Muay Thai is an integral part of Thai culture, and it is a sport loved by all walks of life in Thailand. Huayun Group has its roots in Thailand, so it is naturally involved in this sport. As the base camp of Huayun Group, Chiang Mai has spared no effort in investing in this aspect.
.
Not long after finishing the call with Zuo Tianming, Jiang Peng called and invited Zuo Han to attend the opening ceremony of the new boxing gym in Chiang Mai two days later.
It may seem like a friendly gesture, but it's actually not at all kind-hearted.
The agent of the new boxing gym is Xu Jing, Jiang Peng's stepmother. And according to Zuo Tianming's information, Xu Jing's resentment towards the Zuo family is not ordinary.
In addition to these, Zuo Han asked Zuo Tianming to check Anan's situation. It wasn't that Zuo Han wanted to do anything, but Anan had a special status. Out of complete consideration, there was no harm in knowing more about Anan.
……………………
Two days later, Zuo Han took Naka's car to Chiang Mai. He didn't tell anyone that he accepted Jiang Peng's invitation. He only said that he would go to the city to play and might not go back at night. Naka showed a knowing smile.
, after reminding Zuo Han to pay attention to "safety", he drove back.
The boxing gym opened today and there will be many exciting fights. Posters are posted all over the city. Zuo Han found the place without much effort.
"Welcome, welcome..." As soon as Zuo Han arrived in front of the boxing gym, Jiang Peng, who had been waiting outside, greeted him, as if the unpleasantness of the past few days had never happened, and said enthusiastically:
"It's really a great honor for Mr. Zuo to come to attend the unveiling ceremony."
"No, I would like to thank Manager Jiang for the kind invitation." Zuo Han shook hands with Jiang Peng.
If you want to force Jiang Peng to do something, just embarrassing him in the manor is not enough.
The two people, who had their own secrets, walked into the boxing gym chatting and laughing. To others, they looked like two friends who had not seen each other for a long time.
Jiang Peng led Zuo Han to the front seat. After sitting down, he began to introduce today's content and boxers to Zuo Han. While they were talking, a young man wearing a white suit came over surrounded by several bodyguards.
"Brother, I invited my friends over without saying a word." The young man greeted Jiang Peng, but his attitude was not very polite.
Jiang Peng stood up seemingly unconcerned and introduced Zuo Han: "This is my younger brother, Jiang Xing."
"Hello." Zuo Han stood up pretending not to know and stretched out his hand.
Jiang Peng continued to introduce to Jiang Xing: "This is Zuo Han from China."
Jiang Xing's extended hand paused, and his face darkened: "The Zuo family in the capital?"
"Yes." Following Zuo Han's reply, Jiang Xing snorted, touched Zuo Han's hand casually, and sat down to the side.
"Don't mind, that's just the way my brother is." Jiang Peng quickly explained to Zuo Han, but there was a glimmer of success in his eyes.
…
When Xu Jing married Jiang Gaoye, the Zuo family was opposed to it. Later, when Xu Jing's domestic acting career failed, they blamed it on the Zuo family and simply went to Thailand with Jiang Gaoye. From then on, they almost never set foot on Chinese soil again. After Jiang Xing was born,
, and due to the influence of his mother, he has no favorable impression of the Zuo family. If he hadn't been concerned about the Zuo family's background, Jiang Xing could have asked people to kick Zuo Han out.
Jiang Peng brought Zuo Han here today. One wanted to take advantage of Xu Jing and Jiang Xing to retaliate and express his resentment. The other also wanted to use Xu Jing's strength to fight, with the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. Even if Jiang Gaoye asked later
Since the Zuo family came to play, the Jiang family had to entertain them. Anyway, Jiang Peng would not suffer any loss.
Zuo Han knew what Jiang Peng was thinking, but he didn't take it seriously.
Since you want to watch a show, I will put on a big show for you today, so big that you will be scared to watch it.
After a while, Xu Jing also came.
…
Xu Jing is over forty, but she takes good care of herself and is full of charm when talking and laughing.
However, Xu Jing did not take a seat. Instead, she went to the ring as the host and a guest to give a programmed speech. The invited guest was quite well-established, including Chanakhun, a member of the Thai Parliament.
Zha Nachun was in his fifties and was one of the MPs with a strong voice and considerable influence. However, Zuo Han was more interested in his other identity, Xu Jing's lover.
…
After a series of complicated rituals were completed, the main show finally began.
Boxing match.
A total of more than 20 boxers were invited to participate in the competition today, all of them are quite famous boxers, and in the end there was a gold belt boxing champion.
Following the host's introduction, the boxers for the first match came on stage to prepare, and the distinguished guests also took their seats. However, the two main seats, Xu Jing and Zha Nachun, were nowhere to be seen, and they didn't know where they went to discuss other business.
Jiang Xing was only eighteen years old. Seeing that his mother and the congressman had not returned, he felt a little uncomfortable, and he also looked at Zuo Han more and more unpleasantly.
"Mr. Zuo likes Muay Thai?" Jiang Xing was at a loss for words.
Before Zuo Han could answer, Jiang Peng said: "Zuo Han has practiced and is considered an expert."
"Oh? I really can't tell." Jiang Xing's eyes flashed.
Zuo Han said casually: "I usually exercise, but I can't be called an expert."
"Don't be humble." Jiang Peng said, "I saw your skills outside the wine that time."
Jiang Xing rolled his eyes and said, "Since Mr. Zuo understands, how many bets can we make?"
"How to bet?" Zuo Han looked very interested.
Jiang Xing pointed to the ring and said, "How about 200,000 baht per round for each fighter?"
The exchange rate of RMB to Thai baht is about one to five, and two hundred thousand baht is equal to forty thousand yuan.
Zuo Han smiled and said: "The bet is too small, it's boring."
Jiang Xing glanced at Zuo Han unexpectedly and said with great interest: "How much can you say?"
"One million baht per game." Zuo Han seemed to be saying something very ordinary.
Zuo Han's voice was neither loud nor quiet, and many people around him heard it and focused their attention.
One million baht is equivalent to two hundred thousand yuan.
Gambling is prohibited in Thailand, but pornography is not allowed. Gambling is strictly controlled. If you play poker on the street, you will be arrested by the police. However, that is only on the street, and the binding force on the powerful is only superficial.
The people present are either rich or noble, and they usually play a few games, and betting on boxing is commonplace. But it is not common to open a gambling game casually and play such a big game.
Jiang Xing laughed loudly: "Okay, that's it."
Jiang Xing is not worried about Zuo Han defaulting on his debt. If it would be better to default on his debt, then he has just the right to embarrass the Zuo family. For two million yuan in ten games, Jiang Xing really doesn't care.
"The match is about to start. Please place your bets, Mr. Zuo." Jiang Xing said: "It's very fair here. You don't have to worry about fake matches or anything like that."
"Guests are welcome to host." Zuo Han said calmly: "Master Jiang invites you first."
"Okay, then I'll win over Blue." Jiang Xing was not polite and decided on the candidate immediately.
"Then I'll take the red side."
Zuo Han knew Jiang Peng's plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and was willing to give him this opportunity. If the tiger wants to fight too hard, he will be injured even if he watches the tiger.
Seeing Zuo Han defeating the red side, Jiang Xing smiled proudly. At first, he was really afraid that Zuo Han would choose first and get the blue side right.
There is indeed no shady fake match in today's match, but Jiang Xing participated in the selection of the boxers, and he knows their details very clearly. Jiang Xing cannot say who will definitely win, but the boxers he selected have at least an 80% chance of winning.
The gong sounds and the game begins.
Muay Thai matches usually last for five rounds, each round is limited to three minutes, with a two-minute rest in between.
The battle went as Jiang Xing expected. After five rounds, the blue team won with a point advantage, and Zuo Han also lost one million baht.
From then on, until the fifth round, Jiang Xingya's boxers all won. The money Zuo Han lost also accumulated to 5 million baht, which is equivalent to 1 million yuan.
Jiang Xing became more and more proud, while Zuo Han's expression did not change.
But Jiang Peng was a little confused and couldn't guess what medicine was sold in Zuo Han's gourd.
In every game, Zuo Han let Jiang Xing take the lead, undoubtedly giving away the initiative. Even if he didn't understand, if he placed the bet first, he would still have half a chance.
This guy will never sincerely come to give you money today.
As the boxers prepared to take the stage in the sixth round, Zuo Han finally spoke.
"How about I place my bet first?"
"Mr. Zuo is also afraid of losing." Jiang Xing chuckled: "Okay, let's see if you can move back in this round."
A look of disdain also flashed across Jiang Peng's face.
Finally I couldn't bear it anymore.
Zuo Han glanced at the stage and said: "I still beat the red side!"
Jiang Xing's eyes lit up: "Red side?"
"Yes, red square!" Zuo Han confirmed.
"Hahaha! Then I'll beat the blue side!" Jiang Xing couldn't help laughing proudly.
The two young boxers in this match made their debut at the same time. There are a total of eight recorded fights, all of which were won by the blue side. The reason why they were arranged to fight in the first match was purely to use the grudge between the two as a gimmick.
If we were only 80% certain about the previous games, Jiang Xing is 100% sure about this game.
Zuo Han glanced at Jiang Xing and said: "The previous game was too small, how about raising money in this round?"
"Mr. Zuo is trying to make money." Jiang Xing smiled sarcastically and said, "It's okay, the price will be determined by Mr. Zuo."
"I lost five million baht earlier. Since I want to make up for it, this round can naturally be less than that..." Zuo Han seemed to think about it seriously and said casually: "How about ten million baht?"
"Ten million baht?" Jiang Xing was startled and laughed: "Ten million is ten million!"
Ten million baht is two million yuan. Although it's a lot of money, it's not something he can't afford. What's more, he doesn't think he will lose.
The people in the front row were all VIPs, and they had been watching the two bets for a while. Zuo Han kept throwing money away like a prodigal, and they noticed it. Now that the stakes had been raised so much, some people finally couldn't sit still.
.
A middle-aged man said: "You two are having so much fun, can you bring a few more with you?"
Jiang Xing glanced at Zuo Han and said with a sly smile: "It would be nice if there were more people and it would be lively. If you defeat the other side, I will still compensate you if I lose. I just don't know what Mr. Zuo means..."
"I don't care." Zuo Han shrugged.
"good!"
"I'll press the blue side too."
"And I……"
The VIPs in the front row are all very wealthy, and many of them can afford to bet 10 million baht. What's more, they also know the strength of the boxers on the stage. Why don't they participate in such a gambling game that is sure to make money without losing any money? Jiang Xing was eaten in front of him.
With so much meat, it's time for everyone to have soup together.
In just a few minutes, more than ten people placed bets. Zuo Han was the only one betting on the red side.
Jiang Peng looked at Zuo Han's indifferent face and murmured inexplicably. He pretended to be concerned and reminded: "Mr. Zuo, think twice, the stakes in this game have exceeded 100 million. If you lose, you have to pay 150 million."
Wantai Zhu."
A distinguished guest suddenly said: "Yes, this amount is not small."
Others also talked a lot.
"It's only 30 million yuan." Zuo Han smiled lightly: "I can afford the compensation."
