Chapter 896 Duel with the Gambling King (Part 1)
…
A middle-aged man in a suit, a red bow tie, and meticulously combed hair walked to the center of the venue with a wireless microphone in his hand, and then said: "Welcome to the Lisboa Hotel tonight. Today we will witness a huge event in the history of Macau."
The biggest lucky bet! The two parties involved are Mr. Steve Ruane, who has won three consecutive Gambling King Competitions and is ranked third in the world’s gambling king rankings!”
As the host finished speaking, a tall and thin white man wearing black trousers and a white shirt stood up. After the man stood up, he stretched out his hand to hold his eyes. There was a hint of wisdom in his eyes, but more importantly, he was confident!
"...and Mr. Liu Dong, who made a huge gambling sum last night!"
Hearing his name, Liu Dong also stood up. ∽↗∽↗,
"Welcome you two!"
Immediately, the audience burst into thunderous applause. After the applause stopped, the host continued: "Now please come forward and take your seats!"
After patting Wang Qiang's jade hand and telling her not to worry, Liu Dong strode to the center of the field facing the attention of everyone. At this time, Steve Luen also happened to come over. Originally, Liu Dong wanted to go up and fight.
He wanted to say hello, but looking at this foreigner, his nostrils were pointing upward and he looked arrogant. Liu Dong immediately gave up the idea!
You are arrogant and I am more arrogant than you! You are arrogant and I am even more arrogant than you!
Eat soft things and not hard things. This is Liu Dong!
Perhaps seeing the two people's inability to deal with each other, the host immediately gave up the idea of letting the two communicate with each other and directly asked them to sit in their respective seats.
"Now please take out your respective bets. We will provide the best lawyers and investment experts to evaluate and ensure that both parties in this bet are absolutely fair!"
After the host finished speaking, Liu Dong waved, and Peng Yuan, who was waiting next to him, immediately ran over and handed the password box in his hand to Liu Dong. After Liu Dong opened it, he took out the 15.7% equity certificate of Cathay Pacific Airways.
Book!
Because Lijia's bet was in U.S. dollars, there was no need to evaluate it. However, because the shares in Liu Dong's hands were worth more than 400 million U.S. dollars, and the remaining fraction was more than 10 million, so after communicating with Lijia and obtaining Liu Dong's consent,
The bets between the two parties were balanced. Liu Dong added more than 30 million U.S. dollars to the 15.7% equity stake in Cathay Pacific, making a total of 450 million U.S. dollars!
After adjusting the bets, the Lisboa Casino brought enough chips for both parties. Still, the chips Liu Dong saw yesterday each represented 1 million U.S. dollars. Many people may not make as much money in their lifetime as this small one.
There are many chips, but today they are only the smallest units on the gaming table!
Seeing the chips stacked up like a mountain, everyone realized that this huge gamble that would cause a sensation in Hong Kong and Macao was about to begin!
"Mr. Liang Hongjian, who is now the technical director of Lisboa Casino, is also the croupier of this gambling game!"
Then, a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing black trousers and a white shirt tucked into his waist strode out amidst the applause and cheers of the crowd.
"Hello everyone, I am Lisboa Casino Technical Director Liang Hongjian. I am very happy to be the dealer of this gambling game tonight. I guarantee that what you will see tonight is a fair and just game! Thank you!"
After finishing speaking, Liang Hongjian walked to his seat and put on his white gloves!
"Thank you Mr. Liang Hongjian, we also believe that he can bring us a wonderful gambling game!"
After finishing speaking, the host walked down with the wireless microphone!
"You two, I will preside over this gambling game. There will be two opportunities to rest in the middle. Only one party who loses all their chips will be allowed to withdraw, and this gambling game is over! If a cheater is discovered, just press the button to give up automatically.
All the chips go to the other party! Are you two okay?"
"No!" Steve Ruen shook his head.
"Me neither!" Liu Dongyi said.
"Okay, now let me reiterate to you two the rules of the stud game!" Liang Hongjian said.
In fact, both of them know the rules of stud, but there are differences in the rules of stud depending on the region, so they must be reiterated before the gambling game begins.
But this is Macau, so stud is still five-card stud, not seven-card stud! The rest of the rules are no different from what Liu Dong knows!
So after Liang Hongjian finished speaking, neither of them expressed any doubts!
"If both parties have no objections, as the dealer of this game, I will announce the start of the gambling game?"
"etc!"
Facing the questioning looks from the two men, Liu Dong stood up.
"I have something else!"
After finishing speaking, Liu Dong walked up to Wang Qiang without waiting for Liang Hongjian to speak, stretched out his right hand, and said affectionately: "Come on, Sister Wang, I will be with you today!"
Hearing this, Wang Qiang's pretty face, which was originally filled with a hint of worry and anxiety, suddenly burst into a bright smile, like a peony blooming in the sun, and people couldn't help but be intoxicated by it.
However, Wang Qiang only had eyes for her lover in front of her, so she put her beautiful hand into the other person's generous palm, then slowly stood up, let Liu Dong hold his hand, and walked to the stool on the left side of Liu Dong's seat next to the gaming table.
He sat down again.
"There is a beautiful woman in the southern country who left the world behind and died. She can charm the city with her smile, and the country with her smile again! Such a beautiful woman is really rare in the world! If she can enjoy her for one night, even death will be enough! But it is a pity that she has already died.
The famous woman has her husband!" A middle-aged man sitting in the front row, wearing a black suit and gold-rimmed glasses, looked at Wang Qiang and said with admiration.
"Death is enough? Mr. Xu often boasts that hundreds of flowers can pass through him without leaving a single leaf on his body. Did he change his gender today?"
Xu Jinheng glanced at the fat man next to him with disgust. They had conflicts over women not once or twice!
Seeing that the other party had a sullen face and said nothing, Liu Luanxiong chuckled and said nothing more! In the whole of Xiangjiang, who didn't know that he and Xu Jinheng didn't deal with each other!
Both Ge and Yin are veterans of the flower industry, and most of the beautiful stars in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong have been involved in scandals with them. However, Liu Luanxiong is better in comparison, because he started from scratch, unlike Xu Jinheng who has a family to control him.
Therefore, Liu Luanxiong, who can make decisions by himself, is also very generous in pursuing women. He often gives away luxury cars and mansions, which is naturally easier to impress people. Because of this, he has also won the nickname of "Actress Sniper"!
"But all those women combined can't compare to her!" Thinking of this, Liu Luanxiong looked at Wang Qiang with greed in his eyes. As for Liu Dong next to him, he consciously ignored him!
Feeling the unscrupulous prying eyes around him, Liu Dong smiled carelessly. Now he has enough ability to protect his woman from harm! So he doesn't care about these people!
After Wang Qiang sat next to him, Liu Dong said to the dealer, who still had a look of surprise on his face: "Okay, I have no problem!"
Liang Hongjian reacted to Liu Dong's voice prompts and glanced at Liu Dong with envy. He took a deep breath to eliminate all the strange emotions in his mind, and then said loudly: "Now I announce the start of this gambling game!"
As Liang Hongjian finished speaking, Steve Luen, who was still looking at Wang Qiang unscrupulously, immediately calmed down, and his original piggy look was gone!
"It seems that there is a reason why these two people are successful in their respective fields!" After seeing the two people's calm efforts, Liu Dong also felt a little admired!
At this time, Liang Hongjian had already taken out a new deck of playing cards. After unpacking them, he picked out the big and small kings, and then said: "Now please check the cards!"
After Liang Hongjian finished speaking, Steve Luen was not polite, stood up directly, walked over and started checking the cards, but Liu Dong discovered that this guy was also quickly memorizing the order of the cards while checking the cards!
"I'm fine!" Steve Ruhn nodded after just a few seconds.
As a gambling king, excellent memory is a must. Even though the time was short, he had already memorized the rough sequence of the deck of cards!
Later, from the way the dealer shuffles the cards, he can roughly infer the approximate position of the card. Although it is not very accurate, it is still much better than relying on luck alone!
And this is the trick summarized by Steve Ruane on Stud!
"Mr. Liu...!"
"I don't need to check the cards!" Liu Dong waved his hand.
With the relic Yuan Guang present, he is innately invincible, so why waste his efforts!
"Proud and arrogant Chinese!" After muttering something in English, Steve Luen looked at Liu Dong with even more contempt in his eyes!
Wang Qiang, who was sitting next to Liu Dong, was hesitant to speak. However, she knew Liu Dong and knew that he would not do this if he was not sure. Therefore, despite some worries in her heart, Wang Qiang still chose to support Liu Dong.
decision.
Liang Hongjian was also a little surprised that Liu Dong didn't check the cards. After all, any veteran in the casino knew that card checking was the only opportunity to touch the entire deck of cards, and it was also an opportunity to increase his winning rate in the first few rounds. Basically,
No one will give up.
But since Liu Dong gave up, Liang Hongjian didn't say much! He is the dealer and maintains the fairness of the gambling game, not Liu Dong's friend, so he can provide care at any time!
After the card verification process was completed, Liang Hongjian began to quickly cut the cards!
Being able to become the technical director of the Lisboa Casino, Liang Hongjian is also an expert in the gambling industry, so he also has his own set of shuffling techniques that can disrupt the order of all cards to the greatest extent!
But looking at Steve Luen's pupils that shrank into small points and swayed rapidly following the movements of Liang Hongjian's hands, as well as the serious look on his face, Liu Dong smiled!
Originally, he wanted to make some noise to attract Steve Luen's attention and disrupt his rhythm of counting cards, but after thinking about it, Liu Dong gave up!
"It's good to give him a little more confidence, so that he can press more!" Liu Dong thought. (To be continued...)
