Cao Mo and Shen Ji were dragging each other in the office hall. Ding Zhaoqiang opened the door of the conference room, stood tall and tall at the door, and said loudly,
"I met Mr. Qian and Ge Jun today. I mentioned that you and Shen Ji came to Chonghai today. We happened to be bored, so we came over to eat Jiang Xian..."
He still wanted to give Ding Zhaoqiang some face, so Cao Mo spread his hands and said that whatever Ding Zhaoqiang said would count.
"Everyone come in and sit down together to learn about the construction progress of our Dongsheng project in Chonghai. If you are interested in buying a few more apartments, it will be a show of support for Dongsheng..." Ding Zhaoqiang had a smile on his face and invited everyone to come in. Go to the conference room.
Tian Zhen and Su Xiu were confused. Chairman Ding Zhaoqiang is really here for Cao Mo?
Ding Zhaoqiang stood at the door of the conference room to welcome everyone in, and finally motioned to Su Xiu, and Tian Zhen followed him into the conference room.
Tian Zhen walked into the conference room. She and Su Xiuxian stood carefully at the door looking for the seats where they should sit. They saw that in front of the long oval conference table, Dong Chengpeng was giving Cao a seat next to Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun. Mo sat down.
In addition to the Ding family, Dongsheng has two more important investors, but the investment in Dongsheng is mainly financial. In addition to occupying seats on the board of directors, Dongsheng does not usually participate in management. Dong Chengpeng is actually equivalent to the third-in-command in the entire group. Chen Rong's status is higher.
Dong Chengpeng gave up his seat, and the people on his left made room one after another, including a seat for Shen Ji. Fortunately, all this has long been a formal etiquette in China, and everything seemed to be in order.
After Tian Zhen returned to work in China, he understood all these rules. The scene in front of him showed that even if Cao Mo did not have the matching status and identity, he must have a close relationship with Qian Wenhan of Xinhong and Ge Jun of Dongjiang Securities. Only with their close relationship could Dong Chengpeng take the initiative to give up the seats next to Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun to Cao Mo.
"Chen Fan, tell Cao Mo and the others about the Ziying Lake project from the beginning..." Ding Zhaoqiang sat down and told Chen Fan who was standing in front of the projector.
From the moment he saw the chairman personally going to the door of the conference room to invite Cao Mo and the others, Chen Fan's head was buzzing - of course he had heard of Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun, and he also knew that the chairman had invited these two great masters to the project. What is the ministry's intention, but does this have anything to do with Cao Mo, who drove a Passat and Shen Ji to Chonghai to eat and drink?
Chen Fan had no idea who Cao Mo was. Following Ding Zhaoqiang's instructions, Chen Fan hurriedly flipped back the PPT on his computer with his assistant.
"Mr. Qian and Mr. Ge have been listening for a long time. I am just a tool today. There is no need to trouble Mr. Chen to explain it to me in vain and harm Mr. Qian. Mr. Ge will listen to it again from the beginning." Cao Mo He interrupted, "Mr. Chen, just continue talking..."
"You also know that you want us to hear it all in vain. Where did you go just now?" Qian Wenhan asked Cao Mo with a smile.
"Shen Ji asked me to come to Chonghai for a vacation, so I really thought it was a vacation. I didn't expect Mr. Ding to trick you here," Cao Mo said, "otherwise I wouldn't have stopped at the marketing center in a well-behaved manner. I’ll welcome you at the gate.”
"Let me say it again, it's still early for dinner," Ding Zhaoqiang saw that Chen Fan was at a loss, so he emphasized again, and joked with Cao Mo, "Don't be lazy and want to be lazy. It's not that easy to take advantage of my meal... "
Cao Mo said, "If Assistant Xu hadn't introduced the beauty to Mr. Qian and Mr. Ge, it would have been harder for everyone to doze off..."
"Xu Xin, do you know about the Ziying Lake project?" Ding Zhaoqiang asked Xu Xin because he was wrong and had nothing to do with Cao Mo.
Xu Xin glanced at Cao Mo with resentment and poked the notebook a few times with the pen in her hand.
Zhou Han and Song Yuqing did not sit at the conference table, but sat in the second circle of seats. She raised her foot and kicked Cao Mo's seat, otherwise she would have been careful not to tease other women in front of Song Yuqing and her. .
"Let me tell you..." Seeing that Xu Xin might not be particularly familiar with the Ziying Lake project, Shen Ji happened to have done some homework in the past few days and stepped forward to come to the rescue.
Dongsheng's Ziying Lake project is located on the northeast side of Chonghai Industrial Park and the southeast side of the main urban area of Chonghai.
Initially, Chonghai's urban expansion focus was on the northwest side. The industrial park in the south was planned to be developed in the direction of Ziying Lake based on the original urban construction and built into a sub-city center of Chonghai.
After Chonghai's new municipal party committee came to power, they proposed a new idea of expanding the urban space to the southeast and fully integrating into Xinhai. The key development direction of the main urban area was changed from north to south, and the positioning specifications of the Ziying Lake area were suddenly raised a lot.
Dongsheng's Ziying Lake project will initially invest in the construction of Chonghai International Convention and Exhibition Center, Chonghai International Conference Center, Ziying Lake Dongdi Commercial Street, Chonghai National Fitness Center (new gymnasium), International Trade Building, Ziying Lake International A series of commercial, office, cultural and sports facilities such as a large hotel, as well as a high-end residential community of 2,000 acres on the east bank of Ziying Lake.
The investment in the entire project is unprecedented for Dongsheng Real Estate, and this is just one aspect.
What's more important is that Dongsheng Real Estate previously developed single projects, but this time it is carrying out regional comprehensive development, and the specifications are particularly high.
Only after completing this project can Dongsheng be qualified to join the ranks of domestic first-class real estate developers.
Shen Ji's eloquence is naturally first-class. He has done his homework and has a deep understanding of the Ziying Lake project. He introduced the project in an orderly manner. At this time, through the glass window, he can see the setting sun shining on the thousands of hectares of Ziying Lake. .
Ziying Lake, which covers an area of eight square kilometers, is not a super large lake. However, if the city center of Chonghai expands to the east coast of Ziying Lake, Ziying Lake will become a lake in Chonghai's city. Any city with Such a body of water is a rare geographical resource.
From this point of view, everyone can understand why Ding Zhaoqiang has such great ambitions.
This project is really rare for Dongsheng, who has the ambition to become China's first-class real estate developer. It can also be said that it is an opportunity that is difficult to come back if it is missed once.
Therefore, no matter how stringent the Chonghai Municipal Government has put forward in terms of development and construction specifications and time limits, Ding Zhaoqiang can only bear the burden - and since Chonghai City regards this as the top priority of the city's southern expansion, it will not Perhaps sitting back and watching Dongsheng build the land will only continue to urge Dongsheng to invest a lot of money.
As a result, Dongsheng is under greater financial pressure; Dongsheng has far more real estate projects under construction at the same time than this one.
Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun had heard Shen Ji's introduction. Apart from a few compliments, they did not show any particular interest.
We are all calculating and shrewd people. This project is the fat that Dongsheng has already eaten. Now Ding Zhaoqiang is asking them for funds. This is true, but the key is how much fat will Ding Zhaoqiang spit out for them?
It was almost dark at this time, and it was too late to visit various project construction sites. Ding Zhaoqiang invited everyone to stay in Chonghai today. After coming out of the marketing center, the group rushed to Penghua Resort Hotel for dinner, and accommodation was also arranged. There.
Penghua Resort Hotel is in good condition, but it is far away from Chonghai city. It is very quiet after nightfall, and can even be said to be secluded.
Ding Zhaoqiang and Qian Wenhan are all people with status and status. Even if they go to a nightclub, they will be accompanied by themselves. It is impossible for so many people to casually run into the club and book all the girls in the room like nouveau riche.
After dinner, there is nothing boring about simply drinking tea in an empty hall.
"Let's play Texas..." Qian Wenhan was more casual. He didn't drink much. After dinner, it was only half past seven, so he just started a table of cards.
"I've encountered something these past few days and I'm not in a good mood. That's why Shen Ji dragged me to Chonghai to relax. Mr. Qian is determined to drag me to the gambling table. The poker style may become more fierce later, right?" Cao Mo asked Qian Wenhan jokingly, "Mr. Ding and the others are novices in playing Texas Hold'em. I'm embarrassed to bully them, but Mr. Qian and Mr. Ge are veterans, so I won't show mercy..."
"It's a small gamble for Yiqing, and I won't bet my fortune with you. How can you be so fierce?" Qian Wenhan said with a smile.
"I also heard that you are very good at playing cards in Kanem. Today is just a good time for us to see..." Ding Zhaoqiang asked Chen Fan, "Is there a suitable place here?"
During the meal, Chen Fan was the main company at the branch office. Su Xiu was Song Yuqing's aunt, and she knew Cao Mo and Shen Ji, so of course they stayed. Although Ding Zhaoqiang and Qian Wenhan had many entourages around them, They were all customers, so Chen Fan brought his assistant and Tian Zhen down to start.
Qian Wenhan and Ding Zhaoqiang said they wanted to play Texas Hold'em poker. Although the Penghua Resort Hotel did not have a standard card table, the chips and poker cards were all ready. They went directly to the villa building where they stayed and cleared out the long cypress tea table in the tea room. As a card table.
After nightfall, there are only dim street lights in the large garden of the resort hotel. The scenic spots outside are all dark, and there is no place to go shopping. Song Yuqing, Wu Yunling, and Zhou Han are here for vacation themselves and do not need to work like other accompanying people. The staff avoided it, so they just watched a group of people playing cards in the tea room.
Qian Wenhan asked his assistant to bring a box of good cigars from the car. He sat down on the card table and handed out all the cigars. He looked at several girls and asked, "Which one of you will be the dealer?"
Song Yuqing, Wu Yunling, and Su Xiu didn't even understand the rules of Texas. Zhou Han sat down at the poker table, picked up the playing cards, and asked Qian Wenhan with a smile: "I'll deal the cards. Mr. Qian will lose to Cao Mo later. You won’t suspect that I colluded with him to make cards, right?”
"With so many of us staring at you, you must be able to play cards, you are really good at it!" Qian Wenhan laughed.
Chen Fan knew that he was not qualified to serve at the table, so he argued with Tian Zhen over tea and water. He was responsible for the logistics support - Ding Zhaoqiang, Dong Chengpeng, Chen Zhi, Shen Ji, Ge Jun and others sat down respectively.
Shen Ji also honestly rushed to sit in Cao Mo's house: "Although I have never lost to Cao Mo, I still sit in the house, and there is not so much psychological pressure..."
Calling and betting in Texas Hold'em involves a strong psychological confrontation. Generally speaking, no one is willing to take advantage of the master.
"You're sitting in my house, it's more like the three of us teamed up to defraud Mr. Ding, and the money is theirs..." Cao Mo took the cigar cutter and said with a smile.
If Han Shaorong hadn't set up a trap before and Ding Zhaoqiang had stood by and watched what happened, Cao Mo wouldn't have taken it seriously if Ding Zhaoqiang took advantage of him today. But today, especially after what happened to his brother-in-law, he felt really unhappy.
Cao Mo couldn't look down on Ding Zhaoqiang, but that didn't mean he couldn't win Ding Zhaoqiang's money at the card table; he also had no intention of letting go of Dong Chengpeng and Chen Zhi.
Of course, he couldn't act like he was particularly targeting Ding Zhaoqiang, Dong Chengpeng, and Chen Zhi, so he had to win everyone's money at the poker table.
Cao Mo was stable for a few rounds first, and once he had some chip advantage, his playing style became fierce. His almost telepathic intuition was like cheating on the Texas Hold'em poker table, and Cao Mo himself was proficient in the rules of Texas Hold'em.
, is good at counting cards, divides three by five and divides by two, and within an hour, all the chips on the poker table have been cleared at least once.
"Why don't you write the check first, and then I will distribute the chips to you. I'm really afraid that you will default on the bill at the end of the game..." Cao Mo rearranged the chips on the table into seven piles and looked left and right at Qian Wen.
Han, Ding Zhaoqiang and the others.
"You are a world-class professional, so what's the point of us playing with you?"
Qian Wenhan was the last to have his chips cleared. Before him, Chen Zhi and Dong Chengpeng were cleared by Cao Mo in two rounds. Although in Qian Wenhan's eyes, one hundred thousand yuan was a trivial amount of money, he didn't care about it at all.
He didn't understand why Cao Mo had emptied his chips so quickly, and he felt depressed. He immediately suggested that Cao Mo be kicked out of the game and not play with him anymore, saying,
"You have defrauded us of more than 800,000 yuan, so you should be satisfied - you can just deal the cards now and let us have fun. It feels so boring to have no chance of winning against you."
"I'm going to be the croupier and let Zhou Han play with you? Her level is a bit lower than mine, so she shouldn't be able to defraud you of too much money." Cao Mo asked with a smile.
"It's okay to let Xiao Zhou do it for you. I don't believe it. How can you just produce two top professional players?" Qian Wenhan usually likes Texas Hold'em poker, and Ge Jun has a quasi-professional level. The two of them are
He often goes to Macau to play cards, and occasionally invites a few professional players to experience his skill as a master, but he is far from being as evil as Cao Mo shows.
Qian Wenhan really didn't believe that Zhou Han had such uncanny card skills.
Cao Mo stood up, replaced Zhou Han and sat across the tea table as the croupier, responsible for dealing the cards and counting the chips...
…………
…………
Except for Wu Yunling who sat directly next to Shen Ji, Song Yuqing and Su Xiu all sat behind Zhou Han to watch the cards; Tian Zhen had no chance to serve tea and water, so he also stood on this side to watch the cards.
At this time, when they saw Cao Mo sitting over and dealing cards even less skillfully than Zhou Han, Tian Zhen and Su Xiu were still shocked by the magnificence with which he had just stood opposite and emptied other people's chips.
Although they don't usually gamble, after watching it for a while, they could still understand the basic rules of Texas Hold'em, and they could see that Cao Mo was overwhelming everyone present with his precise poker skills or very special psychological tactics.
To be honest, if it weren't for Qian Wenhan and Ding Zhaoqiang, they would have no objection at all. Tian Zhen and Su Xiuzhen suspected that Cao Mo and Zhou Han were teaming up to play cards using techniques they couldn't understand. It felt like gambling skills that could only be seen on TV.
In Cao Mo's hands, he showed it vividly.
It's no wonder that Qian Wenhan and the others are not willing to play with Cao Mo anymore. A dozen or two hundred thousand is really insignificant money to them, but the feeling of being completely crushed is not what characters like them are willing to enjoy.
They are all people with strong rationality. Generally, at this time, they will take the initiative to terminate the game.
Su Xiu didn't have a good impression of Cao Mo. She was sitting behind Zhou Han just now. At this time, Zhou Han changed seats with Cao Mo. She didn't act like she was close to Cao Mo, so she stood up and walked over to Cao Mo.
Move your hands and feet a little in front of the side window in the room.
After a while, Song Yuqing also realized that sitting behind Cao Mo was too close, so she stood up and walked over to her aunt.
Su Xiu stood next to the window sill, looked at the card table on the other side, and asked Yuqing in a low voice: "Cao Mo was a professional gambler in Africa? Because he was good at playing cards, he got to know people like Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun?"
"ah?"
Song Yuqing looked at her aunt blankly, wondering where she came to these conclusions, but when it came to the "truth", she didn't dare to reveal anything to her aunt, so she could only say perfunctorily,
"I'm actually not familiar with Cao Mo. When we were at the West Africa branch, I knew he liked playing cards. I don't know if he plays cards professionally..."
"You should stay away from him in the future - this kind of person may look good for a while, but social relations are too complicated. Today he can be the guest of figures like Ding Zhaoqiang and Qian Wenhan, but who knows what will happen to him tomorrow? And him.
Luncheon said that he had been to a detention center before, and his father had been in prison. The family must not be a good person - you said that Chen Rong, the director of your group, was also true. She couldn't find anyone, so why did she get along with this family?
Relationship?" Su Xiu taught Song Yuqing earnestly, "It's still that Zhou Han. I just found out today that she is not a good person either. You are too close to them and you can't compete with them. Be careful of being betrayed by them one day...
"
Where is this going? Song Yuqing complained silently in her heart, pursed her red lips, glanced at Cao Mo who was sitting at the tea table dealing cards in the distance, and whispered in agreement with her aunt: "Oh, I understand."
"By the way, what's going on between you and Zhou Jun? If they really can't get along, they should break up. You are at the best age now, and you can still choose a life partner that you are satisfied with..." Su
Xiu said.
"Don't keep talking about me, talk about you." Song Yuqing muttered.
"Are you talking about me? Don't look at it, aunt. There are a lot of people chasing you now. These people all seem to be successful. But when men reach this age, they all look well-dressed, but their thoughts are too complicated..." Su Xiu
said.
It was impossible for Su Xiu to hide here with Song Yuqing. After whispering for a while, she walked back, but no longer sat behind Cao Mo, but stood slightly further away.
Zhou Han's poker skills may be the best among all the players currently playing.
However, Shen Ji has been playing Texas Hold'em poker with Cao Mo for so long, and his style has to become more steady. He also pays special attention to covering up the signals or flaws that may be revealed unintentionally by his body. At the same time, he is good at counting cards, and his level has improved unknowingly.
A big improvement.
And Ge Jun is also at a quasi-professional level.
However, in addition to Ge Jun and Shen Ji, Qian Wenhan, Ding Zhaoqiang, and Dong Chengpeng and Chen Zhi, who rarely come into contact with Texas Hold'em poker, are really no match for Zhou Han.
It's just that everyone was frightened by Cao Mo's fierce playing style before, and all of a sudden became a tight-handed player - they no longer easily steal the opportunity, or use pretense to scare the opponent, but also work hard to calculate the pot ratio, which is more reasonable.
Bet and don't give your opponents a chance to steal the opportunity. Don't talk about Zhou Han at this time. Even if Cao Mo goes off in person, it will be difficult to empty the chips in their hands casually.
Cao Mo was the only one who enjoyed Cao Mo's overwhelming playing style just now; the others, not to mention Qian Wenhan and Ding Zhaoqiang who were sitting at the card table, even looked at the cards for a long time and felt bored.
In the current poker game, even if Zhou Han has the upper hand, it is still very limited. With confrontation, it will naturally become more exciting.
Su Xiu watched with great interest, and did not forget to gently pinch Yuqing's arm.
Song Yuqing knew that her aunt reminded her that Zhou Han was not a good person, and she couldn't help thinking: What would her aunt's face be like if she knew that Zhou Han had defrauded Taihua Group of 50 million?
Song Yuqing felt a little confused.
When the poker game reached 12 o'clock, Zhou Han also won a small amount of 200,000 chips, which was a good harvest.
No matter what the card game is, Qian Wenhan will support the settlement of chips and will not say in the end that entertainment does not count as money.
"Where did you learn this poker skill?" Qian Wenhan counted his chips and took out his checkbook and asked Cao Mo.
"I just rely on this craft to earn a living. Money always wants to steal my job. This check is not enough!" Cao Mo took the check and flicked it triumphantly, saying with a smile.
Domestic personal check business is very narrow. Qian Wenhan and Ge Jun often play cards and only carry check books with them; Shen Ji and Ge Jun basically kept their balance today. Ding Zhaoqiang took out his check book and directly settled the gambling debts of Dong Chengpeng and Chen Zhi. To Cao Mo and Zhou Han:
"You showed your skills all at once today. It will be difficult for you to defraud us of our money in the future!"
"Mr. Ding doesn't play cards very much. I don't know that people who like playing cards have a saying that they are 'hard to control their skills' - Mr. Qian and Mr. Ge still can't help but ask me to play Texas Hold'em." Cao Mo said.
"Grandma, how can I lose money to you and still be laughed at by you?" Qian Wenhan scolded with a smile.
