Game within game: chess player

"Mr. Adelson!"

Feng Liping had said hello, and his words were obviously unwelcoming, but Adelson didn't mind at all. When he saw Feng Liping, he immediately put on a friendly face and said with a smile, "Mr. Feng, it's nice to see you again." you."

At this time, Adelson habitually glanced at Ye Fang next to Feng Liping, thinking that he was just Feng Liping's bodyguard or something like that, and didn't care.

"You're happy to see me, but I don't seem too happy to see you." Feng Liping replied rudely.

Adelson opened his arms and laughed to cover up the embarrassing scene, and said, "Mr. Feng's casino is open for business, so he probably won't mind if I bring friends to spend money. This is Tripp, a big American real estate businessman, my dear Friend, he likes gambling very much, I recommend him to Mr. Feng’s casino so that you can have a chance to make good money from him.”

"Hello, Mr. Feng!" Tripp on the side stretched out his hand to Feng Liping, and Feng Liping shook Tripp's hand politely.

"Mr. Feng, I don't like the lobby. It's too noisy. Can you take us to a quieter room?" Adelson said.

Feng Liping knew that the two old ghosts in front of him had bad intentions, but the casino was open for business, and there was no reason to push the business outside. He glanced at Ye Fang out of habit, and Ye Fang indicated with his eyes that he should follow his ideas and leave it alone. he.

Feng Liping's glance at Ye Fang may have been a look of command in the eyes of others, but it was different in Tripp's eyes because Tripp could see that Feng Liping was not issuing an order but seeking Ye Fang's opinion. , which made Tripp immediately interested in Ye Fang.

Adelson's attention was always on Feng Liping, and he didn't notice the subtle difference in his eyes at all.

"Come with me." Feng Liping and Ye Fang walked in front, and Adelson and Tripp followed closely. As they walked, Adelson and Tripp pointed at the layout and decoration of the casino, seeming to Discussing the differences between the Venetian Casino and the yet-to-be-opened Venetian Casino, there is a strong sense of drawing on the strengths of others and combining Chinese and Western styles.

"Boss, these two old guys have bad intentions. It doesn't look like they are here to gamble." Feng Liping said in a low voice.

"It's okay. Let's see what they want to do. You can do whatever you want. I'm here." Ye Fang said calmly.

"Yeah." Feng Liping now feels more confident with Ye Fang by his side. Even if there are thousands of ravines ahead, he will still be able to walk on level ground. This is the confidence that Ye Fang brings to Feng Liping.

Nan Yi followed quietly with all the members of the ghost team until everyone arrived at a top private room on the second floor of the casino.

"Just go in with Jiuge, you guys stay outside." After Nan Yi finished speaking, he and Lu Jiuge walked directly into the private room, and the other four members of the ghost team stood guard outside the door.

The entire private room is hundreds of square meters, but the layout is extremely simple, with a gaming table, a bar, and a reception area. Ye Fang and Feng Liping sat on the sofa on one side, and Adelson and Tripp sat opposite. The difference was that there were more than a dozen tall and powerful bodyguards standing behind Adelson and Tripp, and Ye Fang and Feng Liping Behind him stood only Nan Yi and Lu Jiuge.

At this time, Adelson also noticed the young man who looked like an assistant next to Feng Liping. Seeing him sitting next to Feng Liping so grandly without any sign of awe, the old fox Adelson immediately understood that this man was definitely not a simple person.

"This man is extraordinary," Tripp whispered in Adelson's ear.

"Mr. Feng, could you introduce me to this friend of yours? I have never met him before." Adelson asked.

"My name is Ye, an ordinary person, and a friend of Mr. Feng." Ye Fang said lightly.

"Ordinary people?!" Adelson and Tripp are both good people in the business world. Naturally, they will not believe what Ye Fang said. If they saw Ye Fang on other occasions, they might be fooled by these words. , but on today's occasion, Feng Liping's attitude towards Ye Fang is definitely not as simple as an ordinary friend.

However, Adelson did not want to dwell too much on this matter, but went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Tripp is very interested tonight, so he wanted to come over and play a few games. I don't know if we have the largest chips here." How much, and is there a limit?”

Although Feng Liping was dissatisfied, he did not show it. He disliked Adelson's knowing tone. How could the gambling king of Qinyin Casino for so many years not know the rules of Haojiang Casino? However, Feng Liping still said patiently, "The chips are the biggest." It’s 200 million, denominated in RMB, you should know this very well, Mr. Adelson, this is the rule of Haojiang Casino.”

Adelson smiled and said, "Of course I know this, but my friend, Mr. Trump, thinks this blockage is still too small and not exciting to play with. Isn't that right, my friend?"

Tripp lit a cigar, chuckled, and said, "That's true. I think it's better to go bigger. It's still 200 million, but it's priced in US dollars. I wonder if Mr. Feng dares to take it?"

200 million chips, priced in US dollars? Feng Liping's heart skipped a beat. A single chip was worth nearly 2000 million yuan. Calculated in this way, the bet for each sentence easily exceeded [-] million, and even the win or loss of several billion was not an exaggeration. If you click and memorize it, after a few rounds, this casino will probably be gone.

"What are these two bad old men going to do?" Even though Feng Liping had been around casinos for many years, he was also shocked by Tripp's extreme pressure. If you don't pick it up, the casino sign will be gone. If you pick it up, the entire casino will lose if you're not careful.

Tripp watched Feng Liping's expression changes closely, with a proud smile on his lips, as if he was preparing to see Feng Liping's joke.

Ye Fang turned to Feng Liping and said, "I believe Mr. Feng will pick it up, right?"

Feng Liping turned to look at Ye Fang, swallowed secretly, turned to Tripp and said, "Okay, no problem."

"Okay, happy! I like Mr. Feng's temperament." Then Tripp took out a check and threw it on the coffee table, saying, "First give me [-] million chips in exchange for US dollars!"

General Ye Fang waved his hand, Nan Yi leaned down, listened to Ye Fang's instructions and nodded, then took the check on the coffee table and walked out.

"I wonder if Mr. Feng can play with me?" Tripp asked.

"You want to bet with me?!" Feng Liping said.

Tripp nodded and said, "Winning or losing doesn't matter, it's just 20 million. I believe Mr. Feng won't dare to play in such a large casino. Don't worry, we have a limit of [-] billion US dollars. We can win or lose to this How about we stop with numbers?”

"Two billion U.S. dollars?" There were beads of sweat on Feng Liping's forehead. It was nearly 20 billion yuan. What on earth did the two old men in front of him want to do.

Ye Fang smiled slightly at this time and said, "Maybe I haven't played for a long time, so why don't I play with Mr. Tripp."

"You?!" Tripp's eyelids moved slightly, a cold light shot out from his narrow eyes, and suddenly he spread his hands and said with a smile, "Okay, no problem."

Soon a waiter came in with two plates of chips. Ye Fang and Tripp sat at both ends of the gaming table, while Feng Liping and Adelson sat next to them.

"I wonder what Mr. Tripp likes to play?" Ye Fang asked very gentlemanly.

"I like playing poker, and I'm best at Texas Hold'em. What about you, Mr. Ye?" Tripp asked with a smile.

"I don't know how to play poker, but I'm best at eating Texas Braised Chicken." Ye Fang said seriously.

After hearing Ye Fang's nonsense, Nan Yi and Lu Jiuge behind them both burst into laughter. Feng Liping on the side murmured, "Is there braised chicken in Texas?"

"Hmm..." Tripp was also confused. Apparently he didn't understand the funny point of Ye Fang's Texas Braised Chicken. He himself didn't know that there was Braised Chicken in Texas. What?

"Old Te, no matter what kind of poker it is, it's just about comparing the big and small. Let me propose a way of playing it. Let's draw a card from a deck of cards to compare the big and small until we count all the chips in our hands. How about it?" Ye Fang suggested.

"This... this doesn't seem to have any skills." Tripp looked embarrassed. After all, Texas Hold'em poker is skill-first, which is perfect for a scheming hand like him, and it is more in line with his personality. identity. However, Ye Fang pointed out that this kind of card drawing comparison has no technical content and is just a comparison of luck, which really didn't make Tripp like it.

But Tripp can't say that he can't play. What matters in the casino is momentum. Once the momentum loses, the outcome of the game will definitely not be better.

Looking at Ye Fang's calm and calm look, Tripp didn't care at all what Ye Fang called him at this time, and said directly, "Okay, I can do it."

"However, what I am worried about now is whether Mr. Feng's casino can cash the U.S. dollars I want if I win," Tripp said.

"Yes, no problem!" Feng Liping replied immediately.

At this time, Tripp shook his head and said, "This is not 20 million yuan, but [-] million US dollars. Even if you can pay for [-] million US dollars, can you afford [-] billion US dollars? Why don't we sign an agreement? , if you can’t cash out the chips, how about using this casino to pay off?”

I finally saw the drama, and it turned out that the target was still this casino! Feng Liping thought to himself.

"Mr. Lao Te, are you so sure that you will win?" Ye Fang asked curiously.

Trump smiled and said, "Of course, I've always made good bets and I've never lost."

Ye Fang nodded with satisfaction and said, "So you have 20 billion US dollars with you? We don't accept bad checks."

"I can sign a guarantee. If Mr. Tripp doesn't offer $20 billion, I will!" Adelson said.

"It seems that these two old gentlemen are determined to win!" Ye Fang said with a smile, "Okay, we will take it. If we cannot redeem the 20 billion chips by then, this casino will be given to Mr. Tripp."

"You..." Tripp looked at Ye Fang and asked, "Is that what you said?"

"This is my boss!" After saying this, Feng Liping stood up and stood behind Ye Fang, showing a silent respect.

"Oh?!" Adelson and Tripp looked at each other, thinking that they had come to the right place today.

"How about it, gentlemen, can we start?" Ye Fang asked with a smile.

"Let's begin." Tripp motioned.

At this time, Ye Fang called a bodyguard behind Adelson to act as the dealer. After shuffling a deck of cards countless times, he drew a circle on the gaming table and then signaled to Ye Fang and Tripp that they could start. .

Ye Fang and Tripp each drew a card and placed it in front of each other. Tripp glanced at the card, but Ye Fang did not.

"You are the guest, you place your bet first. I will follow you as much as you bet." Ye Fang said calmly.

"My cards are not big, maybe 200 million." Tripp threw out a chip.

Ye Fang threw one out casually, and Trip asked with a smile, "Don't you look at your cards?"

"You have to follow it even if you don't look at it, so it doesn't make any sense." Ye Fang casually turned over the cards, and it was an Eight of Grass and Flowers.

Tripp smiled slightly and turned over the playing cards in front of him. It was a nine of diamonds.

It was clear that Tripp won.

Tripp laughed, took Ye Fang's chips, gestured arrogantly at Ye Fang, and said, "It seems that Mr. Ye's luck is not very good tonight."

"The days are long!" Ye Fang drew another card, but still didn't look at it. After taking a twitch, Trip took a glance and signaled to Ye Fang, "Mr. Ye, please place your bet first this time."

After ten games of this, Tripp had won 5000 million in chips, equivalent to nearly 5000 million in RMB. The face of Tripp opposite him was almost bursting with laughter. Adelson on the side was also envious. He originally thought that this kind of competition that was purely based on luck and even a bit boring was not interesting. Who knew that he was also frightened? How could he have thought that Tripp would win [-] million US dollars in one fell swoop? This kind of scale is a big gamble in the United States.

"Mr. Ye, I think you will definitely lose this casino to me tonight!" Trip said confidently, his pride evident in his words.

At this time, Feng Liping leaned over and said to Ye Fang, "Boss, why don't you take a break and change your hand style." Feng Liping, who has worked in casinos for many years, knows that when a person is not very lucky, he must learn to change his hand style. If he has time, he can still change his hand style. Very useful.

Ye Fang smiled and waved his hand and said, "It will be ready soon." Then he said to the bodyguard dealer, "Change the deck of cards and wash them well."

The bodyguard who acted as the dealer repeatedly shuffled the cards according to Ye Fang's instructions, recoded the cards, and then signaled Ye Fang and Trip to draw cards.

Ye Fang drew a card but still put it in front of him without looking at it. After looking at Tripp, he said, "Old Te, why don't we play a big one and put all our chips on this card? How about that? Of course if If you feel that your cards are not strong enough, you can give up!"

"Are you sure?" Tripp looked at the [-] million U.S. dollars in chips on the table. He had never played such a big gambling game in his life. There was some hesitation on his face for a moment. On the other hand, Ye Fang always had a look on his face. With a faint smile, it seemed that he didn't take this bet seriously at all.

Ye Fang nodded coolly and said, "Of course, I will make up for the shortfall in chips."

Alderson next to Tripp looked at the calm Ye Fang and suddenly had a bad feeling. Just when he was about to remind Tripp, he heard Tripp shouting "Okay!"

Tripp picked up the cards with trembling hands and looked through them gently. At that moment, Tripp felt that his heart was about to jump out. Then he laughed loudly and slammed the cards on the on the desktop.

When Tripp moved his hand away, an Ace of Hearts appeared on the table...
