Chapter 0394 – Things Go Big
“Good, then let’s bet on Stud. I hope the antiques that Dr. Shu has brought won’t disappoint me, if I don’t see eye to eye, I’m sorry, the bet won’t take place.”
After gambling for half a day without any skill in shaking colors, to be honest, Zhuang Rui had long been tired of it, but when he heard that Shu Wen wanted to bet on pokies, his eyes lit up for a moment, although Zhuang Rui had never gambled on pokies, but back then, after he watched that God of Gamblers movie, he purposely went to check out the pokies’ betting method as well as the rules, so he wasn’t unfamiliar with betting on pokies.
Stud, also known as sand crab, is a kind of poker game. The arrangement and combination of five cards determines the winner. At the beginning of the game, each player will be dealt a base card (this card can only be turned over at the end), when the second card is dealt, it will be decided by the person with the better card to bet, others have the right to choose to ‘call’, ‘raise’, give up or clear the bottom when the five cards are dealt, each player turns over all the base cards. When the five cards have been dealt out, each player turns over all of his or her cards for comparison.
Before the cards are dealt, each player must pay the mandatory ante. Each player is then dealt two face down base cards and one face up clear card, the player with the smallest clear card must pay the initial ante, which is usually half of a small bet or sometimes a whole small bet, if two players have the same sized door card then the suits are in upward order to determine who pays, in the order of Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts, Spades.
Five-card stud game, the most widely circulated in China and Hong Kong and Taiwan, because this gambling method is easy to get started, confrontational, both skills and a certain amount of luck, stud masters must have a good memory, comprehensive judgment, calm analysis ability plus a little luck.
And the real winners of the pokies, do not use the Yinren playing method is very few, after all, relying on luck there is no always winning generals, of course, Zhuang Rui exception, but he is still very interested in those Yinren skills.
Zhuang Rui was now already imagining what kind of situation it would be if the so-called gambling skillful people invited by Shu Wen by that time, used small cards to swindle himself, anyway, he could see the other party’s bottom card, as long as his hand is not so bad that he loses the bottom bet, tomorrow’s bet will be a sure win for himself.
“Good, Mr. Zhuang, what I bring tomorrow, will definitely not let you down, so now I will take my leave.”
Seeing that the matter was settled, Shu Wen stood up and greeted Zheng Hua before getting up to take his leave. He had arrived by helicopter, and now he had to return to Hong Kong for a meeting, as for the gambling matter, he had already asked the Macau Gambling King for the manpower, so naturally he didn’t have to worry about it.
But exactly what kind of antiques should be taken out for Zhuang Rui to be satisfied, Shu Wen was a little unsure in his heart, after walking out of the gambling hall, Shu Wen said to a person beside him, “Go and check the origin of this person called Zhuang Rui, and see if he is proficient in antiques.”
When the old ship king was alive, there were still more dealings with the mainland, and even now, there is a certain network of relationships that exists, Shu Wen and his party had just walked to the tarmac of the gambling ship, when they received the information that was fed back from the mainland.
“Eh? Ouyang Gang’s grandson, proficient in gambling stones, current director of the Jade Association, proficient in ceramics and bronze type antiques, was an invited expert in TV treasure appraisal ……”
Shu Wen looked at the text message on his cell phone. Kind of can’t believe that Zhuang Rui is so young, actually proficient in so many, but the previous intention to find a few forgeries to make up the number of the mind is dispelled, in case it is recognized by Zhuang Rui, that person can be a big loss.
“Auntie, are we leaving like this? We can’t spare that kid!”
Niu Hong in the helicopter said with a reluctant face after seeing Shu Wen come up, in his opinion, this matter is likely to be just let go.
“Haven’t you caused enough trouble? Go away! Come back tomorrow, I invited the Macau King of Gamblers to have a bet with him tomorrow, but win or lose, you have to stay by your aunt’s side for a month, you are not allowed to run around, do you hear me?!”
Shu Wen glanced at Niu Hong, the heart is also full of helplessness, the old father-in-law’s full grandson, how they have to take care of a little, just this kid is really not competitive, on the family industry know nothing about, all day long know to play with women gambling, on the other hand, their wives are still the most spoiled him.
Although Shu Wen has the intention to hand over the old ship king’s business to Niu Hong’s hands, but this kid is simply a can’t help up the a doo, he can only put his own son and daughter to cultivate up to take over his own class.
“Good, as long as you can get out of this breath, how can I.”
When Niu Hong heard that his aunt had invited the Macau King of Gamblers, he was overjoyed in his heart. That King of Gamblers has several people around him, all of whom have participated in the King of Gamblers Competition held in Las Vegas, and one of them has also won the title of King of Gamblers, using him to deal with Zhuang Rui, Niu Hong seems to be able to see Zhuang Rui’s losing bird’s egg appearance.
Stay in the gambling hall box Zhuang Rui, their opponent tomorrow is what people, is not the slightest interest, from the Shu Wen put forward the suggestion of gambling, has been doomed to the result, Zhuang Rui is now concerned about, Shu Wen in the end can come up with what kind of bets, if the real and these antique pieces of objects that are not far apart, that Zhuang Rui this time but earned a lot.
After getting the casino issued by the Swiss bank bearer’s check, Zhuang Rui took Qin Xuan Bing to the gambling ship’s French restaurant, enjoy a candlelight meal, well comforted their stomach, and then accompanied Qin Xuan Bing in the gambling ship to see a cabaret, which returned to the room.
“Zhuang Rui, how come you’re not worried at all about tomorrow’s gambling game?”
Qin Xuan Bing pulled Zhuang Rui to watch a cabaret opera just to let him relax and not be too nervous, but on the contrary, the one who was nervous was herself. Zhuang Rui was just like a nobody.
“What’s there to be nervous about? The big deal is to lose those antiques back, wife, you don’t know, I’ve been blessed by the living Buddha, who’s luck can be as good as mine!”
Zhuang Rui pulled Qin Xuan Bing sat on the sofa, buried his face into the other side of the chest where the towering, caused Qin Xuan Bing body a tremor, want to push away Zhuang Rui, but feel limp and powerless.
“Honey, haven’t taken a bath yet!” Qin Xuan Bing’s almost moaning voice rang out.
“I’ll carry you to wash.” Zhuang Rui was happy to take a mandarin duck bath, so he immediately picked up Qin Xuan Bing with his hands horizontally. Toward the bathroom.
“Come to the phone, come to the phone!”
Just has not walked up two steps, Zhuang Rui pants pocket phone rang, followed by Qin Xuan Bing’s that kun bag, also remembered the ringtone of the cell phone.
“Come on, answer the phone!”
Zhuang Rui cried and laughed Qin Xuan Bing put down, fortunately this is not into the bathroom, otherwise if the arrow on the string when to come so out, may let their own small dd male wind no longer.
“Hey, I say five ah! You go to Hong Kong this trip, the movement is not small ah! Actually want to bet against those people in the cow family, even grandpa knows, right, grandpa now lives in your four courtyard, do you want to talk to him?”
Come to Hong Kong for a few days, full of ears to hear the bird language, at first listen to the words of Ouyang Jun, it is quite intimate, only the content of these words let Zhuang Rui startled, how did this matter alarmed Grandpa ah?
Zhuang Rui does not know, today’s matter has been in Hong Kong rich and powerful circle set off a storm, and the old man knows this matter, is the Hong Kong and Macao Office of the director of the Wang reported up, for one thing, the old ship king back in the day and the mainland high level relationship is good, and the second Zhuang Rui is the general’s grandson, so this matter someone directly informed to the old man.
“Fourth brother, I won’t talk to grandpa, I’ll tell you ah! The reason why I agreed to that foreigner’s bet is because he has a lot of precious cultural relics in his hands that were snatched from China in the past when the Eight-Power Allied Forces were in place, we, as sons and daughters of China, can’t watch these objects fall into the hands of foreigners in any case, can we? Fourth brother, do you think I’m right?”
Zhuang Rui did not know what the old man’s attitude towards this matter, he knew that the old man is not very cold to foreigners. Right now on the phone, he was picking out the good things to say, almost like he was a great hero for the country and the people.
“Oh, so that’s how it is, don’t worry about the bet! Back to me to say hello, they do not dare to come out of what tricks, or I let two warships in the name of the play to the high seas ……”
The phone was silent for a while, suddenly rang Ouyang Gang’s voice, scared Zhuang Rui almost did not throw the phone out, but fortunately the old man actually did not get angry, but also gave him a pep talk, which makes Zhuang Rui surprise inexplicable, with the old man this sentence, those cheating tricks played in the movie, tomorrow should not appear.
“Grandpa, don’t worry, I will let those foreigners lose tomorrow, we are also considered to be for the country’s glory, right?” Hearing that the old man is in a good mood, Zhuang Rui poor up on the phone.
“Well, your grandfather I was born more than ten years late, or else the Eight-Power Allied Forces that will, Grandpa and they fight for their lives, boy, gambling lost don’t come back, your grandfather I can’t afford to lose this person ……”
The old man said this, let Zhuang Rui straight want to laugh, your old man is born earlier on more than ten years, then I’m afraid is also wearing crotch pants, what to go and other people fight for their lives ah! However, Zhuang Rui mouth or even promised, and listened to the old man for a while “think of the years” and other grandiose words, only to hang up the phone.
“Xuan Bing, why are you looking at me like this? Who called you just now?”
After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Rui turned back and saw Qin Xuan Bing standing behind himself with an odd expression on his face.
“My father called, Zhuang Rui, this thing is going to be a big deal tomorrow.”
Once Zhuang Rui heard that it was this, he immediately smiled and said, “What are you afraid of! My grandpa knows about it too, he called me just now, don’t worry, the other party won’t dare to make a dirty move.”
“It’s not this, it’s that tomorrow my daddy and mommy, and many others are going to come to the scene to watch your bet.”
Qin Xuan Bing got anxious, now Hong Kong Island has been boiling, but anyone with a bit of status is trying to find a way to enter the gambling ship to watch this bet tomorrow.
