Chapter 0923 – Pie in the Sky
In front of people, Uncle Ming, at this moment in front of the King of Gamblers, but two hands down, eyes looking at the feet of the King of Gamblers, do not dare and that has been the old man of the wind and candles of the old man to look at.
Even the sound of his voice, the old Dutchman was also well controlled, not too loud but just enough for the old King of Gamblers to hear.
“Well, you go ahead! Young man, come and sit.”
The old King of Gamblers was in good spirits today, and after waving his hand at the old bursar, he gestured for Zhuang Rui to sit beside him.
Zhuang Rui saw that Mr. He had supported those two women away as well, and knowing that the other party had something to tell him, he turned his head to look at Peng Fei and said, “Peng Fei, go over there and turn around!”
“Come …… here, eat the fruit.”
He Lao trembled with his right hand, pushed a plate of cleanly washed grapes in front of Zhuang Rui, and his mouth went on to say, “When I was small my mouth liked to eat this, and I could afford to eat it at that time, but then it didn’t work, and there were a few years where I couldn’t afford to buy grapes to eat, and now for me to be able to afford to eat grapes, it’s a very happy thing.”
To the old man in front of him who could be called a living legend, Zhuang Rui was no stranger to his life.
Although the King of Gamblers came from a famous family in Hong Kong, however, his achievements and fame did not rely on the shade of his ancestors, when he was a teenager, his father went bankrupt, his family fell into poverty, and he tasted the world, when he was young, in order to escape from the war, he fled to Macao, and at that time, he only had 10 Hong Kong dollars on his body, and he won millions of dollars by fighting with his bare hands, and by dying nine deaths in one life.
In Hong Kong and Macau, as long as the mention of the word King of Gamblers, everyone knows who is talking about, Mr. Ho controlled assets up to 500 billion Hong Kong dollars huge, personal wealth is up to 70 billion Hong Kong dollars.
In Macao, one-third of the people, directly or indirectly benefited from his company, Macao people call the King of Gamblers “the uncrowned Governor” and “rice class master” is the most powerful, the most profitable, the most famous, the longest reign of the King of Gamblers in the history of Macao’s gaming.
Such a life is full of legend, is worthy of Zhuang Rui respect, and the old man himself is extremely patriotic, refused to Zhuang Rui know, just this year, the King of Gamblers also spent nearly 70 million Hong Kong dollars from abroad, purchased a Yuanmingyuan horse head bronze statue, and will be donated to the country.
See the old man seems to be immersed in the memories of the past, Zhuang Rui did not say anything, just quietly listening, like this walk through nearly a century of years of the old man, every sentence, are its perception of life.
“Hey, when people get old, they like to talk about things that have no boundaries, little guy, get tired of listening, right?”
The old man said the words, suddenly laughed to himself, he had a good life, even now over ninety years old, still in control of that huge financial empire, although he was full of sons and daughters, but there were very few chances to be able to relax so much to talk to someone about his heart.
“Hehe, old sir, it’s not annoying, my grandfather seems to be a few years older than you, and also likes to talk to me.”
For the old people, Zhuang Rui has always been extremely respectful, especially these old people who had witnessed a century of real history, in their minds, there are too many truths that are not known to the world.
Zhuang Rui in and grandpa chat, can often hear some and outside rumors are very different from the historical process, although not learning history, but archaeology and history is related, Zhuang Rui every time to listen to a lot of fun.
So the King of Gamblers just recalled, Zhuang Rui is also listening to the taste, especially in the war years, he ran from Hong Kong to Macao after that period of hardship, let Zhuang Rui listen to quite touching.
Behind every successful person in this world, are experienced a lot of unknown difficulties, other people only see the successful person in front of the bright, but very few people know what kind of trials and tribulations they have endured!
“Your grandfather is a person I admire very much, the old general a military horse, for the country for the people to pay a lot, young man, go back to stay I greet him, there are a lot of years have not seen the old general.”
The King of Gamblers and Zhuang Rui’s grandfather is the same era of people, and their era is still alive in the world, is already a handful of people, talking about Zhuang Rui’s grandfather, the old man is sighing.
“He old man you have also done a lot for the country! The country will not forget.”
Zhuang Rui said with a smile, these old men who are either in high positions of power or business leaders, look majestic, but in fact they are very good to get along with, much better than those small bureaucrats who are not very official but pretend to be an elephant all day long.
“I don’t want to be remembered by people, but I want to have a clear conscience!”
The old man laughed and shook his head, picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth without peeling the skin, after chewing for a few moments, his eyes met Zhuang Rui and said, “Young man, do you know what kind of thing I’m asking you to come for?”
To be honest, the King of Gamblers has seen countless people in his life, and has seen many so-called geniuses, but he has never been able to see through the young man in front of him who has met him a few times.
Say Zhuang Rui was young and tender, right? He favored the age of more than twenty years old, on the bare hands of the billions of dollars of wealth, and also did not rely on any power in the family, which is a lot of people are difficult to reach the height of a lifetime.
Zhuang Rui is mature and stable, right? Sometimes act like a hot-blooded young man, the last time and the king of the boat bet, actually only to win those ancient paintings from China, this time hundreds of millions of dollars of gambling, but also just to give the brother out of anger.
There is a kind of person in this world, acting wildly, but the results are often shocking, the King of Gamblers himself is such a person, at this moment, he also categorized Zhuang Rui and he is the same person.
Let Zhuang Rui to guess the mind of this hundred years of people Rui, is not as good as letting him to dig the mausoleum of the first emperor of Qin to the pain, so Zhuang Rui simply open the door and said: ”Master, you have something, directly to the late generation to say it! As long as it is within the ability of the late generation, I will do it with all my heart.”
Zhuang Rui can also see a little bit of clues, the old King of Gamblers seems to have something to look for himself, see in the old man so old still worry about this gambling on the part of Zhuang Rui does not mind helping the old man once.
Of course, within the scope of ability is the premise, if the old man wants to open the Lisboa Casino to Forty-nine City, Zhuang Rui can not that ability.
“Hehe, you kid is very smart.”
The old man sniffed and looked deeply at Zhuang Rui, seemingly talking to himself, “Ah Ming has been with me since he was twelve years old, he is an orphan, so he followed me with the surname He, when he was eighteen years old, Ah Ming was the best lotter in the casino in Macau at that time, and all these years down the line, almost all of the lotteries in Macau can be counted as his protégées. ”
The old man said some more in one breath, slightly a little short of breath, after a pause, then said: “Just few people know, A-Ming’s gambling skills, but also extremely clever, a deck of playing cards in his hands, almost want to shuffle what kind of deck, can be shuffled out, the little guy, this is not a movie, I said every sentence, are real. ”
“Master, why are you talking to me about this?”
Zhuang Rui was a bit puzzled, how to talk about that old Dutchman for good reason, not to mention he is proficient in gambling, that is, the King of Gamblers in the world, and he does not have a penny to do with himself ah!
After the old man was interrupted by Zhuang Rui, he did not get angry, just looked at Zhuang Rui with a smile, the corner of his mouth drew an arc, slightly naughty.
“Does Uncle Ming know how to gamble, and I ……”
When Zhuang Rui was still about to continue, suddenly his mind lit up, he remembered this bet today, and immediately his eyes glazed over, looking incredulously at the old King of Gamblers.
“Old …… old master, mo …… mofo, this …… this last hand of cards, is Uncle Ming shuffled out?”
Although Zhuang Rui had watched many gambling movies, he also knew that in real casinos, big cards like what kind of flush Faulhaus or something like that basically rarely appeared, and some old gamblers who had gambled for half of their lives might not have ever caught such a card.
Zhuang Rui after gambling, but also when their own luck, and did not think about the joints, after all, he can know the bottom of the card, even if there is not a flush against the Faulhaus such a big card, Zhuang Rui also has 100% certainty to win the Jeeves, the best to spend a little longer just.
But the words of the old King of Gamblers, but let Zhuang Rui understand over, dare not own good luck, but because Uncle Ming shuffled the cards well.
But this also makes Zhuang Rui become more and more confused, himself and the old king of gamblers are not relatives, and also indirectly offended him, Zhuang Rui really can not figure out why the old man will be so helpful to himself?
“Ah Ming shuffled his cards well, but you gambled better, I have a feeling that even if Ah Ming doesn’t help you, the person who wins in the end, must still be you.”
Old King of Gamblers’ slightly blue eyes stared at Zhuang Rui tightly, as if he wanted to see some clues from Zhuang Rui’s eyes.
Zhuang Rui smiled bitterly and said, “Old master, you’re too flattering to me, but to be cocky, I came here to win!”
“Oh? Why are you so sure?”
The old King of Gamblers’ eyes lit up, the person he knew with the highest gambling skills was the old enemy Ye Han, but it was the gambling saint Ye Han back then, he also didn’t dare to say that he was bound to win before he gambled, or else he wouldn’t have lost a few million in Las Vegas first before gambling for three days and three nights to win it back with interest.
“I don’t know why? But it’s just the certainty of winning, maybe it’s the sixth sense? I this person for the feeling of danger has always been very keen, sort of what the ancients say can tend to good fortune and avoid evil!”
Zhuang Rui knew that in front of the old man to talk about how brilliant his gambling skills, that is pure bullshit, but the secret of the eyes is the biggest privacy of Zhuang Rui’s heart, even his mother, wife and children have not revealed a trace to, naturally, it is impossible to tell the old King of Gamblers.
“Hehe, sixth sense?”
The old man laughed indifferently, bowed his head and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said, “Little fellow, what do you think of this ship of mine?”
Zhuang Rui was somewhat unable to keep up with the old man’s thinking, and replied smoothly, “Boat? It’s very good! Other than that Neptune ship, this is the biggest ship I’ve ever seen.”
“Well then, since you like it, I’ll give you this ship.” The old man said with a smile.
“What?!”
After Zhuang Rui heard the old gambling king’s words, his butt immediately jumped up from that comfortable beach chair.
Although Zhuang Rui had made his fortune by relying on his eye psychic ability, he had never thought that this pie would really fall from the sky, and that it would actually hit him.
