Everyone's eyes focused on the black card. On the front of the card was a man wearing a knight's helmet.
"Centurion Black Gold Card?" Caesar picked up the card and rotated it twice on his fingertips, "No, the Centurion Black Gold Card was only issued in 1999, but you boarded Vincent's ship in
Before this time."
The Centurion Black Gold Card is the highest level black gold version of the "Centurion Series Debit Card" launched by American Express in the UK in 1999. Because the main color of the card surface is black, it is also referred to as the "Black Card" by the public.
, Centurion Black Gold Card is recognized as the "King of Cards" in the world. This card is positioned at the top group, with no limit. The cardholders are mostly political figures, billionaires and celebrities from various countries and are invited by American Express.
Online processing is not accepted.
The reason why Caesar knew so much was because he had several real Centurion Black Gold Cards in his family, including those under his name, but they were kept in the hands of his secretary Patsy.
"It's not the Centurion Black Gold Card, but its predecessor was also launched by American Express. However, this card is not unlimited, it has a limit." Chu Tianjiao raised a finger, "You can borrow up to
One billion dollars.”
One billion U.S. dollars. Anyone who heard this figure couldn't help but secretly marvel. You must know that in that era when inflation was not serious, one billion U.S. dollars could buy almost any company in the world, although Lu Mingfei was not born yet at that time.
, but he remembered that when he was in elementary school, his uncle's monthly income was no more than 4,000 yuan... One billion US dollars was more than enough to buy the entire "Yamal" bean.
"After the Centurion Black Gold Card was launched, this kind of anonymous black card has been eliminated. Now it is more valuable to keep as a souvenir, although it can be sold for hundreds of thousands if you meet a favorite collector on the black market.
." As Chu Tianjiao spoke, he noticed the looks in other people's eyes. He quickly waved his hands and explained, "This card is anonymous. The original cardholder is not me, and I borrowed this card, so
Don't look at me like that, I'm not a rich man."
Chu Tianjiao's words are really unconvincing. Although he may not be a wealthy politician with the Centurion Black Gold Card level, his house full of collections, just for those vinyl records, can be packed away and taken away.
If you sell it casually, it is a wealth that an ordinary family cannot accumulate in a lifetime.
"Vincent seemed to be frightened by this card. He held the card tremblingly in his hand, as if he didn't expect me to take out such a black card." Chu Tianjiao said, "He
He carefully checked the authenticity of the card and asked me how much of the remaining balance I could borrow. I told him that there was still one billion U.S. dollars, and one billion U.S. dollars remained untouched. This was my new gambling capital."
"I asked Vincent if he dared to bet me a billion dollars. He was silent for a long time and seemed to be frightened. I could see his hand under the table holding the dealer's thigh. It was originally white
Her flesh turned purple from being pinched by him, but the dealer didn't dare to say anything. She still forced herself to smile, and the old guy was extremely confused." Chu Tianjiao stretched out a finger and said, "I can understand him.
Psychology, that is the greed of human nature. If he can win me one billion in one breath, he will get more than just money, he will win everything from me. He can ask me questions at will, drive me or even enslave me.
, a debt of one billion cannot be paid off by a person in his lifetime, but if he loses, he will lose everything and be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell from the high-ranking emperor of the Arctic Circle."
Not only Chu Tianjiao and Vincent, everyone was frightened by this bet. One billion US dollars was bet in one game. The chips in this game were equivalent to two billion US dollars. I don’t know if this number can be said.
It is the largest in history, but at least few people have heard of it. There are only a handful of gamblers in the world who can spend so much cash as chips in one go.
"The old guy hesitated for a long time, as if he was judging the winning rate in his mind. Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind. He stared into my eyes and told me that this was not a joke. He went to the gambling table, bought it and left.
It's like betting my life and fortune on it. Even if I lose forever, he won't pity me for even one dollar in chips." Chu Tianjiao said, "I smiled at him and said, of course, I still have such rules on the gambling table.
I understand, but I’ll give you the same words. The old guy scolded me in German while winking at his subordinates.”
"Is he planning to do anything at the card table?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Of course, if it's only a hundred thousand or a million, the old guy can still play with me casually, but if the amount reaches one billion, he must ensure that he 'must win' in this game. The old guy thought I couldn't understand German, but
I could clearly hear the cryptic words he used when scolding me, 'get ready', 'it's time', 'close the net'... Obviously these are the words the old guy told his men."
Chu Tianjiao smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. The old guy has his methods, and I also have mine. Soldiers will block it, and water will cover it. My method may not be better than his, but it must be more effective than his."
"My black card was taken away and replaced with black chips. Ten million chips, a full hundred chips, piled up in front of me like a black hill. Of course, Vincent was also replaced with black chips.
The black chips." Chu Tianjiao said, "This is the final round, no one cares about the previous one hundred and one million, we start this round with a base bet of ten million US dollars."
"I remember that according to nationality management, there are limits on the bets on the gambling table." Chu Zihang glanced at Chu Tianjiao, "But you are on the high seas, and this is a private bet. You can't bet like this in private.
People know.”
"No, no, no, card gambling is credible, so it must be done in accordance with international practices." Chu Tianjiao shook his finger, "Besides, I also questioned whether that old guy Vincent still has a billion dollars.
As for the assets, he said that he really couldn’t come up with such a big number at the moment, but he could still borrow them.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Who did he borrow from?" Nono asked.
"To the guests on the boat." Chu Tianjiao said.
"Guest?" Nono frowned slightly, "Who would be willing to lend him a billion dollars?"
"I understand, he wants to borrow chips from every gambling table?" Chu Zihang looked at Chu Tianjiao and asked.
"As expected of my son." Chu Tianjiao nodded, waiting for Chu Zihang to explain Vincent's method of "borrowing money".
"Whether it is a country that bans gambling or a country that legalizes gambling, according to international practice, there will be a certain upper limit for a bet. Once the upper limit is exceeded, it is illegal, but obviously for some super-rich people in the Middle East or Europe and the United States
Guys, this kind of gambling is not exciting enough, so in order to circumvent international legal restrictions on the amount of bets, some giant casinos invented the method of 'drag the table'." Chu Zihang explained to Nono and everyone, "The so-called 'drag the table'
', When it comes to a huge super gambling game, all gaming tables in the entire casino will be temporarily closed, and the upper limit of chips and gambling funds will be temporarily occupied by this super gambling game. The upper limit of a table may only be 10 million.
US dollars, but if there are 100 gaming tables in the casino, the total limit of this gambling game can reach one billion."
"Such super gambling games occur every year in Macau, Zurich and Las Vegas, but the places where this happens are without exception the internationally famous super casinos." Caesar continued Chu Zihang's words, "It's hard to imagine that in
There will be gambling with such exaggerated numbers on a ship."
Only then did everyone have an objective understanding of the hugeness and luxury of the "Yamal". The dangers and rules of this ship must be beyond the human society where ordinary people exist. From the guests to the captain, they are all a group of people.
Outlaws.
"At that time, the whole ship was lit with red lights. I was in the captain's cabin on the 11th floor and I could hear the guests on the deck shouting things like 'God', 'Gosh' and 'Crazy' at the top of their lungs.
Words, they probably rarely see such a super gambling game." Chu Tianjiao recalled, "An electronic screen rose outside the window, and the red and blue characters on the huge screen said two billion respectively.
The unit is $. I looked out the window and the guests were all frightened. Although the casinos outside can play with a gambling amount of millions of dollars, how many people have seen such a huge number with their own eyes?"
Yes, you can feel the shock just by imagining it. Just the zeros following those two numbers are enough to make the number of people dizzy, not to mention the parties sitting on both sides of the gambling table, those who are on that boat.
Gamblers in the world, how excited and excited will they be when they see such a legendary gambling game with their own eyes?
"The dealer carefully dealt out the trump cards of both sides, two each for a total of four. Vincent pressed his right hand on the two cards and took deep breaths repeatedly. My hands were handcuffed, so I just relied on
On the chair, looking at him with a smile." Chu Tianjiao said, "I know that everyone on the whole boat must be paying attention to this bet at this moment, because the electronic screen outside shows that the trump cards of both sides have been dealt simultaneously. I can
I heard some people shouting and some taking deep breaths. When Vincent and I’s total bets of 20 million were thrown into the betting pool, the shouts outside the window were like fans watching the team they supported win the World Cup championship.”
"It sounds like you're not too nervous." Chu Zihang glanced at the man again.
Even Chu Zihang himself would find it difficult to be completely calm in such a gambling game, but listening to Chu Tianjiao's description, he didn't seem to think about his winning or losing at all, as if if he made a mistake, he would only lose a few steel coins or a ball.
A dinner, not a billion dollars and his own life and fortune.
"The one who should be nervous is the old guy opposite me, but he looks quite shocked, but I know he is pretending to be calm." Chu Tianjiao smiled, "Vincent looked at me and said that actually he is the one who holds Texas Hold'em Poker.
He is also good at blackjack and bullfighting. What a coincidence. I don’t play much of these three games, especially Texas Hold’em. What I’m best at is Landlord Dou Zhu.
.”
"I don't know if the old guy believes it or not, but I told the truth and did not frame him. Vincent said he would give me a chance to repent. If I admit my defeat, it will cost me one billion US dollars or two billion US dollars."
All the gambling debts can be written off in one go, and the 50 million I won on the boat can also be kept by myself. But correspondingly, I have to work on his boat for ten years. If I feel that ten years is too long, five years
It's okay, but I want to be his slave wholeheartedly for these five years." Chu Tianjiao rolled his eyes, "The old guy has a good idea. He said that I am still young, and five or ten years are not counted to me.
What, I was still young when I got off the ship, and my time on the ship was not wasted. There was no shortage of everything on the ship, food, wine and women. He said that I would definitely learn a lot, but I shook my head and said that I
Refuse, and I will not make such an offer to him, because the old guys are dying of old age, and I don’t need such old and ugly slaves. The beauties around him look pretty good."
Even Chu Zihang couldn't help but want to roll his eyes. Vincent was asking for trouble. The old guy might be serious, but Chu Tianjiao could piss him off half to death with just a random bad word.
"The old guy was very angry. He said there is a way to heaven and I won't take it. Then he let me see hell." Chu Tianjiao said, "At this time, the dealer's community cards had been dealt out, and the old guy asked me if I dared.
Don’t dare to look at the cards in a hurry and follow him on the blind bet. I asked the old guy how much the blind bet was, and he said 200 million U.S. dollars. I smiled and said that was boring, I’ll just play stud.”
"Stud!" Everyone in the room said in surprise, "Stud in the blind stage!"
"Yes, one billion dollars. I played the game in one go. I didn't need to look at the hole cards, because they were determined after all the hole cards and community cards were dealt out. Unlike 'Schrödinger's cat', no matter if I bet a billion dollars now,
Or bet another billion after the last public card is revealed, and there will be only one result. From the beginning, the outcome of this card game is determined." Chu Tianjiao said in a deep voice, "Of course, those guests on the deck
Their reaction was more intense than yours. I could see the girls hiding in the arms of their male partners, their whole bodies shaking uncontrollably. The men's faces were also flushed with excitement, and their hands were tightly pinching the thighs or legs of their female partners.
On the chest, everyone said that I was crazy because I was betting with the whole boat, and I was betting blindly on a number as big as one billion, but they were jealous of me because I didn’t have the ability or financial resources to play such a thrilling game.
An exciting game.”
"What was Vincent's reaction?" Chu Zihang asked.
"The old guy was also frightened. His hands under the table pinched the dealer's thighs hard. I felt that the woman's thigh meat was about to be pinched off, but I had to admire her psychological quality. The expression on her face was actually a little bit...
There has been no change." Chu Tianjiao said, "The old guy stared at my face and tentatively asked me if I was serious. I nodded calmly, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was the smile of a successful conspiracy.
It was as if he was the hunter and I was the prey, and at this moment I finally fell into the trap he had been preparing so hard.”
