Chapter 841, 842 Five minutes to solve
The Liufu picture was rolled up and put aside. Bai Ming, Liu Jun and Mr. Mao looked at it from time to time, feeling very reluctant to part with it.
The appearance of these paintings was indeed beyond their expectations. Taro Yamamoto did not look like a very good person, but his collection was quite good. These paintings were considered high-quality and rarely seen in China.
The croupier on the side began to introduce the rules of the gambling game. Li Yang listened carefully. It was similar to what he saw on TV. There was nothing special to pay attention to.
Taro Yamamoto has been staring at the chips in front of Li Yang, with the corners of his mouth raised high.
Strictly speaking, the market value of these paintings of his is definitely more than three million US dollars, and it is possible that they will be worth five million US dollars at auction. These are the best pieces in his collection, the result of many years of hard work.
.
If he didn't want to lure Li Yang into taking the bait, he wouldn't have taken out these most important paintings.
But in his heart, he never thought that he would lose. He started gambling when he was a teenager. He is fifty years old this year and has more than thirty years of casino experience. It is not easy to deal with a casino fledgling like Li Yang.
.
"Mr. Li, can we start?"
As soon as the croupier finished the introduction, Yamamoto Taro immediately asked again. With three million chips, he could even estimate the time in his mind. Li Yang could win all the chips in twenty minutes, or at most half an hour.
"let's start!"
Li Yang casually tossed out a chip, still wearing the most confident smile on his face.
After throwing out the chips, Li Yang looked at the ancient paintings and Liufu paintings placed next to him. Five of them were famous Chinese paintings, which made Li Yang sigh in his heart.
Experts once conducted a survey and found that there are more than 200,000 ancient Chinese calligraphy and paintings circulating outside, of which Japan alone accounts for one-third. Taro Yamamoto is just an ordinary businessman, and he is still a businessman abroad, and there are so many Chinese calligraphy and paintings.
There are more fine works than those of some famous collectors in China, which fully proves this survey result.
So much of China's wealth was plundered by others through war.
When Li Yang sighed, the dealer had already started to deal the cards. The table was not long, and Li Yang's special ability did not need to be spread, so he could clearly see all the cards.
In this hand, Li Yang had a pair, as did Yamamoto Taro, and Li Yang's hand was slightly higher.
The gambling game started, Aoki Weiyang, Mitsui Yasushi and the others all sat upright, Lin Bowen also kept paying attention to Li Yang.
He knew very well what Taro Yamamoto had in mind. If Li Yang really lost, Lin Bowen would jump out to remind him and would not let him fall into Taro Yamamoto's trap.
Zhou Wen and Li Pei had been standing by, listening to Li Can keep talking about what happened to Li Yang in the past two years.
The two of them hadn't seen Li Yang for several years and didn't understand Li Yang's current situation at all. The more Li Can spoke, the wider their mouths opened. In the end, they just stayed there as if they were listening to a myth.
.
We haven’t seen each other for a few years, but their boss is now the number one person in the stone gambling industry, a well-known collector and appraiser in the country, and the most popular person at this treasure appraisal conference.
The two of them didn't watch TV, but they still heard a little about the treasure appraisal conference. Especially in the afternoon, many people, whether they were customers or casino staff, were talking about the treasure appraisal conference.
These days, the most famous thing in Toronto is this treasure appraisal conference.
However, the two of them didn't pay much attention to this matter. They were both just starting out as part-time workers, so they didn't have the spare time to collect, and they had no interest in collecting.
The reason why the two of them heard about the treasure appraisal conference was because of the appearance of the Chinese artifact Jade Seal. After the treasure appraisal conference ended this morning, many casino colleagues told them about it.
There are not many Chinese people in this casino, but these two are authentic Chinese.
Because of other people's descriptions, the two of them knew that the Chuanguo Jade Seal had appeared at this treasure appraisal conference and caused a lot of commotion, as well as the subsequent debate between Japanese swords and Chinese swords, and the Japanese artifact Amancongyun Sword.
Appeared.
But they never expected that the person who caused this series of commotion turned out to be their classmate and the boss in the same dormitory. When others mentioned Li Yang's name in the morning, they thought it was an old man with the same name and did not go into details at all.
Go ask.
In their impression, those who came to the treasure appraisal conference were all well-known experts in the collection industry, so naturally they were older.
Zhou Wen still remembered that when Li Pei said Li Yang's name, he smiled and said to him, "It would be great if Li Yang, who took out the national jade seal, was their boss. If he brought glory to the country, their faces would also be bright."
Now this sentence has become a fact.
Li Pei swallowed hard and looked at Li Yang again. What Li Can said always made him feel a little unreal, not like it was real. The boss in front of him also made him feel strange.
"Second brother, fourth brother, it's best if you resign and go back to the boss for help. I will definitely help you find a better job. My current job as a senior executive in the auction company was arranged for me by the boss!"
Li Can said with a smile, patting his chest when talking about work. Li Can knew Li Yang better. As long as his brother found him, he would definitely help, not to mention the resignation of Zhou Wen and Li Pei and Li Yang.
It has something to do with it.
"Don't worry, Lao Liu, I'm following Boss Ding this time. Let's go home and develop!"
Li Pei nodded fiercely, feeling a little excited, both for Li Yang and for himself.
Working abroad sounds great, but only those who have actually worked abroad know the bitterness of it. Two years ago, they were on a ship and almost lost their lives. Later, they came to Canada and worked in a Toronto casino.
The work at the bottom is even more ups and downs.
Now that he has the opportunity to return to China and that his boss can help him, Li Pei, who has a relatively straightforward temperament, doesn't think much about it and is only happy in his heart.
Zhou Wen didn't speak, just looked at Li Yang quietly.
He thought a little more. It would be great if he could follow Li Yang back to China and have good development, but if it caused Li Yang trouble, it would be better not to say this.
Among the six people in the same dormitory, Zhou Wen is the most attentive one, and he is also the one who likes to consider problems from the perspective of others.
Just now he took the initiative to drag Li Yang away, which is the best proof of his character.
"Mr. Li, I admire you!"
Yamamoto Taro collected the three cards and passed directly. He was not very sure about this hand and gave up after only two rounds. However, Li Yang's attitude made him a little unsure.
No matter what he bets, Li Yang will follow him, and Li Yang always has that confident smile on his face, without even looking at his hole cards.
This was completely different from other gamblers, but Taro Yamamoto didn't pay much attention to it. This was just the first hand of cards, and he only lost one hundred thousand US dollars. There were more opportunities next.
In the first hand, while everyone was paying attention to a few paintings and chatting, it ended quickly, and Li Yang won.
The croupier continued to deal the cards, and the smile on Li Yang's lips grew wider.
This hand of cards is very interesting. Li Yang has three of three, and there will be two threes on the card, and the hole card is also three. Yamamoto Taro's hole card is also three, but his card is a pair of five and a pair of ten, two pairs of cards.
.
Two pairs appear on the board, which is a good hand that has a chance of playing Fulhouse.
Sure enough, when the first pair appeared, Taro Yamamoto's face smiled a lot more, and his bet was increased from one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand.
Soon, all the cards were dealt to the two of them. When the people who were talking quietly around saw the cards, they immediately became quiet and looked at the gambling table quietly.
"Half a million!"
Taro Yamamoto made the final bet. His cards had two pairs, while Li Yang had only one pair. His hand might win much more than Li Yang's. Looking at Li Yang's cards, Zhou Wen and Li Pei stopped talking.
, the brows were also condensed tightly.
On the other side, Yamamoto Yui showed a cheerful smile. The more unlucky Li Yang was, the happier he became.
Now both of them have placed more than 500,000 in chips on the table. If they run at this time, the more than 500,000 will be gone. If they follow, they may lose more than 1 million. Whether Li Yang follows or runs,
, will be unlucky.
In Mitsui Yui's heart, she has already determined that Li Yang will lose this round.
"Five hundred thousand, don't follow me, there's not much hope of winning!"
Zhou Wen said softly, with some anxiety on his face. No matter how you look at it, Li Yang's one-on-three cards are not as big as Yamamoto Taro's five-and-ten cards. If Yamamoto Taro plays Rich House, then this
This time Li Yang was even more sure of losing and not winning.
After Yamamoto Taro placed the bet, he felt slightly nervous.
This time, he actually wanted to stud and let Li Yang lose everything, but he was afraid of scaring Li Yang away, so he placed the number of 500,000.
His hole card is not Rich House, but it is three, which means that there is only one three in the whole deck. The possibility that Li Yang's hole card is three is very low.
Moreover, there is a six and a nine on Li Yang's cards. Even if they form the largest double pair, a pair of nines versus three, they still can't beat Taro Yamamoto's two pairs.
No matter how you look at it at this time, Taro Yamamoto is much more likely to win than Li Yang.
Li Yang smiled softly and said: "Five hundred thousand, I'll follow!"
Yamamoto Taro breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could finish breathing, Li Yang had already pushed out most of the chips in front of him.
"If I raise all the chips on your table, I'll stud you!"
After Li Yang pushed out the chips, everyone was stunned. Yamamoto Taro, who had an absolute advantage in the cards, did not stud, but Li Yang, who was at a disadvantage, did stud. Several people's heads were still buzzing, and some of them couldn't understand.
.
Also, this was only the second hand of cards, and the time was less than three minutes, and it was already over at this time. This gambling game went too fast.
After pushing out the chips, Li Yang still sat there with a smile on his face, with the same confidence on his face.
"Boss, I haven't seen the trump card yet!"
Li Pei suddenly whispered, and the others were stunned again. That's right, Li Yang never touched the cards from beginning to end. He didn't even look at the hole cards before he played. Everyone felt dizzy at this moment.
feel.
Li Yang hasn't touched his cards yet. To be precise, he hasn't even touched his cards since he sat on this table.
Just pushed the chips a few times.
Li Yang actually dared to stud without seeing the hole cards and the cards were extremely unfavorable. This was simply something a lunatic would do. Li Pei covered his eyes and did not dare to look at it anymore.
To be continued...
