Chapter 44: The Wheels of Fortune Turn
Mei Jun, the boss of Jin Zun Group, is over 40 years old but looks like a young man in his 30s, very lean and with a strong demeanor.
This large entertainment city is under the responsibility of General Mei. Bai Haijun only knows that he came from Bin City and has a good background, being one of Zhou Boss's direct subordinates.
Although he is in charge of the entertainment city and can call the wind and rain, in front of Director Mei and Boss Zhou, he is nothing.
This place has become a safe haven for high-end entertainment in the four eastern provinces over the past year, and because of its proximity to the international metropolis of Bin City, most people who come here to play are wealthy individuals from the four eastern provinces who have come to Bin City for vacation and relaxation, especially those who have made their fortunes through mining and real estate. It is said that Mr. Zhou's villa district is home to many such wealthy individuals, and this place was also mainly opened for them.
As for allowing local small-time gamblers to enter, that is still the mass market area opened up by Zhao Tiejun after joining the management of Entertainment City, and it's said that there are also people backing him with investment.
For Zhao Tiejun, this mixed head, and Bai Haijun, this local snake, Mei Jun is a mysterious strong dragon who can summon the wind and rain. Usually, Bai and Zhao will not go against Mei's intentions.
"What is Zhao Tiejun doing?"
Mei Jun was somewhat displeased, as the underground casino over there should have been Zhao Tiejun's responsibility.
"He has been fighting for the position of village head in Chang'an Village for the past two days. On the other side, a new district is being developed, and he wants to take down that piece of land across from him and open another entertainment city."
"Oh?" Mei Jun was somewhat surprised, and the discontent in his heart grew even more. This half year, it seemed that Zhao's surname had become increasingly disobedient, always doing something he didn't quite grasp.
Zhao Zhiqiang vaguely felt the surveillance camera above his head move slightly, knowing that the other party was observing him. He didn't rush and waited for Zhao Tiejun to come out... Didn't Tang Yuan say he was the guardian of this place?
How come I haven't seen a single hair?
He should have made his move by now, but it seems he's still hesitant. Probably still tormenting Zhu Zijun...
Zhao Zhiqiang no longer waited and walked up to the front of the Pai Jiu stage.
"Sorry, everyone, I'm going to the restroom." Master Zhuang's push-hand was so scared that he hastily apologized and didn't even have the courage to start the game, putting down the tiles and slipping away quickly.
"Hehe, sorry about that. I'll go." A thin, small old man in his fifties walked out from behind the crowd.
"My name is Baba Ge, representing Jin Zun. I'd like to invite this young brother to the Golden VIP area for a private meeting, may I?" The old man introduced himself calmly and steadily, looking at Zhao Zhiqiang.
Zhao Zhiqiang was originally looking for trouble, and this old man estimated that the casino had sent a high-ranking person to deal with him. However, for him, any gambling technique was unnecessary. He took a glance around and saw that the middle-aged uncle who had already lost tens of thousands of yuan and initially called himself "Little Kind" was still there, but none of their higher-ups were in sight, so he wouldn't go to a private room alone.
"Sorry, I still prefer playing with everyone together in a mixed game." Zhao Zhiqiang said with a very polite smile.
Ba Ge's face turned red as he nodded, "Alright, sir. Are you going to play Pai Gow? Do you want to be the banker or the player?"
"I'd rather be idle than work hard, haha."
Most of the people who come here to have fun are local tyrants like big mine owners in the three eastern provinces, they don't care about how much money it is, but rather this guy's luck, and some people immediately step forward to surround the scene, those who can't sit down stand behind others.
Hanging gear, Northeast dialect, actually it's just following which door to bet on, not participating in looking at cards, the side that hangs and wins, he wins, if he loses, he loses as much as he hangs.
Zhao Zhiqiang didn't choose dominoes, but poker instead.
Ba Ge came as ordered, and was fully prepared to respond. Other players were also curious about Zhao Zhiqiang's good luck, and more than a dozen people gathered around, all of whom were stunned by Zhao Zhiqiang's name.
Of course, this hanger also has a story to tell. If you win, you have to give the "driver" 20% of the winnings. If you lose, then you just lose.
Actually, the other two are just a match. After Zhao Zhiqiang's incredible win of 18 points earlier, they all want to see how long this kid's luck can last, or... if it's cheating. But this guy doesn't even move his tiles and dice, so saying he's a cheat is really not possible.
Everyone is waiting for a good show, and some want to take advantage of the "luck" to make a profit. So, after Baba finished dealing the cards, except for two placeholders, everyone waited for Zhao Zhiqiang to choose the door card and place bets.
Zhao Zhiqiang's financial eyes saw clearly. The three gates of Heaven, Earth and Man couldn't match a bigger card than the banker no matter what!
It's a high-stakes game... no matter how you play, it's a loss, but Zhao Zhiqiang still casually chose the Tianmen position and bet 500,000 chips. The dealer immediately dealt out 10,000 and 30,000 chips!
Bahgo sneered in his heart, you don't have a card, there's no chance of winning here!
The middle-aged man had only 100,000 left and immediately bet all of it, hoping to win a round...
As a result, when the cards were revealed, he also found that Zhao Zhiqiang's hand could not beat the landlord's Tianjiu people card!
"You, you!" The middle-aged uncle was anxious, "You, you" but he really couldn't say anything, everyone lost, but he lost the most!
Zhao Zhiqiang didn't even bother to respond, and laughed, saying "Uncle, if you're going to come out and play like this, you should bring more money. If you lose it all, I'm afraid you won't even have enough for a hotel room, haha!"
As they spoke, Zhao Zhiqiang quietly mobilized his spiritual energy to urge on the copper shell, silently reciting in his heart, "The time has come for a change of fortune..."
He knew the other was a master of cheating, but Zhao Zhiqiang couldn't even shuffle cards that fast and skillfully. It's better to try this "reversal of luck" method, although it would consume a bit of spiritual energy. Now is the perfect opportunity to take down the casino, with over ten helpers by his side!
Ba Ge's hands moved quickly, swiftly shuffling the cards. After asking someone to pick up the cards and move them a bit, he rapidly dealt out four cards each of the four suits. He didn't even need to think about it - this time his hand was a pair of red fours and two jokers. As for the other three suits, he knew two and a half of them, but even so, it was still a winning hand.
He came out just to stop this young man from winning again, blocking him and making him know his limits. If the opponent rushes or rotates, he will choose a door to snipe, letting the opponent know that there are also experts in the arena, if you want to do it, face it head-on, let's continue!
Zhao Zhiqiang's face was stern and solemn, as if he had thought for a long time, and chose the initial door. Then one million chips were pushed up.
Big note!
The dozen or so people behind him immediately became excited, just like they were about to take a bride into the bridal chamber.
"One hundred thousand."
"I'm 150,000!"
"I'm thirty!"
"I'm all in, one million chips!"
Soon, more than a dozen people bet nearly 5 million, and a mountain of 100,000 chips was placed in front of Zhao Zhiqiang.
"Looking for death."
Bāgē thinks these guys must be crazy.
He dealt out the cards, clearly and without courtesy, waited until everyone had placed their bets, smiled slightly, and picked up his own cards...
Looked for a full ten seconds!
His face turned from red to green, then black, and he immediately felt a severe dizziness. He couldn't believe it, in his hand were a Black 10, a Black 2, a Red 4, and a Black J.
Zhao Zhiqiang calmly flipped over the completely unmatched Red Four Supreme, smiling and saying, "I won. Do you want to continue?"
