Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 546 The difference between reality and movies (two in one)

"Cheng, it's quite boring here. Let's go shopping somewhere else."

Seeing that he had almost lost all his chips, Zhong Chuhong proposed to Lin Baicheng, but he was not ready to continue playing.

"Okay, let's go shopping elsewhere."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded, then looked at Guan Zhilin.

"Brother Lin, I'm with you."

Guan Zhilin found it quite interesting, but she would go wherever Lin Baicheng went.

"Then let's go and sing."

Although Lin Baicheng doesn't feel bored, he doesn't find it very interesting either. He can leave whether he wants or not.

After giving the remaining chips to the bodyguards to exchange for money, Lin Baicheng and others prepared to leave.

But just when Lin Baicheng and the others were about to leave, a young man came over, and Lin Baicheng knew this man, or should say he had met him several times.

"Mr. Lin!"

"It's Mr. He."

Lin Baicheng waved to the bodyguards. The person who came was He Youguang, the eldest son of the gambling king. Regarding He Youguang, Lin Baicheng only knew that the eldest son of the gambling king died young. He did not know the specific year in which he died, let alone what caused He Youguang's death.

of.

"Mr. Lin, my father happens to be up there, and a big gamble is going on up there. If it doesn't take up your time, would you like to go and have a look?"

He Youguang had actually come down a long time ago, but Lin Baicheng had been accompanying Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin when they were playing, so he didn't take the liberty to go over and disturb them, so as not to offend Lin Baicheng for no reason.

"A big gamble? How to say?"

Lin Baicheng became interested when he heard this, but he thought of those gambling movies he had watched before his rebirth. Classic scenes from movies like God of Gamblers couldn't help but emerge.

He Youguang said: "It's a gambling game between Saint Ye Han and the Japanese gambling king. The game is stud, with a total of 50 million Hong Kong dollars in gambling."

"It's not a small bet."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. Even though it was only 50 million Hong Kong dollars, it was nothing in terms of Lin Baicheng's net worth. However, 50 million Hong Kong dollars was already a large sum of money in 1979.

Let's put it this way, the market value of Qingzhou Yingni Company before being acquired by Lin Baicheng was only just over 100 million Hong Kong dollars. 50 million Hong Kong dollars is almost equivalent to half of Qingzhou Yingni Company, and Qingzhou Yingni Company is a Hong Kong-based company.

A leading enterprise among cement companies.

Let’s compare it to real estate in Hong Kong. Currently, the price of an apartment of about 100 square meters in Central is less than 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 50 million Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to more than 100 houses of about 100 square meters.

"Hong, Jiahui, how about we go take a look?"

Lin Baicheng asked the two beauties for their opinions, and Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin had no objections.

At that moment, the next group of people followed He Youguang to the upper floors. When they arrived at the top floor, there were only a few VIP rooms, which were quite large. They had not been invited, did not have a certain status, or had not formed a game with other people.

If you play, there is no way to get up.

Lin Baicheng asked Chen Yaoxian and others to wait at the door of the VIP room, then went in with two female bodyguards.

There were not many people in the VIP room. There were two people sitting on both sides of a long oval table, facing each other, and then some people sitting on either side of them.

"Lin Sheng!"

Before Lin Baicheng and his men walked over, Stanley Ho stood up.

"He Sheng!"

Lin Baicheng shook hands with the gambling king, and then looked at the person sitting opposite who nodded and greeted him.

Iwasaki Mineryu, I didn't expect him to be here, which was a bit surprising to Lin Baicheng.

But now was not the time to greet Iwasaki Mineryu. At the invitation of the gambling king, Lin Baicheng took the two women to sit down next to the gambling king, while the two female bodyguards stood beside him.

Gambling king Stanley Ho introduced Lin Baicheng to the gambling king Ye Han and Japanese gambling king Shoichi Henggang. In fact, he could get a rough idea without Stanley Ho’s introduction. It’s not that he knew Ye Han, but Henggang Shoichi kept his Japanese style

With his mustache, it is easy to tell that he is Japanese.

Ye Han and the others were playing Stud, which you could know without having to be introduced by Stanley Ho to Lin Baicheng. The reason is simple. Movies like "God of Gamblers" also played this game, and Lin Baicheng was deeply impressed.

What is placed on the gambling table is not cash. Each side has 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, which is quite a lot of cash. What both parties put on the table are chips.

Judging from the chips on the poker table, Ye Han currently has the upper hand. He has more chips, which is about double that of Henggang Zhengyi.

"Lin Sheng, who are these two?"

Stanley Ho glanced at Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin.

Lin Baicheng just introduced the names of the two women: "Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin, they are my friends."

"Is this Lin Sheng's first time here?"

Smiling and nodding, Stanley Ho knew that Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin were not women from any wealthy family, but just Lin Baicheng's 'confidantes'. With Lin Baicheng's current wealth and status, having some confidantees was nothing at all.

Not to mention anything else, he, Stanley Ho, is married to several wives, not to mention the confidante whom he has some ambiguous relationships or contacts with.

Lin Baicheng nodded: "Well, I'm usually quite busy, but this time I mainly brought them here to have fun."

"I wonder if Lin Sheng is interested in investing in the Aodao Tourism and Entertainment Company? There is a good opportunity now."

Stanley Ho asked aloud that the so-called Aodao Tourism and Entertainment Company is actually the holding company of several casinos including Lisboa. This company is certainly not short of funds, but most of the guests at the Aodao Casino are from Hong Kong, so they need

Cooperate with the wealthy families in Xiangjiang.

Lin Baicheng's current wealth status is definitely at the top level in Xiangjiang. Stanley Ho is very happy to cooperate with a strong person like Lin Baicheng. Only by cooperating with strong people, when the company faces a crisis, can it be easier to avert danger.

"I'm not familiar with this industry, so I won't join."

Lin Baicheng smiled and declined. No matter what, anyone who runs a casino will not have a good reputation. Even if he is just a small shareholder, he will get a bad reputation. Lin Baicheng does not want to damage his reputation for a small profit.

.

"That's such a shame."

Stanley Ho was a little regretful. Since Lin Baicheng refused, of course he couldn't force it. There was no way to achieve cooperation by being stubborn. Besides, he didn't have to cooperate with Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng and Stanley Ho were chatting in a low voice. After a while, Iwasaki Mineryu came over quietly. Lin Baicheng asked Guan Zhilin next to him to give up his seat to Iwasaki Mineryu.

"Iwasaki-kun, why are you here? I thought you went back to Japan for the holidays."

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Although there is no such thing as Mid-Autumn Festival in Japan, today is also a Japanese festival, except that this day is called "Tsukimi" in Japan, and what is eaten is not moon cakes, but Tsukimi dumplings.

Mineryu Iwasaki said: "A friend invited me to watch a huge gamble between experts. This is a rare event, so I came."

"So that's it."

Lin Baicheng nodded, and then introduced Iwasaki Mineryu and Ho Hongsen to each other.

"He Sang!" "Mr. Iwasaki!"

Iwasaki Mineryu and Stanley Ho shook hands and said hello.

Iwasaki Mineryu then asked Lin Baicheng if he was here to play. Lin Baicheng also replied that he was bringing Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin over to have some fun.

After chatting for a few words, Lin Baicheng, Iwasaki Mineryu and Ho Hongsen stopped talking and watched the gambling game in silence.

The reality is not like making a movie. The card games between Ye Han and Henggang Zhengyi are very boring most of the time. The two people's cards rarely come up when everyone has good cards. When one party's cards are better, the other party's cards are not good.

They would think of winning by "stealing the chicken" or "bluffing", after all, both of them are masters.

Stud is a psychological battle. When both sides encounter a winning situation, it depends on whose psychological quality is better.

Lin Baicheng actually didn't know whether Ye Han and Henggang Zhengyi would change cards like in the movie. After all, he didn't know much about 'gambling'. Maybe a master like the Gambling Saint and King of Gambling could change the cards quietly.

Not necessarily.

If Ye Han and Henggang Zhengyi have this ability, then psychological warfare is no longer the only key to victory, but who has better skills is also the key to victory.

After another ten minutes, Ye Han had more and more chips in front of him.

I have to admit that there is a big difference between reality and movies. After watching it for so long, Lin Baicheng's only feeling was boredom. If he hadn't seen the gambling game coming to an end, he would have thought of leaving halfway.

In the current situation, if nothing unexpected happens, Ye Han should win the final victory, unless Ye Han keeps losing later.

Seeing that the winner was about to be decided, Iwasaki Mineryu was no longer interested in the poker table. He whispered to Lin Baicheng in a low voice: "Mr. Lin, are you interested in playing a few games? I'll find someone to organize the game, don't worry.

, no one is a master like the Gambling Saint or Gambling King, they are all just playing around."

"Iwasaki-kun often play?"

Lin Baicheng did not answer immediately, but asked.

Iwasaki Mineryu shook his head: "It's not that often, but if a friend asks me to play, I won't refuse."

"Iwasaki-kun, it's better to play less."

Lin Baicheng said something, and then said: "I am not interested in these, so I will not participate."

"In that case, forget it."

Hearing this, Iwasaki Mineryu didn't insist and asked instead: "What arrangements does Lin Junyi have?"

Lin Baicheng said: "I'm going to take them to sing."

"Then I won't disturb Mr. Lin. I wish you a good dream."

Iwasaki Mineryu thought of the two girls brought by Lin Baicheng, and immediately guessed what Lin Baicheng was thinking.

However, Iwasaki Mineryu's so-called guess was his own. Lin Baicheng had no intention of taking down Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong tonight.

Lin Baicheng is not stupid. He will only look for opportunities to capture Zhong Chuhong alone, rather than with other women. Even if he wants to play a game like one dragon and two phoenixes, he must capture the two phoenixes separately and then get them together.

Lin Baicheng smiled and did not explain.

Not long after, Ye Han won the bet and won a 50 million Hong Kong dollar bet.

While others went to congratulate Ye Han, Lin Baicheng said goodbye to Iwasaki Mineryu and Stanley Ho and prepared to leave.

However, when Lin Baicheng was about to leave, Ye Han asked Lin Baicheng for a business card, saying that he wanted to discuss cooperation with Lin Baicheng. With the idea that there was no need to offend anyone, Lin Baicheng gave Ye Han a business card, but he was not prepared to talk to Ye Han.

Chinese cooperation.

Ye Han has been in the gambling world all his life. Lin Baicheng guessed that Ye Han's cooperation was probably related to gambling, and he was not interested in such cooperation.

Stanley Ho saw all this.

"Father, Ghost King Ye seeks Lin Baicheng's cooperation."

After the father and son returned to the office, He Youguang looked at his father, Stanley Ho, with some concern.

"Ghost King Ye must have approached Lin Sheng to establish a horse racing club."

Stanley Ho and Ye Han can be said to be old rivals. Ye Han was also one of the founders of Aodao Tourism and Entertainment Company, but was later defeated by Stanley Ho in the competition with him, so he withdrew from Aodao Tourism and Entertainment Company.

Although Ye Han withdrew from the Aodao Tourism and Entertainment Company, he still held some shares in the company. At the same time, he did not give up and quit the world. Instead, he always wanted to compete with Stanley Ho. The Horse Racing Club is what Ye Han is currently promoting.

plan, and Stanley Ho also knew about the plan.

Stanley Ho was not worried about Ye Han's horse racing plan, because he planned to come up with a similar horse racing plan to encircle Ye Han in many aspects. If he could defeat Ye Han once, he could defeat Ye Han many times or even countless times.

However, if Ye Han can persuade Lin Baicheng to cooperate together, it will be a big trouble for Stanley Ho. With Lin Baicheng's capital, he can fully afford long-term losses, but he must be careful of the other party using his own initiative to hurt others, if the other party gains a foothold.

, it will only be more troublesome.

He Youguang said worriedly: "Father, will Lin Baicheng cooperate with Ghost King Ye?"

"Probably not. When I invited him to invest in the company before, he refused. There is no reason for him not to invest in a profitable company and instead spend money to start over."

The reason why Stanley Ho was confident in inviting Lin Baicheng to join the company was because he and other shareholders did not have to give up their shares. If Lin Baicheng agreed, he would persuade Huo Yingdong and other shareholders to join forces to force Ye Han to give up his company shares. These shares

Will let Lin Baicheng take over.

If Lin Baicheng agreed at that time, Stanley Ho would not only invite a powerful supporter for the company, but also remove Ye Han from the company, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. He was not afraid that Ye Han would not agree and would join forces with Huo Yingdong and others, unless Ye Han was not prepared in the future.

to engage in business, otherwise he would have to agree.

Unfortunately, Lin Baicheng did not agree, which made Stanley Ho a little regretful. However, because of this, Stanley Ho believed that Lin Baicheng would not cooperate with Ye Han, so he did not have to worry about Lin Baicheng disrupting the situation.

He Youguang felt relieved when he saw that his father was not worried.

Lin Baicheng took Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin to sing. After singing, the three of them went somewhere else to play, and did not return to the hotel until early in the morning.

The next day, Ye Han contacted Lin Baicheng. Lin Baicheng took the time to meet with Ye Han. After learning that Ye Han invited him to invest in the other party's horse racing plan, he declined. As expected, it was related to 'gambling'.

He's not interested in it.

Ye Han originally wanted to persuade Lin Baicheng, but Lin Baicheng refused on the grounds that he was not interested in business related to 'gambling'. Lin Baicheng said so, and of course Ye Han could not continue to pester him.

On the same day, Lin Baicheng took Zhong Chuhong and Guan Zhilin back to Xiangjiang. Apart from the casino, there was no other interesting place on Ao Island.
