Tan Xiu?
This name was deeply engraved in Ouyang Lulu's heart. She was very clear about the importance of a person that Chu Yi and Bai Tao had in mind. Not to mention that this person was worshipped by Long Zhengyu, so he absolutely must not be underestimated.
Furthermore!
If the legendary gold manager Kang Xia really went to Star City alone for him, then he was really amazing. Of course, regardless of whether Kang Xia would work for him or not, as long as Kang Xia personally went there, his means were already heaven-defying.
"I seem to be more interested in this Tan Xiu than Long Zhengyu." Ouyang Lulu smiled as she handed the brewed tea to the two of them.
Bai Tao suppressed the shock in his heart as he took the tea and said, "I have the same feeling. That Chu Yi really aroused my interest. If he's really amazing, I don't mind having another friend. "
Chu Yi shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not easy to become Tan Xiu's friend. If I'm not mistaken, Long Zhengyu and Tan Xiu are not real friends when we were in Star City. Even if Long Zhengyu gave him a villa and spared no effort to help him. There are some people in this world who can easily become friends without any conflicts of interest. But once they are mixed with interests, wanting to become real friends is as difficult as ascending to the blue sky. "
Ouyang Lulu let out a shallow smile and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about this. You two came to Jingmen Island, don't tell me that you want to talk about old times with this old classmate of yours? Tell me, what's so fun about it? I can join in. "
Bai Tao and Chu Yi glanced at each other. Then, Chu Yi chuckled and said, "I got a call two days ago. One of my Little Brother's men recently became a banker in Jingmen Island and cheated a kid. As a result, the young one was beaten and the old one came forward. Because of this, my little brother won a jade pendant of extremely high quality from the old man. You also know that I'm very interested in jades and jadeite business, so I came here to have a look. "
Ouyang Lulu said with a smile, "I know about this. The one who got cheated is called Jia Ruidao. He used to be a famous professional gambler, and could barely be considered a master. Unfortunately, this time he met a difficult opponent, one of the top three golden fingers in Macao, Ye Taifu. Not only did he lose all his money, but he also borrowed hundreds of millions of yuan from his old friends. I reckon that he's about to lose everything again. "
Chu Yi said with a smile, "I have no interest in gambling. But I'm interested in that jade pendant. "
Ouyang Lulu looked at the time and said, "They happen to be gambling today. Do you want to go and have a look? Oh, right, since you are here, you should know that the bet between Ye Taifu and Jia Ruidao is going to take place in our Paradise Club, right? "
"Bang bang …"
Someone knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man walked into the room.
"What is it?"
Ouyang Lulu casually asked.
The middle-aged man said, "Boss, the next bet is between Ye Taifu and Jia Ruidao. Jia Ruidao suddenly called a halt and left our Paradise Club. He said that the bet will be rescheduled to tomorrow."
Ouyang Lulu's brows pricked as she looked at Chu Yi and said with a smile, "It seems that you won't be able to see it today. Let's go! I'll treat you to dinner tonight. "
"Alright!"
Chu Yi and Bai Tao didn't care about the bet, so they weren't disappointed.
Jingmen Island.
Outside the Jarvis 5-star Hotel's entrance, Jia Ruidao's face was full of excitement. His eyes were constantly looking at the street in the distance. Next to him, his second disciple, Zhang Tiechun, also had a face full of expectation. Their savior would arrive soon! They were very clear that the upcoming arrival of their benefactor would be their last life-saving straw.
"Master, Master Tang should be arriving soon, right?"
Zhang Tiechun raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
Jia Ruidao said, "Yes! He should have arrived by now. Could it be that there was an accident on the road? "
Zhang Tiechun's eyes narrowed as he pointed to the street and asked, "Master, that should be the car, right?"
Jia Ruidao looked at his second disciple's arm and suddenly said with a pleasantly surprised expression, "Yes, that's your Junior Brother's car. He should be coming back."
The car stopped.
Jia Ruidao sprinted to the car and opened the door.
"Brother Tang!"
The moment Jia Ruidao saw Tan Xiu, he excitedly called out.
However, his address made his three disciples look at each other in dismay as they blushed with shame. After all, even the youngest among them, Jia Yelei, was five or six years older than Tan Xiu. This address directly lowered their seniority.
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "Weren't you gambling on the table? Why did you come back? “
Jia Ruidao said with a bitter expression, "I lost almost all my money. I must leave some money for you to gamble with the other party tomorrow. So, I called for a halt midway and hurried back. "
Tan Xiu said, "Let's go! Let's go inside. "
In the presidential suite on the top floor of the Jarvis Hotel, Tan Xiu and Jia Ruidao sat on the sofa in the hall while Jia Ruidao's three disciples stood behind him. Every time Jia Yelei's eyes swept over his father, a trace of fear could be seen on his face.
"Brother Tang, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. You came from thousands of miles away to help me. I, Jia Ruidao, will always remember this gratitude in my heart. If you need me in the future, even if it's a mountain of blades or a sea of flames, I, Jia Ruidao, will never frown. "Jia Ruidao said with a sincere expression.
Tan Xiu said, "Give me the opponent's information."
Jia Ruidao immediately nodded to his second disciple, Zhang Tiechun. A moment later, the information was handed over to Tan Xiu. While Tan Xiu was reading the information, Jia Ruidao said, "Our opponent is called Chen Kai, a famous playboy in Jingmen Island. This time, he invited Ye Taifu with a huge sum of money. Not only my disciples, but I also lost a lot of games. Ye Taifu is one of the top three gambling masters in Macao. He's also a famous cheat. I thought that even if I'm not stronger than him, I'm not much worse than him, but … alas! "
While listening to Jia Ruidao's narration, Tan Xiu looked at the information in his hands. Ten minutes later, he knew the whole thing like the back of his hand. He also had a general understanding of the opponent's situation.
"A very difficult master to deal with."
Tan Xiu secretly sighed inside his heart. He looked at Jia Ruidao and said, "I can help you gamble with the opponent, but I have a condition."
Jia Ruidao said, "Please say it!"
Tan Xiu said, "First of all, I want to make it clear that I don't know how to gamble. I think you're clear about this. After all, when we were gambling, I secretly learned your skills. If I really lose, you can't blame me. "
Jia Ruidao seriously said, "I absolutely won't."
Tan Xiu said, "If I win, I don't care about your capital, but I want half of all the money I win."
Jia Ruidao said without hesitation, "I only want my wife's belongings. All the other money is yours."
Tan Xiu shook his head, "I said, I only want half."
Jia Ruidao hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Tan Xiu didn't seem to be lying, he nodded and said, "I agree."
Tan Xiu looked at Jia Ruidao's three apprentices and immediately said, "My condition is finished. You also know that I don't know anything about gambling. Apart from dice, I don't know anything about other types of gambling. So today, you need to explain all types of gambling to me, and also teach me those skills. "
"Alright!"
Jia Ruidao also had this intention, so he happily agreed.
Immediately, Jia Ruidao ordered his three apprentices to find a variety of gambling tools. There were many types of gambling. Jia Ruidao focused on teaching Tan Xiu: Dice, Five-card Stud, Pai Gow, Mahjong, Blackjack, Golden Flower …
"You can play dice, and it's very good. I won't teach you this one. Now, the first thing I'll teach you is Blackjack. This gambling method is also the most common gambling method. I've been gambling with Ye Taifu for the past few days, and almost all of them are Blackjack. "
"Generally, Blackjack is used from 1 to 8 cards. The dealer will give two cards to each player. One card is facing up, which is called the name card, and the other is facing down, which is called the dark card. In total, it will be dealt … "
"Ordinary gamblers may only rely on luck to win or lose. But a real master gambler completely relies on a variety of skills. To put it bluntly, those skills are almost all a smokescreen, used to deceive people. "
"As the saying goes, nine out of ten gambles are deceiving people."
Jia Ruidao explained while demonstrating to Tan Xiu. Along with the constant changes of his hands, the skillful shuffling of the cards with lightning speed, made Tan Xiu secretly exclaim in admiration: Three hundred and sixty professions, each profession has its own master. If one's gambling skill can be practiced to the acme of perfection, one can absolutely make a fortune.
Of course, the premise is that one must have the opportunity to win money, and have the life to spend it.
"The second is Five-card Stud …"
"The third is Pai Gow …"
"The fourth is …"
"…"
Time passed bit by bit, and in the blink of an eye, it was already evening. Jia Ruidao and Tan Xiu didn't eat, they even forgot the feeling of hunger. Between the two of them, one was enjoying teaching, and the other one was enjoying learning to his heart's content. Even at night, they didn't pay attention.
"The last one is Golden Flower."
Jia Ruidao grabbed a new deck of playing cards. After drawing out the Joker and Joker, he looked at Tan Xiu and said, "This way of playing …"
Tan Xiu waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "I know how to play this game because I've seen others play it. You just need to tell me the technique of Golden Flower. "
Jia Ruidao knew that Tan Xiu was formidable. He had seen it before, and today, it was an eye-opener for him. He taught Tan Xiu the gambling skill, and Tan Xiu quickly learned it. Even his proficiency in it also improved at lightning speed. Therefore, he didn't have the slightest anger toward Tan Xiu for interrupting him. Instead, he was secretly happy.
"There are two main aspects to pay attention to when playing Golden Flower. First: Deception. To quote from the Art of War: the art of deception. Playing is actually a psychological game. Some people get small cards, but they can rely on the 'deception' to win big. Some people get big cards, but they are afraid that the other side will get bigger, so they give up. "
"Second: Secretly take pictures and change cards. A lot of powerful experts have hidden cards on their bodies. This kind of hidden card can't be found by others, but it depends on the other party's ability to hide it. The other one is hand speed. In gambling, hand speed plays a crucial role. For example, this Golden Flower … "
