C188 An Astonishing Bet
Everyone present couldn't help but exclaim in unison, "100 million? Or US dollars? "
If two people participated, it would be two billion US dollars. That would be tens of billions of dollars. No wonder it was called Heaven Shocking Gambling. If one won, he would immediately become a billionaire. Of course, there weren't many people who could take out 100 million USD to participate.
Before the gambling began, those who wanted to participate first had to go to the right side of the stage to sign a document. The content was that if one lost the bet, they would have to pay the bet within three days. If they did not pay, they would have to transfer the company shares of the same value to the gambling ship.
With the reputation of the president of Four Seas Corporation, Chen Xiao quickly obtained 100 million chips. Even if he did not sign, as long as he showed something that could prove his identity, He would also get a hundred million chips. After all, the Four Seas Corporation had such a great reputation, and the CEO's name was more than 100 million dollars.
After this scene, Chen Xiao also understood why Lih Haibo still took Ouyang Xianhai away that day. It turned out that ___ wanted to borrow the name of the Holy Light Group to get a stake in the bet, but if they lost... He was afraid that Ouyang Ju would tear Ouyang Xianhai's bones apart.
After all, many companies were worth more than 100 million USD, but they did not necessarily have that much liquid funds. If they could not pay off the gambling debts within three days, then the company might give it to someone else. It seemed that Lih Haibo's means were really brilliant, to be able to coax Ouyang Xianhai to make such a decision.
"Chen Xiao, do you think Ouyang Xianhai will use some kind of trick when he says so? Will he have the confidence to win?" Lee Jiajia said worriedly.
"It's hard to say. It could be that Lih Haibo used flowery words to threaten Ouyang Xianhai. No matter what, I will win."
"Even if I lose, I will agree to let you use the power plant project to exchange for Lee Xiaoyao."
When Chen Xiao and Lee Jiajia were whispering, there was a sudden cry from the stage. It turned out that someone did not have an autograph, but took out ten large boxes full of money. Each box had ten million US dollars, which was exactly a hundred million US dollars. He directly exchanged for chips.
"I didn't expect that someone would bring so much money with them." After a pause, Chen Xiao looked at that person thoughtfully.
That person also noticed that Chen Xiao was staring at him. His eyes slanted and revealed a thick killing intent. Moreover, there was a very long scar on his face. From the corner of his eye to the mark of the decree, it looked very terrifying.
What made Chen Xiao even more surprised was that he also saw Black Widow. She also did not sign the document. Instead, she took out a document. She handed it over directly. After the other party looked at it, she revealed a shocked expression. She was even more shocked than when she found out that Chen Xiao was the president of Four Seas Corporation.
After that, the other party readily gave Black Widow 100 million chips. She waved the chips at Chen Xiao and said proudly, "Director Chen, I'll see you at the gambling table later."
At 8: 50 PM, a group of staff came out. They worked together and quickly set up a big gambling table that could accommodate 15 people.
At 9 PM sharp, the shocking gambling started. Everyone sat down. Chen Xiao also sat at the table, and Lee Jiajia sat behind him.
In the first few rounds, everyone was like a dragonfly touching the surface of the water. They did not place much bargaining chips on the table, and all they did was point to stop. It was nothing more than testing the strength of others. Chen Xiao did not go to any of the rounds, and he gave up every round.
"Director Chen, you are not afraid of losing and want to keep your bargaining chips, right?" Lih Haibo won this round. He flew out his poker card and smiled. Chen Xiao did not respond.
The gambling game was Texas poker. This was the most popular gambling style among rich people in recent years. In the beginning, there would be big blind bets and small blind bets. Other players could choose to bet with big blind bets or discard their cards. Of course, there would also be additional bets.
In the beginning, each player would have two trump cards facing downwards. After all the bets were placed, if the victor still could not be determined, The game would enter the "open up" stage, which was to let the remaining players reveal their trump cards. The big card holder would win.
This kind of situation. The most exciting part about poker games was that as long as one was slightly careless, In one game, they would lose all their bets. At the same time, gambling was a taboo for hot-tempered people, so Chen Xiao was not in a hurry. He was waiting for a chance to win.
After the 21st round, Chen Xiao finally did not give up. Instead, he increased the bet to 10 million, scaring away many players. Only Lih Haibo, Scarface, and Black Widow gave up the bet.
There were three cards on the table. Chen Xiao did not hesitate to add 30 million again. Scarface followed. When it was Lih Haibo's turn, not only did he place a bet, he also added 50 million.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Xiao gave up. Scarface also gave up after struggling for a few minutes. However, this way, Lih Haibo did not lay his cards on the table. He directly obtained 60 million in chips.
At this time, Chen Xiao turned his head and said in a low voice, "Jiajia, go get a glass of wine and check if there are any cameras nearby. If there are, help me get a toothpick."
Chen Xiao originally wanted to scare Lih Haibo away with an additional bet, but he did not expect that Chen Xiao would see through his trump card. Not only did he add a bet, but he also added a lot of notes. With his eyes that had seen countless people, of course he could tell that Lih Haibo wasn't trying to scare him. He really had the confidence to beat him.
This way, he would surely know his trump card. In the second round, Chen Xiao started to give up his cards again and waited for Lee Jiajia to come back.
Not long after, Lee Jiajia carried a cocktail and sat back down, saying in a low voice, "There are a total of eight cameras in the hall, and four of them are aimed at this side."
"I know." Chen Xiao took the toothpick. After he ate the cherry on the cocktail, he grabbed the toothpick without attracting anyone's attention.
An hour later, the remaining eight people were eliminated. The two people with the least bargaining chips were Chen Xiao and Scarface.
A new round began. Chen Xiao added another 20 million. Lih Haibo smiled and said, "Director Chen, are you that confident in this round?"
"Let's give it a try. How can we win if we don't give it a try?" Chen Xiao smiled and said. Five people followed, including Scarface and Lih Haibo. Black Widow did not make any moves. She had won quite a lot previously. It doubled to more than 200 million.
When the fourth public card was released, Lih Haibo first added 20 million. Scarface looked at the cards and gave up again. The others also gave up, only Chen Xiao directly pushed out all the chips.
Everyone was in an uproar.
"This round will take his life." Ouyang Xianhai shouted excitedly, but Lih Haibo slapped him and cursed, "What do you know? Shut up!"
Ouyang Xianhai, who was touching his trump card, looked serious, because Chen Xiao had never seen this game before. Therefore, he did not have the chance to know Chen Xiao's trump card through the camera and the Bluetooth earpiece. If he rashly bet, he might lose.
Although he had won a lot, a mere sixty million was nothing, he could not give Chen Xiao more bargaining chips for free. After looking at his trump cards a few times, Lih Haibo gritted his teeth and flew out his cards, saying, "Chen Xiao, this game is pretty good."
"Thank you, Mr. Li, for admitting it. To be honest, I don't know if I can win or not. However, I still have to thank you."
Because all the players had given up on placing their bets. In fact, Chen Xiao did not need to reveal his trump card. However, he still revealed his trump card. The remaining seven people. The five people who had placed their bets previously all pounded their chests and stomped their feet in regret. Because everyone's cards were bigger than Chen Xiao's.
Another hour passed, and only Black Widow, Chen Xiao, and Lih Haibo were left. Scarface had also lost all his chips in three rounds. He slammed the table with all his strength and left while cursing.
Among the three of them, Lih Haibo had the most chips, a total of 800 million, Black Widow had 400 million, and Chen Xiao only had 200 million.
In the next few rounds, Lih Haibo abandoned his cards. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, because he had the most chips. There was no need to take any more risks. If Chen Xiao was eliminated by Black Widow, it would be the same as losing to Lih Haibo. He had to hand over the shares. Black Widow and Chen Xiao fought a few rounds, and both of them would win and lose.
In this round, Lih Haibo had once again abandoned his cards. Chen Xiao had seen his trump card and felt that it was not bad, so he added the stakes. He did not expect Black Widow to also add the stakes.
When the fourth public card was opened, Black Widow suddenly added all of Chen Xiao's chips, forcing him to either follow or take the remaining 30 million. That way, Chen Xiao would be no different from losing the bet.
But no one would have thought that after Chen Xiao placed the bet, Black Widow suddenly announced that she would give up the card, making Lih Haibo so angry that he was half dead. He was a gambling expert, so he could tell that Black Widow's cards were good. She was obviously going easy on him. Chen Xiao also did not understand Black Widow's actions.
"I suspect that there is something fishy between this lady and Director Chen. She purposely lost." Lih Haibo shouted loudly. There were four judges who often participated in international gambling competitions sitting at the long table behind the gambling table. After discussing for a while, they said, "We did not see any traces of cheating on them."
"I like him. Can't I lose to him on purpose?" Black Widow lit a cigarette and said proudly. She once again angered Lih Haibo until he was half dead.
Wait. When Lih Haibo abandoned the cards again, Black Widow lost all her remaining chips to Chen Xiao. Her eyes turned and said coquettishly, "Director Chen, you have to win. Don't let down my feelings."
"Thank you." Chen Xiao also did not understand what Black Widow wanted to do, but how long would it take for her to lose her bargaining chip to him? Otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to fight Lih Haibo.
Soon it was the last round. As long as Lih Haibo participated, Chen Xiao did not look at the cards. But this time, Lih Haibo directly increased the bet to 400 million because their chips were not much different. It could be seen that this should be the last round.
0
After hesitating for a while, Chen Xiao pretended to look back at the position of the camera and blocked all angles. He picked up a corner of the card and asked Lee Jiajia, "Do you think I should go?"
"I don't know either. Do as you see fit. I believe you." Lee Jiajia said.
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Xiao still did not make a decision. Lih Haibo said, "Director Chen, don't force yourself. If you can't do it, then give up. Anyway, don't you like to use this move?"
"Provoking is useless to me." Chen Xiao said faintly.
"I never thought of goading you, but your style is to give up, isn't it? Let me tell you, my cards will definitely win. You better give up. This is my good intention." Lih Haibo said proudly.
"I really don't believe it. Are you really that confident?" Chen Xiao's face was full of doubt. Black Widow, who was standing at the side, thought to herself, Not good. She thought to herself, When did Chen Xiao become so irritable? Could it be that the gambling had dragged on for too long? She was afraid that if he followed, he would definitely lose.
"Alright, I'll follow you and increase the stakes." Chen Xiao acted as if he had lost his mind and withdrew all his chips. Lih Haibo got what he wanted and quickly pushed out all his chips, saving Chen Xiao from regret.
This was the last round of the shocking bet worth 1.5 billion dollars. Everyone held their breaths!
