Siheyuan: Taking over the steel mill

The assistant immediately followed the order and started making phone calls. Everyone was also moved by the magnificent momentum of the yacht presented in the movie.

Everyone feels that it would be so much fun to have a vacation on such a luxurious movie-themed cruise ship.

The assistant immediately called the Baifan Shipyard.

The staff on duty did not expect to receive another enquiry call today and reported the current situation of the shipyard to the other party truthfully.

However, the assistant of the "gambler king" did not give up easily and asked for the contact information of the factory manager. The employees of the "White Sail Shipyard" were obviously not aware of Su Chen's personal contact information.

Fortunately, the phone number that could be provided was related to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

While waiting for his assistant to contact Su Chen, the gambling king had a wonderful vision of owning a cruise ship in his mind.

If the benefits of purchasing one ship are significant, he envisions buying five or six luxury cruise ships at a time to expand his business empire.

For this ** tycoon, relying solely on traditional business methods to make profits is obviously not enough; he is eager to explore more business models.

Because, as the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket, and diversification can reduce potential risks.

After the assistant contacted the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and learned that Su Chen was out, he contacted Secretary Zhang. After listening to the introduction of the situation, Secretary Zhang immediately provided Su Chen's contact information.

The gambling king's assistant got the phone and immediately called Su Chen.

At that time, Su Chen was resting and was curious about the sudden call from an unknown number. However, considering that not many people knew his mobile phone number, in order to avoid missing out on important sources of information, Su Chen chose to answer the call.

When Su Chen heard the person on the phone introduce himself as the assistant of the gambling king and expressed his desire to discuss a certain deal, he was slightly surprised that the target customer he thought he was actually visiting him. So he replied, "It's me. What do you want to discuss specifically?"

The gambling king's assistant said, "Please wait a moment. I will hand the phone to my boss right away."

While handing the phone to the gambling king, he explained the situation of the call, bringing the latter back to reality from the imagination of building a new business territory. "I want to know, how much does a yacht like the one in the movie cost?" The gambling king asked Su Chen directly, without any intention of beating around the bush.

Su Chen realized that the opportunity had come and replied, "3000 million US dollars per ship." This amount immediately shocked the gambling king.

The beautiful blueprint that was originally envisioned seemed to collapse in an instant.

In this day and age, $3000 million is enough to do a lot of things, so why choose to buy such a luxury item, especially for a sea cruise?

Of course, for the gambling king, this method is not necessary. After all, there is no risk in running his casino as long as the current law allows.

The gambling king was frankly surprised at Su Chen's high price, "My friend, this price is really too high."

Su Chen smiled and replied, "If you buy a single ship, the price is indeed high; but if you consider the added value, it is definitely worth it."

This aroused the curiosity of the gambling king. "Then, besides the ship itself, what kind of additional value does it have that makes it worthy of such a high price?"

Seeing that his opponent did not retreat immediately, Su Chen took the opportunity to explain, "I am selling a cruise ship, but in addition to providing a leisure and entertainment venue, it can also explore many other profit channels. It is indeed worth the 3000 million US dollars."

The gambling king said with great interest: "I want to know more details."

Suchen said solemnly: "Today's yachts are mostly for personal use. Apart from being used by the rich to decorate their facades, they are usually idle in the port with no other use. But my yacht is not only luxurious in appearance, but also can travel around the world. You only need to charge for tickets and various additional service fees, and this income will be enough to recover the cost of 30 million US dollars."

After listening to Su Chen's words, the gambling king was thoughtful. In fact, he originally planned to buy a yacht for private docking and enjoyment.

Even if they were taken out to play on the high seas, it was just a "fun" with friends. But now, the suggestion put forward by Su Chen gave him a new perspective.

If it is true as Su Chen said, then this yacht is not just an empty shell. Its interior decoration is as luxurious as a movie scene, so more things can be done on it.

After thinking for a long time, the gambling king seemed to be a little shaken. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll place an order at your shipyard." Su Chen smiled and responded: "Thank you very much for your care!"

"As for the details, let's wait until we meet and discuss in detail to finalize the specific agreement." Su Chen continued, "It should be so."

Indeed, given the sheer size of the transaction, it was clearly not something that could be properly resolved through telephone communication alone.

Su Chen knew that the sale of luxury yachts would increase his shipyard's revenue several times, or even dozens of times. If everything went well, the shipyard would regain vitality.

Therefore, he appeared very calm during the conversation. Such an attitude made the gambling king feel very respectful. There was such a person in the younger generation who could face the challenge calmly. Even the gambling king when he was not yet rich might not be as calm and composed as Su Chen.

While Su Chen successfully negotiated the yacht order, Xu Damao had walked out of the cinema for the third time. Ever since watching the movie "God of Gamblers", Xu Damao has been fascinated by the movie. So he bought tickets again and again to watch the movie.

The hero Gao Jin** in the film was so extraordinary that he deeply touched Xu Damao's heart.

Although the film is obviously fiction, Xu Damao regards it as real gambling. So while watching "God of Gamblers" repeatedly, he also dreams of learning superb gambling techniques from it.

By the time he finished watching the movie for the fifth time, Xu Damao had already memorized the contents of God of Gamblers and felt that he had made some progress in his gambling skills.

The popularity of the movie also prompted Xu Damao to buy special clothes and dress up like Gao Jin in the film in order to obtain the protection of some mysterious power.

With the popularity of "God of Gamblers", Gao Jin's dressing style quickly became a trend across the country, with countless imitators.

Xu Damao, dressed up as Gao Jin, walked into the ** venue with all his assets, full of confidence, ready to show his skills.

Although he lost his job at the Red Star Steel Plant, he had accumulated a lot of savings due to his long-term frugality, which gave him the courage to go **.

He hailed a taxi and went straight to the lobby in front of the **. Xu Damao was full of confidence and thought that after watching "God of Gamblers" five times, he had completely mastered the **'s winning tactics. [Too much sensitive content, unable to continue to output]

Xu Damao stood aside and sneered. In his eyes, he was different from other gamblers because he had studied Gao Jin's behavior in depth. For Xu Damao, his understanding of Gao Jin gave him confidence that he would win a brilliant victory.

So, with full confidence, Xu Damao exchanged all the cash he had with him for chips without hesitation. Then, he dressed up as Gao Jin and shuttled among the gamblers. With some gambling table skills he learned from the movie, he squeezed into the most core ** - the table surrounded by players who thought they had learned ** by watching "God of Gamblers".

This place is the busiest area in the **, where the most gamblers gather. Since the protagonists in the movie "God of Gamblers" love to play this game, it has become the preferred destination for those who claim to be masters of gambling. When Xu Damao put the chips on the table, he imitated Gao Jin's behavior and took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and tasted it slowly, although he himself did not prefer this thing.

At this time, almost every player at the table was trying to look like Gao Jin, and they often had snacks in their mouths, which looked quite funny. However, when the first hand was dealt, even after watching the video five times, Xu Damao still couldn't figure out the specific rules of the game. Under the urging of the dealer, he almost blindly placed a few bets, silently praying that his luck would bring him a lot of money.

However, in the casino, especially in a place that requires real skills and strategies, the word "good luck" has almost no market. After several consecutive rounds of losses, Xu Damao quickly realized that for someone like him who didn't even understand the rules, it was almost impossible to defeat those experienced professional gamblers. Before long, his chips were taken away by the dealer.

Despite the disastrous defeat, Xu Damao was unwilling to quit and even declared that he was willing to use his clothes as gambling chips. "I still have something to bet! I'll use this dress to bet again!" His proposal did not attract much attention from the people present. Most people, including the dealer, just responded with indifference or contempt. Here, the emotions are out of control because of ** [Too much sensitive content, can't continue to output]

Those who deal with gambling have, of course, seen the popular movie "God of Gamblers". If it weren't for the influence of this movie, their business would probably not be so prosperous. For customers like Xu Damao, who think they can understand the superb gambling skills in the movie and come to the gambling house to make a fortune, the watchdogs and managers in the gambling house just laugh secretly.

Can a movie really teach a master? Do you think you have learned the secret of ** after watching it? If ** is so easy to learn, how can ** become a master?

Not to mention, these muddle-headed thieves can't even do the most basic calculations in front of **. Even without any extra tricks, **'s family can easily drain **'s pockets.

Xu Damao was completely unaware that he had been made a laughing stock by everyone, and he still stubbornly refused to accept the fact of failure. Seeing this, the bodyguards in the ** directly lifted Xu Damao up, dragging him around like a piece of merchandise that no one wanted, with anger and shame on their faces.

** Inside and outside, other gamblers had no interest in caring about Xu Damao's fate. Everyone only wanted to win more money. So Xu Damao was thrown out of the ** door like a discarded object and fell on the road.
