Compared to the big families in the capital, the Gao family is not that big.--)
Mr. Gao's first wife gave birth to a son and two daughters. After his death, Mr. Gao married a second wife, who only had a son, Gao Weidong. And the third generation of the Gao family only had a son and a daughter from Gao Weiguo. Counting the Gao family.
Foreign relatives - Gao Weihong's husband Gu Yunhe is the secretary of the Provincial Party Committee of Shanbei Province and has two sons; Gao Weiping's husband Qu Jianxun is a lieutenant general and has a son and a daughter - it is rare for a large family to get together and have a meal.
Reunion dinner.
Of course, although Mr. Gao found his long-lost son and was in much better spirits. He woke up in the evening and talked to Gao Weidong's family for a while, but his physical condition could not recover so quickly. Of course, he still could not be with the family.
People sit and eat together.
So the first person sitting at the table was Gao Weiguo.
Although today is the reunion dinner, which is a festive event, the atmosphere at the table is not warm, and the group of juniors seems to be very dull - the Gao family is different from ordinary families, the elders all hold high positions,
Even if it is not natural, the majesty of the superior will be revealed. How can a group of juniors dare to be wanton and wanton? b Time travel novel: b
However, the slightly dull reunion banquet was quite successful, and the dinner was harmonious and easy-going. The only thing that made Gao Qiang a little dissatisfied was that after the meal, a group of elders of the Gao family chatted briefly with Gao Weidong and his wife, and then gathered in the study room nearby. "
Went to the meeting, and Gao Weidong and his wife seemed a little neglected.
Gao Qiang can understand this. The "big shots" of the Gao family usually rarely have the opportunity to get together. Fortunately, this time they got together when the old man was seriously ill and he found his long-lost brothers again.
And Secretary Gu and General Qu are leaving Beijing early tomorrow morning, how can we not take the opportunity to discuss major factional matters?
Once the elders left, the younger generations were not so particular. Although many of them have already joined the work and even become cadres, for them, it is not their turn to intervene in family affairs.
, only Gao Wen'an was called to the "meeting", and of course the rest of the people clamored to hold another welcome program for Gao Qiang.
Gao Qiangnai was "kidnapped" and put into an Audi.
The driver was Gao Weiguo's son-in-law Liu Tao, who was in his thirties. He had black-framed eyes and a gentle manner. He was now a director of the National Development and Reform Commission. Gao Qiang's eldest sister Gao Wenting was sitting on the left side of Gao Qiang.
On the right side were cousin Qu Xinyu and cousin Qu Xuan. The two cousins from my aunt's family, Gu Jianying and Gu Jianxiong, drove another car and led the way.
After leaving Xishan, the two cars drove to a village-like place on the outskirts of the city. There was a sign saying "Xianyun Villa". It should be that kind of high-end club. It looked inconspicuous from the outside. After entering the village gate, it opened again.
After a long time, I stopped in front of a building.
"This place is mainly full of functions, including golf, horse racing, etc. Everyone likes to come here to relax when they have nothing to do."
After getting out of the car, Gao Qiang's aunt's two sons, Gu Jianying and Gu Jianxiong, introduced Gao Qiang while everyone walked towards a building.
Entering the door is a very spacious hall. There are several groups of sofas randomly placed in the hall, and some people are sitting there and chatting away.
"This place is full of children of leaders. We usually chat here, which is also a way to exchange information and find cooperation..." Gu Jianying continued to explain to Gao Qiang, not knowing that this person was deliberately talking in front of Gao Qiang.
It shows that this place is of high quality, and he still wants to guide Gao Qiang to integrate into this circle. Anyway, he is quite enthusiastic.
"Xiaoqiang, come, let me introduce you to some friends." Gao Wenting led everyone to a circle of sofas and said.
Several people sitting on the sofa had already stood up. When Gao Qiang saw it, he laughed. There were acquaintances here, very familiar acquaintances - Han Yi.
"You don't need me to introduce this beauty, right?" Gao Wenting said with a smile.
"Sister Yi." Gao Qiang shouted happily. Speaking of which, these cousins are not as close to Gao Qiang as Han Yi.
"Haha. Xiaoqiang, are you okay?" Han Yi smiled.
This question meant that Gao Qiang was okay with marrying the Gao family. Gao Qiang hesitated for a moment and nodded with a smile.
"Xiao Qiang, this is Ma Yunfei, Xiao Chen, and Tie Jun. They are all family friends of our family. You two will be closer in the future." Gao Wenting introduced several people to Gao Qiang in one breath. Fortunately, Gao Qiang has a good memory, otherwise he would not be able to remember this.
Multiple names.
After everyone said hello to Gao Qiang, everyone sat down. Although they were all members of the same family in name, but when they met for the first time, they inevitably said some useless polite words. After a while, Qu Xinyu became dissatisfied and shouted to Gu Jianying:
"I said, Brother Jianying, it's really boring. What fun is there in this place? When can we stop chatting? Brother Xiaoqiang, it's your first day here, and you didn't say you would take us to do something interesting?"
"I said to you, kid, what is interesting? What do you know about a brat?" Gu Jianying laughed and scolded, "Xiaoqiang, I'd better listen to you. Just tell me what you like to play." b Time Travel Novel
:b
Gao Qiang waved his hand and said, "I don't understand anything. Brother Jianying, please don't embarrass me."
Gu Jianying smiled, turned around and waved to a waiter, and said, "Are there any activities tonight?"
Before the waiter could reply, a young man on the other side of the hall shouted loudly: "Brother Gu, don't just play around all day long? You guys have a business, why don't you take part in it?"
Gu Jianying chuckled and responded: "Niu Er, don't embarrass me with your little business, just go and have fun by yourself."
Gu Jianying responded to Niu Er, and Gu Jianxiong explained to Gao Qiang: "Niu Yiqun, nicknamed Niu Er, is the son of Vice Minister Niu of the Ministry of Agriculture. He is a guy who talks a lot."
But Niu Yiqun didn't care about Gu Jianying's contempt at all. Instead, he ran over and said, "Hey, Sister Wen Ting is here too? Haha, what kind of big deal are you discussing? Why don't you let me join in?
"
"Go, go, brothers, we are not discussing any business today, we are just here to have fun." Gu Jianying shouted.
"No way? Are you really here to have fun?" Niu Yiqun said, looking around. He paused for a moment on Gao Qiang. He chuckled and said, "This little brother is unfamiliar, what do you call him?"
Before Gao Qiang could say anything, Gu Jianying said again: "What do you care about? Just go and have fun!"
"Don't bother me," Niu Yiqun was quite thick-skinned and said with a greedy smile, "There is a show tonight, and I'm planning to go there. Can we go there together?"
"What program is it?" Qu Xinyu asked with bright eyes.
Niu Yiqun smiled mysteriously and said, "Dog fighting!"
"Tch, I thought it was something fun. What's the point of fighting dogs?" Qu Xinyu said frustrated.
"Of course ordinary dog fighting is boring, but today's dog fighting is very interesting." Niu Yiqun said with a smile. "This time it's a Tibetan Mastiff."
"Tibetan mastiffs are boring, right?" Qu Xinyu still couldn't cheer up.
"Of course ordinary Tibetan mastiffs are boring. This time, a mastiff king appears." Niu Yiqun said, "It's the mastiff king belonging to Brother Chang."
As soon as Niu Yiqun's words came out, everyone immediately became interested. Qu Xinyu even shouted: "Why is Chang San willing to pull his Mastiff King out for a dog fight? Isn't that ridiculous?"
"Hey, I just said today's program is interesting, how about we go over and watch it together?" Niu Yiqun said with a smile.
Now even Gu Jianying didn't object to Niu Yiqun who insisted on joining them. However, the three beauties Gao Wenting, Han Yi, and Qu Xuan thought dog fighting looked too bloody, so they decided to find their own show to play, and everyone split up.
Niu Er turned around and waved to the table where he was sitting just now. Two or three more people came over, and a group of senior men left the hall together.
The dog fighting place is not far from here. In a moment, we arrived in another building. The hall is still very spacious, but the decoration style is very rough. In the middle is a boxing-like ring. Judging from the posture, it should be
It was temporarily arranged and surrounded by tables and chairs scattered around - there were not many spectators in this place, so of course there was no need to turn it into stepped seats, as it was still mainly about comfort.
There are already many people in the hall. They are sitting in small groups at the surrounding tables and chairs and chatting. Gao Qiang and his gang also sat at three or four tables respectively, waiting for the "show" to start. b Time Travel Novel
:b
"Really Chang San's King Mastiff? Whose dog should I fight with? Isn't that just seeking death?" Qu Xinyu grabbed Niu Er excitedly and asked.
"Ordinary dogs really don't need to fight. They are just looking for death." Niu Yiqun said with a smile, "Chang San's mastiff king is said to be worth 20 million. It can't even fight a leopard. Let alone an ordinary fighting dog. It's only one.
If they are not opponents, then it is not necessarily a group."
"A group?" Qu Xinyu said.
"Haha. Six!" Niu Yiqun waved his hand and said, "Brother Chang said, you can choose any dog breed, even if you use Tibetan Mastiff, his own Mastiff King singled out six dogs!"
"Tsk, what's the reason for this? It seems that Chang San also lost his temper, haha." Gu Jianying said with a smile.
"I heard that the third brother Chang and the second brother Ouyang had an argument because of Xu Lu. I can't explain exactly what happened," Niu Yiqun said.
Xu Lu? Gao Qiang actually remembers this female star. In his previous life, Gao Qiang once "appreciated" this innocent-looking beauty Xu for a while. Unfortunately, seeing the pink and tender newcomer with the potential to become famous, it was short-lived and not long after.
Just disappeared from the screen. It turned out to be because he was wrapped up? Hey, this movement was quite loud - just now Gu Jianying explained to Gao Qiang the origin of the so-called Chang Sangong, the youngest son of the former general secretary
!As for the second brother Ouyang, I'm afraid his background is not small.
As he was talking, there was a bit of commotion in the originally quiet hall. Gao Qiang looked up and saw a guy in his thirties with a dashing appearance walking over. Everyone in the distance moved away, stunned.
There is a wide aisle, and the posture is like a welcoming greeting.
However, it was obvious that everyone was not standing in a row to welcome him, but was avoiding him in fear, because the man was holding an iron chain in his hand, and there was a "lion" tied to the chain!
The name Mastiff King is indeed not for nothing. Look at the size of this guy. He is half a person tall. The black mane on his neck stands upright. Apart from the color, he looks the same as a male lion. Especially the look in his eyes. He is called a lion.
Powerful and terrifying!
"Chang San, do you really want to fight six against one? Are you afraid that the mastiff king like you will be bitten to death?" someone in the crowd shouted.
"Who is this? You don't even call me Third Brother when you talk to me?" Young Master Chang glanced arrogantly in the direction where he was speaking, and said proudly, "What are six pieces? I, the Mastiff King, have killed a leopard!"
"
"Tch, the leopards in the zoo are also considered leopards?" someone shouted.
"Don't worry about whether it's a leopard or not. Anyway, I'm optimistic about Third Brother's Mastiff King!" Some people were trying to undermine him, while others were trying to support him. The scene became a mess. Okay.
"Hey, second brother Ouyang is here..."
Looking in the direction of the door again, there were seven or eight people coming this time. The first one was a guy in his thirties. He was as thin as a telegraph pole and slightly hunched over, but he walked with great airs. However,
However, the Second Young Master Ouyang did not hold a chain, but was followed by several followers, each with an iron chain in his hand, and a dog tied to each chain. That is called a complete breed - there are Caucasian, Bordeaux, and Pitbull.
, Tosa, bull terrier, and one is also a Tibetan mastiff.
Seeing this posture, Gao Qiang shook his head. He said that the dogs he chose were all famous dogs for dog fighting. Each one was very powerful. These dogs were all very strong, even the Tibetan Mastiff.
It is much smaller than Chang San's Mastiff King. It is said that the overall strength should exceed that of Mastiff King. But the problem is that this is not a simple one plus one equals two. Six different breeds of dogs are obviously not domesticated together.
If there is no cooperation between them, if they are still hostile to each other, how can they cooperate and cooperate to exert their overall strength?
"Ouyang. Not bad. Where did you get so many good guys?" someone shouted.
"Second brother, where did you get this Tibetan Mastiff? Although it's a little worse than Chang San's King Mastiff, it should be about the same. With those few additions, I'm sure to win today." Someone was encouraging me somewhere.
"Stop saying it's useless and start quickly."
"Don't mention it, you haven't placed your bets yet, come on, you are all having fun..." Someone shouted loudly again.
Niu Yiqun came over and said with a smile: "How much pressure do you guys need?"
"Of course we have to support Chang San and Ouyang Er, but the question is who should we support?" Gu Jianying said.
"Two fists can't beat four hands, and one dog's mouth can't bite six dog mouths. Just overpower Ouyang Er." Gu Jianxiong said.
"No, second brother. What does it mean that two fists are hard to beat with four hands? You have never seen my brother Xiao Qiang fight against a dozen policemen alone. So I am optimistic about Chang San." Qu Xinyu shouted.
Gao Qiang was a little bit dumbfounded. Damn, are you comparing me to that Tibetan mastiff?
"Xiaoqiang, why don't you try it too, which one do you like more?" Gu Jianying said with a smile.
"I'd better stop playing..." Gao Qiang was unsure. Although we can basically analyze who can win, who knows how big these guys can be when they play? Although my brother is worth tens of millions, but
We basically can't touch that money. What we can really use at our disposal is only tens of thousands of dollars. There's really no way we can use it to embarrass ourselves.
"It doesn't matter, it's just for fun." Gu Jianying said with a smile, "Just play small, the minimum bet is one hundred thousand, if you win, it's yours, if you lose, it's mine, haha."
Gao Qiang felt contempt for Gu Jianying in his heart. Looking at the way you smiled, it seemed like a sum of 100,000 yuan.
"One hundred thousand? Gao Qiang shook his head with a hint of disdain and said: "Forget it, I'm not very interested in gambling."
How could Gu Jianying not see Gao Qiang's disdainful expression? She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, Shiwan was indeed a bit petty. We thought he had never seen any big scenes since he was a child in the countryside.
One hundred thousand yuan is a lot of money to him, but who knows that others don't even look at it at all - Gao Qiang's existence has always been a secret of the Gao family, and only a few core elders know about it.
Only Gao Wen'an and Han Yi knew about it, and the others didn't know anything about Gao Qiang's Internet company.
"Xiaoqiang, everyone is here just to have fun..." Gu Jianying laughed awkwardly and said, "If it's not enough, you can add bets at any time during the half. Whichever one has the higher odds will be more exciting."
Gao Qiang blinked, and there is still the idea of raising money at any time during the half? If that's the case, it would be a bit interesting. Well, should we get some pocket money? I heard that the consumption in Beijing is quite high...
"Haha, then I'll try my hand at it." Gao Qiang said with a smile, "Yeah, but I really didn't bring much money when I came out..."
"Haha, you can play whatever you want, you can suppress me as much as you want, it's all mine!" Gu Jianying could only pat her chest and talk nonsense at this moment. We can't lose face in front of our cousin from the country, right?
"Then why are you so embarrassed...then what, how much can you give in at most?"
Gao Qiang's words shocked Gu Jianying. What, our little cousin is actually a gambler? Damn, this is terrible. What kind of big-tailed wolf do you think we are? Maybe this kid dares to take us
All the money was lost!
But fortunately, there are rules in the circle. Gambling is just for the sake of winnings, and it will not really involve all the family wealth like a real gambler, so everyone has an unwritten rule, as long as it is this type
In all gambling games, the minimum hand is 100,000, and the maximum is no more than 1 million, otherwise the banker will not take the money.
The banker is the club, and several tables have been set up next to the ring to facilitate the people present to place bets - midfielders can place bets at any time, but efficiency is very important.
"Xiaoqiang, which side are you going to take advantage of?" Gu Jianying explained the rules of the game to Gao Qiang and asked.
"Hmm..." Gao Qiang began to think. Although we have determined that Chang San's mastiff Wang has a higher chance of winning, the problem is that if we place a bet now, the odds of both sides are one to one. Even if we bet the biggest
If you bet one million, you can only earn one million back. Although one million is not a small amount of money, it is compared to what we are in Yunan. In the capital, you are embarrassed to take one million.
Come out and show off.
Therefore, the correct opportunity to place a bet is when the dealer adjusts the odds at any time according to the situation on the field.
Then the side that loses at the beginning is the side that is most likely to get high odds in the middle, and is also the side that Gao Qiang is most willing to bet on. As for the odds of winning...
