No one spoke. Except for Shen Yunguang who slowly lowered his already numb arm, no one made any movement. The room was silent. Zhao Xi and Wu Bing looked at each other, with nothing on their faces. expression.
Shen Yunguang slowly lowered his head. Suddenly, he pounded his fists on the gambling table and shouted hysterically:
"No! I won't give in. I won't lose, I will never lose!"
Zhao Xi slowly sat back in the chair, picked up a cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled the smoke and said:
"Mr. Shen, winning or losing is a common thing for gamblers. If you lose now, you may be able to win it back later."
"Yes, you are right, let's keep coming." Shen Yunguang suddenly realized.
"No problem. As long as Mr. Shen has money, I will stay with you today. But we have agreed that I will return to Hazhou after dawn."
"Here? Boss Zhao, can you lend me some money? I'll give you interest, high interest!" Shen Yunguang said.
"Haha, why did Mr. Shen forget? We can't borrow money from each other."
"Then, what should I do? There is no place to withdraw money in the middle of the night."
"Then forget it, just stay here today, I'll come back later, and then we'll bet again."
"No, no, how can that be done? I haven't had enough fun today."
"But Mr. Shen, you have no money anymore."
Shen Yunguang turned his head and looked at the two huge empty boxes behind him, then looked at the lights on the road outside the window, and suddenly said happily:
"I, I have a big hotel that can be mortgaged."
"Haha, Mr. Shen, a mortgage is also a loan. We can't break the rules, don't you think so, Boss Wu?" Zhao Xi turned to Wu Bing and asked.
"Oh, Boss Zhao, why are you so serious? It's just for fun. No one has lost everything yet. Let's not talk about it. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, just be happy. If you are having such a good time, don't be unhappy in the end." Wu Bing said.
"Yes, yes, Boss Wu is right, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, just be happy." Shen Yunguang said quickly.
"You two, Mr. Shen said that the hotel should be used as a mortgage, but you said that you can't borrow money. I think it's better to do this. Don't write a loan agreement, just a sale agreement. Mr. Shen sells the hotel to you, and you give the money to Mr. Shen. You guys keep playing. This is the best of both worlds."
"Well, why do I need a hotel? I'm just a gambler, unlike Mr. Shen, who is an entrepreneur." Zhao Xi objected.
"Oh, you are so stupid. When the bet is over later, you return the hotel sale agreement to Mr. Shen, and Mr. Shen will return the money to you. Otherwise, it's all over. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, just be happy." Wu Bing said.
"Yes, yes, Boss Wu has a good idea. Haha, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, just be happy." Shen Yunguang said excitedly.
"Okay, but who will write this agreement?" Zhao Xi looked at Shen Yunguang in embarrassment.
"Yes." Shen Yunguang turned to Wu Bing and said:
"Why don't we trouble Boss Wu?"
"Oh, you two old men are so annoying. You have to ask me to scout you just to make a bet. Well, I'll write it for you."
There was ready-made paper and pen in the room. Boss Wu lay on the table and started writing. She said while writing:
"You two should discuss how much this hotel will cost?"
Shen Yunguang and Zhao Xi looked at each other, each considered for a while, and then Shen Yunguang said:
"My hotel has 200 rooms, a dance hall and a karaoke room. No matter how bad it is, it has to be sold for 5 million."
"I said Mr. Shen, you really want to sell the hotel. Don't think about how much money I have here. Even if I give you all the money, it won't be enough for 5 million. Besides, if you have all the money, what am I going to do with it?" Yeah?" Zhao Xi said.
After hearing what Zhao Xi said, Shen Yunguang felt that it made sense. If he had to pay all the money, how could he win Zhao Xi's money? No, I have to order less, so that I can win more. Thinking of this, he said:
"Let's do this. You have a total of 4.1 million in your hand. Each of us will take half. I will take 2.1 million and give you the remaining 2 million. How about that?"
Zhao Xi shook his head, smiled again and said:
"Okay, okay, since Mr. Shen said so, let's just write it like this. It's just a formality anyway. I'll return the hotel to Mr. Shen at dawn."
Wu Bing's agreement was written quickly. Shen Yunguang only read it briefly. After he saw clearly that the amount was 2.1 million, he refused to read any more and picked up a pen to sign his signature on it. The names were fingerprinted. Zhao Xi acted more casually. He took the agreement and signed it without even looking at it, and fingerprinted it.
The gambling game continued, during which Wu Bing went out for a while to order food for everyone.
The battle situation slowly transitioned from anxiety to clarity. The banknotes in front of Shen Yunguang were getting less and less, while the banknotes in front of Zhao Xi were getting more and more. Beads of sweat began to appear on Shen Yunguang's forehead, in order to toss the coin smoothly. , he had to frequently wipe his sweaty hands on his body.
This time Zhao Xi did not take the method of increasing the bet. He deliberately reduced the amount of bets each time. He did not want to irritate Shen Yunguang anymore and wanted the gambling game to end in a peaceful state as much as possible.
Shen Yunguang lost 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and he didn't feel bad about losing. But every time he lost money, it was like digging into his heart with a knife. What he hurt was not the money, but his gambling luck. Damn it! Impossible, I can definitely win it back, I can definitely do it.
When Shen Yunguang only had one hundred thousand yuan left in front of him, Shen Yunguang suddenly went crazy. He pushed the money to the center of the gambling table and said:
"I'm all-in."
This time it was Zhao Xi's turn to take charge. When he saw Shen Yunguang betting one hundred thousand, his heart was in his throat. The color of fish belly was already rising outside the window, and the sun was already ready to move under the sea. He glanced at Tang Hui , picked up the coins on the table.
Shen Yunguang won this time. He won one hundred thousand yuan in one go, and the banknotes in front of him immediately became fuller. It was Shen Yunguang's turn to take the banker. He believed that his fortune had begun, and he easily picked up the banknote. Coin, holding it in hand and saying:
"Come on, Boss Zhao, how much do you bet?"
Zhao Xi's face sank this time, he pushed a lot of banknotes up and said:
"200,000."
"Okay! It's better to come here and have fun."
Shen Yunguang, who had just won 100,000 yuan, was full of confidence. He flicked the coin into the air lightly, then caught it with two palms elegantly. He stretched it out in front of Zhao Xi and said:
"Boss Zhao, let's take a guess."
The corners of Zhao Xi's mouth turned up slightly, he glanced at Wu Bing who was sitting opposite him, and softly uttered one word from his mouth:
"flower."
Shen Yunguang snorted confidently, turned to look at Zhao Xi and then at Wu Bing, and then opened the palm covering it with a smile.
"Ah!" Shen Yunguang exclaimed in surprise. The coin in his palm turned out to be upside down.
"Hahaha, Mr. Shen, you lost again." This time Zhao Xi no longer concealed his inner ecstasy, laughed loudly, stood up and said:
