Under the night, there was singing and dancing on the cruise ship.
Those who play cards, those who sing, those who dance, those who pick up girls.
There is a beautiful woman specially invited by the host of this private party on the cruise ship.
A large group of beauties, at least hundreds of them.
And if based on the appearance fee of a beautiful woman of about 3,000 for two or three days, then these hundreds of people can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, plus the unlimited supply of high-quality drinks on the ship, as well as various entertainment measures, and
The total cost of sailing a cruise ship like this is at least several million dollars.
For such a private party, the owner of the cruise ship spent a lot of money and thought.
Zhao Gangjun had no interest in this kind of so-called private party before, because this kind of party was basically a waste of money. But after he chatted with some big businessmen present, he discovered that this private party was very important to the host who hosted it.
Generally speaking, the benefits are definitely more than what you see on the surface.
The profits generated by the so-called private casino alone in the past few days must be at least several million U.S. dollars, and if you add the infield, the amount is really uncertain. Of course, the gambling in the infield is different from the gambling in the outside.
There is basically no dealer in the infield, just like Joe Anthony, Angela and others playing cards. If you want to play, you can sit down and play by yourself. The dealer will provide you with all the props you can think of, and then the dealer will take a 5% commission.
This 5% may be 0, because no one often gambles in the field, or it may be several million dollars, because sometimes the bet for a game is tens of millions.
Apart from these, this private party provided many people with the opportunity to make friends, such as people like Zhao Gangjun. They made friends with people they would never have contact with at ordinary times. In such a relatively closed space, it is very likely that they will develop very deep friendships.
friendship.
Just imagine.
Sunshine, cruise ship, bikini beauties.
What better way to make friends than in this situation?
Zhao Gangjun was holding a goblet in his hand, smiling and chatting with the people in the field, while observing his surroundings.
After a long time, Zhao Gangjun asked, "Mr. Powell, isn't he here?"
Powell is naturally the owner of the cruise ship.
"That guy Powell doesn't show up very often."
A real estate tycoon said with a smile, "He is very mysterious. Sometimes he won't show up after a party, and sometimes he will hang out in front of you for several days. He is a magical person."
"
"oh?"
Zhao Gangjun originally had no interest in the host of this party, but now that he heard people talking like this, Zhao Gangjun's curiosity was somewhat piqued.
"Mr. Powell, what do you do?" Zhao Gangjun asked.
"Don't you know Mr. Powell?"
A man in the aquaculture business next to him asked in surprise.
"I just got to know Mr. Powell today." Zhao Gangrong smiled shyly.
"Oh, that's right."
The fishery boss nodded and said, "You are not from Seattle, so it is normal that you don't know Mr. Powell. Mr. Powell is the most amazing person in our whole Seattle. His business is very big, and there are more than 100 people in the entire United States.
One-fifth of all civilian ships are produced by Mr. Powell's company. Of course, compared to those big families, such as Rockefeller and Morgan, Mr. Powell is not so conspicuous, but he is definitely one of the most successful businessmen in the United States.
You know, he doesn’t have that much capital behind him. It is said that he was just a small gangster before he was twelve years old. Later, when he encountered the economic depression, he bought a shipyard at a very small price, and then he started his business.
The ship business has developed to this day."
Zhao Gangjun was slightly surprised. You must know that in a place like the United States, personal success is not impossible, but in the process of success, such people will often be won over by major powerful capitals and become the spokesperson of these capitals. If you
If you don't want to rely on any capital, but just rely on yourself, it will be very difficult. When those strong capitals cannot win over you, they will most likely use their unique advantages to annex you.
For example, if you are in the computer business, you have developed a very advanced computer, and they have the capital to come to you and say that as long as you join them, your computer can be promoted as quickly as possible. If you refuse them, then it is very likely that your computer
If you can't sell even one, they have no way to stop you from manufacturing computers, but they have many ways to block your sales channels.
When the time comes, you won’t even be able to eat, so how can you continue to research? So your only way is to get into the arms of a certain capital.
Therefore, in the United States, if a person wants to become a dominant figure without relying on any power or capital, it is definitely no less difficult than for a hunter to become a Z-level hunter on his own.
And Powell, the organizer of this party, is such a person.
Zhao Gangjun drank wine slowly while listening to people telling some legends about Powell.
If this Powell is really what the people present say, he is definitely a genius. This kind of person is definitely worthy of taking the initiative to associate with him.
While Zhao Gangjun was chatting with someone, a fat man walked into the infield.
Zhao Gangjun met this fat man when he was playing dice outside. He was the one who lost hundreds of thousands without blushing and out of breath.
The fat man came in with a man with black hair and yellow skin.
The fat man's face was slightly arrogant, while the other man's face was joking.
The two men walked straight to the infield supervisor and whispered something.
The infield manager nodded, then walked to a table and started setting it up.
"Someone is going to start gambling!"
The real estate tycoon's eyes lit up and he said, "This fat man is really rich."
"Who is this?" Zhao Gangjun asked.
"I don't know, he seems to be a Chinese who studied in Seattle. I met this guy at the last party. That time he got stuck in the infield and lost more than two thousand."
said the real estate tycoon.
Zhao Gangjun naturally knew that the so-called more than two thousand means more than twenty million. He was slightly surprised. There were not many Chinese people studying in Seattle. Although most of them were rich, they could export more than two thousand at will.
Thousands of people are really not many.
"What is this man's name?" Zhao Gangjun asked.
"His name is Lu Xiaobu."
The boss of the aquaculture business on the side said, "This man is really rich. I have heard that his family seems to be an official in your country."
"Lu Xiaobu?!"
Zhao Gangjun frowned slightly. Lu was not a common surname. There were not many people with the surname Lu in China's official circles, and it seemed that only one person could easily export more than 20 million!
Zhao Gangjun said sorry to everyone present, then walked aside, picked up the phone and wanted to make a call, but found that his mobile phone had no signal.
Zhao Gangjun was not surprised. It was normal to have no signal at sea.
Zhao Gangjun opened the encrypted channel on his mobile phone. Under normal circumstances, this kind of encrypted channel is supported by specialized satellites, and the acceptable signal range is much larger than ordinary signals. However, Zhao Gangjun found that there was still no signal!
Zhao Gangjun's pupils condensed slightly.
In this case, the only explanation is that someone blocked all signals.
It is actually normal for this kind of private party to block mobile phone signals, because there are many important people on this cruise ship, and the all-pervasive paparazzi may be lurking in the cruise ship, so after blocking the signal, the privacy here can be ensured.
Zhao Gangjun walked back to the crowd and asked, "Every time we go to sea, will the cruise ship block the signal?"
"Normally, it won't happen, but if someone gets the news and an eyesore comes in, it will happen."
As the real estate tycoon spoke, he picked up his phone and looked at it, and then said in surprise, "There is no signal. Is there any unsightly person coming in today?"
"Don't worry about it, it's just a trivial matter. Go take a look over there." The aquatic product owner pointed to Lu Xiaobu's side, and then took the lead and walked over.
Zhao Gangjun also walked over.
Lu Xiaobu was sitting on a chair. The man sitting opposite him was both very short and had a very strange face. He should be Japanese.
Sure enough, the man confirmed Zhao Gangjun's thoughts as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Mr. Lu Xiaobu, do you really want to bet against me? I am a master of gambling." The man said with a smile.
"Humph, Ozawa, I've been unhappy with you for a long time. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you really don't know who your grandfather is!" Lu Xiaobu said proudly.
The Japanese man named Ozawa laughed and said, "Hahaha, my grandfather? My grandfather is not something someone like you can be."
"Stop talking nonsense and let's get started."
Lu Xiaobu waved his hand and the dealer began to deal the cards.
The two of them played the simplest game of fried gold.
According to Powell's original rules, no gambling is prohibited on his gambling table. In other words, as long as you have the ability, no matter how much you gamble, if you are caught, you will not win at the gambling table.
Everything needs to be returned to the loser, and at the same time, you have to pay the corresponding amount to Powell.
To put it simply, do whatever you want at the gambling table, and don’t expose your flaws. If you’re not technically proficient, don’t imitate others.
Of course, Powell swore to God that his casino would not help anyone cheat.
If discovered, Powell would give the entire cruise ship to the other party.
Zhao Gangjun stood not far behind Lu Xiaobu.
Lu Xiaobu took three cards.
The biggest one is the King of Clubs, and the other two are small cards of different suits.
This hand is not a big one.
However, Ozawa's cards were probably not that big, and he decisively threw away his cards after following two hands.
The first one was taken down by Lu Xiaobu.
Soon, the second session started.
The two of them were relatively conservative in the first few games. After only two games, a blonde girl came to Lu Xiaobu's side. This person seemed to be Lu Xiaobu's woman. She stood behind Lu Xiaobu and gently
He massaged Lu Xiaobu's shoulders, and Lu Xiaobu seemed to have good luck. He got pretty good cards in the first few games, and in less than ten minutes, he won more than one million.
