? After opening a small private room for tea and sitting down, Liu Zhao took out a lockable velvet bag from his handbag and placed it on the coffee table. However, Xu Qing had no intention of reaching out for it. He didn't understand the other party's intention before he came.
I won't touch this pack of shiny stones.
"Mr. Xu Qing, since we are all Chinese, there is no need to beat around the bush. General Chaku wants you to participate in a gambling game on his behalf and defeat all opponents. These diamonds are not a reward for you, they can only be given to you from
Part of the remuneration..." At this point, he deliberately paused for two seconds before slowly spitting out two words: "Sample!"
Liu Zhao's speaking voice is ups and downs, with a strong sense of rhythm, which makes people feel a little depressed, but they can't help but listen to it. This may also be a kind of charm of language.
Xu Qing calmly picked up the small cloth bag with the lock and weighed it: "Can it be understood that General Chaku is planning to use several diamond mines as reward to ask me to take action?"
Of course, a pack of diamonds as a sample could not have been picked up from the river bed. Apart from the rich natural resources, Xu Qing could not think of anything else that was most attractive about South Africa. At least he was not interested in African women with dark skin and white teeth.
.
Liu Zhao smiled and gave a thumbs up: "When I returned to China, I heard something said by General Chaku. It makes sense today when I think about it."
"Huh?" Xu Qing opened the lock on the bag and slowly poured the diamonds inside onto the coffee table.
Liu Zhao thought to himself and said: "General Chaku said that smart people are not necessarily kings of gambling, but kings of gambling must be smart people. It should be the easiest to deal with smart people."
Xu Qing picked up a diamond and put it in the palm of his hand. It was hard to imagine that the ingredients of this thing and coal were both carbon, but their values were quite different. He suddenly thought of a sentence, the value of life is the same as diamonds or coal.
The key lies in how to face pressure. If you withstand it, you will be brilliant one day, otherwise, you may always be dim and ordinary.
"Do you think of me as a smart person?" Xu Qing, who was looking down at the diamonds, suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Zhao in front of him with a half-smile.
Liu Zhao's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Excuse me, what do you mean by this?"
Xu Qing slowly put the diamonds in his hand into the small bag together with those on the coffee table, and asked: "Do you know how many diamonds there are in this bag?"
Liu Zhao raised the corner of his mouth and said: "A total of one hundred and eight." He was responsible for screening and bagging these diamonds before they were brought here. He counted the number more than once, so there was no way he could be wrong.
Xu Qing locked the bag with a smile and asked: "Are you sure? Why don't we make a bet? If the number of diamonds in the bag is one hundred and eight, I won't want any of these diamonds, and I will give away another one of equal value.
US dollars, but if there are less than one hundred and eight diamonds in it, the diamonds stay and you leave immediately."
After saying that, he stretched out his palm and slapped the bag empty. Tsk! The small bag filled with diamonds seemed to be pushed by an invisible force. It slid on the surface of the coffee table, moved horizontally about a foot, and stopped in the center of the coffee table.
Liu Zhao shaved his eyebrows, but the skin on his brow bone clearly moved a few times. He prided himself on being extremely intelligent and did not dare to accept this bet, because the young man opposite him was the famous gambling king of Southeast Asia.
There was no chance of winning in a bet with him, not to mention that Liu Zhao just didn't see clearly whether he had hidden a diamond.
"This is a pointless bet, because there is no way I can win against you." Liu Zhao calmly rejected Xu Qing's request. He knew the purpose of his trip very well, and at the same time he also experienced firsthand what it means to be a worthy scholar under a prestigious reputation.
, the young gambling king in front of me is indeed not simple.
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Actually, there are still 1,808 diamonds in it. I believe you have counted this number more than once, but you can't be sure of its number after you have passed it through my hands. Everything on the gambling table is
It’s possible, how can you ask me to defeat all my opponents?”
Liu Zhao suddenly realized it and said to himself, good boy, you are beating me in a roundabout way! Indeed, no one at the gambling table can say that he will win or lose, and the conditions just mentioned are a bit too much.
"I can't accept these diamonds because no one at the gambling table can guarantee defeat of all opponents. You can tell General Chaku that Xu Qing deserves it."
To be honest, Xu Qing didn't want to participate in any gambling game, unless there was a reason to attract him to participate. Liu Zhao's first words made him feel very uncomfortable. How many coal mines are under pressure? Are they awesome? I don't care.
Liu Zhao was not a fool. He immediately realized the crux of the problem. He had indeed spoken too much just now. General Chaku actually only said two sentences before sending him back to the country. No matter what method he used, he must ask Xu Qing to gamble.
Wang participates in the World Gambling King Competition, and as long as the other party has conditions (4), he will agree.
At first, Liu Zhao, who was one of the members of General Chaku's think tank, thought that the conditions he offered were a bit too much. For a gambler, he could not offer such generous conditions. A package of diamonds plus two diamond mines, I believe no one would
Can resist this temptation.
Liu Zhao, who thought he knew the Chinese very well, miscalculated. Only now did he realize that the other party would not be tempted by this small amount of property. Before returning to China, he made a promise in front of General Chaku Moben. If this matter was messed up, the consequences would be disastrous.
.
By the way, Liu Zhao is not a military strategist, but he was a surgeon when China sent a medical team to assist South Africa. He has a set of dart skills passed down from his family, which can be said to be shooting here and there. By chance, he met a big man who was dominating the country at that time.
At that time, the warlord General Chaku Moben was in a fierce battle with another warlord's army. Liu Zhao, who was a little clever, took advantage of the general's visit to the wounded soldiers to propose a few ideas borrowed from Sun Tzu's Art of War, but he was lucky.
A member of General Chaku's brain trust.
The most successful thing about General Chakumoben was not his bravery and proficiency in fighting, but his ability to know people and make good use of them. He spent a lot of money to set up a think tank of nearly fifty people. Those who were lucky enough to join it were all outstanding people. This group of people came from all over the world.
There are even some people with special abilities in various places.
The reason why Liu Zhao was able to join the think tank was not only because of his useful brain, but also because he had a dart that was highly praised by General Chaku. His annual salary was enough to work as an ordinary doctor for a hundred years, and he also had unparalleled power within the general's sphere of influence.
Respecting status was something he couldn't give up. He thought about it for a while and put on a very sincere expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. I now solemnly apologize to you for what I just said. The location of the gambling game you are invited to participate in this time is in Las Vegas. It also has extraordinary significance for you because it also has another
A name resounding all over the world, the World Gambling King Competition!"
