"This is 300 million chips. Please open it and count it. If there are no problems, please sign this agreement to avoid any disputes later."
Manager Wang ordered several of his subordinates to carry three boxes of chips for each person, and then ordered one of his subordinates to place a newly printed agreement in front of everyone, and then waved his hand to drive away the subordinates.
Got out.
Naturally, Zhang Hongjun would not refuse the three villains who came to his door. Not only did he not refuse, he also invited Wu Laosan and another person to participate, but they both shook their heads and refused.
The other person was one of the four people who played cards with Zhang Hongjun before Chen Ran and Wu Laosan came. This person is a middle-aged man. It can be seen that he is also very tempted by such a bet, but after all, 300 million is not
It was a small amount, and he was an official. His participation in such a large gambling game would have too much impact if word spread about it, so although he was tempted, he still cautiously refused.
With the participation of Hou Yong, Chen Yongsheng and Balding, the betting funds increased from the 600 million gambled by Chen Ran and Zhang Hongjun to 1.5 billion.
After coming up with this number, not to mention Manager Xue Leiwang was shocked, even Zhang Hongjun, Hou Yong and others who participated in it were also shocked. You must know that although they are addicted to gambling, they are not good at playing.
At most, it's only tens of millions. Not to mention them, it's the big gamblers in Hong Kong and Macao. The largest gambling funds they have ever heard of are around 100 or 200 million, and their current gambling funds are
It actually reached 1.5 billion.
1.5 billion... sounds really scary.
Chen Yongsheng and Baldhead are different from Hou Yong. Hou Yong is a gambler, and the two of them only regard gambling as a pastime but have little gambling addiction. Although they are excited at this moment, they still feel a little regretful and worried.
Uneasy, the gamble was really too big, but when they thought that if they could win, the 1.5 billion would suddenly become theirs, their regrets and uneasiness would disappear.
Hou Yong is a standard gambler. Generally speaking, gamblers have a strong sense of luck. They always feel that if they lost in the last round, they should win this one. Hou Yong obviously has such a mentality at this moment, but even so
, but facing a huge amount of 1.5 billion, he obviously did not dare to be careless, and his attitude became obviously more cautious, but his excitement and excitement at this moment can be seen from his suppressed eyes.
Hou Yong was obviously not the only one whose eyes became eager, but the others' expressions were not as obvious as his. However, although it was not as obvious as him, it was still easy to see that something was wrong in everyone's eyes.
This can also be noticed from the atmosphere at the scene.
Chen Ran was also shocked at first. His original intention was to use "gamble" to force Zhang Hongjun to hand over Yuan's father, but he did not expect that it would eventually turn into a huge bet involving a total of 1.5 billion.
Faced with such a huge sum of money, Chen Ran would undoubtedly be lying if he said he was not moved or jealous. You must know that since he woke up, he has been thinking about what he should do to get Xiaoyu's family to agree to let the two of them agree.
When people are together, even if they don't agree, they must at least compromise and agree.
The first thing Chen Ran thought about was becoming an official. According to what Chen Ran knew about the Wu family's background, this path was undoubtedly the one that would make the Wu family change their minds the most. However, for Chen Ran, this path obviously did not work.
It's not suitable for him. Let's not talk about whether he can do it well, just that he can't afford to wait for time.
In addition to being an official, there is another way to join the army. Now that Chen Ran is protected by Chief Yang, joining the army is undoubtedly very suitable. However, joining the army and being an official are the same. It is obviously not possible to get ahead in just a few years.
After thinking about it, doing business is the best for him, but it is obviously not possible to do a small business. If you want to do a big business, you need to have enough capital. Not to mention the jewelry company that Sister Huiyao helped him open at home is waiting for him.
He invested money to open the business, but he himself had no money to spend.
If when he went to Huadu, Chen Ran's wish was just to open a jade shop, then obviously a jade shop can no longer satisfy him. If he wants to open one, he should open the largest one, and it is the largest in the country. This is Chen Ran's current goal.
desire.
If you want to open the largest jewelry company in the country, the funds required will undoubtedly be not a small amount.
If it was only tens of millions or one or two hundred million, he could still make money by picking up antiques or gambling on stones. But if it was more, it would obviously be difficult. After all, even if he had superpowers, he would still be able to make money from it.
There are not so many antiques for him to pick up and miss.
Although gambling on stones is better, it is impossible for him to make more than a billion in one gamble. After all, the winning stone last time was hard to come by.
If you just rely on picking up leaks or gambling on stones to accumulate funds, it will obviously take a long time.
But what Chen Ran lacks most now is time.
For Chen Ran, the 1.5 billion in front of him is undoubtedly a timely help. With these 1.5 billion, he can save a lot of time.
So facing the 1.5 billion in funds, Chen Ran was also very jealous. Originally, he was worried that the other party would check the money first, but what he didn't expect was that Chen Yongsheng and Balding Huang Jiguang took the initiative to help him solve this problem.
Three hundred million dollars is not a small amount of money, and it cannot be withdrawn at once, so Chen Yongsheng, Huang Jiguang and Zhang Hongjun both proposed to advance the chips and then transfer the money directly to the winner's account after the gambling game was over.
Zhang Hongjun had no objection at all to their request, and readily agreed. Several of them were people of high status. Although three hundred million was a lot, it was not enough to make a mistake, and he was not afraid that someone would make a mistake.
Chen Ran naturally had no objections. In the end, all five people used their chips, but they had to sign an agreement. The club is a place for recreation and entertainment, so they were naturally well prepared for gambling.
After Manager Wang took the agreement and asked Hou Yong and Chen Yongsheng to sign it, he placed the agreement in front of Chen Ran. Manager Wang's attitude towards Chen Ran was obviously different from before. Not to mention that he already knew about Wu Laosan.
Given his status, just saying that Chen Ran dared to participate in such a big gambling game was enough for him to treat him politely.
Chen Ran picked up the agreement and looked at it first. The agreement was very detailed, including the funds, people, time, and location involved. However, if someone who didn't know the inside story read it, they probably wouldn't be able to tell that it was gambling money.
, which roughly means that five people jointly contributed 1.5 billion to invest in a certain project. The 1.5 billion funds were completely spent from Kyoto Investment Co., Ltd., but within a certain period of time, the five people had to invest this 1.5 billion.
The money is returned to the investment company.
There are two places to sign, one is personal and the other is shared by five people.
"Wait a minute." Although Chen Ran didn't know whether this agreement was legally binding, since everyone else had signed it, it meant it was still effective, so he didn't hesitate. However, just when he was about to sign, he was suddenly
Interrupted.
The person who interrupted Chen Ran was none other than Zhang Hongjun.
After Zhang Hongjun interrupted Chen Ran, he first laughed a few times, then looked at Chen Ran and said with a bit of sarcasm: "You really take yourself seriously, who knows you, an unknown boy who came out of this house?"
You, your signature is of fucking use!"
Hearing what Zhang Hongjun said, Hou Yong, Chen Yongsheng and others immediately looked at Chen Ran. Although they were not afraid of Chen Ran's miscalculation, what Zhang Hongjun said made sense.
Huang Jiguang also glanced at Chen Ran, but then he followed Zhang Hongjun's gaze and looked at Wu Laosan.
"Third brother, since my name is worthless, just sign it for me. If I win, I will give you hundreds of millions of dollars." Chen Ran was not a fool. He saw Zhang Hongjun staring at Wu intentionally or unintentionally.
Lao San, he understood what the other party meant. Obviously, the other party not only wanted to win money, but also wanted to set a trap for Wu Lao San. If he won, it would be fine. If he lost, he would take out the money on the spot.
That's okay, but if he can't take it out, then there is no doubt that... the other party must be hoping that he can't take it out, but with his special ability, he is confident that he can still win, so he sneered in his heart and followed the other party's wishes.
.
Being repeatedly despised and turned against by Zhang Hongjun, Chen Ran had already been holding back his anger. If at first he simply wanted Zhang Hongjun to hand over Yuan's father, now he obviously had more than that on his mind.
By this time, Hou Yong and the others had almost guessed the identity of Wu Laosan. The only family in the capital that could be called Lao Wu was probably that family. Now that they heard Chen Ran say this, they saw Zhang Hongjun staring at Wu Laosan again.
That weird look in his eyes naturally guessed Zhang Hongjun's intention.
Guessing Zhang Hongjun's intention, they remained calm on the surface, but they took a breath of air in their hearts. If they really followed Zhang Hongjun's wishes, then the old Wu family would not be as simple as making a big joke, and they would not be suppressed by the above.
That's weird, at least for a while I won't be able to get ahead.
I never heard that Zhang Hongjun, a boy who didn't want to deal with the old Wu family, actually used such cruel tricks.
But I just don’t know if Mr. Wu will sign it. After all, this is the kid in front of me betting.
Wu Laosan was naturally not stupid. He saw that Zhang Hongjun wanted to set him up, and his expression became even more gloomy.
"Old Wu..."
Xue Lei's expression changed, and he hurriedly called out to Wu Laosan in a low voice to tell him not to sign. He knew that Wu Laosan was just a playboy who liked to eat, drink, and have fun. It was possible to have tens of millions on hand, but just a few hundred million.
It may not be possible, not to mention that Wu Laosan was kicked out. Although it is easy to turn over several hundred million with Wu Laosan's status, if he actually signs this, there will be more places for people to make a fuss.
As for whether Chen Ran can come up with the money, it is not within the scope of his consideration. Who knows whether Chen Ran and Zhang Hongjun have colluded long ago. Even if not, who can guarantee that Chen Ran will not betray or act recklessly?
, this is too risky.
Although Xue Lei looked down on Wu Laosan, he didn't want to watch Wu Laosan being tricked.
It's a pity that Wu Laosan ignored him at all. He stared at Zhang Hongjun with a sullen face for a while, then stepped forward and signed his name on the agreement and took his fingerprints.
Seeing Wu Laosan signing so simply, not to mention Hou Yong and Huang Jiguang were surprised, even Zhang Hongjun was obviously a little surprised. He couldn't help but look at Chen Ran, as if he was surprised by who Chen Ran and Wu Laosan were.
What does it matter, Wu Laosan actually trusts Chen Ran so much.
After Wu Laosan signed, he glanced at Chen Ran and then stood aside with his arms crossed. Naturally, he didn't sign because he trusted Chen Ran, but he dared to sign because he trusted his little sister.
Although the bet with Zhang Hongjun was negotiated by Chen Ran, Wu Laosan did not want Chen Ran to bet. He always wanted to bet with Zhang Hongjun himself. First, he felt that it was his own business. Second, he thought it was his own business.
It was still his superior mentality that caused him to unconsciously regard himself as the leader of his group. The general meaning was that Chen Ran was just his follower, and he was the one who really made the decision, so even though it was Chen Ran
It was negotiated, but he took it for granted that he had made a bet with Zhang Hongjun.
What he didn't expect was that his little sister, Xiaoyu, called just now.
Xiaoyu called Chen Ran, but at that time Chen Ran was talking to the other party about the involvement of Hou Yong and the other three. When he saw that it was Xiaoyu who called, he gave the call to Wu Laosan. After Wu Laosan answered it, he simply
After mentioning it to Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu told Wu Laosan that he would listen to Chen Ran in everything, and also said that Chen Ran was good at gambling and that Chen Ran would definitely win if he asked her to gamble.
Although Wu Laosan was a little surprised, he trusted his sister's words. In addition, he knew almost nothing about this aspect, so even though he was tempted, he thought about it and listened to his sister's words.
Chen Ran was not too surprised that Wu Laosan signed so straightforwardly. He handed the call from Xiaoyu to Wu Laosan to answer. The purpose of the call was to ask Xiaoyu to reveal something to Wu Laosan, so as to avoid Wu Laosan waiting later.
Stop himself, which is why he is sure that Wu Laosan will sign.
"Wait a minute." When Wu Laosan signed the agreement and Manager Wang was about to give it to Huang Jiguang, Chen Ran suddenly reached out and held down the agreement to stop Manager Wang's movement. After everyone looked over, he
He looked up at Zhang Hongjun and hummed: "Brother Jun, right? Can we let him go now?"
Zhang Hongjun was stunned for a moment, but then he understood that Chen Ran was talking about old man Yuan. He naturally valued the gambling game in front of him more than a bad old man, so when he heard Chen Ran say this, he squinted and stood aside.
The landlady, the policewoman who had remained silent, glanced at her and turned to Manager Wang and nodded.
With Zhang Hongjun's nod, Manager Wang naturally obeyed the order, turned around, glanced at the policewoman and the landlady, and left.
"Officer Yuan, please take Mr. Yuan... Mr. Yuan back first." Not to mention that Zhang Hongjun couldn't take care of the female police landlord at this moment. Even Wu Laosan obviously lost his initial mood. When he saw Manager Wang, he went to take someone with him.
He said to the female police landlord in a deep voice.
It's just that the female police landlord didn't say a word or turn around. Instead, she bit her lip and looked at Zhang Hongjun, then at Chen Ran. Her lips moved several times as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, and her expression was not that good.
Very nice.
Chen Ran looked at her and didn't know what to say, but it was obviously not the time to say more in this situation, so after sighing in his heart, he nodded secretly to her, thinking that he would come again next time.
I went to see her when I got to the capital, but I don't know what her condition is now.
The female police landlord bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before finally turning around and following Manager Wang out.
After seeing the policewoman landlord leave, Chen Ran pushed the agreement directly to Huang Jiguang, who was sitting next to him. Huang Jiguang didn't waste any time. He just glanced at it and signed his name, and then Zhang Hongjun also signed the same.
Got the word.
After signing the agreement, the gambling game began. Although the gambling game has just begun or even not yet started, facing such a big gamble, everyone still looks like they are swaying freely on the surface, but they are obviously worried in their hearts.
