and found that it was a bit like a small casino, and the most critical table was full of cash, which was different from playing with chips in a casino.

followed Zhao Haizhe to the box on the second floor.

As soon as he pushed the door in, Ji Cheng saw that three men were already sitting and waiting, the oldest was an elderly man in a Mao suit sitting opposite the door, probably in his seventies, next to him there was a fat bald head in his fifties, and the remaining one was a strong man in his forties.

In addition to the three of them, there were three or five beautiful young Chinese girls serving tea and water.

"Uncle Chen, Uncle Huang, Uncle Ning."

Zhao Haizhe greeted him as soon as he came in.

"Xiao Zhao is here." The sturdy man in his forties who was called Uncle Ning had a cigarette in his mouth, stood up while looking sideways, and said with a smile: "This is the Mr. Ji you told us, right?" ”

"Hello Uncle Ning." Ji Cheng also greeted.

Uncle Ning stretched out his calloused hand, "Mr. Ji, hello." ”

The two sides shook hands.

Then Uncle Chen and Uncle Huang greeted Ji Cheng and shook hands as well.

Ji Cheng also introduced Pang Ming, Cheng Hailin and Zhu Siguo to everyone.

Afterwards, everyone sat down at the table.

Uncle Ning made eye contact with Uncle Chen, Uncle Huang and others, and then glanced at Ji Cheng with some doubts.

Uncle Huang asked tentatively, "Mr. Ji, did you really win Xiao Zhao at the Taj Mahal Casino last time?" ”

Ji Cheng was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the other party asked this, but still said modestly: "I won one or two by luck." ”

Uncle Chen said in his hoarse voice: "Our Xiao Zhao is amazing, he has won Johnny's true biography, even the more powerful professional players may not be his opponents, you can beat him one or two It seems that the strength is indeed very strong, but is it really that strong, or Xiao Zhao and we bragged, and we have to play to know." ”

The more Ji Cheng listened, the more he said, and he said that if he asked me to come and play cards, he would play cards, why did he still speak with doubts?

Zhao Haizhe didn't say anything, of course he knew why these uncles and uncles asked so much, and this was also the real purpose of him calling Ji Cheng over tonight.

Gambling money is real.

It's just that they can't find anyone to play, but Zhao Haizhe wants to take the opportunity to let a few uncles and uncles see how strong Ji Cheng is, and once they get the approval of these uncles and uncles, they will talk about cooperation with Ji Cheng.

Yes, Zhao Haizhe wants to borrow Ji Cheng's hand to do a big thing.

And this matter must be done by the best of gambling, so Ji Cheng must prove his strength before Zhao Haizhe can say it.

In fact, Zhao Haizhe didn't know whether Ji Cheng could satisfy the three uncles and uncles in front of him, although Ji Cheng was superb in gambling, but these three uncles and uncles were all first-class gambling masters in Hongmen, and it was not easy to make these three masters agree with Ji Cheng's gambling skills.
