Chapter 1157: Let the Gambling Begin

With this precedent, similar things might happen in the future. The people who won the bids today might lose the mines they got from bidding tomorrow… So, Kars agreed to Li Zhichun.

“Ah!” Li Zhichun didn’t expect Kars to agree, and he was delighted. “Thanks for the trouble, General Kars.”

“As for the matter of bidding, this can only be based on your true strength. I can’t interfere with this. The whole bidding process will be fair and just,” said Kars.

“Okay… I understand…” Li Zhichun sighed and chit-chatted a while longer before he hung up.

Originally, he thought that General Kars could mediate the matter, letting them get a gold or diamond mine at a lower price, but he did not expect it to be rejected by General Kars.

However, it was true that Country X was now General Kars’ territory. The rent received was also General Kars’ income. If the price was low, wouldn’t it make General Kars lose money?

Therefore, Li Zhichun was also calculating in his heart to see if he could get a mine from Country X. Anyway, there was a large sum of money in his hands that he cheated from the Huang Family. Li Zhichun was not heartbroken to use other people’s money.

It didn’t take long for Li Tianyu’s phone call to come in again. Li Zhichun picked up. “Tianyu, General Kars agreed to the matter of our iron mine. If you first explain this to the organizer, it should be fine. If not, General Kars said that he would come forward to solve it again.”

“I see; that would be great!” Li Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief. The premise in Africa was the Li Family’s premise, but it was also Li Tianyu’s career! The domestic affairs were all handled by his elder brother – Li Tianjia. Hence, if he wanted to make some achievements to show his father, he could only start from the overseas business. Once he had any problems with the business here, he would need to return to the country. He could not show off himself in front of his brother. This was what Li Tianyu did not want to see, so he had to be more diligent in the African affairs. “It seems that General Kars still cares for us.”

“That’s true. However, according to him, the bidding is carried out by the military of Country X. Kars is now only responsible for internal affairs, but he isn’t in charge of military affairs. So this other bidding will be up to us!” said Li Zhichun.

“Father, what do you mean? Are we are going to expand the business in Country X?” Li Tianyu was stunned and asked with some surprise. He only thought about how to keep the iron mine and not let his position in the family be affected. However, if the Li Family increased its investment in Country X, Li Tianyu’s significance in this position would immediately emerge.

“En, I have this plan. We have a lot of money from the Huang Family. If we leave it aside, it will just stay idle with no use, so I plan to invest it!” Li Zhichun said, “Now the situation on your side has stabilized. General Kars has completely controlled the overall situation. It is a good thing for us!”

“That’s for sure!” Li Tianyu said excitedly after listening, “Father, what aspect do we invest in?”

“Our investment is definitely a high-profit mine such as a gold mine or a diamond mine!” Li Zhichun said, “This requires you to pay attention to the information of the bidding. We will fight for it.”

“Okay! I understand!” Li Tianyu said quickly. If the family invested in gold or diamond mines here, then the overseas business would occupy a substantial portion in the family business. With that, Li Tianyu’s status and the right to speak up would increase in the future.

“En, I will hand over these things to you!” Li Zhichun said, “After inquiring about the bidding rules, Tianjia and I may also go over, and we’ll bid together,” said Li Zhichun.

“Okay, I have a message here. I will call you,” said Li Tianyu.

Hanging up the phone, Li Zhichun smiled and looked at the funds on the computer bank account. The corner of his mouth became a sneer. “Hmph, Huang Xiaofei. I give you face, yet you don’t want it. Now, I’ll use your money to invest in a gold mine, and yet you can’t get a penny…”

At the same time, Huang Xiaofei also got the news of Country X in Africa. Although he did not intend to think about the investment of Country X, things happening in Country X still affected his nerves…

Huang Xiaofei’s mood was relieved when he saw that all the mines of Country X were about to be retrieved and redistributed. After all, he was not the first one, nor the last.

When General Kars gained a firm foothold, all mines in the territory began to be retrieved and reformed. Huang Xiaofei was just one step ahead of them.

The only thing that Huang Xiaofei was not reconciled with was that Li Zhichun and his son had scammed him and tricked him for forty billion patacas…

“Dad, are you still thinking about Country X?” Huang Rongtian glanced at his father’s bedside laptop and saw some news and notifications about Country X on the screen.

“General Kars decided to retrieve all the mining industry in the country and redistribute it!” Huang Xiaofei said, “Our experience isn’t incidental.”

Huang Rongtian nodded. “We were too much of a hurry before. If we enter Country X now, there will be no problems or worries. I did not expect General Kars to be somewhat capable. He actually resolved all the armed forces in the country and controlled the situation directly…”

“Yeah, I was in too much of a rush. If I were not in a rush, I could get a good mine by bidding through normal channels…” Huang Xiaofei sighed and said a little frustrated.

“Well, Father, since the matter is already over, then don’t think too much…” Huang Rongtian felt regretful in his heart, but he had no other way at the moment.

After all, when he prepared to invest in the gold mine of Country X the first time, he was in favor of it. Although he opposed it the second time, it could only be described as for visiting.

“Oh, hello, Little Nannan.” Yang Ming laughed and said, “I am the God of Gamblers, Gao Jing-”

Park Zhenan was surprised. He thought, Isn’t it supposedly Yang Ming? When did the name change to Gao Jing?

Yang Ming continued, “I am a fan of the God of Gamblers in the world – Gao Jing. Ai, although my idol is very good, against you, it is enough for me as a fan.”

If Park Zhenan didn’t watch Yang Ming’s video, he would have already turned away and left. It was a disarrayed farce. No matter what, he was also a person with status! But thinking of his mission today, Park Zhenan could only bear with it. “Hello, Mr. Gao Jing’s fan, what do you want to play?”

“Anything is fine for me. Five-card stud, Blackjack, sic bo.” Yang Ming said, “Even guessing the dice points will do. We play what you are good at!”

“Then, let us go with Five-card stud.” Park Zhenan did not act courteously. “However, when I gamble, I need a wager. I will not participate in a gamble without a wager.”

“If you would like to gamble, just play; if you don’t gamble, you lose.” Yang Ming heard that Park Zhenan had so many stories, so he spoke impatiently.

Park Zhenan’s mouth twitched and looked up at Alice’s gaze. Park Zhenan snorted and endured, “Gamble on our lives. Do you dare?”

“Whatever.” Yang Ming said indifferently, “Okay, let’s get started.”

“Are you listening to me in the end? I am talking about gambling our lives. Are you sure you heard it clearly?” Park Zhenan looked at Yang Ming with some confusion.

“Isn’t it just gambling on a life? Whoever loses will be dead, right? Let’s get started!” said Yang Ming.

Park Zhenan snorted and said, “Let’s get started.”

Although Yang Ming said that he didn’t care, he had already begun to pay attention deep down in his heart. Is this Park Zhenan sick? Why do you seem to have a deep hatred with me?

He and I are not enemies. It’s just a duel in gambling. This guy actually gambles with his life immediately in the confrontation. Is he sick? Yang Ming was very skeptical about the real objective of this guy to find him for a gamble.

However, after thinking about it, I have not offended the gambling world. Besides the people of Nancheng Casino… Could it be that he was sent by Nancheng Casino?

It’s impossible. Nancheng Casino knows my strength. If they send people over, isn’t it equal to sending them to death? Moreover, Park Zhenan has also seen my gambling video. Is he so sure that he can win?

So, Yang Ming did not bother with what Park Zhenan wanted to play. Yang Ming’s concern was his real purpose. Was it just as simple as a duel with him?

However, even if Yang Ming asked directly at this moment, he believed that Park Zhenan would not tell the truth. Everything could only be taken a step at a time for Yang Ming to see what tricks Park Zhenan had up his sleeve.

“A game to decide who will win or lose?” Yang Ming asked.

“Everyone prepares fifty chips. It ends when one person loses all his chips,” said Park Zhenan.

Park Zhenan just spoke, and the casino staff helped the two prepare the chips. The reason was that it was fifty chips, which meant that the chips were not worth much. The last wager would be their own lives.

The chips were piled up on the table by the two people, each with fifty small plastic pieces, which were specially made by the casino. Park Zhenan took the towel handed over by the waiter and wiped his hands.

Generally, gambling masters would wipe their hands before gambling to avoid static electricity on their hands. With that, when they drew a card, it would not stick together and avoid accidents.

After Yang Ming took the towel, he did not wipe his hand but wiped his face directly. Then, he threw it aside. “I just slept. I’m a little confused. Now, I am more awake after I wiped my face.”

Park Zhenan was accustomed to Yang Ming’s odd tricks, so this time, he was not inexplicable with it. He just thought that Yang Ming was not like a gambling master.

After the preparations were completed, the dealer also stood by the gambling table and began to prepare by shuffling and dealing out cards. In a big casino like Alice, the people who could serve as a senior dealer were not ordinary people. They were more or less masters of gambling. They could even shuffle and pass the cards they wanted according to the casino’s intention.

However, it was also for ordinary gamblers. In a real gambling master showdown, it would be impossible for them to do anything. It was easy to be seen at a glance.

Therefore, the dealer sent by the Alice Casino today also had a skillful shuffling technique, but he was a dealer not proficient in gambling. Such a dealer was also the fairest. No matter which party lost, the casino would not take the blame.

The dealer took out a deck of unopened playing cards. He quickly tore off the packaging and then took out the cards. The front side was spread on the gaming table. This step was to check the cards. It was a necessary step in gambling to have both sides see clearly whether there was a problem with the playing cards.

Park Zhenan quickly glanced at the playing cards on the table and nodded, indicating that he had checked it, and there was no problem.

Yang Ming was too lazy to look at it one by one. When he saw Park Zhenan nod, he waved his hand and said that there was no problem to start. It was impossible to falsify in this case, so the inspection and the non-examination were actually the same. There was no difference.

The dealer smiled and put the cards on the table in his hands. Then, he shuffled the cards cleanly and neatly. When the dealer was about to deal, Park Zhenan suddenly said, “Wait a minute!”

“Is there anything wrong?” Dealer stopped his movements with some doubts and looked at Park Zhenan.

“Wait a minute. Let him decide which side gets the card first. Otherwise, when he loses, I don’t want him to use this excuse to deny it.” Park Zhenan said as he waved his hand “generously.”

Yang Ming was very scornful about Park Zhenan’s pretentious attitude. If it were euphemized, it was called generous; if it were derogatory, it was arrogance. No one would be as pretentious as this!

“Are you sure you can win?” Yang Ming looked at Park Zhenan with interest, not knowing where his confidence came from.

“It is hard to say for the others, but to you…” Park Zhenan smiled. “I am the God of Gamblers in Korea.”

“Doesn’t your country not allow gambling?” Yang Ming snorted. “Come on. Let me see what is called the frog at the bottom of the well [4]. We should give him the card first.”the pot calling the kettle black: To convey that the criticisms a person is aiming at someone else could equally apply to themselves.The main character of the TV series, The Bund.To depict someone with limited outlook and experience
